35: Chapter 36 Sensible Girl_1
35 -36 Sensible Girl_1
Sun Erhu, fearing that Tan Zhenghong might feel upset, quickly changed the subject.
Thinking of Qiao Duo’er, who had just married into the village, he started telling her about the situation in the village.
It wasn’t long before the dumplings were ready to be cooked.
Sun Erhu volunteered to start the fire with enthusiasm, while Qiao Duo’er was happy to relax.
Having been here for only two days, Qiao Duo’er felt as though she had done all the housework of her previous life.
Sighing, she knew that to survive, she had to change herself and adapt to life here.
So far, she was quite satisfied with her performance.
Suddenly, she saw Da Ya and Er Ya, two little girls, squatting at the doorway picking vegetables, looking pitifully thin.
Qiao Duo’er gestured to them, and the two girls, shy and wary, hesitated for a while before shuffling over.
“Fourth Auntie, do you have any chores for us to do?” Da Ya asked timidly.
In this family, apart from their mother, no one else was kind to them.
So when Qiao Duo’er called them over, their first thought was that she wanted them to do chores.
Qiao Duo’er quickly shook her head, “I bought some candy in town this morning.
Wait here, I’ll go get it for you.”
“Fourth Auntie, I…
we can’t just take your things for nothing.”
Da Ya couldn’t help but swallow hard, but she still remembered what her mother had told her.

Qiao Duo’er thought for a moment and then said, “How about this, you help me with some chores, and then it won’t be like you’re taking it for nothing.”
“Big sister, please agree.
I want to eat candy, and I will also help Fourth Auntie with chores!” Er Ya said in a soft, sweet tone.
They were all children; how could they resist the temptation of food?
After some thought, Da Ya agreed.
She and Er Ya could do a lot of chores.
Qiao Duo’er then went back to the room to get the candy, and she gave Da Ya and Er Ya one piece each.
“Eat it quickly, and don’t let your dad see,” Qiao Duo’er whispered a reminder.
If Tan Zhengyuan saw them, who knows what unpleasant things he would say, he might even snatch the candy away and eat it himself.
Da Ya and Er Ya nodded and quickly popped the candy into their mouths.
The sweet taste lifted their spirits, which had been somewhat downcast, in an instant.
As they grew up, opportunities to eat candy were very few and far between.
The reason was simple: whatever food there was, Xiao Fu always had to be fed first, and usually, there was nothing left after he finished.
Seeing Da Ya and Er Ya’s contented faces, Qiao Duo’er’s mood brightened even more.
Sun Erhu quickly boiled the water, and Qiao Duo’er dropped the dumplings into the pot.
When they were cooked, she scooped them onto a plate.
By the time she had stir-fried the lotus root slices, the dumplings were no longer too hot to eat.
The lotus root slices needed to be stir-fried quickly over high heat, so she instructed Sun Erhu to stoke the fire a bit more.
Once the wok was hot, she poured some lard into it.
When the smoke turned blue, she added the lotus root slices and the green peppers, quickly stir-fried them with a little water, and finished by adding some salt before taking them out of the wok.
The white lotus root slices and the green peppers looked appetizing together.
The simple stir-fried lotus root slices paired with the purslane dumplings had a unique flavor, and the three of them ate with great satisfaction.
Qiao Duo’er saved a few dumplings, intending to give them to Da Ya and Er Ya.
When the two girls left, they kept longing for the dumplings, but nobody said a word, showing consideration that tugged at the heart.
Suddenly, she heard some noise outside and, thinking it was Xiao Fu coming to cause trouble, Qiao Duo’er went out, bristling with anger.
But, to her surprise, it was Er Ya tending the fire.
“Er Ya, you…”
The girl had really come to work!
