Chapter 028
When Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan returned to the educated youth point, it was already past lunchtime.
No one knew where Han Ting and the others had gone. They were not at the educated youth site, so the place was quiet inside and out.
Go to the kitchen quietly to cook and eat, and then go back to the dormitory to rest after eating.
After resting for a while, Chuxia saw Lin Xiaohan carrying a backpack and taking his tools to go out, but she did not follow him out immediately as she did before.
Although Lin Xiaohan just said on the way that he wouldn't lose a single piece of flesh whether she followed him or not.
But Chuxia still felt that it was better not to follow him too closely or too deliberately, but to find a more appropriate degree and be more natural, otherwise it would definitely arouse his resentment.
In fact, if you think about it, even an ordinary person would definitely feel disgusted and uncomfortable if being stared at and followed by another person all day long, as if being monitored, let alone Lin Xiaohan.
Chuxia stayed in the dormitory for another twenty minutes, and went out when she felt it was about time.
When she went out, in addition to bringing vegetable seedlings and seeds, she also brought tools for digging holes, as well as a wooden bucket and dry gourd ladle for watering the plants.
From the educated youth camp to the private plot.
As soon as Chuxia walked onto the river bank, he stretched his head to look at the private plot on the river beach.
She now has a relatively accurate guess about Lin Xiaohan's whereabouts and whereabouts. He is growing vegetables in the field.
Chuxia walked slowly along the river bank until she came to the private plot. She hesitated for two seconds whether to say hello or not, then smiled and said to Lin Xiaohan, "Why didn't you call me when you left?"
Lin Xiaohan didn't look up while planting vegetables. He said in a cold tone, "Aren't you good at getting along with others? If you need a companion to do something, just go by yourself. I don't need anyone to accompany me, so why should I ask you to do it?"
After hearing what Lin Xiaohan said, Chu Xia was suddenly stunned.
Knowing his character, she was prepared to be ignored by him after the greetings.
If he was in a worse mood, he might have said something harsh to her.
So I never expected that he would say something like this.
Maybe he is really in a good mood today?
Taking advantage of his good mood, Chu Xia smiled and asked, "Then I'll call you next time?"
The results also proved that Lin Xiaohan was in a good mood today.
He replied in a cold and indifferent tone: "Whatever you want."
Yes, this kind of tone and attitude would make others unhappy.
But for Lin Xiaohan, it was already considered that he was in a good mood and generous to others.
After saying these words, Chu Xia didn't know whether Lin Xiaohan's mood had changed, but her mood had changed for the better.
She put down her schoolbag and backpack, took out all the seedlings and seeds she had bought in the morning, rolled up her sleeves to reveal her snow-white arms, and began to happily plant vegetables.
Dig a hole and plant a seedling.
When planting seedlings, you have to consider how much distance to leave in between.
For plants like tomatoes, cucumbers and loofahs, you need racks for them to climb, which requires a lot of space.
Dig holes and plant the purchased seedlings, then fetch water from the river and use a gourd ladle to water the plants.
Because the land is next to the river, it saves a lot of effort to fetch water.
In early summer, people have limited strength, so they throw a wooden bucket to the river to fetch water, but they only get half a bucket.
She brought up half a bucket of water and just as she was pouring two spoonfuls of water on the seedlings, she heard a voice from the shore: "Teacher Lin, Teacher Tang, where are you planting vegetables?"
Chuxia raised her head and looked towards the shore, only to see Liang Youtian.
Lin Xiaohan reacted much faster than Chu Xia and responded, "Yes, Captain Liang, today happens to be Sunday and I have some time, so I came over to plant the vegetables. I will have whatever I want to eat in the future."
Liang Youtian smiled with satisfaction and said, "You two really know how to live your life."
He glanced at a large piece of land of one acre nearby and asked, "What's going on with them? The land has been distributed to you for a week. How come it is still the same as it was when it was distributed?"
Lin Xiaohan said: "Maybe their family conditions are good and they are supported by their families, so they don't need it."
Hearing Lin Xiaohan say this, Chu Xia looked at him.
Others may not know, but she and Lin Xiaohan, who lived in the educated youth site together, knew that Han Ting and his family had never received much financial support, and they ate whatever the production team gave them.
Nowadays, food rations in the city are distributed according to household registration and per capita.
