Chapter 30 The couple's wedding night
Qiao Bin was stunned for a moment, and murmured uncertainly: "Call... Mingzhu."
"Call her sister-in-law instead."
Qiao Bin's eyes widened, "But I'm several years older than her..."
He really couldn't call her that!
Jiang Duo didn't respond, but stared at him with a serious look.
Qiao Bin was stared at so hard that his hair stood on end, so he had to surrender and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, call me sister-in-law, I can call you sister-in-law!"
Jiang Duo retracted his gaze and replied in a low voice: "She stewed braised pork."
Zhou Changming, who was standing by, took a sip from the teacup, and a gentle arc appeared at the corner of his lips.
Mingzhu made four dishes tonight, braised pork, fried potato slices with shredded pork, fried zucchini with shredded pork, and a spicy snail.
Qiao Bin smelled the fragrance and his saliva flowed unconsciously.
Mingzhu had divided the bowls and chopsticks, and he couldn't wait to taste the marinated snails, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are so good!"
Mingzhu, who was pouring water, was so shocked by the call of sister-in-law that her hands trembled.
"Captain Qiao, you should call me Mingzhu. I'm younger than you, and you call me sister-in-law... I'm so embarrassed."
Before Qiao Bin could say anything, Jiang Duo casually picked up a piece of meat for Mingzhu and Ming Chunni, and replied: "It's my duty."
Qiao Bin nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, it's my duty! It doesn't matter whether you are small or not, we are the boss, right, boss?"
Jiang Duo ignored him.
Mingzhu couldn't help laughing. How could Qiao Bin, a chatterbox, live under the same roof with Jiang Duo, a... serious and taciturn man, for so long?
She said with a smile: "Teacher Zhou, Captain Qiao, you guys eat more, don't be polite!"
Zhou Changming kept nodding, "I want to eat more, Mingzhu, your dishes are really good! Who did you learn such good cooking skills from?"
"My grandma." Mingzhu is now accustomed to throwing all the blame on her grandma, anyway, grandma will not jump out to deny it.
Zhou Changming praised: "Then your grandma is really amazing, she is outstanding in everything, and she has taught you such a good granddaughter!"
Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled, and nodded without any humility: "My grandma is very powerful, she is the best grandma in the world. Teacher Zhou, Captain Qiao, if you really like the dishes I cook, then come to my house often to eat in the future."
Everyone will say polite words, today is a good day, just for fun and celebration.
In the following time, Mingzhu humbly asked Zhou Changming some medical questions, pretending to do so for Jiang Duo to see.
After a while, she and Ming Chunni were full.
The men had big appetites, Ming Chunni went into the house to boil water, and Mingzhu followed to make some staple food.
She was going to use the fine noodles she had exchanged in the city to roll some noodles for them.
After Mingzhu left the table, Zhou Changming whispered to Jiang Duo: "You have found a good young wife. Although she looks frail, she is actually very healthy, with a straightforward personality and thoughtful handling of things... She is a good wife."
Qiao Bin almost choked when he heard the compliment!
If Old Zhou knew that Mingzhu was the target of the boss's surveillance, he would probably regret the compliment!
"Old Zhou, you are just being nice to her because you are eating her! She is just an ordinary country girl, isn't that right...her temper is much worse than that of an ordinary girl, isn't it, boss?"
Jiang Duo glanced at him, not denying but not agreeing either.
Qiao Bin couldn't figure out the boss's thoughts for a while. Although Mingzhu was indeed pretty and a great cook, she had a bad temper!
The boss didn't let him say anything bad about Mingzhu now. Could it be that he had fallen into the beauty trap?
Zhou Changming shook his head, looking like an experienced person, "Qiao Bin, you don't understand, this girl is well-educated, put yourself in her shoes, if you were bullied in the village without support, would you not resist? In short, this girl is definitely the right one to marry, Xiao Jiang, you should live a good life with her and pamper her more."
Qiao Bin thought about it carefully, it seemed... that was the truth, if she wasn't stronger, I'm afraid she would have been sold three times by Ming Changhe's family!
But the boss suspected that there was something wrong with her...
It would be great if she didn't have any problems, no, I hope she doesn't have any problems, then the boss is too pitiful, his marriage for a lifetime is ruined!
Jiang Duo was silent, he looked in the direction of the kitchen, feeling mixed emotions.
He is a person who never thought about divorce once he got married, but Mingzhu didn't want to marry him. She even thought about divorce. Would she be willing to live a good life with him in the future?
Thinking of this, he was inexplicably a little irritated.
In the kitchen, Mingzhu rolled out the noodles, stir-fried them with green onions, put them in the pot after the water boiled, and then added a little salt.
Qiao Bin ate three bowls of such a simple pot of noodles.
He is not a person with a strong appetite, but today he couldn't eat enough, and he was embarrassed.
After all, who can eat fine noodles these days? I have to make up for it later!
After dinner, Qiao Bin showed no intention of leaving. Zhou Changming reminded him, "Qiao Bin, it's getting late, aren't we leaving yet?"
"Hey, Old Zhou, why are you in such a hurry? Today is the boss's big day, and I have to make a fuss for him in the bridal chamber!"
Jiang Duo frowned and pursed his lips.
Zhou Changming saw that Jiang Duo didn't want to be made fuss, and smiled helplessly, "Okay, don't stay here and disturb the couple's wedding night, let's go."
In the end, Qiao Bin was still pulled away by Zhou Changming.
When Mingzhu came out of the kitchen, everyone had gone far away.
She was about to say something when she saw Jiang Duo taking the initiative to clean up the dishes and wash the dishes.
Mingzhu didn't stop. Housework should be shared between each other.
She cooks and he washes the dishes, it's as it should be!
Mingzhu looked at the 1.87-meter-tall man squatting there washing dishes and found it funny. The contrast was quite big, a little cute...
After Jiang Duo finished washing the dishes, it was dark.
In the house, Mingzhu lit the kerosene lamp and packed up the daily necessities that Jiang Duo brought from his previous residence.
Now the two of them were alone under the same roof, and she was actually nervous.
And Jiang Duo behind her was also nervous.
He stood by the kang, watching the little woman kneeling on the kang, tidying up his bedding, his Adam's apple moved unconsciously...
After Mingzhu had tidied up the quilt, she sat on the edge of the kang, raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Duo who was still standing there motionless.
The moment their eyes met, they quickly separated.
Mingzhu raised her hand and pinched her eyebrows, it was so embarrassing!
Although that kind of thing had happened between them, and it was unusually fierce and bold, to be honest...
She really thought she was dreaming that day, so she was a little confused and bold.
Now she can't be so wild again, no matter what!
Mingzhu is still a little traditional in her bones.
Until today, she and Jiang Duo have only known each other for four days, so they are not really familiar with each other. She can also feel that Jiang Duo is now unfamiliar and... nervous towards her.
She thinks this man is more traditional!
He was drugged that day. If he was awake, it would be impossible for him to sleep with a stranger woman.
Mingzhu was silent for a long time, and then took the initiative to speak: "Well, Jiang Duo..."
"Yeah."
"I think... we are not particularly familiar with each other. Can we cultivate our feelings for a while first, and then... upgrade to the next step of our married life?"
