Chapter 388： It’s not that easy to be a mother

Chapter 388 It’s not that easy to be a mother!

Everyone in the family, old and young, has been busy all day, and they don’t have the energy to cook dinner.

Sister-in-law Qiong and Dongmei brought Shuiyun and three others to make bone soup, noodles, and some side dishes. After everyone was full, they all rested early.

Jiayin slept in the Cui family yard tonight. During the day, her aunt showed off her power and helped her out. Of course she had to reciprocate the favor and try her best to be cute.

As a result, Mrs. Cui experienced the pain and joy of being a mother.

The little fat girl took her time eating during dinner, and now she was sitting in her arms, eating snacks secretly. Her little mouth gnawed as fast as a rabbit, and she still remembered to give her a bite from time to time.

After having eaten and drank enough, the aunt and nephew went to the bathhouse to take a bath.

The little girl couldn't get her hands wet while holding up the rice dumplings, so Mrs. Cui helped with a bath.

Occasionally, the girl, who is as white and fat as a rice bug, giggles and hides when she encounters the ticklish meat.

Mrs. Cui would catch people all over the bath, bring them back, and continue to rub them. If they ran away, they would catch them again...

Finally washed up and got into bed. Mrs. Cui's tired arms could not be lifted.

It's a pity that the fat girl wants to listen to a bedtime story again.

Mrs. Cui could only search for some interesting allusions that the children could listen to. Halfway through, the fat girl didn’t fall asleep. She started snoring...

The good news was tossing and turning and I couldn't sleep. I regretted that I had eaten snacks behind my grandma and mother's back, so that now I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach.

She was not sleepy for the moment, and her mind was wandering around the small space courtyard.

In her previous life, she lived in semi-seclusion in the small courtyard of her hometown. Apart from growing vegetables and raising chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep in the courtyard, the most important thing she did was read to pass her free time.

There are different worlds in the books. Every time you finish reading one, it feels like you have experienced a life with the protagonist.

Those joys, sorrows and joys made her cry and laugh, and the happy ending gave her great comfort...

All of this made her forget about the loneliness in reality and the indelible pain left to her by the breakup of her original family.

There are three main rooms in the small courtyard. The east room is her bedroom, and the west room is her study. There are many books on the shelves against the wall, some old and new.

Today her focus is on a few cookbooks that are at the bottom of the box!

Before returning to her hometown to live in seclusion, she also wanted to be a refined, petty bourgeoisie woman.

The eight major cuisines, including pasta, braised food, even Chinese pastries and baked pastries, are all covered.

It’s a pity that every time I bought materials and tools, I lost to laziness before I even started.

Euphemistically speaking, I am too busy with work to take care of...

After returning to her hometown, she had a lot of leisure time, but after burning earthen stoves and growing vegetables and food with her own hands, she became more willing to eat original food.

For example, boil tender corn in a large pot of water, and steam a few tender eggplants and potatoes on a grate. It is a simple and nutritious meal...

So, those recipes and tools were still thrown into the corner by her to gather dust.

Nowadays, it’s really not easy to find it when rummaging through boxes and cabinets...

When I got up early, there were unknown birds chirping outside the window, as if they were in my ears, making Mrs. Cui reluctant to wake up.

She yawned and subconsciously wanted to get up, only to realize that her arms were a little heavy.

She turned around and saw that the fat girl had her hair hanging down, her injured little hand raised, and the other hand hugged her arm, like a little monkey climbing a big tree, relying on and close to her.

Perhaps she was dreaming about eating, and the fat girl’s little mouth cooed a few times from time to time, which was so cute.

Mrs. Cui quickly lay down, gently pulled out her arm, and half held the fat girl in her arms. She even breathed softly, for fear of waking up the child's sweet dream.

When they divorced, she vowed never to marry again, preferring to live alone and never trust any man again.

After all, her ex-husband cared deeply about her at the beginning and had a deep love for her. In the end, they didn’t hate each other and were like life-or-death enemies.

But during this period, she slowly changed her mind.

If she gets married again, she wants to have a baby, a fat baby like Fu Niu'er.

Even if she is so unlucky and meets a black-hearted man, she will not be so lonely if she has a child to accompany her for the rest of her life... What's more, she won't be blind once and twice, right?

Suddenly, that handsome and tall figure flashed through her mind, and she slowly blushed...

Jiayin didn’t know that the time she spent sleeping in had already helped her sister find a new goal and direction in life.

When she woke up, her family had already gone to the city again.

Today the restaurant officially opened and it was even busier.

Fortunately, the old lady and Mrs. Cui continued to bake moon cakes in the yard, planning to give two pounds to every family in the village to add to the joy of the festival.

After the mooncakes are baked, they need to be sealed and left for a few days to recover the oil. The surface will be oily, making them more appetizing.

But Jiayin likes it just out of the oven, the sweetness with heat, and it is also extremely delicious.

This morning, she followed her grandma and aunt, acting cute and cute, and ate two small pieces of mooncakes.

Of course, she didn’t eat much for lunch.

So, she was resolutely kicked out of the Cui family yard in the afternoon!

In the evening, Mr. Wen returned from the city with the Li family.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw his junior sister bringing a plate of mooncakes, so he greeted with a smile, "Junior sister, these are the mooncakes you baked. Are there any with five-nut filling?"

Mrs. Cui didn't know what she thought of, her face was a little red, she responded and hurried into the Li family yard.

Mr. Wen looked a little confused. He lowered his head and checked his clothes. There seemed to be nothing wrong with him. Why was the junior sister blushing...

Li Zhensheng had been running Sihaiju for many years when he was in the Wang family, and had a very good reputation.

In addition, he was almost killed before and finally returned to the Li family. That incident was also well known to everyone.

So, now that Sihaiju has been renamed Cyclamen and reopened, the whole new city is full of curiosity and misses the original old flavor.

Today’s opening, the three floors of the restaurant were packed with relatives and friends who came to congratulate the restaurant, plus diners.

Tao Hongying and Jia Huan, as well as Master Zhang, the cook from the south, were so tired that they almost collapsed.

But the guests were full of praise for their food!

Originally, this place is inland and there is not much seafood. Everyone who eats it has a sense of freshness.

In addition to Tao Hongying's several new dishes, the guests have never seen or tasted them before.

As for eating spicy food, those who love it will love it to death, and those who don’t will be spicy to death.

But whether you love it or not, the red dishes are enough to attract your attention.

Several traditional specialties are also delicious.

These combined really satisfy everyone’s taste buds and curiosity.

From now on, cyclamen will be a hot topic in and outside the city for at least a month!

The village chief, Uncle Zhao, Liu Biaotou and others all knew that Li Zhensheng’s restaurant was opening today.

They want to help, but they are powerless and can only keep thinking about it.

At this moment, they heard that everyone was back, and they hurriedly came to ask a few questions.

Mrs. Li stayed with them to eat together. There were two tables in the main room and the east room.

The men are in the main room, and the women and children are in the east room.

The food is not that sumptuous, but the freshly steamed buns are soft and the radish and mutton stewed in the big pot are fragrant.

With the addition of scrambled eggs with fungus, cabbage and pork belly, and cold and sour shredded cabbage to appetize and relieve fatigue, it is enough for everyone to eat.
