"Wife, if you're not here, we can't find any money at home. Aunt Manchun buys and cooks all the vegetables in our house these days. When you come back, remember to return the vegetable money to Aunt Manchun. We also have to Thank you very much auntie."
Jiang Liu was a man after all, so he was embarrassed to be seen by so many people. He rubbed his face with his hands, calmed down a little, and began to orderly warn his daughter-in-law.
"And the big guys have been very concerned about me these days. They either brought milk or bought calcium supplements. Since everyone is here today, let's have lunch at my house, Hongmei, go to more Buy some vegetables and say hello to everyone."
Liuzi is really a person who knows how to be grateful. The people present heard Jiang Liu's words and felt very comfortable. After all, no one wanted to help a white-eyed wolf.
"No, I really want to eat. I'll talk about it when your injury is healed. Don't bother Hongmei."
It's comfortable to be comfortable, and everyone won't stay for dinner so blindly.
"No, I should thank you all!"
Yu Hongmei secretly scolded Jiang Liu for having a bad idea, but Jiang Liu said it all, but she had to do it. Her previous behavior of leaving home was too reckless, and I am afraid it has already caused a bad impact, so in the future she She must be seen by others to be virtuous and considerate.
"I was in a hurry before. Fortunately, everyone helped me take care of Liuzi and the two children. I'll go buy some good wine and food. Today, everyone must have lunch at my house."
I want to invite these people present, as well as those who came to my house to give gifts and expressed condolences a few days ago. This is not a small amount. Even if Hongmei can buy some cooked food and come back to make up the number, she has to do a lot. vegetable.
She is not a woman who likes to go to the kitchen. After watching some health programs and magazines from Hong Kong and Taiwan, Yu Hongmei believes that a light diet is a healthy life. She basically does not cook meat on weekdays, and eats the most Boiled vegetables and steamed seafood.
The local food is still very flavorful. Cooking likes stir-frying, and the original taste is the same. It’s just because he likes Hongmei. Every time he goes home, he forces himself to adapt to the taste of Hongmei and eat those that are basically oil-free. Salt seasoned meals.
You must know that the original body is engaged in manual work. When he is on the construction site, he will save money and send money home. When he returns home, he will not get nutritional supplements, but his appetite will be drastically reduced because the food tastes bland.
Yu Hongmei may have noticed this, but she is accustomed to Yuanshen's accommodating, never said to make more dishes that suit Yuanshen's appetite, nor allow Yuanshen to buy chili, onion, ginger and other seasonings and make them herself. The reason is that she is not used to the taste.
This is also the reason why Aunt Manchun doesn't see any traces of cooking in the kitchen when she is helping Jiang Liu cook, because Yu Hongmei's cooking method does not produce too much oil fume and naturally does not deposit grease.
Now I want to invite outsiders to my house for dinner. No matter how stupid Yu Hongmei is, she should know that the plain dishes in the past cannot be served. When she thinks of frying those heavy-tasting food in the kitchen, her well-maintained face will be exposed to those greasy dishes. Amidst the fireworks, Yu Hongmei felt agitated.
"Hongmei, thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Liu said gratefully, and then scratched his head with a smirk, as if he was silly and happy for his wife to go home.
Yu Hongmei smiled, then took out her wallet and went out to buy groceries.
After that, Aunt Manchun still stayed at Jiang's house, and the others went back to their own house, but before leaving Jiang's house, they also agreed to come over to eat at mealtime.

"I think Liuzi is very good. Who said he was an alcoholic before? Is this different from the rumors?"
After those people left Jiang's house, they couldn't help but talk in a low voice.
Listening to what Jiang Liu said just now, his coherence is still very clear, and it doesn't look like he gave up on himself because of his leg injury.
"I don't know that. But on the day Yu Hongmei returned to her parents' house, he did drink a lot of alcohol. Could it be that he was frightened by Yu Hongmei's return to his parents' house and decided to cheer up?"
The other man answered.
"I think it's more interesting for people who don't say these words."
Jiang Liu is an alcoholic, except for himself, I am afraid that Yu Hongmei, a pillow-side person, knows that Jiang Liu himself will definitely not tell others that he is an alcoholic, so the only person who spreads the news is Yu Hongmei.
This is interesting, why did Yu Hongmei tell others about this? What good does it do for her to spread these words
Maybe it was because Jiang Liu was too affectionate today, everyone's emotions were inclined to think that Jiang Liu was not an alcoholic and decadent man, maybe because of the injury on his leg, he couldn't help but drink some alcohol, but he didn't get addicted. the extent of it.
Before Yu Hongmei returned to her parents' house, was it really because her mother was sick, or whether she didn't want to live with Jiang Liu anymore? This is all undecided. It seems that Yu Hongmei's motives are not so simple.
These people looked at each other and decided to observe Yu Hongmei carefully.
And the question that these people are all puzzled, how can Aunt Manchun, a woman who is alive and well, not see it.
******
"Liuzi, although you may not want to listen to what Auntie is going to say later, Auntie still hopes you can listen."
The sadness on Aunt Manchun's face hasn't subsided since Yu Hongmei came back: "Since Hongmei is back, I don't think anything happened before, so I'll just take her back to her mother's house to take care of her sick old lady. "
With that said, Aunt Manchun's voice paused, "You like your daughter-in-law, so you don't want to think about many things, but Auntie still has to remind you to ask your daughter-in-law to get your ID card and compensation back."
Aunt Manchun thought, whether Yu Hongmei really wanted to live with Jiang Liu or not, Jiang Liu must take the compensation money in her own hands.
Didn't it say in the news reports that this kind of compensation is personal, even if Yu Hongmei wants to divorce Jiang Liu, she will not be able to share the compensation.
