Chapter 161
The three brothers of the Gao family were stunned by the red envelope of one yuan, and even Gao Tuan and Gao's wife were a little stunned.
Gao Tuan and Gao's wife didn't quite believe it, and called Chen Yi to go in. When they confirmed that Yang Meizi (brother-in-law) really gave a child a yuan, they were dumbfounded.
Good guy!
How could Yang Meizi (brother-in-law) be so generous? Does Chen Tuan know?
Gao Tuan picked up a chopstick of food and put it in his mouth.
Now, he remembered the fried meatballs that Chen Yi brought just now. He and his wife tasted one just now. The meatballs were fried in oil. Most people would not dare to eat it like this!
But the fried meatballs tasted really good, and the couple and several children were so delicious that they swallowed their tongues.
The sister-in-law was really willing to give it, but I wonder if Chen Tuan was under a lot of pressure?
Gao Dasao just complained that her husband gave too much money for five cents, let alone one dollar.
The couple didn't say anything, but the three Gao brothers were jealous and went crazy, whispering to Chen Yi, asking him whether he could spend the money himself or hand it over.
Chen Yi smiled and replied proudly: "My aunt said I can spend it however I want!"
The three Gao brothers were excited again, shouting loudly, this time they were really jealous, more jealous than Chen Yi getting a one-dollar red envelope.
After all, the red envelopes of the three brothers were collected by Gao Dasao the next day, and the three brothers were very dissatisfied.
Gao Tuan also knew about this, and he immediately said that the three boys could spend or save the red envelopes they received this year.
The three brothers of the Gao family jumped up excitedly, and even the most stable eldest brother Gao Zhi asked Gao Tuan with ecstasy: "Dad, really?"
"Dad, are you serious?" Gao Xiang also asked excitedly.
Gao Tuan was generous, and Gao Dasao was very sad. What did the three brats spend?
However, Yang Meizi even gave a dollar. If she still wanted to accept the red envelopes from these three brats, I am afraid that these three brats would really be shameless and come to Yang Meizi's house to be her sons, and then she would be really embarrassed.
Mrs. Gao simply took some food and ate it without saying anything, which was also a tacit agreement.
Mrs. Gao's attitude made the three brothers of the Gao family even more excited. The three brothers wanted to take Chen Yi out to play, and Gao Tuan and Mrs. Gao asked Chen Yi to go to their table to taste the food.
Chen Yi had eaten and drunk enough tonight, and his stomach was bulging. How could he eat more? He rejected the kindness of Mrs. Gao Tuan and played with the three brothers in the yard.
After the children left the main hall, Gao Dasao felt sorry for Shuying: "Why did Yang Meizi give so much money to the children? This is a dollar, which can buy a pound of meat!"
Gao Dasao was numb to Yang Meizi's sewing. Now she was worried that Yang Meizi was young and newly married, so it was not worth it. She asked her husband to talk to Chen Tuan to persuade Yang Meizi.
"We'll talk about it later!"
Gao Dasao soon felt a little regretful and said: "Really let the children take the money themselves?"
This year her husband gave five cents and she gave one cent. Each boy had six cents in his hand, which was not a small amount!
Gao Tuan: "..."
Shu Ying didn't know the commotion that the money she gave to her child had caused in the Gao family. When she had just finished taking a bath and put the clothes to be washed in the wooden basin in the backyard, it started to snow again and the water in the wooden basin froze.
There was nothing to do at home, and she was alone. So, she suddenly had an idea and bought an old-fashioned simple rubber mold from the mall and made two milk popsicles. She put sugar in the milk and sprinkled some grapes inside.
There was no condition to make popsicles in the summer, so she could only make two in the winter to taste the taste.
Chen Xi, who was out for a while, heard the sound of Chen Yi playing in the Gao family when he passed by the Gao family, and went into the Gao family yard to take the person back.
However, Gao Tuan called people into the main room and sat for a while.
Mrs. Gao was washing dishes in the kitchen. Gao Tuan suddenly remembered his wife's instructions. He first said that the bowl of fried meatballs sent by his sister-in-law today would take a lot of oil. Seeing that Chen Tuan didn't move, he said, "My sister-in-law gave Chen Yi a dollar tonight. Did you know?"
Chen Xi really didn't know about this. He was slightly stunned. Gao Tuan saw that Chen Tuan definitely didn't know about this.
Gao Tuan also considered this for a long time because the relationship between the two families was good before asking. He was worried about the couple's sister-in-law's sewing too much. What will they do if they have a baby in the future?
Gao Tuan's original intention was to let Chen Tuan persuade his wife to save some money. The couple will have a big burden when they have a child in the future.
It's right to save some money now.
Chen Xi understood what Gao Tuan meant, pursed his lips and smiled, "Gao Tuan, my child suffered a little before, so my wife loves him so much. One yuan is not a lot, and my wife didn't spend much money. If there is not enough money to support the family in the future, it is my own fault. It has nothing to do with my wife. Besides, all the money she spent was spent on me and the child. My wife's good hand sewing is also because she saw I'm less at home, so you want to give me more supplements!"
Gao Tuan: "..."
When taking Chen Yi home, Chen Yi put his hands tightly in his pockets, and looked at the red envelope in his pocket from time to time, for fear of losing it. He happily showed off to his uncle the one-yuan red envelope that his aunt gave him, and said that he had the most red envelopes, and the three brothers of the Gao family only had a few cents in red envelopes, and they asked him about the red envelopes.
"No! Didn't your aunt give you a red envelope?" To be honest, when Gao Tuan learned that his wife gave Chen Yi a one-yuan red envelope, he didn't show any expression on his face, but he was also surprised in his heart. One yuan is really a lot, and it can buy a pound of meat. His wife is really generous to this kid. Chen Xi is a little jealous of his wife's kindness to this child!
Hearing that his uncle was unwilling to give him a red envelope, Chen Yi was somewhat disgusted with him for being stingy. Now he was not afraid of him at all and said with a smile: "Auntie asked me to ask you for it! Uncle, if you don't give me a red envelope, I will tell Auntie and let Auntie know that you are very stingy."
Chen Xi: "..."
Chen Xi agreed to give him a red envelope and gave him a dime red envelope, while telling him not to spend the money recklessly, save it, and save it for his own marriage!
Chen Yi was a little dumbfounded after receiving a dime red envelope. Chen Xi saw the boy's disgusted expression and thought that his dime red envelope was considered a lot, and this boy dared to be disgusted? If he was disgusted with another dime red envelope, he would not get anything!
Chen Yi: "..."
Before the Gaos went to bed at night, Gao Tuan told Gao's wife about this matter, saying that Chen Yi must have suffered some hardship before, and that the younger sister-in-law should be more caring for him.
Gao's wife was quite gossipy, and asked Gao Tuan what was going on. Chen Tuan didn't say, and he didn't know, but Chen Tuan had been here before, so he knew something. He knew that he had a brother who had remarried a few years ago, and Chen Tuan had even asked for leave to go back to attend his brother's wedding.
His brother was still alive, so the child was raised by Chen Tuan and his wife, but Chen Tuan's brother's new wife couldn't tolerate the child.
Gao's wife was heartbroken when she heard this, and it was no wonder that Yang Meizi cared for the child so much!
Gao Tuan laughed and scolded again: "Chen Tuan really protects my sister-in-law. I have never seen him protect anyone so much before. He doesn't mind my sister-in-law spending more money, and he takes all the responsibility on himself. Let's not worry about it. Besides, my sister-in-law is rich, but all the money she spends is on Chen Tuan and the child!"
Even Gao Tuan admired this point, and said that Chen Tuan had a lot of money rewarded for his meritorious service on this mission. If my sister-in-law spends money again, Chen Tuan will definitely be able to support her!
Sister Gao was particularly envious when she heard this, and she was even more envious of Chen Tuan for having a money reward for his meritorious service. Although Chen Tuan and Chen Yi are lucky, Yang Meizi is also lucky!
In the house, after the child fell asleep, Chen Xi asked his wife why she gave the child so much money.
The quilt was warm, and there was a "big stove" next to her. In summer, she felt too hot when her husband held her, and in winter, she didn't mind sleeping in her husband's arms.
The quilt was so comfortable to sleep in, and she felt a little drowsy. She didn't think much and said, "How much? I think it's okay!"
Chen Xi: "..."
Shu Ying spent the first year of her life in this world with her husband. She really didn't know the price of money here. In her era, the red envelopes were at least 100 yuan. She thought it was okay to give one yuan by herself.
But when she heard her husband say that Gao Tuan and Gao Dasao next door gave the three brothers of the Gao family red envelopes of one cent and five cents, she was a little dumbfounded and immediately stared at her husband with wide eyes.
Chen Xi didn't say that the one yuan she gave shocked Gao Tuan, but Shuying thought of other aspects.
After all, children like to compare. If she gave her own child a yuan, the three brothers of the Gao family also asked Gao Dasao to give one yuan. Wouldn't it be the death of Gao Dasao if each of the three brothers of the Gao family gave one yuan?
Each family has its own market conditions. Ordinary families can't afford to give each child one yuan.
If the three brothers of the Gao family make trouble, it will be difficult for Gao Dasao not to blame her!
Shuying was a little annoyed and regretted that she didn't think it through.
Chen Xi was somewhat helpless when he heard that his wife did not regret giving Chen Yi a dollar but regretted not telling the child to keep his mouth shut.
"How much did you give the child?" Shu Ying blinked curiously.
When she learned that her husband only gave the child a dime, Shu Ying was somewhat dumbfounded and a little disgusted that the man was too stingy.
"Do you dislike me for being stingy?" the man asked in a deep voice.
Shu Ying immediately denied: "No!"
Chen Xi held her and pressed her head and kissed her. Shu Ying was not in the mood to do anything at this moment. She opened her mouth to speak, but the man's lips and tongue easily swept in, kissing her and making her whole body go limp. The next second, the man succeeded.
Men are naturally strong, and they don't need to train during the New Year holidays, so they can only use their accumulated strength on her.
After the two of them finished the three things, Shuying was sweating profusely as if he had just been pulled out of the water. He couldn't move a finger, his throat was a little hoarse, and his wet hair stuck to her cheek. Chen Xi pushed it away and kissed her cheek, feeling particularly satisfied.
Shuying was angry that this man had tortured her too many times and was too strong, and he still thought she was wasting her energy, so she glared at him: "Are you going to torture me to death?"
After his wife fell asleep, Chen Xi put a red envelope under her pillow and hugged her to sleep with a satisfied look on his face.
Chapter 162
Compared to the one-cent red envelope that Chen Yi received from her husband, Shuying received nearly a thousand from her husband in the morning. She was shocked.
After breakfast, she hurried to her husband to ask what was going on.
The child was not at home for the time being, so Chen Xi pulled him to sit on his lap. There were only the two of them at home, so Shuying sat on her husband's lap and asked what was going on with the money.
From her husband, she learned that her husband had received a reward of six or seven hundred for his meritorious service in this mission, plus this month's salary and allowance, which was about the same amount of money.
She was tortured by this man last night and was a little angry. Now that this man gave her such a big red envelope, she couldn't be angry.
But compared to the one-cent red envelope for her own child, wasn't her man too partial to her?
Shuying coughed a few times and asked in a low voice: "Are you really going to give me such a big red envelope?"
"All for you!"
"I'm good at spending money on weekdays!"
"Whatever you want!"
"Are you too partial to me?"
Chen Xi raised her lips and looked at her tenderly, saying nothing, tacitly agreeing!
Shuying, who lit candles for her own children: "..."
The young couple had a close encounter early in the morning. Chen Xi had to go out for something, so Shuying left some money for her man to keep, and put the rest of the money in the shopping space.
Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, and there will definitely be many children paying New Year's greetings. Shuying hurriedly took out the potato chips, snowflake crisps, peanuts, melon seeds, candied fruit, and longans that she had made before and put them on the table in the main hall.
As expected!
Not long after, a group of children came to her house to pay New Year's greetings. Chen Yi took the lead, followed by the three brothers of the Gao family, Liang Goudan, and Fang Xiaobao.
The children greeted Shuying with ease and asked for food after the greetings.
Shuying had prepared snacks in advance and gave some of each to the children. Snow flakes and potato chips were more delicious, so Shuying gave more of these two kinds of food to the children.
Of course, she gave her own children more. Chen Yi smiled and was particularly happy to touch her bulging pockets!
Before they came, the three brothers of the Gao family and Liang Goudan knew that Aunt Yang (Chen Yi) must have a lot of food at home. When they really saw how many snacks Aunt Yang (Chen Yi's aunt) prepared, the group of children were amazed.
Auntie Yang (Chen Yi's auntie) generously gave them all kinds of snacks. There were many kinds that they had never seen or eaten before, but they looked very fragrant and delicious.
After giving them the snacks, Shuying let the children go play.
The children, with their pockets full of snacks, ran to the yard and chattered.
Gao Yuan had eaten potato chips before, and he couldn't help but take out a piece and put it in his mouth. He ate it with a crunchy sound and boasted, "This is called potato chips. Auntie Yang gave it to me last time. It was very delicious!" He asked Chen Yi, "Boss, am I right?"
Chen Yi nodded, "My auntie made it and it's very delicious!"
"What is this?" Liang Goudan asked curiously with his eyes wide open after touching a piece of snowflake crisps.
Chen Yi didn't know what it was, and he had never eaten it before, but the snowflake crisps looked good, so the children were very curious and took out a piece of snowflake crisps to chew first.
