I am beautiful enough

Chapter 2 Rural Man's Little Enemy

When the rooster crowed in the morning, Chen Jianmin got up from the bed.The October wind brought the unique humidity from the south into the cotton-padded clothes.The stove that hadn't been turned on for a day was cold, so Chen Jianmin took a raw sweet potato and peeled it without thinking too much, and gnawed it with warm hot water in a thermos bottle.

After dealing with the morning meal, Chen Jianmin took out the spittoon in the room, mixed it with water, and poured it on the private plot.

The Chen family's private land is not far away, and it is not very big, so Chen Jianmin manages and collects it all by himself.

The peanuts planted in the field can be harvested immediately, and I can eat some by myself, send some to Uncle Chen’s wife’s house, and ask the brigade to exchange some rapeseed for sowing in winter.

A circle of tomatoes was planted on the edge, hanging red and clear, which made people happy to watch in the cold weather.

By the time Chen Jianmin took care of his private plot, it was already full light, and everyone in the village, except those lazy men and women, had left the house, ready to go to work and start the day's work.

Chen Jianmin was walking back with a spittoon in his hand, and met Mrs. Chen who was out to work on the way.

"Jianmin, is the kid from Shi's family alright?" Aunt Chen was very concerned about seeing the girl for Chen Jianmin yesterday. Originally, she was annoyed that Shi Yu disturbed this matter, but the kid just went to the river like this. She jumped, and she was also worried.

"It's okay." Chen Jianmin said that his temperament had changed, but this was considered a good thing, so he didn't say much.

"Hey, I just missed that good girl from yesterday." Aunt Chen and Chen Jianmin were considered relatives. After Chen Jianmin's parents left, Aunt Chen took Chen Jianmin's marriage on her shoulders, "Don't worry, Jianmin. You introduce."

"Auntie, I'm not in a hurry." Chen Jianmin usually heard some men talking nasty things to his wife in the fields, and he didn't feel anything when he heard them.On the contrary, it was the small white waist that I saw yesterday. I didn't feel anything when I saw it for the first time, but it came back up after a night.

"Why don't you be in a hurry, people who are not a few years older than you are all grandpas." Mrs. Chen wanted to babble a few more words, but when she heard the gong beating for the second time, she hurried to get to work.

Chen Jianmin had already asked for leave before to go to the county. When he entered the house, he saw a corner of the iron sheet wrapped under the gate raised, and was shaken by the wind. He was as pitiful as he was bare-legged last night. time fish.

I was amused by my own associations, thinking that I had already taken things to make up for it, and when I walked to the closed door, I realized that the hut where the sundries had been placed had been taken by a slob. Didn't get up.

After thinking about it, he still didn't push the door to disturb Shiyu, but turned around and went into the kitchen, took a few balls of sweet potatoes and put them by the stove.

When he picked up the small basket containing the eggs, he paused for a while, then took out another egg and put it on the stove, whatever he wanted to eat when the fish got up.

There were not many eggs in that basket, and the bottom of the basket was only shallowly spread.Chen Jianmin's family didn't raise chickens, and he didn't eat eggs on weekdays. It was just for the girl he met that day, but the girl didn't get it, and he didn't get it. It was just a pity for Shi Yu.

I took the remaining eggs and leather shoes to Mrs. Chen's house and handed them to Mrs. Chen's granddaughter, Lanniu.

Chen Jianmin asked for leave today to go to the county. The last time he went there, he saw someone selling food in front of the county high school, so he secretly remembered it.

He took a fancy to a small store not far from the county high school. Although the store is small, it has the advantage that it is on the corner, and there are many people coming and going, even when it is not time to go to and from school.

Besides, Chen Jianmin’s desire to open a restaurant was not a sudden whim. Over the past few years, the shortage of food has gradually become less. Although eating well is still a problem, most people can eat enough. What Chen Jianmin has to do is to spend the least money to eat. good

.Steamed stuffed buns and pancakes are sold at the entrance of the county, so Chen Jianmin didn't plan to make breakfast. He planned to make some vegetarian dishes and marinated pig offal.

To make stewed meat, you need to use old stewed spots, and it takes a lot of materials. Generally, families rarely make it by themselves.The key is that the lo mei can be stored for a long time. Chen Jianmin can prepare it in advance, and then sell it after school and get off work, when each household starts cooking, so as not to delay his usual farm work.

But he hasn't told the villagers about this matter, not even Uncle Chen and Sister-in-law Chen.The villager's attitude towards business is still speculative, he doesn't want to cause trouble, and he will talk about it when he really does it.

Don't worry about the store, Chen Jianmin has already inquired about it. There are not many people buying stores this year, and people in the city are busy saving up for big things. If the villagers have the money, it is better to build a few more houses by themselves.

Just now Chen Jianmin went to see the seller and said that he wanted to consider whether he could stay for a month, but the other party agreed in a hurry.

Things went better than expected, and it was still early, so Chen Jianmin wanted to see where he could buy materials.

