Although Su Jiaojiao grew up in a small greenhouse, she still knew what was good and bad. Moreover, she still had the memories of the original owner.
Working in the fields was very tiring, especially in July and August. In her memory, the original owner's parents, brother, and sister-in-law all lost a lot of weight. No matter how arrogant the original owner was, she wouldn't cause trouble for the family. Of course … she didn't work.
The main reason why she didn't work was because she knew how to pretend. Every time she was busy, she would feel uncomfortable. Her parents loved her, so naturally, they didn't say anything. Her brother and sister-in-law also didn't say anything. Occasionally, her sister-in-law would be dissatisfied, but she would suppress it.
Because the original owner didn't eat much food. Usually, she would eat some eggs and so on, as long as it wasn't food.
But now that she was married, it seemed that she had no reason to refuse?
No, she still had a reason!
But before she could say it, Sun Fang was already unhappy: "I say, why do you always stare at Jiaojiao? Are you dissatisfied with her? It's so hard to work in the fields. Jiaojiao's skin is soft and tender. What if she gets sunburned? Will you compensate me with a girl? "
Zhang Qian was once again refuted by his mother-in-law's sharp tongue. His face was as red as a pig's liver. Just as he was about to talk back, his leg was touched.
She turned her head and saw her husband frowning. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears.
Su Jiaojiao embarrassedly turned her face and looked at her mother. Seeing her mother's face was not good, she went over and leaned her head: "Mom, it's okay. Sister-in-law's words are reasonable."
Sun Fang said with heartache: "Wait a little longer. Don't you still have money? Use it first. When your man recovers, let him work by himself. This money, mom spent so much effort to get it back for you. Isn't it because I want you to live a better life? "
Do you really think that fighting with people is not scary?
If you really fight, you will definitely lose a lot of hair. Most women fight by pulling their hair.
Su Jiaojiao nodded again and again. "Well, don't worry. I definitely won't work. I just wanted to tell you, Mom. Since you and I have the same idea, then it's just right. We can work when the family really runs out of money."
She really thought so. Anyway, as long as nothing major happened, the two thousand yuan could be used for a long time. Compared to the prices, it might be a few hundred thousand yuan in a few decades. She only had five years left before she could be free.
Moreover, he had the matchmaker system to help him.
Although Mission 9 was a bit of a scam, at least it was almost completed, and the reward was generous enough.
Song Qinghan nodded as well. With a serious expression, he said, "Jiaojiao, don't worry. We still have some money at home. Once my leg recovers, I can go back to work. Jiaojiao doesn't eat much, so we can afford it."
Sun Fang looked at her honest and simple son-in-law and felt even more comfortable. She smiled and said, "Jiaojiao is really smart. That's how it is. Moreover, once your man's leg recovers, can't he still work?"
Zhang Qian silently listened to the entire conversation. She fiercely ate a dumpling as her heart was filled with endless grief. Why didn't she ….. meet a husband like this? Parents like this?!!!
Little sister really has a good life!
Thinking of this, her heart became even more sour, but she really didn't dare to say anything.
"Mom is right!" Su Jiaojiao nodded seriously. She looked at her with a silly smile. She looked at her sister-in-law and felt helpless. She had fought with the original owner for so long, and now she still had to fight with her. However, she didn't realize that she was always losing out.
She really was poisonous. She had to find a chance to make her parents split up. Otherwise, she would feel like she was taking advantage of her.
After eating, Su Jiaojiao brought Song Qinghan back.
As for washing the dishes …..
Su Jiaojiao felt that they should be fine washing the dishes since she gave them a bag of flour and they ate a lot.
After all, she was filial to her parents, but she didn't need to be filial to her brother and sister-in-law, right? Not to mention the three little radishes.
However, Zhang Qian looked at her arrogant back and almost ground his teeth to pieces.
