Xu Hui smiled and motioned Xiao Dazong to pass the scissors to him. She picked up the scissors and cut off the yarn, took off the cloth from the loom and shook it: ”I'll make you some clothes with this!”
After the wedding, Xu Hui tidied up her things and realized that besides his army clothes, Xiao Dayong only had a few pieces of old clothes. Even the clothes he wore when he married were actually modified using his third uncle's wedding clothes.
Xu Hui thought, she used the cloth that she made for the first time to make a set of clothes for Xiao Da Yong.
Xiao Da Yong's eyes turned red. He never thought that Xu Hui would be in such a rush to finish the cellar room and weave the cloth for him. Of course, Xu Hui did not think that way, but Xiao Dazong had already decided that he was very touched. Ever since his mother passed away, he had not worn clothes made by his family for a long time.
It was getting late, so Xu Hui let Xiao Dazong take the cloth and led Niuniu back to her room.
The new stove was not yet dry, and it would have to be dried tomorrow before it could be used.
However, they had not eaten dinner yet. Xu Hui asked Xiao Dazong to build a simple stove with a piece of scrap brick. She stuffed the firewood into the fire, scooped some water from the water jar in the corner, carefully cleaned the new pot twice, and put it on the stove to add some water to heat.
She then took out an oily paper bag from the shelf that had been made from an old table. Inside the bag was the steamed bun she had bought from town, afraid that the Xiao family would not cook for them without waiting for them to open fire.
As expected, Xiao Li's disease had instructed him not to eat with the three of them from this afternoon onwards. Xu Hui could not help but rejoice that his cold and emotionless judgement of the Xiao family was indeed accurate.
After heating up the steamed buns, Xu Hui took out three eggs from the basket. After thinking for a while, she took out two more eggs, which were given to him by Aunt Wei. She kept more than twenty chickens in her house and ate five or six eggs a day.
The meatbuns with white noodles and the poached eggs with white sugar. This was a delicious dish that Xiao Dayong and Niuniu didn't even dare to imagine.
After Xu Hui set up the table, she noticed that both Xiao Da Yong and Niu Niu were looking at him without eating. She could not help but frown, ”What's wrong? You don't like it? ”
”No, it's not that. Wife, I'm a boorish person. You just need to eat some bract rice. You and Niu Niu will eat this poached egg bun!” Xiao Dazong could only eat meat and pancakes after winning a war. He had never eaten anything as delicious as this at home. When he thought about how his wife used dowry money to buy this, how could he eat it?
Xu Hui was angry. ”You can eat whatever you like if I tell you to eat. You can even eat a few meals at home. Even if you don't eat me and Niuniu, you won't eat!” Niuniu held her finger and looked at Xu Hui and then at Xiao Dayong with a greedy look on her face.
Xiao Dayong hurriedly lifted up his bowl. ”I'll eat, I'll eat, my wife, don't be angry!” Saying this, he hurriedly stuffed the entire poached egg into his mouth, puffing out his cheeks and smiling at Xu Hui as she tried to curry favor with him.
No matter how angry Xu Hui was, she could not vent out her anger on Xiao Da Yong. She did not say anything else and used her chopsticks to chop the egg into small pieces for her to eat.
The three of them had eaten and drank to their heart's content. As tomorrow was the third day of their marriage, Xiao Dayong and Xu Hui discussed their return trip.
Xu Hui also wanted to explain the situation of her family to Xiao Da Yong. Unlike other families, she did not have Feng's disease and Xu Qiaozhu to deal with, so if she did not explain things to Xiao Da Yong, she would be tricked.
Xu Hui smiled bitterly as she thought about it. She and Xiao Dayong did not have any family connections, so she was better than Xiao Dayong. At least her father and younger brother were better, and Xiao Dayong only had a little sister, so he still had to count on him.
After carefully sizing Xiao Da Yong up, Xu Hui quickly cut him out and began to sew clothes for him.
Xiao Dazong looked at Xu Hui, who was bent over making a new set of clothes for him, and felt warmth overflowing from her heart. He could not help but stretch out her arm to hug Xu Hui, then moved closer. Xu Hui was shocked and hurriedly said, ”Don't move, the needles will pierce me!”
Xiao Da Yong let go of Xu Hui and Niu Niu hooked her finger on his face. It was so embarrassing that it made Xiao Da Yong feel like he was acting in front of Niuniu. What he did just now was indeed a bit uncontrollable.
Xu Hui sewed some clothes for Xiao Da Yong as she talked about her family's situation. She had told Xiao Da Yong about what Feng's disease and Xu Qiaozhu's personalities were like without reservation.
Xiao Da Yong originally had great respect for Xu Hui's family members, but when he heard that Feng's disease was actually her stepmother and Xu Qiaozhu was actually that kind of person, he could not help but be shocked. However, when Xu Hui told him about these matters in detail, she felt warm inside as she was afraid that he would be deceived. This was exactly the kind of man who treated him like her husband and her family, the daughter-in-law who would live the life they shared a heart and soul with each other!
