Mrs. Chen is rarely scolded by Chen Decai pointing her nose like this, and now that Chen Decai is so unrelenting, Mrs. Chen's anger also came up all of a sudden: "You old Wang Ba Lamb, you have grown your temper after going out for two days, haven't you!" Don't forget where your Chen family's money comes from! If I hadn't married you with those gold, silver and jewels, you would have been a great lord in this city! โ
Speaking of this, Chen Decai was instantly dumbfounded. At the beginning, he was just a small businessman, he married Mrs. Chen, and relied on the property of his father-in-law's family to get to where he is today. Therefore, in the face of Mrs. Chen, he was indeed three points shorter. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a concubine in the room. Speaking of which, the Chen family is thin and has nothing to do with this.
Chen Decai instantly lost the idea of talking and arguing with Mrs. Chen, flicked his sleeves and went out of the door, and went straight to the restaurant to drink alcohol. It's enough for a man to be like him.
At lunchtime, Chen Tianbao was having a good time in the river. Mrs. Chen sent someone to urge him several times, but she couldn't persuade him back, so she had to let Ping'er bring food and send it to the river to Chen Tianbao.
Chen Tianbao, who had just become acquainted with a group of little babies, was not stingy, and with a wave of his hand, he shared the food brought by Ping'er with everyone. Although Chen Tianbao is still young, his body is really an adult man. Originally, Ping'er only brought him one portion of food, but now that he has given him all the food, after a while, he is hungry and scratches his liver.
"Little daughter-in-law......" Chen Tianbao looked at Hua Ruxue pitifully, "The baby is so hungry......"
Listening to the cooing sound coming from his stomach, Hua Ruxue was angry and funny: "I know that I am hungry and give food to others, I really don't know what you think." โ
"They are good friends of the baby, how can they be stingy with good friends?" Although Chen Tianbao was hungry, he obviously did not regret his decision just now, "As long as he is the baby's friend, the baby will take care of him." โ
Hua Ruxue was stunned: "Even if you yourself will be injured?" โ
Chen Tianbao nodded very seriously: "That's right! For the sake of good friends, the baby is not afraid of getting hurt himself! โ
Hua Ruxue looked at him and didn't know what to say. Growing up struggling in that environment since she was a child, she knows best what it means to be a person who is not destined for herself. She had never met a person willing to sacrifice for others, not even her sister.
"Little daughter-in-law...... Baby is really hungry! Chen Tianbao grabbed Hua Ruxue's hand, swaying and coquettish, and his eyes were dark and his heart trembled slightly.
Don't look over her head for a while, Hua Ruxue took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in her heart: "I'll find a way to get you something to eat." After speaking, she pushed Chen Tianbao's hand away, ran to the river, and washed her face with river water.
The cool river water slapped on his face, and the crimson on his face receded in an instant. Hua Ruxue laughed at herself, and a sour feeling suddenly surged in her heart. In this world, the last thing she should have is a true heart. The world is difficult, the truth is fragile, she can't afford such a luxury thing, let alone give it.
"Little daughter-in-law, what are you doing?" Chen Tianbao ran over and squatted beside Hua Ruxue, "The baby is hungry." Hua Ruxue put away her thoughts, took the bamboo basket on the side, and looked inside, a few still fat live fish kept jumping inside: "Tianbao, how about I grill fish for you?" โ
"Grilled fish?" Chen Tianbao's eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly, "Babies love fish!" Little daughter-in-law, roast quickly! โ
Hua Ruxue moved quickly, picked out the two fattest fish from the bamboo basket, pressed them on the river beach, and knocked them with a stone, and the fish stopped moving. She then picked up two more angular stones, scraped off the scales, gutted the innards, and cleaned the fish in the river.
Chen Tianbao followed behind her, watching her pick up dry firewood and drill wood for fire, her eyes widened, and she couldn't even breathe. After putting the fish on the branches, Hua Ruxue picked up a bunch of leaves prepared next to her and stuffed them into the belly of the fish, pinned the open belly of the fish with a small branch, and then roasted it on the fire.
"Little daughter-in-law, what are you stuffing into the belly of the fish?" Chen Tianbao asked on the side.
Hua Ruxue replied while grilling the fish: "Perilla leaves, stuff it into the belly of the fish to remove the fishy smell." โ
"Shiso?" Chen Tianbao muttered, obviously not having heard the name perilla. But when he raised his head again, the eyes that looked at Hua Ruxue had changed, and that kind of adoring and blazing eyes made Hua Ruxue's heart tremble again.
Soon, the aroma of grilled fish wafted around. Chen Tianbao took a deep breath and salivated: "Little daughter-in-law, when is the good time?" Baby is so hungry! โ
Hua Ruxue flipped the body of the fish: "It'll be fine right away." Chen Tianbao nodded, and came closer, his saliva almost flowing onto the grilled fish.
After another moment, Hua Ruxue finally took the fish off the fire, removed the small branch pinned to the fish's belly, and carefully cleaned up the perilla leaves stuffed in the fish's belly before handing it to Chen Tianbao: "Be careful of scalding." โ
Chen Tianbao couldn't care about so much, he opened his mouth and tore off a large piece of fish meat, which made him angry: "It's so hot, it's hot!" It's delicious! Although the fish had just been grilled and was so hot, Chen Tianbao still ate it with relish.
