Her Cultivation Diary-Chapter 1113 - 1089. Anxiety arises
Chapter 1113: 1089. Anxiety arises
With beautiful dreams in her heart, Lun Jing even found the crispy rice sweet!
But it’s true her son is single, and she saw how Song Tan lacked nothing, not sure she would even fancy him! While eating, she noticed another girl at the table eating heartily.
This girl had a ponytail, looked like she was in her early twenties, her skin wasn’t as nice as Song Tan’s but still fair and delicate, and she was good-looking...
"Is she a relative of our family too?" she asked Wu Lan.
Before Wu Lan could speak, the aunt beside them chuckled, "She’s the village’s Doctor Xiaoguo! That girl is a great doctor, very talented, only three years older than our Yanping!"
As she spoke, she looked over with eyes that seemed to overflow with sweetness.
You know, back in the summer, when Zhang Yanping said he liked a girl, she got so excited she spent half the night rummaging through their finances with her husband, Zhang Hong!
To be honest, she even thought about which kindergarten for the grandchildren, who would pick them up every day!
Later, Wu Lan called to say it might be Doctor Xiaoguo, and she pondered the saying "A girl three years older is a golden brick," feeling delighted inside.
But then!
What happened in summer, by autumn had faded away quietly; when asked, it was always "Doctor Xiaoguo is busy, she’s making balls..."
This wasn’t a lie, Doctor Xiaoguo was indeed busy making balls, with the Golden Sakura harvesting in autumn, she was too busy collecting payments to make balls as if practicing iron sand palm...
Honestly, even though the costs were much higher, she earned as much in half a year as she did in two years before!
And still, production couldn’t keep up!
Yet no matter how busy, the aunt wasn’t young once? Those genuinely in love young folks would talk to each other until two or three in the morning!
Seeing Zhang Yanping’s evasive looks, what didn’t she understand?
The excitement was one-sided! Moreover, with Zhang Yanping being so careless, whether he’s interested is another matter!
Probably that rascal was using her as a cover!
It’s lucky for him the girl didn’t know, otherwise, she’d hit him out the door!
But since there had been this misunderstanding before, the aunt’s heart often dwelled on it, and now seeing Lun Jing ask, she got anxious.
Let’s not talk about anything else, her son was really charming and handsome, with delicate features!
Good-looking enough for someone coarse like the aunt to use a four-word phrase! But no matter how good-looking, he was still single.
Being single was a big threat!
Thinking of Doctor Xiaoguo, the aunt spoke directly.
Lun Jing didn’t mean anything by it, just everyone at the table was from Lao Song’s family, and she was curious.
Doctor Xiaoguo swallowed the food in her mouth and smiled: "Aunt, my name is Guo Dong, I’m the village doctor."
The aunt stared at her, thinking how could such a lovely girl ever fancy a mafia son?
She felt utterly disheartened.
Seeing this, what else didn’t Lun Jing understand?
Poor parents everywhere, worrying about their single sons!
She glanced outside: "Isn’t Tantan’s cousin sitting down to eat?"
"We’ve invited him," Wu Lan said, "but he wants to drink with his friends, young people may not want to talk inside, so they’re sitting outside..."
But that table’s atmosphere was good too, Boss Chang, Old Zhao... talking all about business insights, the two young ones listened to gain some knowledge.
Song Tan got excited: "Mom, I feel brother Wu Lei has become much more reliable recently, at this rate, come next spring he might really build up the family cattle business."
Wu Lan glanced outside, sighed yet looked pleased:
"Your Leilei has a good foundation, just tends to drift, not very steadfast, easily influenced by what others do or say."
"Actually, since he started raising cattle, and studying courses every day, once his mind settles, he seems rather steady!"
If it weren’t for the uncle and aunt still sticking to their posts, Wu Lan wouldn’t have said this.
Everyone at the table was familiar, hearing this made them laugh, clearly remembering Wu Lei’s impulsive nature.
Only the big aunt focused on the cost of today’s meal.
Not that the meal was super tasty, but—
"Handling all this costs a lot, doesn’t it?"
She knew the prices at her brother’s family’s shop, twenty-one per kilo, and this pork could sell for seventy or eighty, yet they just served fifteen or sixteen tables like that...
Oh dear! Oh dear!
The big aunt thought about this and felt a pain in her heart, imagining three years of her family’s food expenses squandered like that, it hurt beyond words!
But she wasn’t hosting the meal, and she didn’t make the dishes, at this moment all she could do was try to salvage something:
"Um... Wu Lan, later I’ll go pack some leftovers, if there’s anything clean I can take home to eat."
Wu Lan helplessly said: "Aunt, just look at our table, what’s left?" freewёbnoνel-com
Everyone ate neatly, it wasn’t a mess, but there barely was anything left. These dinner scraps, frugal as the big aunt, were not something she wanted.
Song Tan best understands the big aunt, and now she joked consolingly:
"Big aunt, don’t worry, leftovers go to the dogs... but for you and my aunt and uncle, take a pork leg when you leave, and slice some meat."
"At home, you can enjoy it slowly however you wish."
The big aunt froze, then shook her head: "I don’t want pig trotters, don’t give me pig trotters, it’s all big bones, not enjoyable—better give more sliced meat!"
She was quite experienced: "Take the meat home, blanch it in hot water, cut it into thin slices, then stir-fry with sauce, add more veggies and stew into a pot, it’s aromatic and goes well with rice, and it’s enjoyable!"
Even the longer it stews, the more flavorful it becomes.
Just as she finished speaking, Seventh Uncle snorted: "Pearls before swine."
The big aunt knew well enough what he’s like, still remembers the old man not giving Qiaoqiao the house—although Qiaoqiao didn’t suffer any loss.
Yet.
The big aunt stubbornly said: "What’s the big deal about pearls before swine? Sell the pearls, I can buy loads of premium feed! The cow eats happily—isn’t that right, Tantan?"
"If you sell this pig trotter, could you get a lot of regular pork for your aunt?"
Of course, the big aunt was sassy but considerate, and even explained to the aunt: "Don’t misunderstand, I don’t want the pig trotter thinking Tantan could sell it for money."
"Mainly because Tantan knows we’re frugal, our food expenses are fixed... such good pig trotters, I couldn’t bear to add big spices..."
"Better not waste them. However, it’s different for you, I still remember when Wu Lan first married, she cooked so well, and being her sister, your skills must be even better!"
"These good pig trotters deserve to pair with your great culinary skills!"
At the dinner table, Lun Jing was dumbfounded.
Just... your Lao Song’s family, talk and act with such emotional intelligence?
It’s over, it’s over, she started to panic—she didn’t know anything herself!
