After a trip to the hospital in the city, they all felt refreshed when they returned.
There was no tractor on the way back, so Wang Xiao sent them directly to the entrance of the village. He wanted to invite him over for a meal, but he was rejected.
Su Jiaojiao followed behind her father. Su Zhengyang carried all the things on her, and Song Qinghan was also supported by him. She was not allowed to do anything at all, so her hands were empty.
When they came out, the sky was dark. When they returned, they could see the entire village. At this time, everyone was still working in the fields. There were not many people slacking off, so they did not see the two of them on the way back.
However, looking at the appearance of the village, Su Jiaojiao sighed.
When she stayed in her own place, she always felt that her time travel was not real enough. However, when she saw this scene, she confirmed it.
She left that bright and beautiful world.
It was now the year 72, and there were still nearly 40 years before it returned to the original world. At that time, she would be old.
Thinking of this, she felt very sad.
Su Jiaojiao bit her lip, and there were a few more tears in her eyes. However, she quickly lowered her head, so no one saw.
"What's wrong?" As if sensing her sadness, the person walking in front suddenly turned to look at her and asked.
Su Jiaojiao was shocked. She quickly shook her head and smiled. "Nothing, it's just … I just think that girl is quite beautiful."
She casually pointed at a girl wearing a beige shirt and a long skirt. She was walking and talking with a square-faced girl. The girl had fair skin and was beautiful. She was really beautiful.
Song Qinghan glanced at her and sized her up. Then, he nodded. "Oh."
Zhao Sisi, who had not parted ways with them, pouted unhappily. "What kind of taste do you have? I'm so beautiful, but you didn't say anything. Why did you have to talk about her? "
Su Jiaojiao chuckled. She could tell at a glance that Zhao Sisi and that girl had a conflict, so she didn't want to get involved.
Coincidentally, the two of them also came over at this moment. The girl in the white shirt looked at them and smiled. Her target was Zhao Sisi. She said meaningfully, "Sisi, you're finally back. In the afternoon, the brigade leader asked why Xiaoyue and you didn't go to work in the afternoon."
Li Yue, who had been quiet all this while, suddenly had a change in expression. "Oh no, I forgot that I only took half a day off!"
Zhao Sisi also remembered that the trip to the city was so exciting that she had forgotten about everything else. She immediately glared at her and pulled Li Yue aside. "Thank you for your kindness. We'll go look for the captain now."
"You're welcome." Xi Yao smiled and shook her head. Her small face was pretty and delicate, and her body was even more delicate.
Su Jiaojiao saw that they were talking, so she let Su Zhengyang help Song Qinghan back first. When they reached home, Su Jiaojiao gave Su Zhengyang a portion of the bags and a bag of wheat flour. She looked at him expectantly. "Dad, take this home. Mom can make steamed buns tonight? Dumplings are fine too. I think there's still meat at home. You can add some chives and eggs too. "
Su Zhengyang didn't want to take it at first, but seeing his daughter's greedy look, he took it. "I'll take the wheat flour. I don't want the rest. We have everything at home. You can keep it for yourselves. Come over for dinner tonight."
"Don't …" Su Jiaojiao was about to give more when Su Zhengyang nimbly ran out.
Su Jiaojiao could only give up. "But you're really my biological father." He didn't want to take advantage of his daughter at all. He was afraid that his daughter would be taken advantage of.
Song Qinghan smiled and rubbed her head. He supported himself with his walking stick and took out a pack of cigarettes from the cupboard in the room. "Take this back to Dad later."
"Wow!" Su Jiaojiao's eyes widened in surprise. The cigarettes in her hand were considered good in this era, especially the pack of cigarettes in her hand. It was a brand called White Cat. Not many people in the village were willing to eat it. It was usually used to entertain guests. It cost two yuan a pack, and there were ten packs of it. That was two yuan.
"How can you be so generous!" Su Jiaojiao held the pack of cigarettes in both hands and looked at it repeatedly. Her face was full of smiles. "With this pack of cigarettes, I'll let Dad pick the water at home. He'll definitely be willing."
Su Zhengyang was usually only willing to smoke the cheapest Bumper Harvest. If he made some money, he would smoke the more expensive Hongxia. Everyone in the village was like this.
