Chapter Fifty-Eight: That's the Big Brother's Wife
Qi Lele was startled by Xie Zi'an, who suddenly rushed in, and almost threw the pot in his hand: "What's wrong?"
His eyes quickly swept around Qi Lele, and Xie Zi'an said, "It's okay, let's see what you make delicious."
Qi Lele did not doubt him: "It's almost good."
Xie Zi'an saw her holding the pot back and forth, and walked over and stretched out his hand: "I'll come."
Qi Lele is indeed a little struggling, and the big iron pot is too heavy: "Just shake it from side to side, and wait for the sound inside to be gone."
Xie Zi'an shook his head, shaking the big iron pot like her, listening to the crackling sound inside, and his panicked heart gradually calmed down.
Qi Lele was not idle, took a spoonful of sugar into a small iron pot, added some water, and began to stir until it became a syrup.
There was no movement in the big iron pot over there, and Qi Lele said, "Okay."
When the lid of the pot was lifted, there were white and chubby things inside, which Xie Zi'an had never seen before: "What is this?"
"Popcorn, popped with corn kernels."...
Qi Lele said, pouring the popcorn into the syrup and stir-frying until the syrup was all on the popcorn.
"Taste it."
Looking at the popcorn held up in front of him, Xie Ziyan lowered his head slightly, took a mouthful, and swept the tip of his tongue over Qi Lele's fingertips.
Qi Lele didn't expect him to take it directly, as if he had been burned, he suddenly retracted his hand behind him, and subconsciously twisted it.
Xie Zi'an looked innocent: "This taste is novel."
Qi Lele lowered his head and said, "It's delicious, isn't it? But you can't eat too much."
As he spoke, he divided the popcorn into several plates and prepared to serve them out.
Xie Zi'an looked at her back as she fled in a hurry, and gently pursed the tip of her tongue, revealing a light smile.
After a while, Xie Sixian's cheerful voice came from the courtyard: "Sister-in-law! This one is really delicious!"
Mo said that it was a few small ones, but Su Yaxian, who had never been very greedy, couldn't help but eat one after another: "Le'er is really skillful."
Qi Lele said modestly: "This is really simple, and I also see it from others."
Half a pot of popcorn seemed to be a lot, but it didn't taste enough at all, and it didn't take long for several people to finish eating separately, and they looked at Qi Lele in unison, their eyes full of expectation.
Qi Lele could resist it, and was about to nod his head, but Xie Zi'an held his shoulder: "It's not early, it's time to go to the ancestral hall."
That's right! I have to learn how to raise silkworms!
Seeing the two leave, a few faint sighs sounded in the courtyard.
"Why don't I think my eldest brother doesn't want my sister-in-law to make us popcorn? Am I being overly careful?"
Xie Ziwen said weakly: "No, second brother, I think so too."
Xie Sixian sighed loudly: "Who let my sister-in-law be the wife of the eldest brother! Second brother and third brother, you should also hurry up and find a good wife like your sister-in-law! Then you don't have to envy your big brother!"
Xie Ziyan and Xie Ziwen glanced at her silently, she was still young, she was really naïve!
Su Yaxian said unhurriedly, "Xianxian is reasonable."
Xie Ziyan's back was cold, and he hurriedly got up and said, "Mother, I'll go practice first!"
Seeing this, Xie Ziwen also hurriedly followed.
Xie Sixian looked left and right, although she didn't know why, she instinctively felt that she couldn't be alone with her father, so she made an excuse and slipped away.
Xie Dai looked at the last popcorn in his hand with interest: "Interesting."
Su Yaxian said, "Then you should be kind to her, and look at the child who is scared by you."
"What? Aren't you afraid you'll blame her?"
Su Yaxian glanced at him with disgust.
Out of the door, Qi Lele said, "Actually, it won't take long to make a pot of popcorn."
"I'm not used to them."
"What is that used to you?"
Xie Zi'an raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise?"
Qi Lele tilted his head: "It's beautiful!"
Xie Zi'an chuckled silently.
After walking for a while, Qi Lele couldn't help muttering, "Why does our family live in such a remote area?"
Except for Uncle Wang's family, there are no neighbors around, and the closest one has to walk half a cup of tea, which is in case there is nothing to shout at.
Xie Zi'an said: "When I first built the house, I bought more land."
Qi Lele: "......"
"You're saying that the empty land around here belongs to our family?"
Xie Zi'an bowed: "Yes."
Qi Lele couldn't help but support his forehead.
