These few short steps attracted many people's attention.
Ye Li chose to turn a blind eye, opened the door of his room, and placed the bowl of rice in front of Jiang Xun.
"Come, it's time to eat."
Jiang Xun took the chopsticks and picked up a dumpling.
The dumpling has a thin skin and a large filling, and its belly is round and plump, which looks very cute.
He took a bite, and the rich aroma of meat filled his mouth.
Jiang Xun smiled: "It tastes good."
"There's only a few green onions in half a pound of meat." Ye Li said with a smile.
Jiang Xun put down his chopsticks and asked, "Mom didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"
...
...
Ye Li shook her head: "No. She just felt bad for me spending so much money on meat, and was worried that I would finish the meat early, and that we would have nothing to eat in the second half of the month."
"Li Li." Jiang Xun said seriously, "Mom means well, but this life is ours, you can live it however you want."
Hearing Jiang Xun's words, Ye Li's heart warmed: "Aren't you afraid that I, a spendthrift wife, will squander all your money?"
"Don't be afraid." Jiang Xun looked up at her, his deep black eyes shining, "From the moment you chose me unwaveringly, I believed in you."
"Aren't you afraid that I'm after your money?" Ye Li asked half-jokingly.
"My intuition tells me that you are not." Jiang Xun paused and continued, "Even if you are, I am willing."
Ye Li understood the meaning of the words, the corners of his lips curved, his cheeks flushed, and his heart was filled with excitement.
Seeing the gorgeous peach blossoms blooming on her fair face, Jiang Xun also smiled.
He also handed the chopsticks to Ye Li: "You eat too."
"You eat first." Ye Li said, "We can't finish three bowls of dumplings, so give one bowl to mom and dad to try."
Jiang Xun was naturally very happy to see that his wife was so filial.
"Okay, go ahead."
In the house.
Zhao Xingmei was talking to her husband Jiang Jingshan about Ye Li making dumplings.
"Half a pound of meat filling?" Wang Jingshan smacked his lips. "How delicious would that be? Old lady, how long has it been since we had meat dumplings at home?"
If there is no oil in the stomach, the mouth will be greedy.
"You didn't eat meat on the day of the boss's wedding?"
Jiang Jingshan recalled the taste of that day and said with lingering feeling: "There was only a plate of braised pork, a roast chicken, and a fish on the table. Seven or eight people each took a chopstick, and there was nothing left."
"That's true." Zhao Xingmei nodded. "I'll make dumplings for you when we get the money at the end of the month."
Jiang Jingshan was obviously unable to wait any longer.
He was silent for a while, then asked Zhao Xingmei: "Do you think...will the boss remember to send us something to eat?"
Zhao Xingmei laughed dryly: "I think you are dreaming! They say that a man forgets his mother after marrying his wife! Look at the behavior of the second and fourth sons. If there is something delicious, they would sneak out and eat it all before coming back. I don't think the eldest son's wife is much better."
As soon as Zhao Xingmei finished speaking, she heard Ye Li calling her outside the door.
"Mother!"
Zhao Xingmei heard the noise and opened the door, and saw Ye Li standing outside with a bowl of meat dumplings in his hand and a smile on his face.
"Mom, I made three bowls of dumplings. Jiang Xun and I will be full after one bowl each. I'll leave one bowl for you and Dad to try."
Zhao Xingmei was stunned: "This..."
She didn't expect Ye Li to bring her a bowl.
Ye Li smiled and said, "Mom! Jiang Xun is not an ungrateful person, nor is he someone who forgets his mother after marrying a wife. He is thinking about you! He asked me to send these dumplings over! I am confident that my cooking skills are pretty good. You and Dad should try them."
Looking at Ye Li's brilliant smile, Zhao Xingmei believed what she said.
She took the dumpling with an unnatural expression on her face: "Don't take what I said in the kitchen this afternoon to heart."
"Of course not. It is said that parents are the most compassionate people in the world. You are doing this for Jiang Xun and me, I know that. Don't worry, Mom. I will arrange my life so that Jiang Xun can have enough food and drink and save money to treat his leg."
Ye Li's words touched Zhao Xingmei's heart.
"Just know what you're doing."
"Mom, eat it while it's hot." After Ye Li finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his room.
"Wait." Zhao Xingmei called Ye Li.
She turned back into the house, opened her drawer, and took out a bicycle ticket.
"Your father and I can't eat your food for free. This is for you!"
