Chapter 4: The Sister-in-law of the House Next Door
"It's fine." He raised his head and glanced at her, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, and a hint of sweetness was reflected in his sunny and moist gaze.
Tong Xiaowu was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to react, "I want to ...... Otherwise, let's divide the fish between Brother Fulin's family, right? To express gratitude, when our family has money in the future, I will slowly return all these favors, people are good to us, and we must be good to others. ”
Feng Yuchen nodded, he really owed a little too much: "Okay!" ”
Tong Xiaowu tied two fish with a straw rope and walked out of the yard, she could have screamed through the fence courtyard wall, but in order to show her sincerity and gratitude, she bypassed the courtyard wall and came to the door of Fulin's house, "Is my sister-in-law at home?" ”
The chimney of Fulint's house was smoking, and it seemed that there were people in the house.
Hearing the voice, a three- or four-year-old girl ran out of the house, saw that it was the new daughter-in-law next door, and ran back: "Mother, mother, Aunt Yuchen is here, and she is standing at the gate of the courtyard." ”
Sister-in-law Fulin frowned, for Feng Yuchen, she didn't say anything, she was popular, and she had helped them before, but for this new daughter-in-law who had just passed the door for a month, she didn't dare to compliment, she was too lazy to do anything, and she didn't even understand a little human touch.
"What is she here for? I really don't want to see her. ”
"Let's take a look, their family is not easy, Brother Yuchen was injured, and she is a non-worker, so she can't let their family starve to death." Fulin, who was weaving straw sandals on the side, thought that Tong Xiaowu was here to borrow food, so he answered.
The little girl leaned next to her father, holding a tomato in her hand and nibbling.
Sister-in-law Fu Lin sighed: "Got it! But today I have to let her open her mouth by herself, every time the Yuchen brothers come to borrow, today she came to the door for the first time, I have to let her know that the days are not borrowed. ”
"Go, go, go!"
Sister-in-law Fulin touched her fingers on her apron, walked towards the outside of the courtyard, came to the gate, and opened the fence door, "What are you doing?" ”
"Sister-in-law, I'll give you two fish!" Tong Xiaowu saw someone appear, and carried the fish in her hand in front of her.
Sister-in-law Fulin was stunned for a moment: "This ...... Where did you get the fish, I see that Brother Yuchen didn't go out all morning! This, this, sit in the house, right? ”
Stretching out her hand and not hitting the smiling person, even if she wanted to educate her just now, now she was interrupted by her two fish.
Tong Xiaowu smiled sweetly: "I won't go into the house anymore sister-in-law, this is what I caught, thank you sister-in-law and Brother Fu Lin for taking care of our family during this time, I really appreciate it, we will have more contacts in the future." ”
After speaking, Tong Xiaowu stuffed the fish in her hand into Sister-in-law Fulin's hand, and gave a salute to others, and then turned around and went home.
The person had already gone away, and Sister-in-law Fulin had not come to her senses, until the maid came out to call her, she reacted, returned to the house, and saw her husband, she couldn't help but speak: "Yuchen's daughter-in-law is not here to borrow food, but to deliver fish, you see......"
Brother Fu Lin laughed, "Well, I know how to live, it's good!" ”
He had heard their conversation outside just now.
"In charge, how do I feel that Yuchen's daughter-in-law doesn't look like a rural person? How do you give me a feeling of being a lady, you know? She said thank you to me just now, and she also gave me a salute, just like that......" Sister-in-law Fulin learned from Tong Xiaowu, bent down slightly, and then stood up.
"Everyone's ladies can't live our rural life." Brother Fu Lin has worked long hours in the town, and he knows that those young ladies and wives from other families are either embroidering or playing mahjong every day, and it is impossible for them to go down to the river to catch fish.
"Yes, by the way, I'll send some of the corn tortillas that our family pasted at noon, after all, both of them are sick!" Sister-in-law Fu Lin had a tofu heart in her mouth, and couldn't help but speak.
"Go, go, go!"
Sister-in-law Fulin picked up a few tortillas, stood directly outside the fence wall and shouted, "Yuchen's family, come out, you can take a few of the tortillas I pasted at noon." ”
Tong Xiaowu was worried that there was no staple food at home, and when she heard this voice, she ran out with a smoke, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”
"You're welcome, take it!" At this moment, Fulin sister-in-law now looks at the new daughter-in-law opposite and seems to be a little pleasing to the eye.
Tong Xiaowu took the tortilla back, she began to pick vegetables and wash them, and Feng Yuchen began to clean up the fish.
"You don't have to do it, I'll do it later, right? Be careful not to touch your legs. Tong Xiaowu on the side glanced back at Feng Yuchen worriedly.
He sat on a stool, with a small sharp knife in his hand, and scraped the scales quickly, and in a few moments, the scales of one fish were scraped clean, and then he picked up a second ......
Seeing that he didn't hurt his leg, Tong Xiaowu closed her mouth with relief and continued the work in hand.
After washing the wild vegetables, cut them with a knife, and then peel and chop the wild garlic picked in the mountains, although the wild garlic is small, but the taste is enough.
It stands to reason that the general step is to boil oil in the pot, and stir-fry the green onions, ginger and garlic, but unfortunately, there is no oil at home, in desperation, Tong Xiaowu poured water directly into the pot, and then cut off the grass carp and put it into the pot, and then put all the wild garlic and wild vegetables into the pot and add salt.
With the sound of grunting, Tong Xiaowu looked at the grass carp in the pot and saliva was about to flow out, she took a thick bowl, filled two bowls of fish soup, and brought it to the table.
"Do you try the fish soup, is it fresh?"
Feng Yuchen was already sitting at the dining table, looking at the fish soup in front of him, nodded, and then drank it, the woman in front of him was still standing aside, looking at him expectantly with a pair of eyes, as if waiting for his answer.
Feng Yuchen nodded: "Xian!" It's delicious. ”
"That's good!" Tong Xiaowu happily sat opposite and ate it, what does it taste? Naturally, it can't be compared to what you make in a big hotel, but it has a different flavor.
After eating, she looked at the sunlight shining on the roof, and was glad that it had not rained in the past two days, otherwise the family would have suffered.
"I'll help you go to bed and rest, I'll go out for a little ......" Tong Xiaowu, who had packed up the dishes and chopsticks, helped Feng Yuchen up.
"Where are you going?" After he looked up and asked, he realized that he was a little too concerned, so he immediately changed his words: "Go ahead!" ”
Tong Xiaowu laughed and looked up at him: "Don't worry, I won't run." ”
In her last life, she made a wish, if she was given a healthy body, she would definitely cherish life, love life, and then chase the boy who saved herself, and be reborn in a lifetime, all her wishes have come true, what is she not satisfied with?
Now all she needs to do is make this family better, so she has to work hard.
Feng Yuchen gritted his teeth when he heard this, and didn't say anything.
Tong Xiaowu went up the mountain to trap the aquatic grass he had cut in the morning into a large bundle, tied several large bundles together with a straw rope, dragged them to the big stone on the side, and came to the stone by himself and picked up the aquatic weed.
After a noon exposure, the weight of the aquatic plants was much lighter, but it was still very heavy, and she carried it hard and walked home step by step.
Walking into the yard, she put down the aquatic plants, spread them out, and continued to let the sun shine, after which she went up the hill again.
