After confirming that Tao Mingming's fate had been changed because of Zhao Jie's intervention, Jian Yuelan stopped paying too much attention to her affairs and concentrated on living her own life.
One night half a month later, Ye Linxing was preparing dinner in the kitchen after returning home from get off work.
Jian Yuelan sat on a chair and ate dried fruit while scanning his body like a searchlight.
His broad shoulders, strong and lean waist, and straight hips revealed smooth muscle lines when he moved around with his arms. Sweat flowed down the muscle texture, which made her unconsciously think of how beastly this man was at certain times.
She clicked her tongue, "Old Ye, has anyone ever told you that you are beautiful?"
Also sexy.
It made her fantasize about making him into sauce.
However, looking at her belly, she could only think about it.
Someone who was waving a spatula to make spicy shrimps for her turned pale, and had the urge to go straight to Tianling Gai.
He took a deep breath and calmed down. He must calm down. His wife likes to talk nonsense for more than a day or two. She must calm down!
This is an ancestor who cannot be beaten or scolded, but must be held in good hands.
"Thank you for the compliment, you are beautiful too."
Jian Yuelan felt that he knew how to reciprocate, so as a reward she smiled and said, "Old Ye, I want to buy a camera."
Ye Linxing raised his eyebrows, took the spicy shrimp out of the pot, put them on a plate, and placed them on the table behind her.
“Why buy a camera?”
"Take a picture of you."
Jian Yuelan hooked her fingers and motioned for him to come over.
The man leaned forward and put his ear to her mouth, and heard her say, "The kind that is half-covered and half-exposed."
Ye Linxing lowered his eyes to look at her. Seeing the expectant look on the little woman's face, he didn't know what to say.
He also said that Zhou Qingqing and Yu Shengli played crazy, and his wife was actually not much better.
Take that kind of photo...
He pinched his hot earlobes and said hoarsely, "Okay, I'll ask someone where they can buy cameras."
As soon as these words came out, Jian Yuelan deflated like a popped balloon. She forgot that in this era, cameras were a more luxurious luxury product than watches.
Photo studios in every city are state-owned.
It is difficult to purchase a camera through private channels.
Thinking of this, she asked, "Is there a way?"
"have no idea."
Ye Linxing never made promises about things he couldn't do. He said seriously, "I can only say that I will try my best and buy you one if I can."
There's nothing you can do if you can't buy him.
Jian Yuelan hummed, that was enough.
"Eat, I'm starving."
Ye Linxing immediately put a bowl of rice for her and put a spicy shrimp into her bowl.
"Taste it to see if it's what you want."
Three months after she was pregnant, Jian Yuelan's taste changed. She became hungry even more quickly after craving sweet and spicy food.
Seeing the shiny red spicy shrimp in the bowl, she swallowed and started eating without saying a word.
Then--
"tasty."
“It’s delicious, but don’t eat too much, as it can easily cause you to get angry.”
Ye Linxing didn't dare to let her eat and drink as much as she wanted. The weather on the island was hot, and she was already pregnant with a bit of internal fire. She was the one who really felt uncomfortable after eating a plate of shrimps.
So, in the end, Jian Yuelan had been thinking about the spicy shrimps all night, but only ten of them actually fell into her mouth.
Even so, she felt satisfied.
As long as you get over the addiction, you still have to pay attention to what you should pay attention to, otherwise she will be the one who suffers.
She could tell what was light and what was serious.
After eating and drinking, she took a cup of mint tea and drank it slowly. Ye Linxing was busy clearing the table and cleaning the dishes, and the sweat on his body felt like rain.
After everything was done, he sat next to Jian Yuelan and took a sip of water from her hand. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a consultative tone, "Daughter-in-law, can you give me five yuan tomorrow?"
“Get it yourself from the usual place.”
As she said that, she asked curiously, "What do you want five yuan for?"
"Zhao Jie is getting married next week, and we have to give him gifts."
She groaned, remembering what happened between Yu Shengli and Zhou Qingqing, and couldn't help complaining, "It's also a second marriage, and Yu Shengli couldn't even bear to have a wedding banquet with Zhou Qingqing."
It seems that Zhao Jie is still interested.
At this time, Zhou Qingqing had the same idea as her. When she learned that Yu Shengli was going to give a gift of five yuan to celebrate Zhao Jie and Tao Mingming's wedding, she felt like she was dying. She felt extremely wronged, but she didn't dare to show it.
He forced a smile and said warmly, "Five yuan, isn't it a bit much?"
I had resentment in my heart, and my tone inevitably brought it out.
Yu Shengli was very sharp and heard the resentment in her words.
He changed his mind and rubbed his brows pretending to be helpless, "It's a bit much, and I'm actually quite reluctant to part with it, but I can't do this because this amount was discussed with Lao Bai and the others."
"You can't just agree to five yuan with them here, and then I'll give you two or three yuan. Wife, do you think this is appropriate?"
He said it all for this reason, what can Zhou Qingqing do?
I could only follow his words and say, "It's really inappropriate."
But she really couldn't bear to part with it. Five yuan was enough for her to buy a new dress.
She took a deep breath and told herself to be calm and gentle.
"When are you going? Is it now? I'll go with you."
"No, just give it to me tomorrow."
Seeing that she was so knowledgeable, Yu Shengli smiled slightly, picked up a shrimp and put it in her bowl, "You like shrimp, eat more."
