Chapter 174: The Straight Man's Mindset
Well, no more bloodshed. Zhang Jirin glanced at Liu Meiniang's hand again and said. Liu Meiniang's hands are very white and beautiful, and in the past, in modern times, she also worked part-time in college and made hand models.
Zhang Jirin looked at Liu Meiniang's slender jade hand, there was a wound on his finger, and his heart was also distressed.
Liu Meiniang pulled her hand back hard, the temperature of Zhang Jilin's palm was too high, and Liu Meiniang felt that she could melt her hand. But what Zhang Jilin noticed was that Liu Meiniang's hand that was withdrawn had been pinched red by him, are the girls' hands so tender?
"Thank you." Liu Meiniang said angrily. Originally, there was a wound on his hand that hurt enough, Zhang Jilin still had to pull it to flush, the bleeding stopped, and his hand still hurt again and again, but fortunately, it hurt his left hand.
"Let's go bandage it." Zhang Jirin also felt that he had just done something too much, and proposed unnaturally.
After staying in the barracks for a long time, there are too many scenes of flesh and blood flying on the battlefield, there are often soldiers who lack arms and legs, and when they fight, the blood stains their clothes red, Zhang Jilin has long felt nothing, so when he saw Liu Meiniang's fingers injured, he felt that it was just a small wound on his fur, but when he saw Liu Meiniang's white and tender hands, he felt a little distressed.
So I suggested that Liu Meiniang go back and bandage it.
"It's okay, let's talk about it when we're done." Liu Meiniang really misses modern band-aids.
When Zhang Jilin heard this, he turned his head and went to light the fire.
Liu Meiniang saw that Zhang Jirin really went to burn the fire, and her heart became a little angry, this Zhang Jirin is a proper straight man.
But now Liu Meiniang feels that the most important thing is to examine the relationship between her and Zhang Jilin.
originally thought that Zhang Jirin was dead, she was a widow, so she didn't have too many worries, and even Zhang Li gave her a deed of marriage freedom, which was not too perfect.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jirin came out halfway and came back from the dead, and suddenly interrupted Liu Meiniang's plan, Liu Meiniang was actually a little overwhelmed at the moment.
Liu Meiniang even had some impulses to leave the Zhang family. Because of some problems she suddenly faced, Liu Meiniang wanted to escape.
Zhang Jilin didn't know what Liu Meiniang was thinking, and when she was burning the fire, she was still thinking about Liu Meiniang's finger injury.
"Sister-in-law, I've cleaned up the chickens and fish." Zhang Jihan came in from outside and put the processed chickens and fish next to the board.
"Okay, thank you." Liu Meiniang took the chicken and fish and prepared to chop them open, Zhang Jihan smiled and had already gone outside to do other things.
"I'll do it." Zhang Jilin hurriedly stood up at this time, Liu Meiniang's hand was injured, and she definitely couldn't do such a thing as chopping meat.
"It's okay, you don't have to chop it, we'll make the whole chicken," Liu Meiniang remembered that she hadn't drunk chicken soup for a long time, so she simply cooked the whole chicken into soup, and the fish was also made into soup.
Zhang Jirin nodded as if he didn't understand
After eating Liu Meiniang's food in the county, Zhang Jilin still remembers the taste, and he thinks it was the best meal he had ever eaten.
Zhang Jilin had to stay obediently and watch Liu Meiniang cook, during which Liu Meiniang asked Zhang Jilin to take down the jar for making soup, the enamel jar was indeed a little heavy, and Liu Meiniang really couldn't hold it with one hand.
Zhang Jirin watched Liu Meiniang skillfully stew the chicken into it, and began to cook fish again, and somewhere in her chest it was swollen and warm.
"You can help peel the garlic." Liu Meiniang threw a few cloves of garlic to Zhang Jilin, and Zhang Jilin bowed his head.
Anyway, sitting there was idle, and Liu Meiniang was not soft, and directly pointed to Zhang Jirin's various helps, and did not see the slightest unhappiness on Zhang Jirin's face, which made Liu Meiniang have a higher evaluation of Zhang Jilin in her heart.
In ancient times, men were inferior to women, and the status of women was very low.
She treated Zhang Jirin like this, and Zhang Jirin did not show the slightest sign of anger, and Liu Meiniang still had a good impression of Zhang Jirin.
It has been more than an hour since the meal was ready, and in order to give Zhang Jilin and Liu Meiniang enough time to get along, Zhang Li and the others did not come to disturb Zhang Jilin and Liu Meiniang when they were cooking.
In fact, Liu Meiniang is still very repulsive to Zhang Jirin, and there is very little time for the two to talk.
Zhang Jirin also saw that Liu Meiniang was uncomfortable, and she also had her own psychological considerations.
"Mei Niang." Zhang Jirin spoke up.
Liu Meiniang was stunned, when Zhang Jilin was still Lu Shaoli before, she didn't feel anything when she called her name, but now Zhang Jilin has become the husband she has never met, her identity has changed, and Liu Meiniang always feels that something is wrong.
Liu Meiniang glanced at Zhang Jilin and asked him if there was something wrong with her eyes?
"It was really my fault to lie to you before, and I don't know what to do...... I hope you don't get angry. Zhang Jilin said very slowly and seriously.
Liu Meiniang didn't expect Zhang Jirin to apologize, and looked at Zhang Jirin and didn't know how to answer.
simply lowered his head and went to his own place, Zhang Jilin fished out Liu Meiniang's dodging and discomfort, sighed and stopped talking.
