Chapter 77



The door of the courtyard was knocked on and Shuying hurried to open it.

She just hoped that no one would notice the marks on her neck.

But when she opened the door, she saw Gao Yuan, the youngest son of Mrs. Gao who lived next door.

Xiao Gaoyuan's skin is a little dark, but his chubby appearance is still very cute.

Shuying was just wondering if the child was looking for her child to play with, when she heard the child say, "Aunt Yang, do you need a son? Can I be your son in the future?"

Shuying was confused and blinked, thinking he had heard it wrongly.

Then the young man continued, "Aunt Yang, your food is so delicious. If I became your son, would I be able to eat your cooking like Chen Yi?"

As soon as Gao Yuan finished speaking, Mrs. Gao came out from the next yard with a rattan stick in her hand.

When Gao Yuan saw his mother coming out with a rattan stick, he nimbly slipped into Chen's house with his small body.

Shuying hurriedly stopped Mrs. Gao and said, "Mrs. Gao, the child has done nothing wrong. He just came to play with my child!"

Mrs. Gao didn't believe it and shouted into the courtyard, "You little bastard, get out of here. If you don't come out, I'll have your father beat you with a belt in the evening!"

Now everyone is starving, but this kid dares to go to other people's homes to ask for food. Did she short him of food or what? I'll see if she doesn't teach this brat a lesson soon.

This brat needs to be punished.

Unfortunately, the little guy had already run into the main room and sat with Chen Yi, chattering away.

Mrs. Gao was very embarrassed. She wanted to rush in and take the brat out directly, but was stopped by Sister Yang.

Shuying said, "Sister Gao, let Xiaoyuan have some fun with my Xiaoyi. I'll take him back later. It just so happens that my Xiaoyi doesn't have many friends."

Since they came to the military area, the young man has no friends and he is a mixed-race, so she is worried about letting him go.

But I have to stay at home with her all the time. It would be fine if a girl stayed at home with her all the time, but it is not good for a boy to be confined all the time. It is good to have a playmate.

After hearing what Sister Yang said, Sister Gao didn't want to go in and pick up the child. She just told her to listen to what the child asked her for food and not to pay any attention to him.

"I understand, sister-in-law! Don't worry, I will send the child back when the time comes." Shuying said.

She agreed, but there was no way she could really let the child watch her and Chen Yi eat noodles.

Besides, when she first arrived at the military region, Mrs. Gao not only took the initiative to bring her a basket of vegetables but also told her a lot of information. She still had a good impression of Mrs. Gao who was enthusiastic and helpful.

Shuying closed the door and went into the main room, preparing to cook some more white noodles.

She has a mall, and one child is not enough to feed her.

As soon as she stepped into the main room, she heard the two children talking.

"If you recognize me as the boss in the future, I will give you a few chopsticks of noodles!" Chen Yi's familiar baby voice came.

“Boss!”

Chen Yi immediately and generously passed the noodles in his bowl to Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan, who had just run into the main room, saw Chen Yi eating white noodles with meat, and his eyes widened.

Look, he took a sip of the soup and picked up a piece of white noodles mixed with meat sauce and put them into his mouth.

Gao Yuan, who had never eaten anything good, was amazed after tasting the braised pork noodles in Chen Yi's bowl. The roasted meat mixed with the white noodles tasted so delicious in his mouth.

After Gao Yuan swallowed a big mouthful of the braised pork noodles, he lowered his head and ate several more mouthfuls.

Chen Yi, who had been so generous just now, saw Gao Yuan finish almost half of his bowl of noodles with braised pork in just two or three mouthfuls. He was so anxious that he scratched his face and said hurriedly, "Okay, you've already eaten a few mouthfuls!"

Gao Yuan was eating noodles and reluctantly returned the bowl to Chen Yi, but his eyes were fixed on Chen Yi's bowl without moving.

"Boss!" Gao Yuan called out "Boss" several times, hoping that the boss would give him a few more bites.

The braised pork noodles are so delicious, Chen Yi likes it very much. He ate it once last night and he still likes it tonight.

Then, he noticed that Gao Yuan's mouthfuls were too big and there wasn't much noodles left in his bowl. He immediately regretted it and said, "I don't have enough to eat. I don't want to be your boss anymore! You can find someone else!"

After saying this, Chen Yi buried his head in eating noodles.

Gao Yuan almost cried after hearing this, and he called "Boss" several times in a row. The only sound in the main room was the sound of Chen Yi drinking noodle soup.

