The next day, Yin Qiuwen woke up early to make breakfast. Everyone in the village was diligent, and no one really slept in. Yin Qiuwen felt that Chu Xiang was not really married into the family, so she felt embarrassed to let Chu Xiang do the work, so she did more. However, not long after she woke up, Chu Xiang finished tidying up and went into the kitchen.
Yin Qiuwen saw this and quickly said, "Sister-in-law, I'll do it. You lie down for a while more. Your body hasn't recovered yet."
Chu Xiang moved her arm for her to see. "I'm fine. Besides, my cooking is actually very good. Let me do it. You're the only healthy one in our family. The three of us need to nourish our bodies. We should eat more if the food is good, right? In the future, leave the cooking to me. You go feed the chickens, sweep the yard, and do the laundry. We'll split the work. "
"Ah? Oh, okay. " Yin Qiuwen pointed out where the things in the kitchen were and gave up the position of the stove. She stood at the door and watched Chu Xiang curiously.
There were still many vegetables in the kitchen after the wedding banquet. Chu Xiang quickly made a tomato and egg soup. Yin Qiuwen was dumbfounded. Wasn't soup made with noodles with some salt? How could there be tomatoes and eggs in it? In the end, Chu Xiang filled every bowl with some chopped green onions. Just looking at it made one's appetite increase.
Yin Qiuwen couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. She said in surprise, "This is too fragrant. How can soup have a fragrance? It smells better than vegetables. "
Chu Xiang handed her a bowl and raised her chin. "Try it. It tastes better than it looks."
Yin Qiuwen took the bowl and couldn't wait to take a sip of the steaming soup. Her taste buds immediately enjoyed a wonderful taste. It was so delicious that she didn't care that it was hot and ate two more mouthfuls. She turned her head and shouted into the house, "Mom, Brother, come out and eat breakfast. My sister-in-law made it. It's so delicious!"
Chu Xiang smiled and shook her head. "Eat slowly. Don't burn yourself. There's still a lot in the pot. Take it all out. I'll cook a few more eggs. "
"Okay!" Yin Qiuwen happily put down the bowl and ran out with a rag to wipe the table. She then happily ran back into the kitchen to get the rice.
The neighbors on the left and right had heard her shouting just now. They curiously looked over the wall and saw the red, yellow, and green colors in Yin Qiuwen's bowl. They asked curiously, "Wen, what delicious food did your sister-in-law make for you? You're so happy. "
Yin Qiuwen smiled and said, "Lump soup! I didn't know that you could put eggs and vegetables in soup before. My sister-in-law is too awesome. It's very delicious. "
"Dumpling soup? What's so good about that thing? Isn't it a disaster to put things in it? "
"It's delicious! Different people would make different things for different people. My sister-in-law is good at cooking. My family has married a treasure! I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm in a hurry to eat. I'm going in first. " Yin Qiuwen still remembered that Chu Xiang had a nickname, "Jinx." When she praised her sister-in-law, she couldn't wait to tell everyone that her sister-in-law was very good. Of course, it was true that she was in a hurry to eat. After that, she ran into the house.
Yang Yuelan and Yin Xu quickly got up and tidied up. They waited for Chu Xiang at the entrance of the kitchen and chatted with the neighbors while they were at it. When Chu Xiang finished cooking the eggs, Yin Xu took the initiative to serve them. He didn't let Chu Xiang do it. When the neighbors saw this, they laughed and teased him, "Yin Xu knows how to dote on his wife. Chu Xiang, is Yin Xu good to you?"
Chu Xiang took Yang Yuelan's arm and walked out of the kitchen. She smiled and said, "Of course. My mother and sister are also good to me. I've fallen into a nest of good fortune."
On the other side, when the neighbors saw the four eggs in the bowl, they were speechless and said, "So good to eat so early in the morning? The soup is made with white flour. I saw it. It's full of ingredients. Tsk, tsk. There are tomatoes and eggs in it. You're still eating boiled eggs. Isn't it a waste? "
Yang Yuelan was afraid that Chu Xiang would feel awkward and wanted to help her out. However, Chu Xiang said calmly, "If you eat well, you'll be in good health. Of course, you have to eat more at home."
Yang Yuelan smiled and nodded. "Xiang Xiang is right. You know our family's situation. We have to eat more to nourish our bodies. We'll eat more when we run out. Alright, we're going to eat now. You guys should go too. "
The whole family entered the house. The neighbors on both sides couldn't see anyone, so they left after chatting for a while in the yard. However, they often complained to others about Chu Xiang's prodigal behavior and questioned whether her cooking was good or not. Some people saw that Chu Xiang and the three members of the Yin family were getting along so well. They didn't believe that they would always be so close. They were waiting to see the jinx bring misfortune to others. They were waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.
However, these whispers didn't reach the Yin family. The four of them just happened to sit at the same table. Other than Chu Xiang, everyone was engrossed in eating. Even Yang Yuelan ate a big bowl and praised it repeatedly. It was too delicious.
The simpler something was, the more delicious it was. Because the ingredients were too simple and the taste wasn't heavy, the taste of the ingredients and the ratio of the seasonings were very, very important. Chu Xiang had studied cooking for decades when she was a writer. She was already a master at cooking. Of course, the food she cooked tasted good.
Chu Xiang held the bowl and drank a few mouthfuls. She was also satisfied. During this period of time, she had been eating other people's cooking. The food of this era was simply too terrible compared to the food of the future era. She was reluctant to use ingredients, liked fatty meat, didn't care about the knife skills of the ingredients, too casually seasoned, didn't pay attention to the heat, and many other shortcomings made it difficult for her to eat.
