Chapter Twenty-Five: Wake Up Late
"Mother, why is the second uncle angry?"
The eldest girl looked at the back of Li Yumei leaving and couldn't help asking.
"It's nothing, the second uncle is just in a bad mood."
Song smiled and touched the eldest girl's head to explain, the eldest girl nodded, and then looked at the dumplings in the pot and swallowed her saliva.
"Little uncle, haven't you ever eaten the dumplings made by your grandmother, but they are delicious."
The eldest girl was idle, and seeing that the Song family was busy cooking dumplings, she ran directly to Ye Shu'er and sat down to talk to her.
On the chubby little face, a pair of eyes followed Song's movements up and down.
"Do you like to eat?"
Ye Shu'er looked funny, and while paying attention to the heat of the decoction, she chatted with the eldest girl, but she didn't feel bored.
"I like it, my favorite thing to eat is the dumplings made by my grandmother, which are fragrant."
The eldest girl and Ye Shu'er chatted, and Xue Zhi'an sat aside and listened, and interjected a sentence or two from time to time.
Soon, a large pot of dumplings was cooked, and Xue Zhi'an's medicine was just fried.
"Big girl, go and ask your dad to wipe the table, let's get ready to eat."
Song said as he put the dumplings into the basin, and the whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of dumplings.
"Sister-in-law, I'll help you."
Ye Shu'er took Xue Zhi'an's medicine out and warmed it, and then helped with the dishes and chopsticks and the dumplings.
When Zhang heard the voice, he also came to the kitchen to work, and soon the dumplings were on the table, and the family sat neatly at the table.
"Mother, do we still have wine at home?"
"Yes, but only for one drink."
Perhaps because he was happy, Zhang listened to Xue Laoer's words, and immediately went back to the room to take out the wine that he had been reluctant to drink, and poured a glass for Xue Laoer and Xue Laoer.
"Mother, these dumplings are so fresh and delicious."
Boss Xue took a bite and said vaguely while eating.
"You eat slowly, don't choke, no one is robbing you, there are a lot of bags today, it's enough."
Zhang smiled helplessly, and then turned his head to Ye Shu'er, who was eating dumplings in small bites, and said, "Shu'er, is it delicious?" ”
"Mother, it's delicious, it's the first time I've eaten such delicious dumplings." Ye Shu'er's eyes were bright, and she nodded straight after eating.
Ye Shuer's words made Zhang's very happy, and Li Yumei felt uncomfortable when she saw it, but for the sake of the dumplings, she didn't say anything.
After eating a meal, the Xue family had a round stomach, and they ate all the dumplings in a big pot, especially Xue Laoer, if it wasn't for the fact that his stomach really couldn't fit it, he could eat as much as he could.
"Mother, I'll wash the dishes."
After dinner, Zhang rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen, Ye Shuer hurriedly followed in when she saw this, and directly picked up the dishcloth.
"I didn't help making dumplings today, you hurry up and rest, leave it to me here."
Zhang didn't want Ye Shu'er to do it, but he was very relieved to see her insistence.
"Then it's hard for you, Shu'er."
Zhang left the kitchen after speaking.
In the evening, Ye Shu'er came out of the kitchen and directly brought Xue Zhi'an's medicine back to the room.
"Zhi'an, come here, it's time to drink medicine."
"Daughter-in-law, I don't want to drink it now, can I drink it later?"
When Xue Zhi'an smelled the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, he immediately frowned, his face full of resistance.
"No, it'll be cold after a while, don't be afraid, it's not bitter, I'll get this for you."
Ye Shu'er said as if she was playing a trick, and there were a few candied fruits in her palm, Xue Zhi'an immediately lit up his eyes when he saw this, picked up one and put it in his mouth.
"Daughter-in-law, it's sweet and sour, it's delicious."
Xue Zhi'an wanted to take it again as he spoke, but Ye Shu'er directly retracted her hand.
"Zhi'an, I'll give you the medicine after drinking it first."
Seeing this, Xue Zhi'an hesitated for a moment, then frowned and poured a bowl of black decoction into his stomach.
"It's so bitter, daughter-in-law, you lied to me...... Not. ”
Xue Zhi'an was a little unhappy, and before he finished speaking, Ye Shu'er directly stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth.
"It's not bitter now, is it? I didn't lie to you? ”
Ye Shu'er smiled helplessly.
"It's not bitter, it's not bitter, daughter-in-law, I still want one."
Xue Zhi'an's brows stretched out, shaking Ye Shu'er's arm, Ye Shu'er spread out her hand and gave Xue Zhi'an the rest of the candied fruit.
As soon as Xue Zhi'an took it in his hand, he stuffed it into Ye Shu'er's mouth, the sweet and sour taste bloomed in his mouth, and Ye Shu'er also had a smile in her eyes.
"Daughter-in-law, where did this candied fruit come from?"
"It's a secret, you have to take the medicine well, and I'll tell you."
Ye Shu'er knew that Xue Zhi'an was afraid of hardship, so when she was in the town, she directly bought some candied fruit and came back.
"Then I must take medicine well and listen to my daughter-in-law."
Ye Shu'er nodded, took out the embroidery to prepare for embroidery, and this time suddenly remembered that there was one less picture she showed to the shopkeeper during the day.
"Zhi'an, have you ever seen the picture I drawn?"
Ye Shu'er searched for a long time and didn't find the picture, but she couldn't figure out where it could fall if she thought about it carefully.
"No, daughter-in-law, can't you find your picture, where did you put it, I'll help you find it."
Xue Zhi'an's words made Ye Shu'er cry and laugh, if she knew that she still needed to look for it?
"It's okay, I'll draw another one."
Ye Shuer took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and drew a new picture according to the appearance in her memory, and then embroidered the appearance on the handkerchief, and it was already midnight when the embroidery was finished.
Ye Shu'er yawned, and saw that Xue Zhi'an was already asleep, so she hurriedly cleaned up and quickly fell asleep, and fell asleep unconsciously.
The next day, when Ye Shu'er opened her eyes, it was almost noon, she looked at the sky outside, and immediately frowned, she must have slept too late last night, so she was like this.
"Yo, get up, Miss, if you don't get up again, my mother will probably have to go to your bedside with food to feed you."
Li Yumei saw that Ye Shu'er was really sarcastic again, just in time for Zhang's not at home at this time, so she was even more unscrupulous.
"Second sister-in-law, I slept late last night, so ......"
"Don't don't, what are you explaining to me, I don't blame you, I dare to blame your mother for not scolding me?"
Ye Shu'er wanted to explain, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Li Yumei.
"Daughter-in-law, you're up, my mother is warming breakfast for you in the kitchen, go and eat."
Xue Zhi'an hurriedly ran out of the kitchen when he heard the voice, pulled Ye Shu'er and left.
Li Yumei originally wanted to say something, but when she saw this, she was an old elder with a drooping face.
"Zhi'an, why don't you wake me up in the morning?"
After entering the kitchen, Ye Shuer breathed a sigh of relief.
"Daughter-in-law, I see that you are sleeping soundly, so I want you to sleep a little longer, but my mother also said that you are too tired, let you sleep more."
Xue Zhi'an explained innocently, Ye Shu'er didn't blame him, but even more blamed herself after hearing it.