The shadow of the tree listening at the corner almost burst out laughing.

Seeing that Gao Yuan was about to cry, Shu Ying hurriedly said, "Xiao Yuan, don't cry. Aunt Yang will buy you some more noodles!"

There happened to be some meat sauce on the table, so I just needed to pour a spoonful of it over it.

Shuying went back to the kitchen to make noodles. She moved quickly and skillfully, and brought out the noodles and placed them on the table. She also scooped a spoonful of meat sauce and spread it on the noodles for him to eat.

Gao Yuan watched as Aunt Yang cooked a bowl of white noodles and added a spoonful of meat sauce to it. He felt greedy and touched.

"Aunt Yang, let me be your son. My grandma wants to adopt me to my uncle, but I don't want to. I am willing to be your son. I don't care about what I will do in the future." Gao Yuan said.

Shuying thought that if Mrs. Gao heard what her son said, she would probably want to vomit blood. How could this child be so easy to coax?

Exchanging a bowl of white noodles for a son is really a huge profit.

Chen Yi disagreed, and glared at him with her big round dark eyes: "My aunt has me, what do you need me for! I can also serve my aunt!"

At this time, there was another knock on the door. Shuying Momo raised his head and touched Chen Yi's bulging belly, telling them to stop arguing.

After saying that, Shuying went out and opened the door.

Then Mrs. Gao brought another basket of vegetables, including water spinach, radish and cucumber, stuffed full, and asked her to accept it.

After she returned to the yard, Mrs. Gao thought more and more that Yang Mei'er would definitely give her third child something delicious to eat because of her generosity.

The more Mrs. Gao thought about it, the more upset she felt. So she quickly went to the vegetable garden and picked a basket of vegetables to bring over.

Seeing that Mrs. Gao was so polite, Shuying quickly refused.

Mrs. Gao was determined that she should accept it. So, she looked inside and saw her son sitting in the main hall of the Chen family, eating white noodles crazily.

Mrs. Gao was so angry. How could this brat be so natural? And she even gave him white noodles to eat?

Oh my God!

Sister Yang is so generous!

Why do you feed this kid fine grains and white noodles?

Mrs. Gao knew that Miss Yang was generous from the fried pancakes and egg cakes she sent her, but she didn't expect her to be so generous.

Mrs. Gao wanted her to save some money, but it was her son who took advantage of Miss Yang and ate white noodles.

It's not good for Mrs. Gao to get the advantage and still be ungrateful.

Thanks to Sister Yang's kindness, she didn't dislike this boy. Sister Gao said hurriedly, "Sister Yang, if you don't accept him, I won't dare let my third son come to your house again in the future!"

Having said that, Shuying had no choice but to accept it. However, there were too many dishes in the basket, so she planned to have dinner with her children at her home.

After just a few times of getting along, she also realized that Mrs. Gao was a person who was not willing to take advantage of others, and Shuying was certainly willing to make friends with such a person.

If he only thinks about taking advantage of her every day without giving up anything, she will not pay any attention to him.

Before Mrs. Gao returned to her yard, she was about to say something when she saw many purple marks on Miss Yang's fair neck.

Mrs. Gao was also an experienced person, so how could she not know something? She muttered to herself, "Chen Tuan usually has a stern face, but she didn't expect that he is so warm to his daughter-in-law in private?"

But Miss Yang is pretty and fair-skinned, and the couple are newly married, so it's normal for them to be a little noisy.

Mrs. Gao was afraid that her new daughter-in-law would be shy so she didn't tell her about this. She just said that she was going to the market tomorrow morning and asked her to let her know early in the morning. She would take her to the market and introduce her to some other sisters-in-law.

Shuying looked grateful: "Sister-in-law, thank you for your help!"

She carried the basket back to the yard. The shadows of the trees allowed the two children to play at home in the afternoon, and she continued to weed with the sun hat she made herself.

The two children played for a while and then helped her pull weeds, then played again for a while, and the shadow of the tree followed them.

After the sun set, Shuying brought the clothes that were hung in the front yard last night back to the bed in the master bedroom.

It was almost time, so she started to cook dinner.

Before making dinner, Shuying specifically told Gao Yuan to stay at her house for dinner.

Children nowadays mature early. Gao Yuan is eight years old now, which is considered a big kid in the countryside. He also knows that it is not a good idea to have lunch at Aunt Yang's house at noon and stay for dinner at night.

