For dinner, we had fish stew with tofu and fried meatballs made by Qin Xiaoxiao. Grandma Qin praised Qin Xiaoxiao's fried meatballs, but then told Qin Xiaoxiao not to make them next time because they were too oily.
Qin Xiaoxiao was a little confused, "Of course you have to fry meatballs in oil, otherwise how can they taste good?"
Grandma Qin smiled, "Tomorrow, Grandma will make you meatballs. I guarantee you'll want more after you eat them."
Seeing Grandma Qin's smug smile, Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly looked forward to the meatballs Grandma Qin would make tomorrow.
After dinner, Su Lu and Qin Xiaoxiao left, discussing things with Qin Feng before they left.
"Sir, I have to go to work tomorrow. The team only allows me one day off. This is only because I just started. Next time, if it's a nearby place, I won't even get a day off."
You know Xiaoxiao isn't in good health; she gets dizzy and collapses easily. When you assign her work, please don't give her any heavy tasks. We don't rely on work points for food; we just need to earn enough so the villagers won't gossip.
Qin Feng, Qin Aiguo, and Qin Ye, three generations of their family, all looked up at Qin Xiaoxiao at the same time.
He's as strong as a calf, how can you say he's not healthy?
I must say, it's recovered a bit over the past year, and its complexion is much better than when it first arrived.
Hmm, it seems that my health wasn't good before, but now that I'm eating and drinking well and not doing heavy work, my health has improved a bit.
Qin Feng nodded. "I understand. You don't need to worry about this. I'll take care of it."
Seeing Qin Feng nod, Su Lu felt relieved, took Qin Xiaoxiao's hand, and left.
As soon as the two left, Qin Yue sidled up to Su Yun and complained.
"My sister is in good health now, so why does it sound like she's about to die when my brother-in-law talks about her?"
Sister-in-law, you have no idea, just now, before my sister even entered the gate, I tried to hug her, but my brother-in-law pushed me aside, and I almost tripped and fell.
He didn't even glance at me, and helped my sister inside.
The way she was so careful was almost unbearable to watch; anyone who didn't know better would think my sister was pregnant.
Su Yun opened her mouth, looking at Qin Yue with a complicated expression.
"Yue, we're still kids. Don't say whatever comes to mind in the future, it's not good for you if others hear it."
How do you, a ten-year-old, know what "having" means? How do you know everything?
Qin Yue pouted, "I know, but I'm just telling you, you're not an outsider."
Thank you, but please treat me like an outsider!
Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu returned home and took a bath together. The kang (heated brick bed) had been turned off before they left, so it was still a bit warm to sleep on. Qin Xiaoxiao put an extra quilt on the kang, and then a cool mat on top of that. It was soft and cool to lie on.
Su Lu has a built-in heating device, and he also likes to hold her while sleeping. After a while, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it anymore. She pushed him away, sat up on the kang, thought for a moment, and took out an ice cream from her space.
"Do you want some? It's so hot. It's only mid-July. How hot will it be in August?"
Su Lu was also hot, but he wanted to hug his wife even more.
She sat up, took the ice cream from Qin Xiaoxiao's hand, and took a bite. "It's so milky and delicious, even better than the big milk ice cream sold in the city."
Qin Xiaoxiao took out another ice cream from her spatial storage and took a big bite. "Are you kidding me? Do you know how much this ice cream costs? Twenty yuan a stick."
Su Lu had just taken a bite when he heard the price and immediately stopped moving, staring wide-eyed at Qin Xiaoxiao in disbelief.
Qin Xiaoxiao laughed and rolled around on the kang (a heated brick bed), "Eat it quickly, it's not cold in your mouth."
Su Lu obediently swallowed the ice cream quickly. He almost choked because he was in such a hurry, but luckily it was ice cream and melted in his mouth in no time. He patted his chest a few times and swallowed it.
Su Lu let out a long breath and looked at the anxious Qin Xiaoxiao beside him.
"How are you? Are you okay?"
Qin Xiaoxiao put the two of their ice creams aside and patted Su Lu's back.
Su Lu shook her head, "It's alright, don't worry, but..."
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at him with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?"
Su Lu took a deep breath and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao seriously.
"Honey, how did you know this ice cream costs twenty yuan a stick? I checked, and the price wasn't written on the packaging, but... but the production date is fifty years from now."
Su Lu's voice grew softer as he spoke, but he didn't look away from Qin Xiaoxiao.
Qin Xiaoxiao paused, a complex expression on her face.
The mistake was eventually exposed.
He still discovered the most secret thing she wanted to hide in her heart.
She knew this day would come sooner or later.
The two lived together, and she frequently used the space. The key point was that everything in the space was collected by her during the apocalypse. Over time, he could easily find anomalies in it, such as the production dates of the goods.
Sigh, since he's found out, she might as well tell him. At worst... at worst, if he betrays her later, she'll just kill him.
Qin Xiaoxiao lowered her head to hide the coldness in her eyes.
Su Lu never expected that just by glancing at the packaging and being curious about his wife's secret, and asking her a question, his wife would develop the desire to kill him.
However, it's not Qin Xiaoxiao's fault. Anyone else would probably have already taken action by now. To avoid dying without knowing why, it's always better to strike first, even if that person is your lover.
Qin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and kept telling herself that nothing had happened yet, and Su Lu might not betray her. If that day really came, it wouldn't be too late for her to kill him. At worst, she could hide in her spatial dimension and never come out again, so that no one could find her.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked into Su Lu's eyes with a solemn expression.
“Su Lu, I do have a secret I haven’t told you, because this matter is far more unbelievable than the space itself. If I tell you, I’m afraid you’ll be afraid of me.”
Su Lu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Qin Xiaoxiao say that she still had a secret. He lay down on the kang in a relaxed manner and looked into Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes and said, "Wife, I knew you had a secret when you talked about the space before. I didn't want to ask, but I saw it today and guessed some of it. Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether you tell me or not. What matters is that you are Qin Xiaoxiao and my wife."
Su Lu reached out and took Qin Xiaoxiao's hand, his expression gentle, his eyes revealing undisguised love.
Qin Xiaoxiao saw it, and at this moment she finally realized how deep Su Lu's love for her was.
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) next to Su Lu.
"I come from the future, a new era of dazzling stars and advanced technology."
For the next hour, Qin Xiaoxiao described to Su Lu what the future world would be like, and finally, she mentioned the apocalypse.
"An unknown virus invaded Earth, and all of humanity was infected. Those with better physical constitutions survived and remained normal, while some became superhumans."
These individuals with superpowers were like genetic mutations, gaining control over wind, fire, thunder, lightning, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, becoming the powerful figures of that special era and wielding significant influence.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't hide the apocalypse from Su Lu. Since she had already told him, she might as well tell him everything. From then on, there would be no more secrets between the two of them.
