Chapter Thirty-Nine: The One Who Eats Soft Rice
Guo Chengling also saw his little wife, and he lifted the things in his hand to greet him. When she got closer, Lin Xiaowan saw that the man's head was sweating, and his face was a little red.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped Guo Chengling's sweat on her feet, and couldn't help complaining about him in her mouth.
"Silly or not, just standing in the sun, I don't know how to find a shady place. How long are you going to be here if I don't come out? When did it come? How long have you been waiting? ”
Guo Chengling enjoyed the tenderness of a little woman, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, but she said, "It didn't take long, and it was just a while." ”
Lin Xiaowan gave him a blank look, her hair was wet, and she said that it didn't take long.
Knowing that he must be more than what he said in his mouth just arrived for a while, I didn't press him anymore. Putting the veil away, she winked at Guo Chengling mysteriously.
"Hey, guess how much money I made today?"
Guo Chengling frowned and thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Five taels? ”
He had seen Liu's embroidered handkerchiefs and estimated the approximate price, but he never visited these fat powder shops, and the details were not very clear.
Lin Xiaowan lifted the bamboo basket and secretly opened the money bag a little, revealing that it was full of silver and copper coins, lowered her voice, and looked at Guo Chengling with bright eyes.
"No, let me tell you, my mother's embroidered handkerchief was sold for seven taels of silver!"
Her voice couldn't hide her excitement, and her two apricot eyes widened, as if they were glowing.
The whole body revealed the message of "praise me", Guo Chengling couldn't help but stretch out his hand and rub his little wife's hairy little head,
"So much? Is my daughter-in-law so powerful? ”
There was a smile in his voice.
Lin Xiaowan blushed uncontrollably, she covered the basket and glared at someone: "Don't move your hands and feet, it's not good for people to see it." ”
The man took advantage of it and was in a good mood, so he naturally would not refute it. Touching his nose, he changed the subject and said, "Are you hungry?" What would you like to eat? ”
Don't say it, I don't think it, being asked by Guo Chengling, Lin Xiaowan really felt a little hungry.
After tossing all morning, the things I ate in the morning have already been digested.
The two found a roadside stall and sat down, Guo Chengling ordered four steamed buns, and asked Lin Xiaowan for a bowl of wontons.
Lin Xiaowan saw that he only ordered these, and asked the boss for a wonton.
Guo Chengling smiled helplessly, "I just eat steamed buns, and I don't have to waste money." ”
Lin Xiaowan glared at him disapprovingly, "Why is it wasted?" ”
Knowing that he was distressed about money and wanted to save some flowers, Lin Xiaowan was a little distressed, or they were too poor. She said to Guo Chengling seriously: "We will definitely have money, there are many, many kinds of money, believe me." ”
Guo Chengling only treated her as a child, and coaxed her with a smile: "Well, I believe in you, after all, my daughter-in-law is so capable, she will definitely earn a lot of money in the future." ”
He curled his lips and teased: "Hey, then won't I want to eat soft rice in the future?" ”
Lin Xiaowan knew at a glance that Guo Chengling didn't believe her, and she was depressed when she heard the child's tone.
Just when the wontons and buns came up, she slapped the chopsticks angrily, "You can't catch up with the hot soft rice." ”
Guo Chengling touched her nose, not knowing where to provoke her.
A woman's heart, a needle under the sea!
He picked up the chopsticks and gave Lin Xiaowan the only steamed bun with fresh meat filling, and then picked up the rest and started eating.
Four buns, one with meat filling, the rest are vegetarian, the stuffing mixed with tofu residue and Chinese cabbage, there is no oil and water, but Guo Chengling eats it with relish.
Lin Xiaowan's heart was sour, she didn't speak.
Silently broke the minced meat bun he handed over in half and handed it over with a smile.
Guo Chengling looked at her suspiciously, Lin Xiaowan saw that he didn't take it, put the bun on the plate in front of him, and said with a smile: "I want to try that vegetarian one, let's change it." ”
Guo Chengling clipped one to her, Lin Xiaowan broke it in half, took half of it herself, took a bite of it, and said vaguely: "I can't finish one, half of one person." ”
Guo Chengling was stunned, came back to his senses, and his heart was warm. He smiled and stopped talking, and gulped down the buns.
The steamed buns with vegetarian stuffing are not delicious, the buns with only salt have no oil and water, and the stuffing is not chopped very broken, and they taste bland and tasteless, but Lin Xiaowan didn't say anything, she felt as if she was dreaming while eating.
Half a month ago, she was still a doctor in the hospital, going to work from 9 to 5 every day, and then sleeping, reading, and eating. She ordered the takeaway around and got tired of eating it. At that time, she would never have imagined that one day she would marry a man she had never met, and share a not-so-delicious bun with him at a roadside stall and feel happy.
She secretly looked at the man's handsome side face and felt relieved.
Fortunately, the wontons tasted good, Lin Xiaowan ate most of the bowl, and there were a few left that she really couldn't eat.
Guo Chengling saw that she was really full, so she took three bites and ate them clean.
He eats quickly, but he is not rude, and he does not make a smack-out sound like other peasant men.
Putting down the bowl, Guo Chengling went to pay the bill.
A vegetarian bun costs two cents, a meat bun costs three cents, and a bowl of wontons costs eight cents, and the meal for the two of them only cost twenty-five cents.
After eating, Guo Chengling took Lin Xiaowan to buy food.
