When she woke up, the air was still moist and cool. It was a very comfortable weather.
There was no such thing as staying in bed in summer. When she woke up and became clear-headed, Su Jiaojiao got up. She rubbed her eyes and went out to wash up. When she picked up the cup, she suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice. "Jiaojiao!"
Su Jiaojiao looked over in surprise and saw Zhao Sisi, who was holding a bowl in the yard next door, waving at her.
Although Zhao Sisi was arrogant, she was not arrogant. She treated people warmly. Even though she had only met Su Jiaojiao once and had only spent a few hours with her, she was still very warm when she approached her again. She was … very familiar with people. It could be seen from the day she ordered food that her character was careless and even a little unscrupulous.
Su Jiaojiao did not hate such people, nor did she like them very much. She would not take the initiative to make friends, but she would still respond when others were warm to her. Therefore, she immediately raised a smile. "You are here."
Eating coarse food that was painful to the throat, Zhao Sisi leaned against the wall of the yard. "Yes, the captain said that we, the educated youths, were moving. We were also frightened yesterday, so we don't need to go to work. Aunt Wang is so nice. She even left a meal for me."
The fenced yards of the two houses were not high. There was an aisle in the middle that was about a person's width. They were also very close to each other, as if they were in the same yard.
"Then you went to rest?" Su Jiaojiao saw that she was so familiar with people, and subconsciously said in a joking tone with friends, "Look at you, you were not frightened?"
Zhao Sisi curled her lips unhappily. "Who said no! Didn't I sleep until I woke up naturally and felt comfortable? "
Su Jiaojiao smiled. "Yes, you are right."
The weather was still sunny today, and the road was not slippery. Breakfast was simple. Song Qinghan volunteered to use his crutch to make egg noodles. He added some vegetables that Sun Fang threw in the yard this morning.
The taste was delicious, but the eggs were not enough.
She had to consider raising a hen to lay eggs.
She was thinking about the food, but her mouth was not listening. Zhao Sisi, who was leaning against the wall and eating, was extremely envious. She lowered her head and looked at the food in her bowl. She felt that she was eating pig food. She looked at her and swallowed her saliva. "Jiaojiao, I also want to eat eggs. Can I exchange it with a cloth coupon?"
Su Jiaojiao shook her head regretfully. "I don't have many eggs left. I'll change them when I raise chickens."
Zhao Sisi nodded. "Okay, okay!"
With hope, Zhao Sisi felt that the coarse grain in her bowl tasted a lot better. Before, when they were in the educated youth camp, everyone ate together, but there was not much delicious food. After all, they could not afford to raise chickens, so they had to eat by themselves. However, it was not easy to go to the county. It took a long time to walk. Most of the girls in the city were more delicate.
At this time, the system, which had been silent for a long time, finally excitedly released a mission. 【Ding! Mission 10: As the head of the family, you must have a skill. Please choose your profession and earn the first bucket of gold. Reward: two hens that can lay double yolk eggs and a magical spray that can speed up bone repair!】
After being forced to be locked in the small dark room last time, the matchmaker system was more cautious when releasing missions. Otherwise, it was afraid that the host would be too lazy to do missions and enter the small dark room again.
It also took advantage of this time to go to the system's family forum to learn for a while. It finally learned how to release missions that could make the host completely reluctant to give up.
First: Increase the mission reward. Second: Step by step, there are levels!
Look, with such a big reward and a profession, how many branches could she develop in the future that could speed up the marriage progress bar!
The matchmaker system rubbed its hands and loudly stated the mission requirements.
It really gave Su Jiaojiao a fright. With such a rich reward, it still wanted to confirm her profession. For a moment, she was stunned.
This system suddenly changed from an amateur to a professional.
However, she suddenly felt that it was a lot more fun and Su Jiaojiao became a bit more interested.
"Is it too bad to eat? How about you drink malted milk powder? " Song Qinghan came over and saw that there was still more than half of her bowl left. He was a bit depressed and asked. He always cooked well and did not have any skills.
