Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 665: A gathering filled with the smell of homely fireworks

"Uh-huh, this thing can't be boiled, it has to be fried!"

"It's hard, can it explode?"

"Of course! It's fragrant and crispy when fried, and it's great as a snack or to go with wine! You'll know when I make it for you tonight."

"Well, as long as it tastes good, I'm afraid it would be a waste if I prepared so much!"

"No! I'm just afraid it won't be enough!"

It seems that I have to find some time to go to Yunlai Restaurant. With so many good things, Manager Wan must be very happy.

Yao Qingnian packed some out and prepared to fry them in the evening. These bean dregs cakes are easy to preserve after being dried and can be kept for a long time, just like dried chilies.

After looking at the treasures in the warehouse, Liu Shuyue took her to the pepper field in the backyard. It was early summer now and the weather had become slightly hot. Seeing the green pepper seedlings, Yao Qingnian's mood improved. Sweat oozed from her forehead, but she didn't feel hot at all.

When they returned home, Lu Mingchuan and Lu Huaijin had already caught a big fish.

"This fish was just caught from the river, it's so plump!" Lu Mingchuan and his son helped to take the fish to the well and started processing it.

"Wow, it's so big!" Yao Qingnian looked at the big fish, and his mind was filled with the taste of pickled fish.

"You guys go and take a rest, I'll do it!" Lu Mingchuan said that he could do it.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Call me and I'll cook."

"Let me do it! You've come such a long way and must be tired! Go and take a rest aside!" Liu Shuyue said.

"Mom, we have been resting in the county for several days, and we have also been sightseeing along the way. I am not tired!"

"Well, you're a good cook, come here, and I'll help you!"

"Okay, no problem! Let's prepare other dishes while they process the fish."

In the Lu family's yard, several people were assigned different tasks and everyone was busy preparing dinner, which made Yao Qingnian feel like it was New Year's Day. After a while, Lu Minghai also came over with some wine.

"Uncle!" Yao Qingnian stopped what he was doing and greeted him.

"Hey, Qingnian, you're back. It's good to be back. This house feels like home now!" Lu Mingchuan said happily.

"Brother is right. Now that the two children are back, I feel the house is much more lively. It's not like before when Yinuo went to school and it was just me and my wife at home." Lu Mingchuan interrupted.

"Yeah, I don't know when that brat Daqing from my family will come back."

"I came back just after I found a wife. You and your two sons are still blessed with more luck! I heard that Xiangqian will be going on an imperial examination soon, right?"

"Yes, I was originally going to go this year. If it weren't for the sudden death of the previous emperor, the court would have been in turmoil, and King Jing ascended the throne, which postponed the imperial examination to next year. I would have gone to Beijing to take the exam next year. Now, there is no time to come back."

"Xiang Qian is a promising person, there will definitely be no problem."

Everyone was chatting and laughing.

Lu Minghai also felt emotional. Although Ge was a mixed-up woman, he had to say that the three children she gave birth to were all good and had not been raised badly. Although Daqing was a bit naive, like himself, he had good luck. He served in the army and married a beautiful wife. She was diligent, practical, capable, and filial. He was just a little worried that he might have been deceived this time as the villagers said. He felt in his heart that his son was average in ability and was not worthy of a girl like that. He had thought it would be good if he could find a wife near the village, but this... The boy suddenly came back and said he wanted to marry a girl from the city. He disagreed at first, but there was nothing he could do. Later, when the girl was brought back, she was well-behaved, polite and not restrained, so he no longer objected. After all, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Unexpectedly, the daughter-in-law left after two days. He was still wondering if there was something wrong with him. Lu Daqing comforted him and told him not to think too much. His daughter-in-law really had something going on at home. Others didn't believe her, but we were her family and we had to believe him. Later, Daqing went to find his wife, and he was alone at home, and he was happy and relaxed.

Yes, that child looked like a good person, and should not be like what others said. He heard about Qingnian's return and there were rumors everywhere, but Mingchuan and his family believed that Yao Qingnian was not that kind of person, so he also chose to believe that Tang Huiyun was not that kind of person. Even if she was, it was useless for him to think too much about it, so he just let it go.

Shuangshuang married into the village and lived a good life. She lived in the village. When she missed him, she could be there in a few steps, just like having a new son.

Xiang Qian is also a promising person. Although his family is not well off, he is sensible and motivated and never causes trouble for his family.

With three such great children, what else could he be dissatisfied with? So, thinking this way, he felt extremely happy.

Soon, the fish was processed.

Yao Qingnian cooked a big pot of pickled fish, fried a plate of bean curd cakes, and stir-fried two side dishes. The family sat together and had a simple dinner.

"Qingnian, is this bean dregs cake?" Liu Shuyue asked in disbelief as she looked at the plate of bean dregs cake. How come the bean dregs cake she made was not delicious at all, while Qingnian's smelled so fragrant.

"Yes, mother!"

"This is completely different from what I made! It smells so good!"

"Is this the bean curd cake? Your mother cooked it before and it tasted average." Lu Mingchuan agreed.

"Dad, try it again now."

"Then I'm welcome! I'll eat a piece first." Lu Mingchuan picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, making a "crunching" sound.

"How is it?" Several people looked at him.

"It's fragrant and crispy, it's so delicious. It turns out that the bean curd cake is not bad, but the cooking method is wrong!" Lu Mingchuan's eyes lit up.

Seeing how happily he was eating, Lu Minghai and the others also took a piece and put it in their mouths. It was crunchy and tasted better the more they ate. It had a completely different taste from tofu and he had never eaten anything like it before.

"It's true! Qingnian is really amazing!" Liu Shuyue praised.

"That's right, this cooking skill is really unmatched by ordinary people." Others echoed the praise.

"Okay, if you keep praising me, I'll float to the sky." Yao Qingnian felt embarrassed by their praise. She just took advantage of the modern times and brought here the things that her ancestors studied, hehe.

"Come, let's raise our glasses together to welcome back Huaijin's two children."

"Okay! Come!"

"I want it too, I want to touch it too!"

"Then you can use milk tea instead of wine!"

Everyone raised their glasses, clinked glasses, drank and ate, and the courtyard was filled with the rich atmosphere of homely fireworks...
