"Hey! It seems that your leg being bitten is not a bad thing, old man. Finally there is news about that bad boy!" The woman slapped her man's shoulders twice.
Hearing the sound, Cheng Yunan felt sorry for Dong Wenhua.
However, Xiao could see that thanks to this woman taking care of Dong Wenhua, he would have collapsed long ago in the past six years.
"It's getting late. I have to hurry home, Uncle Master. I have to go to town early tomorrow morning. If you have anything to say to Master, you can write to him and I'll mail it to him."
It is not easy for these people who were sent down to the countryside to leave the village.
"Okay, okay, I'll write it tonight and send it to you before dawn tomorrow. Don't worry, I will avoid the villagers." Dong Wenhua said.
Cheng Yunan thought about it and said for safety: "Don't bother. I'll come and get it after I finish my meal."
"It's... late at night, it's too unsafe for a girl like you." How could she be allowed to run back and forth like a little girl?
"Master, don't worry. My husband is still in the village. I'll have him take me over. It's settled. I'm leaving now."
Cheng Yunan did not forget to take out a pheasant from the bottom of the backpack, "Master, I caught this in the mountains today. I'll leave it for you and aunt to nourish your body."
"You caught this with great difficulty, how come..."
Dong Wenhua wanted to refuse, but the woman interrupted her, "She is Guangming's apprentice, so she is our apprentice. A disciple's filial piety is a token of his heart, so why refuse?" She turned to Cheng Yunan and said, "Auntie, just accept it!"
"Yes, I should!" From the woman's familiar tone, it seemed that they had a very good relationship with the master, so there was nothing wrong with giving him some gifts.
"Master, auntie, I will go back first and come to see you another day."
"Okay, hurry up and leave." It's almost time to get off work, so don't run into the villagers.
Cheng Yunan walked a distance away with the backpack on his back, and could vaguely hear Grandma Qiu's mumbling.
"Old man, do you think we should make the soup or add some other dishes to it and eat it over two days?
Oh no, no, it's so hot, the meat will go bad in one day and won't be edible, let's just make a pot of stew, it's safer to keep the meat in your stomach.
Old man, do you think I am right? "
Dong Wenhua, "Yes, yes, yes, my wife, whatever you say is right, I will listen to you."
"Just listen to me, or I'll beat you up!"
…
Cheng Yunan felt a slight envy towards the way the two people got along.
This should be the happiness of two people getting married and staying together for a lifetime.
Suddenly she felt a little uneasy.
Her steps became lighter involuntarily. When she got home, she washed up first and then started cutting vegetables.
Everyone in the family had gone to work, and as the only one who had been "idle" the whole day, it would be bad for her to just do nothing.
Besides, cooking was not difficult for her, so she took the opportunity to quickly take out more things from the space.
When Lu Shiye asked her about it, she said that it was brought by the educated youth.
Anyway, Lu Shiye didn't ask everyone one by one, so the matter was swept under the rug.
Cheng Yunan went to their room and took out five pounds of dried black fungus and a basket of eggs, more than sixty in total, enough for them to eat for a while.
There were also common dried fruits, medicinal liquor, dried vegetables, 20 kilograms of white flour, 30 kilograms of white rice, as well as cakes and brown sugar. Nothing was left out and all was arranged.
There was a chest of drawers next to the bed in their room, which was empty and perfect for storing these things.
I arranged the things one by one, luckily I almost didn't finish packing the whole big cabinet.
However, with these things, even if Lu Shiye returned to the army, she would have enough to eat for a long time.
꺗 took half a pound of dried black fungus and soaked it in water, and six eggs. As for the white flour and other things, I used the ones I had at home.
She is not a sucker, and she doesn't always use her own things to support her family.
She prepared the wild rabbit she had brought back from the mountains and made a rabbit stew with radishes.
After she finished cleaning up here, she put the rabbit meat in the pot and cooked it first.
When it's time to get off work, the villagers are busy heading home.
The one who came back with Ma Xiulian was her next-door neighbor, Aunt Feng.
"Xiulian! It's a huge relief for you, the third son, to get married."
Aunt Feng was a straightforward person and had a good relationship with Ma Xiulian, so her praise was sincere.
"Well, you don't know that I have always been worried about the third brother's marriage. Now that he has married, I am relieved of my worry."
"But you, as a mother-in-law, love your daughter-in-law and never let Cheng Zhiqing miss work."
"I just got married. I was busy all day yesterday. I have to stay at home and rest for a while."
Aunt Feng poked Ma Xiulian and lowered her voice with a teasing look on her face, "With your third child's physique, I'm sure he must have been exhausted last night. With Cheng Zhiqing's small body, I'm afraid he can't even get up this morning.
But we are still young, so if we don’t make trouble for ourselves, we will be worried. Otherwise, when will we be able to have a grandson?”
Ma Xiulian pouted at her and said, "You old bastard, you only know how to talk nonsense. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go back and cook."
"Eh?! Is that the white smoke coming out of your chimney?" Aunt Feng said jokingly, "You and your eldest daughter-in-law have gone to work, and only Shiye's wife is at home. Could she be cooking?
Cheng Zhiqing is indeed from the city, he is really sensible! He even prepared dinner in advance for you to come back."
There was a hint of sourness in his voice when he said this.
Ma Xiulian felt so comfortable when she heard her praise her daughter-in-law. "I'm not exaggerating, our third daughter's family is really good. She gave the whole family a meeting gift today."
"What meeting gift?" She had only heard of this thing. Anyway, the daughter-in-law they married was very stingy.
"I prepared Liberation shoes for the men in the family, clothes for Xiaoyue and the old lady, and a piece of silk for me. The fabric is so smooth that it is obviously from the provincial capital.
Knowing that I have to work hard all day and still have to come back to cook, he prepared it for me in advance. That child is so honest! "
After saying this, he still didn't forget to show off.
Aunt Feng: “…” Haha! I just listened and didn’t say anything.
It's like every family doesn't have a filial daughter-in-law.
However...it seems that her family doesn't have such a generous daughter-in-law.
Jiefang shoes, clothes, silk...
I don't want to talk, I'm making her jealous!
"Nannan, Mom is back!" Ma Xiu Lian shouted at the top of her voice before entering the yard.
Cheng Yunan had just washed the radishes when she heard the shouting and came out smiling, holding a small wooden basin.
"Mom, you're back just in time. Wash your hands quickly. I'll put the radish in the pot and cook it for a few minutes before we have dinner."
"Hiss!" Ma Xiulian took a deep breath and smelled a strong aroma of meat. "Nannan, what delicious food are you making? It smells so good!"
Could it be that she had wasted the two pounds of flesh she had saved?
It hurts a bit!
But the daughter-in-law cooked for her, but she had to endure the pain.
"Mom, I went into the mountains this afternoon and caught a hare and a pheasant. The pheasant was still tied up, and the hare looked quite fat. I cleaned it out and stewed it in a pot so that my family could taste my cooking skills."
Cheng Yunan's voice was gentle, her face was charming and her bright features were like a ray of soft light, instantly penetrating into Lu Shi's mind as he entered the room.
The bangs of the hammering made his heart tremble and create countless ripples.
Ma Xiulian swallowed hard.
Oh my god! The third old lady's hair is so pretty, no wonder men love pretty girls, even an old woman like her wants to cherish her!
