In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the farmyard, adding a golden and warm color to the yard.
The yard has been kept clean and tidy, and the dilapidated kitchen in the side building has been repaired and cleaned. All it takes is an iron pot to start cooking.
When she and Hu Xiaoling separated yesterday, she asked for the key to the courtyard door, saying that she would come over today to help Nuan Nuan heat up the earthen kang in advance.
Thinking that she should have done all this work, I couldn't help but feel moved and blamed myself.
At this time, the Wen family, Wang Huahua and Wen Juan had just finished cooking.
"Have you come over to take a look today?" Wen Fengqi sat down and asked Wang Huahua, "Has she gone to work today?"
"Gone." Wang Huahua lowered his head, picked up the bowls and chopsticks and looked at him carefully, "She's not here, but the girl from the Hu family is helping her clean the yard."
Wen Fengqi didn't say a word, but the wounds on his face that were scratched by the tiles were even scarier because they were scabbed.
"I... Xiaoling has a good relationship with Nuan Nuan, and I'm thinking of asking her to help persuade Nuan Nuan." Wang Huahua said, "She can't listen to what we say now. It might be better for an outsider to persuade her."
This was also her idea, and she was afraid that Wen Fengqi would disagree.
After all, this is considered a family scandal.
But she didn't want to think about it, what other embarrassing things happened in their family over the years that the people of Sancha Village didn't know about?
Not to mention anything else, every time Wen Fengqi fought her, he never cared whether there were more or less people. If he felt unhappy, he would just talk loudly about it.
There is no such thing as keeping a family scandal in public in their family.
"Mom, please say goodbye," Wen Juan said sarcastically, "Hu Xiaoling can help my sister clean up the yard, how could she advise my sister? Maybe she gave me those ideas."
"Only you can." Wang Huahua cursed in a low voice, "Then what do you think we should do?"
She was a little worried because her daughter, who was usually well-behaved and obedient, was so stubborn that she couldn't even pull ten cows back.
Wen Juan didn't know what to do. If she had known, she would have found a way to get Wen Nuan married.
The dinner table suddenly became quiet.
Wen Fengqi picked up his chopsticks to eat and frowned, "Why does your food taste so bad?"
Same as pig food.
He glanced at Wen Juan again and said, "Wen Juan will start cooking tomorrow."
Wen Juan's eyes were red, "I can't."
"She doesn't know how to go to school," he said with a dark face, "your sister can cook at the age of six or seven."
Wen Juan was even more angry, but she didn't dare to say that she couldn't wait for Wen Juan to come back at this time.
"There is no need to rush this matter," Wen Fengqi said while eating. "It will take some time for Guozhi to come back. During this time, he can sharpen his temperament."
How can you win the favor of a man after being so stubborn in marriage?
If Lu Guozhi didn't like her, he wouldn't bring any benefits to their family.
"The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, should we ask her to come back for dinner?" Wang Huahua asked weakly.
"You are her mother, you have to decide what to do." Wen Fengqi said, "Sometimes a slap in the face means giving a sweet date, but if she doesn't know how to show appreciation, then forget it."
Wang Huahua nodded.
I thought to myself, no matter what, I still want the warmth to come back for dinner.
At least, she has to cook the New Year's Eve dinner. Wen Fengqi has become increasingly dissatisfied with her cooking recently.
There may be some way, she also cooks very carefully, but what she cooks is not warm and delicious.
Is it annoying?
Early the next morning, Wen Nuan packed up and went to find Hu Xiaoling, bringing yesterday's malted milk to Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang said she didn't want anything, but later she was still angry and asked, "Are you afraid that my dad will find out and cause trouble?"
She felt aggrieved when she said this.
Aunt Wang couldn't stand her like this, so she immediately said to her, "I'm not afraid of him, you girl."
One of the big names in Sancha Village is Wang, and the one who comes down is Wen. Aunt Wang's family has many brothers, and the Wang family is not afraid of Wen Fengqi, but they don't want to have anything to do with this madman.
In a word, he doesn't cause trouble, but he's not afraid of it either.
He tapped her forehead with his hand and said, "Little clever devil."
Then he said, "Come back early at noon and let's cook meat in the afternoon."
She quietly handed some money and tickets to Hu Xiaoling, "Look at what Nuannuan wants to buy, tell your aunt, and I'll make up for it later with the tickets and money."
Aunt Wang's sister works in the county supply and marketing cooperative.
This was Nuan Nuan's first trip to the county town since her rebirth. She had already mentally reviewed what she needed to buy last night, mainly buying some daily necessities and pots and pans.
But these things, in this era, you can’t buy anything without tickets.
Wen Nuan didn't have industrial coupons, so of course she couldn't buy an iron pot, but she bought a casserole through Aunt Wang's relationship.
"You go back and wait, Auntie will think of a solution for you." Aunt Wang patted her chest and said, "Let's see if we can get some defective products."
But I didn't get too excited about the warmth.
However, the money was not spent. I bought a few things and the money and tickets were almost used.
Wen Nuan sighed once again and had to find a way to make money quickly.
It just so happened that Hu Xiaoling wanted to send something to her aunt's house, so Wen Nuan discussed it with her and waited at the crossroads at Zhendong Hotel for a while.
After separating from her, Wen Nuan found a hidden alley. He didn't dare to get meat out, so he got some cabbage, radish and noodles.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, county management is not so strict, and there are even markets for buying, selling or exchanging daily necessities.
Nuan Nuan walked around twice and found a few older ladies who looked like they were working in the company, and successfully exchanged the things he took out from the space for money.
When she went to Zhendong Hotel, Hu Xiaoling was already waiting for her.
As for the Wen family in Sancha Village, after breakfast, Wang Huahua patted the dust on his body and pointed at Wen Juan, "Wash the pots and dishes. I'll go out."
It was too cold in winter, and Wen Juan didn't want to wash it, "Wen Qiang hasn't gotten up yet."
They are both children of the Wen family. Just because she is a girl, she was called up early to cook, and now she has to wash the dishes. The water is so cold in winter. And Wen Qiang can sleep on the kang like a dead pig.
Likewise, they still have to leave food for him.
Why?
Just because she is a girl.
"You wash up first, and when Qiangzi gets up, heat up the food for him." Wang Huahua said.
"I won't wash it," Wen Juan said, "I'll let him wash it if he wakes up late."
"Are you going to die?" Wang Huahua hit Wen Juan with her apron, "Don't be like your sister, go wash the pot quickly."
Everyone will rebel!
"Why is this damn woman not at home?" Seeing the lock hanging on the door, Wang Huahua stamped her feet and muttered as she walked back, "I'm blocking you at night, let's see where you can hide?"
She thought the warmth was hiding from her.
"Sister," someone stopped her, "do you know how to get to Nuan Nuan's house?"
Looking for something warm?
Wang Huahua looked at the visitor, rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "I am Nuan Nuan's mother."
"We are sent by Director Lu to give you a New Year gift." The man said with a smile.
