Yu Li smiled kindly at them, rolled up her sleeves, turned on the faucet, sprinkled a little bit of washing powder, and started rubbing the clothes.
The aunties washing vegetables by the sink were dumbfounded, and they all whispered to each other:
"That boy Li Weidong is so bad. Yu Li lets people do work before she even comes to the door."
"I think Yu Li must have been deceived. Even if Li Weidong became a driver, his life would not be easy without an elderly person to help him at home."
"It would be a pity for such a good girl to marry Li Weidong."
Xu Damao looked at him and said, "It would be great if Lou Xiao'e was half as diligent as Yu Li."
Silly Zhu squatted next to Yu Li and began to ask about Yu Haitang.
The courtyard house is always crowded with people.
The news that a young daughter-in-law, who had not yet married, braved the cold wind to wash clothes for her husband, soon spread throughout the courtyard through the human loudspeaker.
Zhongyuan Yi Zhonghaijia.
Hearing the information that Auntie had spied on, Yi Zhonghai pinched his eyebrows and said, "What is the plan of this guy Li Weidong? First he sold himself into poverty, and then asked his wife to wash clothes in the cold weather. I don't understand, I don't understand."
"Being poor is not because people like Jia Zhang are afraid that they will get pinkeye." The eldest mother curled her lips and said, "It's just that washing clothes for a young daughter-in-law who has not yet married is really too much."
She thought for a while, but didn't understand, so she got up and went to cook.
In the evening, I will make an extra bowl of noodles and serve them to the deaf old lady.
Yanbu Guijia’s front yard.
Cuihua was going to marry him soon, so Yan Bugui specially added a plate of pickles in the evening.
Yan Jiedi ran back from the backyard. She didn't even bother to wash her hands, so she picked up chopsticks to pick up pickles, but was scolded by Yan Bugui.
“If you pick up pickles before eating, you don’t have to worry about panicking.”
Yan Jiedi rolled her eyes and said: "Stingy, it's because you are so stingy that Sister Yu Li was taken away. At this moment, she is helping Li Weidong wash clothes!"
"It's such a cold day, Yu Li is doing laundry?" Yan Bugui was surprised.
"Well, everyone feels worthless for Sister Yu Li." Yan Jiedi said dissatisfied.
In the past, Yu Li often took her out to play and treated her like her own sister.
"What a wonderful daughter-in-law, you lost her like this!" The third aunt took the opportunity to mutter beside her.
Yan Bugui felt that his throat was choking, so he put down his chopsticks and said, "What's the pity? When Cuihua comes in, let her wash her clothes, but she can't use washing powder."
Jia family.
Jia Zhang got two yuan from Yanbu Gui's family, then went to the vegetable market and bought a pound of meat.
Qin Huairu cooked a meal of meat noodles.
As a child, little Sophora japonica has been waiting in front of the table for a long time, with her little face raised, obediently waiting to eat noodles.
However, Qin Huairu didn't serve them any food because Banggeng went out into the wild and hadn't come back yet.
When Qin Huairu went to find Banggan, she happened to see Yu Li washing clothes, and she felt inexplicable at that time.
When I got home, I wanted to tell Mrs. Jia Zhang, but there was no sign of Mrs. Jia Zhang in the hall.
Opening the curtain of the back room, I saw Jia Zhang holding a bowl and eating happily.
The bowl was filled with slices of meat, and her cheeks were bulging.
After being caught, Mrs. Jia Zhang said calmly: "I'm afraid the children will have diarrhea after eating it, so I want to taste it first to see if it's cooked."
"..."
Qin Huairu pretended to be convinced and said with a smile: "You still love them."
"That's it, especially the stick stems. They are the only seedlings of our old Jia family. They are already thin, but we can't eat them anymore." Jia Zhang said hard, but still felt a little guilty, and he poured the meat slices into the pot.
inside.
Qin Huairu stirred the soup pot with a spoon, and while serving rice, she told Jia Zhang what she had just seen.
Jia Zhang's face suddenly dropped: "If you didn't take action in 1929, how can you wash clothes now? I think Yu Li is also a scheming girl. It is probably her intention that the Li family does not hold a wedding banquet."
"Didn't Li Weidong say that his family didn't have any money, so he didn't hold a banquet?"
"Hmph, you believe that. Aren't you afraid that we will steal food from the banquet?"
