Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 450

"No, you don't need that much, Mom Erqing, I'll just borrow some, as long as I can deal with it tonight!"

When He Wenhui saw the small half bag of rice, he hurriedly waved his hands and declined.

"Oh! Why are you being polite to me! Hold it!"

Erqing's mother stared, and directly stuffed the rice bag into He Wenhui's hand, as if she would look down on her if she didn't take it.

"That's all right! Thank you Erqing's mother!"

He Wenhui hesitated, nodded and smiled.

"Hey, that's right! We are all neighbors in the neighborhood. If you have any difficulties in the future, just ask, and I will definitely help if I can."

Erqing's mother said with a satisfied smile.

"Well, then I'll go back and cook first, and I'll return it to you when I come back from buying rice!"

He Wenhui nodded in agreement, and without wasting any more time, she hastily bid farewell, and wanted to go home and cook for her younger siblings, so that they would not be hungry after arguing.

"No hurry, no hurry, you can return anytime!"

Erqing's mother waved her hands and smiled, then sent He Wenhui out of the house with enthusiasm, and watched her return to He's kitchen, her heart was full of anticipation for the braised pork.

Soon, He Wenhui washed the rice and put it in the pot to boil, and then brought some potatoes to make vinegar potato shreds.

In addition, there are no other dishes to cook at home.

At the same time, He Wentao and He Wenda watched He Wenyuan showing off his flute in the room with expressions of resentment.

"Look, it's beautiful! In our school, no one has a better flute than mine."

He Wenyuan handed the flute to them with a smug face and said with a smile.

"Humph!"

He Wentao and He Wenda snorted at the same time, turned their heads and sulked.

"Tch! If you don't watch it, don't watch it, I'm not willing to show you guys!"

He Wenyuan curled his mouth and said with some displeasure.

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked into the back room, took out a rag, and wiped the flute with a baby face.

After a while, He Wenhui finished cooking and brought them into the room. As soon as she came in, she saw He Wentao and He Wenda sitting there with dark faces. She frowned and asked with some doubts: "What's wrong with you?"

As she said that, following the gazes of He Wentao and He Wenda, she turned her head and looked into the back room, and saw the flute in He Wenyuan's hand, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

Afterwards, she hurriedly explained with a smile: "Your second sister is a school teacher who recommended her to go to the Children's Palace to learn flute, so your brother-in-law bought her a flute with the money."

As soon as the words fell, He Wenda said with some displeasure: "Sister, I want to buy a puppy. Without a puppy to play with me, I'm almost bored to death."

"Sister, I want to buy football too!"

He Wentao heard what He Wenda said, and hurriedly followed suit.

He Wenhui looked at their eager faces, and his lips twitched, not knowing how to say no.

After thinking for a while, she could only temporarily shirk and said, "Sister has no money with me now, I will discuss it with your brother-in-law when he comes back."

"Oh!"

When He Wenda and He Wentao heard this, their little faces drooped immediately.

"Come on, let's eat first!"

Seeing this, He Wenhui could only squeeze out a smile, and greeted them to eat.

As she spoke, she did not forget to turn her head to Yu Qiuhua and He Wenyuan and shout, "Mom, Wenyuan, it's time to eat."

"Oh! It's coming!"

He Wenyuan agreed, and then stuffed the flute into the quilt on his bed with a baby face, and then went out to prepare for dinner.

However, she walked to the dining table and saw that there was only a plate of vinegared potatoes and a small plate of pickles on the table, and a look of disgust appeared on her face.

"Sister, why are there only potatoes? Where's brother-in-law? Why didn't he come back?"

"Your brother-in-law had to go on a business trip at his unit and didn't come back!"

He Wenhui replied casually while supporting Yu Qiuhua to sit down.

"Really, if he doesn't come back, doesn't he know to ask you to bring back something delicious? I feel a little disgusted when I see potatoes."

He Wenyuan sat down on the chair and complained a little bit angrily.

He Wenhui frowned and glanced at He Wenyuan, feeling a little angry in her heart.

She wondered if it was because He Wenyuan didn't want to use money to learn the flute, and now she didn't want to eat potatoes, and she didn't have to be cheeky to borrow rice from Erqing's mother.

When Yu Qiuhua heard the conversation between the two sisters, her expression suddenly became a little dignified, and then she reprimanded in a deep voice: "Wen Yuan, what are you talking about? That's your brother-in-law. He has been working outside for our family. It's hard enough, you can't stop talking nonsense."

