Recalling the scene of playing by the river, Qin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and stared at Su Lu's abs.
Su Lu shuddered at Qin Xiaoxiao's gaze. Seeing his wife's lewd eyes constantly glancing at his lower abdomen, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself and then snuggled closer to Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Wife, do you want to touch me?"
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Su Lu, then reached out and touched him without any hesitation. "He's mine. I can touch him whenever I want. What, do I need your permission?"
Su Lu touched his nose. "How could I dare? You said it's yours, you can do whatever you want with it."
Nothing is bigger than his wife. Not just his abs, his whole body belongs to her, and he can't just touch her wherever he wants.
Qin Xiaoxiao touched Su Lu's smooth abs and smacked her lips, looking quite pleased. "You're so nice to touch, so smooth!"
Su Lu laughed upon hearing this, pulled Qin Xiaoxiao close, and gave her a big kiss, saying, "You little pervert."
...
An hour later, Qin Xiaoxiao glared angrily at Su Lu, her legs shaking, "Why am I always the one who suffers? My back is killing me!"
Supporting her lower back, Qin Xiaoxiao sat up, glared at Su Lu, pouted, and said in a soft, coquettish voice, "My legs are weak, how am I going to eat at my grandma's later?"
The problem is that if Su Yun, that defeated one, saw me like this, she would laugh at him to death!
Su Lu was quite pleased with Qin Xiaoxiao's coquettishness, and before he could resist, he coaxed her to do it again, which made Qin Xiaoxiao so angry that she turned her back on him and ignored him.
This meal was destined to be out of the question. Not to mention Qin Xiaoxiao and the Su sisters were embarrassed, even Su Lu and Qin Ye felt weak in the knees. Zou Jing was even more upset, with nowhere to vent his frustration, so he could only glare at the heartless Su Yu with a bitter face.
When evening came, Qin Xiaoxiao had slept enough and looked at Su Lu, who was busy beside her, with her big, sleepy eyes. "Honey, what are we having for dinner tonight? Oh, right, my fish."
After spending half a day catching fish and getting soaked, Qin Xiaoxiao realized she had lost out big time. She had forgotten about the fish by the river and was then given a beating when she got home.
Su Lu smiled, put the spoon aside, lifted the pot lid, and raised an eyebrow at Qin Xiaoxiao, "Smell it, doesn't it smell good?"
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, "Fish soup?"
He threw off the quilt, ran off the kang (a heated brick bed) naked, went up to Su Lu and gave him a kiss, then squatted on the ground and clung to the pot.
"I want fish soup, is it ready yet?"
Helpless, Su Lu first picked up Qin Xiaoxiao, who was squatting on the ground, and put her on the kang (a heated brick bed), and then helped her put all her clothes on.
"It'll be ready soon, don't rush. Oh, by the way, I just went to the old house and told Grandpa and Grandma that we'd be eating at home tonight. They just made some new tofu at the other old house, so I brought back two pieces. I'll mix one piece with water and eat it later, and I'll use the other piece to stew fish."
After patting Qin Xiaoxiao's head and stealing a kiss on her cheek, Su Lu turned around, ladled out the fish soup and placed it on the table. He then took out tofu from the kitchen cabinet, added scallions and cilantro, drizzled on soy sauce and sesame oil, and finally added a spoonful of salt.
"It tastes best mixed like this, it's so fragrant!"
Taking a deep sniff, Qin Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
She likes the smell of sesame oil.
The two quickly finished their meal, devouring all three fish. Qin Xiaoxiao patted her belly and sighed contentedly.
"I wouldn't trade this kind of life for eight hundred yuan. It's so comfortable."
Su Lu smiled as he cleared away the dishes and chopsticks, boiled water to wash them, and then boiled more water, preparing to put them in Qin Xiaoxiao's space later.
While waiting for the water to boil, Su Lu asked Qin Xiaoxiao to count out a thousand yuan. He planned to go to the car rental shop tomorrow to check out the job. If the price was right, he would take the job and then save up more money to buy Qin Xiaoxiao a house in the county town next year so they could live together.
The two of them now have enough money to buy a house, but Su Lu believes that the money he gave to Qin Xiaoxiao is hers, and can be considered as his betrothal gift. He still feels that this is not enough, so he plans to earn more money before buying a house.
He also wanted to take Qin Xiaoxiao to Cat Ear Mountain after autumn, preferably for a few days, and put more things in her space. Once she left, it would be difficult to come back, and she would have to spend money to buy mountain products. Rather than spending a lot of money to buy them from outside later, it would be better to stock up now.
After putting the money away, Su Lu thought for a moment, "Xiao Xiao, you don't have much cooked food left in your space, do you? Why don't we make more food and put it in your space while I'm not at work these few days? That way, when I'm at work and not home, you can take it out and eat it whenever you don't feel like it, and you won't have to go back to the Qin family's old house."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao scanned the space with her consciousness and nodded. "There isn't much left. Most of what's in the space is from extra food I made and put in. I made a lot of buns and dumplings and pastries in the winter, and we've almost finished them all."
She didn't sell any of the rice and flour she had hoarded in her previous life. It was enough for her to eat, but if she added Su Lu, it wouldn't be enough. Qin Xiaoxiao planned to buy more food and store it in her space when the restrictions were lifted. She was panicking because she didn't have any food on hand!
Having received confirmation, Su Lu didn't delay any longer. He had Qin Xiaoxiao take things out of his spatial storage, washed his hands, and began kneading dough.
Su Lu was a man after all, and he had a lot of strength. In no time, he had kneaded a basin of white flour and put it on the kang (a heated brick bed) to ferment. Qin Xiaoxiao then brought him another basin of flour.
Qin Xiaoxiao prepared various vegetables.
The vegetables in her private plot had already grown quite a bit, but Qin Xiaoxiao didn't touch them. She planned to clear out the space in her spatial storage and wait for the vegetables in the plot to grow well before selecting the best ones to store in her space and eating them slowly later.
Two hours later, Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu worked together to make a large pot of braised pork, a large pot of twice-cooked pork, and a large pot of braised beef. The beef was made by Qin Xiaoxiao in a pressure cooker in her space. The large pot of braised pork ribs was all frozen meat from Qin Xiaoxiao's space. There were still thousands of pounds left, enough for them to eat every day for several years. Su Lu also made fish soup from the fish they brought back from the Qin family today.
After glancing at the various meats and vegetables in the enamel basin the size of a washbasin, Qin Xiaoxiao licked her lower lip, swallowed hard, and put the basin into her spatial storage.
There were many kinds of green vegetables: persimmons, eggplants, potatoes, green beans, chives, garlic sprouts, cucumbers, zucchini, pumpkins, squash, romaine lettuce, spinach, bok choy—a lot of all the vegetables that had been stored in the space before were taken out.
Two hours passed after all the dishes were cooked and stored in the space.
Finally, Qin Xiaoxiao took out more than a hundred ears of corn. These were not the current varieties, but improved corn from later generations, Northeast sticky corn, which was very sweet.
In her past life, Qin Xiaoxiao owned more than a dozen grain stores, three of which sold sticky corn. Qin Xiaoxiao knew that this variety of corn was the sweetest, so she bought them all with a wave of her hand. Now it's time to take them out and eat them.
He rummaged through his storage space and found a brand new empty tin oil drum. He then stoked the kitchen stove until it blazed brightly, added a lot of coal, and started boiling water to cook corn. (End of Chapter)
