In the evening, Captain Lu came back from training and saw his wife bringing food to the table from the kitchen. She was in a good mood and even poured him a basin of hot water. Captain Lu washed his face and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Why are you so happy today?"
Cao Rou couldn't say that she was feeling happy in her heart, but she showed sympathy on her face and told her husband that she saw Chen Tuan's wife's eyes red and swollen in the office this morning. She pretended to be sympathetic and said, "I saw that Chen Tuan's wife didn't look very well today. I guess things are not going well! Why do I feel that Chen Tuan and his wife don't have a good relationship?"
Captain Lu had just finished training and was very hungry. He had no time to worry about other people's feelings, so he quickly asked his wife to bring the child to the table for dinner.
However, seeing that his wife kept asking him about the relationship between Chen Tuan and his wife, Captain Lu was not very familiar with Chen Tuan, so how could he know his private affairs.
But everyone in the military region said that the couple had a good relationship. Captain Lu replied, but Cao Rou looked unconvinced and said, "I feel that Chen Tuan and his wife have a pretty average relationship. The last time they went to Zhou's house, Chen Tuan didn't smile at all. He seemed to be impatient with Chen Tuan's wife! I guess they left a long time ago!"
To be honest, she had always suspected that Yang Shuying, a country girl, was able to get together with Chen Tuan with the help of that bastard Chen Yi.
Otherwise, even if Chen Tuan had no background, he was at least transferred from Kyoto, and Yang Shuying was just a country girl. She suspected that Chen Tuan would marry someone just to find a nanny to take care of that bastard Chen Yi!
The more Cao Rou thought about it, the more she felt that it was true. She said, "If Chen Tuan gets divorced in the future, I can introduce my divorced cousin to Chen Tuan! My cousin is good-looking and is especially good at taking care of children!"
Shuying, who was tortured to the point of being unable to get out of bed last night, still didn't realize that someone was worrying about her man's feelings for her and was planning to introduce someone to her man after the divorce.
She was cooking in her own kitchen. Her legs were still soft, sore and tender. If she hadn't been sitting in the office all day and taking a long lunch break at noon, she really wouldn't have had the energy to cook this dinner.
Before cooking, she really intended to keep a low profile and cook less meat dishes so as not to give to her man, but when she really started cooking, she still cooked two meat dishes and one vegetable.
After all, her family has the conditions and she has a golden finger, so there is no need to pinch it. Her husband has a special profession and physical fitness is very important. Her child is at this age and it is time to supplement nutrition. If he lacks nutrition now, no amount of money will be able to make up for it in the future.
However, this time when she was cooking, she closed the doors of the kitchen and the living room tightly, and only opened the doors after the dishes were finished and the aroma had dissipated and she could no longer smell the fragrance.
When Chen Xi came back looking refreshed, he passed by Gao's yard and was stopped by Gao Tuan. He asked curiously, "Chen Tuan, didn't your sister-in-law cook anything good? Why didn't I smell the aroma of your food tonight?"
Before yesterday, the dishes cooked by my brother-in-law and his wife were extremely fragrant.
Gao Tuan looked at him enviously, and Chen Xi pursed his lips to indicate that he had just returned and was not sure.
"Chen Tuan, did your sister-in-law really make spare ribs and stewed fish for you last night?" Gao Tuan asked with a sour and envious look.
"Yeah! My wife loves me!"
Gao Tuan: “…”
It was already time for dinner, and the two hadn't chatted for long when Gao Tuan saw Chen Tuan enter the yard with an expression that was filled with envy.
Until the Gao family sat down to eat dinner, Gao Tuan was telling his wife about what Chen Tuan had just said to him at the doorstep. He said that he finally understood how Deputy Tuan Fang felt when he was scolded by Chen Tuan. He said with emotion that he had seen couples who were happy together before, but never one as happy as this one!
Mrs. Gao also felt that Chen Tuan and Yang Meizi had an extremely good relationship.
The Gao family was more than halfway through their dinner, and the aroma of the Chen family's dishes hadn't wafted over yet. Noticing that the three brothers weren't making a fuss about eating meat, Gao Tuan and his wife breathed a sigh of relief for a moment.
While picking up the food, Mrs. Gao was wondering why she couldn't smell the fragrance of food from Miss Yang's house next door tonight?
But think about it, who can afford to eat two meat dishes every day? Maybe Yang Meizi started to calculate in her mind, and Gao Dasao was completely relieved.
The Fang family next door did not smell the fragrance of the food cooked by the Chen family tonight. Fang's mother and Deputy Headmaster Fang also breathed a sigh of relief, but the happiest person was Xia Lina.
Xia Lina just thought that Yang Shuying, the fox, the fox, the spirit, had spent almost all of Chen Tuan's salary, so she didn't dare to cook any delicious dishes. She felt secretly happy and even ate an extra bowl of dinner.
The Gao and Fang families were having dinner, and the Chen family of three had just sat down to have dinner.
As soon as Chen Xi sat down, he saw two meat dishes and a steamed egg on the table. The steamed egg was a bit fishy. His eyes paused slightly. They were the cooked pork, a bowl of steamed egg, and a pot of lotus root and pork ribs soup.
He couldn't help but look at his wife a few more times, with smiles in his eyes.
