"Nian Nian, Cheng Jingmo!"
When Yu Xiangnian turned around, he saw a man in a green military uniform. He was carrying a bag of rice on his shoulder. He was holding the bag with one hand and five candied haws in the other. In the other hand, he was holding a bucket of oil, a piece of pork belly and a bag of brown sugar.
Cheng Jingmo walked out and took the rice from the man's shoulder, "Why are you buying things again?"
"It's not for you. I bought it for my sister and Xiaojie."
This man was Yu Xiangnian’s third brother, Yu Xiangyang.
Speaking of which, Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo’s marriage was ruined by Yu Xiangyang!
Both Yu Xiangyang and Cheng Jingmo are pioneers in the army, and Cheng Jingmo even surpasses Yu Xiangyang in many aspects.
Yu Xiangyang was a proud person, so he naturally refused to accept defeat. He compared everything with Cheng Jingmo and mentioned Cheng Jingmo more often at home. Yu Jiashun thus remembered this person.
During a military district competition, Cheng Jingmo performed outstandingly and attracted the attention of Yu Jiashun.
After asking his subordinates, he found out that this person was Cheng Jingmo.
Yu Jiashun began to pay secret attention to Cheng Jingmo. The more he paid attention, the more he liked him. He even asked Yu Xiangyang to invite Cheng Jingmo to his home for dinner.
This marriage arranged by the family began like this.
Thinking of this miserable marriage and looking at the two men in front of her, Yu Xiangnian's anger, which had not yet subsided, burned even more fiercely. She spoke in a bad tone, "What are you doing here?"
Her attitude did not arouse Yu Xiangyang's suspicion.
His sister is such an arrogant and rude person!
"Tsk! Third brother hasn't seen you for over a month, and I can't even come to see you?" He handed the candied haws in his hand to Yu Xiangnian, "Hawthorn and sour jujube, both of which you like. Leave two for Xiaojie."
"Who likes to eat candied haws?" She is not a child!
When she saw Yu Xiangyang sweating profusely, she still reached out and took the candied haws.
Yu Xiangyang handed the things in his hand to Cheng Jingmo again, "Nian Nian likes shredded pork with green peppers, and I like braised pork. Let's add some potatoes and stew them together!"
Cheng Jingmo glared at him, "You want to do it?"
Yu Xiangyang said, "I need to talk to my sister and hear how she bullied you!"
Cheng Jingmo didn't say anything else and carried the oil and meat into the kitchen. The sound of cutting vegetables could be heard from the kitchen.
Yu Xiangnian was eating a string of candied haws with sour dates. "Go in and help him. He's already injured, and you still want him to cook."
Yu Xiangyang pulled up a chair and sat down, saying nonchalantly, "He was just stabbed once, but he was able to chase the criminal for hundreds of meters and subdue him. It's been more than ten days, so what's there to be afraid of when cooking!"
Yu Xiangnian said: "His wound broke open and started bleeding again."
"So what? Even if he gets stabbed again, cooking a meal is no problem!"
Seeing Yu Xiangyang's unmoved expression, Yu Xiangnian couldn't force him. "Next time you get stabbed, don't be squeamish. Just do what you have to do."
Yu Xiangyang: “…”
As expected of his sister!
But why do I feel a little biased towards Cheng Jingmo?
Yu Xiangnian felt much better after eating a string of candied haws.
She put the remaining four skewers into an enamel-mouthed bowl and got up to help in the kitchen.
As soon as she reached the kitchen door, she was stopped by Yu Xiangyang, "You are pregnant, how can you do these things!"
Yu Xiangnian rolled her eyes. "Who said I was pregnant?! Cheng Jingmo and I are innocent!"
Yu Xiangyang was startled, his lips moving for a moment before he managed to stammer out a few words, "Is... is it Ding Yunfei's?"
Then, his expression changed, and he clenched one fist and hit the palm of his other hand, "I'm going to kill him!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to hit someone!
Yu Xiangnian was so impressed by his train of thought that she grabbed him and said, "I'm not pregnant!"
"Ah?!" Yu Xiangyang's expression changed instantly. "So I heard people say you were pregnant this morning?"
"Cheng Jingmo, is my sister pregnant?" Yu Xiangyang asked Cheng Jingmo, who was standing by the chopping board, cutting meat as steady as an old dog, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"I don't know." Cheng Jingmo replied.
Yu Xiangyang could only look at Yu Xiangnian again, with confusion and bewilderment in his eyes.
Yu Xiangnian just couldn't stand the two of them being so affectionate in front of her and wanted to make things difficult for them. She hadn't expected that the family members would spread the news so widely. In just one day, even Yu Xiangyang, who didn't live in the family compound, knew about it.
She said very seriously: "I'm really not pregnant."
The two of them couldn't see that when Cheng Jingmo heard these three words, his brows relaxed.
"Then why does everyone say you are pregnant?" Yu Xiangyang asked.
Yu Xiangnian pulled Yu Xiangyang into the main room and told him in detail what happened last night.
Yu Xiangyang nodded in sudden realization. Yu Xiangnian realized that Yu Xiangyang also knew Dr. Wu and must have known the relationship between Cheng Jingmo and Dr. Wu.
It seems that what the family members said is true.
But why is there no information about Dr. Wu in the original owner's memory?
"Tell me about Dr. Wu's condition." Yu Xiangnian said without any emotion.
Yu Xiangyang scratched his head and said, "I know this person too well. I heard her name is Wu Xiaomin, an educated youth who went to the countryside, and the niece of our political commissar's wife. Because she knows a little bit of medicine, and the clinic in the family compound is short of doctors, she contacted the village and borrowed her to the clinic to treat minor ailments such as headaches and fevers for these family members."
Yu Xiangnian wanted to test his family's attitude, so he asked, "Brother, what do you think if I divorce Cheng Jingmo?"
Yu Xiangyang widened his eyes in panic and shook his head. "Not very good. Cheng Jingmo is the son-in-law that our father carefully selected. If you want a divorce, he will break your legs. Have you forgotten what he said before you got married?"
I feel distressed when thinking about it.
It seems that it is impossible for her to go back home after the divorce, and she has to stay away from her father.
Xiao Jie came back at this time and threw himself into Yu Xiangyang's arms, "Uncle Xiangyang!"
Yu Xiangyang carried him around for a few rounds before putting him down. "I haven't seen you for a month. You've grown taller."
"I eat well every day!"
Yu Xiangyang touched his head and said, "Not bad, go to the kitchen and help your uncle cook."
Yu Xiangnian said, "Why don't you go? You're just ordering a child around."
Yu Xiangyang smiled and said, "Then I'll go too!"
In this way, the three men were busy in the kitchen, and Yu Xiangnian sat dejectedly on the chair waiting for dinner, thinking about what to do after the divorce.
The meal was ready, and there were four dishes on the table: braised pork, shredded pork with green peppers, cold cucumber salad, and a vegetable soup.
The peppers and cucumbers are all grown in our own yard and are very fresh.
The meat was brought by Yu Xiangyang, and the piece of meat was estimated to be about four pounds.
Nancheng is a southern coastal city with a relatively high temperature. The meat will go bad if left out until tomorrow morning.
Cheng Jingmo made all the meat into braised pork, filling a small pot.
The rice people ate in those days was not pure white rice, but steamed rice mixed with cornmeal. Some families also mixed it with sweet potatoes, potatoes, sorghum, etc.
In an era when the average family only eats meat once every few months, such a meal is considered a luxury.
But when everyone was ready to eat, they realized that there were not enough bowls at home.
