Three days later, Yu Jiayan and others rushed back to Fuxing County from Fucheng.

They came back by mule cart together, and when they arrived outside the gate of Ming's house, Yu Jiayan first greeted Old Man Ming and others one by one, and exchanged pleasantries slightly, and then returned to his house with Mingyue, who came in a hurry.

Mingyue had already asked Vanilla to go to the kitchen to boil water before she went out, and while Yu Jiayan went to the clean room to wash, she personally cooked four side dishes for Yu Jiayan.

The winter solstice has been helping her, and when Mingyue cooks, she helps wash rice and cook porridge, wash vegetables and cut vegetables.

By the time Yu Jiayan came out of the clean room, Mingyue had already taken the winter solstice to send four side dishes, a porcelain pot of mushroom and chicken stuffed buns, and two large bowls of white rice porridge to the main landlord's house in the courtyard of the Yu family.

The four side dishes are braised chicken wings, scrambled eggs with zucchini, stewed frozen tofu with sauerkraut vermicelli, and cold spinach and peanuts.

"So rich!" Yu Jiayan felt that it seemed that it took less than two quarters of an hour for him to wash and change clothes, and in just two quarters of an hour, Mingyue actually made him four home-cooked side dishes, which made Yu Jiayan have a new understanding of Mingyue's cooking skills again.

Mingyue smiled and took a cloth towel to help him wipe his hair, "I specially picked up the dishes that saved trouble, you first put them on your stomach, and I will serve you with good soup and water in the evening." ”

Yu Jiayan shook her hand, "What about our brother An?" Are you asleep? ”

Mingyue nodded, "I asked Liu San's sister-in-law to take him to the East Chamber, I'm afraid it will take another half an hour to wake up." ”

Yu Jiayan took the cloth towel and wiped his hair a few times, "I'll go over and take a look at him first." ”

Mingyue knew that Yu Jiayan was thinking about her child, and she could see that if she hadn't been afraid of too much dust on her body just now, Yu Jiayan would have already gone to see the child as soon as possible.

She herself loved her and Yu Jiayan's baby son very much, so she didn't stop Yu Jiayan from going out.

Helping him comb his hair, Mingyue pushed him to the wing room to see his son, "Go and come back quickly." ”

Yu Jiayan went to the wing room with a smile, and after the silent salute of the Liu San family, he carefully looked at his son with his focused and eager eyes.

As soon as he returned to the main landlord's house, he still took care of eating, so he first talked to Mingyue about Brother An, who was like a little pink dumpling, "I look like I've grown up, and my little arms and legs are chubby, like lotus roots." ”

Seeing the smile on his face, Mingyue couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, "Let's eat first, you want to see him for as long as you want to finish eating." ”

Yu Jiayan pulled her to sit beside her, "You shouldn't have eaten at this point, right?" Come and have some food with me. ”

Mingyue smiled and sat down beside him, "I've taken my own set of dishes and chopsticks, and I'm definitely going to eat with you." ”

Yu Jiayan smiled and sandwiched a bun for her, "Then eat it while it's hot, and then sleep with me for a while after eating." ”

Mingyue glanced at him and did not object, and the smile on Yu Jiayan's face suddenly became brighter.

***

"Are Saburo and Goro alright?" After the indescribable lunch break ended, Mingyue asked about San Lang and Goro who had fallen off the list in Yu Jiayan's arms.

"It's all right. Being depressed is inevitable, but with our father, me, and my brothers here, we certainly won't just watch them hang their heads. ”

Mingyue felt a little relieved when she heard this, "I hope the third brother and sister can see it a little, and don't lose your temper with her just because the third brother is not on the list." ”

Yu Jiayan patted her on the back, "Probably not, I stole it just now, and found that the third brother and sister didn't show their faces to the third brother from beginning to end." ”

"Surely she won't in front of everyone." Mingyue felt that Yu Jiayan really didn't understand Qi Su'e, a little daughter-in-law with a two-layer mother-in-law on her head, she sighed faintly, "I'm afraid that she will complain behind her back that the third brother failed to win." ”

"Probably not, right? After all, no one in their Qi family was lifted this time. To put it mildly, one or two of her own brothers have all failed to make the list, so what qualifications does she have to jump out and complain that the third brother failed to win? ”

Mingyue got up with a bone, "Isn't it that you are compared with the eldest brother and the second brother, the four of you, as well as Gu Zhixian's nephew, the five of you listened to the teachings in Gu Zhixian together, but the four of you were all hit, and the third brother failed to win, she was just unhappy, and it was understandable." ”

Yu Jiayan took her hand and refused to let go, "Then if I don't win, will you blame me or comfort me?" ”

Without waiting for Mingyue to speak, he continued, "You will definitely comfort me." ”

Mingyue snorted, "If I complain about you, then I will add to your misery and salt your wounds." ”

"Isn't that it? You can take care of me, can the third brother and sister still be wronged by the third brother? As far as I know, they have a good relationship. I guess you should have also discovered that the third brother has become a relative since he was beaten, and he is simply having a silly time all day long. ”

Mingyue burst out laughing.

Not to mention, San Lang has indeed been smiling all day long since he became a parent, and that happiness and joy from the heart are not difficult to find as long as he is not blind.

"I'm not worried that the third brother and sister are young and love face!" Mingyue pulled Yu Jiayan to sit up, "No, I still have to go to the Ming family to take a look to rest assured." ”

Yu Jiayan looked helpless, "Then why don't I let Ping'an go and talk to our grandmother, and say that we will go to Ming's house for dinner in the evening?" ”

"Done." While dressing and putting on shoes, Mingyue didn't forget to quickly think about what to do next, "Then you can reward Changping (Yu Jiayan's original little guy is safe, because it overlaps with Brother An'er's name, so he changed his name to Changping) two small silver bills, one rewards him for serving you for the exam, and the other makes him happy." ”

Yu Jiayan had no opinion, Mingyue took two small silver bills to him, and when he went to the front yard, he rewarded Changping, who had returned to his job.

"Master, the old hen slave and maid have been killed, do you think you should stew it in a crockpot now?" After Yu Jiayan left, the winter solstice finally caught the opportunity to meet the bright moon.

Mingyue then remembered that she had ordered the winter solstice to kill chickens and fish.

She thought for a moment, "The chicken soup can be stewed first, and nothing else needs to be prepared." In the evening, Jiayan and I will go to Ming's house for dinner, and you and Ping'an can go with us. As for the dinner of Liu San's sister-in-law and their family, you let Vanilla watch and prepare it by herself. ”

Mingyue said that she would let the vanilla watch and prepare it by herself, but in fact, the only thing that the vanilla could decide was which meat and which vegetable in their share was which meat and which vegetarian.

For example, she can make a braised pork and potatoes, a chicken stew with mushrooms or an eggplant stew with river fish, but she can't prepare more than two meat dishes for herself and her parents at the same time.

As for the staple food, she can eat sorghum rice, mixed noodles, steamed buns, and corn noodles, but she can't just take polished rice and fine noodles to cook.

This is before Mingyue got married, after comprehensively referring to the standards of five or six wealthy households in the county such as the Wu family, the Jiang family, and the old doctor Qi's family, and combined with the actual situation of their own families, the food standards formulated for the people under the county belong to the upper middle level.

After she married Yu Jiayan, the standards of the Ming family were brought to the Yu family by her to continue to be used.
