Pan Jinlian's petty bourgeoisie life

Go out and buy jelly beans to eat, don't treat you badly for the New Year's Eve. "

Ying'er thanked happily, and the two watched Chai Wu finish setting off the firecrackers together, Pan Jinlian went to the small room to take out the things she had prepared earlier, and put the ribs and fish in the sun to melt, while she followed Ying'er first. Together, they washed and cut up the vegetables. The sauerkraut, honey roasted pork and fried meatballs in the hot pot were all stacked up. A few prawns were peeled and placed on top. A hen was stewed on the stove. A lot of charcoal was added to the cage, and a big red lantern was hung on a dry branch.Chai Wu watched from the side, and hurriedly said with a smile:

"It's the time when the wind is strong. If you put the lantern here, the yard will be burned tonight. It can be seen that no work has been done. Let me take it down and put it in a place where the porch is sheltered from the wind."

"It's because of ingenuity. I just want to put it here. At worst, I'll take it down at night. I also have to make this tree lively and lively. What are you still standing here for? It's not that you want to go out to entertain someone who just came home from outside. My friend, why don't you leave quickly, so as not to make people think we don't understand reason."

Pan Jinlian rolled her eyes, put her hand in and said coquettishly, she just pushed Chai Wu out of the door, naturally this man who is celebrating Chinese New Year can't let him stay at home, he just blocked the way.Chai Wu had no choice but to shake his head and walk away with a smile. Today he also changed into the brand new clothes he had just made, and even ordered a cape with a fur collar, which seemed a bit extravagant.

As soon as Chai Wu went out of the gate, Pan Jinlian closed the courtyard door, and Ying'er and herself put the fish in the yard to clean it up, marinated it with salt and seasonings, and put it in a basin. Thinking it was Chai Wu who came back again, he hurriedly wiped his hands and shouted with a smile:

"Could it be that I forgot something, I'll come right here."

After opening the door, it turned out to be the girl from Chai Wang's family. She was wearing a beautiful new dress and stood at the door with her arms crossed. When she saw Pan Jinlian, she put on a mournful face and said bluntly:

"Sister-in-law don't want to hide in the yard, our young lady said that sister-in-law's cooking skills are good, and the Chinese New Year is a busy time, so let's go to the kitchen and help the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law cook, and let everyone see sister-in-law's cooking skills .If it’s finished, it’s better to let my sister-in-law go to the kitchen to instruct them how to do it.”

Pan Jinlian was taken aback, seeing the smug look on the girl's face, she knew that she was here to find fault with her.

"You're welcome. I would like to help everyone in the kitchen, but Madam said that her meals should not be left behind. I have to watch here. If the girl really has this kind of thought, she should tell Madam in front of her. Of course I will is willing."

The girl's face sank, and she became even more stern, pointing at Pan Jinlian and cursing:

"Don't be ashamed of those who celebrate the New Year. Our young lady is giving you a step down. If you go there, you will be fine. If you are not obedient, you will look good in the future! Don't forget that although you live in this yard, you are also from the Chai family. People, as long as you are in the Chai family, you must be managed by our young lady, if she wants you to be hungry, no one will dare to bring you food, and if she wants you to freeze, no one will dare to give you charcoal fire!"

It turned out to be a threat, Pan Jinlian smiled slightly:

"This girl who is celebrating Chinese New Year came to me and pointed her nose and scolded me. I have nothing to do with it, but isn't the girl afraid of bad luck in the future? Besides, I don't remember when the accountant managed by the young lady gave us money for meals and charcoal fire. Did the compradors in the kitchen and outside steal it? I saw my wife today, but I would like to say a few words. Although the family is very lenient to the servants, some dared to play tricks in front of the master, but I didn’t see them dare to see the sky in full light. Corrupt."

"You... don't make me feel uncomfortable! Anyway, I have brought this to me. I can't control you whether you like to go or not. Naturally, there are people who can fix you!"

The girl stared, stomped her feet and blushed and shouted, it can be seen that no one has ever suffered this for her.Pan Jinlian understood in her heart that no matter whether she went or not, this person was definitely offended, so she replied with a smile:

"It's not up to the girl whether it is rectified or not. They are all servants in the family. The girl should be careful and worry about the rest of her life. I understand this. The young lady is the housekeeper of the family, and she will be in the future. As a wife, as for me, I am just the daughter-in-law of a concubine's son. If the family is separated, I will naturally move out to live. I have no threat to her, and she, a noble lady, doesn't have to be angry with me. When we meet, we just nod and it's over. , why bother to come so hard? No one looks good when it comes to tearing faces."

After finishing speaking, he closed the door directly, and ignored the girl outside the door again.Seeing that things were not going well, Ying'er hid in the room early, poked her head out, blinked and asked:

"Young lady offended that person. She is the dowry girl in the young lady's room. She is a remarkable person."

