Ruan Niannian held her cheeks with both hands and squatted beside Pei Yuanzheng, watching him process the pheasant.
"What are we going to eat at noon?" She pointed to the pheasant that was being processed.
Pei Yuanzheng carefully put the bright chicken feathers aside, preparing to wash them and make shuttlecocks for Ruan Niannian to play with.
If Zheng Chenggong was considered a child at the age of sixteen, why couldn’t his wife be considered a child at the age of eighteen?
He replied while busying himself, "I'll ask Brother Wolf to go to the private plot of Third Brother's house and get some potatoes. We'll have chicken stewed with potatoes. Okay, wife?"
She knows how to make chicken stewed with potatoes, but her skills are not very good. It's a rare opportunity to eat game, so she won't waste it with her mediocre skills, right?
"Okay, okay, how about we invite our eldest brother and sister-in-law to come and eat together?"
It doesn't matter whether she has any skills or not. She mainly misses Li Jinhua. She and her sisters-in-law haven't gotten together to gossip and talk in private for a long time.
Pei Yuanzheng did not satisfy her, "No, wife, we just talked about it yesterday, it's not good to invite big brother and sister-in-law to eat today. When it's ready, we can send some to big brother, second brother and third brother's home."
Then there won't be much left.
Ruan Niannian sighed silently, "Forget it, I'll go to the village supply and marketing cooperative to see if there's any beer and buy some for you and Brother Wolf to have a drink."
She said and went to ride her bike.
Going to the village supply and marketing cooperative to see if there is beer is purely a matter of luck. This stuff is indeed not in short supply in the commune, but it is rarely affordable in the village.
Most of the time, the village supply and marketing cooperative is closed, and occasionally it opens to sell snacks for children and some miscellaneous daily necessities.
Sometimes when the store is closed and you are in a hurry to buy something, you can go to his house and ask him to open the door.
When Ruan Niannian rode her bicycle to the village supply and marketing cooperative, she saw that the door was actually open. She raised her eyebrows and felt that she was lucky today. She just didn't know if he had any beer today.
The supply and marketing cooperative in the village is actually a very small wooden house that can only hold two cabinets and a chair.
The door was also closed, there was only a row of wooden boards on top of the low cabinet.
After the supply and marketing cooperative owner opened the door and went in, he took down the row of wooden boards, and the villagers could buy things.
When Ruan Niannian arrived, the boss was lying in his chair with his eyes closed, taking a nap. There was actually a small electric fan installed in the cramped wooden house, blowing directly towards the boss.
"Boss, do you have beer?" Ruan Niannian shouted inside.
The boss lifted one of his eyelids and saw that it was Ruan Niannian. He immediately perked up, sat up and said, "Originally I didn't have it, but since you want it, I'll find what others asked me to bring and give it to you."
As he spoke, he smiled at Ruan Niannian, his eyes narrowed in a flattering manner.
"Did someone ask you to bring it? Forget it, boss. Don't let others scold you later. I just ride a bicycle and it's convenient for me to go to the commune." She said and was about to leave.
This boss doesn't look like a good person. Why should she owe him a favor?
The boss was anxious, half of his body leaned out and shouted: "Come back, my daughter-in-law, why are you so impatient? I have extra, I'll give it to you, okay?"
"That's great." Ruan Niannian smiled at him. If she could avoid going to the commune, she was too lazy to run.
The boss brought out a bucket and asked her, "Did you bring a thermos?"
"I've brought it." Ruan Niannian quickly handed the thermos attached to the back seat of the bicycle to the owner of the supply and marketing cooperative and watched him fill the thermos.
"How much?"
The boss of the supply and marketing cooperative quickly said, "Well, Yuanzheng's wife, can you help me ask Yuanzheng to bring some goods to my shop in the future? In this way, if you help me ask, I won't charge you for this pot, okay?"
So this was the idea. Ruan Niannian agreed immediately after seeing the scary smile just now. "Okay, I'll go back and ask for you. Thank you, boss."
"Hey, you're welcome, you're welcome, haha, slow down." The boss leaned out half of his body and waved vigorously in the direction where Ruan Niannian was leaving.
He lay down again only after he could no longer see anyone, and fanned himself with a small electric fan, waving a palm-leaf fan in his hand.
He was humming a little tune, "We ordinary people are so happy today!"
Ruan Niannian went home and told Pei Yuanzheng what her boss said, and got a positive answer.
"He should have come to me earlier." Pei Yuanzheng had a blank expression on his face. "How could I refuse to bring things to the villagers? It's not like he didn't want to pay. I thought he just didn't want to do it because it was too troublesome."
This is such a beautiful misunderstanding.
Pei Yuanzheng cleaned up the two chickens and took them into the kitchen.
Only then did Ruan Niannian realize that Pei Qing had gone somewhere after washing the dishes. Could it be that he went up the mountain to chop firewood again?
Looking at the firewood that had been chopped and stacked into bundles in the yard, which were almost full, Ruan Niannian felt her scalp tingling.
How can we discourage Pei Qinggang’s enthusiasm for stockpiling firewood?
But she guessed wrong today. Pei Qinggang did not go out to chop wood. He came back not long after, almost half an hour later.
As soon as he came back, he said to Ruan Niannian, "Sister-in-law, if anyone comes to see me later, just tell them I'm not at home."
Hey, who are you hiding from?
Wu Xinghua followed Wu Lanhua to the commune and hasn't come back yet. Could it be Zhang Hongyu?
In fact, Zhang Hongyu's conditions are not bad, and Ruan Niannian's desire to be a matchmaker reached its peak.
I was thinking about the conditions of Zhang Hongyu and Pei Qinggang in my mind.
It is said that Zhang Hongyu's family is a dual-income family, and she seems to have many brothers and sisters. Otherwise, how could she be the one to go to the countryside with such a privileged family environment of dual-income families?
Although the things her family gave her were not as good as those given to Ruan Niannian, they were still among the best among the other educated youth in the educated youth center.
As for Zhang Hongyu's appearance, although not the best, she is also pretty. Although her skin is inevitably rough after working in the countryside for so many years, it doesn't matter. Pei Qinggang is a capable man. If he succeeds, can he let his wife go to work early and come back late every day?
That must be impossible.
Pei Qinggang is determined to be like Pei Yuanzheng.
Finally, it’s about personality. Pei Qinggang is a bit dull and doesn’t like to talk, especially to people he’s not familiar with. Even if they live under the same roof, they may not say a few words to each other in a day.
He started talking more to Ruan Niannian only after they became familiar with each other.
But Ruan Niannian discovered that although Pei Qinggang always said that he had known Zhang Hongyu for several years but was not familiar with her, he spoke to Zhang Hongyu very fluently and did not just utter one word or two at a time.
What does this mean? He likes her, but he can't see his heart clearly?
It's not impossible.
Ruan Niannian was thinking when she suddenly heard a voice at the gate: "Ruan Zhiqing, is Brother Lang home?"
