Just as Xiao Yiming left, a few villagers came.

Fortunately, his daughter-in-law didn"t come with him. Hearing these sarcastic remarks, he might have even taken it to heart.

When Xiao Yiming returned, he specifically went to regular doctor"s house. The medicinal fees that he owed regular doctor were almost a month old, so he was a little embarra.s.sed.

regular doctor"s house was rarely seen, and it was very easy to tell. When they walked into the courtyard, they saw that the yard was covered in a lot of medicinal herbs. Smoke was rising from the rooftop, probably because they were making dinner.

"Is the regular doctor here?" Xiao Yiming shouted.

"Who is it?" A woman"s voice replied. She knew it was Aunt Chang the moment she heard it.

"Aunt Chang, it"s me, Xiao Yiming."

At this moment, a middle-aged woman rubbed her hands together and came out. "Yuming, have you eaten? regular doctor went to the neighboring village to see a doctor, what business do you have? Is my family not feeling well? "

"Cough cough, about that, Aunt Chang, I came to repay you the money for the medicine. The last time regular doctor came to treat my wife, she owed me money for the medicine. I"m so sorry. Xiao Yiming said with a face full of shame.

"What"s wrong with that? I told you to deliver it yourself. Why don"t you just hand it over first?" Aunt Chang was a warm-hearted person. She knew the difficulties of the Xiao family.

"Aunt Xie Chang. I came to buy some fish this time, so I brought them here as well. Here."

Xiao Yiming counted out 50 copper coins and gave them to her, then pa.s.sed two more fish over: "Aunt, I just bought these fish, I"ll give you two, is it fresh?"

"How can I accept this? "It"s not easy at home, how could I take advantage of you?" This fish was really fresh, and she hadn"t eaten it in a while.

"There"s no need to be courteous. Aunt, don"t be courteous to me. I won"t even dare to owe you medicine next time." Xiao Yiming went to the kitchen along the familiar path and put the fish in the wooden basin: "Aunt, don"t be so polite, I see that you haven"t cooked yet, so you can eat tonight."

"Then thank you, Yi Ming."

"Okay, then I"ll leave first."

"Sigh. "Okay, thank you, Yiming."

At this time, when Xiao Yiming returned home, he saw that his family"s chimney had stopped smoking. He knew that Xiao Niang had finished cooking.

He shouted before he even entered, "Mother, I"m back!"

"It"s here! It"s also clear that you will be taking a rest. Mother, come and wash the fish."

"Mom, I"m not tired. Let me do it." Xiao Yiming took a stone board and a wooden basin from the house.

"En, I"ll get one tonight. I"ll raise one tonight." The Xiao Niang filled a basin with water and placed a fish into the water to be raised.

This way, he could go to the fields tomorrow to pick a bunch of vegetables, and the vegetables tomorrow would be ready.

Xiao Yiming placed the fish on the stone floor, shaved off the fish phosphorus, used a kitchen knife to cut open the fish"s stomach, took out its internal organs, and finally cut three times on each side of the fish to clean them.

Luo Manman would come to the courtyard to collect the clothes, and see that he was always diligent in her work. It seemed that in the days of poverty, as long as there was even a little bit of sweetness, he would be very satisfied.

Xiao Yiming was very serious, he was very proficient at washing fish, with his eyelashes drooping, looking very charming when he was serious.

He felt the gaze of someone looking at him, so he looked up and met Luo Manman"s gaze directly. He grinned brilliantly: "My wife, why are you staring at me? Did you discover that your husband is very good-looking? "

"Stupid." Xiao Yiming, you are getting more and more improper. " When I first met him, I would blush at his shy words.

Now, he realized that he was getting more and more thick-skinned. Sometimes, he would even act coquettishly, as if he was a completely different person from before.

"Hehe, to be honest, you call that stinky beauty? "Wife." Xiao Yiming laughed, seeing her take back her clothes, he said: "Does my wife want to eat steamed meat or braised meat?"

"Whatever. You sound like you"re cooking."

"Hehe, my wife is really smart. Even if your husband wants to cook, I think we should braise it. Wife, wait a moment. I"ll immediately go cook the fish. " Xiao Yiming entered the house and carried a small pile of firewood inside.

Luo Manman, who had finished folding her clothes inside the house, came to the kitchen and saw Xiao Niang throwing firewood into the kitchen to pull the wind.

Looking at the bright red fire illuminating the wall, Xiao Yiming knew that the fire was strong. He also poured oil onto the smoking pot as if it was some proper oil, with the chopped ginger and spring onion on the cutting board.

When the oil was hot, the big hands dropped the washed fish, and the pot began to sputter.

Xiao Yiming held the wooden spatula and turned it over. When the fish skin was slightly tender, he sprinkled some yellow wine on it and added a little brown sugar. Then, he added some salt and scooped some water into the pot, covering the pot with the lid.

"Wife, wash your hands. You can eat it now." Xiao Yiming pursed his lips and laughed.

It was rare to buy a fish, so he had to make it taste delicious and let his wife have a taste of his craftsmanship.

"Right." Luo Manman placed the tableware on the table, and after a while, a fragrant Red Braised Fish would appear on the table.

