On Shen Wangxin's side, she went to the backyard and picked some vegetables. The previous owner of the kitchen had left a few potatoes, and she also went to the tofu factory at the village entrance to buy some tofu. Although there was not a single piece of meat, the fragrance coming from the kitchen made her drool non-stop.
In her previous life, when she was in her twenties, she was actually squatting beside the stove like a child, staring at the dishes in the pot without even blinking her eyes.
When the food was finally ready, Shen Wangxin and Auntie Shen sat together at the table and started to eat. The dishes cooked by Auntie Shen were simply too delicious. A plate of small vegetables, a plate of spicy potato chips, and a bowl of green onion mixed with tofu were all wiped clean by Shen Wangxinfeng.
"Third Aunt, how could the food you made be so delicious?" Shen Wangxin dared to guarantee that the dishes cooked by Auntie Shen were even better than those cooked by some chefs in a 5-star hotel!
It wasn't because of the pollution-free beauty of the ancient mountains and rivers, nor was it because of the good flavors of the seasonings, but because Auntie Shen's cooking skills were just too good.
Seeing Shen Wangxin eat so fast, Auntie Shen clapped Shen Wangxin's back with a face full of smiles, just in case she choked, "Eat slower, eat slower, it's not like someone is fighting over it with you!"
In her house, she served the old man and a few disagreeable sons, and although they ate happily, they always had to be picky when they came out. Either the dish was too salty, or the time it took for the dish to fry was too short. Although the daughter-in-law and grandsons didn't say anything, they didn't dare say it wasn't so, right?
She was still a girl who cared about her the most. No one had ever praised her like this before.
Furthermore, she could tell that Shen Wangxin's praises for her not having the slightest bit of falsehood were all sincere!
Shen Wangxin hugged her bulging stomach as she washed the dishes in the kitchen. Auntie Shen had rushed over to do the work, but she had already cooked. How could she not do anything? Therefore, he firmly took over the task of washing dishes.
Glancing at Auntie Shen, who was busy busying herself in the yard, she couldn't help but mumble to herself.
I'm done. I really want to keep Auntie Shen here. What if I have to cook everyday for myself?
Shen Wangxin thought like this. When she and Auntie Shen squeezed into the same bed at night, her deer-like eyes stared at Auntie Shen. The original face looked innocent, which made Auntie Shen feel both pity and love for her.
Finally, after Shen Wangxin had recovered her composure, her round, almond-shaped eyes became misty. "Third Uncle's grandma, you really look like my grandma."
Auntie Shen was stunned for a moment. If she remembered correctly, Shen Fugui's mother would have died long ago when this girl was born, right? Even Shen Yueying had never seen her breast. How could Shen Wangxin know what it looked like?
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, he heard a soft voice say, "If only I had a grandma like Third Aunt who dotes on me."
This child must have suffered too many grievances in his rich family. If others treated her slightly better, she would remember them all from the bottom of her heart!
Auntie Shen's heart warmed. She almost burst into tears. She hurriedly covered Shen Wangxin with her blanket and said, "From now on, you have to call Third Aunt your milk. Third Aunt will be your grandmother from now on!"
"Third Grandmother!" Then, a pair of small hands wrapped around Third Aunt's neck, "Third Grandmother, can you cook for me from now on? I like my grandma's cooking the best. "In the future, when Grandmother stays here, I will pay Grandmother a silver tael every month!"
Auntie Shen's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She hurriedly asked, "Xin, how much did Mrs. Liu give you?" "You must not be so extravagant in the future, lest others get jealous, especially for that rich family, they will always want you!"
Shen Wangxin thought to herself, since she was going to invite Auntie Shen to cook, she had to pay for the money in the future. Therefore, she said in a low voice, "Mrs. Liu gave me a total of two hundred silver taels, I bought the house for thirty silvers, and spent four silvers to put up a signboard. Next, I have to make some medicine cabinets and things, and I still have about a hundred silvers left.
Such a large sum of money scared Auntie Shen. She held onto Shen Wangxin's hand and said, "Apart from Third Grandmother, you can't tell anyone else, right?"
Shen Wangxin nodded and said a few more words to Auntie Shen before falling into a deep sleep.
When he woke up the next morning, the bed beside him was empty. There was only a slightly raised blanket, indicating that someone had once slept here. In the kitchen, only the kitchen had the slightest movement. Shen Wangxin lifted the lid of the pot, and the fragrance of rice and a plate of yesterday's sweet and sour potato filament that she liked the most.
She thought for a moment and understood that Auntie Shen had probably gone home to discuss what had happened last night.
At this time, Li Zheng was home, smoking a cigarette. His sons, who rarely went to work in the fields, were sitting next to him, watching the white mist come out of Li Zheng's mouth. They were frowning slightly, their faces filled with happiness for a moment, yet at the same time, they were unwilling to part with him.
Finally, Li Zheng used his pipe to knock on the table and decided, "Since that's the case, let her go. "It's not like you can't eat food at home. Xin gives her one silver a month, and even when you're in the city, you don't get this treatment."
His sons understood this logic, but they were more or less unwilling. In the past few years, Auntie Shen had raised them so highly that they couldn't eat the food that others cooked. However, the temptation of one tael of silver was too great. The brothers could only earn this much money in a month. Since they had already agreed, they had no reason to oppose it.
Seeing that both her husband and her son had agreed, Auntie Shen couldn't help but exclaim happily, "Since it has already been decided, then let's go recognize each other. We must take care of each other in the future."
Li Zhengyu thought about it and felt that it made sense. Normally, someone like Qiao Qing should hold a banquet. However, Shen Wangxin was only a little girl and had to keep a low profile. Since it was a matter of spending money, she decided to leave the feast to herself as well. However, they were all informants, and since Shen Wangxin had given him quite a bit of silver, it was only right for him to congratulate her.
He then nodded to Auntie Shen and said to his sons, "Since you guys aren't going anywhere today, come with us to see if there's anything we can help with. Your mother can be at ease there in the future."
Although they didn't have much contact with Shen Wangxin, but seeing how much Auntie Shen liked her, they had a good impression of her. As soon as Li Zheng spoke, they automatically took hoes, hammers, axes, and the like, majestically heading towards Shen Wangxin's house.
Shen Wangxin finished her breakfast and decided to take a look at her family's land. She had seen it when she first moved here. There was a flat field behind the house, roughly two acres of land, according to the deed.
The hillside on both sides of the road looked a little like an ingot of gold and ingot of gold. It was set up at the back of the yard.
Yesterday, when she went to the field to pick vegetables, she had discovered that there was half an acre of vegetables growing on the east side. She assumed that it was left behind by the previous owner of the house. Thinking that Auntie Shen still needed to cook at noon, Shen Wangxin went to the ground to pick a few eggplants. She carried them in her arms and put them in the kitchen.
