Chapter 52 Husband, is this okay?
"Brother-in-law!"
Before he reached home, the little kid came up to him, opened his arms, and tried to hug Chen Jie.
Chen Jie also smiled and said to the little kid, "Do you miss your brother-in-law?"
"Think about it!"
"Is this true? You didn't lie to your brother-in-law, did you?"
"Liar is a puppy!"
Xiao Douding said affirmatively.
"Well, I believe you."
Chen Jie said with a smile, and looked up, he saw Su Yunjin standing there at the door. She had just finished her work, her hair was slightly disheveled, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off her face.
"My husband is back."
She spoke gently to her husband.
Chen Jie smiled and said, “Yeah.”
"Why did you buy so many things again?"
"I went to town and bought some when I saw that my family needed it."
The three of them went into the house and started to carry things into the house. Chen Jie saw Su Yunjin sweating and there was a hoe in the yard and asked, "Are you working at home?"
"This yard is just sitting there, so I'll turn it over. Then I can buy some rapeseed and plant some vegetables, which will be enough for our family to eat."
Chen Jie said: "That's fine, but don't get too tired."
Su Yunjin thought for a moment and said, "Husband, I, I want you to take me to the town."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"I want to sell a few chicks and ducks and raise them so that we can have chicken and duck eggs to eat in the future."
"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow and take you to town."
"Brother-in-law, I want to go too."
"Okay, I'll take you too."
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
After saying that, Su Yunjin walked into the house and poured a glass of water for Chen Jie. He was really thirsty and drank it all in one gulp.
Then Chen Jie took out the meat buns and roast chicken he had bought today.
Seeing the food, Xiao Douding’s eyes almost popped out and he hugged Chen Jie: “Thank you, brother-in-law, you are the best.”
Chen Jie laughed and said, "Is it bad if I don't buy you something delicious?"
The little kid hesitated.
After a long while, he said reluctantly, "Alright, that's fine."
"You little heartless thing."
Chen Jie scratched the little kid's nose, and the little kid smiled heartlessly.
Su Yunjin said from the side: "Husband, don't spoil her all the time. She's used to it and even sorghum rice doesn't taste good."
Little Dou Ding heard this and said, "Sister, you are talking nonsense. Ruirui likes sorghum rice the most."
Chen Jie said: "Well, since Ruirui likes sorghum rice so much, my wife, you can make a pot of sorghum rice for Ruirui to eat, and we will eat roast chicken and meat buns."
"Ah, no!"
The little bean shouted urgently.
Chen Jie teased her intentionally: "What's wrong with that? You said you love sorghum rice the most, so these meat buns and roast chicken, sister and brother-in-law can have them."
"Actually, Ruirui doesn't like eating sorghum rice that much anymore."
The little bean said weakly, and then stared at Chen Jie with his big eyes blinking, "Meat bun, just give one to Ruirui, brother-in-law... Ruirui promises not to eat too much."
The little kid raised his hand and swore.
Chen Jie smiled.
Su Yunjin also laughed.
This little greedy cat
The three of them had a very enjoyable dinner. After dinner, Chen Jie took out two new sets of clothes from a cloth bag beside him.
"Madam, Ruirui, come here."
When Su Yunjin heard the call, she wiped her hands from washing dishes with a rag. Ruirui also came to the outer room and saw the clothes in Chen Jie's hands.
"Wow, new clothes!"
The little bean cheered and rushed over.
A hint of surprise also appeared on Su Yunjin's face, but it quickly disappeared.
"Madam, come here and see if you like it." Chen Jie said to Su Yunjin with a smile.
"Husband, I don't go out, why are you buying me new clothes? Our family is not well off now..."
Su Yunjin touched the fabric of the clothes and couldn't let it go, but she was complaining.
Chen Jie asked: "Do you like it?"
“It’s very expensive.”
Su Yunjin asked back, and Chen Jie said, "It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not, it's just whether you like it or not."
"Of course I like it, sister, sister, do you think I'll look good in this skirt?"
The little girl tried the new skirt on herself and turned around on the ground.
Su Yunjin said, "Don't turn around, your skirt will get dirty if it drags on the ground."
Xiao Douding stopped, hugged Chen Jie excitedly and kissed him: "Thank you, brother-in-law!"
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Well, Ruirui is still grateful and repays his kindness, unlike some people who don't show any gratitude?"
The little bean looked at his sister with wide eyes.
Being stared at by these two eyes, one big and one small, Su Yunjin's face turned red instantly, and then she ran to the inner room with her clothes.
Seeing this, Chen Jie asked, “Hey, you’re just running away like this?”
Su Yunjin did not answer.
Chen Jie looked at the little kid again and said, "We won't learn from your sister. That's too rude, isn't it?"
"Brother-in-law, what do you mean by being particular?"
Xiao Douding still asked the question very wisely.
Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "Not being particular means not knowing etiquette. For example, your brother-in-law bought you new clothes and you were very happy. So you kissed him, right?"
"Uh-huh."
"Then I also bought new clothes for your sister. Does she have to kiss her brother-in-law too?"
"Hmm, yes!"
"But she didn't keep her promise and ran away. Do you think she doesn't know etiquette and manners?"
"Yeah, my brother-in-law is right, it's not nice, my sister is too nice!"
The little bean nodded seriously, then kissed Chen Jie again and said proudly, "Brother-in-law, Ruirui is particular, right?"
"Well, you are very particular."
Chen Jie said with a smile, and then pointed to the inner room: "Go and ask your sister to put on her new clothes and come out to show me. Brother-in-law will buy you some candied haws tomorrow, okay?"
"Really?"
Xiao Douding's eyes widened, and Chen Jie laughed and said, "Has your brother-in-law ever lied to you?"
Xiao Douding thought for a moment and said, "My bad brother-in-law cheated me before, but my good brother-in-law has never cheated me now."
"Then are you going?"
Chen Jie asked, and Xiao Douding thought for a moment and said, "Go, Tanghulu!"
"Yes, candied haws!"
Xiao Douding looked at Chen Jie and said, "Well, I'll go then."
The little kid ran in, but soon Su Yunjin's voice was heard from the room.
"No, Ruirui, we haven't taken a shower for a long time. Let's take a shower tomorrow when your brother-in-law leaves, and then put on new clothes. You know, they will get dirty if we wear them now!"
"Oh, but my brother-in-law promised to buy me candied haws."
"Okay, little guy, you bought your sister with just a candied haws."
"No, sister, then tell Ruirui, are you happy that your brother-in-law bought you new clothes?"
There was a brief silence, and Su Yunjin seemed to say something. Chen Jie didn't hear it clearly from outside, but he heard Xiao Douding shouting in the inner room.
"Sister, if you like, why don't you kiss my brother-in-law? You are so rude, so rude!"
Xiao Douding was heartbroken, Su Yunjin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, Chen Jie smiled knowingly, and Xiao Douding was successfully brainwashed!
Soon Su Yunjin could no longer be bothered by the little kid, so she came out and saw Chen Jie pouring water into the pot to boil water, so she asked, "Husband?"
Chen Jie said, "Oh, my master gave me a recipe for a medicinal bath to help me practice. I'll boil some water."
"Oh, then I'll do it."
As Su Yunjin spoke, she snatched the ladle from his hand, and when she got close to him, she suddenly kissed him.
Chen Jie looked at his wife in surprise.
Su Yunjin blushed and said shyly and boldly, "So that the little girl won't always say that I'm not particular..."
"My dear husband, is it proper for me to do this?"
Come, let's learn Northeastern dialect together with me all over the world~
