suspected wife

in the kitchen.

After Yue Zhongyao kneaded the noodles, he helped Qiao Mingjin clumsily grab the noodles, knead them into the size of little fingers, and prepared to fry the orchid root.

From time to time, he raised his head and looked at the woman opposite. This was her wife, the wife who gave birth to him.It was supposed to be his closest person, the person who shared the quilt with him, why is he so unfamiliar?

The husband and wife are only separated by a table that is one arm's width away, within reach, why do they feel so far away?

The two could hear their breathing, and Qiao Mingjin could feel the gaze from Yue Zhongyao, but she didn't know what to say, so she just kept silent.

Wan'er looked at her mother, then turned her head to look at her father. She didn't understand that when she was only with her mother, they were lively and lively. With the addition of a father and another person, it was even quieter. up.

"Father, mother, look at the noodles Wan'er made."

Wan'er instinctively felt happy that her father and mother were by her side.

"Stand up, don't fall off the stool."

Wan'er was not high enough for the table, but she liked to join in the fun, so Qiao Mingjin had no choice but to move her a small bench for her to use as a cushion.

"Wow, we Wan'er are really smart, we have rubbed so much." Yue Zhongyao did not hesitate to boast, anyway, in his eyes, whatever his daughter does is good.

He also wanted to make up for the shortcomings of four years.

Qiao Mingjin glanced into her daughter's small basin, pulled it with her hand, and said with a smile: "The fat one is thick and short, and the thin one is thin and long. How can I put it on the altar? The New Year's mother is embarrassed to serve it to her." It’s for the guests to eat. It looks like it’s all for Wan’er to eat. After it’s fried in a while, it looks like it’s going to be specially packed in a jar for Wan’er.”

After hearing what her mother said, the little thing pouted, and looked at her father with teary eyes.

Yue Zhongyao couldn't bear his daughter's grievances, so he hurriedly said: "Your mother is joking with you. How well our Wan'er has done, rubbing it better than Daddy. Who wouldn't praise it when it was served out. If you can't finish eating, you will have a father."

After hearing her father's words, the little thing immediately grinned.The movement was very quick and he grabbed the dough and kneaded it again. Anyway, Dad said that no one would eat it and Dad was there, knead some more and save it.I will feed my father slowly in the future.

Qiao Mingjin cast a glance at the father and daughter, shook his head and smiled.

Yue Zhongyao looked at his wife with a smile on his face, and was stunned there.

The lady became more and more beautiful, and her face became fairer and more tender.She looks better than when she first married him, and she looks more like a mature woman than when she first married, making her even more attractive.

Yue Zhongyao only felt his throat tighten.He swallowed his saliva against his wife's pink lips, which were close at hand.

How long has he been close to his wife?

It's been so long that he has almost forgotten the sweet taste of the lady.

Yue Zhongyao stared at Qiao Mingjin's face foolishly.

Qiao Mingjin frowned calmly.When he found that the other party was still there in a daze, he finally raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yue Zhongyao's face was burning, and he was a little flustered.He hurriedly lowered his head and tried to hold back his expression.

It's fine now, don't scare her, just let him stay by her side.

"It's okay. Is it almost done? Shall I heat the pot?"

Qiao Mingjin looked at the table, and the dough was only about the size of two fists.There are a lot of twisted orchid roots piled up on the table.

He said, "I'll do it." He turned around and prepared to light the fire.

Yue Zhongyao hurriedly leaned over and grabbed Qiao Mingjin's wrist: "Jin Niang, let me do it. Just watch from the side, in case you accidentally get oily."

Before Qiao Mingjin could react, she turned around and went to clean her hands.

Soon, the fire started, and Yue Zhongyao poured oil into the large iron pot that held the water.

During the whole process, Qiao Mingjin's mother and daughter were kept from getting close to the iron pot, for fear that oil stars would splash on the mother and daughter.

Qiao Mingjin didn't want to take his advice away, so she let him go.

Wait for all orchid roots and dough.They are all fried, and there is no rush to clean them up.Just spread it in a grate basket to cool it down.

Yue Zhongyao didn't let Qiao Mingjin do anything about cleaning up the kitchen, and cleaned everything up very quickly.

It wasn't until before dinner that he went into the kitchen again to help Qiao Mingjin put the fried orchid roots into the jar.prepare for dinner.

"Don't your family know you're coming back today?"

It's been a whole day, but no one has come to call him.

Yue Zhongyao glanced at Qiao Mingjin and shook his head.

"No one saw you when you entered the village?"

"No one at home saw me come back."

Qiao Mingjin understood, no wonder.

Yue Zhongyao took a cautious look at Qiao Mingjin, and said eagerly, "Jin, Mother Jin, can I sleep here at night?"

Qiao Mingjin looked up at him in surprise.

Yue Zhongyao's face flared up again, and it burned down to the roots of his ears.

"Ming Qi's house is gone, and this is outside the village. I'm worried that only you, mother and daughter live here. If the charcoal pot goes out at night, I can fill it up for you."

Qiao Mingjin shook her head: "That's not necessary. Wan'er and I have never added a charcoal pot at night. We lit it before going to bed, and the two charcoal pots can burn until morning."

"I...I, I don't worry. The two of you live here, in case something happens..." Yue Zhongyao expressed his meaning in a stuttering manner.

Why can't he live with his wife?The wife is still his wife.

