"No, I can do it myself. You can sit here and let's wash together." Yan Jiecheng is not used to women washing men's feet in this era. It would be more comfortable if the relationship at home is equal, and she is not a foot-washing girl who goes to a foot bath.
Li, two people wash themselves in a footbath.
"Stop playing with water, the ground is all wet," Yu Li said.
After the two of them washed their feet, lying on the bed, Yan Jiecheng asked Yu Li: "How is your recovery today?"
"It's not good yet, it still hurts when I move."
"Then just sleep." Yan Jiecheng, who was holding Yu Li, said. He had just eaten meat, and Yan Jiecheng, who was a vegetarian, could only think that he finally had a warm bed and was better than before.
Although there is a saying of returning home in three days, in recent years, new people, new things, and new countries have become more and more important, and many of the rules in the past are no longer strict. Basically, you return to your parents' home on the first weekend after getting married.
Everyone had dinner together in the morning, went to school and worked, but the third aunt was left alone at home.
Now the three aunts have much less to do. They have a sewing machine at home, and they can sew and mend with fine and beautiful stitches. They only need to cook for four people at noon, and they have more time to chat with the neighbor aunts.
"Third aunt, how is your wife? Is she diligent?"
"It's very good. She helps me make breakfast in the morning and also helps me make dinner when I get off work. I am diligent and efficient in my work." The third aunt returned.
"Third aunt, you are really lucky. Now there are only four members of your family making money. Your son and daughter-in-law are also filial. You will enjoy the blessings in the future!"
"Your family is also blessed. The old man, his son, and his daughter have good jobs. When your son gets married, he will also be waiting for a blessed life."
Housewives on the street also talk about courtesy when they talk about it, chatting about the gossip that comes from everywhere. Those with older children talk about their children, and those with younger children talk about their husbands.
Yu Li understands housewives well and knows that a new daughter-in-law will be discussed when she enters the house. She insists on doing housework no matter whether she is at work or feeling unwell. The first impression is the most profound and it is easy for people to preconceptions. The reputation of living in a courtyard is still very important.
Things have a huge impact on work and life.
Widow Qin has a reputation of being filial and capable, so even if she is a vampire and stupid, eating and drinking among men, everyone still thinks that the widow is a good person.
The deaf old lady also knew the importance of reputation, so she boasted eight hundred times about helping the Red Army make straw sandals. How many women in the revolutionary base area at that time, the territory of our party, had not made straw sandals for the Red Army? Rely on this
His reputation and seniority are so great that no one can offend him.
The uncle also worked hard to maintain his reputation, being upright, enthusiastic, and never leaving his infertile wife, in exchange for his status as the talker of the courtyard.
This is still an era that requires collective strength. For example, most of the families in the courtyard where Yan Jiecheng got married also contributed. Promotions in the factory also require understanding of reputation. You can’t just close the door as a family, no matter what.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter are the times when you can live your life.
When Yan Jiecheng came home in the evening, the third aunt relayed the neighbors' comments about Li, saying that the old Yan family had married a good daughter-in-law.
When Li returned home, Yan Jiecheng pulled Yu Li into the house and said, "The neighbors say you are diligent and a good wife. How about it? Are you happy?"
"Really? So I did a pretty good job, and my mother and neighbors all approve of it."
"Of course it's true. The neighbors saw you helping mom cook. It's easy for a new daughter-in-law to attract attention!"
"That's good. Are you tired today at the steel rolling mill?"
"I'm not tired, but I keep thinking about you when I go to work. How are you?" Yan Jiecheng hugged Yu Li and said.
"As you know in our factory, the work is not very tiring."
"Have you missed me at work?" Yan Jiecheng asked, playing with the big granary.
"I miss you too." Yu Li, a new daughter-in-law, still blushes at every turn.
"Did you meet your dad in the factory? What was his attitude like?"
"I was always with my dad during lunch, and his attitude was pretty good. He just asked me if I was comfortable in our house and if I was doing well."
"Then how are you adapting to our family? Are you doing well?"
"It's good. I eat well and sleep well. I just miss my mother." Yu Li's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Don't be impatient. I thought we'd go back to see them over the weekend. If we go back now, we should be laughed at."
"Well, I know, I just can't help but think, fortunately, I'm marrying close by, but what should I do if I'm married far away?"
"As you are married far away, you will gradually get used to it. If you want to go back, we can go back every now and then."
"Xie Cheng, you are so kind to me."
In this era, it is not popular to visit relatives all the time. Life is not easy for everyone. When relatives come, they want good wine and food. Daughters often come back to their parents' homes to enjoy the autumn breeze, or to drag things back to their parents' homes. The cost of visiting is relatively high.
.
"You are my wife. If I am not good to you, I will be good to no one." Yan Jiecheng said and kissed her.
Their lips parted for a long time, Yu Li tidied her clothes and said,
"I still have to help mom cook, let's go out."
"Okay, there are no guests today, it's easy to do, you don't need help." Yan Jiecheng said.
"Mom, what are you going to eat tonight? Eat something nutritious. If there are no eggs or duck eggs, I will buy them." Yan Jiecheng said to the third aunt.
Lao Yan's food is still not good enough. Yan Jiecheng wants to take this opportunity to improve Yan's food so that he can develop a habit in the future.
"Okay, let's not eat mustard dumplings tonight. Let's fry radish and eat salted duck eggs."
The salted duck eggs are very good. They are all salted by Yan Jiecheng himself, and they taste oily. The eggs and duck eggs in Yan Jiecheng's small world can be supplied to the Yan family. I usually bring back a little more, and the salted duck eggs taste good.
It has no taste and is not noticeable. It is suitable for breakfast or dinner.
During dinner, Yan Bugui felt a little distressed when he saw that each person had another salted duck egg. The whole family could see it. It was probably because Yu Li just got married and didn't say anything.
It's not just that Yan Bugui bought it with his money. It's a bit difficult for Yan Bugui to take the initiative to improve his living standard. Yan Jiecheng still needs to talk to Yan Bugui depending on the situation.
After dinner, cleaning up, and resting, Yan Jiecheng found Yan Bugui.
"Dad, should our family's food standard be improved in the future? Our life is better now than before, and we have made money, so we should supplement it."
"This is not how you improve. You don't know how to calculate at all. Just replace it with scrambled eggs. Just fry two and everyone can take two bites to replenish them."
"I bought the eggs and duck eggs without spending any money from you."
