Chapter 156 Is This the Landlord’s House?
He Shuyun didn't mention this again, but she was thinking in her heart that she had to go talk to He Jianlin.
It's not a good idea to stay here all the time, we have to hurry up.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yi woke up slowly.
She glanced at the darkening sky outside and quickly got up and alerted herself.
I slept very soundly this afternoon and even though I sat up, I still felt a little sleepy.
In the kitchen outside, He Shuyun was frying a big goose with great enthusiasm. After the skin was a little bit burnt, she added water.
When Chen Yi went over, the pot had just started boiling.
He Shuyun put the seasonings in, then put the sauerkraut in, then covered the curtain, put steamed rice on top, and heated up a few steamed buns.
She turned around and looked at Chen Yi, and said, "Get up, go into the house quickly, don't catch a cold just after waking up."
Chen Yi nodded and just went out to the bathroom.
Anyone outside could see at a glance whether there was anyone in the room, so I didn't go inside to relieve myself.
To be honest, the toilets in Northeast China are so uncomfortable, my butt is freezing!
After returning to the room, she sat on the kang to keep warm. She really couldn't live without the kang in this winter. It was so cold outside, but the kang was warm.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, He Mingcheng came back.
He looked at Chen Yi and asked, "How are you? Are you feeling unwell today?"
After a day's work, he was always thinking about his wife.
Hearing this, Chen Yi shook her head and said, "I'm not feeling uncomfortable. I'm fine."
He Mingcheng thought for a moment and said, "I'm going on a business trip starting tomorrow, and it may take more than 20 days for me to come back."
To be honest, he was tired of being a long-distance driver. Not only was he exhausted, but he also couldn't spend time with his wife.
Seeing that Chen Yi was pregnant, if he left at this time, he was afraid that his wife would feel uncomfortable at home.
"A business trip?" Chen Yi was also a little disappointed. After all, she had just become pregnant and now she always wanted someone to accompany her.
Not just anyone can do it, I just want He Mingcheng to accompany me.
He Shuyun, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel worried when she heard that her nephew would be gone for less than a month.
"Chengzi, you've been gone for such a long time, how are things going at home?"
Although there were some things she shouldn't have said, it was uneasy to leave Chen Yi alone at home.
He Mingcheng smiled and said, "Aunt, I'll have to trouble you to stay here with her, otherwise I won't be at ease."
"It just so happens that you haven't been here for a long time. Stay a little longer. I'll send a telegram to my uncle tomorrow."
Hearing this, He Shuyun wanted to refuse, but she was also worried about Chen Yi being alone at home.
It would be fine under normal circumstances, but now that she’s pregnant, how can anyone feel at ease?
"This..." She hesitated.
Chen Yi immediately pulled He Shuyun and said, "Aunt, it's great that you're here with me. It's a rare trip for you, so please stay a little longer."
Hearing this, He Shuyun gritted her teeth and agreed, "Okay, I'll just be idle if I go back anyway, so I can relax this time."
It hasn't thawed yet, so we can't do farm work.
"Aunt, you're cooking for me here and doing that. How can you be relaxed?" Chen Yi said with a smile.
He Shuyun also laughed, "You, when I get up in the morning at home, I have to prepare meals for the whole family, clean up this and that all day, and go to the mountains to collect firewood. Isn't it leisurely here for you?"
She complains that there is not enough work here, and it is not as tiring as the work at home.
This time it was finalized, and everyone started to clear the table and eat.
Today was just as sumptuous, with the gentlemen having two to four taels of rice each.
Chen Yi didn't have much appetite and only ate half a bowl of rice. She looked up and saw He Shuyun had also eaten a little, so she immediately grabbed the bowl and added more rice.
"Aunt, you're tired after a day's work, eat more!" He then filled a bowl for her.
They both have small bowls, so there's no need to worry about her not being able to finish her food.
He Shuyun couldn't grab it and sighed, "Oh, I can't finish it, kid!"
"Aunt." He Mingcheng said, "Eat more. This is your home. Your nephew's home is your home. Why are you being so polite? Let's not eat or drink when we go back to our hometown in the future, okay?"
Threat, an obvious threat!
He Shuyun was indeed embarrassed to eat and drink so much. It was okay with Wang Jianjun, after all, he was a grown man, so she couldn't eat any more.
But after hearing what her nephew said and the food served by her niece-in-law, she nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite."
"Don't be polite, we are home!"
Hearing them talking, Wang Jianjun felt a little embarrassed. He had been eating and drinking since he arrived, not thinking about how much he ate.
After thinking about it, he decided that after he got his salary, he would treat his brother and sister-in-law out for a good meal!
The next morning around six o'clock, Chen Yi got up and saw He Mingcheng was already carrying his bag and about to leave, so she said, "Be careful on the road. The roads are slippery in winter, so drive slowly."
"Don't worry, wife. I know." He Mingcheng walked over with a smile and then became intimate with her for a while.
He Shuyun woke up when she heard He Mingcheng go out, but everyone was gone.
He left before dawn. He always said that working in the city was good but also very hard.
She sighed and continued to lie down, waiting to cook for Chen Yi later.
In the morning, Chen Yi ate some porridge and went out. Because she didn't like leftovers, she was embarrassed to say so and didn't eat anything else.
He Shuyun saw that Chen Yi didn't like to eat vegetables and thought it was a reaction to pregnancy. After thinking about it, she asked Wang Jianjun to clean up the leftovers. The taste was not good after freezing, and Chen Yi was probably even less interested in eating.
Wang Jianjun looked at the large bowl of meat and said, "Mom, it's not good for us to eat like this, right?"
"You just realize it's not good now? Eat quickly and just remember your brother and sister-in-law's kindness in the future." He Shuyun rolled her eyes.
I didn't see him feeling embarrassed during the first two days. He was eating like a whirlwind as he used chopsticks. He just opened his big mouth and kept eating.
Wang Jianjun scratched his head, then embarrassedly picked up four or two large bowls and started eating.
I can eat whole grain cakes at home, but it’s so nice to come here and eat rice every day.
"Mom, please give me some pancakes alone tonight. It would be a waste for me to eat rice with my big appetite." He talked while eating.
Hearing this, He Shuyun sighed, "Do you think I don't want to make pancakes? The key is that your brother's family doesn't have coarse grains, only fine grains."
That day, she was cooking and opened the jars for storing grain. Wow, there were two jars of grain, one of which was rice and the other was flour.
The drawer was full of white noodles and a small jar of millet.
Not to mention whole grains, even beans were not seen.
Wang Jianjun was dumbfounded. Is this a landlord's house?
"Isn't this too exaggerated? They don't eat coarse grains?" He looked puzzled.
He Shuyun nodded, "You don't know your brother? He didn't like to eat whole grains since he was a child. After he was able to make money, he rarely ate whole grains, and only ate fine grains."
Wang Jianjun: I have really broadened my horizons!
He has never seen what a large jar of fine grain looks like!
After he finished his meal and went to the kitchen and saw two grain jars, he could only sigh with a complicated feeling.
Comparing people makes you die, comparing goods makes you throw them away! Look at them, this is what it means to live a good life!
When will his family be able to eat fine grains and meat every day?
