Sister Li patted Shen Mengyao's arm excitedly, as if she had found a soulmate: "I said the same thing at the beginning, but other people didn't believe it, saying that I was uneducated and couldn't understand these things."
Chen Mengyao felt that many people in the family compound looked down on uneducated military wives: "Who said that if you are uneducated, you can't know these things?
I tell you.
The women in our village would occasionally talk about this topic when they were washing clothes together.
Some have strong personalities.
Even the length of men's bodies has to be compared.
I only know these things after listening to them many times.”
The two women forgot that there was a man next to them and were talking dirty to their heart's content.
Xiao Ye couldn't listen any longer and interrupted: "Wife, you rest at home, I'll go buy groceries."
After being interrupted, Chen Mengyao said with some regret: "I need to buy a lot of vegetables today, and you can't carry so much with one hand.
I'll go with you."
Xiao Ye nodded: "Okay."
Sister-in-law Li also said: "I want to buy groceries too, let's go together."
…
On the way.
Sister Li told Chen Mengyao a lot of things about the family compound, and also told her which people got along well and which people didn't.
Chen Mengyao listened with great interest, nodded from time to time, and asked questions when she found any.
Xiao Ye, who was walking behind, saw the two of them sticking together, and felt very uncomfortable. She was obviously his wife, so how could she be snatched away by Sister-in-law Li?
…
The supply and marketing cooperative only sells daily necessities and vegetables.
For meat, go to the nearby grocery store.
There are many kinds of vegetables there.
There are oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, vegetables, meat, seafood, etc.
Chen Mengyao bought a big grass carp, two kilograms of meat, and some other things.
Sister Li was stunned: “Sister Shen, you are so willing to do this!”
Chen Mengyao smiled and said, "The soldiers helped me move furniture yesterday, so I plan to treat them to a meal."
Sister Li also didn't like taking advantage of others. If someone helped her, she would return the favor in another way: "You must."
The three of them bought some vegetables and some bottles and jars.
Only after she had used up all her banknotes did Chen Mengyao suggest going home.
…
The dinner invitation is scheduled for the afternoon.
When Mrs. Li heard the news, she rushed to help.
Chen Mengyao was a person who was good at expressing herself. She put her arm around Sister Li and said, "Sister Li, you will be my best friend from now on."
Sister Li grinned, and she wanted to pour out her heart to Shen Mengyao: "Sister Shen, you will be my Li Cuihua's biological sister from now on."
The two of them chuckled and started washing vegetables again.
With help, the time was shortened a lot.
After all the dishes were cooked, Chen Mengyao started to light the fire and clean the pot.
Her movements were awkward and clumsy, which made Sister Li's eyebrows twitch. "Sister, let me do it."
Chen Mengyao refused: “No, I haven’t cooked for a while, so I’m rusty.
You’ll get used to it soon.”
Sister Li looked doubtful: "..."
is that so?
Looking at the girl's movements, it seems like she has never cooked in her life.
In order not to undermine Chen Mengyao's self-confidence, Sister Li kept these words to herself.
Chen Mengyao thought she had her original memory and could cook, but she couldn't even light a fire.
I lit the firewood, and it went out within a minute.
Chen Mengyao blew it several times.
I was sweating all over, but I didn't blow it.
Later, she simply used a hair dryer.
Because I used too much force, I choked my throat and started coughing non-stop.
Xiao Ye walked over and gently patted Chen Mengyao on the back: "Are you okay?"
Chen Mengyao wiped her face: "I'm asleep."
Sister Li also felt distressed watching from the side: "Sister, you are so young, you can't even cook at first glance, let me do it."
Chen Mengyao looked at the non-flammable stove and felt a headache. Could it be that she didn't inherit her father's cooking skills?
If this is true, then isn't she a kitchen killer like in her previous life?
Chen Mengyao didn't believe it and decided to give it another try. She asked Sister Li to teach her how to use this earthen stove.
The dry firewood burned brighter and brighter in Mrs. Li's hands.
As soon as it reached Chen Mengyao's hands, it was immediately extinguished without any discussion.
Chen Mengyao couldn't help but swear: "Damn it, damn it, you're just looking at the food!"
Chen Mengyao's fair face was stained with a little dust, and her bright eyes were now spitting fire.
She looked so angry that Sister Li laughed at her: "Sister, let me do it."
After trying many times without success, Chen Mengyao had no choice but to give up. However, she felt that it was not her problem but the stove's problem, so she tried to avoid internal friction: "Aye, I'm not used to using this kind of earthen stove. Let's use honeycomb coal."
Xiao Ye watched Chen Mengyao making a fuss from the side: "Tang, I'll ask Li Bo to bring coal over tomorrow."
Sister-in-law Li was filled with envy. One was making a fuss and the other was laughing. This was the kind of marriage that everyone envied.
What a pity.
She had only seen this couple, and most other people's marriages were a mess.
