After knowing that those who destroyed the soap factory had received the appropriate punishment, He Xianqiu was more motivated to work in the afternoon.
But I have to admit that working with my head down all day does cause back and waist pain.
No wonder Mom always gives Dad a massage when he comes home.
Looking at the sunset outside the window, He Xianqiu looked at his watch. It was time to get off work, and the workers officially got off work.
She called Ji Chenzhou, who was reading a recipe on the sofa, and asked with a smile, "What dish did you learn today?"
Ji Chenzhou pointed at the menu and said, "Some of your dishes from Kyoto. How about I make them for you next time?"
He Xianqiu's eyes lit up and he glanced at the menu: "Do you have Beijing-style roast duck?"
Ji Chenzhou touched her head and said, "Yes, but Beijing-style roast duck is a little difficult. But I think this is okay."
You may need to try it a few times, after all, this is a test of experience.
Now that they are together, they are sticking to each other.
He Xianqiu was fine, but Ji Chenzhou wished he could follow her every day.
But He Xianqiu was also very happy. This was probably the sweet trouble that comes with having a partner.
Before the two of them walked out of the soap factory, Ji Chenzhou only dared to stay next to He Xianqiu.
After leaving the soap factory and walking into a quiet path, Ji Chenzhou secretly held He Xianqiu's hand.
He Xianqiu looked at the hand that was being held, she covered it and smiled.
The shy boyfriend suddenly became bolder. He didn’t even dare to hold her hand before.
Ji Chenzhou was paying attention to her all the time, and also noticed He Xianqiu's teasing smile. He blushed instantly, but still held He Xianqiu's hand tightly.
Yu Jichenzhou was just a fool. Although he was very shy, he was happy at that time.
Holding the hand of your loved one, watch the sunset together on a quiet and beautiful path.
The two went to an old house. The kitchen in the old house was very big, many times bigger than the kitchen where He Xianqiu lived.
The activity area is also relatively large, so the two prefer to cook in the old house.
The most important point is that the old house is close to the back mountain, where not many people live, and there is no need to worry about other people smelling the odor.
It is also close to the house where Mr. Zhong lives, so it is convenient to deliver food to him.
Soon the two arrived at the old house, and He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou walked in holding hands.
As soon as they arrived at the old house, Ji Chenzhou motioned He Xianqiu to sit down while he went to cook.
He Xianqiu found a stool and sat down, reading a book in the yard.
While reading, He Xianqiu would occasionally pay attention to what Ji Chenzhou was doing.
At this time, Ji Chenzhou picked up the ribs hanging at the bottom of the well, as well as some other meat. What was rare was that there was also seafood today.
Since they started running the farm, the two of them have been eating meat every day, which was considered a huge luxury in the 1970s.
He Xianqiu looked at Ji Chenzhou and thought that she seemed to be able to eat well every day thanks to Ji Chenzhou.
Before, He Xianqiu would feel embarrassed and would often buy other things for him. After all, no matter how good a friend is, you can’t always take advantage of them.
But now that Ji Chenzhou had become her partner, she didn't feel embarrassed anymore. Instead, she thought that she could just buy whatever she wanted to eat and would not deliberately stock up on other supplies.
Looking at Ji Chenzhou cooking in the kitchen, He Xianqiu felt that his life was good now.
Although there is no longer the convenience of the 21st century and no various entertainments, the atmosphere of everyday life at this time makes He Xianqiu feel that there is nothing wrong with it.
A quiet life with the one you love can also be very happy.
She thought about it, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and then she continued reading.
After a while, Ji Chenzhou finished preparing the dishes. He took a basket and gave some to Mr. Zhong, then immediately hurried back.
Looking at He Xianqiu who was still concentrating on reading, Ji Chenzhou's eyes were gentle, and he said softly: "Qiuqiu, it's time to eat."
He Xianqiu heard the voice, looked up, and saw Ji Chenzhou smiling at her, so she smiled unconsciously too.
"knew."
As he said that, He Xianqiu took a stool and went to the table.
Ji Chenzhou made three dishes: soy sauce pork ribs, seafood stew, and lean meat and cabbage soup.
Because He Xianqiu doesn't like to eat fatty meat, the dishes that Ji Chenzhou brought back rarely contain fatty meat, and they are all especially to He Xianqiu's liking.
He himself is not picky about food. He eats whatever He Xianqiu likes.
For him now, just having food to eat is enough.
What’s rare is that Ji Chenzhou bought seafood today. Thinking that He Xianqiu particularly likes seafood, he immediately said it.
"Qiuqiu, eat quickly. These seafoods are brought here by seafood merchants from the seaside."
Their city is not close to the sea, so seafood is particularly rare. This seafood was obtained by Ji Chenzhou from the black market with great difficulty.
And the number is not huge, but it’s acceptable.
He Xianqiu looked at the fragrant and colorful seafood chowder and nodded.
"Got it. Zhou Zhou, you should eat quickly too. Don't just focus on me."
"Okay." Ji Chenzhou nodded with a smile.
Seeing Ji Chenzhou nod, He Xianqiu was satisfied.
He Xianqiu ate a piece of pork ribs first. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction and felt extremely lazy.
The spare ribs Ji Chenzhou stewed are very soft and tender, easy to remove from the bones, and taste so delicious that you can’t stop eating.
He Xianqiu also tried other dishes, they were all delicious, especially the seafood stew. It was the first time Ji Chenzhou made it, and he put a lot of chili in it, probably to cater to her taste. It really tasted spicy and fragrant.
However, thinking that Ji Chenzhou couldn't eat such spicy food, He Xianqiu glared at Ji Chenzhou.
