Chapter 715: 715 Qingyue delivers water

“Why would you go over there if you did nothing wrong?”

“Oh, so I have to make mistakes to go there.” He immediately held the brush upside down, “Look, I’m holding the brush wrong…”

He did not finish his sentence as he realized that as he held the brush upside down, some ink from the brush splashed out, with a droplet hitting right on Su Qingyue’s face.

He froze, then started chuckling, “Wife, your face is black.”

She reflexively wiped her face, smearing it all over.

Xiao Yishan and Xiao Qinghe both held in their laughter as they saw her face smeared with black ink.

Only Xiao Yuchuan did not bother holding back his laughter, chuckling uncontrollably, “Wife, your big black face is really funny…”

“Xiao Yuchuan!” Su Qingyue’s face indeed turned black, “If you keep doing this, I won’t teach you anymore!”

“I didn’t mean to do it, you wouldn’t be so petty, wife…”

“Well, I am petty. As of tomorrow, I am no longer teaching!”

“Don’t, wife…”

“Enough talk, don’t distract second and fourth brother from their writing practice.”

He resentfully kept on writing.

She huffed and puffed and ran to the kitchen to wash her face.

…

The next day at lunchtime, the Xiao Family’s courtyard was bustling with people.

The four Xiaos, Zhou Fuquan, Zhang Youlai, and Zhang Ping’an, plus ten other people they had hired, a total of seventeen people were having lunch, making it exceptionally lively.

There weren’t enough seats at the kitchen table, so Xiao Yishan borrowed a table and several long benches from Aunt Zhang’s house.

They split into two tables, and it was just right.

The dishes served on both tables were exactly the same, a large bowl of vegetables, a large bowl of fried fish, and a large bowl of flat beans stir-fried with meat.

The workers who had been working were savoring the meal.

One of them said, “Second Brother Xiao, I’ve helped so many employers build their houses, apart from the wealthy families in the town, your family provides the best food among all the other families in the villages, and, the cooking is also excellent.”

“The dishes were cooked by the fourth brother Xiao, but they were selected by his wife.” Zhou Fuquan also commented, “I eat vegetables every day at my own home, unlike when I’m working at the Xiao Family. I get to enjoy a different meal every day, and they all taste delicious. The sister-in-law really knows how to pair dishes.”

“Well, my wife is not only good at pairing dishes but she is even better at cooking.” Xiao Yuchuan said with a smiling face.

Then a young man chimed in, “Why not let sister-in-law cook tomorrow to give it a try…”

“Aren’t the dishes cooked by my fourth brother delicious?” Yuchuan was not pleased, “Why would my wife have to cook? I wouldn’t want her to overwork.”

“Oh, Brother Chuan cares so much about his wife…” Zhang Ping’an joked.

“Of course.” Xiao Yuchuan fondly glanced at Su Qingyue, “If I don’t love my wife, who will?”

“Dashan and Qinghe would surely care for her…” Zhang Ping’an said, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Xiao Yuchuan sulked, “Can’t you all shut up with all this delicious food, hurry up and eat!”

Su Qingyue said, “Master workers, the reason why we serve such good food is that we want you to work hard.”

“That’s for sure! Since the employers are so nice to us, we can’t let them down…”

“We will definitely work hard…”

“The wife of the Xiao Family is so good, some people said she was the ugliest in all the nearby villages, but I think she looks good. The Xiao Family’s brothers are really blessed…”

…

Between two and three in the afternoon, the second brother, the third brother, and the workers hired by the Xiao Family were busy working while Su Qingyue carried a bucket of well water to the empty land where the house was being built.
