Chapter 51 He Married a Wife, Not a Nanny
Tang Man opened the lunch box and took a sip. Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, the sour plum soup in the lunch box was lukewarm and didn't taste very good.
"If it's cold, it should taste good."
"Then I'll take the sour plum soup to the well and leave it there for the afternoon. I guarantee it will be ice cold."
"Okay." Tang Man covered the lunch box and handed it to Xie Yan. "Yang Feifei said that your mother asked you to call her."
"Okay! Got it." There was no expression on Xie Yan's face. He responded and went out with the lunch box.
Yang Feifei quickly walked over to stop Xie Yan, "Brother Yan."
"I wanted to ask you to call me Doctor Xie or Xie Yan yesterday. We are not related in any way, so please don't call me brother all the time. My wife will be unhappy if she hears that."
After saying this, Xie Yan walked around Yang Feifei and went straight back to the yard. He put the lunch box in the bucket and then sent the bucket to the well to cool it. The temperature under the well was very low, so he put the lunch box down there and he would be able to drink the icy sour plum soup in the afternoon.
After putting the sour plum soup away, Xie Yan called out, "Wife, I bought some spareribs today. How about we have potatoes and spareribs for lunch?"
Tang Man ignored Yang Feifei and walked out of the hall. "Wait for big brother to come back and do it. Your hand hasn't recovered yet."
Xie Yan smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, you just help me. The ribs need to be stewed for a while longer. When big brother comes back to cook, it may be very late before we can eat. I'll go cook first, and you can come over to help me later."
When Xie Yan walked into the kitchen, Yang Feifei rushed out, grabbed Tang Man's arm, and questioned angrily.
"Tang Man, don't you even know how to cook? Brother Yan's hand was injured, and you actually asked him to cook. Moreover, as his wife, it is your responsibility to take care of his daily life and diet. How can you let him do all these things?"
Faced with Yang Feifei's accusations, Tang Man was a little confused for a moment. It took her a while to react and she pulled her hand back.
"He married a wife, not a nanny, and husband and wife should understand and support each other. I can't cook, so he is responsible for cooking. What's the problem?"
"Is this how your parents raised you? You can't even cook, yet you take it for granted that your husband cooks for you."
As soon as Yang Feifei finished speaking, Xie Yan rushed out from the kitchen.
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law have taught my daughter-in-law very well. Speaking of education, I really want to ask how your parents educate their children?"
While Xie Yan was speaking, he had already walked quickly to Tang Man's side. He took her hand and protected her behind him, questioning her in a cold tone.
"You are an unmarried woman, but you regard yourself as someone else's fiancée all day long. You also call a man who is not related to you "brother", and even criticize and point fingers at other people's wives. Is this what you call upbringing in the Yang family?"
"feast……"
"I told you not to call me brother." Xie Yan interrupted Yang Feifei in a harsh voice, "Your Yang family is a family of scholars after all. You are so shameless to cling to a married man. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at and criticized? Aren't you afraid that your actions will ruin the reputation of your Yang family?"
"You..." Yang Feifei looked at Xie Yan with tears in her eyes, crying aggrievedly, "How could you say that to me?"
"You can humiliate my wife, so why can't I say anything about you? Besides, what you said is all nonsense, and what I said is all true."
"You... wuwu..." Yang Feifei really couldn't stand Xie Yan saying that to her, so she covered her mouth and ran away crying.
The male educated youth who was forced to watch such a big drama came out with an embarrassed look on his face. "Ahem! Um, Doctor Xie, Mrs. Xie, I'm sorry, I didn't know she..."
"Please tell Yang Feifei that she is not welcome here. Please don't come here in the future. If she needs medical treatment, please go to the hospital. Neither I nor my wife will treat her again."
Xie Yan interrupted the male educated youth, but his tone sounded friendly. The person who angered him was Yang Feifei, not the person in front of him, and he did not want to vent his anger on the other person.
"Okay, I'll leave first." The male educated youth nodded at the two of them and quickly left the clinic.
"Let's go! Let's cook." Xie Yan turned around, the coldness on his face had been replaced by tenderness. He took her hand affectionately and took her to the kitchen.
"I'll cook first. You wash the ribs. I'll teach you how to chop them later." Xie Yan let go of Tang Man's hand, scooped out the rice and poured it into the pot, then went to the back of the stove to light a fire and cook.
Although the kitchen here is not big, it has a double stove, one for cooking and the other for frying vegetables, which is quite convenient.
After the fire in the stove was lit, Xie Yan walked to Tang Man and directed Tang Man to chop the ribs with one hand.
"Xie Yan, I can't cook, is it embarrassing for you?" Tang Man asked while chopping ribs. She absolutely didn't think there was anything wrong with her doing so, she just wanted to test Xie Yan's reaction.
After all, in this era, it seems that women cook and men cook...
Except for her house, there is almost none.
"Tang Man, don't belittle yourself. You are very good. Anyone who sees you will say that I am lucky to marry you. It is my status that will embarrass you."
It was a nice sentence, but how come it changed its meaning in the end? Tang Man glanced at Tang Man and said, "Who are you? You are no worse than others, and you told me not to belittle myself. You are the one who shouldn't belittle yourself."
"Dad and my eldest brother are both soldiers. I am a demoted reformer. When I go back to Beijing with you in the future, it is inevitable that people will talk behind my back."
Xie Yan's words caused Tang Man to roll her eyes. "What's wrong with sending down the reform elements? That's the injustice of this era. It has nothing to do with you..."
Xie Yan quickly went over to cover Tang Man's mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If someone hears it, it will be very troublesome."
Well! She forgot that there is no freedom of speech in this era.
Tang Man nodded to show that she understood.
Only then did Xie Yan let her go.
"There are so many ribs. How about using some to stew radishes? Didn't Chen Xiaolong send us some radishes yesterday?"
Xie Yan always cooked whatever Tang Man wanted to eat, so of course he would not object at this time. He smiled and nodded, "Okay, then stew half and braise the other half."
Tang Ling came back when it was almost time for dinner, and he was carrying several bags of things.
"Brother, what did you buy? So much?" Tang Man walked to the table and looked through the things Tang Ling bought.
"I bought some condiments. Today I happened to see some malted milk, so I bought four cans. I also bought a few cans of canned food, two boxes of biscuits, and some candies for you as snacks. Aren't you going to infiltrate the enemy? This is a good opportunity to share some with the kids from time to time."
"I also bought some pens and notebooks, and this vanishing cream. I saw that they were available so I bought two boxes for you."
Tang Man looked through the things in the bag. "Why did you suddenly buy so many things?"
The smile on Tang Ling's face froze for a moment, and after a long while he smiled and said, "Manman, brother is going back."
