Chapter 42
Chapter 41: Maruko (Revision Section)
This time the incident passed, and the emotions of the four members of the Chu family stabilized.
The Chujiacun is quiet and peaceful, but the Luojiacun next to it is boiling because of what happened in the morning.
Although Chujiacun and Luojiacun are very close, they are not in the same village after all, and there are several villages in between. Therefore, when Luo Jianjia and the others went out of the stall, the gossip did not reach them.
As usual, the family went to the pier to sell food.
Today, however, the Sun’s family, who was originally hiding in the corner selling food, did not come. Occasionally, a few diners looked at them with weird eyes, as if they were discussing something quietly. The focus of everyone seemed to be on Chu Weilian, and sometimes they looked at her.
Luo Jianjia felt that something she didn’t know had happened, and she turned her head to look at Chu Weileng.
Seeing that Chu Wei Leng had no unnecessary reaction, he was still cleaning the table and washing dishes, so he put it down for the time being, and continued to sell and eat.
When they finished eating, Zhao and Chu said, “His father, have you found that the diners today are a bit weird?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Jianjia made it clear that it was not her own illusion just now. Even the Zhao clan felt it, and it was obvious that something happened.
Chu Lao Dadao: “It’s a bit weird. There are fewer people and fewer diners who come to eat.”
Zhao said: “Right? I felt it just now. What’s the matter?”
Boss Chu couldn’t think of it, so he shook his head.
After speaking, everything was packed, and a group of people walked towards home.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, the villagers started discussing it outside.
The people who had been discussing enthusiastically, after seeing their family of four, their voice became much quieter, and their eyes turned to look at them.
As usual, Zhao greeted the villagers.
After returning home, she said: “I think the people in the village are also weird. What are they talking about? Is it related to our family?”
Luo Jianjia felt the same way, saying: “Well, it seems to be saying something.”
And most of the things that everyone talked about were related to her and Chu Wei Leng.
But she didn’t tell Zhao this.
Although she did not hear clearly, she always felt that Chu Weilian should have heard it.
Thinking of this, she once again looked at Chu Wei Leng who was standing beside her.
Unexpectedly, as if he hadn’t heard it, he moved skillfully to unload the table, chair and bench resting on it from the car.
“Fine, it’s not a big deal,” Zhao said.
Let go of the matter after speaking.
Luo Jianjia also felt that most of it was not a major event. If it were a major event, Chu Weileng could not be so calm.
The Chu family is not a person with curiosity. This matter was over after all. After packing up the things, Luo Jianjia went to cook.
Zhao was sitting by the well and washed the dishes and chopsticks used by the diners several times.
Luo Jianjia was in a very good mood today, thinking about what to make delicious at noon.
There is no doubt that Chu Wei cold likes to eat pasta.
She has made dumplings, steamed buns, noodles and vegetable cakes. What else can she make…
Just thinking about it, I heard the sound of selling tofu coming from outside the house.
Suddenly, an idea came to mind.
Luo Jianjia bought two large pieces of tofu for three cents.
Zhao asked curiously: “Jianjia, are you planning to stew tofu?”
I also bought tofu at home before, and they were all stewed.
Luo Jianjia shook his head and said, “No, my daughter-in-law plans to eat croquettes.”
Chu Wei Leng’s eyes lit up when he heard the croquettes.
“Croquettes?” Zhao asked in surprise, “What do you do?”
Chujiacun is located in the south and knows very little about the food in the north.
I haven’t even heard of the more common dumplings in the north, let alone dumplings.
“Get some noodles and vegetables and fry them in a pot.” Luo Jianjia explained briefly.
Chu Weileng stayed in the north for three years. Even if he was going to a neighboring country, it was also a place farther north. Naturally, he was no stranger to this kind of food.
“Need help?” Chu Wei asked coldly.
Luo Jianjia has always been agile in cooking and doesn’t need much help, so he turned down Chu Weileng.
“No, I can do it by myself.” Luo Jianjia said.
Chu Weilian knew the level of Roche’s cooking, and he didn’t mention it again, and left home to chop wood in the mountains.
Luo Jianjia prepared the green onion, **** and garlic, and chopped all into the mince.
I took two more carrots and cut them into cubes.
After grabbing the tofu that I just bought with my hands, mix all the chopped green onion, ginger, garlic and diced carrots together. Finally, add the seasoning and mix well.
After adjusting the filling, Luo Jianjia took a few scoops of flour and added some water to mix it with the filling that was just mixed.
After squeezing the noodles in his hand, Luo Jianjia thought about Chu Wei Leng’s appetite, hesitated, wiped a few white radishes, and mixed another kind of filling.
After doing this, Zhao has already heated up the oil in the pot.
The Zhao family used to save food and fuel, but now that he makes a lot of money, he doesn’t save so much.
