I have 1 after wearing the chronology
Chapter 41
"What's going on?" Seeing Zhou Mei angry, Chen Qianjin patted her on the back reassuringly. It's not worth being angry at an outsider.
"Wang Xia has taken a fancy to our Liu'er!" Zhou Mei was full of complaints, "Why did I think she was so affectionate, so it was because of her intentions."
It's a good thing to say that Chen Wan has a girl who likes her, but the premise is not to be as shameless as Wang Xia.
Think about what kind of life Wang Cui is living next door. With an in-law like the Wang family, will he be able to live a peaceful life in the future?
Regardless of family factors, Wang Xia herself is not worthy of Chen Wan regardless of her appearance, personality or knowledge.
Zhou Mei couldn't figure it out after much deliberation. There were many girls with better conditions than her waiting to marry Chen Wan. Where did Wang Xia get the confidence that she and Chen Wan could make things happen?
Can't figure it out Zhou Mei simply didn't want to think about it, everyone just thought this was an insignificant episode and there would be no follow-up.
With the danger lifted, Chen Yongyang went out to play in peace.Xu Kongshan sat on the edge of the bed dejectedly, Chen Wan couldn't help being a little surprised: "Brother Shan, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Kongshan raised his head, his eyes reminded Chen Wan of a wronged beast: "I am more than four years older than you."
It turned out that I heard Zhou Mei's sentence "Chen Wan doesn't like old people".
Chen Wan couldn't help laughing, and grabbed his finger: "Yes, I don't like older people."
Xu Kongshan's complexion changed, and then he heard the second part of Chen Wan's sentence: "I like you."
I like you regardless of gender or age.
Xu Kongshan turned from worry to joy: "Liu'er, I like you too."
Chen Wan didn't expect Xu Kongshan to respond like this, he excitedly kissed Xu Kongshan's face, the joy in his heart was beyond words.
The Wang family next door had dinner and left. After Wang Cui cleaned up the mess in the house, she untied her apron and hurried over to find Zhou Mei.
"Sister Damei, what happened just now? I heard you talking, but I couldn't get away for a while." What Wang Cui didn't say was that she looked at Wang Xia's face, as if she was planning some bad idea.
"It's not a big deal. Your sister asked Chen Wan to help him make a dress. Chen Wan said she didn't have time. She didn't believe me, so I broke up with her." Zhou Mei finally saved Wang Xia's face and didn't say that she went to Get close to those words.
"She asks Chen Wan to help make clothes? It's a lie, she's only wearing new clothes, how can my mother have the money to make her a second one?"
Wang Cui is well aware of the family background of the Wang family. Her two younger brothers are idle all day long, and everyone is counting on the old couple to work in the fields. It would be nice to be able to make upper body clothes all year round. Wang Xia wants to make two clothes by herself, which is almost a dream.
Sure enough, it was an excuse, Zhou Mei did not wrong anyone at all.
"I don't think she really wants to make clothes. I guess she heard someone talk about Chen Wan's craftsmanship, so she came here on purpose to see something strange." Seeing that the third son of He sent out the relatives of the He family, Zhou Mei turned to ask Wang Xia, "Your mother and the others packed up all the leftovers again?"
The Wang family would come here every year, and they would start pretending to be leftovers after eating. The relatives of the He family couldn't see the bandit-like behavior, and Mrs. Wang opened her mouth to curse people after saying a few words.The He family is not good because Mrs. Wang has cut off contact with Mr. He, so even if they are from the same village, they only eat one meal at noon.
Under normal circumstances, the reunion dinner includes two meals at noon and evening, and the evening meal is basically the leftovers at noon.The Wang family had a disc, so naturally there were no leftovers for the evening.
"Isn't it? The plate looks like it's been licked, and it saved me a lot of effort in washing the dishes." Wang Cui sneered, "My mother even told me that I don't have to go back on the second day of junior high school. I really want to go back."
Wang Cui smiled as she said, she couldn't wish for more.
"Hey, Miss Damei." Wang Cui lowered her voice, "Chen Wan really doesn't have time to make clothes?"
Her question and hesitant expression made Zhou Mei seem to guess something: "Why, do you want to make clothes?"
Being caught by Zhou Mei, Wang Cui was a little embarrassed, but more relaxed: "That's right, Sister Damei, let me tell you the truth, every time I see someone come to Chen Wan with materials to make clothes, I don't worry too much about it." Envious."