At this moment, she couldn"t help but sniff, "It"s quite fragrant." He started praising the other party loudly with a smile on his face. This fellow was truly capable.

When he heard his stomach growling, Luo Manman cursed himself silently. He acted like he had never eaten fish before, sigh.

The evening dishes were fairly rich, including braised fish, bean curd milk and vegetables.

The Xiao Niang was all smiles as he said, "Alright, don"t just stand there. Eat, you all must be hungry."

"Come, Manman, eat more fish." Xiao Niang hurriedly picked up the piece of fish belly meat that was the most important and put it into her bowl.

"Hmm, the taste is really good. I can"t tell that you"re quite good at cooking fish." Her praise almost made Xiao Yiming"s eyebrows jump.

He took a mouthful of the rice and spoke without hesitation, "Of course. I only cook very rarely. I can"t help but feel that my culinary skills are excellent."

"Alright, Yiming, continue bragging." Xiao Niang also stuffed a piece of fish into his bowl. "Even eating fish can"t stop your mouth."

"Hehe, of course, my culinary skills are still far from mother"s. Fortunately, my wife doesn"t mind."

Xiao Yiming"s appet.i.te was quite large, he needed to eat two bowls for one meal. Tonight"s dishes were pretty good, so he ate an extra bowl.

After dinner, the fish on the table was eaten up by the three until only their bones were left.

At night, the oil lamp on the table emitted a weak light, and the two of them continued to wrap themselves in their blankets as they sat in kang and chatted.

At this time, Luo Manman turned her head and spoke to him with her entire body: "Yi Ming, the market is going to be in two days. Let"s go and catch up with the market."

"En, that"s good too, it"s almost at the end of the month. I only went there once this month, but during this period of time, I only made wooden jars, the other wood products did not do much."

"It"s fine, I"ll sell as much as I can. Besides, I"ll mainly go to the town to see if there are any other markets for whitening mud."

"Oh right, my wife, I"ve found a problem. What should I say?"

"What do you think?"

"Have you noticed that the whitening mud didn"t stay in there for long? It would only last for seven or eight days in the small wooden jar." Xiao Yiming said with a frown.

"Yeah, I noticed it too, so I"ll have to buy some mud jars to seal up my mouth and place in the shade this time."

The most important thing was to open a market, the whitening mud production was simple, as long as one understood some pharmacology, a village with a bit of common sense would quickly solve it.

"Also, our garden doesn"t have many tomatoes. There will be a day when they run out, when we"ll have to buy them."

"Mm, that"s all talk in the future, but we still have to prepare first." These few days, there were people who came to the Xiao Clan one after another to buy whitening mud s.

Well, after a while, she would have to think of something else to replace it. She wanted to have more pleasing fruits and vegetables.

"En, go to sleep early. Wife, we"ll talk about it the day after tomorrow." Xiao Yiming helped her cover himself and looked at her daughter-in-law again, her eyes filled with love.

A daughter-in-law was a typical type of sleeping type. Once they were in a pit, they would immediately fall asleep. One of his hands touched his daughter-in-law"s face that was getting whiter and whiter.

The night didn"t seem long...

"Early morning the next day, Luo Manman woke up and went to the kitchen. She saw the Xiao Niang scooping up a bowl of porridge and saying:" Manman has woken up and is heading to the vegetable garden.

The Xiao family had no land, so naturally, they had to take care of these vegetables.

Luo Manman ate breakfast, in one hand was a vegetable basket and in the other a sheepskin bag of water.

When he walked to the garden, he saw Xiao Yiming loosening the soil and watering the cuc.u.mbers from afar.

At this time, he bent his body and waved his hoe to dig the ground a few times. When he saw Luo Manman coming, he immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Wifey, why have you come?"

Luo Manman shook the water in his hand and laughed: "I came to the market early in the morning to busy myself, are you thirsty? Come and have some water. "

"My wife treats me so well, hur hur." Xiao Yiming picked up the water bag and started to gulp down the water. As he gulped down the water, his Adam"s apple bobbed up and down, making him look extremely manly.

"Wife, the photos will start soon. You should go back."

At this time, w.a.n.g Ergou who was carrying a hoe walked past, laughing sloppily: "Ah, you two are so soft everywhere, that the husband and wife is so envious of the dead.

"Yuming, what did you think of about what I asked you last time?"

Xiao Yiming was annoyed when he saw him, and he said, "I don"t remember."

"Fine, when do you remember, tell me." He stole a glance at Luo Manman and ran towards her own vegetable patch.

A few fields were quite a distance away, Xiao Yiming decided to water them before going to the other fields to loosen up the soil.

After a while, the sun had risen high in the sky. Xiao Yiming helped Luo Manman pick some tomatoes and cuc.u.mbers, and gave her the vegetable basket.

"Wife, it"s too hot. You should go back first. I"ll go to the other fields and grind up the soil. I"ll be right back."

Luo Manman gave the water bag to him: "I"ll leave this water for you. Alright then, come back earlier.

"Alright, daughter-in-law." Xiao Yiming intimately caressed her hair and carried the hoe towards the other direction.

Seeing Xiao Yiming"s figure slowly become invisible, a w.a.n.g Ergou dressed in coa.r.s.e clothes sneakily stuck his head out.