After chewing it, the children, including the oldest Gao Zhi, were amazed.
Snowflake crisps are made of sugar and milk powder, and there are so many ingredients, how can they not taste good? For the three Gao Zhi brothers, Liang Goudan, Fang Xiaobao and other children, this snowflake crisp is hundreds of times more delicious than the White Rabbit milk candy they had eaten before.
The oldest Gao Zhi praised: "This candy is so delicious!"
Gao Zhi was reluctant to finish it all at once, so he chewed it slowly, and the other children were the same, they all thought this sweet and beautiful candy was so delicious!
It was so delicious that they almost swallowed it with their tongues.
Chen Yi also thought that the snowflake crisps were very, very delicious when he ate them for the first time.
After eating snowflake crisps, everyone tried potato chips. Compared with other people's snacks, the children thought that Aunt Yang's food was the best!
Gao Zhi was very happy, but he had not forgotten how the third child had boasted about how fragrant and delicious the potato chips made by Aunt Yang were.
Look, the potato chips were crispy and fragrant and very much in line with the taste of the two brothers. The two brothers even thought that these potato chips were tastier than the snowflake crisps they ate.
Fang Xiaobao and Liang Goudan thought that the sweet snowflake crisps were tastier than potato chips.
Chen Yi kept stuffing delicious food into his mouth, and his cheeks were bulging with food, but he thought that anything made by his aunt was the best!
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Shuying and Chen Xi took their children to Zhou's house to pay New Year's greetings.
Coincidentally, the couple went to Zhou's house to pay New Year's greetings, and Cao Rou and her husband were there too.
Cao Rou was sitting on the sofa and talking intimately with Ye Shuning, but she didn't expect Yang Shuying to come. Seeing that Zhou Tuan immediately changed to entertain Yang Shuying's man and talked to her man instead of paying attention to her man, Cao Rou looked particularly unhappy.
In fact, it was not that Zhou Shengtian ignored Captain Lu, but Chen Xi's momentum was too strong, so Captain Lu didn't dare to speak for some reason.
Aunt Zhou and Ye Shuning invited Shuying to sit down.
After not seeing each other for a while, Aunt Zhou and Ye Shuning were very surprised by Shuying's changes and almost didn't recognize him. Not only Aunt Zhou and Ye Shuning were surprised, but Cao Rou almost didn't recognize Shuying.
After not seeing her for a while, she seemed to have changed drastically. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting, and her skin was much whiter and tenderer than before. She was so beautiful that it was shocking.
Especially in broad daylight, that extremely delicate little face was really white and clear, and there was no flaw when looking closely. Her hair was black and scattered, and her temperament was good, which was particularly outstanding.
Cao Rou has always been arrogant and doesn't like to be suppressed by others, especially those who are sure that she is hiding the way to whitening and deliberately not telling her.
Cao Rou said in a gloomy tone, "Teacher Yang, how come you have changed so much after not seeing you for a while? I almost couldn't recognize you. How did you become fairer? Why didn't my skin change much even though I applied cucumber every day according to the method you told me?"
Shu Ying said calmly, "Teacher Cao, my fair skin is natural. My mother said that I inherited my grandmother's good skin. My grandmother had very fair skin when she was young. It's just that I became darker while doing farm work in the village. Later, I married my man and didn't have to do any work. Isn't it fair again?"
He also said that heredity is more important than acquired maintenance. Cao Rou was speechless and felt suffocated.
Aunt Zhou and Ye Shuning suddenly realized that it was not surprising that A-Xi's (Chen Tuan's) skin was so good, but that A-Xi's (Chen Tuan's) face was too white!
Especially Aunt Zhou had never seen any lesbian with a whiter face than A-Xi's in her life, including Ye Shuning!
Ye Shuning originally wanted to ask how she became white, but after hearing this, Ye Shuning immediately gave up the idea.
Shuying handed the snowflake pastry she brought to Aunt Zhou, saying that she made it herself, and it was not something valuable, so she wanted the Zhou family to taste it.
Chen Yi also politely greeted Aunt Zhou on the New Year.
Shuying wrapped the snowflake crisps in clean paper. After Auntie Zhou took it, she said happily, "Ah Xi's wife, you young people can chat for a while, and stay at Auntie's house for lunch later!"
Because Yang Shuying was petty and refused to give her daughter cake last time, Cao Rou had a lot of opinions about her. Seeing that she pretended to please Master Zhou's wife and stayed for dinner, Cao Rou was angry and anxious.
Seeing that Ye Shuning liked Yang Shuying's child very much and held him tightly, while talking to Yang Shuying enthusiastically, Cao Rou couldn't get a word in. She was very unwilling in her heart, and she only regretted that she didn't bring her daughter to please Mrs. Zhou Tuan.
When lunch was almost here, the Zhou family didn't keep the couple. Cao Rou and his wife were also people of honor, so they couldn't stay and had to find a chance to leave.
As soon as they left the Zhou family, Cao Rou's face was ugly, indicating that Yang Shuying and his wife were too deep-minded, and the child was also very scheming, and used to please the family of Commander Zhou.
Cao Rou couldn't get over it, but Captain Lu had nothing to complain about. After all, there was a big difference between his and Chen Tuan's military rank. This time, Chen Tuan was on a mission and made meritorious service. If he was not too young, he could be promoted to a higher level and had a bright future. It was normal for Commander Zhou to keep him for dinner.
This was also the first time that Captain Lu saw the petty-minded wife of Chen Tuan that his wife mentioned. He was almost stunned when he saw her for the first time.
No wonder the military region said that Chen Tuan's wife was famous for her good looks. He only realized how beautiful she was now?
Captain Lu was very jealous of Chen Tuan's good fortune.
"Was that Chen Tuan?" Cao Rou asked again.
She didn't expect Yang Shuying's man to be so handsome. Cao Rou felt very uncomfortable. When she learned from her man that the other party had made meritorious service, Commander Zhou would invite the couple to dinner. Cao Rou felt even more uncomfortable and sour. She decided to get closer to Ye Shuning in the future so that Commander Zhou would value her man more.
After having lunch at Zhou's house, Shuying's family of three returned to their own yard.
On the way back, she heard people talking about Xia Lina agreeing to raise two nephews. This time, she gave money for the New Year and gave each of the two children a dime.
Nowadays, every household gives more than one or two cents to their children, and few give more money.
So many sisters-in-law in the military region say that Xia Lina is kind.
Some people also say that she went back to her parents' home a few days ago, and Deputy Tuan Fang went to pick her up but she didn't come back. It is estimated that she doesn't want to raise two children. Now this attitude has changed very quickly.
Some people also say that Xia Lina is being taken advantage of by raising two nephews and nieces?
Shuying just listened to these gossips. She didn't want to get involved in Xia Lina's affairs. Of course, if Xia Lina really changed her mind and was willing to raise two children, she would be happy for Fang's mother and Fang Xiaobao's sister and brother.
As soon as the family of three arrived at the gate of their own yard, Deputy Tuan Fang came out with a happy face and called Chen Xi to stop. Shuying took the children into the house first.
After Shuying and the child went in, Deputy Tuan Fang rubbed his hands with a happy look on his face and said, "Tuan Chen, my wife agreed to raise the two children and apologized to my mother!"
Xia Lina agreed to raise his brother's two children and apologized to his mother, which surprised Deputy Tuan Fang. Deputy Tuan Fang didn't know why he wanted to tell Chen Tuan about this.
Perhaps he always liked to compete with Chen Tuan. Although he didn't plan to compete with Chen Tuan now, he didn't want to admit that his vision was worse than Chen Tuan and that the wife he found was not as good as Chen Tuan's wife. Although his wife's appearance was indeed not as good as Chen Tuan's wife, she might not be inferior to Chen Tuan's wife in other aspects.
"My wife gave Xiuxiu and Xiaobao a dime each during the Chinese New Year yesterday!" Deputy Tuan Fang said excitedly.
"Well, my wife gave Chen Yi a packet of money!" Chen Xi said expressionlessly.
Deputy Head Fang: "..."
Chapter 163
"Gao Tuan, I didn't say anything. I just said that my wife gave my eldest brother and two children a dime each during the Chinese New Year. Chen Tuan, on the other hand, said that his wife gave Chen Yi a dime. I don't know what to say. I don't want to compete with Chen Tuan. Besides, there is no difference between a dime and a dollar. The most important thing is the thought, right? Why did Chen Tuan suddenly compare his wife with mine?"
"His wife is good, my wife is... Not bad, what she said before was a misunderstanding. She was worried that she would be too stressed out by having children in the future. Now she has come to her senses and said that she would raise the two children well and let me live up to my brother!"
Deputy Tuan Fang was very touched. Gao Tuan thought that there was still a difference between a dime and a dollar. However, Deputy Tuan Fang was not wrong. The most important thing was the thought, not the money. But who told Deputy Tuan Fang to show off and show off in front of Tuan Chen?
Tuan Chen usually doesn't care about other things, but he protects his wife? Last time, he didn't even say a few words of advice, but he was already protecting her. He couldn't bear to say anything bad about his brother's wife. He showed off in front of Tuan Chen, so it's not okay for Tuan Chen to say a word in return?
What Chen said to Deputy Commander Fang was really amazing!
Sitting in the main room, he listened to Deputy Commander Fang's complaints with an embarrassed look on his face, but wanted to laugh. After a while, he sent him away.
After everyone left, Gao Dasao, who had overheard the incident, came out of the kitchen and said unhappily, "There is a big difference between one cent and one dollar. What do you mean there is no difference? Let Xia Lina give the two children one dollar to see if she is willing to do it? Yang Meizi is really good to the children, but Deputy Tuan Fang's family is not necessarily the same. Last time, she scolded the old lady in person for being stubborn and scolding the two children for eating for free. Xia Lina didn't do anything. She just gave one cent. How could Deputy Tuan Fang believe her so quickly?"
Gao Tuan thought that Xia Lina was willing to give one cent, which was good. His wife would feel bad if she gave a penny. Besides, one cent was not a problem. The key was Xia Lina's attitude. Whether she was willing to live well with Deputy Tuan Fang and raise the two children was the key.
This time, Deputy General Fang didn't get any good results when he went to Chen Tuan to show off his wife, right?
Deputy General Fang's family was willing to live a good life with Deputy General Fang. Gao Tuan was quite happy for Deputy General Fang, thinking that it was the credit of Deputy General Fang's mother-in-law's persuasion last time.
As the saying goes, a couple quarrels at the head of the bed and makes up at the foot of the bed, so how can there be any overnight hatred?
Gao Dasao is not as optimistic as her husband thinks.
Xia Lina's attitude has changed so much that it really makes people think less.
With Xia Lina's character, if she can treat Deputy General Fang's eldest brother and his two children half as well as Yang Meizi treats Chen Yi, she will admire it.
After Shuying brought the children home, she did not forget the milk popsicles she made.
She took one and shared it with her husband.
The child's stomach was too weak, so she didn't dare to feed him. While the child was playing in the yard, she and her husband sat in the main room and secretly ate popsicles.
It must be said that eating popsicles in the winter was really a special pleasure.
Chen Xi had no interest in popsicles. After taking a bite, she frowned and didn't approve of her eating popsicles.
Chen Xi's expressionless face made people feel pressured. Shu Ying was not afraid of her husband at all and asked, "How does it taste?"
"Too cold, just average!"
Shu Ying: "..."
She didn't believe it and took a bite. It was so cold that her teeth trembled, which was particularly enjoyable.
But besides being too cold, the milk popsicles tasted really good. The milk nowadays is very pure, and it is sweet with sugar and has a strong milky aroma, which is particularly fragrant. She also sprinkled some raisins, which added a little flavor. The taste is really good.
What's so ordinary?
If there are conditions in summer, children will definitely love to eat popsicles.
Shuying thinks her man has no good taste. She wrapped herself in a woolen coat, and her mouth and nose turned red when she ate the popsicles. Seeing that her man's face was getting uglier and uglier, Shuying hurriedly said with guilt: "I just tasted it. This popsicle is made by me with milk. It would be a waste to throw it away!"
"Too cold is not good for your health!" Chen Xi said expressionlessly.
"I won't eat after this one!"
The man's stern expression eased a little, and Shuying handed the popsicle to him, coaxing him to ask if he wanted to have another bite.
Shuying was seen by Chen Yi when she fed her man the popsicle.
"Auntie, uncle, what are you eating?" Chen Yi ran into the main room, looking at his aunt and uncle secretly eating delicious food behind his back with an unbelievable look on his face.
The little guy looked at his uncle and aunt with a "resentful" look, and it was almost written on his forehead that "Why do you only give delicious food to uncle and not to me"!
Isn't he the favorite child of auntie?
"What's that expression?" Shuying laughed at her child's expression. The popsicle was too cold, and she really didn't dare to give it to her child.
She said, "This is a popsicle, very cold, you probably don't like it!"
Needless to say, the milk popsicle sprinkled with raisins is quite good-looking. At Chen Yi's request, he insisted on having a bite.
Shu Ying had no choice but to let him have a bite, and told him that he could only have one bite, and not eat more, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable.
Chen Yi nodded without hesitation. When he took the first bite, he stamped his feet and trembled because of the cold. After strongly asking for the second bite, the sweet and milky popsicle made Chen Yi's eyes widen suddenly, and he was especially surprised by the first time he ate fried meatballs: "Delicious!"