More than 200,000 yuan is not a small amount. If Jiang Liu's leg is really lame, the money is likely to be his survival money in the future. With this money, he can at least see a doctor and not starve to death. The money was taken away by Yu Hongmei, and he was really mysterious.
"Auntie didn't mean to provoke your relationship with your daughter-in-law. If Hongmei really wants to live with you, the money will be in your hands and hers. If she takes care of you for a while and finds out that she still can't carry you I don’t plan to live with you anymore, this heavy burden can save you a lot of trouble with this money.”
That is to say, Jiang Liu's parents are old friends with her, and Jiang Liu and her second child are younger than their own brothers, otherwise Aunt Manchun would not say these thankless words.
"After all, you are not alone. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about wealth and flowers. They can't spend too much money in primary school now, but when they go to high school, which one will cost less tuition or accommodation? Now that the married man is out of the house, if he becomes a college student and stays in a big city, can you think of a way to give him a down payment for a house? And Huakai, they are all only children in this generation , The girl's family has only one daughter, and she accompanies the room and the car. The flower blooming situation is a little special. After all, she still has a brother, but you have to give the dowry some furniture, all of which cost money."
Aunt Manchun broke things up and told them to Jiang Liu, hoping that he wouldn't be stupid, thinking that when Yu Hongmei came back, she was here to live with him wholeheartedly.
Although the old lady doesn't know the reason for Yu Hongmei's coming and going back and forth, she can tell her intuitively that the purpose of Yu Hongmei's return this time is definitely not that simple.
"Auntie, I know."
Confusion and confusion flashed in Jiang Liu's eyes, and soon, his emotions calmed down, and he bowed gratefully to Aunt Manchun.
"I will discuss the money matters with Hongmei, but I still believe in Hongmei. I believe she is a good woman."
Jiang Liu's face revealed a naive look: "Actually, it's still too selfish for me to let Hongmei stay by my side. If I really become a waste, Hongmei staying by my side will be wronged to her. She is still young. There's no need to fight to the death on my crippled body."
As he spoke, he twitched the corners of his mouth: "If one day Hongmei really doesn't want to have sex with me, I will agree to divorce."
"Eh-"
Aunt Manchun wants to scold this fool, how can there be such a stupid man who is willing to let his wife run away after his accident, but it is such a simple and honest Jiang Liu that she can't scold her, she only hopes that Yu Hongmei has a little conscience , Even if the two are going to get divorced in the future, at least don't bring it up while Jiang Liu is recovering.

At lunch, with the help of Aunt Manchun, Yu Hongmei finally cooked a decent meal. Since marrying the Jiang family, Yu Hongmei has not been so tired, because her parents are also kind people. , When they were still alive, they arranged the New Year's Eve dinner at home. After the two elders of the Jiang family passed away one after another, because the Jiang family had no close relatives, even the New Year's Eve dinner was very ordinary. Cutting meat is killing fish and chickens. A person can't wait to cut into three parts of life, only because Hongmei experienced it before she got married.
Jiang Liu was lying on the bed, and a few men helped him carry the bed to the dining table. Although he couldn't eat at the table, he was able to carry the dish specially prepared for him and chat with the people sitting at the dining table.
"I thought about it, the doctor said that my legs are very likely to be lame, but there is also a certain probability that they can be taken care of. Starting from tomorrow, I will drink a few bowls of bone soup every day, eat well and drink well, and put my body first. Take care of it, you can't let your body break down before the injury is healed."
Jiang Liu said resolutely, "I am a man, and my wife and children have to rely on me to earn money to support them. If my leg is lame, this family will collapse, so even if rehabilitation is difficult, I have to endure it. "
Jiang Liu's remarks were unanimously affirmed by everyone. That's right, he has to have confidence. Maybe things are not as bad as everyone thinks.
"I do know a recipe, Tian Qi cooks chicken. There was a man at my daughter-in-law's family's house who had his leg broken by a car. The doctor suggested that he drink more of this. Now he walks like a normal person, and he can still work in the fields."
"I've heard that pork bone soup and lamb bone soup are also good, as well as chicken blood vine wine. It would be better if you can get authentic tiger bone wine."
"Animal liver is also good. If you have broken bones, you should supplement calcium and buy more nutritional products. Liuzi, don't worry about money now. Your body is the most important thing. You can earn money after you spend it."
Everyone, you talked about the best remedies for bone healing that you knew, and Aunt Manchun listened and wrote down, so that when the time came, Jiang Liu and Yu Hongmei could be reminded.
"I thought so too, it's just troublesome for Hongmei. It's troublesome to cook soup and chicken every day."
Listening to the remedies proposed by everyone, Jiang Liu was a little excited, as if his legs would definitely feel good after eating those things, but just talking, he hesitated, this is this soup, this soup, this is this. It's not Yu Hongmei's wife who is in trouble.
Jiang Liu felt distressed for his daughter-in-law, fearing that her daughter-in-law would be tired, so he was a little embarrassed.
"What's so troublesome about this, isn't it a special case for you?"
The people on the side really didn't think there was any trouble. His man injured his leg, shouldn't his wife help in making soup and cooking? Besides, it's not easy for Jiang Liu to make money outside these years, and he was injured to earn money to support his family. This is not a disgraceful injury. If Yu Hongmei still thinks making soup is too troublesome at this moment, it will be a bit unconscionable.
"No trouble."
Yu Hongmei squeezed her hands under the dining table tightly and squeezed out a smile.
She still remembered the purpose of her coming back. She wanted to let others know that she was a very virtuous wife, and she couldn't turn her face at this time.
But when she thinks that she has to do so many things after that, Yu Hongmei feels irritable, but she can't show her irritability, which can hold her back from internal injuries.
