When they returned to their resting place and put down the rice noodles that someone helped to buy, Mei Qingyao still had some lingering fears: "...women are so scary."

Qiao Huaping smiled half-smile: "Huh?"

Mei Qingying was innocent and confused: "Huh?"

Mei Qingyao was startled, and immediately explained: "Ah, no, I mean...then who! Auntie!"

Qiao Huaping rubbed Mei Qingyao's little head vigorously: "Are your arms tired? Let me rub it for you?"

Mei Qingyao immediately made an excuse: "I'm not tired!"

Just kidding, he is already eight years old, a little man who is indomitable!

But Qiao Huaping still helped Mei Qingyao loosen the acupoints on her arm regardless of her reasons.

Mei Qingyao blushed a little, but still secretly smiled.

... Well, he admitted that he likes to be so close to his little stepmother.

But not long after, Gu Ling came over with a knife of pork in his hand.

The pork was fat and thin, and it was red, and it looked like it was freshly cut.

Gu Ling was very happy, she shyly called out, "Aunt Qiao."

I couldn't hide my joy in my words.

On her head was a beautiful silk flower, which Qiao Huaping had given her earlier.

Gu Ling is in his early teens, the age when he loves the most beauty. He usually runs away from famine on the road and doesn't have time to take care of himself.Currently stationed next to Ningshui County, there are quite a few people coming and going outside, so Gu Ling quietly dug out this silk flower and put it on her head.

The beautiful silk flowers set off her pretty little face, and Gu Ling shyly took a picture of herself facing the water, only to feel that when facing the scrutiny of those passing by, her waist straightened a lot.

Qiao Huaping also praised emphatically: "Our Ling'er is very beautiful today."

Gu Ling was even happier.

She thinks that Qiao Huaping is like a big sister of hers. Although Qiao Huaping is young but has a high seniority, she has to call "Aunt Qiao", but in her heart, Qiao Huaping is like an amiable and adoring sister next door .

She was also happy when Qiao Huaping called her Ling'er.

As soon as Gu Ling was happy, her tongue stumbled a little. She didn't have time to say anything, so she stuffed the pork knife in Qiao Huaping's hand.

Qiao Huaping refused to answer, and said in surprise: "Ling'er, it's very good, what is this for?"

Gu Ling blushed and said with a smile: "Aunt Qiao, grandma asked me to bring it for you. Grandma said, thanks to you, life at home has improved a lot. It just so happened that my uncle followed the shopping team into the county town today. , grandma asked him to cut some meat and bring it back...you can take it quickly, Aunt Qiao. Grandma said, if you don’t pick it up, you’ll be estranged from our family.”

With that said, Gu Ling hung the hemp rope in Qiao Huaping's hand.

Qiao Huaping smiled helplessly, but still took it.

However, she told Gu Ling to wait for a while, took some pastries out of the bag, and wrapped them neatly in oiled paper.

Qiao Huaping explained vaguely: "I entrusted someone else to buy it, you can take it back."

Gu Ling naturally refused to answer, Qiao Huaping pretended to be angry, put on a stern face, and used what Mrs. Gu said earlier to block Gu Ling: "If you don't answer, then you are cheating on me."

Gu Ling was young, and Qiao Huaping's stern face just fooled her.

The little girl took the pastry a little uneasy, and Qiao Huaping changed her face in seconds, and smiled again: "Baby, go back quickly."

Gu Ling was stunned by Qiao Huaping's face-changing technology, and then coaxed by Qiao Huaping's words "good boy", her face was flushed, and she carried the cake back in a daze.

Mei Qingyao and Mei Qinghuang only felt that Qiao Huaping's operation was familiar.

Mei Qingyu glanced at her elder brother and younger brother, and shook her head.

Familiar?

That is natural.

Because sometimes their little stepmother fools them like this!

However, Mei Qingyu didn't intend to say anything.

Anyway, everyone was very happy to be coaxed...

……

The piece of pork that Mrs. Gu asked Gu Ling to send was not light. Qiao Huaping held it in his hand and weighed it. It was estimated to weigh a catty and a half.

She thought for a while, went to clean her hands, poured out some white flour, and prepared to knead the dough.

Mei Qinghuang hurried over and squatted beside Qiao Huaping: "Mom, what do you want to eat delicious?"

Qiao Huaping smiled and said: "Grandma Gu asked your sister Ling'er to bring over the meat. Let's make pork belly with pickled vegetables and eat it. I will make some lotus leaf pancakes with noodles. When the time comes Eat the meat in lotus leaf cakes."

Qiao Huaping spoke concisely, but Mei Qinghuang's mouth watered.

He volunteered to help Qiao Huaping cut the meat.

This is not the first time that Mei Qinghuang has helped Qiao Huaping. Qiao Huaping discovered that the youngest in her family not only loves to eat, but is also very talented in how to cook delicious food.

For example, she has only taught this knife skill once, and this little guy can learn it very well.

Qiao Huaping felt that this little guy might be a chef in the future.

She was quite reassured about Mei Qinghuang's knife skills, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the meat should be blanched first, washed with warm water and then cooked; when it is cooked, cut into thin long cubes... ...When you cut it later, you must be careful, you know?"

Mei Qinghuang grinned, showing a toothless smile: "Got it, mother!"

Qiao Huaping took advantage of the time when the noodles were fermenting, and went to a house in the village that usually prepared a lot of dried plum vegetables, and bought some dried plum vegetables.

Originally, the family was not willing to accept the money, so Qiao Huaping was a little helpless, and directly stuffed the money into the belt of the youngest son of the family, turned around and ran away with the bag of dried plums.

Qiao Huaping soaked the dried plums and vegetables, and Mei Qinghuang had already blanched the pork belly, adding ingredients and cooking again.

As for the "materials" added, Qiao Huaping used local materials most of the time because he was in the wild and had no conditions and the spices were expensive.

Mei Qinghuang was fascinated by the fact that he learned a lot from watching Qiao Huaping cook these days. He looked good and put a few commonly seen herbal medicines to remove fishy smell and increase fragrance.

Qiao Huaping nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Sister Du came back angrily holding Bai Feiye, walking fast, as if she was afraid of being overtaken by someone.

Bai Feiye didn't see his mother for half an afternoon, and he was very excited when he saw Qiao Huaping.

Qiao Huaping smiled and wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and took Bai Feiye from Sister Du's arms: "Sister, why are you so angry? Little Aye is not good?"

Sister Du immediately denied it: "No way! Our little Aye is the most obedient doll in the world. I love it too late. How could he be so disobedient? How could he be mad at me?"

Qiao Huaping gently shook Bai Feiye in his arms, and looked at Sister Du with a smile, as if asking, what's wrong?

Sister Du let out a deep breath: "It's not the couple from the Liu family who are making a fuss!"

Sister Du was indignant: "I said earlier that the couple of the Liu family had plots against our little Aye, and seeing them today, they really are!"
