Chapter 43 Sleeping with a Strange Woman

Wenjuan took a short rest and then went back to work.

In the empty yard, Jiang Tang sat alone on a chair, and on the long bench beside her were the mulberries that the man had picked for her.

Jiang Tang ate them slowly, one by one.

"Chuyang, come and eat some fruit."

Qin Chuyang was squatting by the courtyard wall, staring at the wood that Qin Xiao had just carried back. When he heard her voice, his little head shook, and he ran back, opened his mouth wide and exclaimed "Ah" at Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang stared at his dirty little hands that poked at the wood, and then gently twisted a mulberry and fed it to his mouth.

He ate another one himself, and then fed the little one, and repeated this process over and over again.

The little boy pointed at Jiang Tang's mouth with his little hand, "Sister-in-law, your mouth is poisoned, it's black."

Jiang Tang knew what was going on without even looking, because the little guy in front of him also had black lips, which did not look very pretty.

She put the remaining half bowl of mulberries into the cupboard.

Take the kid to wash his hands and face.

The uncle and his wife looked at each other with laughter, and the two little cats washed themselves slowly.

In the afternoon, the sun was setting outside the courtyard, and Qin Xiao had not returned yet.

Jiang Tang washed the rice and brought it to the stove.

"sister in law."

Jiang Tang clapped her hands and wiped her fingertips on her apron before responding and walking out to open the door for them.

The gate opened, and Wang Qilei walked in with an extension cord, followed by Zhang Hetian.

"Sister-in-law, here's the power strip you asked for." Wang Qile handed the power strip to Jiang Tang.

"Excuse me, Leizi." Jiang Tang took the power strip and said to them with a smile, "You two take your seats first, I'll go try it out."

"Juan'er and the others are still busy. Go and tell them to stop."

Wang Qilei and Zhang Hetian followed behind Jiang Tang, "No need, sister-in-law, we are also curious about how this strange thing works."

Jiang Tang was happy, "Okay, let's take a look together."

She walked into the bedroom with the extension cord, plugged it in, and then dragged it to the small wooden rack next to the refrigerator. She picked up the wire next to the refrigerator and carefully plugged it in.

Jiang Tang bent down and opened the door of the top layer of the refrigerator. At first, there was no cold air inside.

Wang Qilei couldn't wait to ask, "Sister-in-law, how is it? Does it work?"

Everyone was crowding in front of Jiang Tang, looking more anxious than Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang blinked and said, "We should wait a while. The power has just been turned on and it may not react yet."

Wenjuan and Zhang Guimei in the main room also ran over curiously, and the group of people just stared at the refrigerator.

As if looking at something rare.

Jiang Tang found the scene a little funny. Things that were seen everywhere in later generations were now so novel that even she herself found them extremely rare.

After a while, Jiang Tang felt the chill coming over her. She tilted her head and looked at the people with surprise in her eyes, "It's starting to cool down!"

She stood a little further away, smiling, "You guys try it too."

Several people hurried forward and indeed felt a cool breeze.

Several people looked at each other, surprised and happy.

"This thing is really useful." Wang Qile was amazed.

Zhang Guimei stared at the refrigerator and said, "I never thought I would see something like this in my life."

Wang Qilei stared at his mother and smiled, "Mom, your son will buy it for you in the future."

Zhang Guimei patted her son on the back and said cheerfully, "Okay, then I, your mother, will wait to enjoy your blessing."

No matter whether her son buys it for her in the future or not, she is happy that he has this intention.

Zhang Hetian also stared at Wen Juan and whispered, "I'll buy it for you too."

Wenjuan looked at him and nodded gently.

Several people stood around the refrigerator and looked at it for a while. They found it very interesting. This was a good thing that even the peasants in Wuli Village could use.

After watching to their heart's content, he said goodbye to Jiang Tang, "Sister-in-law, we'll go back first."

Jiang Tang was packing up the food and preparing to put everything in the refrigerator. Hearing what they said, he raised his eyes and said, "Let's go back after dinner."

