"Where did you get it? I magically made it! " Sun Fang rolled her eyes and proudly carried the pile of cloth into the room. She even sang, "It's good to have a good daughter. Jiaojiao, go back and rest. Mom will make you a beautiful dress!"
Su Jiaojiao looked at her attitude and suddenly laughed. "Okay, thank you, Mom. I'll go back first."
Zhang Qian looked at the mother and daughter. His teeth and stomach ached and his eyes ached. He felt uncomfortable all over. However, she had just lost her composure. She didn't look well now, but she couldn't say anything.
Who asked her to deliberately react like that when her sister-in-law came back?
At this time, Zhang Qian looked at Su Jiaojiao again. He suddenly found that his sister-in-law looked much better than before. Not only did her skin become fairer, her eyes seemed to have become bigger, her hair looked better, her waist was slim, and her breasts were not small. When she walked, just looking at her back made him feel that she was pretty.
Seeing that she was about to reach the door, Zhang Qian couldn't help but step forward and pull her. "Little sister, where did you get this cloth ticket?"
Su Jiaojiao smiled. "It's from Qinghan. He saved it and didn't use it. I saw it and used it."
"So much. It must have cost a lot, right?" Zhang Qian asked again.
The cotton cloth was 40 cents per foot. The ticket was free. In fact, Su Jiaojiao only spent four yuan. She shook her head. "Not much. Only four yuan."
Zhang Qian sucked in a breath of cold air. "Ten feet!"
"Okay."
Zhang Qian released his hand in a daze and turned back to the room. He looked at the man who was sleeping and snoring and slapped him.
Su Jianhua moved. She was not completely awake and murmured, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Qian said faintly, "Little sister bought ten feet of cloth!"
Su Jianhua casually agreed and was about to go back to sleep. Who knew that she would wake up and sit up in shock. "Ten feet?!"
"She brought the tickets?"
In the villages, under normal circumstances, during the harvest season, there was no shortage of food. There was very little money and coupons, and there were many people in the family. How could there be enough food? However, ten feet of food was too much!
Zhang Qian naturally knew this as well. His eyes became more and more sorrowful. "She said it was Song Qinghan."
Su Jianhua was silent. As a soldier, it was normal for him to have a ticket. It was probably the national ticket.
When Zhang Qian saw that he was silent, he pushed him and said, "Go and tell Mom that our Da Bao and Xiao Bao haven't had new clothes for a long time. Look at Da Bao's clothes, there are already a few holes in them. My poor son is the eldest grandson of your Su Family!"
If it were any other day, he would have gone. However, they had just separated from their family yesterday. Yesterday, all of them had looked at Su Jiaojiao coldly and wanted to beat her up. Now, they wanted to take their things back?
Su Jianhua lay down silently, not making a sound.
Zhang Qian was angry and shouted, "Why don't you go!"
"We have already separated from our family. If you want to go, go. I'm not going." Su Jianhua said in a muffled voice and closed his eyes again.
Zhang Qian also kept quiet. He did not dare to go. Sun Fang was already angry because of what he had just done.
However, he really coveted the color of the cloth!
*****
After returning from the Su Family's residence, Su Jiaojiao took two eggs and went to return the bicycle.
The person who owned the bicycle was Wang Jianye's brother, Wang Jianjun. The two families were next to each other. When Su Jiaojiao came out, she saw a slender figure running quickly towards Wang Jianye's house. Behind her was Song Qinghan's mother.
Song Qinghan's face was full of anger. Song Qinghan's mother looked flustered and kept shouting, "Hey, come back. Let's talk nicely …"
Just as they were about to enter the brigade leader's house, Mama Song saw Su Jiaojiao and immediately glared at her before rushing in.
Su Jiaojiao was stunned when she saw this scene. Curious, she took two steps forward and heard Xi Yao's aggrieved cry. "Captain, I brought back so much food, but they took it all away. In the end, they only gave me cornbread. And it's the green kind with wild vegetables. Why?! I wanted to cook alone, but they didn't give me any food … "
"Captain, everyone in our family eats like this. She's not the only one who eats. Besides, although there's a lot of food, it can't last for long. We're all honest farmers. Naturally, we have to be frugal!" Song Qinghan's mother's righteous voice interrupted Xi Yao's crying.
