The Shen family's preparations for the Mid-Autumn Festival were extremely grand. As a bride, Qin Yanjun was still a little shy.
She worked in the kitchen with Mrs. Wang. Qin Yanjun also cooked when he was at his parents' house, but he was not proficient in it. Originally, Mrs. Qin was worried that she would be rejected by her husband's family because she didn't know anything, so she asked the cook at home to teach her before getting married.
She is more than half a month old.
But Qin Yanjun was proficient in playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he was not good at cooking. The cook taught her for so long, but she just couldn't learn it.
In the end, Mrs. Qin had no choice but to give up.
"Your husband's family made a fortune in food, but you can't even make a fire."
Mrs. Qin looked at her daughter and wondered if her mother-in-law would care.
Qin Yanjun was a little worried at first. Today she and her mother-in-law went into the kitchen to help, and saw Jiang Miao cooking on the stove. Jiang Miao made sweet and sour pork ribs and braised pork. It was getting cold, so she wanted to eat sweet dishes.
Both dishes are bright red in color, and they are sprinkled with sesame seeds. Not to mention how tempting they are.
Qin Yanjun felt even more panicked when he saw Jiang Miao's flowing movements and the tempting meals being prepared.
Even the princess's cooking is so delicious, but she, a junior, can't do anything. Isn't it a bit unreasonable?
Mrs. Xu was making soup nearby. When she saw their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law coming in, she quickly stood up to greet them.
"Sister-in-law and Yan Jun are here. Just now, Miaoya said she wanted to eat the pancakes baked by her."
Mrs. Xu is now much more honest and settled, and gets along very well with her sisters-in-law. She didn’t mean anything else by saying this, but Qin Yanjun was in a panic, and she turned a little pale when she was suddenly called by Mrs. Xu.
.
"Okay, I'm going to wash my hands and come over right away."
Wang's is not as good as others, but the pancakes are cooked very well, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, fragrant but not greasy, and Jiang Miao can eat three of them in one go.
"Yanjun didn't rest yesterday, okay? Why does he look so ugly?"
Jiang Miao first greeted Mr. Wang and then asked about Qin Yanjun.
Mrs. Xu looked ambiguous and stretched out her arm to hit her.
"Young ladies are newlyweds, so you can't help but indulge yourself at night..."
They have all been here before, so they don't know the fun between young couples.
Qin Yanjun was teased by his aunt and quickly lowered his head, his face full of shame.
Shen Dalang was indeed out of control, but he knew last night that she had to help the elders with work today, so he let her go. Qin Yanjun looked so flustered, most of the time he was worried that he was not good at cooking and would be disliked by his elders.
She pursed her lips and didn't know how to answer. Jiang Miao knew that she was thin-skinned, and her eyes stopped Xu from continuing. She pulled Qin Yanjun to sit aside, handed her a handful of vegetables, and asked her to help choose vegetables.
"The Shen family has maids, so you don't need to work. However, during the festival, you can still feel involved by using your hands. Just sit here and help choose the dishes. Tell the aunts what you want to eat, and they will cook it for you."
Although she was still a little uncomfortable with the addition of a niece who was similar to her age, Jiang Miao had quickly assumed the role of an elder and knew how to take care of the younger generation.
Qin Yanjun took the green vegetables in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"But it's okay to let the aunts make the decision."
"OK."
Jiang Miao discussed with her two sisters-in-law for a while and arranged a table of dishes.
Over there, Mrs. Zhang was helping to look after the children, while several men went outside to move some logs and built a pergola in the courtyard, surrounded by flower stands, which was both delicate and wild.
They also discussed having a barbecue in the pergola in the evening, drinking while admiring the moon, and having a happy reunion.
Guo Zhao mingled with his brothers-in-law and didn't feel restricted at all.
Mother Guo and Mrs. Zhang looked at the children. Today Jiang Jiu also came with them. He was a little older than the two dumplings. Although he was also a little boy, he had the look of an uncle. He sat on the mat and looked at the two dumplings.
Little An Yi is lively and active. He can't sit still at all and wants to crawl out from time to time. Little Jiang Jiu holds his little body and tells him not to move.
"Brother... don't run away!"
He was not very polite with what he said, but he still kept trying to dissuade him.
Xiao Anyi was so strong that she tried to break free from his arms with her hands and feet, which made Xiao Jiang Jiu's face turn red from exhaustion.
Yingying didn't stay there either. She crawled to Mrs. Zhang's legs, grabbed her robe and climbed up. Then she sat in her arms and found a comfortable position, unwilling to move.
The little girl's bright black eyes flickered, looking at the pergola in front of her with curiosity.
Mother Guo looked at these children with envy in her eyes.
There are only two of them in the Guo family, mother and son. Without a child, she would have felt lonely for a long time.
Now that Guo Zhao and Shen Yingxue are finally getting married, she just wants to wait for them to have a few more children so that she can satisfy her grandmother's addiction.
When the little ones were almost tired from playing, it was finally time to eat.
The Shen family and Guo Zhao and Guo's mother sat at a large table. On the table were meals cooked by several sisters-in-law, all delicious and delicious. Outside the pergola were brightly blooming roses, growing wildly along the flower stands.
There was laughter and laughter on the table, everyone was talking and there were smiles on their faces.
Qin Yanjun, who had been frightened all day, finally calmed down. The Shen family is really easy to get along with. Even the powerful Shen Yanqing and the distinguished Jiang Miao have no airs at home. They are just like ordinary people.
He is like an elder and makes people feel friendly.
Qin Yanjun gnawed on the ribs in the bowl and was once again grateful to marry into the Shen family.
It's almost impossible to find such a good family with a lantern. Proposing marriage to Shen Dalang was the most correct decision the Qin family made.
"Ah!"
Yingying liked this beautiful sister-in-law very much. When they got married that day, she still remembered the jewelry Qin Yanjun wore on his head. It was so shiny and beautiful.
Yingying patted her hand, looked at her with bright eyes, and smiled with a grin. She looked cute and cute, and Qin Yanjun's heart suddenly melted.
"Yingying, do you want a hug?"
She has no resistance to such a cute little girl, not to mention that Yingying is the mascot of the family, and everyone who sees her wants to hug her.
Yingying, she still couldn't understand what the adults said, but her sister-in-law smelled good, and she wanted to get close to her, so she opened her arms, and Qin Yanjun smiled and hugged her over.
Jiang Miao found it funny when she saw her daughter going to 'seduce' the young lady again.
This little girl doesn't care about life at all and wants to hug everyone she sees. Fortunately, she is cute and loves to laugh, so everyone treats her well.
Qin Yanjun coaxed the little girl, making her happy and grinning. Mrs. Zhang's mind suddenly moved and she suddenly spoke.
"Dalang and Yanjun have such good looks, the little girl they give birth to will definitely be very cute too."
The family becomes more lively when there are more juniors. Mrs. Zhang now feels that she is in good health and can live for decades, so she helps them take care of their children while she can still move.
"Yes, maybe by today next year, our family will be able to add another child."
Mrs. Xu also agreed, she could tell that Mrs. Zhang really liked the little girl.
Nowadays, Ms. Xu is no longer obsessed with having a boy, and she is fine with a delicate and soft little girl.
