Chen Baoguo knew that after returning to the city this time, he would have work as a landmine.
In Chenjia Village, Chen Dazhuang was elected as the captain of the first team.
Last year, Chenjia Village had a good harvest, and the amount of grain distributed before the New Year was more than in previous years.
There should be a good harvest this year as well.
Ever since Chen Xiaohong came back, Chen Baoguo felt more and more that life would only get harder and harder.
It won't get worse.
After Chen Baoguo came back, he started working in the fields, leaving Zhang Cuihua at home to take care of Chen Xiaohong.
After waiting for more than a month, when Chen Xiaohong's legs and ribs were almost healed, he would set off to join his elder brother.
The restaurant was closed for three days. When Tian Wenjun came to work, the door had been cleaned up and the blood that had flowed from Fugui's body was no longer visible. It seemed that someone had deliberately dealt with it.
As soon as Tian Wenjun came in, she heard He Damei's voice.
"This guy Fugui was not chopped to death. He is really lucky."
Zhang Guilan said: "I will be disabled for the rest of my life. It is better to be hacked to death than to live.
Now his wife has left the child behind and returned to her parents' home, and his parents, who are old, have to take care of the child.
He himself is not doing well, and he ruined his family."
He Damei said: "These two are really shameless. They didn't do it in the restaurant before, but they flirted with each other.
This Niu Xiaohong is quite capable. Her husband is in prison and her adulterer is disabled. The person who committed the crime has nothing and no morals at all."
Zhang Guilan said: "It is her husband who is wronged."
The two of them were chattering away. He Damei turned around to look at Tian Wenjun, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.
"Wenjun, you're here. Is it time?"
"A lot."
He Damei originally wanted to say that she was in poor health, but the words did not come out of her mouth.
Tian Wenjun asked: "Are you going to make breakfast today?"
Zhang Guilan said: “I won’t make breakfast, I guess no one will be here these two days.
I don’t know why the beginning of this year seems to be like business.”
He Damei said: "Maybe the weather is not warm yet."
Tian Wenjun calculated carefully in his mind. In fact, this restaurant did not make much money in a year, but it was still a place to work.
They are indeed quite free these days.
He Damei took Tian Wenjun aside and talked a lot about the stories of Fugui and Niu Xiaohong.
Throughout the whole day, there was no one in the store except for a few people from other units who came to eat at noon.
Another good news this year is that people in the city no longer have to participate in the Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside campaign.
This also means that the era of educated youth is coming to an end.
The educated youth who have connections will also return to the city one after another this year.
Tian Wenjun thought that she wouldn't be able to work in this store for many more years.
But it doesn't matter, everything is the best arrangement.
After Chen Jianguo came back, he thought that the chicken on the balcony was still tied up. His wife had caught a cold in the past two days, so it was time to nourish her body.
As soon as he came back, he grabbed the old hen and went into the kitchen. He cut with the knife and the chicken died before it could even react.
He scalded the chicken, plucked it carefully, and prepared it thoroughly.
After processing, chop the chicken into small pieces and blanch it in water to remove the fishy smell.
After that, change the water, put it in the pot, add salt, ginger, and peppercorns and simmer it slowly.
He went to the cafeteria to get a portion of rice and planned to eat at home, but he saw Zhang Qingdong sitting alone in the corner, looking dazed and somewhat pitiful.
He walked over and sat in front of Zhang Qingdong. Seeing that he looked distracted, he smiled and said, "Are you missing your wife?"
"Go away, stop joking."
"Oh, then you just don't want to."
"Oh, you already know everything and yet you still ask."
Chen Jianguo smiled and lowered his head to eat.
Zhang Qingdong had no appetite at all. He poured out the rice in his lunch box and said, "We usually go to the provincial capital for a meeting at this time. How come there seems to be no notice this year?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Just miss your wife if you want to. There's nothing shameful about that."
"Can you please stop stabbing me in the heart? It's really unbearable to live alone.
Let me ask you, how did you insist on sleeping separately from your wife before? "
Chen Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "I forgot."
When they first got married, things weren't going very well.
It's not that he forgot, he just didn't want to mention it.
Zhang Qingdong just wanted to clear his mind, it was the same whether he answered or not.
He thought of the chicken soup simmering on the stove at home and said, "Oh no, I almost forgot about it.
I have a child at home, so I will go back first."
"Are you done yet?"
When Zhang Qingdong looked up, Chen Jianguo had disappeared.
He picked at the rice and muttered, "Meeting, no meeting, meeting, no meeting..."
Chen Jianguo ran back and saw that the fire was low and the chicken soup was cooking slowly.
After he finished his meal, he washed the clothes that the two of them had taken off and hung them on the balcony. Several women in the yard saw this scene and all looked envious.
Jiang Cuihua was also downstairs. The women laughed and said, "Captain Chen is simply the model man in our compound. My wife doesn't even help me clean up the dishes, let alone wash clothes."
"My husband is the same. He won't do my laundry either."
Jiang Cuihua was holding little Mulan and saw the scene when she looked up.
She grinned and looked away: "They are a couple who help each other and make progress together. How can we ordinary people compare to them?"
"Hey, Sister Cuihua, didn't you dislike Tian Wenjun before? Why are you still speaking in her favor now?"
"Of course not. He's so capable and outstanding. What's wrong with praising him more?"
The women smiled. They were not surprised at all that Jiang Cuihua's attitude had changed.
This time, Sister Jiang Cuihua and her child are safe and sound, thanks to Tian Wenjun's help.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that last year, Jiang Cuihua was interested in Captain Chen, but this year, she seemed to have lost interest in him and was even more attracted to Tian Wenjun.
The voices of the women were not very loud, but Chen Jianguo on the balcony could hear them with his sharp ears and eyes.
Chen Jianguo felt relieved when Jiang Cuihua said this.
He didn't want his wife to be talked about.
He stewed chicken soup at noon so that he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble when his wife came back in the afternoon.
He also threw seven or eight red dates in it and turned off the fire before going to the training ground in the afternoon.
Tian Wenjun got off work around four in the afternoon. The last time someone was stabbed in front of the restaurant, the whole county was in an uproar. The restaurant's business was also affected, and no one came for a while.
Zhang Guilan asked everyone to finish their meal early, then closed the shop and went home.
I don’t know how many educated youth in the entire county were admitted to universities last year. In any case, the restaurant business this year has been affected to some extent.
When Tian Wenjun came back and just entered the yard, she saw Chen Jianguo and Jiang Dahai standing in front of her.
Jiang Dahai joked, "My sister said that at noon many women in the compound saw you washing clothes for your wife. Now your reputation as a henpecked husband is confirmed."
