“No need, take a break these days,” Tong Sanlang quickly shook his head.
The person who was weak yesterday was about to faint. Although he looks better now, it’s still better to rest more during his period.
“But…” Qiao Xiaomai started to speak, Tong Sanlang hurriedly interrupted her, “If you really feel guilty, make that elbows and Braised Pork again in a few days. I’ll send the pork to you. Um… and the periwinkles you sent for the first time.”
Qiao Xiaomai blinked, nodded and said, “Okay.”
What she was good at, was only cooking.
“Then, 1’11 go first.” Having said what needed to be said, Tong Sanlang took another glance at Qiao Xiaomai, preparing to leave.
Qiao Dami, who had been staying by the side in silence, was somewhat reluctant to let go, “Brother Tong, call me and my sister next time you go fishing, my sister is very good at fishing.”
Hearing this, Tong Sanlang involuntarily glanced at Qiao Xiaomai and then asked with a smile, “How good?”
Qiao Dami immediately became excited, “All the little fishes swimming by her were caught into the pottery jar, none of them could escape!”
Qiao Xiaomai felt uneasy, rubbing her nose. She was cheating using the space…
Tong Sanlang seemed to believe it and looked at Qiao Xiaomai with a smile, “Let’s go fishing together next time.”
Qiao Xiaomai looked into his eyes with clear pupils, “Depends.”
Her answer was perfunctory, hoping Tong Sanlang would understand her meaning.
Tong Sanlang laughed, his eyes slightly curved, he looked at Qiao Dami, “Dami, remember to call me next time.”
It didn’t matter if Qiao Xiaomai resisted him, he could start with Qiao Dami.
This little guy was naive and cute, diligent and well-behaved – he liked her a lot.
Qiao Dami did not disappoint his expectations and nodded vigorously, “Okay!”
Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai chuckled twice.
Tong Sanlang looked at her and smiled back, then left.
As soon as he left, Qiao Xiaomai immediately pointed at the jar of small fish and said to Qiao Dami, “Go, clean up these small fish, scale them, cut off their heads and go guts. 1’11 fry them in oil when I come back from the mountain.”
Long fingered small fish, the most delicious when fried in oil.
Qiao Dami responded. Carrying the pottery jar, she went to the well. Qiao Xiaomai locked the courtyard door and went up the mountain.
Speaking of Tong Sanlang:
When he got home, only Tong Tiehu was there. He couldn’t help asking, “Where are dad and mom?”
“They went to town, took ErLang’s parents and your grandma with them.” Tong Tiehu was turning over the account book in the courtyard, not even lifting his head as he replied.
“Is dad angry?” Tong Sanlang sat beside him.
Tong Tiehu snorted and cursed, “Undutiful bastard. He has been complaining for years that I spent half of the silver from our storage, now seeing Xiaomai, he doesn’t want to let her go. He’s an idiot.”
Children should not speak ill of their parents, Tong Sanlang’s words fell silent.
Tong Tiehu was upset. Just now, before Tong Xingda left, he had another quarrel with him. Faced with Tong Sanlang, he couldn’t help but swear at the idiot, “The business of Jimei Inn has improved a lot this month. Just because of the cold jelly noodles, the income from all the twenty-plus stores came to over 20,000 taels. Plus with the Tofu and Bean Curd, although there is competition from Zuixian Building, this month’s total income is more than 30,000 taels more than last month.”
“He still has a big appetite, he wants to get his hands on Xiaomai. Do you know what he said? He said to marry Xiaomai first, and after everything is settled, you divorce her, and then marry a wife of matching social status.”
“Idiot! He’s an idiot!”
Tong Sanlang was stunned, at a loss for words.
If he really dared to do this to Qiao Xiaomai with her abilities, she could probably pull out a dagger out of nowhere while he was sleeping and stab him hard..
