Chapter 16: 151-160

Chapter 151

Shuying wore a black waist-length woolen tweed this morning as usual, with a white scarf around her neck and her hair draped over her shoulders, revealing her extremely beautiful face.

Her skin has been cultivated by her over the past few months to a cold white complexion, which is whiter and more translucent than other girls who have applied powder. Her face is slightly red from being frozen, and it is rosy in the white, as if she had applied rouge. Her lips are slightly red, and her radiant face is particularly stunning.

And it is said that clothes make the man, and the waist-length black woolen tweed makes her skin even whiter. She is tall, with a thin waist, long legs, and a good temperament. She does not look rustic like a country girl at all, and even looks more like a big city girl than a big city girl.

Gao Dasao, who was in contact with Shuying every day, could feel that she had changed a little. She was getting more and more beautiful, and her skin was whiter and tenderer. Not to mention Fang Boran, who hadn't seen Shuying for three months.

Shuying's appearance at this time had a particularly big impact on Fang Boran, and Fang Boran was staring at her.

How could Chen Tuan's wife change so much after just a few months of not seeing her?

It's no wonder that his wife kept saying that Chen Tuan's wife was a fox, raccoon, or spirit. For a moment, Fang Boran even wondered if Chen Tuan's wife was a fox, raccoon, or spirit.

Otherwise, how could she change so much, and how could she be so white and beautiful?

Shuying didn't know what Fang Boran was thinking. She had an average relationship with the couple in the Fang family. Xia Lina was always on guard against thieves, fearing that she would hook up with Fang Boran when her husband was not around. Shuying said a few polite words and left.

Fang Boran, however, stared at the back of Chen Tuan's wife leaving, and returned to Fang's house half a day later. When he returned home, Fang Boran was still thinking about why Chen Tuan's wife's face was so white?

In the past, he thought his wife's skin was fair, but now he knows what is really white when he sees Chen Tuan's wife. The complexion of Chen Tuan's wife's face can be compared with the snow on the ground.

I don't know if Chen Tuan will recognize his wife when he comes back!

Fang Boran had no other thoughts, he just felt that Chen Tuan's wife had changed so much that he was amazed.

I don't know if it was because Chen Tuan's wife's complexion left a deep impression on him. When he came back at noon and saw his wife in the yard, he actually felt that his wife's skin was a little yellow.

Fang Boran blurted out: "Wife, why is your skin a little yellow?"

Xia Lina's face turned green after hearing this. Xia Lina was angry and worried, and hurried back to her room to look in the mirror.

Xia Lina looked for a long time, but she didn't see that her skin had turned yellow. It was just that her skin was a little dry in winter. She was relieved, but when she left the main room, Xia Lina still carefully asked Fang Boran if her skin was really yellow.

Fang Boran then realized that his wife's skin had not changed much. He could only say that Chen Tuan's wife's face had become too white. He had just compared his wife with Chen Tuan's wife, and now he realized that his wife's skin had turned yellow.

Fang Boran certainly couldn't let Xia Lina know about this, so he just said perfunctorily that he was seeing things wrong.

Xia Lina thought her man wanted to talk to her on purpose, so she glared at him as she did before, but Fang Boran didn't feel anything.

Xia Lina wanted to call Fang Boran into the house to talk about Fang's mother and raising two nephews and nieces.

Fang Boran was called into the kitchen by Fang's mother first.

"Mom!"

Fang Xiuxiu was washing vegetables in the kitchen, and her mother was cutting vegetables. Fang Boran saw that his niece's hands were red from washing vegetables, and frowned slightly: "Xiuxiu, after washing the vegetables, you can go out and play with your friends like Xiaobao! You are still young, you don't have to work at home all day."

Fang Xiuxiu agreed, and immediately lit the fire for her grandmother after washing the vegetables.

Not long after, Xia Lina called her to wash clothes again.

These days, his wife and his clothes were all washed by his niece. Thinking of his wife just now, she was outside and had nothing to do, Fang Boran's face became even uglier, and he said, "Mom, let me talk about my wife later!"

"Don't, your wife is not wrong. Mom also knows that it is not easy for you two to raise two children. Xiuxiu can also work at home, and it's okay for her to do some work for Lina here. Youngest, don't lose your temper with your wife!" Fang's mother replied.

Fang's mother is not unsympathetic to her niece. Although Fang's mother is a bit biased towards boys, her granddaughter is her own daughter after all.

However, Fang's mother is the nurse of the two children and the mother of the youngest.

Fang's mother does not want to bring up the two children and drag down her youngest unless it is absolutely necessary.

Fang's mother also knew that her son bringing two nephews and nieces to the youngest son's home would burden the youngest son. Originally, the youngest son's wife did not agree to raise two children. Now she only hoped that her granddaughter would be more sensible and do more work, so that the youngest son and his wife could provide food for the two children. However, doing some work is better than suffering in the village without food.

Suffering a little now, let the youngest son and his wife help the two children within their ability in the future. Not to mention Xiaobao, if her granddaughter can find a support in the military area with the youngest son in the future, she will enjoy a good life.

So she had no objection to her daughter-in-law often asking her granddaughter to do things.

Fang Boran knew that her mother was thinking about him.

But people are afraid of comparison. He used to have no idea about Chen Tuan's wife raising Chen Tuan's nephew, and thought that Chen Tuan's country wife was lucky to marry Chen Tuan. But now he really thinks that it is not Chen Tuan's wife but Chen Tuan who is lucky, and he thinks that Chen Tuan's wife is willing to raise Chen Tuan's nephew. It is really rare.

On the contrary, his wife didn't even want him to send some money to his hometown, and she kept arguing with him for divorce because his two nephews and nieces came to the military area. Every night before going to bed, his wife would force him to send his two nephews and nieces back to his hometown, and arguing that she wanted to go back to her mother's home to get a divorce.

For the first time in his life, Fang Boran felt deep envy for Chen Tuan.

In the past, he had some thoughts of comparing his wife with Chen Tuan, but now Fang Boran could no longer bear the thought of comparing his wife with Chen Tuan's wife.

Regardless of appearance or other aspects.

Seeing that the youngest child had been silent, Fang's mother was very worried that her youngest child would quarrel with his daughter-in-law. She didn't want the youngest child and his wife to break up because of the child.

She repeatedly said that her daughter-in-law didn't let Xiuxiu do any heavy work on weekdays, but washing clothes was nothing.

"Mom, don't worry, I won't quarrel with my wife!" Seeing that Fang's mother was really worried, Fang Boran had to say, but in his heart he was thinking about when to persuade his wife in the evening, not to let the children wash their clothes, which would not be good for her own reputation.

Fang Boran was about to go out, but was stopped by his mother. She first said that she had sent a bunch of sour beans to the two families next door yesterday. As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Fang's mother also wanted to get along well with the two neighbors, but her daughter-in-law's comments on the daughter-in-law of the Chen family next door made her a little worried.

Fang's mother did not tell her son what her daughter-in-law said. She only asked about the two neighbors next door.

Fang Boran was very happy that his mother got along well with the Chen and Gao families next door. His daughter-in-law has always been very self-righteous and calculating. She doesn't like to get along with the two families next door, which made his relationship with Chen Tuan and Gao Tuan a little awkward for a while.

Fang Boran said, "Mom, our two neighbors are good people. Gao Tuan and his wife and Chen Tuan and his wife are excellent people!"

How come this is different from what her daughter-in-law said.

Fang's mother continued while cooking, "Yesterday I saw the young wife of the Chen family next door. She is so beautiful, but I heard that her behavior is a bit problematic?"

When Fang Boran heard what his mother said, he could not help but guess that his daughter-in-law must have said something bad about Chen Tuan's wife to his mother again.

Fang Boran said seriously: "Mom, who told you that? We can't say that. I am the leader of Chen Tuan next door."

This scared Fang's mother. The most important thing in Fang's mother's heart is the future of her youngest. Fang's mother nodded to show that she would not talk nonsense. When she heard her youngest asking if it was Lina who said that, Fang's mother had to nod.

Fang Boran's face was particularly ugly. He couldn't say bad things about his wife in front of his mother, so he had to say that his wife and Chen Tuan's wife next door didn't get along.

Fang's mother was still a little skeptical, and then she heard the youngest say that the chubby and beautiful child next door was not the son of Chen's wife but the nephew. He lived next door, and he saw how Chen Tuan's wife treated the child every day.

The daughter-in-law is very honest and has a good character. She loves the child more than her own.

Compared with Xia Lina's words of child abuse, Fang's mother certainly believed her youngest son's words more. How could she not know that the previous words were most likely nonsense from her daughter-in-law.

Yesterday, she carefully looked at the child and saw that he was well dressed, well-fed, and had a rosy complexion. It was obvious that the child was doing very well.

Just because the daughter-in-law was willing to raise the man's nephew and raised the child so well, Fang's mother looked up to her and no longer doubted her character.

In all likelihood, it was her daughter-in-law who was talking bad about others behind their backs because of the conflict with the young daughter-in-law of the Chen family. Fang's mother hated people who talked bad about others behind their backs the most. She thought that such people had problems with their character, and immediately felt very bad about her daughter-in-law.

Seeing that his mother looked unhappy, Fang Boran hurriedly found an excuse to go out. After all, she was the one he had always wanted to marry.

He couldn't even regret it now.

Before leaving the kitchen, Fang Boran asked his mother to put a little more cooking oil in the cooking so that the dishes would taste better. Not to mention, after his mother came to the military region, he didn't have to spend money to go to the canteen to get food every day. He would have hot dishes and hot meals every day when he came back. Fang Boran was still very happy.

Shuying had already made an agreement with Li Hongqi's daughter-in-law about making tofu, but Li Hongqi's daughter-in-law said that she would not charge for it and would just ask the two families to send some beans for making tofu. How can this happen? Shuying stuffed him with some money, but Li Hongqi's wife refused to accept it, and said that if she accepted the money, she would be called a speculator. Shuying also heard from Li Hongqi's wife that the couple especially liked to eat mushroom meat sauce stew, and it tasted particularly good. Shuying had no choice but to give some more beans, and some to the couple when she made hot pot base. After returning home, she told Mrs. Gao about the incident and said that Li Hongqi's wife would not accept payment and would give her more beans, which made Mrs. Gao extremely happy.

Mrs. Gao was not a person who liked to take advantage of others. She decided to give more beans to Mrs. Li Hongqi. You can't let others work for you in vain, right? She sighed at how honest Mrs. Li Hongqi was.

She also talked about how she fried pork and sour beans with mushroom meat sauce yesterday as she said, and added mushroom meat sauce. The taste was really good. Her husband and children had several big bowls of rice in the evening. Her husband even praised her cooking skills.

Mrs. Gao was very happy last night. She praised her mushroom meat sauce stir-fried and stewed dishes.

Shuying smiled with pursed lips, thinking that compared with mushroom meat sauce, stewed dishes and stir-fried dishes with hot pot base were really delicious.

The weather is cold, so eating hot pot is also good. Shuying plans to make it when she has time, but she has to see if there are any soup pots to buy at the next market.

After chatting with Gao Dasao for a while, Gao Dasao also comforted her that Chen Tuan must be back soon. Shuying nodded and went back to her yard first.

Several children were playing in her yard. Seeing that her own children were well behaved and their clothes were not dirty, Shuying simply changed to boiling pork fat and frying oil residue at noon.

Chapter 152

When Shuying was boiling lard, the aroma spread out of the yard, making the group of children very hungry. Chen Yi, who was playing with Liang Goudan, Gao Yuan and Fang Xiaobao, couldn't help but run to the kitchen.

Gao Yuan was used to being thick-skinned, and he felt that he was close to Aunt Yang, so he ran to the kitchen door with Chen Yi and looked in, calling out pitifully: "Aunt Yang! Big brother!"

Liang Goudan and Fang Xiaobao were also very hungry, but children of this generation matured early, so they were a little embarrassed. They wanted to leave but couldn't move, and they kept looking at the door of the main room while swallowing their saliva.

Oil residue is a rare thing for Gao Dasao, but it is just ordinary for Shuying who has a shopping mall. She scooped two pieces of oil residue with a spatula and put them in a bowl. After they cooled down a little, she gave one piece to Chen Yi and one piece to Gao Yuan to taste.

The oil residue just out of the pot is really fragrant. Even without salt, it is particularly fragrant and crispy. The two children are very satisfied with it.

Knowing that there are many children in the yard, she scooped another half bowl of oil residue and sprinkled a handful of salt, and asked her own children to take it out and share it with several children outside, and asked Gao Yuan not to forget to give a few pieces to his two brothers to taste.

Shuying's generosity made Chen Yi and Gao Yuan's eyes sparkle with joy.

Especially when Gao Yuan saw that Auntie Yang gave her eldest son a lot of oil residue in his bowl, which was much more than what his mother had given him before, Gao Yuan was stunned and envious. Why was Auntie Yang so generous and his mother was so generous?

Last time, he ate two pieces of oil residue and wanted to eat more, but his mother was reluctant to give him any, saying that she wanted to save it for cooking during the New Year.

Chen Yi was also very happy, thinking that his auntie was very kind to him and made him look good in front of his younger brothers.

He ran out with the bowl, and Gao Yuan also ran out quickly, fearing that if he was a step slower, all the oil residue in the bowl would be gone.

Shuying hurriedly reminded the two children to run slower and not fall.

"I know, auntie!" The childish voice responded excitedly.

Shuying put the remaining oil residue in a bowl, and put the pig fat and other ingredients in a can after they were cooled down.

Outside the yard, when Chen Yi brought out half a bowl of oil residue and said that everyone should eat it together, Liang Goudan and Fang Xiaobao were so excited.