Wang Qilei waved his hands, "Sister-in-law, it's too late. I won't eat today."

And it’s not a special day. I really can’t eat with my brother and sister-in-law like this every day.

Seeing that they insisted, Jiang Tang nodded, "Okay, I'll use the oven to bake some small cakes and send them to you."

Wang Qilei grinned and said, "Then we can just wait to eat the ready-made cakes."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Guimei patted him on the head, and he walked out rubbing his aching head.

Jiang Tang was amused. After seeing them off, she returned to the kitchen, stared at the refrigerator with a smile on her face, and couldn't help spinning around happily. She couldn't be happier.

Looking at the little guy standing in front of the refrigerator, Jiang Tang patted Qin Chuyang on the head and said, "Chuyang, do you like our big refrigerator?"

Qin Chuyang nodded continuously, "Sister-in-law, I like it."

His little face was full of curiosity, and he kept opening the refrigerator to blow some cold air.

He doesn't just like it, he really likes big refrigerators!

Jiang Tang gently pinched Qin Chuyang's little face, "Okay, it can't be kept open, otherwise Chuyang will catch a cold and will have to get injections and take medicine."

Hearing his sister-in-law say this, Qin Chuyang immediately stepped back a few steps, staring at the refrigerator with frowned eyebrows.

He doesn't want to catch a cold and doesn't want to go to the hospital.

The hospital is scary, I can't go there.

The young man stepped back far away, and Jiang Tang watched with a smile.

She packed up the ingredients and put the fresh ones in the refrigerator.

I took out the mulberries that I didn’t finish eating in the afternoon from the cupboard and put them on the top shelf of the refrigerator. They should still be edible tomorrow.

Jiang Tang couldn't wait to use it. He put the things in the refrigerator neatly in place, and then he closed the refrigerator with satisfaction.

He rested his hands on his waist for a while, staring at the freshly made refrigerator with satisfaction, tilting his head to admire it.

After seeing enough, Jiang Tang returned to the stove.

The rice is already cooked. Move the pot aside and use the residual heat from the stove to warm the rice.

Jiang Tang used the refrigerator, and her eyes were curved with a smile while she was cooking.

Qin Chuyang followed his sister-in-law, observing her appearance, and said loudly, "Sister-in-law, when I grow up, I will buy you a big refrigerator to make you happy."

Jiang Tang put the chopped vegetables into a bowl and smiled when he heard what the boy said. "Okay, I'll wait for Chu Yang to buy me a new big refrigerator."

She cut all the vegetables, put the iron pot on a tripod, poured in some oil, and when the oil was steaming hot, added in chopped green onions, ginger and garlic and sautéed them until fragrant.

When cooking, keep your children away from the cooking oil to avoid them getting burned by the excessive oil temperature.

Jiang Tang finished cooking the last dish.

Qin Xiao walked in through the door carrying wood.

Watching the man carry the wood to the corner and put it down, Jiang Tang looked at him and asked in a sweet voice, "Are you back?"

Qin Xiao responded in a low voice.

"Chuyang, get some water for your brother and wash his hands. Then come to the kitchen and bring out the food so we can eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little guy rushed out with his short legs like a little cannonball.

Jiang Tang put the last dish into the bowl, and the steaming and fragrant dish was ready.

After the man and the kid washed their hands, they walked into the house.

Jiang Tang also went out to wash his hands, then came back and sat at the dining table.

Qin Xiao had already served the rice, with a bowl in front of each person. Jiang Tang looked up at the man and pointed to the refrigerator in the kitchen with a smile, "My big refrigerator is already in use. Don't force yourself to eat the food you can't finish later. It's fine to put it in the refrigerator overnight."

In the past, any leftovers at home would end up in Qin Xiao’s stomach, but he would no longer be needed in the future.

Qin Xiao turned to look at the refrigerator, then turned back to stare at the woman's happy expression and said "hmm".

Jiang Tang put a piece of meat into the man's bowl and stared at him with a smile, "We're going to the mountains today, and the labor force is the greatest."

