Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

Ye Lingche looked at Bai Sui'an with resentment.

The latter acted as if nothing had happened, picked up the bottles and jars and slowly added them to the filling, stirred them evenly, and then added a spoonful of oil and stirred.

She handed the stuffing to Ye Lingche, curled her lips, waved at him proudly, and left the kitchen.

Qi Decheng was puzzled: "Did you guys quarrel too?"

Ye Lingche chuckled and said, "Don't eat buns with this kind of filling later."

Qi Decheng also knew a little about cooking, but he didn't look closely at how Bai Sui'an pickled it. He only knew that Ye Lingche had been watching Bai Sui'an's every move.

"What's the matter? What did she put in there?"

He thought Bai Sui'an had added the wrong thing in it.

"Too much ingredients, the taste is a bit strong." Ye Lingche said.

Qi Decheng shook his head and said, "You saw it, but you didn't tell her?"

"What a waste of food."

Ye Lingche: "If I finish it, it won't be considered a waste."

Qi Decheng:?

If you want to eat alone, just say so!

After living in the same village for so long, Qi Decheng finally discovered that Ye Lingche had some mental problems.

"Okay, Sui'an is not here, Brother Qi, please do me a favor."

Somehow, Shitou outside had reconciled with Lin Yashu, and the two of them got together to catch shrimp.

Lin Rongkang was playing with Chang'an and Dahuang.

Bai Sui'an joined the conversation between Li Zhiyi and Li Xi.

The conversation was about growing crops and taxes.

It's not a good idea to bring the topic to the children.

Bai Sui'an wanted to talk about something else first, so she asked Li Zhiyi, "Grandpa Li, do you know what kind of people live in the village on the other side of the mountain? I've been in this village for so long, and I don't think I've seen people from that village interact with ours."

She acted very curious.

Li Xi's expression was a little stiff, but no one noticed her condition.

Li Zhiyi was older, so he needed to think for a while before he could speak. He said slowly, "When we were young, we followed our fathers into the mountains and met people from that area."

"That area is closer to Tianxuan Country. The people there dress a little differently from us. They are easy to get along with, and if we meet in the mountains, we'll share our prey."

"We haven't seen them much since then. Ever since we banned trade with Tianxuan Country, we haven't seen anyone from there. Maybe some of them went to town? Anyway, we don't have anyone from there."

"I don't know anyone there. Perhaps the elders in the village who are older than me can remember some of their old friends who lived there."

Even Li Zhiyi couldn't tell the details of the village over there.

Bai Sui'an doesn't know anyone older than him, and he doesn't know who to ask.

Suddenly, something came to mind. Li Zhiyi looked at Li Xi and said, "Xi girl, you should know something about what's going on over there, right? I remember your father used to take you two sisters there a lot. It seems like your mother has some distant relatives there?"

A trace of panic flashed across Li Xi's face, and he lowered his head and smiled, "That was a childhood thing. My father passed away a long time ago, and I haven't been there for so long that I can't remember these things."

Li Zhiyi's eyes widened slightly: "Your father passed away?"

"Well... he took my brother and sister away for so long, everyone said he was dead..."

Li Zhiyi's eyesight was poor, and he didn't see the expression on Li Xi's face clearly. He thought she was sad, so he didn't mention it again: "Well, well, you grew up eating food from hundreds of families, and you can marry a good man like Qi Decheng. You are more blessed than anyone else in your family."

"Yeah." Li Xi agreed softly.

She turned her head slightly, but found that Bai Sui'an had been looking at her, and she was a little flustered for a moment.

Bai Sui'an smiled at her and changed the subject: "But Sister Xi and Brother Qi have been married for so long, don't you really plan to have a child?"

Li Xi was stunned.

Li Zhiyi quickly spoke up, "Speaking of this, the villagers initially thought it was Qi Decheng's fault! Such a tall and capable young man, but he couldn't even have a child. Later, they realized it was you, Xi girl, who didn't want a child!"

"How can a person live without children? When you are old and can't walk anymore, you can still have children by your side, keeping them in your thoughts and helping you live longer."

From the tone of his voice, one could tell that even old people in the village like Li Zhiyi could not understand why Li Xi didn't want children.

Li Xi exhaled and said, "I'm just worried that I won't be able to raise the child well."

