The two of them walked to the fabric area, and Xu Qianjiao quickly bought all the fabric. The fabric she bought was probably enough to make a set of clothes for Xu's father, Xu's mother, herself, and Cheng Jiawen.
With all these fabrics, half of the money the Xu family had saved over the years was spent, and all the tickets were also used up.
Cheng Jiawen took the cloth from Xu Qianjiao and put it in his backpack, "Let me take it."
"good."
-------------------------------------
Over here, Chen Yi pulled Liu Jiajia out of the department store and into an alley. Pointing at Liu Jiajia, Chen Yi questioned, "Didn't you say that you and Cheng Jiawen are in love with each other, but haven't been together due to family pressure? Why didn't I see that today? He already has a fiancée, and he seems very loving with her."
Liu Jiajia looked at Chen Yi with red eyes, "I...I like him. I pursued him, and he didn't reject me."
Chen Yi was so angry that she laughed, "He never agreed to you from the beginning to the end. How dare you say he's your partner and tell me that woman seduced him while you were apart?"
Oh my god, I am so stupid that I can believe her nonsense and do such a stupid thing today. No, no, she has to go home and drink some refreshing soup made by her mother to cleanse her brain and stop being so stupid.
Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes at Liu Jiajia and turned away.
Liu Jiajia, who remained where she was, looked at Chen Yi's back with a vicious look. "What's so great about that? My dad will soon replace your dad. I won't even give you the chance to beg for forgiveness. And Cheng Jiawen, how dare you insult me like this today? Just wait. It's too easy to deal with a peasant like him."
-------------------------------------
On this side, after Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao finished shopping at the department store, they rushed to the station carrying large and small bags of things when they passed by the state-owned hotel.
"Jiaojiao, wait here for a moment, I'm going to get something."
After saying that, he ran straight into the state-owned restaurant, leaving Xu Qianjiao standing there in confusion. After a while, he came out with two lunch boxes in his hands. Xu Qianjiao looked at the lunch boxes in his hands and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Cheng Jiawen smiled mysteriously and shook the lunch box in front of her nose. The aroma of braised pork wafted out. Xu Qianjiao looked at Cheng Jiawen in surprise, "Braised pork?"
"Yeah." Cheng Jiawen nodded. "Don't you want to eat it? I packed it for you. You can heat it up when you get home tonight."
"Ahhh, that's great, you're so nice." Xu Qianjiao was very touched. She didn't expect that Cheng Jiawen had seen all her little actions and was willing to satisfy her.
Cheng Jiawen put the lunch box carefully into the backpack and said, "Let's go. We should go back, otherwise we will miss the bus."
"good."
The two of them hurried to the station carrying their things.
At this time, it was already getting dark. It was only 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but it was already dark. It would be around 7 or 8 o'clock when the two of them got home. The time was just right. Although it was a little late, it was not too late.
"Ring, ring, ring~" the car is coming.
Cheng Jiawen led the way with things in both hands. Xu Qianjiao held his hand tightly and squeezed into the car with him.
On the return trip, they were not so lucky. There were no seats left on the bus, and the two of them could only stand in the aisle carrying their bags.
After more than an hour, the two finally got off the bus.
"Huh, we're finally in the county town. I'm so tired~" Xu Qianjiao put the backpack at her feet, shrugged her shoulders and sighed.
Cheng Jiawen also moved his stiff body, then picked up his things and put the backpack on his back. "Let's go. We're just in time. We should be able to catch up with uncle's ox cart today."
Xu Qianjiao picked up her things and followed him. Just as they reached the city gate, the ox cart driver came. The two of them got on the ox cart and went straight home.
-------------------------------------
As time passed, the color of the sky gradually deepened and eventually turned black. The two men got off the ox cart and walked into the village. At this time, the village was quiet, with only wisps of blue smoke coming out of the chimneys on the roofs of every household, adding some warmth to this quiet village.
The two of them walked quickly back home. Mr. and Mrs. Xu had already prepared dinner and were waiting for them.
As soon as they entered the door, Xu's father stepped forward to help the two of them take their things, "Come on, you're back, it's time to eat."
"good."
Cheng Jiawen took out two lunch boxes from his backpack and handed them to Father Xu. "Uncle, we packed some food from the state-owned restaurant. You can heat it up and eat it."
When Mr. Xu heard about the dishes from the state-owned restaurant, his stomach was full of gluttony. He laughed so hard that his eyes were almost blinded. He quickly snatched the lunch box and said, "Hahaha, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll heat it up."
Mother Xu snatched the lunch box from Father Xu's hand and opened it. She saw a bowl full of braised pork and sweet and sour pork. She looked at Cheng Jiawen with a smile, "Jiawen, why did you pack so much? You're so thoughtful."
"I just happened to be at the state-owned restaurant, so I packed some for you guys to try."
Xu's mother was so coaxed by his words that her eyes curved. "Hahaha, what a filial child."
She thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we each eat half tonight and eat the rest tomorrow. I also made chicken soup tonight."
"good."
Several people sat at the dining table. Father Xu went to the kitchen to heat up some food. Xu Qianjiao looked at the newly built wall in the yard and asked, "Mom, was this wall built today? It's finished so quickly?"
Xu's mother nodded. "Yes, your father brought people back to build it today. Now that the wall is up, we plan to open a new gate, expand the backyard a little, and build a small kitchen in the backyard. Then we'll be basically done."
After hearing this, Xu Qianjiao immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Dad is really amazing. He built the wall in just one day."
"You should tell your dad this. He'll definitely be happy if he hears you praising him."
"What are you praising me for?" At this time, Xu's father came back with the dishes. The braised pork just out of the pot was emitting hot white steam, which made people salivate before even eating it.
Its aroma is fragrant, with a hint of caramel sweetness and rich meaty aroma. The braised pork is fat and lean, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Each piece of meat gleams with an attractive luster, as if beckoning everyone's taste buds.
Sweet and sour pork is also very fragrant. Its appearance is golden and crispy, just like slices of potato chips, with a faint aroma of vinegar and the fragrance of green onion and ginger, which makes people unable to stop.
The aromas of these two dishes intertwine to create a unique and irresistible charm. Their fragrance fills the air, attracting people's attention and making them eager to taste the two delicacies.
When several people smelled the aroma, they couldn't wait to sit down and start eating, one bite after another, and couldn't stop at all. One of the greatest happiness in life is eating!
