"Go get a bowl."
As soon as Ji Huai said something, Tang Xiuer went to get the bowl and brought a bamboo basket.
He took out things one by one from the bamboo basket, put the meat and pig blood, took out the still warm mung bean cake and handed it to her, "Hurry and eat it while it's hot."
Tang Xiuer took the pastries, like a greedy little cat, with crooked eyebrows and asked, "Have you gone to town?"
"Yes." He continued to pour out the fungus and mushrooms, picking them and putting them into the bamboo basket.
She ate the sweet mung bean cake and looked at the pork and pig blood, including a section of ribs. She still felt distressed, "How much does it cost to buy these? It's too much at once, we can't finish it."
Ji Huai: "I didn't buy it."
Tang Xiuer slowed down while nibbling the pastry, and the smile at the corner of her mouth also subsided. She said softly, "If you didn't buy it, where did it come from? Did you exchange it for game?"
Ji Huai didn't answer.
What else doesn't she understand? She stuffed the cake into his arms, turned around angrily, walked out of the kitchen, and returned to the room without looking back.
Ji Huai looked at the cakes in his arms and called her back twice.
He was very angry this time and ignored him. He even quickened his steps and closed the door after entering the house.
Ji Huai: "..."
He took the pastries and knocked on the door twice, but the people inside ignored him and pretended not to hear.
"You really don't want to eat? It will get cold after a while." He approached the door, lowered his voice and coaxed her softly, "What we shot today was just a little wild boar, and I caught it in just a few tries."
What made Tang Xiuer angry was that he went to hunt wild boars again. Wild boars are not docile animals, and she was afraid that he would get hurt.
"Don't eat!" The person inside said in a hard tone.
Ji Huai: "I won't open the door if I don't want to eat."
"Don't open it!" Tang Xiuer even argued with him.
"Then you won't eat either?" Ji Huai had a good temper and said again while standing at the door.
"I won't eat anymore." Her voice came out.
Sister-in-law Ji and Sister-in-law Ji have finished their quarrel. Both of them have dark faces. One is standing aside, pretending to be busy in the yard, but in fact they are observing their behavior.
Ji Huai actually shot a wild boar and brought back pork and pig blood. Judging from the weight, they should have their share, but after the quarrel just now, even if it was given to them, they were too embarrassed to take it.
My heart is bleeding.
That's wild boar! I wish I could slap myself twice.
This little girl Tang Xiuer has a really bad temper. Ji Huai even bought her cakes, but she actually lost her temper even though she didn't eat them.
Seeing her ignoring Ji Huai, the two of them felt disdainful. Ji Huai didn't have a gentle temper. After being teased like this, Tang Xiuer was plucking the tiger's hair, right
I bought her pastries and brought back pork. This woman was making trouble because she was pregnant. What man could bear it
"You really don't want to eat?" Ji Huai asked again.
Sister-in-law Ji and Sister-in-law Ji also listened and felt that his tone had changed, as if he was on the verge of getting angry. Unfortunately, the people inside had not noticed it yet.
Tang Xiuer leaned against the bed, the child in her belly was kicking her, she touched the child and said, "I don't want to eat."
She didn't want him to take risks to hunt these ferocious prey. What if he encountered a big insect again
"OK!"
Ji Huai's voice came from outside the door again, and then she heard his leaving footsteps.
Just hearing these words, she sat up straight again, a little panicked.
Is he angry
Sister-in-law Ji and Sister-in-law Ji also felt that Ji Huai must be angry, and they even felt that Tang Xiuer was bringing it upon herself.
Ji Huai walked into the kitchen again and started to handle the wild boar meat. He is the best at doing these things, washing mushrooms, soaking fungus, and chopping pork and ribs.
Waves of aroma came from the kitchen.
He stir-fried pork with mushrooms, made soup with ribs, and stir-fried vegetables with fungus.