Oil residue is a rare and delicious thing. Gao Yuan had already started eating it, and it was so delicious that Liang Goudan and Fang Xiaobao were very happy.

The two children were a little embarrassed to take it at first, but Chen Yi told them not to be polite and took it. She ate the oil residue herself, and her mouth was greasy. Seeing that Chen Yi and Gao Yuan were eating it so deliciously, the two of them couldn't help it and took the oil residue from the bowl to eat.

After eating this, the two of them almost swallowed their tongues because of the delicious and crispy oil residue. Fang Xiaobao, who was originally a little cautious and didn't dare to eat too much oil residue, took the oil residue faster.

"Chen Yi, your oil residue is so delicious! Next time my family makes something delicious, I will bring it to you!" Liang Goudan said loudly.

"Remember what you said!" Chen Yi nodded.

"Boss, your aunt is so good to you, willing to give us so many oil residues to eat!" Fang Xiaobao whispered enviously.

"That's right, my aunt is so nice!" Chen Yi said arrogantly.

Gao Yuan also envied Chen Yi, wishing that he could be Aunt Yang's biological son, but he was focused on eating the oil residue and didn't want to say anything, because talking would affect the speed of his chewing the oil residue.

Half a bowl of oil residue was almost empty soon. The children were greasing their mouths with oil and were particularly satisfied. The yard was filled with the crisp sounds of the children chewing on the oil residue.

Although Chen Yi was eating the oil residue, he did not forget his aunt's instructions. Seeing that Gao Yuan was heartless and only cared about eating the oil residue himself, he completely forgot about his two brothers.

Chen Yi frowned and scratched his face. He hurriedly asked the unreliable Gao Yuan to hold the bowl, and he quickly grabbed a few pieces of oil residue and gave them to the two brothers of the Gao family next door to taste.

When Chen Yi gave the oil residue to Gao Zhi and Gao Xiang, Gao's wife and the two brothers were talking in the main room.

"Brother!"

"Brother!"

The two brothers Gao Xiang and Gao Zhi saw Chen Yi and stepped forward to hold his hand.

"Why are you here? Are you looking for your two brothers to play?" Mrs. Gao asked with a smile, "Chen Yi, do you want to have lunch at Auntie's house?"

Chen Yi shook his head and refused Mrs. Gao without thinking. He knew very well that Xiaoyuan's family only ate sweet potato rice every day. The dishes cooked by Xiaoyuan's mother were not delicious. The three brothers of the Gao family were disgusted.

Chen Yi did not plan to stay at the Gao family for long. He shared the oil residue he caught with the two brothers of the Gao family. Half a bowl of oil residue was almost eaten by them. Gao Zhi and Gao Xiang each had only two or three pieces.

But just two or three pieces of oil residue made Gao Zhi and Gao Xiang happy enough. Gao Xiang jumped up with joy: "Brother, you are so nice! When will we take you fishing!"

As the two brothers talked, they stuffed the oil residue into their mouths. They ate it fragrantly and were still not satisfied.

Mrs. Gao just smelled the aroma of Yang Meizi's cooking lard next door, so she let him eat the lard by himself, and didn't need to share it with the two brothers.

Before, she only let the third brother share two pieces of lard with Chen Yi, but this time Yang Meizi actually let Chen Yi take so many pieces of lard to her eldest and second brothers. How could Mrs. Gao feel embarrassed?

Mrs. Gao didn't know that her third brother was eating so much lard next door and was very satisfied.

It was almost as if Chen Yi went back first, and Gao Yuan came back right after him. His mouth was greasy from eating, and Mrs. Gao could see it, so she hurriedly asked him how many pieces of lard he had eaten at Chen's house.

When Gao Dasao and Gao Zhigaoxiang heard from their third brother that in the next door, Yang Meizi (Yang Yi) scooped half a bowl of oil residue for him, Chen Yi, Liang Goudan, Fang Xiaobao and others, Gao Dasao and Gao Zhigaoxiang were stunned.

Compared with Gao Zhigaoxiang's brothers who were envious, Gao Dasao felt sorry for Shuying, because the oil residue was meat.

How come Yang Meizi's hand stitches were so big?

"Yang Yi's oil residue is delicious, and Yang Yi is very generous. I ate a lot!" Gao Yuan's proud words made Gao Zhigaoxiang's brothers jealous. Why aren't they the youngest? Why aren't they as thick-skinned as his brothers?

But Gao Dasao heard that her third brother ate so many oil residues from Yang Meizi's house, and she was so angry that she wanted to beat the boy up.

Gao Yuan was so proud that he blurted out what Aunt Yang had told him to do in the morning to give his two brothers some oil residue to eat. Unfortunately, the oil residue was so delicious that he forgot.

Not only did Gao Dasao want to beat this kid, but Gao Zhigao and his two brothers also wanted to beat this kid who deserved a beating.

The three brothers chased each other and made a mess.

Gao Tuan had just come back and was washing his face in the backyard. He had heard the noise in the hall and what his third brother said. He sighed that his sister-in-law was really generous.

Thinking about the can of mushroom meat sauce with red oil and diced meat that his sister-in-law gave him, Gao Tuan sighed even more why his sister-in-law's hand was so big? His family had taken a lot of advantage of the Chen family.

After Liang Goudan returned to the Liang family with a satisfied heart after eating the oil residue, he also told his grandmother and mother that he had eaten half a bowl of oil residue with Chen Yi, Fang Xiaobao, Gao Yuan and other four people at the Chen family. Liang's wife and Fang Fengxia were also surprised.

But thinking about Chen Tuan's wife, who was usually good at sewing, she even scooped half a bowl of oil residue for several children this time. Chen Tuan's wife was too generous!

Liang's wife and Fang Fengxia asked themselves that they couldn't bear to do it, so they could only remind their children to go to the Chen family less often during mealtime in the future.

Fang Xiaobao ate the oil residue by himself, and secretly hid a few pieces of oil residue for his sister and grandmother to eat.

When Fang's mother learned that the daughter-in-law of the Chen family next door had generously scooped half a bowl of oil residue for her grandson and other children, Fang's mother's impression of the daughter-in-law of the Chen family rose. She was simply too good. The only bad thing was that she felt that the daughter-in-law of the Chen family was too wasteful.

This oil residue is meat. It is especially delicious when adding some to cooking, even without adding oil. Why give it to the children to eat dry and waste it?

Fang's mother was reluctant to eat the oil residue given by her grandson, but there were only two or three pieces of oil residue. Fang's mother simply gave one piece to her skinny granddaughter to taste, and fried the remaining two pieces with the dishes without adding any oil.

Fang Xiuxiu, who only got a piece of oil residue, was also very happy. She had not eaten meat for a long time since her family had an accident. Before her father had an accident, her family also ate less meat. Fang Xiuxiu especially cherished the oil residue in her hand and chewed it slowly.

Unfortunately, Xia Lina saw her outside the yard.

When Xia Lina asked Fang Xiuxiu that she was chewing oil residue, Xia Lina, who had eaten a lot of meat before, immediately frowned and asked Fang Xiuxiu where the oil residue came from? Did the old woman buy it with her husband's money?

She scolded Fang Xiuxiu for eating alone without conscience, and in her heart she even scolded Fang's mother for hiding her daughter's food. She picked and searched when cooking, and was reluctant to leave even a piece of oil residue. In private, she secretly fed oil residue to her two grandchildren. I don't know how much of her family's stuff she used to supplement her two grandchildren in the past few days.

The Fang brothers and sisters turned pale when Xia Lina scolded them, and they looked helpless and scared.

When Shuying next door was having lunch with her own children, Chen Yi was startled when she heard Xia Lina scolding her children. Shuying frowned and hurriedly touched her own child's head, telling him not to be afraid.

She didn't want to get involved in the Fang family's affairs because of the feud with Xia Lina, but she had a good impression of Fang's mother. Fang's mother even sent a bunch of sour beans to her house two days ago.

Shuying asked her children to eat first, and she went to the next door to take a look.

Shuying waited for Fang's door and realized that it was the oil residue she gave that caused the trouble.

In Fang's yard, Fang's mother had just cooked a bowl of vegetables and hurriedly explained that the oil residue was given to her grandson by the daughter-in-law of the Chen family next door. Her grandson felt sorry for his sister, so he secretly hid a few pieces, gave one piece to his granddaughter, and cooked the other two pieces.

After being scolded, Xia Lina was a little angry and ashamed. She deliberately ignored Fang's mother's words and said in a sinister tone: "Mom, my man secretly gave you money, not for you to support your two grandchildren? Your grandchildren are your own grandchildren, and my man is not your son? Let my man support two people who eat for free, why don't you consider my family?"

Fang's mother was so angry that her eyes went dark. The youngest son secretly gave her money, and she didn't take a penny for fear that her daughter-in-law would have a grudge. How could she use the youngest son's money to support her two grandchildren?

At this time, Fang's mother also realized that her daughter-in-law was not angry because of a piece of oil residue, but because she didn't like her two grandchildren.

Fang's mother was a little disappointed, her face turned blue with anger, she covered her chest and looked like she was going to faint. Fang Xiuxiu and Fang Xiaobao were crying and calling for milk. Shuying was also afraid that the old lady would get angry, so she kicked the door and went in when she heard the children's voices.

"Yang Shuying, why are you here? What's wrong? Want to see my house lively? No way! My family doesn't welcome you, get out of here." Xia Lina hadn't seen Yang Shuying for several months. When she saw him just now, he turned pale and didn't dare to recognize her. After a while, he stared at her with jealousy.

Chapter 153

Shuying ignored Xia Lina, walked over to help the old lady, raised his wrist to look at the watch, and asked the Fang brothers and sisters to go outside to find Deputy Tuan Fang.

Xia Lina was jealous of the watch on Yang Shuying's wrist. Why did Yang Shuying, a fox, a raccoon, live better than her? And she was getting whiter and more beautiful?

When she heard her say that she wanted to find her man, Xia Lina felt guilty and did not allow the children to find her man, scolding: "My own affairs have nothing to do with you, why do you meddle in other people's business? What are you doing when you are full?"

Shuying signaled the two children not to worry about their grandmother and let the children go. Fang Xiuxiu was older and knew a little bit. Seeing that her grandmother was almost fainted by her aunt, she hurried out of the yard to find her uncle.

Fang Xiaobao was still young, and his face was a little confused as he followed his grandmother closely.

Fang's mother was helped by Shuying to sit on a stool in the main hall of Gao's house to catch her breath. She replied to Xia Lina: "You scolded the child because of my oil residue? How could I not care?"

Shuying did not give Xia Lina any face and said that the oil residue the child ate just now was from her family, and it had nothing to do with the old lady's subsidy for grandchildren. Who are you being so sarcastic and mean to?

Xia Lina's face turned red and blue with this sentence. Who was Yang Shuying, a fox, a raccoon, and a sly mouth, scolding?

Gao Dasao also came over. As soon as she entered the yard, she heard what Yang Meizi said, and roughly guessed what happened.

Mrs. Gao roughly guessed what Xia Lina was thinking when she made a fuss about it. It was nothing more than that she disliked the old lady and her two nephews and nieces, and was not willing to raise "outsiders"!

It was really hard for her to say about this matter. After all, it was rare for someone like Yang Meizi to be so kind and willing to raise her nephews and treat the children as her own.

It was normal for Xia Lina to be unwilling to raise her two nephews and nieces.

Even if this happened to her, she might not be happy about it.

It was understandable, but she was going to get angry over a piece of oil residue. Mrs. Gao was speechless, not to mention that the old lady and the two children had only been in the military area for a few days.

She started to act weird at this moment. I'm afraid the old lady and the two children will have a hard time in the future.

Mrs. Gao felt a little sympathetic towards the old lady and the two children, so she could only speak for them, saying that if the couple worked harder to feed the children now, the two children would definitely repay them in the future.

Xia Lina sneered at this, if she was asked to support her own nephew for nothing, would she be willing?

She thought so in her heart, but she couldn't say it. Xia Lina didn't want to offend Mrs. Gao and deliberately said, "Sister-in-law, my husband's salary is just that little. If I support two outsiders now, what will I do when I have children in the future? I feel so miserable!"

Mrs. Gao sighed, and it was not good for Shuying to intervene in the family affairs of the Fang family.

Fang's mother was holding back her anger, and she said, "Boren's wife, you don't have to work so hard. I've said before that if the eldest hadn't given the military quota to the youngest, maybe the eldest would have been the one to join the army, and nothing would have happened to the eldest. This is the youngest owing the eldest! It's okay if you don't want the two children to eat for free, as long as you two agree to send me half of your salary every month in the future, I will take the two children back to my hometown now and not bother you!"

Sister Gao and Shuying had just heard about the inside story of the Fang family, and they were both a little surprised.

Not to mention Shuying, even Sister Gao felt that if this was really the case, Deputy Regiment Fang and his wife would be too heartless not to support their two nephews and nieces.

Xia Lina had long considered her husband's salary as her own money. Before, she would not accept her husband's request to send a few dozen yuan back to her hometown, let alone now that Fang's mother was asking for half of her husband's salary every month.

Xia Lina could never agree.

Xia Lina refused, and Fang's mother's face became even colder: "I am not unreasonable. Since the youngest child got married, I have let him save money and take care of his family. I have never taken a penny from him. I am the youngest child's biological mother. I have raised him since he was a child. What's wrong with asking the youngest child to give me some money to support me in my old age?"

