Siheyuan: Domineering life

Chapter 161 Ma Xiangxiu cooks
After getting in the car, Yang Jun looked through the rearview mirror and saw the two of them nervous and excited.

Especially Ma Xiangxiu, it was her first time to ride in a car, and she didn’t know how her butt was sitting. She was touching here and there, her little eyes looking around, looking at this bustling city through the street lights from time to time. Metropolis.

Everything in the city was new to her, a rural girl. There were many things she had never seen before. She opened her mouth and wanted to ask Yang Anguo several times, but she didn't dare to ask for fear of being laughed at.

Although Yang Anguo had been to the city before and it was not the first time he took a car, he was very excited. From the moment he got off the train, he knew that he would be a city dweller eating commercial food from now on. He is going to live in this city.

Yang Jun looked at the two of them holding each other's arms in the rearview mirror, nervous and excited, and felt that it was worth doing all this. At least he could make up for his father's debt to his second uncle's family.

If it weren't for the second uncle's family taking care of his grandparents in his hometown, his father Yang Gui wouldn't be able to have a stable job in Sijiu City, so he should do these things for the second uncle's family.

At the same time, Yang Jun was thinking that he must take time to go back to his hometown in Shanxi to take a look.

Take a look at the place where his father Yang Gui grew up.

Take a look at his grandparents whom he has never met.

Return to Jinshuiqiao Courtyard.

Yi Qiushui had already fallen asleep. Yang Jun did not wake him up, but directly arranged the two of them in the bedroom in the east wing. He went back to the room and brought two quilts to them.

Yang Jun saw that it was getting late, told them to go to bed early, and then went back to his room to sleep.

When Yang Jun got up in the middle of the night, he passed by the east wing and vaguely heard the two people muttering inside.

Yang Jun shook his head, these two people were in such good spirits.

But he can also understand that anyone who has good things coming soon will be too excited to sleep.

After draining the water, Yang Jun went back to sleep.

……

Early the next morning.

Yang Jun and Yi Qiushui got up, only to find that the two people had already gotten up.

Yang Anguo was taking a broom to clean the yard. When he saw Yang Jun and others getting up, he quickly greeted,
"Brother, sister-in-law, hurry up and wash up and eat. Xiangxiu has prepared the meal."

As soon as he got up early in the morning, Yang Jun told them about Yang Anguo and Ma Xiangxiu living in their house.

Seeing this, Yi Qiushui smiled and said, "Anguo, why did you get up so early? You rode in the car all day yesterday, why didn't you get more sleep?"

Yang Anguo smiled honestly and said: "Sister-in-law, I have long been used to it. If I were in the village, I would have started work by this time."

Yang Jun rolled his eyes at him, and then said: "Anguo, I don't care what time you got up in the village, but here, if you wake me up before 07:30, see how I clean up."

Yang Anguo raised the broom in his hand and said with a smile, "Brother, I didn't make any noise."

The two went to the bathroom to wash up, and happened to meet Ma Xiangxiu coming out of the kitchen.

After she called out "Brother", she looked at Yi Qiushui in shock.

Yi Qiushui felt embarrassed when she looked at her, so she smiled and said, "Is there something dirty on my face?"

Ma Xiangxiu quickly shook her head and said, "No, it's just... I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be so beautiful."

"It's not as beautiful as my sister said. I...I haven't washed up yet." Yi Qiushui ran into the bathroom with a blushing face.

Although she said polite words, Yang Jun still caught a glimpse of the proud smile on the corner of her mouth.

To Ma Xiangxiu, Yi Qiushui was like a fairy from heaven, and she was like an ugly duckling. Although she could be considered a village beauty in their village, compared with Yi Qiushui, she was nothing.

The difference between urban people and rural people is not only reflected in the clothes they wear, but also in their temperament, especially the bookish aroma of Yi Qiushui, which is even more charming.

On the table.

A plate of freshly made steamed buns, a plate of spicy cabbage, a plate of radish, and then a foreign pot of stick porridge.

There are only kitchen utensils and no ingredients at home. I don’t know how long it took Ma Xiangxiu to get up. I don’t know how she found the vegetable market. I don’t know how she figured out the time for Yang Jun and the others to wake up and prepare a decent meal early in the morning. breakfast.

