Chapter 15
Wen Yue picked out a pure white loose shirt and flared jeans from her new clothes. The material of the clothes and pants was quite good, and they were quite comfortable to wear, and they were no less beautiful than the clothes that cost a few hundred yuan in later generations.
Wen Yue put her long hair up behind her head, took a comfortable bath and put on new clothes.
The shirt was a bit long, so she rolled it up twice and tied a knot at the waistline.
This was a way of dressing that was once popular in later generations, which made the body look 3:7 and the legs appear longer.
Wen Yue rolled up the towel and walked out: "I'm done."
"After washing..." Zhou Yao raised his eyelids and looked over. The rest of the words were stuck in his throat. A barely perceptible surprise flashed in his dark eyes.
The little girl smiled with bright eyes and white teeth. She stood gracefully under the light, her hair shining.
Seeing Zhou Yao staring at her, Wen Yue walked in front of him and turned around, then asked with a playful look in her eyes, "How is it? Does it look good?"
Although she is thin, she has all the meat where it should be.
She had just finished taking a shower, and the heat from her body mixed with the scent of soap washed over my face.
Zhou Yao felt a little dry from the heat, his muscles tensed unconsciously, his dark eyes flickered for a while before he spoke unnaturally: "...Not bad."
He touched the tip of his nose and said, "You look quite new in this outfit."
"It looks good, doesn't it?" Wen Yue's eyes sparkled, and her expression was a little smug. "Okay, then I'll go back to bed. You should also go to bed early after you finish washing. Good night."
She waved her hand and yawned as she walked into the house.
Zhou Yao whispered good night, stood there for a while, turned around and took out the wooden bucket. He was too lazy to scoop hot water, so he carried the bucket of cold water directly into the small compartment.
…
The next day, Zhou Yao got up very early.
The sky outside the window was still as dark as ink, and the moon was still hanging gently on the branches of the trees.
With obvious sleepiness on his face, he sat on the bed, yawned, squinted his eyes, picked up the clothes beside him and put them on, got out of bed, turned on the light, opened the door and went into the kitchen.
After washing up, I sat down in front of the stove, picked up the dry grass, lit it and put it into the stove.
The orange-red flames quickly jumped and spread in the dark pupils.
The firelight hit my face and the temperature began to rise.
Zhou Yao picked up a bundle of dry firewood listlessly, feeling like a fool for getting up so early just to have breakfast.
That's what I think.
He still threw the dry firewood in his hand into the stove, stood up, took out the chicken soup that he had not finished last night, put it in the pot, and added water.
Bring the water to a boil, cook the noodles until soft, then scoop them into a bowl and add the chicken soup in the pot.
The smell woke Zhou Yao up immediately.
He washed his hands and ate the noodles in two or three bites. The greasy feeling from waking up early disappeared, and he washed the dishes with hot water in a good mood.
Just after washing, Zhou Yao paused.
Now the troublemaker at home is still not awake, why does he wash his hands and wash the dishes with hot water! ?
Zhou Yao felt that something was really wrong with his brain. He put the dishes back into the cupboard, then quickly turned off the lights and closed the door as if he was being chased by something, and left the yard into the pitch-black night.
He held a flashlight in his hand and rushed to the village entrance.
Two figures, one tall and one short, stood at the entrance of the village.
Ren Yeliang looked at Zhou Yao in confusion: "Brother, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Did a dog bite you?"
Zhou Yao glared at him with a sour look on his face: "It's none of your business, let's go."
Ren Yeliang was not angry even though he was criticized. He raised his hand to hold the taciturn Fang Shitao, stretched his neck and talked to Zhou Yao with a laugh.
The three of them walked along the bumpy road at the entrance of the village.
Their Hongshan Village is located between a town and the county seat, and it takes the same amount of time to get to either place. However, there are many cars in the county seat, so they always go to the county seat, which only takes more than an hour if they walk quickly.
It was just dawn when they arrived at the county town. Zhou Yao walked to a pork shop with ease and bought a few pounds of pork.
"Xiao He will come to pick it up later. Let him deliver it to my house." Zhou Yao said to the boss.
The boss cut the meat neatly and said, "Okay, don't worry."
He obviously knew Zhou Yao, and his tone sounded very familiar.
"Brother, I bought it for my sister-in-law." Ren Yeliang leaned over and said with a grin.
Zhou Yao glanced at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense."
Ren Yeliang: "Brother and sister-in-law have a really good relationship, don't you agree, Lao Fang?"
Fang Shitao nodded innocently and agreed: "Yes, yes."
Zhou Yao was too lazy to bother with them, so he turned around and walked towards the county station to catch the bus to the city.
-
When Wen Yue woke up, it was already bright outside.
Today, it was a rare occasion that I didn’t hear any roosters crowing. I slept very comfortably and felt refreshed.
She put on her shoes and went out, took out the key Zhou Yao had left in the window, opened the kitchen, scooped some water to brush her teeth and wash her face. She also checked to see if the leftover chicken soup from last night was still there.
Well, not anymore.
Then just boil two eggs.
Wen Yue was standing under the eaves outside the kitchen brushing her teeth, unconsciously repeating the movements of her hands, her thoughts drifting away.
The weather was very good today. After dinner, she took the sheets from her and Zhou Yao's room out to dry them, and then went to make bread dumplings for lunch and dinner.
...Wait, there’s no meat at home.
She suddenly remembered that she had made braised pork yesterday and there was no meat left at home!
Then you can only eat hand-rolled noodles.
Wen Yue spit out the foam in her mouth and rinsed her mouth.