Fang's mother continued while panting: "Since I brought the two children to your house, except for Xiaobao, You are young and can't do much. I cook for you two every day, and Xiuxiu also serves you two every day, doing laundry and housework for you two. You can still eat when you work as a servant for other people, but you work so hard for your own uncle's family and eat a piece of oil residue and are still criticized. The two children deserve to owe you two, so what?"

Mother Fang didn't want to tear her face with her daughter-in-law, but now she was really disappointed. Now this daughter-in-law is unwilling to feed the two children, how can they rely on her in the future?

"When the youngest comes back later, I want to ask him if he is willing to give money to support me, an old lady, in my old age?"

"Mom, you can't do this!" Xia Lina knew very well that her husband was a filial son. Before she finished speaking, Fang Bo stepped into the yard.

"Mom, wife!"

Xia Lina was afraid that her husband would really agree to the old man's suggestion to send half of his salary to her, so she cried in front of her husband, crying pitifully, and kept asking what she would do if she got pregnant in the future.

Deputy Captain Fang was confused.

Gao Dasao and Shuying were speechless. It was the first time that Gao Dasao knew that Xia Lina was really thick-skinned.

If she hadn't known what was going on, she would have thought that it was Fang's mother who was making things difficult for Xia Lina.

Fang's mother was also disgusted by Xia Lina's behavior of showing weakness and deliberately blaming others.

Shuying and Gao Dasao were not allowed to interfere in the family affairs of the Fang family.

However, Shuying really couldn't stand Xia Lina's style of putting the blame on others. She was afraid that Fang's mother and the Fang brothers and sisters would suffer, so she took the initiative to tell Deputy Tuan Fang what happened in detail, including that she gave the child oil residue, and the child hid a few pieces for his grandmother and sister to eat.

As a result, his wife saw it and deliberately found fault and scolded the child, saying that Fang's mother used his money to subsidize her grandchildren, and scolded the two children for eating for free. Deputy Tuan Fang was very ashamed and his face was ashen and he was ashamed. He was so angry that he trembled all over.

Xia Lina was so angry that her back teeth were almost worn out after hearing Yang Shuying, a fox, a raccoon, and a spirit, complaining to her man.

"Deputy Captain Fang, it is natural for us to be filial to our parents. Just now, the old lady also said that if you two really don't want to raise children, you can send half of your salary to your mother every month, and the old lady will take the two children back to her hometown and not burden you!" Shuying said.

"No way! You are not allowed to give it to me!" Xia Lina shouted anxiously, gritting her teeth.

Xia Lina would show weakness, and Fang's mother was naturally not stupid. Seeing the youngest, she wiped her tears and said, "The youngest daughter-in-law of the Chen family is right. I will take care of the two children and won't be a burden to you two!"

After a slight pause, Fang Boran didn't wait for her to speak, and Fang's mother continued, "Youngest, you just joined the army, and I saved the salary you sent every month for you. We spent some money on repairing the house, and your father spent some money on his illness and death. I saved the rest of the money for you to marry a wife. Your eldest brother works on the construction site and also has a salary, so he can also marry a wife. He relied on his own ability. I didn't give your eldest brother any money. Later, when you wanted to get married, I asked you to save money and take care of your own family. If your eldest brother hadn't gotten into trouble this time, I, an old lady, wouldn't have complained about taking care of your two nephews and nieces. I raised you to this age, and I think you are the youngest one who deserves the most. If your wife really can't tolerate me and the two children, I will take the two children back to my hometown today. But I am an old lady and can't raise two children. You You are the uncle of the two children, and you owe the eldest one. If you have a conscience, you can just send half of your salary back home every month. When the two children are over 18 years old and can find a job, you, the uncle, won't have to send money! The two children will repay you in the future!" Fang's mother's words made Fang Boran angry and guilty. Of course, the anger was directed at his wife: "Mom, what you said hurts my heart. I am your biological son. You raised me up. How can I let you and Xiaobao Xiuxiu go back to your hometown? I will give you half of my monthly salary from now on, until both children are 18 years old, which can be regarded as repaying the favor of my eldest brother.

Fang Boran agreed to pay the money, which made Xia Lina anxious and angry. She was furious. She failed to steal the chicken and drove the man away, and her husband still had to pay the old man. Xia Lina almost fainted. Sae did not allow Fang Boran to pay the money. Fang Boran was very dissatisfied with her because of what happened just now. Seeing that she was still making trouble, he could not bear it anymore and slapped Xia Lina directly.

Xia Lina was stunned by the slap.

"You dare to hit me?" Xia Lina covered her burning left cheek and couldn't believe that her man dared to hit her. She cried and scratched Fang Boran's face with her nails while scolding Fang Boran loudly for being ungrateful and not keeping his word. He promised to treat her well before marriage and let her manage money and live a good life, but now he dared to hit her.

"If you dare to give money to this old man, we will divorce."

Fang's mother and Fang Boran were heartbroken by Xia Lina's words "old man", and Fang Xiuxiu and Fang Xiaobao were also scared and cried by the Fang couple's beating.

Gao Dasao persuaded them, and Shuying asked the two children to go to her house next door to play.

"Unfortunate family, unfortunate family!" Fang's mother also slapped her thigh and cried.

When the youngest son wanted to marry a woman from the city, she was very supportive. However, after just a few days of getting along, the daughter-in-law's true colors were exposed. After knowing her character, Fang's mother now regretted letting the youngest son marry such a woman!

Shuying deliberately said to Fang's mother half-truthfully: "Auntie, if your daughter-in-law is unfilial, we can go to the Revolutionary Committee to complain, and the leaders of the Revolutionary Committee will definitely make a decision for you! When my second sister-in-law was unfilial, my mother went to the Revolutionary Committee to complain, and the leaders immediately sent people to arrest my second sister-in-law. My second sister-in-law was originally a worker, but she was also dismissed from her job. She is still in prison now. When you want to go to the county Revolutionary Committee, tell me, and I will go with you!"

Xia Lina was still making a fuss, but when she heard Yang Shuying's words, she turned pale with fright, gnashing her teeth and shouting Yang Shuying's name, scolding Yang Shuying for wanting to harm her. Xia Lina was so angry that she fainted first, which scared everyone.

Shuying rolled his eyes and thought Xia Lina was too weak.

Fang Boran had no choice but to carry her into the house. Xia Lina had fainted before, so Fang Boran was not in a hurry this time. He talked to Fang's mother, and Fang's mother was no longer in a hurry.

The farce in Fang's family was almost over. Shuying and Gao Dasao said goodbye and left Fang's yard. Fang's mother took the initiative to see them off. At this time, Fang's mother was very grateful to the two of them, especially the young daughter-in-law of the Chen family.

Fang's mother was also a smart person. She knew that the young daughter-in-law of the Chen family scared her daughter-in-law for her and the two children.

Fang's mother's eyes were filled with tears, and she held Shuying's hand tightly.

Before Shuying left, she reminded him in a limited way: "Auntie, Deputy Tuan Fang is very filial, you don't have to worry, but if you don't think about yourself, you have to think more about the two children."

Mother Fang wiped her tears and said: "Good, good, good children! Thank you so much for today!"

After leaving, Auntie Gao said first: "We shouldn't get involved too much in the Fang family's affairs!"

Shuying naturally knew that if you don't understand the meaning of other people's family affairs, you will only be disliked if you get involved too much. She only reminded him in a limited way. Just now, she saw that Auntie Fang could stand up on her own. If she couldn't stand up, she would not say a word.

Although Deputy Tuan Fang is filial now, there is no guarantee in the future. What if Xia Lina really has a baby? Holding on to money is the most practical thing. If you hold on to money, you will have a way out if the deputy group leader doesn't want to have two children anymore.

Mrs. Gao thought the same as Shuying, but she also advised Shuying not to provoke Xia Lina in the future. If something really happened, she would not be able to get away from it.

Shuying thought that she didn't expect Xia Lina to be so weak. She hadn't used any strong medicine yet, but Xia Lina was so guilty that she scared herself.

Mrs. Gao knew what Yang Meizi was thinking from her expression, and she felt a little funny. Xia Lina didn't know what was going on. She liked to go against Yang Meizi, but she couldn't get any advantage from Yang Meizi every time.

Mrs. Gao sighed that Xia Lina's blessing was ruined by her own actions a long time ago.

I just heard what the old lady said. The old lady of the Fang family is really sensible and has done her best for the couple. If she had such a good mother-in-law, she would laugh in her dreams?

Xia Lina is still not satisfied? She even scolded the old lady in front of her as "old and immortal"! She really needs to be taught a lesson.

Besides, the old lady and the two children don't eat for free. I haven't heard the old lady say that the old lady cooks for the couple every day, and the niece of the Fang family washes clothes and does chores for the couple every day. According to the old lady, servants have a bite of food to eat when they work, so what's wrong with the niece working for the couple all day and eating a piece of oil residue?

Xia Lina is really too inappropriate and has gone too far!

Mrs. Gao had no sympathy or good feelings towards Xia Lina at this moment. It was all thanks to the old lady's success. Otherwise, it would be really hard for her and her two children to have such a daughter-in-law in the future.

Before the two of them parted ways at the gate of Chen's courtyard, they asked gossipingly: "Sister Yang, did your mother really send your second sister-in-law to the Revolutionary Committee and imprison her?"

Shu Ying: "..."

Chapter 154

In the main hall of the Gao family, Mrs. Gao was having lunch while telling her husband about the gossip about the Fang family. She said that the old lady was sensible and Deputy Tuan Fang was filial, but Xia Lina was too unreasonable.

Mrs. Gao frowned and said, "I didn't expect Xia Lina to be this kind of person. If it weren't for the fact that the eldest brother of the Fang family gave her a place in the army, we wouldn't say anything about her. But she knows how Deputy Tuan Fang became a soldier and owes the eldest brother of the Fang family a big favor. Now she is unwilling to give her two children a bite of food. It's no wonder that the old lady was so disappointed that she asked Deputy Tuan Fang for pension!"

Tuan Gao was originally a very filial person. His parents were very He was partial, but he was also filial, so when Gao Tuan heard what Xia Lina did, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he felt that Xia Lina was too outrageous: "What does Deputy Fang think?"

"Thanks to Deputy Fang for having a conscience, he is willing to pay half of his salary to the old lady." Gao Dasao thought that if her parents-in-law were sensible like the old lady of the Fang family, and were only thinking about their own man, she would be willing to support her parents-in-law, not to mention sending money home.

Gao Tuan nodded with satisfaction, and while picking up the dishes, he asked Gao Dasao not to learn the unpresentable things that Xia Lina did, and learn more from her younger brother and sister-in-law.

Gao Dasao rolled her eyes, thinking that Yang Meizi's mother-in-law was also a generous and good mother-in-law. She knew that the woolen coats that Yang Meizi had worn were all sent by her mother-in-law, and each of these woolen coats was at least dozens of dollars larger.

The more Gao thought about it, the more she felt that Chen Tuan's family was quite unusual.

If her parents-in-law were half as good to her as Yang Meizi's mother-in-law, she would not say a word to them.

Even if her parents-in-law were only good to her husband and children, she would not have any objection to them.

Now, thinking of how her own parents-in-law treated her family, Gao Dasao was holding back her anger and did not want to say a word.

Gao Tuan did not notice that Gao Dasao's face was abnormal. He was feeling that it was not easy for Deputy Tuan Fang. He used to envy Deputy Tuan Fang for marrying a beautiful daughter-in-law, but the more he envied, the more sympathy he had now.

Deputy Tuan Fang's training status has not been very good recently. There are blue shadows under his eyes, and you can tell at a glance that he did not sleep well.

Seeing Chen Yi playing with her three children, Gao Dasao called Chen Yi into the main room and asked him if he had eaten lunch and if he wanted to try her dishes.

"No, I'm eating, Auntie!" Chen Yi said politely in a childish manner.

Chen Yi has been drinking milk every day recently, and his meals are good. He looks particularly good, and you can tell at a glance that he has gained weight and height.

Gao Dasao also knew that Chen Yi drank milk every day, and thought that drinking milk was really useful, but when she thought about the cost, Gao Dasao was reluctant to buy any milk.

Because of the Fang family's affairs, Gao Dasao once again felt that Chen Yi was really lucky to meet such a kind and kind auntie like Yang Meizi.

Mrs. Gao really admires Yang Meizi's character now. She couldn't bear to buy milk for her own son, let alone her nephew. Only Yang Meizi treated this child better than her own. She was afraid that the child would not be grateful, so she deliberately said a few words that the Fang family brothers and sisters helped with housework every day, but their aunt was unwilling to support two of them.

Chen Yi frowned and looked serious.

Mrs. Gao said that he had to treat his aunt as his own mother and be filial to her in the future.

Gao Tuan was dissatisfied: "What are you talking nonsense to the child?"

Mrs. Gao was also angry: "I'm not teaching the child. Yang Meizi has spent a lot of time and effort on Chen Yi! She treats him better than his own mother!"

Isn't she also afraid that the child will not be grateful to Yang Meizi when he grows up?

Chen Yi was a precocious child. He understood what Gao Dasao said and immediately nodded seriously: "I will be filial to my aunt. I will give all the money I earn to my aunt in the future."

Needless to say, Chen Yi pretended to be a mature child, which made Gao Dasao laugh.

Gao Dasao joked: "You spend all your money on your aunt. What about your wife?"

Chen Yi frowned and said seriously: "I don't want a wife! My wife is not delicious and I have to pay for it. All the money I earn in the future will belong to my aunt. I won't spend it on others! If she is willing to give me money, I will consider it!"

The childish and childish words made Gao Tuan and his wife laugh.

Gao Tuan laughed and said, "You kid, are you going to be a gigolo?"