Thinking of my daughter-in-law’s craftsmanship, I think it’s worth pouring more oil.
When the oil temperature was about 40%, Luo Jianjia pinched the dough in his left hand and a spoon in his right hand, one by one, skillfully dropping the **** into the oil pan.
After a while, Zhao smelled the fragrance.
They had eaten late, and they had been busy for more than an hour, and their stomachs were already hungry.
At this moment, I smelled the scent of meatballs, swallowed unconsciously, and praised: “It smells so good, why does it smell so good?”
Luo Jianjia smiled and said, “It tastes delicious too, mother will try it later.”
“Hey, okay, I’ll eat more.” Zhao Shi smiled.
After a while, the first pot of meatballs was fried.
Luo Jianjia has good cooking skills, and Zhao’s mastery of fire is also very good. The fried meatballs are browned and look very attractive.
After Luo Jianjia took out the balls, he handed one to Zhao, and then continued to fry the second pot.
The meatballs were a little hot when they were fried, and Zhao couldn’t help but stuff them in his mouth.
While blowing the heat, she said: “It’s delicious and fragrant. This tofu is like meat, no, no, it’s better than meat.”
The food was praised, and Luo Jianjia, the cook, was also very pleased.
After the tofu **** were fried, Luo Jianjia fried the white radish **** again. This kind of meatball filling can be said to be very common in the north, and it is even more common in the dumpling world than chives and eggs. Most people like fried white radish fillings for croquettes.
Since this stuffing has been recognized by many people, Zhao naturally finds it delicious.
The fried meatballs and egg soup are a perfect match.
After the meatballs were fried, Luo Jianjia used the remaining bottom of the pan to fry the chopped green onions, fry two more tomatoes, fry the tomatoes, and then add water.
After the water boiled down, the noodle soup was boiled and poured into the beaten egg liquid.
Then he threw the freshly cleaned green vegetables from the ground into the pot, covered the pot, and stopped the fire.
A pot of tomato, green, and egg soup is ready.
Just after the soup was cooked here, Chu Wei Leng came down from the mountain over there.
From a long distance, he smelled the smell of food at home outside the door.
After entering the door, it was useless for others to say that he first put the firewood in the yard, and then hurriedly went to the well to wash his hands. After washing his hands repeatedly, he immediately went to the kitchen.
“Ah, you came back just right. Your wife just made a meal.” Zhao laughed and teased his son, “Could it be that he came back after smelling the smell of rice.”
“The mother still knows sons best.” Chu Wei admitted coldly.
After speaking, he looked around again.
“What are you doing? Looking for balls?” Zhao asked.
His mind was pierced, and Chu Wei nodded coldly.
Zhao smiled and said, “They are all brought to the main room, you just have to bring the egg soup over.”
“Hey, good.”
Luo Jianjia took a few cucumbers and mixed some tomatoes as usual.
The meatballs are relatively greasy, and eating these can relieve the greasy feeling.
Chu Wei Leng really liked the meatballs, and as soon as they were on the table, he ate them one bite at a time.
Both Zhao’s and Chu’s boss like tofu balls, and Luo Jianjia also.
Only Chu Weilian likes the meatballs stuffed with white radish, and it makes me happy to eat.
Seeing how he was eating happily, Luo Jianjia thought, Chu Wei Leng really likes heavy food. Fortunately, she adjusted this stuffing, otherwise it won’t be enough today.
After a while, Luo Jianjia had just woke up from a nap, and he heard someone coming outside, listening to the voice, like aunt Wang.
After a while, Zhao came and knocked on the door.
“Brother Leng, are you there?”
Chu Wei Leng woke up too early in the morning and barely slept last night. I just woke up just now, heard his mother’s voice, and quickly responded: “Yes.”
“Open the door quickly, mother has something to ask you.”
As soon as Zhao’s voice fell, Chu Wei Leng opened the door.
“You come with Jianjia and go to the main room.” Zhao said with a solemn face.
This was the first time Luo Jianjia saw Zhao’s serious appearance.
She vaguely felt that it should have something to do with what everyone was discussing at night.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Chu Wei Leng again, only to see that he was still the same as before, nothing special.
When Luo Jianjia and Chu Wei Leng went out, they saw Zhao go to close the door and kill them from the inside.
It seems that the matter is serious.
Luo Jianjia gave Chu Wei a cold look.
I don’t know what he did.
When everyone was sitting at the table in the main room, Boss Chu looked at his son with a calm face, and asked, “What did you do this morning?”
“I went to the county town, and then to Luojia Village.” Chu Wei coldly replied honestly.
Hearing this, Boss Chu and Zhao Shi glanced at each other, the fear in their eyes increased.
“What did you do when you went to the county seat?” Boss Chu asked again.
