Someone came, but she was too lazy to open the door.
Last night her husband told her that the neighbor might come to visit today. This morning she learned from her husband that the neighbor Chen Tuan married a country girl, who was not an important person anyway, so she was too lazy to open the door.
"What's the matter?"
Fang Boran looked at his wife like this, how could he not know what was going on? He said, "Neighbors should still give her some face! After all, her husband is Chen Tuan!"
The two had just gotten married and she didn't know Chen Xi. Although Chen Tuan was transferred back from the Kyoto Military Region, Fang Boran still didn't dare to underestimate him.
After all, he was suppressed and crushed by the opponent at that time. Who didn't say that Chen Xi had a bright future?
Fang Boran's wife is Xia Lina, a city girl. After hearing what Fang Boran said, she quickly picked up the cucumbers on her face and said impatiently, "Okay, I get it." At the same time, she was picky about which dishes she wanted to eat.
Fang Boran also nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go to the cafeteria to get food!"
Before leaving, Fang Boran asked again if she really hadn't seen the new daughter-in-law next door today?
"Fang Boran, why are you so curious about the rural wife next door? Are you interested in the new wife next door?" Xia Lina looked at him with some anger and suspicion.
"Don't say that, how is that possible!" He asked because he was curious about what Chen Tuan's new wife looked like.
Today he just heard that Chen Tuan actually married a country girl, and the image of a big, sturdy, ordinary and simple country girl flashed through his mind.
Comparing his wife's beautiful and fair face to hers, Fang Boran felt more and more sorry for Chen Tuan. However, in his heart, he was still very happy that he could surpass Chen Tuan in marriage.
Xia Lina said that, but in her heart she still believed that after Fang Boran had her, he would not be interested in the new bride from the next country.
As Fang Boran walked out of the yard, he smelled the delicious food from next door. It seemed that the rural wife Chen Tuan married was quite good at cooking.
But Fang Boran was not jealous at all. He thought, what's the point of Chen Tuan having sex with an ordinary, dark-skinned country girl every night?
It's a pity that he has such a good physique.
In all the physical and field trainings in the military region in the past, Chen Tuan always took the lead. I don’t know how many times he can come at night.
Fang Boran shook his head, didn't think much, and walked out.
Shuying didn't know that someone was worried about how many times her man had sex at night. At least when she was making dinner now, her legs were still shaking and sore.
Hearing the noise outside the door, Shuying estimated that her man was most likely back.
For dinner, Shuying cooked white noodles. She and the child ate the noodles in medium bowls, and the man ate in an extra large bowl.
Boiled white noodles with cabbage, and a fried egg in each bowl.
Shuying wanted to add some meat, but unfortunately she didn't go shopping so it was difficult to get the meat out.
As Shuying was thinking, she saw her husband carrying four large bags of plastic bags in and placing them in a very small warehouse of a few square meters in the backyard.
Shuying asked hurriedly: "What is this?"
When Shuying learned from the man that these bags were all food and rice that he had bought in the county town, he asked in surprise, "Did you go to the county town today?"
Chen Xi put a few bags of food in the warehouse and returned to the main room. He said that he was only free today. After completing the procedures this morning, he would have to return to the team tomorrow. He would have less free time in the future.
So, he took advantage of his free time to go to the county town to buy some things in order to reduce the burden on his wife as much as possible.
The town market and the village are not far away, but there are many things missing at home, and his wife can't carry them back by herself.
Shuying was particularly happy to learn that he had also bought a lot of vegetables, including meat and fish, and hurriedly followed him out to get them.
When they walked out the door, Shuying found that the man not only bought vegetables, but also bought a sewing machine and a bicycle. She opened her mouth in disbelief.
The man said, "I don't have the sewing plane ticket here. I took it from your closet this morning. As for the sewing machine and bicycle, they were the betrothal gifts we promised you."
With a bicycle, it will be convenient for his wife to go to the town market in the future.
Chen Xi also mentioned that he went to the county seat today and sent two telegrams to his family in Kyoto and Hongyangshe to inform them that they had arrived at the military area.
After listening to this, Shuying was amazed at how powerful this man was.
