Xiao Yishan went out for a short while and returned with two bundles of vegetables and about two jin of beef.
Xiao Yuchuan also came back carrying a load of water. As he poured the water into the tub, he asked, âSecond brother, where did you get the beef from?â
âI bought two bundles of vegetables from Aunt Zhangâs home, paying four cents. Aunt Zhang bought six jin of beef from the town yesterday, intending to eat it herself. I wanted to buy some, so Aunt Zhang sold me two jin at the original price of 13 cents per jin. I wanted to add two cents, since itâs quite a distance from the town. Aunt Zhang insisted on taking only the original price, so it was 26 cents for two jin.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAunt Zhang has always been a good person. Besides, wife is weak. Itâs time to nourish her.â Xiao Yuchuan nodded, âLetâs fry a jin in the morning.â
Actually, Xiao Yishan wanted to celebrate his wifeâs recovery, so he said, âLetâs fry all two jin of beef.â
Su Qingyue saw the look on the second brotherâs face and understood that he wanted to add some dishes for her recovery, âI appreciate your kindness, but our family isnât well-off. Letâs save a jin for tonight.â
As his wife said so, Xiao Yishan naturally wouldnât say anything more.
Su Qingyue cut the two-jin beef into two pieces. She rubbed some salt on one piece and placed it in a bowl on the stove cabinet. The other piece was washed and carefully cut on the cutting board.
Xiao Yuchuan was standing behind her, staring at her butt, âWife, your butt is so perky!â
Su Qingyue didnât react. Instead, Xiao Yishan sternly scolded with a straight face, âThird brother, watch your mouth! Donât you know Yueâer gets shy?â
Yuchuan didnât take it seriously, âSecond brother, whatâs the problem? After all, wife canât hear.â
Xiao Yishan saw that his wife didnât deny it, and only then did he realize that third brother was not aware that his wife was no longer deaf. Since his wife didnât tell him, he didnât say anything more.
Su Qingyue picked up the kitchen knife and began cutting the beef, muttering to herself as she cut, âHow come this beef looks so much like Xiao Yuchuan?â
Chuan, who had sharp ears, heard her and came over with a sad face, looking at her and then staring at the beef on the cutting board that had been cut into strips, âWife, how does this beef look like me? No matter how I look at it, it doesnât resemble me at all⦠â
She waved the knife at his face, âBoth are so in need of a good slicing.â
He immediately jumped back five steps, âWife, thatâs a knife! Knives have no eyes, be careful not to accidentally cut your husbandâs face.â
âWhat does it matter? Even if thereâs a scar, it wonât be as ugly as me. Being uglier means weâre a better match.â
Xiao Yishan stood in a corner of the kitchen and touched his disfigured left face. Then he looked at his wifeâs pustule coveredface, wondering whether he and his wife were a good match.
His wife was still good-looking. Although there were some pustules on her face, she looked delicate, and that he found pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Yuchuan smiled happily, âWife, donât worry. Even if Iâm handsome and youâre ugly, weâre still a great match.â He walked over and took the knife from her hand, âDear, let me cook the dishes later, your husband can cook delicious food. â
âThatâs because you havenât tasted the dishes I cook.â She said with pride, her cooking tasted much better than his.
âOh, wife, you can cook delicious dishes?â He finished cutting the remaining beef on the cutting board, âWhy donât you cook then?â
When he turned around, his wife had already left the kitchen.
Su Qingyue walked into the secondary bedroom, nodded at Xiao Qinghe who was on the bed, and picked up the water pot from the table.. As expected, there was just a little bit of water left in the pot,
