How about Chapter 216? My acting is pretty good, right?
After asking all the questions she needed to, Rong Mei walked to the washstand, picked up the washbasin, took down the face towel, and picked up the toothpaste, toothbrush, and some bottles and jars. She then said to Liu Rong, "Mom, I'm going to wash up."
After saying that, he picked up the thermos on the table.
But Liu Rong stopped him, "Wait, the water in the thermos was emptied last night, come and scoop some water from the pot."
"Okay." Rong Mei responded, put down the thermos, turned around and scooped water from the pot.
He scooped a large basin full of rice and carried it out the door.
Rong Mei scooped away most of the water in the pot in an instant. Now there was definitely not enough water for cooking noodles, so more had to be added. Without saying a word, Liu Rong took the ladle and prepared to add water to the pot.
He just walked to the water tank and scooped some water but did nothing. After a while, he poured the water back in. He turned to Luo Huahua and said, "Huahua, lower the fire a little. There is no water at home. I have to go fetch some water."
After giving the order, he put down the ladle, bent down to pick up the bucket in front of the water tank, and went to the wall to get the shoulder pole.
There is no well at home, so Zhou Zhengfu has been carrying water home for drinking over the years.
Seeing this, Luo Macheng immediately gave Luo Huahua a look.
After receiving the message, Luo Huahua immediately put down the fire tongs in her hand, stood up, and said to Liu Rong, "Rong, I'll go." She was about to call her Aunt Rong, but as soon as she said that, she thought of Luo Macheng's scolding just now. But when asked to call her mother-in-law, she didn't know why, so she just didn't call her anything.
Liu Rong refused without thinking, "No, you can't even find where to pick it up. I'll go by myself. You stay at home and keep an eye on the fire. Don't let it go out. And don't touch the noodles. You have frostbite on your hands. Some of them are even oozing feces. Don't get the noodles dirty. I'll come back and do it myself. Mei girl might not be able to eat after seeing this."
At the end, he frowned and looked at Luo Huahua's hand, saying hello in advance.
Seeing Liu Rong's "disdainful" look, Luo Huahua blushed instantly. She subconsciously hid her hands behind her back and whispered, "Okay, okay."
After receiving the response, Liu Rong picked up the pole and carried the bucket to go out. When she was about to reach Luo Macheng, she sighed and said to Luo Macheng, "Well, Uncle Zhengfu, you just sit at home for a while, I'll go fetch some water first."
"Hey, sister-in-law, go ahead. It's okay. I'll just sit here by myself." Liu Rong was very polite to him all of a sudden. Luo Macheng was not used to it for a moment. He felt he couldn't say anything impolite to her.
He was also thinking that it would be better if Liu Rong could sit down and talk about this matter properly. He didn't want to waste his breath on it.
Liu Rong nodded, with a very good attitude, and an apologetic look, "Well, maybe you, Uncle Luo, may have to sit for a while. I am a woman with little strength. In the past, Zheng Fu was responsible for carrying the water. I am afraid that I can't even carry half a bucket this time. But don't worry, I can just catch up with Nan Xu and the others after they finish running and come back for breakfast."
After saying this, Liu Rong carried the bucket and walked out.
After Luo Macheng heard what Liu Rong said, his facial expression changed several times, and his mood was a bit complicated. After a lot of inner struggle, he finally made a decision. He quickly stepped forward and called Liu Rong who was already at the door, "Sister-in-law, well, wait a minute, or I can go get some water, and you stay at home to roll the noodles, and I'll come back and you can put them in the pot in a while."
Liu Rong pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Ah?! This is not good. It doesn't make sense to ask guests to fetch water. Besides, you don't even know where to fetch it."
Luo Macheng glanced at the enamel bowl that Liu Rong had brought to the stove, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "Nothing, I know. When my sister was here, I used to come here often. I am familiar with everything in your village. It's still the well in 'Chubulaigou', right?"
Liu Rong nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, it's still in the well of 'No Way Out of the Ditch'."
Luo Macheng had an idea in mind, and then asked, "Well, are you planning to use the things in the enamel bowl?"
Liu Rong followed Luo Macheng's line of sight and looked inside, then nodded, "Yes, that was the beef that his uncle Li had stewed earlier. His uncle Li runs a noodle shop, and beef is his specialty. It was stewed until it was soft and tender, and it was so fragrant when put on the noodles..."
Without waiting for Liu Rong to finish, Luo Macheng tried hard to swallow the saliva that was about to flow out, and quickly snatched the shoulder pole from Liu Rong's shoulder, "Then big sister, you quickly roll out the noodles, I'll be back soon."
After saying this, without waiting for Liu Rong to reply, he strode out of the door carrying the bucket. However, when passing through the yard, he glared at Rong Mei who was washing and spat.
As he walked, he cursed and muttered, "What a shame, your face is so big, you need such a big basin of water to wash it, I don't even need such a big basin to take a bath, you don't cook, you don't choose water, you just eat, and you complain about this and that, you complain about people not being clean, wait until my daughter comes home, I will show you how diligent I am, with the comparison, see how long your mother-in-law can spoil you. If I wasn't in a hurry to eat those two chopsticks of beef before those two fierce gods come back, I would teach you a lesson."
Liu Rong followed Luo Macheng out of the door until she saw him disappear from the distance. Then she quickly ran to Rong Mei's side, patted her chest with a long sigh, and said to Rong Mei, "I'm so nervous. How was my performance? Was it okay? Did we trick Uncle Luo into our trap?"
Rong Mei took the towel from the wash basin and squeezed it dry. She gave Liu Rong a thumbs up and praised her, "Mother's acting skills today are comparable to those of Teacher Zhang Yu. It's really on point. Next, mother, you should go to the car and call Nan Xu and Uncle Li. Oh, don't forget to bring the cooking oil. I'll go in and meet Luo Huahua first."
Liu Rong felt a little embarrassed by Rong Mei's praise. You know, the teacher Zhang Yu that Rong Mei mentioned was her favorite actress in the movie "Lush Mountain Love" that Rong Mei found for her. But this is not the most important thing now. There are more important things that she needs to do.
It's a pity to waste a pot of cooking oil at home just to make Luo Macheng suffer a little.
"Okay, I'll go now. I'll be back soon." Liu Rong nodded, walked quickly into the house, took the cooking oil that had been poured in advance, and hurried out.
Rong Mei also quickened her washing speed, quickly poured out the water in the basin, put the toiletries into the washbasin and carried it into the house.
In the kitchen, Luo Huahua was still sitting in front of the stove, watching over the fire according to Liu Rong's instructions. There was not much water left in the pot. In order not to waste firewood, Luo Huahua took out a lot of firewood, making the fire much smaller.
This action was seen by Rong Mei who had just entered the room, but she said nothing and silently put the washbasin on the washstand.
When Luo Huahua saw Rong Mei walking in, her whole body subconsciously stiffened and felt uncomfortable. Thinking of what Liu Rong had just said, she silently lowered her head and hid her hands.
Unfortunately, what she feared came true. Rong Mei put down the basin and walked in front of her in two or three steps...
