My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 223 uses the hand that carries the knife...

"Days are lived by people, and even teeth can bite the tongue, so it’s normal for couples to have their little bumps," Li Xiuli said slowly and clearly.

"If they divorced over every little trivial matter, the brigade wouldn’t have any serious couples left."

She completely disapproved of the idea of getting a divorce just because a couple couldn’t get along.

Lin Tang felt suffocated by these marital views and conventional wisdom.

"Oh, I see."

After the chat, it was the Lin Family’s second branch’s turn to divide the grain.

When Lin Fu saw Lin Tang, his serious face instantly bloomed into an old chrysanthemum’s smile.

"Tangtang is here, too."

After speaking, he pointed at the big pile of grain set aside.

"Second Uncle, that pile is your family’s share of grain, go ahead and pack it up, and when you get back, have your daughter-in-law steam some buns for Tangtang to eat."

The rest of the Lin family, who might as well have been invisible, forced a bitter smile at the uncle’s words.

Yeah, they were all like trash picked from a garbage heap, not worthy of being remembered.

As Lin Lu instructed Lin Qingshan and Lin Qingshui to take out the sacks, he said with good nature, "Tangtang is my own precious daughter, I would never let her be wronged."

His seemingly honest and simple words somehow managed to be incredibly irritating.

Lin Fu felt a lump of frustration in his throat.

As if no one else had a daughter... when he thought about how Aiguo had brought meat back last time and said his daughter had lost weight again, Lin Fu’s brows furrowed with worry.

Lin Lu, along with his two sons, began to bag the grain.

Lin Tang and Li Xiuli helped to hold the sacks open.

Li Xiuli, with Zhou Mei, swept up the wheat grains that had fallen to the ground with brooms.

Working together as a family, they quickly finished bagging the grain.

The three men carried the grain onto the cart and took it back home.

The line behind them was still long, and the villagers who hadn’t yet reached their turn were eagerly waiting.

Lin Tang followed her family back home.

"Tangtang, do you want to eat buns? Or would you like something else?" Li Xiuli asked as she washed her hands.

Before Lin Tang could reply, Goudan, wiping the sweat from his forehead, piped up with his opinion.

"Little aunt, can we have buns, please? Buns are so tasty."

"Choudan wants to eat buns, too."

"Niuniu as well!"

"I’ll go with what everyone wants."

Lin Tang also felt like eating the homemade steamed buns, so she nodded, "Mom, let’s have buns then, make extra."

The others showed pleasure on their faces.

It seemed that the decision to eat buns was a unanimous one.

Drying her hands, Li Xiuli said, "Okay, then buns it is."

Saying this, she headed to the kitchen.

With meat and vegetables at home, including mushrooms they had picked from the base of the mountain, Li Xiuli planned to make several different kinds of buns.

Since the third son was out learning to drive and hadn’t come back, they would steam extra buns so that tomorrow, after warming them up, Tangtang could take a few to her third brother.

With this in mind, Li Xiuli began to assign tasks.

"Today, we’re going to make chive and egg, minced meat and vermicelli, shiitake mushroom and greens, and cabbage and pork buns...

Eldest daughter-in-law, you wash the vegetables, second daughter-in-law, you go cut the chives..."

Ning Xinrou and Zhou Mei immediately sprang into action.

Lin Tang, lingering at the kitchen door, eagerly asked, "Mom, what about me?"

Li Xiuli paused for a moment, then yet again assigned her the task of tending the fire.

"You start by boiling a pot of hot water, and later, Mom will teach you how to make buns."

Lin Tang gladly accepted, "Okay!"

Everyone got busy, and the buns were steamed in no time.

They sent a few buns to the first and third branches, and Goudan went to the old mansion to call over Lin Xiuyuan and Zhao Shuzhen.

The elder couple and their child soon arrived.

Zhao Shuzhen even brought a small basket with her.

"Dad, Mom, you’re here, the buns are just ready, hurry up and eat them while they’re hot," Li Xiuli offered a bamboo tray full of buns to her in-laws.

Ning Xinrou and Zhou Mei each brought out a bowl of mung bean porridge.

Lin Tang brought over a small bowl of chili sauce.