His mother complained every day that it was too expensive to feed three sons.

Gao Yuan planned to play with Chen Yi for a while before going home.

Gao Yuan had a good idea, but when he smelled the aroma of cooking coming from Aunt Yang's kitchen, he wanted to cry again.

Why is this smell even better than the pork noodles I made at noon?

The smell was so good that he swallowed his saliva wildly and didn't want to go home.

Chen Yi was also attracted by the aroma of food coming from the kitchen and was drooling. The two little guys couldn't care less about playing and walked to the kitchen door eagerly.

One of them was lying on the side of the door, with his little face sticking out, watching the shadow of the tree cooking.

There was a little guest at home, so Shuying naturally prepared a slightly richer dinner, stewing a pot of pork ribs and radishes, a dish of stir-fried cabbage, and a bowl of boiled fish.

When the two children were lying at the kitchen door, Shuying was pouring hot oil to create a fragrant aroma.

Pour hot oil over the peppercorns, dried chilies and green onions. The aroma is so fragrant that even the shadow of the tree itself is a little greedy.

Both Chen Yi and Gao Yuan were almost overwhelmed by the aroma of the food coming from the kitchen.

Both children were drooling.

When Shuying was about to serve the dishes, she saw the two children drooling. She took out her watch and checked the time. Her husband would be back soon, so she said hurriedly, "I'll serve the dishes. We can have dinner when your uncle comes back!"

Shuying brought the dishes to the table. There was a bowl of boiled fish, a pot of pork ribs stewed with radish, and a plate of stir-fried cabbage. The sumptuous dishes made both Chen Yi and Gao Yuan stare with wide eyes. Especially Gao Yuan, who had never seen such a sumptuous dish since he was born and his eyes almost popped out.

When Chen Xi returned home and entered the main room, he discovered that there was a new child in his family. Shuying saw the man coming back and hurriedly asked him to wash his hands before eating.

The food at home smelled so delicious that Chen Xi couldn't help but take a glance at the table. When he saw the dishes for dinner, Chen Xi, who usually didn't care much about his appetite, became greedy.

He hurried to the kitchen to wash his hands. Shuying scooped a basin of cool water and told him that Sister Gao had just stuffed a basket of vegetables into the family.

So, she felt really embarrassed and just invited her children to have dinner at home.

Chen Xi had no objection. When he first came to the Northwest Military Region in Gan City, he lived close to Captain Gao's family, and Captain Gao and his wife often took him to their house for dinner.

He was very pleased with his wife's understanding.

After washing their hands, the two adults and two children sat at the table to have dinner.

Shuying specifically told Gaoyuan not to be polite, as there were a lot of dishes cooked at home tonight, so he could eat more and just order whatever he liked.

Gao Yuan really likes the gentle Aunt Yang.

At this time, both Chen Yi and Gao Yuan tasted the dishes made by Shuying, especially the boiled fish.

The children ate boiled fish, and Shuying didn’t make it too spicy, so both children could eat it.

Look, after the two children picked up the tender fish meat and tasted it, their eyes lit up and they looked at the tree shadow with admiration.

Gao Yuan ate several mouthfuls of food before he raised his sweaty head and said, "Aunt Yang, the food you cook is really...so delicious!"

He doesn't even have words to describe how delicious it is.

Why isn't he Aunt Yang's son? He is really jealous of Chen Yi now.

Chen Yi's eyes widened and her lips turned red from eating so much, and from time to time she looked at the shadows of the trees with admiration with her big, bright eyes.

How come my aunt is so good at making delicious food!

"If you like it, eat more!" Shuying picked out boneless fish meat for the two children and put it in their bowls.

The two little guys ate without even raising their heads.

Chen Xi, who was standing by, was also enjoying the meal. He had eaten the radish stewed pork ribs and stir-fried cabbage made by his wife before, but this was the first time he had boiled fish. Chen Xi, who was eating boiled fish for the first time, liked this dish very much, even more than sauerkraut fish.

He would prefer it spicier.

Chen Xi was eating madly, not forgetting to pick up some food for his wife. Shuying preferred to drink soup, so she had a bowl of pork rib soup.

Chen Xi scooped two bowls of radish and pork ribs stewed in two bowls for the two children, then scooped a bowl of radish and pork ribs stewed in two bowls for the empty bowl in front of his wife, scooped a few more pieces of pork ribs for her, and finally scooped a bowl for himself and placed it on the table.