No matter how delicious it was, she didn't dare to let this boy eat more. Didn't you see how dark her man's face was?
"Okay, taste it and go play quickly!" Shu Ying sent the child away.
"Auntie, what is this made of? It's delicious! I want more!" Chen Yi stood there and refused to leave.
Chen Xi ate the last half of the popsicle expressionlessly. After eating, she went out. Shu Ying didn't dare to say anything. Chen Yi was dumbfounded and screamed in anger.
In the evening, Gao Dasao talked to Shu Ying. Shu Ying was still worried that Gao Dasao's family would be unhappy because of a red envelope of one yuan. Seeing that Gao Dasao's attitude towards Tai was the same as before, Shu Ying was slightly relieved.
Gao Dasao first complained to her about Deputy Commander Fang showing off the one-cent red envelope Xia Lina gave to Commander Chen and was humiliated. She also complained to her about Xia Lina giving one-cent red envelopes to Deputy Commander Fang's two nephews and nieces, and most of the sisters-in-law in the military region knew about it.
She had just come back and heard a lot of people talking about this. She guessed that it was most likely Xia Lina who made the noise.
Otherwise, how could so many sisters-in-law know that Xia Lina had paid a dime?
Mrs. Gao was very disdainful of Xia Lina's behavior.
Shuying focused on her man's words to protect her from Deputy Tuan Fang, blinked, and felt quite happy.
Mrs. Gao complained that Deputy Tuan Fang was probably not reliable, and her attitude changed too quickly: "Deputy Tuan Fang regretted marrying Xia Lina before, but now he's on the baby again?"
Xia Lina just said a few words about her willingness to raise a child, and she didn't do anything, but Deputy Tuan Fang believed her. She wanted to see what kind of trouble Xia Lina could make in the future?
Shuying felt that Xia Lina, the baby of Vice Captain Fang, was nothing. After all, Xia Lina was not bad looking and had feelings for Vice Captain Fang. If Xia Lina was really willing to take good care of the old lady and the two children, Vice Captain Fang would definitely treat her wholeheartedly. It all depended on whether Xia Lina really wanted to understand or just pretended to understand!
While Shuying was talking to Mrs. Gao, Xia Lina came back with a wooden barrel and a fishing rod with a dark face, bringing Fang Xiaobao back.
Fang Xiaobao was small and could not walk that fast. Xia Lina scolded him impatiently, and Fang Xiaobao's face turned pale and he hurried to catch up.
Mrs. Gao couldn't stand it and deliberately said, "Mr. Fang, didn't your husband say that you have become a better person? He is willing to raise two children, but you treat them like this? If the father of the children hadn't given his place in the army to your husband, would you and your husband have such a good life now?"
Xia Lina didn't expect that she was so unlucky. She was seen by Mrs. Gao just when she lost her temper, and was also seen by Yang Shuying, the fox, raccoon, and spirit?
Xia Lina's face froze, but she was determined to rebuild her reputation, better than Yang Shuying, the fox, raccoon, and spirit. Xia Lina forced a smile and said, "Mrs. Gao, Mr. Chen, you misunderstood me, and I didn't say anything. It's getting dark, and I'm in a hurry to go back and make dinner!" After that, she spoke to Fang Xiaobao in a gentle voice.
Mrs. Gao almost rolled her eyes. She knew very well that since Fang's mother came, it was the old lady who cooked for Deputy Captain Fang and Xia Lina and their husbands.
"Deputy Captain Fang, are you going fishing in the back mountain?" Shuying asked curiously, as if thinking about something.
If Xia Lina really went to the river in the back mountain to fish by digging ice, she would probably not catch anything. No wonder her face was so dark and ugly?
Xia Lina's face turned green after being laughed at by Yang Shuying, the fox, raccoon, and spirit. Mrs. Gao was very curious about how many fish she caught, so she ran over to take a look.
When she looked, there was no fish in the wooden barrel.
Xia Lina's face turned green and purple, and her expression was particularly wonderful. She hurriedly picked up the wooden barrel and took Fang Xiaobao back to Fang's house.
Mrs. Gao suddenly realized why Xia Lina was angry with a child just now.
Most likely, she heard that Fang Xiaobao and Yang Meizi went to the back mountain to fish a lot of fish last time, so she was jealous and wanted to catch some fish, so she asked Fang Xiaobao to take her to the place where they used to fish to catch a few more fish.
As a result, she didn't catch any fish, so she got angry with Fang Xiaobao.
Why did Xia Lina think so beautifully?
Xia Lina went back to Fang's house in a rage. Now, she remembered what her husband said that when she was away, Yang Shuying next door went fishing and caught more than ten fish, which made her very jealous.
Today she specifically asked Fang Xiaobao to take her there, but she didn't catch any fish. Xia Lina was very suspicious that Fang Xiaobao had taken her to the wrong place. Just when she was about to vent her anger on Fang Xiaobao, Fang's mother came out of the kitchen and asked her to have dinner.
Xia Lina thought about the thousands of yuan in the old man's hand, so she didn't get angry. It happened that her husband just came back, and Xia Lina immediately smiled and said, "Mom, I'll help you serve the dishes!"
Chapter 164
At the dinner table, Fang Boran saw that his wife and his mother were getting along well. She didn't show her displeasure as before, and she gently asked Xiuxiu and Xiaobao to eat more vegetables. Fang Boran looked very happy. After serving Xia Lina, he also served the two children more vegetables, which made Fang's mother look better.
"Thank you, uncle!" Fang Xiuxiu and Fang Xiaobao whispered in unison.
"Mom, you should eat more vegetables too. Don't be polite. We are all family!" Xia Lina's considerate words touched Fang Boran, but Fang's mother didn't show any expression!
After dinner, Fang Boran and Xia Lina slept in bed. Xia Lina complained to her husband about Yang Shuying's weird luck. After dinner, she asked Fang Xiaobao again. Fang Xiaobao said that he didn't take the wrong way. The more Xia Lina thought about Yang Shuying's good luck, the more she wondered. Why was Yang Shuying so lucky? Why was he so lucky?
Last time, he "picked" wild boars and rabbits, and now he caught more than a dozen fish. These are more than a dozen fish. When Xia Lina first learned about this, she was jealous and her heart ached. Didn't she ask Fang Xiaobao to take her to the place where Yang Shuying, the fox, raccoon, and spirit, fished?
Who would have thought that she didn't catch any fish, and was laughed at by Gao Dasao and Yang Shuying, the fox, raccoon, and spirit!
The more Xia Lina thought about it, the more she felt unwilling and angry. Fang Boran replied indifferently: "Mrs. Chen Tuan's luck is not always good. Who asked you to stay at her parents' home? Since Mrs. Chen Tuan caught a fish two days ago, many people went to the river behind the mountain to fish the next day. Who knows if everyone else caught the other fish?"
Xia Lina choked and suddenly regretted going back to her parents' home. Why didn't she get such a good thing?
Xia Lina was angry, but she knew that the most important thing now was to please her man.
That night, Xia Lina took the initiative to put down her status and imitated Yang Shuying's soft and considerate voice. Needless to say, Fang Boran was quite fond of this set, and the couple had a soul-stirring night.
The Chen family of three also had dinner, washed up, and went to bed early.
However, before Shuying went to bed, she first patiently applied skin care products to her face, and gently applied them to the sleeping child's face. She asked her husband if he wanted to apply some.
Shuying carefully looked at her husband and found him to be very good-looking, with deep and hard features, but his skin was a little dry.
Chen Xi refused without hesitation, half lying on the bed, his eyes fell on her crystal clear face and his eyes paused.
Under the dim light, her hair was scattered, and her dark and thick hair made her face look particularly crystal clear and dazzlingly white.
Chen Xi had never thought that someone could be so white!
Shuying didn't pay attention to her man's gaze, and applied the face but not the body.
In fact, most of the times she applied lotions to her skin before, she did it right after taking a shower in the backyard. The temperature dropped sharply tonight, and she couldn't stand the cold, so she decided to go back to the house to apply it.
She didn't hesitate for long, and whispered to her man if he could apply a lotion on her.
Chen Xi patted the bed and asked her to come up.
Shuying was so cold that she hurriedly took the Friendship lotion and got into bed.
This lotion was sent to her by her mother-in-law from Kyoto last time. She dripped half a drop of nectar into it, and the effect was very good.
"Where to apply it?" the man asked in a deep voice.
Shuying had taken off his clothes and lay down, saying, "Just help me apply the lotion on my back, I'll do the rest myself!"
Chen Xi: "..." It's no wonder his wife's face and skin became so white. He had seen people who were particular, but he had never seen anyone as particular as his wife, who applied lotion on her face and body every day.
However, he knew how tender and good his wife's skin was. Thinking of this, his eyes became darker and darker.
At Shuying's urging, Chen Xi hurriedly applied the lotion on his wife's back. Chen Xi wanted to help with other parts, but Shuying applied it himself under the quilt.
The man's throat was a little dry when he heard his wife's movements.
After applying, Shuying asked her man to put the lotion on the table beside the bed, and dressed to go to bed.
"Are you done?"
"Yeah!"
Shuying slept next to her man, the source of heat, but the man next to her suddenly turned over and pressed her down. Shuying's eyes widened, and her eyes went dark. The man lowered his head to cover her lips and kissed her fiercely and intensely.
While kissing, he asked her if her lower abdomen was cold? Was she uncomfortable? The warm big hand controlled the strength to rub her lower abdomen through her clothes.
Shuying was panting and shaking her head inexplicably after being kissed, while pushing the man down.
She didn't want to be tortured every night. These days, since this man came back from a mission, he has not missed a day. He has sex with her three times a day and tortured her hard. She really can't stand it!
The big bed kept shaking, and the man warned in a deep voice: "Eat less cold food in the future!"
Shuying: "..."
After the work was done, Shuying was paralyzed in the man's arms, her eyes were red, her lips were red and swollen, she had no strength and could only stare at him, asking her man to get off.
"Wait a little longer!" The man who wanted to be a lady wanted to wait a little longer.
On the morning of the third day of the Chinese New Year, Niu's wife brought Niu Weiguo to her house to pay New Year's greetings. Niu Weiguo was like a calf and his voice was particularly loud when he greeted Shuying.
"Teacher Yang, Happy New Year, good luck!"
Niu's wife also specially brought a basket of vegetables, and she insisted that Shuying accept it, saying that she didn't accept the vegetables she had mentioned before, and she must say it this time during the Chinese New Year, as a token of her family's intention.
Shuying didn't delay this time and invited Niu Saozi and Niu Weiguo to sit inside.
She gave Niu Saozi some hot pot base, after all, Niu Saozi had sent her many dishes last year.
Although she didn't accept much, it was a token of her kindness that she had been sending them all the time.
The hot pot base was wrapped in clean paper, not as much as she had given to Li Hongqi's family before, just enough for one or two meals, mainly because she didn't have much left, so she asked Niu Saozi to take it back to taste it, and it could be used to stew dishes: "Sister-in-law, you should also taste my cooking skills! It's not something valuable, there's only this much left, don't think it's too little!"
Niu Saozi saw that there wasn't much of this red piece and heard that it could be used to stew dishes, so she thought it was some kind of seasoning, and didn't think much about it before accepting it.
Shuying also brought some potato chips and snowflake crisps for Niu Weiguo.
Niu Weiguo thought that he had grown up a year after the new year and was an adult, so why would he eat snacks that only children would eat.
He refused at first, saying that he didn't like snacks, but he was quickly slapped in the face after tasting the snowflake crisps and potato chips given by Teacher Yang, especially the potato chips, which were very suitable for his taste.
The crispy and fragrant potato chips were so delicious that he almost wanted to swear again. Niu Weiguo's eyes widened and he shouted: "Teacher Yang, what is this? Why is it so fragrant and delicious? Oh my God! It's so delicious, I haven't eaten anything so delicious!"
As Niu Weiguo spoke, he quickly stuffed potato chips into his mouth, chewing them with a crisp sound. Niu's wife disliked this boy for being too rude in front of Teacher Yang.
Seeing that Niu Weiguo loved to eat, Shuying grabbed a handful for him. Niu Weiguo didn't think it was too much. Niu's wife tasted a piece of potato chips and thought it tasted so good.
Niu's wife and Niu Weiguo didn't stay at Chen's house for long. Shuying was seeing someone off and met Fang Xiaobao looking for his child at the door. Fang Xiaobao was timid and his voice was low. Shuying remembered that Xia Lina scolded the child yesterday, so she softened her heart and grabbed some potato chips and a few pieces of snowflake crisps for Fang Xiaobao and put them in his pocket. She asked him to go to Gao's house next door to look for his child and asked him to come to Chen Yi to play more often in the future.
"Thank you, Auntie Chen Yi!"
After returning home, it was almost lunch time. Niu Weiguo couldn't stay and ran out to play. Niu's wife was just making lunch.
There were two fish that her son Baodan had caught before.
Sister Niu killed a fish. She originally cooked the fish as she usually does, just boiled it and added some salt.
But she remembered that her husband and Baodan and several children disliked the fish she cooked the last two times because it was unpalatable and fishy. Sister Niu didn't think of the seasoning that Teacher Yang gave her, saying that it could be used for stewing anything.
Sister Niu simply added some stewed fish soup.
Soon the fish soup turned red, fragrant and spicy, but the smell was getting better and better.
Niu's wife was about to take a bite when Niu Tuan's voice came in: "What dish in our house smells so good? Wife, what did you just cook?"
