Chapter 162: Shen's Wife is Ugly

The dishes were cooked quickly. A large bowl of boiled fish was placed on top with dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns and minced garlic. A spoonful of hot oil was poured on top, and the kitchen was filled with fragrance.

Shen's mother is not a nosy mother-in-law. She eats whatever her daughter-in-law cooks and never complains about using too much oil. Her son and daughter-in-law's family conditions are not bad either, so she just eats.

If you don’t eat it now, you won’t be able to eat it even when you die.

She said, "Shuyin, the fish is ready, right?"

"Mom, put some cilantro on it. I've cut it."

Lin Shuyin was washing the pot. The stir-fried pork and mu shu pork had already been fried. The only thing missing was some fried Chinese cabbage. However, Chinese cabbage cooks quickly and was done in two minutes.

"Okay."

Mother Shen grabbed a handful of chopped coriander and put it on the boiled fish. She couldn't wait to eat it. The fish was absolutely delicious and made people drool just by looking at it.

"Shuyin, are you almost done?"

Lin Shuyin, "It's almost done, Mom. You guys eat first."

Shen's mother: "We'll wait for you."

Then he took the fish out.

Siyu loves eating fish just like her mother. When she saw her grandmother bring out a big bowl of fish, she immediately sat down obediently and waited for the meal.

Chen Xusheng looked at the dishes on the table, all of which were meat dishes, and felt a little embarrassed, "Brother Shen, this is too rich."

Shen Guannan poured him some wine and said with a smile, "Your sister-in-law cooks delicious food." His wife didn't like cooking before, but she has loved cooking in the past six months.

And it tastes better the more you cook it.

The problem here is not that Lin Shuyin's cooking skills have improved, but that she used the cooking skill card. At the beginning of the year, 996 told her that several cards were on sale and asked her if she needed them.

She looked at them, and then used 100 points to buy three skill cards, namely a chef skill card, a makeup skill card, and a flower arranging skill card, all of which are permanent.

Normally these skill cards require more than 2,000 points, but since they are so cheap, you might as well take them.

The fried Chinese cabbage was quickly done and Lin Shuyin served it on the table.

No one at the table had started eating yet, so Lin Shuyin said, "Why aren't you eating? Come on."

Shen Guannan smiled, "I'm waiting for you, my wife, come and sit down." He patted the seat next to him.

Chen Xusheng also said, "Sister-in-law, these dishes are enough, don't worry about it."

"Well, it's done. I'm going to wash my hands."

After Lin Shuyin took her seat, everyone started eating. Shen Guannan picked up a piece of fish for Chen Xusheng and said, "Come, try your sister-in-law's cooking."

Chen Xusheng picked up the fish meat and put it in his mouth, then his eyes widened, "Wow, this is so delicious."

Lin Shuyin laughed, "You are exaggerating."

Chen Xusheng shook his head, "No, no, it's really delicious."

"Okay, it's delicious, eat more."

The guests enjoyed the meal very much. Shen Guannan and Chen Xusheng had a drink, but they didn't drink too much, only one or two glasses each.

The food today was so delicious, with nothing but meat. Everyone ate more than two bowls, and little Siyu also ate two and a half bowls.

Not to mention the watermelon after the meal. When Chen Xusheng came out of Shen's house, his stomach was bloated and he was full. In fact, he didn't want to have any more after finishing a bowl of rice. He felt embarrassed to eat too much when dining at someone else's house.

But his sister-in-law might have seen through his thoughts, and she served him rice by pressing it down. It looked like one bowl, but it was actually two bowls. He ate it all up, not to mention that he also ate a large piece of watermelon later.

Lin Jianshe, Salin and his family of three came here in mid-July.

After half a year of preparation and a little mailing with Sarin, we have bought everything for our home. There is nothing missing and we just need people to move in.

On the second day after arriving in Beijing, the two of them came to visit Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan.

"Did you two arrive yesterday?" Lin Shuyin poured them some water and they nodded. "Yes, we arrived around 5pm yesterday. It was too late, so we didn't come."

Lin Shuyin: "Is there anything missing at home?"

Sarin, "No need, I have mailed everything I can from Hohhot, and I asked my brother to move back to Hohhot for the things I can't mail."

