"You have to eat, too. It's just a fire. Wait, I'll get it ready for you."
Xiang Baiwei quickly got out of bed and prepared to cook noodles.
Chi Kunli stretched out her hand to stop her: "Okay, let's not talk about this between the two of us. I'm going home first. I heard my mother calling me."
After she finished speaking, Chi Kunli's mother's voice did come through the courtyard wall, urging her to go back.
"Look, the old lady got up too early. I have to go back quickly, otherwise she will keep nagging me."
Chi Kunli buttoned the last button of her coat, gathered up two handfuls of hair with her hands, asked Bai Wei for the key, and left.
After Chi Kunli left, Xiang Baiwei, who was still drunk, walked to the table and poured herself another glass of water, drinking it in small sips.
While I was drinking hot water, the yard door was pushed open again.
She thought it was Chi Kunli who came back. When she turned around and was about to speak, she found that the person who came was Jiang Sui, who had been busy all night and looked tired.
The moment she saw Jiang Sui, Xiang Baiwei's mind suddenly flashed back to the ambiguous scenes of last night.
So, Xiang Baiwei was so scared that she turned her head back immediately, her heart pounding and her face flushed uncontrollably.
Jiang Sui, who entered the yard, happened to see this scene through the window.
Jiang Sui also couldn't help but think of what happened last night. Seeing Xiang Baiwei's ears turn red in an instant, he smiled faintly and pushed the door into the inner room: "Are you awake?"
Xiang Baiwei, who had her back to him, knew her face was still red, so she didn't dare to look back: "Well, you're awake, you...you're back?"
The tone of his speech was a rare stutter.
This is the first time I have seen her act so shy in front of me since we got married.
I once heard someone say that the blush on a woman's face can express everything.
At this moment, Xiang Baiwei's reaction made Jiang Sui ecstatic.
His efforts were not in vain, Xiang Baiwei was finally moved.
As long as she is moved, everything will be fine.
Jiang Sui didn't dare to move forward, "You drank a lot of wine yesterday, you should still feel a little uncomfortable now, you take a rest first, I'll go make breakfast and call you when it's ready."
Jiang Sui had been busy all night, so Xiang Baiwei was embarrassed to ask him to make breakfast again, so she ran to the yard and splashed cold water on her face. Amid Jiang Sui's caring words, she pushed him into the inner room: "I'll make breakfast, you take a rest first. You've been up all night, and you're the one who deserves a rest now."
"In that case, I'll trouble you, Madam."
Jiang Sui enjoyed the care of his sweetheart and said something frivolous out of complacency.
A hint of annoyance flashed across Xiang Baiwei's face: "Don't tease me with such sour words. If you do this again, I will be angry with you."
"I was wrong, wife, I won't dare to do it again next time."
Jiang Sui agreed smoothly and dared not say frivolous words again.
Entering the twelfth lunar month means the end of the year is approaching.
As the year draws to a close, we start getting busy with things related to the New Year.
There are also various factories that press peanut oil and soybean oil. As the year is coming to an end, the grain workshops are busy day and night.
When Xiang Baiwei finally came to her senses, she found that there were still three days until New Year's Eve.
During this nearly one month, Xiang Baiwei and Jiang Sui were so busy with their daily lives that they both forgot about the divorce.
However, Jiang Sui probably deliberately forgot about it. He hoped that Xiang Bai Wei would never remember this.
Xiang Baiwei was so busy in the workshop that she put the matter out of her mind. In fact, her relationship with Jiang Sui these days was no different from that of a normal couple.
It has been nearly half a year since the wedding, and Xiang Baiwei has changed from being determined to get a divorce to being indifferent now.
This is fine for now. Besides, filing for divorce during the New Year's Day will make both parties unhappy, so it's unnecessary.
Xiang Baiwei found such a reason to comfort herself.
Jiang Sui came back from town, shook off the snow on his body at the door, lifted the thick curtain to block the wind, came in and greeted the two people in the room.
It has snowed heavily in recent days and there is no business in the workshop, so Xiang Baiwei and Chi Kunli stay at home to make insoles and sew clothes.
When Jiang Sui came back, Chi Kunli, as a guest, stood up and greeted him.
Xiang Baiwei put down what she was holding and walked over to help Jiang Sui get the snow off his back: "It's hard to ride a bike in this weather, right? Isn't the factory on New Year's Day? Why did they let you go?"
"I was wondering about this at first," Jiang Sui took out the roasted sweet potato from his arms and handed it to Xiang Baiwei. "I found out when I got there that the factory director wanted to have a drink with me. Several deputy factory directors and workshop directors were there. We went to the supply and marketing cooperative restaurant. I didn't ride my bike, but took the factory director's car, which he gave to my brother-in-law. It just so happened that he had to go somewhere."
"My brother? It's so cold and snowing, where is he going?"
Xiang Baiwei asked curiously, then looked at the hot roasted sweet potato in her hand, "Where did you buy this? We can roast it under our own kang, why should we buy it outside? It costs so much money!"
"My brother-in-law seems to be going to buy something, or maybe to meet someone. I see that the clothes he is wearing today are quite new, and he even shaved his beard. When I approached him, I smelled his scent, and it was very fresh!"
Jiang Sui gave Xiang Baiwei a knowing smile, "It's a sweet potato! I asked the boss for it when I was eating at the restaurant, and he gave me the biggest one. Have it."
Xiang Baiwei happily ran to Chi Kunli holding a roasted sweet potato and broke off half for her: "It's still hot, let's each have half."
Chi Kunli had not missed the conversation between the couple just now. After learning that Jiang Sui had specially brought this sweet potato for Xiang Baiwei, she felt embarrassed to take the roasted sweet potato: "You eat it, I don't like it."
She wanted to find an excuse to fool him, but Xiang Baiwei didn't buy it: "Nonsense, you love to eat this stuff in winter. You just told me that you would go home and get some roasted sweet potatoes to roast on my kang. Come on, it's ready, eat it quickly."
Jiang Sui was holding a bag in his hand, and no one knew what was inside it, as he walked towards the cabinet next to him.
While he wasn't paying attention, Chi Kunli gritted her teeth and whispered in Bai Wei's ear: "Your man ran so far to get it for you, how can I eat it? You two should eat it together. I'm going home now and will come back to play with you later."
Originally Xiang Baiwei didn't think there was anything wrong, but after Chi Kunli said that, she suddenly felt embarrassed to share the same sweet potato with Jiang Sui.
Although this was just an ordinary sweet potato, Xiang Baiwei would share one with Jiang Sui when she couldn't finish the cake.
Today, I feel inexplicably embarrassed.
Weiwei is shy!
Wow, it’s time for Weiwei’s mom to come and urge the kids again. Let’s see how Teacher Jiang Jiang is smart and clever! (End of this chapter)
