On the way back, carrying heavy things on his back, Zhong Ziqi walked with difficulty. After all, he was originally a little brother who had never done any heavy work, so his strength was really pitiful. Zhao Zhengan was very relaxed, and he tried to take off his pannier several times, but he refused. He knew that Zhao Zhengan's pannier was not very light, and most of the heavy things were there.
Just then a carriage came from behind, and there were several aunts in their forties or fifties sitting in the carriage. The coachman was an honest man in his fifties. Most people in the village called him Uncle Zhao, because there was a I bought a horse-drawn carriage with spare money, and usually everyone likes to take his carriage when they go to the town, and give them two cents for the carriage.
The carriage passed by Zhong Ziqi and stopped, and Second Uncle Zhao said in a muffled voice, "Brother Qi, come up, take the carriage back."
"That's right, Brother Qi is really heavy to carry such a thing, come up quickly!" The warm-hearted Ah Mo said the same.
Zhong Ziqi really couldn't move anymore, and felt that why bother with the two pennies, she dragged Zhao Zhengan into the car: "Thank you, Uncle Zhao."
"What did Brother Qi buy? So many things?" someone asked.
Zhong Ziqi smiled: "Isn't this a separation? The family has nothing to eat and use, so I hurried to buy some back."
"Oh, it costs a lot of money to buy so many things, right? When Wang Cuihua separated, did you share with you?" Someone who had a bad relationship with Wang Cuihua seized the opportunity and asked deliberately at this time. In fact, everyone was very upset. According to Wang Cuihua's temperament, how much can Qing give
"Not much, just money."
"Just consistent? This Wang Cuihua is too much, even if he is not a fool or his own son, he can't be so picky, right? How can you live with a fool in the future, really..." The man said with a face full of righteous indignation, and There were also people beside him chirping.
If it wasn't for the obvious schadenfreude in his eyes, Zhong Ziqi might have believed it a little bit more. He smiled on the surface and was bored in his heart. Is it interesting for these people to talk to each other like a fool? Are they happy when they see others not having a good time
Looking at Zhao Zhengan, who was quietly lowering her head, Zhong Ziqi felt uncomfortable. Reaching out to hold his clenched hand, Zhao Zhengan immediately raised his head and gave him a smirk.
When they arrived at the village, Zhong Ziqi pulled Zhao Zhengan out of the car, and accepted the sympathetic gazes without any surprise. Originally, Second Uncle Zhao didn't plan to take his money, because they had some friendship when Zhong Zhenhang was reborn. pitiful. But Zhong Ziqi didn't know about these things, so he gave Uncle Zhao a couple of pennies. He didn't want to owe favors because he didn't know each other well.
It was not too early when I got home, Zhong Ziqi didn't eat in town in order to save a few pennies, went into the main room, put down the basket, took out the things inside and directed Zhao Zhengan to put it away.
Because it was getting late, Zhong Ziqi was hungry and tired, so she planned to have a simple bite, and invited Zhao Ning and the others to dinner in the evening. Putting the basket in the corner, Zhong Ziqi straightened her body and asked the energetic Zhao Zhengan, "Are you hungry?"
"Hungry." Zhao Zhengan touched his stomach and nodded affirmatively, blinking his long and narrow eyes.
Zhong Ziqi couldn't help but refresh her view of Zhao Zheng'an, she didn't make noise when she was hungry, that's great!
"You wait, I'll cook, and we'll have delicious food in the evening."
"Oh" Zhao Zheng'an nodded obediently, but swallowed quietly, he really wanted to eat meat, and his wife said that it was good to have it at night!
After entering the kitchen, Zhong Ziqi raised his head and thought about it. Brown rice is definitely not something he can eat. He just bought noodles today, so let's make some pasta. Zhong Ziqi untied the noodle bag and scooped out enough noodles and (huo) water. He made noodles, saving time and effort, boiled the soup, and put the noodles in the pot for a while.
Zhao Zhengan stood by the door with half of his head exposed, his eyes fixed on the oily gnocchi.
Zhong Ziqi accidentally turned around and saw this scene, almost drooling. He couldn't help laughing, and handed him the packaged gnocchi: "No, put it on the table, don't spill it, be careful of scalding!"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhengan took the basin carefully, and walked towards the main room step by step.
Zhong Ziqi brought the bowl and chopsticks and the freshly mixed cucumber over.
Zhong Ziqi's cooking skills are pretty good, which can be seen from the fact that Zhao Zheng'an finished a bowl of hot noodles in a blink of an eye, and he hasn't finished half a bowl yet. Watching Zhao Zhengan fill the second bowl, he uneasy opened his mouth up and down to check: "Is it burnt? What are you doing in such a rush to eat? No one is going to snatch it from you."
Zhao Zhengan stared at the good-looking person in front of him with bright eyes and smirked, and let him examine him honestly without moving.
Seeing that his mouth was not scalded, Zhong Ziqi said that his voice was rough and fleshy, and said dumbfoundedly: "Eat slowly, these are all yours."
Zhao Zheng'an nodded fiercely. Erzhuzi (the eight or nine-year-old boy in the village) said that you should listen to your wife in everything, or she will not want you, so if the wife said to eat slowly, he should eat slowly. It's just that the taste is so good that I really want to eat it. He has never eaten such a delicious meal. The wife is really the best, better than my father and mother. If you don't beat him or call him a fool, give him back. He is delicious.
