4. Chapter 4 Currying
The eldest son, Chen Yuan, is in the tea business, and he is responsible for the expenses of the family, and he was originally engaged to a girl in the village where Wen Xiaomiao was born, but the girl was not spared from the great plague, and Chen Yuan was not engaged again.
The second son, Chen Mu, is eight years younger than Chen Yuan, surprisingly good-looking, very likable, and now studying in a private school.
Wen Xiaomiao thought about Aunt Li, so she asked Chen Yuan to bring someone to talk to Aunt Li, and said that Wen Xiaomiao was doing very well now, so she didn't have to worry about it.
Wen Xiaomiao is very sensible, although Mrs. Chen said that she doesn't need to do any work, but Wen Xiaomiao can't be idle, she always follows Liu's mother to do something, such as helping to carry vegetables on the street, moving pots and pans when cleaning the kitchen, and helping to dry clothes when washing clothes, sometimes when I see Mr. Chen watering flowers and planting grass in the yard, he chats with Mr. Chen while helping to carry the bucket, and also cleans the study of the Chen brothers every day.
Wen Xiaomiao quickly won the love of the whole family, except for the second son.
Every time Chen Mu saw Wen Xiaomiao, he raised his head high, full of arrogance, and screamed either ugly or stinky girls in his mouth, even Chen Mu Wen Xiaomiao felt that she was still very good-looking, and she was not angry.
Chen Mu is always looking for opportunities to hit her, as long as there is no one around, Chen Mu will throw words to her: "Look at you, your figure is really not good, the first time I saw you, I thought it was a man, and the appearance was not good, it was too ordinary, besides, you don't know a big character, you can't know a single big character, you can't do the same as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how can you have any common language with me, it's hard to stare at it after you get married, you really can't catch up with the lady of the upper family and can't catch up with the girl of the Liu family, how can you be worthy of me, hey, I'm worried about me, tell you, There are more good-looking young ladies who like me, I won't marry you, sooner or later I will ask my father and mother to cancel the marriage contract, you wait and see. ”
Wen Xiaomiao didn't care, every time she listened to what Chen Mu said, she just smiled, and she didn't argue, anyway, this is the future husband who has to give enough face.
But she really listened to her heart, and privately asked Chen Yuan to teach her to read when she was free, Chen Yuan found some simple words for Wen Xiaomiao to write on paper, and asked her to write them down if she had nothing to do, Wen Xiaomiao also worked hard, and Liu's mother said that she was like a demon, and she pointed to this shop and the name of the restaurant on the street, and if she didn't know it, she wrote it down and asked Chen Yuan when she was free.
Wen Xiaomiao didn't let Chen Yuan and Liu's mother tell Chen Mu that she wanted to surprise Chen Mu in the future.
Wen Xiaomiao also learned to cook with Liu's mother, carefully remembered what Chen Mu loved to eat, and then learned to do it according to Chen Mu's favorite food, but every time Chen Mu was very faceless, as soon as he heard that Wen Xiaomiao made it, he sneered, either salty or light, either hard or soft, which made Wen Xiaomiao quite embarrassed, Master Chen reprimanded Chen Mu a lot, so although Wen Xiaomiao still gave Chen Mu good food, he never told him that she made it.
Every day when Chen Mu went to private school, Wen Xiaomiao would pretend to work in the yard, then greet him, send him out with a smile, and watch him go to school with joy.
When school is out in the evening, Wen Xiaomiao will put the pork buns that Chen Mu likes to eat in a conspicuous place in the kitchen so that he can see them at a glance.
