When noon was approaching, the cattle dealer sent Xiang Shengnan: "Go and call your father over to have dinner with you. Tell him that your father-in-law is here and ask him to come over and have a drink."

Xiang Shengnan responded and hurried to the old house.

Xiaohua came out of the house and looked towards the kitchen.

"What's the matter with Hua'er?" Yang Huazhong asked immediately.

Xiao Hua said truthfully: "It's almost noon, Duo'er must be hungry too, I'll see if there's anything to eat."

Yang Huazhong realized that the number of meals this mother ate was different from that of normal people. She ate small meals frequently, once in the morning when she got up, once in the middle of the day, again at noon, once at sunset, and then at night.

Eat again before going to bed.

Of course, this is what people who have the means to eat do nowadays, and people who don’t have enough to eat naturally can’t afford it.

But my family definitely belongs to a qualified family now. When my daughter was raised in her parents' family, she never had any shortage of food and clothing. How could she suffer the hardship after marrying into her husband's family?

Therefore, Yang Huazhong immediately said to the cattle dealer: "Brother Xiang, Duo'er is in confinement and consumes a lot of money. He can't go to the kitchen to eat. You have to prepare more for food and drink. Although the cost is higher than usual."

It needs to be bigger, but people are the most important thing, don’t you think?”

The cattle dealer's face fell, "Third brother, you are making a fool of yourself by saying this. Although my family's conditions are not as good as yours, my family can still afford food and drink for my daughter-in-law."

"Just wait, I'm going to hurry up Mr. and Mrs. Sheng. Usually we have food delivered at this hour. Why are you so slow today? It's really outrageous!"

The cattle dealer entered the kitchen, and the smoke and fire made the man and his wife as busy as spinning tops.

"Duo'er is hungry. Is her food ready?" the cattle dealer asked.

Miss Sheng raised her head from the smoke and said, "Brother, the chicken soup for Duo'er is almost ready. I will send it to her right away. The in-laws are here today, so I have to prepare a few more dishes than usual, so I am delayed.

Yes, I will go and apologize to my in-laws in person later..."

Mr. and Mrs. Sheng said so, and there were also a row of dishes and bowls placed on the pot table. They really put a lot of thought into preparing the dishes.

So the cattle dealer didn't know what to say, so he urged him again and left.

Soon, Miss Sheng came to Duo'er's house with a large bowl of chicken soup.

"Sorry, mother-in-law, I was delayed..."

Put the chicken soup in front of Duo'er. The soup from the old hen of several years has simmered into a light yellow color. There is no need to add additional oil at all. There is oil in the meat itself.

At this moment, circles of oily flowers glowed golden on the fragrant chicken soup, a few green onions were sprinkled on it, and the whole room was enveloped in the aroma of the chicken soup.

Xiaohua took a look at the chicken in the soup. Well, each piece was very solid. The chicken leg hadn't been chopped yet, it was a whole chicken leg.

Xiaohua and Sun secretly exchanged glances, both of them were very satisfied with the food.

Xiaoduo was also very hungry, so she immediately picked up the chicken soup and took a sip.

After drinking this, she couldn't help but frown.

"What's up, Duo'er? Doesn't it taste good?" Mr. Sheng's wife quickly came over and asked.

Xiaoduo had a bitter look on her face: "Mother-in-law, this soup is too salty. It makes you uncomfortable to drink it."

"What? It's too salty? Let me try it."

Ms. Sheng took a sip and smacked it in her mouth, "It's not salty. My mother-in-law, please try it."

The chicken soup was pushed to Sun's mouth again, and Sun took a small sip and said, "I have a strong taste, so I can drink this chicken soup with no problem, but Duo'er is a pregnant woman, and it's better for the baby if the mother eats a light diet."

Sheng's wife looked annoyed: "Look at me, I'm really clumsy. I originally thought that the chicken soup would be a little salty, so the chicken would be more flavorful, but I didn't expect it to be too salty. What should I do now?"

"How about I exchange it for some water and dilute it with it? Duo'er, can you force yourself to take a few more sips?" Miss Sheng asked again.

Xiaoduo shook her head decisively and exchanged it for boiled water for chicken soup. She had no appetite just thinking about it.

"I won't drink anymore. You can drink. I'll eat later." Xiaoduo said, turning away, not wanting to talk to Li Sheng and his wife.

Miss Sheng stood beside the bed, her hands hanging down, looking at a loss, with annoyance in her eyes and brows.

Sun said: "Don't be upset. Just be more careful next time when you make soup. If it doesn't work, I'll make it."

"No, no, no, how can I overwork you, my mother-in-law? You just need to accompany Duo'er and her daughter. Duo'er has just given birth, and she needs experienced and caring elders to accompany her the most. You are her mother, so you can

The most important thing is to have her with you, and let me, a simpleton, do the rest of the work."

After saying this, Mr. Sheng and his wife ran away in a gust of wind, leaving the three of them in the room, Mrs. Sun, looking at each other.

Mrs. Sun said: "Your mother-in-law speaks nicely and admits her mistakes promptly. But I don't know whether she will be careful or not next time."

Xiaoduo smiled bitterly, "I heard Shengnan say that she has been so sloppy in cooking all her life, and nothing is tidy."

"In the past, Katsuo had never eaten other people's food, and he didn't feel anything. Later, when he became our son-in-law, he realized that the food could be so well-cooked and delicious. He said he planned to learn how to cook some simple dishes from his mother.

You can cook the food for me later, so you don’t have to hang around in front of my eyes."

Speaking of Xiang Shengnan, Xiaoduo's eyes and eyebrows are all gentle.

Sun and Xiaohua looked at each other and both smiled.

Soon, lunch was put on the table and Katsunan’s father came over.

The cattle dealer and Shengnan's father warmly welcomed Yang Huazhong to drink, while Shengnan's wife was busy picking up food for Sun.

The table is filled with fish, meat and chicken.

The chicken is naturally the old hen that was cooked at noon. It is not suitable for eating, but it is suitable for others.

Xiang Shengnan gave Xiao Duo a bowl of rice, two pieces of fish, some eggs and vegetables and brought them into the house.

When she heard that her mother-in-law had prepared a large table full of dishes to entertain her family, the previous unhappiness in Xiaoduo's heart immediately disappeared.

After lunch, Yang Huazhong and the others returned to Changping Village and made an appointment to come over to give gifts when they took nine baths.

The next day, Miss Sheng came to Xiao Duo's house and said, "Duo'er, the chicken soup yesterday was too salty. Today I killed a chicken just for you. This chicken soup should be much lighter. You can drink it and see."

Xiaoduo took a sip of the chicken soup. The chicken soup was bland and had a slight fishy taste.

"It's not as fragrant as yesterday..." Xiaoduo said.

There isn't much meat in the soup, just a few pieces, and what's left is chicken offal.

Miss Sheng smiled and said: "You have such a sensitive tongue. I raised this chicken today. It is not old enough and is thin and small. The taste is naturally not as good as that of yesterday's old hen. However, it is still nourishing to the body."

Yes, just drink it reluctantly, even if it’s for the sake of the child.”

Xiaoduo thought about it and felt that it was the same. In order for her children to be fed, she really couldn't choose.

So I held my nose and drank it all, and also gnawed all the few pieces of chicken.
