Chapter 117 The Art of Conversation
Busy, busy, always busy preparing something to eat, and I have to prepare a lot of food.
In the era when there were not many electrical appliances, things had to be made purely by hand, so it was even more time-consuming and labor-intensive, which further reflected the word "busy".
It was already past ten o'clock when Su He rested in her room. In this era with little entertainment, compared to her usual bedtime of nine o'clock, she was indeed "busy" too late.
She went back to her room and continued to follow her skin care routine. Not only was the room warm in winter and the air dry, she needed to hydrate her skin even more.
When she was putting on makeup, she saw Jin Weiguo staring at her. She didn't say anything, thinking that this man must be holding back on something. He had wanted to talk to her in private several times in the past two days, but she was busy with this and that and had no time to deal with him.
Jin Weiguo: "Comrade Su He, when you finish those, let's have a good talk!"
Su He asked him to speak. Her hands were busy painting, but her ears were idle. "Just say whatever you want to say. I'm listening. It's just the two of us here. Why do you insist that I stop my hands too?"
Jin Weiguo thought, if I don't look you in the eye, I don't know if what you say is true or not, but he still gave in: "It's really nothing serious. I haven't been home for so many days, and you've been taking care of the whole family at home. Thank you for your hard work!"
Su He smiled at him, "You know how hard I've worked at home, right? Just look at how many delicious foods you've had these past few days. It's been incredibly hard! Look at other families, how can they get so much meat?"
There's a cheat tool for the StarCraft Mall, which is actually very easy, but if she doesn't make it more difficult, how can she show her hard work and nobility! Right!
Jin Weiguo also smiled, thinking that it would be better if you spoke yourself. It seemed like he was inviting him. "Well, I really can't imagine how difficult it is for you. Tell me about it, so I can express my sincere admiration for Comrade Xiao Su!"
Su He only had her feet left to be coated. She picked up a large piece of clam oil with her hand and covered all the cold cream and clam oil on the table with it. She put everything back in place, sat down on the edge of the bed, and began to apply the oil to her feet. While applying it, she explained how she had exchanged the meat for the feet with Granny Cai and the others.
She even mentioned that she not only had the meat tickets given to her by Sister Yuan, but also the meat tickets given to her by Jin Mingde when she passed through the provincial capital.
She mentioned her hometown in the provincial capital and also mentioned Father Jin. Jin Weiguo's mood suddenly became much lower. Even Su He felt that the air around them had become a lot colder!
Su He: "Are you angry at the old man for being so stupid? Or something else?"
Jin Weiguo was so angry that he almost laughed. "I was thinking, my IQ should be mostly inherited from my mom. Otherwise, this old man has been a joke for most of his life... Or maybe he took after my grandfather? It doesn't make sense that such an idiot would come out of our family!"
Su He: "Don't think about it. He will have to bear the consequences of his actions in the future. Let's just live our lives as usual!"
Jin Weiguo: "Mrs. Yuan gave you meat and oil coupons. Was it because of those two children?"
Su He: "Have you heard about it? What's the story? Worried that we'd be asking for repayment in the future, they asked Sister Yuan to send us meat and oil coupons shortly after we arrived."
Jin Weiguo: "Anyway, we can't reach it. Even in the shallows, there will always be a flying thing. Then, when you traded meat with people in town, no one said anything? And the coal at home, if we burn it this way, the amount on our coal certificate will definitely not be enough. Is this also your idea?"
Su He nodded and looked at the man with a face that said, "Praise me!"
Jin Weiguo: "I can't praise you. If I praise you again, you'll be going crazy! You should avoid doing this kind of thing in the future. What if someone sees that our family has too much food and accuses us of hedonism behind our backs? Even if there's nothing wrong, just explaining it will be very troublesome. If there's anything you need at home, tell me and I'll find a way to get it to you openly and honestly!"
Su He didn't understand. In this era, supplies were rationed. It was originally because there was not enough for people to eat and use freely, so they were distributed like this. How could the man do it openly? She didn't understand, so she asked.
Jin Weiguo: "Don't worry, don't forget what I do. In fact, if you can ensure self-sufficiency, you will definitely have no worries about food and clothing. It's just that some people are used to eating from the big pot, so they think that if they don't work hard, they can still have food to eat. The country can't ignore them."