When Wang Cui and He Laosan got married, they owed a lot of foreign debts. Later, when the He family split up, they went out to repair the house and drew another bill. Over the years, the couple finally paid off the money.
Who doesn't want to have a new dress for the New Year, Wang Cui is still wearing the clothes she bought when she got married, if she didn't cherish it enough on weekdays, she would have died long ago and couldn't wear it.
So this year, with extra money in hand, Wang Cui was finally willing to make a new dress for herself.
The reason why it was delayed until the end of the year was to avoid the Wang family.
In fact, Chen Wan didn't have so much work on hand that he couldn't spare time to take on new business, that was just an excuse to reject Wang Xia.
"It's free, have you bought the material? If you do, go and get it." Zhou Mei agreed on Chen Wan's behalf, and Wang Cui happily went back to get the material for the bottom of the box.
What Wang Cui asked Chen Wan to make was not a padded jacket, but a coat to put on the padded jacket.Cotton is needed to make a padded jacket, but she doesn't have it.
And the coat can continue to be worn after winter, which is a good deal.
"Okay, I won't be wearing a padded jacket then, Miss Wang, bring me your clothes and I'll make them smaller for you." Chen Wan took Wang Cui's fabric and a deposit of one yuan. Although making a coat is easier than making a padded jacket, Chen Wan After the evening package is sold, the total price of two yuan is not expensive.
Chen Wan's clothes were carefully designed according to the characteristics of the wearer, unlike Tailor Zhao, who made clothes for ten people and eight of them were the same.Anyone who has made clothes here in Chen Wan's place has a good opinion.
It's New Year's Eve, so you can't show off your beautiful new clothes by wearing them out, so the closer to the end of the year, the more people come to Chen Wan to make clothes.
It doesn't matter if it's New Year's Eve soon, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the New Year's Eve.
Chen Wan extended the time of making clothes every day. After dinner in the evening, he would turn on the light to do it for two hours, and he would not finish work until about ninety o'clock.
Xu Kongshan covered Chen Wan's icy cold feet on his stomach with distress, he leaned over and kissed Chen Wan's eyes: "Are you tired?"
"Not tired." Chen Wan smiled, Xu Kongshan's warm embrace softened him into a puddle of water, "I haven't checked Brother Shan's homework yet."
Chen Wan muttered, but only his mouth was moving all over his body.
"I've finished writing it." Xu Kongshan read all the words on the medicinal material manuscript, "Ophiopogon japonicus, sweet, slightly bitter, slightly cold..."
Xu Kongshan recited in a low voice, Chen Wan loved him so much when he spoke in such a low voice, it made his tendons and legs weak, and even his ears were numb.
Xu Shi ate better recently, and Chen Wan was full of energy and blood. He hooked Xu Kongshan's neck, bit the Adam's apple that was rolling up and down because of talking, and let out a hum from his nose: "Brother Shan... "
Under the quilt, the two were wearing thin autumn clothes, arm to arm and leg to leg. No slight reaction from Chen Wan could escape Xu Kongshan's senses.
I don't know who thought that Xu Kongshan's palms were too thick and his hands were too strong, which made him bald.
Once raw and second cooked, Xu Kongshan withdrew his strength, and the cocoon in his palm brought another kind of stimulation that couldn't be stopped.
"Let's put it together, Brother Shan."
Chen Wan stretched out his hand to guide, and Xu Kongshan suddenly lost control.
Although there was no bald skin this time, Chen Wan's appearance was even more miserable than last time.
Let him not have a long memory, yes!
Chen Wan fell asleep with tears in her eyes, even her brows and eyes showed fatigue.
He slept until dawn, and when Zhou Mei woke up, she was fully dressed and was about to go out.
"Why did you get up so late? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhou Mei stopped and asked with concern.
"No, I was late making clothes last night." Chen Wan whose body was hollowed out blushed, "Sister-in-law, do you want to go out?"
Seeing that Chen Wan really didn't look uncomfortable, Zhou Mei let go of her worries: "Don't do it so late next time. Your fourth uncle has a reunion dinner today, and I'll help out first. After dinner, I'll ask Yong Yang to come back and call you."
Zhou Mei knew that Chen Wan liked to be quiet, and Fourth Uncle Chen had a lot of people, and men could smoke to death, so Chen Wan didn't need to go there so early.
