She Lives Well with the Shopping App in the 80s-Chapter 155 Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Yun Xiaoxiao looked at Zhao Tianlei and said, "I believe in you, sauce meat should be added with soy sauce and other seasonings."

"If it doesn’t taste good, I’ll eat it."

Mrs. Zhao couldn’t help but look at them resignedly, wishing to remind them that there was still an old mother in the kitchen.

"Then let’s try making it."

Zhao Tianlei took out several pieces of meat and began to prepare the sauce meat as his wife described, adding soy sauce, Sichuan peppercorns, and some spices; after arranging everything, he covered it.

"I’ll just go back."

Mrs. Zhao decided not to get upset over it and chose the ’out of sight, out of mind’ tactic.

"Mom, it’s almost time for dinner; let Da Bao’s father call dad, and we’ll cook some rice."

It was almost dinner time; why would mother-in-law want to leave?

She planned later to render out some lard. Today, even if people smelled the fragrance, they would just think that Zhao Tianlei had bought meat from the town.

Their home wasn’t in the center of the village, but they did have neighbors, with a bit of distance between them.

Zhao Tianlei felt a certain distance when he heard his wife call him that way, not very intimate. After they had dinner, he intended to remind his wife to use a different term of address.

Eventually, Mrs. Zhao stayed, as there was plenty of bones and ribs stewed, and the lard hadn’t been rendered yet.

Cooking rice in a big pot was quite fast.

By the time the two kids came back, the rice was still steaming.

"Mom, mom..."

"Mom, hardly anyone went outside to play."

Mrs. Zhao looked at her two grandsons with a radiant smile, "It’s cold; they don’t like going out."

Actually, it was too cold, clothes were too thin, and the elders at home wouldn’t allow them to go out to avoid them catching a cold, which would cost money.

Looking at her two grandsons, dressed in thick cotton-padded jackets, it was obvious that they were new, and they also wore cotton-padded shoes and sweaters, obviously warm clothing.

Laosan’s wife really didn’t hesitate to buy clothes and shoes for her two grandchildren.

Laosan earned money, and Laosan’s wife was willing to spend.

"Mom, my feet are too warm," Xiao Bao wanted to take off his shoes. The shoes were warm, but wearing thick socks given by mom when going out made them too hot.

"Rest for a while and you won’t feel hot anymore; don’t run around. It’s cold, and you need to wear something thick to prevent frostbite. Otherwise, would you give your socks and shoes to other kids in the village?"

At that remark, Xiao Bao immediately said, "I won’t, they are my shoes."

He wasn’t foolish. Why should he give his shoes to someone else? That was not acceptable. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Da Bao, take Xiao Bao to read some books for a while; we’ll eat soon."

Da Bao immediately took his younger brother Xiao Bao outside to read and wait for the meal.

The two grandsons listened to Laosan’s wife and went to read books whenever she said to.

If it wasn’t for the team’s primary school lacking a kindergarten and only having primary classes, Yun Xiaoxiao would have sent Da Bao to study earlier instead of him being six and still playing.

However, she bought some books, pencils, and some simple characters from Pinduoduo.

The brothers had to read them every day.

"Hundred Family Surnames" was the simplest, as was the "Three Character Classic."

Yun Xiaoxiao reviewed them every day too, but obviously couldn’t spend all day doing that.

As soon as Captain Zhao arrived, he heard the two grandsons reciting, "Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li..."

"Does Da Bao also recognize characters?"

Zhao Tianlei, a step behind, said, "Xiaoxiao taught them."

Then Captain Zhao remembered that his youngest son’s wife was an Educated Youth, one who didn’t do farm work. Now at home teaching his grandson to recognize characters and memorize poetry, it seemed not to be a problem at all.
