Zhou Tieniu and Zhou Zhuzi just looked at Cheng Xiangchun in the crowd with indifference, and no one went up to pull her up.
Speaking of which, Cheng Xiangchun and Zhou Tieniu were in a free love relationship.
At that time, Cheng Xiangchun was not favored at home and felt very depressed. When he went up the mountain to collect grass for pigs, he happened to meet Zhou Tieniu, who was ridiculed by the villagers.
The two young men each had their own thoughts, and gradually became familiar with each other. They also felt a sense of sympathy for each other. Finally, they were attracted by each other and settled their lifelong affairs on the mountain.
When Cheng Xiangchun returned home, she told her parents that she wanted to marry Zhou Tieniu from the Baiyang Brigade. Naturally, her parents disagreed. Later, they found out that the marriage was already a fait accompli, so they had no choice but to accept it.
The Cheng family had always favored boys over girls, and since Cheng Xiangchun had done such a shameful thing, naturally there was no dowry at all, and they didn't even have a wedding banquet. They just let Zhou Tieniu take her back and that was it.
Because of this incident, Cheng Xiangchun could not hold her head up in her husband's family, and Zhou Tieniu was not liked by his parents because of his dark skin. The two of them had always been the workhorses of the Zhou family.
Because of this, Cheng Xiangchun held a grudge against the Cheng family and even did not attend the funeral of his own father.
Yesterday, the people from the Baiyang Brigade returned to the village and fought with Lu Chen. Cheng Mingyue exaggerated the fact that her family protected him and told Cheng Xiangchun about it, which made her feel even more unbalanced.
Cheng Xiangchun had made up his mind to come here and cause trouble today. When he saw Lu Chen's bowl full of meat and vegetables, he couldn't suppress the hatred in his heart, which led to what happened just now.
But none of the Cheng family knew about this.
Maybe even if they knew, they wouldn't care, and Lu Chen was even less likely to care.
He was now thinking about something else.
Cheng Mingyue and Zhang Lan went home after cleaning up the dishes.
In the afternoon, Cheng Mingyue didn't go anywhere. She was lying on the table writing a manuscript.
Cheng Mingyue wrote and revised the whole afternoon and finally finished two manuscripts. She decided to send the manuscripts to the newspaper when she had time to go to town.
In the evening, Cheng Mingyue knew that Lu Chen had a big appetite, so she decided to give him an extra meal.
Lu Chen, who was lighting the fire, looked at the busy Cheng Mingyue, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, "Mingyue, can you...can you help my grandpa and the others make something delicious."
Cheng Mingyue paused while cooking and asked with a smile, "Sure, what do your grandpa and the others like to eat?"
Seeing Cheng Mingyue agreed, Lu Chen's eyes lit up with joy, "My grandfather and uncle are just like me. They like spicy food and meat."
Cheng Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "For situations like your grandpa and uncle's, it's best to make something that can last. How about I make some chili chicken sauce for them?"
Lu Chen: "Okay, but where can we get the chicken now? How about we wait a couple of days and have someone deliver the chicken before we start cooking."
Cheng Mingyue looked at Lu Chen with a smile, and then a pheasant with its wings flapping appeared in her hand.
Lu Chen: "...Where did it come from?"
Cheng Mingyue handed the chicken to Lu Chen and said, "I went to the mountains at noon and caught a few rabbits and pheasants. I put them all in the space and now I can use them."
Cheng Mingyue then asked, "Are you going to send something to your grandpa?"
"Yeah." Lu Chen just responded and said nothing more.
Cheng Mingyue knew that Lu Chen still had some secrets, but she didn't dare to ask him any more questions and continued to busy herself with her own things.
After they finished dinner, Lu Chen went to the backyard to kill a chicken, while Cheng Mingyue cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen.
Chili chicken sauce actually requires a lot of ingredients, but the conditions now don’t allow it, so Cheng Mingyue made a simple version.
It is best to use chicken breast to make chili chicken sauce, marinate it with salt and cut it into small pieces, and also cut the dried chilies, onions, ginger and garlic into small pieces.
Heat the pan with cold oil. After the oil is hot, pour in diced dried chilies, chopped green onions, ginger and garlic, stir-fry until fragrant. Add the diced chicken and continue to stir-fry until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Finally, add some soy sauce for color.
Do not add water during the entire process, not even a drop.
After it cools down completely, just put it in a jar. It is a great choice to put it in steamed buns or mix it with noodles.
Cheng Mingyue scooped out a small spoonful and handed it to Lu Chen's mouth, "Try it, how does it taste?"
Lu Chen had now accepted the advice without any hesitation. He opened his mouth and started eating. After chewing, he felt that he could eat half a bowl of chicken chili sauce alone.
"It's so delicious! Grandpa and uncle will definitely like it."
When talking about his grandfather and uncle, Lu Chen's eyes lit up a little, and his eyes were full of admiration.
No wonder.
Lu Chen's parents went abroad when he was ten years old. As a young boy, he only had his grandparents and his maternal uncles who truly cared about him, so naturally he had extraordinary feelings for them.
Thinking of this, Cheng Mingyue took out the loquat leaves she had picked on the mountain at noon from her space, "Lu Zhiqing, I heard that loquat leaves are very effective in treating coughs. How about we boil some loquat leaf water for your grandfather? Maybe it will be of some help in treating his illness."
Lu Chen was stunned at first, then he was ecstatic.
He thought Cheng Mingyue would not be able to cure his grandfather so quickly. He thought most of what she said before were excuses, and he was ready to win her over with sugar-coated bullets. He didn't expect happiness to come so quickly.
Lu Chen happily hugged Cheng Mingyue and spun around several times. He slowly put her down amid Cheng Mingyue's exclamations and said with a red face:
"I'm sorry, Mingyue, I... I... I'm too excited, too happy..."
Cheng Mingyue was almost scared to death by Lu Chen's reckless look. After she recovered, she glared at him fiercely.
"I know you're excited and happy, but you have to understand that we had an agreement beforehand that we can't have any physical contact. If you dare to do that again, I'll make you pay!"
Lu Chen looked at Cheng Mingyue who was glaring at him coquettishly under the light, and felt a little dazed.
He also noticed that Cheng Mingyue's eyes seemed a little bigger, her nose a little straighter, and her mouth a little pinker, softer, and smoother, which made him wonder...
Lu Chen shook off the dirty thoughts that had just flooded into his mind and calmed himself down.
Still so fat! Still so fat! Still so fat!
Still that fat girl.
fortunately!
fortunately!
Lu Chen cleared his throat and earnestly assured Cheng Mingyue, "I'm sorry, I was wrong just now. I will definitely remember the agreement and will never make the same mistake again."
Cheng Mingyue: "...Just remember it. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first."
After Cheng Mingyue left, Lu Chen stayed in the kitchen alone for a long time. He felt inexplicably irritated.
