In this story of daily life during the 80s, the once fat and ugly Chu Xuan is reborn in a small fishing village in 1983. In this life, she doesn't want to cause Mu Chenze's family to be rui...
Chapter 49 Want to be recognized as a godmother
The voice is a bit high.
Mu Chenze was glad that no one passed by.
"Keep your voice down! She and I are just buddies! She came to your house to cook to thank you and me for supplying her with goods. There's no other meaning. Don't talk about love or anything like that anymore."
There was a warning in his tone.
The more warnings he received, the more curious Ji Ping became.
Stop the cart steadily.
He lowered his voice deliberately, "You and her have kissed before, so you really don't feel anything?"
When Mu Chenze heard the word "kiss", his heartbeat quickened. He almost dropped the hairtail fish in his hand. He looked annoyed. "How can I feel anything? I like thin girls! She's so fat, do you think I would feel anything? I proposed to her before because I wanted to take responsibility! Now she doesn't need me to take responsibility, I am grateful to her from the bottom of my heart!"
Ji Ping raised an eyebrow, "Do you really like thin ones?"
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a familiar figure walking towards me.
"Exactly! I like skinny ones!"
Mu Chenze said it in a decisive tone.
He did not see Chu Xuan carrying a backpack not far away.
Chu Xuan heard it clearly. It turned out that this guy liked thin girls. He must have been wronged in his previous life by marrying such a fat girl. Although he later adjusted his body and lost a lot of weight, he was still a fat girl at the beginning.
How much courage and sense of responsibility did it take to marry her?
"Mu Chenze, Ji Ping, are you two going to my house to deliver fish?"
Mu Chenze recognized Chu Xuan's voice and suddenly felt guilty.
I told myself: Why should I feel guilty? I just like being thin! I'm not lying!
Seeing that Mu Chenze didn't say anything, Ji Ping took the initiative to answer, "Yes! Chu Xuan, what a coincidence."
"It's quite a coincidence. Since we've met, please ask Mu Chenze to take this basket to your house. There are food ingredients in it. You continue to pull the cart, and I'll push it from behind."
Chu Xuan put down the backpack and stuffed it into Mu Chenze's arms.
Pretend to push the cart.
Mu Chenze stopped her, "Chu Xuan, I'll handle the delivery. I'll let your brother take over the goods later. Go to Ji Ping's house and cook first! Ji Ping, give her the key."
The backpack returned to Chu Xuan's hands.
Mu Chenze put the hairtail in his hand into the backpack.
The meaning is very clear, this kind of physical work can only be done by men.
Ji Ping immediately took the key off his waistband and handed it to Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan took it, tossed the key upwards, and jokingly said, "Mu Chenze, you dare to come to my house in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid that your mother will think too much?"
Mu Chenze looked fearless. "My mom can take the initiative to arrange for us to rent a car to go to the city to deliver goods, so I can't go to your house and inform her in front of her what time we will leave tomorrow morning? It doesn't matter if you are not at home. I can tell your brother the same thing."
Gao Meijuan mentioned this matter just before Chu Xuan left.
After hearing this, Chu Xuan was very grateful to Qin Mahua.
Qin Mahua put aside the past grudges and, for her safety, took the initiative to invite her to get in Mu Chenze's car.
The villagers will definitely discuss this matter after they find out. Qin Mahua has shown her attitude and this matter will soon be over.
"Mu Chenze, your mother is so good to me! I even want to recognize her as my godmother!"
By recognizing her as her godmother, she can legitimately be filial to Qin Mahua and repay the kindness of her previous life.
Mu Chenze refused directly, "That won't work! A fortune teller once said that my mother is not destined to have a daughter, and I can't adopt a goddaughter, otherwise whoever I adopt will be unlucky."
Ji Ping thought hard, why had he never heard Aunt Mahua mention it?
But he didn't say anything more.
Chu Xuan didn't remember this saying in her previous life, and muttered softly, "I'll ask Aunt Qin myself..."
Mu Chenze said with an expression that he was not afraid of your question, "Let's go to Ji Ping's house and cook! Ji Ping and I are hungry."
Ji Ping's stomach growled cooperatively.
Now, Chu Xuan said no more, waved his hand, and walked towards Ji Ping's house.
Ji Ping's home is in a remote area and few people go there. In addition, she was walking on a small road and did not meet any villagers.