Fortunately, she wasn't washing the dishes alone. After she left, Zhang Qian poked Li Xiu who was washing the dishes seriously. "Don't you feel uncomfortable? We used to raise little sister alone, but now there are two of us! Also, I saw that Song Qinghan ate a lot! "
Li Xiu looked at her faintly. "Don't forget the fifty yuan. The flour also belongs to him, but the meat ….."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued washing the dishes.
Although she was straightforward and jealous, she could see more clearly. Especially before her little sister got married, they didn't eat so well. Since they ate so well after they got married, then they should eat first.
As for whether there was enough food ….. That wasn't her concern.
Although Li Xiu didn't finish speaking, Zhang Qian also remembered that the meat was bought with fifty yuan after Song Qinghan and the Song Family split. A portion of the lean meat was given to the couple, and the fat meat was kept.
Zhang Qian: "….."
She was stunned for a moment. When she thought of this, she still felt uncomfortable. Why did she feel that her little sister took advantage of them?
Her parents-in-law were really not clear-headed. They were the eldest son and eldest grandson, but they were treated worse than a little girl!
However, since no one cooperated, she could only hide the twists and turns in her heart.
*****
Compared to other families, their home was particularly quiet and comfortable.
Because the two of them weren't husband and wife, Su Jiaojiao and Song Qinghan lived more like roommates.
The two of them lay on the bed, covered with a thin blanket, and there was still room for one more person.
Back then, Song Qinghan had deliberately asked someone to make the bed a little bigger. She had wanted to make two beds, but Jiang An had persuaded her not to. After hesitating for a while, she couldn't bring herself to do it, so she had made the bed a little bigger than other people's.
But now …..
Song Qinghan looked at the person on the other side of the bed. She didn't seem to be asleep. Under the faint light, a pair of big eyes blinked from time to time. He felt that her long eyelashes were brushing against his heart, making his heart itch.
Su Jiaojiao was still lying on the bed, but she didn't have anything to do.
She didn't have a watch, so she couldn't estimate the time. However, she wasn't tired today, and there wasn't much to do at home. Before she felt sleepy, she opened her eyes and imagined that she had returned to her original world.
Unexpectedly, as she was thinking, she suddenly felt her eyes warm, as if someone was looking at her.
Su Jiaojiao turned her head and vaguely saw Song Qinghan, who was tilting his head and looking at her. Her heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong?"
Song Qinghan shook his head and asked, "Can't sleep?"
"Mm." Su Jiaojiao nodded dejectedly. "There's nothing to play with. There's nothing to eat. There's nothing to look at. There's nothing ….."
Song Qinghan was silent.
He didn't have anything either.
So he couldn't give it to Jiaojiao.
"Sigh …" Su Jiaojiao sighed faintly. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "Eh, it's raining?"
The sound of the rain hitting the roof tiles wasn't loud, but it was clear and crisp.
Song Qinghan smiled. "Mm."
Su Jiaojiao crossed one leg and said with a smile, "I used to especially like to walk in the drizzle. I always felt that it was very romantic ….."
Song Qinghan frowned slightly. He didn't quite understand the word romantic, but he still tried to cooperate with her. "What about now?"
Su Jiaojiao pursed her lips and said unhappily, "I don't like it anymore."
Previously, she had pursued romance with her best friend. In the end, both of them fell ill. Her illness was more serious, and it directly extended to pneumonia. It lasted on and off for a long time, and it was very painful.
So now, she didn't like it at all.
But there was something she didn't say.
It was rare for a young man and a young woman to sleep in the same bed as them. Su Jiaojiao also tilted her head to look at him. In the dim light, their slightly reflective eyes looked at each other, and it was actually a little scary.
However, Su Jiaojiao didn't feel afraid. Perhaps it was because Song Qinghan's identity as a soldier was more profound.
Even if he had retired, the sense of security he gave her made her feel at ease.
The rain outside was getting heavier. The two of them looked at each other without saying anything, and they fell into a strange atmosphere.