As each dish was cooked, the aroma wafted into Tang Xiuer's nose in the utility room, but more than that, the question of whether Ji Huai would be angry made him uneasy. As for Sister-in-law Ji and Sister-in-law Ji's family, the two families were getting hungrier as they ate cassava porridge and pickles.
Ji Heng wanted to go to the kitchen to ask Ji Huai for meat. Sister-in-law Ji stopped her so sternly for the first time, "Why are you going? You have never eaten meat? Will you die if you don't eat it once?"
"You don't think it's embarrassing, but I still think you are embarrassed!"
She had already fallen out with Ji Huai and his wife, and her son still shamelessly went to him to beg for meat, which she still wanted.
"I want to eat meat." Ji Heng started to make trouble again.
"Meat, meat, meat, you know how to eat meat. Why don't others make a fuss about it? You are the only one who makes a fuss. You are shameless and shameless. Isn't it embarrassing? You don't think it's embarrassing, but I think you are embarrassed!" Sister-in-law Ji said harshly, " Go, don't come back after you go, let your third uncle take care of you from now on, see if he can take care of you! I will treat you as a gluttonous son! It's embarrassing."
After saying that, she slammed her chopsticks on the table. Ji Heng was startled and did not dare to speak anymore.
"Noisy, noisy, what's the point? Let's eat!" Brother Ji yelled at Sister Ji, his tone was also very bad, and he was sarcastic, "If you hadn't made a fuss about the separation, would you be like this now?"
Sister-in-law Ji just thinks she is smart.
"Didn't you agree at the beginning? Don't blame me." Sister-in-law Ji said back.
Brother Ji didn't want to admit it, so he quarreled with her again. A good meal turned into a quarrel again.
The second brother Ji's house next door is not much better. A family of four is having dinner. The second sister-in-law Ji also has a dark face. When she hears the quarrel at brother Ji's house, her eyes are filled with schadenfreude.
Brother Ji was completely impatient when he saw her like this. He looked at the food on the table, took two hasty bites and then stood up.
While washing dishes, Sister-in-law Ji and Sister-in-law Ji met. Neither of them looked at the other, their eyes were full of fire, they snorted coldly, and turned around again.
Ji Huai's fried meat was so fragrant that one dish after another was placed on the table, but he walked out and was no longer in the kitchen.
That's pork. There's not just one or two pieces on the plate, it's all pork, and it's almost overflowing. There are also a lot of mushrooms and pork ribs in the soup, and there is also a stir-fried dish of pork blood and leeks.
The two of them were washing dishes, but their eyes were locked on those dishes. They didn't even eat so well during the Chinese New Year!
They swallowed wildly, it was so delicious, and deep down they wanted to tear each other into pieces. If the other party hadn't acted like a monster and quarreled, they would be the ones eating this now.
Wild boar, pork ribs, pig blood, wood ear mushrooms…
My intestines are almost full of regret.
Ji Huai came back again, and they pretended to be busy. When they saw him walking out with the food, they pretended to be disdainful.
Tang Xiu'er was so ignorant and Ji Huai had a bad temper. It was impossible for them to enjoy this meal! Moreover, Ji Huai had just asked Tang Xiuer to open the door, and the two of them were afraid that they would have a big fight.
They listened with perked ears.
When Sister-in-law Ji walked out of the kitchen, she heard Ji Huai raise her voice and say, "Are you sure you don't want to eat? Tang Xiuer, tell me again."
Sister-in-law Ji stopped and leaned over.
Ji Huai's words came again, "Okay, if you don't want to eat it, don't eat it. Don't eat it in the future!"
Sister-in-law Ji and Sister-in-law Ji seemed to have guessed this scene a long time ago.
Ji Huai would not tolerate Tang Xiuer. Did he really think that he would be able to dominate after having a child
Immediately afterwards, there was no more movement in the utility room. They imagined a scene without thinking: Ji Huai was eating meat, while Tang Xiuer stayed aside, not daring to get angry.
Thinking this way, they felt a lot more balanced.
Actually.