When Su Jiaojiao heard this, she basically guessed what had happened. The Song Family was greedy for other people's food. If they didn't give Song Qinghan a normal meal, how could they bully the supporting female lead? That's why they came to complain.
After hearing this, Su Jiaojiao went back.
On the way back, she met Zhao Sisi, who was about to go to work. She was walking listlessly. When she saw Su Jiaojiao, her eyes lit up and she ran over. "Jiaojiao, what delicious food will you cook today?"
She raised her eyebrows as she spoke, clearly hinting at her.
Su Jiaojiao also raised her eyebrows. She mimicked her expression and said softly, "Braised pig trotters. There are only two trotters. If you want, I'll save one for you. Tonight, I'll make pork bone broth noodles."
Zhao Sisi held her arm excitedly. "I want it! I want it! I want to eat noodles too! "
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao nodded.
She immediately received a joyful thank you. Only then did the two of them separate.
Braising pig trotters required a long time until the trotters melted in the mouth.
Therefore, Su Jiaojiao immediately started cooking as soon as she got home. There was a stove at home, but she didn't know how to start a fire. Therefore, before she started, she opened her big innocent eyes and looked at Song Qinghan.
Only this time, Song Qinghan acted as if he didn't understand. He held a book in his hand and didn't look at her at all.
"Song Qinghan!" Su Jiaojiao shouted coquettishly.
Only then did he react. He turned around, but his gaze was filled with condemnation. It was a silent condemnation.
Su Jiaojiao was puzzled. She didn't understand. Weren't the two of them fine just now? Why was he acting so weird the moment she went out?
Could it be that he was on his period?
Perhaps men would occasionally be uncoordinated for a couple of days. Su Jiaojiao had a big heart. Seeing him like this, she jogged over and sat beside him. She leaned against him and rubbed his shoulder. She whispered, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? "
That voice was soft and sweet. Song Qinghan's handsome face, which was trying hard to maintain a straight face, started to blush. His gaze kept looking at the beam and the table, but he didn't dare to look at her.
He finally knew why his parents-in-law doted on her so much. How could he remain calm when she acted so coquettishly?
However, he still stubbornly said with a straight face, "No."
Su Jiaojiao curiously moved her face closer. His cheeks were already red. She immediately laughed. "Are you shy?"
Song Qinghan glared at her. He didn't want to say anything.
She was actually laughing at him?
Su Jiaojiao was indeed laughing. He was good-looking, and when he was shy, he was especially charming. But why did he ignore her just now?
She held his warm face with both hands and deliberately squeezed in between them. She squeezed his lips until they were pouting. Then, she fiercely put on a straight face. "Tell me, why did you ignore me just now?!"
Song Qinghan was being bullied. He wanted to reach out and restrain her. However, even if he held her hand, he couldn't bear to use force. But if he didn't use force, he couldn't pull her hand away. Suddenly, there was a hint of bitterness in his eyes. He looked at her and said vaguely, "What did you call me?"
Su Jiaojiao was stunned. "Song Qinghan?"
Song Qinghan narrowed his eyes. His expression, which had just eased a little, instantly tensed up again.
Su Jiaojiao finally reacted. She smiled sweetly and said, "Do you want me to call you something else?"
Song Qinghan looked down unnaturally. He didn't dare to look at her.
"Then what should I call you?" Su Jiaojiao wasn't a shy person. When she saw him like this, she even wanted to bully him. Therefore, she deliberately moved closer. Their faces were so close that they seemed to be able to feel each other's breathing.
Song Qinghan's body trembled. He tightened his grip on her wrist, then loosened it. He said honestly, "This is too distant."
They were already husband and wife. What's the point of calling each other names?
Su Jiaojiao finally let go of his flushed face. She leisurely said, "Then … should I call you husband?"
"No!" Song Qinghan quickly shook his head. He couldn't just randomly call her that.
Su Jiaojiao smiled and continued to tease him. "Then husband?"