Su Jiaojiao's face started to turn red.
Previously, she had thought that if the two of them didn't have feelings for each other, she would leave when the college entrance examinations resumed in 1977. Then, she would take the opportunity to get a divorce.
However, she didn't think about what she would do if they did have feelings for each other.
However, after getting along with each other for a while, Song Qinghan's behavior of giving her all the money and coupons he had on hand was quite shocking. Although she didn't really want it, she was still touched.
Song Qinghan was quite good-looking. Not only in the village, but also in the future world. Among the people Su Jiaojiao knew, he was quite good-looking. If he was a little fairer, he would be even better looking. Whether it was his temperament or his personality, she was quite irritable. When she met people who didn't get along with her, she would be so angry that she didn't care about anything.
Just like what happened to the Song Family's parents previously, she was really angry. That was why she took a knife and hit them directly. If she didn't have a good time, they wouldn't have a good time either.
Previously, when they separated from the family assets, although there was an element of it intentional, he didn't care at all when she embarrassed him in front of so many people. This was even more satisfying.
A man like this, even in the 21st century, would be a good husband candidate. In her previous life, she didn't get married because she was traumatized by the fast-paced romance of her classmates. She simply couldn't be bothered to find a boyfriend and became a senior otaku.
But now, she had a ready-made husband who was quite suitable. Then … why should she reject him?
She had transmigrated to this book world, but the people here were all real. She didn't know if she would return in the future. Of course, she had to live each day well. So …
As Su Jiaojiao was thinking, Song Qinghan suddenly moved.
He reached out, wanting to touch her hand. He asked shyly and helplessly, "Are you … cold?"
Su Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled. She replied softly, "Cold."
Song Qinghan became bolder and reached out a little.
Now that the weather was hot, she covered her stomach with the blanket. Her hand was outside and he would be able to touch her soon …
Suddenly, a bright light flashed outside the window. Song Qinghan took the opportunity to see the exact position of her hand and reached out.
"Rumble —" An earth-shattering sound was heard.
"Hualala —" Rain seemed to have been poured down from the sky.
Su Jiaojiao was struck by the lightning and trembled all over. She retracted her hand. At the same time, she felt a chill and quietly adjusted the blanket a little better.
Song Qinghan was stunned for a moment. He felt that his hand was empty. His lips were slightly pursed and he felt a little wronged.
He had forgotten that he had been so focused on the lighting that he had forgotten the real consequences of the lightning. He heard that girls were more timid?
The two of them were silent. Su Jiaojiao looked at him awkwardly. At the same time, the lightning continued to appear, illuminating the grievance on his face.
Su Jiaojiao's heart softened. She was also surprised to find that she did not seem to reject living with Song Qinghan in the future.
Yes, and she did not see much. Song Qinghan was the male lead in the novel, but the places she saw, the male and female leads only had a shallow and almost negligible interaction.
So she did not have to worry about it. If they could be together, it would not be bad, right?
With this thought, coupled with the softness in her heart, Su Jiaojiao's little heart began to beat rapidly. However, she took a deep breath and firmly reached out to hold the disappointed hand. She said softly, "I'm a little scared."
Song Qinghan instantly sobered up. He pursed his lips and asked tentatively, "Come a little closer? I'm not afraid. Come closer. "
Su Jiaojiao smiled silently, but she still nodded and leaned a little closer.
Song Qinghan could not help but smile. His other hand was sweating, and he secretly rubbed it on the blanket.
However, the two of them had never interacted with the opposite sex before, so they were quite embarrassed. They did not really get very close, just about five centimeters.
When they were about close enough, they stopped.
Song Qinghan was also very satisfied. There was a smile on his lips, and he held her soft and tender little hand in his hand. He felt as if his whole body was about to float, but he was also like a hot balloon that was about to explode.
