Then look at Su Ying, who acts with integrity, speaks and does things with grace and poise, without any affectation. Without comparison, there is no harm.
He didn't complain about Qiao Xiyan's suggestion. After all, it was normal for someone to drive the oxcart because he hadn't slept all night. He had no objection to letting Gu Sinian rest well in the oxcart.
"Stop talking nonsense and get in the car. We need to get back to Willow Village as soon as possible so we can have lunch. I still have to work in the fields this afternoon to earn work points."
When this topic came up, everyone lost interest in chatting, but Su Ying seemed completely unfazed.
In her previous life, she wasted three years on a farm, a life that was simply unbearable for a human being. Now, hearing about working in the fields is perfectly normal for her.
She had absolutely no desire to discuss topics like working in the fields.
Silently, she took out two still-warm steamed buns from her crossbody bag and handed them to Sun Xuelin.
Sun Xuelin, who was rushing to catch the train, was taken aback. He quickly took the money, thinking he was going to go hungry, but he was surprised to receive a big surprise.
The plump, white steamed bun had spoiled his palate with the food he'd been eating these past two days, and now when he got home, it was just pickled vegetables and porridge again.
Just thinking about it made me lose my appetite, so I wolfed down the buns, taking big bites.
I'm so happy! Pure white flour buns are so delicious; they can't compare to the cornbread I make at home.
The capitalist's daughter is not heartless at all. She is not a selfish exploiter who only cares about enjoying herself. She is very generous and a good person.
On the contrary, Qiao Xiyan, who came from a well-off family, was different; she was stingy and miserly.
"Thank you. Comrade Su is very generous."
Qiao Xiyan sat next to him, her face as black as ink. This was too much of a bullying. What did Sun Xuelin mean by that? Was he calling her petty?
"If you're so generous, why don't you ever treat me to big steamed buns?"
Sun Xuelin glanced at Qiao Xiyan speechlessly. He had a terrible impression of her and didn't bother to talk to her anymore. He continued to eat his steamed bun while driving the oxcart.
Su Ying handed two large steamed buns to Gu Sinian, who was sitting not far away. Gu Sinian originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought of the little girl's heroic act last night, how she had taken in so many things into her small body, the two small steamed buns were just a drop in the ocean.
He didn't say much, just took the bun and started eating.
"Is it tasty?"
Gu Sinian nodded. It was completely different from the steamed buns he had eaten before, with a slight sweetness. He roughly understood what was going on with this food.
If he wasn't mistaken, the steamed bun in his hand was a Shanghai-style food product.
He had lived in the Su family's house for three years, eating Shanghai cuisine for those three years, so he was quite familiar with Shanghai food...
She must have a storage bag on her, the kind that can hold everything, not only bloody pork and smelly mutton, but also cooked food, and it can keep it warm.
Gu Sinian touched the steamed bun that Su Ying had handed him earlier; it was still warm.
"When did you buy these steamed buns? They're still warm!"
Su Ying, who was taking something out of her pocket, visibly froze. She had come home too late last night and went straight to sleep. When she woke up, Gu Sinian was already knocking on her door.
She was disheveled and looked like she had just woken up. How could she possibly have had the chance to go out and buy steamed buns? How could you explain taking steamed buns out of her bag? They were still warm, and you could tell at a glance that they were freshly baked.
At this moment, Su Ying felt timid and didn't know how to start the conversation. All she could think about was how to explain herself and get away with it.
I was sweating profusely on my forehead...
"This...this...I bought it on the street...I put it in my bag when you weren't looking, that's why it's still warm..."
Sun Xuelin nodded at Su Ying's explanation, not thinking anything of it. He believed Su Ying's words without a shred of doubt.
Gu Sinian had been secretly observing Su Ying, and seeing her guilty look, he knew that his guess was pretty much right.
Her storage bag is quite versatile. Knowing it won't harm her health, my anxiety gradually subsided. I'll ask her about the storage bag later when I find the right opportunity; now isn't a good time...
I grabbed a steamed bun and started eating it. It tasted good, and before long I had two more steamed buns in my hand.
"The remaining two are for you. I originally prepared one for Comrade Qiao based on the number of people, but since he doesn't care, I won't force him."
Qiao Xiyan curled her lips and glared fiercely at Su Ying. This woman was definitely doing it on purpose. Who invites someone to eat and only asks once? Can't they ask several times?
Su Ying didn't want to give her any food at all; who was she trying to impress with that magnanimous act?
She hated pretentious women more than anything else in her life, and she would never eat anything that the woman had touched.
"It's just steamed buns, everyone's eaten them before," Qiao Xiyan swallowed hard as she watched Gu Sinian devour the buns.
Gu Sinian didn't care whether she lived or died and ate with relish all by himself.
"It's not rare at all. Everyone's eaten white bread before."
Gu Sinian shot her a fierce glare, and Qiao Xiyan obediently shut her mouth.
"Eat it or not, it's up to you. Nobody's forcing you. If you don't want to eat, then go hungry. You won't starve to death in a few hours, and there will be food to fill your stomach when you get back to Willow Village."
Upon hearing Gu Sinian's words, Qiao Xiyan, who was usually so outspoken, immediately wilted and sat down to rest with her eyes closed, while the oxcart slowly moved along the dirt road.
Su Ying looked at the oxcart crawling along at such a snail's pace. It wasn't that the journey was too far, but rather that the oxcart was too slow, even slower than her bicycle. Feeling a little helpless, she sat down to the side, closed her eyes, and pretended to doze off.
If I don't close my eyes soon, I'll get frustrated by the speed of that incredibly old ox.
It's so slow.
I'm a bit sleepy anyway, maybe I'll take a nap and wake up in Willow Village.
Su Ying was feeling sleepy when she fell asleep, her head resting imperceptibly on Gu Sinian's shoulder...
Qiao Xiyan, who was standing to the side, was so angry that she jumped up and down. She was about to curse when Gu Sinian glared at her fiercely, and she swallowed the curse she was about to utter.
Qiao Xiyan glared at Su Ying like a fighting rooster the whole way, but Su Ying slept soundly, completely unaware that Qiao Xiyan had been glaring at her the entire time. Before she knew it, more than five hours had slowly passed...