"What is a gigolo? Is it delicious?"

Gao Tuan and Gao's wife laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.

-

Fang, who was pitied by Gao Tuan, was serving dishes and preparing for lunch. His wife was still asleep, so he breathed a sigh of relief. At the dinner table, he told Fang's mother that he would pay her half of her salary after her salary was paid.

Her son still had a conscience, and Fang's mother, who had a bad face, also softened a little. She thought about it carefully and did not refuse this time.

If Fang's mother was a little soft-hearted before, but her daughter-in-law dared to scold her in person, how could she expect her daughter-in-law to be good to her two grandchildren in the future?

Fang's mother decided that if the youngest really paid the salary, she would accept it and make plans for the two children as soon as possible.

The only person she owed in her life was not the youngest but the eldest.

The eldest was gone, so she had to think more about the eldest and the other two children. The youngest had a higher salary, so keeping half of it was enough for her to spend.

So it was decided.

Shuying went back to the main room to eat. Chen Yi was not there. Shuying guessed that the child probably went to play with the Gao brothers next door, so she was not in a hurry and sat at the table to eat lunch.

Now, she remembered what Gao's wife asked her at the door of her house, and Shuying felt guilty for ruining her own mother's reputation.

The reason why she didn't make up a story was because she sent her second sister-in-law to the Revolutionary Committee and her mother sent her second sister-in-law to the Revolutionary Committee were two completely different things.

Let's not talk about the fact that she made it up. If she said it was her, Gao Dasao would have to distance herself from her even if she was close to her.

It was different for her mother. After all, she was the elder. Others would only think about how her second sister-in-law was unfilial and would not think about anything else. Shuying could only apologize for her own mother in her heart.

Zhu Wenwen had cheated her second brother so badly. Shuying did not feel guilty at all for saying something bad about Zhu Wenwen.

In a blink of an eye, it was three days before the New Year. She had prepared all the New Year's goods, but her husband had not come back yet, which made her feel uneasy.

She did not make egg yolk crisps for the time being because she did not have an oven. She only made snowflake crisps.

Anyway, her husband was not around, so Shuying did not have to worry about the filling being exposed. She could redeem the ingredients from her mall.

First, boil butter and add marshmallows. When the snowflake crisps are in a stringy state, add cookies, cranberries, peanuts, almonds, and dried strawberries for a special fragrance.

After mixing evenly, put them in a mold and roll them flat with a rolling pin, cut them into small pieces, sprinkle them with milk powder, and the finished snowflake crisps are also very beautiful.

She tasted a small piece and it tasted very good. The child should love it.

The child was not at home, so Shuying sealed the finished snowflake crisps in a bag and prepared to give them to the child as a snack when the child came to her house to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year.

In addition to the snowflake crisps, she also made some potato chips, and added other peanuts, melon seeds, and candied fruit to make it almost the same.

At almost two o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Zhi took his fishing rod to the main hall of the Chen family and said carefully: "Aunt Yang, my second son and I are going to take my younger brother to the river behind the mountain to fish on ice. We will take good care of my younger brother!"

His mother said that Gao Zhi also wanted to go fishing to improve his diet.

After hearing what Gao Zhi said, Shuying's eyes lit up and she became interested.

She had bought a few fish before and ate them all. The mall also had frozen fish but they were not fresh. It happened that she still had a lot of lucky rewards. Shuying immediately became interested and asked Gao Zhi and his brother to wait for her for a while, and she would go with them.

Gao Zhi was still worried that Aunt Yang would not be happy to let them take Chen Yi with them. When he heard that Aunt Yang was going to go, Gao Zhi was also very happy and nodded quickly.

After changing clothes, Shuying followed Gao Zhi out with a small bucket.

The two brothers and their children were already waiting at the door of Gao's house. Gao's wife disagreed at the door. It was fine if the eldest and second sons went there for fun, but why take the third son and Chen Yi? What if something happened to the two children?

However, seeing that the children insisted on going, Gao's wife could only tell the second son to take good care of Chen Yi and the third son.

Gao Xiang was a little impatient after being told by Gao's wife for a long time and said, "I know, mother!"

Gao's wife had just finished telling the second son and saw that Yang Meizi also carried a bucket. She was surprised and said, "Yang Meizi, are you going too?"

"Yeah, sister-in-law, I just have nothing to do in the afternoon. Let's go with the children to check, in case we can catch any fish?" Shuying said.

Mrs. Gao choked and thought that there were really no fish in the river behind the mountain. Her eldest and second sons went fishing a few days ago but didn't see any fish. Mrs. Gao didn't expect her eldest and second sons to catch any fish.

Fearing that she would offend Miss Yang, Mrs. Gao had to say nothing, but she felt relieved that Miss Yang was with her.

Before going to the back mountain, Shuying thought of the difficulties faced by the Fang mother and the brothers next door, and asked her children to ask the Fang brothers and sisters if they would go with them.

With her around, they would definitely catch fish.

Chen Yi was very excited about going fishing in the back mountain, especially since his aunt was going with them. Chen Yi was very happy, his round face flushed with excitement, and he immediately obeyed and ran as fast as a firecracker, calling the Fang brothers and sisters to go with him.

When Chen Yi went to call the Fang family siblings, Gao Dasao started to talk to her about the Fang family gossip, saying how Xia Lina had been making trouble these days, especially that Deputy Group Leader Fang had just received his salary a few days ago, and he actually gave half of it to Fang's mother, and the old lady also took it. This made Xia Lina feel very upset, and she ran to her mother's home in the county after the trouble yesterday.

Mrs. Gao approached Shuying and said, "I heard from my husband that Deputy Commander Fang had a good sleep last night!"

She complained, "What do you think Xia Lina wants? If she had lived a good life before and didn't make trouble, the old lady could help the couple cook every day, and the little niece of the Fang family was sensible and could help a lot, how comfortable would her life be? This time, she failed to gain anything and lost half of Deputy Commander Fang's salary."

Shuying lived next door to the Fang family. She heard the couple quarreling next door almost every day these days. How could she not know what was going on in the Fang family? However, she was relieved that the old lady took half of Deputy Commander Fang's salary. In the future, Fang's mother and the Fang family siblings would not have a hard time.

While the two were chatting, Chen Yi brought Fang Xiaobao over with a bucket.

Fang Xiuxiu was helping the family with chores and was sensible enough to not go. Gao Dasao sighed that it was not easy for this child to be sensible.

Shuying didn't say anything. She felt sorry for Fang Xiuxiu, a child who was precocious and sensible. However, the two siblings were lucky to have a grandmother who cared about them. In particular, Fang's mother was not too biased towards boys and loved her granddaughter, which made her very fond of her.

"Sister-in-law, let's not talk anymore. Let's go first!"

Shuying asked Gao Zhigao to lead the way, and everyone set out for the back mountain.

The back mountain was not far away, but when they arrived, someone was already fishing on the river by digging ice.

It was still an acquaintance. Who else could it be but Niu Weiguo? He also brought a young general Liang Goudan with a bucket.

The Niu family and the Liang family lived very close, so it was no wonder that Liang Goudan was brought along.

"Teacher Yang!"

"Chen Yi, Xiao Yuan, Xiao Bao!"

Niu Weiguo and Liang Goudan shouted in unison. Compared to Liang Goudan's excitement, Niu Weiguo was a little embarrassed. He had been fishing here for a long time but didn't catch any fish. He only caught a very small fish that was inedible and had to let it go.

"Teacher Yang, there are no fish here!" Niu Weiguo said embarrassedly, holding his head back.

Chapter 155

"It's okay, the teacher will try his luck here!" Shuying smiled and looked at the river.

It snowed heavily two days ago, and the whole river was frozen, and everything was white.

Several children around Shuying had already rushed to Niu Weiguo and Liang Goudan, and looked into their buckets curiously. There was really no fish. Everyone looked at the two with disappointment and sympathy.

But Niu Weiguo, who was always confident, was embarrassed and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Liang Goudan, whose cheeks were red from the cold, said after the fact: "My mother told me this morning that it was useless to come here to fish. The fish in this river had been caught a few years ago. Even adults couldn't catch any fish."

"Then why did you come with me?" Niu Weiguo said angrily.

"Just try your luck. Who knew that our luck would be so bad today!" Liang Goudan said disappointedly, and said to Shuying: "Auntie Chen Yi, there are really no fish in this river!"

Shuying smiled and said: "It's okay. Since we are here, we might as well try our luck!"

Chen Yi felt a little sympathetic to the two, especially Liang Goudan. He had just whispered to him that he had been blown by a lot of cold wind and had not eaten lunch. His hands were particularly cold.

Chen Yi lent Liang Goudan a pair of gloves to wear for a few minutes, which touched Liang Goudan so much that he looked at the knitted gloves with a curious look on his face. They were especially warm.

Liang Goudan knew that these gloves must have been made by Chen Yi's aunt. He was so jealous. How could they be so warm? Chen Yi's aunt was really amazing!

At this time, Gao Yuan, the younger brother who was always showing off, suddenly mentioned the matter of picking up wild boars. He said in a loud voice: "My boss is so lucky. He also picked up wild boars. I also ate a lot of meat. It was especially delicious! We will definitely catch fish."

Shuying, who was discussing with Gao Zhi where to cut ice, almost burst into laughter after hearing Gao Yuan's words. He didn't want to talk to a group of children.

I don't know how the topic started to turn to wild boars. Gao Zhigao hadn't eaten meat for a long time. When he heard Chen Yi's younger brother and the third brother talking about pork, they were very hungry.

Niu Weiguo and Liang Goudan hadn't eaten meat for many days. What's more, they hadn't eaten lunch since they came in the morning. The wind was strong and the two of them were shivering. They were cold and hungry.

The two of them put away their fishing rods and prepared to take the bucket back. Niu Weiguo asked Teacher Yang (Chen Yi's aunt) and the others to fish in the holes they dug.

"Teacher Yang, there are not many fish in this hole. You can dig other holes while fishing!"

"Are you ready to go back? If you don't stay for a while, what if we catch fish later and you go back empty-handed? It's just that we have company, why don't you stay for a while?" Shuying said without complaining. He took the fishing rod and started fishing in the hole dug by Niu Wei, Guo Liang and Goudan, and immediately used the "One Hour of Good Luck" in the system lottery.

Gao Zhigao seemed to be a little dissatisfied with this hole, and the two brothers went to dig holes in the ice next to them.

While the two brothers were digging holes in the ice, Gao Yuan and Fang Xiaobao took the two brothers' fishing rods and fished here.

Chen Yi also wanted to go fishing, but he didn't have many fishing rods, so Niu Weiguo simply lent him his own fishing rod.

He went fishing because he was bored. Niu Weiguo thought that he didn't believe his parents' saying that there were no fish in the river behind the mountain before, but now he really believed that the fish in this river were caught by adults a few years ago.

Niu Weiguo and Liang Goudan just shook their heads and said they were going to leave, when Shuying suddenly picked up the fishing rod, and a fish as thick as four fingers of an adult and just the size of a palm was hung on the hook, which almost blinded Niu Weiguo and Liang Goudan, and their eyes almost popped out.

"Fuck!" Niu Weiguo just finished cursing, and the word "go back" was immediately held back in his throat. Liang Goudan screamed, and both of them couldn't believe that Teacher Yang (Chen Yi's aunt) actually caught a fish in the ice hole they dug.

Shuying caught the first fish, not only Niu Weiguo and Liang Goudan were excited, Chen Yi was the happiest, and the three Gao brothers and Fang Xiaobao were also very excited.

What does this mean, there are fish in this river!

However, the ice hole that Niu Weiguo dug just now was a little small, and too many people couldn't fit in, so the two brothers Gao Xiang and Gao Yuan could only speed up the ice digging.

Shuying quickly threw the fish onto the ice and then put it in the bucket, which made Niu Weiguo, Liang Goudan and other children envious. They never took their eyes off the fish, and were both envious and greedy.

Fish is also meat, and it is as rare as meat!

In less than ten minutes, Shuying caught three fish in succession, which made Niu Weiguo, Liang Goudan, Gao Zhigao and other brothers stunned. They were half awake and realized for the first time the good luck of Aunt Yang (Auntie Chen Yi).

Even Chen Yi, Gao Yuan, and Fang Xiaobao, who were in the same ice hole with Shuying, caught a fish each, which made the three children very happy. They shouted loudly, smiling and excited.

Niu Weiguo and Liang Goudan couldn't sit still anymore. Liang Goudan quickly put the fishing hook into the water and squeezed beside the ice hole. As for Niu Weiguo, he just lent his fishing rod to Chen Yi.

Niu Weiguo was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He regretted borrowing the fishing rod just now. He kept shaking his head, saying that he was embarrassed to ask for the fishing rod, and it was not right to go home to get the fishing rod. But Shuying saw it and asked Chen Yi to return the fishing rod to him and let him help him pick up the fish and put it in the bucket.

Chen Yi returned the fishing rod to Niu Weiguo very quickly, which touched Niu Weiguo so much that Niu Weiguo said that if he caught a lot of fish later, he would give him one, and hurriedly put the fishing line into the water.

"No need!" His aunt caught a lot of fish, the most of them. Chen Yi had nothing to do, so he picked up the fish and put them in the bucket. He was very fast, his face was red from being busy, and he rubbed the little guy's head while fishing.

Seeing that Aunt Yang caught so many fish, Gao Zhi and Gao Xiang also rushed to grab Gao Yuan's fishing rod to fish in the ice hole they dug next door. Gao Yuan was so angry that he screamed and had to help Chen Yi pick up the fish.