"Xiangxiu's cooking skills are good."

Yang Jun took a sip of stick porridge, and it tasted smooth. It didn't make his throat irritate like Wang Yuying and Yang Mei did.

Even Yi Qiushui, who never liked drinking stick porridge, was brightened.

"It's really good. Sister, how did you get the fever?"

Ma Xiangxiu was a little embarrassed by the praise, and said with a red face: "I taught you, but I don't really have any tips. I just add more water, and boiling it slowly for two hours on low heat will make it less painful, but... my family can't bear to give up firewood. , but you can't make such delicious porridge." Yang Anguo was happily drinking stick porridge and showing off: "Xiangxiu is the chef of our village. He is invited to cook all the official and official events in the village. Xiangxiu She went to college with him since she was a child, so she learned how to cook well.”

Yang Jun was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect Ma Xiangxiu to get up so early. He first went to the store to buy stick noodles, and then stayed on the stove for two hours.

Hey, this is a diligent girl.

Yang Anguo didn't know how lucky he was to be able to marry such a good mother-in-law.

But when they heard that Ma Xiangxiu was good at cooking, Yang Jun and Yi Qiushui seemed to have a tacit understanding. They looked at each other and felt that it was time to find someone in the family who could cook.

Yang Jun drank porridge and pickles and asked calmly: "Xiangxiu, if you want to go to work, I can help you think of a way."

When Ma Xiangxiu heard this, she quickly put down her chopsticks, waved her hands and said,

"I won't go. In our village, women are not allowed to show their faces. What's more... the factories are all men."

Ma Xiangxiu observed Yang Anguo's expression while talking.

"Hey, look what you said, didn't your sister-in-law also show up?"

"That's different. My sister-in-law is from the city and educated. What's more, there are many women in the place where my sister-in-law works."

Yang Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly. This backward idea of ​​men being outsiders and women being domestics has long been ingrained in their minds and cannot be changed in a short time.

He didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, so he went straight to the point and said to Ma Xiangxiu,
"You two will live here from now on. Anguo will be my driver and drive for me every day. As for you... just help us clean, wash clothes and cook. What do you think?"

"Oh, don't worry, I won't let you work in vain. I will give you 20 yuan a month as salary."

When Ma Xiangxiu heard this, she waved her hands and said: "Brother, please don't pay me. We stay at your house for food and accommodation. We should do some work. If you pay me again, I...I won't be poked by anyone." He cursed down his spine."

In their perception, they feel that eating from others, living with others, and helping with some work should be their fair share. If they ask for money again, they will be scolded.

But Yang Jun and Yi Qiushui didn't think so. They had to pay someone to work for them. They were brothers who settled the accounts. Even though they were a family, there was no reason why they worked for nothing.

What's more, if you hire a nanny, you can't take care of food and housing?

Even without Ma Xiangxiu, Yang Jun would have to hire a nanny.

Neither he nor Yi Qiushui were the kind of diligent people. They couldn't cook, wash clothes, and needed someone to do housework. They had long planned to hire a nanny.

When they were at the old house, a lot of dirty clothes that the two of them had changed out of were not washed. Later, Yang Mei couldn't bear it anymore, so she washed them for them.

Although Yang Jun knew how to wash clothes before, someone did it for him when he was in the army. Over the past ten years, his limbs have degenerated and he has long forgotten how to wash clothes.

However, everyone is like this.

This is inertia.

When you have the conditions, don't do anything if you can't do it.

Both of them have to go to work every day, and they can't spend all their wages, so these trivial tasks can only be left to others.

"Didn't you say that when you get here, you will obey me in everything?"

"That's the deal. You help us with the housework, and we'll pay you 20 yuan a month."

Yang Jun knew that it would not work to discuss it with them, so he decided to make a decision directly.

Ma Xiangxiu: "But..."

Yang Anguo: "..."

Yang Jun waved his hand and motioned for them to eat, and the matter was settled.

After eating, Yang Jun took some money and tickets and gave them to Ma Xiangxiu.

From now on, all the food at home will be given to her.

But he set a rule for Ma Xiangxiu: out of four dishes a day, two must be meat dishes.
