Maicao busied herself with Yao Cailing's house for most of the day. First, she helped her cook, then she helped her cook. After the workers who built the house were done eating, she helped Yao Cai clean up the kitchen counter.

It wasn't that Maicao wanted to show off, but she was born to be a tidy person. Especially when it came to people who ate meals, one could not be dirty at all. Otherwise, she would find it difficult to eat any good food.

Yao Cailing was quite satisfied with Maicao's performance. When Maicao finished her work and was about to go home, Yao Cailing not only placed a piece of meat in Maicao's hand, but also took out three pieces of money and pressed it into Maicao's hand.

Maicao knew that for a banquet like this, according to the rules, they would have to pay their boss. However, she couldn't accept the money today.

Maicao quickly refused, "Aunt Qingwang, I've taken this meat, so I can't take this money. Today, this matter is my fault, so I shouldn't quarrel with Master Yang. Although I didn't do anything wrong, it has added to your heart, so this meal today will be treated as my apology."

"No need to apologize, I say, you really did the right thing today. If it weren't for you, how could they be so satisfied?" You didn't see that when you were working this afternoon, all of you were full of energy. This was all thanks to you, you deserve the money.

"Besides, you still have two younger brothers to support. Two young ones have plenty of places to spend money, and although sister-in-law is poor, she's still better than your family, so you have to accept this money. If you keep pushing it around, you'll make sister-in-law angry."

She took the money out and put a dollar into Yao Cailing's hands, "Aunt Qingwang, if you want to say it like that, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. But according to the rules, one table is only a dollar's wages, your family has arranged two tables today, and that is two dollars. If you give me more one dollar, I won't accept it."

"Third Girl, what are you doing? I know that according to the rules, a table full of dishes is worth a dollar, but today's work is very exciting. This dollar, ah, it was given to you by my sister-in-law on purpose. Third Girl, this is a bit of kindness from me and your Uncle Qingwan, please don't give it up to me again. "

"Aunt Qingwang, I appreciate your kindness towards Uncle Qing Wang, but I really can't accept this one dollar. I also have something wrong with today's matter, if I take more of your money, my heart will be in a mess."

"This child, sister-in-law won't blame you anymore, why are you even thinking about it yourself?" As Yao Cailing spoke, she was about to give another dollar to Maicao, but Maicao smiled and said, "Aunt Qingwang, actually, I have my own selfish motives in charging you two yuan. Yao Cailing said, about giving another dollar to Maicao, but Maicao smiled and said," Aunt Qingwang, actually, I have my own selfish motives in charging you two yuan.

"Child, do you think that Sister-in-law is a petty person? I won't help you advertise once you take this dollar, you silly child."

Yao Cailing still wanted to give a dollar to Maicao, but she immediately turned around and walked away. After walking a distance away, she smiled at Yao Cailing and said, "Aunt Qingwang, I worked hard today for a whole round of hard work. It's also hard work for you to advertise me for me, but that one dollar, even if it's your hard work, don't think it's too little for you, Sister-in-law."

"This child has truly changed." Seeing Maicao walk away, Yao Cailing was surprised for a moment, then happily put the dollar in her pocket.

Maicao passed by Han Sanpao's house on her way home. She remembered that she hadn't paid the two yuan that she took from his house last time. Now that she had this windfall, she should go and pay it back.

Isn't there an old saying? If you can borrow something, you can pay it back. It isn't difficult to borrow more.

"Is Third Aunt at home? I'm Maicao. " Maicao shouted from outside Han Sanpao's house.

"At home. Maicao, come in quickly." Chen Fengni's voice came from the courtyard.

Maicao walked in, and seeing that there was no one in the yard, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Third Aunt, where are you?"

"She's in the kitchen. Third Girl, come in." Chen Fengni said in the kitchen.

Maicao walked into the kitchen and saw Chen Fengni rolling up her sleeves.

"Third Aunt, the way you're getting along with others is the standard Three Lights. Light in the face, light in the hands, light in the hands. Third Aunt, you're amazing." Maicao praised.

"Third Girl, don't joke with Third Aunt. How could I dare to be so good in front of you? I saw what happened today and I ate the food too. With your level, even ten Third Aunt wouldn't be able to compare to you."

"Since Third Aunt thinks so highly of me, when your little Hao gets married, I'll do it."

Hao Hao's name was Han Dong Hao, the son of Han Sanpao's eldest son, Han Li. He was also the precious son of Han Sanpao and his wife.

When Chen Fengni heard this, she burst into laughter, "Hao Hao is only 1 year old. Third Girl, I've been waiting for your meal for quite a while."

"When did that Third Aunt want to eat my cooking? When did she come to my house? I'll cook it for you anytime."

"Good, good. Third Girl, since you have this intention, Third Aunt will be satisfied."

Maicao took out two pieces of paper from her pocket and handed them over to Chen Fengni, "Third Aunt, I haven't been able to return the two yuan I took from your home last time. I'm a bit more broke now, so I'll return them to you."

"It's not easy for you to get a cigarette box. It's not too late for you to earn more."

"Third Aunt, I didn't earn this from the smoking box."

