Chapter 94 Thoughtful
Zhou Xiye had never heard of the song "Tian Mi Mi" and thought Jiang Zhizhi was making things up. He said helplessly, "There is no such song."
Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed, "Ah!" She didn't know which year "Sweet Honey" was popular. The original owner of this body didn't seem to be interested in music, so her mind was completely blank, except for those few popular songs.
Zhou Xiye didn't make things difficult for her and picked up his harmonica to play another song.
Jiang Zhizhi still couldn't tell what song it was, but she felt that this one sounded much more cheerful and relaxed than the previous one. After listening to it, she felt much better, and she even felt a little sweetness fermenting in her heart.
After listening, Zhang Zhao and the others were completely confused. They asked Zhou Xiye, "Boss, what song is this? We've never heard it before?"
Zhou Xiye did not answer: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest."
Zhang Zhao obeyed this time. He was well aware of Zhou Xiye's bottom line. He could make a fuss, but he couldn't go too far. He called the others back to their tents.
On the way, I couldn't help but mutter my opinion: "Boss, the last song you played was played in a bit of a girly, sentimental way."
...
Everyone left in an instant, leaving only the clerk who was still in charge of boiling water.
Zhou Xiye lifted the lid of the enamel mug, revealing a large mug of stewed potatoes and rice.
Rice and potato chunks were simmered together with a little lard and soy sauce. The aroma filled the air the moment the lid was lifted. The rice and potatoes were dyed a bright red by the soy sauce and soaked in lard, making your mouth water just looking at them.
Jiang Zhizhi was stunned: "It smells so good!"
Zhou Xiye smiled and went to get two lunchboxes. He gave Jiang Zhizhi half of one lunchbox, with more rice and only a few pieces of potato.
Jiang Zhizhi insisted on sharing some more with Zhou Xiye: "I'm not very hungry yet, this is enough."
Especially the rice at the bottom of the pot, which turned into crispy rice crust, was fragrant, crunchy and delicious.
When Zhou Xiye watched Jiang Zhizhi eat, her eyes sparkled, like a little squirrel in the mountains eating a pine cone, happy and satisfied, which made him feel much better.
Jiang Zhizhi ate a simplified version of claypot rice, but it tasted better than any claypot rice she had ever eaten before.
Firstly, because white rice is precious, and secondly, because this rice was cooked by Zhou Xiye!
...
Jiang Zhizhi was happily eating fragrant white rice with Zhou Xiye around a campfire on the mountain.
Sun Xiaoyue, who was staying at the educated youth settlement, was wrapped in a quilt and felt cold all over. Jiang Donghua cooked ginger soup and took care of her.
Seeing that Jiang Donghua was there, the other female educated youths in the room felt uncomfortable and went out to find somewhere else to stay.
Jiang Donghua was a little puzzled: "How could he have fallen into the river? The river water is so cold now."
Sun Xiaoyue gritted her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes: "I met Jiang Zhizhi by the river, we exchanged a few words, and then she pushed me into the river."
Jiang Donghua was furious: "Jiang Zhizhi is so unreasonable, why are you still indulging her? Just report her."
Sun Xiaoyue quickly pressed down on Jiang Donghua's arm: "No, if something happens to her, my parents will be heartbroken. Although she is an adopted daughter, my parents love her very much."
Jiang Donghua couldn't help but criticize Sun Xiaoyue's parents again for their inability to distinguish right from wrong: "How can they neglect their own daughter and instead dote on an adopted daughter with a vicious mind?"
Sun Xiaoyue didn't want to continue the topic. After silently drinking the ginger soup, she looked up at Jiang Donghua and said, "Donghua...we've been intimate so many times, what if I get pregnant?"
Jiang Donghua frowned: "Didn't I say before that even if you get pregnant, you can't have the child now? Getting pregnant out of wedlock is bad for your reputation."
Sun Xiaoyue looked pitiful: "Then... how about we get married first? We can get our marriage certificate first, and then hold the wedding ceremony when we get back to the city."
Once they get their marriage certificate, her life with Jiang Donghua is practically settled.
Jiang Donghua, however, did not think so. He had not received any substantial benefits from Sun Xiaoyue. Although she was the daughter of a commander, he did not want to get married until he received something in return.
Moreover, during their time together, he discovered that Sun Xiaoyue also had a vulgar side, which was far from his ideal lover.
For him now, Sun Xiaoyue is nothing more than a tool to relieve his physical problems.
Marriage is absolutely out of the question.
Seeing Jiang Donghua's silence, Sun Xiaoyue could guess what he was thinking: "Donghua, are you angry? I helped Chunqin get a spot in college, but I didn't help you?"
Jiang Donghua was naturally angry, but pretended not to care: "It's okay. Didn't you say that Chunqin needs this right now? If she stays in the village, it will damage her reputation."
Sun Xiaoyue nodded: "Yes, that's what I was thinking. You know how hard it is to get a university spot. I'll write to my dad again later. Besides, I'm afraid that if you go to university and I'm left here alone, you'll forget about me."
Hearing that there was hope, Jiang Donghua reached out and hugged Sun Xiaoyue: "That's what I think too. If we go to university, it would be best if we went together. As for marriage, I think it's too hasty for us to get married now. I still want to meet your parents first and formally propose before we get married."
Sun Xiaoyue was anxious but helpless; she couldn't take Jiang Donghua to meet Jiang Zhenhua and Song Wanying.
He grew increasingly angry. These two old bastards were not as useful as the female doctor he met at the hospital!
...
Jiang Zhizhi thought she wouldn't be able to sleep in a different place, but she slept very well.
She was still holding a glass bottle in her arms, which Zhou Xiye had given her when she entered the tent last night.
A bottle that holds distilled water was filled with boiling water and wrapped in a towel; it can be used as a hot water bottle.
It was especially cold in the mountains at night, and the tents weren't very effective at keeping out the cold. But with this thermos, Jiang Zhizhi felt warm all night long in bed.
Holding the now-cold bottle, he lay in bed for a while, grinning foolishly, before quickly getting dressed.
She remembered that Zhou Xiye was going to take her to the city today!
After getting dressed and coming out, I was shivered by the sudden chill outside.
A thin mist hung in the air, and the tents and the tips of the grass were covered with a layer of frost.
Jiang Zhizhi was quite surprised. How could there be such a big temperature difference between the mountain and the foot of the mountain?
Turning my head, I saw a thermos and a lunchbox wrapped in a towel on the stone platform by the door.
Hearing the commotion, the clerk ran out from the next tent with a simple smile: "Sister-in-law, you're up? The captain is having a meeting upstairs. He's prepared hot water and breakfast for you and asked you to finish your breakfast and wait for him for a while."
Jiang Zhizhi thanked them repeatedly, picked up the thermos, and took the still-warm lunchbox back to the tent.
After washing up, I opened my lunchbox and was pleasantly surprised to find two green-shelled eggs inside.
There was also half a blackened steamed bun, which was probably made of sorghum flour.
I took a bite of the steamed bun; it was a bit hard, and it made my throat feel a little sore when I swallowed it.
Jiang Zhizhi finished her steamed bun with a sip of water and a bite of steamed bun, but she couldn't bear to eat the two eggs.
She wanted to save the precious eggs for Zhou Xiye to eat together when he came back.
Just then, the tent flap was suddenly lifted...
