Happy pastoral event: a wonderful wife

Chapter 23 Dinner at Zhou's House

After Shen Yunjin returned to Zhou's thatched hut, she sat down on the kang, wanting to rest for a while, she was a little tired just now after spending so much talking with the eldest and second roommates.

But she also knows that there must be more times like this in the future. The first room and the second room are people who like to take advantage of it. Now that she has even earned the money to build the house, how can they let it go easily? she?It would be nice not to harass her every day as a cash cow.

Thinking of these brown candy-like relatives, Shen Yunjin felt a headache. She rubbed her temples, thinking about how to get rid of them in the future.

At this time, the small door of the thatched hut was pushed open, Shen Yunjin looked up and saw that it was Zhou Ling'er who came in. Zhou Ling'er came in with a thick quilt and put the quilt on the kang.

Shen Yunjin walked over and touched the quilt, wondering, "Ling'er, is this quilt for us? But it's summer now, and the weather is so hot, there's no need to cover it with a quilt."

Zhou Ling'er smiled, "The quilt is for your siblings, but it's not for you to cover your body, but for you to spread it on the kang, and then put the quilt on top of the quilt, so If you sleep at night, you will feel more comfortable, otherwise the kang is too cold."

It turned out that Zhou Ling'er wanted Shen Yunjin to put an extra quilt under the mattress, so that he would feel thicker and softer when sleeping on it, and would not feel that the kang was too cold or too hard.

Shen Yunjin was a little embarrassed, she waved her hand, and said, "No need Ling'er, we've already troubled you and auntie here, how can I ask for your quilt, you should take the quilt back and save it when it's cold Cover it."

"It's okay, my mother made several of these quilts, either for covering them, or for laying them on the kang. You don't have to save it for us." Zhou Ling'er didn't listen to Shen Yunjin, and went directly to the kang to put the quilt on. After the bed was finished, she said, "My mother's waist is not good, and she always finds the kang uncomfortable when she sleeps, so she made this kind of big quilt and spread it on the kang all year round. Don't be polite to me, why don't you just use a quilt Well."

Seeing that Ling'er had already spread the quilt, Shen Yunjin had no choice but to refuse. She knew that Zhou Ling'er really cared about her, and she felt lucky to have such a good friend.

Zhou Ling'er got down from the kang and said, "Yunjin, you go to my house for dinner tonight, my mother is already cooking, let me come over and call your siblings, let's go, call your sister and brother and let's go eat .”

Shen Yunjin smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll call Yunwen and Jinger here, they are playing outside."

Before leaving, Shen Yunjin remembered the basket by the door, and took the basket with her.

After Shen Yunjin and Zhou Linger went out, they saw Yunwen and Jinger who were enjoying themselves, and told them to wash their hands quickly and go to Zhou's house for dinner together.

Arriving at Zhou's house, Shen Yunjin smelled the aroma of the food as soon as she entered the door. Smelling the smell, Aunt Zhou must have cooked several dishes, and they were all delicious, and Shen Yunjin's stomach began to growl uncontrollably.

Aunt Zhou smiled kindly and said, "It's really time for you to come. This soup has just been boiled, Yunjin, don't be too polite in a while, you must have a good taste of Auntie's cooking. Well, let's eat, Ling'er, hurry up The table is set."

While arranging the bowls and chopsticks with Zhou Linger, Shen Yunjin said to Aunt Zhou, "Thank you aunt, just smelling this fragrance makes me hungry. Needless to say, aunt's craftsmanship must be very good."

During the meal, Shen Yunjin knew that she was right. The dishes Mrs. Zhou cooked were all delicious and her cooking skills were extraordinary. Mrs. Zhou made a plate of fried beans, a plate of eggplant with sauce, and a large bowl Spinach soup with a side dish of tofu mixed with shallots.Among them, the sauce-flavored eggplant is the most delicious. The eggplant is very tasty and not greasy.

At the dinner table, everyone was talking and laughing, and the food was delicious.

After everyone was full, Shen Yunjin took the basket she brought and put it in front of Aunt Zhou, "Auntie, take a look, this is what I bought for you and Ling'er, treat it as You have to accept any kindness."

Aunt Zhou was a little surprised. She opened the basket and saw a pair of dark blue embroidered shoes and a pair of pink embroidered shoes inside. These two pairs of embroidered shoes were exquisitely made, and the toes were embroidered with a particularly beautiful peony pattern. Beautiful, you can tell that a lot of effort has been put into it.

Ordinary people can't make such embroidered shoes, they can only be sold in big shops in the town, and the price is not cheap, ordinary peasants will not be willing to spend money to buy such a pair of shoes, no matter how beautiful it is.

Zhou Ling'er also saw the shoes, and exclaimed, "Yunjin, what are you doing with this, it will cost you a lot of money."

Aunt Zhou put the shoes back in the basket, and said to Shen Yunjin, "Yunjin, return these shoes when you go to town tomorrow, auntie is reluctant to wear such good shoes, and Linger doesn't wear them either, auntie I know you have a heart, but it's too expensive for you, so there's no need for it."

Shen Yunjin smiled and shook his head, "Ma'am, Ling'er, you have helped me so much, don't you even accept a pair of shoes? If you don't accept them, I can only exchange the shoes for money. Think of it as the rent of thatched hut. However, it is impossible to return these two pairs of shoes. The store will not return them if they sell them, and the size of the embroidered shoes is not suitable for me. If you refuse to accept them, the shoes But it can only be wasted.”

She knew that Aunt Zhou would never accept her money no matter what, but she didn't want to live in someone else's thatched hut for nothing, no matter how good the relationship was, she couldn't take advantage of it for nothing, so she had to use things instead of money. come over.She remembered that Ling'er said before that she really wanted to have such a pair of embroidered shoes, so she secretly measured the size of the shoes for Auntie and Ling'er, and bought two pairs of embroidered shoes.

Aunt Zhou felt relieved when she heard what she said. After all, the embroidered shoes were bought with money, and they can't be bought for nothing. Wouldn't the money be wasted?

"Then... alright, we'll take these shoes." Aunt Zhou said, "Yunjin, I'm sorry for making you spend so much money this time, and if you want to eat something in the future, just tell aunt, aunt Do it for you."

Shen Yunjin responded immediately, "Understood, aunt, I won't be polite to you when I'm hungry. You and Ling'er should try on the embroidered shoes and see if they fit well."

Although Zhou Auntie and Zhou Linger are very frugal, most women like beautiful shoes. When Auntie Zhou and Linger put on the embroidered shoes, both of them had happy smiles on their faces, and kept going Staring at the embroidered shoes on her feet, she couldn't bear to look away.

Especially Zhou Ling'er, she couldn't help sighing, "Yunjin, these embroidered shoes are really beautiful, they fit very well, they are very comfortable to wear, I have to save them for the Chinese New Year, when I go out to the village People must be very envious of me."

"Just fit your feet. These shoes are really suitable for you. They really look beautiful." Shen Yunjin praised.

Seeing that both of their mothers are very happy, Shen Yunjin is content. Zhou's mother and daughter have helped her a lot regardless of return. Now she can do something for Aunt Zhou and Zhou Ling'er, even if it is a small thing, she feels that happy.
