Chapter 173 The weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken. This good day is like a dream.

"Aunt Xiaohong, why are you here?" An Wenjing blurted out.

"What? You don't welcome me?"

Ding Xiaohong smiled in a feigned way.

It's obvious from his expression and posture that he learned it from Wang Hongmei.

Because I'm not used to it, my movements and expressions are a bit exaggerated, and the performance is quite obvious.

"Of course not." An Wenjing smiled awkwardly and looked at Chen Hui in confusion.

"Aunt Xiaohong, come here. Is there something wrong?" Chen Hui didn't understand either.

Although they lived next door to each other, there was very little interaction between the two families.

The last time Ding Xiaohong came to her house was because the meat that she promised to give to Chen Liping had not been delivered.

It was at least five or six years ago that I last returned to my home.

"It's okay. It's just that the pear tree at home is harvesting fruit. I'll bring one over for you."

As Ding Xiaohong spoke, she hesitated between Chen Hui and An Wenjing, and handed the pear in her hand to An Wenjing.

He said, "I'll leave first. Come to my house when you have time," but he walked away in a hurry, looking very guilty.

"."

"."

Chen Hui and An Wenjing looked at each other, both of them seemed confused.

"Brother Chen Hui, why don't you go over and take a look, is there something wrong with Li Pingbo?"

An Wenjing looked at the pear in her hand and said.

"I won't go! It's definitely not a good thing if Ding Xiaohong can deliver something." Chen Hui shook his head.

"Then keep this one!"

"A man who eats someone's food should be grateful, and a man who takes someone's money should be grateful. If you need anything, we can keep the fruit so that you can refuse." An Wenjing handed the pear to Chen Hui.

If it were someone else, it would be fine.

Ding Xiaohong is well-known in the village for being stingy, and her stinginess has become more and more exaggerated over the years.

The things she brought made An Wenjing feel like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken.

"Do you think she wants to borrow money?" Chen Hui guessed as he took the pear.

"I won't lend it to her!" An Wenjing said firmly.

Thinking of what Wang Hongmei said last time, that Chen Hui wanted to eat for free and Ding Xiaohong cooked moldy sweet potato rice for him, An Wenjing wanted to curse.

You can refuse, but don't insult me ​​like that.

"of course!"

"Okay, go lie down quickly, you should be able to eat soon."

"There will be meat tonight." Chen Hui waved his hand and asked An Wenjing to go back and rest.

I went back to the kitchen, boiled a pot of water on the charcoal stove, and cooked the three kinds of brown sugar in the pot.

Add two tablespoons of brown sugar and stir until it melts. Keep it warm in the pot and have a bowl of it hot after dinner.

You can sleep well at night.

"Wow! Brother-in-law, what are you eating behind my back that smells so good?"

An Wenyi came to invite the two of them to have dinner.

As soon as I entered the door, I was attracted by the aroma of red dates wafting around the house, and I ran towards the kitchen with my short legs.

Seeing the empty kitchen, he asked in confusion, “Huh?”

"It must have come from someone else's house, maybe Uncle Liping's house. Why don't you go and take a look?" Chen Hui said with a smile.

"No, Uncle Liping is the most stingy."

"Let's go, let's go, let's go home and eat, mom cooked super delicious meat and chicken mushrooms."

Speaking of food, An Wenyi stomped her feet excitedly.

Holding Chen Hui in one hand and An Wenjing, who was hunched over due to stomachache, in the other, he skipped back home.

I made some oil today and now there is a big bowl of lard residue at home.

Lin Jiao put some on a plate and sprinkled some dried chilies that Chen Hui liked on it. One plate of stir-fried pork and one plate of stir-fried chicken and mushrooms.

Plus a bowl of pickled vegetable soup.

A month ago, we had to save even sweet potato rice at home, and we only had meat on New Year’s Eve and the three days before the New Year.

Now we can not only eat white rice every day, but also meat and vegetables.

Lin Jiao looked at the food on the table and felt like she was dreaming.

"Mom, what are you doing?" An Wenjing waved her hand in front of Lin Jiao and asked.

"Ah?! You're back? So soon?!" Lin Jiao came back to her senses and said with a smile.

"Wenjing has called you several times. What are you thinking about?" Chen Hui asked with a smile.

"Chen Hui, is there anything I can do at home?"

"How about you leave your clothes to me to wash from now on? How about that?" Lin Jiao looked at Chen Hui and asked.

"I can wash clothes, Mom, what's wrong with you?" An Wenjing asked puzzledly.

"Did Li Alian from next door say something again? Just wait, I'm going to cause trouble for her right now."

Chen Hui sat down, then stood up and spoke.

"No, no, sit back down."

Lin Jiao quickly pulled the man back, smiled and said, "I just feel uneasy when I eat your rice and meat."

"Mom, why do you think so? Brother Chen Hui is not the kind of person who cares about things."

An Wenjing felt a little helpless, but more heartbroken.

Lin Jiao's cautiousness is forced by life.

"Okay, stop talking about our mom."

"When you start working, we can go home for dinner every day. If you give her a little grandson to take care of, she will feel at ease."

Chen Hui pulled An Wenjing and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, give birth to two babies quickly, mom will take care of everything!" Lin Jiao agreed repeatedly.

"Can we eat now? I'm almost starving." Chen Hui said as he sat down.

"Eat, eat. My good son-in-law is hungry."

Lin Jiao said with a smile and filled a large bowl of compacted rice for Chen Hui.

While the family was eating, they talked about going to the rich woman's house to attend the full moon banquet today.

Hearing that so many people were going to go out to sea with Chen Hui, An Wenjing said, "Why don't I not go? This is a business trip after all, isn't it a bit inappropriate to take me with you?"

"Let's go. Isn't Ms. Huang's niece going there to play as well?"

"If you go there, you can help Chen Hui with some work. Are you going to let those young ladies do it?" Lin Jiao interrupted and held An Wenjing's wrist and looked at her meaningfully.

An Wenjing didn't quite understand her meaning and looked at Lin Jiao blankly.

"What mom means is, I'm very popular, so you have to keep a close eye on me and don't let others take advantage of me." Chen Hui said with a smile.

"No, no, Mom absolutely believes you!"

The voice-over that An Wenjing didn't notice was noticed by Chen Hui.

Lin Jiao was extremely embarrassed and denied it flatly.

"Hahahaha, there's no such thing as a county town. That makes sense! I want to go too!"

An Wenjing changed the subject and looked at Chen Hui and said.

"Okay, let's go together. I'll tell them that my wife is very beautiful, and they are also very curious." Chen Hui said with a smile.

When An Wenjing heard that Chen Hui took the initiative to talk about himself, she smiled with relief.

After returning home from dinner, Chen Hui handed the three-red soup in the pot to An Wenjing and watched her eat the whole bowl.

After a simple wash, I went to bed early.

Early the next morning.

Chen Hui rushed to Dasha Village with An Wenjing before the fishing boats returned to the port, and waited for Wu Shuisheng at the dock.

"Chen Hui? What are you doing here? To help with the work?!" Wu Guang saw Chen Hui at a glance and joked as he got off the boat.