Su Jiaojiao shook her head and looked down at his legs. She drank a mouthful of soup and her round eyes curved. She returned to the main room and no longer chatted with Zhao Sisi. Instead, she pulled Song Qinghan and said, "What do you think I can do to make money? Other than physical work. "
Song Qinghan casually fiddled with her hair that had not been tidied up. He wanted to tidy it up a bit and said, "It depends on what you like. Don't feel burdened. The money can still be used for a long time. After I recover, I can go back to work."
He had been working for as long as he could remember. He was very indifferent to returning to the land.
Su Jiaojiao turned her back and said vaguely, "Help me braid my hair while you're at it."
She liked it when others combed her hair. As long as it did not hurt, it felt like a scalp massage.
Song Qinghan's hands trembled and his ears turned red. He really went to the room with his walking stick to get a comb. He reached out to untie her long braid and carefully tidied it. When he saw her washing her hair, he wanted to help. It must be very tiring to tidy up such long hair.
Su Jiaojiao thought as she ate. What should she do?
At this stage, doing business … was actually still possible. For example, Zhao Sisi, who had just spoken, was a very good place to make money.
She was a coward and did not dare to go to the black market. Therefore, she could not do big business. However, she could do small business. Besides, this kind of business was much safer than going to the black market. She did not say how much the first bucket of gold was.
Su Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and said seriously: [I want to be a chef.]
The matchmaker system said seriously: [Host, are you sure you want to be a chef?]
[Yes!]
The matchmaker system: [Host, this system has the most detailed recipes in the world. Whether it's text or videos, it has everything. It only costs 88 yuan. You won't lose out or be tricked …]
Su Jiaojiao hesitated. However, there were only two or three complete videos in her mind. If she really wanted to use this to make a living, she would have to pay a little.
At present, it seemed that the things given by the system were all very good. Even the spicy strips, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all after eating them. The iodine-like liquid was also much better than ordinary medicine. After such a long time, the hideous wound on Song Qinghan's waist and abdomen had scabbed over, and the scars on both sides had faded a little. Nakagura's leg was almost healed, leaving only a white spot.
Thinking of this, Su Jiaojiao slowly turned her head.
Song Qinghan was afraid that he would hurt her, so he immediately loosened his grip.
Su Jiaojiao probed: "If there is something very good, but it costs a lot of money, can I buy it?"
"Yes." Song Qinghan smiled and nodded: "It's up to you. However, if it's too much, you still have to be careful. After all, I won't be able to get the money in such a short time."
Su Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled: "You're so nice."
When she smiled, the flesh on her cheeks piled up. Song Qinghan's hand itched to poke her face. Seeing her glare at him, he hurriedly moved closer: "I'll braid your hair for you."
"Oh."
*****
Su Jiaojiao really bought it. Then, a recipe book appeared in her mind. Basically, as long as she wanted to make something, such as flour, several things would appear in her mind. If she thought about it more carefully, she would be able to see the specific steps. Occasionally, if something was missing, she could even use something to replace it.
It was indeed worth it, although it was a little expensive.
In this era, 88 yuan could be the annual income of a small family.
Su Jiaojiao was distressed and excited at the same time. She couldn't wait to try cooking.
Two rough braids swayed. Su Jiaojiao drank the last mouthful of broth and ran to the kitchen to look at the clean and tidy stove. Then, she looked at the locked cabinet at the side. When she opened it, there were all kinds of white sugar and flour inside. There was quite a variety.
Su Jiaojiao glanced at them one by one and finally decided what she wanted to make — a chicken cake.
There were not enough eggs at home. There was only one left. Su Jiaojiao ran to the Su family's house.
Only Da Bao and his two younger brothers were playing in the Su family's house. When they saw her, they immediately ran over and hugged her leg: "Auntie!"
"Hey!" Su Jiaojiao smiled and pinched their cheeks: "Auntie wants eggs. Do you have any eggs?"
"I don't know." The two children shook their heads in puzzlement. Xiaobao also shook his head and grinned so widely that his eyes could not be seen. He was so happy.
Su Jiaojiao simply went to get the eggs herself. She was familiar with them anyway. She directly took five eggs: "Da Bao, let's go to auntie's place to play?"