Qin Xiao looked at the meat in the bowl and ate it expressionlessly.

Jiang Tang was eating when she suddenly remembered what happened in the past hundred days. She raised her eyes and stared at the man, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

The man stared at the little girl with his dark eyes, as if he had something to say, and frowned slightly, "What is it?"

The man took the initiative to speak. Jiang Tang blinked, but still couldn't resist the curiosity and the inexplicable emotions in his heart. He muttered, "Qin Xiao."

The girl stared at the man in front of her with her dark, watery eyes, and asked softly, "Did you...have you ever liked anyone before?"

She had never considered before that Qin Xiao had already thought about breaking off the engagement before the original owner married him.

Qin Xiao doesn't like Jiang Cui.

But...what if Qin Xiao wants to break off the engagement with Jiang Cui because he has someone he likes?

The dim light flickered on the man's cold and hard outline.

Qin Xiao raised his eyes and stared at Jiang Tang. He was moved for a moment, but did not answer immediately.

He whispered, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Jiang Tang blinked, feeling inexplicably guilty. She turned her head away and muttered, "No reason, I'm just curious."

At this point, she looked at the man again and pouted her lips, "Is this question difficult for you to answer?"

Qin Xiao stared at the little girl, feeling that if he didn't answer, the girl in front of him would get angry in the next second. The corners of his lips raised secretly, and his voice was low and flat, "It's not difficult to answer."

The man stared at the woman in front of him with deep eyes, and said calmly, "I didn't have anyone I liked... before."

After hearing this answer from Qin Xiao, Jiang Tang didn't know if it was the answer he wanted. With a slight smile on his lips, he said "Oh" softly.

Jiang Tang's lips were about to raise, and he quickly picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth to chew.

Suppress the twitching corners of your mouth.

Qin Xiao always adhered to the principle of reciprocity, and looked at the girl in front of him with his dark eyes.

"What about you?"

A man's sudden voice came, Jiang Tang looked up, dazed, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. Qin Xiao was asking her if she had liked someone before.

Jiang Tang narrowed his eyes and shook his head blankly.

She has never been in love before and has no particular crush on any man.

Looking at the girl's shaking head, a faint smile appeared in the man's black eyes.

Jiang Tang was ignorant and unaware.

I just thought to myself that Qin Xiao just wanted to break off the engagement with Jiang Cui and get the money back. He didn't have anyone he liked before.

I don’t like Jiang Cui, nor do I like Liu Lan, or anyone else.

After figuring it out, Jiang Tang's eyes were filled with smiles. He felt inexplicably happy, and all the emotions that had been pent up in his heart today dissipated.

After finishing the meal, Qin Xiao washed the dishes, and Jiang Tang began to think about the oven. After looking at it for a while, he found that the functions of the oven were not as comprehensive as those in later generations, but it was enough.

When Qin Xiao took Qin Chuyang to take a bath, Jiang Tang repeatedly reminded him, "Qin Xiao, you and Chuyang should be gentler. There is a power strip on the small shelf, so water can't leak through."

Qin Xiao stared at the cautious look of the little girl and nodded helplessly. Jiang Tang walked out of the door, looking back every few steps.

In the yard, he couldn't forget it either, "Qin Xiao, be gentle and don't spill the water."

"I should have cleared the bathroom as soon as possible so I don't have to worry about getting an electric shock when I take a shower in the future."

The little girl kept talking, and Qin Xiao was almost tortured to death.

He quickly finished his shower, carried Qin Chuyang out the door, and stared at the ignorant little girl in the yard, totally at a loss.

When Jiang Tang took a shower, he was also very careful, fearing that water would splash onto the socket.

After finally washing it clean, Jiang Tang went out while wiping her hair.

Qin Chuyang and Qin Xiao have already returned to the house.

Jiang Tang also returned to the room.

Staring at the man who had already climbed onto the bed, Jiang Tang blinked, "Is the bed in your room not made yet?"