Qin Huairu remained silent. Every time Jia Zhang went to a banquet, she would bring a large enamel basin with her.
She confiscated the food as soon as it was brought to the table. Who can bear this!
——She wanted to persuade her, but she also felt that it was normal for her family to have many children and a difficult life, so she ordered food instead.
Jia Zhang sneered and said: "Don't worry, we can't eat Li Weidong's food, we can eat Yanbu Gui's food. When the time comes, I will be the matchmaker, so I will naturally sit in the front seat and see who dares to stop me from cooking. This
This time our whole family will go, and you should also bring a washbasin. In winter, vegetables don’t go bad, so we have two enamel basins dedicated to picking up meat and vegetables, which is enough for our family to eat for half a month."
Qin Huairu: "..."
The backyard of Xu Damao's house.
When Xu Damao returned to the backyard, he happened to see Li Weidong sitting in a warm room, drinking tea from an enamel jar and reading a book, very leisurely.
I'm so jealous in my heart, how could such a good woman like Yu Li marry you?
In the past, Damao thought that he was the man who was best at marrying a wife in the compound.
My father-in-law's family is rich and powerful.
However, when compared with Li Weidong, he felt inferior.
When he married Lou Xiao'e, he spent a total of 60 yuan in bride price.
Money is secondary, but the most important thing is that he has to pretend to be a grandson at home all day long.
That is to say, the trend in the past two years has been wrong and Mr. Lou has stopped jumping around, so he dared to gasp in front of Lou Xiao'e.
Look at Li Weidong, Lao Yu's family is also a prestigious one, so they don't need betrothal gifts.
Yu Li, a pretty girl, was doing the laundry, while Li Weidong, a man, hid in the house drinking tea.
Is this still a man?
Xu Damao felt that Li Weidong's position should be given to him.
When I entered the house and saw Lou Xiao'e still sleeping on the bed, I became very angry.
Lou Xiao'e shouted to Lou Xiao'e, "Look at Li Weidong's wife, she is washing clothes outside in the cold weather."
Lou Xiao'e looked confused.
His dirty clothes were secretly taken back to Lou's house and asked by Zhang Ma to wash them.
Besides, what does it have to do with Yu Li washing clothes and Lou Xiao'e?
"It's simply inexplicable and unreasonable!"
"Am I confused? Am I being unreasonable?" Xu Damao's eyes widened.
Lou Xiao'e knew that Xu Damao was a petty person, so she didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and went to sleep again.
Xu Damao was so angry that he pinched Lou Xiao'e's waist hard.
"I only know how to bully women when I go home!" Lou Xiao'e jumped up from the bed in pain and started fighting with Xu Damao.
Lou Xiao'e is actually a fierce little tiger, and of course she is no match for Xu Damao.
Every time Xu Damao goes to the countryside to show movies, he has to carry more than 200 kilograms of projection equipment, so he is naturally very strong.
However, Xu Damao was afraid that the Lou family would cause trouble, so he did not dare to be cruel. After a while, he received several scratches on his face.
...
The instigator, Li Weidong, was holding Yu Li's cold little hand.
"It's so cold, let me warm you up."
"Yeah." Yu Li felt warm in her heart. She raised her smooth and white chin and hummed: "How about I come and help you wash your clothes every day from now on?"
"How can I bear to do it when it's so cold? Let's do this. I'll fold the clothes and put them on the bedside. You can wash them at noon to keep them warm."
"...."
While talking, the two held hands and sat down side by side on the bed.
In the warm cabin, the air is singing and dancing, and the time is particularly beautiful.
Yu Li seemed to have thought of something, and said softly: "I have learned new needlework techniques in the past two days, and I will embroider a pair of shoe mats for you in two days. Also, that girl Yu Haitang seems to have a conflict with Yang Weimin...
.”
Li Weidong took Yu Li's little hand and played with it carefully, echoing and nodding from time to time.
Slowly, that uncontrollable big hand began to become dishonest and wanted to explore a beautiful new world.
Yu Li blocked it timidly: "No, no~"
Li Weidong spent a long time trying, but at most he could only hold his arms around the girl's slender waist, and he was not allowed to touch any other parts of her body.
But feeling the wonderful curves and elasticity makes me satisfied.
The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be widened step by step. Don't be impatient.