Shuying was in no hurry to call the two brothers, because they would definitely come over if they couldn't catch any fish there.

Look, Gao Zhigao saw that he had been fishing in the hole for a long time but didn't catch any fish. Instead, Liang Goudan and Niu Weiguo, who were fishing behind him, caught a big fish weighing two or three pounds. Liang Goudan jumped up with joy, and Niu Weiguo smiled crookedly.

Gao Yuan was so anxious that he shouted, "Big brother, second brother, fish here, we have a lot of fish here! The fish must be running here!"

While Gao Yuan was talking, the people on Shuying's side caught another fish, and the two brothers immediately took their fishing rods and ran over here to fish.

The two brothers only had one fishing rod in their hands. Fang Xiaobao's rod was not good enough and he had to return it. The two brothers regretted not asking their father to make more fishing rods for them before, otherwise they could have caught more fish.

Shuying didn't know the regrets in the two brothers' hearts, so she asked Gao Zhi to squat beside her to fish. Fortunately, Gao Zhi had good "luck" afterwards. After an hour, he caught one more fish than Liang Goudan and Niu Weiguo. Together with the first fish caught by Gao Yuan, there were a total of five fish in the small buckets brought by the Gao brothers, and the fish were not small.

Fang Xiaobao was small, but he also caught four fish. Like Liang Goudan and Niu Weiguo, Shuying caught the most. She caught twelve or thirteen fish, which made the Gao brothers, Niu Weiguo, Liang Goudan and others jealous. They looked at her with shining eyes and full of admiration. Shuying pursed her lips and wanted to smile.

After an hour, when the good luck of the system ran out, Shuying lost her luck and didn't catch any fish like the others.

Because of this, Niu Weiguo and his children didn't think much about it.

I just thought they were lucky. The fish under the ice just now all went into the ice hole here. Of course, the luckiest one among them was Aunt Yang (Teacher Yang/Aunt Chen Yi). No wonder Aunt Yang (Teacher Yang/Aunt Chen Yi) was able to catch wild boars.

Everyone was in the cold wind for several hours. Shuying couldn't stand it anymore. He looked at his watch and it was already four o'clock.

Shuying took the children back. The three brothers of the Gao family, Liang Goudan, and Fang Xiaobao, who had caught a lot of fish, were still not satisfied and didn't want to go back.

However, it was really cold and dark, so the children went back with their buckets.

Fang Xiaobao was small and weak, and Shuying was going to help the child carry the bucket, but Niu Weiguo took the initiative to carry the bucket first: "Teacher Yang, let me do it! I'm very strong!"

Needless to say, Niu Weiguo is not very old, but he is probably strong because he inherited Niu Tuan's strength. It is really good. It is not difficult to carry two buckets of fish. Shuying did not worry about it and walked with his own child.

On the way back, the children were very excited, staring at the fish in their own buckets. They were all very happy.

The weather was cold and it was time to make dinner, so there were not many people along the way.

Everyone was excited and chattered about how many fish they caught.

Niu Weiguo said, "My mother complained that I was not doing my job this morning and said that I couldn't catch any fish. Let's see what she says later!"

Niu Weiguo looked proud and excited, and he didn't feel disappointed at all for not catching any fish just now.

Liang Goudan also agreed, "There are so many fish in the river!"

The three Gao brothers looked at the big fish in their buckets and were as excited as chickens. When their mother saw the fish they caught, her eyes would definitely pop out.

Fang Xiaobao was shy, but the dimple on his left cheek never disappeared.

Shuying also found the chattering of the children interesting, but when she heard that they agreed to come back tomorrow, she was sure they would catch some fish. She choked and thought that their parents were right. There really were no fish in this river. Gao Tuan had been fishing here for a long time before and only caught one. If she didn't have a golden finger, she probably wouldn't have caught any fish.

Shuying said, "Let's forget about coming tomorrow. The weather is too cold. It's almost the New Year. It's not worthwhile to freeze the fish. Besides, fishing depends on luck. Didn't Weiguo and Goudan just fish for a long time without catching any fish? Wait until you have a few days' rest before you come!"

Niu Weiguo and Liang Goudan, who were a little too proud of themselves, froze. They remembered that they had been freezing here for the whole morning without eating lunch and didn't catch any fish. They temporarily gave up the idea of ​​coming to fish by digging ice tomorrow.

Several children went their separate ways at the intersection ahead. Niu Weiguo just promised to catch a fish for Chen Yi. Shuying had caught so many fish, how could he take the child's fish? He told him to be polite and take the bucket back. Niu Weiguo had no choice but to give up!

Shuying helped Fang Xiaobao carry the bucket. The road ahead was not far, so Fang Xiaobao offered to carry it himself. There was not much water in the bucket, but Fang Xiaobao still managed to lift it. Chen Yi offered to help, so Shuying let the two children carry the bucket together.

After Fang Xiaobao returned, Shuying took the children back to their own yard. The three Gao brothers happily returned with buckets. The three brothers returned too late. Mrs. Gao came out of the main room and was about to scold them. When she saw the five big fish caught by the three brothers in the bucket, she immediately swallowed her words back. She suddenly widened her eyes with ecstasy and disbelief, and her voice rose eight degrees: "Where did the fish come from?" She said excitedly with a trembling voice: "Did you brothers catch them in the river behind the mountain?"

Chapter 156

"Did they really catch it in the river behind the mountain? Oh my God! I never thought there were so many fish in the river behind the mountain!" In the evening, while eating at the dining table in the main hall, Mrs. Gao had not yet digested the news that her third son went fishing in the river behind the mountain, and caught 5 big fish at once.

So many big fish, they are worth a lot of money!

She just looked left and right and couldn't bear to put down the bucket. Tonight, she could laugh in her dreams. How could her third son be so capable? He is much more capable than their father.

Their father also caught a fish in the river behind the mountain after fishing for a long time.

She was so happy when her husband brought home a fish, not to mention that several children caught five fish at once.

Mrs. Gao was talking to Gao Tuan about this. Gao Tuan was also very surprised that his third son went to the back mountain to fish on the ice this afternoon and actually caught five fish.

He just went to the backyard and saw five palm-sized fish swimming in the basin. Gao Tuan was overjoyed and thought that the three boys were really lucky.

It is not easy to eat meat nowadays. Everyone has been fishing in the river in the back mountain. He used to fish a few times. A few years ago, he could still catch a few fish. Now, forget it. It is good to catch one occasionally.

Today, his third son gave him a great surprise. He asked the three children how they caught the fish?

Mrs. Gao also asked excitedly: "Yes, yes, how did you catch the fish? Did Yang Meizi catch it?"

Mrs. Gao was worried that Yang Meizi didn't catch any fish, and she thought that the third child often took advantage of the Chen family, so she planned to send a fish to Yang Meizi.

"Mom, Auntie Yang won't accept the fish even if you send it to her!" Gao Zhi simply explained how he caught it, and said with admiration: "Auntie Yang was amazing today, she caught more than a dozen fish!"

Gao Xiang and Gao Yuan also agreed, Gao Yuan said proudly: "Auntie Yang has a lot of fish, she doesn't care about our fish!"

"What? More than a dozen?"

"What? Oh my God, more than a dozen?"

Gao Tuan and Gao Dasao took a breath and were stunned. Gao Dasao's voice was shaking. The couple didn't believe it, but their third son swore that they couldn't help but believe it.

The three Gao brothers also said that Fang Xiaobao, Liang Goudan, Niu Weiguo and others also caught a lot of fish, but Auntie Yang caught the most fish.

The three brothers were envious and admired when they talked about it. The couple was not only amazed by the amount of fish Yang Meizi (younger sister-in-law) caught, but also by the other children who were also catching fish.

Gao Tuan looked doubtful: "How can there be so many fish in the river behind our mountain?"

Mrs. Gao: "How should I know?"

Gao Tuan said again: "How can I go to the mountain to have a look tomorrow when I have time?"

Gao Zhi said seriously: "We also fished at the beginning, but then there were no more fish! Aunt Yang didn't catch any fish either! We were lucky today, and we got there by chance. All the fish in the river went into the ice hole where we fished!"

He also said that Liang Goudan and Niu Weiguo were in a terrible situation today. They went fishing from morning to afternoon and didn't catch a single fish. They were so frozen.

Gao Xiang immediately replied proudly: "Later, they followed us to fish."

Gao Yuan, who was eating, echoed: "That's right! That's right!"

Well, it seems that these guys are really lucky today. Gao Tuan temporarily gave up the idea of ​​going to the back mountain to fish.

Gao Dasao also thought so, and the couple didn't think much about it. After all, it's not too exaggerated to catch a few more fish occasionally. The couple can totally accept it.

But Gao Dasao still felt that being a good person is good, and good people will be rewarded. Yang Meizi is a good person, and this is not only very lucky. Thinking of Yang Meizi picking wild boars and rabbits before, not to mention Gao Dasao, even Gao Tuan admired his sister-in-law's luck. I'm afraid these guys are just taking advantage of his sister-in-law's luck.

Mrs. Gao looked at the three children with a friendly face, and the three brothers of the Gao family were covered with goosebumps by their mother's "gentle" eyes.

Gao Yuan asked to cook fish tomorrow, and Mrs. Gao did not scold him, but agreed. Gao Zhigao looked at the two brothers with shining eyes and hurriedly said: "Mom, you keep your word!"

"Okay! You three brothers are so capable, mom will cook a fish for you tomorrow!" Mrs. Gao gritted her teeth and agreed.

The same thing happened in the Niu family, the Liang family, and the Fang family.

At the Niu family, when Niu Weiguo brought the four fish home with a proud look on his face, the Niu family was surprised, especially Mrs. Niu, who was stunned and couldn't believe that these fish were caught in the mountain river behind their Baodan.

After all, she knew the river behind the mountain very well. It had been fished out by everyone a few years ago. Her husband went fishing several times but didn't catch anything.

She had just been nagging her husband about how her baby couldn't possibly catch any fish, and why did he go to the mountain to freeze when he had nothing to do. She never thought that the child could really catch fish, and even caught four at once.

Niu's wife was stunned for a moment, and then she hurriedly brought the bucket to herself in ecstasy. She looked at the fish in the bucket with her husband in surprise, and excitedly said that she would cook fish for them in the evening.

The two daughters of the Niu family were also very happy to have fish to eat, and Niu Weiguo was also particularly happy.

"Baodan, how come you are so successful!"

Seeing his parents' ecstatic expressions, Niu Weiguo was very proud: "Mom, I said I could catch fish! Dad couldn't catch any fish, but I caught four!"

"You are more successful than your dad!"

Niu Tuan: "..."

Fang Xiaobao and Liang Goudan also took four fish in their buckets home, which dazzled Fang's mother, Deputy Tuan Fang, and the Liang family.

After all, it is rare to have fish in every family now. It is normal not to have fish for ten days or half a month. Their own children caught so many fish, which made them very happy.

Fang's mother, Deputy Tuan Fang, and a group of adults in the Liang family were really happy, especially Fang's mother. The atmosphere in the families was more lively than usual during the New Year.

Shuying had just brought her child back to her yard with a bucket. The lights in the main room were bright. She hurriedly took the child into the main room. There were a lot of luggage and packages on the table. The next second, her man had just finished taking a shower and came out of the backyard with steam and wet hair.

Shuying could hardly believe her eyes. She blinked to make sure that her man was really back? She was immediately surprised.

The man was still tall and straight, and he looked very energetic in his military coat and military pants. His face was thinner, his facial features were more sharp and profound, and his aura was stronger and sharper than before. When he scanned people with his eyes, he used to scrutinize them, which made people's hearts jump.

However, in Shuying's surprised eyes, the man's cold eyebrows softened immediately, and he walked over with steady steps.

"Uncle!"

It was fine when Chen Yi didn't see anyone, but now that he saw his uncle, he still missed him very much, and immediately ran over to hug his legs like a firecracker.

Chen Xi hugged the child, then put him down, walked to his wife and picked up the wooden bucket. He hadn't seen his wife for a long time, and his eyes were fixed on her face. He stared at her for a long time without moving away and didn't speak for a long time.

"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?" Shuying smiled, thinking that she had changed a lot, but it would be a bit exaggerated to say that she couldn't recognize her, after all, she didn't change her face.

But she didn't know that this would shock her man. After all, skin color is very important to people. It is said that a white complexion can hide three uglinesses. Her facial features are already delicate and beautiful. After the skin color change, her delicate and beautiful facial features are fully displayed, and her appearance value has risen.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a drastic change. Her temperament also seems to have changed a little.

You can imagine the impact of the first sight on the man who has not seen her for several months.

So, after approaching, Chen Xi was indeed a little hesitant to recognize her: "Wife...?"

"When did you come back?"

"So many fish? Where did they come from?"

The couple said in unison, and before they could reply, Chen Yi interrupted and shouted in a childish voice: "Uncle, the fish were all caught by auntie. We just came back from fishing in the back mountain. There were so many fish in that river. Auntie is amazing!"

Chen Xi glanced into the wooden barrel. There were at least a dozen fish in it. He was hesitant for a moment, and Shuying was a little guilty, and smiled: "I'm lucky today! Not only did I catch fish, but many other children also caught a lot!"

Chen Yi changed her arrogant look, and continued to chatter, saying that the three Gao brothers, Liang Goudan, Niu Weiguo, and the little aunt caught a few fish. His little aunt was the best and caught the most fish. Chen Xi looked at her frequently.

Shuying covered her face because of the child's blowing, and had to say: "Good luck! Good luck!"