Su Jiaojiao was much better. She was indeed afraid of thunder. The earth-shattering sound was like an ethereal particle that could be blown away by the wind.
The power of nature was too frightening.
When she reached the seaside, she did not dare to look down. That was the fear of the deep sea. She always felt that the sea was too scary and could swallow her at any time.
But at this moment, her hand was tightly held. She felt a lot more at ease and smiled contentedly. Listening to the sound of the rain and the occasional thunder outside, she squeezed the big hand in her hand and said softly, "Let's sleep."
Song Qinghan: "Okay."
Then he continued to tilt his head and peek at her.
This time, he did not dare to be so obvious. His gaze fell on her hand and face without stopping for a moment.
*****
The rain was unexpectedly too heavy and did not seem to stop for the entire night.
When she woke up in the middle of the night, Su Jiaojiao wanted to go to the toilet, but she was too scared to go. Her legs were shaking as she hesitated.
Fortunately, Song Qinghan reminded her that she still had the spittoon. She silently carried it to the next room to use it.
When she returned, she saw that the rain was still as heavy as before she went to bed. She felt uneasy.
Unfortunately, the book started with autumn and did not mention this content. She did not know what was going on.
The next morning, the two of them woke up in the chilly temperature.
As soon as Su Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she saw the man looking at her. His gaze was gentle, a stark contrast to the first time they met. She couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, her cheeks slightly red.
Song Qinghan coughed softly. His handsome face was also red. His voice was soft as if he was speaking with his mouth. "You're awake. Do you want to rest for a while?"
"I'm not sleeping." Su Jiaojiao wanted to get up, but only then did she realize that her hand was still being held. She immediately smiled brighter and said coquettishly, "Let go. I'll cook the dumplings and add an egg."
"… Oh." Song Qinghan reluctantly let go of her hand, but his gaze was still following her.
Fortunately, at this time of the year, there was no need to change clothes.
Su Jiaojiao calmly got up, put on a jacket, and went out.
Unfortunately, it was still raining outside.
In this courtyard, the kitchen was at the side. Fortunately, the eaves were lengthened when they were building, so they did not get wet when they walked over. However, their trousers would still be splashed.
The place where they slept was close to the kitchen. If there was any noise, they would be able to hear each other. The dumplings were not frozen, so they could be cooked in a hot pot. It was a little cold outside. Su Jiaojiao directly shouted at the kitchen door. "Get ready to eat."
"Get up." Song Qinghan got up after Su Jiaojiao woke up. It was not a cement road, so it was wet and slippery outside. He did not go out to help.
In the past, he would go over to help reduce the fire. It was easy to sit in front of the stove, and the two of them could even talk.
When Su Jiaojiao heard his response, she immediately came over with a bowl. She was busy preparing the seasoning. When everything was ready, she came out and sat down to eat.
Song Qinghan waited for her to eat together.
"I'm so tired. When your leg is better, I won't cook anymore." Su Jiaojiao yawned. She had slept well, but in this rainy weather, she still subconsciously wanted to sleep.
Song Qinghan nodded seriously. "Okay, I'll work hard."
Su Jiaojiao smiled with satisfaction. "Since your performance is so good, I'll allow you to drink a cup of malted milk powder today."
She ordered a cup of malted milk powder for the two of them before bed. It could be considered as nourishing for the body. In fact, Su Jiaojiao wanted milk powder more. She heard that malted milk powder was considered a beverage. Milk powder was the real nourishment for the body. However, she could only wait until the next time she went. She had to bring a milk powder ticket and see if the supply and demand cooperative had it.
Song Qinghan smiled. "No, you can drink it yourself. I'm very healthy."
Su Jiaojiao glanced at him and raised her eyebrows meaningfully. Song Qinghan silently lowered his head and did not dare to resist.
*****
In June, it rained more often.
It rained all night yesterday, and the next day, it rained all morning. It was not easy to clear for half a day. The next night, it rained again, but it was not as heavy as before.
