In Li's room, Xie Xia and Li were sitting at the head of the bed talking. "Mother, why are my brothers-in-law and daughter-in-law at home today, didn't I say that only my sister-in-law should be left at home?"

"Don't worry, it's okay, my silly girl, how can your mother not be to you. You want the secret recipe at home, I just want to keep them at home and explain it to their faces. Lee smiled.

"The secret ingredient at home? Mother, are you talking about the recipe for cake and braised pork? I've never thought about it, and today I'd like to talk about something else. Xie Xia's heart instantly became warm, her mother actually thought of giving the secret recipe of the family to her daughter who married outside, with such a mother, she was really lucky in three lives.

"Sister Xia, what did you say? You don't want a secret recipe at home? Li was surprised, Sister Xia's life over the years, she saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart. I thought that the Chen family was also a solid family at the beginning, but who would have thought that the old woman of the Chen family would be unable to move all of a sudden, and could only lie on the bed and let others take care of it. What's more, after so many years, the old woman has been suffering from major and minor illnesses, but she has not died until now. The Chen family has been in a bad situation for so many years because of the drag of the old woman, and her daughter and grandson have also suffered because of this, and she is distressed to death.

"Mother, you also know that my family has a complex population, if you give me the secret recipe of the family, I dare to guarantee that the secret recipe will be spread in an instant." Xie Xia's face was gloomy, the poor family mourned everything, they all had no money to make trouble, and now their big family, because they would make a lot of noise because of a bite of food, if the group of people in the family got the secret recipe, they would definitely sell it.

Li Shi only reacted after being reminded by Xie Xia. Oh, yes! If she gave the secret recipe to her daughter, it would be equivalent to her daughter's husband's family knowing it, and then the secret recipe would naturally not be a secret recipe. She had just thought about helping her daughters, and she hadn't thought about it so much, originally she wanted to give the cake recipe to her two daughters so that they could also make some money, but it didn't seem to work.

"Hey, Sister Xia, in that case, the mother can only subsidize you with some silver. It's a pity, if you give you our family's secret recipe, your life won't need to be so hard. "Li is a little uncomfortable, their family life is good now, but her daughter is still suffering.

"Mother, other people's daughters are subsidizing their mother's family, I'm good, I want my mother's family to subsidize me, it's good if my mother doesn't dislike my daughter." There were already tears in the corners of Xie Xia's eyes.

"Eldest sister, mother, what are you still talking about? The meal is ready, come out and eat. Xie Ru suddenly pushed open the door and walked in.

"It's time to eat so soon, Sister Xia, don't think so much, let's go out to eat. We have bought a lot of good things today, so you can eat them with your belly open. Li suppressed the sadness in his heart, smiled and said. Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, how can you cry on this good day?

At the dinner table, Xie Yanqing's cousins were all vying for two new things, cake and braised pork. It was a harmonious atmosphere, but Xiao Li's sudden opening shattered all this. "Auntie, you sent a message to your mother that you want to discuss something with us, what is it?" Xiao Li's words instantly focused people's attention on Xie Xia's body.

In fact, Xiao Li was reluctant to open this mouth, but she was really afraid that Li would pass on their family's secret recipe, so she ......

"Second brother and daughter-in-law, since you have asked about it, then I won't be twisting. Actually, what I want to say has to do with stones. ”

Xie Xia paused, and then continued, "Big brother, I want your eldest nephew to be a scholar, do you think it's okay?" ”

Before Xie Dawei could reply, Xie Xia spoke to herself again. "Big brother, you see that Shi is going to study in the county school in February this year, he is only so young, let him leave his hometown to study alone, you don't worry about it."

"Besides, most scholars have a scholar by their side, and we shouldn't be compared to others."

After listening to Xie Xia's words, the Xie family was silent. Indeed, Xie Xia's words are very right, Shi needs a scholar to take care of him. However, Li Da, as Shishi's cousin, asked him to do the work of the next man?

Xie Xia looked at Xie Mancang and Xie Dawei's excited and hesitant looks, and she was very anxious, but she knew that Xie Yanqing was the hope of the Xie family, and the Xie family would definitely think about Xie Yanqing's matter, and she couldn't force it too hard.

"Sister Xia, you're right, Shi really needs a scholar. But Tatsuko is Shishi's cousin, so it's not good to let Tako be Shishi's scholar and do some work to serve people. Besides, Tatsuko will definitely have a lot of gossip when he goes to work as a stone clerk, can Tatsuko stand it? Xie Mancang still said it.

"Dad, big brother, don't worry, these are not problems. What's wrong with being a bookmaid? The stone will be a talented man in the future, and it is not a shame for Dazi to be a scholar for the stone. The reason why I asked Tatsuko to be a scholar for the stone was just that I hoped that he would have a good bite to eat by the stone's side, and of course, it would be great if he could learn some skills. ”

"Dad, big brother, you also know the situation in my family. Over the years, our family has continued to sell fields, and now there are only 20 acres of land left in the family, but we have to feed such a large family, and my mother-in-law needs a lot of expenses to see a doctor every year. As the saying goes, half the size eats the poor old man, and Dazi is now the time for them to grow their bodies, and the amount of food is amazing, but the food at home is not enough. Seeing that they can't eat enough every day, I feel distressed! Xie Xia said as she spoke, tears came out.

"Dad, you can help the eldest sister. Let Tatsuko be the scholar's servant of the stone, this is the best of both worlds. Xie Ru also helped to speak, and she felt very uncomfortable watching her sister endure hardships over the years.

"Okay, for the New Year, what to cry about." Chen Daming suddenly scolded, but his voice seemed to be a little choked.

Li's eyes widened when he heard Chen Daming's scolding, he didn't have the ability to let my daughter live a good life, and he dared to scold my daughter. Li just wanted to teach Chen Daming a lesson, but suddenly saw a flash of light in the corner of Chen Daming's eyes, so she died down in an instant.

"Okay, Sister Xia, it's not a big deal, I promise you, it's the New Year, don't cry, the dishes are cold." Xie Mancang made a decision.

"Daddy......" Xie Xia's eyes immediately lit up.

"Yes, auntie, there is Dazi to take care of our family's stones, I can't ask for it. Let's hurry up and eat, and try more of our braised pork, it's delicious. Chen smiled and said, she doesn't hate Li Da, the eldest nephew, and she doesn't dislike Li Da as a scholar.
