"Are you full now?"
Seeing that Yang Guizhi was full after just one bowl of noodles, Ni Yinghong was in disbelief. It was not like she had never seen her relatives in rural areas eat so much. A big-bellied man could only eat one meal. I can eat three kilograms of noodles with soup and water!
Even if Yang Guizhi is a woman and smaller, she can't be full with just one bowl, right?
She was smart and knew what was going on. She smiled and picked up the empty bowl with a smile. She put noodles in it and said, "Sister Guizhi, no. I've said it all, don't have any worries at this point. You can eat with confidence, there is no shortage of food and drink in our family."
"I...I'm really full." Yang Guizhi pinched her clothes in embarrassment, with a look on her dark face. There was a hint of blush, but it wasn't very noticeable.
"Haha, eat quickly, Sister Guizhi, you are here to help me with the work. How can you have the strength to work if you are not full?" Chu Heng took the noodle bowl from his wife's hand and put it in front of her.
"This...then I ate it."
Yang Guizhi looked at the fragrant noodles in the bowl, her throat moved uncontrollably, she smiled awkwardly, a little embarrassed He picked up the chopsticks again and took a big bite.
At this moment, she only felt that the noodles were very hot, burning directly from her stomach to her heart.
After Chu Heng's words, Yang Guizhi also completely let go. After eating a bowl of noodles in a few mouthfuls, he ate two large bowls in a row, and even drank the noodles in the basin. After drinking all the soup, she poured some hot water into the basin, drank the oil stars stuck to the basin, and rinsed it twice in succession...
This is really not a waste at all.
When Chu Heng and his wife saw this, they felt funny and sad at the same time.
“Hiccup!”
After drinking the last sip of shabu water with difficulty, Yang Guizhi burped with satisfaction, glanced at Chu Heng who looked tired, and stood up quickly. Said: "I'll go and boil some hot water for you, and you can wash up." Just go to bed quickly. Where is the basin?"
Xiao Ni quickly grabbed her: "Oh, you don't need this, Sister Guizhi, we have water in the house, you can do it yourself. It’s been a tiring day, so go to bed after washing the dishes.”
"Okay, I'm going to wash the dishes."
Yang Guizhi kept in mind the advice of the old man in the village who had worked as a maid, so he turned around and said, He quickly picked up the dishes on the table and walked to the kitchen with cheerful steps.
Immediately, Chu Heng and his wife went back to the house and poured some hot water to wash their faces, brush their teeth, and warm their feet.
“Wow!”
Stepping in front of the bed, Chu Heng squatted on the ground and washed his wife’s feet as usual. Looking at those white and delicate feet, he couldn’t help but It was a pity to live there for a while.
It would be nice to have a pair of red stockings...
"I never dreamed that one day I would have a servant at home." Xiao Ni didn't know what the grandson was thinking, and was chattering. : "Hey, do you think we are capitalists? ? "
"Where are the capitalists? I have no parents, you are pregnant, and there is no one to take care of you. Sister Guizhi is our distant cousin, so it makes sense for you to take care of her, right?" Chu Heng asked. He started and said with a smile: "What's more, Sister Guizhi is here to help." I'm busy and I've missed my work points. Is it reasonable for us to give you some money to compensate?"
"It's reasonable, but I'm... just awkward!" Ni Yinghong frowned and muttered: "Look. Sister Guizhi is working, and I feel a little unhappy. "Hey, by the way, do you have time to go to Tianqiao Department Store with me tomorrow? I want to buy some cloth and make two new sets of clothes for Sister Guizhi so that she can wear the ones I wore. I always feel bad.”
"Just take a rest!"
Chu Heng looked at her with great compassion speechlessly, thought for a moment and said, "Let me tell you a story."
" Tell me." Xiao Ni tilted his head curiously.
Chu Heng lowered his head and continued to wash her feet, mumbling: "Speaking of which, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a chef named Zhang San in the west of the city. After work every day, he would He went home along a fixed route, and then suddenly one day, when he was leaving work, he noticed a beggar on the side of the road. He was half-clothed and skinny. He was covered with frostbite, so he felt pity and gave him two copper coins. The beggar, who had not eaten for a day, immediately became grateful and kowtowed, wishing he could go home and set up a memorial tablet for immortality."
"And. From this day on, whenever Zhang San met a beggar after work, he would give him two copper coins.”
"Just two years later, Zhang San's son was about to get married. The three matchmakers and six hires paid him thirteen dollars at a time, which almost wiped out his savings. So after meeting a beggar again, he had no money. Only one copper was given."
“The beggar looked at the solitary copper in the bowl and was surprised. He hurriedly asked Zhang San: Why are you only given one today? Didn’t you give two in the past?”
“ Zhang San also has a good temper, so just explain to him After explaining the reason, the beggar became furious immediately, waved his hand and gave him a big mouth, asking: Why do you use my money to marry your son?”
Hearing this, Ni Yinghong blinked. In the blink of an eye, I have no idea When he came, he curled his lips and said: "I've been talking for a long time, isn't it just a matter of friendship and hatred? You just say no, why are you talking about it?"
"I'm not afraid that you can't break up the relationship." ." Chu Heng smiled and grabbed her other foot.
"What can't I understand about this? Don't forget that I graduated from high school! You're a junior high school student!" Xiao Ni gave him a light look: "You think I am a fool."
< br>"You are not stupid, but your heart is too kind. "
Chu Heng scratched the soles of her feet with his fingers and said with a smile: "Just listen to me. You can do whatever you want. You have to let Sister Guizhi know what she is doing. If you really can't bear it, just give me some advice every now and then. Some benefits and sweetness can not only satisfy your compassionate heart, but also make her feel grateful, the best of both worlds."
"There are so many clever ideas every day." Xiao Ni rolled her eyes at him and stopped. Say more, then lift up Bai Nen A pair of tender little feet urged: "Okay, don't wash it, it's almost bald, go to bed quickly, I want to be on top today!"
"Oh, the market is going up. Come on!" Chu Heng raised his eyebrows, picked up the basin and walked out.
In the west room on the other side.
Yang Guizhi was already lying on the bed. She touched her round belly and felt that her throat was clogged. She patted the thick cotton cloth covering her body, which was much better than the bed at home made of cotton and straw velvet. The quilt is much warmer.
“Head of the family, you don’t have to worry about me anymore. I have come to the city to enjoy the blessings. I live in a brick house, sleep on a big bed, have a quilt, and have enough food. My days are better than you have ever lived. Things are getting better now.”
“My master gave me two old clothes, not patched at all. Yes, it looks better than what I wore on the day I got married. It’s a pity that my mother is gone, otherwise I would give her one. She has been suffering for most of her life and has never worn a new dress until her death..."
She squinted at the darkness in front of her, murmuring in her mouth, and soon fell asleep with a satisfied look on her face.
