Chen Jianguo was cooking in two pots at the same time, one for boiling water and noodles, and the other for stir-frying side dishes. His movements were very skillful, and it was obvious that he was constantly circling behind the stove.
He glanced at Chen Wang behind the stove. Since he dared to tease him, he couldn't hold it in.
He smiled mischievously and spoke without any hesitation to the person next door.
"Alas, Chen Wang, you just got married and you're already running around, not coming back for months. Don't you have another child outside?"
When Chen Wang heard this, his face changed and he quickly tilted his head to look outside, fearing that the two women next door would come over and hear this.
It doesn't matter if it's embarrassing, but what if his wife misunderstands and gets angry with him?
Although he has never done this, he often goes out, so it is inevitable that his wife will think too much.
Pointing at Chen Jianguo fearfully, he whispered, "What are you talking about! Am I that kind of person? If my wife hears this, I'll never let you go."
Chen Jianguo was just teasing her, but she didn't expect him to react so strongly.
They grew up together, so of course they know each other well.
Chen Jianguo curled his lips and said, "It's just a joke, no one will take it seriously. Hurry up and turn up the heat. I want to fry the meat."
Wu Juan was about to give birth, and Jiang Baige had nothing good to give her, so she went to the room and got out a baby bath towel.
Babies' skin is tender and soft, and cotton cloth at this age is of poor quality.
Giving this as a gift, she thought the cotton cloth they used must be good, and she thought Wu Juan would like it.
Jiang Baige took a bath towel, sat down next to Wu Juan, and then said.
"Comrade Wu Juan, this is for your baby. Use it to dry his body after bathing. It's very soft. Feel it."
The bath towel she took was specially made for babies and was much softer than the ones used by adults.
Wu Juan asked in surprise: "It's such a good thing, but you use it to wipe your body. What a waste!"
Jiang Baige said, "Little baby, your body is soft and your skin is very tender. This is specially made for babies."
Wu Juan raised her hand and touched it gently, then said, "It's so soft. Thank you, Comrade Bai Ge."
Jiang Baige smiled and said, "Why are you so polite? This is not worth much."
After a while, the two started talking about other things and talked about some things in Chenjia Village.
When the noodles were served, Jiang Baige said, "You must be hungry! It's time to eat."
Wu Juan said embarrassedly, "Thank you so much for cooking so many noodles for us."
She was really too polite. Jiang Baige was tired of hearing it. Why did she become so unpleasant after getting married?
He took her bowl and scooped a bowl of noodles for her.
"Try it, these noodles are delicious, with a great texture."
Chen Wang just looked around Jiang Baige's kitchen. The things inside were exactly the same as what they sold. And where did she get them from?
But since Chen Jianguo was here, he didn't dare ask more questions.
After lunch, it was already past one o'clock. Chen Jianguo went to the Armed Forces Department, and Jiang Baige sent Wu Juan and her husband to the bus.
Wu Juan's belly was so big that she could hardly bear it and walked very slowly. Fortunately, Chen Wang was patient and took care of her considerately.
After sending them to the car, Jiang Baige went home.
When Chen Wang and his friends arrived at the county town, it was almost dark. Wu Juan thought they were going to the hospital, but she didn't expect them to go somewhere else first.
In an alley, Chen Wang took out the key and opened the big iron lock on the door of a house.
Wu Juan asked with some confusion, "Brother, where is this?"
She looked at the house and realized it wasn't a guesthouse, so where did her man get the key?
Chen Wang smiled and helped her in, then said, "I'll tell you later. Stand here and don't move until I close the door."
It was getting dark. Wu Juan looked up at the house. Thinking that Chen Wang was often out and about, she thought that this might be a house he rented.
Chen Wang ran to open the door again, then came back and gently helped his wife into the house. After entering, he turned on the light.
Wu Juan was very surprised to see the electric lights here.
Electricity is very expensive nowadays and many families don’t have it. I didn’t expect that there are still electric lights available here.
Chen Wang put the luggage on the ground and helped his wife sit down on the chair.
He spoke cautiously, "Wife, I want to tell you something, please don't be angry."
Wu Juan thought Chen Wang had done something bad outside and was a little worried.
"What's wrong? Tell me what it is and we can solve it together."
When she spoke, she was obviously worried about herself.
Chen Wang burst out laughing. "Haha, what are you thinking! It's not a bad thing."
Wu Juan was relieved that it wasn't a bad thing, but she was also a little angry because of her ups and downs in her heart.
"You're teasing me, aren't you?"
The pregnant woman was angry, holding her hands but unable to reach, which looked very funny.
Chen Wang couldn't help but smile again and quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to tease you."
Wu Juan snorted and went to see him later.
Seeing that his wife was easy to coax, he then asked: "Wife, do you like this house?"
Wu Juan took a look at the room and found it was indeed better than their house, but what was the point of liking it since it wasn't their home.
He said unhappily: "What's the point of liking it? It's not ours."
Chen Wang took the key from his hand and placed it in her hand.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. If you like this house, it's ours."
Wu Juan was so scared that she tried to stand up quickly, but this action was seen by Chen Wang, who then pushed her back down and made her sit steadily.
He smiled and said, "I bought this. From now on, this house will be ours."
Wu Juan asked in surprise: "Ours, you won't lie to me!"
Chen Wang squatted down, stared into her eyes seriously, and spoke firmly.
"It's true. I've been running around outside just to make life better for my wife and children. We bought this house after we got married. I've already bought the furniture and am just waiting for the hostess to move in."
Wu Juan was immediately very happy when she heard this.
People in the village always talk about her finding a gangster and not being home all day long. How could a good educated youth like her look down on Chen Wang?
For a while, she was depressed. When she couldn't see Chen Wang, she wondered if she was a fool and was deceived by the little gangster they called her.
For a while, she lived very cautiously, fearing that she would end up like Zhang Yan and end up in a family like that.
Seeing the man in front of her, Wu Juan suddenly smiled again.
"Thank you, brother. I like it here very much."
When Chen Wang saw his wife smile, he quickly helped her up.
"Come on, your man will show you around the house."
Wu Juan couldn't suppress the smile on her face and raised her hand for him to support her. She was also anxious to see the house.
Chen Wang bought a house in the county town and asked his acquaintances to help him find a job.
He made a lot of money this year and now has some money. He wants to find a job for his wife here so that she won't have to work hard in the village in the future.
His wife, an educated young woman, married him, and he didn't want her to live a life of farming and raising children in the countryside.
