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, “Second brother, where did you get the beef from?”
“I bought two bundles of vegetables from Aunt Zhang’s 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 it’s quite a distance from the town. Aunt Zhang insisted on taking only the original price, so it was 26 cents for two jin.”
“Aunt Zhang has always been a good person. Besides, wife is weak. It’s time to nourish her.” Xiao Yuchuan nodded, “Let’s fry a jin in the morning.”
Actually, Xiao Yishan wanted to celebrate his wife’s recovery, so he said, “Let’s fry all two jin of beef.”
Su Qingyue saw the look on the second brother’s face and understood that he wanted to add some dishes for her recovery, “I appreciate your kindness, but our family isn’t well-off. Let’s save a jin for tonight.”
As his wife said so, Xiao Yishan naturally wouldn’t 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, ‘Wife, your butt is so perky!”
Su Qingyue didn’t react. Instead, Xiao Yishan sternly scolded with a straight face, “Third brother, watch your mouth! Don’t you know Yue’er gets shy?”
Yuchuan didn’t take it seriously, “Second brother, what’s the problem? After all, wife can’t hear.”
Xiao Yishan saw that his wife didn’t deny it, and only then did he realize that third brother was not aware that his wife was no longer deaf. Since his wife didn’t tell him, he didn’t say anything more.
Su Qingyue picked up the kitchen knife and began cutting the beef, muttering to herself as she cut, “How come this beef looks so much like Xiao Yuchuan?”
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, ‘Wife, how does this beef look like me? No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t resemble me at all… ”
She waved the knife at his face, “Both are so in need of a good slicing.”
He immediately jumped back five steps, “Wife, that’s a knife! Knives have no eyes, be careful not to accidentally cut your husband’s face.”
‘What does it matter? Even if there’s a scar, it won’t be as ugly as me. Being uglier means we’re a better match.”
Xiao Yishan stood in a corner of the kitchen and touched his disfigured left face. Then he looked at his wife’s 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, “Wife, don’t worry. Even if I’m handsome and you’re ugly, we’re still a great match.” He walked over and took the knife from her hand, “Dear, let me cook the dishes later, your husband can cook delicious food. ”
“That’s because you haven’t tasted the dishes I cook.” She said with pride, her cooking tasted much better than his.
“Oh, wife, you can cook delicious dishes?” He finished cutting the remaining beef on the cutting board, ‘Why don’t you cook then?”
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,
