Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

"Brother Guang, since I have nothing to do today, can I watch you make one more?"

Pei Guang pursed his lips and said, "Of course, that's no problem. I really like carving now. I usually stay here and carve for fun when I have nothing to do."

"Hehe! That's great!"

Pei Liyun was envious. She was not as comfortable as the two of them, and she still had three days of wedding leave to rest. If it wasn't for the time to go to school soon, she would also like to observe the birth of such works.

The monk can run away but the temple cannot. It will be the same when she comes back at night and asks her brother to make a statue for her.

Next, Pei Guang asked her what she liked and prepared to carve a small pendant for her.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Maimai said that she liked fish.

This was how the two met, and she hopes to wear it around her neck at all times.

Pei Guang's body trembled, and he immediately understood the meaning. He couldn't help but hold her in his arms and kissed her passionately.

"Well!"

Zhao Maimai was slightly surprised, then she cooperated passionately. She wanted to be closer to the man.

A few minutes later, Pei Guang let go of her, panting, and the connecting silk thread broke.

This little devil, it’s so painful to be able to look at but not eat!

He suppressed the impulse in his heart and silently recited the Buddhist scriptures in "Journey to the West".

"When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva practiced the profound Prajnaparamita, he saw that the five aggregates were empty and was able to overcome all sufferings..."

Zhao Maimai's eyes were blurry, and she was a little confused...

After calming down, Pei Guang began to operate under the eyes of his wife.

First, I picked a small piece of mahogany, drew the shape of a small fish, then started cutting, then used a carving knife... and finally polished it with sandpaper.

The pendant was relatively small, and Pei Guang completed the production process in more than 20 minutes.

Then use acrylic paint to color it, and a bright red fish pendant is ready. You can hang it around your neck by just attaching a string to it.

Zhao Maimai was extremely excited watching all this, her eyes never left the place for a moment, and she had no intention of making a sound to disturb them.

Even after the work was completed, she still felt unsatisfied. Seeing the man's smooth movements, she actually had the urge to learn from him.

"Brother Guang, why don't I learn carving from you? It seems so interesting."

Pei Guang waved his hands and said, "Stop it. My movements may seem simple, but there are many tricks involved. If you are not careful, you may hurt your hands."

"Just like when you were weaving bamboo before, it's easy to scratch your hands, and in serious cases, they will be useless."

"Look at the calluses and wounds on your hands. You need to take good care of them."

After hearing what the man said, Zhao Maimai had to give up the idea. She wasn't that smart, and she had learned bamboo weaving for so long but she wasn't that good at it. She should not embarrass herself in front of the man.

Then Zhao Maimai drove the man out and started to clean the room. It was hard to be in a good mood living in such a dirty and messy environment.

Chapter 99 Analysis of the Situation in the Hospital

After cleaning, she picked up the dirty clothes in the house and started washing them at the sink.

Pei Guang couldn't help but smile when he saw this. He usually washed his clothes by himself, but now he could finally experience the benefits of having a wife.

When several neighbor aunties saw this, they praised Mai Mai a lot, saying that she was a virtuous and good girl and was so diligent on the first day she got married.

Although Zhao Maimai blushed, she worked even harder.

At lunch time, she looked in the kitchen and found that there were almost no vegetables left, only rice, flour, corn and other grains.

At this moment, she couldn't help but think, the man usually made some good food in the steel mill, so where did it come from? Where was it made?

It's impossible that they used public food, because it's all recorded. It's impossible to cook in the kitchen, and it's not so blatant to cook for yourself.

She had asked this question before, but the man didn't elaborate, so she didn't ask any more questions. Now her curiosity was aroused again.

Facing the issue of finding a daughter-in-law, Pei Guang had already thought of a solution before getting married. He smiled and said, "I rented a small house on the back street of the steel mill. I usually cook there and bring some home after get off work."

"After all, we live in a courtyard, where there are many people and eyes. If we cook too much meat, it will definitely arouse other people's suspicion."

Zhao Maimai nodded in understanding, and then asked about the source of the meat.

"Hey! You know I have a good relationship with my boss, so it's not difficult to get some meat."

Zhao Maimai had no idea what was going on, and as long as the man didn't do anything out of line, she would just let it go.

Then she cooked a pot of porridge and steamed some buns, and they both ate happily.

After all, in such a period, being able to eat fine grains is such a luxury.

Being a bit bored in the afternoon, Zhao Maimai suggested that they go fishing together.

She has been suffering from psychological trauma ever since the drowning incident a year ago, but now that she is married, it seems as if all the trauma disappeared overnight.

Moreover, I had just learned how to fish and had not had the chance to fully experience it when that incident happened.

Looking back on it now, I can’t help but want to try it again.

Pei Guang had no objection. With him by her side, nothing serious would happen.

Little did they know that not long after the two left, a small figure sneaked to the door of Pei's house. Who else could it be but Bang Geng?

He is seven years old this year and has not yet started school, so he can enjoy his childhood without any worries.

He hadn't eaten meat for a week, and when he smelled the aroma of meat coming from Pei's house last night, the glutton in his stomach started to act like crazy.

But the conditions at home did not allow it, so he could only think of a way on his own. Now that no one was at the Pei family, he rolled his eyes and had the idea of ​​cheating.

He looked around carefully, and seeing that no one was around, he reached out and pushed the door.

The door didn't budge. Hey! What happened?

Then he realized there was a lock on the door, and he couldn't help but kick it, gritting his teeth in anger.