White rice with spicy and delicious boiled fish and a bowl of radish stewed pork ribs, the taste is so good.

Gao Yuan was enjoying his meal at Chen's house, but he spoiled the neighboring Gao group leader.

Mrs. Gao thought that the food cooked by Miss Yang last night and today's lunch was delicious enough, but she didn't expect that tonight's food would be even more delicious.

No wonder her son wants to be Yang Meizi's son.

At this moment, Mrs. Gao was telling Captain Gao, who was eating sweet potatoes with radishes, about the glorious deeds of her third son at noon, and she also said that the wife of the neighboring Chen Tuan family really did not look like a rural wife.

Many of the military wives here are from rural areas, and each of them is more frugal and stingy than her.

It's Miss Yang, her hands are even better at sewing than the girls in the city.

Smelling the delicious food from Lao Xiang next door, Captain Gao was a little jealous of his own son and laughed and scolded, "This brat!"

He paused for a moment and then continued, "What a good wife Chen Tuan married!"

Captain Gao now had a very good impression of Captain Chen's new daughter-in-law. She was skilled and generous, unlike Deputy Captain Fang's daughter-in-law, who was pretty but did nothing.

According to his wife, the one from Chen Tuan's family is prettier than the one from the neighboring Fang Fu Tuan's family. Captain Gao actually doesn't quite believe it. He can't imagine that he is prettier than the one from the neighboring Fang Fu Tuan's family. How much prettier must he be.

Gao Zhi and Gao Xiang were now envious of their younger brother. If they dared to go to Aunt Yang's house next door for dinner like their younger brother, their parents would definitely break their legs.

Compared to the harmonious family of Captain Gao, Fang Boran from next door came back from the cafeteria to eat with his wife. When they smelled the aroma of food wafting from next door, the couple's faces turned green.

The food next door smells so good.

The two of them had thought the food in the cafeteria tasted good before, but now they could no longer enjoy the food after smelling the food from next door which was even more delicious than yesterday evening.

I don’t know what delicious dish the new daughter-in-law of Chen Tuan’s family cooked, it tastes so good.

Fang Boran muttered in his heart, and suggested: "Wife, how about we cook in the future?"

"I can't do what you do!" Xia Lina said immediately.

"How can I, a grown man, cook? I'm busy with training!" Fang Boran said.

"What's the matter? When you married me, you said I didn't have to cook! How about we get divorced and you marry a rural woman?" Xia Lina said angrily.

Fang Boran said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, we'll still go to the cafeteria to get food from now on."

Only then was Xia Lina satisfied.

Thinking of the tall and handsome Chen Tuan today, Xia Lina felt more and more sorry, "It's a pity that Chen Tuan married a country girl, otherwise I could introduce him to a good girl. That country girl probably doesn't know anything except cooking a few dishes, and can't read a single word!"

She had heard that those poor families in the countryside could not possibly afford to send their daughters to school, and the more she thought about Chen Tuan marrying an illiterate rural girl, the more she felt sorry for him.

After hearing what his wife said, Fang Boran, who had just felt a little jealous, immediately felt sympathy for Chen Tuan.

Compared with Chen Tuan's rural wife, his wife is not only a city dweller, but also graduated from junior high school and teaches in a primary school in a military area.

The "illiterate" who was disliked by Fang Boran and his wife was discussing with her husband when to have a dinner party at home the next day or the day after tomorrow.

There will be a market tomorrow. She will go with Gao's sisters in the morning and cook a meal to entertain his comrades in the evening.

They had just arrived and were newly married, so they had to treat everyone to a meal to show their appreciation.

Chen Xi agreed: "No problem, I'll call them tomorrow!"

Gao Yuan ate so much dinner at Shuying's house that he could hardly walk, so Shuying sent him back to the next room. Chen Xi took the initiative to wash the dishes.

Gao Yuan, who had just been sent back to the Gao family's courtyard, was proudly telling his family about the braised noodles with meat he had for lunch and what delicious dishes Aunt Yang had made in the evening. Captain Gao and his wife's family heard that the wife of Chen Tuan next door had white noodles with meat for lunch, and boiled fish, pork ribs stewed with radishes and fried cabbage for dinner. Captain Gao's family's eyes popped out when they heard this.

Not to mention that the two older brothers Gao Zhi and Gao Xiang had red eyes of envy, even Captain Gao envied this kid for being able to eat at Chen Tuan's house.

Mrs. Gao was stunned by Shuying's hand-stitching!
