The fish has been grilled, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, exuding bursts of fragrance.
Cheng Jingmo was still unfinished and looked at Yu Xiangnian with burning eyes.
He had read the scene just now in a book and had also imagined it.
But he didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't bear to let Yu Xiangnian serve him.
Now that he had tried it once, it felt really good, he still thought.
Yu Xiangnian met his eyes and said jokingly, "Didn't you say you had to endure it until you go back to the hospital?"
Cheng Jingmo was ashamed and quickly changed the subject, "The fish is grilled."
He took off the wooden stick with the fish on it, tore off a piece of fish meat, and handed it to Yu Xiangnian, "Try it."
Yu Xiangnian took a bite and nodded, "The fish that grew up eating your bathwater is delicious!"
Cheng Jingmo: "...Yu Xiangnian, please be more serious."
Yu Xiangnian said: "A serious person would not do what he just did. If you like serious people, then I will be serious!"
Cheng Jingmo: "..." It's better not to be serious.
The two walked home hand in hand, and the moonlight stretched their silhouettes very long.
The surroundings were quiet, except for a few insects chirping from time to time, and there was only the sound of the two people walking in unison.
Cheng Jingmo asked: "Nian Nian, tomorrow is our village day, do you want to take a look?"
"think."
"Then I'll wake you up tomorrow morning. You have to get up early to catch the carriage."
"Okay, let's go to bed as soon as we get home."
"I'll carry you back." Cheng Jingmo said and knelt down, "There's still a long way to go, don't get tired."
Yu Xiangnian was not polite and lay on top of him.
Cheng Jingmo carried her on his back and walked forward with firm steps, and their figures merged behind him.
When the two of them walked to the intersection of Cheng Jingmo's house, a man suddenly appeared from the corner.
Cheng Jingmo saw the other party clearly first and said in surprise: "Dong Ju?"
"Why are you here so late?" he asked again.
"Brother Zhiwa, sister-in-law." Dong Ju's voice sounded weak, "He drank again."
It goes without saying who he is, Dong Ju must not dare to go home.
Cheng Jingmo couldn't go to Dong Ju's house to teach Dong Xingwang about drinking, nor could he let Dong Ju stay at his house.
He didn't know what to say at the moment.
Yu Xiangnian was still lying on Cheng Jingmo's back, and she didn't want to say anything.
Her kindness was rejected last time, and now Dong Ju came here again, seeking comfort or something?
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
After a while, Dong Ju finally spoke, "Brother Zhiwa, sister-in-law, can you help me?"
Cheng Jingmo asked: "How do you want us to help you?"
Dong Ju said: "I didn't want to be with him for a long time, but every time I chased him away, he beat people and said he wanted to kill my whole family."
Yu Xiangnian: "..." This kind of man should have been driven away long ago. He has been here for several years!
Dong Ju added: "He beat me every day. When my mother came to help me, he also beat my mother. He was the one who made my mother's leg lame."
She choked up while talking!
Cheng Jingmo held Yu Xiangnian with his hands behind his back, and at this time, his fingers were bent.
When he was a child, he also heard about so-and-so beating his wife, but only once in a while.
After he joined the army, he had seen Captain Zhang occasionally beating his wife, but he was not so harsh.
Dong Ju Niang's legs were lame from the beating, so what a heavy blow!
Dong Ju started to speak again, and now her tone was full of hatred, "I wish he died every day! I would rather not have this man! But I can't beat him!"
Cheng Jingmo felt resentment in his heart, but his voice remained calm, "You can divorce him."
Dong Ju said angrily while wiping her tears: "I mentioned the divorce! But he is here as a bride-in-law. His original home did not give him a house or land. He has no land to go to after the divorce. He is determined not to leave!" "
"He said there was no way to divorce, either he died or I died!" Dong Ju cried more and more sadly, "Sometimes I would rather I die, but if I die, what will happen to my mother and children?"
Cheng Jingmo: "..."
It's really difficult to deal with such a scoundrel.
Yu Xiangnian: "..."
People are crying in front of you, but you don’t have any reaction at all? At least I should give you a few words of comfort!
Finally, Yu Xiangnian spoke, "Dong Ju, don't cry. Cheng Jingmo will help you. Your matter can't be done today. Wait until he thinks of a solution."
Dong Ju wiped her tears and sobbed, "Brother Zhiwa, sister-in-law, I can only rely on you."
Although everyone in the village knew about Dong Xingwang's domestic violence, they only tried to persuade her when he was beating someone. They could help her at that time, but they could not help her for a long time.
She placed her only hope on Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangnian.
The two of them were educated and came from big cities, so they would definitely be able to think of ways to help her.
Cheng Jingmo said: "Dong Ju, don't worry, I will help you. You go back first, it is so late, you are not safe outside."
Yu Xiangnian moved on Cheng Jingmo's body, "Put me down and send Dong Ju back first. If Dong Xingwang beats someone at home, you can also help."
Cheng Jingmo knelt down and let Yu Xiangnian come down. Neither of them noticed the envious look in Dong Ju's eyes.
Brother Zhiwa is so kind to his wife!
That damn man in her family, let alone carrying her behind, will be scolded if she doesn't do even a little bit of housework.
Cheng Jingmo said: "Dong Ju, wait for me here for a while, I will send your sister-in-law home first."
From the intersection to the home, the distance is fifty or sixty meters, and the pick-up boy is worried that his wife will go back alone.
As for her, even if she died outside, that dead man in her family would not care about her.
The more I compare, the more I feel that my life is not good enough!
That man in her family should just die!
Cheng Jingmo sent Xiang Nian home, then went back to see Dong Ju off.
On the way, Dong Ju said enviously: "Brother Zhiwa, you are so kind to your wife!"
Cheng Jingmo only felt that he was not good enough for Xiang Nian, and someone as good as Yu Xiang Nian deserved the best in the world.
Cheng Jingmo didn't want to talk about his relationship with Yu Xiangnian, so he changed the subject, "Have you ever gone to the township government to ask about divorce?"
"No, I asked the village chief and he said the procedure was very complicated."
Cheng Jingmo said: "I'm going to the countryside tomorrow. I'll ask about the situation and then figure out what to do."
"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Picker."
Cheng Jingmo sent Dong Ju to the door of his house and asked Dong Ju to go inside to check the situation.
Dong Ju went in for a while and then came out again, "Brother Zhaiwa, he fell asleep drunk, you go back."
"Um."
Cheng Jingmo returned home and washed up. When he entered the room, Yu Xiangnian was already asleep and left a light on for him.
The dim light of the kerosene lamp left a small shadow under Xiang Nian's crow-feathered eyelashes.
She was motionless, only the uniform rise and fall of the quilt.
Cheng Jingmo stared at Yu Xiangnian's little face. Suddenly, the corner of his lips curled up into a smile.
How could he marry such a lovely wife? !
He lay on the bed and held Yu Xiangnian in his arms, feeling warm in his heart.
