My husband is a sick cat

Chapter 18 You can eat 2 more bowls of rice

The next few days were very peaceful. When Lu Jian went out with Zhou to deliver things to various families, and when someone came to move the tables, she didn't meet her uncle's family at all.

When Lu Jian wasn't paying attention, Zhou told the village chief Tang Jun about Tang Ying's request. Tang Jun found it very strange, but agreed without asking any more questions.

These days, Lu Jian's life basically consisted of eating and sleeping. Occasionally, when Tang Ying was energetic, he would learn to read from Tang Ying.

Neither Tang Ying nor Zhou had any objections to Lu Jian learning how to read with Tang Ying. Although Tang Ying had the idea of ​​​​survival, he was not sure how long he could live due to his physical condition.

Therefore, if Lu Jian could learn more, his life would not be too sad if he died in the future, so he taught very seriously.

Zhou herself is not very literate. Although she is the daughter of a restaurant owner, she has an older brother, and her father believes that it is virtue for a woman to have no talent, so he only taught her to write her own name and was unwilling to let her do anything else. She continued to learn.

After all, the restaurant will be for her brother in the future, so there is no need for her to study. Before getting married, she studied embroidery all day long, and occasionally learned some cooking skills from her mother, so what Zhou can do is Embroidery and cooking.

She herself didn't care about her illiteracy, and she didn't think women needed to be literate. There were three main reasons why she agreed to let Tang Ying teach Lu Jian how to read.

The first one is that Lu Jian has nothing to do at home. The fields at home have long been sold out in order to treat Tang Ying's illness, so there is no need to go to the fields at all.

The yard at home is not small, but it only grows some vegetables needed for daily use. There is no extra money to raise livestock, so naturally there is no work.

The second is that Lu Jian's cooking skills are as bad as ever. When Zhou asked Lu Jian to fry some green vegetables, Lu Jian almost burned down the kitchen. Although the fire was extinguished in time, the only two pots in the house were Still broke.

It wasn't a crack like that, but a big hole appeared directly in the bottom of the pot, making it completely unusable.

After seeing this result, Zhou's mother and son also gave Lu Jian a ban. She was not allowed to enter the kitchen alone anymore. Even if she occasionally helped, someone had to be by her side.

And Lu Jian doesn't know how to embroider at all. There aren't many things in this family, and Lu Jian can do even less. Instead of watching her eat and sleep all day long, and sleeping and eating to make her feel unbalanced, it's better to Find her something to do.

The last point was because of Tang Ying. He said that if Lu Jian went hunting in the mountains in the future, the prey would definitely be sold. Not many people in the village would buy it, so he could only take it to the town to sell it.

In Lu Jian's situation, it would be easy to get tricked if he went to sell prey. He couldn't ask Zhou to follow him every time, and he couldn't go there himself, so he asked Lu Jian to be literate and learn more, maybe when selling You can also earn more.

Of course, this last reason is the most important.

A few days passed by in a flash. That afternoon, Tang Ying had just taught Lu Jian a few new words when he heard someone coming into the yard.

Lu Jian was not at all curious about anyone coming. It was not like no one had come to visit in the past two days. She was not interested at all in what those women and her mother-in-law said about the family's filial piety, and she did not participate at all.

But this time it was not a woman, but a man. Lu Jian didn't know who it was, and even if she did, she probably wouldn't care.

But Tang Ying heard it. He glanced at Lu Jian, who had no reaction at all, and said softly: "A guest is coming. Go tell your mother and ask her to cook early tonight. You can do her a favor."

At first, Lu Jian was a little uncomfortable with calling Mrs. Zhou, but after a few days, she gradually got used to it, and after getting along with her for the past few days, she also found that the husband she married was very smart and knew many things.

Lu Jian was always more obedient to smart and powerful people, so when he heard Tang Ying's words, he agreed without thinking.

"Okay, is there anything you want to eat?"

Lu Jian himself is not a picky eater, but her husband is a bit picky. Lu Jian thinks this may be related to his poor health. After all, sick people have many things that they need to avoid.

"Just make it lighter. If you want to eat meat, just ask mom to cook it for you."

Tang Ying had a smile on her face and looked at Lu Jian with a very gentle look. Every time Lu Jian asked him what he wanted to eat, the focus was not on him, but that Lu Jian wanted to eat meat. Only when he spoke did Zhou do it. .

Although Lu Jian brought two large pork legs in her dowry, Zhou, who was used to being frugal, did not intend to eat them, but wanted to keep them for the New Year. As for the remaining dishes for the banquet, there were not many meat dishes, and Lu Jian Jane's appetite is gone in just one day.

At first, Lu Jian told Mrs. Zhou that she wanted to eat meat. Although Ms. Zhou didn't curse, she still talked about it for a while, and finally just made a thin piece of meat for Lu Jian to eat alone.

