Chapter 94: 072: Is that person, Ni Yang?_6

Translator: 549690339 I

Having his feelings laid bare by Ni Yang, Li Wei’s face flushed crimson, worried that he was not good enough for Ni Yang, yet too embarrassed to voice these concerns directly.

“No, that’s not what I meant…”

Right at that moment, Qian Jinfeng walked out of the store.

She looked up to see Li Wei, his face beet-red, and then her gaze shifted to Ni Yang, who was as enchanting as a sprite.

Which young boy isn’t passionate, or young girl not longing for love?

Seeing this scene and recalling Li Dongliang’s words, a look of displeasure crossed Qian Jinfeng’s face.

That Ni Yang.

Not content with running her business, she even dared to flirt with her own son.

So young, yet so calculating!

Qian Jinfeng glanced at Li Wei and said sweetly, “Xiaowei, it’s hot outside. Why don’t you go back inside and study?”

“Okay.” Li Wei glanced hurriedly at Ni Yang before turning to go inside.

Qian Jinfeng turned to Ni Yang, all smiles, “Yangyang, have you sold all your noodles this morning?”

Qian Jinfeng was a diligent housewife. Every morning she would cook on time, unaware that Ni Yang’s Pickled Fish Noodles at the morning market were selling out.

So every time Ni Yang told them she had sold out, they thought she was boasting.

Ni Yang nodded, “Yes. Auntie, I have done my cleaning here. I’m heading home.”

“Go ahead.” Qian Jinfeng waved at Ni Yang.

Once Ni Yang had left, Qian Jinfeng called into the house, “Xiaowei, we have to remain grounded in life. Don’t always think about shortcuts or getting carried away. For example, when choosing a girl to marry; shouldn’t the couple come from similar backgrounds?”

Qian Jinfeng’s voice was loud, her words a veiled criticism, causing Ni Yang to frown in confusion.

Although Ni Yang didn’t fully understand what Qian Jinfeng was hinting at, she knew that those words were intended for her to hear.

It seemed she needed to work harder, strive further, to buy her own shop and no longer depend on others!

After leaving the shop, Ni Yang went to the Vegetable Market and bought more than thirty fish and a rooster.

Why a rooster?

Because it was cheaper than a hen, costing only three yuan.

A hen would cost six yuan.

The rooster was over four pounds, plenty for three people to eat.

Once she returned home and had finished eating, Ni Cuihua had already prepared the rooster.

“Yangyang, how should we cook this chicken tonight?”

Ni Cuihua had taken Ni Yang’s advice to heart. She was no longer wearing her old, worn-out clothes, but the batwing shirt and bell-bottom pants she had tried out the night before. She had even put on a bra.

She looked beautiful and confident.

Ni Yang stroked her chin thoughtfully, “Hmm, let’s have roasted chicken tonight!”

Roasted chicken, with its golden crust and juicy meat, neither too dry nor too greasy. Just the thought of it made one’s mouth water.

Roasted chicken?

This was the first time Ni Cuihua had heard of it.

She only knew two ways to cook chicken, either braised in soy sauce or in clear broth.

How was chicken roasted?

With these thoughts in her mind, Ni Cuihua couldn’t help but voice her doubts.

Ni Yang explained with a smile, “We’ll roast it in our bread baking oven!”

The bread oven was a natural oven that could roast anything!

Ni Cuihua didn’t ask any more questions and said, “I’ll go start the fire now.”

Ni Yang nodded, “I’ll start marinating the chicken.”

The mother and daughter worked in perfect harmony. By the time Ni Yang was done marinating the chicken, the bread oven was preheated. Ni Yang carefully placed the chicken in the oven. Roasting chicken was a lengthy process, and she took this opportunity to attend to other tasks.

In the afternoon, a drizzle began to fall.

Little Ni Yun was sleeping on her bed.

The fish had been filleted, and both the fish soup and sour plum soup were stewing on the stove.

Although Ni Yang could have used this opportunity to rest, she was someone who couldn’t stand idleness. Seeing Ni Cuihua beside her, Ni Yang suddenly had a new idea.

“Mum, shall I teach you to read?”
