Meng Yao picked a large sweet potato and planned to cook sweet potato porridge.
When she went up, Qi Wenye was making food and teaching Huzi a lesson. The little baby was just chattering away.
But it was precisely because of this that Meng Yao heard clearly what Qi Wenye was talking about about Hu Zi stealing things from her basket without permission, and taught him that he was not allowed to touch other people's things without permission in the future, even if it was at home.
Meng Yao raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
Brother-in-law Qi Wenye obviously has his own principles, so why would he steal her money?
There was also her meal, which he ate up completely. He was so discerning that what he said was contradictory, right?
With doubts, Meng Yao got out of the cellar hole.
As soon as she came out, Qi Wenye stopped talking immediately, lowered his head, and used a wooden stick to eat the dog food hard.
Meng Yao walked towards the kitchen with the sweet potatoes. When he passed by Qi Wenye, he rolled his eyes and said, "After feeding the tiger, come here and light the fire for me!"
Qi Wenye raised his head suddenly, with his usual unruly expression, and asked loudly: "Why?"
Meng Yao replied lightly: "You can eat my food!"
Qi Wenye's eyes widened, "Didn't I compensate you?"
Meng Yao grinned at first, then his smile faded, "Would you like to spend a dime to eat?"
Now that prices have increased, one dime is only enough to buy some snacks, but not anything to wrap your belly around.
Qi Wenye snorted in dissatisfaction, and Meng Yao blinked at him, as if he was so angry that he wouldn't pay for it with his life, "Otherwise, I'll pay you back your dime, and you'll prepare a good meal for me."
Qi Wenye opened his mouth to say "Okay".
It's not that he doesn't know how to cook, it's just that he can't make it so delicious. It's okay to make a fool of himself and fill his stomach.
Meng Yao understood his thoughts and added: "What you have to do is the same as mine."
Qi Wenye's cheeks suddenly bulged, "I can't do it!"
"Then stop talking nonsense!"
After Meng Yao finished speaking, she strutted towards the kitchen, causing Qi Wenye to stare at her fat back like a wall.
Meng Yao entered the kitchen and found that the porridge was finished and the pot had been washed.
In this era, children have become the head of the family early and start doing housework within their ability at a very young age.
Meng Yao felt more and more that what was written in the book was too one-sided.
In other words, the cold words in the past are now replaced by vivid people. After experiencing and feeling, I feel that some people and things are not as simple as that.
Meng Yao refilled the water to boil and cut the sweet potatoes, Qi Wenye pursed his lips and entered the kitchen looking unhappy.
Meng Yao pretended not to notice that he was unhappy, and directed others around, "Hurry up and add some firewood, the firewood is running out, you can go outside and bring some back later!"
"Oh, and also, did you only feed the tiger cubs, but not the chickens and pigs at home? You have to hurry, otherwise the chickens won't lay eggs and the pigs won't gain fat!"
Qi Wenye felt dizzy after listening to so many words, "I only promise you to light the fire!"
Meng Yao didn't care and continued to cut the sweet potatoes in her hand, "Forget it if you don't feed them. When mother comes back and finds that the chickens and pigs at home have not been fed, it won't be my fault anyway."
Qi Wenye really wanted to beat Meng Yao up.
She didn't care about anything at home, and now she was blaming these things on him.
In the past, the chickens and pigs in the family were fed by Liu Cuihua or Wu Aizhen who came back to cook. In this family, Meng Yao was just a lady who never left the house and did nothing.
Although Qi Wenye started doing housework early, he was too short to lift the pig-feeding bucket and had never fed him.
Qi Wenye still wanted to fight, "I have to go to school later..."
"Don't think of me as a fool, I know when you have class!"
This time, the only response to Meng Yao was Qi Wenye's heavy cold snort.
