Chapter 51: Slap in the face
"Yes, it was the medical qualification exam. I did quite well, so I got first place." She answered modestly but not modestly.
Her answer immediately caused an uproar among the villagers who were watching.
"First place, that's not the best."
"It's not the best, this is the first place." A villager gave him a thumbs up.
For a moment, Li Yiyi received countless admiring glances.
"Hey, Liu Hehua, didn't you keep praising your daughter as the best in the field today? Jiang Hong's wife got first place in the exam, isn't she better than your daughter?"
Just at this moment, Li Yiyi saw a figure sneaking towards the village.
She was a woman with a slightly dark complexion and not much flesh on her face. She looked a bit like Yang Tao.
"I, how would I know? Don't ask me, I know nothing." After saying this, Liu Hehua ran into the village in a panic with a red face.
"Bah, you're a slap in the face." A villager spat on the ground at her fleeing figure.
Li Yiyi acted as a spectator on the side, and when she saw that no one was paying attention, she quickly pushed her bicycle back home.
She just got home and found that Jiang Hong, who came back late, had arrived home earlier than her.
"You came back earlier than me. Where did you come from? Why didn't I see you?" She ran to him who was packing beef and asked in surprise.
"There is a small path on the back mountain, and usually not many people pass by." He replied.
"What do we do with this beef? You use your mouth and I'll do it." Soon, he pointed at the washed beef and asked.
"Cut half into long strips and the other half into small pieces, okay?" After he made a cross, she immediately forgot about the question and answered according to what he said.
Jiang Hong smiled and said, "You underestimate your man too much. Don't worry, leave it to me."
Seeing him roll up his sleeves, revealing his muscular arms, she immediately stroked her chin to observe them carefully and replied, "You are worthy of being my man."
When Jiang Hong heard her words, he looked up and saw who she was looking at, and immediately laughed, "Are you satisfied with this little bit? I have something that will make you even more satisfied." His voice was a little hoarse, which made people feel flustered.
Li Yiyi blushed and glared at him coquettishly. Fortunately, they were the only couple in the yard at this time. She twisted his strong arm with her hand and warned him in a soft voice, "Don't give me some color to open the dyeing room. Wash the meat quickly."
"I'm going to tell my parents to come over to eat roast lamb. You're responsible for washing them clean." After saying this, she quickly ran out of the house.
Jiang Hong laughed out loud, looking at her running back with tenderness on his face. At this moment, he suddenly hoped that the day of returning to the team could come later.
Even after she had walked away for a while, Li Yiyi could still feel the burning sensation on both sides of her cheeks.
Fortunately, there were no other people on the road at that time, otherwise they would have thought that she was drunk and walked out.
When she arrived at Lao Jiang's house, Li Yiyi deliberately stopped for a while. After making sure that her cheeks were no longer so hot, she walked into the yard.
At this time, all the people from Lao Jiang's family who went to work have returned home.
"Dad, Mom." As she walked into the yard, she saw the two elders of the Jiang family sitting in the yard to enjoy the cool air. She walked up to them and greeted them with a smile.
The old couple who were talking heard the shouting behind them and turned around at the same time.
"It's the third son's wife. Have you cooked? If not, let the third son and the others come to our house for dinner." When Jiang's mother saw her coming over, she asked sincerely.
Li Yiyi smiled and replied, "No, Mom, we're already cooking at home. By the way, Dad, Mom, tell my sister-in-law and the others not to cook tonight. You all can come to our place for dinner to celebrate my good grades in the exam."
Jiang's mother was about to say no, but when she heard that her third daughter-in-law was celebrating a good grade on the test, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and changed her words, "Okay, I'll tell your sister-in-law that we can just eat a little bit when the time comes, there's no need to prepare so many dishes."
Li Yiyi agreed immediately, "I know, Mom, it's just some home-cooked food."
"Is the third brother going back to the team in the next few days?" Jiang's mother asked this matter cautiously, looking at her face.
Li Yiyi saw her attitude, smiled, and answered generously, "I heard him say that he will be back in the team the day after tomorrow."
"That's really fast. You won't be angry with the third child, right?" Jiang's mother continued to look at her and asked.
Li Yiyi shook her head generously, "How could that be? I know he went back to defend his country. I understand and I support him."
"That's good. I was worried that you would be angry that he would be away for a long time again. You have indeed changed a lot. If something like this happened in the past, you would have to make a fuss." Jiang's mother looked at her with satisfaction and said.
Li Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was talking about her original body.
"I was ignorant before, but I won't do that again in the future," she promised sheepishly.
Seeing her blushing cheeks, Jiang's mother didn't say anything more, for fear of making her daughter-in-law angry. Although her daughter-in-law had changed, she still didn't dare to say anything too much.
"Okay, Mom won't say much. You two just need to live a good life. If there are any unclear issues, just talk them out. Once you understand, there will be no problem."
"Yes, I know. Mom, I'll go back first. Also, tell my sister-in-law and the others that Jianshe and the others might have lunch at my place, so there's no need to look for them."
"Okay, I'll tell your sister-in-law, but those kids will probably be so happy. Ever since they ate the food you gave them last time, they've been complaining about the food their mother cooks at home." Jiang's mother said with a smile.
After leaving Lao Jiang's house, Li Yiyi searched the village and finally found the children at the foot of the mountain.
Jiang Yueyue and Jiang Xiaobao, who had been running with their brothers and sisters for half a day, ran into their mother's arms covered in sweat.
"Mom, brother Jianshe took us to get bird eggs, and we ate them. They were delicious and fragrant." There were some dark spots on the corners of Jiang Yueyue's mouth.
"Aunt San." Jiang Jianshe walked over and called out to her, a little embarrassed.
Several others also shouted to her, "Aunt San."
Li Yiyi looked at them and said, "To thank you for helping Auntie take care of Yueyue and Xiaobao today, you will all go home with Auntie to have dinner later. I have already told your grandmother."
When the children heard that they were going back to their aunt's house where they often ate meat, their eyes lit up.
"Aunt San, do you still want to eat dumplings?" Jiang Jianguo asked, licking his lips.
Li Yiyi smiled and replied, "What's the point of eating dumplings all the time? Of course, we should change the taste and try grilled fish and baked pancakes. How about it? Do you like it?"