Ye Li took the ticket and took a look at it, a little stunned: "This is a bicycle ticket."
"Yes! You can take it back." Zhao Xingmei said, "Your workplace is far from home, so it would be convenient to have a bicycle. Bicycle tickets are hard to get, luckily I have one here so I'll give it to you."
Ye Li was filled with joy.
She really didn't expect that she gave away dumplings and got an unexpected reward.
She quickly put the ticket away: "Thank you, Mom!"
"Yeah. Go ahead."
After Ye Li left, the old couple sat down and started eating dumplings.
There is a ball of meat inside this dumpling, and it tastes delicious when you bite it.
"These meat dumplings are delicious." Jiang Jingshan said with emotion, "I have never eaten really delicious dumplings in my life!"
Zhao Xingmei was also very happy while eating: "There is a lot of meat here, it is delicious!"
"Old woman, there is only one bicycle ticket. You gave it to the eldest and his wife. Aren't you afraid that the second and fourth sons will be unhappy when they know about it?" Jiang Jingshan asked.
Zhao Xingmei snorted and laughed: "What can we do if we know? I just want to tell them that if we honor them well, we won't suffer any loss."
Wang Jingshan nodded.
As luck would have it, Hu Jingjing happened to see Zhao Xingmei giving Ye Li the bicycle ticket.
When she returned to her room, she angrily said to Jiang Xi: "Your mother is so biased! Ye Li gave her a bowl of dumplings, and she gave the bicycle ticket to Ye Li. I have been nagging about this bicycle for more than a year, but she was reluctant to give me the ticket!"
"Really?" Jiang Xi was also very dissatisfied after hearing this. "What kind of magic potion did the sister-in-law give our mother? Now that she is here, our hearts are inclined to her?"
"Isn't it because her family doesn't want a dowry?" Hu Jingjing said.
"Why doesn't her family want a dowry?" Jiang Xi found it unbelievable.
"I don't know. I'll go ask around later."
After working in the workshop for a day, Jiang Xi was already starving.
He urged Hu Jingjing: "Hurry up and get me something to eat. I'm tired and hungry..."
"I also work all day, as if I'm not tired." Hu Jingjing said unhappily, "You go cook."
"My arms hurt from working on the lathe today, so I can't do anything! Hurry up and cook! If you don't, I'll go out to eat!"
Hu Jingjing was furious when she heard this: "How much is your monthly salary? And you still want to eat out!!"
"Do you think I'm willing to do that?" Jiang Xi said unhappily, "Working in the workshop requires a lot of hard work! I'm tired and hungry when I come back, and you don't even cook a meal! I can't starve to death, can I?"
Hu Jingjing glared at him angrily: "Wait."
Hu Jingjing was originally a lazy person who didn't want to cook, but after the family split up, there was no one to take care of the meals, so she had to cook for herself.
Seeing Ye Li making meat dumplings to eat today, she was stimulated.
He gritted his teeth and kneaded a piece of white dough, made two bowls of hand-rolled noodles, and then put an egg into the bowl of each person.
Although this meal is not as good as meat dumplings, it is still pretty good.
The couple closed the door and slurped two bowls of noodles, only then were they satisfied.
night.
The couple wanted to be intimate, but Jiang Xi surrendered in less than ten minutes.
Hu Jingjing was not satisfied and angrily kicked Jiang Xi off the bed: "You are a useless piece of silver. With someone like you, I will never be able to get pregnant!"
Jiang Xi rubbed his aching waist and said, "I'm almost dead from working during the day! How can I have the energy to pay taxes at night?"
"Why don't you change your position?" Hu Jingjing held her chin with her hand as she looked at Jiang Xi, who was exhausted, and started to think of new ideas in her head.
Jiang Xi sighed: "Transfer? That's easy for you to say!"
"You can't be exhausted like a dog every day, right?" Hu Jingjing yelled unsatisfiedly, "I don't care, Jiang Xi, if you don't let me feel comfortable, I will divorce you and find another man!"
"What are you talking about? Shut up right now!"
The couple had an unhappy argument over this topic, and after a quarrel they went to bed.
The next day, Jiang Xi was exhausted from the previous day and had worked hard to "pay his dues" at night. He caught a cold early in the morning and couldn't get up.
Hu Jingjing got up late and was reluctant to go to work.
She was painting inside the house when she heard someone coming in the yard.
"Is Comrade Jiang Xun at home? Comrade Jiang Xun!"
