Sun Ze'an frowned slightly. He could see Jiang Xue's unease and anxiety. The autumn wind blew the paulownia leaves down.
A small, withered yellow leaf fell into Jiang Xue's hair. Sun Ze'an stepped forward, ready to reach out and pick the leaf off.
As Jiang Xue saw Sun Ze'an approaching, she panicked and her mind went blank.
Sun Ze'an wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and the look in his eyes was as deep as the ocean, making him unfathomable. His refined and handsome appearance radiated from within, and Jiang Xue's heart pounded wildly.
"Don't move, a leaf is falling on your head."
His long, slender fingers carefully removed a small leaf.
"Thank you." Jiang Xue didn't dare to look at him for long. Although she didn't have any unusual feelings for him, she really couldn't stand his burning gaze.
"I...I have something to do, I'll go first." Jiang Xue placed the silvery-white camellia flower in Sun Ze'an's hand.
She turned around and wanted to escape; she didn't want to stay even half a minute longer.
"Don't rush off. Do you take orders for uniforms from my friend's factory? There aren't many, just a few hundred people."
Seeing Jiang Xue rushing to escape, Sun Ze'an felt a deep sense of loss, but he still wanted to do something to help her so that she wouldn't be so wary of him.
"No need, I have an order from Hong'an factory that I took on myself, and I haven't started production yet."
After saying that, Jiang Xue left without looking back.
She loves money, but not money obtained by others with ulterior motives.
Back at the tailor shop, Shao Heng, who had dreamt of her returning, rushed over to her.
"A health center seems to be looking for someone to make bed sheets and duvet covers, but they only came to take a look. I'm going to buy some fabric this afternoon, and they should come back in a few days if nothing unexpected happens."
Gu Xiaoling talked to Jiang Xue while she was doing her work.
Jiang Xue's dark eyes suddenly lit up. "Okay, then if you can't handle them when they arrive, come find me immediately."
"good."
"Then I'll take the child back to cook, otherwise your brother and the others will go hungry." Jiang Xue picked up Shao Meng and put her on the bicycle.
I saw that Aunt Zhou's pot of wontons was bubbling and steaming at the door.
"Aunt Zhou, how was business this morning?"
Aunt Zhou was grinning from ear to ear. "I've already earned five yuan this morning, and I haven't even had lunch yet. I feel like I'll definitely make at least fifteen yuan by the end of the day."
"Okay, then work hard. Once things are settled, I'll help you find a job that pays even better." Jiang Xue had originally thought of recommending Aunt Zhou to sell boxed lunches at the construction site, but then she thought about how Aunt Zhou had two children and wasn't familiar with the area yet, so she decided to wait until things were more stable before making any decisions.
She rode her bike to the farmers' market and bought some peanuts for Shaoheng and Shaomeng, so the two children could peel and eat them when they got home.
She looked at the ribs on the cutting board and quickly weighed out two pounds. Ribs are cheaper than pork now; you can buy a pound for just 50 cents.
Then I bought two potatoes, lotus root, radish, and dried freshwater shrimp.
"Auntie, I want to eat that." Shao Heng pointed to the old lady squatting in the corner by the roadside frying lotus root slices.
She smiled and bought one for Shao Heng, saying, "One is definitely not enough. How about your aunt makes you a whole bunch when we get back?"
"Mmm." Shao Heng was still reluctant to let go because of the heat, and kept nodding.
Jiang Xue decided to turn back and buy some more pork.
When Jiang Xue returned home, she went to the vegetable garden and saw that it had been neatly arranged, with all the weeds pulled out from among the scallions and chives.
He thought to himself, "I didn't expect that Ji Chen, although a bit rough around the edges, is actually hardworking and reliable."
Jiang Xue picked a handful of scallions and some green onions.
Finely chop the scallions and mix them with the minced meat that has been marinated with five-spice powder, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and salt. Then stuff the mixture into lotus root slices, coat them with cornstarch mixed with egg liquid, and fry them in oil. The resulting crispy and fragrant lotus root slices are then picked up by Jiang Xue.
