Song Jin cast a complicated look at the man sitting opposite her. Chen Liang kept watching her expression and knew that he had done the right thing today.
He peeled the egg and placed it in her bowl, then smiled and said, "Eat it quickly. The vinegar has been poured in. I made it according to the original taste. Do you think it tastes authentic?"
Although he said this, he thought it should be good. He had tried it many times just to make it for Ajin.
He knew very well that it would be very difficult for him to reconcile with Ajin this time, so he had to find another way. This way was naturally, if he wanted to capture a woman's heart, he had to capture her stomach first.
Fortunately, he had this talent, and he really made a high-quality imitation based on the taste in his memory. It was worth the high price he spent to buy beef from the black market. At first, he didn't understand it, so he boiled noodles with water, and after seasoning them, he always felt that they were not tasty.
Later I tried to make broth with beef bones, and finally managed to replicate it.
After Song Jin poured the vinegar as he said, she started eating. To be honest, it was not as authentic as what she had eaten before, but the taste was enough for her to linger on.
It’s much better than the beef noodle restaurant I used to eat at on the street, probably because the ingredients are rich.
In the past, she could never feel full with just one bowl of beef noodles, but today, after finishing this bowl of noodles and soup, she actually felt a little full.
After she started eating, Chen Liang also lowered his head to eat. By the time they both put down their chopsticks, all the dishes on the table were empty.
Song Jin wanted to give him the cold shoulder, but she felt a little awkward after having just eaten a meal specially prepared for her.
Seeing her silence and the struggle on her face, Chen Liang understood her mood at the moment.
"Ajin, since you're back, I won't live with you anymore. It would be bad for your reputation if word got out. Although my letter of introduction is lost, I'll try to find a place for you to stay temporarily."
Song Jin felt that this was a bit strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange about it.
Let him go. He has lost his letter of introduction. He has come thousands of miles to "seek refuge" with me. I would feel bad if I ignore him. What's more, I was sheltered under his wings for a long time in the apocalypse.
Don't let him go. They have broken up. Although he wants to reconcile, she can't reconcile with him so easily. Where will her face be?
Song Jin hesitated for a while, then suddenly thought of something. His eyes lit up and he said to Chen Liang, "Wait a moment."
Chen Liang was puzzled, but nodded obediently, then stood up to clean the table and took it to the kitchen to clean it up. Song Jin didn't move. She didn't like washing dishes. Whoever made them should wash them. There was nothing wrong with that.
Chen Liang was still cleaning up in the kitchen when there was a knock on the door.
Song Jin had already changed his clothes and went out to open the door.
Aunt Lan and Song Zuo are outside.
When the two saw that the person who opened the door was Song Jin, their eyes lit up.
"Hey Xiaojin, you're back. When did you come back?"
Song Jin smiled and invited them in: "Auntie Lan, I came back at night. It was too late, so I went straight to bed."
When Aunt Lan heard the noise coming from the kitchen, she remembered that there was someone else at home.
She was a little nervous. She always felt that she shouldn't let the young man move in directly, but it was not convenient for him to stay there. Song Ming and his family said that there was no room for him and that the man was indeed an acquaintance of Song Jin.
Looking at his pitiful and embarrassed appearance, she couldn't make a decision and could only let him stay in the guest room for the time being.
"Xiao Jin, that Comrade Chen is an acquaintance of yours, right? When he first came here, his luggage was stolen, and his letter of introduction was lost. I heard that he wandered the streets for several days before finding you, and was almost arrested as a vagrant. I heard that you knew him, so I took the initiative to keep him. This... I..."
Song Jin looked towards the kitchen with some suspicion when he heard this. He didn't look like someone who would be robbed. And he was in a mess? Pitiful? He couldn't imagine it.
And she also remembered how he knew the address here.
But since there were outsiders present, she suppressed her doubts and said to Aunt Lan, "It's okay, Aunt Lan, he... is indeed my friend."
Chen Liang, who was listening in the kitchen, was relieved to hear that Song Jin didn't blame them. At least this meant that she shouldn't be annoyed with him... right?
It was already past ten o'clock, and she was still full after breakfast, so she asked Aunt Lan not to make lunch. If she felt hungry in the afternoon, she could just have snacks.
She asked them if anything had happened recently.
"The day before New Year's Eve, the young master of the Zhao family came to see you, saying that he was asked by his family to invite you to his house to celebrate the festival. I asked Aunt Lan to tell you that you were in the suburbs looking for relatives and might not be back in the short term, so I politely declined."
Aunt Lan also nodded, and then continued: "On the afternoon of the first day of the new year, the young master of the Shen family came over and brought a lot of gifts, including Beijing Eight Pieces, roast duck, and two pieces of cloth. I also said that you went to look for your relatives and had not returned yet."
Song Jin nodded: "Okay, I understand."
After thinking for a moment, he turned to Song Zuo and said, "How's the yard over there being cleaned up?"
"I packed everything up the day before the 30th and cleaned everything thoroughly."
"Well, the three of you go meet me over there at three in the afternoon."
"Okay, I'll tell them when I get home. Are you moving?"
"Not today, it's too late. Tomorrow I have to visit the Zhao, Ji, Shen, Shi, and Zhu families. I have to go back to work the day after tomorrow. Let's wait until after the 15th and make arrangements in advance."
Song nodded, then left with Aunt Lan.
Song Jin looked at Chen Liang, who had just come out of the kitchen and was sitting quietly on a chair listening to their conversation. "Tell me, what's with the letter of introduction? And how did you find this place?"
Chen Liang looked at her pitifully before he began to narrate his miserable journey (no, I made it up).
"I wanted to come and see you, so I asked my father to write me a letter of introduction. I said I was here to investigate what agricultural products I could do as a sideline business for the brigade. But right after I got on the train, I ran into a group of human traffickers. To save a child, I got off the train and missed it. When I caught up with them, my luggage was gone, and the letter of introduction was inside.
I hid all the way to Beijing and then went to the machinery factory, but the guard said you didn't work in the factory and didn't know where you lived, so I wandered around the streets looking for you every day.
Then I saw Song Ming. Remembering that he had helped out in the brigade before, I guessed he was related to you, so I followed him. And then we found this place."
After Chen Liang finished speaking, he glanced at Song Jin. She wasn't angry, but he couldn't tell what her mood was at the moment. She was thinking about how to create a pitiful image.
Then I heard Song Jin say: "Pack up and I'll take you to your accommodation this afternoon."
Chen Liang's heart tightened. Was A Jin going to kick him out of here?
"But I don't have a letter of introduction. Is the guesthouse..."
She glanced at him and said, "Who said you were staying in a guesthouse? Go to my other courtyard."
Chen Liang thought of the other yard they mentioned just now. That should be the place where Ajin will move to after the 15th. That's great. This is possible.
He nodded obediently. Ajin likes obedient people.