"Then where did you get the money from?" As soon as she finished, she remembered Maicao cooking for Han Qingwang's family and smiled. "I forgot about the Qingwan family. Cailing gave you the money."

"Aunt Qingwang gave it to me. I don't want it. She insisted on giving it to me, so I took it."

"Why not what you deserve? "Third Girl, since you're so skilled, don't try to hide it in the future. If you're able to cook something good, it'll be much better than going to a smoking box."

"Yes, that's what Aunt Qingwang said as well. I asked her to help me advertise and see if anyone would be willing to call me over to help."

Although Maicao's cooking was better than Yang Dachui's, she was still young and hadn't married yet. It was still unknown whether the people in these eight villages trusted her or not.

Besides, that Yang Dachui had already cooked for seven or eight years. For the sake of face, everyone would probably invite him to go and buy a big spoon instead of Maicao.

"You have a good fever, why is it that I'm not willing to treat you?" "Third Girl, don't worry. I'll tell your Third Uncle to advertise for you later."

"Thank you, Third Aunt."

"I'm not an outsider, there's no need to thank me."

"Third Aunt, where is your sabre?"

"What do you want the knife for?" While Chen Fengni was still confused, Maicao had already found the kitchen knife, placed the piece of meat Yao Cailing had given her on the chopping board and split it into two.

"Third Girl, what are you doing?"

"Third Aunt, this meat was given to us by Aunt Qingwang. I'm touched by her happiness."

"Third Girl, I can't have this meat. Give it back to Qingyu and Qinglin. Both of them are still growing." When Chen Fengni heard this, she quickly declined.

"Third Aunt, this isn't anything that's that rare. Just take it. Third Aunt, I'm leaving now." Maicao ran out as soon as she finished her sentence. By the time Chen Fengni chased after her with the meat in her hand, Maicao was already far away.

When Maicao returned home and looked at the sky, it was already time to cook dinner.

Now that she had a piece of meat that could slightly improve her life, Maicao decided to make some noodles.

Maicao rolled up the dough, picked some eggplant from the yard, and then cut the eggplant and meat into chunks to be boiled.

Afraid that Third Grandmother wouldn't be able to move her teeth, Maicao intentionally roasted the meat for a while longer. After tasting it for a bit, Maicao finally took out the dish.

Maicao brought a bowl of noodles to Third Grandmother. When she returned, Qingyu and Qinglin had already returned. When they saw Maicao, they shouted, "Second Sister, what are you cooking? It's so fragrant. We smelled it from afar."

"Brine noodles, go wash your hands quickly and start eating after that."

Although they had already eaten a delicious lunch at Han Qingwang's house, Qingyu and Qinglin still wolfed down their food. As they ate, they mumbled, "Second Sister is so delicious."

"Foolish brat, are you two planning to eat Second Sister? Second Sister's meat is sour. " Maicao scolded.

When Qingyu and Qinglin heard what Maicao said, they also felt that there was something wrong with what they just said and both grinned.

Just as Maicao was about to eat, she suddenly thought of something. "Let me ask you two, did that Han Zhibing bully you again?"

"No, he stole Qinglin's notebook last time. Qinglin and I beat him up on the way out of school, and then he didn't dare to do it again."

"Good, this is my good little brother." Maicao raised her thumb in praise, but after praising him, she suddenly felt that her praise was not right, as if she was encouraging the two children to fight, so she quickly added, "However, you two must remember, if people don't offend me, I'm not a criminal, and only if people bully you can you do it, you two can't take the initiative to bully others because you are only two people away, if I know that you are bullying people, I won't forgive you, do you remember?"

"I'll remember Second Sister."

Maicao suddenly thought of something. "Then let me ask you two again. During this period of time, did Teacher Zhao make things difficult for you two?"

Qingyu and Qinglin were a little confused, "Second Sister, why is Teacher Zhao making things difficult for us?"

Maicao thought that she couldn't let these two kids know about what happened last time. Although Zhao Gang was a dirty person, he was still Qingyu and Qinglin's teacher after all. In front of Qingyu and Qinglin, it was better to maintain his image, or else it might affect their studies.

Maicao vaguely said, "Didn't the two of you beat up Han Zhibing? I thought Teacher Zhao would be angry, so I wanted to ask."

"Second Sister, the two of us fought Han Zhibing on the way home from school. Teacher Zhao doesn't know, and Han Zhibing might feel embarrassed, so he didn't tell Teacher Zhao."

"That's good." Maicao was relieved when she heard Qingyu's words. She was afraid that Zhao Gang would hate her for failing to succeed due to his dirty thoughts, making things difficult for Qingyu and Qinglin in the school.

"Second Sister, it would be great if you could eat like this everyday." Qinglin ate two bowls of ramen noodles until he was only burping before he reluctantly put the bowl down.

Just as Qinglin finished speaking, Qingyu pulled on his sleeve secretly.

Maicao saw Qingyu's little trick, so she raised her hand to stroke his hair and said, "You two just need to study hard and don't worry about anything else. Second Sister will let our family live a good life, do you believe Second Sister?"

"I do!" Qingyu and Qinglin said in unison.
