Chapter 20 The Zhao Family Came Down from Their Hometown (Part 2)
They, they were just saying that before.
I want Zhao Fengnian and his wife to pay more attention to their affairs.
How much does a goose cost? How can you just take it with you?
Zhao Fengnian was stunned: "No, then why do I smell the smell of smoked products on the bag?"
Zhao Meilan's face tightened, but before she could say anything, Zhao Cuilan spoke first. "It's my little sister. My family brought you some smoked chicken feet and eggs. She asked Xiaoming and Xiaofeng if they wanted to eat them, and then she ate more than the two children. Even though they were so salty and spicy, she could still finish several."
"You ate it too, why are you criticizing me? There wasn't much to begin with. Can my second brother snatch the food from the child?" Zhao Meilan's previous nonchalant expression disappeared, and her face flushed red.
After all, she is still a girl who has not yet married. When things are told to her frankly, her ability to endure is not as strong as that of her married second sister, and she still feels ashamed.
Zhao Fengnian opened his mouth to say it was okay, but Shi Qingqing smiled and sat back in her seat: "It's okay, there are claws for sale here, they are soaked claws of rock dragons, and they taste good. If you like them, buy some to try when you get paid later."
Zhao Meilan thought to herself, is her sister-in-law hinting that she should buy her a claw as compensation after she gets her salary?
Why? Her dowry was just two quilts.
The originally lively dinner table was suddenly filled with the sound of Zhao Guangming yelling at Xiaofeng not to drink the yogurt.
Xu Ju scolded the child not to fight with her sister, but she put the whole row of yogurt in the child's arms and asked Xiao Feng: "Your brother is ignorant, don't bother with him, or I will beat him later."
Xiaofeng was used to it and didn't make a fuss.
After the meal, there was not a trace of oil left. As soon as Shi Qingqing left the table, Xu Ju apologized and said that the child was tired and wanted to rest early.
Shi Qingqing smiled but didn't expose him.
She is a newlywed bride, but she is not an idiot in life.
"Okay, then Fengnian, you take them to the rental house. We have already paid a month's rent in advance. You can rest assured and settle down. We can look for a job tomorrow."
Shi Qingqing didn't accompany them at all, nor did she help with the luggage. She still had dishes to clean up.
After unloading the taro, sweet potatoes and other things, they didn't have much luggage that needed help, but Zhao Meilan deliberately acted coquettishly and asked Zhao Fengnian to carry her quilt and bucket.
Shi Qingqing didn't pay any attention to it. She cleaned up the aftermath of the meal, swept the floor, and then sorted out the specialties that she brought down from her hometown.
I packed some away and sent them next door, where I got a large portion of edible, crispy, sour and spicy kimchi, along with half a jar of pickled peppers.
Then pick out the bad taro and soak the good ones in water for a while and let Zhao Fengnian wash them.
If she handles this, she will get a rash on her hands, but Zhao Fengnian won't.
After washing, they are cooked and dried directly, and then Zhao Fengnian prepares them into his favorite way of eating them, called moldy taro.
She and Zhao Fengnian were willing to take care of each other, but there were limits.
The idea in the dream that once married, one should put everything about the man above all else disappeared the moment one woke up on the day of the typhoon.
I guess if people knew about this, they would say she was not virtuous.
As a result, the taro had been in the water for more than half an hour, but the guide Zhao Fengnian had not returned yet, while other guests had arrived home first.
The visitor was Shi Qingqing's uncle, an old man with a dark complexion and a gloomy expression.
He was a dozen years older than Shi Ma, and he worked in the fields all year round. He had a hunched back, dark reddish skin, and the whites of his eyes showed when he looked at people. He always gave people a sinister feeling.
When he appeared, he simply announced himself with a cough.
"Uncle? Why are you here? Come, come in and sit down." Shi Qingqing led people into the courtyard. Uncle Shi came in without saying a word, put the backpack and the bag and basket in his hands in the yard, and had no intention of going into the room.
"Uncle, won't you come in? I'll make you a cup of tea."
Uncle Shi had a cold face. "If you don't have money to eat vegetables, come to my house to pick them. If your mother won't give you the vegetables from her few acres of land, then come to my house. Don't do anything that will bring shame to the Shi family."
He left without looking back after saying this.
Leaving behind Shi Qingqing with a confused look on her face.
What has she done to bring shame to the Shi family? Did mom go to complain to uncle again?
Shi Qingqing chased out of the yard, but her uncle walked briskly despite his hunched back. When they turned into the alley, they couldn't find anyone anymore.
There was a basket of vegetables in the yard, half of which was Chinese cabbage and half was carrots, and a plastic bag of about five pounds of apples.
There are probably about forty or fifty eggs in a basket.
A bag of peanuts and a dozen corns.
"Are all these for me? What does this have to do with whether there are vegetables to eat?" Shi Qingqing was wondering as she watched Sister Xu's child run past the door.
A flash of inspiration suddenly came into my mind.
Could it be???
Shi Qingqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Did someone say that I went to the vegetable market to pick up vegetable leaves? Although I expected that someone would discuss what happened yesterday, I didn't expect that they would say that."
Besides, my uncle does nothing but farming. He doesn't even have a close relationship with his family members and only cares about farming. Why would anyone send him a message? He is not her father and he has to take care of things even though he has started a family.
She will find someone who is her uncle in person...
Shi Qingqing remembered person number one.
Damn it.
Well, her mother's approach.
In previous years, she would go to her uncle to cry when her mother was short of food, but she didn't expect that this time the "trophy" she cried for would directly become Shi Qingqing's?
Shi Qingqing took note of this kindness.
She kept the vegetables that would last two days, and for the rest, she collected the vegetables with a short shelf life first and put the rest in storage boxes.
Another half an hour passed, it was already dark and Zhao Fengnian had not returned yet, so Shi Qingqing took the initiative to go look for him.
As a result, Zhao Fengnian was seen cleaning the door with a brush outside the rental house. The light was on in the house, but there was no light outside the door.
Shi Qingqing was furious. She walked over and slapped Zhao Fengnian on the back: "You have three seconds to follow me. If you don't, you will stay here all night!"
She shouldn't have given him a chance since he was such a good-for-nothing.
"No, no more counting, it's boring, just take your time cleaning here and I won't disturb you, "
The handkerchief in Zhao Fengnian's hand fell directly to the ground. He didn't even bother to pick it up and immediately promised: "Wife, I won't stay. I'm leaving now. Don't be angry. I'll explain to you--"
"I'm not obligated to listen to your explanation. Do whatever you want." Shi Qingqing didn't want to live the same life as in her previous life. Since Zhao Fengnian didn't seize the opportunity and insisted on going down the old path, she might as well protect herself and get out of this situation.
"Wife..."
Zhao Fengnian chased her all the way, but after returning home, Shi Qingqing did not do anything to vent her anger. She did not deliberately close the door or ignore him. Instead, she rationally told him about her plans for tomorrow.
But the more this happened, the more Zhao Fengnian became anxious. "Wife, you really have to listen to me this time. I stayed here to help with the cleaning because my sister is pregnant and my sister-in-law has to take care of the child. My younger sister is tired from the car ride and the child is so young, so I—"