The roads in the countryside were wet and slippery when it rained. Su Jiaojiao was too lazy to go to the Su family's house for a meal. She simply stayed at home and thought about the food.
Although she had never taken the initiative to cook, she had watched a lot of videos. Therefore, she still had the ability to do it herself. In addition, she had a lot of things at home.
For example, at this moment, she was trying to make Liangpi. She had just kneaded the dough and put it in water. She handed it to Song Qinghan. "Wash it like you wash clothes."
Song Qinghan looked at the dough in the water basin with a strange expression. He stretched out his hands and began to work.
Su Jiaojiao's eyes were full of expectation. "Let's eat some vegetable buns for lunch. We can eat Liangpi at night. I'll make hot and sour Liangpi for you. It's delicious!"
"Okay!" Song Qinghan had never eaten or made Liangpi before. However, he also expressed deep anticipation. He carefully kneaded the small ball of dough in his hands.
Since it was her first time making this, Su Jiaojiao was not willing to put too much flour. She was afraid of wasting it.
Su Jiaojiao finally let out a sigh of relief. Finally, she had succeeded more than half of the process. Only when the gluten was reduced to the size of a small potion did Su Jiaojiao feel relieved.
After a few more hours of sitting, Su Jiaojiao looked at the muddy bottom of the water. The surface was clear. Su Jiaojiao poured the water away, leaving only the bottom. She found a large iron box of biscuits that she had brought from the Su family. She washed the iron box's lid, poured some Liangpi, and steamed it in a pot.
The final product was unexpectedly good.
The two worked for a long time. Looking at the translucent dough, they looked at each other with excitement. Su Jiaojiao did not expect to succeed. She shook Song Qinghan's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work. If you didn't knead it for so long, we wouldn't be able to eat it."
Song Qinghan praised her and patted her head with his other hand. "You're amazing. You can even do this."
Su Jiaojiao smiled modestly. When the Liangpi cooled down, she shredded it and burned some oil.
The chili powder was bought from the matchmaker system. When it was sprinkled, the fragrance came out. Then, with some vinegar, the color also came out.
In the somewhat stuffy air, the two looked at the food that had already taken shape. Their eyes were full of expectation. When they finally tasted it, their eyes lit up at the same time. "Delicious!"
The success of the Liangpi increased Su Jiaojiao's confidence. She thought about the things in her head all day long. Unfortunately, there were not enough fresh ingredients at home. The meat was also finished, so she could only play with flour and noodles.
Su Jiaojiao also tried the scallion oil noodles, and it was still delicious!
Just as the two of them took advantage of the rain to study the food in silence and secretly warm up their relationship, there was another rainstorm in the middle of the night. The sound of thunder woke them up.
Su Jiaojiao was dazed from her dream when she was woken up by the loud noise. She trembled in fright and opened her eyes to see that the sky was dark. She reached out to turn on the light, but she found nothing. Only then did she realize that she had transmigrated. At this time, there were no electric lights in the countryside. She immediately let out an aggrieved moan.
Fortunately, Song Qinghan woke up immediately. He hugged her and patted her back to coax her. Only then did she calm down. But soon, she felt as though the ground was shaking.
Su Jiaojiao was still in shock. She was shocked again and muttered, "Earthquake?"
"That can't be, right?" Song Qinghan said hesitantly. They had not experienced an earthquake for many years.
Outside, the rain continued to fall. It was louder than before, and the raindrops fell on the roof tiles like a drum.
The two in the house looked at each other. Su Jiaojiao moved closer without a trace. Only then did she feel at ease and widen her eyes.
It was too noisy. She could not sleep.
The rain was a little heavy today. Fortunately, the roof tiles in the house were newly installed, so they could last for a long time.
At this moment, there was some noise outside. Then, someone shouted, "The educated youth collapsed! They crushed someone. Uncle Zhang, get up and drive the tractor to town! "