"Raising a child is not difficult. Just feed him vigorously when he's young. If anything seems wrong, see a doctor. Once he's able to speak, listen to what he wants and let him do what he wants."

After Li Zhiyi's explanation, Bai Sui'an finally understood why Shitou was always wandering around the village. It turned out that it was because Grandpa Li's parenting concept was to let the children do whatever they wanted.

It's kind of free.

Li Xi said: "I'm still quite afraid of this."

She was determined not to have children.

Bai Sui'an has also seen many people in modern times who do not want to get married or have children. Seeing Li Xi's low mood, she came to her rescue: "After all, raising a child is not that easy. Sister Xi is right to be afraid. Anyway, I have many children. You can play with my children when you have nothing to do. You can have children when you are no longer afraid."

Unexpectedly, the war turned to her.

Li Zhiyi: "Bai girl, you are still young. While Lin Che is still in good health, you can have a child of your own. Although all the children in the family are good, a child who looks like your own is more pleasing."

"Haha, Grandpa Li, this is a bad idea. Three children are enough for our family. If we have another one, I might become biased."

Hearing his rebuttal made sense, Li Zhiyi did not force him: "That's true. You have many children in your family, unlike mine, where there is only Shitou. I am old and can't spend much time with him. I am also worried that Shitou will think that I, an old man, am a burden to him."

"Shi Tou is a sensible child and won't blame you." Li Xi said.

"He won't blame me, but I will blame myself." Li Zhiyi smiled bitterly, "His parents are not around, and I can't help but feel that I owe him."

"You've already said that the child can speak and say whatever he wants. He hasn't said anything, has he?" Bai Sui'an consoled him.

"I only heard Shitou say that grandpa's eyesight is not good, and he wants grandpa to eat more fish eyes to make his eyes better."

The old man couldn't bear to hear the child's concern, and his eyes were always red. He thought of many things, but in the end he just sighed and said helplessly: "This child..."

The processed shrimps were soaked in water in a basin, and Shi Tou and Lin Yashu went to the kitchen to help take out the buns.

Everyone praised the pork-filled buns that had been steamed earlier.

But when Li Zhiyi took a bite of the steamed shrimp-stuffed buns, he frowned. The old man adhered to the principle of not wasting food and finished the whole bun.

Then he said in a hoarse voice, "You guys have a lot of salt at home. It's so salty."

Li Xi was about to take one to taste it when Qi Decheng stopped him.

"I've cooked something else, so leave some room for you." Qi Decheng said, and went to persuade the three children, "Just eat one of these freshly made buns. These are all made by Lin Che for herself, don't eat them all."

Bai Sui'an:?

"Why does he eat so much?" Bai Sui'an was not convinced and picked up a bun and started eating.

After finishing one, I have to eat another one.

The filling was full of juice, and Bai Sui'an's tongue felt the saltiness and bitterness at the same time. When he came to his senses, he realized that it was so salty that it was bitter. It was so unpalatable that he didn't even have time to notice the smoothness of the filling.

But she ate it anyway.

Thinking that the pickled filling he made was so unpalatable, Ye Lingche wanted to help her finish the remaining buns.

How could Bai Sui'an allow this to happen!

She has to clean up her own mess!

So she ate two more buns.

The three adults were stunned by her actions.

Qi Decheng couldn't persuade her, "You really aren't picky. No, sister, stop eating! Leave some for Lin Che!"

There weren’t many shrimp-filled buns, and there were still four left. Qi Decheng even picked up the plate.

"Lin Che must have known you were going to eat them, so he made these buns on purpose to annoy you. I give you credit, he's so mean!"

Qi Decheng was cursing here, and Li Xi looked up and asked, "Didn't you originally want to make buns with this filling?"

"Lin Che saw that Miss Bai had put too much stuffing in the marinade, so she mixed the stuffing and went to make meatball soup, saying she would make a few buns for herself."

"Ah?" Lin Yashu opened her mouth wide and quickly held Bai Sui'an's hand, "Mom, stop eating! Dad is bullying you. I'll go and teach him a lesson for you!"

The little girl took the plate and went straight to the kitchen to find her father.

Bai Sui'an and Qi Decheng followed behind her.

"Dad!" The little girl called out to Ye Lingche angrily.

Her father turned around and saw the few buns left on the plate. He frowned and said, "Did you eat all my buns?"
