My Stepmother Is Soft and Charming

Chapter 56 Visiting the Vegetable Farm (the Third Update)

A good night's sleep.

Because she would be going back to her parents' home in a few days, Du Jingyi was smiling in her dreams.

A good sleep naturally makes one feel energetic.

So, she woke up early in the morning.

Looking at the dawn outside, she called out to Cherry outside.

Cherry heard the noise and walked in.

She said with some surprise.

"Young Madam is awake? I thought you wanted to sleep a little longer."

Yesterday, she was very tired. Not to mention Du Jingyi, even Cherry and the others felt that their feet were swollen and painful.

According to the temperament of their young madam, she should sleep until at least the hour of Si.

But it's only morning now, are you going to get up now?

"Well, I slept well last night. I feel like I have endless energy now. Let's have breakfast first."

"Okay, I'll help you wash up."

As she said that, Cherry helped Du Jingyi get off the bed.

I don't think I'll go out today, so Du Jingyi's outfit is also very homely.

She only wore a Suyu hairpin on her head, which she usually wore, and looked very ordinary.

But the more ordinary it was, the more attractive her already beautiful face was.

After washing up, Du Jingyi said to Yingtao.

"I haven't walked in the garden for several days. Let's go and see what to eat today?"

"Okay."

After speaking, the master and servant went to the small kitchen and vegetable garden at the back.

It was a little chilly in the morning, and dewdrops hung on the leaves of the vegetables, revealing vitality.

Du Jingyi felt happy when he saw the vegetable garden, which was green and watery after not seeing it for a few days.

Danruo, who was still busy in the small kitchen, saw her young lady coming over, and after telling the cook a few words, he wiped the water on his hands and came out to pay his respects.

"My servant is here to meet the young lady. Why are you here so early?"

"I couldn't sleep, and I missed your cooking skills and these little melons~"

Hearing her joke, Dan Ruo also laughed.

Then she pointed to the ripe winter melons in the field and said.

"Okay, then I'll prepare a winter melon soup for the young lady for lunch. The wild rice stem is also good. It can be cut into strips and fried with meat. It's also quite good with rice."

Maybe because of her good mood, Du Jingyi's appetite has also increased.

Just by listening, she felt a little hungry.

So, Du Jingyi said with a smile.

"Dan Ruo is really amazing. She hasn't prepared breakfast yet, but she has already thought about what to make for lunch. Come on, take me to see what to eat in the morning?"

Dan Ruo heard her words, but didn't stop her.

They cleaned the small kitchen every day, so it wasn't a big deal even if her young lady wanted to go in and take a look.

From the vegetable garden, they came to the door of the small kitchen.

Before the master and servants entered, they smelled the fragrance.

The steamer near the wall was bubbling with hot steam, and it was obvious that something good was being steamed.

There were three cooks in the small kitchen, who were slightly fat, but they were very neat and tidy.

The knife in their hands was wiped and they quickly cut the thin strips.

They were not surprised to see Du Jingyi come in.

After all, Du Jingyi would come to this small kitchen from time to time.

And the open space in front of the vegetable garden was still equipped with wooden benches and wooden tables.

Sometimes, Du Jingyi would eat in the open air, and the food was so fresh.

There was still a lot of steam.

"Today, I prepared sweet-filled flower rolls for the young lady. The crispy crumbs on top were made by me this morning. The young lady will try it later. Do you like it?"

Du Jingyi nodded, and his eyes were narrowed into a slit.

She is not a picky eater, or rather, no one can be picky with Danruo.

After all, her cooking skills are not to be underestimated, otherwise Du Jingyi would not have begged the Du couple to send her as a maid as a dowry.

Seeing that Du Jingyi did not object, Danruo continued.

"I saw black beans when I went out to buy some food a few days ago. Let's make a bowl of soy milk for the young lady today. Drinking it is good for the eyes and hair."

"Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement."

Du Jingyi has always been more opinionated about what to eat.

But that was outside. If Danruo was here, she would basically eat whatever she arranged.

Standing in the small kitchen, watching the cooks busying around, the smoke that occasionally penetrated into her nose made Du Jingyi feel very good all day.

Other people's happiness may come from thousands of wealth and power.

But for her, being able to calmly feel the prosperity and decline of the four seasons and home-cooked meals are the most comfortable and enjoyable things.

Perhaps knowing that she didn't want to leave, Lizhu and Yingtao, who came from the main house, began to wipe the tables and chairs outside.

There was not much dust on it, but after a night, it felt a little heavier.

After wiping, Yingtao originally wanted to put a cushion for her before doing it.

But who knew that Du Jingyi was fast and sat down in a hurry.

Seeing this, Yingtao suppressed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Not long after, the hot breakfast was brought out from the small kitchen.

People who saw it were salivating.

Du Jingyi waved to the maids and said.

"Sit down and eat with me. There is so much, don't waste it."

"Okay."

The maids were not restrained, after all, they used to do this before.

Since I drank the hot soy milk, I felt much more comfortable.

And the sweet-filled flower rolls really suited Du Jingyi's appetite. She ate two or three in a row, but she was still not full.

However, she stopped.

She said reluctantly.

"I can't eat anymore, otherwise I won't have enough for lunch."

She said it seriously, and several maids laughed.

Especially Lizhu, who said jokingly.

"Young Madam, just eat it. If it doesn't work, let Danruo move the lunch time to a later time, so that both ends will be satisfied."

Du Jingyi's eyes lit up and thought this was a good idea.

But after thinking about it, he shook his head.

"Forget it, people should learn to restrain themselves in their lives. Otherwise, if they indulge their hobbies every day, it will be bad if they become lazy."

Hearing this, several maids nodded.

They felt that what their wife said made sense.

She is only eighteen or nineteen years old now. Although she likes to sleep in on weekdays, she never delays things.

It should be said that they all admire this.

As long as Du Jingyi wants to do something, it seems that there is nothing that she can't do so far.

I think it has something to do with the restraint she just mentioned.

"Okay, let's go back after eating. We still have to work on moving."

The maid Yingtao nodded and stood up.

Lizhu was greedy and took a flower roll with sweet filling and stuffed it into her mouth.
