Chapter 21 Mung Bean Soup



Because he was going to cook mung bean soup tomorrow, Jiang Cheng washed the mung beans twice first, then found a clean basin, poured the mung beans into it, and poured some water into it to soak it so that it would be ready for use tomorrow morning.

After packing up, Jiang Cheng returned to the house. Song Tingzhi went outside to take a shower, and during this time, Jiang Cheng took out the handkerchief and embroidered for a while.

"She's embroidering something again. I don't need to look at my eyes anymore." Song Tingzhi walked in from outside and saw Jiang Cheng embroidering a handkerchief under the candlelight.

Song Tingzhi walked over and took the things in Jiang Cheng's hand aside, stopping him from embroidering.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I won't embroider anymore." Seeing that Song Tingzhi seemed angry, Jiang Cheng stood up and patted his back and rubbed his shoulders.

"Look at you, I've told you so many times, if you continue like this, your eyes will be damaged soon!" Song Tingzhi said unhappily when he saw Jiang Cheng like this.

He wasn't really angry, it was just that Jiang Cheng had been discovered by him several times, and every time she would just smile at him and then continue.

"Yes, I'll listen to you from now on! I won't embroider at night anymore, okay?" Jiang Cheng knew that Song Tingzhi was trying to scare him again, so he quickly put on a smile and sat in Song Tingzhi's arms and acted coquettishly.

"Really?" Song Tingzhi didn't believe it.

"Really! I swear!" Jiang Cheng said seriously.

"Then I'll trust you again!"

Seeing Jiang Cheng like this, Song Tingzhi calmed down even if he was very angry, not to mention that he was not angry in the first place.

"If you do something wrong, you will be punished."

After saying that, Song Tingzhi picked up Jiang Cheng, walked to the bed, pressed down, and started kissing her.

Song Tingzhi kissed Jiang Cheng from the head to the neck, kissing Jiang Cheng until he was exhausted.

"Aren't you tired?" Jiang Cheng's cheeks flushed and he was breathing heavily. Taking advantage of Song Tingzhi's pause, he asked him breathlessly.

"Look, am I tired?" Song Tingzhi panted softly, without stopping the movement of his hands.

The two of them were busy until midnight before they rested.

When Jiang Cheng woke up in the morning, Song Tingzhi and the others had already gone out to work.

Jiang Cheng moved around and felt his body was sore and weak, and he couldn't help but blame Song Tingzhi.

What a bull!

Jiang Cheng stretched his body and felt comfortable before getting dressed and getting out of bed to do his work.

Jiang Cheng took out the mung beans that had been soaked last night and placed them on a colander to drain the water. Then he scooped a few spoonfuls of water into the iron pot, went to the woodshed and brought a bundle of firewood into the house before starting the next thing.

Pour water into the iron pot, then pour in the drained mung beans, and then go to the stove to light the fire.

Jiang Cheng covered the pot, took some white fungus, chopped it up and poured it in to cook together.

While waiting for the pot to boil, Jiang Cheng cleaned the woodshed and went to her room to get the needle and thread to embroider.

If I can’t embroider at night, I can at least embroider during the day!

By the time Jiang Cheng finished embroidering one piece, the pot was almost boiling.

Jiang Cheng opened the lid of the pot and hot steam hit him in the face. Now all he had to do was add some sugar and wait for the mung bean soup to cool down before serving it over.

After waiting for about an incense stick of time, the mung bean soup was almost cold. The reason why it cooled so quickly was because Jiang Cheng kept stirring it.

Jiang Cheng poured the mung bean soup into a large bowl, then took a bamboo basket, put the bowl in it, and took out a few small bowls.

"Dad, I've served you a bowl and put it on the table. There's still a lot in the pot!" Jiang Cheng served a bowl to Song Tao, and then went to serve mung bean soup to Xu Sanniang, Song Tingzhi and others.

Jiang Cheng walked for a while, afraid that the soup would spill out. After walking for about an incense stick of time, Jiang Cheng saw people working in the fields.

Song Tingzhi was easy to find because he was the tallest in the crowd, even if he had to bend down.

"Tingzhi! Song Tingzhi!" Jiang Cheng shouted loudly.

Song Tingzhi felt someone calling him, turned his head and saw Jiang Cheng standing by the field.

"Hey~Xiao Song, your husband is here to see you~"

Song Tingzhi walked over quickly with a sickle, regardless of the people around him watching the fun.

"Why are you here?" Song Tingzhi walked up to Jiang Cheng, breathing slightly.

"Didn't I say yesterday that I would bring you mung bean soup? Do you think I was joking?"

Jiang Cheng was unhappy. He had come with good intentions to deliver mung bean soup to relieve the heat, but Song Tingzhi still questioned him.

"No, it's too hot for you!"

Song Tingzhi did not blame Jiang Cheng, he was just worried about his health. After all, they had messed around for a while last night.

"Okay, I know what I'm doing." Jiang Cheng took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Song Tingzhi's head. "Let's find a place to drink some mung bean soup. My cooking is delicious!"

"By the way, where are mother and sisters?" Jiang Cheng looked around but didn't see Xu Sanniang and the others.

"They are on the other side. I'll take you to find them later." Song Tingzhi pulled Jiang Cheng under the shade of a tree and sat down.

Jiang Cheng poured a bowl of mung bean soup to Song Tingzhi, "Try it!"

Song Tingzhi took it and drank a bowl of cold mung bean soup. Song Tingzhi felt that his brain, which had been dizzy from the heat, became much clearer.

"How is it?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"It tastes good!" Song Tingzhi nodded.

"If it tastes good, drink more!" Jiang Cheng poured another bowl for Song Tingzhi.

Song Tingzhi drank three bowls before stopping. He had to say that the mung bean soup was really well cooked.

After drinking, Song Tingzhi prepared to take Jiang Cheng to find Xu Sanniang and the others. When passing by other villagers, someone asked.

"Xiao Song, what is your husband doing here?"

"They're bringing mung bean soup to me and my mother!"

People asked him questions all the way, and Song Tingzhi answered them all the way, without caring what others thought.

In a short while, almost everyone in the village knew that Song Tingzhi's husband was diligent and filial, and even brought mung bean soup to her husband and mother-in-law on a hot day.

Why didn’t anyone send them mung bean soup?

Soon, Song Tingzhi brought Jiang Cheng to where Xu Sanniang and the others were working. Song Tingzhi called his mother from a distance.

"Why is Chengcheng here?" Xu Sanniang stopped what she was doing and walked over.

"Mom, I'm here to bring you and my little sister some mung bean soup."

Jiang Cheng raised the basket in his hand.

"Oh~ It's so hot, thank you for your hard work!" Xu Sanniang was very touched and praised him quickly.

"It's okay, Mom, you guys are the ones who are working hard! What's this for me?"

Jiang Cheng found a clean place to put down the basket, scooped a bowl for Xu Sanniang and Song Qian with a spoon, and handed it to them.

"Thank you, brother!" Song Qian wiped the sweat from her head, took the bowl and started drinking.

"It's okay, there's more after you finish drinking it! I'll send it to you until the summer harvest is over! We still have plenty of mung beans at home!"

Jiang Cheng also wanted to do more for this family, and after thinking about it, he decided to send some mung bean soup.

"Do you want to go find Xiaoyu?" Jiang Cheng looked at Song Tingzhi.

"It's okay, Xiaoyu will definitely have food and drink with those little brats! There are plenty of wild animals in the mountains!" Song Tingzhi waved his hand. He didn't know where to find Xiaoyu!

"Then wait until he gets back to drink it. There's still plenty left in the pot!"
