Chapter 88: Man Pities His Second Wife



Wen Tang not only wasted the lard, but also added fine salt to it.

Zhong Meixian: Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. If you get angry and ruin your health, no one can replace you.

At least there are still some oil residues to eat.

The most important thing is that you don’t spend your own money.

Zhong Meixian had to constantly prepare herself mentally so that she could restrain herself from going out and talking or cursing.

It’s a waste, it’s really a waste.

Waste it or not, Wen Tang and Chi Yue also stirred the pot of lard.

Maybe he was tired from mixing it all, so Wen Tang ate three big buns again in the evening.

When Gu Jinfeng went to deliver buns to Gu Jin, it was just getting dark and Gu Jin had just added water to the pot, preparing to stir-fry some dough balls to eat.

Although Xu Huaishan said that she didn't need to cook today and he would bring it to her later, Gu Jin didn't want to eat.

It seems like she is such a weak-willed person.

As soon as she heated the water, Gu Jinfeng called out in the yard, "Aunt, Aunt..."

When Gu Jinying came out, Gu Jinfeng was already at her door.

"Aunt, have you cooked?"

"I just added water, why are you here?" Gu Jin asked as he pulled the person into the house.

It's very cold outside at night.

Gu Jinfeng picked up the basket in her hand and said, "I'm here to bring you some buns!"

"Yesterday, Yan Li's wife asked you to go eat buns today. Since you didn't go, she asked me to bring you some."

As Gu Jinfeng spoke, she lifted the cloth on the basket. Inside the basket sat a large bowl with six large steamed buns piled in it.

"Aunt, if you haven't cooked yet, don't cook. Just eat these buns."

Gu Jin took his own bowl, took the buns, and then scolded, "That child is quite thoughtful. You can just eat the buns from this bag. Why are you sending them to me?"

"Well, it's not something precious," Gu Jinfeng said as she walked out. "I'll go back first."

Gu Jin nodded, "Okay, it's cold outside, so you should go back and eat quickly. I won't keep you here."

The two of them went out of the house together and happened to meet Xu Huaishan at the door who was delivering chicken noodle dumplings.

Xu Huaishan shredded the leftover chicken from yesterday and made two bowls of noodle dumplings. He brought the bowl with more meat to Gu Jin.

Seeing Gu Jinfeng, Xu Huaishan said, "Jinfeng is here, stay here for dinner tonight!"

Gu Jinfeng waved her hand and said, "No, uncle, I made some buns at home. I'll send some to you... and you too to try."

"It's getting late. I'll leave first." Gu Jinfeng said without stopping. She slung the basket over her arm, put her hands into her sleeves, hunched her neck and walked quickly towards home.

At the Xu family, Gu Jinfeng left. Xu Huaishan walked towards Gu Jin's room carrying the noodles and said, "These noodles are for you."

He brought a bowl of noodle dumplings, and Gu Jin gave him two steamed buns in return.

Xu Huaishan also happily accepted it.

Gu Jinfeng told Zhong Meixian about this when she got home.

Wen Tang and Chi Yue were sitting nearby, listening attentively.

Gu Jinfeng couldn't help but said, "My uncle is more caring now than before."

Wen Tang ate the steaming buns with a "sha ha" sound and said, "Now that my aunt has broken up with him, he knows what's good for him."

"After all, no one helps him cook. He can't let himself starve to death."

"It's already done. If I try to please my aunt, maybe I can win her heart and then someone will help him cook."

"Besides, men pity their second wives."

"The previous one always said he couldn't care for others and couldn't do the work. If he were replaced, he might be better than anyone else."

"So, we women should still be more considerate of ourselves."

After Wen Tang finished speaking, he clinked the bun in his hand with the one in Chi Yue's hand.

The soap sat in the mold. Wen Tang and Chi Yue looked at it eight or ten times a day, and even ate fewer melon seeds.

Zhong Meixian thought, this is also a good thing.

Lard is bought with money, and so are melon seeds.

Eating less melon seeds can also be considered saving money.

During the days of watching soap operas, the twelfth month of the lunar calendar arrived.

When the twelfth lunar month arrived, the weather became even colder, and Wen Tang was no longer interested in looking at soap.

Chi Yue and she stayed next to Zhong Meixian all day, and the few of them sat by the brazier and warmed themselves by the fire.

Wen Tang and Chi Yue did not sit alone, but would occasionally put a sweet potato or a handful of peanuts into the fire.

At this cold moment, the team leader Xu Zhongguo came to inform everyone that the educated youth at the educated youth point would be performing a show in the brigade's threshing ground. Anyone who wanted to watch could go there on their own, but remember to bring a stool.

Gu Jinfeng immediately wiped the black dust from the corners of her mouth from eating roasted peanuts, stood up and asked, "When?"

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay, we'll definitely go then."

After Gu Jinfeng sat down again, Wen Tang grabbed another handful of peanuts for her and asked her, "Sister, do they look good?"

Gu Jinfeng nodded. "It looks good."

"Those educated youth were all city kids, and many of them had skills."

"Especially that mouth..."

"Melodica," Wen Tang reminded.

Gu Jinfeng nodded. "Yes, yes, the harmonica. Many children can play tunes on it. It sounds nice."

"Some of the girl dolls can dance, and some of the boy dolls can dance too."

"Then Yueyue and I will go tomorrow too."

Gu Jinfeng smiled and nodded. "Let's go, let's all go. We have nothing to do at home anyway."

The next day at noon, the Gu family prepared dinner early. After dinner, everyone took their small stools and went to the threshing ground.

There were already quite a few people sitting in the threshing ground, all from the same team, and they had already started talking.

Someone saw Gu Jinfeng and Zhong Meixian and waved to them.

Wen Tang and Chi Yue also walked over.
