Chapter 28
"Then how did you two know each other?" Ye Fuyue asked curiously.
When this was mentioned, Yu Tong showed a sweet smile of a little woman on her face.
"He always came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, so I noticed him. But at that time, I only exchanged a few words with him while he was shopping. One time, after get off work, it started to rain, and I didn't have an umbrella with me. He happened to be on his way home from the supply and marketing cooperative after buying things. He had an umbrella, so he gave me a ride. Later, he came to the supply and marketing cooperative again, and I returned the umbrella to him. That's how we became familiar with each other."
"It's just like a plot in a novel." Ye Fuyue summed it up.
"I think so too." Yu Tong's smile became even sweeter.
She suddenly thought of something and said, "However, Shucong and I haven't told our family yet, and you shouldn't tell my cousins either. We want to wait until we've been together for a while before telling our families. Otherwise, if they find out, they'll start urging us to get married, and I don't want to get married so soon."
Ye Fuyue understood Yu Tong's feelings.
At this age, every girl has a fantasy of a beautiful love. But Yu Tong is not after a blind date and then an immediate marriage.
"Don't worry, if you ask me not to tell you, I won't tell you." Ye Fuyue promised.
Ye Fuyue didn't stay long, she went back to cook. Moreover, she saw Yang Shucong looking at them from time to time, obviously waiting for her to leave so that he could come to find Yu Tong.
Ye Fuyue tactfully said goodbye to Yu Tong and went back.
As soon as Ye Fuyue left, Yang Shucong came over.
"Who is she?" Yang Shucong asked.
"My cousin's wife."
"Did you tell her about us?"
Yu Tong nodded: "However, I told my cousin's wife not to tell the family for the time being. I said we want to meet more often. My cousin's wife is a righteous and sensible person. She will definitely do what she promised me."
Yang Shucong nodded, and did not continue the topic. He said, "Let's have lunch together at noon."
"Okay!" Yu Tong said in a happy voice.
…
When Ye Fuyue returned to the compound with a basket of vegetables, she ran into Aunt Xie's daughter Yao Yi.
Ye Fuyue smiled at her kindly and was about to say hello to her, but Yao Yi rolled her eyes, snorted coldly, and quickened her pace back home.
Ye Fuyue was puzzled.
But since the other party gave her the cold shoulder, she wouldn't have to take the initiative to say hello the next time she met him. She was happy to be free.
When Yao Yi returned home, she said to Aunt Xie, "Mom, I just ran into Ye Fuyue at the door. She was carrying a vegetable basket. Doesn't she have a job?"
"How could she have a job?" Aunt Xie replied while busy in the kitchen, "I heard that she just didn't want to go to the countryside, and her previous partner was snatched away by Ye Fuyun, so she was in a hurry to marry Shen Yao."
"Oh," Yao Yi sneered, "When Chen Yao rejected me, I thought he had very high standards. But this? He doesn't even have a proper job. All he does all day is dress like a vixen. How could Chen Yao even be interested in a woman like this?"
"Men like women who are a little more charming. You are just too decent and honest." Aunt Xie said.
"Fortunately, Chen Yao rejected me at the beginning. If I had known that Chen Yao had such vision, I would never look down on him!" Yao Yi said proudly.
Sister-in-law Zhong Lan, who was helping Aunt Xie in the kitchen, heard this and said, "I think Shen Yao's wife is a good person! Every time she meets me, she greets me with a smile. She is very kind."
Yao Yi sarcastically said, "Just because I greet you with a smile, you think I'm good? You have such low standards as a human being!"
Zhong Lan stopped talking.
She doesn't have a job, so her say in the family is lower than that of her sister-in-law.
"I just met her. She was wearing a skirt, which made her waist look very thin, like a vixen." Yao Yi said contemptuously.
Zhong Lan glanced at her sister-in-law who was also wearing a skirt, but her waist looked very thick, and remained silent.
"With her devilish energy, no matter how much money Shen Yao has, she will squander it all." Aunt Xie said.
Yao Yi nodded in agreement: "By the way, Mom, I have something to tell you and Dad. I'm dating someone."
"Really?!" Aunt Xie was so happy that she forgot to continue chopping vegetables. "When did you start dating? What does he do for a living?"
"He and I are both school teachers, but we are not in the same school. He and I have only recently started dating."
"Great! That's great! Hello, teacher. You two are both teachers, so we can chat a lot." Aunt Xie said, "How is his family background?"
"It's okay." Yao Yi didn't want to say too much: "When we get to know each other better, I'll bring him back for you to see, and then you'll know."
"Okay, okay, good." Aunt Xie said repeatedly, smiling so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.
As it got closer to noon, more and more people came back to the compound.
As soon as everyone entered the compound, they smelled a very fragrant smell.
"Whose family is making pork rib soup? It smells so good."
"Yeah, I'm almost dizzy with the aroma. We haven't eaten meat in a long time. The smell of this is making me so hungry."
Chen Shun and Wu Aixia entered the compound one after another.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they smelled the fragrance. They both moved their noses and sniffed hard.
"Which family is cooking pork rib soup?" Shen Shun asked enviously.
"It seems like the smell is coming from inside." Wu Aixia pointed inside the slum.
Shen Shun and Wu Aixia's eyes lit up at the same time.
Isn't their house inside? Could it be... could it be...
Both of them hoped that it was their home, but also suspected that it might not be their home, so they ran towards their home at the same time.
Running to the doorstep, the two solved the case.
"Wow! My family is cooking pork rib soup! There's meat to eat!" Shen Shun jumped three feet high with joy.
Chen Guifeng has returned, and seeing Shen Shun so happy, she is also in a good mood.
"Your sister-in-law made some pork rib soup. Go wash your hands first, then eat."
Hearing that it was Ye Fuyue who did it, Shen Shun felt a little complicated, but he still went to wash his hands honestly.
After Wu Aixia confirmed that it was not her family that was making pork rib soup, she walked into the house with a gloomy face.
Ye Fuyun has already prepared the dishes. It is just vegetables, without any oil or water.
Smelling the aroma of pork rib soup wafting in from outside the yard and looking at the vegetables on her own table, Wu Aixia lost all her appetite.
"Why is there not even a bit of meat?" Wu Aixia said unhappily.
"It's free to buy meat, where would I get the money?" Zhou Jinmei said.
Since Zhou Jinmei gave up her job to Wu Longfei, her family's monthly income has dropped by more than ten yuan, and life has naturally become much tighter than before. Before, they could eat meat once or twice a week. Now, they may not be able to eat meat for half a month.
