Su Chenhao laughed: "Money is meant to be spent. We're buying useful things, so it's not a loss."
“That’s true.” She glanced at her watch. “Let’s hurry, the car will leave in five minutes.”
Qiao Xiaoni felt a mix of emotions as she thought about leaving by train the day after tomorrow. Fortunately, everything at home was arranged. As long as they worked hard, they could earn enough money to live comfortably.
Back home.
I saw that Li Meihua had already prepared several dishes, all of which were her favorite dishes, and placed them on the cutting board.
"Mom, why did you make so many dishes again?" Qiao Xiaoni picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of meat, and tasted it. The taste was just right; the old lady's cooking skills had improved a lot these days.
Li Meihua put down the spatula in her hand: "You're leaving the day after tomorrow, so I was thinking of making you some more delicious food."
You've been so busy at home these days, you've lost a lot of weight. You eat meat all day but haven't gained an inch.
Qiao Xiaoni thought of her current weight of 105 pounds: "My body is healthy now, I can eat whatever I want and I don't gain weight or get sick, so you don't need to worry. Look how good my complexion is, I don't look malnourished at all."
Li Meihua stirred the pot with a spatula: "Anyway, you should eat more while you're at home. Once you're out, your son-in-law will take care of you. If you lose even an ounce of weight, I'll hold him accountable."
Su Chenhao, caught in the crossfire, said, "Mom, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission. I promise I won't let her lose any more weight. I'll make sure she eats at least two bowls of rice each time and at least two pounds of meat a week."
"Yes, I'm relieved to hear that." Li Meihua scooped the stir-fried pork with chili peppers out of the pot, poured in cold water to wash it, and then, thinking that her daughter was going back to the old house tomorrow, she turned around and gave them some instructions.
"You don't need to go back too early tomorrow, just go back right on time. Just listen to what your grandfather says."
Qiao Xiaoni finished her water and said, "Don't worry, I know how to handle this. I've even prepared a gift for him. He won't make things difficult for us."
Li Meihua wiped her hands with her apron: "What gifts did you buy?"
"I bought some tea for the old man, and I'll also bring the two bottles of wine we have at home. He should be satisfied."
Li Meihua: "Yes, your grandfather loves to drink. As long as there is alcohol, he won't cause you any trouble."
By the way, if he offers you more money, don't take it. He's already given you money twice, so he probably doesn't have much money left at home.
If anything happens after that, they won't even have emergency funds.
"Okay, I've got it." Qiao Xiaoni saw that four dishes had already been prepared, and Li Meihua took out a fish to cook: "Mom, this is enough fish. Let's eat it tomorrow! Otherwise, you'll eat leftovers at home every day, and your stomach will feel really uncomfortable."
Li Meihua realized there was indeed enough food, so she put the fish back in her hand and said, "Then we'll take your word for it and have these dishes. You all go wash your hands quickly, dinner will be served soon."
Qiao Xiaoni put the cup back in its place and went with Su Chenhao to wash their hands by the well outside.
At the dinner table, everyone's conversation revolved around university life.
Tao Chunfang: "If you ask me, it's better to rent a house outside than to stay in a dormitory. We rural people and city people just can't get along. There might even be some friction."
"You two can help each other out by living together, and you're going to get married sooner or later anyway."
Li Meihua glanced at her husband but didn't say anything, which meant she tacitly approved of her daughter living with Su Chenhao.
