1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

Hui had just pushed his bicycle into the gate of the courtyard when he happened to meet Jia Dongxu, who was running inside anxiously carrying a bag of something unknown.

A small black dot fell from the bag, and Chen Xiao went forward to check it out.

When I bent down to pick it up, I found that it was a very big ant.

If I'm not mistaken, Jia Dongxu's bag is probably full of ants.

Chen Xiao fell into deep thought.

What does Jia Dongxu do with so many ants?

Could it be to improve the food? Fried ants as a snack?

Back home, Qin Huairu was cooking in the kitchen, and Chen Xiao was sitting on a chair in the living room drinking tea.

"Brother Chen Xiao." Sha Zhu saw that the door of Chen Xiao's house was open, so he walked in without any hesitation.

He also had a small bag of walnuts in his hand, which he placed on the table.

"Silly Zhu, what are you doing???" Chen Xiao glanced at Walnut.

"The director took me out to cook for the leader today, and this was given to me by the leader when we came back."

"I just wanted to give some to you, Brother Chen Xiao, to try."

"Shazhu, you are thoughtful." Chen Xiao said with a smile.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

This idiot must have some bad things in his mind.

"By the way, Brother Chen Xiao, where is my sister-in-law? Why can't I see her?"

Putting the walnuts on the table, Sha Zhu looked around.

"..."

"Your sister-in-law is cooking."

"What? Could it be that this walnut is not for me? But for my lover?" Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Could it be that Shazhu has activated his dog-licking attribute now?

"No, no, Brother Chen Xiao, what are you talking about?" Sha Zhu smiled foolishly.

"You and my sister-in-law have been married for a week, and we are neighbors. I just want to get to know you..."

Chen Xiao arranged things for her on the first day he and Qin Huairu got married.

Don't talk to the random people in the yard. Except for the three aunts and those aunties, other men should try not to interfere.

Qin Huairu was also very sensible and kept everything Chen Xiao said in mind.

Since they got married, apart from doing housework at home, they only go out to wash dishes and clothes, and stay at home all the time.

"Do you know each other?"

"Silly Zhu, tell me how you want to get to know each other?"

Chen Xiao's tone gradually turned cold.

Sha Zhu's face was full of embarrassment at this time.

He explained hurriedly.

"Brother Chen Xiao, that's not what I meant. Please don't misunderstand me."

"After all, we are neighbors. My sister-in-law has been living here for a week, and we haven't even spoken a word."

"So...so I wanted to come over and get to know her and get familiar with her."

Qin Huairu, who had prepared dinner, came out carrying the dishes and chopsticks.

"What's wrong with Chen Xiao?"

"Huh? Are there guests at home?"

Qin Huairu first glanced at Chen Xiao, and then greeted Sha Zhu.

"Are you the chef next door, Shazhu? I often hear my wife talk about you."

"They say your cooking skills are among the best in the entire steel mill. The food you cook is delicious, no worse than what the chefs in the restaurant make."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu first looked at Qin Huairu blankly.

So beautiful, really beautiful.

Compared with Liu Lan, Liu Lan is not even as good as Qin Huairu's finger.

Sha Zhu blushed and looked embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law, please don't flatter me. I've only learned cooking from my father, He Daqing, for two years. My cooking skills can only be considered edible, but they can't compare to the old chefs in the restaurant."

Qin Huairu brought the food to the table, and Chen Xiao glanced at Sha Zhu.

"Silly Zhu, do you want to stay at my house for dinner?"

Then he greeted Qin Huairu.

"Huai Ru, go to the kitchen and see if there are any extra dishes or chopsticks."

Sha Zhu knew that Chen Xiao was ordering him to leave.

They were just being polite, and I couldn't be so shameless as to stay for dinner. Besides, there was rain at home.

He was already very happy just to be able to see Qin Huairu today.

Then he said goodbye.

“Brother Chen Xiao, please don’t bother my sister-in-law. I’m going home to cook for Yu Shui.”

After saying that, Sha Zhu left with a smile.

......

Chen Xiao said this while eating the food made by Qin Huairu at the dinner table.

"Stay away from this idiot Zhu from now on."

Qin Huairu nodded slightly.

"I know."

Then she hesitated for a moment and said what was in her mind.

"I don't know why, but the look on Shazhu's face just now made me feel uncomfortable..."

"If one day Shazhu dares to have other ideas about you, or even does something excessive, tell me, I will break his legs." Chen Xiao said with a cold face.

"You are mine. No one else can have any improper thoughts about you except me."

Chen Xiao's machismo made Qin Huairu feel warm inside.

Qin Huairu really likes this kind of domineering and arrogant attitude.

All women like to be conquered, and Qin Huairu is no exception.

Then Qin Huairu continued.

"By the way, Chen Xiao, how old is Shazhu this year? Judging from his appearance, he should be quite old, right? Yushui is his child, right? Why don't I see his wife?"

"That's his sister." Chen Xiao explained.

"Also, Shazhu is only one year younger than you. He should call you sister."

"Oh......"

"It turns out that Yu Shui is his sister."

Chen Xiao told Qin Huairu everything about Sha Zhu's experience.

Qin Huairu almost burst out with the chastity that is unique to women.

Before he reached adulthood, his father He Daqing ran away with the White Widow, leaving him and his sister to depend on each other.

......

"Mom, do you think this folk remedy is useful? I feel something is a little weird."

At the Jia family, Jia Zhang was frying ants in oil.

"Why is it useless? I found this recipe after asking around."

Jia Zhang took the spatula and stir-fried a few more times until the ants started to smell fragrant.

Jia Zhang put the ants on a plate and set it aside.

Jia Zhang was afraid that the medicine was not effective enough, so she left some live ants.

Soak it in white wine and let Jia Dongxu drink it directly after dinner.

"Dongxu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but what happened to you?"

"Gone in less than a minute?"

"Even your father, Lao Jia, isn't as cowardly as you are in person."

"You must take this disease seriously, in case it affects Tingting."

"I'm looking forward to holding my grandson. You can't ignore him. Not only will you have to eat all the fried ants, you'll also have to drink all the ants soaked in the glass of white wine!"

Looking at the densely packed ants in the teacup, there are still many living ants struggling to survive.

For some reason, Jia Dongxu felt a little scared.

Thinking that everything was done to make Tingting pregnant, Jia Dongxu agreed reluctantly.

"I know, Mom. Don't worry, I'll drink it all in a minute!"
