Jiang Cuihua was afraid that Chen Jianguo would tell Xu Zhaodi about the vegetable theft. If her elder brother heard it, she would be scolded again.
Jiang Dahai was reading in his room when he heard the sound of Chen Jianguo and his wife arguing in the backyard. He opened the window, stood by the window and asked, "What are you doing?"
Chen Jianguo said: "Can't you see? I'm picking vegetables."
"Give me a cucumber."
"You were late, and it was stolen."
In the living room, Jiang Cuihua was extremely nervous, her heart was beating fast and she felt uneasy.
This is the end of it, the couple is going to tell it out.
Jiang Dahai said: "Who is so dirty that he even steals cucumbers?
Did you catch anyone?"
Chen Jianguo snorted in his heart, isn’t it in your home?
"No."
"Hey, these guys are real."
Jiang Dahai was also speechless. He looked around and said, "But you deserved your vegetables to be stolen. Look at other people's vegetables, they just scatter them randomly, but yours are arranged neatly, just like a military parade. It would be strange if you weren't targeted."
Chen Jianguo took a cucumber from the bucket and threw it to Jiang Dahai: "Eat the cucumber and cover your mouth."
Jiang Dahai smiled and ate the cucumber with a crunchy sound.
"By the way, they've been saying these days that your wife can make green fairy tofu. Is it delicious? Can you make me a bowl of it sometime?"
"You wish."
The two of them were chatting with each other, and Jiang Cuihua stood by the living room window and eavesdropped. She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Chen Jianguo did not say who the thief was.
Never do this kind of thing again in the future.
After Chen Jianguo picked the bitter melons, he left the backyard carrying the bucket and cloth bag. Jiang Cuihua then went to the bathroom to wash clothes for Jiang Xiaobao.
When Chen Jianguo entered the room, Xu Zhaodi was still leaning against the living room window. She smiled appraisingly and said, "Did you see the thief?"
Chen Jianguo couldn't hide it anymore, so he said guiltily, "I saw it."
"Do you believe what I say now?"
"believe."
Xu Zhaodi knew what he was thinking and didn't ask any more questions.
"Go wash the chayote."
“I’m afraid we can’t finish all the food.”
"Who said we're going to eat it? Wash it, cut it in half, and marinate it with salt. I'll get some soy sauce and vinegar when I come back tomorrow. We'll make pickles and save them for winter meals."
When Chen Jianguo heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go wash it right away."
Xu Zhaodi took a chopping board and a kitchen knife, placed them on the table in the living room, and sat down to cut all the eggplants into strips and hung them on the balcony to dry.
When Chen Jianguo came out, he was holding a full pot of chayote.
He is so tired of eating this thing that the yield from planting one can feed an entire village.
"Wife, why are you cutting so many eggplants?"
“Dry it in the sun and store it. You can use it to make steamed buns or dumplings in the winter.”
Chen Jianguo couldn't help but look at her one more time. His wife was so virtuous and capable that she had almost dried enough vegetables for the winter in advance.
Chen Jianguo couldn't help himself, and bent down to give Xu Zhaodi a kiss on the cheek.
"Stay away from me, I have a kitchen knife in my hand."
Chen Jianguo chuckled and sat aside to cut all the chayote into pieces, sprinkled salt on the cut surfaces and marinated them.
Under the dim light in the room, the picture of the couple together is warm and healing.
When Jiang Dahai went into the kitchen to pour himself some water, his eyes fell on the vegetable basket on the floor. He saw the not very big cucumbers and green and red tomatoes in it, and looked puzzled.
No one has been going into town to buy groceries recently, and no one is growing tomatoes or cucumbers in their backyards.
Also, the cabbages I planted at home were too dense and never grew this big.
So... where do these dishes come from?
Jiang Dahai roughly guessed it and his brows frowned instantly.
Recalling his conversation with Chen Jianguo, he raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.
He was still cursing in front of people, but what was the point of cursing? Wasn't the thief right under his nose?
This thief is either his wife or his sister.
If people knew about this, he would have no place to put his face.
Jiang Dahai came out of the kitchen angrily, and the lights in Jiang Cuihua and Jiang Xiaobao's room were off.
Jiang Dahai went back to the bedroom angrily. Feng Xiujuan was still knitting clothes for him. He suddenly got angry. Feng Xiujuan asked, "Who made you angry again?"
"I asked you, did you go out this afternoon?"
Hearing the question, Feng Xiujuan paused.
"No, what did you hear? I've been so sleepy and pregnant that I don't have any energy at all. How can I have time to gossip with others?
I'm telling you, I haven't said anything during this period, so don't try to throw dirty water on me."
Jiang Dahai thought about it carefully and it seemed that it was not her.
Then it's just her.
well……
This sister is so pitiful, and he really doesn't want to blame her anymore.
When you have time, tap her ear.
After Xu Zhaodi finished her work, she lay on the bed. Chen Jianguo came over, put his arms around her waist, and put his big hands on her belly.
"Does your stomach still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore, go to sleep."
Xu Zhaodi was afraid that he would do something reckless, but fortunately he knew his limits and did not do anything reckless.
In the county hospital, Jiang Wan lay in bed for a whole day. The young nurse was warm and considerate, and helped her go to the toilet several times. Not a living person could be suffocated to death by holding their urine.
Zhang Qingdong went to the school dormitory to help Jiang Wan pack her things. He put the things in the car and made dinner for Jiang Wan as soon as he arrived at the ward.
Jiang Wan's right arm was so broken and swollen that it hurt whenever he lifted his arm.
She pretended to be strong yesterday, but last night she thought, isn't this a good opportunity to bring them closer?
Jiang Wan saw the rice in the enamel jar and cried out.
Zhang Qingdong was worried that she might feel uncomfortable somewhere else, so he asked nervously, "What's wrong?
Where does it hurt? "
"My arm hurts and I can't eat."
Zhang Qingdong saw through her little thoughts at a glance.
"Okay, I'll feed you."
Jiang Wan smiled sweetly, and suddenly felt that the fall was worth it.
Jiang Wan said coquettishly: "Please don't go back tonight, I'm scared."
Zhang Qingdong was helpless, but he still spoiled her.
"You, you, you're a girl, aren't you afraid of people gossiping about you?"
"I'm not afraid. We're going to get married anyway."
Zhang Qingdong paused with the knife in his hand, and seeing her satisfied face, he couldn't bear to tell her the truth and irritate her at this critical moment.
With Zhang Qingdong around, Jiang Wan had a particularly good appetite and ate up all the rice in the lunch box.
When it was time to get lunch, there was only one dish of fried potato and eggplant and one dish of cold cucumber left.
There were chopped green onions in the cold cucumber salad, but if I remember correctly, she doesn't eat chopped green onions.
Zhang Qingdong asked, "I remember you didn't like eating chopped green onions before."
"Everyone's taste changes. When I go out, my mom reminds me that it's not like home. Even if I don't like the food, I have to learn to accept it. No one will spoil me."
Jiang Wan said this very confidently, but Zhang Qingdong felt uncomfortable listening to it.
She was a favored daughter of heaven, but she came here to suffer for her own sake.
Is it worth it?