Song Qinghan was also infected by her smile. He unconsciously smiled and nodded. "Anyway, it's all yours. Come, I won't smoke anymore."
"Eh? This, this is quitting smoking? "Su Jiaojiao leaned over in surprise and looked at him doubtfully." Are you not feeling well? "
Otherwise, how could he quit smoking so easily?
Song Qinghan shook his head. Seeing that she was so close, he bent his finger and knocked her head. "Go and put the things you brought back in the kitchen. Don't break them."
"Hmph —" Su Jiaojiao covered her head and pouted unhappily. However, she still happily ran to deal with the things.
She liked the feeling of slowly tidying up after she came back full of things. It was so cool!
Seeing her happy appearance, Song Qinghan couldn't help but chuckle. After laughing, he touched the corner of his mouth in confusion and was slightly stunned.
In fact, he didn't particularly like smoking. He just smoked when he was dealing with people.
However, seeing Su Zhengyang come back smoking today, Su Jiaojiao frowned and hid in a corner unhappily. She waited until the smell on his body dissipated before coming over. It was obvious that she didn't like people smoking.
Quitting smoking was very easy for him, so he left some for her and gave her a pack of cigarettes that he had bought before.
"Look, I bought a mirror! It's very clear! " Su Jiaojiao put the mirror in the room and planned to hang it on the wall. Their room was facing the south, so the sun could shine directly. It was very clear and bright. It was just right for the mirror to be in the room.
Song Qinghan looked at the simple but obviously very beautiful and clear mirror and was surprised. "Where did you get it?"
"I bought it." Su Jiaojiao said casually.
It was available in stores, but it was expensive. Most people wouldn't be willing to spend it.
After saying that, Su Jiaojiao looked at Song Qinghan guiltily, afraid that he would think that she spent money recklessly. However, she saw his gentle expression. "En, it's quite big. Just put it next to the table. The hammer is at the bottom of the cabinet, and the nail is there too."
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao nodded and went to take the things.
Other than the most important mirror, the rest of the things were mostly food. Su Jiaojiao first melted a spoonful of malted milk for Song Qinghan. "I heard that this is very delicious. Try it."
There were only two cups in the house, one for each person. Song Qinghan saw that she also had a cup, so he didn't say much. He took a small sip. The water was boiling hot, but it was also sweet. His whole body was warm and sweaty, but he still felt very comfortable.
After the two finished drinking, Su Jiaojiao washed the cups and poured the pulp and juice from the canned food she bought into the cups. She emptied a jar and filled it with malted milk. "This is for my nephew. I'll go first. If you want to eat steamed buns or dumplings, I'll bring them back directly."
There was only one jar of malted milk, so they could only divide it like this. Fortunately, the jar was big and could only hold half of it.
"I'll go with you." Song Qinghan said without thinking.
Su Jiaojiao nodded naturally. "Okay, then come out. I'll lock the door."
*****
Afraid that Song Qinghan would not walk steadily and hurt his leg, Su Jiaojiao would support him. The two of them supported each other as they walked back. Just then, a few mothers-in-law who had finished work early passed by. When they saw them, they smiled and teased, "Oh, the young couple still haven't stuck together enough at home?"
Song Qinghan coughed softly and called out "Auntie" before he stopped talking.
Su Jiaojiao was not shy at all. She smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm just afraid that Qinghan will get hurt. There's no one at home to work. If he gets hurt again, won't he cry to death? "
"Yes, it's better to be careful." The mothers-in-law immediately changed her words and said with heartache, "You two children should live a good life. In the future, stay away from the Song Family and pretend that you don't have parents."
Oh, aren't they pitiful children?
Their parents treated them like this and they could only rely on their daughter-in-law's family. How shameful was that?
How could they live without this? The Su Family was still kind. It was also thanks to Jiaojiao, this child, that they could live a good life.
Su Jiaojiao nodded with a smile and continued to walk forward. She did not notice that Song Qinghan was looking at her with a strange gaze … Did she just call him Qinghan?
This was the first time Su Jiaojiao had called him that. Her voice was crisp and pleasant to the ears. It really felt like they were a family.
His eyes sparkled and his smile became slightly more obvious.
The matchmaker system noticed it and anxiously stomped her feet again. A good mission was not released! It was blocked by the ninth mission! It had never seen a host who was so inactive in completing missions!!!
