Aunt Li wanted to say something else.

"If you're so nosy, go back and take care of your daughter."

Uncle Great-grandfather's words made Aunt Li shut up immediately.

If she could take good care of her daughter, she wouldn't be so worried all day long.

……

"Grandpa, grandma isn't here yet?"

Sihai walked in from outside dragging a small cradle with Wuyuan in it. He tripped when he entered the door.

The little cradle banged heavily against the door threshold.

Aunt Li's heart was pounding when she saw this.

Just after Xu Yiyi finished talking to Aunt Li, Sihai felt that the atmosphere in the yard was strange. He first carried Wuyuan out, and then ran back to get his little basket.

By the time Aunt Li reacted, Sihai and Wuyuan had already run away.

Seeing Sihai carrying Wuyuan out of the basket, Uncle Taiye subconsciously wanted to hide.

When I came to my senses, I found that the child was smiling.

There is no trace of the skin he had when he was tortured before.

"Your grandmother is at the back, come over later."

Uncle said with a smile and turned his eyes away, not wanting to meet Wu Yuan's eyes.

But he never expected that before he even looked at it, Wu Yuan was holding back his mouth and looked like he was about to cry.

"Don't cry, brother. This is our great grandfather. He's not a bad person."

Sihai held Wuyuan and walked slowly. The child lay in his brother's arms, and his little mouth, which was almost wrinkled into waves, was smoothed out in an instant.

"Hey—is this kid picking on me? He cries whenever he sees me, and last time I hugged him, he cried even louder."

Also weird.

"Grandpa, your beard is too long. My brother gets scared when he sees it."

Sihai said this seriously, and his uncle stroked his beard.

Wu Yuan looked at his uncle with bright eyes.

"I didn't even cry, how can you talk nonsense!"

My great uncle’s beard was gray and as long as an adult’s palm.

It spreads from the chin to both sides of the cheeks, and even connects with the hair on the temples. When he speaks, the beard trembles slightly as if it has life.

Sihai had always been very afraid of his uncle's beard, which looked ferocious and evil.

"Because I coaxed my little brother into crying, otherwise he would have cried."

Sihai shook his head, and used his bulging belly to push against Wuyuan's small body, looking very proud.

"Si Hai, put your brother down. Don't hold him anymore. Don't let him get too tired."

Aunt Li walked over and carried Wu Yuan down.

The child started whining immediately, and Sihai pulled Wuyuan's calf and carried his brother back.

He walked to the bamboo mat and gently put his brother down.

"This child is so stingy. I can't even hold her. I remember when her father just died and her mother ran away, I helped take care of her all the time. I didn't expect her to become like this when she grew up."

Aunt Li said helplessly.

"Aunt Li, my brother is not stingy. He must have been scared by your face suddenly getting so close."

Sihai patted his brother's chest and spoke seriously.

When Aunt Li held the child, her face was too close to him. In the child's eyes, it was good enough that he didn't cry because someone he hadn't seen for a long time suddenly came up to him.

Aunt Li looked at Wu Yuan and didn't know what to say. How could a child from a fishing village be so spoiled?

As they were talking, my uncle's grandmother walked in slowly, holding my aunt's hand.

Honglian followed behind, holding handkerchiefs for Xu Yiyi and Erer.

As soon as the uncle's grandmother came in, she reached over and picked up Wu Yuan. The child didn't cry, but smiled happily.

Sihai immediately turned to look at Aunt Li, his eyes seeming to say, "Look, she didn't even cry when Grandma held her."

Uncle Grandma held Wu Yuan on her lap, and her posture was correct, so Wu Yuan didn't feel uncomfortable and naturally didn't cry.

Auntie A Si was a sharp-eyed woman, and she went straight to the kitchen as soon as she came in.

Xu Yiyi was putting the duck into a pot of boiling water, covering the duck. He turned the heat to low, covered it with a lid, and kept the water at a slight boil.

The duck was not very big, so the fire was turned off after cooking for a quarter of an hour.

The whole duck is soaking in the pot and will be served when Sanchuan comes back.

"How do you get this abalone?"

Aunt Asi glanced at the dishes in the kitchen and saw only a basket of abalone left.

"Stew it together with the pork belly. I guess it's about time to put it in."

Xu Yiyi lifted the lid of the pot of stewing pork belly, and the rich aroma instantly hit her face and filled the entire kitchen.

Aunt Asi took over the work from Xu Yiyi very quickly and added the abalone into the pot.

What comes into view are pieces of brightly colored, crystal clear pork belly with a glossy luster.

When abalone is added, it instantly takes on the color of pork belly.

Stir-fry it a few times, then cover it with a lid and continue stewing.

Wait until the fat from the pork belly seeps into the abalone, then it will taste good.

With someone to help, Xu Yiyi can focus on other things.

She cooked the sea cucumbers she picked up in the morning and cut them into thin slices. She added some minced garlic and kelp shreds, mixed them with various seasonings, and finally added the chili oil she made.

A simple cold dish is ready.

"Aunt, the pork belly in the pot will only need to simmer for another quarter of an hour at most. Please watch over me while I do something else."

A Si aunt waved her hand.

Aunt Li frowned when she heard this in the yard.

"Your aunt has been cooking for many years. You don't need to tell her what to do."

Aunt Li leaned towards her aunt, and Yuanbao leaned beside her.

This kid couldn't play with Sihai, so after arriving at Xu's house, they only talked a few words and didn't talk much after that.

Xu Yiyi smiled when she heard Aunt Li's words, but didn't say anything.

Uncle Tainan's rough but warm hands gently touched Wu Yuan's forehead, making the child so comfortable that he almost closed his eyes.

"Asi has been cooking for many years, but her cooking is not as delicious as Yiyi's."

It's not that I dislike it. My uncle's grandmother and my aunt's aunt's cooking skills have been at a similar level over the years.

I feel that my cooking is not as good as Xu Yiyi’s.

Of course, I wouldn't do that in front of my children.

Sihai ran over to help his elder sister light the teppanyaki grill and poured a circle of pepper oil on the iron plate.

A crackling sound was heard, and Xu Yiyi placed the prepared wolf eel meat on it.

It is coated with egg liquid and a thin layer of flour.

Sour fruits were used during pickling.

As it is slowly fried, the aroma becomes more and more intense.

"Is this what Yi Yi bought at the stall?"

My uncle's grandmother stretched her neck to look. She seldom went out and only heard Xu Anyang talk about it when he came home.

Put various foods on the iron plate and fry them. The food is loved by many people.

Every day when Xu Anyang came back, she would listen to him talk about what delicious food Xu Yiyi had made at the stall.

I feel happy just listening to it.

My uncle's grandmother seemed very proud of the child, but Aunt Li was a little confused.
