The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1247 - Chapter 1247 1247

Chapter 1247: 1247 Chapter 1247: 1247 “My wife taught me,” he didn’t hide it.

“How does Yue’er have such good skills?”

“She only said she was self-taught.”

“ThisaEUR|” Xiao Yishan didn’t believe it, but there was nothing he could do if the other party refused to say more.

In fact, Xiao Yuchuan had also asked his wife who had taught her, and she dismissed him with the words ‘self-taught’ as well.

Su Qingyue carried the charcoal basin out from the room and instructed Yinzhu, “Zhu’er, go get a table over hereaEUR|”

“Yes.”

Qingyue also prepared several stacks of seasonings, soy sauce, one stack of honey, and placed a barbecue grill on top of the charcoal basin.

She had this type of grill specially made after drawing a diagram a few days earlier and taking it to the blacksmith’s shop.

In ancient times, there were no ready-made barbecue grills for sale.

She also had some long iron forks made at the same time.

“Barbecue, huh,” she said as she went into the kitchen to cut half a sheep from the New Year goods into lamb chops, brought them out on a plate, skewered them with an iron fork, and placed them on the barbecue grill over the charcoal basin.

Xiao Yuchuan and Xiao Yishan watched, finding it quite novel.

Su Qingyue ordered Yinzhu, “Go cut a few chicken legs from the kitchen and bring them here.”

“Yes.”

Su Qingyue moved a stool over to sit in front of the charcoal basin, flipping the lamb chops on the grill from time to time.

Barbecuing in the yard during the bitter cold winter months indeed had a unique charm.

Xiao Yuchuan also moved a stool and sat next to her, “Wife, do these grilled lamb chops taste good?”

“Of course they taste good,” she winked at him, “I mixed the special seasonings myself, and it’s very fragrant.”

Soon, the aroma of the grilled lamb chops filled the air.

Xiao Yuchuan wanted to reach out and grab the grilled meat from the lamb chops, but she slapped his hand away, “If you want to eat, you have to grill it yourself.”

Seeing Xiao Yishan’s tall and sturdy figure standing stiffly to one side, she called out to him, “Second brother, come over and sit down with a stool.”

He complied.

She then handed him the nearly grilled lamb chops, “Keep grilling them for a bit longer, and then you can eat.”

He took them, his resolute visage softened with a touch of emotion.

It seemed like Yue’er hadn’t been this kind to him for a long time.

Ever since the big sister had visited the Xiao Family of Wushan Village, Yue’er had gradually become distant from him.

He had brought Li Rong’er home and nearly came to a falling out with Yue’er.

Now, he understood that if Yue’er hadn’t appreciated his effort in saving the third brother at the cold pool that time, she probably would have continued to ignore him.

Xiao Yuchuan jealously remarked, “Wife, you said that if you want to eat, you have to grill it yourself.”

“That’s what I said to you,” she shrugged indifferently, “not about myself.”

“Young Lady, the chicken legs are cutaEUR|” Yinzhu approached with a big plate, on which there were six cut chicken legs.

“Zhu’er, come sit with us tooaEUR|”

“I dare not.”

“Tomorrow is the New Year, today is an exception, there is no need to be so formal.

Go tell Liu Sheng to bolt the courtyard door, and ask him to come eat barbecue with us too.”

“Yes.”

The four of them sat around the stove, each holding an iron fork and grilling meat.

Although the New Year was only celebrated tomorrow, today’s atmosphere was harmonious.

“Wife, the seasoning you made for the grilled lamb chops is really deliciousaEUR|”

“Of courseaEUR|”

Laughter echoed in the courtyard from time to time.

The next day at noon.

At the entrance of the Xiao family’s courtyard, Xiao Qinghe sat in a wheelchair, looking down the village road, his figure seeming somewhat slight in the cold wind.

“Still waiting for your third brother and the others?” Li Rong’er from next door opened the courtyard door, and after seeing him, she spoke displeasedly, “The villagers are all saying an avalanche has blocked the road, and it won’t be cleared for ten days or so; they won’t be coming back.”