When the two of them brought the cigarettes and malted milk powder over, Su Zhengyang's eyes turned red and he shouted, "It's my daughter!"
The few children jumped up happily. "Auntie is so nice!!!"
Su Jiaojiao let Sun Fang and Su Zhengyang drink a cup. Seeing them drinking happily, she was also very happy.
Zhang Qian looked at the things they brought. She was happy but also a little upset. These were all Song Qinghan's things, which meant that her sister-in-law had married well. She was a little jealous. If Sun Fang had secretly given them to her, she would have been even more jealous.
However, when she saw her in-laws' happy faces, her two children were like kittens that had stolen a fish, so they tactfully shut up.
Tonight's dinner was made at Su Jiaojiao's request. There was not enough time to make steamed buns, so she made dumplings. There were many people at home, so they could help quickly.
Su Jiaojiao did not know how to do anything, so she remembered to learn a little this time. But when she saw that she learned quickly, she immediately sat down and played with Da Bao and the others.
Li Xiu looked at the chopped meat dumplings with saliva all the time. Her hands were particularly agile.
She wanted to eat!
Zhang Qian boasted that she was the smartest in the family. She lowered her head and worked for a while. When she saw the laughter outside, she could not help but look. She saw her sister-in-law playing hopscotch with the two older children. The rest of the children were clapping at the side.
She frowned slightly. "My little sister is already married, but she's still not grown up. She's still playing with the children. Doesn't she know that she should learn more?"
Sun Fang glanced at her. "What's wrong? Didn't she learn it already? Besides, don't forget that the flour is hers! "
"Look at you. If you don't have the ability, why don't you do more and talk less? If you can make food and drink for me like this, I'll let you do less work too! "
After being scolded again, Zhang Qian quickly shut her mouth, but her face was not looking good.
A few days ago, she received 50 yuan from Song Qinghan, but the money did not reach her.
In the end, her sister-in-law went from eating alone to eating with two people. One of them was a young man and ate a lot. There was only so much food at home. If they ate more, wouldn't she have to eat less?
It would be fine if it was just one or two days, but it had been almost ten days since they got married. They came to eat almost every day. Sometimes, they came alone. They even ate and took. The eggs at home were all eaten by them!
Zhang Qian felt that she had suffered a great loss. She was the daughter-in-law of the host family and gave birth to the eldest grandson. Everything at home would be hers in the future. In the end, everything was eaten by her sister-in-law and his wife. What was this?
Just for these two people, how many days had her in-laws taken off?
Besides, her sister-in-law did not go to work and had no work points. Where would she get food in the future?
Zhang Qian did not dare to say these words in her heart. She had mentioned it to her husband before, but was directly ignored. The more she held it in, the angrier she became, especially when she saw her slacking off.
"Mom, it's delicious!" The chubby dumplings were dipped in vinegar. Su Jiaojiao took a bite and felt that it was delicious. She did not like to eat fatty meat, but when the meat was minced, added with chives, eggs, and dumplings, it was extraordinarily delicious. She had neglected the taste of the fatty meat.
Sun Fang happily looked at her daughter's stuffed mouth. "Eat more if it's delicious. There are still twenty dumplings left at home. Take them back and have them for breakfast tomorrow morning."
Everyone in the house was immersed in the rare meat-flavored dumplings and did not speak.
Only Zhang Qian's heart skipped a beat.
But when he looked up, no one responded.
Su Jiaojiao heard and nodded in satisfaction. "Wow, Mom, then I won't stand on ceremony. I don't have to wake up early to cook tomorrow. What's there to worry about all day about? Sigh."
She did not refuse at all?
Looking at her glossy face, Zhang Qian's heart was filled with all sorts of feelings, especially when he thought about how her mother-in-law had left those dumplings behind. It was likely that she had prepared them for them. Perhaps, there was even more meat in those dumplings than in other dumplings.
She thought about it again and again, but still could not accept it. "Mom, little sister is already married. When will she go to work? It's going to be the busy season soon. By then, if she works hard, she can earn seven or eight work points. Now that brother-in-law can't earn money, we can't just sit around and eat, right? "
Su Jiaojiao was stunned. She had to earn work points?!
Suddenly, the dumplings in her mouth did not taste good anymore.
