Chen Shanhe was confused, "Isn't my sister-in-law at home?"
"She came out to complain to you a long time ago." Jiang Shiyue felt a little guilty, "Because I didn't give her chicken soup."
Chen Shanhe nodded, not at all surprised that Jiang Shiyue would do this.
He calmly opened the lid of the pot and used chopsticks to poke the braised pork to test its tenderness.
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
She followed Chen Shanhe and asked, "Aren't you going to look for her?"
"It's okay, it won't be lost." Chen Shanhe put the braised pork into a white porcelain bowl and turned to wash the pot. "The compound is not a place where you can enter and exit casually. The person must still be in the yard."
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
It seems so.
So I felt relieved.
She didn't like Zhao Caifeng but she didn't want anything to happen to her either.
Since Chen Shanhe said it was okay, she didn't bother to care.
Chen Shanhe brought the braised pork home and let them eat it first, while he went out to find Zhao Caifeng.
**
Zhao Caifeng was hanging on the hull of the plane.
There are many small courtyards in the big courtyard, and the roads are winding.
Zhao Caifeng had never left the commune where her hometown was for most of her life. She didn't know where the kitchen was, had a poor sense of direction, and her vision was not as clear at night as during the day. After turning out of the archway of the family compound, she soon got lost.
Zhao Caifeng was not stupid. She knew the compound was safe and was not afraid of getting lost. She turned left and right and walked to the front of the office building.
In the center of the compound, there is a two-story office building. In front of the building stands the shell of an old fighter plane with its internal organs hollowed out.
Zhao Caifeng had never seen an airplane, and she didn't understand that the plane in front of her was just the shell.
She only knew that the fact that she had seen an airplane was enough for her to brag about for a whole year when she returned to the production team. If she could just sit on one and touch it, it would be worth her whole life.
Zhao Caifeng was so excited that she even forgot about eating meat. Seeing that there was no one around, she used her hands and feet to climb onto the casing.
Zhao Caifeng, who had been doing farm work for a long time, was very strong and quickly climbed to the top of the plane. However, her joy turned into sorrow and she could not get down from the plane.
But Zhao Caifeng felt guilty and didn't dare to shout loudly, so she could only sit on the plane and wait for Chen Shanhe to come and find her.
When Chen Shanhe found Zhao Caifeng, she was riding outside the transparent cover, lying on the shell with all four limbs, snoring with her head tilted.
He must have been exhausted from traveling all the way.
Chen Shanhe brought a ladder and woke up Zhao Caifeng. He wanted to send her directly to the arranged guesthouse, but Zhao Caifeng refused and insisted on going back to eat meat.
Chen Shanhe wanted to persuade her, but Zhao Caifeng accused him of being ungrateful and helping Jiang Shiyue to treat her harshly, and she walked straight to the family compound cursing.
Along the way, he was either cursing Jiang Shiyue or Chen Shanhe.
Chen Shanhe followed silently behind him.
There are some things Jiang Shiyue can say and some things Jiang Shiyue can do, but he can't.
**
In the end, Zhao Caifeng didn't get to eat the meat.
When Chen Shanhe brought Zhao Caifeng home, Jiang Shiyue and Yangyang were lying on Chen Shanhe's bed. It was not known whether they were really asleep or pretending to be asleep, but they had their backs to them.
Wu Xiu'e was not in the outer room.
Chen Shanhe glanced at the door of the inner room. Since Jiang Shiyue was in the outer room, his mother should be sleeping in the inner room.
He noticed that his mother's washed foot bindings were placed in a basin by the door.
Chen Shanhe subconsciously looked at the big bed again.
He and Jiang Shiyue had been married for almost four years, and that was the only time they had slept in the same bed together.
Even though she was fully dressed and lying on his bed, he still felt something strange in his heart.
Zhao Caifeng went straight to the square table.
There was a bowl and a thermos left on the table.
There were two pieces of braised pork left in the bowl, with more lean meat and less fat.
In 1978, when people were short of food and clothing, people preferred to eat fatty meat.
There wasn't much chicken soup left in the thermos, but there were still a few pieces of meat.
When Zhao Caifeng took a closer look, she was almost furious. How could there be chicken in the thermos?
A chicken head, two chicken feet, two wing tips and two chicken necks.
She turned around and tugged at Chen Shanhe's sleeve, pulling him towards the table. Pointing at the bowl and then the thermos with her other hand, she angrily accused him, "Look at you, my good wife! What did you leave for me?!"
Chen Shanhe didn't say anything.
In fact, he thought the two pieces of braised pork were left for him.
With Jiang Shiyue's vengeful nature, how could he possibly leave anything for Zhao Caifeng?
Chen Shanhe glanced at the bed again, and Jiang Shiyue had her back to them.
He said, "Sister-in-law, you'd better keep your voice down. If you wake Jiang Shiyue up, I'm afraid you won't get any of these two pieces."
Zhao Caifeng: “…”
Without saying a word, she stuffed both pieces of braised pork into her mouth, picked up the thermos and drank the soup directly from it.
Chen Shanhe frowned, but it was too late to stop it.
He didn't want to steal the meat, he simply thought that Zhao Caifeng's behavior was unhygienic.
Zhao Caifeng was about to start cursing before her gluttony was satisfied. Chen Shanhe was afraid of waking Jiang Shiyue up, so he promised to take her to a restaurant in the city tomorrow. Only then did Zhao Caifeng shut up and follow him to the guesthouse.
After settling Zhao Caifeng down, Chen Shanhe returned to wash and put away the dishes. He sat at the table for a while, then stood up, walked to the bed, bent over, and reached out...
Jiang Shiyue just turned over.
Her red lips brushed against his.
Chen Shanhe froze.
It was just a light kiss, but it made him feel like being scratched by a cat.
Jiang Shiyue blinked her eyelashes rapidly.
Obviously pretending to sleep.
Jiang Shiyue felt very conflicted.
Keep pretending? He was unwilling to be taken advantage of by Chen Shanhe for no reason.
Why not keep pretending? Wouldn't it be less embarrassing if I opened my eyes now?
After hesitating for a while, I didn't hear any movement and thought Chen Shanhe had left. I opened my eyes and saw an enlarged face in front of me. In the dim light, I looked into a pair of starry eyes.
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
Chen Shanhe: “…”
