Chapter 101: Someone Else's Wife
Cheng Wanyu didn't know that this well-prepared romance not only shocked Shi Jun but also his colleagues.
Although only the person concerned, Shi Jun, knew that she was unhappy, the virtuous image she left for Shi Jun in front of others was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
There is no moon before the flowers, but the hazy lights, exquisite food accompanied by a faint fragrance of flowers make a few rough old men really feel the difference.
Chen Bingyi has never eaten such exquisite food, although the conditions at home are not as good as others. But he still had eaten the dishes on the table. are also women, why are other women's women so emotional and sensible?
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he staggered home. Pushing open the small wooden door of the house, the woman crouching in the dark stood up. took a few steps forward to support her, and said softly, "Going out to eat?" ”
"It's so dark, why don't you light it up in the yard?" Just like the Shi family, it's warm when you look at it, although it's useless.
"What do you do with some wax? No need to spend money! Chen Bingyi's casual answer seemed to confirm and asked, "What did you eat in the Xiangkou Tavern?" It's Lao Xie's money again, I'm afraid I can't, I'm invited to eat today. ”
After speaking, he paused and said with some suspicion: "Didn't you invite you to eat and drink?" ”
Seeing that he didn't speak, he was a little anxious: "Is it really the meal you invited to eat?" What are you going to eat outside, I've made you your favorite meals at home. ”
Chen Bingyi had already entered the house, and saw that the room was also dark, damp and stuffy. Thinking about being in the courtyard of the Shi family just now, I deliberately walked to the door of the second entrance when I was leaving. In the brightly lit house, say goodbye to Cheng Wanyu, the hostess.
As soon as the door opened, Cheng Wanyu walked out of the room with a generous demeanor. Stand at the door and say goodbye to everyone with a smile. watched everyone leave the second gate.
How can I go home by myself, cold and damp and there is no light. It's like a bunch of dead people at home, and there's no heat at all.
Seeing Chen Bingyi sitting on the kang, the woman hurriedly lit the oil lamp and moved over. Looking at the already cold dishes on the kang table, Chen Bingyi frowned and asked, "Have the children eaten?" ”
He didn't know what Chen Bingyi was turning over in his heart at this time. Nodding as usual, he said, "Yes, the children have finished eating." What about the good food left for you, but it's a pity that you spend money outside again! ”
Chen Bingyi knew the woman's careful thoughts, and he was asking how much money he spent. This woman is just stingy and awkward.
"The meal I ate at Shi's house didn't cost anything!" Chen Bingyi felt a little bored. I opened the dish that was covered with a plate but had already cooled down.
A plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of fried bacon, and a plate of fried sloppy greens and braised pork that has curdled into a puddle of fat. The four dishes are two of the same as those made by the Shi family's sister, but the appearance is simply too bad.
"Eat at her house?" Chen Bingyi's family was a little surprised, and then squinted his eyes and said, "Her family is very generous." I must have made a lot of delicious food! ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward to clean up the table, but saw Chen Bingyi pick up the chopsticks and seemed to want to eat again. He didn't move again, and sat down on the kang again to look at him.
"Hey! Originally, it was a couple of people who spent the moon before and after, and a few of us had a faceless meal. Not to mention, look at her delicate and weak appearance. This meal is well done, and there are two dishes that are the same as ours! "The man who saw him praised another woman for the second time, and it was the one who was bewitching.
Her face pulled down, and she began to feel a little unhappy. The mouth pouted dismissively: "Of course." There's a little maid calling for it. What did she do like our family? You haven't eaten what I made, how do you know it's not as good as her? ”
Chen Bingyi sneered, and the chopsticks in his hand tossed the fried soft vegetables. Poked the hard flesh again. Skimming the chopsticks: "I've eaten for so many years, and I still don't know your two clicks?" ”
The woman's face turned white immediately, and she didn't dare to reply, but she just got off the table with the dishes softly. Looking at the dim room, Chen Bingyi was completely sleepy.
A few candles were turned out and lit, and the room was immediately lit up like dawn. Chen Bingyi felt a lot more comfortable at this time, and he didn't look worse than others.
Unexpectedly, Chen Bingyi's family hurriedly ran into the house. The man who saw her did nothing, but lit all the candles. I didn't dare to raise my voice, but I couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?" ”
"It's dark, don't light the lights?" Chen Bingyi glared. When his woman saw that he was not happy, she beat a drum in her heart and did not dare to speak. But after enduring it for a long time, he still spoke: "Otherwise, blow a few, it will cost a lot of money to waste these waxes!" ”
"Why can't we even light wax in our house? That money I give you a month. Where did you spend it? Chen Bingyi was annoyed, and he saw other people's beautiful, sensible and gentle daughters-in-law. When I turned around, I saw his mother-in-law who had combed his hair messily, and his blue coat had not changed for thousands of years. I always feel that I have lost a lot, and I really can't hold my head up.
Hearing Chen Bingyi's suspicions, the woman immediately held her mouth and cried. I didn't dare to cry loudly, so I could only stand in the middle of the ground with a grin and whimper quietly.
