Seeing that the second uncle wanted to refuse Father Li's invitation due to anger, Lu Jueyu said, "Father, I brewed so tonic wine before and brought a jar over for you to try. How about I make so at dishes to go with the wine?"
After hearing her words, the second uncle swallowed his rejection and looked at his brothers. Seeing that the eldest uncle had no intention of leaving, he said, "Third brother, we will stay for a al."
Father Li was relieved when he saw that his brothers were no longer offended by what happened just now. He looked at his daughters-in-law and said, "Then this al will be left to you two."
"Father, you can rest assured."
After Zhang Dongi said that, she and Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen while the n stayed in the living room to chat.
After entering the kitchen, Zhang Dongi went to light a fire and boil a pot of water, while Lu Jueyu walked to a corner of the kitchen and took out the grains and other items from the bamboo basket. After the fire was lit, Zhang Dongi noticed the food brought by Lu Jueyu.
While helping her put the food into cabinets and jars, she said, "Third sister-in-law, you and third brother are the most filial."
"Eldest sister-in-law, when our mother-in-law fell ill, you and the eldest brother took care of her every day until she passed away. Compared with the filial piety of you and the eldest brother, what my husband and I have done for our father now is nothing." Lu Jueyu said.
"There is no need to compare between us. I believe Father understands in his heart." She added with a smile.
Zhang Dongi was comforted by her words. Because Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo were generous to Father Li, she was worried that Father Li would think that she and Li Chenze were not as filial as the third branch. Although they were filial to Father Li, they did not have as much money and food as the third branch.
After storing the food, Lu Jueyu started to cook braised pork, fish soup, fried sauerkraut, and stead buns. While she was cooking, Zhang Dongi helped her wash pots and dishes. So, while dinner was being prepared, the pots were cleaned.
Thirty minutes later, Zhang Dongi brought the dishes to the living room, and Lu Jueyu took out a jar of tonic wine from her space. This tonic wine is made from a variety of dicinal plants and wild ginseng. She brewed this wine for her husband. But since she brewed a lot, she didn't mind taking out a jar to share with her husband's family.
When she finally ca to the living room holding the tonic wine, Father Li and the others were already waiting for her. When Li Chenmo saw her coming, he stretched out his hand and said, "Wife, thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing." She smiled at him and sat next to him.
After everyone sat down, Father Li said, "Eldest brother, second brother, please have a try."
The two uncles nodded and picked up a piece of braised pork with their chopsticks. After they took the first bite, Father Li picked up a piece of braised pork and started eating it. After the three elders took a bite, they finally moved their chopsticks. Since both Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu had already eaten, they only drank a bowl of fish soup.
Lu Jueyu smiled when she saw that they were eating with delight. During the al, Li Chenze opened the wine jar and poured so wine for Father Li and both uncles. Dinner took longer than usual because of the drinking. An hour later, they finally finished their al.
When Father Li saw off his brothers, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen while Zhang Dongi washed the dishes. Before leaving the kitchen, Lu Jueyu checked the surrounding environnt.
After confirming that there was no one around, she took out a pack of fruit slices and a can of milk powder from her space. She put a few stead buns, fruit slices, and milk powder into a small bamboo basket. After that, she took out so stead buns and put them on the stear on the stove before leaving the kitchen.
She put the bamboo basket near the door and helped Zhang Dongi wash the dishes. Lu Jueyu, who was sitting next to her, said, "Eldest sister-in-law, there are still so buns left. Can you help bring so back to the children?"
Zhang Dongi nodded and said, "Third sister-in-law, I would like to thank you on behalf of the children."
Lu Jueyu smiled and nodded. When they finished washing the dishes, the moon rose and lit up the night. After a brief conversation, Li Chenze and Li Chenmo left Father Li's house with their wives. Not long after, the educated youth who lived in Li's house ca back.
When they saw that Father Li was the only one inside, they breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they didn't co back when Father Li's family was still there. When Li Chenxuan ca over before, they were resting in their rooms. Hearing him quarreling with Father Li, the educated youth felt uncomfortable, so they found an excuse to go out.
Father Li knew they were being polite, so they gave him a face and went out. So when he saw them coming back, Father Li said, "There is fish soup and so stead buns in the kitchen. Help finish it to avoid wasting food."
After saying that, Father Li went to his bedroom to rest. The educated youths all know that Father Li is an awkward old man, but he has a kind heart. Therefore, they went to the kitchen without thinking too much about Father Li's cold attitude.
The warm fish soup is placed on the brazier and the stead buns are placed on the stear above the stove. Opening the stear, they found more than fifteen stead buns inside.
The stead buns are made with white flour and are very fragrant.