The basket and small medicine hoe under the eaves were nowhere to be seen. Chen Wan realized that Xu Kongshan must have gone up the mountain and would not come back for lunch, so he said hello.
After breakfast, Chen Wan dug out Xu Kongshan's homework written yesterday and checked it. The copying was correct, and the addition and subtraction were all correct. After the Chinese New Year, he could teach him the ninety-nine multiplication table.
Chen Wan adjusted Xu Kongshan's teaching progress, and his goal was to finish teaching elementary school content before the college entrance examination.
With the Chen Xing sisters, there are enough teaching materials.
"Damei's dress was made by Chen Wan, it's so pretty."
As soon as Zhou Mei arrived at Uncle Chen's house, she was surrounded by women. They looked at Zhou Mei's new clothes greedily, and the envy in their voices almost turned into substance.
"You Chen Wan is so good at making clothes, when will you let him make one for me?"
Zhou Mei looked at the old lady who was talking, and the smile on her face collapsed by two points: "What do you want to do, I need four feet of cloth for this kind of cloth on my body. Originally, those who paid at least three yuan are all relatives. You give two It's ready."
"Can't you just ask Chen Wan to do it for me? I'm his third lady, and I can't wear one of his clothes." The old lady had a sarcastic look, and she said it as it should be.
Zhou Mei resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She had the nerve to say that she was Chen Wan's third lady. When Chen Wan was born, she opened her mouth to think that the child would not be able to support her, so she should throw it away as soon as possible.
Now I want clothes and remember that I am an elder, it is shameless.
"There's no such thing as a pie in the sky. Ma'am, you are the elder of Chen Wan, but Chen Wan is not the only elder." Zhou Mei walked two steps towards the kitchen, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes, yes, I've been waiting for you for a long time, go in quickly." The women embraced Zhou Mei and entered the kitchen, leaving behind the third lady who was ignored.For things that are old and disrespectful, they want to take advantage of everything.If you want to wear clothes made by Chen Wan for nothing, go ahead and dream.
The kitchen was bustling with activity. Zhou Mei was wearing a new dress. Uncle Chen's eldest daughter-in-law brought out a coverall for her: "Why didn't you see Chen Wan coming over?"
"He'll come later." Someone will help with the selection and cutting of vegetables, Zhou Mei only needs to be in charge of the steps of cooking, "How many tables have you arranged?"
The reunion dinner is an essential part of the Chinese New Year. No matter how poor people are, people will not miss this part, unless there is a real famine and the family can't open the pot.
The other party talked about four tables, and Zhou Mei ordered the dishes on the long table: "With the chicken soup, there are four meat dishes in total. Some daughter-in-laws are so generous this year."
"It's Chinese New Year, how can you be generous with your sister-in-law." One year, the daughter-in-law chopped up pickles, "I heard that Yong Fei will be back soon?"
While the women were chatting, they handled the ingredients in their hands deftly. After a while, the aroma of the cooking spread to the noses of the men chatting outside.
"Meat!" The playful child rushed to the kitchen door smelling the smell of meat, and looked inside eagerly.
"Go outside to play, and I will call you when you eat." Before eating, you have to worship the ancestors, and neither adults nor children can touch the fried dishes, which is disrespectful to the ancestors.
The children ran away in disappointment. Uncle Chen led his sons to set up the tables. There were two tables in the room and two tables under the eaves. It was a bit crowded, but it didn't affect the seating.
Chen Yongyang got Zhou Mei's order, watched Fourth Uncle Chen take the joss stick, and immediately ran back to ask Chen Wan to eat.
When the uncles and nephews arrived, Fourth Uncle Chen lit the firecrackers, which crackled for about ten seconds, and the smoke and dust did not disperse. The impatient children flocked to find the unexploded firecrackers, which were their favorite toys.
Chen Wan greeted each of them. He didn't drink and sat at the children's table.
Then he saw what it means to grab a meal.
"Little uncle, eat quickly." Chen Yongyang quickly picked up a few chopsticks of meat for Chen Wan, and when Chen Wan came back to his senses, the meat basin was empty.
Not only the meat, but all the dishes on the table disappeared under the children's chopsticks in a very short time.
Chen Wan seemed to be feeling lonely.
"Oh, why are you sitting at the same table with them?" Zhou Meizai came out of the kitchen, dumbfounded.