The weather was cold, and Shuying touched her husband and found that he didn't wear many clothes, so she asked him to go into the house to put on a sweater, and she went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

In front of the child, Chen Xi could only keep his distance from his wife no matter how close he wanted to be. He took the child into the house, and Shuying went to the kitchen to cook.

There were many dishes in the cabinet. In the evening, she fried a bowl of sour beans and minced meat, added mushroom meat sauce, and she added enough seasoning, and the taste was very good.

In addition to sour beans and minced meat, there was a braised fish. Her husband had just returned, and she rarely let go of her hands and feet to cook. She cooked all meat and stewed half a pot of radish ribs for her husband to supplement nutrition.

The radish rib soup was not stewed so quickly, so let it stew slowly.

When the family of three came to the table to eat, Shuying said that there was still radish rib soup in the kitchen, so they should eat slowly and fill their stomachs.

Drinking more radish and pork rib soup later will be good for your health.

Chen Xi saw that there were fish and meat on the table, and his wife even specially stewed radish and pork rib soup for him to replenish his body. His cold and hard eyebrows softened completely, and when he looked at people, his eyes were so gentle that they seemed to drown in water. He didn't look away for a long time, and his eyes were very hot.

Shu Ying felt a little embarrassed by being looked at, and coughed dryly: "What the hell are you looking at, it's time to eat!"

Chapter 157

Shuying used to be a pretty good cook, but it was mainly because she was willing to use lots of ingredients and oil, unlike nowadays when people try to save as much as they can. In addition, she had a mall, so she had far more seasonings than now, so it would be strange if her dishes were not delicious.

But now she cooks often and has a talent, so her cooking skills have really improved by leaps and bounds. With the help of a full range of seasonings, the dishes she cooks are really delicious, and even simple dishes can be made extra delicious by her.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are so delicious that they can make people swallow their tongues. This is how Chen Xi felt when he tasted the sour beans and minced meat and braised fish.

Shuying propped his chin with one hand and wanted to ask if the two dishes suited his taste, but he saw the man sitting opposite him eating rice and vegetables. He picked up the dishes very quickly. His expression could not tell anything, but he was picking up the dishes with chopsticks very quickly.

Chen Xi did not forget his wife while picking up the dishes. He picked up the dishes for her from time to time, but he completely ignored the "little light bulb" Chen Yi.

He never left his children behind before, but this time his wife's cooking skills improved dramatically. The man who had been living in the open air for several months could only take care of his wife and forgot about Chen Yi for a while.

Chen Yi was very happy about his uncle's return, but now he saw that his uncle only picked up dishes for his aunt and completely forgot about his nephew. Chen Yi's face was a little dissatisfied.

Shuying took care of both the man and the child. Occasionally, she would pick up a piece of food for her man and let him eat it by himself without picking up food for her. She would pick up more food for Chen Yi.

She fried the sour beans and minced meat a little spicy, but the braised fish was not spicy, so the child could eat more. Shuying picked out the fish bones and fish meat for Chen Yi, and poured some fish soup, telling him to eat slowly and be careful of the fish bones.

Chen Yi smiled happily at the tender and intimate care of his aunt, thinking that his aunt was the best to him and he liked his aunt the most.

For this dinner, Shuying and Chen Yi were fine. They ate a normal amount of rice, and Chen Xi ate four bowls of rice.

Shuying was still worried that the man would not be able to finish the radish and pork rib soup later. Later, the delicious radish and pork rib soup was served, and the man drank two big bowls.

Shuying also admired her man's good appetite.

The radish and pork rib soup tasted very good. Shuying and Chen Yi drank a lot and ate a lot of pork ribs.

Her man only ate radishes at first, leaving the pork ribs for them, but Shuying couldn't stand it and gave him a lot of meat. The man also ate a lot of meat.

The family ate and drank enough, and Chen Xi consciously cleaned up the dishes and went to wash the dishes.

Shuying was very happy that she didn't have to wash the dishes tonight.

After taking a break, she went to wash up. A little tail followed her. She just saw that the child was particularly happy about his uncle's return. Shuying thought that her husband had just returned, and the child must be clinging to him for a while, but he was clinging to her?

Shuying was quite curious: "Your uncle is in the kitchen, don't you miss him?"

Chen Yi nodded and shook her head, saying: "I miss my aunt more!"

Shuying was very happy and warm in her heart. When she and her husband just got the marriage certificate, the child was only close to her husband, but now he is closer to her than her husband.

After digesting for a while, Shuying simply washed the child first. Halfway through the washing, her husband took over, and Shuying simply went to wash her hair and take a bath.

The weather was too cold in winter. She was shivering from the cold after washing her hair and taking a bath. When Shuying returned to the room, the two uncles and nephews had already gone to bed and were talking.

"Auntie!"

Shuying responded and hurriedly crawled into the quilt and tied her hair beside the bed.

Her husband had warmed the quilt. Shuying covered her legs with the quilt, but she was still cold.

She waited for the man beside her to pull the quilt to cover her upper body. Shuying sighed comfortably, but immediately worried that her hair would drip and wet the quilt, so she hurriedly asked her husband to pull the quilt away.

Chen Xi frowned, held her in his arms, let her lean on his chest, took the towel from her hand and wiped her hair, and pulled the quilt to wrap her up.

Shuying lowered her head and happened to meet Chen Yi's big eyes, which were curiously staring at them. Her cheeks immediately felt hot, and she was worried that the water droplets on her hair would wet the man, so she turned her head and said she would wipe her hair herself.

"I'll do it! Don't move!" The man said in a tone that did not allow for argument, and his movements were familiar and gentle.

Shuying had no choice but to stare at Chen Yi while enjoying her man wiping her head.

Needless to say, this man was like a stove, his whole body was warm. With her back against his chest, she immediately felt much warmer and felt very comfortable, so she was reluctant to leave.

"Isn't my body cold?"

"No!"

Okay, since the man is cold-resistant and doesn't mind her being cold, she might as well go along with him and enjoy his service.

This man was not at home for the past few months, and she worked so hard to take care of the children and wash dishes for him every day. What's wrong with letting this man serve her?

Thinking of this, Shuying was no longer polite to her man, and coaxed Chen Yi to sleep.

"Auntie, hug me. I'm so warm. Don't hug your uncle!" Chen Yi climbed up and tried to roll into his aunt's arms. Before he could roll, Chen Xi threw him aside with one hand. His hands were cold, and Chen Yi shrank into the quilt. Chen Xi warned him to be quiet and go to sleep.

Needless to say, Chen Xi, the uncle, was already very dignified in Chen Yi's heart. After not seeing him for a few months, his face sank and his aura was stronger than before. Chen Yi had to be more honest.

Shu Ying pursed his lips and wanted to laugh.

"Auntie, we haven't wiped our faces yet!" Chen Yi said suddenly with a turn of his eyes.

He remembered that every time after auntie wiped his face, auntie especially liked to hug him!

Chen Yi blinked and looked at Shuying, and Shuying immediately remembered this.

The weather was too cold, and the child's face was frozen and cracked. She would wipe the child's face every night when she applied the makeup.

The child's body smelled of milk after the face was wiped, and she especially liked to hug him.

Shuying's hands were still cold, so it was difficult to touch the child. She just said: "Auntie will wipe your face later. Auntie will remember to wipe your face when you fall asleep. Go to sleep quickly!"

Seeing that the child was particularly energetic because he couldn't sleep, Shuying simply asked his child to count. He didn't arrange homework for him for a few days, and he didn't know how much he had forgotten.

Chen Yi counted to five hundred, and he felt sleepy after counting, and didn't know when he fell asleep.

The child fell asleep, and there were only the couple in the room. The room was somewhat quiet. Shuying simply talked to the man about random things, asking him what mission he had taken on, why he came back so late, and whether he was tired on the mission.

The cold and hard eyebrows of the man who was wiping the hair were particularly gentle. Because the mission was confidential, there was nothing to say, and he replied sparingly: "Not tired!"

Shuying turned around and sat on the man's lap face to face, touching his somewhat thin cheeks. The man pinched her hand, so she had to lean on him honestly.

Shuying's hair was almost done until almost eleven o'clock. It was so comfortable to have someone serve her that she didn't know when she overslept.

It was only when her man got out of bed to hang her coat that Shuying woke up drowsily and moved to a position for the man to sleep: "Is my hair dry?"

"Yeah!"

She touched her hair and it was really dry. When the man got into bed, she glanced at her watch and realized how long her man had been wiping her hair. How could this man be so patient?

Shuying felt warm in her heart. When the man lay beside her, she touched his hand to warm him up, but the man was so hot that his hand was still hot. She subconsciously went to the "fire" beside her and slept on his chest.

"Are you awake?" The man took her into his arms, his voice hoarse and dark.

It was so easy to sleep in winter, Shuying was still a little sleepy, buried her head in the man's arms, didn't notice the man was different, and nodded.

The man who had been holding back for three months saw that his wife was already asleep tonight, and had no intention of touching her.

But since she was awake, Chen Xi was not polite, turned over and pressed her under him, blocked her lips, and waited for the woman under him to look at her. Chen Xi seemed to drown in the woman's eyes, pressed her back of the head with his right hand, and drove his domineering lips and tongue straight in, kissing her fiercely and fiercely. Shuying was kissed so hard that she felt weak and couldn't breathe, so she pushed him away.

The man paused: "Don't want to?"

Shuying panted and glared at the man, feeling a little annoyed that the man was teasing her, but under the man's doting and gentle eyes, her heart softened.

She hadn't seen her man for three months, and she actually missed him a little. She said she was a little out of breath and asked him to kiss her gently.

Chen Xi pursed her lips and smiled, saying yes, lowered her head and continued to kiss him. This time, she kissed him more gently than before. Shuying responded by hugging the man's neck.

Then a strong wind and heavy rain came and hit

Chapter 158

After lunch, Gao Dasao came to Yang Meizi and asked her when she would go to Li Hongqi's house to get tofu. The two families discussed with Li Hongqi's wife to make tofu today.

When Gao Dasao came, Shuying had just gotten up to eat lunch.

The two talked at the door and discussed this matter.

After being tossed around all night last night, Shuying not only had a sore back, but her legs were as soft as noodles, and she could hardly stand. She gritted her teeth and held on for fear that Gao Dasao would notice something.

Gao Dasao was an experienced person, so how could she not notice anything, not to mention that she saw Chen Tuan coming back in the morning.

Look, Gao Dasao's eyes fell on her charming and beautiful eyebrows, which looked like they had just been moisturized. She looked at people with soft and seductive eyes, with a little red at the end of her eyes, a thick black hair draped over her shoulders, and a white and transparent face that was really dazzling. As a woman, Gao Dasao was a little stunned. She felt that Chen Tuan was so lucky.

Knowing that Yang Meizi was shy, Gao Dasao didn't point it out this time.

The two agreed to go to get the tofu at four o'clock in the evening.

"Okay, Yang Meizi, I'll come to find you then!" Gao Dasao said.

"Okay!"

Mrs. Gao was not in a hurry to leave. She was just telling her that many people in the military region knew that they went to the river behind the mountain yesterday to fish by cutting ice. Many people went to the river behind the mountain to fish today, but she didn't hear anyone catch a lot of fish this morning.

Shuying thought that she had to use the golden finger to catch so many fish. It seemed that there were really no fish in the river. It was within her expectation that she could not catch any fish.

She should go fishing in the river less often in the future. It's okay to go fishing once in a while, but if it happens several times, and others can't catch any fish but she can, wouldn't it arouse suspicion?

"Sister Yang, you are so lucky. If it weren't for you, I guess my three boys wouldn't have caught any fish last night!" Sister Gao really thought that her three boys were taking advantage of Sister Yang's good luck.

Shuying pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister-in-law, don't say that. Maybe I am taking advantage of the luck of the three brothers Xiaoyuan. No one can tell what luck is!"

"You also caught a wild boar before! Who is luckier than you?" Sister Gao thought Sister Yang was too modest.

Shuying: "..."

Sister Gao didn't stay for long. Shuying breathed a sigh of relief, closed the courtyard door, rubbed his waist, and went to the main room to eat lunch.

After lunch, Shuying did not forget that she had planned to send some hot pot base to the Li family. She was too lazy to cook other dishes for dinner. It was cold, so it was nice to cook some hot pot.

Everyone in the family loved spicy food, so Shuying made spicy hot pot base.

Take out the spice oil and heat it in the pot.

Because she had always wanted to make hot pot base, she prepared the spice oil and other ingredients.

The spice oil is made by boiling butter with scallions, garlic, coriander, and onions, which is very fragrant.

She also cut a lot of minced ginger and chili peppers early, and then added the seasonings in order and boiled slowly.

There were a lot of spices, and when boiling the hot pot base, she added a can of beer to enhance the flavor, which tasted spicy, fragrant and spicy.

When the hot pot base was ready, it was almost four o'clock. She cut it into square pieces, sealed one piece in a bag and gave it to Li Hongqi's wife when she got tofu.

The hot pot base cost her a lot of oil and spices. A small piece the size of a fist was worth a lot of money. Since Li Hongqi's wife refused to accept the money and Douzi didn't charge her much, she gave some hot pot base to show her gratitude. You can't let others help you in vain.

At four o'clock, Gao Dasao came to see her with a basket of vegetables. Shuying asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you carrying a basket of vegetables?"

After Gao Dasao explained, Shuying realized that Gao Dasao's basket of vegetables was for Li Hongqi's family.

Li Hongqi's wife was too honest. She didn't charge any money. They gave her some more soybeans, but she didn't charge much. So, Gao Dasao felt bad and brought a basket of vegetables over.

A basket of vegetables is not a big deal. Gao Dasao even discussed with her whether to leave half of the bean dregs for making tofu for Li Hongqi's wife.

