If you want a husband, you have to fight for it.

After entering Liu Ma's room, Liu Ma asked Yu Xiu, "What are you doing outside that makes such a big noise?"

"That girl Wan Chuncao is disliked by Xiao Yu again."

Yu Xiu seemed to be thinking about something. She said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Aunt Liu, have you noticed anything wrong with Wan Chuncao during the few days you've been with her?"

Aunt Liu didn't understand what she meant: "What's wrong?"

"that is……"

Yu Xiu couldn't put it into words, she just felt that this girl wouldn't tolerate anyone saying anything bad about her. If someone said something bad about her, she would immediately fight back, and it seemed like she did it unconsciously.

Liu Ma didn't care about it. She told Yu Xiu not to worry about it, saying, "She is just a country girl. She hangs out with her vulgar aunts and mothers in the village all day long. She has learned nothing but coarse things and only knows how to gossip. She doesn't know how to take other people's feelings into consideration."

"Country people are all like this."

Having said that, Yu Xiu did not ask any more questions. That was true. What kind of scheming could a country person have? He just said what he thought. It was different from being carefree and uncultured.

"By the way, when will you go back?"

Seeing Xu Muyu's hard life, Yu Xiu hoped that he would have a harder time. She thought so in her heart, but said: "If you go back, the remaining two children will not know how to make trouble."

Seeing that she had no objection to her going home, Aunt Liu went along with her words and said, "With someone who can cause trouble at home, it's naturally not peaceful. Who made them the only two to get married out of so many people in the world? It's fate."

Yes, why did it happen that among so many people in the world, these two enemies met each other? That's fate!

Yu Xiu left at noon, and Wan Chuncao wanted to keep her for lunch, saying that she was going to cook a dish of fried oranges and peppers, plus a dish of braised pork with preserved eggs.

Yu Xiu ran faster when she heard the name of the dish.

After Yu Xiu left, Wan Chuncao went to Liu Ma's room and reported the names of the dishes again.

Aunt Liu was so scared that she just asked her to cook a bowl of noodles like she did last night.

Wan Chuncao deliberately asked Liu Ma several times to confirm that she really didn't want to eat it before she brought her a bowl of white noodles.

The white flour is all broken into pieces, there is no oil, just a slight taste of soy sauce.

After taking a bite, Aunt Liu felt that it seemed like it had been washed, but thinking of Wan Chuncao's cooking skills, she endured it and finished it.

For lunch, we had stir-fried pork with green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and cold shredded chicken. Wan Chuncao also cooked a pot of rice.

When the food was served, Wan Chuncao filled Xu Muyu with a bowl of rice and said, "After Aunt Liu eats the noodles, she probably won't leave the room for a while, so let's just eat in peace."

There are several dishes on the table that Liu Ma rarely cooks. Not because it takes too much effort, but because Liu Ma likes to make stews and doesn’t like stir-fries. She thinks stir-fries have too much oil smell and it’s hard to wash off if it gets on clothes.

Xu Muyu faced the table with food but didn't pick up his chopsticks. He just looked at it.

"You will never be able to fill your stomach until the end of time."

Guan Chuncao pulled the stool and sat down next to Xu Muyu. After sitting down, she picked up a piece of egg with her chopsticks, pinched Xu Muyu's chin and drank it.

A mouthful of egg with tomato juice was forced into Xu Muyu's mouth. He almost choked, but he also tasted the sweetness of the juice. He frowned, chewed twice, and swallowed it.

Fortunately, it’s not too hard to swallow.

Only after seeing Xu Muyu eat it with her own eyes did Wan Chuncao not keep the chopsticks waiting at his mouth, clamping his mouth to prevent him from spitting out whenever he wanted to.

"Try it."

Wan Chuncao picked up some chicken for him and said, "I put whatever I have in the kitchen into the salad dressing. It's definitely not authentic, but it shouldn't be bad."

