Chapter 42

    The cooks hired by the Chen family came here yesterday, and the Chen family even sent people to the entrance of the village at night, and they agreed to come over early this morning to cook, but no one came over after waiting, thinking that they got up late, and didn’t take it too seriously. Seeing that it was getting late, the eldest son of the Chen family hurriedly said that he would go outside the village to pick up people.

    The eldest son of the Chen family ran out to pick up the cook, only then did he know that today an accident happened in the city. The cook came from another village and took a bullock cart, but the bullock went berserk for some reason on the way, and the cart overturned. Several people in the cart fell into the ditch.

    Fortunately, they were not washed away by the river, but the head cook broke his back when he fell, and the passers-by carried him to the clinic.

    It was no wonder that the cook didn’t come here to help. The Chen family couldn’t blame him. At this time, the cook couldn’t careless about helping the Chen family. He didn’t know if the waist could be used. Not to mention cooking, he could only lie flat on the bed.

    After hearing Xu He’s words, Mrs. Chen went out to look for Xu Shaochun.

    “Ah? The cook, the cook can’t come?”

    Xu Shaochun looked at the sincere faces of the Chen family who came to ask her for help. She didn’t feel the sense of honor that people needed her, but was taken aback.

    “Auntie, it’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s just that I really can’t get on the table with those little skills. After all, it’s not a matter of three tables of dishes. Even if I can cook two dishes, I can’t compare to a cook. If the dishes are broken, won’t I ruin my cousin’s banquet? The niece really can’t bear this burden!”

    Mrs. Chen didn’t know that Xu Shaochun was telling the truth, so she thought that she just pretended to be modest and said: “Originally, you came here to have a feast of joy, but I didn’t expect something to happen to the cook, and there is nothing I can do, and you need to spend more time to help. Aunt won’t have any complain, she only wants to hold today’s banquet. If they bring the new couple back later in the afternoon, if you can’t hold the banquet in time or delay the time, won’t it make your cousin’s mother in law’s family feel uncomfortable. ”

    “Shaochun, just do it, I’ll ask your cousin to give you a big red envelope. It doesn’t have to be as good as that cook, the folks are all sensible people, and they will definitely not say anything, right?”

The big guy figured it out, they nodded and said yes to the matter, and persuaded Xu Shaochun for a while: “Good girl, you only need to agree.”

    ”

That’s right, you are very skilled. Once you break your courage, you may be invited to be the cook for all major and minor matters in the village.”

    Xu Shaochun still had something to say when dealing with someone, but now that everyone let her do it, she  immediately felt a little overwhelmed, at a loss and didn’t know how to refuse. Marrying into the Fei’s family, she hadn’t cooked all by herself, and Fei’s mother seemed to be afraid that she wouldn’t know what her son liked to eat, so she had to cook by herself.

    She usually helped out. Two days ago when her husband returned to the academy, Fei’s mother also started to let her make two simple meals for herself, but the meals for the three of them were simple, and the days when Fei xiucai was not at home were difficult. They ate extremely frugally, with the aim of filling their stomach, and they didn’t pay much attention to the taste at all, Xu Shaochun naturally got away with it easily.

    There was no doubt that cooking on such occasion would reveal the truth. She asked for help and wanted Fei’s mother to say something for her. She was the wife of a scholar, and she wouldn’t be a cook in the future.

    She never thought that Fei’s mother said: “Shaochun, you can help your aunt.”

    When Xu Shaochun was struck by a thunderbolt, she didn’t know how to end, but fortunately Liu Xianglan came out: “Oh, Shaochun caught some wind and cold, isn’t it a bad thing for her to cook!”

    Hearing this, Xu Shaochun immediately put on a show and coughed slightly.

    Mother Chen’s expression was a bit unsightly, and she was a bit embarrassed to get off the stage. Liu Xianglan hurriedly pulled Xu He over: “Why don’t you let He ge’er cook, he can also cook.”

    Xu He was watching the excitement, but the excitement suddenly fell on top of his head. He broke away from Liu Xianglan’s hand without a trace, and he didn’t want to be his second sister’s shield anymore.

    Chen’s mother glanced at Xu He, her eyebrows were closed and she didn’t answer. She felt that Liu Xianglan really didn’t take their family’s important affairs seriously, and she just wanted to get off by bringing someone here at random. How could she be happy?.

    “Does He ge’er know how to cook?”

    “Mrs. Chen, why don’t you let He ge’er do it. If he doesn’t do well, forgive me.”

    Suddenly Zhang Fangyuan’s voice sounded in the crowd, and Xu He turned his head to look at him, eyes wide open, he didn’t expect Zhang Fangyuan also let him do it.

    Zhang Fangyuan didn’t speak, just gave him a look that you could do it.