Chen Wan usually eats at home in a gentle manner, and has always been the one who eats the slowest at home. Zhou Mei guessed that he must not be full, so she led him to the next table.
"Chen Wan come and sit here." Chunlai's daughter-in-law gave up her seat. Chen Wan is a guest, so she should make way.
"Sit down and eat your food, Chen Wan has the nerve to take your seat." Zhou Mei pushed her down, "Xingxing and Lulu sit tighter, and make room for your little uncle."
The regular number of people at a square table is eight, but the area is large enough that nine people won't be crowded.
Chen Wan silently speeded up the progress of eating, he was not used to sitting with so many women.
Chunlai's daughter-in-law was busy adding food to the table of the man who was drinking between meals, so Chen Wan put down her chopsticks and told Zhou Mei that he was full.
Seeing this, Chen Xing and the two sisters finished the rice in the bowl in twos and twos: "I'm full too!"
They followed Chen Wan to the table, away from the noisy crowd, Chen Wan heaved a sigh of relief.
"Little uncle, can I give Huihui the hair tie you gave me?" Chen Lu took Chen Xing's hand, looked up at Chen Wan, "Huihui likes the hair tie you made very much, I want to give it to you Make her a New Year's gift."
"Of course, it's for you. You can give it to anyone you want." Chen Wan replied with a smile, "But since it's a gift, I'll make you two new ones. The same goes for the stars. "
It's just two hair rings, Chen Wan can do it in minutes.
In the evening, Chen Wan didn't go there again, but simply ate at home with Xu Kongshan, and he didn't want to have a second experience at noon.
Speaking of Wang Xia, as soon as she got home that day, she took Mrs. Wang by the arm and went straight to the back room.
"Mom, please find someone to help me marry Chen Wan." Wang Xia's mind was full of Chen Wan's face, "I want to marry Chen Wan."
Mrs. Wang froze when she took off her padded jacket: "What did you say?"
"I want to marry Chen Wan." Wang Xia repeated, pulled off the half-removed sleeves for Mrs. Wang, picked up the patched padded jacket on the bedside, and handed it to him.
Mrs. Wang was confused: "What are you doing?"
"Oh mom, listen to me." Wang Cui twisted Mrs. Wang and shook out her little calculation, "The conditions of the Chen family are among the best in Ping'an Village, and Chen Wan can make money by making clothes. Have a good time.”
Mrs. Wang is clear about the conditions of the Chen family, but the question is, is Chen Wan willing to marry Wang Xia?
Even if she was Wang Xia's own mother, she couldn't tell the lie that Wang Xia and Chen Wan were a good match.How much Wang Xia weighs, she knows better than anyone else.
"Ah Xia, Mom advises you to give up on this." Mrs. Wang saw Chen Wan, and looked down on his sickly appearance, "Then Chen Wan is just a medicine jar, which is useless. You listen to what mother said, you can't just look at a man's appearance when looking for a man, only a good body is serious."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with his body." Wang Xia recalled Chen Wan's appearance today. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. Well."
Mrs. Wang was still unwilling, since it was clearly impossible, she could not embarrass Wang Xia.
Wang Xia even thought about the life after she married Chen Wan, how could she give up so easily.
"I don't care, I just want to marry Chen Wan." The temptation of beauty and a better life made Wang Xia forget her respect for Mrs. Wang, she put down her harsh words, "If you don't agree, I won't eat for a day!"
Mrs. Wang slapped Wang Xia on the back, and Si Nizi dared to talk back.
Wang Xia had never been beaten before. Mrs. Wang's slap stunned her for a moment, and she burst into tears immediately after recovering.
Mrs. Wang was so annoyed by her: "Ah Xia, mom is doing it for your own good, mom won't lie to you."
The mother and daughter couldn't help but look alike, and their temperaments were also very close. It was the first time they had such a big disagreement, and the quarrel was fruitless. Wang Xia actually locked herself in the room and started a hunger strike.
Wang Xia thought that her mother couldn't make a turn in her mind now, and when she married Chen Wan and lived a good life, her mother would know how wise her choice was.
Mrs. Wang didn't take Wang Xia's threat to heart. She concluded that Wang Xia couldn't bear two meals, and she would come out and give in when she was hungry.
However, from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, there was still no sign of Wang Xia opening the door, and Mrs. Wang finally panicked.
The children are debts, and Mrs. Wang clutched her chest: "Axia, Mom promised you, you should eat something, don't starve people to death."
