For Face
Wang Zhaodi was thinking about how many days Feng Wuzhu would stay when he came back this time. He was a half-aged boy and must have eaten a lot. He also had to use rice and flour at home. It was not that Wang Zhaodi despised Feng Wuzhu for coming back to eat for free. As the saying goes, he would eat and drink endlessly. Only if he couldn't make up for it would be poor. Besides, Feng Wuzhu seemed to be doing well outside, and he would think he would bring her some filial piety. No matter what, dealing with people with higher status and development than her will never suffer any loss.
Wang Zhaodi thought about this and came to the kitchen.
Zhang sat on the threshold and ate melon seeds, while Feng Juhua wiped the pot.
When Zhang saw Wang Zhaodi, he stood up quickly with a smirk on his face: "Mother-in-law, when did you come?"
"What, do I have to tell you when I come to the kitchen?" Wang Zhaodi looked down on Zhang. Zhang has now become greedy and lazy and doesn't like to work. When she is free, she sits on the threshold to eat melon seeds.
However, Wang Zhaodi decided not to argue with her for the time being, seeing Zhang's slightly raised belly.
Zhang also knew her advantages: "Mom, she is really hungry in my stomach, so I often eat snacks. I am afraid that the child will have an accident, so I dare not work, and the third sister doesn't let me do it."
After Zhang finished speaking, he said to Feng Juhua:
"Sister Three, are you not letting me do it?"
After hearing Zhang's words, Feng Juhua looked up dullly and said, "Yes, I won't let my sister-in-law do it."
Wang Zhaodi looked at Zhang and didn't say anything. She was too lazy to talk to Zhang, so she turned to Feng Juhua and said, "Your fifth brother is back, and you'll have two steamed buns at noon."
After Wang Zhaodi finished speaking, she was afraid that Feng Wuzhu, who had seen the world outside, looked down on the living conditions of the Feng family, so she said to Feng Juhua again: "Go to the vegetable field to cut two handfuls of leeks, add an egg, and make a fried egg with leeks."
After saying that, Wang Zhaodi paused and said, "Plant another handful of beans, go to the village entrance to make a pound of meat, and make a fried beans."
Wang Zhaodi said, feeling very painful. She has never been exposed to meat since she traveled through time. It’s not that she doesn’t like meat, but she is not easy to speak. Every day she takes Da Ya around the village and passes by the butcher shop at the entrance of the village and looks at her. However, she never says to eat a pound, because she is afraid that people will say she is greedy, and she still wants to enjoy it at such an old age.
Now Wang Zhaodi happened to use Feng Wuzhu to speak up some meat to get some fishy smell.
But after Wang Zhaodi finished speaking, she felt the flesh hurt again, and this pound of meat costs ten cents.
However, since she didn't want Feng Wuzhu to look down on her, she could only grit her teeth and do so.
When Zhang heard Wang Zhaodi say this, his eyes lit up: "Mom, you are so nice to your fifth brother. The fifth brother will make him meat for him when he comes back for the first time." After Zhang said that, he said with a little regret: "The child in my belly is not as blessed as my fifth brother."
Wang Zhaodi glanced at Zhang and did not answer her words. Then she said to Feng Juhua: "Go to the village ahead to make a pot of wine."
Wang Zhaodi thought that since she bought meat, she should not be stingy with buying wine. Since she wanted to pretend to be rich, she should pretend to be more like her.
Wang Zhaodi said here, her heart was bleeding.
She took out a cloth bag from her arms, opened it, and counted twenty cents from it, and said to Feng Juhua: "Don't spend it randomly, take the rest back to me."
"Don't think about getting bored privately. If I let me know, I won't deal with you."
Wang Zhaodi explained with some concern.
Feng Juhua was so scared when she heard Wang Zhaodi's words. She shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, I can't."
"That's better."
Wang Zhaodi said to Feng Juhua, saying, "If you listen to me, you will naturally benefit you. If you dare to go against me, you will not get a good result."
Wang Zhaodi looked at Feng Juhua fiercely.
Then put the copper coin in Feng Juhua's hand.
Wang Zhaodi was still a little worried and said to Feng Juhua: "You have to listen to your mother, this is the best."
Wang Zhaodi nodded repeatedly.
Wang Zhaodi was satisfied and said, "You go."
Feng Juhua hurriedly walked out.
While watching Feng Juhua walk outside, Zhang did not forget to put the melon seeds in his mouth. He didn't know what to do in his heart. Wang Zhaodi ignored her and walked into the yard with Da Ya.
Wang Zhaodi hugged Da Ya and basked in the yard for a while. Seeing Da Ya squint her eyes and was about to sleep, Wang Zhaodi hugged Da Ya and went to sleep in the house.
When Wang Zhaodi arrived at the inner room, she saw Feng Wuzhu still asleep with a tilted cabinet.
Wang Zhaodi muttered in a low voice: "I just knew I was going to sleep, but it turned out that I came home to sleep."
When Da Ya heard the movement, she twisted her body uneasy.
Wang Zhaodi hurriedly stopped talking, pulled over the pillow and small mattress, let Da Ya lie on it, and then took the quilt to cover her.
Da Ya showed her stable sleeping face.
Wang Zhaodi liked it very much after seeing it.
She turned to see Feng Wuzhu and saw Feng Wuzhu sleeping with his body tilted, without any covering. Wang Zhaodi was afraid that Feng Wuzhu would wake up and saw Da Ya covering her with a quilt, but he didn't. She complained about this, so she had to take a bed from the quilt on the kang cabinet and cover it on Feng Wuzhu.
After doing all this, Wang Zhaodi felt helpless and said, "I really owe him what I do. Why do I have to give birth to a child? Is it just to be a cow and a horse for them? But it's really a big trouble."
Then she went to see Da Ya again, liked it in her heart, and said, "Da Ya is different. Da Ya is my little cotton jacket. I am happy no matter how much I do for Da Ya."
Seeing that Da Ya was sleeping soundly, Wang Zhaodi made her sleepy. So Wang Zhaodi pulled the pillow and covered the quilt, and slept next to Da Ya.
After about a quarter of an hour, Feng Wuzhu slowly opened his eyes.
This is the heaviest and best slept in the years.
Before this, he would never stop running in his sleep, as if some devil was chasing him from behind. So in order to sleep well, he often had to make himself very tired. He worked hard, ran around without touching the ground, or drank a lot of wine to make himself tired and fall asleep.
This is the first time he has fallen asleep without knowing it.
He opened his eyes and saw Wang Zhaodi and Da Ya sleeping in the middle of the kang, and felt very peaceful inside. This feeling was something he hadn't had for many years.
It seems that all this is all his struggle. He is willing to indulge in the warmth of the moment. No matter how much he suffers or how tired he is outside, he is willing to give everything to exchange for peace of mind at this moment. The glory and wealth he pursues are nothing more than surface, and the inner happiness is his most real desire in his heart. He knows that if he wants to enjoy this inner peace, he must fight outside. This is his dignity as a man.
Of course, what he didn't know was that the warmth and peace in front of him was not for him, but Wang Zhaodi's love and protection for Daya, but so what? For Feng Wuzhu, he didn't care because he lacked the warmth that could calm people's hearts. He was unwilling to think too much, he was just greedy like a child, desperate and willing to give everything to desire.