Seeing this, Xie Zi'an asked, "What?"
"I have an idea."
"What?"
"It's a pity that so much land is empty, chickens, ducks, cows and pigs are raised, and besides, get some bio-fertilizer."
Xie Zi looked at her quietly.
"No?"
"I'm afraid not." Xie Zi'an regretted slightly: "The taste is too strong."
Qi Lele thought about it, and also felt that it was inappropriate, thinking that Xie Dai and Su Yaxian, looking like people who drank dew to live, really couldn't imagine what they looked like with chickens and ducks.
"Then it's better to plant some fruits and vegetables than to just leave them out of nowhere."
This time, Xie Zi'an did not refuse.
"In addition, if you want to raise silkworms, you have to have a separate place, is there a suitable vacant room at home?"
"There is no vacant room at home, there were many empty rooms in Uncle Wang's courtyard originally, but now I am afraid that it will be gone."
"What then?"
This is a problem, in the first year of this year, silkworm seeds don't need money, Qi Lele still wants to try.
Xie Zi'an said: "Listening to Lizheng's meaning, it will take more than ten days for the silkworm seed to arrive, so it is better to start a house now, and it will be too late."
Qi Lele looked at the sky speechlessly, this person really bought land and built a house without saying a word!
"Right now, every family is busy with spring sowing, who are you looking for to build you a house?"
Xie Zi'an said: "There are people who build houses in the city in all seasons."
"How much silver do you need?"
"It's fine."
Qi Lele said angrily, "Can you count the silver in your pocket before you speak?"
Xie Zi'an smiled: "Sooner or later, this house will have to be built, in addition to raising silkworms, the two families must also have a place to live, and they can't be kept crowded in Uncle Wang's yard, right?"
That's true, but to build a big house, you can't say dozens of taels or even hundreds of taels bigger?
In the end, Qi Lele sighed faintly: "Okay, let's get up!"
While talking, he was about to arrive at the ancestral hall, and many people around him were also walking this way, and when they saw the two of them, they all turned their heads, as if they hadn't seen it, and occasionally someone opened their mouths to say hello and went to Xie Zi'an.
Qi Lele knew that he was famous, but he didn't care.
When they arrived outside the ancestral hall, there were already a lot of people waiting there, and the Liu family saw them from a distance, pulled the Chen family beside him, and waved at Qi Lele: "Siya, this way."
Qi Lele walked over: "Mother, auntie."
Liu smiled, "Are you also going to raise silkworms?"
"I bought a few acres of mulberry forest and wanted to try it."
Goodbye Qi Lele, Chen's heart is quite complicated, the things that Wang Rongrong did under her nose really made her a little faceless to face this girl.
Fortunately, Qi Lele didn't seem to care, and was willing to come over to get close to her, which made Chen's heart feel a lot more comfortable, and she said, "It's okay to try, and you can stand inside with me later."
Qi Lele obediently agreed, and said, "When I sent Lan Qiu and them to the city yesterday, I met my sister-in-law."
Chen secretly scolded and said, "Your sister-in-law has done a lot of bastard things before, and we only found out a few days ago that we have driven her back to her parents' house."
"I saw her come out of the infirmary yesterday."
Chen frowned, "What's going on?"
"I asked, but she scolded me back, so I didn't dare to ask again."
Chen remembered Wang Rongrong's front
Zi always shouted that his stomach hurt and he didn't get better after drinking fetal pills, could it be that there was something wrong with the child?
On second thought, even if something really went wrong, it was her own doing!
But in the end, it is also the first grandchild of their old Qi family, if there is really something, I am afraid it is not good.
In the end, Chan only said, "It's all her own sin!"
After seeing Chen's reaction, Qi Lele stopped mentioning this stubble.
"I heard you bought land? Are you planning to make a home here?"
Qi Lele turned his head to look at Xie Zi'an, and then said, "It should be planned to stay for a long time."
Chen smiled, "Well, there will be a response to everything in the future."
Qi Lele smiled and didn't pick up.
At this time, Li Zheng came out and ordered some people to enter the ancestral hall, and there were indeed Chen and Liu, who were the first to propose to raise silkworms with Li Zheng.
Qi Lele was caught between Chen and Liu and brought in together, and no one dared to say anything.
When these people entered, some people couldn't help but sigh: "Why is Siya!"
"Why didn't you just say it?"
"That's a sinister star! How dare I!"
"Then you be quiet, the Xie family kid is still there! You are not afraid that he will listen."