It would be an exaggeration to say that Zhong Ziqi's craftsmanship is so good, but it is more than enough than the best. In the previous life, as a single dog who lived alone, the cooking skills should be lit up or lit up. At the beginning, it was either burnt or boiled. After giving birth, no one noticed, so he practiced slowly, and when he was done, he invited that person to his home to give the name of the newly learned dish. Gradually, Zhong Ziqi's cooking skills became better and better. .
After walking for half a day, Zhong Ziqi was really tired. After eating, she told Zhao Zhengan not to run around and went to bed. The energetic Zhao Zhengan walked around the room boredly, and finally squatted in front of the bed. His eyes stared at the sleeping daughter-in-law for a moment, his hands itched to touch her smooth and tender face, but he felt that this would definitely wake her up, so he had to give up.
While watching and giggling for a while, he was also sleepy, took off his coat and climbed onto the bed lightly, put his hands on Zhong Ziqi's waist habitually, hugged him tightly, and then closed his eyes in satisfaction .
Zhong Ziqi, who was sleeping soundly, frowned uncomfortably in the dream, and moved her body unaccustomed, but she was so sleepy that she didn't wake up.
When the sun was about to set, Zhong Ziqi finally woke up. She stretched her waist briskly, turned her head and didn't see Zhao Zhengan's figure. He called out worriedly, "Zheng'an? Zhao Zhengan?"
After a while, hurried footsteps sounded, and Zhao Zhengan poked his head out from behind the door: "Daughter-in-law, you're awake."
Zhong Ziqi frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Zhengan raised his dirty hands: "I'm pulling weeds."
Except for the gate and the brick road leading to the gate, most of the other places in the yard are land. People have lived there for many years and the weeds are very tall. When they moved here yesterday, they just cleared the tall grass. Xiaonen The grass has no time to take care of it.
When Zhao Zhengan woke up, Zhong Ziqi was still awake. He walked out of the house and remembered that his wife would not let him go out and run around alone. When he was bored, he happened to see a lot of grass in the yard. As for the work of grass, then my daughter-in-law will be happy if I pull out all the grass, right
Zhong Ziqi didn't know that his little thoughts didn't run out and she was relieved, waved her hand and praised generously: "Zheng'an is very capable, go ahead and I'll make you dinner."
After tidying up her clothes, Zhong Ziqi remembered that she hadn't told Zhao Ning yet. He had to notify Zhao Ning earlier, otherwise everyone would have finished their meal. After going out, Zhao Zhengan was squatting diligently in the yard pulling weeds. He called out: "Zheng'an."
Zhao Zhengan got up and ran over, looking at him suspiciously.
"I'm going out for a while and I'll be right back. Can you wait for me at home?" Zhong Ziqi thought that she couldn't take him everywhere, and everyone had to learn to adapt slowly.
Zhao Zheng'an looked at Zhong Ziqi pitifully: "Will you take me with you, my daughter-in-law? Zheng'an won't make trouble, and will definitely listen to you obediently. Take me with you!"
Zhong Ziqi struggled to organize her words: "Zhengan, remember those two people who came to our house yesterday? They helped us, and I'm going to invite them to dinner, so it's not that I don't want you. I'll be back in a while. I have to come back to cook, you see this is our home, my clothes and everything are here, I will not leave you behind. Be obedient, okay?"
In Zhao Zhengan's mind, heaven and man were at war, one villain said to follow, another villain said he wanted to listen to his wife, he hesitated for a while, but the second villain defeated the first, he was afraid that his wife would hate him like everyone else, He wants to be obedient: "Then... daughter-in-law, you have to come back early."
Zhong Ziqi looked at the tearful Zhao Zhengan and nodded solemnly: "Then Zheng'an is at home by himself, and no one should open the door unless I come back, remember?"
Zhao Zhengan nodded with red eyes.
Only then did Zhong Ziqi go out with confidence, and found Zhao Ning's family according to the location in memory. Zhao Ning's family lived not far from the village, not very far, because the village was not in the center, so she didn't meet other villagers along the way. There are a few big willow trees in the center of the village, and a few stools are set up there, and everyone likes to sit there and chat.
"Dong dong dong" Zhong Ziqi knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Zhao Ning's voice came from far to near.
"Xiaoning, it's me, Ziqi."
Zhao Ning opened the door with a voice full of surprise: "Why are you here? Come in quickly."
"I won't go in. I'll ask you and Brother Sheng to come to my house for dinner. I bought meat and treat you to dinner tonight."
"Hey...why is it so troublesome, Ziqi, it's not easy for you, what do you spend that money on, I want to invite you later when you are rich, I will go if you don't invite me." Zhao Ning said with some complaints, He really thought of Zhong Ziqi, what he said yesterday was a joke, but Ziqi took it seriously.
"Don't worry, I know it well. Buying some meat is also a celebration of the family's housewarming. Please come over and have fun. This...you don't want to refuse, do you?" Zhong Ziqi said pretending to be sad, feeling that Zhao Ning was at his lowest point in his heart It's really nice to be able to think about him during the period.
"Okay, okay, I'll go after a while." Zhao Ning compromised helplessly.
"Then don't forget to call Brother Sheng, thanks to Brother Sheng yesterday." The hard and tiring work was all done by this kid, Zhao Sheng.
"Know it."
Only then did Zhong Ziqi smile and leave.