The author has something to say: Chen Wan: Sigh.
"Wang Xia has taken a fancy to our Liu'er!" Zhou Mei was full of complaints, "Why did I think she was so affectionate, so it was because of her intentions."
It's a good thing to say that Chen Wan has a girl who likes her, but the premise is not to be as shameless as Wang Xia.
Think about what kind of life Wang Cui is living next door. With an in-law like the Wang family, will he be able to live a peaceful life in the future?
Regardless of family factors, Wang Xia herself is not worthy of Chen Wan regardless of her appearance, personality or knowledge.
Zhou Mei couldn't figure it out after much deliberation. There were many girls with better conditions than her waiting to marry Chen Wan. Where did Wang Xia get the confidence that she and Chen Wan could make things happen?
Can't figure it out Zhou Mei simply didn't want to think about it, everyone just thought this was an insignificant episode and there would be no follow-up.
With the danger lifted, Chen Yongyang went out to play in peace.Xu Kongshan sat on the edge of the bed dejectedly, Chen Wan couldn't help being a little surprised: "Brother Shan, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Kongshan raised his head, his eyes reminded Chen Wan of a wronged beast: "I am more than four years older than you."
It turned out that I heard Zhou Mei's sentence "Chen Wan doesn't like old people".
Chen Wan couldn't help laughing, and grabbed his finger: "Yes, I don't like older people."
Xu Kongshan's complexion changed, and then he heard the second part of Chen Wan's sentence: "I like you."
I like you regardless of gender or age.
Xu Kongshan turned from worry to joy: "Liu'er, I like you too."
Chen Wan didn't expect Xu Kongshan to respond like this, he excitedly kissed Xu Kongshan's face, the joy in his heart was beyond words.
The Wang family next door had dinner and left. After Wang Cui cleaned up the mess in the house, she untied her apron and hurried over to find Zhou Mei.
"Sister Damei, what happened just now? I heard you talking, but I couldn't get away for a while." What Wang Cui didn't say was that she looked at Wang Xia's face, as if she was planning some bad idea.
"It's not a big deal. Your sister asked Chen Wan to help him make a dress. Chen Wan said she didn't have time. She didn't believe me, so I broke up with her." Zhou Mei finally saved Wang Xia's face and didn't say that she went to Get close to those words.
"She asks Chen Wan to help make clothes? It's a lie, she's only wearing new clothes, how can my mother have the money to make her a second one?"
Wang Cui is well aware of the family background of the Wang family. Her two younger brothers are idle all day long, and everyone is counting on the old couple to work in the fields. It would be nice to be able to make upper body clothes all year round. Wang Xia wants to make two clothes by herself, which is almost a dream.
Sure enough, it was an excuse, Zhou Mei did not wrong anyone at all.
"I don't think she really wants to make clothes. I guess she heard someone talk about Chen Wan's craftsmanship, so she came here on purpose to see something strange." Seeing that the third son of He sent out the relatives of the He family, Zhou Mei turned to ask Wang Xia, "Your mother and the others packed up all the leftovers again?"
The Wang family would come here every year, and they would start pretending to be leftovers after eating. The relatives of the He family couldn't see the bandit-like behavior, and Mrs. Wang opened her mouth to curse people after saying a few words.The He family is not good because Mrs. Wang has cut off contact with Mr. He, so even if they are from the same village, they only eat one meal at noon.
Under normal circumstances, the reunion dinner includes two meals at noon and evening, and the evening meal is basically the leftovers at noon.The Wang family had a disc, so naturally there were no leftovers for the evening.
"Isn't it? The plate looks like it's been licked, and it saved me a lot of effort in washing the dishes." Wang Cui sneered, "My mother even told me that I don't have to go back on the second day of junior high school. I really want to go back."
Wang Cui smiled as she said, she couldn't wish for more.
"Hey, Miss Damei." Wang Cui lowered her voice, "Chen Wan really doesn't have time to make clothes?"
Her question and hesitant expression made Zhou Mei seem to guess something: "Why, do you want to make clothes?"
Being caught by Zhou Mei, Wang Cui was a little embarrassed, but more relaxed: "That's right, Sister Damei, let me tell you the truth, every time I see someone come to Chen Wan with materials to make clothes, I don't worry too much about it." Envious."