She suddenly realized that Qin Xiao had been in the mountains all day and she was in a bad mood, so she had forgotten about it. Only now that she saw the man in the room did she remember it.

Jiang Tang was a little embarrassed, "Let me make the bed for you first."

Before Qin Xiao could say anything, Qin Chuyang raised his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll sleep alone, that's fine!"

He has grown up and needs to sleep alone.

Jiang Tang was speechless and glanced at Qin Xiao who was standing beside the bed. The man didn't say a word.

She opened her mouth, sighed, slowly climbed to the inside of the bed, and yawned softly.

"Okay, let's go to bed."

The little brat sleeps alone, does that mean she should sleep with Qin Xiao? !

That's impossible!

Jiang Tang closed his eyes and endured for a while, then felt the light suddenly dim.

Then there was a rustling sound, and someone lay down next to her.

I could feel the presence and the strong presence of the man beside me.

Jiang Tang turned sideways, moved her slender fingertips slightly, and then felt something hard, which was not the texture of a soft bun of a little kid.

This is obviously a man.

Jiang Tang's hand retracted instantly, his voice trembling, "Chu...Chu Yang?"

The next second, Jiang Tang heard the little guy's soft voice coming from outside the bed, "Sister-in-law, go to sleep."

He was quite innocent, but it was enough to scare Jiang Tang to death!

When did the little brat start sleeping outside!

Her heart was beating wildly and was almost out of control. Jiang Tang swallowed softly, feeling as if she was floating in the air. "Chuyang, why are you so far away from your sister-in-law? Don't you like your sister-in-law anymore?"

Even the sound of his voice seemed to be filled with grievance.

Qin Chuyang immediately raised his voice to deny, "I like my sister-in-law the most."

In the darkness, his voice was full of judgment, "Sister-in-law, Chuyang is a man, you can't let your sister-in-law hold him while sleeping."

Whenever he sleeps next to his sister-in-law, he wants to be hugged. He won’t grow taller in the future.

Jiang Tang was indifferent.

The man next to her was too prominent, so she whispered, "Qin...Qin Xiao."

After a while, the man said in a low and hoarse voice, "Hmm."

In the darkness, the man next to her moved. Jiang Tang held her breath. She felt like her heart was no longer her own. She felt that every minute and every second was torture.

In the dark space, every tiny movement was so obvious, stirring her nerves.

Jiang Tang's breathing paused slightly, and then she felt the man move away from her and keep a distance from her.

While I breathed a sigh of relief, I also felt inexplicably irritated and even annoyed with myself.

Jiang Tang gave up and compromised by closing his eyes. He gently touched his heart with his hand, making sure it would be obedient.

With the irregular beating of my heart, my curled eyelashes trembled slightly. Without opening my eyes, I forced myself to fall asleep.

The sweet fragrance from the girl kept wafting from the man's nostrils. Qin Xiao's throat kept rolling, and his hands hanging at his sides were clenched tightly. In the darkness, his black eyes stared at the dim beams without moving.

It was not until he noticed the woman's gentle breathing that the man's tense body suddenly relaxed and he regained control of his body.

Qin Xiao closed his eyes, and the next moment, he was forced to open them again.

The girl next to him moved over to him, holding his arms with her soft hands and burying her face in his neck, her breath hitting it. The man instantly got goosebumps.

The heartbeat that had calmed down started beating wildly again.

The man took a few quick breaths and stared blankly at the dark roof with lifeless eyes. Every second was torture.

The two people, one big and one small, beside me had already fallen asleep heartlessly.

Qin Xiao stared with his eyes wide open until the early morning before slowly falling asleep.

The next morning, Qin Xiao opened his dark eyes, felt the numbness in his arms, sighed softly, tilted his head to stare at the girl who was sleeping soundly beside his arms, carefully pulled his hand out of the little girl's arms, got off the bed, stared at the two people who were sleeping soundly, Qin Xiao covered them with the quilt, and walked out of the yard silently.