After finishing speaking, she hesitated a little, and asked in a low voice, "Wen Hui, is Hong Chang really on a business trip?"

"Well! Mom, let's eat first!"

He Wenhui nodded softly and replied.

Yu Qiuhua couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and then sighed secretly in her heart.

She knew what He Wenhui meant, and also understood that Liu Hongchang was not really on a business trip.

However, she didn't know what to do with these things.

If you really want to force Liu Hongchang not to raise women outside, it will only make things worse.

The best way now is to wait for He Wenhui to become pregnant with Liu Hongchang's child, and then slowly let Liu Hongchang take his heart back.

Seeing that Yu Qiuhua was angry, He Wenyuan didn't dare to continue complaining, so he could only spread his resentment on the bowls and chopsticks, grabbing the chopsticks vigorously and pushing the rice into his mouth.

However, she just took a few mouthfuls, and she couldn't swallow it anymore.

As the saying goes, it is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality.

During this period of time, she often ate delicacies made by Liu Hongchang, and she had already spoiled her mouth unconsciously, how could she still be able to eat these simple meals.

Moreover, because of He Wenhui's vulgar cooking skills, the dish of vinegared potato shreds in front of her is even worse than a simple meal. She couldn't eat it when she didn't have a good life before, let alone now.

At the same time, across from her, He Wenda and He Wentao were also picking rice grains one by one, both of them looked sad, obviously they also felt that the food was a bit hard to swallow.

Seeing their appearance, He Wenhui couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you eat?"

"Sister, the food you cook is terrible!"

He Wenyuan curled his mouth and complained directly.

"Yes! Potatoes are too bad to eat, I can't eat them!"

He Wenda also echoed when he heard the words.

Although He Wentao didn't speak, the look of disgust on his face showed his attitude.

He Wenhui looked at them with some embarrassment, not knowing what to say for a while.

"boom!"

At this time, Yu Qiuhua slapped the bowl on the table, and then reprimanded angrily: "Where are you talking so much nonsense? If you want to eat, you can eat, if you don't eat, you can go down! Your eldest sister has worked hard all day , I have to cook for you when I get home, is it easy for her?"

"Mom, don't be angry, they didn't mean it, it's because I'm not good at cooking."

Seeing this, He Wenhui hurriedly spoke up to help his younger siblings, for fear that Yu Qiuhua would become angry.

"Shut up! You're not used to it."

Yu Qiuhua reprimanded a little angrily, and then didn't continue to get angry, and slowly picked up the rice bowl and started eating again.

Although she can't see now, but because she can't see, it is easier to understand some things, just like the matter of Liu Hongchang raising a woman outside, if she is not blind, it is impossible for her to acquiesce so easily.

She knew that their family could no longer endure any setbacks, and she only wanted to bring up the children safely, only in this way would she have the face to see her long-dead husband in the future.

For this reason, she can only wrong He Wenhui, the eldest daughter, who made her mother incapable!

Ugh!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Seeing Yu Qiuhua's gloomy expression, the brothers and sisters of the He family didn't dare to continue to make trouble. They forced themselves to finish the rice in the bowl, and then hurried out to Erqing's mother's house. Watch TV.

"Hey"

He Wenhui saw that He Wenyuan ran away after eating, moved his lips, and wanted He Wenyuan to clean up the dishes, but after thinking about it, he felt that Liu Hongchang was not at home now, so he didn't say anything.

After all, she still couldn't bear to watch her brothers and sisters suffer.

While she was busy helping He Wenyuan clean up the dishes, Liu Hongchang was lying comfortably on the Taishi chair in the new house, watching Yang Maixiang clean up the dishes.

"I told you not to cook so many dishes, but you didn't listen. Now there are so many dishes left, they are all wasted!"

While cleaning up, Yang Maixiang looked at the half pot of stewed chicken with mushrooms and the big pot of meat on the table, and couldn't help complaining.

"What a waste! You can put these dishes in the refrigerator in the kitchen later, and you can take them out and heat them up tomorrow."

Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

"Refrigerator? Where did you buy a refrigerator? Why didn't I see it?"

Yang Maixiang was taken aback for a moment, and then asked in surprise.

You know, in these years, a refrigerator is a very rare home appliance, let alone in the small city of Ningzhou, even in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, it is not something that ordinary families can afford.

"Oh! You don't care where I bought it. Anyway, I didn't steal it to grab it. You can just use it at ease. When I come back with a color TV someday, you can watch TV at home."

Liu Hongchang frowned, said with a chuckle and waved his hands.

