The heroine would definitely not quarrel with Jiang Lai here like a shrew. On the contrary, she persuaded Lu Cuiping to go back, because staying here would only make others laugh.
After today's quarrel is over, tomorrow everyone in the village will definitely know that Xie Jian's split family only got a shabby adobe room and he didn't get any money.
After returning home, Lu Cuiping was so angry that she couldn't eat with a towel wrapped around her head. She lay on the bed and screamed "Ouch" and "Ouch".
Mainly scolding Jiang Lai, scolding her for being a vixen who seduced her good son into a person who doesn't recognize any of his relatives.
The two daughters-in-law were waiting nearby, but neither of them got a good look. In the end, they both went back to the house feeling angry.
Liu Suping was sitting on the kang, folding clothes and mumbling.
"Your brother is still thoughtful and knows how to save some money. Unlike some people who have some money and want to hand it over immediately."
Xie Guo glanced at her and refused to pay attention.
Liu Suping felt angry.
"The third child still knows how to protect his wife, what about you? You don't even know how to protect your own baby. Today, Goudan was scolded by your mother for picking up a candy wrapper thrown by your sister. You need to have the third child. Xinyan, your son can’t even eat a piece of candy?”
"What do you mean by this? I'm nervous all day long, so what do you want me to do? Should I follow the example of the old three family members?"
Liu Suping stopped talking.
Unlike the third family, they have two more mouths. Regardless of whether they are separated, at least those who stutter will not starve. If they are really separated, they may not be able to eat every meal.
Thinking of this, Liu Suping couldn't help but envy Jiang Lai, who could marry a man like Xie Jian, who knew how to save money and also loved his wife. Looking at herself again, hey...
At this time, in the back room, a few young men cut down some remaining weeds and wild trees and cleaned them up, and then stayed for a meal.
Next to the stove that had been set up in advance, Jiang Lai opened the lid of the pot, and the rich smell of fish hit his face. He threw down the previously kneaded cornstarch dough and simmered it with the fish soup for a while. When it came out of the pot, everyone My mouth is watering with greed.
One bowl per person, each person has a piece of fish in the bowl, and the rest is the cornstarch dough filled with fish soup. It tastes chewy and very filling. Several men squatted outside with the bowls and ate it. No one spoke, and the surroundings were filled with the sounds of snarling people.
After eating a bowl of salty and spicy fish soup noodles, my whole body felt like I had lived my life all over again, and my stomach was filled with indescribable satisfaction and satisfaction.
“My sister-in-law’s cooking is so delicious!”
“I have never eaten such delicious corn noodles in my life, and one bowl is enough to fill you up!”
"Do you still want the soup in your bowl? How about I help you drink it?"
"Go to the other side, I'll save this to take home and make buns to eat."
The men were so satisfied with their meal that they looked at Xie Jian with envy in their eyes.
It doesn’t matter that my daughter-in-law is beautiful, the key is that she is such a good cook! In this era where everything is stewed in a pot as long as you are full, Jiang Lai's bowl is really amazing and delicious.
Everyone wiped their mouths and left with satisfaction. Jiang Lai gave Xie Jian all the remaining large bowl in the pot.
"have eaten."
"I'm not hungry. Let's save it for tomorrow."
"I don't know what your appetite is? Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly. Eat enough so you can work tomorrow."
As he said this, Jiang Lai couldn't help but push Xie Jian down and then handed him the chopsticks.
"Eat quickly, I like to watch you eat."
It tastes very delicious and looks very appetizing.
Xie Jian looked at her, and finally picked up his chopsticks and ate the entire bowl.
It is true that he didn't eat enough, but he really didn't need to eat anymore, because that was the way it was before the family was separated. He had a large appetite and could feed three people, so he was used to eating a quarter full every day. Anyway, as long as Just have something to eat every meal.
On the first day of separation, he was very full, because Jiang Lai was very good at his craftsmanship, and he was always very relaxed in front of her, so he didn't need to worry too much or accommodate too much.
After dinner, the two slept on the simply built kang for another night. Because there were many mosquitoes, Xie Jian used tree trunks to build a mosquito net for Jiang Lai.
It was a hot night, so Jiang Lai went to the nearby stream to wipe himself. When he was about to go back, he turned around and bumped into Xie Jian's chest.
"what?"
"bath."
"Then you wash it, I'll go back first."
Jiang Lai quickened his steps, but Xie Jian grabbed his arm before he even took a step. He didn't dare to use force but still held Jiang Lai so tight that he couldn't move.
"Jiang Lai."
The man shouted, his dark eyes looking deeply at her, his voice a little low and tentative.
"Three days."
In the past three days, he was busy with the family separation. He was considerate of Jiang Lai so he had been silently enduring it. He finally had some free time today, and he couldn't bear it anymore when he looked at Jiang Lai's rosy cheeks.
Jiang Lai was not a person who would wrong herself, but she had to admit that the man in front of her looked very attractive.
In the first half of the night, in this quiet and peaceful night, the sound of forbearance mixed with the gurgling stream kept ringing. The stream was so cold, but Jiang Lai, who was completely wrapped in his chest, felt that he was about to be heated up.
Finally, Xie Jian carried her back home, helped her dry her hair and held her there all the time. Xie Jian, who had always gotten up earlier than a chicken, rarely slept in this day. The sky was bright outside, so he came to work. Someone stood outside the house and shouted, and Xie Jiancai reluctantly got up.
Everyone came, and Jiang Lai got up helplessly. His legs and feet were as sore as ever. Fortunately, Jiang Lai was in good physical condition and recovered quickly. At noon, he made steamed buns in fish head soup for everyone, half a big fish for each person. Head, I ate both meat and soup. I was full of strength after eating two big steamed buns per person.
It lasted for three days in a row, eating fish on the first day, rabbit meat on the second day, and pheasant meat on the third day. Not only was it full every day, but each person could earn another dollar. The simple country man was full of energy until dawn. Just came to work.
The house that was expected to be completed in seven days was completed in five days. Instead of the adobe house, a spacious and bright brick house stood at the foot of the mountain and beside the stream.
When it was finally time to cap the roof and raise the beams, Jiang Lai bought candies and had them sprinkled down on the beams. All the children in the village came over and stood below, noisily and excitedly grabbing the candies.
Goudan and Ermao also came over. When Xie Jian saw them, he grabbed a handful and stuffed them into the pocket in front of Goudan.
“Wow, so much sugar!!”
The two children couldn't wait to stuff it into their mouths, jumping up and down happily.
After the sugar is sprinkled, a whip is placed, and the new house is considered completed. Some people build a new house and will set up a table for guests to eat. Xie Jian doesn't like crowds of people making noise, and Jiang Lai does the same, so the two of them just skip this. Steps, sprinkle sugar and whip it up for a while and it's over.