When Jiang Tang woke up, Qin Xiao was gone. She breathed a sigh of relief, at least she didn't have to face embarrassment so early in the morning. She rubbed her eyes, got up from the bed, and stared at the boy who was sleeping soundly.

Thinking that she would have to face Qin Xiao alone as soon as she went out, Jiang Tang wrinkled her nose, pinched the little guy's rosy face rudely, and then pinched the kid's nose directly.

After a while, the kid woke up with wrinkled eyebrows.

Mumbling in a coquettish voice, "Sister-in-law."

Jiang Tang was not merciful at all. After waking up the kid, he put on his clothes and took him out.

In the yard at the door, Qin Xiao had already prepared a meal and was preparing to start work on the lime surface that had been sprinkled yesterday.

Jiang Tang walked into the kitchen without looking around, washed his face with water, and had breakfast.

Then he followed Qin Chuyang to Qin Xiao's side and watched the man work.

Jiang Tang looked at Qin Xiao, blinked, and inexplicably noticed the dark circles under the man's eyes.

I tilted my head and thought about it. Did Qin Xiao not sleep well last night?

For some reason, Jiang Tang suddenly laughed, his eyes full of happiness and schadenfreude.

As if sensing the girl's emotions, the man who was working hard suddenly raised his head, his dark eyes met the girl's watery eyes, and an inexplicable emotion was in his eyes.

Jiang Tang looked away in panic and pursed his lips to pretend to whistle.

Eighty fake moves per second.

Qin Xiao curled the corners of his lips and continued to work.

Jiang Tang licked his lips and said, "Qin Xiao, how long will it take you to dig this foundation?"

"Three days." Qin Xiao responded in a low voice without stopping.

Jiang Tang groaned, blinked, looked at the man who was alone, and whispered, "How can I help you?"

More people and more effort is always better than a man doing it alone.

Qin Xiao closed his eyes and said, "Don't say anything."

You're helping him by not distracting him with your words.

Jiang Tang frowned slightly, thinking that Qin Xiao was complaining that she was not only useless but also a nuisance. She wrinkled her nose slightly and decided not to stay here and watch the disgusting man. She stood up and left.

Qin Chuyang stared at his sister-in-law's back, touched his head, stopped looking at his brother, and followed his sister-in-law.

Qin Xiao's foundation was dug in three days.

At night, at the dinner table, Qin Xiao whispered, "I'll go to the brick factory tomorrow and ask someone to bring back some bricks and cement. I'll continue laying bricks the day after tomorrow."

He looked up at Jiang Tang and said, "We'll be able to set up the bathroom and the other bedroom soon."

Jiang Tang's eyes were filled with surprise, "That's great."

She stared at Qin Xiao with a frown, noticed the man's clothes, and said with a smile, "Qin Xiao, are you tired? I'll massage your shoulders for you later."

The little girl's face was full of attentiveness. Qin Xiao smiled and shook his head slightly.

He must be crazy to make the little girl angry.

The next day, Qin Xiao went out to the brick factory early in the morning to transport bricks.

Jiang Tang got up early in the morning, washed up and had breakfast, then asked Qin Chuyang to follow Wen Juan and the others, while he went to the county town alone.

Qin Xiao has been working really hard these days, and she wants to make something delicious to reward Qin Xiao.

After buying things in the county, Jiang Tang thought for a while, walked to the only dairy store in the county, and bought half a bucket of fresh milk.

She had never thought about buying one before because she was afraid that it would go bad if kept at home for a short time. Now that she has an oven and a refrigerator at home, Jiang Tang started to think about it.

After buying half a bucket of milk, he carried the milk and put the basket on his back back to the village.

When I was about to reach the door of my house.

Jiang Tang noticed with her sharp eyes that there was a woman lying stealthily at the gate of her yard, peeking inside through the crack of the door.

Jiang Tang frowned and tightened her hands holding the milk. This person was looking at the door without knocking. He might be a thief who wanted to peek at how she made instant noodles.

Jiang Tang looked nervous and walked over lightly.

