Chapter 91 A Lemon Mint
Chen Taohua's love words sounded ridiculous at first, but if you think about it carefully, isn't that what love is all about? It's about giving the person you love the best food and clothing.
For example, pork in this era.
The straightforward and frank friendship is quite suitable for Chen Taohua's character, and is much better than the complicated and hypocritical feelings.
Jiang Tang couldn't help but say, "Taohua, you must be very happy to be liked by a man like you."
Chen Taohua raised her eyebrows and said bluntly, "Being able to eat pork every meal is very happy."
Jiang Tang and Chen Taohua didn't seem to be talking about the same thing, but upon closer thought, they were actually talking about the same thing. After their conversation, the content of the love letter was finally determined.
Just write this sentence: [You come to my house as a son-in-law, I will support you and give you pork every meal.]
Chen Taohua was inspired a lot by her conversation with Jiang Tang. Since love letters should express true feelings, the writer must also be sincere. She no longer pursued beautiful words and did not want Jiang Tang to write for her.
No matter how ugly her handwriting was, she wrote it stroke by stroke.
If that man dares to despise her, then this person is not worthy of her, Chen Taohua's love!
Jiang Tang took out paper and pen, and first wrote down what Chen Taohua wanted to write in the most formal font.
Then Chen Taohua took the paper Jiang Tang had written to her, changed it to a clean piece of letter paper, and copied it over and over again. Even though she had made up her mind, she still hoped that the handwriting would look a little better.
"Taohua...don't use too much force...don't hold the pen so tightly...be gentle...we can write slowly..."
"You wrote the wrong stroke for this character. You should write this stroke first, then this stroke..."
"...Very good! Taohua, you wrote very well this time."
Jiang Tang watched Chen Taohua doing something she was not good at. Several times, Chen Taohua was so annoyed that she almost lost her temper and wanted to tear up the paper in her hand and throw it away. However, she controlled her temper again and again, trying to change herself for the person she liked; she tried her best to do her best so that he could understand her feelings.
Isn’t this the most beautiful thing in love?
Chen Taohua picked up the letter and looked at the line of words on it. Some parts were still crooked, but so what? She had written it with great effort.
She smiled with satisfaction, "I think it's well written too."
Chen Taohua carefully folded the piece of letter paper and put it in her pocket. Then she expressed her gratitude to Jiang Tang, "Jiang Tang, thank you for teaching me how to write. And... you are the first girl to get so close to me and not mind my stench. You are so kind."
Jiang Tang smiled with the corners of his mouth curved.
She could see that although Chen Taohua had a carefree personality and seemed to care about nothing, she still cared about others disliking the pig farm smell on her.
This problem is not difficult to solve.
"Taohua, I'm very happy to be your friend. Let me give you a gift." As he spoke, Jiang Tang pretended to flip over the bamboo basket.
Chen Taohua thought Jiang Tang was going to give her eggs or something to eat, and was about to refuse, but who knew that what Jiang Tang took out... was actually a small green weed.
"for you."
Jiang Tang handed it to Chen Taohua.
Chen Taohua lowered her head and looked carefully left and right. It was just an ordinary little wild grass. When she got closer, she could smell a faint cool scent.
She frowned and said doubtfully, "Isn't this just mint?"
Jiang Tang nodded. "This is indeed mint, but it's not just any mint. Try to smell it carefully. Can you smell the scent of orange peel?"
After hearing what Jiang Tang said, Chen Taohua sniffed it carefully again and said in surprise, "It really does smell like oranges."
To be more precise, it's not oranges, but lemons.
This is a lemon mint taken out from the Lingbao space.
"Taohua, take it home and plant it somewhere. Mint is a very resilient plant and can quickly grow into a large patch. When the mint grows up, you can pick the leaves and use them to wash your hands or take a bath."
"...After I do this, will I also smell like mint?" Chen Taohua asked back.
"Well, this mint has a stronger smell than ordinary mint, and it also has a light orange scent. It's very refreshing. You can use it as perfume." Jiang Tang explained carefully.
Chen Taohua held the seemingly insignificant little weed and blinked in curiosity. "Washing hands with mint? Why didn't I think of it before? Jiang Tang, you're so smart! I'm glad to meet you today. But I don't have anything on me, so I can't give you a gift."
Jiang Tang pointed to the bicycle beside him and said, "This is the best gift you can give me."
They hit it off right away and parted ways after a pleasant conversation.
Jiang Tang rode her bicycle back to the compound, and as soon as she entered the door, her sharp-eyed sister-in-law saw her.
"Sister Jiang, wow, you bought a new bicycle. It's so beautiful. You must have spent a lot of money on it, right?" The sisters-in-law gathered around and stared at Jiang Tang's bicycle.
Jiang Tang quickly explained, "It's not a new bike. I was lucky enough to come across a second-hand bike seller. Look, the wheels and chain are rusty. It's old, but it's still rideable. It'll be more convenient for me to go shopping in the city."
Jiang Tang was afraid of standing out in the compound, and he didn't want to be too conspicuous.
When the sisters-in-law saw that it was indeed a rusty second-hand bicycle, their envious expressions were not as exaggerated as at the beginning.
But some people still asked, "Why don't you buy a new one? Captain Fu's salary is so high, but he can't afford a bicycle. Is it because he doesn't have a ticket?"
Jiang Tang didn't get angry when he heard the deliberately provocative words, but spoke calmly.
"I have two children at home, three mouths to feed, and Fu Sinian is the only one earning money, so I have to save a little. Besides, Chaochao and Yueyue are going to school soon, and buying clothes and books will cost a lot of money. I can't spend money lavishly." She smiled gently and added, "Sister-in-law, from the tone of your voice, your family must have bought a new bicycle, right? Isn't it beautiful? Let me see it?"
The sister-in-law who had just been criticizing suddenly looked embarrassed and was speechless for a moment.
Wang Chunlan said cheerfully, "Little Jiang, don't listen to her nonsense. She's just envious of you having a bicycle. It'll be so convenient to go to the city without having to squeeze into the bus. You can go whenever you want and come back whenever you want. So what if it's second-hand? Any bicycle that can turn is a good one."
Jiang Tang said, "Sisters-in-law, I don't ride my bike every day. Sometimes I don't need it. If you want to use it, just tell me."
"Are you going to lend it to us? Sister Jiang, are you willing to part with such an expensive bicycle?"
"Why would you be reluctant to give it up? Bicycles are meant to be ridden."
As he was speaking, a familiar voice was heard.
"Mom—wow—it's a bicycle—"
"Mom—do we have bicycles at home, too?"
Zhao Xiumei heard the noise outside and walked out with Chaochao and Yueyue. When they saw the bicycle at first glance, the two kids were particularly excited.