There is no need to worry about vegetarian dishes. If you go to a few more villages, you can always get them. The difficulty is meat.When everything was purchased by ticket, items that did not require meat tickets, such as pork offal and pig bones, were snapped up very quickly, and the workers who sold pork would also keep some for themselves.

Chen Jianmin has been living in the village, so he doesn't know much about these things. He only heard that everything is good in the city, but he didn't expect to go all over the market without buying a piece of meat. It's not as convenient as eating meat in their village.

I bought some spices that I lacked at home, and I plan to make vegetarian marinade first.

In fact, Chen Jianmin has never made braised meat. The last time he ate it was when his father was still alive, but he had seen his mother make it and helped him.

At that time, the family was in good condition. During the Chinese New Year, my mother would make some lo mei and freeze it. When I wanted to eat it, I put a little bit of it on the rice and steamed it together. When thinking about it, Chen Jianmin immediately thought of lo-mei.

After arriving home, Chen Jianmin walked straight into the stove with his things, and then saw the sweet potatoes and eggs on the stove, without being disturbed at all.

Did he turn his face and deny anyone after waking up?Thinking of Shiyu's past messes, Chen Jianmin felt headaches.The spatula was slowly stirring round and round in the big stove, and before they met again, Chen Jianmin felt that he was beginning to miss Shiyu who was as good as a kitten.

Shi Yu was awakened by a scent that punched his nose, and then he felt a burst of soreness coming out of his bones.

"I have a fever." "I can live for a few more days." When the second thought popped up, Shi Yu let his dizzy mind continue to sleep.

Chen Jianmin saw the door of the utility room which was still closed after finishing the lo mei. "Could it be that Shiyu is still lying in the room?"

As soon as this guess slipped through my mind, I pushed the door open with my hand, and the uncomfortable humming of the fish on the bed was mixed with the whistling wind, as if it was about to be broken.

Chen Jianmin took a closer look, only to realize that Shi Yu's entire face had been burned red, and his body shivered intermittently as he huddled under the quilt that didn't block the wind.Chen Jianmin quickly picked up Shi Yu and walked into his room, constantly blaming himself in his heart.

In late autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is huge. When Shiyu was rescued, it was just after noon. The sun was full, and Shiyu was so wet that it was not easy to put it on his bed, so he put it on the small bed in the grocery room.

No one stole or snatched anything in the grocery room. Chen Jianmin didn't pay attention to the torn window paper at all, and yesterday the fish was left naturally, so he didn't bother about the accommodation here. Let this kid burn for a day.

A few years ago, there was a child in the next door village who had a fever and the adults didn't notice it, but when the fever subsided, he was dumbfounded.

Chen Jianmin couldn't imagine what it would be like for such a spooky kid to be stupid.

Chen Jianmin put him on the bed and wanted to find the barefoot doctor in the village to come and see him, but Shiyu entangled him like an octopus.

"Hey, lie down for a while, uncle will let you call the doctor to come and see." Chen Jianmin's voice was rough, trying to soften his tone as much as possible.

"I'm hungry." When Shiyu was picked up, he woke up in a daze. He only felt that he was holding a big and delicious thing, like skewers, like lo mei, like all his favorite roadside stalls .

Chen Jianmin was so anxious that his neck was still sprayed with hot air.

Suddenly he felt a soft thing pressed against his neck, followed by four small canine teeth, and a little bit of pain was gently swept by a soft tongue and turned into numbness.

Chen Jianmin couldn't describe this feeling. He just felt that the fennel and star anise that were steamed just now were added to his brain, and he was poured with a spoonful of hot oil called Shiyu, which splashed, numb his five senses, and choked his mouth. Nose, unable to breathe.

The system nestled in the sea of ​​Shi Yu's consciousness watched his pure and upright male protagonist being entangled by Shi Yu, and... kissed and hugged him high, staggered and fell down on his body nautical mile.

The system pointed tremblingly at Shi Yu's eyebrows with one finger, and with the other hand, he took out a white square scarf from his small clothes to wipe away the non-existent tears, "You are shameless, you are shameless, you... Stinking rogue."

Shi Yu, who was lying in Chen Jianmin's arms, clicked his mouth, as if he didn't realize the noisy system in the sea, he only felt that he was very hungry, and there was a scent that craved him.

The hand hooking Chen Jianmin's neck climbed up again, wanting to continue enjoying it in another place.

After realizing his next move, Chen Jianmin hurriedly stuffed Shiyu into his bed.

Shi Yu struggled a bit in pain, and let out a hum that made Chen Jianmin blush. Chen Jianmin never knew before that crying out in pain could make people so bewildered.

"Uncle, I don't want to see the doctor, I'm hungry." Lying on the bed, Shi Yushao blushed and said in a soft voice, but that uncle hit Chen Jianmin's heart.

"Okay, uncle will do it for you right away." Chen Jianmin also blushed, and seemed to flee into the kitchen, no one cared about the doctor anymore.He might be sick too, a disease that doctors can't cure.
