Chapter 264 264 That's the taste!
Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu counted the money face to face, and in the end, Su Lu put all the money in his hand into Qin Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Wife, here is thirty-four yuan and eighty cents. There are no zeros. As for coupons, there are four jin of grain coupons and three jin of meat coupons. That's all."
Qin Xiaoxiao's smile never faded. "I have 28.6 yuan in my hand, no tickets, but I have a total of 63.4 yuan. My goodness, this wedding wasn't a waste of money, I have so much money!"
Honey, let's have another one sometime!
Qin Xiaoxiao winked and acted cute at Su Lu, making Su Lu completely smitten.
With a wave of his hand, he swept the money box that was in the way on the kang (a heated brick bed) to the ground, then picked up Qin Xiaoxiao and rolled into the quilt.
After a night of singing, Qin Xiaoxiao woke up late the next day, and it was already past nine in the morning when she opened her eyes again.
When Qin Xiaoxiao woke up, Su Lu wasn't in the room. Qin Xiaoxiao didn't mind. She stretched, looked around, opened the box next to her pillow, and found a stack of money inside. Qin Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and waved her hand to put it into her spatial storage.
She moved around a bit, and apart from a slightly sore waist, she was fine. However, her arms were covered in red marks, and Qin Xiaoxiao blushed for once before being captivated by the aroma outside.
Su Lu carried a bowl of beef noodles into the room. Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao was awake, he grabbed the kang table, put the bowl of noodles on it, and then pulled Qin Xiaoxiao onto his lap, lovingly touching her all over.
"How are you? Are you alright?"
He kissed Qin Xiaoxiao's cheek and then her forehead. Feeling that Qin Xiaoxiao's body temperature was normal, Su Lu was relieved.
Qin Xiaoxiao waved her hand, having no time to pay attention to Su Lu, and sat on his lap to wolf down her food.
Su Lu's loving gaze remained fixed on Qin Xiaoxiao, unwilling to look away even for a moment. He found it incredibly adorable even when Qin Xiaoxiao was eating noodles with gusto.
After finishing a bowl of beef noodles, Qin Xiaoxiao patted her stomach and asked, "Where did you get the beef?"
Su Lu smiled and reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind Qin Xiaoxiao's ear. "I got up in the middle of the night to go to the black market in the county town to get it. Two cows died in a village. One was sent to a grocery store and the other to the black market. I happened to run into them and bought a few pounds of them."
Oh, by the way, I took thirty yuan from the money box and used it all to buy meat.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't count the money when she collected it; she only glanced at it. If Su Lu hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known.
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "I understand. We have money, we don't need this little bit. Beef is rare, so it's better to buy more when we come across it."
Su Lu smiled and placed Qin Xiaoxiao on the kang (a heated brick bed). He then got off the bed, took out a large piece of beef from the kitchen cabinet, and gestured for Qin Xiaoxiao to put it into her spatial storage.
With a wave of his hand, Su Lu put the beef into his spatial storage and then went outside to bring Qin Xiaoxiao some hot water.
After washing her face, Qin Xiaoxiao had prepared her toothbrush and toothpaste. She glanced at Su Lu with satisfaction and gave him a sweet kiss.
After washing up, Su Lu asked Qin Xiaoxiao to bring out two catties of beef, then picked her up and went out the door, heading straight for the Qin family.
"Put me down, aren't you afraid of being seen?"
Qin Xiaoxiao patted Su Lu's chest and looked around furtively like a thief, afraid of running into the villagers.
Su Lu also looked around, his movements large, but he held Qin Xiaoxiao firmly in his arms.
"I was just worried you weren't feeling well. It's alright, I'll be careful. You keep an eye on what's behind you, and let me know if you see anyone."
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't do anything about Su Lu, and besides, she wasn't feeling well, so she just let him be.
The two sneaked to the Qin family's gate. Su Lu put Qin Xiaoxiao down on the ground, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
They exchanged a glance, and Qin Xiaoxiao knocked on the Qin family's door.
Qin Ye opened the door and, seeing that it was Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu, quickly let them in.
"Why are you only arriving now? You've already finished breakfast."
Su Lu handed the beef that Qin Xiaoxiao was carrying to Qin Ye and whispered, "I bought it at the black market a while ago. It's still fresh. I'll make dumplings for Grandpa and Grandma tonight."
Qin Ye was startled and quickly closed the door, pulling Su Lu into the kitchen.
"Go to the black market less often in the future. You are different now than before. You have a family now. You should think more about Xiaoxiao in everything you do. You can't let her live in fear."
Qin Ye glared at Su Lu, wanting to say a few more words, but then he remembered that his sister was already married to him, so he could only give her a good look from now on. Otherwise, what if this guy bullied his sister when they weren't around?
So Qin Ye suppressed his urge to say another word, snatched the beef from Su Lu's hand, and put it in the kitchen cabinet.
Su Lu smiled shamelessly, "I was just thinking of giving Grandpa and the others some nourishment. It's a rare opportunity; we don't see beef in our county even once a year, so we had to buy some now that we've come across it."
"Don't worry, brother. I'll go to the black market less often in the future. You're right, I need to think more about Xiaoxiao and not let her worry about me."
Qin Ye twitched the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile, "Alright, just be careful."
Su Lu stared at Qin Ye in shock.
His brother-in-law changed his ways and actually smiled at him.
Seeing Su Lu's expression, Qin Ye couldn't help but secretly rub his forehead.
It seems I'll have to treat him the same way as before, never giving him a kind look, otherwise...
Thinking of this, Qin Ye glared at Su Lu with a stern face, "Coming so late, aren't you afraid we'll worry?"
Su Lu suddenly felt relieved and visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
That's it, that's the taste!
Looking at Su Lu's forced smile, Qin Ye silently looked up at the sky.
Inside the main room, Grandma Qin hugged Qin Xiaoxiao tightly, showering her with affection. She then quietly asked if things had gone smoothly with Su Lu the previous night. After receiving a reassuring look from Qin Xiaoxiao, Grandma Qin felt relieved.
Ma Dahua also eavesdropped, and after hearing a satisfactory reply, she happily smiled along.
The Qin father and son, sitting on chairs on the ground, were smoking, but their minds were on Qin Xiaoxiao. Although they couldn't hear what the other two were saying, they could tell from their daughter-in-law's satisfied smile that their eldest granddaughter (niece) was doing well.
“He gave me all the money he earned before, and the money he received as gifts yesterday is also with me. This morning he made noodles for me, personally prepared water for me to wash my face, and even squeezed out the toothpaste and put it in my hand. Grandma, I feel like I didn’t marry the wrong person. What do you think?”
After listening to her eldest granddaughter's account, Grandma Qin smiled so much that two more wrinkles appeared on her face.
“My eldest granddaughter has good judgment. He did the right thing. My granddaughter is so good that she deserves his sacrifice.”
In her eyes, her granddaughter was perfect. It was Su Lu's good fortune to marry her eldest granddaughter. Perhaps the Su family had accumulated eight hundred years of good fortune and used it all up to Su Lu marrying his eldest granddaughter.
If his granddaughter gives birth to a big, healthy son, wouldn't the entire Su family treat her like royalty?
Oh, by the way, Su Lu and Su Jiasheng have separated; the family has even broken up.
That's alright. It's better if they become estranged. The eldest granddaughter will have a more carefree life from now on. She won't have her parents-in-law, annoying sister-in-law, or bothersome brothers-in-law. That's a much more relaxed life!
