A long time later, Li Jingming took a steamed bun from the brick and tile factory, gnawed it, and walked towards his home.
When passing by the river, he looked down at his clothes that were covered in mud, dove into the river, and swam back and forth several times to make sure there was no sweat odor on his body, and then he walked towards home.
The lock hanging on the door was gone, and the door was locked from behind. It was my daughter-in-law's fault.
Li Jingming put his ear next to the door and heard the sound of chopping things coming from inside. It was really his wife who came back. He curled his lips, took a few steps back, and quickly rushed towards the courtyard wall.
His strong arms supported the courtyard wall, and his body easily jumped over the wall.
Yang Lina was busy chopping meat and didn't notice that Li Jingming had entered the yard.
Li Jingming tiptoed into the house, changed into clean sportswear, freshened up, and appeared behind Yang Lina in brand new clothes.
Yang Lina noticed something strange behind her, and just as she was about to turn around, her waist tightened, and Li Jingming's chin rested on Yang Lina's shoulder.
The warm and familiar breath surrounded Yang Lina's ears, making her itch.
"You scared me to death. I thought there was a burglar."
Yang Lina smiled slightly and moved her tightly wrapped body.
"You came back early today, I thought it was a lie."
As Li Jingming spoke, he tightened his hands on his waist and kissed Yang Lina on the cheek urgently.
As soon as he came in, his eyes could not be separated from the back of his young daughter-in-law who was working hard.
"I locked the door, how did you get in?"
"Comed over the wall."
After Li Jingming finished speaking, he rubbed his rough cheek against Yang Lina's face before reluctantly letting her go.
The little daughter-in-law didn't know how to stop what she was doing and look at herself carefully.
Every day when his daughter-in-law came back, he would pick her up at the right time and change into clean clothes, except when he was particularly busy.
Li Jingming moved Yang Lina aside and took the initiative to roll up his sleeves to help.
Yang Lina smiled silently, took a cucumber and stood gnawing on it.
He looked at Li Jingming from beginning to end, put his nose close to smell it, and said with a smile: "Didn't you go to the brick and tile factory today? Why don't you smell of sweat?"
"When I came back, I was dirty. I jumped into the river and swam twice. What happened to the chicken in the yard?"
Li Jingming jumped in and discovered the chicken. When he saw the rope tied to the chicken's feet, he knew it was the work of his little daughter-in-law.
Most people don't do this.
Yang Lina's eyes were rolling. It seemed that Luo Xiaoyan really conveyed her words and did not take the opportunity to say anything else to Li Jingming.
"That...was given to you by your old lover. She said that you have been too tired recently and she wanted to give you a chicken to replenish your health."
Yang Lina smiled and wanted to see Li Jingming's reaction.
Li Jingming was startled at first, old lover?
Thinking that the news of his wife's return was conveyed to him by Luo Xiaoyan, he guessed that the chicken was a gift from Luo Xiaoyan.
"Are you kidding me? How could you accept it when she sent it to me? I'm not familiar with her, so if I want to make up for it, my wife will do it for me.
Just wait, I'll send it to her right away."
Who knows what she is thinking when she speaks softly and takes advantage of others?
Li Jingming glanced at his young daughter-in-law, fearing that she might have some inappropriate expression.
As he said that, he had already walked to the yard and planned to untie the rope from the chicken's feet.
"You don't think it's appropriate either?"
Yang Lina held a cucumber in one hand and crossed her arm with the other, looking thoughtful.
"What?"
Li Jingming was confused by Yang Lina and couldn't understand what was going on for a while.
"She came to apologize to me, saying that if I didn't accept the chicken, it meant that I hadn't forgiven her. She said that if I didn't accept it today, she would come back tomorrow until I accepted it.
You know that I like to be quiet, but I am really afraid that she will disturb me every day, so I reluctantly accept it and wait for you to come back and speak. What do you think I should do?"
"Luo Xiaoyan?"
Li Jingming also couldn't understand why Luo Xiaoyan, who loves money as much as her life, would buy a chicken as a gift, or give it to her young wife.
He remembered correctly. Luo Xiaoyan was eager to cause trouble for her little daughter-in-law before. This chicken wasn't poisoned, right?
Thinking of this, Li Jingming felt that he was overthinking it. The chicken was obviously alive and well.
After thinking about it, he didn't understand what Luo Xiaoyan was thinking.
"Since she said so, just keep it for now, and kill it when you want to eat it someday."
The little daughter-in-law likes peace and quiet. If this chicken is sent back by herself, I am afraid that Luo Xiaoyan will really come again tomorrow.
"Daughter-in-law, could you please stop calling other women that way next time? You have to know that I only have you as my lover and you as my wife."
Li Jingming pretended to be displeased, with flour still stuck to his hands. When he raised his hand, a little flour stuck to the tip of Yang Lina's nose.
Yang Lina curled her lips and handed the cucumber in her hand to Li Jingming's mouth, and he took a big bite.
"Also, the person who stole my blueprints has been found, and he is the person you saved. It seems that I have to stay away from you for safety. When I was lame, I was scolded for standing next to you. Now I am fine, and I am framed everywhere again.
, my life is really miserable."
After finishing her words, Yang Lina shook her head pretending to be sad, looking thoughtful.
"It's really her. I've wronged you. Why don't you stop doing it and stay by my side from now on. Your man will protect you and you won't have to worry about these things."
Li Jingming felt that now that he could make money, his wife no longer had to travel around and work hard to earn money.
Yang Lina's mind was on the dividends and wages in her bankbook, which already amounted to almost 100,000 yuan. This was a huge sum of money, and it was the first pot of gold she had earned in this strange place after leaving her previous life.
If she really quits her job and stays at home, how much less will she earn in a year?
I did a quick and rough calculation in my mind. If I resign, my dividends will definitely still be there. I will earn less than ten thousand or twenty thousand a year. This ten thousand or twenty thousand is probably equivalent to two luxury houses.
Looking at the situation in front of her, it is better not to resign yet. At least she can go to the county town for a walk every day and meet different people and things. If she stays in this village, she is afraid that she will become a resentful woman over time.
"No, I won't resign. If you ask me to resign now, it's like asking you to close the brick and tile factory."
The last sentence, "Are you willing to do this?" Before he could say it, Li Jingming's words came out.
"How about that?"
It took a lot of effort for him to get where he is today.
Looking at his young wife's serious expression, he suddenly understood that it was not easy for his young daughter-in-law to get to where she is today, and it was even more difficult than it was for him.
The little daughter-in-law relies entirely on her own efforts, and he is what he is today because of Song Siming, so he will not give up, and the little daughter-in-law will not give up easily.
Li Jingming smiled fondly and reached out to touch her head, but his hands were full of flour.