After eating a mouthful of egg, it was not so difficult to face a piece of shredded chicken. Xu Muyu stared at the piece of chicken and hesitated for a long time before he was ready to pick up the chopsticks.

Guan Chuncao didn't ask, and didn't even pay attention to him. After eating a mouthful of meat, he started chatting with Xu Muyu, saying, "Our village is very strange. We can raise pigs, donkeys, and ducks, but we can never raise chickens. We don't know what's wrong with those chicks. Anyway, they never grow up."

"If we want to eat chicken, we have to go to the market to buy it, which is very inconvenient."

Guan Chuncao casually put a piece of fried pork with peppers into Xu Muyu's bowl and continued, "Later, the head of our village said that this wouldn't work and we had to find out what the problem was. In order to benefit the villagers in our village, we decided to start by raising chickens at home."

"He asked his wife to buy a batch of chicks, fifteen in total. He marked each one and looked after them day and night. After ten days or so, he even memorized their appearances and voices."

While she was talking nonsense, Xu Muyu had already picked up the chopsticks and hesitated for a long time before taking the first bite.

There were more than a dozen grains of rice in it.

There is not much difference when you put the rice into your mouth, it's just rice.

It is edible rice. It will not become rice again just because someone else cooks it, but it will have a different taste.

Sweet.

Xu Muyu was a little surprised as he chewed the dozen or so grains of rice.

I tried to pick up a bigger piece and put it in my mouth again. It was still sweet and had a strong rice aroma.

This was also the first time Xu Muyu realized that rice has this thing called "rice aroma", which is very strange.

Guan Chuncao didn't even look at Xu Muyu. She was still gossiping about the fact that their village couldn't raise chickens.

She finished the half bowl of rice in her bowl without adding more, and continued: "Our village chief watched the chickens morning and night, and there was nothing wrong with them. Until one night, he heard a few chickens crowing, and the sound was quite strange."

"He thought, no way, the chickens are all asleep in the cage, how can they be crowing? And what kind of chicken can crow so unpleasantly?"

She picked up another piece of chili for Xu Muyu and said, "He didn't say anything. He took the flashlight and quietly climbed up. Guess what, he found a huge snake eating a chicken in the corner!"

"That's not the sound of a chicken at all. It's the snake's throat that can't swallow so many chicks in one bite, so it makes that sound!"

The story she told was not interesting at all, and Xu Muyu put down his chopsticks after she finished.

Wan Chuncao didn't force him. She took the leftovers from his bowl and ate herself.

When Xu Muyu saw her taking his leftover rice bowl, he thought she was going to do something, but when he saw her eat the rice he had eaten without any hesitation, he was shocked.

Wan Chuncao didn't care about his expression. She only saw that the peppers in the bowl were untouched. She asked him, "You don't eat peppers?"

Xu Muyu was still shocked at how she could eat his leftover rice so easily. No one had ever done this before. Wouldn’t it be like they were... a real family?

"Silly?"

Guan Chuncao swept his hand in front of Xu Muyu's eyes and asked him, "Why don't you eat chili?"

Xu Muyu came back to his senses, a little panicked, he turned his eyes away and said, "It's spicy."

"hot?"

After getting the answer, Wan Chuncao picked up the remaining pieces of chili in the bowl and threw them into her mouth to eat. She savored the taste and said, "The spiciness is not bad. Aunt Liu can't eat spicy food, so she bought this kind of chili that is not spicy enough."

"But you said you don't eat chili peppers. I'll remember that and I won't stir-fry them next time."

Xu Muyu turned his head again and saw her eating the bowl of rice as if nothing had happened. He said, "Next time, tell me what you are not eating, so that when we cook, there will be no waste and we can finish it."

Our home...

Xu Muyu looked at her for a long time and even forgot to put down his chopsticks.

During dinner, Liu Ma, who had been lying in bed unable to move, miraculously became able to move again.

Not only was she able to move, she also had something to announce.

"I have something to say."
