"What shouldn't I do? Am I wrong?"
Ruan Suhe heard him sigh, the sound was as mellow as wine, floating into her ears. She thought he disagreed with what she said, and his tone was full of sarcasm.
"Oh, you're right. What I meant was that you should have said it earlier so that I wouldn't have to waste my energy dealing with Aunt Zhang."
He smiled lightly, his voice was low, pleasant and extremely gentle.
"Let's go, don't you say you have a lot to buy?"
After he finished speaking, he didn't pause, turned around and walked in front, holding Tiedan's hand and leading the way.
Ruan Suhe was a little dazed for a moment and stood there without moving, because his voice was smiling, clean and clear, and a little hoarse as if it had been moistened by water vapor, which was a bit seductive.
"Mom, Dad has gone far away." Ruoruo reminded in her baby voice.
Only then did she come to her senses and followed Lu Zhengxiang with a red face.
...
...
Ruan Suhe shook her head as she rushed over: What the hell? How could I lose my mind so easily? Is it because I have been single since birth? No, no, no, now is not the time to think about these things. The top priority now is to make money and lose weight!
After she quickly cleared her mind, her steps became much lighter.
Fortunately, Lu Zhengxiang was thoughtful and took his tickets and money with him before going out. Otherwise, Ruan Suhe, with her impulsive mind, would not have bought such a wide range of items at the market today.
All kinds of practical items, such as bowls, chopsticks, kitchen utensils, various seasonings, vegetable seeds, chicks and ducks, were sold.
When the family of four returned home, everyone was carrying large and small bags. The two little ones, Tiedan and Ruoruo, were carrying lighter things such as seasonings and seeds.
"Hey, new neighbor, what's your name, comrade? What's your current position? Are you guys going to buy some goods?"
It seemed that this question was directed at Lu Zhengxiang. Lu Zhengxiang was opening the door with the key and had no time to respond to her. She felt bored and shifted her gaze to Ruan Suhe, looking her up and down, and said with experience.
"Aunt, your head of the household can't have such a high salary. Look, you have children. They're probably old enough to go to school, so you need to save some money for tuition. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, aunt, seriously, you can't be such a spendthrift~"
It was the young wife from next door who was wearing a floral dress. She was leaning against the door frame of her front door and talking. There was a sense of regret between the lines. I couldn't tell whether she was sincere in her advice or was just jealous.
When Ruan Suhe heard someone calling her aunt, she was really angry.
"Oh, sister next door, you don't know, we just moved here, and we need to buy a lot of things. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"But~ it's a bit cold today. You're wearing so little, sister. It seems you're not worried about getting sick at all. Unlike me, who has old arms and legs and can't resist the cold, I have to wear thicker clothes. I admire you so much, sister. You're amazing."
Even though she spoke with a pleasant face, the smile did not fully reach her eyes.
"I didn't realize it. Auntie is so strong, but she's afraid of the cold. I didn't notice it at all."
"Haha, I think all the good things in the house are eaten by you, auntie. Otherwise, why are the two children so thin? You should be nicer to the children. When you can't walk anymore, you will have to rely on the two children to support you."
Ruan Suhe didn't expect that the neighbor's young wife could have a conversation with him for a while, and it seemed that she was good at talking.
"Don't worry about it, sister. You'd better take care not to get sick."
"It's early spring now, and the temperature is fluctuating. You don't change three or four sets of clothes a day, do you? Does that mean you need to buy a lot of clothes? I guess you've used up all the cloth coupons at home, right? Or maybe the clothes in the closet need to be washed before they've even been worn for a day. You must be worried sick about washing clothes every day."
The most effective way to confront someone is not to make excuses, but to turn the topic back to the other person.
Ruan Suhe was not angry at the pain points pointed out by his young wife. Instead, he carefully found her weaknesses and pointed them out directly.
"You! You don't know how to appreciate a good person!"
The neighbor's young wife felt that she had touched a sore spot. She pouted, spoke angrily, and turned back to her own yard.
At this moment, Lu Zhengxiang also opened the door. After the family of four entered the house, they put everything they had in their hands in the right places.
Ruan Suhe put the things in her hands in order and thought about it over and over again. It didn't make sense. Why was there such a strong hostility towards her as soon as she arrived at the family compound?
My current figure is obviously not satisfactory, and I don't have the habit of provoking others, so why are so many people mocking and belittling me today?
"Which part of the yard do you plan to use to grow vegetables? I happen to be free now and can help you tidy it up."
Lu Zhengxiang came over with a rake and a shovel in his hands. His voice was cold and gentle, like clear stream water flowing into Ruan Suhe's contemplative mind.
"Oh, oh, the vegetable garden, right? Let me take a look. Well, it's probably here, there's just the right spot."
Ruan Suhe came back to his senses, looked around the yard, and pointed to an open space next to the kitchen.
After she determined the location, Lu Zhengxiang rolled up his sleeves and started turning the soil with a shovel.
The smooth skin on his arms glowed faintly in the sun; his arms were strong, with perfect muscle lines, and every turn was just right.
Ruan Suhe couldn't help but be stunned. Only then did she realize where the inexplicable hostility towards her came from. The culprit was him - Lu Zhengxiang.
Others are all troubled by beautiful women, but he is clearly troubled by handsome men. This is terrible, terrible. From now on, he will have countless enemies.
If there were any unmarried girls in the family compound who fell in love with Lu Zhengxiang, they would definitely point their spearheads at herself. Ruan Suhe felt overwhelmed when she thought of this.
However, faced with this situation, she could only deal with it as it came. Before that, the first thing she had to do was to make Ruoruo and Tiedan let down their guard against her.
The first trick she thought of was the first step: conquer the stomachs of one big and two small ones - as the name suggests, study the food first.
When we are busy, time often passes faster, and before long, the sun moves to the center of the sky.
Ruan Suhe looked at the various vegetables she bought at the market in the morning and wondered whether she should make three dishes and a soup for lunch.
Even though she didn't have much experience in cooking before the 21st century, she had studied many recipes and watched many cooking tutorials on certain platforms and red books.
Thinking of this, she picked out some dishes that she was most likely to cook and started washing and picking the vegetables.
“Knock, knock, knock. Are the new neighbors home? I heard you just moved in, so my wife asked me to bring you some food.”
A rough male voice shouted outside the courtyard gate.