For most ordinary families in the city, the monthly salary they earn from work is enough to buy the food rations on their food allowances, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and vegetables. They rarely eat fruits and snacks.
Every household lives frugally, especially those with many children.
Of course, as children do not have to worry about the daily necessities, they may not know this clearly.
In terms of family conditions, among the twelve educated youth, Lin Xiaohan's family was the best, followed by Chu Xia.
Lin Xiaohan's parents have good jobs, and Chuxia is an only child in the family. Moreover, her family ran a restaurant before the land reform, so the family financial situation was relatively good.
The ten people including Han Ting all come from very ordinary families.
Their families basically have no means to support them. It is impossible for them to move to the countryside and expect them to live the same life there as they did in the city.
Even Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan couldn't live the same way as when they were in the city.
After all, from the moment they moved their household registration to the countryside, they were no longer city dwellers. They could no longer receive constant care and protection from their parents and had to shoulder the burden of life on their own.
Of course, Lin Xiaohan probably never received care and protection from his parents since he was a child.
Therefore, what Lin Xiaohan told Liang Youtian was naturally not the truth.
The truth could only be that Han Ting and his colleagues were afraid of the hard work and went to work every day only out of necessity. After work, they just wanted to rest and have some fun, and didn't want to work hard to cultivate their private plots at all.
The reason why Lin Xiaohan said this now, in order to prevent Liang Youtian from knowing the truth and causing trouble for Han Ting and the others, was most likely the same as the last time when he "protected" Han Ting and the others in front of Secretary Liu.
Chu Xia glanced at Lin Xiaohan, lowered her head and said nothing.
Anyway, it’s none of her business, there’s no need for her to meddle in other people’s business and offend Lin Xiaohan. She’ll just pretend that she heard nothing and knows nothing.
Liang Youtian chuckled and said, "Okay, the land has been divided among them. They can plant it if they want, or forget it if they don't want to. As long as they behave themselves and don't cause any trouble, anything is fine."
At first I was hoping they could bring glory to the team, but now I just hope they don't cause trouble.
After saying this, Liang Youtian stood and exchanged a few more words with Lin Xiaohan Chuxia before leaving.
Chuxia watched his back as he walked away on the river bank and was stunned for a while.
Before he could regain his composure, he suddenly heard Lin Xiaohan say in a sarcastic tone, "If you are worried about your brother Han Ting, go after Liang Youtian before he gets far away. Tell him to be serious and ask him to send someone to keep an eye on your brother Han Ting and force him to live a good life. I just don't know whether your brother Han Ting will thank you or think you are meddling in his affairs and blame you for reporting him to the brigade cadres."
Chu Xia came back to her senses and retracted her gaze: "..."
Which expression on her face shows that she is worried about Han Ting?
She looked at Lin Xiaohan and retorted, "I'm not worried about him."
He is a male protagonist with a halo on his head. No matter what happens, he can face and solve it with an optimistic and carefree attitude. She has the leisure time to worry about herself, the female supporting role who has been taken advantage of.
Besides, the ten of them were a group, so there was no need for her to be alone and worry about them.
Lin Xiaohan stared at Chu Xia for a while, looking as if he didn't quite believe it.
But he didn't say anything. He withdrew his gaze after a moment, turned around and continued to grow his vegetables.
Knowing that Lin Xiaohan hated Han Ting very much and always had a bad face and tone when mentioning Han Ting, Chu Xia naturally did not continue to talk to him about Han Ting and concentrated on growing her own vegetables.
All the planted seedlings were watered, and lettuce, green onions and green vegetables were planted.
Carefully sprinkle the vegetable seeds on the prepared land, then evenly spread a layer of soil on the seeds, then gently press it down with your feet, and finally water it gently, being careful to wet the land.
After planting the purchased vegetable seeds and seedlings in the fields, the sun was setting.
Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan did not leave immediately. While it was still light, they dug up some newly grown wild vegetables by the river, put them in their respective backpacks and carried them back to the educated youth site.
After returning to the educated youth point, everyone was busy with their own things.
Lin Xiaohan washed his hands and cooked first. Chuxia deliberately avoided him at different times so that he wouldn't complain that she had been hanging around in front of him for too long today.
She first washed and cut the wild vegetables to feed the chickens.
The chicks are still very small now, just a furry yellow ball, and can be kept in a chicken coop.