Most of the time, she ate the food in the space when no one was eating. However, it wasn't a good thing to always do that. It was better to cook hot food like this. This was also the reason why she rushed to cook. As for the other housework, she was really annoyed and didn't like to do it at all. She asked Wen to do it. As compensation, she would cook more delicious and nutritious food for them in the future.
Yin Xu distributed four eggs to everyone. Yang Yuelan was reluctant to eat it and pushed it away. "Give this to Xiang Xiang. It's good for her health."
Chu Xiang put a peeled egg into her bowl and smiled. "Mom, you eat it. You don't look so good. You should be the one who needs to take care of your health. When I was in the hospital, I asked the doctors and nurses a lot of ways to take care of your health. In the future, listen to me when you eat. I guarantee that your health will be much better. "She paused and asked," Can I? Am I meddling too much? "
Yang Yuelan and Yin Qiuwen hurriedly said, "No, no."
Yang Yuelan took a bite of the egg and smiled. "How can we not know that you care about us? In the future, we'll listen to you when we eat. I'll wash the dishes later. Don't fight with me for this. I can't just sit around and do nothing. "
Chu Xiang nodded in agreement. She never intended to do all the chores in the Yin family. She was only responsible for cooking. Among the housework, she only liked to cook. From Yang Yuelan and Yin Qiuwen's point of view, they were so kind to her purely because they liked her. Of course, she wouldn't take advantage of them. In her eyes, Yang Yuelan and Yin Xu's bodies were full of problems and were very easy to cure. Before she left, she would cure them and take Yin Qiuwen to college.
After dinner, Yang Yuelan went to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen. Yin Qiuwen took the clothes to the river to wash. Many women who met her asked about their new sister-in-law. She happily told them that her new sister-in-law was very good. Everyone was confused and couldn't figure it out.
Why was the Yin family so fond of the "jinx" and "unlucky person" that everyone despised in their hearts? From her mother-in-law to her sister-in-law, they liked her very much. Even Yin Xu knew how to dote on her. Was Chu Xiang so lucky? But wasn't she unlucky? This was contradictory!
Chu Xiang became a hot topic in the village again. Every word about her here spread to the Chu family. The Chu family was now on the opposite side of her. Of course, they didn't want her to have a good life. The worse her life was, the more it proved that the Chu family's decision to split up was right. In the end, the Yin family treated Chu Xiang so well and liked her so much, but they didn't recognize them as in-laws. This was too embarrassing. Grandma Chu even asked Chu Lan to catch rabbits in the mountains. No matter what, she wanted everyone to see that the jinx was in the Chu family. They never cared about the jinx.
Of course, Chu Lan also wanted to steal the limelight. Although she liked Yin Xu in her previous life, the more happy Chu Xiang was after she married Yin Xu, the more unbalanced she felt in her heart. Why could Chu Xiang be happy wherever she was? She must be more likable than Chu Xiang.
Chu Lan specially asked Song Yang to go together. She wanted to show her good fortune and luck in front of Song Yang. She used questions as an excuse. On the way, she listened to Song Yang talk about two questions. She didn't pay attention. Before Song Yang finished, she changed the topic and talked about the interesting things in the village. Song Yang kept laughing.
The two of them were digging for wild vegetables. In fact, it was more like a walk in the spring. They laughed and laughed. Unknowingly, half a day passed. When Song Yang was about to go back, Chu Lan suddenly realized that so much time had passed. The most important thing was that she didn't see any good things like wild rabbits, pheasants, and wild eggs for so long. She didn't even find any particularly good wild vegetables.
She panicked. After parting with Song Yang, she didn't believe it and went into the forest again. She was afraid that there was no wild game in the periphery, so she deliberately went deeper into the forest. However, the deeper she went, the more anxious she became.
Nothing! Nothing! Nothing at all! Her good luck seemed to have been used up. She couldn't find any good things!
Chu Lan had forgotten everything in her heart. She was panicking and only wanted to find something to prove that she was good. She kept walking and walking, and in the end, she got lost in the forest!
It was getting darker and darker, and it just so happened that there was no moon tonight. She couldn't even find any light, which scared her to death. Like a headless fly, she scurried around the forest, desperately looking for a way down the mountain.
Chu Lan's mother was also worried. She asked several people but didn't see Chu Lan. She was so angry that she couldn't help but complain a few times. In her words, she blamed Grandma Chu for looking for trouble and causing Chu Lan to go missing.
She was now elated. With a lucky star as her daughter, she wasn't afraid of Grandma Chu anymore. Grandma Chu was angry, but she still didn't say anything. She told them to hurry and find the captain.
It was terrible that a person in the village was missing. The captain immediately called a team to go into the mountain to search. Song Yang and Chu Lan went down the mountain together. Now that he heard that she didn't go home, he was quite puzzled. However, when he thought about how everyone thought that he and Chu Lan were dating before, he didn't say anything in order to not cause too much trouble. Anyway, the captain had already brought people to look for her. They would definitely find her.
Chu Lan was in the forest. Her clothes were torn by the branches. She fell several times and lost a shoe. Her body and face were dirty. Her hair was messy, and her face was full of fear and helplessness.
The captain and the others searched for two hours before they found her. What they saw was her beggar-like appearance. At that time, many people had a question in their hearts. Wasn't Chu Lan a lucky star? Was a lucky star like her? Where was the lucky star?
