Chapter 243: After pretending to be a master, he immediately served his wife diligently
"Xinxin, help me get a pair of chopsticks!"
"We've finished eating the peanuts, Xinxin, go fry some more!"
"There are not enough steamed buns. Xinxin, please cook some more noodles."
The meal lasted for two hours. Li Rong didn't move at all. Even when his chopsticks fell to the ground, he asked Luo Xinxin to pick them up. The sound was so loud that the whole first floor could hear it.
The families next door were all amazed. They had never seen Luo Xinxin so diligent, and she had a really good temper. She let Deputy Battalion Commander Li order her around. If it were their wives, they would definitely be angry that morning.
The appetites of these ten young men were truly astonishing. They finished all the prepared meals. Luo Xinxin even fried an extra bowl of peanuts and cooked a large bowl of noodles, leaving nothing behind.
“Thank you, sister-in-law!”
"Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law!"
"Goodbye, sister-in-law!"
Zhou Xiaohong and her group said goodbye to Luo Xinxin one after another and ignored Li Rong.
That night, Brother Li was like a colorful peacock, so annoying that I didn't want to pay any attention to him.
After seeing off the guests, Luo Xinxin sat down immediately. She didn't eat much in the evening. She cooked a large table of dishes and was so inhaled by the fumes that she had no appetite.
Li Rong cleaned the house without her asking, wiped the table, washed the dishes, and mopped the floor. It was spotless in less than an hour.
"My arms hurt, my shoulders are sore."
As soon as Luo Xinxin finished speaking, Li Rong gave her a very skillful massage with just the right strength, which made her feel very comfortable.
"Push harder over there, right there..."
Luo Xinxin was enjoying herself immensely as she sipped her milk tea and gave instructions.
"Have you earned enough face today?" she asked.
"That's enough. Xiaohong and the others are so jealous."
Li Rong was extremely proud. Zhou Xiaohong and the others looked at him with envy and jealousy all night long. He could feel it and it made him feel really good.
In fact, the looks of Zhou Xiaohong and the others were full of disgust and contempt, he misunderstood.
"No matter how satisfied you are, you can't treat us too often. Once a month is the maximum."
Luo Xinxin set a time limit. She would only work hard once a month at most, no more than that.
"It won't take a month, they'll be so beautiful!"
Li Rong disagreed, saying that one month was too frequent and four or five times a year would be enough.
The two-week honeymoon passed quickly, and they all had to go to work. The military district was dozens of miles away from the farm, and it took more than two hours to ride a bike. Luo Xinxin got up early for a rare occasion, which stunned everyone.
"Xiao Luo, why did you get up so early today?" Xiang Ermei asked with a smile.
"I have to go to work."
Luo Xinxin was a little depressed. She had to talk to Director Lei to see if she could work for half a month and rest for half a month. After all, she was only responsible for technology and didn't need to be on the farm every day.
"Xiao Luo, are you still at work?" Xiang Ermei asked in surprise.
She thought Luo Xinxin didn't have to go to work.
"I work at Qianjin Farm as the chief technician in the vineyard."
Luo Xinxin noticed that several women were secretly glancing at her and spoke loudly on purpose.
"It's amazing! People with culture and skills are popular everywhere." Xiang Ermei was very envious.
"You have skills too. You are good at needlework and embroidery. You are also good at growing vegetables and raising chickens. You cook delicious food too." Luo Xinxin said with a smile.
"What I have is nothing. Any woman can do it."
I'm sorry to say that Xiang Ermei, most women in the village can do these things, and she is not the most outstanding one, so it's really nothing.
"I wouldn't. Sister-in-law, don't belittle yourself. There are not many women as capable as you. You are very good."
Luo Xinxin's tone was very serious. Xiang Ermei had probably been brainwashed by her parents and relatives since she was a child, and was bullied by her in-laws after she got married. She was very traditional at heart, but fortunately she had a strong character and was not the type to accept things submissively, otherwise Luo Xinxin would not have helped her.
Xiang Ermei was stunned. It was the first time someone told her that she was an outstanding person.
What I heard most in the past was 'You are a loser who can't even give birth to a son. A pig is more useful than you'!
"Sister-in-law, do you have any kimchi left?"