After explaining all this, Chen Xi only let her carry the light vegetables and the sewing machine into the next room. He then parked the bicycle in the yard and let her try it out.
He chose a shorter women's bicycle, and the tree shadow man sat on the bicycle seat with his feet on the ground, just right.
This ladies' bicycle is not like the bulky one her family bought originally, she can ride it.
How can this man be so considerate?
She said before that it was a blessing for her daughter to marry her second brother. Now she really feels that she is enjoying a blessing after marrying this man.
You don't have to worry about anything. This man is ten thousand times better than those men who just sit back and let women do all the work and worry.
After unloading all the groceries and practicing driving with his wife for a while, Chen Xi went to the military area to return the car and said he would be back soon.
"Wait!" Shuying took a new towel from the kitchen and wiped the man's sweat. Since the man was so good to her, she had to feel sorry for him. She said, "Go home early, dinner is almost ready!"
Chen Xi nodded and was about to leave when a little tail came out of the master bedroom and hugged his legs with a gloomy face.
Chen Xi patted his head and said, "Uncle will be back soon! Be good!"
Chen Xi was still very majestic in Chen Yi's heart. He wanted to complain but was a little afraid of his uncle. The food cooked by the woman in the kitchen just now was so delicious.
He is very hungry.
After the man left, Chen Yi squatted at the gate of the yard and watched his uncle go out.
The pitiful appearance of the 'husband-waiting rock' made Shuying want to laugh, but then she thought of how the boy had kept calling her a 'bad woman' during the day.
Shuying decided to use his special skills to make some noodles with stewed meat.
If this boy can really resist the urge to eat tonight, she will really respect him as a little man!
It is so delicious to put a layer of minced meat on the boiled noodles.
Shuying hurried back to the kitchen, took out a piece of pork belly, washed it, cut it into cubes, and then fried it with some oil. After the pork belly released some oil, he started to stir-fry. For a while, the kitchen was full of the aroma of burnt meat.
Add salt and oil, continue stir-frying, the aroma fills the air, and Shuying tastes it and it's very delicious.
The young fellow who had been squatting at the main room door acting as a 'husband-waiting stone' had secretly stood at the kitchen door at some point, with his little face leaning against the door, trying to take a peek fearing that he would be discovered. When he saw that no one had discovered him, he leaned against the door again, swallowing his saliva.
Shuying scooped half of the meat onto the table. She didn't forget that her husband liked spicy food, so she added some bean paste to the other half and continued to stir-fry. The browned meat immediately turned red, and the kitchen was filled with spicy aroma.
Shuying tasted it and found it tasted very good.
The aroma of Shuying's cooking wafted to the two neighboring courtyards. Fang Boran and Xia Lina, who had just returned from the cafeteria and were eating dinner, had no appetite. Smelling the aroma from next door, they could hardly eat.
As for Mrs. Gao and her family, they smelled the fragrance of the dishes from next door and wondered in their hearts why the food cooked by Mrs. Chen Tuan next door was so delicious.
She had smelled the aroma of cooking many times in the military area, but it was never as fragrant as the one from Chen Tuan's family. She didn't know what they were cooking.
But looking at the one at Captain Chen's house making pancakes today, he is really good at sewing.
Gao Zhigao and Gao Yuan were eating sweet potatoes from home along with the cabbage fried by their mother, with sad faces. In their hearts, they were envious of the little brother who came to their house to play in the morning.
Captain Gao couldn't sit still after smelling the delicious food from next door.
However, he just tasted the pumpkin cakes that Shuying sent to the Gao family in the morning. After tasting one, he thought it tasted very good even though he didn't like sweet things very much. His mouth was filled with fragrance. He hurriedly asked Mrs. Gao, "Where did this come from? How come the chef's cooking skills in the cafeteria have improved so much today?"
Before Gao Dasao replied, Gao Zhi, the oldest, said, "Dad, this is the food that Aunt Yang sent to our family this morning! She sent a lot, including egg cakes!"
Captain Gao hurriedly asked his wife what was going on.
Mrs. Gao said that she had sent some dishes to the new daughter-in-law next door, but she didn't expect that the Chen Tuan family would give such an expensive gift in return.
