n91 Eldest Uncle Stuck

nGood that they were not here! Qiao Xuan took a rest and after a while started to work in the kitchen.

nShao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao helped alongside.

nMs. Xu was very happy to see Qiao Xuan making some snacks for her children. She offered to help too, but Qiao Xuan told her to leave.

nDuring dinner, dishes including pan-fried lamb chops, stewed radish soup, pan-fried sweet and sour hoof, stir-fried yam slices, stir-fried lettuce, and cold spinach were served. The view made people drool.

nThe BBQ pork was made as well. But it was stored in the kitchen for the next night.

nWhen Elder Uncle saw the table full of meat, he could not help but gasp.

nBefore he could say anything, Qiao Xuan smiled. “Don’t worry, Father, all this was bought with my dowry, not with the shared money. My husband has been studying hard, and our brothers and sisters-in-law are working hard too. We should eat something good.”

nEldest Uncle was stuck with words, and said nothing more.

nHe owed 2 liang to his daughter-in-law and could not possibly ask her to share the food with the other sections of the family.

nEldest Uncle answered briefly and said, “But this is too much for us…”

nHe meant that they could give the rest to the second and the third sections of the family, because their children were starving too.

nShao Sanlang pursed his lips. “We are all grownups. Of course we will be able to finish it all. Dad, the dishes taste great, I will make sure I finish them all!”

nQiao Xuan chuckled.

nSeeing that Qiao Xuan had not yet realized what he meant, Eldest Uncle snapped at his son and said, “You only know how to eat! You are getting married soon!”

nMs. Fang rolled her eyes. “Just sit down and eat!”

nEldest Uncle fell silent.

nThe lamb chops tasted crisp on the top and the hoofs were not tough to chew. A bite of both of them tasted great. They were soft, sweet and sour at the same time, with a really fragrant taste of the broth.

nThe wok dishes and cold-served spinach were good for appetite.

nAfter the whole family was full, they spoke highly of the dishes and did not spare even the broth.

nShao Sanlang looked at Elder Uncle, as he poured the broth over the rice. “Dad, look, I knew I could finish it!”

nEldest Uncle responded in a dark manner. “Just shut up!”

nQiao Xuan tried to hold down her laughter.

nBack in the bedroom, Shao Yunduan said to Qiao Xuan,. “After the Dragon Boat Festival, we will have a competition with dragon boats. The teachers of the school asked me to join. Do you want to watch the game?”

nQiao Xuan’s eyes brightened. “Is it fun?”

nShao Yunduan felt slightly delighted. He knew that it would be interesting for her. He nodded. “Yes, and it is going to be festive!”

n“Okay!” Qiao Xuan smiled. “I will be there!”

nShe had never seen such a show before, and would definitely like to watch it.

nMoreover, she could make a thorough observation of the local area.

nShao Yunduan smiled. “Ok, it is settled then.”

n“Yes!”

nFollowing day, Qiao Xuan thought of the batch of watermelon seeds.

nShe struck her head. She should not have forgotten about this. She will take Qi and Taotao to the mountain, and bring some watermelon seeds to the yard.

nThere were many watermelon seeds there, and with the help of her superpower, she was going to make the fruits grow fantastically in her field.

nThe watermelons would grow to be numerous, large in size, round and sweet too!