"Okay!" The three children immediately followed.
Su Jiaojiao locked the door and smoothly took the five eggs and the three children home. She officially began to work.
Song Qinghan completely agreed with her actions and was even willing to help her crack the eggs.
Su Jiaojiao was just a commander, so it was easy for her to do the work.
It was relatively simple. It was Su Jiaojiao's first time making it. She strictly followed the recipe and took a long time. When the egg cake was out of the oven and they smelled the fragrance, they immediately felt energized. The three children who had been circling around Su Jiaojiao stared straight at her and were unwilling to move.
Su Jiaojiao also took a deep breath in satisfaction. Her nose was filled with the sweet fragrance. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Song Qinghan: "How is it? I'm amazing, right?"
Song Qinghan nodded and said seriously: "Amazing!"
Su Jiaojiao chuckled and waited for a while before taking out the steamed egg cake. She didn't make much, just one serving. She estimated it to be about a catty. She cut it into several pieces and gave each child a small piece. "Try it. Is it delicious?"
Su Jiaojiao also cut a piece for Song Qinghan and herself.
What kind of constructive answer could the two children give? As long as it was sweet, they would nod and say it was delicious. Song Qinghan was more rational: "It tastes good, but the egg taste is a little strong. Maybe it's because there's not enough flour."
"Should be?" Su Jiaojiao also tasted it herself. It was indeed a little weak.
However, it was still delicious. It was even better than the egg cake she had eaten in her memory!
She patted Da Bao's little head: "Da Bao, do Auntie a favor."
"Auntie, tell me!" Da Bao was already satisfied after eating the egg cake. He patted his stomach and looked expectant.
"Go next door and call Sister Zhao Sisi over."
"Okay!"
In less than two minutes, Zhao Sisi's cheerful voice sounded: "Jiaojiao, what's wrong?" She walked closer. Before Su Jiaojiao could speak, she sniffed: "Oh my god, what's this smell! It smells so good! "
Su Jiaojiao came out of the kitchen and immediately pulled her in. She pointed at the egg cake on the stove and raised her eyebrows: "What do you think? Do you want it? "
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Sisi was more excited than Su Jiaojiao imagined: "I haven't eaten this in a long time. It smells so good! The egg cake sold in your county is not as fragrant as this. How much is it? "
"It depends on how much you want." Su Jiaojiao said: "I can give you half a catty at most."
Zhao Sisi was also very decisive: "Then I'll take half a catty."
The market price of egg cake was two yuan per catty, but it still needed a ticket. It was especially difficult to get a ticket in the countryside. Zhao Sisi was treated the same way in the countryside, but her family could send it over. Unfortunately, she ate a lot and lived a luxurious life. She had already used up the tickets, so it was very slow to send a letter. Her family did not send a new ticket, so she really had not eaten for a long time.
Su Jiaojiao saw that she was so supportive, so she immediately said: "Alright, then I won't ask for a ticket at the market price."
Zhao Sisi happily nodded and directly took out the money from her pocket.
[Ding, mission complete — —]
Su Jiaojiao was filled with joy. She cut a large part of it and placed it on the scale brought by the Su Family. After determining that it was half a catty, she didn't care about it and directly gave it to her: "Here, remember to bring back the plate."
"Alright, alright, I'm going to find Xiao Yue." Zhao Sisi immediately left with the things in her arms.
Su Jiaojiao saw her leave and said to Song Qinghan who had been stunned the entire time: "Calculate it, did we lose money or not?"
"We didn't lose money." Song Qinghan didn't need to calculate before shaking his head.
Half a catty was one dollar, but this half a catty of egg cake didn't cost a dollar. The five eggs only cost a bit over a dime. Some flour, sugar, and other things didn't cost much. Calculating it carefully, it only cost a bit over five dimes.
"Da Bao, take this ….." She wanted to take it back, but Su Jiaojiao was afraid that the child was too young and would lose it, so she took back her hand: "Let's go, it's almost time to eat, so let's just go and eat."
"Alright, alright, auntie, I'll lead the way!" Da Bao pulled Xiao Bao and Er Bao out first.
