Chapter 31: Stir-frying radishes takes a lot of oil
Then he picked up a chicken wing for Gu Yanli.
Gu Yanli: "..."
So his wife is more important to her than his nephew?
Gu Yanli was filled with resentment, and Wen Tang soon noticed his resentful expression.
Wen Tang carefully asked, "Don't you like chicken wings?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her chopsticks, as if if Gu Yanli nodded, she would immediately pick up the chicken wings.
Wen Tang was indeed planning to do so.
But Gu Yanli would never allow it.
So the chicken leg doesn’t belong to him, so even the chicken wing that his wife picked up doesn’t belong to him?
Gu Yanli looked directly into Wen Tang's eyes, picked up a chicken wing, put it in his mouth and took a big bite, using his actions to tell Wen Tang how much he loved it.
Wen Tang laughed and said, "As long as you like it, I thought you didn't like it!"
After she finished speaking, she picked up some meat for the other people at the table.
After dinner, when Gu Juyuan and the others hadn't left the field yet, Zhong Meixian couldn't help but ask her old man, "Look at what's burning in the kitchen."
Gu Juyuan lit his pipe and said, "Didn't you burn some firewood?"
"Can you really burn down the kitchen?"
"The kitchen is on fire, you're going to have shit for lunch!"
Listening to his wife's uncivilized words, Gu Juyuan frowned, turned away and said nothing.
Zhong Meixian didn't care whether he said anything or not, and continued to complain, "She asked me to cook and burn the kitchen. She can't rely on me, her mother-in-law, to cook for her from now on, right?"
Gu Juyuan said, "If you really don't want to burn it, you can just separate the family. It's not good to quarrel with the newly married woman. It will make people laugh at you if others tell them about it, right?"
"And I think he's pretty good, he can talk, he's a good kid, and he's kind."
Gu Juyuan was watching. Whenever the family had something delicious to eat these days, Wen Tang always thought of everyone.
As for burning down the kitchen while cooking, Gu Juyuan tapped his pipe and said, "Maybe they really didn't mean to do it."
Gu Juyuan's words about dividing the family had already shut up Zhong Meixian, as she was unwilling to do so.
She only has Gu Yanli as her son. Wouldn't it be a joke if she split up the family business?
Of course, quarreling and fighting would also be laughable.
How could there be quarrels and fights just a few days after a new daughter-in-law came into the house?
To be unreasonable is not a situation that can be achieved by any unreasonable person.
Besides...besides, at her age, how can she beat a young man?
Now she can no longer count on her daughter to help her, as her daughter's family is also facing its own problems.
Thinking about this, the old lady felt aggrieved unconsciously, "I just said a few words, but you are talking like a string of cannonballs. You've talked too much today!"
After she said this, Gu Juyuan stopped talking again.
After finishing a pack of cigarettes, Gu Juyuan went to the field again carrying a shovel.
Wen Tang and Chi Yue, who had been sitting at home for the whole morning, waited until everyone went to the fields, said goodbye to Gu Yanli and Zhong Meixian, and then they also wanted to go out.
Simply sitting and talking was too boring for Wen Tang and Chi Yue.
Supplies are limited in this era, but you can still buy some melon seeds to eat.
Eating melon seeds and chatting about gossip is more soulful.
But when Zhong Meixian asked, "Where are you two going?"
Wen Tang replied, "I want to see if I can dig up some wild vegetables."
She went straight to the melon seeds. She thought her mother-in-law would definitely say that she was greedy, but she couldn't tell her that she went to pick wild vegetables, right?
As for what will be in my hands when I come back, it’s hard to say.
Wen Tang: Woohoo, I’m such a poor thing, I’ve fallen into the love-brain state, otherwise who would be the kind person to dig wild vegetables for me?
When Zhong Meixian heard that her daughter-in-law was going to pick wild vegetables, she immediately felt ashamed. She had just been complaining about her daughter-in-law, but now she was thinking about picking wild vegetables.
Thinking about it, Zhong Meixian said, "Tang, there's no need to dig. We still have a lot of cabbage in our private plot, and the radishes we buried have grown a lot too. They should be quite big. I'll dig them out and fry them for you tonight!"
Wen Tang said, "Mom, stir-frying radish takes so much oil!"
"Besides, you can dry the radishes and put them in a jar so that you can eat them at least until the wheat harvest. It would be a waste to pull them out and eat them now."
Zhong Meixian thought the same way. Even if she pulled them out, she would only pull out one at most, and that was just for this one meal. If Wen Tang wanted to eat more, it was just because he was greedy.
Now that Wen Tang had said it himself, Zhong Meixian did not insist any more. "Then if you two can't dig it up, come back early. It gets dark early."
Wen Tang nodded obediently, "I know, Mom."
Chi Yue also said, "I know, grandma."
Then Zhong Meixian stuffed baskets and shovels into the two men's hands.
Wen Tang: "..."
Chi Yue "..."
Okay, now we really have to dig wild vegetables.
And as the two of them walked out, Gu Yanli followed behind them.
Gu Yanli had a hunch that these two people were not going to pick wild vegetables.
Digging wild vegetables?
Just look at the way her daughter-in-law's eyes roll around. If you dump the wild vegetables in front of her, she'd know it's good enough to pick them up and take them home.
Instead of picking wild vegetables, the two of them went out together... Gu Yanli thought about it and decided to follow them!
Wen Tang and Chi Yue walked for some distance with the baskets. Chi Yue nudged Wen Tang, and Wen Tang noticed that Gu Yanli had also followed him out.
Wen Tang stopped and asked with a smile, "Where are you going?"
Gu Yanli raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled, "Just walk around!"
He said he was just taking a casual walk, but he wouldn't move unless Wen Tang and Chi Yue left.
Whenever Wen Tang and Chi Yue moved, he would move as well.
Wen Tang waved to him and motioned him to come over.
Gu Yanli thought about it, then walked over and stood next to Wen Tang.
Wen Tang glanced at him with a smile, "If you want to follow me, just follow me openly!"
These words made Gu Yanli turn his face away, then he pursed his lips and coughed twice.
Wen Tang also told him the truth, "We are not going to pick wild vegetables. We just want to buy some melon seeds to eat so that we don't get bored while sitting there chatting."
"As for eating and such," she patted Gu Yanli's arm, "you are my man, I trust you."
After hearing this, the expressionless man straightened his back even more and said "hmm" in a very shameless manner.
Then he said, "Guazi, it's faster for me to get there on my bike."
Wen Tang waved his hand, "No, no, Yueyue and I have nothing to do at home anyway, so we can walk and chat while exercising."
As she spoke, she waved her hand again, indicating that Gu Yanli could return to his original position.
Xiang Xiang added, "You can also go home. Yue Yue and I won't run away."
Wen Tang: Humph, man.
Gu Yanli coughed tactically again, and then told Wen Tang, "I'm fine too."
After he said that, Wen Tang didn't insist on chasing him away and just let him follow him not too far away.
The three of them walked together to the commune's supply and marketing cooperative. As they walked, they heard a female voice calling "Comrade Gu."
Wen Tang and Chi Yue looked up and saw Luo Tian holding a girl's hand, standing in front of a black car with a middle-aged couple and a young man.
Luo Tian was waving to Gu Yanli with a beautiful smile.
And he told the people beside him, "Sister, mother, let me tell you, it's all thanks to Comrade Gu. If it weren't for him, even if you came today, you wouldn't be able to see my people."