Lin Xiaohan was busy in the kitchen while Chuxia was busy in the yard. She used well water to wash the muddy wild vegetables, then chopped them into very fine pieces and put them into a broken clay pot she picked up from outside.
While cutting wild vegetables, Chuxia also named her three chicks.
Then when she took the chicks out of the chicken coop to eat, she would grab one and put it on the ground and say, "You call me food to eat... You call me water to drink... You call me money to spend..."
As a result, the three little chicks gathered around the broken clay pot to eat, and she couldn't tell which one was which.
I gave up after a while - anyway, there are three chickens with three names, so there is one for each chicken.
While the three little chicks were eating, Chuxia watched quietly by their side.
When they seemed full, she poured some water into the broken clay pot for them to drink.
The chick had just taken two sips of water when Han Ting and his team came back from work, and sounds of laughter were heard from outside the yard.
Chuxia naturally did not make a sound to disrupt their harmony and liveliness. She just pretended not to hear anything, squatted in the corner of the fenced yard, and continued to watch her little chicks drink water.
Han Ting and the others naturally didn't call her. They washed their hands and went straight into the kitchen to cook.
In early summer, there was no rush to cook, so she just watched the chicks drink water in the yard and run and play around.
When they are tired of playing, put them in the cage and deal with their feces.
Chuxia would wait until there was no one in the kitchen before going into the kitchen to cook.
It was late, and after dinner and washing up, it was almost time to go to bed.
But because I slept a little too much in the morning, I fell asleep a little later than usual in early summer.
Because of her late sleep, she woke up later than usual the next morning.
After getting up, I hurriedly washed, fed the chickens and made breakfast.
When she finished cooking and sat down, Lin Xiaohan had already eaten half of it.
Chuxia took the steamed bun and took a big bite.
Others who got up later than her came into the kitchen to cook.
When I entered the kitchen, I saw Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan sitting together eating again.
Han Ting was stunned for a moment, and so were everyone else.
I don’t know what Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan are doing now, and they didn’t say anything.
Ten people got busy, some were making fire, some were scooping water, and some were sitting down and yawning.
Chu Xia didn’t want to pay much attention to Han Ting and the others.
She saw Lin Xiaohan finish his meal and get up to clean up the dishes, she looked up and said to him, "Wait for me."
After saying this, she started eating the steamed buns in big mouthfuls again, finished quickly, and stood up to clean up the dishes.
He cleaned up the dishes and put them away, then left in a hurry.
The other ten people all saw this scene.
As soon as Chu Xia left the kitchen, Gu Yuzhu couldn't help but say, "Is she okay? Lin Xiaohan doesn't even want to pay attention to her, but she's still rushing to do that?"
Han Ting looked unhappy and said, "Why do you care so much about her?"
Seeing that Han Ting was in a bad mood, Gu Yuzhu shut up and didn't say anything else.
The others were also tactful and did not comment on the matter.
***
Chuxia walked out of the yard with her schoolbag on her back and caught up with Lin Xiaohan after a two-minute jog.
She followed Lin Xiaohan, slowed down her pace, panted slightly and said, "Why didn't you wait for me?"
Didn’t they agree on this yesterday? She could ask him to join them.
And going to work together is the most natural thing.
Lin Xiaohan turned his head and looked at her speechlessly.
If he walked at his normal pace, he would almost reach the school by now.
Although Chuxia asked, she didn't care in her heart.
So she didn't think much about it, and didn't say anything more to bother Lin Xiaohan.
Anyway, she could just walk beside him and get some of his energy.
Especially now that it was early in the morning and she was facing the rising sun, she felt as if her whole body was filled with energy and she didn't have any bad mood at all.
Arrive at school facing the rising sun, ring the bell on time to start a new week.
The children have also adapted to school life, and everything has begun to become regular and orderly.
***
After finishing the class with a dry mouth, Chuxia returned to the office to get some water to drink.
Just as I took a few sips to moisten my throat, a little boy suddenly leaned over to the office door, stuck his head in and shouted, "The captain is here!"
Suddenly, Chuxia almost choked on the water.
She put down the cup and looked outside. The little boy had already run away after shouting, but Liang Youtian had indeed come to school and was almost at the office door.
Chuxia hurriedly put down the enamel pot, stood up, and went out with Lin Xiaohan to greet them.
