Chapter 14 This is so embarrassing
"Why are you still standing here?"
She walked around to get the thermos. Qin Yang's ears turned red when he saw her staring at him. He saw her intention and took the thermos and handed it to her first.
Lin Chuxia took the thermos and looked at him again.
Qin Yang touched his nose, knowing that he was disliked by his wife, and bent down to grab Qin's mother's job, "Mom, let me light the fire."
If it wasn't inappropriate, Qin's mother would have almost laughed out loud.
Who would have thought that her little son, who had looked reluctant before, would one day stick to his wife.
But this fire really can't be used by him.
Her youngest son only comes home once a year. He is one of the most promising people in the village. The party secretary and the village chief are both at home. How can she let him enter the kitchen? What do the party secretary and village chief think?
Just as we drove the people away, Zhang Guilan came back.
After washing his hands, he went into the kitchen and saw Lin Chuxia cooking and Qin's mother cooking. He was slightly stunned, but didn't care. He went straight to steam the buns. The dough had been fermented early in the morning.
Lin Chuxia put the braised pork into the pot, and while Qin's mother lit the fire, she went to help Zhang Guilan knead the buns.
"Sister-in-law, how are the seedlings in the field? I heard from mom that they have newly planted beans and eggplants in the field," Lin Chuxia said while kneading a steamed bun.
Zhang Guilan glanced at her, and Lin Chuxia smiled at her, and the discomfort in her heart disappeared.
In fact, she regretted it as soon as she left home, and felt that she shouldn't have brought up the bride price. After all, what the Lin family did had nothing to do with her brother and sister-in-law.
They had already inquired about this when the Lin family wanted to change the marriage, and found out that the Lin family favored the eldest daughter.
Although they are all daughters of the Lin family, they have been treated very differently since childhood. In families with several children in the village, it is common for the eldest to be a daughter and the second to be a daughter as well, so they are not welcomed. It is also understood that if the eldest daughter of the Lin family had not changed her mind, according to the conditions of their Qin family and their younger brother-in-law, it would be impossible to make a temporary marriage exchange.
I have no choice who I marry, so how can she control the amount of the bride price?
"Everything is growing well. The beans are growing a bit bigger. We'll put in the poles in two days," Zhang Guilan said. "The tomatoes in the other field haven't been transplanted yet. They can still produce fruits for another month or so. Once the tomatoes are transplanted, we'll plant some green vegetables, and then we'll plant cabbage."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Chuxia and said, "We have three plots of land, each of which is about two to three acres. The plot at the west entrance of the village is a little smaller. We now plant beans and eggplant in one of these plots, and we plant tomatoes in the smaller plot. The bean and eggplant fields are close to each other, but far from home. The tomato field is close to home, but a little far from the other two plots. One is in the south of the village, and the other is in the west. This year, the prices of beans and eggplants are quite good, and tomatoes are not bad either."
When Qin's mother heard what her eldest daughter-in-law said, she turned around and looked over.
Lin Chuxia also understood. The land had been divided, but no one knew who would plant which plot.
She kneaded the steamed bun without looking up. "Then I'll choose one closer to home. It will be more convenient for me to go to the fields by myself. But I'll have to take advantage of my elder brother and his wife. They've been raising tomatoes for half a season, but now they're letting me pick the fruits."
Mother Qin withdrew her gaze and looked at the stove fire with gentle eyes.
Zhang Guilan laughed heartily, "Hey, what's the point of taking advantage of this? The tomato season is almost over. I hope you don't feel you're losing out. But the land you want is indeed suitable. It's close to home, right on the edge of the village, and it's not a farm for chickens and dogs."
"I know that my sister-in-law is a real person," Lin Chuxia praised sincerely.
Zhang Guilan felt embarrassed. She smiled and wanted to say something, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
This incident is really embarrassing.
Both the host and the guests had a great time at lunch, and they drank a lot of wine and ate a lot of food.
This was the first time that the Qin family tasted Lin Chuxia’s cooking skills, and they were not dissatisfied with this young daughter-in-law.
When rural people marry a wife, isn't it because they want her to be able to take care of the household and cook, and then give birth to a big fat boy?
In the afternoon, the eldest brother and his wife of the Qin family and Qin's father and mother were packing up the poles at home. After Lin Chuxia returned to the house, she told Qin Yang about the selection of the tomato field.
"At that time, the conversation came to that point. My sister-in-law asked me and I just picked a piece at random."
Qin Yang didn't care. "Anywhere is fine, as long as it's close to home."
Farming requires getting up early and going to bed late. When he is not at home, he is worried about his wife walking at night.
"When the time comes, you can plant some simple crops and ask dad to help you. I have a salary and don't rely on the harvest from the fields."
He was afraid that Lin Chuxia was not clear about the family's income situation and would have to work hard from dawn to dusk to farm, so he might as well explain it to him clearly.
"My current monthly salary is 63 yuan. When the time comes, I will send 50 yuan home, you give 10 yuan to your parents, and you can keep the remaining 40 yuan."
His father has been taking medicine for a long time, and most of the money he earned before was spent on his father's medical treatment. Otherwise, he would not have gone into debt because of the 300 yuan dowry.
Lin Chuxia knew that Qin Yang was a road and bridge builder, but she was not clear about his specific job content.
I sent her 40 yuan every month, which was more than a factory worker's monthly salary.
I feel more and more that this kiss is good and wonderful, and it made Qin Yang scream.
"I don't need much money at home, so you should keep some for me." The initial investment in starting a business is huge, and the 300 yuan is enough for her.
"Well, I'll see how the situation goes."
Qin Yang didn't say he was dead, but asked her to pack up and go out with him.
Lin Chuxia finally asked the question in her heart, "When will you return to work?"
I heard that in his previous life, he left early on the second day after his wedding, and it's already afternoon now.
"I'll go back with you to your parents' home," Qin Yang found a net bag, "We'll go get the marriage certificate first, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things for my parents-in-law."
This really surprised Lin Chuxia, but she quickly came to her senses and said, "Okay."
The two of them said something to Qin's mother and pushed their bicycles out the door.
Qin Han and Zhang Guilan were putting away the poles across the yard. When they saw the couple leaving the house, Qin Han suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, we haven't decided who will plant which plot of land yet. If the second son's family wants to plant beans, they should plant the poles these days. Dad is not in good health, and my brother and sister-in-law are definitely not able to do that work. It happens that the second son is at home, so let him plant the bean poles. Please remind me to tell him later."
Zhang Guilan placed the poles she had brought against the wall and clapped her hands. "No need to tell them. The second brother and his family want a tomato field. You can just get up early tomorrow and plant the poles for the bean seedlings."
Qin Han turned around and asked, "Why did they want that piece of land? Did you tell the second brother and his wife? Did you tell them that beans and eggplants are profitable this year? Did you ask the second brother's family to ask for the tomato land?"
Zhang Guilan slapped Qin Han on the shoulder and pushed him. "Is this who I am in your mind? I already said that the second son's wife picked it. She wanted to be close to home. Besides, what's wrong with a tomato field? You can pick the fruits every three days and sell them for money. Beans and eggplants are just a little bit cheaper."
Qin Han staggered after being pushed, but he was not annoyed. Seeing his wife was about to get angry, he smiled and moved closer, "I knew my wife was generous, that's definitely the case. I was petty, I was wrong."
He gave her a thumbs up, Zhang Guilan curled her lips and glared at him, but then she couldn't help laughing.
