After the slaughtered pork was put into the warehouse, everyone went back to wash up and go to bed one after another. The women in the kitchen also left, leaving only Li Yali washing the pots and pans.
Three dogs squatted at the doorway guarding the kitchen, while two leopard cats lay on the railing, watching Li Yali wash the pots with a peaceful and lazy demeanor.
They have basically been raised to the habits of ordinary domestic cats, and their eyes are usually very gentle, not at all like carnivores that roam the jungle.
Wang Tianxiao took off his dirty clothes and threw them at the door, then went inside and jumped onto the kang (a heated brick bed), leaning against the railing to watch his wife work.
Under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, Li Yali moved swiftly and quickly, wiping the sides of the pot with a cloth made of a loofah. The stove was still burning, casting a shadow on one side of her face and making the other side appear red.
"Are you tired today?" Li Yali asked, taking a moment to glance at her husband.
"Haha, it's alright. I'm a bit tired, but I can still manage," Wang Tianxiao laughed and added, "Besides, everyone is working hard, it's not just me who's tired."
"Yes, everyone has been working very hard lately. The people you found are really good."
"It was also luck. I didn't really look for it, but I unexpectedly ran into it. So it's all about fate, something you can't force."
"Yes, yes, you've done my parents a huge favor by bringing Guanping out. That boy is too honest; if he were left at home, I don't know how he'd ever find a wife."
"Haha, Guanping is a hard worker and honest, which is why he can attract girls. He earned this for himself. I was just a guide, not someone who really helped him."
"You, as my brother-in-law, have always been a great help."
Wang Tianxiao smiled and didn't say anything more. In his heart, he thought about how Li Guanping had suffered all kinds of misfortunes because of this place in his previous life. Although these things had not happened from the perspective of this life, he was still filled with gratitude and sympathy.
He was this kind of person in his past life. Even though he was not doing very well himself, he still did not want to see the people around him doing worse.
Now that he has more power in this life, he naturally hopes that those who have been kind to him can live happy lives and suffer less from human hardship.
This isn't some saintly sentiment; it's just a simple expectation.
"We caught some pigs today, right? Tomorrow when we go to the market, I'll buy some other things, and then we'll go see my aunt and uncle the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"
Li Yali thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, you're very thoughtful. But don't buy too much stuff, it'll be a waste of money."
Li Yali didn't know how much money Wang Tianxiao had, and she was always thinking about saving money for her husband.
When I think about how much the station costs, I realize that my husband has it tough too.
Wang Tianxiao smiled and said, "How much money could this cost? By the way, you don't know our current financial situation. I didn't want you to worry about it before, but now that you're out of maternity leave, I'll hand over the accounting to you. You're the one in charge of our household, right? I'm only responsible for making money, and you're responsible for safekeeping and allocating it. How about that?"
"What money do I need to manage? I only need enough to get by. You should keep it. You can use it whenever you need it. Giving it to me is too much trouble."
"Don't say that. We're family. The money I earn is all ours. You're helping me share some of the burden."
“I don’t have that ability. I can do some housework, but the most money I ever spent before was just a few dollars. Now it’s tens or hundreds of dollars at a time, and I can’t manage that well.”
"No, you're so smart, you learn everything very quickly."
"It still doesn't work..."
After much back and forth, Li Yali still showed no interest in keeping the money safe, and Wang Tianxiao decided not to press the matter further.
If the wife really doesn't want to handle money, that's fine too. He can find someone to manage the accounts later. If the wife wants to be a traditional housewife who supports her husband and raises the children, that's also good.
As long as she's happy.
.
I tossed and turned all night last night, and by the time I finally got to bed, it was already past three o'clock.
Wang Tianxiao felt as soon as he closed his eyes, it was as if the sky had brightened again.
Looking again, his wife was nowhere to be seen; she must have gone to the kitchen to boil water.
He got up and dressed.
Today is market day in Qingquan Town, and he's going to see if Wu Jianye has come yet, so he can settle the matter of the mule from last time.
If Wu Jianye is easy to talk to and obediently returns the money to him, that's fine. But if he doesn't return it, then we'll have to teach that guy a lesson, and we might even have to resort to violence.
Three hundred yuan is a small matter, but treating him like a fool is unforgivable!
After lunch, Wang Tianxiao took Wu Wenhua to the market, waiting for them to come to them.
We must find that old bastard Wu Jianye.
They even betray their own people; they're no good at all.
The two sat down at a snack shop across from the market and ordered two bowls of tofu pudding, two plates of steamed buns, and two fried dough twists.
By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books right now is the .huanyuanapp app (install the latest version).
This is a typical midday meal in Qingcheng.
Lunch in Gyeongseong is a bit different from breakfast in the south. People here don't eat lunch after lunch, and they wait until about 4 pm for their next meal.
So I ate quite a lot at this meal.
Wang Tianxiao added two spoonfuls of chili oil, half a spoonful of salt, and some vinegar to the tofu pudding.
This is how people in Qingcheng eat tofu pudding.
In his previous life, he had also eaten sweet tofu pudding in the south and thought it tasted good; it was just two different ways of eating it.
