Chapter 7
7
Cheng Yeran has never been so tired since he was a child. He used to hear people in the circle say that being an actor is tiring and they have to shoot movies day and night.
But today he just experienced an ordinary day as a farmer, and he was so tired that his whole body ached.
йΑйＦ
I collapsed onto the bed, closed my eyes and fell asleep.
When Shen Yuntang returned to the room to change clothes, he heard the man talking in his sleep. He leaned in curiously and listened. He heard Cheng Yeran say, "Sure enough, I still prefer a lazy life."
Shen Yuntang: “…”
Shen Yuntang was helpless, but the lazy guy had indeed worked hard today, so he wanted to quickly make a hot dinner to reward him.
Due to limited conditions at home, he chopped up the wild vegetables and bamboo shoots he had just dug, mixed them with noodles and bacon, and made a pot of wild vegetable meatballs.
The bacon was originally a gift from his mother to him when he returned home. But now there is no salt at home, so he can only use bacon as a seasoning. He will buy a piece as a gift when he goes to the market.
Cheng Yeran woke up and went to the kitchen following the fragrance. He saw his little idol cooking. Before they went out, the pot was still rusty and the kitchen was a mess. But now, the kitchen was not only tidy, but also filled with a pot of steaming hot food!
He just checked the time on his phone. He had only slept for two hours, but the other party had done so many things in those two hours.
Before he participated in the show, his haters called him a mama's boy. What has he become now? Wife treasure?
"You've come just in time. Try it." Shen Yuntang served him a meatball and handed it to him. "We don't have any seasoning at home, so just make do with what we have."
Cheng Yeran looked at the green dumplings in the bowl. Could they be made from those grass-like wild vegetables? It smells quite nice, but I don't know if it will taste bitter like grass.
He took a tentative bite and it had a sweet taste with crispy bamboo shoots. The bacon inside added fragrance and saltiness. It was so delicious that he even drank the soup in the bowl.
He handed the bowl to Shen Yuntang: "How can you be so amazing and do everything so well? I used to treat you as my younger brother, but now I realize that I am the younger brother."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Eat quickly." Shen Yuntang felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw that he liked the food, but he was very embarrassed to be praised so directly by the other party. He quickly served a bowl to Cheng Yeran and told him to go out to eat and not to crowd in the kitchen.
Maybe he was too tired during the day, Cheng Yeran ate several big bowls of wild vegetable meatballs in a row, and even ate two of the rough dry food that he disliked in the morning.
…
His clothes were dirty and uncomfortable to wear, so he rummaged around the house and found two sets of clothes. They looked like new clothes that had never been worn, but they had been stored for too long and had a musty smell. His clothes also smelled of sweat.
The next morning after breakfast, he took a basin and prepared to go to the river to wash clothes.
When he walked to the door, he found Shen Yuntang looking at him in shock, "Why are you looking at me like that again? You don't want me to help you wash your clothes, do you?"
Although he had to do his own things, Shen Yuntang was the one who cooked these two days. Thinking of this, he went into the house and put the clothes that Shen Yuntang had changed in the past two days into the basin.
"Wait, you want to wash clothes for me? What kind of man washes clothes? You will be laughed at when you go out. I will wash it later." Shen Yuntang couldn't imagine how Cheng Yeran would be laughed at by the villagers if he went out with a basin like this.
Cheng Yeran admired his dedication so much, but the meal was cooked by Shen Yuntang, and if Shen Yuntang had to wash the clothes too, he would be furious. Even if he didn't consider this issue, he was not willing to owe anyone anything.
"It's just a matter of convenience. Don't worry about it." On the way to the river with the basin in his hand, Cheng Yeran met many women and men who came to wash clothes. They were also shocked when they saw the basin in Cheng Yeran's hand.
"You're still doing your own laundry after getting married? Why don't you ask your husband to do it?"
"It's already so late, is your husband awake?"
"Do you really want to wash your own clothes? I think the red clothes in the basin belong to Shen Yuntang. Why does he order you around like this?"
"He was exhausted yesterday, and I wanted him to take a break." Cheng Yeran was referring to chopping wood and cooking, but after he said that, he saw the women smiling and it was obvious that he had the wrong idea.
He quickly corrected: "It's not that he was exhausted, it's because he was chopping wood and cooking. He is a good cook and knows a lot. He knows more than a dozen kinds of wild vegetables."
He became more and more excited as he talked, and even used more force with his hands when washing clothes. Several women could not help but giggle when they saw him praising their husbands like this, thinking that newlyweds are so sweet.
Shen Yunfeng happened to come to do laundry today. Seeing Cheng Yeran speaking highly of his cousin and washing clothes for him, he frowned in dissatisfaction.
In her previous life, she married a lazy man who was too lazy to even eat, let alone wash his clothes.
In this life, she married her cousin. On the first day, she cleaned the house. On the second day, she fetched water and chopped wood from the river. On the third day, she washed clothes for her cousin with her own hands. Why does Shen Yuntang have such a good life no matter who she marries?
Although he had never loved this man, this man was his husband in his previous life after all. In his previous life, the lazy man had never even looked at him straight in the eye, but in this life, he seemed to have become a different person for his cousin.
It would be better if there was no comparison, but with the comparison he became jealous and crazy. How could he be inferior to Shen Yuntang? Why does everyone treat the two of them differently?
Is it possible that his cousin is worthy and he is not? Wait until he becomes the county magistrate's wife. Her husband is a high-ranking official, and it is not difficult for an official to make things difficult for a common citizen. She must teach this couple a lesson.