"Grandpa, Grandma, my mom made several kinds of buns today, you guys should try them quickly!"

"This is chili sauce, adding a bit to the bun gives it a unique flavor."

The little girl presented it like a treasured asset, her eyes gleaming with the eagerness of a greedy cat, whetting the appetites of Lin Xiuyuan and Li Xiuli.

Zhao Shuzhen’s face revealed a faint smile, "Good, your grandpa and I will give it a try."

As she spoke, she casually took a bun for Lin Xiuyuan and filled it with a bit of chili sauce.

The willingness to add that bit of spice was thanks to the medicinal wine given by his granddaughter, which made Lin Xiuyuan’s health improve somewhat.

If it had been in the past, spicy foods were completely out of the question for Lin Xiuyuan.

Lin Xiuyuan accepted the bun.

Looking at the bit of chili sauce inside, he gave a helpless wry smile, his voice full of a warm and tender humor.

"Don’t just worry about me, you eat too."

Zhao Shuzhen nodded, then also began eating one herself.

"The second son’s wife has pretty good cooking skills."

That statement was true.

The bun was oily and flavorful, it couldn’t possibly taste bad!

Li Xiuli laughed heartily, "As long as dad and mom like it, that’s all that matters."

A bun paired with a bowl of porridge was simply divine!

The buns, with several different fillings, were all delicious.

Without exception, the Lin family members all stuffed themselves.

After the meal was finished, Zhao Shuzhen handed the small basket she brought to Lin Tang.

"Tangtang, this is the red bean cake your grandpa made, take it to town, and have it for breakfast with your sister-in-law and the others."

Zhao Shuzhen’s cooking skills were part of the ’dark cuisine’, practiced for most of her life, yet still very average.

In contrast, Lin Xiuyuan, having watched her cook a few times when he was young, managed to do it quite skillfully.

The food he made was quite out of the ordinary.

However, Zhao Shuzhen, cherishing her husband’s health, always restrained him from entering the kitchen.

Using those hands accustomed to wielding a knife, he managed to develop mediocre culinary skills.

Lin Tang’s memory of her grandfather’s cooking still lingered from her previous life.

It was a bowl of fish soup.

Fresh!

Fragrant!

Without a trace of fishiness.

The taste lingering in the mouth was endless.

Hearing that the red bean cake was made by her own grandpa, Lin Tang’s eyes lit up.

"Grandpa made it, huh? Thank you, grandma and grandpa."

Zhao Shuzhen had long known that her cooking skills couldn’t compare to Xiuyuan’s.

Far from being angry about her granddaughter’s reaction, she felt a bit proud.

"You clever girl! You know your grandpa’s cooking is good."

"Take care at work, make sure you rest enough and look after yourself."

After showing her concern with these words, she left with Lin Xiuyuan.

Lin Tang watched her grandparents’ figures receding into the distance.

They supported each other, exchanging glances from time to time.

That unspoken understanding that no one else could penetrate was enviable.

Such a plain and simple happiness!

Having seen Lin Xiuyuan and Zhao Shuzhen off, Lin Tang mentioned to her family that someone was interested in buying the vegetables from their private plot.

Li Xiuli exclaimed in surprise, "A leader wants to buy our vegetables? What is the county supply and marketing co-op lacking, exactly..."

Inwardly, Lin Tang thought to herself that you have no idea about the power of the spirit liquid; outwardly, she explained seriously.

"Our vegetables grow well, there’s not even a bug bite on them. Look how the tomatoes and cucumbers are growing..."

"The chives we steamed with the buns today also had an extraordinary flavor, it’s only normal for the people in the county to be interested, what’s so strange about that?"

Li Xiuli nodded, "True, it’s your call on this. But who do you think we should send to deliver the vegetables?"

Seeing that her mom seemed to have some ideas, Lin Tang asked, "What do you think, Mom?"

"Either Shuanzi or Ziqiang would do..." Li Xiuli was rarely indecisive.

Shuanzi had done a favor for their daughter, while Ziqiang was a son of the Honghua family, one owed by reason, the other by sentiment.

Lin Tang fell silent, "..."

If it were up to her, anyone would do, since it was just one dollar a month anyway.
