Since she learned how to wash dishes easily and did a good job, Jiang Tingxia said that housework was not difficult at all.

When she first started learning the guzheng, she was always laughed at by the girls in the class because she started late. She refused to accept it and practiced for three extra hours every day. In less than a month, she became the best at playing the instrument.

She could even learn such a difficult musical instrument, not to mention making fire and cooking which even illiterate villagers could do.

So she began to tinker with the stove with full confidence based on her memory of observing Li Changpu's every move.

Throw the firewood in first, then use a match to light the straw and throw it in.

Jiang Tingxia clapped his hands and said, it’s not that difficult.

She happily put her hands on her hips and praised herself, "Jiang Tingxia, you are really amazing."

Before I could feel happy for two seconds, I saw the flame of the burning wheat straw in the stove getting smaller and smaller, and finally the fire was extinguished, and the stove returned to peace.

Seeing this, Jiang Tingxia squatted down again and threw in a few more straws.

It went out quickly though.

Jiang Tingxia judged that the fire was too small and was not enough to ignite the firewood. This time she simply grabbed a handful of wheat straw, lit it and threw it into the stove.

She leaned over to see if the fire had started. At that moment, because there was too much wheat straw in the stove, the fire was too big and tongues of flame burst out.

Jiang Tingxia only felt his face getting hot, and he stood up with a wow, and red flames had already rushed out.

Jiang Tingxia was frightened and ran out the door quickly.

The flames burst out and ignited the firewood and wheat straw piled around the stove, which were left over from the fire. Now they were all burned, and the fire grew bigger and bigger.

Jiang Tingxia had just walked out the door when she heard someone shouting, "Fire, fire."

People living nearby ran out one after another.

"Where's the fire?"

"It's Captain Li's home."

"Why did it catch fire?"

"Who knows? Go check it out."

"Go and help put out the fire."

"Go get a bucket of water."

"fast"

The crowd was noisy, some were carrying buckets of water, some were holding washbasins, and some were holding brooms...

There is strength in numbers, and the fire was put out soon.

Looking at the gray fog surrounding Li Changpu's house, someone said thankfully, "Luckily it didn't catch fire."

The fire in the house was on the stove. A few buckets of water and a few brooms put out the fire.

Someone asked Jiang Tingxia in the crowd, "Sister-in-law, why did you make your home like this?"

Jiang Tingxia: "I wanted to cook, but the fire wouldn't start, so I..."

All the women present were good at housework. They looked at the messy stove and said in disbelief, "How can cooking burn down the house?"

It's quite new; they have never heard of this in their lives.

……

Just now when everyone was running to put out the fire, Yang Jinfeng ran in the opposite direction.

She heard from Wei Dong that they were going to train nearby today.

Sure enough, she saw a group of soldiers wearing uniform green clothes in the distance, and she trotted towards them.

It was almost time for the lunch break and everyone was dispersing.

Yang Jinfeng is pretty, and when she runs her waist becomes even more slender, swaying in the wind.

Someone shouted out, "Wei Dong, your wife is here to see you."

Wei Dong looked at Yang Jinfeng who was walking over and said, "You kid, go and be envious."

Then he took two quick steps to meet her, "Jin Feng, come here..."

Yang Jinfeng dodged him directly and walked towards Li Changpu behind him.

She panted and pulled Li Changpu's sleeve, looked at him with squinted eyes, and slowed down her voice, with a hint of soft charm in her haste, "Brother Li, you should go home quickly. I heard that Sister Xia has set the house on fire. Your house is on fire."

Wei Dong also came over, "Ah, Brother Li, then you should go back and take a look."

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Changpu had already run towards home.

Yang Jinfeng looked at the finger he had shaken away, her eyes flashing with reluctance, and suggested, "Let's go over there too."

Wei Dong agreed immediately, and the couple followed.

Li Changpu ran faster and faster in front of them, and slowly even his shadow could not be seen anymore.

Yang Jinfeng was anxious. She was afraid of missing the scene of Li Changpu scolding Jiang Tingxia, so she walked faster and faster.

Li Changpu approached the courtyard gate and saw that there was indeed a large group of people surrounding his house. Jiang Tingxia was surrounded in the middle, looking frightened.

She looked in a state of disgrace. Her originally pink face was now covered in soot and looked black. When she cried, tears left two straight white marks on her face.

He looked at her, then at the mess in the room, and felt a headache.

Someone came over and said to him, "Fortunately, there are many people here, and everyone put out the fire immediately, otherwise the whole house would have burned down."

Jiang Tingxia's reputation was already bad, and everyone was talking at the same time, with no one considering her thoughts.

"Are you marrying a wife or an ancestor? Can you burn down the house just by cooking a meal?"

"That's right. My distant relative has a stupid daughter. She's so stupid that she can't even yell at her parents and can even light a fire and cook."

"Is this what a young lady from the city is like? She won't even pay for it."

"How stupid."

Jiang Tingxia became furious when she heard what they said. She was very grateful for everyone's help in putting out the fire, but they were now attacking her personally.

She raised her blackened face and yelled, "Has that been enough?"

"Did I burn your house? Why are you talking so much?"

"What's wrong with coming from the city? Did I offend you? Why does your mouth stink so bad?"

She pointed at a gossiping woman and said, "What's wrong with not being able to light a fire? What's wrong with not being able to cook? I know a lot. I can speak English, play the piano, play the guzheng, and draw."

"Is it a big deal that you can cook? I can, too. I can make coffee, bake cakes, and even delicious pies. Can you?"

Jiang Tingxia had a petite figure and a soft voice. She was also a bride, so everyone assumed she was thin-skinned. But who would have thought that she would suddenly become like a crazy woman, scaring everyone.

After being yelled at by her, I didn't know what to say.

Li Changpu stood in front of Jiang Tingxia, stopped her from speaking hysterically, and said to everyone who was stunned by Jiang Tingxia's sudden change, "Thank you all for your help today. Come and sit down when you have time. Let's clean up the house first."

After being scolded like this, everyone wanted to leave in a panic. "Oh, yes, you pack up first, we'll leave first."

Jiang Tingxia was going crazy and couldn't stop for a while. He shouted at the fleeing crowd, "Don't leave. If you have the guts, keep talking. Let's see who can win."

“You long tongued women”

“Vous, femmes aux longues langues”

Li Changpu thought she was possessed by a ghost, "Jiang, Tingxia..."

Jiang Tingxia ignored everything and continued to speak passionately towards the gate.

"Вы, 6oлtyhы."

Li Changpu felt somewhat helpless, "Jiang..."

"You don't understand, I'm talking about you bunch of gossipers."

Li Changpu tried to stop her, but she was so emotional that he couldn't stop her at all. In the end, Li Changpu could only cover her mouth with a big hand and suppress her with brute force.

"They've already left."

"Well"

Jiang Tingxia couldn't make a sound, and the next second, she bit his hand hard.

Li Changpu cried out in pain, "Jiang Tingxia, you are born in the year of the dog."

Jiang Tingxia was finally released. She wanted to scold him, but before she could open her mouth, she was picked up by the tall man in front of her, carried on his back and taken into the house.

Jiang Tingxia patted his broad shoulders with all her might, "Li Changpu, put me down, or I will bite you to death."

Outside the yard, Yang Jinfeng looked at the scene in front of her, gnashing her teeth in hatred, then turned around and walked away quickly.

Wei Dong didn't understand what was going on, so he followed her and said, "Jin Feng, wait for me."
