Chapter 41 041 I don't understand the pain of life
But she was reluctant to spend money to buy meat for braising, and she was even reluctant to buy pig offal. There were old people and young children in the family, and they all depended on the salary of their old Chen to make a living. Unlike An Xin, a young wife who had just married into the family, she did not understand the hardships of life and wasted her time with Captain Bai's salary.
Even though Captain Bai's salary is higher than his man's, with An Xin's way of working, maybe one month's salary is not enough to support her.
At this moment, An Xin, who was adding firewood to the stove, naturally had no idea about the twists and turns in Mrs. Chen's mind, and replied very casually.
"Oh, Sister Chen, are you making breakfast too? I'm making some steamed dumplings for our man."
Since she is married to Bai Yichen, she should follow the local customs and call him her man! Anyway, no one knows how long this marriage will last, but they have to maintain the image of their marriage in front of outsiders.
The words of reassurance made Chen's voice rise a degree, and she replied meaningfully
"Oh, are you eating Xiao Long Bao at home again?"
It's true, she can't live without meat for every meal. This woman really knows how to waste food.
She is not like that. She just rolls some noodles for her husband, Lao Chen, and adds a poached egg for breakfast, which is enough nutrition for him. But she herself, with nothing to do at home, just eats some plain noodles.
An Xin: “…”
What does it mean to eat xiaolongbao again? I have never done it before. Does Mrs. Chen know how to speak? But she was keenly aware that there was a hint of sourness in Mrs. Chen's words.
Whatever, why bother with an ignorant country woman? So An Xin pretended not to understand what Mrs. Chen said, lowered her head to add firewood to the stove, and then went in.
Mrs. Chen felt bored when she saw An Xin go into the house. She had no choice but to lower her head and feel her noodles. She held the rolling pin with even more force than before.
When Old Chen got up, he happened to see his wife rolling the dough with a rolling pin, as if the dough had a grudge against her and she was determined to make it into something supernatural. He couldn't help but ask a question.
"What are you doing? You're trying so hard to make noodles."
When asked this by her husband, an unnatural expression flashed across Mrs. Chen's face, and she said something inconsistent.
"Oh, I just wanted to make the noodles for you quickly and put them aside to cool down so you can eat them when you get up."
"oh……"
Old Chen said "oh" lightly, stretched his head and looked outside, just in time to see two stoves burning in front of Bai Yichen's house next door. On one of the stoves was a large steamer, emitting hot steam. On the other stove, porridge seemed to be cooking, with corn kernels rolling around. The air was filled with the unique aroma of food, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Captain Bai is really lucky. He got married and has a wife who prepares food for him in different ways every day. You may not know that when we were eating in the mountains these days, the team members stared at the captain's food box eagerly, wishing they could share all the food he brought."
When he thought of the scene of eating every day, Lao Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Captain Bai's wife really has a pair of skillful hands!
The food he cooked for Captain Bai was almost different every day. The delicious food would make people drool and make the team members envious and jealous. Even he, a man with a family, would stare at the little bit of food that Captain Bai gave them every day and satisfy his hunger.
Now, someone has prepared delicious food for Captain Bai early in the morning. How can he not feel grateful? They are both getting married, so why doesn’t the wife he marries make noodles for him? Just make noodles for him?
Can't you change the taste? Even if you make a pancake, it can improve the taste!
Old Chen, who was sighing, naturally didn't notice that his wife next to him stopped rolling the noodles, turned around, put her hands on her waist, held the rolling pin, and pointed at Old Chen fiercely.
"So you've embarrassed yourself by marrying me. Did I not feed you well or clothe you warmly?"
They talk about how lucky Captain Bai is, and how capable An Xin is, as if they are so bad.
If you have the ability to marry a woman like An Xin, and if you have the ability to get a high salary like Captain Bai, I will naturally provide you with good food and drink.
But even her own man is incompetent, so why should she despise her for being incompetent?
When Old Chen saw his wife, with her hands on her hips, holding a rolling pin and looking ferocious, he was so scared that he immediately became timid and tried to please her.
"Ah, old woman, it's just a casual remark, why do you take it so seriously?"
It's true that he didn't think that these words would irritate his wife at the time, so he just expressed his feelings casually. He didn't expect that this woman would go crazy at any time?
Well, when it comes down to it, it's all fate. He married a she-devil, the kind that Captain Bai married, who is gentle, beautiful, virtuous and capable, and is far better than Old Chen.
Still carrying a rolling pin? She looked like she was ready to fight him to the death, any man would be scared.
"snort……"
Mrs. Chen snorted, picked up the rolling pin, turned around and continued rolling the noodles.
She has no objection if other people say how capable Captain Bai's wife is, but she will not agree if her husband says something about other wives being capable and virtuous.
They have been married for so many years, but he still dares to look down on her. Thinking about it, Old Chen was also a country boy, and it was a blessing for her, a city girl, to be willing to marry him. Now he dares to look down on her.
An Xin was unaware of the war that almost broke out next door. He was preparing toiletries and hot water for Bai Yichen in the house. When he came out of the bathroom, he was shocked to find that Bai Yichen had already gotten up and was folding the quilt seriously.
An Xin had no objection to the man taking the initiative to tidy up the house. After all, they lived under the same roof and everyone had to learn to share the burden of many things, instead of relying on her to do it all by herself.
Besides, she is not a true good wife and mother who takes care of Bai Yichen's life.
If she hadn't thought about how she had ruined a promising young man, she really wouldn't have bothered to serve him.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through An Xin's mind, but she still walked out with a gentle smile on her face, just in time to meet the man's dark eyes.
An Xin immediately spoke in a flattering manner.
"Get up, go wash up, I've got hot water for you."
I don’t know why, but every time I meet the man’s dark eyes, An Xin always feels panicky and at a loss for any reason.
It was as if there was a deep pool in the man's deep eyes that could suck her soul away and make her brain stop thinking.