Su Jiaojiao supported Song Qinghan with one hand and held the basket of egg cake in the other: "Let's go and discuss this with mom and dad. If Zhao Sisi and the others still want it, then we can directly order it and I'll make it. Although it won't be much, we can still earn a bit, right?"
Song Qinghan looked at her, "We've already earned a lot."
"Ah? Really? "Su Jiaojiao was confused.
Song Qinghan rubbed her head again and didn't say much. If she didn't know, then she didn't know.
****
Sun Fang and Su Zhengyang looked at the egg cake that their daughter brought to their mouths, but they couldn't bear to eat it. Both of them waved their hands: "Jiaojiao, keep it for yourself. Mom doesn't have anything good here, if you want to eat it in the future, there won't be any left."
Su Jiaojiao raised her little chin and said proudly: "It's okay, I'll make it again. This is very simple!"
"Jiaojiao is really amazing." Su Zhengyang praised.
Su Jiaojiao was even happier and forced them to eat two bites: "This is for you guys, hurry up and eat."
Most of the old people she knew in her previous life had diabetes, but the people she knew now were very few, and most of them were even malnourished.
The Su family's family conditions were considered good in the village. They were the kind of family that made a fortune by being bored, but no one in the family was fat. Only the Song Family, because they were raised by Song Qinghan, were abnormally fat.
Therefore, Su Jiaojiao always wanted the two old people to eat more.
Sun Fang and Su Zhengyang were touched by their daughter after she became sensible. Eating the sweet egg cake in their mouths, their hearts were even happier, and their eyes were filled with tears.
Therefore, when Su Jiaojiao told them about the next plan, they agreed without hesitation.
"There are two old hens at home, and sometimes they can lay three eggs. Mom will keep them for you. Don't worry, you can have as many as you want."
"Mom, you're so nice!" Su Jiaojiao smiled and nodded.
Although she was going to have two hens soon, the eggs could be used to make delicious food. If she had more, she could earn more money. As long as she … could make a name for herself!
She believed that with the detailed recipe, she could definitely do it!
After listening for a long time, Zhang Qian said with a bitter taste in his mouth: "Mom, you're so generous to Little Sister. Your grandson is so stingy when he wants to eat an egg, but you're giving Little Sister as much as she wants?"
Sun Fang said unhappily: "You're saying it as if I don't give you any. Don't you make eggs for the children every few days? Otherwise, how can the three children grow up so well? You have two at home. "
Zhang Qian was so angry that he laughed: "How can that be the same? Little Sister can eat an entire egg casually, but the three of us share an egg drop soup! "
Su Jiaojiao frowned: "Sister-in-law, you're wrong. Mom and Dad raised Big Brother, why do you still want them to raise your children? The egg is theirs, and they didn't take anything from you. Naturally, they can give it to whoever they want! "
"What do you mean?!" Zhang Qian didn't understand this sentence. Instead, he felt that it was easy for the other party to talk. He became angrier and stood up with a cold expression: "Little Sister, of course you don't care that you're biased. Have you ever thought about your two brothers?"
"Enough, all of you shut up!" Su Zhengyang roared.
Zhang Qian was so scared that he shrank back and didn't dare to make a fuss.
Usually, their father-in-law wouldn't speak to them easily. They didn't expect him to be angry this time.
Su Jianhua was also a little dissatisfied, so she didn't say anything. However, when she saw that her father was angry, she immediately pulled her daughter-in-law's sleeve awkwardly and told her not to speak up.
As for her second son's family, they had been watching from the sidelines. Now that they saw their eldest son's family being humiliated, they all snickered.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law was scared, Sun Fang sneered: "How did Jiaojiao let down her two brothers? Doesn't she always give the good things to the three children first? As for my things, don't think that you're at a disadvantage. Jiaojiao was alone before, but all of you are married and have families. Do you really think that you don't have enough to eat? Besides, how many days has it been since Jiaojiao got married? She's already an eyesore?! Why don't we split up? Since the children are married now, we might as well settle the score. In the future, we'll live our own lives. You just need to give us retirement money. "
"Okay, okay." Su Jiaojiao nodded happily and added fuel to the fire: "So that we won't always be calculative. Let's just split up. This way, we can settle everything clearly and don't be jealous in the future."
