Chapter 531 Sister-in-law
Oh my goodness, this is Brother Mu’s wife from the mountains???
Zhao Yeqing's skin has become whiter in recent years. In the summer, Mu Xi would do all the work during the day. Even when she went out, she would wear a small cardigan for sun protection.
I turned on the air conditioner when I got indoors. It was only the beginning of summer, and after a winter and a spring of being wrapped up tightly, my skin was as white and tender as it was before the ground cracked.
Mu Xi didn't know that the image that everyone in the team had of Zhao Yeqing in their minds was that she had lived in the mountains and worked on the crops for several years, her skin was tanned, and when she smiled she showed a mouthful of relatively white teeth, and she looked like a simple rural woman.
Zhao Yeqing has a pretty appearance. She gives people a sense of alienation when she doesn't smile. She is not short in height, and she is wearing a fitted cream-white dress with the hem reaching up to the ankles, which makes her look taller.
Perhaps it was because the gap between what they had expected was too big, and they felt a sense of distance all of a sudden.
Xiao Zheng and Xiao Zhou suddenly felt very awkward and didn't know how to greet each other.
Zhao Yeqing also cared about his image. When he saw the camouflage uniforms on the two men, he roughly guessed something and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had washed his hair and taken a shower.
He didn't react just now, but after he came to his senses, a smile appeared on Zhao Yeqing's face. The coldness disappeared with this smile, and two dimples appeared on his face. His freshly washed black hair was still slightly damp and hung softly on his chest.
Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zheng were both numb, and the look they showed towards Mu Xi was filled with unprecedented resentment.
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻! How come all the good things happen to this kid!
No wonder they said before that the two aunties in the cafeteria wanted to introduce a date to their daughter. They also said that the two girls were pretty, but Mu Xi was not moved at all.
They had jokingly asked before whether their sister-in-law was very beautiful. At that time, Mu Xi said with certainty that she was beautiful, but they didn’t take it seriously!
I have to take a group photo before going back this time, so that those rough guys in the team can feel jealous together.
Before Zhao Yeqing came over, Mu Xi quickly stepped forward and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Waiting for you..." Zhao Yeqing tilted his head and looked behind him: "Would you like to introduce yourself?"
Feng Lixuan had already smelled the aroma of the food. Before leaving, he deliberately did not eat at home, just to come to his aunt's house to have a bite of delicious food. He answered first:
"This is Xiao Zhou, this is Xiao Zheng, they are brothers that Brother Mu borrowed from the team to help. I heard they were in the same team last time."
Zhao Yeqing smiled and greeted: "Hello."
Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zheng only came to their senses now: "Hello, sister-in-law!"
"Fortunately, I had the foresight to make extra dishes tonight. You can just wash your hands and eat."
Zhao Yeqing was worried that if Mu Xiwan brought Feng Lixuan back with two helpers, there wouldn't be enough food, so he cooked a big pot, thinking that if he didn't bring people back, the food he couldn't finish would be saved for fried rice tomorrow.
A whole native chicken is cut into pieces, marinated and then stir-fried with oil until dry and fragrant, then added with bean curd, garlic sprouts and chili peppers, and finally sprinkled with a handful of Sichuan peppercorns to make a small pot of spicy dry pot chicken.
Some side dishes such as tofu skin and dried bamboo shoots are also added.
Several people came over and drooled just by looking at the color.
Feng Lixuan sat down without any hesitation: "I knew that my decision not to eat at home was the right one!"
In addition to dry pot chicken, there are also cold dishes, such as smashed cucumber and cold-mixed preserved eggs, which are must-haves in summer.
A pot of iced passion fruit honey water.
Zhao Yeqing wanted to serve everyone food, but was stopped by Mu Xi, "You've been busy all day, let me do it."
Zhao Yeqing did not refuse and sat down at the dining table to chat with Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zheng. By the time Mu Xi brought the meal over, the two were no longer awkward at all and were telling Zhao Yeqing about interesting things in the team with beaming eyes and gesticulating excitedly.
After the meal started, there was no movement at the table. The chopsticks were moving very quickly and everyone was just focusing on eating.
After the meal, all the dishes and rice were eaten up cleanly. The dishwashing was given to the eldest nephew, and they returned to the brick house to chat.
Zhao Yeqing smiled and said, "Fortunately, I cooked more today, otherwise you wouldn't have enough to eat tonight."
Xiao Zhou: "Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are amazing! In fact, we don't usually eat so much. Just look at our size and you will know. We can't compare with Brother Mu."
Xiao Zheng immediately joined in the conversation: "Yes, yes, yes, it's mainly because my sister-in-law's cooking skills are so good."
"As long as you like it, can you stay for a few days? I'll see if I can make you some more delicious food."
Xiao Zhou said: "We don't have a specific time limit. We just say we will go back when we are done. You have to ask Brother Xiao Feng about this."
Zhao Yeqing said she understood, and Mu Xi would definitely go with them tomorrow. She went back to her room and packed some mosquito repellent and a simple medical kit, which would be useful in case she was injured by any animal.
When Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zheng heard that there were dangerous animals on the way down the mountain, they did not panic at all. Zhao Yeqing thought that they were so confident because they had real skills.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhou laughed and said, "We have Brother Mu with us, so what are we afraid of? I was so impressed by his skill in throwing bombs last time!"
Before he could finish his words, Mu Xi's eyebrows jumped and he quickly reached out to cover his mouth, but it was too late.
Zhao Yeqing raised his eyes: "Bomb? What bomb?"
It's over. Xiao Zheng has already noticed something is wrong. He guessed that Brother Mu was afraid that his sister-in-law would worry when he came back, so he didn't tell her about throwing the bomb, and Xiao Zhou leaked the news.
Xiao Zhou hadn't realized anything was wrong yet, and his tone was so excited: "It was during the last mission, Brother Mu stepped forward and grabbed that perverted bomb and threw it out. If it weren't for him, we would probably be dead!"
He has been discovered. Covering his mouth is useless and it only makes things more obvious. Xiao Zheng couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He turned around and looked at Mu Xi with sympathy.
Mu Xi stood there without saying anything, but in fact he was brainstorming in his mind, thinking about how to coax people.
Zhao Yeqing didn't say anything, just nodded, and continued chatting with Xiao Zhou with a smile, as if he didn't care.
Mu Xi vaguely felt the calm before the storm.