When Wang Cui and He Laosan got married, they owed a lot of foreign debts. Later, when the He family split up, they went out to repair the house and drew another bill. Over the years, the couple finally paid off the money.
Who doesn't want to have a new dress for the New Year, Wang Cui is still wearing the clothes she bought when she got married, if she didn't cherish it enough on weekdays, she would have died long ago and couldn't wear it.
So this year, with extra money in hand, Wang Cui was finally willing to make a new dress for herself.
The reason why it was delayed until the end of the year was to avoid the Wang family.
In fact, Chen Wan didn't have so much work on hand that he couldn't spare time to take on new business, that was just an excuse to reject Wang Xia.
"It's free, have you bought the material? If you do, go and get it." Zhou Mei agreed on Chen Wan's behalf, and Wang Cui happily went back to get the material for the bottom of the box.
What Wang Cui asked Chen Wan to make was not a padded jacket, but a coat to put on the padded jacket.Cotton is needed to make a padded jacket, but she doesn't have it.
And the coat can continue to be worn after winter, which is a good deal.
"Okay, I won't be wearing a padded jacket then, Miss Wang, bring me your clothes and I'll make them smaller for you." Chen Wan took Wang Cui's fabric and a deposit of one yuan. Although making a coat is easier than making a padded jacket, Chen Wan After the evening package is sold, the total price of two yuan is not expensive.
Chen Wan's clothes were carefully designed according to the characteristics of the wearer, unlike Tailor Zhao, who made clothes for ten people and eight of them were the same.Anyone who has made clothes here in Chen Wan's place has a good opinion.
It's New Year's Eve, so you can't show off your beautiful new clothes by wearing them out, so the closer to the end of the year, the more people come to Chen Wan to make clothes.
It doesn't matter if it's New Year's Eve soon, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the New Year's Eve.
Chen Wan extended the time of making clothes every day. After dinner in the evening, he would turn on the light to do it for two hours, and he would not finish work until about ninety o'clock.
Xu Kongshan covered Chen Wan's icy cold feet on his stomach with distress, he leaned over and kissed Chen Wan's eyes: "Are you tired?"
"Not tired." Chen Wan smiled, Xu Kongshan's warm embrace softened him into a puddle of water, "I haven't checked Brother Shan's homework yet."
Chen Wan muttered, but only his mouth was moving all over his body.
"I've finished writing it." Xu Kongshan read all the words on the medicinal material manuscript, "Ophiopogon japonicus, sweet, slightly bitter, slightly cold..."
Xu Kongshan recited in a low voice, Chen Wan loved him so much when he spoke in such a low voice, it made his tendons and legs weak, and even his ears were numb.
Xu Shi ate better recently, and Chen Wan was full of energy and blood. He hooked Xu Kongshan's neck, bit the Adam's apple that was rolling up and down because of talking, and let out a hum from his nose: "Brother Shan... "
Under the quilt, the two were wearing thin autumn clothes, arm to arm and leg to leg. No slight reaction from Chen Wan could escape Xu Kongshan's senses.
I don't know who thought that Xu Kongshan's palms were too thick and his hands were too strong, which made him bald.
Once raw and second cooked, Xu Kongshan withdrew his strength, and the cocoon in his palm brought another kind of stimulation that couldn't be stopped.
"Let's put it together, Brother Shan."
Chen Wan stretched out his hand to guide, and Xu Kongshan suddenly lost control.
Although there was no bald skin this time, Chen Wan's appearance was even more miserable than last time.
Let him not have a long memory, yes!
Chen Wan fell asleep with tears in her eyes, even her brows and eyes showed fatigue.
He slept until dawn, and when Zhou Mei woke up, she was fully dressed and was about to go out.
"Why did you get up so late? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhou Mei stopped and asked with concern.
"No, I was late making clothes last night." Chen Wan whose body was hollowed out blushed, "Sister-in-law, do you want to go out?"
Seeing that Chen Wan really didn't look uncomfortable, Zhou Mei let go of her worries: "Don't do it so late next time. Your fourth uncle has a reunion dinner today, and I'll help out first. After dinner, I'll ask Yong Yang to come back and call you."
Zhou Mei knew that Chen Wan liked to be quiet, and Fourth Uncle Chen had a lot of people, and men could smoke to death, so Chen Wan didn't need to go there so early.
The basket and small medicine hoe under the eaves were nowhere to be seen. Chen Wan realized that Xu Kongshan must have gone up the mountain and would not come back for lunch, so he said hello.