Niu's wife's cooking skills are average. When Niu Tuan went to the tube building just now, he thought someone else's family cooked so deliciously and was particularly envious. He never thought it was his own family.
Niu Tuan was very surprised and hurried into the kitchen to see what his wife had cooked. When he saw that there was fish stew in the pot, he was a little disappointed. However, the fish his wife cooked today was really different from the previous ones. Why did it smell better and better? He picked up a bite of chopsticks to taste it.
Niu Tuan was particularly surprised by the fish stewed with hot pot base. There was no fishy smell. He had a heavy taste, and the spicy hot pot taste was simply too much for his taste.
This time the fish meat had no fishy smell and was tender, tasty and spicy. Niu Tuan couldn't stop eating and kept eating even with sweat on his forehead.
This was the first time Niu Saozi had seen her husband like this and was very surprised: "How is it, is the fish stew good today?"
"Wife, what did you put in it? Why is it so delicious!" Niu Tuan asked.
"Is it really that delicious?" Niu's wife took another pair of chopsticks, and when she tasted it, she immediately widened her eyes: "Oh my God, this tastes really delicious, spicy and fragrant, what kind of seasoning did Teacher Yang give me, how come the stew tastes so good? No wonder I often hear people outside say that Teacher Yang's family is particularly good at eating, and Teacher Yang is a good cook!"
Niu's wife didn't care much about the hot pot base given by Teacher Yang just now, but now she treats it like a treasure.
When the five members of the Niu family sat down to eat at noon, not only Niu Tuan especially liked the stewed fish this time, but Niu Weiguo, Niu Yulan, and Niu Yulian, the three siblings, were also very surprised when they ate fish stewed with hot pot base for the first time.
Especially Niu Weiguo couldn't believe that the fish was stewed by his mother today. When he learned from his mother that it was so delicious because of the seasoning given by Teacher Yang, Niu Weiguo hurriedly said that his mother would cook fish like this next time, stewing it with the seasoning given by Teacher Yang and eating it like this.
Niu Tuan and the two daughters of the Niu family also agreed very much.
Niu Weiguo and Niu Tuan couldn't stop eating. They picked up the fish very quickly and didn't touch other dishes. Sister Niu Yulan was slower. They both felt that the stewed fish was a bit spicy today, but they ate a lot. Even Niu's wife put a lot of stewed fish into the dish. In the end, the soup for the whole family was not served, and it was all mixed with rice.
Not only did Niu Wei eat a fish stew with hot pot base, but today Li Hongqi's wife also remembered the hot pot base given by Chen Tuan's wife and tried to stew vegetables with it. Unexpectedly, it was more fragrant and delicious than the stew with mushroom and meat sauce, and it was especially tasty!
Her husband especially loved it and ate several more bowls of rice!
Chapter 165
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Shuying received another basket of vegetables from Niu Saozi's family. The one who brought the vegetables was Niu Yulan, the eldest daughter of Niu Saozi. The little girl had two braids and looked a bit like Niu Saozi. She was very shy and said that the hot pot base she sent wasted oil, so her mother felt bad and sent another basket of vegetables for her to take.
Shuying was impressed by how simple people were in this era. Although the hot pot base wasted oil, she didn't give much to Niu Saozi's family. On the contrary, Niu Saozi gave a lot of vegetables. Her hot pot base was nothing compared to Niu Saozi's baskets of vegetables.
Seeing that Niu Yulan was about to run after putting down the basket of vegetables, she hurriedly called for help.
Seeing that the girl looked pale, Shuying took a bag of brown sugar from the counter and asked her to take it back.
A bag of brown sugar is a rare commodity in the current era of material shortages, and it costs more than one yuan on the black market.
Niu Yulan refused to take it at first, and Shuying asked her if she often had menstrual cramps. The girl blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.
Shuying didn't say much, just told her to avoid cold water during menstruation and drink more brown sugar water on weekdays, which is good for the health of lesbians. She also said that if she didn't take it, she wouldn't accept the basket of vegetables.
After Niu Yulan accepted it, Shuying accepted the basket of vegetables.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.
After dinner, Shuying made black sesame dumplings and the family of three sat at the table in the main hall to eat.
The glutinous rice balls were too greasy, so she shared a bowl with her husband, and Chen Yi had a bowl alone. He had just eaten a bowl of glutinous rice balls at Gao Dasao's house. Shuying also served a bowl of homemade glutinous rice balls to send to Gao's house, and Chen Xi took it and sent it to Gao's house next door.
On the table, Chen Yi first scooped a white glutinous rice ball and bit through the skin.
The filling of the glutinous rice balls was specially prepared by Shuying. The filling was black sesame and sugar mashed into powder, sprinkled with a little butter, stirred and rolled into balls, and then covered with glutinous rice flour.
The glutinous rice balls made in this way have thin skin and rich fillings. The sesame filling with a strong black sesame flavor is fragrant and sweet, but not too sweet, and is particularly delicious.
Look, Chen Yi, who tasted his own glutinous rice balls, suddenly widened his eyes, buried his head and ate several in a row before looking up and excitedly saying: "Auntie, our glutinous rice balls are delicious, there are so many fillings inside!"
Just now, he also ate Xiaoyuan's glutinous rice balls. Xiaoyuan's glutinous rice balls have white fillings, and there are very few fillings. They are not very sweet and not as delicious as his.
Chen Yi told his aunt in a baby voice.
Shuying thought that sugar is now a rare and expensive thing. On weekdays, when there are distinguished guests at home, they will pour a cup of sugar water. It is good that Mrs. Gao is willing to make glutinous rice balls for the child.
As for her, she has a mall and is willing to put in the ingredients. It is normal for the child to think that her glutinous rice balls are more delicious.
"I like it, eat more!" Shuying smiled and waited for her husband to come back to eat glutinous rice balls together.
After her husband came back, Shuying sat with her husband to eat glutinous rice balls.
Chen Xi also liked to eat glutinous rice balls with thin skin and rich fillings but not too greasy, and she ate a lot.
The family of Gao Dasao next door had not left the table yet, and were tasting the glutinous rice balls made by Shuying.
Just now, when Gao Dasao and Chen Tuan tasted the black sesame glutinous rice balls made by Shuying, which had thin skin, rich fillings and were not too sweet, Chen Tuan's eyes lit up first: "The glutinous rice balls made by my sister-in-law are delicious. Why are they so delicious? Why is the filling black? What is in it?"
Gao Dasao tasted the sesame flavor and a lot of sugar, so it was no wonder that it was so fragrant. Gao Dasao felt that Yang Meizi was really smart and could make delicious food. She also felt that the filling was really not too little. She felt sorry for Yang Meizi.
Chen Tuan didn't like sweet glutinous rice balls, but he ate a lot of the glutinous rice balls sent by the Chen family.
Chen Tuan likes to eat it so much, and the three brothers of the Gao family like it even more, especially the glutinous rice balls with thin skin and rich fillings. When you bite it, it is fragrant and sweet, and the three brothers eat it with great fragrance.
In the memory of the three brothers of Gao Zhi eating glutinous rice balls, they have never eaten such delicious and fragrant glutinous rice balls.
Just now, the three brothers thought that their own glutinous rice balls tasted good, but after eating the glutinous rice balls from Aunt Yang, they knew what was really delicious. The father and sons scrambled to eat this bowl of glutinous rice balls, and the chopsticks were fighting.
After eating glutinous rice balls, the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival passed. Winter was gone and spring came. In a blink of an eye, it was March, and the weather began to warm up.
School has started early, and Shuying has resumed teaching at school like last year. She goes to school and home every day, and her husband has resumed training every day.
Since her husband has to train every day, he no longer has to spend all his energy on her, so she has upgraded the family meals.
In the past, she had one meat dish and two green vegetables per meal, but now she has two meat dishes and one green vegetable. She wants to give her husband more nutrition, fearing that he will suffer from health problems when he is on a mission.
Besides, her husband is often away from home on a mission, so she has to take advantage of him to give him more nutrition and make more delicious food when he is at home!
After school, Shuying takes her children home, lets them play, and she cooks dinner.
While her husband was away on a mission, Shuying had already learned how to kill fish, so she didn't have to bother her husband.
For dinner, she cooked fish stewed with tofu, and the other two dishes were a dish of hot and sour potato shreds and a dish of braised spareribs.
She bought the tofu fresh from the market.
First, she cooked the hot and sour potato shreds and braised spareribs. The fish stewed with tofu took the most time and was cooked last. She turned the fish over and fried both sides. When it was fried and fragrant, she added soup to stew it. Then she added tofu and stewed it slowly over a fire. The soup was milky white, fresh and fragrant.
Shuying's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds. When she cooked a few dishes wholeheartedly, the aroma of the dishes wafted to the two neighboring houses, which made Gao Dasao and Fang's mother, who were cooking, very worried.
Fang's mother had been in the military area for a long time, and she knew that the daughter-in-law of the Chen family next door was really good at sewing and her cooking smelled really good. She cooked almost every day this month, and she couldn't stand the smell sometimes, but the young daughter-in-law of the Chen family was really good to her husband and children.
When Yang Meizi cooked occasionally, Gao Dasao's family could still stand it, but Gao Dasao couldn't stand it when she cooked every day and smelled the smell of Chen's food for nearly a month.
Since the smell of Yang Meizi's food always came over, every time her family had lunch or dinner, her husband and a few brats sighed and had no appetite.
If she hadn't kept a close eye on her third child, he would have wanted to go to Yang Meizi's house to eat every day.
Gao Dasao came out of the kitchen and waved to Chen Yi to come over first, asking him what delicious food he had eaten recently? Why did it smell so good every day? The smell was so good that her family couldn't stand it.
When Chen Yi counted on his fingers and talked about what delicious dishes they ate every day, saying that there were two meat dishes and one other dish at home recently, and what dishes they were eating today, Gao Dasao was stunned.
She knew that Yang Meizi had big hands, but she didn't know that her hands were so big. She thought that even if Yang Meizi had big hands, she would eat meat every few days. Gao Dasao said, "Why do you eat like this?"
The three brothers of the Gao family who were playing in the yard were particularly jealous of Chen Yi. The little foodie Gao Yuan drooled when he heard his eldest brother talk about what dishes he ate.
It took their mother ten days or half a month to buy half a pound of meat for them to taste.
"Chen Yi, has your aunt encountered any good things recently? Why does she cook meat dishes every day? How much money does it cost?" Gao Dasao asked. Before, Yang Meizi had no problem controlling her hands, but what happened now?
Chen Yi replied: "I don't know, it doesn't seem like anything good, but my aunt said that my uncle has lost some weight since he came back from the New Year, and he needs to eat more! She also said that my uncle is very tired from training every day!"
Gao Dasao: "..." No wonder she thinks Chen Tuan looks very good recently!
Chen Yi has been a little troubled recently, and sighed: "Recently, my aunt treats my uncle better than me. She asks my uncle to drink more meat soup and eat more fish every day. My aunt used to treat me the best and only picked up vegetables for me! Now she picks up vegetables for my uncle every day!"
Mrs. Gao: "..."
"Boss, can I go to your house for dinner?" Gao Yuan looked at Chen Yi eagerly.
Chen Yi agreed without hesitation, but was finally stopped by Mrs. Gao.
Shuying finished dinner, and the big and small came back at this time.
Chen Xi took Chen Yi to wash her hands.
The family of three sat at the table to eat.
"Drink some hot fish soup before eating!" Shuying first served her husband and child a bowl of fish stewed with tofu soup. The soup was made milky white by her stew, which was particularly nutritious.
Chen Yi had been hungry for a long time. When he saw the dishes on his own table, he swallowed his saliva and buried his head in drinking fish soup and eating fish meat. The fish stewed with tofu soup was particularly fragrant and delicious. Chen Yi ate it with great relish!
Chen Xi was not picky. He would eat whatever his wife served him. Shuying also served herself a bowl of hot soup. After drinking it, her body felt warm and comfortable.
Chen Xi served his wife and Chen Yi rice. Shuying was not too hungry. She chewed slowly and let her husband and child eat more.
She picked up the ribs for the man and picked out the bones from the fish for Chen Yi, and put the fish meat after the bones were picked into his bowl.
"Thank you, auntie!" Chen Yi's round face was full of smiles, but Chen Xi couldn't bear to see it and let him pick it himself, while picking up a lot of ribs and fish meat into his wife's bowl, and the fish meat was all picked out of bones.
Before Shuying had time to eat, the dishes in his bowl piled up like a mountain. Chen Yi also diligently picked up the ribs for his auntie while eating rice and nibbling on the ribs. Shuying pursed her lips and smiled, letting the two uncles and nephews eat by themselves without paying attention to her, while picking up the dishes in the bowl.
After the child had eaten, Shuying touched her child's bulging belly and knew that the child couldn't eat any more, so she asked her husband to drink all the ribs and fish soup, especially the fish soup, which was especially good for the body.
Chen Yi pouted and felt a little jealous when he heard his aunt's concern for his uncle, but Chen Xi was very happy with his wife's concern.
After her husband had eaten all the fish soup and ribs, Shuying looked at her husband.
He didn't get fat, and there was not much change in his face and body, but his cheeks looked a little fatter, and his complexion was particularly good, and Shuying was a little satisfied.
"What do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll make it for you!" Shuying said softly.
Chen Xi's cold face was particularly gentle, and he looked at her lovingly, indicating that he would eat any dish and was not picky.