Song Qinghan saw through her thoughts. His heart softened and he was annoyed. He stared at the smiling girl. His breathing became heavier. This little rascal wanted to bully him. But how could he be so easy to bully?
Su Jiaojiao was smiling happily. However, she inadvertently met his gaze. Her heart tightened and she felt a little flustered. Just as she was about to retreat, her wrist suddenly tightened. She threw herself forward and directly into his arms. He hugged her tightly. A low and threatening voice sounded in her ear, "If you still can't think of it, then don't think of it!"
Su Jiaojiao's face turned red. The low and deep voice in her ear made her body tremble. She couldn't smile anymore. Her face became hot. After a moment of silence, she whispered, "Qinghan ~"
Her voice was still sweet, but it also had a hint of shyness and delicateness. Song Qinghan buried his head in her shoulder and laughed. Satisfied, he let go of her hand. "I'll go light the stove for you."
Su Jiaojiao blushed and raised her head. She angrily glared at him. She pouted and didn't help him up.
Fortunately, Song Qinghan's other leg was almost completely healed. He could walk normally with one leg. Therefore, he calmly got up. However, when she was about to leave, he held her hand.
Originally, Su Jiaojiao wanted to withdraw her hand, but he held it tightly. At that moment, she only cared about her heart beating wildly. She didn't say anything and obediently followed beside him.
Just when the atmosphere between the two was good, the matchmaker system's voice suddenly sounded in Su Jiaojiao's mind. 【Ding! Mission 11. Loving husband and wife must have a kiss in the morning and at night. Please insist on having the husband give the wife a kiss every night. Every morning, the wife will give the husband a morning kiss. Reward: Marriage fund increase of 1 yuan per day, a can of nutritious milk powder per month, and a snack of your choice (daily).】
Suddenly, her smile froze. She seriously stared at the words: Have the husband give the wife a kiss?
This was too f * cking embarrassing!!!
Su Jiaojiao was stunned by the mission's content. However, this was a continuous mission. As long as she completed it, she would receive a reward. And the reward was so great!
Just for the reward, she wanted to complete it.
However, it was still early and she had to work.
Su Jiaojiao quickly threw the mission to the back of her mind and began to get busy.
The two of them worked together and got twice the result with half the effort. At the same time, the atmosphere was good.
Su Dou didn't feel that time had passed. First, he lit the stove. Then, he braised the pork trotters, braised meat, braised eggs, braised potatoes, etc.
For the rest of the time, Su Jiaojiao used another pot to cook the bone soup. She added some ginger and other ingredients. The bone soup was milky white and fragrant, but it wasn't greasy.
When everything was done, she looked at the time. The sky was red and smoke was rising from the chimneys of the neighbors not far away. There were sounds of people in the village.
To the left of their house was Aunt Wang's house. The right side was empty. There were few houses here, and the wind always blew from left to right. Any fragrance wouldn't drift outside. It was very safe.
Zhao Sisi informed Aunt Wang and came directly. When she walked into the kitchen, she smelled the rich fragrance. She immediately swallowed her saliva. "It smells so good! Jiaojiao, I want to eat. Hurry up!!! "
In the face of such a customer, even if Su Jiaojiao wasn't a professional chef, she still felt very satisfied. She scooped out the pork trotters for her. "This is for you. Do you want noodles? Bone soup and braised meat noodles. "
"Yes!" Zhao Sisi nodded without hesitation. "Two portions. I'll call Xiao Yue over."
After she finished speaking, she took a bite of the pork trotters in the bowl. She was so happy that she didn't know what time it was.
Su Jiaojiao naturally knew the taste of the pork trotters. Before they got off work, she had already eaten one with Song Qinghan. They each ate a few mouthfuls. There wasn't much pork trotters, but they were very tender. She had cooked it for a long time, and with the addition of the spices, the pork trotters melted in her mouth. It had a high-quality gelatinous texture.
Seeing that she liked it, Song Qinghan couldn't bear to eat more. He endured it after tasting a mouthful. When Su Jiaojiao finished eating the meat on top, he continued to gnaw on the bones. He couldn't bear to leave a single bit behind.