As the tree grew, the branches would split. This was very normal. When the children grew up and got married, they would have their own small families. Naturally, they would have to separate. As for how they should live, this year was much better than 60 years ago. They would be able to survive.
However, Su Jiaojiao was the only one who was happy. She nodded eagerly. Her two brothers' faces darkened and they shouted threateningly: "Jiaojiao ~"
Su Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled, then became obedient again.
Song Qinghan secretly gave her a look, wanting her to not be so arrogant. Otherwise, the family would not be able to live in peace. However, Su Jiaojiao did not see it.
Zhang Qian's face was pale. He could not eat the remaining few mouthfuls of rice. For a moment, he stood there in a daze.
She was the kind who liked to be calculative. She would feel uncomfortable if others took an extra mouthful of rice. She always felt that she was at a disadvantage because she felt that she was the eldest. In the future, she would be supporting her two parents. Naturally, everything in the house would belong to them.
However, no matter how calculative she was, Zhang Qian really did not think of splitting up. After all, there was meat to eat with her parents-in-law. Her parents-in-law were strong and skilled at work. They were able to earn eight to nine work points. Her parents-in-law were even more impressive. They could find ways to make money to supplement the family when they were not working. Furthermore, they did not eat much. Naturally, the extra food would be given to the younger generation.
If they really wanted to go out alone, they would definitely not be able to live as well as before.
The others also thought the same. Suddenly, they all panicked.
"Mom, don't joke around. Why should we split up? We are a family. Zhang Qian just doesn't know how to talk." Su Jianhua looked at Sun Fang ingratiatingly and begged.
Su Jianjun and Li Xiu nodded frantically. "Mom, you always know that sister-in-law's words are unpleasant. We didn't say anything. We also don't want to split up. If we really want to split up, then let Big Brother and sister-in-law do it. In this way, no one can take advantage of them!"
Zhang Qian's face was pale, but he did not dare to throw a tantrum at this time. He softened his voice and apologized. "Mom, it's all my fault. I was too calculative. Don't be angry. Why should we split up? Little Sister can take whatever she wants. We are a family …"
Su Zhengyang's face darkened, but he quickly recovered. He was not unhappy. Instead, he nodded thoughtfully.
In an ordinary family, when a daughter got married, the family would be split between the brothers. However, in this family, the daughter was also a treasure. Because she was the youngest, they loved her more than their sons. She was not married off yet, so they could not ignore her. Therefore, it was natural that the two daughters-in-law were unhappy.
However, as their daughter said, they had already raised them and did not owe them anything. It was their freedom to treat whoever they wanted well. If they still wanted to scheme and cause trouble in the family, then it was better to split up cleanly. When the time came, they would not say anything.
Therefore, amidst the objections, Su Zhengyang nodded seriously. "Yes, it's time to split up."
Su Jianjun's face changed drastically. He looked at his mother's ugly expression and then at his father. Suddenly, he felt as though the sky had collapsed. Just a moment ago, he thought that his mother would be fine if he coaxed her. Now that his father was in such a state, his legs went weak. He knelt on the ground and hugged his father. "Dad, don't split up! How are we going to live if we split up?!"
Sun Fang looked on coldly and felt helpless. These children were their parents' little cotton-padded jackets when they were young. But now that they had grown up and had their own families, they had their own plans.
This was human nature, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
Sun Fang knew the condition of her son-in-law's injury. In the future, there would be many things that she would need to help her daughter. Now, when her daughter still had things to give them, she was already jealous of her sister-in-law. Who knew what would happen in the future?
She herself grew up in a family that valued boys over girls. Naturally, she could not bear to see Jiaojiao face such a situation, especially since this was her precious baby that she had doted on for almost twenty years. If Jiaojiao did not want to split up, she would not have said this. But since Jiaojiao agreed and was obviously very happy, she did not intend to delay any longer.
This time, she did not relent. Facing a bunch of bitter faces, she said firmly, "Split up! After dinner tonight, go and invite the brigade leader over. "
