Chapter 62 Care
Jiang Zhiluo almost jumped up in fright.
She was so focused that she didn't notice someone approaching.
"Mom, why are you awake so early?"
Madam Cui said, "Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to set up a snack stand today? I figured you'd be up early to get busy, so I'd get up just in time to help you."
Jiang Zhiluo didn't expect that Mrs. Cui would get up so early to help her.
I slept very late last night.
Calculating the time, they slept for a total of two hours, or four hours.
"Mom, I can actually do it myself. It's still early, so there's still time."
"How can I let you suffer alone? I woke up naturally in the morning anyway, and I couldn't sleep, so I got up and did something."
Mrs. Cui actually just wanted to help Zhiluo, but she didn't want her to have any psychological burden.
Jiang Zhiluo understood, so she felt warm in her heart.
Cui Hejin originally wanted to get up and go out of the house, but he realized that his young wife would feel a little uncomfortable, so he didn't go out so early.
…
Soon, Mrs. Cui and Jiang Zhiluo started working together.
Those who are kneading the dough are kneading the dough, and those who are preparing the leek filling are preparing the leek filling.
But while she was busy, Madam Cui seemed to have thought of something and said, "Zhiluo, what did you just say about washing it white? Is there some black on the clothes that hasn't been washed white?"
She washed clothes yesterday at noon. Could it be that she didn't wash them well?
Jiang Zhiluo's mouth twitched, and she said, "No, mother, don't think too much. I just said that the noodles are very white."
"Yes, fine noodles."
Mrs. Cui didn't suspect anything and didn't ask any more questions.
Jiang Zhiluo breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Zhiluo didn't know that although her voice was not loud when she was muttering to herself just now, Cui Hejin still accidentally heard it with his good hearing.
Soon, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui started making leek pancakes together.
While Jiang Zhiluo was immersed in her busyness, Cui Hejin came out of the house and washed up.
He was wearing a plain white robe today, and he looked even more elegant and noble.
After Jiang Zhiluo and Old Madam Cui finished their work, Cui Hejin helped to light the fire and prepare breakfast.
After the family had breakfast, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui put everything on the food cart and prepared to push it to town.
Even though Jiang Zhiluo's legs were not good, she was prepared to limp there.
But the medicine I applied yesterday worked, and my feet don’t hurt anymore, but I still find it a little unsteady to walk.
She thought it would take a few days to fully recover.
After putting everything away, before leaving, Old Madam Cui said to Cui Hejin, "You rest at home first, and then go to the school when classes start. Zhiluo and I will go set up the morning stall first."
Their chive dumplings are delicious for breakfast or lunch.
Ever since she worked with Jiang Zhiluo in the brown sugar business for a while, Mrs. Cui was no longer worried about going to town to sell things.
Anyway, with Zhiluo's ability, she will definitely be able to sell the things.
Moreover, no one had ever seen or eaten leeks, but she thought they were particularly delicious. Even compared with some delicacies in Beijing, their taste was unique and delicious.
I believe most people will find it delicious.
Cui Hejin said in a clear and gentle voice: "Mom, I will go to the town with you."
Mrs. Cui was startled and instinctively asked, "Isn't the school's class time not this early?"
It was just dawn when they went to the morning market in town. It was almost dawn, and it was also the time when everyone came out to buy food at the morning market.
So they had to go early, as there was still more than an hour before Cui Hejin usually went out.
Classes start late at school.
If you go early, the door won't open.
However, Cui Hejin usually goes early to read books and prepare lesson plans.
Cui Hejin glanced down at Jiang Zhiluo's feet and said softly, "Something happened at school today, so I have to go early."
Mrs. Cui looked at her son's expression and saw where his gaze was. Her expression changed and she understood instantly.
She quickly said, "Okay, school matters are important too. We've already had breakfast, and you don't have anything to do at home. Come with us."
"By the way, can you help us push the food cart? Zhiluo's feet are not in good condition."
Jiang Zhiluo was stunned. How come in such a short while, Cui Hejin was the one helping to push the food cart?
"Actually, there's no need. The food cart isn't heavy."
In fact, it is mainly the flavor of the braised food, a large wooden barrel braised flavor.
Of course, the wooden barrel was a clean one. It was previously used to store water. She washed it twice and prepared to use it specifically to store braised food.
It's not the wooden barrel that was used to hold pig offal.
Jiang Zhiluo has very high requirements for the cleanliness of food.
Although Jiang Zhiluo said no, Cui Hejin still stepped forward to help push the small food cart.
Jiang Zhiluo, on the other hand, was much more relaxed. Although their Donghe Village was not far from the town, it would only take about quarter of an hour to walk there at a fast pace, or more than half an hour.
But my feet are not in good condition, so it is quite tiring to walk while pushing things.
This will be much easier.
Jiang Zhiluo was walking behind and looking at Cui Hejin's figure, as if thinking about something.
More than half an hour later, they arrived in town.
Cui Hejin took them all the way to the morning market.
Jiang Zhiluo waved her hand at Cui Hejin and said, "Didn't you say something happened at the academy? Go there quickly and don't delay anything."
Cui Hejin looked at the hustle and bustle of the morning market without saying a word.
At this moment, an old lady carrying a basket hurried forward and almost squeezed Jiang Zhiluo.
Cui Hejin stretched out his hand to block it gently to prevent the old lady from bumping into Jiang Zhiluo.
In fact, with Jiang Zhiluo's skills, she could naturally avoid being hit by others if she wanted to.
But there are always crowds of people at the morning market, which is unavoidable. She didn't care at first, but she never expected that Cui Hejin would protect her.
Jiang Zhiluo's eyelashes trembled. Was he protecting her?
Or is it just that he was well-educated and did it instinctively?
Jiang Zhiluo looked up at Cui Hejin, and when Cui Hejin lowered his head, he met her clean and clear eyes.
Her eyes are extremely beautiful, and when they blink they are full of spirit, as if they can speak.
Cui Hejin's expression paused slightly, and there seemed to be a bright moonlight in his eyes, shimmering and charming.
"Your feet are not in good condition, be careful."
"Oh, it's okay, I'm not that squeamish."
Compared to the injuries I suffered during organizational training in my previous life, this foot injury is nothing.
If Cui Hejin hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten.
Cui Hejin was helpless. This girl didn't know how to take care of herself at all.
He whispered, "Don't get hurt again."
Jiang Zhiluo was about to say something when she heard an old woman say happily, "Oh, girl, you're here."
"aunt!"
This lady is the one who won a prize when I bought her malt candy yesterday.
"Girl, are you still selling malt sugar today?"
"Auntie, we're not selling malt sugar today. We're selling chive dumplings."
"What are leek boxes? Hey, why do I smell something so fragrant, like meat?"
Jiang Zhiluo patiently replied, "Auntie, chive dumplings are similar to pies, but they have a unique flavor."
"I brought some braised food this morning. Since you're a regular customer, I'll give you a little extra weight if you want to buy some. If you don't, you can still try some."