Without waiting for his son’s answer, Zhao couldn’t help but take another sentence: “The rich businessman won’t really… be killed by you…”
After asking, both of them stared at their son’s face and didn’t miss a word from him.
Rich businessman… Luo’s family…
Luo Jianjia also understood a little bit when he heard this.
Did Chu Weilian go to trouble Liu Fushang and Luo family?
As for why you are looking for it, the answer is obvious.
Don’t think about it, it’s because of her.
I just don’t know why Chu Wei Leng is now looking for a wealthy businessman surnamed Liu and Luo’s family.
If it is really for the sake of face, shouldn’t you look for it when you know about it?
Is it because of what she said last night?
Luo Jianjia stared at Chu Wei coldly for a moment, but couldn’t figure it out.
However, she would like to know what happened to the wealthy businessman surnamed Liu. Is it possible that it is really like a previous life…
Thinking of this, Luo Jianjia’s heart tightened slightly.
It’s not that she is worried about the fate of the wealthy businessman, but that she can’t escape the ending in the book.
However, combined with the temperament of the male protagonist in the book and the relationship between them during this period of time, she feels that the male protagonist is not such a person.
In the book, he retaliated against the wealthy businessman and her because they indirectly killed Boss Chu.
Now that Boss Chu is not dead, and Liu Fushang has not caused substantial harm to the people around him, he should not be able to kill him cleanly.
He treats her very well now, and has not angered her because of this.
“Daddy and mother, you think too much, my son didn’t do that.”
Boss Chu and Zhao still believed in their sons more, thinking that their son was not a person who would kill innocent people indiscriminately. Therefore, upon hearing his son’s explanation, a holding heart immediately fell into place.
“Then why is he missing?” Boss Chu asked.
Chu Wei twitched the corners of his mouth coldly when he thought of how scared the other party was when he went to find the wealthy businessman.
It’s really daunting to be so dare to miss his wife.
“Go home overnight.”
“Gone?” Zhao said.
After finishing speaking, she patted her chest and said, “Hey, it’s good to go after you go. It’s fine if you don’t kill. You are really scared to death.”
“You hurry up and explain it to outsiders, so as not to misunderstand others.” Chu Lao Dadao, “especially the county government will misunderstand and affect you.”
This is not a good thing. Now that his son is an official, he can’t lose his reputation.
Chu Wei chilled and said, “Father, there is no need to explain. People on the dock in the county seat have seen him leave. The county government will not misunderstand his son.”
Boss Chu and Zhao both believed him, but Luo Jianjia didn’t.
She didn’t believe Chu Wei Leng did not know what he was talking about outside, he must have heard it at the dock and when he returned to the village. But even if he heard it, there was no extra expression on his face, as if he hadn’t heard it.
If ordinary people are misunderstood in this way, they will not be so calm. After all, this is not a trivial matter, and it is not a good reputation.
With the assurance that their son did not kill, both Boss Chu and Zhao were relieved. As for what else to ask, both of them forgot.
“People in the city know the truth and won’t misunderstand you. Our country folks are far away, and they all misunderstood.” Zhao said, “Mother, I will explain to you.”
“I also went to the clan to talk about it.” Boss Chu continued.
“Father, mother, even if you go to explain, they may not listen. People are no longer here anymore.” Chu Wei said coldly.
“Even if you don’t listen, you still have to explain, and don’t let them misunderstand you.”
After speaking, the two went out.
In an instant, there were only two people left in the room, Chu Weilian and Luo Jianjia.
Luo Jianjia glanced at Chu Weileng, and saw that his expression was relaxed and he was not at all tired of the rumors. He picked up the bowl on the table and drank cold and white.
“Why didn’t you explain?” Luo Jianjia couldn’t help asking.
If he wanted to explain, the rumors would never be spread like this.
He only needs to call the people he saw on the pier to talk about it, and then find out the credentials for boarding the boat, and the rumors will be self-defeating.
She didn’t believe that Chu Weilian couldn’t think of it.
Chu Wei Leng took the bowl with his hand, raised it again, and continued to drink the water in the bowl.
After drinking, he raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth, looked at Luo Jianjia who was sitting next to him, and asked, “Why should I explain?”
Why do you want to explain? Is it a glorious thing to be mistaken as a murderer? Luo Jianjia thought.
Without waiting for her to ask again, Chu Wei Leng spoke again.
“Also let them know and dare to worry about the fate of my daughter-in-law.”
When he said this, Chu Weilian still stared at the bowl in front of him, as if his words could not be more casual.
Although Chu Weilian did not look at Luo Jianjia when he said this, Luo Jianjia looked at Chu Weilian who was sitting nearby, smelling the smell of sweat and the saponaria mixture from him, and suddenly felt his heart beat. .
