Chapter 76: The Chu Family is Busy Cooking

  After finishing speaking, Chu Lishou raised his foot and was about to walk out, completely disregarding whether Xu Shi would scold him again behind his back.

  Chu Yan Nian also cooperated, Chu Li stood guard in front of his foot and walked, his hind foot went to Xu Shi and said, "Mother, give me the silver, this disaster was caused by me, let me solve it."

  As he spoke, Chu Yan reached out his hand to take the silver from Xu Shi's hand.

  How can the silver in hand fly away? Madam Xu hastily withdrew her hand and glared at Chu Zhenghai, who was sitting beside her, "You're the master of this house, don't you care about what's going on?"

  "Alright!" Chu Zhenghai responded quickly this time, glared at Xu Shi and then looked at Chu Yannian, saying: "It's settled, let's just leave it like that! Brother Nian was also kind-hearted, you as the grandmother, say a few less words today!"

  After finishing, Chu Zhenghai looked up at Mo Shi, who was picking vegetables, "The third family's, today you and your sisters-in-law will have to work a bit harder, prepare more dishes. After dinner, when the cleanup is done, Father will give each of you a big red envelope."

  "Ah!" Mo responded, turning to leave the room. However, as soon as she stepped out of the doorway, she stopped and turned back to face Chu Zhenghai and Xu: "Father, Mother, I think we did the right thing by taking in Nian'ge. Today is Father's birthday, so we should do more good deeds. This kind of accumulating virtue and blessings is something that others can't even ask for."

  He finished speaking and turned around to leave, completely ignoring how Xu Shi would react.

  "Uh, Grandpa, when I agreed to this matter at that time, it was what I thought. Accumulating virtue and blessings for Grandpa is accumulating blessings for us as his children and grandchildren, which is accumulating blessings for our old Chu family. Grandma, don't you think so?" Chu Yan continued with Mo's words and even asked Xu specifically at the end.

  But he didn't expect Xu to say anything good either. Anyway, he had said his piece and turned around to leave after finishing speaking.

  Mrs. Xu was stunned, wanting to scold but unable to, finally her face turned iron-green, reluctantly putting away the silver and walking out of the main house with her old lady's gait.

  When everyone in the house had dispersed and only Zhu Zhenghai was left, Zhu Zhenghai suddenly sighed: "Alas, Lao Sanjia is indeed a blessed life!"

  Things went exceptionally smoothly because of Yinzi's presence.

  Osmanthus fragrans had thought of calling some children to help pick up the fish, but because Chu Lixun and Chu Lixin, two adults, took action, she was actually idle, only guarding the wooden bucket on the side, watching the caught fish not jump out.

  Plum blossoms and lotus flowers together, helping Mo's family and Yu's family busy in the kitchen.

  All three kitchens in Chu's house were rarely used today.

  The kitchen on the east side was used to make dry rice, and of course it was impossible to have pure white rice. However, mixed with glutinous rice, millet, brown rice, and various types of beans, a full pot of dry rice could still be cooked. This pot wasn't the kind of wok that Guihua had seen before, but rather a genuine rural large iron pot.

  The kitchen on the west side is empty at this moment, and after the fish comes back later, it will be used for cooking fish.

  The kitchen in the main house was now the main battlefield.

  On the eastern stove, there was a half pig's skeleton squatting on it. On the western stove, water was being boiled. Once all the dishes were washed and chopped, they could start stir-frying.

  Waiting for Guihua and Chu Lixiu to return from fishing by the river, the kitchen in the main house had already emitted a fragrance, while the kitchen in the east wing also wafted out a very strong rice aroma.