"Zhou Zhou, you can't eat something that spicy. You should take care of yourself next time. If you eat something too spicy, your stomach will feel uncomfortable."
Ji Chenzhou looked at the concern in He Xianqiu's eyes, and his heart warmed. "Qiuqiu, I can eat spicy food better and better now. I can handle this level of spiciness."
He Xianqiu didn't quite believe it: "Really?"
Ji Chenzhou nodded: "Really, the spiciness is just right now."
As he spoke, Ji Chenzhou picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and started eating without changing his expression. Only then did He Xianqiu believe it.
What Ji Chenzhou said was indeed the truth. In the past, when he couldn't eat such spicy food, Ji Chenzhou would only add some chili peppers.
But now that he has gotten used to eating spicy food with He Xianqiu, Ji Chenzhou tried adding so much chili peppers.
Both of them were very satisfied with the meal, especially He Xianqiu. These dishes were her favorites.
So today she ate one and a half bowls of rice and felt full.
After the two of them finished eating and rested for a while, He Xianqiu started to clean up the dishes.
Ji Chenzhou saw it and stopped her: "Qiuqiu, I'll come over later, you sit down."
He Xianqiu shook his head: "You cook and I wash the dishes. You can't do everything."
Ji Chenzhou wanted to say something, but finally nodded, because He Xianqiu always kept his word.
Seeing that Ji Chenzhou didn't say anything else, He Xianqiu was satisfied.
Ji Chenzhou can't do all the work. Although it's just a small thing, it's also tiring.
Although Ji Chenzhou didn't wash the dishes, he still helped He Xianqiu clean up the table.
He Xianqiu didn't say anything this time and she quickly washed the dishes.
They both had nothing to do, so they started reading.
This has become a habit. He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou would both read for a while after finishing their meals.
When they have more time, He Xianqiu teaches Ji Chenzhou English, and Ji Chenzhou teaches He Xianqiu mathematics.
Compared to He Xianqiu, who was simply consolidating his studies for the college entrance examination a few years later, he gritted his teeth and persisted in studying.
Ji Chenzhou is much simpler. He really loves learning. In addition to reading textbooks, Ji Chenzhou also reads other course books.
Learning has never been boring for him, but rather enjoyable.
It was getting late, so the two of them put away their books and went back.
Although most people are simple and honest at this time, but at night, Ji Chenzhou is never at ease about He Xianqiu going back alone. Even if it is not dark yet, he cannot feel at ease.
So they all insisted on sending He Xianqiu back, and before they were together with He Xianqiu, this was also one of the few times they could spend time with He Xianqiu.
After closing the door, the two walked towards the path.
At this time, Ji Chenzhou was still holding He Xianqiu's hand like he did just now.
Even if He Xianqiu looked at him, he was able to remain calm.
Unlike just now, when He Xianqiu looked at him, his face turned red and he was extremely shy.
But at this moment he was pretending to be calm, as he was still very shy inside.
On the quiet path, the two of them walked hand in hand, slowly.
He Xianqiu looked at the wild flowers blooming on the roadside, which were so beautiful. He was moved and picked a flower and handed it to Ji Chenzhou.
"for you."
Ji Chenzhou was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and caught the purple flower.
He Xianqiu looked at him holding the flowers, her eyes sparkling, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
But it’s a bit of a pity that without a camera, I can’t capture this scene.
They soon arrived at where He Xianqiu lived. He Xianqiu stood at the door, waved to Ji Chenzhou, and then said with a smile.
"Zhou Zhou, see you tomorrow."
Ji Chenzhou held a purple flower in one hand, waved with the other, and laughed softly.
"See you tomorrow, Qiuqiu."
He Xianqiu returned to the room and sat on the bed. Thinking of Ji Chenzhou's shy look, she raised the corners of her mouth and smiled unconsciously.
Shy Ji Chenzhou is so cute, like a little puppy with wet eyes.
Unlike his previous serious face, now he has the sunshine of a teenager.
On the other side, after He Xianqiu entered the room, Ji Chenzhou did not leave immediately.
He quietly looked at the purple flower that He Xianqiu gave him and smiled foolishly.
These are the flowers Qiuqiu gave him. They look beautiful no matter how you look at them.
But he was also a little annoyed that he didn't give one to He Xianqiu at that time.
But I can send it to He Xianqiu tomorrow. Thinking of this, Ji Chenzhou smiled again.
He returned home with light steps and joy.
But after returning home, looking at the people in the main room, the smile on his face disappeared and he became expressionless.
As soon as he entered, everyone in the room stared at him.
Especially his second sister-in-law, who was always rude to him, was smiling at this moment.
"Old Third is back. I heard that you and He Zhiqing are dating."
Ji Chenzhou didn't say anything. His second sister-in-law definitely didn't mean well by saying this.
But Ji Ersao acted as if she didn't see his expression. After all, Ji Chenzhou never had any expression on his face, so she smiled and said something.
"You kid, you didn't even tell your family that you were dating, and I had to learn about it from other people."
After Ji Ersao said this, the others started immediately.
"Yes, you have a partner, and you heard about it from other people. You are not kind, third brother."
"I don't know what you're thinking. You didn't even tell your family that you have a partner."
And Old Mrs. Ji who was sitting in the middle spoke. Her face didn't look good and her voice was cold.
"What do you mean, Third Brother? You didn't even tell your family that you were dating, and we had to hear about it from other people. It's so embarrassing."
Ji Chenzhou raised his eyes and glanced at the sullen-faced Old Lady Ji, his voice was flat and extremely cold.
"You know now, but don't bother He Zhiqing..."