Tang Xiu'er really didn't eat, and Ji Huai was indeed eating. He ate the meat with big mouthfuls. Looking at her sitting in front of the table, his face dropped just now, and he was threatening. She pursed her red lips and didn't move. .
While he was eating, he also served her rib soup, placed it in front of her, and motioned her to eat some with his eyes.
Tang Xiuer was very greedy, but she refused to eat. She was too hungry because she was pregnant with the child, so she took a side of mung bean cake and stuffed it into her mouth.
Ji Huai immediately grabbed the mung bean cake and handed her the chopsticks.
She didn't answer.
"Eat something," he said.
The person who was threatening with a dark face just now is talking nicely again.
Tang Xiuer didn't want to eat at all. If she didn't eat, he wouldn't go hunting and wouldn't be in danger.
Seeing that she still didn't move, Ji Huai promised, "I won't hunt anymore."
After hearing what he said, Tang Xiuer looked at him suspiciously, as if she didn't believe it.
"No, I'm going to go to town to find a job in a while. At worst, I can make bamboo baskets to feed you." Ji Huai put the chopsticks into her hands, "Eat quickly, otherwise it will be really cold."
"We still have some money." She softened her expression and finally gave in. She picked up the soup he served for her and drank it in small sips.
"That money is reserved for you to have a baby and raise a baby." Ji Huai gave her a piece of meat, but she was drinking soup, so he put it directly to her mouth.
She opened her mouth slightly and bit down. The meat he fried was so delicious.
"Eat a piece of pig's blood." He picked up another piece of pig's blood and handed it to her mouth, "It's still relatively tender."
Tang Xiuer opened her mouth again and tasted it. It was indeed more delicious. She answered him while eating the meat, "But it makes a lot of money. I can also embroider purses and sell them."
"Okay, when you give birth to the child, we will move to the town. You can weave bamboo baskets and you can embroider purses. When he grows up, we can send him to school." Ji Huai took a mouthful of food and chatted naturally.
Tang Xiuer was stunned by what he said.
Going to town
They have always lived in the village, and no one in the village would go to the town. After all, there is still land for farming in the village, and chickens and ducks can be raised, so they can live without money.
"Where should we stay in town?" She took it seriously.
He has thought about his children going to school, but this is simply not possible.
"Rent a house." Ji Huai continued to eat, "rent a house when the time comes, and buy a house when you make money."
"It doesn't cost anything to live here, why don't you go to town?" She flinched. They also have to spend money to rent a house. Although they have money, they can't just sit back and have nothing.
"Can we live here? It's so small. Do we have to live here after the child is born?" Ji Huai looked around the utility room and said, "Instead of building a house and living with them, it is better to go to the town. Maybe there will be a chance." "
Tang Xiuer was about to say build a house, but when she thought of the quarrel with Sister Ji and the others today, she swallowed her words.
Building a house means living together forever, and she doesn't want to live with them anymore.
"Is it expensive to rent a house in the town?" She had never understood this. She heard that buying a house in the town was very expensive, and no one in the village would buy it.
I heard that someone bought it in a village not far away, but it was so beautiful that everyone was talking about it.
"Don't we still have money? I can feed you." Ji Huai gave her another piece of meat, "Can I let you suffer with me?"
His tone was not gentle, but it was natural, but it made Tang Xiuer feel sweet in her heart. She felt that it was fine to go anywhere, to the town, or to the city, as long as she was with him.
"I will listen to you." She bit the meat with a smile on her lips.
Ji Huai put a piece of meat into his mouth and looked at her sitting across from him with an imperceptible smile on his lips, "If you don't listen to me, who will you listen to?"
Tang Xiuer was embarrassed and quickly buried her head.
Sister-in-law Ji and Sister-in-law Ji were still waiting for the two to quarrel, but nothing happened.
In the afternoon, Ji Huai was weaving bamboo baskets in the yard, and Tang Xiuer was sitting next to him making clothes. The material was new and the style had never been seen before.