Luo Xinxin cooked some noodles in the morning and fried six eggs, two for her and four for Li Rong. The noodles were cooked very well, but they lacked some kimchi.
"Yes, I'll get it for you!"
Xiang Ermei quickly took out a large bowl, which was still piled high. She also took out a bowl of fermented tofu, "I just made the fermented tofu, come and see how it tastes."
"My sister-in-law's cooking must be delicious, thank you!"
Luo Xinxin's eyes lit up. This old-fashioned moldy tofu was super delicious, but it was a pity that she didn't know how to make it.
He smiled at his second sister, knowing full well that she was getting the greater advantage.
Luo Xinxin never ate anything for free. Every time she gave her children kimchi, she would give them biscuits and candies every two days. The things she gave them were much more valuable than her kimchi.
Peng Chunlan and her second sister, Peng Lianqiao, had also finished their breakfast and were about to go to school with their schoolbags on their backs. The two sisters hesitated for a few minutes before walking up to their second sister and whispering, "Mom, we need to buy some exercise books and pens."
"Can you hold on any longer?"
Xiang Ermei looked embarrassed. She still had some money on her, which was the five yuan wages Yuan Xiaojie gave her for making shoes. She returned one yuan and used the remaining four yuan to buy urgently needed daily necessities for the family, leaving only one yuan left.
But it’s still four or five days before Peng Shuangcheng gives me living expenses, and I have to use this dollar to buy groceries.
The two sisters hesitated for a few seconds and nodded.
At worst, you can stick some white paper on the old exercise book, add some water to the ink, it doesn’t matter if it’s a little lighter, sharpen the pencil, and you can still write by holding it.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Xiang Ermei saw her daughter's dilemma and felt a pang in her heart. She took out two dimes from her pocket and stuffed it into her daughter's pocket.
"One dime is enough."
Peng Chunlan returned a dime. She planned not to buy ink for the time being, but only to buy exercise books and pencils for her sister. The ink could be diluted with some water to last for a while.
"Take it. Your home doesn't need this little bit."
He smiled at his second sister and put the money into his daughter's pocket. No matter how hard it was, he would not let his child's studies suffer.
Peng Chunlan took her second sister to school, and Peng Shuangcheng also finished his breakfast and went to work with a sullen face. Only the second sister and the six-year-old daughter Peng Banxia were left at home.
The names of the three daughters were all given by Xiang Ermei. Peng Shuangcheng disliked the fact that they were daughters and refused to name them, letting her choose any name she wanted. Xiang Ermei was illiterate, but she knew a lot about Chinese herbal medicines, so she named them after the herbs that grew in the mountains when they were born.
When the eldest daughter was born, the orchids on the mountain were blooming particularly fragrantly, so she was named Chunlan.
When her second daughter was just one month old, she carried her child on her back to the mountain to pick Forsythia. When her third daughter was one month old, she carried the third daughter on her back and took the eldest and second daughters hand to the mountain to dig Pinellia, which she could dry and sell at the purchasing station.
Luo Xinxin looked at Peng Shuangcheng with disgust. He looked so unlucky all day long.
Li Rong also finished his breakfast and prepared to go to work.
"Put the bowls in the basin. I'll come back to wash them at noon," he instructed.
"I won't be back tonight. I'll be back in a few days."
Luo Xinxin didn't want to run back and forth, so she planned to stay for a few days after working for a week.
Li Rong felt bad as they had to separate after getting married, but the farm and the military area were indeed far apart, so it was unrealistic for him to come back every day.
"Be careful on the road, and call me if anything happens."
After giving the instructions, Li Rong looked around and saw that there was no one in the corridor. He kissed Luo Xinxin on the face and then left happily.
Xiang Ermei just walked out and saw it. She smiled knowingly. Sister Luo and Deputy Battalion Commander Li have a really good relationship. This is what a couple should be like!
Thinking of her marriage with Peng Shuangcheng, Xiang Ermei felt a little bitter. When Peng Shuangcheng and she first got married, they had a brief period of sweetness, but later Peng Shuangcheng learned some culture and was promoted, and he began to look down on her.
"Mom...has a headache."
Peng Banxia staggered over, her face pale.