Shuying felt a little embarrassed when she was laughed at. After all, last night in front of this man, she had vowed to cook less meat dishes and give him less supplements. Today she cooked two meat dishes again. Isn't this slapping herself in the face?
To be honest, if this man's job didn't require him to go on dangerous missions frequently, she wouldn't have wanted to give him any comfort at all because of the way he had tortured her last night.
So, thinking about how this man had tortured her for almost the entire night last night, she could hardly get out of bed this morning. Shuying felt angry and embarrassed.
Shuying deliberately put on a cold face and ignored the man in front of him, without even giving him a look. She placed the steamed egg in front of Chen Yi and served him a bowl of lotus root and pork ribs soup.
She didn't make the braised pork ribs that the children wanted to eat last night. It would get boring if they ate it every day. The lotus root and pork ribs soup is also delicious and nourishing.
But I compensated Chen Yi with a bowl of steamed egg.
Chen Yi, who hadn't eaten steamed eggs for a long time, had indeed forgotten the braised spareribs that he had been asking for last night, and was eating the egg custard with a spoon.
The tender and smooth egg custard tasted especially good in the mouth. Chen Yi ate it with great relish. Seeing that his aunt only served him soup and dishes, Chen Yi felt particularly happy and looked at his uncle with pride.
But Chen Xi, who had always been ignored by his wife, was jealous. Why did this boy deserve a beating?
Chen Xi took the initiative to serve the lotus root and pork ribs soup to his wife first, with more pork ribs and less lotus root. He then served himself some soup, with more lotus root and less pork ribs.
Shuying glanced at the pork chop soup that had just been served in front of her and her expression eased a little. She drank a few sips of the soup before looking up at the man opposite her. She met his sharp yet gentle eyes and coughed dryly, saying, "Why are you looking at me? You can't eat your fill just by looking at me."
She then quickly asked the man opposite when he just came in, if he could smell the fragrance of her cooking outside?
When he passed by Gao Dasao's house, did Gao Tuan and Gao Dasao say anything to him?
She has already closed the main door of the living room tightly today. If it still affects Mrs. Gao's family, she will not be able to cook more meat dishes in the future.
Shuying was busy looking at her man, but Chen Xi suddenly remembered the time when Gao Tuan, who looked envious, stopped him at the door of Gao's house and asked him why he didn't smell the fragrance of his wife's cooking tonight. He pursed his lips and wanted to smile.
Seeing that his wife was anxious to know, Chen Xi immediately explained the matter briefly, and said that he did not smell any aroma of food when he just entered the yard, so he waited until he entered the main room, and there was a strong aroma of food at home.
Shuying breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered his head and reminded his children that if anyone asked him what they eat at home, they should say that they eat only vegetables!
Chen Xi: “…”
Chen Yi held the rice in his mouth, scooped another spoonful of egg custard into his mouth and swallowed it, then asked with wide eyes: "Did Xiaoyuan's mother ask me the same thing? Auntie?"
"I'll tell you that no matter who asks me!" Shuying nodded. "If you tell me that we only eat meat in the future, Auntie won't cook meat for you anymore. It's not bad for us to eat vegetables every day!"
Chen Yi's little mouth was now spoiled by the appetite cultivated by Shuying. He didn't like eating vegetables very much. He was so scared that he shook his head and said that he would not go out to show off what delicious food his family had in the future.
The shadows of the trees are particularly satisfying.
After instructing the children, Shuying looked up and met her husband's sharp and burning eyes. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she announced to the two children, "From now on, we will change from two meals a day with two meat vegetables each to one meal a day with two meat vegetables. Lunch will have one meat dish and two vegetables, and dinner will have two meat dishes and one vegetable." Fearing that the little ones would be dissatisfied, Shuying used the example of Gao Dasao's family next door, who ate radish, vegetables and sweet potato rice every day. The three Gao brothers did not complain, so Chen Yi did not dare to have any opinions.
Chen Xi had no opinion at all and just listened to his wife.
After the children fell asleep, before the couple went to bed, Chen Xi took out an envelope from his pocket and gave it to her. Shuying thought it was something else, but when she opened the envelope, she found a deposit slip and a lot of tickets, including grain tickets, cloth tickets, oil tickets, and sugar tickets.
Shuying looked at the deposit slip and saw a lot of money. He was surprised and asked, "What is this?"
"This is the living expenses that Chen Duo sent to the child!" Chen Xi replied in a deep voice.
Chen Duo?
Isn't this her husband's biological brother? The biological father of her child?
Shuying was a little confused. When she heard her husband say that his brother had been away on a business trip for work for a while, he just remembered the child and now he was sending the child living expenses.
Shuying had never met her husband's brother, but she could hear some of her husband's dissatisfaction with his brother. Just by listening to her husband's words, she knew that her husband's brother was extremely unreliable, as he only thought about having children after working for so long.
Shuying didn't have to worry about raising a child. After all, her husband was capable and her child was sensible and well-grown. Although the child's biological father hadn't sent her money before, her parents-in-law had given her a lot of support.
But since the child's father sent the money, she accepted it and saved it for the child.
Shuying told her what she meant, and Chen Xi's hard brows softened exceptionally. He hugged her and sat her on his lap and kissed her. Shuying was afraid that this man was too energetic and would torture her again tonight, so she quickly said that her waist, legs and whole body ached.
"I won't touch you tonight, I'll give you a rub!"