That little bit of meat was not enough for Lu Jian to stuff between her teeth, but she also understood the reason from Zhou's words, and Zhou didn't eat it herself, so it was hard to say more.

As for hunting, Tang Ying asked her to wait until someone made a hunting bow and machete for her before letting her go.

Lu Jian also saw Lu Rover using these things at the Lu family. She knew that it would be much easier and safer to have tools when hunting, so she would not refuse others' kindness.

However, Tang Ying also discovered that Lu Jian seemed to like eating meat, so he told Mrs. Zhou that as long as Tang Ying opened his mouth, Mrs. Zhou would cook more meat.

After discovering that Tang Ying's words worked, Lu Jian seemed to have discovered a new method. If she said she wanted to eat meat, she would just let Tang Ying speak. So every time she wanted to eat meat, she would pretend to ask. What does Tang Ying want to eat?

The first time she asked, Tang Ying discovered her purpose and didn't expose it. He just followed her with a smile and asked her to tell Zhou to cook meat.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Lu Jian jumped out and passed by the man who came in.

This man was none other than Tang Jun, the village chief of Tangjiabao. He was also related to Tang Ying's family. He was Tang Ying's uncle by seniority. However, Lu Jian didn't know him, so he just nodded and went out.

Tang Jun looked at Lu Jian jumping out and frowned slightly, then turned back and walked towards Tang Ying.

"Uncle, you are here."

Tang Ying stood up and said hello before continuing to clean up the words written by Lu Jian on the desk.

After carefully looking at Tang Ying's expression, Tang Jun's complexion improved a lot. He sat down on the chair next to the desk and said with some relief: "It seems that this wedding is still useful, your complexion looks much better. "

Tang Ying neatly put the packed things aside, then sat down, looked up at his uncle in front of him, smiled softly and said: "Yes, Ajian is young and has a very lively temperament. She is always happy when she is around." I feel a lot more cheerful.”

Hearing what his nephew said, he originally wanted to mention to Tang Ying that Lu Jian was jumping around and walking very irregularly. Tang Jun was suddenly speechless. After a pause, he could only talk about the reason for his visit.

"Before, you asked your mother to tell me to ask about the Lu family, and I heard about it, but you suddenly want to ask about the Lu family, is there something wrong?"

Tang Jun asked this question entirely because among the things he learned, there was one thing that was a bit bad.

"Well, Lu Jian said before that she could hunt. I was afraid that what she said was inaccurate, so I thought of asking my cousin to find out. Did my mother not make it clear to you?"

Naturally, this was not what Tang Ying wanted to inquire about, but of course he couldn't say that at this time.

Tang Jun was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this was the only thing Tang Ying wanted to inquire about, but he thought it would be okay to inquire more, so he pondered for a moment and spoke.

"It should be true that she knows how to hunt. According to the people in Qinjia Village, this girl did go into the mountains with Lu Orion several times when she was young. She also went there several times when she grew up, and she always brought prey with her. Yes, Lu Rover also said that his daughter can hunt."

Tang Ying nodded, deliberately pretending to observe Tang Jun's expression, and then asked with confusion: "Uncle, did you find out anything else? Tell me too, I want to know more about her."

Tang Ying deliberately said the last sentence in a low voice and looked a little embarrassed, just like a young man who was just starting to fall in love.

Seeing Tang Ying like this, Tang Jun felt a little upset. How could his good cabbage be eaten by such a pig? If Tang Ying hadn't been in poor health, he wouldn't have lived to be twenty...

Thinking of this, Tang Jun immediately stopped his thoughts, forced a smile, stared at Tang Ying and said: "I also found out something not very honorable, are you sure you want to hear it?"

Tang Jun's psychology at this time was complicated. He was happy that Tang Ying seemed better after getting married, but he was not happy that he married Lu Jian. Originally, he didn't need to talk about this matter, but he Still wanted to see Tang Ying's reaction.

Tang Ying frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Tang Jun, and said firmly: "Uncle, tell me, I want to know anything about her."

Tang Jun pursed his lips, and suddenly felt that he shouldn't have said anything just now, but the words had already come out, and it was impossible not to say them now.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Some people say that the girl once liked a student in their village, but this is probably just a rumor. After all, the student has disappeared."

Tang Ying originally thought that Tang Jun would say something strange about the Lu family towards Lu Jian, but she didn't expect to hear such gossip. She was a little speechless, but she still looked a little hurt on her face and tried to cheer up.

"I believe this is a rumor, is there anything else?"

Tang Ying's look made Tang Jun feel even more guilty. He shook his head and said that he had nothing else to do. In the end, he even ignored Tang Ying's mother and son's attempts to stay and insisted on leaving without staying for dinner.

After Lu Jian entered the kitchen, she found out who the man was. Because she didn't have a good impression of the so-called uncle's family, Lu Jian also had a bad impression of all the relatives of the Tang family.

If the other party doesn't stay for dinner, she will only feel happy because she can eat two more bowls of rice.
