Chapter 42 Calculation
Guan Youshuang, who was entangled with Gu Errong, listened with her ear tilted to the side as Wang Huiying took Yuanyuan to the main house.
She originally wanted to come down to see what was going on, but Gu Errong was in such high spirits that he kept pestering her.

at the same time.
Zhao family.
After finishing, Zhao Yang fell into a deep sleep contentedly, snoring heartily. Guan Lei endured the discomfort and reluctantly took a shower, then lay beside Zhao Yang, unable to sleep that night.
The watery moonlight shone through the window and projected onto the back wall. She stared blankly, her tears streaming uncontrollably onto the buckwheat pillow.
The events of the afternoon are still fresh in my mind.
In order to please my husband's family, when I went back to her parents' home today, in addition to bringing steamed buns and tofu pudding from my parents' home, I also used the money my mother gave me to buy a bowl of stuffed skin and a fried cake for each member of my husband's family.
The Zhao family's noodle machine has been repaired. She learned how to knead dough from her mother in the morning. She walked into the kitchen with confidence, ready to cook a meal for the family.
Although Zhao Mei taught her how to use the pasta machine, she found it was not that easy to operate when she actually used it.
She struggled for more than an hour, sweating profusely, but somehow that side became harder and harder, and finally broke into palm-sized pieces that could not be put together no matter what.
She did what her mother told her to do.
She picked up the bowl and looked at it. Sure enough, it was almost the same size as the one at her mother's house. Maybe the water temperature was too low.
She was so anxious that she wanted to cry. What should she do? There was only half a basin of noodles!
At this time, Zhao Lan came in.
She was going to wash a cucumber and eat it.
Zhao Lan had always ignored Guan Lei, and Guan Lei didn't like her either, but at this moment, she was still a little panicked and subconsciously blocked her way.
Zhao Lan took a quick glance and suddenly asked, "Is it because the noodles can't be connected together?"
Guan Lei was stunned. She didn't expect Zhao Lan to say this on her own initiative. She nodded and asked in a flattering manner what to do now?
"It's okay, just pour it out secretly." Zhao Lan said kindly, "When we first bought this noodle press, my mother couldn't press it properly several times. I don't know how much noodles she poured out."
Guan Lei was very hesitant, "Wouldn't this be a waste?"
Zhao Lan took out a basin from under the chopping board and said, "Just don't let my parents see it. How about this, this basin is usually not used, you put these noodles in it first, cover it, and when everyone is asleep at night, you can secretly pour it outside the door, it's okay."
Guan Lei listened to Zhao Lan.
Zhao Lan smiled secretly, and considerately helped her fill half a basin of noodles. She taught her the techniques of kneading the noodles and the operation of the noodle machine, then went out with the cucumber.
Guan Lei kneaded the dough again.
I don’t know if it was really a problem with the water temperature or just good luck, but this time the dough was pressed quite smoothly. After only the fifth round, the small dough balls were already connected.
Although it was a little soft, my mother said that it was okay and she could just sprinkle some corn flour on it at the end.
She wiped her sweat, fried the臊子 and made the soup as Zhao Mei said. When everything was almost ready, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to boil water calmly.
Later, her mother-in-law Feng Zhuanxia came in to help her taste the soup and sprinkle some seasoning.
Everything was normal during the meal, and her mother-in-law even praised her, saying that Guan Lei was very capable, as she herself failed to roll the noodles the first time.
She felt happy.
After dinner, the weather was nice and the breeze was fresh, so the whole family stayed in the yard chatting.
When everyone was chatting happily, Zhao Lan said she was going to drink some water.
Then she came out with the bowl of noodles, her face full of surprise: "Mom, what's in this bowl of swill? Why are there so many noodles?"
Guan Lei's heart sank, and she couldn't help but shout, "Zhao Lan, didn't you say that?"
"What did I say?" Zhao Lan opened her eyes wide. "Sister-in-law, you just got married, how come you've already learned to frame others? Did I ask you to pour the noodles into the swill basin?"
Guan Lei was furious and said angrily: "Didn't you tell me to put this noodles in this basin, and then secretly pour it outside when everyone is asleep at night? Didn't you also say that mom has poured a lot of noodles before? I didn't expect you to be so insidious!"
"That's enough!" Feng Zhuanxia scolded, "What did Zhao Lan tell you to fall? Zhao Lan told you to die, so you went?"
Zhao Lan looked at her with glee.
Feng Zhuanxia waved her hands and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. I just want to ask you, what's going on here? Is it Zhao Lanhe's?"
"I, I don't know why this side can't be connected." Guan Lei stammered, "Mom, I was wrong."
"Is it all over just because you said one wrong thing? Do you know how many people this half basin of flour can feed? Even if our family is not short of food, we can't let you waste it like this!"
She would never forget the look of her father-in-law Zhao Hongcai pointing at her and roaring, his eyes as big as cow's, as if he wanted to eat her.
She knew she was wrong, but she hated herself for being so stupid and being tricked by the villain Zhao Lan. She bit her lip and said nothing.
Her mother-in-law Feng Zhuanxia pointed at her nose and cursed at her. She really pointed at her nose and said that for a spendthrift like her, even if the grain station was moved to her home, it would not be enough for her to spend. Sooner or later, their Zhao family would be defeated by her!
She felt upset and turned to look at Zhao Yang, hoping he could say a few words for her.
But after looking at her coldly, he brought up the matter of spending more than 200 yuan at the western restaurant in the county town, and then mentioned that she didn't borrow money from her parents' home today.
In short, she was described as worthless!
She was disheartened and looked at Zhao Mei again. The latter coughed lightly and whispered that even if the flour really could not be pressed, it could be washed and used to make fermented rice noodles. It would be a pity to throw it away. Then she went to coax the child.
She was attacked by the whole family one after another, and Zhao Yang would torture her at night, regardless of whether she was in the mood or not.
She felt her eyes hurting and the pillow was soaked, so she turned over and closed her eyes.
I listened quietly to Zhao Yang's snoring and stayed awake all night.

Early the next morning.
Feng Zhuanxia knocked hard on the door outside and said loudly, "Leilei, hurry up and sweep the yard."
Guan Lei responded, rubbed her sore eyes, and prepared to get up.
Zhao Yang, who had not changed his sleeping position all night, woke up. He was full of energy. He hugged her and started to rub her face, eagerly pulling her clothes.
Guan Lei was angry and aggrieved. She pushed him and said, "You only know how to do this. You don't care whether others feel uncomfortable or not."
Zhao Yang's beard pricked her chest, and he said with a playful smile: "Oh, my precious egg, why is it unhappy? Let me caress your precious egg."
"You didn't help me with what happened last night." Guan Lei's tears rolled down again.
Zhao Yang helped her wipe her tears, kissed her, and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, you really did do something wrong yesterday. You said that our parents are both from poor backgrounds, they are used to saving money and can't stand any waste. If I don't follow their will, won't they hate you even more in the future?"
Guan Lei felt that what Zhao Yang said made sense and she calmed down a little.
Talking about the bad things Zhao Lan did, Zhao Yang said: "She is just a child. Even though she is older than you and mentally immature, you should not bother with her. I will teach her a lesson later."
"I still say the same thing, I will definitely make you the happiest woman in the world." Zhao Yang patted his chest.
After all kinds of assurances and coaxing, Guan Lei was finally happy and cooperated with him to unlock a new trick.
After finishing, Zhao Yang fell asleep contentedly. She put on her clothes and went to the yard without washing her face.
