Chapter 13: Red Envelopes

Half an hour later, nearly 100 scallion pancakes were fried, and it just so happened that the big pot of stewed vegetables was also stewed.

The smell of scallion pancakes and the smell of meat from stewed vegetables filled this dilapidated courtyard for a while, and when I smelled it gently, I couldn't help but saliva overflowing, and my stomach was growling.

Everyone waiting in the courtyard, whether adults or children, couldn't wait to eat this breakfast after tasting the delicious scallion pancakes.

In the kitchen –

Chen Xiangqin wiped the sweat on her head, and then looked at her clothes, and saw that it was stained with flour and the smell of oily smoke, she hesitated for a moment, but she still said,

"Brother Yi, you ask Xiao Ru to help separate the cakes, and put more than 20 cakes on each table. You have a big pot of vegetables, and you have to trouble me to bring it out and put it on the table. I'll go back to the house first, wash my face, change my clothes, and serve tea to my parents later. ”

"Hmm. Go ahead. Zhang Chenyi saw that her tired little face was flushed, her face was covered with sweat, and she was a little distressed, so she didn't need to say it, and she would take on all the rest of the work.

"Thank you, Brother Yi."

Chen Xiangqin smiled at him gratefully, because she was in a good mood, she not only smiled with her eyebrows, but even her eyes were crystal bright, just like the bright stars.

With her like this, Zhang Chenyi's heart throbbed when he saw it.

Every time he saw Chen Xiangqin's smile and looked into her bright eyes, Zhang Chenyi felt that her whole person was shining, just like the flames burning under the night sky, so dazzling, so dazzling, deeply attracted to him.

Obviously she wasn't like this yesterday, and she was extremely disappointed in her yesterday, but when she woke up, she was even better than she imagined.

Chen Xiangqin's figure had obviously disappeared, but Zhang Chenyi did not withdraw his gaze to the kitchen door......

-

Chen Xiangqin walked out of the kitchen, greeted everyone in the courtyard with a smile, and quickly returned to the room.

When the door was closed, and she was left alone, she let out a long breath, her shoulders drooped, and her back, which had been straight, was bent down.

"Hiss......" Chen Xiangqin touched her shoulder and gasped in pain.

"It's so squeamish!"

Chen Xiangqin sighed with emotion, looked down at her white, tender and smooth hands, and then thought of the thick and rough, thin and black hands in her previous life, and felt that even if she did heavy work, she should pay attention to maintenance, otherwise, how sorry for this rebirth!

Chen Xiangqin washed her hands and face, then took out the alabaster and applied it carefully, this alabaster is oily and fragrant, which is naturally not as good as the cosmetics later, but it is absolutely strong and very easy to use in preventing the skin from drying out!

Chen Xiangqin didn't remember what was in her dowry, but she just rummaged through the drawer of the simple dresser and was surprised to find that in addition to alabaster, there were also hair oil, fragrant honey, lipstick, eyebrow pencil and so on.

She's so 'trendy'!

Chen Xiangqin looked at the pile of 'cosmetics' stuffed in the drawer, and rubbed her forehead a little funny, now she really doesn't look down on these things, especially lipstick, which is a big red without a little texture, painted on the mouth, ugly to death.

Moreover, she is only twenty years old now, her skin is firm and smooth, there are no acne, full of collagen, and she does not need any makeup.

If you do, you will be spoiling yourself!

Chen Xiangqin looked at this pile of 'waste products' that had spent money, and was a little upset, and secretly scolded herself for being a loser, so she could only close the drawer casually first, and it was out of sight.

Then, Chen Xiangqin went to the cabinet again, and quickly found a new dress to change into, even if this dress is the latest model I bought, the most trendy, but Chen Xiangqin still feels ugly when she looks at this wide waistless and shapeless clothes.

Especially, when she found several pairs of bell bottoms from her closet, her heart was broken!

She's not cute at all! Fat and big, dressed like an old rascal!

However, now she doesn't have time to worry about so much, Chen Xiangqin can only find what she can wear, and after packing herself up, she searched everywhere and finally found a small box with a lock in the big closet.

What is in this is the bride price money given to her by the Zhang family, she remembers this matter very clearly, not only did her parents not keep a penny, but when she got married yesterday, her mother secretly gave her a hundred yuan.