Just as I put the quilt in the room on the clothes drying rack, I heard a young man's voice from outside the yard: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you home?"
Wen Yue: “?”
Is that her you're calling?
Not sure? Listen again.
"Sister-in-law!" The young man patted the gate and shouted, "Sister-in-law, Brother Yao asked me to deliver something here."
Wen Yue blinked and responded loudly: "Coming."
She patted the quilt, walked to the gate, opened it and looked out.
Standing outside the yard was a thin young man with ordinary looks and a bright smile on his face.
His gaze fell on Wen Yue, his smile froze, and his eyes were full of surprise.
The woman in front of me was wearing a white shirt, with her hair tied up behind her head, and a few strands of hair falling by her ears, swaying slightly. She had her eyes tilted, her pupils were bright, and there was a smile on the corners of her lips, looking particularly gentle and beautiful.
The young man was stuck in his tracks.
"Zhou Yao asked you to bring me something?" Wen Yue asked softly.
The young man woke up from a dream and swallowed his saliva: "Yes, yes, Brother Yao asked me to give these to you. They contain vegetables that Brother Yao bought."
He held up the bag in his hand which looked heavy.
Wen Yueyan smiled and took the things from the other person: "Thank you, please make the trip."
"No, you're welcome." The young man's cheeks flushed red and he even stuttered when he spoke.
Oh my god, my sister-in-law is so beautiful.
It’s all thanks to Brother Yao, not only is he a great man, but he also married such a beautiful wife.
He blushed and said, "I'll go first, sister-in-law. If you need anything, come and find me. My home is in the village near the cornfield. You should know that."
Wen Yue didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.
Which one is the one near the cornfield?
I don’t know, never mind, just nod first.
Wen Yue took the things back to the kitchen, opened the bag and took a look.
It contained about three or four pounds of pork, a processed fish, and the rest were vegetables, including celery.
Perfect for making celery and pork dumplings!
After cleaning, I started kneading the dough, rolling out the dumpling skins and preparing the fillings. I spent the afternoon reading.
Wen Yue planned her time very clearly.
-
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was afternoon.
Zhou Yao packed up and prepared to go home.
Ren Yeliang said, "Brother, it's still early, shall we go back now?"
Zhou Yao raised his eyelids and glanced at him calmly. His tone was calm, but he revealed a sense of boasting for no reason: "Well, your sister-in-law asked me to go back early. She is still waiting for me at home."
Ren Yeliang, who was suddenly fed a mouthful of dog food, said: "..."
Seeing his brother's raised eyebrows, Ren Yeliang said with a smile: "It's different after getting married, brother. Before, I asked you to go home early, but you said why go home so early, since you have nothing to do at home anyway."
Zhou Yao clicked his tongue, turned his wrist and said, "Are you feeling itchy lately?"
Ren Yeliang immediately raised his hands in surrender: "Sorry, brother, let's go home, we have to go home now, we can't let my sister-in-law wait too long."
Fang Shitao watched with amusement for a long time, and then packed up the things in front of him in a simple and honest manner.
"By the way, Boss Sun said they are going to the capital tomorrow." Ren Yeliang packed his things casually, "Should we take anything else with us?"
Zhou Yao lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "No, we'll talk about it later."
He still doesn't understand what the situation is in the capital.
Ren Yeliang always listened to his brother. He nodded and said with a look of longing: "Okay, brother, when do you think we can go to the capital or Shencheng to take a look?"
Zhou Yao was not interested in this topic at the moment. He looked at him and asked, "Why, do you have money now?"
Ren Yeliang chuckled and said, "I saved a little."
"Let's talk about it later." Zhou Yao snorted without comment.
The three of them set out on their journey home.
It takes two and a half hours to take the bus back to the county town. It is completely dark when we arrive there. There are no tricycles in the county town at this point, so we can only walk home.
Zhou Yaogang, Ren Yeliang and Fang Shitao walked out of the station. Less than two minutes after they walked forward, they suddenly heard the voice of a middle-aged man behind them.
"Xiao Yao? Is it Xiao Yao?"
Zhou Yao subconsciously turned his head and met the eyes of the middle-aged man behind him. His brows wrinkled instantly, and he stopped walking with a blank expression:
"Uncle Chen? Aren't you in Shencheng? When did you come back?"
"I thought you looked like me when I saw your back, but I didn't expect it to be you." Chen Wuming walked over with a smile, "I came back to visit my relatives. I just arrived yesterday. I was planning to go to Cun Village to look for you in two days, but I didn't expect to run into you here."
Zhou Yao smiled perfunctorily: "Uncle Chen, what do you want to talk to me about?"
It was too dark and the street lights on both sides of the street were not bright enough.
Chen Wuming didn't notice the strange expression on the young man's face, and said with a smile: "I heard that you got married, where is your wife from? Is she from that family?"
"Yes, that's right." Zhou Yao said concisely.
Chen Wuming said with emotion: "After getting married, you should start a career... It's too late today, and I have things to do in the next few days. Next week, next Tuesday, I will go to Hongshan Village to talk to you! Now I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first!"
Zhou Yao frowned even more tightly, wanting to refuse, but thinking of the other party's temper, it would be useless to refuse, so he could only suppress his irritation and said, "Uncle Chen, please go to Lao Fang's house next Tuesday. I'll wait for you there."
Ren Yeliang interrupted: "Yes, Lao Fang and I will get some wine, and we can drink and chat."
Chen Wuming was obviously very happy and responded repeatedly: "Okay!"
