"Why is there no sound? Are the young couple fighting?"
"Probably not. They are not the type to quarrel over trivial matters."
"If a woman comes to our house and gossips, I can beat you two so hard that your parents won't recognize you. It's only because Jiaxue is soft-hearted that I would have quarreled with you eight hundred times otherwise."
Yang Daya said while eating.
Zhang Lihua nodded in agreement. No one could stand having a woman come to stir up trouble from time to time.
Old Man Li said, "Ming Qing knows what's going on and won't do anything out of line. Stop talking nonsense."
After Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue entered the house, everyone continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
"Mom, let's go back first."
After he said that, he picked up Niu Niu and prepared to go back.
"Are you full? Sit down and eat some more."
"I ate a big bowl of dumplings and felt so full that I didn't need to eat dinner."
Old Lady Li sent the two of them out.
She whispered to Li Mingqing, "Are you okay?"
"Nothing."
"It's okay if you're fine. If you have something to say, just talk about it. Don't let your wife keep it in her heart, otherwise something bad will happen sooner or later."
The two of them had just started talking.
Sun Jiaxue was putting the soaked soybeans into an iron bucket to grind into soy milk.
"Wife, come, I'll carry it."
"I can just carry it on a shoulder pole."
"No, one bucket in each hand is just right."
He is now extremely strong and can kill a cow with one punch.
After saying that, he went over and easily picked up the two iron buckets.
As easy as picking up a ladle.
"Brother Mingqing, if you're tired, put it down and I'll carry it for a while."
These hands are extremely precious. They are used to save lives and cannot be tired.
"Your man, this job is a piece of cake for me."
The two of them came to the stone mill chatting and laughing, while Da Niu and a few others were playing with Niu Niu at home.
Lin Mei and Li Dahua, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, are also grinding soybeans.
"Sister-in-law, are you making tofu tonight too?"
"Yes, my sister-in-law is back and I'm going to make some tofu for her."
"Wait a moment, there's still a little more than half a scoop left. You can continue directly later. It's better to arrive early than to arrive at the right time."
Sun Jiaxue smiled and said, "Okay, we're not in a hurry."
Li Dahua stretched her neck and looked at the two buckets.
I was so greedy looking at those big and plump soybeans.
"Your soybeans are really good. I thought my own soybeans were good enough, but I never expected them to be incomparable to yours."
"Auntie, I only picked the big one. I didn't put the small one in."
Lin Mei smiled and said, "This is the first time I've seen soybeans this big."
Li Xiangxia came to look for Li Dahua and never expected to meet them here.
Li Dahua poured all the ground soy milk into a bucket, and she and Lin Mei each carried a wooden stick and prepared to go home. When they turned around, they saw their daughter.
Leave quickly to avoid a quarrel.
But it was still too late.
At this time, Li Mingqing was turning the millstone, very easily.
"Brother Mingqing, let me do it. You take a break."
"No, just add beans and water. It's not tiring when men and women work together."
Li Xiangxia strode over and felt uncomfortable seeing the peaceful atmosphere between the two of them.
"Oh, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here. Mingqing, you, a grown man, are actually doing women's work. If people tell others about it, they will laugh at you. I never realized that Jiaxue is not only lazy but also useless. She needs your help for such a small matter."
Li Dahua grabbed her arm and tried to pull her away.
I really can't pull it off, I have to say a few words.
Lin Mei didn't know what was going on between them, but her sister-in-law had been looking gloomy since she came home at noon.
Li Mingqing said: "It's none of your business."
"If a man spends all day hanging around the stove, the villagers will definitely laugh at him."
"none of your business."
"Sun Jiaxue, can't you even do this little bit of work on your own? You don't have any sense of duty as a wife."
Just as Sun Jiaxue was about to speak, she heard Li Mingqing say, "Who do you think you are? You're pointing fingers at my family's affairs. What you say is nonsense. If you're mad, go home and get angry. Don't be an eyesore here."
Seeing this, Lin Mei said, "Xiang Xia, let's go home first."
"If you want to go back, go back. You've been married to me for so long and there's no sign of pregnancy. You still have the nerve to talk like that and go out. It's embarrassing."
Li Dahua reached out and covered her mouth.
In order to avoid saying anything shocking again, you have no self-control and dare to say anything.
"Mom, let go..."
He covered her mouth and pulled her away.
Lin Mei carried two buckets of soy milk back home on a shoulder pole.
Sun Jiaxue took Li Xiangxia's words to heart.
There is indeed no man in the village who helps with everything like Li Mingqing.
She cooked and he went into the kitchen to light the fire.
She was washing clothes and he went to help her get the basin.
…
Whenever he saw her working at home, he would help her to some extent.
This might really make him be laughed at by the villagers, who would say he is afraid of his wife.
"Wife, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, I just think what Xiang Xia said makes some sense."
"That makes a lot of sense."
"But it's exactly as she said. The villagers might think you're afraid of your wife, which would make you lose face."
"There's nothing shameful about this."
He already has enough face, and the villagers only say a few words to him sometimes.
Li Mingqing pushed the stone mill and ground all the soybeans in about half an hour.
Not tired at all.
It just made Sun Jiaxue very worried.
I remember that I couldn’t push the millstone before, but now it is so easy.
When they got home, she asked him to sit down and massage her shoulders.