After breakfast, Chen Wan dug out Xu Kongshan's homework written yesterday and checked it. The copying was correct, and the addition and subtraction were all correct. After the Chinese New Year, he could teach him the ninety-nine multiplication table.
Chen Wan adjusted Xu Kongshan's teaching progress, and his goal was to finish teaching elementary school content before the college entrance examination.
With the Chen Xing sisters, there are enough teaching materials.
"Damei's dress was made by Chen Wan, it's so pretty."
As soon as Zhou Mei arrived at Uncle Chen's house, she was surrounded by women. They looked at Zhou Mei's new clothes greedily, and the envy in their voices almost turned into substance.
"You Chen Wan is so good at making clothes, when will you let him make one for me?"
Zhou Mei looked at the old lady who was talking, and the smile on her face collapsed by two points: "What do you want to do, I need four feet of cloth for this kind of cloth on my body. Originally, those who paid at least three yuan are all relatives. You give two It's ready."
"Can't you just ask Chen Wan to do it for me? I'm his third lady, and I can't wear one of his clothes." The old lady had a sarcastic look, and she said it as it should be.
Zhou Mei resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She had the nerve to say that she was Chen Wan's third lady. When Chen Wan was born, she opened her mouth to think that the child would not be able to support her, so she should throw it away as soon as possible.
Now I want clothes and remember that I am an elder, it is shameless.
"There's no such thing as a pie in the sky. Ma'am, you are the elder of Chen Wan, but Chen Wan is not the only elder." Zhou Mei walked two steps towards the kitchen, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes, yes, I've been waiting for you for a long time, go in quickly." The women embraced Zhou Mei and entered the kitchen, leaving behind the third lady who was ignored.For things that are old and disrespectful, they want to take advantage of everything.If you want to wear clothes made by Chen Wan for nothing, go ahead and dream.
The kitchen was bustling with activity. Zhou Mei was wearing a new dress. Uncle Chen's eldest daughter-in-law brought out a coverall for her: "Why didn't you see Chen Wan coming over?"
"He'll come later." Someone will help with the selection and cutting of vegetables, Zhou Mei only needs to be in charge of the steps of cooking, "How many tables have you arranged?"
The reunion dinner is an essential part of the Chinese New Year. No matter how poor people are, people will not miss this part, unless there is a real famine and the family can't open the pot.
The other party talked about four tables, and Zhou Mei ordered the dishes on the long table: "With the chicken soup, there are four meat dishes in total. Some daughter-in-laws are so generous this year."
"It's Chinese New Year, how can you be generous with your sister-in-law." One year, the daughter-in-law chopped up pickles, "I heard that Yong Fei will be back soon?"
While the women were chatting, they handled the ingredients in their hands deftly. After a while, the aroma of the cooking spread to the noses of the men chatting outside.
"Meat!" The playful child rushed to the kitchen door smelling the smell of meat, and looked inside eagerly.
"Go outside to play, and I will call you when you eat." Before eating, you have to worship the ancestors, and neither adults nor children can touch the fried dishes, which is disrespectful to the ancestors.
The children ran away in disappointment. Uncle Chen led his sons to set up the tables. There were two tables in the room and two tables under the eaves. It was a bit crowded, but it didn't affect the seating.
Chen Yongyang got Zhou Mei's order, watched Fourth Uncle Chen take the joss stick, and immediately ran back to ask Chen Wan to eat.
When the uncles and nephews arrived, Fourth Uncle Chen lit the firecrackers, which crackled for about ten seconds, and the smoke and dust did not disperse. The impatient children flocked to find the unexploded firecrackers, which were their favorite toys.
Chen Wan greeted each of them. He didn't drink and sat at the children's table.
Then he saw what it means to grab a meal.
"Little uncle, eat quickly." Chen Yongyang quickly picked up a few chopsticks of meat for Chen Wan, and when Chen Wan came back to his senses, the meat basin was empty.
Not only the meat, but all the dishes on the table disappeared under the children's chopsticks in a very short time.
Chen Wan seemed to be feeling lonely.
"Oh, why are you sitting at the same table with them?" Zhou Meizai came out of the kitchen, dumbfounded.
Chen Wan usually eats at home in a gentle manner, and has always been the one who eats the slowest at home. Zhou Mei guessed that he must not be full, so she led him to the next table.
