After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes
Chapter 28: The Abandoned First Wife (28)
Tu Mingcheng went on a business trip immediately after his honeymoon ended.
With the Lunar New Year fast approaching and nothing much to do in the dead of winter, Zeng Min wandered back and forth between the Tu family's house and her old little nest.
Zeng Min wasn't very familiar with the Tu family yet, and she felt a little awkward around them, but An Lin adapted quite quickly.
About ten days before the Chinese New Year, Tu Mingcheng finally returned.
When Zeng Min noticed that Tu Mingcheng had lost a lot of weight since he left, she felt a little sorry for him.
But when she saw the things he brought back, her heartache vanished instantly.
Tu Mingcheng carried a large basket on his back and a sack of things on his shoulder, but his back was straight.
He placed the burlap sack on the square table in the main room, and put the basket on his back into his room.
Sister-in-law Tu saw this, opened her mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again.
Zeng Min watched him enter the room but didn't follow. Instead, she watched her mother-in-law unpacking sacks.
Zeng Min liked watching this. Back home, when her parents finally went to a market, she would check their bags when they came back. Even if they didn't get what she wanted, she felt very satisfied.
Because it was almost Chinese New Year, Tu's mother asked her son to buy New Year's goods and gave him three ten-yuan bills. As for ration coupons, she didn't give him any since he didn't have any.
"Look how big the sack is, it seems that Second Uncle has bought a lot of New Year's goods this time," said Tu Ming's sister-in-law, looking at the large sack with delight.
Because they didn't separate the family property, both brothers handed over their earnings, and saved the rest themselves.
Tu Mingcheng earns more and pays 20 yuan a month. Tu's eldest brother's family doesn't have much income, so they pay half of their earnings. No matter how much, they all work in the village, so they don't have to pay for their grain. The second brother's family doesn't work much, so they pay more money.
They were all family, so no one cared who lost out or who gained, but Sister-in-law Tu knew that her family had benefited.
My brother-in-law used to be away from home a lot, and my ex-sister-in-law wasn't very hardworking either. But the food, candy, and pastries that my brother-in-law brought back from outside were all eaten by his three children.
So sometimes when I see my brother-in-law's family living comfortably, I feel unbalanced, but I just put up with it and don't complain.
If they really felt it was unfair, they could only complain to Brother Tu in the young couple's room.
Brother Tu also knew that this was human nature; everyone has a jealous heart. But as long as you can control your jealousy and don't bother others, it's fine.
Life isn't always perfect. My wife has her flaws, but she's not petty.
Sister-in-law Tu could also see that her brother-in-law didn't value his ex-wife, but he loved this young wife very much. He gave her a dowry of eighty-eight yuan, not counting the red envelopes he gave to her parents.
Tu's mother: "Of course! There's a new person joining the family this year, so he has to spend some money."
Tu's mother said again, "Alright, everyone, stop staying in this room. Those who need to do chores, do your chores; those who need to cook, cook. You all just crowd together like this all day long." Tu's mother raised her voice, making it particularly loud.
Brother Tu glanced at his wife and said with a grin, "Mom, my second brother brought things back. Aren't you going to open them and take a look? We're so curious about them. Let's see what he bought after you open them."
"They have nothing to do all day long, and when they see something good, they just start eyeing it. They're all so short-sighted." Tu's mother's mouth was never idle, and her hands were never idle either.
While they were talking, they untied the sack.
"Oh, the town bought quite a lot of things this time!"
"There are also ten catties of glutinous rice. This year is another bountiful year. There is also cured meat, two packs of White Rabbit milk candy, peanut nougat, brown sugar, two bundles of noodles, and oh my, there is even fresh meat."
As Tu's mother picked it up, she muttered to herself. Seeing Tu Mingcheng approaching, she quickly asked:
"What kind of meat is this? It can't be pork, can it? We're slaughtering a pig in a couple of days, buying pork would be a complete waste."
Tu Mingcheng: "This is not pork, it's mutton. It's too cold today, so I bought it to warm up."
Tu's mother glanced at Zeng Min and said with a pout, "I've never seen you so considerate in previous years, but you've been much more considerate this year."
Without even looking at the picture, Mingchen reached into the sack again.
They also took out about ten kilograms of wheat flour, which can be used to make noodles and steamed buns.
Actually, locals don't really like using flour to make noodles, steamed buns, dumplings, etc. They all buy their own noodles.
I only do it when I have nothing else to do.
People here generally eat rice, sweet potatoes, and cornmeal. They often eat cornmeal mixed with rice.
It involves cooking rice until it's half-cooked, draining it, and then mixing it with half-cooked cornmeal in a steamer and steaming it together.
When Tu's mother saw that there was still steamed rice cake, she exclaimed with delight, "There's still steamed rice cake? I haven't had it in so long. This can only be found in the provincial capital!"
Paoba, also known as Wan'erba, is made from rice and brown sugar. I don't know the exact recipe, but it's soft, sticky, and delicious.
They bought a lot of different things. Tu's mother took out some White Rabbit milk candy and steamed rice cakes and distributed them to everyone before taking them to her room.
As for the meat and grain, they were taken to the cupboard in the kitchen and locked.
Since there was meat available for dinner, I made a dish of stir-fried cured pork with houttuynia cordata and a dish of pickled beans and vegetables, which we ate with fermented black bean chili sauce.
There was also a serving of potato chips and a serving of stir-fried pickled bamboo shoots.
Zeng Min's stomach was bloated from eating, and the children stuffed even more food into their mouths.
Anlin said, "Mom, my tummy is all bulging." He then patted his protruding belly.
Zeng Min followed his hand and touched his stomach, which was full.
I picked him up and said, "Didn't you call me 'Mama'? Why are you calling me 'Mommy' now?"
"My brother said I have to call her 'Mom,' or she'll start laughing. It sounds nice to call her 'Mom.'"
He spoke with a smile, clapping his hands. Then he continued calling out:
"Mommy~ Mommy".
"Eh."
Zeng Min carried An Lin for a walk for a while, and then went back to the house when it got dark. The man carried An Lin back to the house, but they haven't seen him yet!
After tidying himself up, Tu Mingcheng returned to his room and saw his wife looking at the things he had bought.
There were two bags of White Rabbit candy and nougat, two cans of mirage malted milk powder, a thermos, and two pairs of canvas shoes, one large and one small. Zeng Min looked up in surprise: "Mine?"
Zeng Min usually wears cloth shoes with rubber soles made by her family, as well as liberation shoes. She was pleasantly surprised to see something different.
Tu Mingcheng looked at her with affection and nodded: "It's for you and An Lin. The three children in my older brother's family just gave it to them."
"You're so sweet." He jumped into her arms, put his legs on his waist, wrapped his arms around his neck, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Seeing her posture, Tu Mingcheng quickly wrapped his arms around Zeng Min's waist, holding her tightly in his arms, his soft little rabbit rubbing against her.
Tu Mingcheng didn't care about anything else. He looked up and gave Zeng Min a deep kiss. He walked while kissing her, put Zeng Min on the bed, took off his clothes, and quickly pulled the quilt to cover the two of them.
A peculiar scent slowly filled their room; a night of passion, boundless and enchanting.
