Chapter 102: The Heartless Educated Youth in the Period Literature (7)
The sun above our heads shines on the earth wantonly, shining brightly and warmly.
As Liang Tiantian said, it will go bad if left until the evening, and you may not even be able to wait until the evening.
Shao Jinglin pinched his eyebrows in annoyance, showing obvious disgust for the first time. It was really annoying to have people who couldn't understand rejection.
"Brother Jinglin, are you unhappy?"
Su Yu tried hard to take her eyes away from the bowl of noodles and moved closer to Shao Jinglin, with worry and curiosity mixed in.
"Comrade Liang is so kind to you that he came here specially to bring you food."
Shao Jinglin was indeed not that happy.
But he didn't explain too much, just said: "We are neighbors and interact with each other more often."
Su Yu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Is that so? Then the relationship between you neighbors is really good."
Such a good thing is given away as a gift. Nowadays, you can imagine how much oil and seasoning are put into such a bowl of fragrant noodles, and eggs are also added. It is really worth it.
Shao Jinglin was worrying about what to do with this bowl of noodles.
His eyes moved to her as Su Yu spoke, and he suddenly had an idea: "Su Zhiqing, you can eat this bowl of noodles."
Su Yu's eyes widened slightly: "Ah? Me?"
Su Yu tried her best to suppress the ripples on her lips.
She didn't even ask for food, but Shao Jinglin took the initiative to put the food to her mouth.
It's hard to find such a considerate man even with a lantern, but she unexpectedly met him. He is truly worthy of being the kind-hearted man she carefully selected.
Su Yu pretended to be hesitant: "Is this okay? Comrade Liang made it specially for you, what would happen if I ate it?"
Shao Jinglin: "It doesn't matter, she won't know."
Rather than letting it go bad, it’s better to give it to Su Zhiqing.
His eyes unconsciously fell on Su Yu's body, which was much thinner than ordinary people.
Su Zhiqing is so thin. The food she has eaten in the countryside for the past month must not be better than in the city. Instead of wasting this bowl of noodles, it would be a good idea to use it to nourish her body.
If it were anyone else, he would have done the same.
After Shao Jinglin convinced himself in this way, his thoughts became smoother.
"Since it's given to me, I have the right to dispose of it. I've already eaten it, so it's a waste to leave it there. Why don't you help me with it, Su Zhiqing?"
She even found a reason.
Su Yu was touched. It was rare to find such a considerate and kind person.
Su Yu refused for a moment, but couldn't resist and took it.
When she opened the lid, a fragrant aroma wafted into her nose. It must be the lard added and flattened with green onions. The white noodles were wrapped in the soup. Su Yu, who hadn't eaten delicious food for a long time, started to drool.
"Then should I eat it?" Su Yu asked tentatively.
Shao Jinglin nodded: "Yes."
"You eat here while I go to work. There's not much left. You take a break. I can finish it by myself."
Across the sheaves of wheat on the ground, Shao Jinglin's back was tall and upright in the sunlight, giving a sense of security.
His skin was not fair, but it was not dark either.
They were all exposed to the sun, but others were almost turning chocolate brown, while Shao Jinglin's skin was only slightly darker, a healthy wheat color.
Su Yu attributed this to the male protagonist's halo.
The heroine’s cooking skills were good. Su Yu was very satisfied with the meal, even a little full. She couldn’t help but burp. She looked at the fried egg that was specially left next to her and blinked.
"Brother Jinglin."
Su Yu quietly came behind Shao Jinglin.
"Turn around."
Shao Jinglin had already noticed the movement.
Hearing the sound, he casually tucked the freshly cut wheat between his arms, turned around, and handed a round, oily fried egg to his lips.
Shao Jinglin was stunned.
Su Yu smiled and said, "I left it specially for you."
"Don't worry, I put it on the lid in advance. It's clean and delicious. Brother Jinglin, please try it." Su Yu explained because she was afraid that he would dislike it.