"Chen Wan come and sit here." Chunlai's daughter-in-law gave up her seat. Chen Wan is a guest, so she should make way.
"Sit down and eat your food, Chen Wan has the nerve to take your seat." Zhou Mei pushed her down, "Xingxing and Lulu sit tighter, and make room for your little uncle."
The regular number of people at a square table is eight, but the area is large enough that nine people won't be crowded.
Chen Wan silently speeded up the progress of eating, he was not used to sitting with so many women.
Chunlai's daughter-in-law was busy adding food to the table of the man who was drinking between meals, so Chen Wan put down her chopsticks and told Zhou Mei that he was full.
Seeing this, Chen Xing and the two sisters finished the rice in the bowl in twos and twos: "I'm full too!"
They followed Chen Wan to the table, away from the noisy crowd, Chen Wan heaved a sigh of relief.
"Little uncle, can I give Huihui the hair tie you gave me?" Chen Lu took Chen Xing's hand, looked up at Chen Wan, "Huihui likes the hair tie you made very much, I want to give it to you Make her a New Year's gift."
"Of course, it's for you. You can give it to anyone you want." Chen Wan replied with a smile, "But since it's a gift, I'll make you two new ones. The same goes for the stars. "
It's just two hair rings, Chen Wan can do it in minutes.
In the evening, Chen Wan didn't go there again, but simply ate at home with Xu Kongshan, and he didn't want to have a second experience at noon.
Speaking of Wang Xia, as soon as she got home that day, she took Mrs. Wang by the arm and went straight to the back room.
"Mom, please find someone to help me marry Chen Wan." Wang Xia's mind was full of Chen Wan's face, "I want to marry Chen Wan."
Mrs. Wang froze when she took off her padded jacket: "What did you say?"
"I want to marry Chen Wan." Wang Xia repeated, pulled off the half-removed sleeves for Mrs. Wang, picked up the patched padded jacket on the bedside, and handed it to him.
Mrs. Wang was confused: "What are you doing?"
"Oh mom, listen to me." Wang Cui twisted Mrs. Wang and shook out her little calculation, "The conditions of the Chen family are among the best in Ping'an Village, and Chen Wan can make money by making clothes. Have a good time.”
Mrs. Wang is clear about the conditions of the Chen family, but the question is, is Chen Wan willing to marry Wang Xia?
Even if she was Wang Xia's own mother, she couldn't tell the lie that Wang Xia and Chen Wan were a good match.How much Wang Xia weighs, she knows better than anyone else.
"Ah Xia, Mom advises you to give up on this." Mrs. Wang saw Chen Wan, and looked down on his sickly appearance, "Then Chen Wan is just a medicine jar, which is useless. You listen to what mother said, you can't just look at a man's appearance when looking for a man, only a good body is serious."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with his body." Wang Xia recalled Chen Wan's appearance today. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. Well."
Mrs. Wang was still unwilling, since it was clearly impossible, she could not embarrass Wang Xia.
Wang Xia even thought about the life after she married Chen Wan, how could she give up so easily.
"I don't care, I just want to marry Chen Wan." The temptation of beauty and a better life made Wang Xia forget her respect for Mrs. Wang, she put down her harsh words, "If you don't agree, I won't eat for a day!"
Mrs. Wang slapped Wang Xia on the back, and Si Nizi dared to talk back.
Wang Xia had never been beaten before. Mrs. Wang's slap stunned her for a moment, and she burst into tears immediately after recovering.
Mrs. Wang was so annoyed by her: "Ah Xia, mom is doing it for your own good, mom won't lie to you."
The mother and daughter couldn't help but look alike, and their temperaments were also very close. It was the first time they had such a big disagreement, and the quarrel was fruitless. Wang Xia actually locked herself in the room and started a hunger strike.
Wang Xia thought that her mother couldn't make a turn in her mind now, and when she married Chen Wan and lived a good life, her mother would know how wise her choice was.
Mrs. Wang didn't take Wang Xia's threat to heart. She concluded that Wang Xia couldn't bear two meals, and she would come out and give in when she was hungry.
However, from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, there was still no sign of Wang Xia opening the door, and Mrs. Wang finally panicked.
The children are debts, and Mrs. Wang clutched her chest: "Axia, Mom promised you, you should eat something, don't starve people to death."
The author has something to say: Chen Wan: Sigh.