When Mu Chenze and Ji Ping pulled Yu into Chu Xuan's house, Qin Mahua, Liu Zhaodi and others also came in.
Help unload the fish.
After unloading the fish, Mu Chenze took the initiative to explain, "We just set a time to go to the city tonight. I came here to inform Chu Xuan."
Chu Feng received Chu Xuan's instructions not to mention the fact that they had already chartered a car together. "Brother Chenze, thank you for agreeing to let my sister charter a car with you. What time do we leave tonight? My sister just left. She said she's going for a walk first and then going to the beach. I'll let her know when she comes back."
Mu Chenze said casually, "You're welcome. I also want to thank your sister for helping me share the fare! The truck will come to pick up your sister and the goods at one in the morning."
"Okay! My sister made some red bean and barley soup. I'll go serve it to Brother Chenze and Brother Ji..."
Before Chu Feng could finish, Ji Ping spoke up, "I'll get it, you go ahead and do your thing! Thank you!"
Every time I come here, I have a big bowl of soup, either mung bean soup or red bean and barley soup, which makes me feel so comfortable after drinking it.
He ran into the kitchen with ease, scooped out two large bowls of red bean and barley soup, and handed one to Mu Chenze. "I used to drink the soup made by Xiaofeng, but today is the first time I've drunk the soup made by Chu Xuan."
Mu Chenze took it calmly, feeling a little excited inside. Could it be that Chu Xuan guessed that he would come this afternoon and specially made red bean and barley soup himself?
The soup is bright red and smells fragrant.
After gulping down a few mouthfuls, drink slowly. It is very good for strengthening the spleen and removing dampness.
While drinking the soup, he quietly approached Qin Mahua and whispered a few words to her.
After hearing this, Qin Mahua looked puzzled and muttered softly, "This fortune teller? Can you trust him?"
Mu Chenze said calmly, "It's better to believe it than not to believe it!"
Qin Mahua said helplessly, "I understand."
Ji Ping drank it all in one breath as usual...
About ten minutes later, Mu Chenze and Ji Ping pulled a cart and walked into Ji Ping's house.
It's the aroma of braised pork.
Ji Ping put down the cart and walked towards the kitchen.
Mu Chenze went to lock the gate of the courtyard to prevent anyone from smelling the aroma of meat and rushing in to eat for free.
There really are shameless people in the village.
What's more, he didn't want others to know that Chu Xuan was there.
An hour and a half later, the food was served.
Braised pork, braised hairtail with eggplant, Mushu pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cold cucumber salad, wild mushroom and egg soup, and white rice.
The three of them sat at the octagonal table in the main hall to eat.
At first, Ji Ping suggested putting the food on the kang table, but Mu Chenze rejected it outright.
The reason he gave was that Chu Xuan was so fat that it was inconvenient for him to use the kang table.
In fact, he didn't want Chu Xuan to use the kang table in Ji Ping's house.
You can use the kang table to get on the kang.
You can't just sit on this kang.
Before starting to eat, the three of them used water instead of wine and raised their bowls together.
Chu Xuan spoke first, "Thank you both for supporting my grilled fish workshop! Come on! Let's get rich together!"
There was a chivalrous tone in his voice.
Mu Chenze and Ji Ping smiled at each other and said in unison, "Let's get rich together!"
After drinking half a bowl of water, he started to eat the food.
The food prepared by Chu Xuan was delicious and tasty. Ji Ping and Mu Chenze devoured it with relish and had no time to talk for a while.
Chu Xuan chewed slowly. Except for the dish of eggplant and fried hairtail, he ate some of the other dishes. He also had a bowl of white rice and a bowl of wild mushroom and egg soup.
At the end of the meal, there was nothing left except the fish bones.
Ji Ping couldn't help but sigh, "It's been a long time since I've had such delicious home-cooked food."
Mu Chenze burped and said, "It tastes better than what my mom and sister-in-law cook.
Chu Xuan's face was filled with confidence! "Thank you for the compliment! The meal I invite you to has to be delicious! The tide is starting to recede, I'm going to go fishing, are you two coming?"
There are tools for catching seafood in the backpack.
Ji Ping yawned. "I've been busy at sea all day. I'm tired and want to rest early. Why don't you two go? The flashlight is on the windowsill."
Chu Xuan looked at Mu Chenze, hoping that he would say yes, so that they could go around the mountain road together to the secret spot for catching seafood.
