There is no nightlife and no need to stay up late. Jiang Wanwan has a very regular schedule during this period. She goes to bed early and wakes up before the rooster crows twice in the morning.
When he opened his eyes, Lu Xiao was no longer in his seat, and the quilt had obviously been moved. He came home late and left early, and had such tiring work during the day, how could his body bear it?
Jiang Wanwan decided to find an opportunity to talk to him and also to keep up with his daily nutrition.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Xiao came back from outside carrying a backpack. Seeing Jiang Wanwan with her hair tied up and stepping out of the door, he quickly turned his head to the side.
Jiang Wanwan: “…”
Perhaps he felt that his reaction was too strange, so he turned around and greeted her, "Um... I'll go make breakfast," and without waiting for Jiang Wanwan to reply, he strode into the kitchen.
Jiang Wanwan, who was still standing at the door: "..."
I narrowed my eyes: There is something wrong with this man. His reaction is obviously wrong and he seems very guilty.
When she finished washing and cleaning up, breakfast was already prepared in the kitchen. When she went over, Lu Xiao didn't mention breakfast. Instead, he attentively took out a piece of meat from the basket he brought back and showed it to her. "How do you want to eat this?"
A piece of high-quality pork belly, with more lean meat and less fat, weighing at least two or three pounds.
Jiang Wanwan felt that feeling even stronger. She didn't answer his question, but pulled a small stool over and sat down, crossing her legs and looking at him.
I leaned on the bench for a while, but the bench was too low and uncomfortable. I tried to put my legs flat, but that felt too formal and unimposing, so I finally stood up.
Lu Xiao just held the meat and watched her tossing and turning for a long time without saying a word. For some reason, he started to sweat.
"Wanwan..."
"What did you call me?" Jiang Wanwan looked up suddenly.
No wonder they say women have the best sixth sense in this kind of thing. She hasn't said anything yet, but she's the one who cooked and bought meat, and Wanwan has already called it out.
You know, they have been together for such a long time, but he rarely calls her by her name, at most it is Jiang Wanwan.
Lu Xiao became even more nervous, his entire back tensed, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead. He wondered if she hadn't slept at all last night, so she knew what he did to her...
After pursing his lips, thinking about how to explain so that she wouldn't get angry, he heard Jiang Wanwan say, "Lu Xiao, tell me the truth, are you attracted to someone else again? If you really have a lover, there's no need to sneak around in the middle of the night to meet them. If you get caught, it would be embarrassing for me. I'm not the kind of woman who has to rely on anyone..."
Halfway through her words, she thought about how the original owner and Lu Xiao were able to be together because they relied on him, so she changed her words, "That's not right. I have principles when I rely on others, and I do have the noble quality of helping others. But if you cheat on me while I'm still your legal wife, I won't tolerate it either."
At the end, Jiang Wanwan made a vicious expression.
I thought she was going to confront him about the secret kiss, but what the hell is this?
Looking at her deliberately pretending to be fierce, Lu Xiao found her so cute no matter how he looked at her, as if he wouldn't care even if she really caught him and beat or scolded him.
He raised the meat in his hand and said, "I know you are not a vegetarian, so I brought some meat for you."
"Stop smiling in front of me. I'm talking to you about a serious matter. Correct your attitude," Jiang Wanwan glared at him. She had thought he was an honest man, but she didn't expect that all men were bad.
Lu Xiao directly held her white and tender little hand, put the meat aside, and pulled him closer. He said seriously, "I married you when I was 27. How many women do you think would be as foolish as you and cling to me? What nonsense are you imagining? I went hunting in the mountains last night, and this meat was what I got last night."
It's rare to hear him talk so much at once. His deep voice seems to carry the scent of morning dew, which makes people's hormones rise.
"Who's imagining things? It's you who's been acting so strangely today," he said, dodging like he had a dog. "No, who are you calling stupid?"
Only then did she realize that the man had not only explained but also made fun of her.
Lu Xiao couldn't help but raised his hand and pinched her little face, "Eat."
…………
The misunderstanding was resolved and Jiang Wanwan began to think about how to eat pork.
"How about we have meat buns for lunch? Meat buns don't require that much meat. I can stew the rest into braised pork, which will keep longer."
Lu Xiao really enjoyed the braised pork last time. It can be said that in this era, no one doesn’t like to eat meat. However, he only ate it for one meal and brought the rest to Lu’s mother.
"Just take care of it. You don't need to bring me lunch at noon. I'll come back to eat," Lu Xiao told her while chewing a biscuit.
"good."
Meat buns are not common these days. Some people may not even be able to eat them during the Chinese New Year. It is really too ostentatious to send food to the fields to eat meat buns. It is better to enjoy good things behind closed doors.
After breakfast, Lu Xiao went out. Jiang Wanwan kneaded the dough, let it rise slowly, and then went out.
Winter comes quickly in their area, and there is almost no autumn or spring. After the autumn harvest, the weather becomes cold soon, so cotton-padded clothes and other things have to be prepared in advance.
Jiang Wanwan didn't want Lu Xiao to wear his old cotton-padded jacket anymore. She looked at a two-bedroom apartment yesterday and found two of the quilts from her mother's brand that she had bought when she started working.
She had just graduated at that time, and her mother was worried that she would have a hard time working outside, so she specially made two thick and solid pure cotton quilts for her.
In fact, what did she want in her time? Taobao didn't have it. Plus, she lived in a northern city at the time, and the heating was very strong in the winter, so the quilts made at home were too thick to cover herself.
I just kept it like this until I moved, and I couldn't bear to throw it away because it was handmade by my mother. I can take it out and use it when the weather gets colder.
The cotton-padded jacket must be remade. She had used up all her cloth coupons last time and planned to go to the black market to see if she could buy cloth and cotton.
Black markets are different from fairs. Most communes are fairs, while black markets are fewer and more secretive. Most of them are located at the junction of administrative areas, so they are easy to escape even if law enforcement officers raid them.
Jiang Wanwan went to a black market on the edge of the county town. It was close to the county town and the items traded there were more diverse than those in the black market in the countryside.
She arrived not too early, and there were not many people at the black market, but she didn't care and just walked around and looked around.
The black market is all about taking chances.
I saw a middle-aged woman selling rice, and I bought three pounds of it. I didn't see anyone selling cotton, but there were two people selling cloth. One of them had a piece of black cloth that was about five feet long.
An adult's cotton coat requires four feet of cloth. Lu Xiao is tall, so five feet is best.
When I asked the price, I was a little dumbfounded. It cost four dollars.
The pure cotton fabric in the department store was 40 cents a foot with a cloth coupon. She thought it would be more expensive on the black market without coupons, but she didn't expect it to be twice as expensive.
"Auntie, could you please give me a discount? I want all this cloth."
She bought a lot of things during this period, including the money from the original owner, the money she asked from Du Jiaming and Qiao Wenwan last time, and the money given by Lu Xiao. After all the money she spent, she now has 18.70 yuan in her hand.
This is all the wealth she and Lu Xiao have, so they have to spend it frugally.