Walking behind the woman, Jiang Tang picked up a stone and shouted, "Who are you and why are you standing at my doorstep?"

The sound of her voice obviously scared the woman.

The woman turned around and frowned when she saw Jiang Tang. "You said, is this your home?"

Jiang Tang nodded, staring at the woman in front of him in confusion. The woman looked quite old, with a big belly, but her limbs were slender. He stared at her with a somewhat unfriendly look.

When the woman heard Jiang Tang say that this was her home, she looked questioning.

"This is not Qin Xiao's home, how can it be your home?"

"Where did the Qin Xiao brothers go?"

Jiang Tang frowned, "Who are you?"

The man did not answer, but stared at Jiang Tang defensively, "This is not your home, Qin Xiao lives here."

Jiang Tang didn't recognize the woman in front of her, and frowned slightly, "Qin Xiao is my man, this is his home, and naturally it is also my home."

"You said Qin Xiao is your man!" the woman screamed, "Impossible, then what about Jiang Cui? Qin Xiao should marry Jiang Cui."

Jiang Tang blinked and stared at the woman in front of him. How come even Jiang Cui knew this woman? Could she really be someone Qin Xiao knew?

The stone in her hand was thrown to the ground. Jiang Tang stared at the woman in front of him and whispered, "Qin Xiao didn't marry Jiang Cui, he married me."

Jiang Tang noticed that the woman's gaze on her had changed. "What's your name?"

The other party couldn't answer a single question, but instead had many questions for her.

Jiang Tang didn't intend to answer her question.

"What were you peeking at my door?"

This woman is obviously guilty.

Jiang Tang was about to continue asking questions when she heard footsteps in the yard and Qin Chuyang's voice calling her.

"Sister-in-law, you're back!"

Jiang Tang immediately raised his voice and responded, "Chuyang, sister-in-law is back and bought you a lot of things."

The little guy in the yard jumped out, "Sister-in-law, I'll open the door for you."

Seeing that the courtyard gate was about to open, the woman, whose face was filled with sorrow after hearing Qin Chuyang's name just now, immediately tried to run away.

Jiang Tang frowned and reached out to grab her, but the woman escaped.

Staring at the back of the woman running away, Jiang Tang frowned with a puzzled look on his face.

Soon, the gate was opened and the little guy jumped out.

Jiang Tang suppressed her thoughts and decided to ask the man after Qin Xiao came back.

Qin Chuyang held Jiang Tang's hand and blinked his eyes at the half bucket of milk that Jiang Tang bought.

Jiang Tang waved the thing in her hand, "Chuyang, do you like it? Sister-in-law will give you milk to drink and make you a small cake."

"I like it." Qin Chuyang nodded without hesitation. He liked everything his sister-in-law did.

Jiang Tang narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to rub the boy's head.

Put the backpack on the ground and put half a bucket of milk on the stove.

Get ready to use the oven.

Jiang Tang washed his hands, took out a clean ceramic basin, took out the eggs from the basket, beat the eggs directly, separated the egg white and yolk, then added corn oil and pure milk, stirred evenly, and sifted in flour and mixed well.

After Jiang Tang mixed the flour evenly, she added the egg yolks and mixed evenly. Then she added the granulated sugar and mixed evenly and set aside. She added the granulated sugar to the egg whites three times continuously and beat them into fish-eye bubbles. Jiang Tang's slender hands kept stirring, and it took her quite a while to beat the egg whites into bubbles. Staring at her results, Jiang Tang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she had succeeded.

Then add sugar and starch and beat until the egg white paste can stand upright.

After finishing the preparations, Jiang Tang plugged in the oven and preheated it.

While the oven was preheating, Jiang Tang mixed the egg whites and egg yolk paste three times until evenly combined, poured the mixture into the mold, shook it a few times on the dining table to release the air, then put it into the preheated oven and waited for the cake to be baked.

While the fruits were baking in the oven, Jiang Tang took out the leftover mulberries from last night from the refrigerator.