This man was so easy to keep, she liked it!
"Auntie, I also want to eat this spareribs!" At this time, Chen Yi, who had been ignored, couldn't help but interrupt.
With Shuying's consent, Chen Yi quickly smiled and said, "Auntie, Xiaoyuan's mother just asked me if there was anything good about our family? Why do you cook every day recently? Xiaoyuan's family can't eat every day because of the delicious food we have?"
When he came back just now, he saw the dinner that Xiaoyuan's mother made for them, which was all radish and cabbage without meat.
Chen Yi felt that Xiaozhi, Xiaoxiang, and Xiaoyuan were really pitiful.
Chen Xi: "..."
Shu Ying: "..."
Chapter 166
At the table in the main hall, Gao Tuan and the three brothers of the Gao family sighed as they smelled the aroma of the dishes from the Chen family next door. Even Gao Dasao could not eat her own light radish and sweet potato rice.
Why is Yang Meizi's cooking getting more and more fragrant?
Gao Dasao took a chopstick of food and stuffed it into her mouth, and was telling Gao Tuan that Yang Meizi really loves her man.
Gao Dasao thought it was too exaggerated to cook two meat dishes for Chen Tuan every day. How much money would it cost to cook two meat dishes every meal!
If it were her, would she be reluctant to do it?
Chen Tuan was tall and strong, and he didn't look weak. What was he doing?
Gao Tuan, who was sighing while eating radish and greens, was envious.
He also learned from his eldest brother what his brother-in-law's family would eat tonight, fish and ribs. Gao Tuan was drooling, and his eyes were red with envy for Chen Tuan's good life!
He really didn't expect that his brother-in-law would love men so much at such a young age. He felt that Chen Tuan was really lucky.
It's no wonder that he saw Chen Tuan's face was rosy recently, his complexion was particularly good, and his mood was also good. Since he got married, he was completely different from his cold appearance before.
If his wife was half as good to him as his brother-in-law, he would be satisfied. In fact, his wife was not bad to him, but she was too stingy, too thrifty, and too cost-effective!
If only his wife could be a little more generous!
Gao Tuan continued to sigh.
"Mom, I want to eat meat!" Gao Yuan was greedy!
"I want to eat too!" Gao Xiang shouted.
Gao Zhi felt that his mother would definitely not be willing to give it up.
It had not been long since the New Year when they had to eat meat. Gao's wife was reluctant to spend money on meat. She scolded, "What are you eating? How much meat did you three brats eat during the New Year? Isn't it enough?"
Gao's wife did not forget the fish that the three brothers had caught. She did not save any fish during the New Year and cooked all of them. The three brats still complained that it was not enough?
Gao Tuan lit the candle for his three brats. When his wife collected the dishes, the three brothers chattered. Especially Gao Zhi said that he would find a wife like Aunt Yang in the future so that he could eat meat every day.
"You are dreaming!" Gao Tuan laughed and said, "It's not easy to find a wife like your Aunt Yang. Your Uncle Chen was lucky to marry such a loving and iconic wife!"
Although the Fang family was also overwhelmed by the delicious food from the Chen family next door, Fang's mother's cooking skills were not bad. The youngest son urged her to add more oil to the dishes these days, and Fang's mother also added more oil, and the taste was not bad.
Deputy Tuan Fang was very glad to let his mother stay with him. His mother's cooking skills were not bad, and it was better than the big pot dishes from the cafeteria.
In the past month, the relationship between Deputy Tuan Fang and Xia Lina has made great progress, better than before. Now Fang's mother serves them every day, and the couple lives a comfortable life.
Fang Xiuxiu is diligent, and Fang's mother has a lot of private money, so Xia Lina is now gradually liking the two children.
Every day, she smells the delicious food from the Chen family next door, and sees that Yang Shuying, the fox, raccoon, and spirit, lives a better and more comfortable life than her, which makes her jealous and angry.
She didn't show it on her face, but in her heart she cursed Yang Shuying to spend all Chen Tuan's salary as soon as possible, and to see that Chen Tuan didn't divorce her. It would be best if she got pregnant as soon as possible, because she would become uglier and uglier after giving birth. Those sisters-in-law in the military region who looked good before marriage all lost their figures and their skin became more and more yellow after giving birth!
Shuying didn't know Xia Lina's thoughts.
After digesting the food and washing up, Shuying, who had reflected on himself, wiped the child's face and asked his child what he had said to Mrs. Gao.
"I didn't say anything. I just told him what delicious food we cooked and you should nourish your uncle," Chen Yi changed the subject and said to Shuying in the tone of Mrs. Gao, "Why do you love your man so much? It was the aunt who said that, not me. She said that you love your man too much! You pick food for your man every day!"
Chen Yi had a private meaning in the last sentence, puffing up his cheeks to emphasize it.
Shuying: "..."
Chen Xi, who had just washed up and entered the house: "..."
Shuying almost choked on her own saliva after hearing what her child said. When she saw the tall man leaning against the door, Shuying looked embarrassed and gently pinched the little boy's white and tender face, letting the child talk nonsense, while saying: "I picked up food for your uncle but not for you?"
Chen Yi turned around and smiled with a guilty conscience. She quickly asked him to sit at the table and do his homework, ignoring the increasingly hot gaze of the man behind her, and instructed the boy to do his homework.
Chen Xi raised her thin lips, lifted the quilt and went to bed but didn't sleep. She half leaned on the back of the bed, bent one long leg, wiped her hair and looked at the big and small, and it can be seen that she was in a particularly good mood!
After a while, Chen Xi called his wife to wipe his hair.
Shu Ying ignored him at first, but he called her several times and said his hand hurt. Shu Ying really thought her husband had hurt his hand during training. She told the child to continue doing homework and hurried over to see.
She was sitting on the bed and was about to ask the man which hand was hurt, but Chen Xi didn't care whether the child was asleep or not. He took the man into his arms, sat him on his lap, and kissed him.
Speaking of which, the couple had been intimate in the quilt a lot, but the man was usually very calm and rational, and never intimate with the child when she was awake.
Shu Ying widened her eyes in shock, and her head tilted back, pushing and glaring at people. What's wrong with this man?
But the man was like a rocky mountain, and she couldn't move him no matter how hard she pushed him.
The man put his big hand on the back of her head, lowered his head and kissed her again, his lips and teeth rolling, strong and domineering, and the kiss was particularly intense.
Shuying looked at the man in front of her in panic and turned to look at the child.
Before she saw the child, the man turned her face and pressed her with possessiveness to continue kissing her, whispering in her ear: "Close your eyes!"
How could Shuying close her eyes? She was not as calm as the man at this moment. But she was kissed so hard that she was limp and panting, and she couldn't use any strength. Her heart was pounding, and she was afraid that the child would look at her.
Shuying passively accepted the man's kiss absentmindedly until a clear and childish voice sounded: "Auntie!"
Shuying was shocked and pushed the man away with all her strength. She went limp and panted on the man's chest. She buried herself in the man's arms and didn't dare to raise her head. Her body was tense. Chen Xi laughed in a low voice. The laughter was low and sexy and particularly pleasant.
Shuying was angry and embarrassed when she laughed.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Chen Yi turned around and saw his aunt leaning on his uncle as if she had no strength, with her eyes wide open and a curious look on her face.
Chen Xi didn't let go of the man either. He lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms tenderly. His heart was soft. When he turned around, he ordered Chen Yi in a solemn voice with a blank expression to turn her head away and continue to do her homework.
Chen Yi: "..."
This man treated her differently. She felt embarrassed. She got out of bed and sat next to the child's stool while he was not paying attention, and continued to guide him to finish his homework.
Before going to bed, Shuying let the child drink milk and brush his teeth before letting him go to bed.
After the child went to bed, she went to take a shower.
After taking a shower, she thought that both the big and small were asleep. She turned off the light and lay down on the bed. A big hand beside her took her into a broad and warm embrace again. Shuying was surprised: "Why are you not asleep yet?"
"I can't sleep without my wife in bed!" The man hugged her very tightly. Shuying was just sighing that this man was not afraid of the cold. She just finished taking a shower and was freezing, but this man didn't feel cold at all. Then she heard the man say Fang suddenly said again: "I heard what Chen Yi said just now!"
Shu Ying's mind immediately flashed with the child's words "Why do you love your man so much, picking up vegetables for him every day", her cheeks slightly flushed and embarrassed, pretending to be innocent: "What did the child say? Why don't I know? Go to sleep!"
She wanted to sleep, but Chen Xi wouldn't let her, staring at her with bright and burning eyes, his eyes were even hotter than before.
The room was dark, and Shu Ying didn't know how she could see the man's eyes shining.
At first she could still barely remain calm, but then the man's eyes became more and more burning, and he never moved his burning gaze away from her face. Shu Ying couldn't remain calm, so she simply changed the subject and said that from tomorrow on, her family should be more low-key and cook less meat dishes.
Speaking of which, Shuying felt guilty and apologetic for the fact that Gao Dasao's family had trouble eating because of the cooking she did every day. She was bothered by the fact that her cooking smelled too good, and she was even more bothered by the fact that the aroma of whatever she cooked could easily spread to the two houses next door.
However, she thought that if she ate vegetables and radishes every day, and the neighbors smelled meat every day, it would be too annoying, and no one could stand it!
Shuying had just reflected on herself and decided to keep a low profile from tomorrow on. She poked the man's strong and hard muscles. The man was in great shape, so why would he need to supplement?
She had a good talk with the man.
"Hmm!" The man said as he pulled her hand to touch his extremely strong abdominal muscles. Shuying's hand was burned for a moment, and she quickly withdrew her hand, yawning and saying, "Okay!"
Turning around and seeing the man still staring at her, she pursed her lips and asked, "What else do you want to say?"
Chen Xi didn't say that he particularly liked to see her look distressed about him. These days, his wife has been particularly good to him and has been cooking for him, fearing that he will be exhausted. He is particularly satisfied and looks forward to it every time he returns to his yard after training.
He has always been reserved in his emotions, and he didn't say much, but used actions to show his passion and his feelings for her.
That night, the man had sex with her four times, and each time was particularly intense and long.
Normally, she couldn't stand the man's strength, let alone when he was exerting all his strength.
The big bed shook violently,
Shuying couldn't even shout at last, and she wanted to cry but couldn't, and she felt that she was going to be tortured to death by this man in bed.
For a moment, she regretted giving this man too much.
The next morning, she could hardly get out of bed, and her knees were bruised and painful. The child had been sent to school early, and she had difficulty getting up, washing, and eating a casual breakfast before rushing to school.
Before leaving, she looked in the mirror, her eyes and lips were red, and she looked weak and bullied. She rushed to the office with weak legs ten minutes before her class.
Teacher Fang Fengxia didn't come to the office this morning because she didn't have classes. Only she and Cao Rou were there.
"Teacher Cao!" Shuying took the initiative to greet Cao Rou before sitting down.
In the past, no matter how unhappy Cao Rou was, she would definitely respond for the sake of her reputation. But now, looking at Yang Shuying's fair and beautiful face, and thinking of what happened at Zhou's house during the New Year's greetings, Cao Rou couldn't say a word.
After a while, Cao Rou saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and she became interested: "Teacher Yang, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes swollen as if you have cried? Did you have a conflict with your husband?"
Cao Rou then talked about how good her husband was to her, and how he never disliked her after giving birth to a daughter, and how he was especially precious to her and didn't want her to suffer at all!
Shuying: "..."
Chapter 167
In the evening, Captain Lu came back from training and saw his wife bringing dishes from the kitchen to the table in a good mood. She also brought him a basin of hot water. Captain Lu washed his face and asked in wonder: "What's wrong? Why are you so happy today?"
Cao Rou couldn't say that she was happy in her heart, but she told her husband with sympathy on her face that she saw Chen Tuan's wife with red and swollen eyes in the office this morning. She pretended to be sympathetic and said: "I saw that Chen Tuan's wife didn't look very good today. I guessed that she was not very happy! Why do I feel that Chen Tuan and his wife don't have a good relationship?"
Captain Lu had just finished training and was very hungry. How could he have time to worry about other people's feelings? He hurriedly asked his wife to bring the child to the table for dinner.
However, seeing his wife kept asking him about the relationship between Chen Tuan and his wife, Captain Lu was not very familiar with Chen Tuan, so how could he know his private affairs.
However, everyone in the military region said that the couple had a good relationship. Captain Lu replied, Cao Rou looked unconvinced and said, "Why do I feel that the relationship between Chen Tuan and his wife is quite ordinary? The last time the couple went to Zhou's house, Chen Tuan didn't smile, and it seemed that he was not very patient with Chen Tuan's wife! The couple probably left a long time ago!"
Speaking of which, she always suspected that Yang Shuying, a country girl, was able to get close to Chen Tuan because of Chen Yi, that bastard.
Otherwise, even if Chen Tuan has no background, he was transferred from Kyoto after all, and Yang Shuying is just a country girl. She suspected that Chen Tuan would marry someone just to find a nanny to take care of Chen Yi, that bastard!
The more Cao Rou thought about it, the more she felt that it was true, and said, "If Chen Tuan gets divorced in the future, I can introduce my divorced cousin to Chen Tuan! My cousin is good-looking and especially good at taking care of children!"
Shuying, who was tortured to the point of almost being unable to get out of bed last night, didn't know that someone was worrying about her man's feelings for her, and was planning to introduce someone to her man after the divorce.