Liang Youtian looked at the children playing in the yard. When he heard Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan greet each other, he walked over and said with a smile, "Not bad, this is what a school should look like."
Lin Xiaohan asked with a smile: "Are you here to inspect the work?"
Liang Youtian walked straight into the office and said, "I'm here to pay you your wages."
When Chuxia heard about the salary payment, her eyes lit up instantly.
Liang Youtian entered the office, closed the door, and said to Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan: "Before I give you the money, I still need to make it clear to you what I should say."
Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan nodded together, "You go ahead."
Liang Youtian then said, "This is our village primary school, so the salary is paid differently from the city. You are registered as rural residents in our team, and the food you eat is also distributed by the team, so your salary is the same as other members, in the form of work points."
Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan nodded again.
Chuxia thought to herself: Does this mean that there will be no money to give them?
After all, the work points recorded by other members will be settled together at the end of the year.
They didn't ask, Liang Youtian continued: "Your work points are based on the highest standard, 10 work points per day, all year round, just like other members, and the production team will settle accounts at the end of the year. This settlement is to use the work points you earned this year to offset the food you ate this year. If the work points you earned this year are not enough, you have to pay more money to supplement the production team. If there are any work points left after offsetting the food, it will be converted into money and given to you."
Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan nodded again.
Liang Youtian continued, "It's the same with other members' families. You don't have to worry. You can only have more than enough. Some members have too many people in their families. There are many children and elderly people who can't work. They eat a lot of food, but few people go to work to earn work points. Then the work points they earn may not be enough. In this case, they have no choice but to sell a pig at the end of the year to earn some money and then supply the production team."
If that's the case, then they really have it easy.
Other people have families to support, but they have no family or children, so whatever they earn is their own. Moreover, the work points they earn are the highest standard in the village - ten work points a day.
Liang Youtian explained it clearly, and Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan also understood it very well.
Lin Xiaohan then asked again: "Captain Liang, what money are you going to give us this time?"
Liang Youtian smiled and said, "Being a teacher is naturally different from other members. We rural teachers are subsidized, five yuan a month. I will give you the subsidy."
There is still money to be made, Chuxia's eyes lit up again.
Her eyes were filled with smiles that spread across her entire face, and she said, "Thank you, Captain Liang."
Liang Youtian said: "There is nothing to thank for. This is what every teacher needs."
As he said that, he took out money from his pocket and gave five dollars each to Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan.
Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan took the money and said thank you a few times with a smile.
Liang Youtian didn't stay any longer, opened the office door and said, "Okay, I won't bother you any more, you guys should get ready for class."
Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan saw Liang Youtian off to the door of the office, but Liang Youtian didn't let them see him off again.
The two watched Liang Youtian walk out the door, then turned around and went back to the office together.
Chuxia had a tense expression, but the moment she turned and entered the office she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This was the first money she had ever earned since she was a child, so of course she was happy.
She happily sat down at the desk, counted out one dollar and fifty cents, stood up and handed it to Lin Xiaohan, saying, "Here, half the money for the candy."
Lin Xiaohan was not polite and reached out to take it and counted it.
Chu Xia sat back at her desk and said, "I won't give you a penny less."
Lin Xiaohan counted the money and said, "That's not necessarily true."
Chuxia curled her lips at him and ignored him.
She put her money back into her schoolbag, got up and went out to ring the bell for class.
After receiving the teacher subsidy, I am more passionate about teaching children.
And this passion continued until school was over at noon.
After sending all the students away, Chu Xia returned to the office, packed her schoolbag, and said to Lin Xiaohan in an excited tone: "I won't go back yet. I have to go to Captain Liang's house."
She borrowed one dollar from Chen Jinfeng the day before yesterday.
Now that I have money, I have to pay it back to her immediately.
After quickly saying hello to Lin Xiaohan, Chuxia picked up her schoolbag and ran away.
When she ran to Liang Youtian's house, Chen Jinfeng was cooking lunch at home. She called her "Auntie" and went straight into the kitchen. She said thank you and handed the money to Chen Jinfeng.
Everyone is short of money these days, so Chen Jinfeng didn't hesitate to accept the money with a smile.
After collecting the money, she chatted with Chuxia for a while and asked her what she bought at the market yesterday.