Remove the small branches from the mulberry trees, pour them into a small ceramic bowl, add sugar and stir over low heat until they become syrup.

Use a wet towel to take out the enamel basin, and the mulberry sauce is ready.

Now, just wait for the cake to finish baking in the oven.

As time passed, the cake in the oven gradually expanded and the crust began to turn brown. The aroma of the baking cake gradually emanated from the oven.

Qin Chuyang sniffed with his little nose, and stared at Jiang Tang with surprise with his big eyes like black grapes, "Sister-in-law, it smells so good."

He sniffed his little nose in front of the oven, then pointed at the cake in the oven with his little finger.

"Sister-in-law, it smells so good." He had never asked about this fragrant smell before.

Jiang Tang was afraid that he would get burned so he walked over and held the kid's hand, "Just wait two more minutes."

Qin Chuyang nodded his head and said, "Okay."

Two minutes later, the oven stopped and the switch tripped.

Jiang Tangcai walked over with a wet towel.

Carefully open the oven, and a sweet smell instantly bursts out from inside.

Jiang Tang took the towel and took the cake out of the oven carefully. After taking it out of the oven, he quickly shook the baked cake a few times, turned it upside down, and waited for it to cool down before removing it from the mold.

A fully baked cake is ready.

There were no professional tools at home, so Jiang Tang simply took a kitchen knife and cut the cake into pieces.

Staring at the little guy's expression that seemed like he was about to drool, Jiang Tang smiled and handed a small piece of cake to Qin Chuyang first.

Then he went to the main hall and called Aunt Wenjuan and Aunt Guimei.

Wenjuan and Zhang Guimei had already smelled the aroma and had been fighting against the gluttony in their stomachs.

Now that Jiang Tang called them, the two of them did not delay, walked to the door, washed their hands, and went into the kitchen.

Staring at the lush yellow cake on the table, I swallowed unconsciously.

Jiang Tang smiled and said, "Juan'er, auntie, you are welcome. Now we have an oven, so we can make it anytime."

"Take it back and let Lei Zi and He Tian have a taste of it."

Wenjuan picked up a piece of cake and took a light bite. She instantly tasted the rich and fragrant cake, the sweet and soft texture, the smooth and sweet taste that filled her mouth.

She took one bite and couldn't help but take another.

"Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are so good. How come it smells so good?"

Jiang Tang smiled and placed the cooled jam on the dining table. "If you want a richer taste, dip it in this wild mulberry jam."

Wenjuan nodded, and the cake was dipped in a small layer of jam, and the taste became richer and sweeter.

She ate it with a sweet taste.

This was exactly the delicacy of her dreams, and Wenjuan was very satisfied with the meal.

Although Zhang Guimei's expression was not as evident as Wen Juan's, her eyes were also filled with astonishment, and she couldn't help but finish the whole piece in one go.

The little guy's mouth is already full of food, and he is completely satisfied.

Jiang Tang ate a piece himself, squinted his eyes and nodded, it was really good.

In the evening, Qin Xiao had just returned when Qin Chuyang ran up to him and circled around him, cheering, "Brother, sister-in-law made a cake! It's a delicious cake."

Qin Xiao stared at his brother and indifferently at the woman standing in front of the club.

Lei Zi and his family came back these few days, and Wen Juan and Aunt Gui Mei also went back early.

Jiang Tang stared at the man and said with a smile, "Wash your hands first, then eat."

Qin Xiao nodded expressionlessly.

After finishing his meal, he sat down at the table and ate his meal in big mouthfuls.

Jiang Tang was curious, "Aren't you going to transport bricks?"

Qin Xiao nodded. He ate a little too quickly as he hadn't eaten the whole day.

He listened to the girl, swallowed the food in his mouth, and whispered, "Well, someone will bring it over tomorrow morning."

Jiang Tang nodded, then looked at Qin Xiao with a smile, "Hurry up and eat. After dinner, I'll give you a taste of the cake I made today."

After that, he added, "I made jam with the mulberries you picked for me. It tastes pretty good. You can try it later."

