Travel through different worlds and experience different lives

The next morning, the two of them had hardly slept all night, but Chu Junchen was in high spirits and full of energy. Anyone could see that he was happy.

When Wuyou woke up, he saw Chu Junchen looking at him with a silly smile. He was speechless, but still said: Get up quickly, the village chief may be here soon.

Chu Junchen corrected: You should call me husband.

I didn't know what to say after hearing this. When this man starts to act like a spoiled child, he really doesn't care about age.

With a helpless shout, my husband got up.

After saying that, she didn't care about Chu Junchen, got up to cook, put on her clothes and said: Husband, arrange for the village chief and the people who will build the house later, and you go to the county to buy a pig, and tell the pork seller to send one every day.

If he doesn't want it, we will tell him the next day when he comes to deliver it.

Chu Junchen nodded and said, "Okay, my wife."

Wuyou got up and made breakfast, and then the village chief came with his men, calling almost all the men in the group who were able to work.

The village chief's wife also came to help. When Wuyou saw her, she hurried out to greet her and said, "Auntie, I wanted to ask you to come over to help with cooking after dinner. I can't handle so many people by myself."

The village chief's wife was called Tian Xiuying. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. It's just a matter of convenience."

Wuyou smiled and nodded, saying: Aunt Xiuying is right, come in quickly, and then he said to the other aunts from the village who came to help: Aunts, come and help with cooking, and when you are done, I will give each of you one or two taels of silver.

We can’t ask for everyone’s help for nothing.

The other aunts and sisters-in-law smiled and said when they heard this: We don't need any money at all. You and Junchen just got married, you should save some money for future use, so we don't need to give you any money.

If someone has nothing to do at home and comes to help cook, he won’t have this surname.

Wuyou didn't say much when he heard this, he just thanked them and invited everyone in.

After everyone sat down, Wuyou said: Which aunt has extra vegetables at home? I will need them these days. You can't give them away. I will pay for them. I just don't want Jun Chen to run back and forth to the county.

We have vegetables in our village too, so it doesn’t matter whose vegetables we buy.

After hearing this, Tian Xiuying said: Uncle Chen has more dishes.

I've been very worried during this period, so if you can buy some, it would be a help.

Wuyou smiled and said: There are more than a hundred people helping with the work now, almost all of them are from our village.

Some vegetables are brought in from Uncle Chen's house every day, and a few kilograms of food are not enough to feed more than a hundred people.

By the time the house was finished, Uncle Chen’s vegetables were mostly gone.

Everyone laughed and nodded when they heard this and said: Of course, if more than a hundred people eat every day, they can definitely finish all his dishes.

I just don’t know if it will be enough by then, haha.

Wuyou smiled and said: If it’s not enough, please buy me some of the extra ones you have at home.

This way, our village won’t have to worry about selling the crops this year.

Everyone was very happy to hear this, after all, every household had more than enough food to eat.

At this time Jun Chen came in and saw so many women in the room. He said embarrassedly: Wife, I went to the county. Do you want to buy anything?

Wuyou nodded and said, "Yes, you need to buy more oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice and flour." Then he handed a list to Junchen. "These are all things to buy. If you want to hire a car to come back today, you can buy 200 kilograms of rice and flour each."

That’s all for now. If there are too many, the car won’t be able to transport them all. If you need anything, you can buy it tomorrow.

Jun Chen nodded and said: Okay, then I’ll leave.

The women in the room didn't say anything. They all found it interesting to watch the young couple talking.

The main thing is that Jun Chen is twice as old as Wuyou.

But everyone felt it was very harmonious, and there was no sense of incongruity because of the old man and young wife.

You can even see that the two of them are very harmonious, and that warm feeling can be felt by others.

After Jun Chen left, Tian Xiuying smiled and said: It seems that you two are getting along very well. Your uncle and I were worried that you were too young to know how to live.

Now it seems we had more to worry about.

Wuyou smiled and said: Thank you Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, isn’t life the same?

I just came to this family from that family. The Chu family doesn't have parents-in-law to respect, so many things will be simpler.

After hearing this, Tian Xiuying thought for a while and nodded: Yes, marrying Chu Junchen is much better than staying in the Mu family.

At least you two can live a peaceful and stable life.

After that, he stopped talking about this topic and asked: How many dishes do you plan to cook today?

Wuyou thought for a while and said: Junchen and I agreed last night that we would grill half a piece of pork every day, steam buns today, make three pots of rice, and stir-fry six dishes.

From then on, the arrangement was almost the same every day, except that it didn't necessarily matter whether it was steamed buns or steamed buns. If steamed buns were made, the meat would be braised for everyone to eat. In any case, there would be enough oil and water.

