Zhao Mingzhe felt nauseous looking at Lu Xiaolan's pathetic imitation.
But the thought of the steaming egg in his hand forced him to patiently watch her performance.
He brought four hundred yuan with him when he went to the countryside. He spent some of it on buying things, then gave Ye Weiwei one hundred yuan, was cheated out of one hundred yuan by that woman Ye Wanwan, and extorted all the remaining money in order to redeem the photos from Sun Jinbao.
If it weren't for the fact that his family sent him fifty yuan a while ago to buy some food for the winter, how could he possibly eat with the little work points he earned?
However, because he spends money too recklessly, his family has some complaints about him and will not be sending him money in the short term.
Now, he only has a dozen yuan left, and he has to live frugally. When he goes to town, he can't even afford to buy steamed buns from the state-run restaurant. He eats coarse food and wild vegetables at the educated youth settlement every day, and he hasn't smelled meat for many days.
Fortunately, there was Lu Xiaolan, who would occasionally send him an egg as a treat.
So, although he always told Lu Xiaolan to keep his distance, he had to patiently deal with her for the eggs she brought him, and he couldn't really cut off all contact with her.
After Zhao Mingzhe finished eating the eggs at Lu Xiaolan's repeated pleas, Lu Xiaolan left satisfied, turning back to look at him again and again.
When Zhao Mingzhe returned, he ran into Ye Weiwei. Seeing Ye Weiwei looking at him, he subconsciously straightened his back and showed what he thought was a charming smile. Just as he was about to greet Ye Weiwei, he saw Ye Weiwei look disgusted and move aside.
Zhao Mingzhe's face darkened instantly, and he growled angrily, "Ye Weiwei, what do you mean?"
Ye Weiwei frowned and said, "Am I not obvious enough?"
Zhao Mingzhe clenched his fists in anger, "Ye Weiwei, don't push your luck!"
He even wanted to mend his relationship with this woman, but who knew she would be so ungrateful!
Hearing the noise, Xu Meijun pushed open the door and came out. Seeing Zhao Mingzhe, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Zhao Zhiqing, can't you rinse your mouth after eating the eggs? You're really not paying attention to your image!"
Ye Weiwei deliberately pinched her nose to stop Xu Meijun from continuing, "Meijun, please stop talking. Seeing him reminds me of him... I can't take it, my stomach feels nauseous, I feel like throwing up! I'm going back now!"
After saying that, Ye Weiwei gagged twice, covered her mouth, and ran away!
Xu Meijun also followed Ye Weiwei's example and pinched her nose as she returned to the dormitory.
Zhao Mingzhe stood there, bewildered in the wind...
He ran back to his dorm quickly, grabbed a small mirror, looked at himself, and then rushed out again to brush his teeth hard several times!
The thought of the way Ye Weiwei and Xu Meijun had looked at him earlier made him feel nauseous and he couldn't help but vomit up the egg he had just eaten.
Seeing the yellowish, sticky liquid on the ground, Zhao Mingzhe vomited even more violently!
Xu Meijun never expected that Ye Weiwei's few casual words could cause Zhao Mingzhe to be in such a state, and she felt even more awe for Ye Weiwei.
This woman is a killer who doesn't shed blood!
She felt that Zhao Mingzhe would never want to eat eggs again.
When Ye Weiwei returned home, she saw Huo Xiao fiddling with a pile of wood in the main room. Xiao Xingxing was sitting on Xiao Shan to her left and Xiao Chuan to her right. Each of the three little ones was holding a cookie, eating as they watched Huo Xiao measure and saw the wood.
"Auntie! Auntie! Uncle said he's going to make you a big desk!" Little Star shouted excitedly as soon as she saw Ye Weiwei.
"Little Auntie!"
Xiaoshan and Xiaochuan shouted in unison.
Ye Weiwei patted the three little ones' heads, then looked at Huo Xiao, "We're not in a hurry to use them, so there's no need to rush to make them."
Huo Xiao stood with one foot on the wood and used the other hand to saw. "Measure the wood first and then saw it out."
Little Star said happily, "Auntie, Uncle said he'll make me a little toy gun after he finishes sawing the wood!"
Xiao Shan quickly replied, "Auntie, I have one too!"
Xiao Chuan looked at his older brother and then at his younger brother, "They both are there!"
Ye Weiwei smiled and said, "Yes, we have them all. Let him make one for each of you."
Unexpectedly, Huo Xiao is quite good at coaxing children. Look how well-behaved these three boys are. Even Xiaoshan and Xiaochuan are not afraid of him anymore.
After finishing sawing a piece of wood, Huo Xiao looked at Ye Weiwei and asked, "How is it over there? Is it serious?"
"He had a high fever, but I gave him an acupuncture treatment. He'll have another one tomorrow to induce sweating and he'll be fine."
Huo Xiao nodded upon hearing this, "It's alright."
As usual, Huo Xiao was in charge of cooking that evening, while Ye Weiwei helped with the fire. The dish was still braised pork with cabbage, and they made two-ingredient flatbreads by sticking them to the side of the pot.
This time, Ye Weiwei added more cured meat and had Xiaoshan and Xiaochuan eat there. The three little ones ate until their bellies were round. Ye Weiwei was worried that they would have indigestion, so after the meal, she took them for a walk around the house for more than half an hour to help them digest their food.
When Huo Hai came to pick up the children, the two little ones were reluctant to leave and wanted to sleep with Xiao Xingxing, which made Huo Xiao's face darken.
Now that there's a little star on his kang (heated brick bed), things are inconvenient enough. He can only get intimate with his wife after the little star has fallen asleep.
With these two brats around, how is he supposed to sleep!
Seeing Huo Xiao's cold expression, Xiao Shan and Xiao Chuan dared not say anything more and quickly followed Huo Hai away. However, before leaving, they reluctantly promised Xiao Xingxing that they would come to visit him the next day.
That night, after Xiaoxing fell asleep, Ye Weiwei told Huo Xiao about what she had heard at the educated youth settlement about what had happened in the village while they were away.
"Wu Xiaojing went back to the village and made a scene, saying that she had been sold to an old man for 100 yuan by Wu's eldest brother and his wife. The old man beat her every day and told her to go home and get the 100 yuan back, or she would sue the couple for human trafficking and send them to jail..."
The eldest brother and his wife were not to be trifled with either. They threatened Wu Xiaojing that if she made any more trouble, they would expose her for killing her own mother, and no one would get away with it.
As a result, the two groups fought like dogs, attracting the attention of the entire village.
Finally, Wu's eldest brother and sister-in-law gave Wu Xiaojing twenty yuan to get rid of her.
As Huo Xiao listened to Ye Weiwei speak, he played with her fingers. He didn't expect that his wife's topic would suddenly turn to him.
"Third Brother Huo, I remember Wu Xiaojing used to give you the eye all the time, right?"
Huo Xiao: ...
I just wanted to quietly enjoy the gossip, but I never expected it to hit me.
Huo Xiao: "Really? I don't know, I don't feel anything, and I wouldn't be interested."
Ye Weiwei snorted: "Don't try to fool me! You can tell the gender of a fly that flies by you, I don't believe you wouldn't know when Wu Xiaojing is being so obvious."
Huo Xiao said aggrievedly, "Wife, you're insulting your husband's taste!"