In addition, there was also the red envelope they gave her to her yesterday when she kowtowed to her in-laws, also known as the change of mouth fee, although yesterday she was not happy to call them parents at all.

Chen Xiangqin counted the money in it, compared it with the new things in this room, and vaguely remembered that the bride price money was used to buy her dowry, and she bought a sewing machine, a bicycle, a wardrobe, bedding, a basin, a thermos and other things, and spent more than 200 yuan.

And the two red envelopes given by my in-laws yesterday contained 20 yuan each, in fact, this 20 yuan is already a lot, and ordinary families generally spend 20 yuan in two months!

Chen Xiangqin took out the 20 yuan in it and put 300 yuan in each.

She remembered that in order to marry herself, the Zhang family owed a total of 600 yuan.

In her previous life, because of these 600 yuan, too many bad things happened, and even, because of her promotion, it caused one tragedy after another, as long as Chen Xiangqin thought about it, she felt that these hundreds of yuan were too hot!

She can't ask for it, and she can't take it!

If she really wants to live a good life with Zhang Chenyi, then she can not take these Zhang family's 'flesh and blood money' for herself, otherwise, what kind of family and one heart will she talk about.

-

Chen Xiangqin cleaned up and returned to the courtyard, seeing that the oil cakes and vegetables were ready, and all the people at the four tables were waiting for her, and when she walked in, they all looked at her.

Chen Xiangqin didn't feel worried, but stood in front, bowed slightly to everyone, and smiled apologetically,

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Yesterday I just got married and was ignorant, and all the elders who made trouble were very unhappy, it was my fault, and I am here to say 'I'm sorry' to everyone. Especially, I'm sorry for my parents-in-law. Today, I would like to ask you to testify for me again, and I will kowtow to my in-laws again for tea. ”

After saying this, Chen Xiangqin walked around the table, poured two cups of tea just brewed, and whispered to Zhang Chenyi next to him,

"Serve it to me later."

Zhang Chenyi glanced at her with a complicated expression and responded.

Chen Xiangqin didn't have time to pay attention to Zhang Chenyi's thoughts, kowtowed to tea in front of everyone, and completed all this, which was the first step for her to reverse everyone's impression and make up for her mistakes, Chen Xiangqin did not allow herself to be wrong.

Chen Xiangqin knelt down in front of Zhang's father and mother, and after kowtowing twice in succession, she stretched out her hand to Zhang Chenyi, took the teacup, handed it to her in-laws who looked cramped, and said sincerely,

"Dad, Mom, please believe that I will try my best to be a good daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future."

"Well, we believe. Get up quickly. Zhang's mother didn't fall to drink tea, and bent down to pull her up from the ground.

"Mom, you have a sip of tea before your daughter-in-law can get up." Chen Xiangqin said with a smile.

"Hey." Zhang's mother quickly drank it all.

Chen Xiangqin feels that her mother-in-law is real, and she is kind and has no bad intentions, which is really good.

Zhang's father still has a shelf, and after taking a sip, he handed it to Zhang Chenyi and said, "Yesterday's incident is over, and no one is allowed to mention it in the future." In the future, you will live a good life, and we will be relieved. ”

After Zhang Chenyi put down the teacup, he walked to Chen Xiangqin's side and knelt down, "My son is not good, I let my parents worry about it this time." ”

"What are you talking about?" Zhang's mother's eyes were red, she stood up suddenly, and went to pull Zhang Chenyi, "Stand up quickly, this is a good day, what kind of stupid thing to say!" Xiangqin, you also hurry up. ”

"Brother Yi, in the future, we will honor our parents together." Chen Xiangqin pulled Zhang Chenyi's arm, and the two stood up together.

"Alright. All right. This head is also knocked, the tea is also drunk, hurry up and eat, the dishes are going to be cold. Everyone is waiting. Mother Zhang said with a smile.

"Wait." Chen Xiangqin took out the two red envelopes from her pocket and handed them to Zhang's father and mother, "Dad, Mom, you gave me red envelopes yesterday, and I should give them to you today." ”

"Huh?!" Zhang's father and mother stared at each other in shock, and the guests also shouted in surprise.