I received six pumpkin pancakes and four egg cakes.
The three brats ate up all the egg cakes.
The four of them each ate one pumpkin pancake. It was really delicious. It had red bean paste filling and a lot of sugar.
Look, there are two left for him to eat.
Captain Gao learned that it was sent by the new daughter-in-law of Chen Tuan next door. He had a good impression of the new daughter-in-law of Chen Tuan. However, how could he think that a country girl was worthy of the promising and capable Chen Tuan?
Mrs. Gao knew what her husband was thinking, so she said hurriedly, "Old Gao, you don't know that the one from Chen Tuan's family is so pretty. The face of the wife from the Fang Fu Tuan family next door is not even as pretty as that of Chen Tuan's family. She looks so fair and tender, even a woman like me can't help staring at her!"
After Gao's wife finished speaking, the youngest Gao Yuan also said, "Dad, Aunt Yang is so beautiful. I saw her today. Why am I not Aunt Yang's son? Aunt Yang is beautiful and she is also good at cooking. When I grow up, I want to find a daughter-in-law like Aunt Yang who is beautiful and can cook!"
Gao Yuan was patted on the head by Mrs. Gao, who said, "What's wrong? Do you dislike your mother? Why don't you leave the table and see if your aunt Yang is willing to have you as her son?"
Captain Gao was really surprised and a little bit unbelieving. She looked better than Deputy Captain Fang's family? Deputy Captain Fang's family was famous for being good-looking in the military area.
Otherwise, how could Fang Boran be so pampered to his wife?
Shuying sat down and brought out two small bowls of meat stew on the table in the main room. The kid who heard the noise at the door hurried to the door.
Shuying pursed her lips and smiled, deliberately picked up a piece of non-spicy meat with chopsticks, blew it cool and fed it to his lips: "Do you want to taste the cooking skills of my aunt?"
Before, Chen Yi could still barely resist the pumpkin pie, but now facing the fragrant meat flavor, Chen Yi had no resistance at all. When he came to his senses, he had already wolfed down all the meat flavor on the chopsticks.
After tasting it, Chen Yi's eyes suddenly widened. His mouth was full of the aroma of burnt meat. It was so delicious that he could swallow it with his tongue.
Unfortunately, there was very little meat flavor in the chopsticks, and he swallowed it without chewing it for a while, but he still wanted to eat more.
“Is it delicious?”
Chen Yi hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
"Do you still want to eat?"
Chen Yi nodded without hesitation.
"Do you still dare to call me a bad woman?"
Chen Yi said nothing.
At this time, Chen Xi returned the car, and Shu Ying hurriedly asked him to wash his hands. She also said that dinner was ready and he could eat after washing his hands.
While Chen Xi was washing his hands, Shu Ying deliberately said, "Okay, since you're silent, it seems like you don't want to eat the food I cooked. Then I'll eat with your uncle first."
Shuying stood up and went back to the main room. Chen Yi hurriedly pulled her back and whispered, "Will you always make delicious food for me in the future?"
"Of course!"
"Will you be like my stepmother, who treats me well at first, but then beats me secretly when my dad is not at home?" Without waiting for Shuying to say anything, Chen Yi said viciously, "If you dare to beat me, I will tell my grandma. My grandma said that my dad divorced that bad woman. If you want to beat me, I will also let my uncle leave you!"
Shuying really didn't expect this to happen. It was strange that she was in a good mood after being called a "bad woman" by the child before. She thought that the child's stepmother treated him harshly, but she didn't expect that his stepmother dared to hit him.
No wonder he was always so alert and vigilant every time he saw her. She was surprised at how a little kid could be so wary.
Shuying felt very uncomfortable at this moment. She couldn't imagine how an adult woman could do such a small child. She quickly hugged the child and said, "If I don't hit you, I will make delicious food for you in the future! If I hit you, you can tell your uncle, okay?"
Chen Yi was seldom held by anyone, and most of his memories are of his stepmother scolding him as a "bastard" and beating him.
Her body and face were a little stiff, and her cheeks and ears were red. She wanted to push the person away but couldn't bear to.
He decided to give the bad woman a chance!
Shuying took the boy's hand and said, "Let's go have dinner!"
