Without waiting for Zhang Xiaoying to say anything, Dashun moved everything in.
Xu Qiaoqiao came over, looked at Dashun, and whispered: "Mom, who is he? Why do you send so many valuable things?"
"I helped Mr. Zhou Shanchang of Yinghua Academy once before, and this is his entourage, here to give a thank you gift." Zhang Xiaoying explained.
Books and paper are indeed very valuable to the Xu family today.
But to Zhou Shanchang, this is nothing.
Perhaps what he valued more was the value and significance of the three books given by Zhang Xiaoying.
Many people don't understand these when explained.
Zhang Xiaoying didn't plan to talk too much to Xu Qiaoqiao.
Some things can only reach a certain level before you can see how much they will affect the future, and Xu Qiaoqiao and the others are just ordinary people who cannot read a single word.
Dashun was about to leave after delivering the things. Zhang Xiaoying saw that it was getting late, so she didn't stay with him.
Mrs. Lin gave Zhang Xiaoying the money from selling the meat today.
"Fortunately, Xiao Wang is here, otherwise I might not be able to sell this meat today." Mrs. Lin said, "Someone was angry at us and took advantage of us first. Later, Xiao Wang found Manager Liao from Fengyue Restaurant, and Manager Liao bought it.
More than half of it fell."
"Manager Liao came to buy it?" Zhang Xiaoying was surprised.
"Hmm, Manager Liao said that wild boar meat is not easy to come by. People in the city still like to eat fresh food. We don't have any connections, and generally those wealthy families won't buy from us easily. Mom, all the money is here."
Lin didn't dare to hide even half a penny, so he took it all out and sold it for a total of about six taels of silver.
After Zhang Xiaoying counted, the first and second bedrooms each received fifty cents.
"You have performed well these days, and I will reward you with fifty cents."
Zhang Xiaoying's generosity made all four of them look incredulous.
You know, I used to wish I could take half of their coins away from them, but now I actually gave them fifty coins.
"It's up to you to save or buy things. You can decide on your own. I won't interfere. But please remember one thing. If anyone dares to gamble with it, don't blame me for breaking his legs!"
Zhang Xiaoying warned them seriously.
The ups and downs of winning and losing are very high. After those gambling dogs have experienced this kind of excitement, they can never quit. Moreover, the money on the gambling table seems to come quickly without any hard work, which makes it extremely easy for people to fall into corruption.
.
"Don't worry, mother, I promise I won't gamble." Xu Changsheng wanted to swear.
Xu Qinglin also hurriedly promised: "I will never gamble."
"Well, that's good." Zhang Xiaoying nodded, then looked at Xu Qiaoqiao, "Lao San, you just came home, I won't give you the money."
"It's okay, it's okay, mother, I don't want it. I haven't helped the family with anything, and I've caused so much trouble to the family, so I shouldn't take it." Xu Qiaoqiao said quickly, "Now that I can live at home, I'm very content."
"Okay, second brother, have you bought everything I asked you to buy? Let's go to the kitchen. I will teach you another dish today." Zhang Xiaoying put the money away and went to the kitchen.
Xu Changsheng handed the copper plate to Mrs. Lin and said happily: "Daughter-in-law, take it. I will learn how to cook from my mother."
Fifty cents was not much, but it was heavy in Lin's hands. It made her happier than any money her mother-in-law had ever given her before.
This was private money that truly belonged to their second wife, and she could spend it openly without being as secretive as before.
Her mother-in-law was a bit harsh, but Mrs. Lin really felt that she was much better than before, and her life was getting more and more promising. Sometimes she even looked at the big house and thought of what she had done and felt a little guilty.
Fortunately, the two elders were not the kind of people who cared about each other, and they never mentioned those things, which made Lin feel a little at ease.
She thought about how to use the fifty cents to buy something for Dafang to make amends for the past.
Liang's mood is also very complicated.
More than half a month ago, my mother-in-law was looking for life and death over a dozen pennies.
But now, she took the initiative to give them money.
Is this still the mother-in-law who wants to take away even half a penny?
Mrs. Liang had an indescribable feeling in her heart, sour and sour, but she knew that things would get better and better from now on, and she also hoped that her mother-in-law would not go back to her previous temperament.
Even if they get another slap, it is worth it. At least both mother and daughter are treated equally by their mother-in-law.
Zhang Xiaoying doesn't know what Liang is thinking, otherwise she would definitely roll her eyes.
She is currently in the kitchen teaching Xu Changsheng how to make pork belly and chicken.
In fact, Zhang Xiaoying is just a theorist. She has only read the recipes and has not practiced them.
Both she and Xu Changsheng are talented in this area.
Under her guidance, Xu Changsheng made the pork belly stuffed chicken with great success.
The pork belly is refreshing, the chicken is tender, and the soup with some medicinal herbs has a different flavor.
Even the old lady from the Chen family next door, who was usually reluctant to interact with the Xu family, was curious about the Xu family and came to see what they were cooking.
"What did your family do? Why does it smell so good?"
Mrs. Chen went directly into the kitchen and leaned over the stove to take a look.
"Hey, dear, you just put down a chicken to make soup?" Mrs. Chen was shocked when she saw the ingredients in the pot, "Isn't this too much to give up?"
"We have a big belly in our family, so we have to eat better." Zhang Xiaoying said, actively inviting Mrs. Chen, "Why don't you try the taste of this soup?"
Although Mrs. Chen was also greedy, she also knew that it was not easy for the Xu family, so she waved her hand and refused, "I'm full, so don't be greedy anymore. You have a lot of family members. But if you don't mind, can you follow me?"
How did you make this soup? Why does it look like there is some medicine in it?"
"That's right." Zhang Xiaoying filled a bowl of soup and handed it to Mrs. Chen, "Aunt Chen, let's try it. It's our first time making it, so we don't know if it tastes good."
There were still chicken and pork belly floating in the bowl, and Mrs. Chen did not refuse. However, she put most of the chicken and pork belly back into the pot, "I just want to taste the soup, and I won't eat the meat."
It’s gone, it can’t be transformed.”
After saying that, Mrs. Chen blew and took a sip. Xu Changsheng held the spatula nervously, waiting for Mrs. Chen's comment.
Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up, "Oh, don't tell me, this soup is a little spicy, but it's very fresh and delicious."
Xu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hey, it tastes good. This is my first time cooking this dish."
"You did it, Changsheng?"
"right."
"Tsk, I can't tell, Xiaoying, your son is pretty good."
Mrs. Chen gave a thumbs up and praised Changsheng.
Xu Changsheng couldn't help but smile.
It feels so good to be praised by others.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiaoying said: "Aunt Chen, please stop praising him, his tail will be raised to the sky in a while!"
"Well done well, you should be praised. I see that your life seems to be different from before. Xiaoying, this is good. The family is harmonious and life will be prosperous." Chen
The old lady spoke earnestly and thoughtfully.
Mrs. Chen is already over sixty now, and is indeed older than Zhang Xiaoying.
But it’s true that she couldn’t stand the original owner before.