Lin Jianshe smiled, "Ao Dun said that there are too many closets at home and they can't put anything else in." His sister's closet and the couple's closets were all moved to Ao Dun's house.

Lin Shuyin, "It will be useful in the future. When the children grow up, each of them will have a wardrobe."

"If you two need money or anything, tell me. I have it."

Sarin took a sip of water and shook his head, "No need Shuyin, we still have more than a thousand yuan in our hands. When we left, my mother gave me a hundred yuan, and my sister-in-law also gave me a hundred yuan."

"I will return to the team tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and I will receive the allowance next month."

One thing is that she transferred to the art troupe of the Beijing military. Although she is no longer an officer, she still has her military service record. This year marks her seventh year in the army, almost eight years, and her allowance is paid according to the number of years.

Her monthly allowance is 31 yuan, and starting next year it will be 37 yuan a month.

37 yuan a month was enough for their family to live on, mainly for her son's kindergarten fees and his food and drink. As a couple, her husband's food and drink were taken care of by the school, while hers were taken care of by the army.

Life is still very easy for their family of three, and it will be even easier when they graduate and start working.

Lin Shuyin listened and nodded, "Okay, if you need anything, tell me. You can return to the team the day after tomorrow. Take a good rest these two days and take a walk."

Sarin, "I mainly want to learn about the work of the cultural troupe here. Anyway, I will be living in Beijing in the future, so I have plenty of time to go sightseeing."

She wanted to return to the team as soon as possible and understand her job clearly, the new environment, the new job, and the new comrades and colleagues. She wanted to get to know them clearly as soon as possible.

"That's fine. Your brother-in-law and I will take you to the troops tomorrow. To be honest, I have been in Beijing for half a year, and I have never visited the troops here."

Lin Jianshe, "You guys go ahead, I'll stay home to look after the kids."

Sarin nodded.

the next day.

Lin Shuyin got up early with Shen Guannan and went to pick up Sarin. Then the three of them came to the army. Shen Guannan took them to the office of the director of the art troupe, said something, and went back to handle work.

Sarin's specialty is the horse-head fiddle. Sarin went to the director's office to report in, while Lin Shuyin was waiting outside holding her horse-head fiddle.

Maybe because Sarin was brought here personally by Staff Officer Shen Guannan, and because of their relationship, the regiment commander took special care of Sarin and wanted to personally bring Sarin to the regiment.

When the head of the group saw Lin Shuyin, he smiled and said, "I've heard that Shen's target is a college student, but I've never met him."

Lin Shuyin smiled, "I used to be in the art troupe as well."

"I heard that you were in a choir before." The leader smiled.

I received a notice a few years ago that a senior official from Meng Province would be coming, and my wife was from the art troupe and would come with us. But she didn't come. I heard that she was admitted to university and is now studying there.

The three of them chatted as they entered the group.

The band leader solemnly introduced Sarin and then handed Sarin over to the band leader. Lin Shuyin handed the qin to her and said, "Saren, I'm leaving now."

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt like she was sending her daughter to school.

They were all strangers and strangers, and Sarin felt a little sad. She nodded, "Yeah." She didn't want her to leave.

Lin Shuyin didn't leave. She turned around and went to look for Shen Guannan. She was free anyway, so she wanted to see what he was doing all day.

Lin Shuyin wanted to sit quietly and not disturb his work, but when Shen Guannan saw her, and thought that he was not busy at work, he took her around and introduced her to everyone he met, saying, "My wife."

Sarin got to know the band members.

Someone named Xu Lulu asked, "Saren, who is Shen the Counselor to you?"

Unfortunately, she just saw the three of them walking together at the gate of the unit. Sarin had not expected that her "backstage" would be known so quickly, and she had wanted to keep it a secret for a few days.

She said, "My brother-in-law, I am his brother-in-law's wife."

Xu Lulu heard, "Your brother-in-law, you are his brother-in-law's wife, I'll sort it out later."

Sarin, "......." It's not this relationship, we still need to sort it out

After a few seconds, Xu Lulu seemed to understand, "It means that you are the target of Shen's wife's younger brother."

Sarin: "....yes."

Xu Lulu glanced behind her, then turned around and asked, "So, Sarin, is your aunt pretty?"

