At dinner time, the family sat at the table.
Feng Aiguo glanced at his wife, then at the plate of meat and vegetables on the table.
"Why didn't Ye, the educated youth, come?"
Although it wasn't his original intention to let the educated youth live in his home, he couldn't treat them poorly, so they still had to be fed properly.
However, he also knew that the newly arrived educated youth might not be used to the coarse grains here, but they would get used to it over time.
Liu Xinmei glanced at her son who was eating; he was eating quite quickly, and his usual laziness was gone.
"Wenyun said that the educated youth was tired and had gone to rest first, and that she had already left food for her."
Just as Liu Xinmei was about to start the meal, she saw her son holding a bowl and constantly putting food into it.
She was a little surprised at the time, wondering why a family would do this when eating together.
After asking, I learned that this was the food that my son had left for the female educated youth, and he had even asked her to steam an egg custard in the pot while it was still warm.
Although she had never met the female educated youth, she knew the general idea of what was going on.
Liu Xinmei was also somewhat troubled at this moment. Of course, she thought her own son was the best, but those educated youth...
She naturally wanted her youngest son to get married soon, but according to her original plan, it would be best if her daughter-in-law was someone who could do housework.
Being like the eldest daughter-in-law would be great; at least she can take care of the family.
With her help on a regular basis, they were able to live a decent life.
She had also met those educated youth from the city. They were indeed fairer and more delicate than the girls in the village, but they couldn't even compare to ten-year-old children in farming.
If Wenyun marries a former educated youth, and the two of them are both spoiled, how will they live together in the future!
As Liu Xinmei pondered this, the speed at which she picked up food with her chopsticks slowed down.
She wanted to ask her husband what he thought, but Feng Aiguo was eating happily and finished most of his bowl of rice in the blink of an eye.
She was probably the only one at the entire dinner table who couldn't eat.
Liang Lan ate quickly because of the rare meat dish at home.
But the more I ate, the more uncomfortable I felt.
The six dishes and one soup on the table were a rare treat for her in the past.
After marrying into the Feng family, her life did indeed become better. You know, before, when she was at home, she wasn't even allowed to eat at the table.
Even though she's the one who always cooks.
When she first came to the Feng family, Liu Xinmei was not very satisfied with her, so she didn't prepare anything nice for her.
Who would have thought that a newly arrived educated youth staying at her home would be treated better than her daughter-in-law?
Liang Lan was indignant, but dared not show it on her face.
She is a smart person.
Just like before, even if Liang Lan was dissatisfied with her mother-in-law's favoritism towards her brother-in-law, she only criticized her in her heart and dared not say it to Liu Xinmei's face.
She lived a good life after marrying into the Feng family. She did less work than she did at home and ate much more lavishly.
What's more, her husband comes back from town once a week, bringing her food, nice fabrics, and some money he keeps for her.
Liang Lan must be crazy to go against her mother-in-law and disrupt the peace of this family.
Even if she was dissatisfied, Liang Lan still acted docilely in front of her family.
Feng Wenyun ate very quickly, not because the food was particularly delicious.
He was already used to his mother's cooking, and at this moment he was eating so fast that he couldn't taste anything in his mouth.
Listening to the sounds coming from the room, Feng Wenyun ate her dinner very quickly.
Liuyin didn't rest, but she couldn't see anyone for the time being.
The black bed sheet was now faintly damp, no longer as smooth as before.
The interplay of black and white, in the dimly lit room at dusk, inexplicably exudes an ambiguous atmosphere.
Amidst a burst of rapid breathing, the man couldn't help but tighten his embrace around Liu Yin's waist.
Liu Yin's lips were swollen; anyone with eyes could tell what had happened.
She reached out and gently pushed him away, saying, "How can I go out and face people like this?"
The blame in her words was obvious, but Feng Wenyun still couldn't help but lower his head and kiss the corner of her mouth.
"I'll bring it in for you to eat later, it'll be ready tomorrow."
Worried that Liuyin would be hungry, Feng Wenyun brought her food in as soon as she finished eating.
Liu Yin picked out some to eat, and gave him the rest.
Looking at Liu Yin's flat stomach, the man was a little worried that she wouldn't be used to the food. "What kind of food do you like to eat?"
"Me?" Liu Yin thought about it seriously. "I don't think I have any particular favorite dishes."
She knew what the man was worried about, so she explained, "I just don't eat much to begin with."
Actually, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many people around that she couldn't avoid them, Liuyin wouldn't have wanted to eat at all.
She eats human food only to satisfy her appetite, not because it's a real necessity for survival.
However, she still finished the bowl of steamed egg custard that the man brought.
Feng Wenyun's mother has been steaming egg custard for over twenty years, and her skill is still there.
Liu Yin propped her head up with her hand while watching the man eat at the table.
Feng Wenyun didn't mind that it was leftovers that Liu Yin had eaten; she was just somewhat relieved that she hadn't eaten much of it before.
Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to eat anymore.
When Feng Wenyun went out with the empty bowl, she ran into Liang Lan, who was about to wash the dishes.
Meeting the other person's surprised gaze, Feng Wenyun casually called out, "Sister-in-law."
"Oh, is this all eaten?" Liang Lan's gaze fell on the several empty bowls in Feng Wenyun's hands.
The food that was piled up before is all gone now.
She saw her brother-in-law serving food; one bowl for rice, one bowl for vegetables, and another for steamed egg custard.
During busy farming seasons, the food is all piled together, so there's no time to separate it so clearly.
Her brother-in-law kept piling meat into her bowl, which really broke her heart. She had never eaten so much meat at once before!
And now an outsider is going to benefit from this!
Even his mother-in-law, who was standing to the side, didn't stop him; she even cracked an egg and made steamed egg custard.
Seeing her brother-in-law come out of the room with a bowl, Liang Lan became even more certain of her previous guess: her brother-in-law had taken a liking to that female educated youth!
Otherwise, why would they go out of their way to bring the food in and even take out the empty bowl?
"Okay." Feng Wenyun nodded and put the empty bowl into the kitchen.
Liang Lan frowned slightly as she watched his departing figure. If her brother-in-law really took a liking to that female educated youth, her parents probably wouldn't be able to resist him.
Although she didn't think much of her brother-in-law's idleness, she secretly thought that the new female educated youth was no good.
On the first day we met, she let another man into her room and didn't even bother to bring out an empty bowl herself!
But at this moment, Liang Lan also had a bad feeling. If the two of them really got together, wouldn't they become lazier than each other?
You know, the younger brother-in-law's face is quite intimidating, so his sudden display of thoughtfulness was bound to catch the unsuspecting female educated youth off guard.