This was also a compliment to Su Jiaojiao's cooking.
Although most of the braising work was done by Song Qinghan, she was the one who bought the ingredients.
At this moment, Zhao Sisi felt the same way. After just one bite, she felt so delicious that she wanted to jump up. However, she held it in. After tasting a mouthful, she abruptly stopped eating. The tip of her tongue lingered in her mouth as she recalled the delicious taste. She had already run away.
After a while, Li Yue came over with two bowls. The two girls shared the pork trotters and a bowl of bone soup noodles. There was also freshly braised pork belly on top.
Although Li Yue was small and thin, she had a big appetite. She finished both bowls clean.
After eating their fill, the two girls left. After a while, two more girls came. They were brought over by Zhao Sisi. It was equivalent to helping her pull in business.
Su Jiaojiao didn't refuse. A bowl of bone soup noodles was ten cents a bowl. If it was meat, Su Jiaojiao's knife skills were average. The meat she cut was also quite big. It was one yuan and five cents. It was one or two cents cheaper than the ones sold outside. Moreover, they didn't need to pay for it. Therefore, they felt that it was a good deal.
It wasn't that Su Jiaojiao was bold and dared to cook and sell food at home. It was that even if these people didn't pay, she would only say that she was treating them to a meal. No one would be able to make a mistake. Moreover, she didn't cook much. If no one came, she could finish it herself.
When it came to business, they never talked about money. It was all about whether to give or not. However, the girls who came over didn't want to take advantage of her. Therefore, Su Jiaojiao was very assured to give out the food.
The girls who came were all female educated youths. Song Qinghan hid in his room and didn't care about these things.
A total of four girls came. After eating, they chatted for a while. They talked like friends about what happened in the village.
One of the girls said, "When I came over just now, I passed by the Song Family and heard them arguing. However, Xi Yao didn't say anything. It was the Song Family's old lady who was scolding people."
The girl who spoke looked at Su Jiaojiao. They had all heard about the conflict between Su Jiaojiao and the Song Family. The Song Family's old lady didn't know how to behave. Now, she was arguing again. It was really annoying.
Zhao Sisi was quite interested in Xi Yao's matter. She immediately came over and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's said that Xi Yao directly handed the food to the captain and exchanged it for money. Then, she gave the Song Family the rent according to the year. After that, she moved out and stayed with the Song Family. She has nothing to do with the Song Family anymore." At this point, the girl sighed and said, "Xi Yao is really amazing."
Su Jiaojiao nodded. "She is quite amazing."
If it were another girl, she might have really been bullied. As expected of the supporting female lead.
Zhao Sisi sneered. "So amazing. Previously, she acted like a little white rabbit and needed people to protect her all day."
As soon as she said this, the girls fell silent and looked at each other. It was as if they all knew about the conflict between Zhao Sisi and Xi Yao. They didn't want to continue talking about it and changed the topic.
Su Jiaojiao didn't like to talk about these things. She wasn't interested in it either, so she calmly continued to listen to them talk.
Not long after, everyone said goodbye.
Soon, they were all gone.
Su Jiaojiao stretched her body. Song Qinghan came out to help clean up the mess. The two of them tidied up the kitchen, locked the door, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
By the time they were done, the sky was completely dark. The kerosene lamp in the room was lit.
Su Jiaojiao walked in and saw the young man reading seriously beside the kerosene lamp. Her gaze unnaturally fell on his slightly pursed lips. She remembered the new mission issued by the system in the afternoon. Her heart trembled, and she walked over in a daze. Should I do it or not …
Bastard, I really want the reward of this mission ~
Song Qinghan tilted his head and looked at her. He pulled her small hand naturally, as if the two of them were an old married couple. "Go to sleep. I'll read for a while more."
"Oh." Su Jiaojiao nodded and moved her feet with a wooden face.
The room was silent. The matchmaker system thought that she was going to give up, and it frantically jumped around in her mind. [Mission! Mission! Great Host! Don't you want such a good reward?]
Su Jiaojiao, who had already awkwardly moved hands and feet because of the mission, was speechless.
Shut up! Be a system, please stop talking!
