Su Xiaomu followed Chen back home with a confused look on her face. As soon as she entered the house and before she could sit down, Chen started to lose his temper at home.

"Aren't you happy to go back to your parents' house?"

Mrs. Yin followed Su Xiaomu into the kitchen to help, and even closed the kitchen door specially.

Su Xiaomu took out the eggs from the kitchen cabinet.

Mrs. Yin followed her instructions and washed the surface of the eggs one by one.

"Tell your sister-in-law that your second sister-in-law had a quarrel with her family?"

"That's not the case. I just met Zhao's aunt on the road. She spoke harshly and said that my husband-in-law couldn't pass the examination and all the money we spent on him studying would be wasted."

Su Xiaomu actually wanted to ask about the girl from the Zhao family, but she was too embarrassed to gossip about Gu Jingcheng's beauty, so she could only make insinuations and see what the Yin family had to say.

Sure enough, when she mentioned Aunt Zhao, Yin's eyes first flashed with disgust.

Then he said with a clear face: "If you put it this way, I understand. Your second sister-in-law and her are also old enemies. She loses her temper every time she comes back after an argument. The family has long been used to it."

Mrs. Yin washed the eggs and put them into the pot to cook. She covered the pot, turned her back and looked at Su Xiaomu, who had been silent, and said, "Have your second sister-in-law told you that the Zhao girl almost

She married into our family."

"Indeed... I said it."

Su Xiaomu had an embarrassed look on her face, but she kept saying in her heart: Gossip! I want to hear gossip!

Gu Jingcheng, he looked like a scholar and aloof all day long. Although he was really good-looking, educated and aloof, Su Xiaomu's eyes were itchy and he couldn't see.

How could Su Xiaomu feel like he was reading a story about a famous scholar in the village and his confidante? Yin continued to tell the story.

"The reason why the Zhao girl did not marry into our family is because her mother thought our family was poor and looked down upon our family.

He also said that a scholar should not be vague when marrying a wife, so why should he give a bride price of five taels of silver? Do you think my mother will agree?"

Mrs. Yin probably thought of some not so good memory, her expression changed slightly, and she became more disgusted with Aunt Zhao.

"Although there are scholars in the family who can be exempted from the land tax, why does it cost nothing for my third uncle to study in the city? They are obviously looking for trouble with our family."

"At that time, your second sister-in-law was not in good health. She had an emergency in the middle of the night and had to take a bullock cart to see a doctor.

Then Aunt Zhao took your second sister-in-law to prevent her from seeing a doctor because of the fact that the marriage was not settled, and almost caused her to not recover from that time. No, the two of them have a big feud. "

When Mrs. Yin talked about other people's business, she looked much more excited than usual: "But you don't have to worry, later my mother came to find Aunt Zhao in person, and even scolded her daughter. We finally got it right."

It’s because we got rid of the relationship with his family.”

"So this is ah."

Su Xiaomu had a look of sudden realization on her face, but in her heart she felt that the gossip was not exciting enough. She was just planning to make up her mind some more. The eggs were cooked and she had to make the marinade.

Mix the leftover spices and tea leaves at home, add salt to the sauce, mix them all in a bowl and stir them together.

After the eggs were taken out of the pot, the cold water was cooled. Su Xiaomu smashed the surface of the eggshell with the back of a knife, then put it into a clay pot, poured a ladle of water, and mixed the spices into it and cooked it.

After almost half an hour, the fire was turned down, and after simmering for almost an hour, Su Xiaomu took a few marinated tea eggs and cut them open. After a while, the whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of eggs and marinade mixed together.

Ask her to start secreting saliva in her mouth.

This is simply the smell engraved into DNA.

No one in this world can refuse the delicious taste of tea eggs.

"Sister-in-law, will you try one first?"

Su Xiaomu enthusiastically fed Mrs. Yin a piece, and after seeing her clapping her hands, she couldn't wait to eat another piece herself.

Then he went to find Mr. Li.

"Mom, these are tea eggs, which are much more flavorful than white water eggs."

Su Xiaomu handed the eggs to Mrs. Li with a smile. She felt a little pity when she saw two eggs cut at once, but seeing the two daughters-in-law staring at her expectantly, she couldn't say much.

In addition, the egg tasted really fragrant, so she couldn't help but take it and take a bite. When she understood the taste, Mrs. Li's face was full of disbelief.

"Is this made with tea leaves?"

She held the egg back and forth and couldn't believe it. There were so many cracks on the egg white. Were they caused by the tea leaves?

"It's made with tea leaves, but there are some other things in it. If mom thinks it tastes good, my wife will cook it for you every day."

Su Xiaomu diligently handed Mrs. Li another piece of egg: "There are more in the kitchen."

"Mom doesn't like it, give it to Jingcheng and the others."

This time, Mrs. Li always looked kind and gentle, and she spoke very gently to Su Xiaomu.

"You are good at your craftsmanship, so you can do whatever you like, but as I said, everything should be done closely to Jingcheng."

She still knew how many eggs there were in the house, so she, an old woman, ate them all. What did Jingcheng and the others eat?

"I kept it for my husband and the others. My sister-in-law took half of it and gave it to my father. My husband is filial and told me in the morning that although he was busy studying, he knew in his heart that his mother and father were good to him, and his sister-in-law and brothers also looked after him.

, he knows it all in his heart."

Su Xiaomu put in a good word for Gu Jingcheng.

Sure enough, Mrs. Li became even happier after hearing this. She asked her to bring eggs to Gu Jingcheng and the others, while she went into the house to talk to Mr. Gu.

Su Xiaomu went to find Mrs. Chen with the remaining eggs.

As for the incident just now, she actually liked Chen's temperament a little bit.

"Second sister-in-law, try it too, it's much more flavorful than white water eggs."

Su Xiaomu looked at Mrs. Chen with a smile on her face, and took out the tea eggs to Mrs. Chen like a treasure.

"Second sister-in-law raises so many chickens at home, don't look down on them."

"My parents are not willing to take out such precious things to eat at home. But thanks to Xiaomu, my mother has been very generous these days and is willing to give us eggs to eat."

Mrs. Chen thought that Su Xiaomu was going to deliver the eggs directly over her, but she didn't expect that she would come to give her one.

All those weird words in my stomach were blocked in my mouth, so I took a piece of it and ate it. Don't tell me, this egg is really delicious.

After taking advantage of Su Xiaomu, Chen's attitude became much softer than before.

She took Su Xiaomu's arm and acted like a good sister: "You must remember what we talked about before about the veil."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about the veil. I'll go to the city tomorrow to help you take care of the matter. I'll get the money back with you."

She adheres to her standard of being kind to others, and she can have a good relationship with as many people as possible in this family.

The two were chatting away, and several children came up to join in the fun.

Su Xiaomu divided some eggs for them and asked Gu Ruotong about his embroidery of handkerchiefs.

She was also curious about why Gu Ruonan didn't learn a craft from Chen, even though he was still young.

If you don’t embroider handkerchiefs to support the family, then in this society men farm and women weave, and those who can embroider are better off than those who can’t, so it’s easier to get married anyway, right?

She lowered her head gently to talk to the children, and from time to time wiped the egg foam from the corners of their mouths with a handkerchief.

When Gu Jingcheng came in with a hoe, he saw this warm room.
