She Lives Well with the Shopping App in the 80s-Chapter 697: The Old Lady is Also Trying Hard to Matchmake the Two of Them
Chapter 697: Chapter 697: The Old Lady is Also Trying Hard to Matchmake the Two of Them
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuemei felt a mix of emotions. She thought Brother Xiao He made a good point, yet something felt off, and she couldn’t pin down what exactly.
Zhao Tianhe also knew that his wife had lived in that family for many years, probably starting to help with chores as soon as she could remember.
He felt lucky that she was born in the city instead of the countryside, otherwise, she would have had to do even more work.
After the wedding, Wang Yuemei settled down and earnestly took on the role of the new bride in the Zhao Family.
She learned some Southern dishes from her mother-in-law.
She gradually figured out that when frying dishes, it was essential to add a bit of chili pepper.
Unlike before when meals consisted mainly of steamed buns, steamed bread, or cooking coarse grains.
Rice was seldom eaten.
Her family, being large, often ate coarse grains; fine grains were saved for feasts during festivals and holidays.
Initially, Little Aunt Zhao was not satisfied with Wang Yuemei, asking who would marry without bringing anything.
But now, seeing how diligent the girl was, not only keeping the house spotlessly clean but also being eager to learn cooking skills and asking when unsure,
"How’s your daughter-in-law these past few days?"
After Little Aunt Zhao and her family had moved, they still came to the Courtyard House at noon since their son and daughter-in-law were working and didn’t come back for lunch.
"She’s diligent alright, just a bit straightforward in her thinking. She’s from Capital City and not familiar with Southern cuisine, but she has learned quite a lot from me these days."
Mrs. Zhao had been to Capital City and knew it was very different from their village.
Starting with the food, people there ate more wheat-based dishes.
And in her village, they also ate wheat-based dishes, but it was not exclusive to that.
Cornmeal, flour, rice, sweet potatoes, and even pumpkin were used as staples in some cases.
In their area, they also had these, considering potatoes a staple food.
In stir-frying, many households favored eating raw scallions.
They preferred to use them more as a seasoning.
Frying dishes would often include a little chili pepper for flavor.
"When does Laosan’s Wife have time to take some photos for us?"
Little Aunt Zhao thought simply, planning to go back after her daughter got married.
"I’m not sure when she’ll be free, but she definitely gets weekends off."
The daughter-in-law was a college student, only resting on holidays, and attended classes the rest of the time.
She had to work during her summer break when visiting.
Now in winter, while in Capital City, the daughter-in-law attended school, having to send the grandkids to school early.
She was never idle.
Previously, squeezing time out to go clothes shopping was tough.
"Shitou’s mother, Xiao He’s mother, we’re making dumplings tonight."
What, making dumplings?
"I’ll go prepare the fillings."
Making dumplings?
Captain Zhao and Little Uncle Zhao also got involved.
With so many people, a large batch was necessary; otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough for so many mouths.
Laosan’s family of four, plus the two elders makes five.
Three from the Fang Family.
Add a niece and Er Dan, that’s ten.
Plus the younger brother and his spouse, that makes twelve.
Each person would eat at least twenty, so more than two hundred dumplings were needed.
Yun Xiaoxiao had come home early today; the children smelled the fragrance but still went to do their homework.
People gradually started coming back.
"Xiao Yang, take some dumplings to Xiao Du."
Just after Fang Chaoyang returned, he heard his grandmother say this.
What, deliver dumplings?
The old lady was really trying to matchmake the two of them.
Typically, there was no contact between them; one was a college student, the other a factory worker, one studied while the other worked. If one didn’t reach out, they hardly met.
"Hurry up and deliver them, your bike is fast."
Grandma Fang handed him a thermal container and sent him to deliver the dumplings.