After chatting, she casually said, "After dinner, I have to go to the commune for a meeting."
She is the women's director of Tanxi Brigade and received a notice to go to the commune for a meeting this afternoon.
Chuxia was not interested in what kind of meeting Chen Jinfeng was attending in the commune, but she still listened to what she said.
After listening to this, Chu Xia suddenly remembered something and asked Chen Jinfeng: "By the way, Auntie, if you have time after the meeting at the commune, can you bring me some things?"
What's wrong with this little thing? Chen Jinfeng asked directly: "What do you want to bring?"
Seeing her say that, Chu Xia took out a small cloth bag from her schoolbag, took out money and tickets from the small cloth bag and said, "Auntie, can you please bring me half a pound of pork belly and half a pound of white flour?"
Chen Jinfeng took her money and ticket readily, "Okay, I'll buy it for you after the meeting. I won't send you to school, you can come and get it yourself after school in the evening."
Chu Xia happily responded: "Okay, thank you for your help then."
***
Chuxia asked Chen Jinfeng to help her bring white flour and pork, naturally because she promised Lin Xiaohan that she would treat him to noodles with soybean paste after receiving his salary.
Favors owed must always be repaid, and the sooner you pay them off, the sooner you will feel at ease.
So after school in the evening, Chuxia hurriedly said hello to Lin Xiaohan, put on her schoolbag and ran to Chen Jinfeng's house, and took the pork and flour she brought back from the commune from her.
Because there were no vegetables at the educated youth site, Chuxia asked Chen Jinfeng to borrow some carrots and cabbages.
There are no fresh cucumbers to eat at this time of year, otherwise it would taste more refreshing if you cut the cucumber into shreds.
After leaving Chen Jinfeng's house, Chuxia carried pork and flour back to the educated youth point.
When she was halfway there, she ran into Lin Xiaohan who was also on his way back to the educated youth camp. She quickly quickened her pace and caught up with Lin Xiaohan, asking him, "Why are you still on the road?"
Lin Xiaohan glanced at her and asked instead of answering, "Where have you been?"
He said goodbye and ran away in a hurry after school at noon, and just now he said goodbye and ran away in a hurry after school again. I don't know what he was busy with.
Chuxia raised the pork and flour in her hand and answered him, "I asked Aunt Jinfeng to bring me half a pound of flour and half a pound of pork from the commune. Now I'm going back to make you noodles with soybean paste."
After she finished speaking, she immediately looked at Lin Xiaohan and asked, "Are you looking forward to it?"
Lin Xiaohan replied proudly: "It's just okay."
Chu Xia curled her lips at him: "Just pretend."
Lin Xiaohan said in the same tone: "Why should I pretend? It's not like I haven't eaten noodles and meat before."
Chuxia glanced at him and ignored him.
After returning to the educated youth point, Chuxia washed her hands and immediately started making noodles with soybean paste.
Lin Xiaohan still looked like he didn't care much. He sat lazily beside the table in the kitchen, doing nothing but watching Chuxia busying around.
Chu Xia kneaded the dough for a while, looked at Lin Xiaohan and asked, "Can you help me chop the meat?"
Making noodles is actually quite troublesome. You have to knead the dough, roll it out, cut it into noodles, chop the meat into cubes, and cut some borrowed side dishes into shreds.
Seeing that Lin Xiaohan didn't answer, Chu Xia continued to knead the dough and said, "Forget it. I won't bother you anymore."
It really doesn't make sense to invite someone to dinner and then return the favor, and even ask them to help with the cooking. Besides, Lin Xiaohan is a stingy person.
As a result, Lin Xiaohan sat for a while and then suddenly stood up, took the pork and went out.
He went outside to fetch water to wash the pork, then came back into the house, took the chopping board and put it on the table, with a stinky face and without saying a word, he picked up the knife and cut the pork into slices and chopped it into pieces.
Chuxia looked at him unexpectedly, smiled slightly and said nothing.
Then neither of them spoke. Chuxia continued to roll out the dough and cut noodles, while Lin Xiaohan chopped pork and cut vegetables, cutting the cabbage and carrots into thin strips.
Seeing the shreds cut by Lin Xiaohan, Chu Xia couldn't help but say, "Your knife skills are really good."
Lin Xiaohan said unceremoniously, "That's right."