She was cooking in her own kitchen. Her legs were still soft, sore and tender. If she hadn't been sitting in the office all day and taking a long lunch break at noon, she really didn't have the energy to cook this dinner.
Before cooking, she really planned to keep a low profile and cook less meat dishes and not to supplement her man, but when she really cooked, she still cooked two meat dishes and one vegetable.
After all, the family has this condition, and she has a golden finger, so there is no need to be picky. Her husband has a special profession and physical fitness is very important. Her child is at this age and it is the time to supplement nutrition. If he lacks nutrition now, no matter how much money he spends in the future, it will not be replenished.
But this time when she cooked, she closed the doors of the kitchen and the main room, and opened the door after the cooking was finished and the fragrance dissipated and could not be smelled.
When Chen Xi came back refreshed, he passed by Gao's yard and was stopped by Gao Tuan. He asked curiously, "Chen Tuan, your sister-in-law didn't cook anything good? Why didn't I smell the aroma of your food tonight?"
Before yesterday, the aroma of the dishes cooked by your sister-in-law was really extraordinary.
Gao Tuan looked at him enviously, and Chen Xi pursed his lips to indicate that he just came back and didn't know.
"Chen Tuan, did your sister-in-law really cook spare ribs and stewed fish for you last night?" Gao Tuan asked with sourness and envy.
"Yeah! My wife loves me!"
Gao Tuan: "..."
It was time for dinner, and the two didn't chat for long. Gao Tuan saw Chen Tuan enter the yard, and his expression was simply too envious.
Until the Gao family sat down to eat dinner, Gao Tuan was telling his wife what Chen Tuan had said to him at the door of his house just now, saying that he finally understood how Deputy Tuan Fang felt when he was bullied by Chen Tuan, and said with emotion that she had seen couples who were good before, but not as good as this one!
Gao Dasao also felt that Chen Tuan and Yang Meizi had a very good relationship.
The Gao family had eaten more than half of the dinner, and the aroma of Chen's dishes had not come over. Seeing that the three brothers did not make a fuss about eating meat, Gao Tuan and Gao Dasao were temporarily relieved.
While picking up the dishes to eat, Gao Dasao was also wondering why she didn't smell the aroma of Yang Meizi's dishes next door tonight?
But think about it, who can afford to eat two meat dishes every day? Maybe Yang Meizi started to think it was a good deal, and Gao Dasao was relieved.
The Fang family next door didn't smell the food cooked by the Chen family tonight, and Fang's mother and Deputy Tuan Fang were also relieved, but Xia Lina was the happiest.
Xia Lina thought that Yang Shuying, the fox, raccoon, and spirit, had almost spent all of Tuan Chen's wages, so she didn't dare to cook any good dishes. She was very happy and ate an extra bowl of dinner.
The Gao and Fang families were having dinner, and the Chen family of three just sat down to have dinner.
As soon as Chen Xi sat down, he saw two meat dishes and a steamed egg on the table. The steamed egg was a bit fishy, ââand his eyes paused. They were the twice-cooked meat, a bowl of steamed egg, and a pot of lotus root and pork ribs soup.
He couldn't help but look at his wife a few more times, his eyes were full of smiles.
Shuying was embarrassed by the smiles. After all, she had vowed to cook less meat dishes and give less supplements to this man last night. Today, she cooked two meat dishes again. Isn't this a slap in her face?
Speaking of which, if this man hadn't had a special job and often had to go on dangerous missions, she didn't want to give supplements to this man at all because of the hard work he put on her last night.
Now, thinking of how hard this man put on her last night, she almost couldn't get out of bed this morning. Shuying was angry and embarrassed.
Shuying deliberately ignored the man in front of her with a cold face and didn't even look at him. She placed the steamed egg in front of Chen Yi and served him a bowl of lotus root and pork ribs soup.
She didn't make the braised pork ribs that the child wanted to eat last night. It would be easy to get sick of eating it every meal. Lotus root and pork ribs soup tastes good and nourishing.
But she compensated Chen Yi with a bowl of steamed egg.
Chen Yi, who hadn't eaten steamed eggs for a long time, really forgot about the braised pork ribs that he wanted to eat last night, and was eating the egg custard with a spoon.
The tender and smooth egg custard tasted especially good when stuffed into his mouth. Chen Yi ate it with a fragrant smell. Seeing that the aunt only served him soup and vegetables, Chen Yi felt particularly happy and looked at his uncle with pride.
But Chen Xi, who had always been ignored by his wife, was jealous. Why did this guy ask for a beating?
Chen Xi took the initiative to serve his wife lotus root and pork ribs soup, with more pork ribs and less lotus root, and served himself soup, with less pork ribs and more lotus root.
Shuying looked at the pork ribs soup that had just been served in front of her and her expression eased a little. She drank a few sips of soup and then looked up at the man opposite. She met the man's sharp and gentle eyes, coughed dryly, and said, "What the hell are you looking at? You can't eat enough by looking at me?"
He also hurriedly asked the man opposite if he could smell the fragrance of her cooking when he came in just now?
When he passed by Gao Dasao's house, did Gao Tuan and Gao Dasao say anything to him?
She had already closed the main hall door today. If it still disturbed Gao Dasao's family, she would not be able to cook more meat dishes in the future.
Shuying was busy looking at her husband, but Chen Xi suddenly remembered that Gao Tuan, who was full of envy, stopped him at the door of Gao's house and asked him why he didn't smell the fragrance of his wife's cooking tonight. He pursed his lips and wanted to smile.
Seeing that his wife was anxious to know, Chen Xi immediately told her about it briefly, saying that he didn't smell any food when he entered the yard just now, but he waited until he entered the main hall, and the smell of food at home was very strong.
Shuying breathed a sigh of relief, and then lowered her head to remind her children that if anyone asked him what they ate in the future, they should say that they ate vegetables!
Chen Xi: "..."
Chen Yi had rice in his mouth, and after swallowing a spoonful of egg custard, he asked with wide eyes: "Did Xiaoyuan's mother ask me the same thing? Auntie?"
"I'll say that no matter who asks!" Shuying nodded: "If you say that we only eat meat in the future, Auntie won't cook meat for you. It's good for us to eat vegetables every day!"
Chen Yi's little mouth was now tickled by Shuying's appetite. He didn't like to eat vegetables very much. He was scared and shook his head to indicate that he would not go out to show off what delicious food he ate in the future.
Shuying was particularly satisfied.
After instructing the child, Shuying looked up and met her husband's sharp and burning eyes. With a slightly flushed face, she announced to the two children: "From now on, our family will change from two meat dishes per meal to one meal per day with two meat dishes. Lunch will have one meat dish and two vegetables, and dinner will have two meat dishes and one vegetable." Afraid that the little guy would be dissatisfied, Shuying used the example of Gao Dasao's family next door, who ate radish, vegetables and sweet potato rice every meal. The three brothers of the Gao family did not complain, so Chen Yi did not dare to have any opinions.
Chen Xi had no opinions at all and listened to his wife.
After the child fell asleep, before the couple went to bed, Chen Xi took out an envelope from his pocket and gave it to her. Shuying thought it was something else, but when she opened the envelope, there was a deposit slip and a lot of coupons, including grain coupons, cloth coupons, oil coupons, and sugar coupons.
Shuying looked at the deposit slip and saw a lot of money. She was surprised: "What is this?"
"Chen Duo sent the child living expenses!" Chen Xi replied in a deep voice.
Chen Duo?
Isn't this her husband's brother? The child's biological father?
Shuying was a little confused. When she heard her husband say that his brother had been on a business trip for work for a while and just remembered the child, he sent living expenses.
Shuying had never met her husband's brother, but she could hear that he was dissatisfied with his brother. Just by listening to what her husband said, she knew that her husband's brother was not unreliable. He worked for so long before thinking about the child.
Shuying didn't care much about raising a child. After all, her husband was capable, and her child was sensible and good-looking. Although the child's father didn't send money before, her parents-in-law gave her a lot.
But since the child's father sent money, she took it and saved it for the child.
Shuying said what she meant, and Chen Xi's cold eyebrows were particularly soft. She hugged him and sat on his lap and kissed him. Shuying was afraid that this man was too energetic and would torture her again tonight, so she said that her waist, legs and body hurt.
"I won't touch you tonight, I'll massage you!"
Chapter 168
Time flies, and soon after the beginning of spring, it is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.
The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, a festival for every household to eat rice dumplings.
Mrs. Gao also plans to make rice dumplings today. Before making them, she went to Chen's house to ask Miss Yang what kind of rice dumplings she plans to make.
The main reason is that Miss Yang is clever and skillful. Look at the last time she made rice dumplings, Miss Yang added a little more sesame seeds, which made them especially fragrant. Her husband and children loved them.
At the gate of Chen's courtyard, Shuying replied: "Sister-in-law, I plan to make salted egg yolk and meat dumplings!"
Mrs. Gao backed out immediately when she heard what kind of rice dumplings with meat, and waited until Miss Yang mentioned red bean and peanut rice dumplings. She was interested in red bean rice dumplings and asked Miss Yang how to make them.
Shuying said that it was very simple to put some red beans in the rice dumplings.
Gao Dasao went back with a happy face.
She made some red bean rice dumplings and rice dumplings without anything in them. After they were made, she first sent three red bean rice dumplings to Yang Meizi's house, and then peeled the rice dumplings for the three brothers to eat.
Compared with the rice dumplings without anything in them, the three brothers really liked the red bean and meat rice dumplings more. They were delicious even without sugar.
Gao Tuan also ate a lot of red bean rice dumplings at lunch and felt that they were much more delicious than the rice dumplings without anything in them before.
However, in the evening, Shuying's family sent three salted egg yolk and meat rice dumplings to the Gao family. Gao Tuan shared one with Gao Dasao, the eldest and the second shared one, and the youngest, the third, ate one alone.
The soft and glutinous cooked rice tastes crunchy with salty egg yolk, the salty and fragrant meat, and the freshness of mushrooms. It is particularly delicious and fragrant. Gao Tuan and Gao Dasao can't stop eating it. It's particularly amazing, not to mention the three children.
"Wow, mom, Aunt Yang's rice dumplings are so delicious!" Gao Zhixian couldn't help shouting.
"Brother, how can rice dumplings not be delicious? But Aunt Yang's rice dumplings are really so good!" The second brother Gao Xiang also agreed.
The two brothers wolfed down the egg yolk rice dumplings they shared. Seeing that the third brother took a rice dumpling and hadn't finished it yet, the two brothers were jealous.
If Gao Dasao and her husband hadn't been there, the two brothers would have wanted to grab it.
Gao Yuan was eating with great pleasure, especially when he saw his elder and second brothers drooling at him. Gao Yuan deliberately ate slowly, wanting to seduce his elder and second brothers to death. Gao Zhigao was so angry that he wanted to smash the third brother's head.
Gao Tuan and his wife Gao Dasao were still very satisfied after eating a salted egg yolk rice dumpling. Gao Tuan also praised: "The rice dumpling at my sister-in-law's house is really delicious!" He had eaten other rice dumplings before, but it was true that they were not as delicious as his sister-in-law's. Gao Tuan was impressed by his sister-in-law's good cooking skills.
Gao Dasao thought to herself, how could the rice dumpling not be delicious? What salted egg yolk and mushrooms were added? Yang Meizi was so imaginative and good at eating. How could it taste so good?
Gao Dasao's family sent a few meat dumplings to Shuying's family, and the Niu family, Zhou family, and even Fang's mother also sent a few dumplings.
Zhou's family made meat dumplings, Niu's family made jujube dumplings, and Fang's family made dumplings without anything in them. Shuying also sent a few salted egg yolk meat dumplings back to her family.
Now people from Zhou's, Niu's, and Fang's families have also tasted Shuying's salted egg yolk meat dumplings.
Speaking of which, no one makes salted egg yolk meat dumplings now. At most, they make meat dumplings, and the method is simple, far less complicated than Shuying's method, with more seasonings.
Not to mention that she marinated the meat for the dumplings with a lot of bay leaves, star anise, and other spices the night before, and there is also the crunchy salted egg yolk flavor and the fresh taste of mushrooms.
Look, several families are eating the salted egg yolk rice dumplings from Shuying's family. They find them particularly delicious and everyone is scrambling to eat them.
The Niu family is the same as the Gao family. Niu Tuan and Niu Saozi share one, the two daughters share one, and Niu Weiguo has one rice dumpling alone. Look, the whole family can't stop eating after tasting it. The whole family thinks that the rice dumplings sent by Chen Tuan's family taste really good. Niu Saozi and Niu Yulian are more reserved when eating the rice dumplings, but Niu Tuan and Niu Weiguo, father and son, eat them so fast that they stare at the mouth. The speed of eating the rice dumplings is no slower than Gao Tuan and the three brothers of the Gao family.
At the Fang family, Xia Lina was unwilling to eat the salted egg yolk rice dumplings made by Yang Shuying. Instead, it was a good deal for Deputy Tuan Fang and the two children. After Deputy Tuan Fang, Fang Xiuxiu and Fang Xiaobao tasted it, they swallowed all the delicious food on their tongues. Fang's mother also tasted a little. The rice dumplings at the Chen family really tasted good, much better than ordinary rice dumplings!
Deputy Tuan Fang must be really envious of Chen Tuan's good fortune! How come Chen Tuan's wife's cooking skills are so good?
