Chapter 75 The Young Wife Full of Advantages
The two chatted until they reached the main entrance of the village.
In the distance, Ming Dacheng came over with a long strip of pork belly in his hand and greeted Mingzhu happily: "Zhuzhu, call your aunt and Captain Jiang to come to my house for dinner tonight. Look, I cut the meat, and we will eat meat and egg dumplings."
Jiang Cuilan wanted to say something to her husband when she saw that he actually bought meat and wasted money, but when Ming Dacheng said this, she immediately clapped her hands and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I followed you to make tofu, and I made a lot of money these days, and I haven't treated you properly yet!"
Mingzhu waved her hand and said : Mingzhu held her hand, "No, no, Captain Jiang has just been discharged from the hospital, it's not convenient, you guys go home and eat."
Although Ming Dacheng is honest, he is very stubborn, "No, if you don't come to dinner, take the meat back."
How could Mingzhu take someone else's meat? The couple invited her so warmly that it was difficult for Mingzhu to refuse, so she had to say, "Thank you, uncle and aunt."
After the three of them separated, Mingzhu strolled back home. Seeing that her aunt had not come back yet, Jiang Duo was boiling water in the kitchen alone.
She walked in and squatted beside Jiang Duo, looking at him with frowns, "Whose man is so disobedient? Why did you come out again? Don't you want to heal your injury?"
"It's okay," Jiang Duo stuffed the firewood in his hand into the earthen pot, "How is your study going?"
"Very well, Master keeps praising my intelligence," Mingzhu said with a smile on her face, "But what Master said is also true, I am indeed smart! I envy you to death, how can you be so lucky to marry a smart, capable, sweet and lovely wife with all the advantages!"
Jiang Duo looked at this little woman who didn't know how to be shy, and couldn't help but chuckled and nodded in response to her: "Yeah, yes."
Mingzhu hugged his arm and shook it, "Why did you answer so perfunctorily, do you think I'm wrong?"
"No, you are right."
"You know what to do! By the way, we just met Uncle Dacheng and his wife on the road. To thank us, they insisted on inviting the three of us to his house for dinner in the evening. I tried to refuse, but I couldn't refuse, so I had to accept in the end. Do you mind?"
"No."
That's good. Then Mingzhu was a little embarrassed again, "But... I have never been to someone's house before, and I don't know what to bring when you go to someone's house for dinner in the village. Captain Jiang, please give me some advice."
"Uncle's family conditions are not good, we shouldn't eat their food for free, we should bring something from our home. He has many children, so bring the candies left from our wedding last time."
Mingzhu nodded, "We didn't finish the fish that Qiao Bin and I caught last time, so bring two fish, I'll go kill them." As
she said this, she rolled up her sleeves and got up to go out.
Jiang Duo held her back and said, "I'll do it. We have all the seasonings at home. You prepare the ingredients and we'll take them directly to you."
Mingzhu thought about it and decided that it was feasible. The couple divided the work and cooperated.
She used two fish heads to make fish head tofu soup, and two fish bodies to make a large plate of grilled fish with sauce .
After Ming Chunni came back, the three of them came to Ming Dacheng's house with two ready-made dishes and a bag of candy.
Jiang Cuilan was making dumplings with two girls. When she saw Mingzhu brought the fish, she took it with embarrassment and said, "Oh, we're treating you, why are you paying for it!"
"What's the expense? The fish were all caught from the river." Mingzhu said as she washed her hands and was about to help make dumplings.
Seeing this, Ming Chunni also wanted to help, wanting Mingzhu to rest.
"Aunt, you've worked all day, you should rest if you want."
"I'm not tired, I've been full of energy these days and I can't use it all."
Watching the aunt and nephew chatting, Jiang Cuilan smiled and said, "I think Chunni has gotten much better recently, and she doesn't look sick at all."
Mingzhu glanced to the side and happened to meet Ming Chunni's eyes, "Yes, my aunt has recovered and is sober now."
Ming Chunni lowered her head embarrassedly and said while rolling the dough, "Well, it was Zhuzhu who helped me by giving me the Taisui water every day."
Jiang Cuilan was also deeply moved when she heard it Agree, "Zhuzhu, you have not only helped your aunt, you are also my benefactor! You see, I was sick at first, but after drinking tofu water for a few days, I am obviously much better. I got up this morning and ground the tofu by myself without the help of Daxiao and Erxiao, and I didn't feel tired!"
Mingzhu smiled warmly: "Then you just insist on drinking it, physical recovery is more important than anything else."
In the future, she will leave with Jiang Duo and will no longer be able to provide them with spiritual spring water.
Instead of letting these people rely on her to make money temporarily, it is better to let them have a good body, so that they can do something of their own when the policy is opened up in the future.
The three of them had just finished wrapping the dumplings when they heard Ming Dayou's voice coming from the courtyard -
"Captain Jiang is here too? You're injured, why don't you rest at home?"
Jiang Duo replied calmly, "I'm a guest."
Ming Dacheng stood up and asked, "Why is my cousin here?"
In the kitchen, Jiang Cuilan turned her head and looked outside, with some displeasure in her eyes, "Do you even need to ask? He must be asked to work for nothing again!"
Sure enough, in the yard, Ming Dayou said very directly, without any euphemism: "My family is going to build a backyard wall. After you finish your work at the construction site tomorrow, take some time to build it for me."
Hearing this, Jiang Cuilan rolled her eyes and said to Mingzhu, "You see, he is always like this. He usually ignores us, but when it comes to work, your uncle becomes his cousin."
Mingzhu smiled and lowered her voice, "If you don't want to work for him, just refuse."
"Your uncle is a fool, how could he refuse someone?"
Mingzhu touched Jiang Cuilan's arm with her elbow and whispered, "My uncle can't do it, but you are here."
She pulled Jiang Cuilan, "Let's go out and take a look."
The two came to the courtyard. Ming Dayou saw Mingzhu was there too. He frowned for a moment and said with a fake smile, "Mingzhu is here too!"
"Yes, village chief, uncle invited the three of us to dinner!"
Invite dinner?
Ming Dayou glanced into the kitchen and saw two curtains of black dumplings on the table!
Thinking of how poor Ming Dacheng's family was before, let alone dumplings, they couldn't even have enough rice, but now because Jiang Cuilan followed Mingzhu to make tofu, the family's diet has improved.
He was a little frustrated, and the corners of his mouth showed a bit of sarcasm: "Then you are really lucky. I, as his cousin, have never eaten a single dumpling from his family, let alone fish."
Ming Dacheng lowered his head and kept silent after hearing this. Jiang Cuilan was so angry, but she couldn't say anything.
Mingzhu looked at the couple and felt so suffocated for them. She raised her eyes and said with a smile: "Village chief, you are still in touch with Uncle Dacheng's family?"
"What are you talking about? We are cousins!"
Mingzhu looked harmless and pretended to be confused: "Then why do I remember that I saw Uncle Dacheng and his wife greet you on the road several times before, but you ignored them?"