Hua Ruxue saw that he was eating happily, and she also showed a smile. In the past, she used to go to the small river ditch outside the town to touch the fish and make sacrifices. It's just that the ditch is too small, and all you can catch are small fish the size of a palm, and you can't even fill your stomach when you grill it. This was the first time she had grilled such a fat fish. When the fish rack was roasted on the fire, it was still bubbling with tweed.
Chen Tianbao tore off a large piece of meat on the belly of the fish with his hands, removed the big thorns inside, put it to his mouth and blew it, and handed it to Hua Ruxue's lips: "Little daughter-in-law, open your mouth!" The baby wants to feed you fish~"
Hua Ruxue was once again shocked by Chen Tianbao's movements. If the puff pastry cake in the morning was Chen Tianbao's whim, then this time, will it be a whim? No one had ever fed her like this, let alone a young man.
"Little daughter-in-law, don't you like the baby?" Chen Tianbao's eyes seemed to have tears pouring out, and he was bright, "Why don't you eat the fish that the baby fed you?" No more thorns! Babies are all shaved! โ
Hua Ruxue suddenly felt sour and warm in her heart, and ate the piece of fish with tears in her eyes: "Tianbao, thank you!" "Thank you for not knowing me all my life, and still treating me like a relative.
Chen Tianbao looked at her with a smile, took a bite by himself, and fed the flowers like snow. In this way, two large, roasted brown fish entered their stomachs in a short time.
After eating grilled fish, Chen Tianbao lay in the shade with his arms on his pillow, with a satisfied expression: "Little daughter-in-law, the grilled fish you make is so delicious!" Babies have never eaten such delicious fish! โ
Hua Ruxue smiled slightly and did not speak. She knew that in fact, the taste of the grilled fish was not as delicious as Chen Tianbao said. There are no condiments, only a handful of perilla leaves to remove the fish, where will those well-cooked dishes taste? For her, grilled fish is just emergency food when she is hungry and panicked, and she knows the taste of it best.
"Little daughter-in-law, can the baby tell you a secret?" Chen Tianbao suddenly tilted his head to look at her, "But you have to keep it secret for the baby!" โ
Hua Ruxue nodded: "I won't tell anyone." Because that's your secret. โ
"Babies often have dreams, very scary dreams." Chen Tianbao frowned, "There is a cliff in my dream, and the baby is standing on the edge of the cliff and fighting with others. Then a bad guy got out from behind a big rock and stabbed the baby with a sword. The baby fell off the cliff. Every time I dream about this, my baby wakes up scared. This dream is done every day, and I have been doing it for a long time. โ
Hua Ruxue's heart twitched, maybe Chen Tianbao was frightened by something without Mrs. Chen knowing, otherwise why would he have such a dream? Also, the people in this city are not as good as the countryside, he is mentally incomplete, and he will inevitably be bullied. Even the children do this to him today, let alone others.
Chen Tianbao suddenly frowned, looking at Hua Ruxue: "But little daughter-in-law, yesterday you slept with the baby next to the baby, and the baby didn't have that nightmare." Will you stay with your baby all the time? Without you, the baby will be afraid. โ
Hua Ruxue didn't expect that her arrival would be so important to Chen Tianbao, and she couldn't help but be speechless for a while. It seems that since she was a child, she has been a wild child that her father doesn't love, and no one has ever regarded her so important. It turns out that it is like to be taken seriously, is it actually like this?
She couldn't help but reach out and touch Chen Tianbao's hair: "Don't worry! I'll be with you always! "Even if you are a fool, even if everyone in the world dislikes you, I will not leave you!
After Chen Tianbao returned to Chen's house after playing for a whole day, he was satisfied after eating three white-flour steamed buns in a row. The wolf-gobbling posture made Mrs. Chen's eyes straighten. When did Chen Tianbao eat like this! Why has this little girl only been here for a day, and the change is so big? It seems that this little girl really has some skills! But as soon as she thought of this, Mrs. Chen immediately thought of the evil fire that Chen Decai had sent to her during the day, and she couldn't help but be angry.
Smack-
Mrs. Chen threw the dishes and chopsticks and asked sharply, "Is the master back?" โ
Xuan'er, who was waiting on the side, shook her head and replied: "Back to Mrs., the master has never returned to the house since he went out at noon, but do you want to send someone to find it?" โ
Mrs. Chen snorted coldly: "Find!" Hurry up and get that old immortal back for me! As soon as you enter the house, you will die and spend all day drinking, is it really that Mrs. Ben is a decoration! โ
Hua Ruxue stood behind Chen Tianbao and never looked up at Mrs. Chen, she was afraid that Mrs. Chen, who was angry, would find a reason to deal with her. After all, she was sold to the Chen family, even if Mrs. Chen killed her, no one would care.
It's just that she doesn't know that the better she does and the more she changes Chen Tianbao, the more Mrs. Chen feels wronged, and the more resentful and angry she is with Chen Decai. At this time, she lowered her eyebrows and looked respectful, which made Mrs. Chen's anger more and more vigorous.
