Chapter 49049 Chu Song's feelings deteriorate
The collision was quite hard, and Chu Song's head rested on Lu Minglin's shoulder. When Ye Xiuzhi pulled him up, he was still dizzy and seeing stars.
The driver cheerily shouted from the front, "Hold on tight, everyone! This road is rough and full of potholes."
Ye Xiuzhi waved her hand in front of her eyes. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Chu Song's face was full of depression. She was not an iron head, so of course it would hurt.
She rubbed her bruised head, grimaced for a moment, and then said angrily, "When I have money, I'm going to turn all these dirt roads into concrete."
"Tsk, if you really build this road, it will benefit the people of this country. I'll have someone erect a statue for you."
"That's not necessary, mother. Let's erect a stone tablet at the entrance of the village. You can also engrave my great achievements on it."
"..." He starts a dyeing factory as soon as he is given a little color. He is so arrogant.
Ye Xiuzhi didn't bother to think about these trivial matters. She turned to look at Lu Minglin, "Xiao Lu, are you okay? Did you get bumped into anything?"
"...It's okay." Lu Minglin shook his head.
He even felt a little regretful that Ye Xiuzhi was quick-witted and pulled Chu Song away in one go.
Lu Minglin curled his fingers unconsciously. The texture of the clothes seemed to remain on his fingertips, and he could feel the warmth and softness at that moment.
When Chu Song bumped into him, her hair brushed against his chin and neck, it was itchy, but also made his heart beat faster.
Then comes the stinging of the wound, which is negligible.
"Are you really okay?" Ye Xiuzhi asked. She immediately went to care about her daughter, but she vaguely remembered that she seemed to have bumped into him near the wound just now.
"It's really okay, Aunt Ye."
Ye Xiuzhi was relieved, "Okay then."
Then he glared at Chu Song fiercely, "You can't even sit still. You're the only one flying around in the car. You don't know how to sit properly."
"How could you not sit properly?" Chu Song retorted, "I think I'm just too weak and need to eat more meat to replenish my energy."
"..." Ye Xiuzhi was speechless. Everything could be linked to food. "Get up, get up, switch seats with me. What if you bump into Xiao Lu again?"
Chu Song stood up reluctantly, "He's not Miss Lin, how could he be so sickly?"
"who?"
"Sister Lin, Lin Daiyu."
Ye Xiuzhi thought about it, but couldn't remember anyone in the village with that name. She chuckled, "How did you know her? You seem to have so many sisters every day."
Chu Song was stunned for a moment and shouted: "I hate you and don't want to talk to you."
"Hey! You've grown wings, are you looking for a fight?"
Xiang Baoshu bit her lip, almost dying of laughter at this conversation. Why didn't she think Chu Song had a talent for comedy before?
She smiled and explained: "Aunt Ye, Lin Daiyu is not a real person, she is a character in a book. She has been weak and sick since childhood. The word "Xianxian" should be a metaphor."
Ye Xiuzhi nodded, her attitude quite natural. She was not very literate and had only read a few books in her life. "So that's how it is. I thought it was some girl from the village."
Xiang Baoshu praised: "Not many people read Dream of the Red Chamber nowadays, and Xianxian even knows Lin Daiyu. She is really cultured."
"Humph, who are you looking down on? I've read a lot of books."
Ye Xiuzhi had a headache. Why could someone be so stubborn as to say "nothing can be spit out of a dog's mouth"? He spoke in sarcastic and venomous ways, and she didn't know who learned this from.
Xiang Baoshu smiled: "Really? That's amazing. If it were in the past, maybe I could get into university."
Ye Xiuzhi: "Really? Can I really get into university?"
"Of course, Aunt Ye. Comrade Chu Song is actually very smart."
Ye Xiuzhi smiled the same smile as Chu Song, her face was full of smiles. Now she had no hope. With Chu Song's practical level of farming, he would probably be the first one to fail the review when applying for university.
However, although she was just a rural woman and did not understand any profound principles, she knew that people should read more. There is a difference between educated people and those who have not been educated.
There were so many scholars taking the imperial examinations in the past, how could you just not take them? What if you could take the college entrance examination again one day?
This is why, no matter how hard or tired she is, she supports her children in studying more.
In a sense, Comrade Ye Xiuzhi's ideas are still very advanced.
Chu Song calculated the date and knew that the day of resuming the college entrance examination would come sooner or later. In the original novel, the heroine was doing business while going to school to learn, and finally gained both fame and fortune.
Chu Song has no obsession with college, but she can't stand anyone being better than her, especially Xiang Baoshu. The two have been competing since they were young. If the college entrance examination is really resumed, Chu Song must do better than her.
If you spread it out, you'll be so proud, hehe.
"Mom, just wait for me to bring honor to our family. From now on, you can tear up the family tree and start writing from my name."
Everyone in the Chu family: "..."
Even if Ye Xiuzhi thought highly of good people, she couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this. She was so angry that she could not contain her anger. She even wanted to bring honor to the family. Her ancestors would be so angry that they would come back to life.
When they returned home, the sun had not yet set. Lu Minglin originally wanted to go back to the educated youth site, but Ye Xiuzhi persuaded him to stay. She said that it was time for dinner soon and it would be too much trouble to go back and forth.
Lu Minglin thought about it and stayed shamelessly.
He is now becoming more and more skilled at freeloading. From Chu Yaoguo to the two Chu brothers, their relationships with him have become much closer. This is the result of his intention to please them.
We had noodles for dinner. Xiang Baoshu was very good at cooking. She used well water to knead the dough, and rolled it in her palm until it gradually became smooth and firm. Then she rolled it out into thin pancakes with a rolling pin and cut it into noodles of even width with a knife. Each noodle had a pearly luster.