The same words, when spoken by different people, will generate different moods for the listeners.
Shao Jinglin lowered his eyes and saw Su Yu's curved eyes.
After staring at each other for a moment, Shao Jinglin pursed his lips, looked away and took a half step back: "You eat it, I don't like it."
You eat it, I don’t like it——
Such familiar words.
At this moment, Shao Jinglin's face suddenly became old and kind, and he said with a smile like an old father, "You eat it, I don't like it."
Su Yu couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.
Fortunately, it was only a moment.
"How could there be someone who doesn't like eating eggs?" Su Yu was surprised and obviously didn't believe it.
She thought for a while and tentatively suggested: "How about we each take half?"
Shao Jinglin's Adam's apple moved slightly. After a moment, his long eyelashes drooped. He nodded and hummed softly.
Liang Tiantian could never have imagined that Shao Jinglin didn't eat many bites of the meal she specially prepared, and most of it went into Su Yu's stomach, making it a good deal for her.
At this moment, she was happily fantasizing about Shao Jinglin becoming rich in the future and her life as a wealthy wife.
Liang's mother glanced at her little girl who was grinning at the air and said unhappily, "Stop laughing. I asked you to bring a meal to your father, but you gave all the fine flour and eggs at home to outsiders. You are such an outgoing girl. You haven't even married yet, but you're already thinking about subsidizing others. How can you be so stupid?"
"Mom, stop talking. I know what's going on. You'll know it later." Liang Tiantian's thoughts were interrupted and she shouted in a low voice.
"What do you think? I think you are the one who has the least idea in our family!"
Liang's mother was furious: "Don't go next door anymore. You are such a grown-up girl, but you go to a man's house every day. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? If Shao Jinglin really cares about you, he should have arranged the marriage earlier. You have wasted all these years."
"Oh, I know, I know. Please go out. I still need to read." Liang Tiantian's ears were callused from hearing these words.
A feeling of being the only one sober while everyone else is drunk arises spontaneously.
Only she had witnessed how prosperous this land would be in the future and how powerful Shao Jinglin would be in the future. People living in this era could not imagine it at all, and no one understood her at all.
But it doesn’t matter. When she has a good life in the future, she will not forget to support her family.
Now there is something more important.
Liang Tiantian knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed in more than two years. Shao Jinglin took the first step to success through the college entrance examination. So could she also...
Sitting in front of the desk, the book was spread out flat, well protected by the previous owner, with neat handwriting and exuding the scent of ink.
Unfortunately, Liang Tiantian was destined to have no talent for studying.
Looking at the full page of words, which seemed like a book written in heaven, she nodded her head after a while.
Even though I knew the importance of studying, I couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep soundly on the table.
…
The fried egg was eventually shared by the two of them.
Aftertasting the fragrance in her mouth, Su Yu smacked her lips in satisfaction, rolled her eyes, and approached Shao Jinglin: "Brother Jinglin, thank you."
Shao Jinglin: "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for giving me food."
Su Yu looked at him with trust and joy, then suddenly became shy and asked in a low voice, "This afternoon, let's go to the same place as yesterday, okay?"
In order to thank Shao Jinglin and to win over this good man who could help her with work, Su Yu decided to be generous and share with him the canned fruit she had stolen from home.
These days, food is hard to come by and fruits are even more scarce. However, if fresh fruits are not available, it is not difficult to eat canned fruits.
But even so, canned fruit is considered a luxury in rural areas where supplies are scarce.
Su Yu felt that she was very generous. She had kept it for a long time and was reluctant to eat it.
The system, which knew Su Yu's true nature well, had serious doubts, so she said that she was simply craving for food and that was the excuse for herself.
The girl suddenly came closer, grabbed a small piece of clothing, and said in a small and ambiguous voice: "I have something to say... I want to talk to Brother Jinglin alone."
Shao Jinglin's pupils shrank slightly.
