Under the shade of the tree, the golden sunlight was reflected by the leaves, and mottled light and shadow fell on Jiang Zao.
Dark blue cloth is not suitable for women to wear, as it will make people look dull. However, when worn on Jiang Zao, it especially highlights her fair skin.
She had two braided pigtails hanging in front of her chest, fluffy hair on her forehead, thin and gentle eyebrows, bright eyes without any makeup, and a pretty rosy mouth. Except for being a little thin due to malnutrition, she was perfect in every way.
Xiao Shuisheng took the bottle of white wine.
After being exposed to the sun all the way, the bottle is still warm, but the mung bean water is still warm.
Xiao Shuisheng raised his head and drank from the bottle, finishing it in just a few gulps.
"It tastes good. Zao'er is really virtuous."
His eyes are hotter than the sun.
Jiang Zao didn't know what love felt like. She couldn't describe it specifically, but she knew that Xiao Shuisheng's eyes looked at her differently from the way he looked at others. When Xiao Shuisheng looked at her, her heart always pounded.
Xiao Shuisheng's bony hands took the lid of the white wine from Jiang Zao's hand.
There were thin calluses on his fingers, and when they rubbed against Jiang Zao's fingers, they caused him to tremble.
Jiang Zao turned his head away, his ears turned red.
Xiao Shuisheng glanced at it seemingly casually, and when he saw the little red ears, a smile flashed in his eyes.
He couldn't help but pinch Jiang Zao's ear.
Soft and feels great.
Jiang Zao dodged as if he had been electrocuted, covering his ears and looking at him in shock.
"You, don't come over here..."
It’s not that I don’t like it.
My heartbeat is out of control.
She was afraid of sudden death.
Xiao Shuisheng looked straight at Jiang Zao, was silent for a moment, and suddenly lowered his head and smiled.
His brows were relaxed and he was in a very happy mood.
She gets so shy when she's just touched. How can she bear it when they get married in the future?
"Zao'er, come home with me to meet my parents and talk about marriage. We've been together for quite a while."
Jiang Zao understood.
One year together, and public for more than half a year.
In this day and age, this is a rare thing.
She used to feel that she was not worthy of Xiao Shuisheng and was afraid of seeing the Xiao family’s disgust and resistance, so she didn’t dare to go.
Things have been delayed again and again until now.
Jiang Zao nodded gently: "You can see me, but you have to wait a little longer. I promise it will be soon."
She didn't want to repeat the same mistake, so she had to deal with everyone in the Jiang family clearly before going to the Xiao family.
Of course, doing this is not just to guard against the Jiang family sucking your blood.
This is also because Xiao Shuisheng has a biological brother and many cousins. With many brothers, she will have many future sisters-in-law.
His brother's sister-in-law worked at a newspaper. Jiang Zao had met her once in the military district and had already sensed that she was not someone to be reckoned with.
She had to take care of her own affairs before talking about marriage, otherwise she would be the one to lose Xiao Shuisheng.
Jiang Zao was reborn. I don’t know if his IQ has increased, but his experience and knowledge have increased a lot.
I also think about many things more comprehensively.
Xiao Shuisheng understood her seriousness. He put the clothes in Jiang Zao's hand and said, "I'll take you to lunch. There will be chicken legs and potatoes stewed in the cafeteria on Thursday."
We don’t have meat every meal in the research institute.
In the morning, we have steamed buns with a lot of pickles, and occasionally we have dumplings. At noon, we have potatoes, cabbage, eggplant, and kohlrabi with a little meat. Only on Thursdays do we have a fixed dish of chicken legs stewed with potatoes.
There were not many people in the cafeteria at that time, so Xiao Shuisheng ordered two plates of food.
He is not a talkative person, but he is hardworking. In the winter, when the canteen was transporting cabbages, he took the strong guys in the regiment to help move them. He also helped transport and unload coal. He was very popular.
He ordered two dishes, both of which were chicken legs, with few potatoes to be seen. The thick soup covered the rice, making his stomach tremble.
Xiao Shuisheng placed the dinner plate in front of Jiang Zao, put the chopsticks in Jiang Zao's hand, and then sat down opposite him.
Jiang Zao stayed at home, washing clothes, cooking, making fire and collecting firewood, like a slave who had signed a contract to sell himself to the landlord.
With Xiao Shuisheng, she had good food and drink and didn't have to do anything.
It’s easy to tell with your toes how wonderful Jiang Zao’s life would be if she married Xiao Shuisheng.
In order to have a better life, she has to speed up to get rid of Lao Jiang's family.
She took the chopsticks, stirred the soup and rice together, and ate slowly.
After seeing her finish the chicken leg, Xiao Shuisheng scooped up the clean chicken leg without any rice on it with his unused iron spoon and put it on her plate.
Xiao Shuisheng said softly: "My chopsticks didn't touch the meat. Eat more. You are too thin."
Being too thin means poor physical fitness.
From the day they confirmed their relationship, Xiao Shuisheng was looking forward to getting married to Jiang Zao and starting his own family with her.
In spring, we study vegetable planting; in summer, we study cooking; in autumn, we study vegetable harvesting.
As long as he is with Zaoer, he is happy to do anything.
Jiang Zao ate up all the chicken legs and rice, and took the initiative to collect the plates and chopsticks and put them to the place where the garbage plates were placed.
Now is not like the future, when job mobility is high and everyone has their own job. When she marries Xiao Shuisheng in the future, she needs to get along well with the people around him and make preparations in advance to leave a good impression, which is better than cramming at the last minute after marriage.
"Uncle and Madam, I put the plate here. The chicken legs you made are really delicious."
Don’t look at the old men and women as small people, they are responsible for cooking and serving meals. Food is the most important thing for people, who dares to say that they never go to the canteen to eat.
If the Xiao family comes one day, they will think of praising her a few words, which will be much more effective than her serving tea and water and showing her courtesy.
The old lady smiled warmly: "Are you full? Do you want some more?"
Look how thin this child is.
Jiang Zao smiled sweetly and said, "I'm done eating."
After she and Xiao Shuisheng went out, the old lady went into the kitchen and praised her a lot.
After dinner, Xiao Shuisheng took Jiang Zao for a walk under the shade of the tree.
Jiang Zao's stomach wasn't so full anymore, so he took the bottle of white wine from the net bag and said, "I have some work to do at home, so I'll go back first. You should take good care of yourself. Don't take a bath too hot, just rinse with warm water."
Xiao Shuisheng frowned: "Going back so soon?"
Jiang Zao nodded.
Xiao Shuisheng: "Wait."
He was just strolling downstairs in the dormitory building. He took a shortcut upstairs and brought down a box of bacon and sausages: "Take it home and eat it."
The sausages and bacon were given to Xiao Shuisheng by the senior researcher who was also allocated the house. His wife came from the countryside and raised six children. She also made room in a large woven bag and filled it with a lot of sausages and bacon to bring to Xiao Shuisheng to thank him for giving up the house to them.
The sausages and bacon ended up in Jiang Zao's hands.
Jiang Zao knew he couldn't refuse: "Thank you, I'll be leaving now."
"I send you."
Xiao Shuisheng sent her to the bus stop and watched her leave.
Jiang Zao didn't go home, she got off the bus halfway.