"Do you want me to peel the shell for you?" His eyes were fond and his tone was gentle.
Zhou Qingqing, who was blushing and heartbeating at the sight of his eyes, immediately forgot about any grievances and Jiao Didi said yes.
"Okay, peel the shrimp for us."
Her soft tone, like coaxing a child, made the corners of Zhou Qingqing's mouth curl up uncontrollably.
Decided to talk to him about the wedding banquet tonight.
It was also a second marriage, so there was no reason why Tao Mingming could have a wedding banquet but she couldn't.
She is no worse than Tao Mingming.
Then, she thought she could achieve her wish but was rejected.
She thought that the man who loved her and doted on her not only rejected her wish to hold a wedding banquet, but also reasoned with her and said that they were an old couple and they could not commit such a formality.
This is extravagance and waste and a manifestation of incorrect thinking.
Zhou Qingqing couldn't understand why she just wanted a wedding banquet and had incorrect ideas.
She was so angry and aggrieved that she couldn't help but argue with Yu Shengli for a few words.
As a result, the man was determined not to coax her to go along with her, but instead started to educate her ideologically.
Zhou Qingqing couldn't stand it any longer, and she started arguing with him. The two of them got into an argument, and the relationship between husband and wife dropped to a freezing point and entered a cold war mode.
The two of them are usually quite clingy, but now anyone with eyes can see it when they shudder.
Seeing Zhou Qingqing's dark face with Yu Qing and Zheng Wan passing by the door, the desire for gossip came again, and she said softly, "Tell me, did the Yu family have a quarrel?"
"have no idea."
Jian Yuelan was not very interested in the couple's affairs. The gap between the real person and the paper person was too big to attract her, let alone whether the young couple had a quarrel or not.
She cut off the thread and handed the small clothes to Zheng Wan, "Let's see how it goes."
Zheng Wan took it and looked at it carefully, then gave her a thumbs up with satisfaction.
"very good."
She said happily, "With this dress, I don't have to worry about my baby's belly catching a cold after he is born."
Sister-in-law Bai, who provided the sewing machine, twitched the corner of her mouth and reminded, "Then you can't do one, you need at least two to change."
"There is no more cloth now. When there is some cloth, come back to Xiao Jian to make the next one."
Zheng Wan was confident and confident, but Jian Yuelan couldn't laugh or cry, "Emotionally, you treat me like a tailor."
"Absolutely not."
Zheng Wan has a sense of propriety and knows that Jian Yuelan helps her out of love and not out of her duty. Now, if people are willing to help her, she has to be grateful instead of giving nothing as a matter of course.
She smiled and said, "I'll ask Lao Qian to come over and dig potatoes for you tomorrow and plow the ground by the way."
"Okay."
Jian Yuelan did not refuse. Things like favors come and go. No one is a fool. They only care about giving without thinking about gain.
It happened that her old man Ye had gone to sea, and it was unknown when he would come back, but there was no way he could continue to wait for the potatoes in the field. She had a big belly and it was difficult to bend down. It would be nice to have old money to help dig them.
So the next night, Lao Qian came over with a shovel to help dig the potatoes.
Bai Yelu Changsheng and others from next door came over to help when they saw it. They didn't plant much, just one piece of land. It took a few grown men to get started together and finish it all in less than half an hour.
"Brothers and sisters, do you want to plant these at once?"
Bai Ye asked, pointing to the small seedlings in the vegetable field.
Jian Yuelan hummed, "Yes."
Then, several men helped her to plant the seedlings and water them once before saying goodbye and leaving.
Time flies and the day of Zhao Jie and Tao Mingming’s wedding arrives.
Ye Linxing is not here, so Jian Yuelan has to attend the wedding on his behalf.
You have to give gifts.
This gift is not a gift, but something like a pillow towel, an enamel jar, or a hot water bottle.
Jian Yuelan gave her a pair of bright red pillowcases, and Chen Qiuju was generous and gave her a porcelain basin.
"How do you send this?"
Ordinarily, the relationship cannot be said to be close, it just depends on what you mean.
You must know that in this era, porcelain basins, kettles, porcelain jars and other items are included in the big items. Unless you are close to the family and the family is in good condition, you will not give this as a gift.
Chen Qiuju laughed, "You forgot, she cured my Dundun before."
Jian Yuelan suddenly realized, "That must be given away."
Dundun, the second eldest son of Chen Qiuju's family, had an illness, which was cured by Tao Mingming.
It was then that everyone realized that this girl was not only good at nursing, but also good at pediatrics.
Then, people with children in the family area began to befriend her, and now Tao Mingming's popularity in the family area is one of the best.
This also led to Jian Yuelan and the others meeting a bunch of family members who came to give gifts.
If the condition is good, we will give you socks, gloves, and two feet of cloth. If the condition is poor, we will also give you a few eggs, sea duck eggs, or a bowl of cornmeal.
But the most bizarre ones are Xiao Xiaocao and Zhou Qingqing.
Xiao Xiaocao gave two half-dead octopuses, and Zhou Qingqing gave kelp.
The freshly caught kelp is not only wet and dripping, but also exudes a strong smell of sea.
When this man came in carrying kelp, the lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at her.
Seeing her expressionless face, she brought the kelp to the smiling Tao Mingming and said——
