Chapter 43: The Temptation
"But then again, if I'm not mistaken, you're quite old, why haven't you married a daughter-in-law until now?" Zhang Ruolin asked with some curiosity, you must know that getting married now, especially in rural areas, is generally about seventeen or eighteen years old, and Zhao Jianguo is almost thirty years old, and he is not married, which is rare in today's era.
"There was no time. Zhao Jianguo replied lightly.
"Don't have time? There are so many young ladies in the art troupe, isn't there a suitable one?"
Zhao Jianguo glanced at Zhang Ruolin and exhaled slightly, "There is no suitable one." ”
"You're really picky. ”
"I've never been picky. ”
Zhang Ruolin raised her head and glanced at Zhao Jianguo, why did her tone feel a little rushed? She didn't say the wrong thing! After rubbing the last piece of clothing clean and throwing it in the basket, Zhang Ruolin poured the dirty water in the basin into the gutter.
Picking up the bucket and grabbing the rope, Zhang Ruolin put the bucket into the well, shook it a few times, pulled it up, and poured it into the wooden basin.
Zhang Ruolin glanced at Zhao Jianguo again, raised her eyebrows, opened her mouth, and finally didn't speak.
After washing the clothes, Zhang Ruolin returned to the room, took out a wooden drying rack, dried the clothes on the rope, picked up a big broom and swept the weeds pulled out of the yard to the corner.
Glancing at Zhao Jianguo who was sitting at the door of the room with an expressionless face, this man has a sick brain? It wasn't she who mentioned it, and she didn't say the wrong thing, do you need to be angry?
Entering the kitchen, lifting the lid of the pot and taking a look, Zhang Ruolin picked up the rag and took the pot down, replaced a briquette, closed the seal under the coal stove a little, and threw a green onion into the pot.
After a basin of water, he walked into the hall with the water, ready to clean up the hall.
Zhang Jianguo turned his head, leaned back on the chair, looked at the busy back in the hall, frowned slightly, and after a while, sighed in a low voice.
The hall and the room were carefully cleaned up, and even the floor was taken off N times, and it was already noon.
Wringed a bucket of well water, washed her hands, Zhang Ruolin came to the kitchen, smelled the fragrance all over the room, and took a deep breath, it is really not an ordinary fragrance, the local chicken of Zhenzong is different.
Lifting the lid, Zhang Ruolin picked up a pair of chopsticks, inserted the chicken, nodded slightly, and stewed for more than three hours, and finally stewed.
Picking up the largest bowl, Zhang Ruolin filled a bowl and walked out.
Zhao Jianguo glanced at Zhang Ruolin and hurriedly put away the red notebook, "Okay?"
Zhang Ruolin pouted and nodded, "Let's eat! ”
"It's too much, so can you finish eating?"
"You can eat all of them. ”
After speaking, Zhang Ruolin turned around and returned to the kitchen with a smile, picked up a bowl, and sandwiched the chicken wings, chicken feet and chicken neck in the pot into the bowl.
Sitting at the door of the kitchen, basking in the warm sun, Zhang Ruolin squinted her eyes, eating the old hen in the bowl, her face was full of happiness, and a bowl of broken chicken was quickly wiped out.
Zhang Ruolin stood up, glanced at Zhao Jianguo's room opposite, put the bowl on the kitchen table, and turned back to the room.
I went to the cafeteria in the space, tore off a piece of paper, tore off the packaging of the noodles, wrapped it in paper and took it out, after all, there were some production dates and addresses on it, and if I took it out, it would definitely reveal the filling.
Put the chicken in the pot in a large bowl, put some cold water in it, stand there and wait until the water boils, Zhang Ruolin put the noodles into the pot.
Zhao Jianguo walked in with a bowl, looked at the bowl of chicken on the table, and raised his eyebrows, "You didn't eat it?"
"Eat!"
"Why are you still after eating?"
"I don't like to eat these. ”
"It's not the Zhao family now, there's no need to wronged yourself, do you still look like a person?"
Zhang Ruolin rolled her eyes and scolded in her heart: You don't look like a person, your whole family doesn't look like a person. "What am I wronged myself for? I bought the chicken, I got it, and I still need you to talk about it?"
Lifting the lid of the pot and picking up the noodles on the table, Zhang Ruolin asked, "How many noodles do you eat?"
"This bowl is half a bowl. ”
Zhang Ruolin nodded, sprinkled the noodles into the pot, took the chopsticks and gently fluctuated a few times, and covered the pot.
After simmering for a few minutes, Zhang Ruolin lifted the lid of the pot and stretched out his hand, and Zhao Jianguo handed the bowl over.
Filled with half a bowl of noodles and scooped some soup into it, Zhang Ruolin grabbed the green onions in the bowl and sprinkled them on it, "It's okay, if it's not enough to eat, you can say it, you're welcome, anyway, you gave the money." ”
Zhao Jianguo said "um", glanced at the noodles on the table, took the bowl, and put it on the table, "Help me bring the bench in the room, thank you." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
"Trouble, ma'am. ”
Zhang Ruolin glanced at Zhao Jianguo, her little face was hot, if it weren't for the fact that her complexion was too dark, she would definitely have a big red face, she glanced at it, put down the bowl in her hand, and walked out quickly.
Zhao Jianguo smiled slightly, picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched the noodles with chopsticks, stared at the noodles in front of him with some contemplation, made of fine flour, put it in his mouth, it felt a little light, picked up the small teacup with salt on the table, and put some salt into the bowl.
Seeing Zhang Ruolin walk in with two long benches, Zhao Jianguo smiled.
Zhang Ruolin glanced at her, picked up some soup on the table, turned around and prepared to walk out.
"Sit and eat. ”
"I'm going out to eat. ”
"I'm asking you something. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Do you have time in the afternoon?"
"In the afternoon, I was going to clean up the backyard and plant some vegetables, but now that the weather is warmer, that is, it is colder at night, so planting some cabbage and covering it with straw is not a big problem. Do you have something?"
Zhao Jianguo nodded, "Accompany me for a walk around the county in the afternoon, I want to buy some things." ”
"You can buy something and say no to me, your legs are inconvenient. ”
"It made me think, I know, clothes, shoes, all this mess, I have to buy some of it. ”
"Are you okay with your legs? Don't sprain it, and then it's going to be troublesome. ”
"There's crutches, and I don't have any strength in my legs. ”
"You were bleeding from your leg two days ago, you forgot?"
"I was kicked by the little bunny cub of the GI's house. ”
Zhang Ruolin let out an "oh", "If you're not tired, I don't care." ”
"Going after eating?"
"I'll have to sleep after dinner, and you'll call me at two o'clock. ”
Zhao Jianguo nodded slightly,
