Chapter 138: Caring (Part 2)
Jiang Zhiluo was stunned when she heard Liu Ting'an calling her sister-in-law.
This person had looked down on her before, thinking that she was the one who forced Cui Hejin, and seemed to be standing up for Cui Hejin.
Why do you act like you are calling me sister-in-law now?
Although this person looks like a foodie, he doesn't seem like someone who would change his stance for food.
Seeing Jiang Zhiluo raise her eyebrows and look at him, Liu Ting'an touched the back of his head embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, if I don't call you sister-in-law, Brother Cui will be unhappy."
Liu Ting'an still cares about Brother Cui's feelings.
Jiang Zhiluo paused in her action of stirring the chili meat sauce in the wok, was stunned for a moment, and then her heart skipped a beat.
She couldn't help but look back at Cui Hejin, who was pouring water gracefully.
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't imagine what it looked like when he defended her.
Jiang Zhiluo didn't say much, just said: "You are He Jin's friend, go sit down and drink some water first."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
Liu Ting'an called her sister-in-law all the time, and he did it very actively, without looking forced at all.
Jiang Zhiluo laughed helplessly.
Mrs. Cui went to build a house in the back and is not at home for the time being.
Cui Hejin poured Liu Ting'an some water and said, "Drink some water first. I'll go light the fire and talk to you after I'm done."
After saying that, Cui Hejin sat down by the stove again and started to light the fire.
Looking at Cui Hejin's actions, Liu Ting'an was stunned.
No way, Brother Cui actually made a fire.
Scholars believe that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen.
But Brother Cui is so knowledgeable, but he is still busy burning firewood at the stove.
This gave him an incredible feeling.
Even the way Brother Cui burns firewood looks so beautiful. It is so pleasing to the eye that one can’t take their eyes off it.
But...but the key is not whether it looks good or not.
But how can Brother Cui light a fire and cook?
Was it Jiang Zhiluo who forced Brother Cui to burn firewood?
Liu Ting'an wanted to ask anxiously, but he also knew that this was not the right occasion to say anything.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Hejin and thought about helping her light the fire first even though her friend had come. It would be a lie to say that she was not touched.
"It will be ready soon. Just put some firewood in the stove and start burning. Go and talk to your friend."
Cui Hejin used an iron hook to gently stir the firewood flames on the stove, occasionally pulling the bellows, and said continuously, "It's okay."
Jiang Zhiluo also knew that Cui Hejin’s decision would not be changed.
However, Liu Ting'an, who was watching from the side, realized that there was something strange about the bellows that Cui Hejin was pulling.
He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Cui, what are you doing with this?"
Why is it different from the way he burns fire at home?
When his mother and grandmother were cooking and lighting the fire, they didn't move anything.
I could only hear a clattering sound, which was very strange.
Liu Ting'an couldn't sit still, so he walked over and squatted to take a look. He found that the flame in the stove was burning very vigorously, and the entire stove was filled with flames.
He exclaimed in amazement, "What a blazing fire!"
"Is this the wind?"
Cui Hejin explained slowly, "This is a bellows. Blowing with the bellows will help ignite the firewood, and the flames will be stronger when burning."
When Liu Ting'an heard this, he became interested and said, "It looks so magical. There is actually such a thing."
“I’ve never seen any of them.”
After saying this, Liu Ting'an himself was stunned.
He found that the things made by Brother Cui's family could not be seen or heard of anywhere else.
The things in Brother Cui's home seem to be quite rare.
Thinking of how hard his mother and grandmother struggled to light the fire, Liu Ting'an asked, "Is this bellows easy to pull? Can I try it?"
Cui Hejin withdrew his hand, gave it to Liu Ting'an and said, "Okay!"
Liu Ting'an excitedly reached out and grasped the handle of the bellows. "Just pull it like this and it'll work?"
Cui Hejin nodded and said, "Yes, pull it back and forth, and the stove will have wind again."
Liu Ting'an stretched out his hand and moved it slightly, but he couldn't pull it at all.
Then he exerted a little strength, pulling it back and forth, and found that there was indeed a strong wind coming out of the stove mouth.
This made him excited and thrilled, "It really works."
"Brother Cui, where did you buy this bellows? I also want to buy one for my mother and grandmother."
"It's not easy for them to cook and light the fire every day. Sometimes the weather is humid and the firewood is damp and not dry enough. The fire in the stove will become very small while burning. They have to stir it hard and sometimes have to relight it."
In that case, it would take a long time just to light the fire and boil the pot.
But he saw that Brother Cui could heat up the pot quickly by lighting the fire like this.
If the flame is so strong, the pot will boil quickly. He thinks that this way he can use less firewood.
Jiang Zhiluo was stirring the food in the pot while saying, "This is a bellows made by my father himself. If you want to use it, go buy it from my father. The market price is one hundred coins."
When he heard the price was one hundred coins, Liu Ting'an felt it was acceptable.
Moreover, it is not difficult to pull the bellows. Once you master the method, it feels quite powerful to pull it.
"Can I buy it from your dad?"
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Then I'll go back and ask for you."
Her father should make two or three more and keep them at home for easy sale.
"Are you sure you want to buy it?"
Liu Ting'an said, "Of course. They're one hundred coins each. I'll definitely buy some to take home for my family."
Liu Ting'an is also a filial son. Although he looks careless on weekdays, he also knows that it is not easy for his parents to support his studies.
Although his family is well-off, the cost of studying is also very high.
The cost of pens, ink, paper and inkstone is a considerable expense.
Jiang Zhiluo thought about it and decided to go to her parents' house in the afternoon if she had nothing to do.
Jiang Zhiluo hesitated and said, "Husband, if I have nothing to do this afternoon, I might as well go back to my parents' home and ask."
"Well, I can go back with you."
Jiang Zhiluo's eyebrows moved slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she looked at Cui Hejin and said, "Would you feel constrained if you went with me?"
Cui Hejin said without hesitation: "No."
After a pause, he added: "If you want to go back and take a look, I'll go with you."
No matter how stupid Liu Ting'an was, he could see at this moment that Brother Cui did not seem to be forced or indifferent to his wife.
Obviously I care.
Otherwise, if the lady wants to go back to her parents' home, let her go.
Not only that, I will also accompany you.
His father was quite nice to his mother, but his mother missed her grandparents and wouldn't go back just because she wanted to.
If she went back too often, her grandmother and father would be unhappy, thinking that she was always missing her mother's family.
I usually go back only during holidays.
I never expected Brother Cui to react like this.
He is so good to his wife. He is so good-tempered and easy to talk to. Doesn't he even think twice?
Although Jiang Zhiluo didn't say anything, she felt warm in her heart and couldn't help but smile.
As they were talking, there was a knock on the far door of the fence.
"Is someone coming?"
Liu Ting'an had good hearing. He stood up and looked outside. When he saw a young man at the door, he was stunned.
"No, Brother Cui, do you have other friends?"
Cui Hejin turned his head to look outside, but when he saw the people carrying two large frames at the door, and then saw the wooden jars sticking out from the frames, a dark light flashed across his eyes.