Aunt Xiuying, do you think this arrangement is okay?

Everyone was shocked. What a huge undertaking! Feeding half a pig every day, that would be three or five kilograms, right?

Half a pound of pork is almost one hundred pounds, a smaller one is several dozen pounds, and a large one may be several hundred or so pounds.

But with just a few dozen kilograms of pork, you can make a lot of dishes.

Tian Xiuying didn't expect that these two children would be so generous, but she didn't say anything.

He nodded and said: This arrangement is already very good. Everyone may gain several pounds after working.

After saying this, everyone laughed. That's right. Although every household can afford meat now, how many people can eat it every day?

It's good enough to eat it once every few months. I didn't expect this couple to be so generous.

After chatting for a while, Uncle Chen's wife, Aunt Dujuan, went home to buy vegetables. Her husband was helping to build a house, so she had to go back to ask her son for help to buy them.

Almost no one under the age of 20 came. Those who came were all over 20, and their families were almost starting to arrange marriages. At least they could earn some money by working this time.

We brought in 300 kilograms of vegetables today. Wuyou will keep a record of them. You don’t have to give them over and over again. You can give them all at once when the work is done.

No one was worried that Wuyou and the others would not pay them, because the village chief said that Chu Junchen had paid them their wages, two hundred taels of silver.

If it is not enough, ask Chu Junchen for more. He also said that he would not owe anyone money.

When everyone heard this, they knew what the village chief meant was that the family had plenty of money, so there was no need to worry.

Uncle Chen naturally knew about this, after all, this was the home of the village chief, and the village chief had also asked them to come and help build the house. Naturally, he would also talk about this.

He even told his eldest brother that the box of silver notes was worth at least several thousand taels.

Wuyou started to make the dough rise and wash the vegetables. There were not so many pots at home, so he borrowed a big pot from someone else. Aunt Xiuying also went home and got a big pot.

The main reason is that I hardly have to go home to cook during this period.

They cook and bring some leftovers back home every day, which is enough for the whole family to eat in the evening.

Now in the whole village, the only people left are the elderly and children. In other words, almost all the men who can work in the village have come.

And helping with cooking has this advantage. Unless the boss is stingy, they will cook more, which means there will be a lot of leftover food.

The rich people don’t need these meals, and the poor people can’t finish them, so naturally they can only be given to those who come to help.

The food provided by the stingy people is almost not enough for the workers to eat, so there is no way for everyone to take it back.

Wuyou's family is naturally not stingy, and they can even be said to cook meals for the children and the elderly in the family.

They even asked the people who helped with the cooking to wait until the people building the house had finished their meal before sending everyone back.

Not only does this make the food fresh, but you can also take the dinner home with you.

Anyway, the amount she makes every day is too much. When the children and elderly people at home see these dishes, they think their daughter-in-law is afraid that they are hungry, so she brings back some more.

Who knew, after asking, I found out that Jun Chen's family deliberately did more and brought all their people out.

The village chief’s father is called Chen Xi, whose name contains the Chinese character “喜” (happiness). He looks very festive, a smiling old man.

Old Master Chen smiled and said: Mu Yan, no, she should be called Wuyou now. That girl is thoughtful. Hahaha, this little girl is really smart, and she is not stingy. She really doesn’t seem like a member of the Mu family.

Usually when she goes up the mountain to pick delicious food, she will share some with us old guys when she sees us. As for that girl, she won't have trouble finding a husband when she grows up, so it's really a good deal for Jun Chen.

That boy is really lucky to marry this girl.

After saying that, he sighed and said: If it weren't for the Mu family, that girl wouldn't have found a man who is twice her age.

But Jun Chen is also a good kid. Except for being a little older, everything else is good.

Only Wuyou is not afraid of him. All the girls in our village are afraid of that boy.

It's just a scar on the face, what's there to be afraid of? Besides, isn't it one's character that matters when looking for a husband?

Jun Chen is a top-notch guy in terms of both appearance and character. Now that he has found Wuyou, won’t he build a house right away?

This also shows that the child has saved a lot of money over the years.

Aunt Dujuan thought for a while and said: Dad, actually I always feel that in the Chu family, it seems that girl has the final say, and Jun Chen seems to tell Wuyou everything.

The old man laughed when he heard this and said: What man doesn't tell his wife about his problems? This shows respect and that he cares about her.

Even if I have something to say, don't I have to tell your mother?

Besides being a habit, I also feel that telling my wife means that I have her in my heart and that I care about her.