Bean dregs are not worth much, but every family is short of food, so they won't complain about having too much food. Shuying agreed.

On the way, Gao Dasao asked her what she had made and why it was so spicy. She was sitting in the main hall of her house and sneezed a few times because of the spiciness.

I don't know how much chili peppers she put in!

In addition to being spicy, it was also very fragrant, spicy and fragrant. It was no exaggeration to say that the fragrance spread ten miles away. It was more fragrant than other spicy rabbit meat dishes made by Yang Meizi in the past. In two words, "absolutely wonderful"!

Shuying did not hide it and said that she made some hot pot base for Li Hongqi's wife.

She felt a little sorry for her because she was so honest. She asked Gao Dasao if she wanted some. She would send some to her when she came back later.

However, she did not buy much butter and did not make much. A small piece was enough for her family to taste.

"What? Butter?" Gao Dasao knew a little about how to make hot pot base, how much oil was needed, and how many spices were needed. Gao Dasao was stunned and shocked by Yang Meizi's hand sewing again. She felt so sorry for her. How could she possibly want hers?

Her family had not yet returned the can of mushroom meat sauce with oil and diced meat that Yang Meizi had sent her last time, so she waved her hand to refuse: "No, Yang Meizi, there is still a lot of meat sauce you sent to your sister-in-law's family last time, so you should enjoy the hot pot base slowly at home!" She spent so much oil to make it, and her family couldn't afford it.

The hot pot base she made was indeed not much, and seeing that Gao Dasao refused, she didn't force it.

Li Hongqi had made tofu for the two families at 3:30 in the afternoon. She and Gao Dasao had collected ten kilograms of soybeans before, which was about thirty pieces of tofu.

"Sister-in-law, here!" Li Hongqi's wife saw the two people coming and hurriedly took them into the main room to get a basket to divide the tofu. Each family had fifteen pieces, exactly thirty pieces.

The hot tofu was very tempting. Shuying and Gao Dasao could see that Li Hongqi's wife was very good at making tofu and was very kind. She even put the bean dregs in a dustpan for them to take back.

"Li Yingzhang's family, I really trouble you this time!" Gao Dasao asked her to put the basket of vegetables she brought in a bowl. Shuying also gave Li Hongqi's wife the hot pot base she made: "Hongqi's family, this hot pot base is not worth much, it's good for stews, soups, and boiled dishes. Try my cooking skills!"

Li Hongqi's wife didn't expect the two sisters-in-law to be so polite. How could she accept it?

Gao Dasao's basket of vegetables is fine, but I don't know what Chen Tuan's wife is talking about hot pot base. Last time, Chen Tuan's wife stuffed her husband with diced meat and red oil mushroom meat sauce, but he said it was not worth the money. It was not until the couple opened it that they found that there was meat and red oil. The couple still don't know how to thank them.

She also said that last time the two of them delivered beans to the door, many people came to ask about it. They learned that she could make tofu. During the Chinese New Year, many people asked her to make tofu. Her family has made a lot of money recently.

Li Hongqi's wife has been in a good mood recently. She is in a particularly good mood and has a lot of confidence. Shuying and Gao Dasao are happy for Li Hongqi's wife.

However, the vegetables and the fist-sized hot pot base were still left at Li's house. Shuying and Gao Dasao each took a basket of tofu back, and each of them only took half of the bean dregs.

Just after going downstairs, I met Li Hongqi. Li Hongqi had a good impression of his sister-in-law. Last time, he owed a favor to the mushroom meat sauce. This time, Li Hongqi did not give Shuying and Gao Dasao a chance to refuse. He took over the tofu baskets from the two and helped them carry them home.

After Li Hongqi left, Gao Dasao sighed: "This couple is really real!"

After returning home, her husband had not returned yet, but the child came home at dinner time. As soon as he got home, he squatted next to the dustpan and looked at the bean dregs curiously, asking what it was? Is it delicious?

Shuying smiled: "Auntie will make you some bean curd cakes tomorrow to taste!"

Chen Yi, who loves food, was very happy and hugged Shuying's calf: "Auntie, are you going to cook? What are we having for dinner?"

Shuying asked him if he wanted to eat anything, and Chen Yi blurted out spicy rabbit meat.

"Spicy rabbit meat is so delicious! I almost swallowed my tongue when I ate it," Chen Yi said: "Auntie, when will we go to the back mountain to pick wild rabbits?"

It seems that this kid really likes spicy rabbit meat and can't forget it.

So, she immediately remembered that she hadn't eaten the dried rabbit meat sent by her parents, so she prepared to make spicy rabbit meat for this kid on the New Year's Day.

"Are you hungry?" Shuying touched the child's belly, which made Chen Yi giggle. Her stomach growled and her face flushed with embarrassment.

Shuying hurriedly mixed a piece of tofu for the child. The freshly made tofu was still hot. She added some scallions and some spices to make it taste good.

She let the child sit on a small stool and eat with a bowl.

She washed the vegetables and had hot pot in the evening.

In the evening, Chen Xi returned to his yard after training and saw Fang Boran lingering at the door of his house. Chen Xi's eyes flashed sharply and he strode over. Fang Boran stopped him and suddenly said, "Chen Tuan, can you please have a word with me?"

Chen Xi nodded at him and walked a little further away from him so that he could talk.

Fang Boran was a little embarrassed. To be honest, their relationship was not very good, especially because he used to have too many little thoughts and was too competitive. He loved to compare with Chen Tuan and was jealous of him.

He thought he had hidden his little thoughts well, but he didn't know that others had seen through his little thoughts and were just too lazy to argue with him.

Fang Boran wiped his face and asked with gritted teeth: "Chen Tuan, when you raised Chen Yi, how did your sister-in-law agree? How did you tell your sister-in-law?"

Chapter 159

When Shuying prepared the soup pot and various dishes, her husband had not returned yet and kept looking outside the door.

Seeing that the time was almost up, she simply put the hot pot base in first and let the hot pot soup slowly cook for a while. When her husband arrived, the family of three could eat while cooking.

The soup pot was an old-fashioned charcoal one. There was no charcoal at home, so she went to the market and bought a small bag in Shilitun Village. The dishes for the hot pot included meat slices, green vegetables, and tofu. It just so happened that the dried goods sent by her parents a few days ago also came in handy. Mushrooms and black fungus were good ingredients for hot pot.

Chen Yi had just finished eating the green onion and tofu and was still a little unsatisfied. The spicy and fragrant aroma of the hot pot on the table drifted into his nose.

Chen Yi had never eaten hot pot before, so she was very curious and climbed onto the long bench in front of the dining table. She licked her spoon and stared at the soup pot and various dishes on the table.

"We have so many dishes!" Chen Yi asked like a curious baby what a soup pot is.

The hot pot she had tonight was only a low-end hot pot in her time, but now, it was definitely a very rich one.

Shuying rubbed the little guy's head and said, "This is hot pot. We're having hot pot tonight!"

"Is the hot pot delicious?"

"I promise it'll be so delicious that you'll want to swallow it." Shuying asked the child to go outside to see if his uncle had come back.

Chen Yi hurriedly got off the table and ran out. Shuying told the child to run slowly. When the child ran to the gate, Chen Xi came in and stopped him: "What are you doing?"

"Uncle, aunt asked me to find you. Why are you back so late? Let's have dinner at home. Let's have hot pot tonight!" Chen Yi was so hungry when he smelled the aroma of hot pot.

Chen Xi took the child into the main room and asked what hot pot was. However, when he smelled the aroma of hot pot, Chen Xi couldn't sit still and hurriedly took the child into the main room for dinner.

When the adult and the child entered the main room, the rich hot pot soup in the soup pot was already bubbling and boiling. Shuying asked her husband to wash the child's hands before going to the table for dinner.

The spicy red soup pot was very tempting. The taste was a bit pungent, but it was more fragrant and spicy, and it looked very appetizing.

This made Chen Xi, who usually didn't care much about his appetite, a little restless. He hurriedly took the child to wash his hands and go to the table, much faster than usual.

The family of three had dinner, and the dishes in the soup pot were almost cooked. Shuying asked the adult and the child to taste them.

Chen Xi had never eaten hot pot before, and was quite surprised by this way of eating. Under Shuying's gaze, he first picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

The aroma, spiciness, and numbness first exploded on his tongue. The meat slices dipped in the soup were particularly tasty and tender, and had a bit of the freshness of mushrooms. Shuying also put a lot of fragrance in the hot pot base, and also put mushrooms. In addition to being spicy and fresh, the soup tasted particularly rich.

Especially this time, Shuying put a lot of chili in the hot pot base, which was very suitable for Chen Xi's taste. He was particularly satisfied and liked it very much, which surprised him very much.

"How does it taste?" Shuying asked deliberately when she saw that her man was picking up dishes frequently and had a good appetite.

Chen Xi raised a thumb while eating: "Delicious!" He paused and added: "Especially delicious!"

Chen Yi, who usually loves to talk, didn't say anything today. Shuying looked sideways and saw the little guy buried his head in eating, sticking out his tongue and breathing out because of the spiciness.

But his little hands were never slow to pick up vegetables from the hot pot.

It's not good for children to eat too spicy food, so Shuying prepared a bowl of boiling water for the child to dip the vegetables before eating.

"Auntie, our hot pot is delicious, but it's very spicy!" Chen Yi's eyes were red from the spiciness, and he obediently dipped it in boiling water before eating, and asked: "Auntie, can we eat hot pot again tomorrow?"

Chen Xi also looked at her with shining eyes, with some expectation in her eyes.

Well, it seems that these two uncles and nephews really like hot pot.

However, eating hot pot frequently can easily cause internal heat and is not good for the stomach. Shuying replied, "Let's see", and both the big and the small were a little disappointed.

Shuying pursed her lips and wanted to smile. She planned to make some clear soup hot pot when she had time. Her husband was fine with hot pot that was too spicy, but it was not good for the child's stomach if he ate it frequently. It would be even better if there were meatballs with hot pot.

A hot pot meal in the evening, the family of three were very satisfied.

Before washing and going to bed, Shuying wiped her face and sat on a stool to wipe the child's face.

Chen Yi hugged Shuying's waist, tilted his little face up and enjoyed applying the ointment to his aunt. After applying, Chen Yi's little face touched Shuying's cheek: "Auntie, do I smell good?"

The child's skin was tender and smooth, and it was particularly comfortable to touch. Shuying replied very flatteringly: "Too good! Why is it so good?"

"You smell good too," Chen Yi replied, "Auntie, do you want to hold me to sleep at night? I'm warm!"

Shuying didn't have time to reply. Chen Xi, who had washed up and entered the house, told him to sleep alone with a blank expression.

He was back, so of course he couldn't let this kid snatch his wife again!

Chen Yi, whose calf couldn't twist his arm, could only snort a few times to express his dissatisfaction.

The family of three went to bed. Chen Yi wanted to sleep next to Shu Ying, so Shu Ying had to sleep in the middle. While talking to the child, she saw her husband hanging up his coat and going to bed, and immediately felt a pain in her waist and back.

After last night, her only thought was that she really couldn't stand the man who had been holding back for a long time. This man was really strong.

As soon as the man went to bed, Shu Ying planned to take the child to sleep first.

When the child fell asleep, Chen Xi immediately took the person into his arms, looking at him with burning eyes, which made Shu Ying Alexander, and hurriedly said: "My waist hurts!"

Chen Xi immediately hugged the person to his body, let her lie on him, and patiently rubbed her waist.

This position is very easy to cause an accidental discharge. Shuying wanted to sleep alone. The man held her thin waist and said in a deep voice: "Don't move!"

The man's strength was too strong. She felt uncomfortable and a little painful. Shuying endured it for a while.

She hissed and refused a little. Chen Xi quickly controlled the strength and patiently rubbed her, asking: "Does it still hurt?"

It didn't hurt, but it was a little comfortable. However, she was afraid that the man would do it again, so she didn't dare to move and let the man rub her waist obediently.

In fact, not only her waist hurt, but her legs were still sore and her lower body was also painful.

Last night, the man was so fierce that he almost tortured her to death.

Shuying deliberately complained a few words, and Chen Xi's thin lips curled up. Compared with his wife, he was very satisfied with last night.

The only thing he was not satisfied with was that his wife's waist was too thin and too easy to break.

Chen Xi complained that his wife didn't eat enough for dinner, so he asked her to eat more in the future, get fatter, and be easier to hug.

Shuying was a little angry and deliberately asked, "What's wrong? Do you think I'm too thin?"

She looked thin when she was dressed, but after taking off her clothes, she had meat where it should be, and could be called plump. She didn't forget that this man had tortured her a lot when he was at home, and he still dared to complain about her being thin?

Shuying angrily criticized the other party, but after criticizing for a long time, he saw that the man was not angry at all. Instead, he kept looking at her with burning eyes, as if he couldn't look at her enough.

Shuying's anger subsided a little, and asked him what was wrong?

Chen Xi has always been unsatisfied with his appearance and very introverted, so it is impossible for him to say that it was because of Deputy Commander Fang.

Before entering the hospital in the evening, Deputy Commander Fang came to him, and he learned about the recent events in the Fang family and that Xia Lina had been arguing for divorce with Deputy Commander Fang because of raising Fang's nephews and nieces, and the relationship between the Fang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not good.

Compared with Deputy Commander Fang, Chen Xi felt that he was indeed lucky enough. The best thing he did in his life was to take the initiative to marry his wife early.

For married life, it was much better than he expected!

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. On this day, the shadows of the trees clearly felt the New Year atmosphere of the military region, and the sound of firecrackers and firecrackers was endless.

