Quick Wear: Pregnant Beauty and Childbirth Plan

Chapter 417 She from Dongzhu Kingdom 5

Liao Xin had no choice but to come to the kitchen. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would get angry and stay in the study facing Wen Ya.

However, the kitchen is not a quiet place, there are still people inside.

His wife's father, Jin Sheng, did not go to rest.

He was probably busy making lunch, and at this moment, he was sitting in front of the stove, adding firewood to the stove.

"Can you cook?"

Liao Xin shook his head.

What a joke, he was in Xiyuan Kingdom, with hordes of slaves, thousands of hectares of fertile land, and countless people serving him, so there was no need for him to cook in person.

Jin Sheng asked again, "Will that make a fire?"

"Do you know how to fry small yellow croakers? Mother and daughter like to eat small yellow croakers the most."

Liao Xin shook his head again.

He is not familiar with all the work related to the kitchen, and he does not want to do it when a gentleman cooks far away.

I just came to the kitchen to ask for some peace and quiet, but my wife’s father was also there.

"Then let's start by lighting the fire."

"There is a small bench behind the door. Move it over and sit next to me. I will teach you how to make a fire."

As Wen Qiuchi's official husband, Jin Sheng is responsible for and coordinates all the housework of the Wen family. His children are educated by him, and his husband is still taught by him.

Liao Xin was a little helpless, but looking at this elderly man, exuding the glory of motherhood, it seemed that if he didn't do as he was told, Jin Sheng would sulk pitifully, so Liao Xin had no choice but to move the small stool and sit obediently on Jin Sheng. beside.

"I have been in the Wen family for nearly 20 years. It has been hard to be a formal husband, but we men cannot study in the imperial examinations, nor can we be officials. If we cannot get married, we will be laughed at and irritated. A shame."

"No matter what unpleasantness happens between you and our family Xiaoya, it can't change the fact that you are now married into our Wen family."

"Xiaoya's mother is the head of the town. She is very busy on weekdays. She often travels around, dealing with chores in several villages, as well as farm work. She also has to look after her farmhands and work on hundreds of acres of paddy fields."

"She just eats at home, and after eating, she has to go out to do some business."

"As for Xiaoya, she has just passed the Tongsheng Examination. She will prepare for the county exam and the prefecture exam next year. Therefore, in a few days, she will go to a school in the town to study."

"Although Xiaoya has a tearful physique, pearls cannot be sold for much money in Dongzhu Kingdom. The money at home is relatively abundant for the time being, but in the future Xiaoya will have to take the provincial examination and go to the imperial city to take it. The palace examination is a huge expense."

"Therefore, you have to learn to be diligent and thrifty in running the house, and you have to help make money. Every penny you can earn is a penny, whether it's embroidering, helping people wash clothes, or cooking tables for people. Be diligent and don't be lazy."

While telling Liao Xin these words, Jin Sheng held a poker in his hand and turned over the firewood on the stove.

"Look! You can't just pile all the firewood together when burning firewood. It has to be made hollow."

"Leave some air so that when you throw the fire stick in, the fire will start."

A series of words rushed into Liao Xin's ears.

He knew that this was what Jin Sheng had told him from the bottom of his heart over the years since he married into the Wen family.

Hearing that Wen Ya wanted to take the imperial examination, but the men could only do housework such as embroidery and cooking, the world and Xiyuan Kingdom were really turned upside down.

"Are these the only jobs men can do?"

"I want to be a escort, I want to pull a cart, I want to farm, but why can't I do it? But, I'm very strong. Isn't it too humiliating to be stuck at home?"

Jin Sheng shook his head helplessly.

He raised his eyes and looked directly at Liao Xin's face. The young man in front of him was still too naive.

It is really unreasonable to want to get involved in the industry that women do.

"In our Dongzhu country, all the money-making jobs are monopolized by women."

"Men can only live by relying on women. Do you still want to be a escort? Want to pull a cart? Want to farm? Just go to sleep. You can have everything in your dreams."

Afterwards, Jin Sheng handed the poker in his hand to Liao Xin.

He stood up, walked to the chopping board, picked up the kitchen knife, and began to peel the potatoes.

"You keep your eyes on the fire. The rice is simmering in the pot. Don't burn it. Remember to control the heat."

Jin Sheng flipped his fingers a few times, and the skin of the potato fell off, and then he threw himself into the action of shredding the potatoes.

When Liao Xin raised his head again and looked over, he found that Jin Sheng's knife skills were very exquisite. He could cut potatoes as thin as hair. At first glance, he looked like a person who had been working in the kitchen for many years.

"If my wife, mother and Wen Ya go out, and there are only two of us at home, won't it be too boring?"

Jin Sheng put down the kitchen knife in his hand and pointed at the soybeans piled in the corner, the millstone outside the kitchen, the water tank in the yard, and baskets of dirty clothes.

"She has to grind beans every day. Qiuchi likes to drink soy milk and eat tofu. If she can't drink soy milk or eat tofu, she will lose her temper."

"In the evening, the meals are even more abundant. Qiuchi also likes eight vegetables and one soup, so he has to go to the market every day. He has to go to the morning market early in the morning to grab the freshest vegetables."

Liao Xin was a little surprised.

Eight dishes and one soup? As a wife and mother, she is only a little tall, but she eats quite grandly.

However, Liao Xin thought that when he was in Xiyuan Kingdom, those big men and nobles from wealthy families also liked extravagance and waste.

Sixteen dishes and four soups, twenty dishes and eight soups are everywhere.

But for a family like that, there are only four or five cooks in the family. But now, Jin Sheng is almost all responsible for all the meals of the Wen family.

"But I see that there are three male attendants beside my wife and mother. What kind of work do they want to do? Do you have to do all the housework at home by yourself?"

This topic is indeed a bit heavy, Liao Xin realized it after finishing speaking.

Comparing Jin Sheng's identity to that of a woman from Xiyuan Kingdom, Jin Sheng is an old and wan-faced woman who is not favored by her husband.

Sure enough, when Jin Sheng heard these words, his face turned pale, his eyebrows drooped, and he couldn't see any expression.

"She likes husbands with smooth skin, but now that I am getting older, I have wrinkles on my face."

"She likes her hair to be dark and thick, but I have a lot of gray hair and I've lost a lot of hair."

"She likes fresh and tight flesh, but my body is getting worse every year, and the skin and flesh are getting looser."

"She also likes people who can please her, worship her, flatter her, and say sweet words to her. But I have always been stupid, and I only care about her stupidly, and I still have to be complained by her. I am meddling in my own business."

Liao Xin, who grew up in Xiyuan Kingdom, had always seen women who were sentimental and depressed.

This was the first time he saw a man who was obsessed with love, wasting time, wasting years, and dedicating his life to a woman.

"Then why did my wife and mother want to marry you in the first place? According to what you said, you don't like her either."
