Chapter 43 Don't be annoying
Chen Yi heard a knock on the door and walked over curiously.
When I opened the door, I saw Lin Mei standing outside.
She was carrying a basket filled with wool and needles.
"Are you busy? I hope I won't disturb you." She asked with a smile.
Chen Yi shook her head. "Why are you disturbing me? I stay at home all day. What can I do? Sister-in-law, come in quickly. It's warm in the room."
She stepped aside and led people to the inner room.
There is no sofa in the living room, but there are chairs but no table.
After the two entered the house, Chen Yi poured her a cup of hot water.
Lin Mei was not polite. She sat there, drank a sip of water and said, "I just wanted to come over and chat with you. You won't find me annoying, right?"
There was a joking tone in her voice, and it was obvious that she was joking.
How could Chen Yi not know that the other person came over because he was afraid that she would be bored and didn't want to go out.
She smiled and replied: "Sister-in-law, don't say that again. I welcome you to come."
Lin Mei was indeed joking, and seeing that she didn't blush, I knew that this person could afford to joke.
As she knitted, she said, "We in the forest farm go to the commune once every month on the 15th and 1st. We can't go anywhere else."
"If you want to buy something, you have to choose a good date so you don't miss it."
Lin Mei came here today just to talk to Chen Yi about the affairs of the forest farm.
Chen Yi was also very patient and asked questions humbly.
"Sister-in-law, I see the family compound is only this big, isn't there a supply and marketing cooperative in the village below?"
I saw it when I first came here, and it seemed like there were a few small second floors.
Lin Mei nodded and said, "Yes, there is a Red Star sales outlet below the Red Star Brigade. It's smaller than the supply and marketing cooperative, but it has daily necessities. If you want to buy something else, you can tell them and they will bring it over next time they deliver it."
There aren't as many shops and restaurants here as in the commune, but there are still some sales outlets.
Only then did Chen Yi understand the specific situation of this place.
She went to wash a few apples, all of which were the worst kind in the space.
It was too good, not like the apples that are supposed to be eaten in winter.
"My sister-in-law doesn't have anything to treat you at home. This was sent to me by my family. Try it. It's an apple from the south." She handed it to Lin Mei and sat down next to her.
When Lin Mei saw that thing, her eyes were full of surprise. It was not that she had never eaten it before, but she had only eaten a limited number of apples in the past few decades.
She quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, put it away quickly, I just need to drink some water."
Are you kidding? This thing is more precious than anything else.
The only fruit they have now is frozen pears, which are rare.
If I want to eat some fruit, I just go to the cellar and get a radish to cut.
Let alone fruits, it’s not easy to eat vegetables at this time.
Since Chen Yi took it out, it was for her to eat.
"Don't be polite, sister-in-law. I have more." As she said that, she forced one into Lin Mei's hand.
Lin Mei looked at the apple and was reluctant to eat it.
But she thought about it and opened her mouth and took a small bite.
"So crispy!" Her eyes lit up. This thing is so delicious.
It is much more delicious than the wild apples in the mountains. Those sour ones are the good stuff. This apple has a crisp texture and is very sweet.
After taking a bite, she stopped eating and put it on the kang table next to her.
Seeing this, Chen Yi did not force her to eat, because whether she ate or not was none of her business.
The two chatted until four o'clock in the afternoon before parting.
Lin Mei was carrying a basket, holding an apple that she had taken a bite of.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I have to go home and cook for the kids. I guess I'll be home soon."
She has a child who goes to school, so she has to go back quickly.
Children cannot resist hunger, so they have to eat at a certain time.
Chen Yi nodded and sent her out, "Sister-in-law, come over and play if you have nothing to do. It's boring for me to be alone at home."
"Okay, as long as you don't mind." Lin Mei smiled and left.
Chen Yi closed the door and went to the stove to add some coal.
There is coal here, unlike in Xiaohe Brigade where we can only burn wood.
This one is more burn resistant.
She followed He Mingcheng's method and pressed wet coal on the top layer so that it could burn longer.
I had a simple meal of shredded pork noodles and braised chicken legs in the evening.
These chicken legs are all frozen. I braised them in a big pot before. It’s very convenient. Just take one when you want to eat it.
There are a lot of frozen goods in her space, including fish, chicken, duck, goose, pork, beef and mutton.
It’s a pity that there is no fresh meat. Although it is still meat, the taste and texture are not the same.
Chen Yi doesn't like eating beef either, but if it wasn't put away at the beginning and the power system was cut off, these things would have become smelly, which is a pity.
She went to the fruit section and got some oranges and cut some watermelon.
Lie on the sofa with your food, and eat while watching a movie.
Days like this are so comfortable. You don’t need to think about anything. Just be a salted fish.
But reality does not allow her to do so, she has to take care of others.
Now I have a place to live and don’t have to work on the farm, all because of He Mingcheng.
Otherwise he would have to go to the fields to farm and carry manure, facing the loess and back to the sky every day.
Of course, He Mingcheng also took great care of her and never let her do any heavy work.
We take careful care of it every day, and it all comes down to hard work.
Looking back at myself...
Thinking of this, Chen Yi rolled her eyes. He always wanted to sleep in the same bed with her, so how could she easily agree to him!
Let’s not talk about whether He Mingcheng will change after getting her, even if they are just a couple, two months are not enough.
She doesn't mean to keep people in suspense all the time, but some things need to be handled more cautiously.
Chen Yi is no longer the 20-year-old girl who was just beginning to fall in love.
There is only love in their eyes and vows of eternal love.
Now she pays more attention to whether the two people are suitable for each other, whether their values match, and whether they understand each other, so that they can go further.
"Why are you thinking about these things?" she muttered, then went to wash up and get ready for bed.
There were no entertainment activities at that time, so Chen Yi did not allow herself to stay up late.
Otherwise, if you sleep until noon every day, people will gossip about you.
How can a young wife stay in bed all day long and not get up?
The next morning, Chen Yi ate some breakfast in the space and then went out to light the stove.
If this thing doesn't burn, the room will be like a cellar.
Every day she gets up, eats, cleans the house, and then does laundry.
The same is true today. Once she becomes proficient in making clothes, she will feel at ease.
After all, once you unlock a new skill, you won’t have to spend money to buy clothes anymore.
Ready-made clothes are very expensive now, and you need a clothing ticket.
It is more convenient to make clothes with cloth, and you can also make the style you like, which is great.
I looked at the clothes next to the sewing machine and they were almost piled up like a mountain.
She didn't make these clothes well. Either there was a flaw here or there. There were flaws in all of them.
Chen Yi plans to take advantage of this time to make a piece of clothing for He Mingcheng.
After all, he is her nominal husband, so she has to take care of him.
It will be available tomorrow, the editor notified me. I wanted to give it an extra month for free, but it's not possible anymore.
Thank you all for your support. You can vote for me on the monthly ticket on the 1st.
Thank you all for your company over the past month. I will update five more chapters tomorrow.