Sarin felt that this question was strange, "My aunt, which aunt? I have three aunts."

Xu Lulu exclaimed, "It's Shen Shen's wife."

Sarin, "That's the girl who came with me just now. What's wrong? Why are you asking this?"

Xu Lulu's eyes widened when she heard this. "Is it true?"

Sarin nodded, "Really."

Xu Lulu, "Okay, I understand."

Sarin felt that she was inexplicable, but not inexplicably so, because Xu Lulu asked this question on behalf of her friend.

Her good friend Zhang Yi saw Counsellor Shen during a performance and fell in love with him. Later, she made some inquiries and heard that he was married.

If it were someone else, they would have stopped there, but her best friend was a little weird, and she had never seen anyone in Shen's wife's team, so she didn't know whether she was good-looking or not, but she just imagined that she was ugly.

It's fine to just think about it yourself, but sometimes when I'm chatting with others, I suddenly say, "Do you think Shen's wife is ugly?"

"Why else didn't he bring it here?"

It would be fine for them to just listen to these words, but she was really afraid that one day it would get to the ears of Counselor Shen, which would be very bad.

Although her brother is the deputy battalion commander, doesn't she know what rank the deputy battalion commander is? Staff Officer Shen heard this and wanted to make a plan. So his brother could only be the deputy battalion commander for a while.

Xu Lulu was also worried sick. She had told Zhang Yi before that Shen's wife used to be in the art troupe, so it was impossible for her to be ugly. If she was ugly, she would not be able to join the art troupe.

She didn't know what her friend was thinking. When she heard that someone was getting married, she thought that the wife was ugly. But even if she was ugly, so what? Someone was getting married. Whether beautiful or ugly, everyone was getting married.

She didn't stand a chance.

After Xu Lulu finished talking to Sarin, she went to tell Zhang Yi about this matter, "Hey, Zhang Yi, do you know who our new comrade is?"

Zhang Yi raised her eyes and asked, "Who is it?"

Xu Lulu raised her eyebrows, "She is the wife of Shen's brother-in-law, that is, her wife's sister-in-law."

Zhang Yi glanced at her and said, "...Oh, a relative of Counsellor Shen."

Xu Lulu, "I used to be in the army. By the way, have you seen the girl who came with Sarin?"

"I saw it, what do you want to say?"

Zhang Yi didn't understand what she meant by that. Xu Lulu said, "She is Shen's wife. She is very pretty."

"Zhang Yi, I want to tell you that you should stop talking about others in the future. You should be more careful. People are married and have children. Whether their wives are beautiful or ugly has nothing to do with us."

What level are they? They are just minions, why are they talking about their superiors?

Zhang Yi pursed her lips, "I understand."

Xu Lulu smiled, "Well, I wonder if your brother is free this weekend."

Zhang Yi: "Why don't you go and ask."

Yes, Xu Lulu’s worry was not in vain. She was discussing a partner with Zhang Yi’s brother, and she was afraid that Zhang Yi’s words would affect her brother.

Otherwise, she can say whatever she wants and just watch it for fun.

Lin Shuyin didn't realize that she was being treated as an ugly freak. She followed Shen Guannan around for a while until noon when he got off work. Lin Shuyin said, "Let's call Sarin to go with us."

Otherwise, Sarin would have to walk back.

Shen Guannan, "Okay." The two of them came to the art troupe.

Zhang Yi took a closer look at Lin Shuyin this time. She was pretty, but...she didn't seem to be a good match for Counselor Shen.

Xu Lulu was beside her and said, "They are a perfect match, handsome man and beautiful woman. Look at how Shen's eyes are fixed on his wife. It's obvious how much he likes her."

Zhang Yi turned around and went back. She felt that Xu Lulu was annoying. Did she say that on purpose?

Lin Shuyin didn't know that Shen Guannan, at his age, had already had an affair. She called Sarin and asked, "How do you feel? Is it the same as in Hohhot?"

Sarin, "Art troupes are all pretty much the same. Shuyin, don't worry about me. I'll be able to adapt quickly."

"I have to ride my bike here this afternoon."

Their bicycle was also mailed.

"Okay, riding a bicycle is faster."

Although it is quite close by walking, it still takes about 20 minutes. Riding a bicycle is faster.
