Xu Wencheng came back after a while, and Xu Liangping from his uncle's family came with him.

Xu Liangping looked at Song Yuntang.

"Cousin, are you looking for a waiter in your shop?"

Song Yuntang nodded. "Do you want to give it a try? If you do, you can come with us after we have breakfast. If you don't want to go, I'll find someone else. You don't have to force yourself. Just tell me what you really think."

She looked kind and didn't want Xu Liangping to think she was forcing him.

Without thinking, Xu Liangping nodded and said, "I'm willing to give it a try, but I'm not familiar with the things there in the early stages. If there's anything I don't do well, I hope my cousin's wife won't mind."

Song Yuntang smiled and said, "No one can do this kind of thing from the beginning. I will ask the people in the shop to teach you more. You must study hard when the time comes. If you still can't learn it after a long time, I will still consider whether you can stay or leave."

Xu Liangping scratched his head in confusion.

"If that's the case, I wouldn't even be able to stay in my cousin's shop."

Song Yuntang added, "The shop closes after the twilight hour, so you need to be there before the si hour in the morning. I won't be going to town every day from now on. If Liangping finds it inconvenient to go back and forth, he can stay at my farm. However, the accommodation conditions may not be very good in the early stages."

Xu Liangping waved his hands hurriedly, "As long as there's a place to sleep, I'm not picky."

Jiang poked her head out of the kitchen again, "Has Liangping had breakfast? Our meal is almost ready. If you haven't, we can eat together and go."

"No need, auntie. I still have to go back and tell my parents to pack my luggage and go to town with my cousin and his wife. I'll be back first."

Xu Liangping said this, said something to Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang, and then trotted back home.

Jiang put out the fire in the stove and served breakfast on the table.

There was rice porridge, and a few egg pancakes made with eggs and white flour. She and Xu Yongwang had one each, and the children had two each. The egg pancakes were fragrant, smelled great, and tasted even better.

Xu Wencheng took a bite and gave Jiang a thumbs-up. "Mom, your cooking skills have improved."

Jiang glanced at him with a smile.

"Stinky boy, how can white flour and eggs not taste good?"

Xu Wencheng chuckled, "Anyway, I think what my mother makes is especially delicious."

Jiang was helpless, her tone full of doting.

"You're the only one with a poor mouth!"

After Xu Wencheng finished his two pancakes, he still looked unsatisfied. He stared at the last pancake on the table, then lowered his head to drink the little porridge left in the bowl.

Seeing that her son looked hungry, Jiang picked up the bowl in front of him and said, "The last cake is from your sister-in-law. Don't worry about it. I'll go get you the remaining half bowl of porridge in the pot."

Song Yuntang drank a bowl of porridge and ate an egg pancake. She was actually full. She was thinking about how to deal with the last pancake. Seeing Xu Wencheng wanted to eat, she hurriedly said, "Wencheng, eat if you want. I'm full."

It's normal for a growing child to eat a lot. Since I met him, he has grown quite fast.

He was only a head taller than her before, but now he is half a head taller than her.

Judging from the situation, it should still be able to grow.

She would probably end up like his brother. Xu Qingye was a whole head taller than her. When she stood in front of him, she could only reach his chin.

Xu Wencheng hesitated, "Sister-in-law, are you really full?"

Song Yuntang smiled.

"I'm really full, you can eat."

"Then I won't be polite." After saying this, Xu Wencheng excitedly picked up the last piece of cake and started to eat it.

Xu Yongwang watched from the side and felt very embarrassed.

I have never seen such a shameless child who would not even let go of a bite of his sister-in-law's food.

When Xu Wencheng picked up the pancake and started to eat it swiftly, Jiang came into the main room with his bowl of porridge. When she saw this scene, her blood rushed up.

"Wencheng, that's your sister-in-law's cake. Didn't I tell you not to think about it? Why did you eat it?"

Xu Wencheng said as he ate, "My sister-in-law said she was full."

Song Yuntang also said, "Mom, I'm really full. It's good that Wencheng helps me eat it so that there won't be any waste."

Jiang looked at her heartless son and shook her head helplessly.

"Only your sister-in-law is easy to talk to."

Instead of changing to a stronger one, I'm afraid there will be a big fight just to protect the food.

Xu Wencheng raised his hand in agreement.

"That's right, sister-in-law is the best."

After dinner, Xu Qingye led the mule out and harnessed it to the mule cart. Seeing this, Xu Yongwang loaded the two large baskets of fruits he had picked from the mountains yesterday onto the mule cart.

"Since the girl's shop can use them, you can take these two baskets of fruit. Dad will go to the mountains to pick some more later."

One basket contained persimmons, another contained cracked wild dates, and wild pears with brown skin and spots. The wild pears were small and a bit sour when eaten raw, but they tasted great after being cooked, and were perfect for making pear soup or steamed pears.

Song Yuntang had noticed several wounds on Xu Yongwang's hands while eating before, and when he saw Ye Lizi, he understood.

Wild pear trees can usually grow to more than ten meters, and there are sharp thorns on the branches. If you are not careful when picking pears, you will be scratched by those sharp thorns. The wound on his hand was probably left by picking wild pears yesterday.

She returned to her room, took out a bottle of medicine from the medicine box and handed it to Xu Yongwang.

"Dad, don't go to the mountains today. Just rest at home."

Xu Yongwang looked at the ointment in his hand, was slightly stunned, and then declined, "These cuts on my hands will heal in two days. Why do I need such a good thing?"

Otherwise, why do people say that raising a daughter is caring?

His son didn't notice the cuts on his hands, but his daughter-in-law saw them.

Song Yuntang pushed the thing back.

"Dad, take these and use them. Don't go to the mountains today. Of the three baskets of persimmons I brought to the shop yesterday, only two are left. Although I didn't spend any money on them, I did put in the effort to pick them. If I pick too many later and they go bad, it won't be worth it."

Seeing his daughter-in-law being so thoughtful, Xu Yongwang felt sweeter than eating honey.

"Okay, listen to the girl."

Seeing the children getting on the mule cart, Xu Yongwang looked eagerly in the direction of the mule cart and waved his hand, saying, "Be careful on the road. Come back early in the evening, don't be so late."

"I know dad."

The mule cart turned a corner and went to his uncle's house to pick up Xu Liangping.

Jiang came to the gate of the courtyard and glanced at the box of ointment that Xu Yongwang was holding tightly in his hand.

"The mule cart left, and your soul left with it?"

Xu Yongwang came back to his senses, his face full of pride, "Before, Gousheng always boasted to me about how caring his daughter was. But no matter how caring she was, she's still married. How can his daughter-in-law compare to ours?"

Jiang found it funny. She took a large broom from the gate and began to sweep the yard. "You men are all bored. Every day you're comparing this family's daughter-in-law or that family's daughter-in-law or son. They're all your own children. Does it have nothing to do with you if they're not as good as others?"

Xu Yongwang ignored her and walked to the recliner and was about to sit down to apply the medicine, but before his butt touched the ground, he stood up again.

"No, I have to go to Gousheng's house first." He glanced in Jiang's direction, "Take a break after you finish sweeping the yard. I'll make lunch when I get back."

Xu Yongwang was very fast and he was out of the yard as soon as he finished speaking. Jiang followed him to the door.

"It's still early. Remember not to drink outside. If you smell something, I'll complain to my daughter-in-law."

Xu Yongwang, who was walking forward, was stunned and waved his hands helplessly.

"understood."
