Chapter 118 Finally, we got to eat meat! So touching!
While the people of Qinjiagou were busy with the autumn harvest, Qin Xiaoxiao was practically idle. She managed to get two baskets of pig feed every day, but that was only because she had fought for it. Otherwise, Old Lady Qin wouldn't let her collect even one basket and would leave it all to Qin Ye.
Qin Xiaoxiao felt increasingly guilty towards Qin Ye. On October 1st, she received her allowance and quickly bought Qin Ye a set of clothes as compensation. Even so, she was still scolded by Qin's grandmother when she returned home, who said she was wasting money.
Of course, after scolding her, he smiled and praised her profusely.
"My little one is so sensible and knows how to care for his older brother. If you ask around the village, you won't find anyone who can compare to my little one."
Qin Ye, your sister is so good to you, you must take good care of her from now on, and never let her be bullied.
While praising someone, Grandma Qin didn't forget to brainwash her eldest grandson, telling him to take good care of his younger sister in the future.
Qin Ye nodded in agreement.
"Grandma, don't worry. Xiaoxiao is my sister. As her older brother, it's only natural that I should take good care of her."
Qin Xiaoxiao covered her face.
She traded a set of clothes for a promise; her older brother lost a fortune.
The autumn harvest was busy for another ten days before it came to an end. There wasn't much work left, and people no longer needed to rush to store the grain in the warehouse before the heavy rain. They weren't in such a hurry anymore, and the grain would be distributed in a few days. People's moods improved as a result.
Qin Xiaoxiao also finally finished her mourning period on this day.
The night before, Qin Xiaoxiao had soaked the best rice and cut a piece of chicken, preparing to make chicken porridge for breakfast the next day.
Qin Xiaoxiao doesn't dare to eat pork yet, so she plans to start with chicken, without missing a single day, and in two more days she can have pork porridge.
The next morning, Qin Xiaoxiao started cooking the porridge, washed her face, and squatted in front of the stove to watch over it. The aroma in the air made her mouth water.
Once the porridge was cooked, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to bring it into the room. She stirred it with a spoon to cool it down quickly, and as soon as it was edible, she took a bite.
The moment Qin Xiaoxiao took her first bite of the meat porridge, she cried tears of happiness.
Waaaaah... It's been so tough! I've been in this world for over three months, and I can finally eat meat again. It's even harder than surviving the apocalypse in my previous life.
Although her past life was tough, she had a spatial ability. She would often go into her spatial ability in the middle of the night to prepare delicious food, and then take it out to eat secretly when the night was quiet.
We live in a peaceful society now, but her life is worse than in the apocalypse. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it.
Half an hour had passed by the time Qin Xiaoxiao finished her meat porridge, and the work bell had rung twice. Qin Xiaoxiao threw the empty bowl into her spatial storage, picked up her small handbag, and hurried to the assembly point.
The grain harvest was finished a few days ago, and these past two days they've been harvesting autumn vegetables. The fruit trees on the back hill will be harvested after the autumn vegetables are finished. After she comes back today, she still has to harvest the vegetables from her private plot. In a couple of days, she'll go to town to buy two larger water vats to pickle sauerkraut.
She should buy several smaller jars, so she can make pickles, soybean paste, and salted vegetables. She'll rely on these things to get by in the winter.
Oh, and you can also dry some vegetables; they'll be just as delicious after soaking them in winter.
Also, keep some dried beans on hand; they're incredibly delicious with braised pork and wide rice noodles in winter.
Don't forget about mountain produce either. You can collect some when gathering pig feed, store it in your space first, and add it back in when you find an opportunity to bring it out of the open.
As Qin Xiaoxiao walked, lost in thought, she was about to reach the Qin family home after just one more turn when she was suddenly bumped by someone who appeared from around the corner, leaving her seeing stars.
"Who is it? Are you blind? Running into people in broad daylight, are you blind?"
Before Qin Xiaoxiao could even get angry, the person opposite her started accusing her first and began to hurl insults.
Qin Xiaoxiao covered her forehead with her hand and looked up. Her stunningly beautiful face, as radiant as a peach blossom, was bathed in sunlight and tinged with a golden hue, exuding elegance and purity.
Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Holy crap!
I met a fairy early in the morning!
Wait a minute, why does this fairy look so familiar?
Su Lu rolled her eyes at Qin Xiaoxiao, and couldn't help but laugh when she saw Qin Xiaoxiao's infatuated look.
"If I keep looking at it, I'll be drooling all over the place."
Qin Xiaoxiao subconsciously wiped her mouth, but didn't touch anything.
Qin Xiaoxiao glared at Su Lu angrily, "No matter how good-looking you are, it's useless; you can't eat food."
What fairy? This is a demon king! Nothing good ever comes of running into him.
Su Lu wasn't angry. He raised his hand and tapped Qin Xiaoxiao's forehead. "Little girl, you're so young, but you have quite the temper. You bumped into me and you think you're in the right?"
Qin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and looked Su Lu up and down. "I was wondering why you've never looked so glamorous before. You're a bit... different today!"
Tell me, what could possibly make you spread your tail feathers like a peacock?
Are you going to see your sweetheart?
"Someone like you actually wants to date you?"
Su Lu glared at Qin Xiaoxiao, "What nonsense are you talking about? What peacock spreading its tail feathers? I do that all the time, okay?"
Besides, I don't have anyone I like. You said I'm pretty, but with my looks, who could possibly be good enough for me?
Qin Xiaoxiao scoffed, "Narcissist! Don't you even know your own reputation? It's spread all over Hu County. What decent girl would want to be interested in you?"
Su Lu gritted his teeth in anger, "Heh, you're not much better than me either. Your reputation isn't much better than mine. We're evenly matched, so neither of us should criticize the other."
How dare she look down on him? She can't even do farm work properly. If it weren't for Brother Qin Ye's help, would she still be alive today?
Qin Xiaoxiao was unconvinced and clenched her little fist, brandishing it at Su Lu. "Who are you calling has a bad reputation? Do you believe I'll beat you up?"
Su Lu's face darkened as well. "Beat me up? You? Heh, with your tiny frame like a bean sprout, I could crush you with just one finger."
"Alright, give it a try. I want to see if you have the ability."
"Let's give it a try, who's afraid of who?"
"Come on, let me see what you're capable of."
"You stay right there and watch how I deal with you."
"Pah! You shameless bastard, bullying a woman."
"A lesbian? You? Ha, don't joke around. How do you look like a woman?"
"Su Lu, open your dog eyes and take a good look at me. Where am I not like a woman?"
"Heh, you're not good-looking and have a bad memory. You just called me a bean sprout, and you've already forgotten?"
"Su Lu, today I will act on behalf of Heaven and get rid of you, you monster."
Qin Xiaoxiao was furious and charged at Su Lu with her little fists.
He had just taken a step and hadn't even reached Su Lu when he heard someone shout from not far around the corner.
"Xiaoxiao, have you arrived? Why aren't you coming in?"
Qin Xiaoxiao was startled and almost tripped on the spot. She immediately put away her fist and leaned out half of her body to look around the corner.
Upon seeing Qin Ye, Qin Xiaoxiao smiled brightly and replied, "Brother, it's me."
Upon seeing that it was indeed Qin Xiaoxiao, Qin Ye quickly took two steps and walked up to the two of them, looking at Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu with a puzzled expression.
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and put her hands behind her back, looking as obedient as a harmless little white rabbit. Su Lu leaned against the wall, looking so weak that he seemed like he could be blown away by the wind at any moment.
