Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
She was still busy.
Liu Shi did not bother her. She carried the basket and walked towards Li Xiao, who was starting a fire in front of the stove.
She picked the second largest peach in the basket and handed it to her son-in-law.
“Come, try it!” SHe smiled.
Li Xiao glanced at Lin Xiaoyue, who was secretly smiling at him. He quickly got up and took the peach.
“Thank you, mother!” He smiled and thanked her.
“No need to thank me!” Liu Shi smiled from ear to ear.
She liked her son-in-law more and more.
He was hardworking, good to his daughter, and filial.
“Alright, 1 won’t disturb you two,” Liu Shi’s gaze swept across their faces before she left.
Hehe, as a mother, she was tactful…
After Liu Shi left, Lin Xiaoyue laughed out loud.
Li Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoyue with a puzzled expression.
What is she laughing at?
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked at the peach in Li Xiao’s hand.
Then, he looked at the big peach that she put at the side.
“It seems that mom still dotes on me more.” She said with a smug look on her face.
Ever since Li Xiao came, her mother’s attitude towards her future son-in-law was getting better and better. She had been a little jealous recently.
However, nothing beats a mother’s love.
Li Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.
“If you like it, this is for you too.” As he spoke, he placed the peach in his hand next to Lin Xiaoyue’s peach.
When the two peaches were placed together, Li Xiao felt that they were exceptionally “compatible”.
Lin Xiaoyue blushed.
“Watch the fire. The pot is not hot anymore!” She said to Li Xiao.
“Oh.”
Only then did he go back to work.
After dinner, Lin Xiaoyue ate the big peach before going to work.
There was a lot of work tonight, so they had to make double the amount of cold cakes before they could rest.
Li Xiao and Liu Shi went to the mill to grind the rice, while Lin Xiaoyue went to mix the lime water.
After she was almost done with the preparations, she began to make the cold cakes.
After four hours, Lin Xiaoyue realized that it was already 1 o’clock in the morning.
Glancing at her newly mixed lime water, Lin Xiaoyue couldn’t help but stretch her neck and arms.
She was finally done.
Fortunately, after hiring someone, she did not have to make cold cakes at night anymore.
But…
She looked at the two large water tanks in the courtyard.
It was already so late, but Li Xiao was still fetching water.
As they made more cold cakes, the two tanks of water would not be enough.
She had to order two more tanks from Mr. Jin tomorrow.
It just so happened that they could be delivered.
It was already late. Lin Xiaoyue didn’t wait for Li Xiao and went to take a shower.
She wanted to wash her hair, but she could only do it tomorrow.
The next day.
Early in the morning, it was very lively in the Liu residence.
Apart from Aunt Wang, Wang Erya, and Wang Shuanzi, Li Laishun was also there.
Lin Xiaoyue asked Li Laishun and Wang Shuanzi to go and get the cold cakes themselves, but all four of them went.
By the time she finished her breakfast and came out, almost all the cold cakes in the stream had been brought out.
Li Laishun and Wang Shuanzi ordered 40 buckets of cold cakes and loaded them into the cart. Then, they asked Lin Xiaoyue for a large jar of brown sugar water before setting off.
Li Xiao led the ox-cart out.
They loaded the remaining 35 buckets of cold cakes into the cart.
“I’ve prepared the lime water. When Aunt Jiang comes over later, the two of you can grind the rice and then start making the cold cakes.” Lin Xiaoyue said to Wang Erya..
