Chapter 7.2

Xiao JiaYue brought the machete to the central room and put it away. He rushed into the kitchen quickly, watching Chi YunChen eat radish pancakes while standing at the kitchen stove. He swallowed his saliva firmly. He couldn’t help but smack his mouth as Chi YunChen chewed.

Seeing Xiao JiaYue’s gluttonous appearance, Su Man-er smiled. She took a small bowl out of the cupboard, picked up three pancakes from the large bowl, and put them into the small bowl.

She handed the small bowl to Xiao JiaYue and touched his head. “Eat it,” she said.

Xiao JiaYue immediately grinned and his eyes narrowed into slits.

Holding the bowl, he said to Su Man-er with a smile, “Thank you, Third Aunt. Third Aunt is the best.”

Su Man-er was amused by his words, becoming happier. This kid, he was easy to bribe. A few pancakes already bribed him.

Grandma Chi took a look at Xiao JiaYue and said to Su Man-er: “Man-er, you don’t have to put up with him too much. If you put up with him too much, he will form a bad habit.”

Su Man-er’s eyes fell on JiaYue’s thin body: “He is still small. I can put up with him occasionally.” This child really was too thin. She really wanted to pity him.

Listening to Su Man-er’s words, and then looking at Su Man-er’s pitying eyes for Xiao JiaYue, Chi YunChen’s eyes moved slightly, and a trace of strange emotions flashed in his eyes.

There was a steamer on the stove. The steamer was steaming something.

Su Man-er reached out and picked up the lid. As soon as the lid was opened, a sweet smell came out of it.

Smelling the fragrance, several people in the kitchen swallowed their saliva uncontrollably.

Chi YunChen looked into the pot and saw a large bowl on the lattice of the steamer. And there were white things like cakes in the large bowl.

His brows furrowed: “What is this?”

Su Man-er said with a smile, “This is white radish cake.”

Radish cake? Chi YunChen’s brows furrowed more. “Can radishes make cakes?”

“Yes,” Su Man-er nodded and picked up the nearby handkerchief to take out the large bowl.

But Chi YunChen looked at her movement, reached out to stop her, and said, “I’ll get it!”

Then he went forward as he spoke, picked up the handkerchief, held the large bowl with the handkerchief, and took it out.

Grandma Chi smiled slightly at his movements.

YunChen was afraid that Man-er would be scalded.

After all, Man-er had smooth skin. If she was scalded, it would be certainly bad.

”

”

Although YunChen looked indifferent, she knew that in his heart, he should be concerned about Man-er. Otherwise, he would not take over Man-er’s work.

Chi YunChen put down the large bowl. He took another look in the pot. On the lattice of the pot, there were two steamed eggs.

He took out the eggs, went over it with cold water, and handed it to her, saying: “Here you go!”

He knew that she cooked the eggs for herself.

After all, there is no meat at home. The most precious thing was these eggs.

And she ate meat every day at her parents’ house. (1) So she undoubtedly cooked these eggs for herself.

However, she pushed away his palm and said, “Give these eggs to Xiao Bo and JiaYue. They are still growing, so they should eat more.”

Chi YunChen: “……”

There was a slight crack in his expression, and it was obvious that her words shocked him.

And Chi YunBo and Grandma Chi were also shocked.

Grandma Chi was stupefied for a bit and said, “Xiao Bo and JiaYue don’t eat it, but you should eat it, Man-er. Man-er, I know you have been wronged by marrying into our family. You used to eat meat every day at home, but in our house, you can’t see even see meat. These eggs……You’d better eat these eggs. You don’t need to give them to Xiao Bo and JiaYue.”

Grandma Chi really felt that she wronged Su Man-er. After all, it was a grievance to ask a girl from the town to marry into such a poor family in the village.

Su Man-er took the two eggs and went to give Chi YunBo and Chi JiaYue one each.

She turned to look at Grandma Chi, smiled slightly, and said: “Grandma, I am not wronged. Since I’m married, I’m the daughter-in-law of the family. In the future, we will suffer bitterness together and enjoy happiness together. And I also believe that YunChen is a progressive person, and he will definitely make our life prosperous.”

She spoke as she looked at Chi YunChen.

Chi YunChen’s brow was furrowed tightly together. He stared at her and his eyes became deep.

His thin lips moved, trying to say something.

But Su Man-er was the first to speak, “I’ll make a shredded radish salad. Then stir-fry Chinese cabbage. I believe that after the Chinese cabbage is stir-fried, it will be time for my sister-in-law to come back.” Su Man-er turned around and went back to the stove. She picked up the shredded radish from a bowl at the side and began to put in the seasoning.

Chi YunChen stood in place and looked at her deeply. He looked at her standing there doing work, her face peaceful. He saw that she had a light smile on her fair face. His eyes became deeper and deeper, and there was a faint hint of prying in them.

……

Next door at Li CuiHua’s house.

When Li CuiHua saw Hu YuJiao coming in from the door, her face fell and she shouted to Hu YuJiao, “Where did you go? It’s getting dark. Why didn’t you cook dinner? What, do you want to wait for us to make it and wait for us to serve you?!”
