The newly married reborn cold-faced boss dotes on his delicate wife

Chapter 185 Is the wife he married not good to him?

After washing his hands, Li Changpu walked over to Jiang Tingxia, brought two bowls of porridge, and said with a smile, "Today is the Pumpkin Meeting."

Jiang Tingxia smiled and said, "We are running out of space to store pumpkins at home, and we only solved one problem with this meal."

Jiang Tingxia doesn't eat leftovers, so she usually cooks just the right amount. But today there were too many ingredients and she overdosed, so she asked everyone to eat more and not leave any leftovers.

Jin Xiaobao ate the food in the bowl, then took a bite of the steamed cake which was bigger than his hand, feeling extremely satisfied. Finally, he touched his round belly and glanced at the woman sitting next to his uncle.

She was not angry because of how much they ate. She had a faint smile on her face and was talking to her uncle.

Jin Xiaobao looked away, thought about the past, and snorted in his heart. There was no one in this world who would be nice to them three siblings for no reason. This woman must be pretending to be nice because her uncle was at home.

When Jiang Tingxia has nothing to do at home, she writes and draws, reads a book, and if she sits for too long, she goes out for a walk to stretch her muscles. Otherwise, she makes some snacks at home, such as roasted meat, pork jerky, spicy rabbit meat, fried tofu with sauce, fried dough twist, Yipinsu, pear soup...

If they have food to eat, they will grow. In the past, they used to be hungry and full at home. Now, they not only have three meals a day, but also some snacks from time to time. After a period of time, the complexions of the three children have become visibly whiter and tenderer.

Jiang Tingxia gave Li Changpu a taste of the dried meat she had roasted. Li Changpu took a bite and found it spicy and fresh. He praised, "It's delicious."

He took another one and said, "You are really versatile. You can make so many delicious dishes."

Jiang Tingxia raised his head, "Of course, there are too few ingredients at home, and there are only a few ingredients here and there, otherwise I can make more delicious food."

Chazipo is located in a remote area, and it is almost winter. Food is scarce and of limited variety. Vegetables are mainly pumpkins, potatoes, radishes and cabbages that are easy to store, and meats are mainly pork and chicken. Their family also has Li Changpu who occasionally hunts a few pheasants and rabbits for variety, which really limits Jiang Tingxia's performance.

Li Changpu remembered that when he and Jiang Tingxia returned to Wenhai, the Jiang family's table was rich in ingredients, even summer vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes, not to mention everything flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the sea. The Jiang family also said that Jiang Tingxia was very picky about food.

As a result, when people followed him to Chazipo, the food quality dropped significantly.

Li Changpu sat on the chair and said casually, "It's not good to always eat these dishes at home."

He asked, "Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

Jiang Tingxia held a piece of dried meat, thought for a moment and said, "Fish."

“I haven’t eaten fish in a long time.”

Li Changpu looked at her greedy expression and smiled, "It's not that difficult."

Jiang Tingxia thought Li Changpu would go buy fish, but she didn't expect that he would catch them himself, a whole bucket full.

Jiang Tingxia looked down and saw fresh fish tumbling in the bucket. There were several species, some of which she didn't recognize.

She smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Where did you get so many fish?"

Li Changpu put the tools aside and said, "There is a lake nearby, and there are fish in it."

Jiang Tingxia was a little surprised, "You can catch fish?"

Li Changpu looked at Jiang Tingxia's satisfied expression and said with some pride, "If the weather gets warmer, or if a thick layer of ice forms on the lake in a while, it will be easier to catch fish. We can easily catch several buckets."

Li Changpu went to clean the fish, keeping the big ones and steaming or stewing them. He also selected two carps to make the squirrel fish that Jiang Tingxia had been dreaming of. As for the remaining small fish that were not even the size of a palm, he squeezed out the internal organs and fried them into small fried fish with crispy bones.

From that time on, there was never a shortage of fish at home. Usually when the fish were almost finished, Li Changpu would come back with another bucket of fish.

Jiang Tingxia never gets tired of eating these fish. The fish have firm meat and a tender taste. She likes them very much.

Gradually, she became the subject of gossip again.

A few idle women gathered together and saw Li Changpu carrying a bucket home with a large wet spot on his trouser legs.

Someone asked, "Why does Captain Li go fishing in the lake every once in a while?"

Someone said, "Needless to say, he must have been caught by his wife."

Some people were envious, "They say that Captain Li treats his wife well, and it's true."

"Why haven't I met a man like this?"

Someone said contemptuously, "His wife is really good. She orders the men around like this. Look at my old man Ma. I don't let him work after work. I don't even ask him to help me when the oil bottle falls over. Why? You say they are exhausted after a day's work. Isn't it time for them to rest when they get home? Captain Li's wife really doesn't care about her husband."

"That's right, the one in my family is the same. I don't let him get involved in the housework. The master must be busy with things outside. I can do the housework by myself. I don't need him."

After hearing this, Guo Huifang looked at the receding figure with infinite tenderness in her eyes. Wasn't the wife he married not good to him?

Guo Huifang continued listening.

"You can imagine how cruel this woman is. She actually asked her man to go fishing in the river in the middle of winter."

"Yes, several of them fell down before."

"Who in the family who has a stutter would let their master take this risk?"

"Not only does he fish, he also lets his husband go to the back hill to catch pheasants and rabbits. There are wolves behind them."

"That's not how you become a daughter-in-law."

Jiang Tingxia knew nothing about the rumors outside, but Zhuang Xue next door couldn't sit still and pestered Xu Dazhuang to go fishing as well.

These days, she is always concerned about what's going on next door.

Seeing that Jiang Tingxia was surrounded by a group of little brats, she felt better. No matter how high and mighty she had been in the past, and how pampered she was, now she was just like Zhuang Xue, living this kind of country life, being bothered by men and children every day.

But later she felt uncomfortable again, because the man next door Jiang Tingxia was much stronger than her man. He took care of everything at home and outside. Zhuang Xue had never seen Jiang Tingxia do any physical work, and she had never seen her hold a broom.

As for her, Xu Dazhuang had forced her to fetch water. If she hadn't cried for a few days, he would have really made her do hard labor.

She was very dissatisfied, so she pestered Xu Dazhuang to catch fish for her like Jiang Tingxia's man did.

Xu Dazhuang turned over impatiently, "What fish are you eating!"

Zhuang Xue complained, "I'm from Wenhai, and Jiang Tingxia is also from Wenhai. Her husband can catch fish for her, so why don't you catch fish for me?"

Xu Dazhuang waved his hand and said, "What's the comparison?"

Zhuang Xue started to cry, "Why can't we compare? How am I worse than Jiang Tingxia? Why does her husband love her so much and rush to do all the housework, but you let me wash your clothes and cook for you and never help me."

She stretched out her hands and said, "Look at my hands. They are cracked from touching cold water every day."

Xu Dazhuang frowned, "You are comparing me with Li Changpu!"

He blurted out, "He is getting married for the first time, I am getting married for the second time, so our hearts are different."

After hearing this, Zhuang Xue was stunned and started crying again, "Xu Dazhuang, are you a human being? I am a pure girl who followed you, and you say such things."

"Didn't you follow me around every day, begging me to be nice to you?"

"Are you worthy of me?"

When they fell in love, Xu Dazhuang was still married. He brought up the matter of his original wife again. Could Zhuang Xue agree to him?

Xu Dazhuang felt uncomfortable seeing Zhuang Xue crying like this. He just said it casually. His former wife was so worthless and shameful. The two of them never mentioned this matter.

Xu Dazhuang had no choice but to say, "Okay, isn't it just catching fish? I'll go."