After lunch, Shuying started to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner early. Her husband also had a day off today, so he helped her kill fish and wash vegetables.

Since she made a lot of tofu, Shuying prepared to fry some tofu puffs and meatballs.

Meatballs sounded delicious, so Chen Yi didn't go out to play in the afternoon and followed Shuying.

Shuying fried the meatballs first. There were meat and radish shreds in the meatballs. The radish shreds were shredded and marinated with salt to remove moisture. They were then put into the minced meat paste, and chopped green onions, ginger, pepper, salt, soy sauce and a small amount of flour were added to make small meatballs.

The oil temperature was 60% hot, and Shuying put the meatballs in. It didn't take long for the meatballs to turn golden brown and float out of the oil. The aroma of the fried meatballs immediately filled the whole kitchen.

Not long after, the first pot of fried meatballs was taken out.

As soon as the first pot of fried meatballs was taken out, Chen Yi was completely tempted by the aroma of the fried meatballs. He squeezed his small body next to Shuying, afraid that the child would be splashed with oil. After the fried meatballs cooled down a bit, he took one for him to taste and let him play outside.

Shuying also tasted one, and it tasted good.

Chen Yi, who was eating fried meatballs for the first time, was amazed after eating one, and his eyes were wide open. He couldn't believe that there was such a delicious thing.

After swallowing a fried meatball in one gulp, Chen Yi stared at the fried meatballs in the small bowl, drooling: "Auntie, our fried meatballs are so delicious! I want to eat more!"

Shuying fried a small bowl of meatballs, took a small bowl, and gave another meatball to the child, asking the child to take it to the Gao family next door.

There were not many fried meatballs in the small bowl, only six or seven, just for the three brothers of the Gao family to taste.

The three brothers of the Gao family usually took her children to play, and Shuying still liked them very much.

There was only a small bowl of fried meatballs at home, and Chen Yi's face was a little tangled as she held the small bowl, fearing that her fried meatballs would not be enough to eat.

Shuying had just finished cooking a pot of tofu. She looked back and saw her child looking at the meatballs in the bowl with a confused and painful face. Shuying wanted to laugh a little and told him to go quickly because there were enough meatballs for him at home.

After the child ran out with the bowl, Shuying turned down the heat and took a meatball to the backyard to stuff her man's mouth.

The fried meatballs were really fragrant, especially the ones just out of the oven. After eating the fried meatballs, Chen Xi gave her a thumbs up: "Delicious!"

"Do you like hot pot or fried meatballs?"

Chen Xi chose hot pot without hesitation. Although fried meatballs were delicious, they were easy to get tired of. He especially liked spicy hot pot.

Chen Xi was looking forward to seeing his wife. Shu Ying knew that this man wanted to eat hot pot. Shu Ying pursed her lips and wanted to smile: "Let's talk about it after the New Year! I'll go to the kitchen first!"

The children were not at home for the time being, and Chen Xi didn't want to keep a distance from his wife. He didn't mind the smell of oil and smoke on her body. He hugged her waist, pinched her chin, and kissed her. It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that Chen Xi let go. Shu Ying panted and hurried to open the door.

The one outside the door was Xia's mother, who came back with Xia Lina yesterday. She was in her fifties, well dressed, and looked quite young.

Then I heard the other party ask very naturally and familiarly: "Mrs. Chen, what kind of food do you cook? Why does it smell so good? I just saw you send a bowl to the neighbor next door. My son-in-law's family is also a neighbor to yours, how about sending a bowl to my family too?"

Shu Ying: "..."

Chapter 160

She couldn't possibly give the fried meatballs to Xia Lina. She sent away Xia's mother who took her for a fool and went to the kitchen to fry tofu puffs.

Xia's mother didn't get any advantage and went back to Fang's house swearing.

In front of Fang's mother and Fang Boran, Xia's mother still had a gentle smile and a reasonable look on her face. She turned around and went to the room with her daughter.

Xia's mother started to swear again, scolding the daughter-in-law next door for being too stingy and calculating. It's not her daughter's fault that she can't get along with the other party. She also told Xia Lina to be careful of the daughter-in-law of the Chen family next door. In fact, the daughter-in-law next door looks like a vixen. Who knows if she will seduce her man?

"Mom, Yang Shuying is a petty woman. Why are you going to her house? I don't have a good relationship with her. How could she send food to our family?" After seeing Yang Shuying last time, Xia Lina was very jealous of Yang Shuying's good looks. Why did Yang Shuying not only not become ugly but also become more and more beautiful and white?

Xia Lina secretly asked Gao Dasao how Yang Shuying became white, but unfortunately Gao Dasao said that Yang Shuying inherited her grandmother's white skin, which made Xia Lina jealous.

Xia Lina could only curse Yang Shuying in her heart that she would become uglier and uglier after giving birth.

Mother Xia thought that it was because the food next door smelled so good. She just saw the children of that family bring a bowl of fried meatballs to the next door. The fried meatballs were fried in oil and smelled very good.

Families with rich financial resources would not be willing to fry meatballs in oil all year round, but the young wife next door was very good at sewing.

Mother Xia asked her son-in-law about the family next door in the morning and learned that the man next door had a higher military rank than her son-in-law, and his salary was higher than her son-in-law and slightly lower than his son-in-law. I heard that he had made meritorious service in this mission and had a bright future.

Otherwise, how could the wife next door be so good at sewing?

Mother Xia complained that Xia Lina, such a good match, was not introduced to her younger sister earlier.

Xia Lina had a mediocre relationship with the younger sister of the Xia family since she was a child, so how could she introduce any match to her?

The younger sister of the Xia family had already obtained a marriage certificate, so Xia's mother didn't say much, but just sighed that this girl didn't have the luck and ability of her sister to find a man who was a soldier with a high salary.

Xia's mother was very fond of her son-in-law who was a soldier. Her son-in-law was good-looking, had a high salary, and didn't have the problem of beating women. He was much better than the men of young ladies, and he was very good to her daughter Lina.

Xia's mother could see very clearly that if the couple really wanted to divorce, it would be easy for her son-in-law to find a good partner after the divorce, but it would be difficult for her daughter.

Xia's mother now earnestly told her daughter not to quarrel with her son-in-law, and to get along well with Fang's mother on the surface. If she quarreled with Fang's mother, what would happen to her reputation?

Xia's mother scolded Xia Lina for being brainless again.

These days, Xia Lina has been saying bad things about Yang Shuying when she returns to the Xia family. Xia's mother feels sorry for her and thinks that the daughter-in-law of the Chen family next door is very cunning.

Otherwise, how come her daughter-in-law's good reputation and job are gone as soon as she arrives? And her relationship with her son-in-law is getting worse and worse?

Xia's mother said, "When your son-in-law asked you to send money to the old lady, you should have sent some for face. Even if you sent money, the old lady couldn't take the children to your house. If you don't send a penny, you have no reason. How can your son-in-law think of you? Now it's good. In the future, your son-in-law will pay half of his salary to the old lady every month. You still have to support a few people who eat for free. You say, you are so stupid, kid?" Xia Lina now regrets it. Two days ago, her husband went to her mother's house to pick her up. She made a fuss and refused to pay Fang's mother's salary. Her husband used to coax her, but he didn't pick her up for a few days, even when the New Year was approaching. Today, her parents insisted that she go back to celebrate the New Year, and her mother came back with her. There are several freeloaders in the family, Xia Lina is upset. Xia's mother suddenly asks, "Have you asked your son-in-law what happened to his elder brother?"

"It was an accident while digging coal at the construction site!"

"No compensation for the accident?"

"Mom, what do you mean?"

Xia's mother says that such accidents usually have compensation, and the money is probably not a small amount, so she might not lose out by raising two freeloaders.

Besides, the job of my son-in-law's uncle can make money. Xia's mother said, "My son-in-law's mother must have a lot of money! I estimate it's thousands of yuan!"

As soon as Xia's mother finished speaking, Xia Lina's eyes lit up and she was very excited: "Mom, are you serious? My mother-in-law has thousands of yuan?"

Xia Lina's voice trembled as she spoke. Thousands of yuan, how much money is that!

"Is that true?" Xia's mother continued, "I see that the two children of my son-in-law's uncle are not too young, and the older one can help you with things. It's only a matter of a few years to raise the two children, and you may even receive a dowry in the future. As for my son-in-law's nephew, you have done enough for him by raising him up, and you don't need to find a wife for him, and my son-in-law can't say anything. And old lady, you treat the two children well, and when she can't hold on for a few years, she will give you all her private money?"

Xia's mother became more and more angry, angry that her daughter-in-law had no brains, and she used the example of the daughter-in-law next door, saying how good she was at being a person.

However, Xia's mother certainly didn't believe that the daughter-in-law next door was willing to raise a freeloader for no reason, either for fame or for other reasons.

The more Xia Lina listened, the more she felt that what her mother said was true. However, feeding the two children would earn her thousands of yuan, which was really worth it. She could also have a good reputation. Why didn't she think of it at the beginning?

Now, Yang Shuying just raised a nephew, and she didn't know whether she was really good to the child or just pretending to be good to him. Everyone in the military district praised her to the sky. If she really didn't want to raise the two children, other people in the military district might say that she was not as good as Yang Shuying, the fox, raccoon, and spirit!

"Mom, what should I do now? And what about my husband's salary?"

Mother Xia asked her to get along well with Mother Fang first, and let Mother Fang and her son-in-law see that she is good to the two children. When her son-in-law and the old lady know that she is willing to raise children and treat them well, will the old lady still have the nerve to accept money from her son-in-law?

In the future, she can not only get a lot of money from raising children, but also gain reputation. How can Xia Lina not agree?

Shuying didn't know what the mother and daughter of the Xia family were thinking. At this time, the three of them were sitting at the table in the main hall to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

The New Year's Eve dinner Shuying made was quite rich. Nowadays, it is very good for a big family to have two or three meat dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner.

She has a small family, so she also cooked three meat dishes, including fried meatballs, stewed pig's trotters with soybeans, spicy rabbit meat, boiled tofu, and several other vegetables.

Chen Yi was dazzled by the sight of so many delicious dishes. He loved fried meatballs the most. Shuying placed fried meatballs and spicy rabbit meat in front of him.

Chen Yi's cheeks were bulging from eating so much, and he also ate a lot of spicy rabbit meat. He curiously asked how they could have spicy rabbit meat if they didn't pick any rabbits?

Shuying said to Chen Yi, "This is what your grandma sent us to eat."

Chen Xi knew about this and told the child to be filial to grandma in the future. Chen Yi immediately replied, "I will definitely be filial to grandma. I will give all the money I earn to my aunt in the future!"

Shuying wanted to laugh and was moved by the innocent words of a child. She served a small bowl of pig's trotters to the big and small children and let them taste it. Chen Xi looked at his wife tenderly and said in a deep voice, "You can use the money you earn to support your wife!" His wife would support herself.

"I don't want my wife to pay for it! My father spent a lot of money to marry my stepmother!" Chen Yi looked disgusted.

Shuying almost choked when she heard this, but Chenxi showed no expression. She was serving her a bowl of soybean pig's trotters. She didn't want to eat pig's trotters at the moment, but wanted to eat other dishes. Chenxi gave her almost all meat dishes, asking her to eat more.

Shuying: "..."

It was her first time to make soybean pig's trotters. Chenxi and the children ate them deliciously. The soft and chewy pig's trotters had no hairy smell. It was the first time that Chenxi and his nephew knew that pig's trotters were so delicious.

There was a table of delicious dishes, and Shuying was still worried that she made too much and couldn't finish them. In the end, she ate them all, especially her husband, who had a big appetite, cleaned up the tails, not wasting anything.

After washing the dishes, Chen Xi went out. It was still early after the New Year's Eve dinner. Chen Yi wanted to go to the next door to play with the three brothers of the Gao family. Shu Ying agreed and gave him a red envelope and put it in his pocket. As for his uncle's red envelope, he could ask him for it later!

Chen Yi was very happy to receive the red envelope. His face was red with excitement. Especially since his aunt let him spend the money in the red envelope as he pleased, Chen Yi was very excited.

Chen Yi received the red envelope. The three brothers of the Gao family next door also received red envelopes after the New Year's Eve dinner. Gao Tuan and Gao Dasao each gave one. Gao Dasao picked it up and gave each child one cent. Gao Tuan was more generous this year and gave each child five cents, which was enough to make the three brothers of the Gao family very happy.

Gao Zhi, the oldest, was extremely happy this time. After all, his father only gave one cent more than his mother in previous years, but this year his father gave five cents to each of the three brothers.

Just now, when Chen Yi went to Gao's house to play, Gao Yuan was showing off his two red envelopes to Chen Yi, and asked him if he had any red envelopes and how much money he had given. Gao Zhigao was also a child after all, and was very curious about how much money Aunt Yang and Uncle Chen gave to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi said, "My aunt gave me a red envelope, but my uncle didn't!"

Gao Zhigao told Gao Yuan and his three brothers that they thought Chen Yi only had one red envelope, and the three brothers looked at him with sympathy.

After Chen Yi opened the red envelope, the three Gao brothers were shocked to see that Aunt Yang actually gave Chen Yi's younger brother (the eldest) a piece of money.

The three brothers screamed, and Gao Dasao and Gao Tuan, who were still eating New Year's Eve dinner in the main hall, thought something had happened.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Gao Dasao shouted!

The excited second brother Gao Xiangxian ran into the main hall and shouted to Gao Tuan and Gao Dasao: "Dad, Mom, Aunt Yang actually gave Chen Yi's younger brother a piece of money!"