There is not much rice and noodles at home, and as soon as she sells it for money, she has to spend it again, thinking that Lin Xiaowan is still a little heartbroken, and she hasn't covered it yet.
Guo Chengling looked at her heartache and was a little funny.
Reaching out and pinching the palm of the man's hand, he lowered his head and whispered in the woman's ear.
"Don't worry, your man doesn't dare to say anything else, you can't starve like this. Be generous, or people will think I can't afford to support you, huh? ”
Lin Xiaowan pushed him away and glared at him, but her cheeks were red and unconvincing.
"Don't move your hands and feet in public!"
"How much did you sell for it, dare to talk like that?"
Guo Chengling touched his nose, he had hunted a lot of prey these days, and he sold it for a full ten taels of silver, and he didn't have time to tell her.
"Ten two hundred and twenty-nine dollars." He told the truth.
Lin Xiaowan glanced at him and stretched out her hand in front of him,
"Hand it over. If I don't ask you, you're not going to tell me? Or are you planning to hide it secretly for private money? ”
This is serious, Guo Chengling hurriedly denied it, "No." ”
Seeing that Lin Xiaowan still looked unconvinced, he took out the money bag from his chest and handed it over, and solemnly assured the woman: "I will definitely give it to you as soon as possible next time, I will not hide my private money." ”
Of course, Lin Xiaowan knew that he wouldn't, so she deliberately teased him. pretended to say "um", and then said compassionately: "Don't take it as an example." ”
Guo Chengling nodded yes, and sighed in his heart, women are not easy to mess with!
Entering the rice grain store, Lin Xiaowan remembered what Guo Chengling had asked her to be a little more generous just now, and with a wave of her hand, five catties of rice, five catties of white flour and five catties of cornmeal, and four taels of silver were spent.
Guo Chengling let her go, anyway, he made money to spend on his daughter-in-law, and she said to buy whatever she wanted.
Seeing that she didn't want anything else, she asked, "Don't want anything else?" ”
Lin Xiaowan took a closer look at Guo Chengling and saw that there was really no dissatisfaction, and then she said "um".
She was also afraid that Guo Chengling would feel that she didn't know how to run a house and was extravagant and wasteful.
I didn't expect him to say anything, it seems that what he said before is true.
Lin Xiaowan is still quite satisfied with this.
After coming out of the rice store, the two went to the grocery store again. Lin Xiaowan planned to buy some seasonings, but she only put salt to eat every day, and her mouth was very bland after a long time.
Star anise, cinnamon, pepper, pepper, these are all wanted, and after thinking about it, she asked for a pound of sugar and a pound of vinegar.
She doesn't plan to buy oil, it's not cost-effective to buy oil here, and only the kind of oil boiled from animal sebum is not as healthy as the vegetable oil in the supermarket.
When passing by the wine shop, Lin Xiaowan suddenly remembered something, turned her head and asked:
"Is the wine you usually drink?"
Guo Chengling didn't understand why his wife suddenly asked this, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's all quite mixed, I don't drink much, I don't know very well." ”
Lin Xiaowan sighed and decided to buy it in the supermarket, the ancient wine-making technology was still not perfect.
Guo Chengling didn't know why, he didn't know what was wrong, and he didn't dare to ask, so he silently followed behind as a coolie.
(Guo Chengling: We don't know what's going on, we don't dare to ask, we don't dare to say.) )
Lin Xiaowan went to the market to buy a few big stick bones and some pigs that no one wanted, and the butcher said that the pigs should be sent to them when they went into the water.
This thing is usually not wanted, and it is fed to the dogs, and it smells fishy, and someone wants him to be eager to do it.
Guo Chengling looked at this pile of things in embarrassment, her whole body was resisting, and persuaded her not to buy it, how good it would be to buy some meat.
What are you doing with this thing, it's not delicious.
Lin Xiaowan gave him a blank look, others don't know how to do it, they don't think it's delicious, she is different.
forced Guo Chengling to bring these things, and after settling the bill, he should go back.
Estimating that the hour was almost up, and there was nothing left to buy, the two went to the location agreed with Uncle Wu before.
When I got there, there were already a lot of people in the car, and when I saw the two of them, Uncle Wu greeted them happily.
"Xiao Wan and Guo Orion are back, have you bought everything?"
Lin Xiaowan still has a good impression of this kind old man, called people with a smile, and responded sweetly: "Hey, I bought Uncle Wu." ”
Guo Chenglingsheng followed behind without love, with a handsome face and expressionless face, like a black-faced god at that station.
"It's good to buy it, it's good to buy it, you two come and sit down, it's time to leave later."
Uncle Wu only quarreled with the two of them, and he didn't know that Guo Chengling was depressed because of the pig's water.
After getting into the car, there was still a daughter-in-law before she arrived, and the rest of the people were chatting.
This one said, "What did you buy?" I bought some ......"
The one said, "Hey, what kind of cloth is cheap today, I pulled two feet." ”
"Really? Oh, I'm a big loser......"
Balabala is no less than the aunts who are fighting in the vegetable market in modern times.
"Hey, let's go, let's go!"
A sharp voice shouted, rushing over like a cannonball, and put down the back basket with a "bang", which was pressing on Lin Xiaowan's instep.
Lin Xiaowan was listening to the joy with her head propped up, and suddenly heard a shout, and before she could see who it was, she only felt a gust of wind in front of her, and something pressed down, and the instep of her foot was painful, and she shouted out in pain.
"Oh, I'm tired."
