Chapter 88: Man Pities His Second Wife
Wen Tang not only wasted the lard, but also added fine salt into 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 hold back 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 too tired to mix it all, so Wen Tang ate three big buns again in the evening.
When Gu Jinfeng went to bring 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 dumplings.
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's as if 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 had already arrived at her door.
"Aunt, have you cooked?"
"I just added water, why are you here?" Gu Jin asked as he pulled someone 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 give 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 was talking, she lifted the cloth on the basket. In the basket sat a large bowl with six large steamed buns piled in it.
"Aunt, if you haven't cooked, don't cook. Just eat these buns."
Gu Jin took his own bowl, took the buns, and then scolded, "That child is quite attentive. 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, 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 who was delivering chicken noodle dumplings at the door.
Xu Huaishan shredded the leftover chicken from yesterday and made two bowls of noodle dumplings. He then 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 can try them."
"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, shrank her neck, and walked quickly home.
At Xu's house, Gu Jinfeng left, and Xu Huaishan walked towards Gu Jin's room with the noodles in his hand, "Here are the noodles 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 back.
Wen Tang and Chi Yue were sitting nearby, listening with their ears pricked up.
Gu Jinfeng couldn't help but said, "My uncle is more caring now than before."
Wen Tang ate the hot buns with a chuckle 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, and he can't let himself starve to death."
"He has already done it. He can try to please his aunt by showing off his good looks. Maybe he can win her heart back and then someone will cook for him."
"Besides, men pity their second wives."
"The previous one always said that he couldn't care for others and couldn't work. If he were replaced by someone else, he might be better at working than anyone else."
"So, we women should still take care of ourselves more."
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 opera, it was the twelfth month of the lunar calendar.
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 next to the brazier and warmed themselves by the fire.
Wen Tang and Chi Yue did not sit alone. From time to time, they would 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 perform a show in the team's threshing ground. Anyone who wanted to watch could go there by themselves, 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 a handful of peanuts for her and asked her, "Sister, do they look good?"
Gu Jinfeng nodded, "It looks good."
"Those educated youth were all from the city, and many of them had skills."
"Especially that mouth..."
"Melodica," Wen Tang reminded.
Gu Jinfeng nodded. "Yes, yes, the harmonica. Many children can play minor tunes with 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."
At noon the next day, the Gu family prepared breakfast early. After the meal, 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.
The one who greeted Gu Jinfeng was Lin's fourth wife, the wife of Lin Liansheng's cousin. She was the fourth wife in Chapter 5, in which Lin Jiaojiao said, "Fourth wife said that fourth brother married a sister-in-law, who can take care of everything at home and outside."
As soon as Lin Si Niang saw them, she moved a stool and asked them to sit next to her.
After that, his eyes wandered to Wen Tang and Chi Yue.
She didn't ask Wen Tang, but stared at Chi Yue and asked Gu Jinfeng, "Is it?"
Her eyelids were blinking rapidly, which made the simple-minded Gu Jinfeng dumbfounded.
"What's up?"
Lin Si Niang raised her hand and patted Gu Jinfeng on the arm, then smiled and glared at her, "What else can you be pregnant with?" She rubbed her belly, "This!"
Gu Jinfeng looked at Chi Yue, then at her actions, and understood.
She pursed her lips and said, "We just got married!"
Lin Si Niang even scolded, "You can't say that. Xiao Hui came to our house at the beginning of the year. Wasn't she there when she got home?"
"Look, how big the kids are now."
When talking about her daughter-in-law, Gu Jinfeng asked, "Why don't you see Xiaohui?"
Lin Si Niang waved her hand and asked, "Why let her come?"
"She's taking care of the baby!"
Chi Yue sat down and asked, "Does Si Niang dislike Si Sister-in-law?"
Lin Si Niang: "..."
"You kid, you're talking nonsense," the smile on her face seemed to be a little faltering.
Chi Yue smiled, "No, I just thought maybe he didn't like it. If he did, why didn't he bring someone out with him?"
She hugged Gu Jinfeng's arm and said, "Look, my mother brought it out for me."