"It's time to eat." Liu Meiniang clapped her hands, and it was finally done.
This time Liu Meiniang steamed Wowotou, the family has not eaten Wowotou for a while, Liu Meiniang still has a little nostalgia, it happens that there is plenty of time today, Liu Meiniang made Wowotou, but this Wowotou Liu Meiniang is completely made of fine noodles, and the taste is better than steamed buns.
I made chicken, spicy fish, boiled pork slices, stir-fried pork belly, garlic shrimp, garlic beef, tomato eggs, oil and wheat cabbage, mapo tofu......
A table was full.
"Sister-in-law, I ate a lot today, is it because my eldest brother is back?" Everyone arrived at the table, Zhang Dandan looked at the dishes on the table and said excitedly.
Liu Meiniang blushed a little when she heard Zhang Dandan's words, and bowed her head silently.
"Ji Rin is back, I should celebrate, thank you Mei Niang." Zhang Li smiled lovingly.
"It's not hard." Liu Meiniang said lightly.
"Well, let's sit down, let's sit down and eat." Zhang Li said.
Zhang Jilin came back, the position of the meal changed, in fact, the ancient people paid great attention to the position, in the past, Zhang Li sat in the first place, Zhang Jihan and Liu Meiniang sat on one side, and now Zhang Jirin is back, it has become Zhang Jilin and Zhang Jihan sitting on one side, and Liu Meiniang is sitting next to Zhang Jilin.
Taking advantage of the gap between everyone sitting, Liu Meiniang returned to the room to find her spare medicine box, took out a piece of cloth from it, and wrapped her fingers.
These strips of white cloth were all sterilized by her with high temperatures, soaked in alcohol, and bandaged on the wound, with pinprick pain. Liu Meiniang gasped for air conditioning on the first floor.
"It hurts too much." Liu Meiniang muttered to herself.
When I walked to the door, I found a tall figure.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Liu Meiniang asked in surprise.
"Mother said let me come to see you." Zhang Jilin replied as usual.
In fact, Zhang Jilin has been paying attention to Liu Meiniang's every move, and when Liu Meiniang left the table, he said a word to Zhang Li and followed.
"Does it hurt?" Zhang Jirin asked with a frown.
It stands to reason that he doesn't pay attention to such a small wound at all, there are many people in the barracks who have broken arms and legs, but on Liu Meiniang, Zhang Jilin feels distressed.
"It's fine." Liu Meiniang hid her hand in her sleeve.
"Let's eat, then." Zhang Jilin and Liu Meiniang walked back to the kitchen side by side.
"Come and sit, eat, eat." Zhang Li saw the two people coming in from outside the door, and his mouth couldn't close when he smiled, but he didn't expect the two of them to progress so quickly, and Zhang Li began to fantasize about holding his grandson in his mind.
"Eat more, come." Zhang Li gave each of the children a dish.
"Ji Rin, Mei Niang's craftsmanship is very good, you taste it, eat more, it's not that my mother said, it is your boy's blessing to be able to marry Mei Niang." Zhang Li glanced at Zhang Jilin and said.
"Yes, mother." Zhang Jirin nodded and replied. Liu Meiniang was a little unnatural by Zhang Li's words, and she didn't talk much throughout the meal. I also ate less than usual.
This made Zhang Li start to worry again.
"Ji Rin, my mother will tell you something." After eating, Zhang Li called Zhang Jirin to the room.
"Mother, you say." Zhang Jilin didn't know why.
Zhang Li told Liu Meiniang about the marriage freedom deed last time.
"Mother, this is how it should be." After listening to this, Zhang Jirin felt a faint panic in his heart, and his face was still silent.
"Alas, my mother thought you ...... I can't be sorry for Mei Niang anymore, so this is ...... But now that you're back, if you also like Mei Niang, just fight for it, of course you don't want Mei Niang to be such a good woman, cheaper than others. Zhang Li touched Zhang Jilin's head, as if Zhang Jilin was still a child.
Zhang Jilin nodded, he understood what Zhang Li meant, for Liu Meiniang, Zhang Jilin probably liked it too, if he didn't like it, Zhang Jilin would not have changed his mood all the time when he faced Liu Meiniang.
It's just that Zhang Jirin doesn't know how to express it, he is originally a taciturn person.
"In the future, you have to treat Mei Niang well, during the time you were away, Mei Niang supported the Zhang family alone......" Zhang Li sighed and said.
"Got it, mother, I will definitely treat Mei Niang well." Zhang Jilin replied word by word.
"That's good, that's good, will you come back this time?" Zhang Li thought of something and hurriedly asked.
"I'm going back." Zhang Jirin said.
"That ......," a worried expression immediately appeared on Zhang Li's face.
"Mother. Don't worry, I'm in control. Zhang Jilin comforted.
"Okay, okay, my mother doesn't care about you, but no matter what, you must pay attention to safety, there are no eyes on the battlefield, you must protect yourself." What mother doesn't want her child to be safe and healthy. Of course, Zhang Li's is also like this, if she can, she hopes that Zhang Jilin will never be on the battlefield again, and now the Zhang family is also half a businessman, although the status of the businessman is underground, but she would rather Zhang Jilin come back and run a supermarket with Liu Meiniang, live a small life, and be safe and secure for the rest of her life.
However, the mother also knows her son best, and she also knows that Zhang Jirin has big ambitions and ideals in her heart, so she swallowed back what she was going to say later.
