Chapter 17 Handing in wages
"Who gave you what you were told to eat?"
Xiao Zhiyu's face was covered with dark clouds, and there was obvious anger in his voice.
He grabbed the lunch box and chopsticks filled with white rice and rudely stuffed them into Ruan Chuxia's hands. Then he glared at Huang Jun fiercely and demanded, "Can't you see that this is my wife giving her lunch to you? Are you really going to take it?"
"Go away and eat in the cafeteria!"
As Xiao Zhiyu spoke, he pushed Huang Jun towards the door with force.
The door slammed shut behind him with a loud bang.
He hasn’t even tasted the food cooked by his wife, so why should other men enjoy this blessing!
You wish!
Xiao Zhiyu turned around.
He saw Ruan Chuxia sitting on the sofa, looking at him with a smile in her eyes.
Her eyebrows raised slightly, as if she found the scene very interesting, and asked jokingly, "Are you talking about your wife?"
Xiao Zhiyu felt his ears and cheeks were slightly hot.
After a pause, he sat up straight, picked up the lunch box filled with rice, and said seriously: "We are married, so you are my wife, right?"
Ruan Chuxia's smile became even brighter and more charming.
"I didn't say no, why are you so nervous?"
She laughed even more happily.
Xiao Zhiyu immediately lowered his head and took a few mouthfuls of rice, thinking silently in his heart, his wife is so beautiful!
She was a hundred times prettier than the female stars he usually saw in movies!
Seeing him just eating rice without saying anything, Ruan Chuxia smiled slightly, reached out and picked up a piece of shiny braised pork and put it in his bowl, and said gently: "Don't just eat rice, eat more vegetables too."
"I've been stewing this braised pork for three hours. Don't waste it. Come and try it!"
There was a hint of anticipation in her words.
Xiao Zhiyu's body suddenly stiffened and he looked up at her in surprise.
He saw Ruan Chuxia looking at him with a smile, her face full of anticipation.
At this moment, a complex emotion flashed in Xiao Zhiyu's eyes.
He silently picked up the braised pork and took a careful bite.
The braised pork is soft, glutinous, sweet and fresh, and melts in your mouth.
The combination of fat and lean meat made him feel it was perfect.
This is the most delicious braised pork he has ever eaten!
Xiao Zhiyu's appetite immediately increased, and he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat voraciously.
Ruan Chuxia was amused by the way he wolfed down the food.
Xiao Zhiyu quickly finished all the food on the table, and looked at the few empty boxes left on the table and the half of rice left in Ruan Chuxia's lunch box with satisfaction. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He coughed lightly and looked at her with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Did I eat too much?"
He was worried that Ruan Chuxia would be unhappy because he ate too much.
Ruan Chuxia covered her mouth with a smile and explained softly, "Not much. You train so hard every day, your body needs more energy."
"If you have any special dishes you want to eat, just tell me and I will do my best to satisfy you."
Xiao Zhiyu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Will you come over tomorrow?"
He asked tentatively, as if afraid the answer would disappoint him.
Ruan Chuxia nodded and answered softly while cleaning up the leftovers on the table, "You're married now, so don't always go to the cafeteria to eat. There are too many people there, and I don't know if it's clean. From now on, I'll be responsible for the meals at home."
Xiao Zhiyu watched her every move closely.
Xiao Zhiyu suddenly spoke up, "You're right. Now that you've established a family, you should be in charge of the family's money."
"ah?"
Ruan Chuxia was stunned, with a look of surprise on her face.
I didn't react for a moment, why did the topic suddenly turn to money.
Xiao Zhiyu approached her with a smile and slowly put a silver key into her palm.
"I've put all my savings in the innermost drawer of the study. Please remember to keep it safe when you get home. From now on, the financial management of the family will be in your hands." "You know I've always been careless and haven't received much higher education. Besides work, I don't know much about other things. But having you by my side in the future, I'll feel very relieved and at ease."
Ruan Chuxia looked down at the key in her hand, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and then she nodded readily.
"Okay, then I'll take care of the household affairs from now on."
Xiao Zhiyu has an amazing appetite and eats at least five yuan worth of meat in one meal.
If we only rely on Ruan Chuxia's savings.
If we don’t rely on his monthly payments, I’m afraid our family will be out of money in a few days!
"And this."
Xiao Zhiyu picked up the fat rooster that Huang Jun had sent him.
I saw the rooster flapping its wings and flying around the house.
The whole room was suddenly filled with flying feathers.
He frowned slightly and lowered his voice to say, "We have a ready-made chicken coop in the yard, and there's also a small vegetable patch in the backyard. You can raise the chicken, and you can take care of the vegetable patch as well."
"Of course," he paused, "if you don't want to take care of these things yourself, you can ask Aunt Liu who lives next door to help. She used to be our nanny and has always been very reliable. You only need to give her a few dollars a month as a reward and ask her to help take care of the chickens and vegetable garden, so you don't have to work so hard."
Hearing this, Ruan Chuxia nodded slightly.
In fact, she had already made a plan in her mind to raise chickens by herself, and carefully select some nourishing herbs every day to add to the feed, making medicinal food to nourish the old and young in the family.
As for the vegetable garden, her plan is to grow some herbs for daily use.
After thinking it through, Ruan Chuxia smiled again.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your careful arrangements."
A complex emotion flashed across Xiao Zhiyu's eyes, and then he turned his head and called out loudly, "Chen Rong!"
"arrive!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open quickly.
Chen Rong appeared quickly and accurately.
Xiao Zhiyu still had a stern face and handed over a few chickens that were still struggling to the other party.
"You are responsible for getting them home safely and keeping the chickens properly housed in the backyard."
"Yes, sir! Head of the village!"
After receiving the order, Chen Rong immediately responded respectfully and took over those restless guys from Xiao Zhiyu.
Chen Rong held tightly in his hand a chicken that kept clucking.
Ruan Chuxia had already packed her lunch box neatly and was preparing to leave this place with Chen Rong.
However, when they were about to step out of the door, Chen Rong suddenly acted a little shy.
His cheeks gradually turned red.
After hesitating for a moment, he stood at the door and said to Xiao Zhiyu in the house embarrassedly: "Head, to be honest, the food your wife cooks is so delicious. I smelled it from far away. I almost died of greed at noon today!"