Just when he gave up and went back to the middle courtyard, he saw Tian Xiulan coming out, and another idea popped up in his mind.

He knew that Xu Damao must be at work at this moment, so there would be no one at home, so he tiptoed into Xu's kitchen.

After taking a quick look around, he didn't see any meat, but there was a steamed bun in the pot. He picked it up without hesitation and ran away.

"Hoohoo!"

After running to the middle yard, he was gasping for breath. After all, it was his first time stealing something and his heart almost jumped out.

Fortunately, the process went smoothly. Touching the steamed bun in his pocket, Banggeng couldn't help but smile with joy.

.........

On the other side, Pei Guang and his wife strolled to Shichahai.

Although it was working hours, there were still a lot of people around, men, women, young and old were all present.

Pei Guang found a suitable fishing spot. The couple each had a fishing rod, put cooked corn kernels on it, and cast out.

The two chatted while waiting, and Pei Guang told them some basic information about the hospital.

Zhao Maimai was shocked when she heard this. She had already seen the calculating uncle Yan Fugui before. It was he who picked up the fish that the two of them caught and even wanted to steal it afterwards.

At that time, she was sad for causing the man to lose the fish, and her family could not afford to pay the compensation. Fortunately, she got the fish back later.

The fact that she was asked for rent from her own son opened her eyes. If family members were so calculating towards each other, how could there be any family affection at all?

Thinking about how her grandfather had devoted his heart and soul to this family, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that she was not born in a family like the Yan family.

The second uncle Liu Haizhong, who dreams of becoming an official and likes to show off his power, is partial to his eldest son and occasionally beats his other two sons to vent his emotions.

This made her frown even more, as the bangs gave her an even worse feeling than Yan Fugui.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai has no children and is worried about the problem of elderly care. He advocates the spirit of respecting the old and loving the young, and sometimes he will blackmail everyone to help the weak. He is fine on weekdays, but he will become selfish when it comes to the issue of elderly care.

People are inherently selfish, which Zhao Maimai can understand, but it is not appropriate to use moral blackmail on others.

His wife already knew about the Jia family's affairs, so Pei Guang didn't say much.

To sum up, except for the Jia family, who cannot be contacted, although other family members have their own calculations, they have no conflict of interest with our family, so we can just get along as ordinary neighbors.

There are a few other families who are close to him, and they can visit him more often and lend a hand if there is anything going on.

At this time, Pei Guang noticed that the float on his wife's fishing rod moved, and reminded her.

Zhao Maimai looked excited, and sure enough, she saw the float rising and falling.

"Maimai, pull the lever!"

Zhao Maimai reacted quickly and a pulling force was transmitted to her hand, which made her happy instead of surprised.

Oops! You're hooked!

The fish was not very strong, so Pei Guang was directing from the side to prevent any mistakes.

A few minutes later, the fish was successfully pulled up. It was a carp, estimated to weigh one kilogram.

"Brother Guang, I caught a fish!" Zhao Maimai shouted excitedly, like a lively little squirrel.

Then the two of them talked about some interesting things from their childhood while fishing, which didn't seem boring at all.

Two hours later, the two had caught a total of six fish, of varying sizes, with the heaviest weighing no more than two kilograms.

"Brother Guang, let's take the fish home and go to the market to buy some vegetables. We still have two days of vacation, so let's cook at home."

Pei Guang agreed and suggested, "Mai Mai, I'll teach you how to ride a bicycle tonight. It's good to have more skills."

"Great!" Zhao Maimai was overjoyed. Now that she had learned how to ride a bike, it would be convenient for her to go out to buy groceries in the future.

After returning to the yard, they attracted a crowd of neighbors, who were all impressed by their fishing skills.

The best fisherman in the academy is Yan Fugui, but if he's lucky he can catch two fish, but catching two fish is commonplace for the air force.

In comparison, Pei Guang is still more skilled.

Others expressed their desire to learn a skill and provide some extra income for their families.

Pei Guang did not refuse. He thought it was great to be self-reliant and said he would invite them to go fishing next time.

Chapter 100 Emergencies

Rushing forward into the wind

I wanna be my own hero

Holding back tears and pain

Just for the unchanging dream in my heart

......

Pei Guang was driving his wife to the vegetable market. The spring breeze blowing on his face made him hum a little tune.

Zhao Maimai was in the back seat of the car, listening to the trendy tune and the inspiring lyrics, and couldn't help but humming along.

Unfortunately, there were only a few sentences repeated over and over again, which whetted her appetite, like eating a fly, stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down.

"Brother Guang, is this a song? How does it go on at the end?"

Pei Guang stroked his chin and laughed awkwardly: "I just hummed it casually, of course there is no following."

He was not a music lover. He had just seen this song during a school sports meet in his previous life. He thought it sounded nice and only remembered a few lines of it.

When I’m in a good mood on weekdays, I can’t help but hum a few lines.

Zhao Maimai was extremely amazed. The man could hum so beautifully just a few lines. His talent was truly terrifying.

I feel that no matter what industry a man enters, he can make a name for himself.

After they bought some vegetables, Zhao Maimai just returned home and begged the man to teach her how to cook.

Although her skills were pretty good, they pale in comparison to those of men.

She intends to be a good wife and mother, so she can't neglect things like cooking too much.

Pei Guang was naturally happy about this. Not only did he get to enjoy the benefits of his wife's good cooking skills, but he also had time to be lazy.

The only downside might be that your skill proficiency cannot be improved, but master-level cooking skills are enough, so there is no need to force it.
