EBE Chapter 26 Get up early
Chapter 26 Get up early
Guan Lei was very happy, although she did not feel the so-called happiness.
Zhao Yang was very rough and didn't care at all whether she was in pain or not, but even so, she still cooperated and let out happy moans.
Zhao Yang was very satisfied and slapped her on the butt as a reward.
She couldn't help but think of her sister.
Poor sister, she must have fallen asleep a long time ago.
After all, tonight in her previous life, that cold man didn't sleep with her because it was too late, and he also said that there was a lot of time and asked her to go to bed early.
Haha, you don’t look like a man at all!
With a sarcastic smile on her lips, she hugged Zhao Yang even tighter.

the next day.
It was just daybreak and the rooster had just crowed for the second time when Guan Lei faintly heard a knock on the door.
She slept very late last night. Although the incident only lasted a few minutes, she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep for a long time because of the great happiness in her heart. She only fell into a drowsy dream in the second half of the night.
There were three more hard knocks on the door.
She was wide awake.
She remembered her mother saying that on the second day after a wedding, one should get up as early as possible and must not get up late, lest the in-laws be unhappy.
She responded, quickly getting up and turning on the new lamp on the bedside table.
In the light, she saw that the hour hand of the large clock on the opposite wall had just pointed to 6.
She jumped out of bed and searched the closet for a new set of clothes. Her mother had taken her to a tailor to make the clothes for her. It was an eight-panel red suit jacket and black Dacron straight pants, both made of the most popular fabrics and styles at the time.
She stood by the mirror and took off the small clips and rubber bands on her hair that she had not had time to take off last night.
Because she had used a lot of hairspray when she put her hair up, her hair felt stiff and couldn't be combed. She thought she might as well wash her hair first, so she took a basin to the kitchen to scoop water.
She opened the door and just as she stepped over the threshold, she found Zhao Yang's aunt standing at the door with her sleeves rolled up.
I guess it was her who knocked on the door just now!
Because of what happened in the bridal chamber last night, she didn't have a good impression of the old woman, so she didn't say anything and walked straight past her. Aunt Zhao Yang glared at her and followed her.
It is difficult for villagers to get water, and they have to fetch it from springs far away, but Zhao Yang's family is an exception.
Last year, the wealthy Zhao Yang asked someone to bring a few bags of cement and dug two water cellars at their gate, one for cooking water and the other for washing clothes and feeding livestock.
He hauled water from the county town for cooking, filling up a tricycle each time, enough to last for several months.
The water for washing clothes is collected from rainwater when it rains. In the past two years of drought, there has been little rain, so the water is brought back from a river far away.
The two water cellars are usually locked.
Guan Lei walked into the kitchen and looked. Both buckets were only half full of water. She picked up the ladle and scooped a full spoonful.
There was no well in their Guan Gorge, so they had to go to the big windlass well in the next village to fetch water. Her sister would go early in the morning to line up to fetch water and fill the water tank at home.
Even though it is so difficult, she still washes her hair once every three days and washes her clothes once a week because she loves beauty.
She looked at the basin and felt that there was not enough water, so she planned to scoop another half spoonful.
"With the way you use water, I'm afraid even if Zhao Yang builds ten water cellars it won't be enough."
Guan Lei ignored her and continued adding water.
Anyway, she will not stay here for more than a few months, and will not have any contact with this old woman in the future. Zhao Yang will soon buy a big villa in the county.
The aunt couldn't stand the way she treated her like air, so she raised her voice and said, "Didn't you hear me?"
Guan Lei looked straight at her and said coldly, "Aunt, how I use water and whether the water cellar is sufficient, this seems to be our family's business, so you don't need to get involved."
"You, how can you talk to me?"
"Aunt, you should go back and take care of your own daughter-in-law. After all, you and I have nothing to do with each other."
Zhao Yang's mother Feng Zhuanxia came in through the front door, buttoning her trousers.
Guan Lei was stunned.
She thought that except for Aunt Zhao Yang, the nosy old woman, no one else had gotten up yet. After all, it was only a little after six o'clock.
She was a little nervous, wondering if her mother-in-law heard what she had just said.
"Hey, Zhuan Xia, you came at the right time. Look at this woman Zhao Yang. She needs so much water just to wash her face. I have to say a few words and she doesn't want to hear it."
Feng Zhuanxia looked at the basin and said with a smile: "It's okay, sister. Leilei just got married and needs some time to adapt. Besides, we don't lack water here."
Guan Lei knew that her choice would not be wrong.
Look, not only is her husband rich, but even her mother-in-law loves her so much!
She quickly said, "Mom, I'm not wasting water. It's because there's too much hairspray on my hair, and I have a lot of hair."
Feng Zhuanxia still looked like a loving mother and said, "It's okay, go and wash. If there's not enough water, I'll ask Zhao Yang to get a few more buckets later."
"Zhuanxia." Feng Zhuanhong looked at her sister with resentment. She couldn't understand what was wrong with her sister. She usually looked like a tigress, but today she turned into a sheep.
When Zhao Yang didn't get married, he said that he would definitely make his daughter-in-law obedient in the future, but now? She is more considerate than her own mother.
Haha, you can only talk big.
She said angrily: "Zhuanxia, have you forgotten what you said? You said before..."
Feng Zhuanxia waved her hand, signaling her to stop talking.
Feng Zhuanhong turned around and left angrily.
Feng Zhuanxia took Guan Lei's hand and said gently, "Leilei, you are going to cook for us today. Your father and I really want to taste your cooking skills. You are new here and you are not familiar with the food yet. I will ask Zhao Mei to help you later."
"Thank you, Mom."
"It's okay, go wash your hair."
Guan Lei was very worried.
Because of her mother and elder sister, she had never cooked at her parents' home. She did cook a few times after she married into the Gu family in her previous life, but they were only vegetable soup and a few cornmeal pancakes, all of which were made by Gu Errong's sister-in-law Huang Chunyan.
It’s all because the Gu family is too poor. The old couple are like vampires, sucking up all their money. How could she have the chance to learn how to roll noodles!

Guan Lei stood in the kitchen, not knowing where to start.
The white flour is placed in a conspicuous position, but which bowl is used to knead the flour?
There were several basins on the chopping board, on the jar, and on the table.
Fortunately, Zhao Mei came over quickly.
"Sister-in-law, my mother asked me to come over to help you. Just tell me what you want. By the way, use this basin to knead the dough." Zhao Mei handed over the blue basin on the jar.
After Guan Lei put the bowl into the noodle bag, she was in trouble again. How many bowls of noodles should she take out?
Zhao Mei understood when she saw her expression and said, "If we make long noodles, two bowls of noodles are enough for our family. If we make flat noodles, one and a half bowls is enough."
"it is good."
Guan Lei clumsily took the noodles, picked up the ladle, scooped some cold water and poured it on the noodles.
Zhao Mei looked at her in surprise, as if she were an alien.
