Chapter 91 Haitang’s behavior is wrong.
"My hands were covered in frostbite and bleeding and festering, and my mom wouldn't even buy me a box of clam oil for a few cents. But my brother, my mom would buy him anything he wanted."
"I've been working for more than two years, and I hand over all my monthly salary to my family. My mother gives me one yuan in pocket money every month, and she tells me to save the rest as a dowry in the future."
A sarcastic smile crossed Kang Xiaoxia's lips.
"I'm afraid I'll never be able to get my salary back as a dowry in this lifetime. Consider it my way of repaying my parents' kindness. From now on, what's mine is mine, and no one else can take a single cent."
Jiang Haitang hugged Kang Xiaoxia and comforted her.
Jiang Haitang invited Kang Xiaoxia to have dinner with her, but Kang Xiaoxia refused.
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion. Her staying in Haitang would disturb others' celebration.
When the sun was about to set, Kang Xiaoxia said goodbye and went home. Jiang Haitang wanted her to take some mooncakes and fruits back, but Kang Xiaoxia refused.
"Don't take it. If you take it back, it will probably go into someone else's mouth. If I want to eat it, I'll come to you tomorrow."
Jiang Haitang didn't force it, but just watched Kang Xiaoxia walk away.
After seeing Kang Xiaoxia off, Jiang Haitang sent a mooncake to Liu Hongmei's home.
Liu Hongmei smiled and said, "You made a great mooncake. Even though I've been married for a while, I still don't know how to make this kind of mooncake."
Aunt Kong also praised it, saying, "We used to make mooncakes when we were in the countryside. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, several families would get together to make mooncakes, and each household would have a different sticker on them."
"People in the village say that a wife's dexterity can be judged by how well she makes mooncakes."
Aunt Kong fell into reminiscence and began to talk more.
"At that time, when the moon rose high in the sky at night, every household would offer sacrifices to the moon..."
Having said that, Aunt Kong stopped talking. In recent years, people are not allowed to mention feudal superstitions, and people dare not even talk about things like moon worship.
After a few more words, Aunt Kong went to the backyard to pick a lot of vegetables for Jiang Haitang and forced them on her before letting her go home.
Jiang Haitang returned home with a bunch of fresh vegetables, and Lu Liangchen and Xiao Taozi also came back.
Seeing Jiang Haitang, Xiao Taozi took out a big white rabbit from her pocket and gave it to Jiang Haitang like a treasure.
"Give this candy from Grandma Hu to Mom."
"Grandma Hu gave this to Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao ate it by herself."
Jiang Haitang did not take the candy handed to her by the little girl, but just smiled and pinched her little face.
"Grandma Hu gave me a handful of candies, one for mom, one for dad, and one for Erni..."
The little girl counted the people one by one with her fingers, very seriously, which made Jiang Haitang and Lu Liangchen laugh.
"Little Peach, count the candies slowly first, while Mommy makes something delicious."
"Hmm!" Little Peach struggled with the few pieces of candy persistently.
Lu Liangchen followed Jiang Haitang to the kitchen.
"I'll help you!"
"No need, go outside and play with Xiao Taozi."
The kitchen is small to begin with, and it becomes even more crowded with one more person standing there.
"I want to stay here with you. Little Peach can play by herself." Lu Liangchen said to Jiang Haitang in a coquettish tone.
Sure enough, as soon as the two of them said this, Erni called Xiao Taozi at the gate, and Xiao Taozi immediately ran out the door.
After the little guy went to school, he became familiar with many children and would take the initiative to play with them without the need for adults to accompany him.
Seeing the little girl running out, Lu Liangchen took Jiang Haitang's hand and held her in his arms.
Jiang Haitang didn't shy away, but hugged him back generously, with her face nestled in his chest.
"It's so nice to meet you!" Jiang Haitang murmured.
"Uncle Zhang said that I am lucky, and I also think that I am lucky to have met you." Lu Liangchen smiled lightly and kissed Jiang Haitang's hair gently with his lips.
"Tangtang, I can't wait to marry you. When will you grow up? I can't wait..."
The man's voice was hoarse, and clearly contained some unspeakable desire.
Jiang Haitang had lived for several decades in two lifetimes. Even though she had never slept in the same bed with a man, she could feel the changes in his body.
Just when she was feeling awkward and didn't know how to refuse, Lu Liangchen gently kissed her forehead and let her go.
"I'm going to the backyard first."
Watching Lu Liangchen fleeing in panic, Jiang Haitang smiled happily.
She hummed a song and began to wash vegetables and meat in preparation for dinner.
Jiang Haitang washed the ribs and chopped them into small pieces, preparing to make sweet and sour spare ribs. The taste is sour and sweet, and Xiao Taozi will definitely like it.
Cut off a piece of pork belly and chop it into small pieces to make braised pork. Braised pork is the most satisfying, and the soup is also very delicious when mixed with rice.
Stir-fry a plate of dry beans, serve a plate of cold cucumber salad, and finally cook a tomato and egg soup. Four dishes and one soup, a very standard dinner.
Jiang Haitang made white rice as the staple food, which satisfied the family of three. Xiao Taozi praised her repeatedly, saying that the rice cooked by her mother was the most delicious.
"The little guy provides plenty of emotional value." Jiang Haitang teased.
"I can also provide emotional value!" Lu Liangchen immediately expressed his attitude.
Jiang Haitang: ...
Is this a competition for favor with Xiao Taozi?
After dinner, Lu Liangchen cleared the dishes, and Jiang Haitang cut the piece of lard she had bought today into small pieces to make lard.
"Haitang, Director Hu has arranged for us to go on a business trip soon."
When Jiang Haitang heard what Lu Liangchen said, she immediately stopped what she was doing. Was it for Professor Gu and Professor Shu?
"Where are you going?" Jiang Haitang asked carefully, as if lowering her voice would make it easier to get what she wanted.
"Yunjing County." Hearing the long-awaited place name, Jiang Haitang's eyes lit up, brighter than the stars at night.
"When are we going?" Jiang Haitang was a little impatient.
The two elders were her benefactors. If they had not taken her in in her previous life, she would not have been able to live a stable life, let alone study.
In this life, she would try her best to make the two elders suffer less, so that they could get out of the predicament and return to the city as soon as possible.
"Can we go tomorrow? No, I can't go tomorrow. I have to prepare some food, drinks and medicine for the two elders."
Jiang Haitang kept muttering to herself, feeling impatient.
Lu Liangchen couldn't help but frown when he saw Jiang Haitang so excited.
No, Haitang’s behavior is wrong!