Both the Zhou family and the Chen family made rice dumplings. Originally, Mr. Zhou and his sons had eaten too much of their own rice dumplings and didn't want to eat them. But after tasting the egg yolk rice dumplings made by Ah Xi's wife (Chen Tuan's wife), their eyes lit up one by one. When they ate their own rice dumplings again, they felt that their own rice dumplings tasted too ordinary.
At first, Aunt Zhou thought that the three of them were too exaggerated. But after she really tasted the salted egg yolk meat dumplings made by Ah Xi's wife, she admitted that her own meat dumplings were not as fragrant as Ah Xi's wife's. How could these meat dumplings be so fragrant?
Ye Shuning also ate them with great fragrance.
Other families were eating rice dumplings, and the dining table in the main hall of the Chen family was also very lively.
The salted egg yolk meat dumplings were delicious, but the glutinous rice was choking. She chewed them slowly and was almost full after eating two.
However, the uncle and nephew Chen Xi and Chen Yi ate a lot and enjoyed them with relish.
Her husband had a particularly big appetite and finished a salted egg yolk meat dumpling in two or three bites.
The usually calm and rational man never slowed down when eating salted egg yolk rice dumplings. Chen Yi's little belly actually ate more rice dumplings than her.
When Shuying touched the boy's slightly bulging belly, the boy wanted to stretch out his paw to take the rice dumpling, but Shuying held his paw.
It was almost time for dinner, and Shuying repeatedly ordered the two uncles and nephews to save some space for dinner, otherwise the two uncles and nephews could eat a few more rice dumplings.
Shuying made a simple dinner, a braised yellow eel and a mixed water spinach.
She just saw the yellow eel at the market yesterday. Her man loves to eat it and it is nutritious. Shuying mixed it with mud eels and yellow eels and bought a bucket of it and kept it in a wooden basin in the backyard to eat slowly. When her man saw it, his eyes lit up.
At dinner, Chen Xi stuffed a piece of delicious braised yellow eel with extra tender meat into his mouth. He had to admit that he was really blessed. No wonder Gao Tuan envied him before.
With the braised yellow eel, Chen Xi ate four bowls of rice. Shu Ying was stunned, thinking that this man had eaten a lot of rice dumplings just now, how could he eat so many bowls of rice?
On the contrary, Chen Yi ate a lot of rice dumplings before dinner, so he only ate a small bowl of rice for dinner.
After eating, he slipped down to play.
Shu Ying ate the rice dumplings and only ate half a bowl of rice in the evening. Chen Xi thought she ate too little, frowned slightly and insisted on serving her another bowl of rice, but was rejected by Shu Ying.
Needless to say, her man looks intimidating when he frowns, but Shuying is not afraid and even glares at him.
In the end, the man who fears that his wife will be unhappy has no choice but to give in.
After dinner, Shuying packed several packages, which contained egg yolk meat dumplings and other local specialties and seafood, and prepared to send them to her mother's and husband's families.
The weather is not too hot now, so it is okay to eat the egg yolk meat dumplings immediately after sending them for a few days.
She doesn't know about her husband's family, but her mother must be reluctant to make meat dumplings, so she gave a bunch of meat dumplings to her father and several brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces to taste.
There was also a letter for each of the two large packages, which was a bit thick, and she, her husband and the children all wrote.
The next day, Chen Xi carried the two large packages to the express delivery office to send them separately.
Commander Chen and his mother in Kyoto received the packages and letters first.
The old couple read the letter first. Their son's writing style remained unchanged, very concise and to the point. There were not many words in the letter, but it was obvious that their son was very satisfied with his current life, and even more satisfied with his daughter-in-law. Most of the words in the letter were praising his daughter-in-law.
Of course, there were many words of advice to the old couple to take care of their health, and asked about the situation in Kyoto, and advised him to retire early as he was old.
"This stinky boy!" Commander Chen is only in his fifties now, but he doesn't admit that he is old at all. However, knowing that his son means well, Commander Chen laughed and scolded.
Chen's mother wanted her husband to retire and visit the young couple and grandson, but she knew that her husband would have to stay in Kyoto after retirement. There were too many people eyeing them now, so it was not good for him to go to the young couple and cause trouble for them.
Now Chen's mother also understood that the eldest brother of the Chen family could report her husband, let alone others.
Then the old couple read the letters from their daughter-in-law and grandson. The daughter-in-law's letter was mostly about their concern and their daily life in the military area. She said that she didn't send much, but only some seafood for the old couple to make soup for nourishment.
She also asked the old couple to come and live with them for a while when they were free.
As for Chen Yi, of course he was talking about how his uncle treated him "badly". He said that his uncle let him sleep alone last month and did not allow him to sleep with his aunt. He especially liked to occupy his aunt, who made delicious food for him every day.
The dishes and food made by his aunt were the most delicious. The rice dumplings his family made recently were especially delicious!
He also said that he had a younger brother and his sister who also lived in his uncle's house, but his younger brother and aunt did not make delicious food for him every day. His sister often had to do extra work. Their aunt would scold them from time to time, but his aunt would not scold him and was especially good to him. During the Chinese New Year, his uncle specially gave him a dime, and his aunt gave him a dollar and asked him to keep it.
Chen Yi's letter was the longest, mostly written in pinyin. The old couple didn't mind reading it, and laughed while reading it. As for the money that the daughter-in-law gave to the child, Commander Chen laughed and scolded his son for being too stingy. Mother Chen was a little surprised, but she didn't think much about it, just thinking that the daughter-in-law was occasionally a little bit bigger.
Their grandson only said a few things in the letter, but the old couple could feel how good their daughter-in-law was to the child?
To be honest, the main reason why the old couple agreed to their son marrying their daughter-in-law was not only because their son liked her, but also because they wanted their daughter-in-law to be better to the child.
However, the old couple did not expect that their daughter-in-law would be so kind to the child. Commander Chen laughed and said that his son had a good vision. Mother Chen could not help but sigh that her son had a good vision.
"Look at what package the daughter-in-law sent to our house?" Commander Chen was in a good mood and said with full energy.
The old couple also had a contrast. Kyoto is very chaotic now. Not to mention that sons and daughters-in-law send packages out of filial piety, there are many sons and daughters-in-law who take the initiative to break off relations with their parents.
Mother Chen opened the package. There was a big bunch of rice dumplings and a lot of dried seafood in it. It was a big bag. It was estimated that the daughter-in-law spent a lot of money.
Mother Chen and Commander Chen were all beaming with joy. They were not greedy for their daughter-in-law's advantage, but their daughter-in-law was too thoughtful, thinking about them from time to time, and sending them such expensive good things.
Commander Chen and Mother Chen were planning to give the young couple some money and tickets. Their daughter-in-law spent a lot of money on them, but what should they do if she was too stingy with them and their family?
"Didn't Yibao say that the rice dumplings made by my daughter-in-law were especially delicious? Daughter-in-law, cook a few for me, and I'll taste them!" Commander Chen said.
The author has something to say: The author was not in a good state yesterday, sorry, three updates today!
Chapter 169
However, before the old couple had time to eat the salted egg yolk and meat dumplings made by their daughter-in-law, an uninvited guest, Chen Wei, came to their house.
Chen Wei was the daughter of Chen's uncle who married into the Fang family. Since Chen's uncle's "daughter-in-law" Su Qinhong ran away from the country, although she had divorced Chen Duo before Su Qinhong ran away, after Su Qinhong was suspected of being a spy, Chen Wei, who had a close relationship with Su Qinhong, was implicated. Commander Chen did not need to do anything, and Chen's uncle's family, who had reported to Commander Chen, were also implicated!
First, Chen's uncle lost his job as deputy director of the machinery factory. Then, Chen's mother, Chen Wan, and Chen Ning also lost several jobs. As for Chen Wei, the Fang family was afraid of being implicated by her. Fang Wenbin and Chen Wei had no children, so Chen Wei's husband Fang Wenbin also took the initiative to divorce her.
Commander Chen and Chen's mother had no good feelings towards this niece, especially Chen's mother had a mediocre impression of her niece Chen Wei, and just wanted to stay away from her.
Let's not talk about the fact that Su Qinhong, the eldest daughter-in-law who abused her grandson, was her classmate, and she introduced her to the eldest son, and how much she hurt her eldest son and her grandson, let's talk about her messy divorce.
When the family of Chen's eldest uncle got into trouble, Fang's family was afraid of being implicated, so Fang Wenbin divorced her immediately. She was stubborn and refused to divorce, which was fine, but the couple dragged on for half a year before divorcing. The next day, Fang's family was reported and the family was broken up.
She didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with Chen Wei.
Mother Chen felt really cold in her heart and really didn't want to have anything to do with the family of Chen's eldest uncle.
And speaking of it, what Mother Chen regrets most now is that she agreed to pass on the eldest son to his uncle.
Her eldest son's life was ruined by his aunt and Chen Wei, and her grandson almost got into trouble.
Mother Chen hates it when she thinks of this.
When Chen's mother saw her husband calling the guards to bring someone in, she looked very unhappy. She thought her husband was soft-hearted towards Chen's uncle's family, and said, "Old Chen, your eldest brother's family has harmed our eldest brother and grandson like this. Your niece is not a good person either. If you are soft-hearted towards this family, we don't have to live together anymore!"
Commander Chen was so angry that he stared straight at her. They are an old couple at this age. Why are they still talking about divorce? Aren't they afraid of being laughed at by the younger generation?
Commander Chen also knew that Chen's mother had misunderstood, and said that Chen Wei had come every day recently. In fact, Chen's uncle's family also came every day to plead for mercy before, but Commander Chen ignored them.
But this niece is thicker-skinned than her parents. Even if he refuses every day, she still comes every day. Commander Chen can guess what this niece is thinking.
Speaking of which, the most shrewd and thoughtful one in his eldest brother's family is this niece.
If he doesn't see her today, this niece will still come every day tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. He doesn't like trouble, so he might as well give up her idea as soon as possible.
Commander Chen explained a little, and then Chen's mother didn't say anything.
Chen Wei, with a look of surprise, brought a basket of plums into the Chen family's living room, and said in a very intimate tone: "Uncle, aunt! I picked some plums from my home for you to taste!"
Commander Chen had no expression. Mother Chen heard her niece Chen Wei calling her and her husband affectionately as usual, as if there was no conflict between the two families before, and she did not harm her eldest son. Mother Chen couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but said: "Our two families are not that familiar, your father has severed his relationship with my husband, and our two families are not relatives in the future. Don't have much contact in the future. If you have something to say, tell me quickly. If not, I won't talk to your uncle if there is anything else. Treat you! We don't like these plums either, you can take them back later!"
Chen Wei's face turned pale, her eyes immediately red, and she said to Commander Chen: "Uncle, I really didn't know what my father did at the beginning. If I knew, I would definitely stop him from doing such a stupid thing. Uncle and aunt, you were so good to me before, I always remember! I didn't come here to plead for my parents this time. I just want to see you!"
Chen Wei rolled up her sleeves while crying, saying that her father was hopeless now. After losing his job, he drank every day and beat people. She didn't want to plead for him at all.
Her mother also abandoned her and divorced her, pinching and scolding her every day. Chen Wei cried as pitifully as she could.
Mother Chen frowned.
Commander Chen originally didn't intend to pay attention to his niece, Chen Wei, but when he saw the injuries on her arms, both arms were bruised all over, and it was obvious that she was either pinched or beaten. After all, Chen Wei was his niece, and Commander Chen's face was particularly ugly: "Your parents beat you every day?"
Chen Wei just cried and didn't say anything.
Commander Chen let her talk.
Chen Wei whispered that the couple abandoned her and divorced, and said that the couple wanted to marry her to an old man!
Chen Wei cried bitterly: "Uncle, I really have no choice but to come to you!"
When Commander Chen heard that his brother and his wife had done such a thing, he was immediately furious and his face turned ashen. He wished that someone would bring the couple to him and beat them up.
As soon as Commander Chen called the guard, Chen Wei immediately cried and begged, "Uncle, I came here secretly without telling my parents. If my parents knew that I came to you to complain, they would definitely not let me go!"
Chen Wei cried particularly hard, and Commander Chen was so angry that he trembled and asked her directly what she was going to do.
Chen Wei said, "Uncle, my parents have given up on me and divorced me. If I stay at home, my parents will definitely not tolerate me and will marry me off sooner or later, huh..."
Chen Wei choked up and continued to say that it would be great if she had someone to marry, and Commander Chen looked a little cold.
Chen Wei begged to see Commander Chen, sobbing: "Uncle, if you don't help me, I can't live anymore!"
Chen Wei cried so hard that her throat was hoarse and she looked like she was going to faint from crying. Her face was pale and particularly pitiful. Commander Chen looked thoughtful.
But Chen's mother couldn't sympathize with her at all.
Not to mention how much Chen Wei, her niece, had hurt her eldest son and grandson, and she didn't believe what she said at all.
In fact, her uncle and his wife loved this daughter the most.
When this niece just got divorced, her husband was a little soft-hearted and sent someone to the Fang family. He knew that her elder brother and sister-in-law had made a scene at the Fang family's door for this niece and asked the Fang family to give her an explanation. But this niece cried in front of her husband and complained that her parents had beaten and scolded her in various ways and wanted to marry her to an old man.
Chen's mother frowned. She really didn't like this ungrateful girl who was deep-minded and vicious. If her husband really wanted to introduce her to a good match, it would be a scam.
