Chapter 67 You Are the One Who Doesn't Know How to Behave
Lighting the fire is the easiest thing. It has already been boiled once before the meal.

Now we just need to add more firewood and start burning it again and it will boil soon.

Chen Hui looked back and found that the firewood that An Wenjing brought back last time had been burned out again.

Before I went to eat, I was thinking about bringing back a load of things.

"Chen Hui, Chen Hui! Come out for a moment."

Lin Jiao's voice came from outside the house, and Chen Hui strode out the door.

Lin Jiao carried a load of firewood from home, but was blocked by people at the door.

Seeing so many people at her son-in-law's house, she couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Mom, how did you know I was short of firewood? This comes at the perfect time."

"You need to boil water to kill a pig. I calculated that you haven't gotten any firewood these days."

"Why are there so many people?" Lin Jiao asked.

"Let Wenjing tell you the details. I'll go in and light the fire first."

Chen Hui called An Wenjing, who was helping inside, to come out and explain the situation to Lin Jiao, and by the way, called Chen Guogang and Wang Hongmei to come and get the meat.

Carry the firewood into the house yourself and throw it into the firewood storage area.

He used a knife to cut the thick vines that tied the firewood together, spreading the firewood out a little. He then broke off two thin pieces of wood and stuffed them in, and soon a fire was started.

An Wenjing told Lin Jiao about Chen Hui's idea.

After hearing this, Lin Jiao nodded repeatedly and followed him in to help.

"Mom! The water in the front pot has boiled. Pour it out for the uncles and aunts." Chen Hui shouted loudly when he saw Lin Jiao coming in.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, they haven't even gotten married yet and they already call me mom so affectionately."

"You know nothing. Young people nowadays are polite. You have been married for 30 years and still call your mother-in-law "Auntie."

As soon as Chen Guogang entered the room, he immediately responded on behalf of Chen Hui.

"You still have the nerve to criticize others. Your grandson is about to be born, and you still call my dad brother."

Let’s forget about anything else, but Wang Hongmei was so angry that it was hard for her not to say anything.

Chen Hui called more than twenty households, but not only twenty people came.

After dinner, a day's work ended.

Many people came with their families. There were fifty or sixty people gathered in the hall, making it very lively.

After hearing the old couple's bickering, everyone burst into laughter again.

Lin Jiao carried a large bucket of water out.

Pour the warm water from the back pot into the front pot to continue boiling, and add cold water to the back pot.

A small stove was set up on the side and a teapot was placed on it to boil water for making tea.

"Mom, no need. How can we soak in so many people?" Chen Hui went over and reminded quietly.

"I know. I am thirsty myself."

"You go out and help, I'll just boil some water."

Lin Jiao had been hurt by the gossip in the village, so when she saw a scene of many people talking together, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

After sending Chen Hui out, she felt much more comfortable staying in the kitchen, where only people occasionally came in to chat and laugh.

As soon as Chen Hui walked out of the door, the group of people didn't give him any chance to attack.

No matter where you go, people will say, "How can you kill a pig? Just go to the side and rest."

After finishing his farm work, Chen Liping returned home and asked his wife Ding Xiaohong. She told him that since Chen Hui did not send any meat, the family's dinner was not enjoyable.

After dinner, Chen Liping smoked in the living room.

Ding Xiaohong was washing dishes in the kitchen. Both of them were paying attention to what was happening outside the door, their nerves tense, waiting for someone to call them at any time.

Ding Xiaohong was getting a little restless as she had washed all the dishes but still hadn't seen any meat.

Chen Liping heard that the people next door were very busy, so he went out to ask around. He heard that they were all there to get the meat, so he couldn't wait any longer. He went into the house and took Ding Xiaohong to Chen Hui's house.

As soon as they entered the door, Ding Xiaohong pulled Chen Hui aside and asked, "Chen Hui, where is the two kilograms of pork belly you promised to give us? Are you not going to give it to us?"

Ding Xiaohong has a loud voice and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Why is their family still here? Chen Hui, are you so powerful?" A person in the crowd who didn't like the couple in the first place said something sarcastic.

Ding Xiaohong couldn't tell whose voice was speaking, nor did she know why these people were allowed to take the meat.

He ignored them and just said to Chen Hui: "It is agreed that my wife will help you carry the pig back and give you two pounds of pork belly. You decide whether to give it or not?"

By the time Chen Liping reacted and wanted to pull his wife away, she had already finished her words.

"We are all from the same village. Why do we have to give so much for helping to carry prey?"

"Liping, you were just stingy before, why are you still fussing about it now?"

"During the autumn harvest last year, my husband helped his family carry several bags of sweet potatoes, but we didn't see even a single strand of sweet potato."

"We are all from the same village, so it is our duty to help each other. If you don't have it, then why are you bringing it up?"

"I also helped him transport fertilizer in the spring."

Ding Xiaohong married from another village, so people don't like to say anything bad about her.

Everything you said was directed at Chen Liping.

He felt so embarrassed that he didn't even bother to ask for the meat. He just pulled his wife and left.

"I won't leave! If you help to kill the pig, won't you share the meat? I heard everything in the house."

Ding Xiaohong waved her hand, shook off Chen Liping and said.

"Ding Xiaohong, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

"Chen Hui came to our house to invite us. He said he wanted to thank us for taking care of him over the years and share some of our meat?"

"What about you? What did you take care of for them?"

"I remember one time when Chen Hui went to your house, you took out all the moldy and sour sweet potato rice. Even my dog ​​wouldn't eat that stuff!"

Wang Hongmei pushed everyone away, walked to the front and said.

Over the years, she really didn't think much of Chen Hui, but she looked down on Chen Liping and his wife even more.

Too stingy, not even a bit of humanity left.

"You, what are you talking about? If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Why are you talking about all this nonsense?"

Ding Xiaohong's momentum instantly diminished a lot.

Looking at the wild boar whose skin had been cleaned and was about to be gutted, I was reluctant to leave.

"Mr. Liping, take your aunt back first."

"You saw it too. It's not that I didn't keep my promise. The pig was just slaughtered. I'll pick out two kilograms of good ones and send them to you later."

Chen Hui walked up to Chen Liping and spoke in a low voice.

"Okay, okay, thank you!"

Originally, Chen Liping had a normal attitude towards carrying pigs and getting meat, that is, he would get rewarded for his hard work.

After all this, I don't know why I felt a little guilty.

I felt inexplicably grateful to Chen Hui for telling him that he would send the meat over.

He grabbed Ding Xiaohong and walked out the door.

All the way he kept complaining that Ding Xiaohong was a bad person and didn't help him deal with relationships in the village.

He also blamed her for not knowing how to speak and making himself so embarrassed.

"Chen Liping, can you please say this to me again?!"

"If I wasn't stingy, would I be able to support such a family and run such a big family?"