Yue Zhongyao thought of the scene he had seen before. In this kitchen, there was another man talking and laughing with his wife. The smile on his wife's face was like a flower, Chao dazzled his eyes and hurt his heart.

He opened his mouth to ask a question or two, but found that he couldn't open his mouth.

He looked up and saw Qiao Mingjin looking at him like that. There was no trace of warmth in his eyes, which made him feel that there were thousands of mountains between them.

Yue Zhongyao felt pain in his heart.

He really wanted to reach out and touch his wife's smooth and tender face, then hug her tightly in his arms, and whisper his thoughts softly into her ear.Talking that he could not sleep every night, thinking of his wife's soft and fragrant body.

"Jinniang, I'll live in the wing room. Okay? I live alone. I can't let you mother and daughter spend the New Year alone. I, I feel uncomfortable. I'm here to accompany you. I, I don't live in the main room."

After Yue Zhongyao finished speaking with difficulty, he looked at the person in front of him very anxiously.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Jade Emperor, Tathagata Buddha, Ksitigarbha, City God, Land Lord, Stove Lord, who are saving suffering and suffering, please don’t let Jinniang reject me, please, please, please don’t let me go.

Yue Zhongyao really wanted to kneel on the ground with his eyes closed and beg each of these Buddhas one by one.But he didn't want to miss any expression on his wife's face.

Qiao Mingjin looked at him without opening his mouth.

Wan'er heard that her father was no longer the same as before, and left after seeing her.Instead, he wanted to stay here with her, his mouth was almost grinning to the ears.

Seeing her mother's delay in responding, she was in a hurry.

She stepped forward and grabbed the hem of her mother's clothes, shaking it again and again: "Mother, I want daddy. Can you let daddy stay?"

Seeing that her mother only glanced at her and didn't respond, she shook her again.Tears are about to come out: "Mother, mother, can you let dad stay? I want to have both father and mother during the Chinese New Year. Mom, can you let dad stay with Wan'er? Mother, okay?"

Qiao Mingjin glanced down at her daughter, her eyes were watery.He raised his head with a look of grievance, while Yue Zhongyao next to him had a look of anxiety.Also with earnest hope and pleading.

Qiao Mingjin sighed deeply, looked at Yue Zhongyao and said, "You should go home and tell me."

When Yue Zhongyao heard it, it was like rain after a long drought.

Immediately raised the corners of his mouth and nodded like a pounding garlic: "Okay, I will go back and tell them now. You wait for me, I will come to accompany you for dinner later."

As if afraid that Qiao Mingjin would regret it, he left the kitchen in a flash.He quickly opened the courtyard door and disappeared.

"Mother, can Daddy stay here?"

Qiao Mingjin leaned over angrily and poked her daughter's forehead with her finger.He said angrily, "I've raised you for nothing, why are you so close to your father?"

After hearing this, the little thing immediately twisted his body and lay on his stomach. Qiao Mingjin didn't move between his legs.

Yue Zhongyao returned home in a hurry, and Mrs. Wu was preparing dinner with her two daughters-in-law.

Seeing Yue Zhongyao come back, he was stunned: "Third child? Why are you back at this time? Is the yamen on physical leave?"

Everyone heard voices and came out of each room.

Yue Zhongyao hurried into his room, and replied: "Yes, mother, the yamen is on vacation, and I will return to the yamen after the Lantern Festival."

Wu Shi followed in: "Why did you come back empty-handed? Not to mention preparing some new year's goods, where is your luggage?"

Yue Zhongyao packed up two sets of clothes that he usually wears at home, and replied, "Didn't someone bring the money back? Don't you have the new year's goods at home?"

Wu's face twitched, this son would more or less bring something back every time he came back, didn't he even bring back a bag of candy this time?

"Where are you going to pack your clothes?"

"Oh, Jinniang and Wan'er live outside the village, I don't worry, I will live there during the Chinese New Year, and I will come back during the day."

Wu's brows were frowned: "What? Have you lived there for the Chinese New Year? So you've been back long ago and put your luggage there?"

Thinking that her son might have put a bunch of New Year's goods in Qiao Mingjin's place, Wu's heart ached.

Tightly dragging Yue Zhongyao's body as he was about to turn around and go out: "Where do you want to go? Your parents are here. Did you actually go to someone else's house for the Chinese New Year? Is this your filial piety?"

Yue Zhongyao pushed Wu's hand away, and said: "Mother, how are they outsiders? And I just went to live with them, and I came back to help you during the day. You don't know that I am coming back today, and I will come back for dinner." It’s used by Jinniang. I’ll come back tomorrow morning.”

"no!"

Seeing that he couldn't stop Yue Zhongyao, he shouted again: "You can't leave, or let them come back to live."

"Mom! They're used to living outside. I'll bring them back when we have to worship their ancestors at home in two days. I'll ask her to come and help early for the reunion dinner."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lao Yue who was standing at the door, and said, "Father, I'll go then. I'll be back tomorrow morning."

Then he went out in a hurry.

Wu Shi chased to the door and was about to take a step outside when she was dragged back by Lao Yue.

"It's not like he's going somewhere, he's in the village. He just sleeps there at night, can he lose it?"

While talking, he asked his two sons to close the door, and refused to let Mrs. Wu go out.

Under the dark night of winter, I can only hear Wu's shrill scolding... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation .)
