The score just came out, so it's low.
The night before Chen Yifei was to get married, he found himself lying on the same kang with He Runqing, an educated youth who was about to return to...
She got so close that the delicious aroma of the food seemed to be automatically blocked out.
Her scent lingered all around me.
"Because I haven't cooked in a long time, I'm a bit rusty. I'm just cooking it the way I used to. Come and try it, is there anything you're not satisfied with?"
Looking at her expectant yet slightly nervous expression.
Chen Yifei nodded and picked up his chopsticks.
First, I ate a piece of braised pork with potatoes. It had a caramel aroma, the meat was tender and juicy, and not greasy at all.
He was still presentable, but his brothers were like starving ghosts, grabbing whatever looked delicious as soon as they saw it.
Half a bowl of braised pork was eaten in no time, and the radish and cabbage were also delicious!
He Runqing watched as Chen Yifei and Chen Yifei each took a bite and asked, "How is it? How does it taste?"
"It's delicious," he said.
When He Runqing heard these words, he calmed down.
He patted his chest, as if to comfort himself, thankfully, thankfully he liked it!
That's great, my husband likes the food I cook.
From now on, she will observe Chen Yifei carefully, pay attention to his tastes, and make more of what he likes.
The two of them seemed to be in perfect harmony, exchanging glances and signals.
The whole family was very happy.
Chen Xue laughed: "Alright, you two are making all of us unmarried people want to date."
She suddenly remembered: "Speaking of which, when my brother and Qingqing get their marriage certificate, they'll need to take a photo of the two of them and get some supporting documents."
"You two must have gone to the county town to take photos during this time, right?"
Chen Yifei nodded: "Okay, I'll take a look at it sometime later."
Seeing that she had almost finished eating the meat, he picked up a piece of lean meat for her and said, "You should eat more; you're still growing."
"Mmm!" She nodded, looking adorable even while eating. Chen Yifei felt utterly hopeless. Now he found her adorable in every way.
Even the hand holding the chopsticks felt tiny.
Your resolve is unstable!
At this moment, He Runqing's other hand, which was under the table, had already been taken by Chen Yifei.
Chen Yifei looked at the obedient He Runqing and sat down next to him.
Feeling very satisfied, I couldn't help but want to pinch the back of her hand, as her skin was porcelain white all over.
The back of her hands was as smooth and tender as soft tofu.
It was very soft, and after he applied a little force, red marks started to appear.
He Runqing did not resist, but rested her face on her other hand and watched Chen Yifei do his hair.
Somewhat out of tenderness and pity, Chen Yifei squeezed her twice more before letting go.
I didn't feel anything before, but ever since we held hands that one time, I've been thinking that there could be many more times... It's like some kind of magic is constantly attracting me.
After finishing the meal and sending the person back,
Chen Jianguo called Chen Yifei over, and had Chen's mother pour him a glass of water so they could face each other.
Chen Yifei was somewhat amused and exasperated: "Dad, you don't have to keep things to yourself, just say it."
"You don't need to beat around the bush with me."
"Xiaofei, Comrade Runqing is a very down-to-earth girl. She usually performs well in our brigade. Now that she's with you, it seems she's going to live a good life with you."
"Besides, if you get married, it means you're doing her a disservice."
Chen Yifei nodded: "Don't worry, Dad, I will treat Comrade Runqing very well."
"If that's about right, then don't set up a stall. It's never the right thing to do. I understand that the places you mentioned that allow it aren't allowed here! If you get caught, you'll still end up in jail."
"So you should just stick to selling mushrooms and stop doing anything else."
Chen Yifei sighed, "Dad, it's always good to earn more money. Mushrooms can't be sold all the time. Now is the peak season, but what about in winter? Will we starve?"
“Perfect timing, I also have something I want to say to you.” Chen Yifei was a little eager to speak. “Our family doesn’t have enough room right now. My eldest sister and second sister are sleeping in one bed. Last time He Runqing came, they squeezed together to sleep.”
“I’m thinking of building a new brick house, with four or five rooms and tiled roofs, so that each of us will have a room.”
"My eldest and second eldest sisters will be able to have their own rooms then."
He only realized how important his room was after he became rich in his previous life.
He was the boy in the family. At first, he slept on a soft mat in the living room. Later, when he grew up, a small side room was built in the house, and he had his own room. His parents and two older sisters still made it very crowded.
Chen's mother, Zhang Cuizhi, said, "Where would our family possibly have any money left over?"
“Your eldest sister got married and is only back now because she had a fight with her husband. Your second sister will get married soon, so the house will be empty! Once they leave, the house will be all empty.”
After Chen's mother finished speaking, both Chen Shuang and Chen Xue looked somewhat disappointed.
Although their families treat them well, they always feel that once girls grow up, they no longer have a home and are just passersby in their family.
At this point, Chen's mother looked at Chen Shuang and said, "Xiao Shuang, you're married now, and there's been a lot of gossip lately. Everyone's saying your husband dislikes you. If all else fails, apologize and go back to living a good life."
"There's no such thing as a family feud that lasts overnight. Mom is just worried about your reputation."
Chen Shuang nodded silently: "I'll think about it some more, Mom."
Chen Xue was furious, but didn't know how to express it.
When this girl grows up, she will have no home.
Of course, Xiaofei wasn't much better off. His family was poor, and none of the children had a good life.
At this moment, Chen Fei said, "Mom, the man my eldest sister married was never a good person. Sister, it's about time you got a divorce. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to come home then?"
"Eldest sister, second sister, you will always have your own room. I'll keep them for you."
He wants to work hard to earn money, starting with ensuring that everyone in his family has their own small space to live in.
Chen Shuang and Chen Xue were very excited. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with gratitude for their younger brother.
Honestly, I never expected Chen Yifei to say such wonderful things.
Chen Jianguo was also very happy, as he had supported his three children and they were all good kids.
Chen Shuang looked at her younger brother and nodded gratefully.
For so long, she had considered divorce, but dared not even think about it. Unexpectedly, her younger brother brought it up directly, even giving her a way out.
It's impossible not to be grateful.
But the thought is enough. Chen Shuang's hope is to become strong enough to take care of Yi Fei and the others.
"I'll handle it well, Xiaofei. You don't need to worry about me. Just focus on your wedding."
Chen's mother shook her head: "Divorce is definitely not an option. How can you get married these days if you're divorced?"
"Who will your second sister marry then? What will we do if neither of our daughters can get married?"
Chen Xue was a bit annoyed because her mother kept urging her to find a boyfriend.
"Mom, you don't need to worry about my affairs. Who said I'm going to get married?"
"Can't I just not get married?"