The man who didn't like sweets very much nodded silently and ate the food in his mouth more greedily.

Staring at the expressionless and stinky look on the man's face, Jiang Tang wrinkled her nose and said, "I'll make you addicted to my little cake in a moment."

The man who loved spicy food ate his fill and sprayed all the food in the house with his mouth.

The man touched his belly expressionlessly, staring at Jiang Tang with hidden eyes.

Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows. Are you full?

She snorted and laughed, already having the courage to do anything she wanted with the man.

Jiang Tang took the cake out of the cupboard and raised her eyebrows at the man.

The full man stared at the large cake in front of him. His face was hard and cold. He was silent for a moment, then took the cake in his hands with a cold face.

The girl pushed the jam over again.

He exhaled lightly, dipped it in the jam, and took a bite.

Then his thick black eyebrows raised slightly.

After taking another bite, Jiang Tang clapped her hands in satisfaction when she saw the man finish eating.

Qin Xiao quickly completed all the tasks the little girl gave him, and felt a little choked.

He patted it lightly without making any expression and let out a soft breath.

Jiang Tang sat on the chair, swaying, leaning against the back of the chair and staring at the man, thinking about the sneaky woman she met at the door when she came back today.

With her chin resting on her hands, she looked up at the man who was occupying an unusually large space in the kitchen.

"Qin Xiao, there was a strange person at my door today. I don't know him."

Qin Xiao lowered his eyes, stared at the little girl, took a pony and sat next to the burning fireworks.

"What does he look like?" the man asked casually, staring at the fire.

Jiang Tang blinked, thought for a moment, and then whispered, "She is about forty years old, a woman, wearing a headscarf and cloth, if you want to describe her characteristics."

She thought about it carefully, "That woman's belly and limbs are not in harmony. Her limbs are slender, and her belly is a little big."

She looked at the man and whispered, "I came back from the county town and saw her peeking into the house through the crack of the door when I got home."

Qin Xiao frowned slightly. What Jiang Tang said had absolutely nothing to do with the people he knew.

Jiang Tang stared at the expressionless man and raised his voice, "Also, she knows this is your house. When I said it was mine, she questioned me. She didn't even know me, but she said the wife you were originally going to marry was Jiang Cui."

I know Jiang Cui but not Jiang Tang.

Qin Xiao's dark eyes dimmed, revealing a deep emotion. He paused, stared at his brother beside him, and said in a hoarse voice, "Qin Chuyang, did you see that woman today?"

Qin Chuyang shook his head, he didn't see it.

Jiang Tang said, "I went to the city by myself today. Chu Yang was at home, and the woman didn't come in. She just peeked in from the outside. At first I thought she was trying to steal my skills."

Qin Xiao's face was cold and hard. He knew Jiang Cui but not the little girl. The girl gradually overlapped with the woman in his memory. However, when he heard the girl say that the woman was pregnant and had thin limbs, he thought of something. Qin Xiao's features became cold and hard, and his face became more and more indifferent, without a trace of emotion.

Jiang Tang was a little confused. Looking at the increasingly cold expression on Qin Xiao's face, he frowned slightly and asked, "Qin Xiao, do you know her?"

Qin Xiao raised his eyes and stared at the girl. His black eyes were red and extremely cold. His voice was emotionless. "I don't know her."

He stared at Jiang Tang intently, "Next time she comes, if I'm not at home, just chase her away."

Staring at the expression on the man's face, he said that he didn't know him, but his cold look was completely different from what he meant by "not knowing him".

Jiang Tang stared at the man in front of him with worry, and said softly, "Qin Xiao, are you okay?"

Qin Xiao's throat rolled, and a smile appeared on his thin lips. His voice was hoarse, "It's okay."

He said in a soothing voice, "Don't worry."

Jiang Tang lowered his eyelids and lowered his eyes. Who on earth was that woman? Qin Xiao looked as if he hated her. It couldn't be said to be just dislike. There was a subtle hatred hidden in the man's eyes, and it was also fragile.