Chu Xia: “…”
I guess he doesn't even know how to write the word "modest".
All the preparations are done, the next step is to light the fire and fry the meat sauce.
Chu Xia looked at Lin Xiaohan and asked again: "Can you help me light the fire?"
Lin Xiaohan looked at her speechlessly and said, "Are you pushing it a little too far?"
In accordance with the principle of being able to bend and stretch, Chuxia went back when she encountered a wall and went to light a fire behind the stove.
After lighting the fire to heat the pot, she got up and went to the stove to fry the pork belly.
When frying the pork belly, you have to take care of the fire, so after stirring it a few times, you have to go behind the stove to light the fire.
Seeing Chuxia busy around the stove, when she stood up from behind the stove again, Lin Xiaohan suddenly stood up with an impatient look on his face and sat behind the stove to light the fire.
He sat behind the stove with a gloomy face and threw the corn husks under the stove.
I said I would treat him to noodles with soybean paste, but in the end I made him do half of the work!
Chu Xia stood in front of the stove and looked at him, then smiled and said to him, "Thank you."
Lin Xiaohan couldn't laugh at all. He continued to throw corn husks into the bottom of the stove with a cold and annoyed expression.
Chuxia stood in front of the stove and concentrated on frying the pork belly.
Fry the pork belly until golden and fragrant, then pour the sauce into it and fry slowly over low heat.
After the sauce is fried, the remaining steps are much easier.
Boil the noodles in hot water, blanch the vegetables to remove the rawness, and finally place them in a bowl together with the meat sauce.
Chuxia did not put all the prepared noodles in one bowl.
She filled a large bowl first and then a small bowl with the rest.
She gave the big bowl to Lin Xiaohan and the small bowl to herself, which was just enough for dinner for two people.
Just as the two of them sat down to eat noodles, Han Ting and his team came back from work.
Han Ting and his friends had just washed their hands and walked out of the kitchen when they smelled the aroma of meat from the kitchen through the curtain.
All ten people had doubts on their faces and went into the kitchen one by one.
After entering, the aroma of meat was even more fragrant. Then they saw Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan sitting at the table, mixing meat sauce, vegetables and white noodles with chopsticks. They couldn't help but swallowed silently.
Not knowing what the current situation was, they naturally had no right to ask.
As usual, they cooked their own meals in their own pots and heated their own whole-grain steamed buns.
What’s different from usual is that you can smell the aroma of meat without putting it in your mouth.
This is an extremely painful thing, so painful that I can't even utter a word easily.
The other nine people looked at Han Ting silently.
Han Ting had a dark face and exuded an aura that made people afraid to speak.
Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan naturally ignored the ten of them.
After Chuxia mixed the noodles, she didn’t eat them. Instead, she watched Lin Xiaohan take the first bite.
After Lin Xiaohan finished the first bite of noodles.
She looked at him expectantly and asked, "How is it?"
Lin Xiaohan nodded to Chuxia, and suddenly his expression and tone became very exaggerated. He said while savoring the taste: "It's so delicious! I, Lin Xiaohan, have never eaten such delicious noodles in my life! The noodles are moderately soft and chewy, and they feel slightly springy in the mouth. The diced meat is fried to the right degree of crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it tastes crispy and fragrant in the mouth. The garnishing vegetables are also just right, very fresh and refreshing. Especially this sauce, I have never eaten such a delicious sauce in the Forty-Nine City. If I am not mistaken, this sauce should be your secret recipe, right?"
Chu Xia had never seen Lin Xiaohan praise someone like this before.
After he finished praising her like this, she clearly heard him swallowing his saliva several times.
After realizing what he was doing, Chu Xia lowered her head and put the hand holding the chopsticks on her forehead to cover her face. She steadied her voice and responded, "You guessed right. This is indeed my own secret sauce. I put a lot of thought into it."
Lin Xiaohan is so irritating that Han Ting and the others must be humiliated.
Chu Xia was really afraid that Han Ting would come and beat Lin Xiaohan, and maybe even beat her up too.
Moreover, while she was scared, she couldn't help wanting to laugh and couldn't control the corners of her mouth at all.
So she could only lower her head and cover her face with her hands, not looking at anyone in the room, and not letting Han Ting and the others see the expression on her face.
Otherwise, she felt that she would definitely laugh, and laugh out loud.