The water in the big iron pot was boiled, and a few vegetables freshly picked from the vegetable garden were added. The green leaves stretched out in the water, and thick white mist rose when the noodles were put into the pot.
Xiang Baoshu added two drops of homemade rapeseed oil and soy sauce. When the green leaves floated up, the aroma wrapped in the fragrance of flour drifted out of the courtyard wall.
Chu Song followed the smell to the kitchen. Xiang Baoshu was still as annoying as ever, but the food she cooked was really delicious.
"Bring me a bowl." Xiang Baoshu saw her and didn't feel strange. She said it naturally.
Every time after cooking, Chu Song is the first to enter the kitchen.
When eating noodles, everyone took their own bowls to serve the noodles, so Chu Song took his own large bowl without hesitation. The noodles picked up by chopsticks were covered with amber soup and were chewy and springy. The vegetables were also just right, with the heart of the vegetables crispy and tender.
Xiang Baoshu asked with a smile: "How does it taste?"
"It's just okay, barely." Chu Song said stubbornly.
Xiang Baoshu smiled and said nothing. The portion she made was large enough that after Chu Song finished eating, there was still enough for her to have another bowl.
In fact, Chu Song did secretly serve another bowl while Xiang Baoshu was not paying attention.
After dinner, Xiang Baoshu cleaned up the kitchen and began to process the meat and vegetables she bought during the day. After blanching them, she diligently made the stew.
Ye Xiuzhi smelled something and asked her curiously what she was going to do.
Xiang Baoshu hesitated for a moment and was about to reply, but Chu Song answered first: "She wants to make braised food."
"How much does it cost to make so many?"
"She cooks delicious food. Many people beg her to cook for them. Make more so we can share some with them." Chu Song poked Ye Xiuzhi, "Mom, let's buy some too."
Ye Xiuzhi glared at her.
Xiang Baoshu was also smart and instantly understood what Chu Song meant. She smiled and said, "It's okay, Aunt Ye. If Xianxian likes it, I can make more. I can't eat so much myself. These are all made by others, and they have been paid for."
For now, it's best not to reveal things like speculation. It's not possible to say it directly, so we can only try to embellish it.
"Don't bother with her. She likes all kinds of delicious food. You just spoil her too much." Ye Xiuzhi waved her hand and refused. What kind of family is that? They eat and drink delicious food every day.
"Xiao Xiang, I have to say a few more words. You can help others, but don't suffer any loss yourself. You have done so much, which is time-consuming and laborious. You can charge a processing fee, but you can't do it for free. Even a mosquito leg is meat."
Xiang Baoshu replied obediently: "I understand, aunt."
Ye Xiuzhi nodded with satisfaction, without any doubt at all.
After everyone left, Chu Song raised his eyebrows complacently: "Well, you dealt with my mother in just a few words, you couldn't do it without me, right?"
"Yes, it's great to have you."
Chu Song curled his lips, then rubbed his arms exaggeratedly, saying such disgusting words in front of his mortal enemy's disgusting face.
...a bit uncomfortable and disgusting.
Xiang Baoshu was still smiling. The corners of her eyes were slightly downturned, but the tails of her eyes were upward. She had very standard fox eyes. When she smiled, there was a hint of cunning in her eyes.
Like a cunning fox.
When it was cut open, it was all black. Chu Song had already seen through her true face.
She came out of the kitchen. Since there were not many entertainment activities in the countryside, the most common thing people did after dinner was to get together and chat while working. The men shelled beans and the women did handicrafts.
This is not the point. The point is that Chu Song stayed in the kitchen for so long, and when he came out, Lu Minglin was still there.
No way, you haven’t left yet?
This is what Chu Song thought and asked, without any concern about offending anyone.
There is a saying that goes, "Buy the weak and fear the strong, pick on the weak and squeeze the weak." Lu Minglin seems to be principled, but in fact he has no bottom line. Chu Song is not afraid of him at all.
Ye Xiuzhi's eyes darkened. Chu Song always managed to bring her "surprises". How foolish! She could even say this. However, she couldn't say it simply because he had given her so much food.
Terrible child.
Ye Xiuzhi: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
Lu Minglin replied in a good-tempered manner: "Sorry, I was so engrossed in the conversation with Uncle Chu that I forgot the time. Aunt Ye, it's getting late. I have to go back first. Sorry for disturbing you."
That’s right, Lu Minglin did it on purpose. First, he wanted to see Chu Song more, and second, he wanted to please his elders.
At the very least... he thought narrowly, he had to be more liked by the elders of the Chu family than the one with the surname Fang.
Ye Xiuzhi hurriedly pulled the person back and stopped him from leaving. Just kidding, if he really left, wouldn’t it be like they were chasing him away?
"No, it's still early. Sit down and continue chatting. Don't pay attention to certain people."
Some people: “…”
What are you doing? What are you doing?
Chu Song gritted her teeth. She was not a fool. With Lu Minglin's expression, was he trying to steal her parents?
Chu Song squeezed in between Ye Xiuzhi and Lu Minglin, raised his head, curved his lips, and said with a forced smile: "What are you talking about so intently? Let me listen too."
Lu Minglin stared at her smile and felt that he was probably really hopeless, because when he looked at Chu Song now, he found her adorable in every way and his heart was beating wildly.
So, Lu Minglin remained silent. When he lowered his eyes, his eyelashes cast tiny shadows under his eyes. The tips of his ears turned slightly red, but it was not obvious. If Chu Song had not been so close, he probably would not have noticed it.
Chu Song: "..." Why is he blushing?
She thought about it for two or three seconds and came to a questionable conclusion: Could it be that Lu Minglin's brotherly love for her has deteriorated?