Of course, if her husband really introduced this girl to a good match, she would be even more uncomfortable.
Fearing that her husband would immediately agree to this girl's words, Chen's mother immediately took the lead and said, "Old Chen, let's understand everything first!" and sent Chen Wei away.
"Uncle!"
Chen Wei had a good plan before she came. She thought that her uncle would be soft-hearted and help her find a good match because she had made a fuss about her parents beating and scolding her for wanting to marry her to an old man. With her uncle's status, the match he found for her would naturally be very outstanding and prestigious, so she wouldn't have to go to the countryside.
But who knew that after she cried and complained, her uncle had some reaction at first, but later there was no reaction. When she heard that Chen's mother wanted to send her away, Chen Wei panicked and was anxious.
Commander Chen was in this position now, so he was naturally not easily fooled by a little girl. He had just heard that his eldest brother and his wife were going to marry his eldest niece off, and he also saw that the child's arms were covered with scars. He was really angry and planned to find her a job so that she could stand on her own.
But after his niece revealed her intention, he calmed down a bit and remembered that his eldest brother and his wife loved this daughter the most.
When this niece just got divorced, his eldest brother and his wife went to the Fang family to complain about her.
Commander Chen looked at his niece who was very calculating and cunning a few times with a meaningful look, and suddenly asked with a cold face: "Did your parents really beat you? And they want to marry you off?"
No matter how scheming Chen Wei was, facing Commander Chen's sharp eyes, her heart was beating so fast and she was so panicked that she didn't dare to look him in the eye. She was not sure if she had revealed something wrong. She gritted her teeth and made up her mind not to admit it. What if her uncle was just testing her? Chen Wei cried until she was hoarse and continued to act: "Uncle, if you don't help me, I really can't live anymore. Uncle, please help me. I will work like a cow and a horse in my next life to repay you!"
She quickly said that her requirements were not high, as long as the other party's family was OK and she had a good job.
Commander Chen looked at her for a long time. Chen Wei's forehead was sweating and she was flustered. Until Commander Chen pointed out that Chen's uncle and his wife had been running around for her divorce and had gone to Fang's house to make trouble, the blood on Chen Wei's face immediately faded away, and her body staggered as if she was going to faint in the next second. She never thought that her uncle actually knew about this.
Then didn't her uncle know about the smear campaign she had just put on her parents? Chen Wei's eyes went dark, and she quickly admitted her mistake: "Uncle, I was wrong, I was wrong, I didn't mean to lie to you, I was just too afraid to go to the countryside,"
Chen Wei remembered the previous batch of educated youth who went to the countryside, some of whom she knew, ended up either marrying in the countryside or getting into trouble. Since she knew that she might go to the countryside, she was panicked and afraid.
Commander Chen didn't say much in the end, just asked her to go back and be honest, and not treat people as fools. As for this favor, he wouldn't help and couldn't help, Chen Wei collapsed on the ground.
Commander Chen said so, but once Chen Wei left, he planned to arrange for his nieces who were going to the countryside to live in the village where his daughter-in-law lived. It just so happened that the atmosphere in that village was very good, and there were in-laws there.
He didn't want to trouble his in-laws too much, but it was still okay to have someone to watch over them. However, before Commander Chen could make the arrangements, his niece Chen Wei first plotted against her own sister, and let the second child Chen Wan marry a young leader of the Revolutionary Committee who was about the same age as him, and changed the place where they were going to live in the countryside to a village near the military region where Ah Xi was.
Chapter 170
Two days after Commander Chen's mother received the package, the Yang family of Hongyang Society also received a package from Shuying this evening.
The package was delivered to Mu Qingqing, who had just returned from the educated youth point. Mu Qingqing is now married to the fourth son of the Yang family and her life is particularly smooth.
Before marrying the fourth son of the Yang family, Mu Qingqing was a little hesitant, but after marrying, her husband treated her very well, her parents-in-law treated her well, and her sisters-in-law were not difficult to deal with, and the family got along very well.
Moreover, the men of the Yang family have their own things to do and can make money. Even if the eldest brother of the Yang family is farming for the time being, he will inherit the work of his father in a few years.
Her husband also made money from repairing cars, and because of the relationship between the old Yang family and the village chief's family, the village chief's family took special care of her as an educated youth's wife, and even let her teach in the village primary school with her third sister-in-law.
No other educated youth's wife lived a better life than her.
Mu Qingqing was also very glad that she chose to marry the fourth son of the Yang family, and she felt a strong sense of belonging to the old Yang family.
As soon as Mu Qingqing took the package in, the fourth son of the Yang family saw it. Fearing that his wife would be tired, he hurriedly took the big package and asked, "Wife, is this our package? Who sent it?"
The fourth son of the Yang family thought that his family had also received a package from his younger sister, so his eyes lit up immediately and he hurriedly asked, "Is it a package sent by my younger sister, wife?"
After Mu Qingqing's confirmation, the fourth son of the Yang family hurriedly carried the package into the main room and rushed to the kitchen to make Mother Yang shouted at dinner: "Mom, my little sister sent another package..."
When Mother Yang heard "little sister", she hurried out while wiping her hands and shouted loudly: "What? Fourth brother, what package did my daughter send again? Where is it? Is there a letter? What did it say?"
Mother Yang led all the nephews and nieces playing in the yard into the house with her loud voice. The children all knew that the little aunt sent a package, which meant there would be delicious food.
Dahu shouted first: "Grandma, did the little aunt send something delicious again?"
Erhu and Xiaohu were also eager to look at Mother Yang.
Daya and Erya were also greedy.
Her husband and sons were all promising, and the old lady was not as stingy as before, and was not in a hurry to catch up with the chattering grandchildren.
The fourth child of the Yang family opened the package first. He first took out a large bunch of rice dumplings, and then a large bag of dried seafood, including dried sea fish, clams, scallops, dried fish, etc. There were also snacks for the children, such as White Rabbit milk candy, walnut crisps, and a large bag of potato chips. Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu, Da Ya and Er Ya were so greedy that they almost drooled and shouted to Yang's mother for food.
Seeing that her daughter had sent so many things again, Yang's mother was so angry that her chest heaved and her heart ached. She didn't care about the grandchildren around her.
How could her daughter be so good at taking things from her parents' home, and her son-in-law had no objection? How could her daughter spend money so much?
The fourth son of the Yang family was not surprised by the things sent by his younger sister. Last time, his younger sister generously sent sweaters to his parents. A pound of woolen yarn was very expensive, more than ten or twenty yuan. Other nephews and nieces also got new clothes.
This was the first time Mu Qingqing saw her younger sister sending things home after she got married. She was a little surprised. It was no wonder that her husband said that her younger sister had always been good at sewing. People in the village said that the young lady of the old Yang family had married well.
The fourth son of the Yang family was most interested in the rice dumplings sent by his younger sister.
He had not tasted his younger sister's craftsmanship for a long time, and he was very greedy for the rice dumplings sent by his younger sister. Although he had eaten the rice dumplings made by his mother some time ago, the fourth son of the Yang family was sure that they were definitely not as delicious as those made by his younger sister.
Yang Lao Si said, "Mom, shall we cook some rice dumplings sent by my younger sister for dinner? These rice dumplings are easy to spoil, so we should eat them early!"
Yang's mother didn't want to eat any rice dumplings at this time, so she asked Lao Si to share some candies with her grandchildren. Yang's mother took out the letter written by her niece from the package and asked Lao Si's wife to read it to her to see what her niece said.
Shu Ying didn't say much. First, she said that she had adapted to the life in the military area very well, and asked the two elders not to worry, and asked them to take care of their health, which was more important. She also said what was sent. The salted egg yolk and meat rice dumplings were just made and not easy to keep for a long time, so she asked her mother not to pick them and cook them quickly for everyone in the family.
She also gave a red envelope to her nephews and nieces, saying that since she was not at home during the Chinese New Year, she, as an aunt, had to give them red envelopes, and her husband had no objection.
Finally, she suggested that Yang's mother bring her nephews and nieces to live with her for a while, and asked about the family's situation.
"What, there are red envelopes?" Yang's mother was surprised, and when the fourth child took out five red envelopes from the package, the children screamed with excitement.
However, with Yang's mother there, the children dared not grab the red envelopes even if they wanted them.
Shuying was generous, giving each red envelope a dollar, which shocked the Yang family's fourth son and his wife. Xiaohu was still young and didn't know much, but Dahu, Erhu, Daya and Erya knew that their aunt gave each of them a dollar, and they all stared in disbelief.
Speaking of which, during the Chinese New Year, their grandmother and parents gave them red envelopes of at most one or two cents, and their second uncle gave them more, and this year he gave them five cents each!
One dollar was a large sum they had never seen before.
The children didn't dare to ask their grandmother for it.
There was a dollar in each red envelope. Mother Yang was so angry that she slapped her chest and said, "Why is this damn girl so greedy? She wants to empty my son-in-law's pocket! A penny is enough, why does she give so much money to several children?"
Mother Yang was really angry. She was afraid that her daughter would not be able to make a living, and she kept giving money to her parents' family, which would make her son-in-law have opinions.
Moreover, if such a big red envelope for her daughter was given to several children, how could it stay in the children's hands in the end? Wouldn't it be a bargain for the eldest and third daughters-in-law?
In Mother Yang's heart, her own sons were not as important as her daughters, not to mention her daughters-in-law.
There was no way she wanted her daughter's money!
Mother Yang planned to return the money, leaving at most one cent for each grandchild.
For dinner, except for the second son and his wife who were in the county town, the rest of the Yang family ate dinner at the table in the main hall.
Everyone also knew about the package and red envelope sent by the daughter (younger sister).
At first, the eldest sister-in-law Hong Xiaojuan and the third sister-in-law Wang Rong were so happy that they were silly when the younger sister gave each child a red envelope of one yuan.
This is one yuan, and the work points earned by the strong men in the village after working hard all day are only a few cents.
Why is the younger sister so generous? She actually gave each of their children a red envelope of one yuan?
The eldest sister-in-law Hong Xiaojuan was particularly excited. Her family had one more child than the third sister-in-law, which meant one more dollar. This was a huge income. The third sister-in-law Wang Rong felt a little uncomfortable and regretted not having another child.
However, thinking that the fourth sister-in-law did not have a child and did not get a single red envelope, the third sister-in-law Wang Rong felt a little more balanced.
The two sisters-in-law planned to wait for the children to get the red envelopes and let them hand them over to them. They could get several dollars at once, and the two sisters-in-law were very happy.
However, the good plan that the two sisters-in-law had just made was poured cold water by Yang's mother.
Mother Yang said to the eldest and third sons, "Eldest, third son, what do you think of this red envelope? Your younger sister is thinking about your brothers and nephews and nieces. Otherwise, which aunt would be willing to give such a big red envelope during the New Year? Your younger sister is not easy. Although your son-in-law is a military officer, it costs money for the couple to raise a child. What if your younger sister gets pregnant again in the future?"
The eldest and third sons of the Yang family were also stunned by the fact that the younger sister gave each child a red envelope of one yuan. The two brothers were particularly moved, but they did not intend to take the money from the younger sister. They hurriedly said that the money could not be taken back. The eldest sister-in-law Hong Xiaojuan and the third sister-in-law Wang Rong had some opinions but did not dare to offend their own parents-in-law.
After all, my father-in-law is a worker now, and his salary is very high. It is not worthwhile to offend my parents-in-law for a red envelope, so they both said that the red envelope should be returned to my younger sister.
Yang's father and mother looked satisfied. Mother Yang said: "Just return it all, and leave a penny for each of the children, so that they can keep it for themselves. You adults should not ask for the money from the children, let them keep it for themselves, and it is also a little thought from their younger sister-in-law!"
After Yang's mother spoke, the eldest sister-in-law Hong Xiaojuan and the third sister-in-law Wang Rong certainly did not dare to have any opinions. The eldest brother Yang Jianguo and the third brother Yang Jiandong both said that the money should be kept by the children themselves, and they would watch.
The children in the family were so happy that they went crazy. You know, every year during the Spring Festival, they had to hand in all the red envelopes they made. This time, they could keep the money themselves, and the children were happier than getting a dollar.
After solving the red envelope issue, Yang's mother spoke again: "Fourth child, go to the kitchen to see if the rice dumplings that my younger sister sent you are warm?"
The Yang family also made rice dumplings during the Zongzi Festival, but Yang's mother said that there was nothing in them, and they were no match for the salted egg yolk and meat dumplings made by Shuying. At first, the Yang family never thought that their daughter (younger sister) sent them meat dumplings, but after eating them, the whole family was surprised.
Yang's mother was so distressed again. Why did her daughter's hands become bigger and bigger after getting married? The father and sons of the Yang family, as well as the three sisters-in-law and several children, ate the dumplings with great relish. Mu Qingqing had never eaten the food cooked by her younger sister, and it was her first time eating meat dumplings, and the taste was particularly amazing.
This salty egg yolk meat dumpling was really delicious, with the salty and fragrant meat mixed with the freshness of mushrooms and the crunchy taste of salty egg yolk. The old Yang family had never eaten such delicious dumplings.
So, everyone didn't care about dinner and ate dumplings. Several adults and children scrambled for the dumplings. It was still Yang's mother who asked the fourth child to leave a few for the second child's couple to taste, and finally left a few.
This rice dumpling once again made the Yang family father and sons, sisters-in-law and children miss their daughter's (younger sister's) good cooking skills.
