Holding the bowl of noodles in his hand, he blew on it, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Although it was just a simple clear soup noodle, I don’t know how this woman made it, but it tasted quite good, light and appetizing, and I finished it in no time.
After dinner, Zhou Jingchuan washed the dishes and then went into the house to talk to Zheng Wangshu about the child's problem.
After all, the two children were taken away by Liuzi yesterday and they have to be sent back soon. Everyone has their own things to do and it is impossible to take care of the children all the time.
But when I went in, I found that Zheng Wangshu had already fallen asleep and was snoring slightly. It seemed that he did not sleep well last night.
After thinking about it, he still didn't say anything. He closed the door quietly, walked out of the yard, got on his bike and left.
Aunt Wang just came out to empty the chamber pot. When she saw Zhou Jingchuan leaving, she couldn't help but make a teasing remark.
"Xiao Zhou, you just got married, why are you leaving so early? Is your new wife not to your liking?"
Zhou Jingchuan glanced at Aunt Wang, said nothing, and instead pushed his feet harder.
Aunt Wang is not a good person. Although they have been neighbors for many years, their relationship is very bad.
At the beginning, the relationship between the neighbors was good. Ever since Aunt Wang's daughter became a widow and returned to her parents' home, Aunt Wang has been trying to bring the two of them together.
What he meant was that they wanted Cuihua from their family to marry Zhou Jingchuan and help him take care of his two children.
But she didn't even look at what her own daughter looked like. In the early 1980s when there was a shortage of food and clothing, she ate like a big fat pig and weighed nearly 200 kilograms.
Even if Zhou Jingchuan needed a woman to take care of his children, he would not be so desperate as to do so, so he found a decent excuse to refuse.
As a result, Aunt Wang held a grudge against Zhou Jingchuan, thinking that he was taking care of two children before he got married, and it was lucky that someone was willing to marry him, but she was still picky.
Now that she sees her getting married to Zheng Wangshu, she naturally feels sad. Her daughter cried yesterday and felt insulted by Zhou Jingchuan, so she said those words in front of the two children.
Seeing Zhou Jingchuan ignoring her, Aunt Wang couldn't help but spit out a curse, "What are you pretending for!"
After emptying the chamber pot, she saw that the door of the Zhou family next door was not closed, so she groped her way into the yard. Although the curtains were drawn in the room, there was no door, so Aunt Wang lay down at the crack of the door and took a few glances.
When he found out that Zheng Wangshu was still sleeping at this time, he felt even more contempt for her. It seemed that Zhou Jingchuan had married a lazy woman.
Fortunately, she made little noise and did not wake Zheng Wangshu up, otherwise he would have fainted from fright when he looked up and saw a pointed and monkey-faced face pressed against the crack of the door.
Aunt Wang left the yard and started chatting with the neighbors around her.
"What do you think of the wife Xiao Zhou married? I think he'll regret it one day."
Aunt Wang put the chamber pot aside and started to pull my wife's tongue.
"She looks pretty, but isn't that Xiao Zhou's cousin's ex-wife? She's such a mess. How can he still play around with his wives?"
Aunt Wang smiled smugly. "I just saw Xiao Zhou riding away on his bike, so I went into their yard to take a look. I saw that woman was fast asleep. She probably didn't even know her husband was gone. This lazy woman can't even take care of her own husband, so how can she take care of two children?"
After hearing this, several aunts immediately nodded in agreement.
Aunt Wang was even more proud, "It's better to marry my Cuihua than this woman. She's really not as good as my wife."
However, no one agreed with this statement. Although Zheng Wangshu might not be diligent, Aunt Wang's daughter was even lazier and still liked to eat.
But since everyone has come to this point, it is natural to give her some face.
Just as he was talking excitedly, he saw Zheng Wangshu walk out the door, probably to the toilet.
The toilets here are built outside the rooms, so the smell will be less.
As soon as Zheng Wangshu went out, he heard them talking about him and couldn't help frowning.
As expected, no matter where you go, there will be gossip.
She went to the toilet to relieve herself, also with her eyes closed. She was really not used to using this dry toilet. She didn't even dare to look down for fear of feeling nauseous.
After coming out, I saw that the aunties were still there. They had smiles on their faces and greeted the host enthusiastically.
Originally, several people followed Aunt Wang in saying bad things about her, but now they responded enthusiastically.
Aunt Wang was so angry that her mouth was twisted, but she couldn't say anything.
Zheng Wangshu also knew that he had a bad reputation. As he had just arrived, he had to get along well with these people, otherwise he would have a hard time in the future.
As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. If an emergency really happens, we have to rely on our neighbors.
So when I got home, I grabbed a handful of fruit candies from the cupboard.
Aunt Wang was just complaining about how they were two-faced when she saw Zheng Wangshu come out again.
"Aunts, I'm new here too. Please take good care of me in the future. This is some leftover candy from our wedding. I'm giving it to you to share in the good fortune."
Then he distributed the fruit candies to a few aunties. Although these fruit candies didn't cost much, everyone was frugal these days and not many people were willing to spend money on these snacks.
They are soft-hearted and reluctant to take advantage of others. Since they have received benefits from Zheng Wangshu, they naturally have to say a few nice words about him.
Aunt Wang looked at the candy in her hand and frowned when she heard their compliments.
Gritting his teeth, he stuffed the candy in his hand into Zheng Wangshu's arms and said coldly, "You only have a few of these. Are you going to give them to beggars? We don't need your candy."
After saying that, she just walked away with her butt twisted.
Zheng Wangshu didn't know who this person was, but when he saw her enter the yard next door, he had some guesses in his mind.
The aunties nearby were a little embarrassed.
"What? Did I offend that lady just now? Why don't I remember anything?"
Zheng Wangshu didn't get angry, but scratched his head in confusion.
Seeing this, the aunts felt a little guilty, after all, they had just gossiped about others.
"Hey, Xiao Zheng, don't worry about it. Aunt Wang just has a weird temper. You don't have to pay attention to her."
Seeing that no one was willing to speak, Zheng Wangshu decided to come back and ask Zhou Jingchuan. After saying a few more words, he went back to the house.
After returning home, I lay down on the bed, thinking about taking another nap.
Thinking this in my mind, I fell asleep again in a short while. It seems that the original owner's body was indeed weak and had been drained by the Zhou family before.
I just had a wedding yesterday but I still feel tired.
Zheng Wangshu didn't expect that his mother-in-law would arrive at the battlefield an hour later, and she changed several sleeping positions.
When Li Ruhui arrived at the door, she was still a little hesitant, but she gritted her teeth and went into the yard.
I raised my hand and pushed open the door, and saw this scene in front of me.
The woman on the bed was sleeping soundly and was almost drooling.
It's already past nine o'clock, the sun is high in the sky and the sun is shining on our buttocks, but Zheng Wangshu is still sleeping?