Although the two of them didn't speak, the atmosphere was clearly not noisy.
"Let me measure it." Tang Xiuer was halfway done, and she still held the clothes and gestured on Ji Huai's body, very gentle and virtuous.
Ji Huai also seemed to have never lost his temper. She raised her hand when asked and turned around when asked.
In the evening, he also heated the meals.
Sister-in-law Ji got up in the middle of the night and went to the latrine. There were still whispers in the utility room.
She was also too busy, hiding in the doorway of other people's houses and listening in the corner.
It's hot today, and the utility room is very stuffy when the door is closed. Tang Xiuer doesn't cover herself with a quilt, but the utility room is messy. When the weather is hot, there are a lot of mosquitoes.
Her skin was tender and there were several bites on her hands, which were very itchy and painful to scratch.
Ji Huai saw her tossing and turning and reached out to hug her, but it became even hotter when they were hugged together. She broke out in a thin sweat and turned around in his arms, pushing him away irritably.
After she pushed it away, she felt it was too much, so she leaned over and asked him to scratch her itch. She was already tired, sleepy and annoyed, and her words were also dragged out, "Please scratch it for me, it's so itchy."
"I'll scratch it for you." Ji Huai had a good temper and pulled her hand over. His slightly rough hands wandered over her fair and delicate skin, looking for the raised bumps.
"Here." She directed him.
After Ji Huai found it, he gently scratched it with his fingertips and said, "Tomorrow I will go to town to buy some medicine packs to repel insects and mosquitoes."
"It's so hot," she added.
Before he finished speaking, he took the fan on the side, pulled her into his arms again, and fanned her gently.
Waves of cool wind came, and Tang Xiuer gradually felt comfortable and sober. In the dark night, she raised her head and looked at Ji Huai.
In fact, you can't see anything, it's blurry, but you feel that he is much closer.
She didn't know what the evil was, but she suddenly remembered what those little wives said that day. Looking at his chin so close, she accidentally kissed him.
Ji Huai's fanning action paused slightly.
Her face suddenly turned red and her body became stiff. She just thought that he was good to her and obeyed her, and she was obsessed with him for a while.
The next moment, he suddenly lowered his head, kissed her forehead, and whispered, "I'll fan you, go to sleep."
Tang Xiuer's heart almost melted, and her embarrassment disappeared in an instant. Because of the response, she became even bolder, like a child, twisting and turning in his arms, a little coquettishly.
"Sleep." He seemed helpless, tickling her with his other hand and squeezing her palm from time to time.
Tang Xiuer was very happy and kissed him again.
Ji Huai also bowed his head and kissed her back, hugging her into his arms. She became even more noisy, with the corners of her mouth raised so much that she almost stopped laughing.
"Don't make too much noise." He was helpless.
She snorted softly, "I'm going to make a fuss."
Those little wives said that this is what men do in bed.
Ji Huai sighed, leaned into her ear and lowered his voice, "You are still pregnant with the child, and you are not afraid of suffocating me to death?"
Tang Xiuer didn't react at first, but when she did, her whole face turned red again.
"Go to sleep." He chuckled and reached out to pat her back gently.
She buried her head in his arms and didn't dare to say anything now.
Sister-in-law Ji listened for a while longer, but no sound came from inside, and she cursed Tang Xiuer hundreds of times in her heart. She thought the other party was some serious person.
As expected, he was not a peaceful person, and he probably even encouraged Ji Huai to deal with them.
She turned around while thinking about it, and when she saw Brother Ji with a sinister face not far away, she was startled and screamed, "Ah!"
The other person was staring at her, looking horrified.
Tang Xiuer was just about to fall asleep when she was startled awake by the scream. Fortunately, Ji Huai hugged her immediately and held her in his arms to comfort her.
There was a fierce quarrel between Brother Ji and Sister Ji outside the door. He reached out and covered her ears, "It's okay, just keep sleeping."
Tang Xiuer leaned in his arms and closed her eyes again.