"What's the big deal, anyway, it has nothing to do with us, I just want to please her, can she still give me all the master's money? This thing is almost cleaned up, you go out and talk to the little girl in the kitchen Go play, girl, I knew grass had grown in your heart, and the money is still enough, if it is not enough, I will give you more."

Pan Jinlian carried Ying'er out of the room, nodded her forehead with a smile, and cursed softly.Ying'er hurriedly put on a smiling face, repeatedly agreeing:

"It's enough, and there's a lot more. Those little girls in the kitchen are just a reward of ten yuan for the Chinese New Year."

Running away while talking, Pan Jinlian watched her walk away, but waved her hands and shouted:

"Remember to come back early for dinner!"

Hearing her promise from a distance, she turned and went back to the room, and made herself a cup of tea with flowers and plants while sitting down and resting.Her mind was not idle, and after thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't figure out how to give Chai Wang a happy counterattack. She just watched these TV dramas in modern times where women in the big mansion gate have nothing to do with each other. How could this really happen? , so only soldiers come to cover the water and soil.Anyway, as long as the management is good, after a year or so, I will move out with Chai Wu, and naturally I will no longer have anything to do with her.

There were more and more firecrackers outside, and Pan Jinlian hid in the house for half a day. There were no friends or relatives here, and after the new year, there was no one who could talk to her. Only that guy Chai Wu was still outside. .

Just as she was thinking, there was another quick sound at the door. Pan Jinlian just stood up when she saw Chai Wu lowering her head and lifting the curtain, smiling and saying:

"Why is it so quiet, the New Year's Eve people are stunned."

"It just happened to be a rest during the Chinese New Year, why did you come back so early?"

Pan Jinlian greeted him with a smile, smelled the smell of alcohol on his body, and looked at his face was light red, already slightly drunk.Chai Wu hugged her into his arms, helped her to walk a few steps, breathing out alcohol:

"I didn't rush back because I was afraid that you would be lonely at home. I let these boys drink a jar. If I drink any more, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my temper. I have to save my stomach to eat the food you cooked at night. "

"Virtue, the chef in the house can't stop your mouth for the lunch meal. Tell you, I'm not an old woman who cooks and makes the bed for you. Hurry up and lie on the bed for me. Don't walk around, save me. It stinks up my house."

That Chai Wu started to be dishonest after drinking during the day, Pan Jinlian rolled his eyes, helped him to the bed, spread the mattress and pushed him down, Chai Wu was also a strange flower, fell asleep as soon as he got on the bed .It's just that he held Pan Jinlian tightly with both hands, causing her to fall onto the bed. She knocked the back of her head hard, and couldn't help but cursed secretly. Seeing that this person wasn't enjoying herself, she gritted her teeth again. He lightly bit Chai Wu's neck.

"Don't make trouble, we'll have dinner tonight."

Chai Wu turned over while falling asleep, completely wrapped Pan Jinlian in the quilt, and muttered in a low voice.Pan Jinlian tossed a few times, and found that this person had made her fatter, and she couldn't break free, but the quilt was getting tighter and tighter, and she was tied inside like a hemp rope, and she couldn't move her hands. .

"Chinese New Year, Chinese New Year, I'm not angry, I can't be angry..."

While talking, Pan Jinlian made Chai Wu half drunk with the smell of alcohol in his mouth, and even slowly fell asleep.

34 vigil

Pan Jinlian was sleeping soundly, but she only felt something tickle on her face. She squinted her eyes, and Chai Wu was staring at her and smiling at some point, revealing two rows of white teeth, making her face more rosy.

"When did I actually fall asleep? Today is Chinese New Year."

"Well, anyway, it's time for the reunion dinner."

Chai Wu rolled over and got off the bed, and replied with a smile, as if he was about to watch Pan Jinlian's excitement.Pan Jinlian raised her eyes to look outside, but it wasn't that it was already pitch black, but the continuous explosion of firecrackers made her mind clearer.

"No, you didn't throw me on the bed when you were drunk, you are the culprit!"

Slowly recalling the scene just now, Pan Jinlian glared, pointed at Chai Wujiao and reprimanded, this person dared to beat him up and talk about his faults, he really is an unreasonable guy.Chai Wu rolled his eyes, there was no look of depression on his face, but he said with a smile:

"No matter who made the mistake, anyway, there is nothing to eat now, and you, the housewife, must lose face."

As he spoke, he poured tea for himself swaggeringly, sat down on the chair and drank it.Pan Jinlian gave him another gouged look before she packed her clothes and got out of bed:

"At this time, I can also cook a table of meals, Chai Wu, don't underestimate your family.
