Chapter 202: Resentment
"Two are too few."
Wen Shi took the bowl and chopsticks and gave him a little bit of each dish. Lin Qiuping quickly refused, "That's enough, you guys should eat too."
Yi Chichi smiled and said, "Next time, sister-in-law makes something delicious, just send some to me."
"Yes, my wife doesn't cook, so if there's anything delicious, remember to order it."
After hearing this, Lin Qiuping couldn't refuse anymore. He smiled and nodded, "Then it's settled."
Then he left with the bowl.
Ten minutes later, Ji Jian came over with the bowl. Before Yi Chichi could greet her, she said, "Xiao Yi, come to my house for dinner tomorrow."
Yi Chichi,...this speed is too fast.
"No, let Lao Wen do it tomorrow."
She smiled and declined Ji Jian's kindness. In an era when everything was rationed, it was really embarrassing to go to someone's house for dinner.
It's easy to eat up people's food rations, so this can't be done.
"Next time, I'll go next time I come over."
“Why next time?”
Ji Jian was not very satisfied with this answer. Yi Chichi glanced at the kitchen, then waved at her. After she leaned over to listen, he smiled and said, "I have to teach Lao Wen to be a man who can handle both the living room and the kitchen before I go back."
"…He is willing?"
"willing."
Ji Jian became interested, "How do you teach? I also want to teach my old Lin."
Yi Chichi didn't dare to make any rash suggestions.
I can only tell her, "Watch Wenshi's performance tomorrow, and then ask your Lao Lin to do the same as Wenshi. With someone leading the way, he shouldn't have too strong a rebellious mentality."
Indeed, no, but it is miserable.
Not only Lin Qiuping had no way to express his grievances, but Lao Qi and the others were not much better off.
There are no secrets in the family quarters. Since Wen Shi started learning to cook, he has transformed into a hardworking snail girl.
Before, he was the one who washed Yi Chichi's clothes, but he did it in the backyard behind her back.
Now I don’t wash behind people’s back anymore, I wash openly in the front yard.
Then, it was seen by the neighbors.
When they saw him tidying the vegetable garden, sweeping the house with a broom, and brushing Yi Chichi's shoes, the housewives of each family couldn't sit still.
They all demand the same standards from their own men.
It’s not that no one said no.
But there's no use refusing.
The wife would be unhappy, but she would not make a big fuss, just shed tears silently, muttering things like she married the wrong man, why other men know how to care for their wives, etc.
That pitiful look is so heartbreaking that anyone who sees it will cry.
Who can bear this?
Anyway, Lin Qiuping and the others can’t hold it anymore, what can they do?
Just do it.
But the resentment continued to accumulate, but not towards his own wife, but towards Wen Shi.
Then, Wen Shi was complained about.
That day, they went home together after get off work. On the way, Qi Zhiyuan sighed, "Old Wen, can you behave like a human being?"
Wen Shi was holding a fish in his hand, wondering whether to make steamed fish or braised fish for his wife.
Hearing this unexpectedly, he was stunned for a moment, "Why am I not a human being?"
He has always been a good person.
Be loyal to the motherland, respect your leaders, care for your fellow soldiers, and be friendly to your colleagues.
Being filial to his mother is not a matter of principle to his wife. If his wife says go east, he will never go west.
He straightened his chest and said proudly, "I'm a good man."
"It's good."
The leader of the first group, Nie Changfeng, sneered, "It's just too good. We can't even go home and relax."
When he heard this, he immediately understood why this happened and was immediately happy.
"You still have the nerve to say that."
He sneered, "You know you want to relax when you get home, but don't your sister-in-law and the others want to relax?"
“…That’s definitely what I thought.”
"That's it. You probably don't even spend three months at home in the whole year. Even if you work every day in these three months, so what? My sister-in-law and the others work all year round. Don't be ungrateful for what you have."
This silenced everyone.
Does that make sense?
But it makes so damn sense.
They are worthy of the country and the organization, but they are not worthy of their parents, wives and children.
The time spent away from home is longer than at home, and the time spent with comrades is also longer than with parents, wives and children.
Their only contribution to the family is their monthly salary.
But their wives didn't eat for free either. Before joining the army, they worked on the farm at home, took care of their parents and raised children.
After joining the army, I was busy with work, making a living both at home and outside.
In terms of hard work, I'm not much worse than them.
"You are indeed a good man."
Patting his shoulder, Nie Changfeng sighed, "We are older than you, but we are not as considerate of other people's hard work as you are."
Wen Shi snorted, "It's not that you can't compare to me, it's because you are the vested interests that you choose to be the blind one."
Don't joke, the people in their team come from all over the world, and those who have reached their current positions have all worked hard in the ocean of blood.
I've been on the verge of life and death so many times, it's nonsense to say I don't understand this.
It's nothing more than turning a blind eye and deliberately ignoring it.
These words were quite sharp. Anyway, Nie Changfeng and the others blushed and felt a little embarrassed after hearing what he said.
"We are colleagues after all, can you please give us some face?"
"It doesn't matter whether I save your face or not. What matters is that if you don't behave yourself, my sister-in-law and the others will really quit their jobs."
He reminded softly, "You have to know that the most frightening thing in life is comparison. Before I was not around, you could do whatever you wanted. Now that I am doing well, you are immediately exposed. It is easy to feel unbalanced. Do you understand?"
I understand so well.
So it was their fault that they heard the news.
How could I have such a guy as my neighbor? It's so annoying.
But now that things have come to this, they can only perform well.
After all, a backyard fire is never fun.
"Okay, we'll behave well when we get back."
Everyone swore solemnly and nodded in satisfaction when they heard it, "That's right, a harmonious family brings prosperity, listen to your wife and live a good life."
These are all true words.
Everyone...don't want to talk anymore.
So, everyone went back to their own homes.
Wen Shi, who consciously educated his brothers, walked into the room with his head held high. Yi Chichi was immersed in his work and did not hear any movement.
He walked lightly to her side, leaned over to take a look at the embroidery frame, and found that the entire plum blossom that was half hidden and half visible under the ice and snow had been embroidered. It was so lifelike that he seemed to be able to smell the plum blossom's fragrance.
The details are handled really well. I don’t know how she embroidered the ice and snow covering the plum branches and plum blossoms, they look so real.
Now I am embroidering a bird.
As the fingers fly, silk threads as thin as hair shuttle across the silk cloth, and every stitch is painted.
Seeing that she was embroidering seriously, he didn't think of waking her up, but took the fish to the kitchen, washed rice, prepared vegetables, lit the stove and started cooking.
It rained last night, and the firewood was a little damp. A faint smoke drifted into the front hall.
Yi Chichi came back to his senses from his work when he smelled the smell of smoke. He put down his needle and thread, packed up his things and put them back in the bedroom, then pinched his neck and went to the kitchen.