The more this is the case, the more Chen Bingyi feels that there is no beauty at all. The little fire in his body was still surging, and he frowned: "Look at you, make yourself look like an eighty-year-old old lady." If you don't have any color, you can't learn from the Shi family? ”
This is the third time, the third time. Chen Bingyi's family felt that their man was going to be abducted by that woman. It's just that I ate a meal, and when I came back, I hated myself.
At this point, the crying became even more sad.
Chen Bingyi's family didn't know why his mother-in-law was crying like this, and she could still make her bed while crying, while making hot water for herself, washing her face, and waiting for him to lie down and sleep.
It's just crying and crying while working, as if he has been greatly wronged. Isn't it just for her to learn how to dress up well, why is it just screwed like this?
In a daze, I heard the woman chattering beside me and still crying. Annoyed, he stretched out his foot and kicked it, and there was no movement in his ears, so he turned over and fell asleep.
The woman on the other side was biting the horns of the quilt, heartbroken and eager to bite Cheng Wanyu.
Of course, Cheng Wanyu doesn't know about this in Chen Bingyi's family, and now she has to be driven crazy by her sister-in-law if her ears are not clean.
"My family said that you made a small lantern that was beautiful, and that your cooking was delicious. Why don't you teach me, and the next time they come back, I'll make one too!" Sister-in-law Gao always thought that Cheng Wanyu had made a novel dish that had to be eaten with a lantern.
Cheng Wanyu explained for a long time, but she couldn't understand. Why do you have a meal, you don't order so many lanterns that don't light up and cost wax. In the end, Gao's sister-in-law's enthusiasm was defeated by delicacy, and she felt troublesome when she saw Cheng Wanyu's small plate and bowl, so she no longer insisted on it.
After Shi Jun left, the families began to prepare autumn vegetables. In this part of North County, every home has a deep vegetable cellar. All the food prepared for the winter is put in the cellar and has been stored.
Cabbage, radish, pumpkin, sweet potato, yam are all essential vegetables. In addition, there are dried eggplants, dried beans, dried loofahs, and gourd strips that can not be eaten in summer.
Nowadays, every household is preparing these, and some people are starting to pickle pickles. Usually a few familiar women, make it for your house today, and pickle it for me tomorrow.
Cheng Wanyu has also eaten these dried vegetables, but she only eats them fresh occasionally. Her much-loved little daughter can eat fresh vegetables every day. But she knew that there were dried vegetables in her sister-in-law's share. Not to mention, Xiao Cui described to her the life of the Cheng family. In addition to cabbage and radish in winter, roasting two sweet potatoes occasionally is like the New Year.
Cui Xiyue and Ma Mingyue have recently looked at each other, and they have come and gone very frequently, and they have their own faction in this alley.
Xie Zhi'an's family, Chen Bingyi's family, and Gao Sister-in-law are another group, of course, whether Cheng Wanyu wants it or not, they all think that she is in this small group.
When she started to prepare for work, Sister-in-law Gao asked Cheng Wanyu what day she wanted to be in line. Cheng Wanyu only said that her mother's family would send it over, and there was no need to prepare it at home.
This excuse made Gao's sister-in-law envious, so she gave up letting Cheng Wanyu join the army of pickles and vegetables. is busy every day, so he can't bother to play with Cheng Wanyu.
said that she didn't prepare, how could Cheng Wanyu not prepare winter vegetables. When the previous family was ruined, she drank the northwest wind in winter? It's just that I married a good man in this life, and my life went well, so I didn't want to live so roughly.
When your house is built, even if you don't open a shop and rent it out, you will have a lot of rent every year. With that money, what's the point of wanting to buy some fresh vegetables?
But she can't not prepare at all, and there are also winter storage vegetables prepared by ordinary people in the kitchen cellar. Sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and yams are durable and delicious, so naturally a lot of them are prepared.
But what is different from others is the fresh dishes prepared by Cheng Wanyu in the wing. Their family generally does not have anyone to stay, and even if there are guests, they will only return to Huaizhou Mansion.
So Cheng Wanyu thought, since the east and west wings are useless. It's better to find something for her to play with, so that she can survive the long and boring winter.
While the big guys were working, Cheng Wanyu asked Xiaocui to clean up a side room. And they spread the planks on the kang, by the windowsill, and on the ground, and sprinkled fine soil on them, and fertilized them.
Leeks are planted on the ground, garlic seedlings are planted by the windowsill, celery is planted on the kang, and coriander is planted in pots on the idle wall. Even the flower pots in the kitchen and Xiao Cui's room are planted with chili peppers.
All you need to do is keep a brazier in the wing room and go in and water it often. These vegetables can also improve their lives and give the master and servant some fun.
When the first snow fell, Cheng Wanyu finally cut the first crop of leeks. happily wrapped leek egg dumplings and gave them to the tall sister-in-law next door to try.
Unexpectedly, this kind act actually annoyed Ma Mingyue, who couldn't be beaten by eight poles.
She ran to Cheng Wanyu angrily, pointed to her face and did not hide her disgust: "What annoys me the most is that you are like this, playing a virtuous sister-in-law all day long." I just want other people's men to look down on you and squeeze other daughters-in-law! (To be continued)