"Okay, okay, I don't ask, okay! Anyway, I'm yours now, marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, if you are really caught in, then I'll wait for you at home."

Yang Maixiang rolled her eyes and said angrily.

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked out with the plate, wanting to see what Liu Hongchang said about the refrigerator.

Liu Hongchang smiled slightly, and looked at Yang Maixiang's back with admiration.

Although Yang Maixiang is not as good-looking as He Wenhui, since ancient times, there has been a saying that marrying a wife is a virtuous one, and a virtuous and sensible woman like Yang Maixiang is suitable to marry as a wife.

If he hadn't already identified Li Xiuzhi as his wife in his heart, I'm afraid he would have wanted to stay in this film and television world and live a good life with Yang Maixiang.

Soon, Yang Maixiang cleaned up the dishes, and then boiled hot water in the kitchen.

Generally speaking, they take a bath once or twice a week. Some of them have a difficult life. In order to save some coal, they don’t even take a bath many times from the beginning to the end of the year. They usually use hot water to scrub. Just take a look at your body.

However, since Liu Hongchang told her to take a bath every day, she has remembered it very carefully. No matter whether Liu Hongchang is there or not, she will boil some hot water to take a bath, which shows how much she attaches importance to Liu Hongchang. care.

Not long after, Liu Hongchang and Yang Maixiang took turns to take a bath, and then sat in the living room chatting about some family gossip, as if they were a couple who had been married for many years.

While talking, Yang Maixiang suddenly asked hesitantly: "Hong Chang, do you think I should buy something to visit our mother at home?"

In her opinion, although she and Liu Hongchang did not obtain a marriage certificate, they were actually the daughter-in-law of the old Liu's family. No matter what, she should do some filial piety.

"Oh! You can go if you want! Anyway, my mother has always regarded you as her daughter-in-law before, so you can go and chat with her when you have time, so as to save her from thinking about holding grandchildren all day long."

Liu Hongchang chuckled, nodded and said.

"Well! Then I will go and accompany her to relieve boredom when I have time."

Yang Maixiang felt relieved when she heard the words, and hurriedly smiled and nodded in agreement.

At the same time, she thought that Liu Hongchang and He Wenhui were not pregnant yet, and she couldn't help but feel a little bit cautious.

If she can be ahead of He Wenhui and give birth to Liu Hongchang, will she have a chance to become a regular?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help looking at Liu Hongchang with a trace of heat in her eyes, and then said a little shyly: "Well, it's getting late now, why don't we go into the room to sleep!"

Liu Hongchang frowned, glanced at the pendulum clock on the wall, and realized that it was only less than eight o'clock in the evening, and felt a little funny in his heart.

However, he did not refuse the proposal, he stood up directly, picked up Yang Maixiang by the waist, and walked into the room.

Not long after, a moving tune sounded in the room, which made people feel a little fascinated.

In a blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Liu Hongchang got up early and made a loving breakfast to supplement Yang Maixiang's nutrition, and then the two of them stuck together in the room for a while before going out to work.

In this way, in the next few days, Liu Hongchang seemed to have forgotten the old He family and He Wenhui, a cheap wife. Apart from going to work in the second state-run canteen, he was living a shameless life with Yang Maixiang in the new house. day.

Moreover, because they lived alone, and because they consciously staggered their time of entry and exit, they never aroused the suspicion of neighbors in the neighborhood.

On this day, Liu Hongchang was preparing to go home from get off work to cook some authentic Cantonese dishes for Yang Maixiang, but just as he walked to the door, he bumped into He Wentao and Er Qing.

"Brother-in-law!"

"Brother-in-law!"

When He Wentao and Erqing saw Liu Hongchang, they hurriedly shouted enthusiastically.

Liu Hongchang frowned, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"Brother-in-law, my eldest sister asked us to come and find you, and told you to go home and discuss something."

He Wentao hurriedly opened his mouth and replied when he heard the words.

"Did she say something?"

Liu Hongchang frowned, and asked with some doubts.

"No! However, I saw that my eldest sister received a letter this morning. It seems that it was written to her by her former classmate Li Jianbin. I don't know if it is because of this."

He Wentao shook his head, and said somewhat uncertainly.

"Okay, then I'll go back after finishing my work, you guys go back first!"

Liu Hongchang fixed his eyes, nodded and smiled.

Soon, He Wentao and Er Qing turned around and ran away.

Liu Hongchang stood there pondering for a while, then rode his bicycle to the new house, talked to Yang Maixiang, and then rode his bicycle towards He's house.
