Su Qingci didn't stand on ceremony and immediately peeled off the skin and started munching on it.
These jicama are about the size of a child's fist, and can be eaten in just two or three bites. They're crisp, sweet, and juicy.
Before long, three or four sweet potatoes were gone.
Su Qingci was still a little unsatisfied when she looked up and saw Song Jingzhou looking at her with a half-smile.
Her little face flushed red, and holding up the tiny root in her hand, she started to act up.
"These sweet potatoes are so small, they haven't even grown up yet and you've already dug them up."
"It's too cruel, it's a real sin."
"Couldn't you have waited until it grew bigger before digging it up? You're just robbing it of its potatoes like this, don't you feel any remorse?"
Song Jingzhou almost laughed out of anger at Su Qingci.
He immediately squatted down in front of her, put his hand on her shoulder, and made her look into his eyes.
"Come here, little sister, look into my eyes."
"Look, what you can see in my eyes."
"Let go! What are you looking at? What else is in your eyes besides eye boogers?"
“There really is one. Take a closer look.” Song Jingzhou said with a serious expression.
"See? There's still you in my eyes."
“Look closely, and you will be reflected in my eyes.”
"His whole body radiated rays of Buddhist light, and he was draped in a sacred robe."
“He was sitting at the foot of the Great Thunder Temple on Mount Ling in the Western Paradise, his face full of compassion.”
"You are no longer yourself, you are a Bodhisattva!"
Su Qingci's heart, which had just started to race, was instantly doused with cold water.
Song Jingzhou continued to mock him with a look of disgust.
"You say your cultivation level is so high, why are you still coming to our Gaotang brigade to dry your grain?"
"You should find a cave to cultivate immortality and meditate; who knows, you might be able to save all living beings tomorrow."
"That's sinful and cruel of you. Have you forgotten how much you enjoyed your meal just now?"
"Why don't you just say you think it's too small and you haven't had enough to eat?"
"You talk as if you're so great, and I'm so cruel!"
Su Qingci's face turned pale and then red as she was scolded.
He immediately took a deep breath, gathered his energy in his dantian, and roared to the sky.
"Captain, Song Jingzhou is practicing superstition!"
Song Jingzhou was so frightened that he staggered and quickly covered Su Qingci's mouth.
"You heartless bastard, you can't take a joke."
"Have you no shame? You shameless little brat."
"Keep yelling, keep yelling, are you trying to kill me?"
"Alright, alright, grandma, I was wrong, okay? I was cruel, I'm guilty..."
......
In the fields, while everyone was working enthusiastically, they also didn't forget to gossip.
Many people already know that the Xiao family father and son were chased away yesterday when they went to find Xiao Yuehua.
While mocking the Xiao family father and son, their attention also turned to Song Jingzhou and Liu Siqing.
Keep in mind that neither of these two people are married yet.
Those with daughters at home couldn't help but have some thoughts, while those without daughters were also wondering if there were any suitable candidates in their maternal family.
"Especially that young Song, not only is he good-looking, but he also doesn't have any in-laws to rely on."
"Once you marry into the family, you can be the head of the household."
"He probably made some money during those three years away, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to afford a bicycle."
"It's a pity, she's just not good at talking, she can choke you with her words."
"Hmph, he has high standards. Last time, Aunt Liang and Zhao Di both tried to get his opinion."
"Their requirements are listed out; they're practically angels."
"She needs to be capable, good-looking, educated, and..."
"That made Aunt Liang so angry that her face turned black on the spot."
"But it's understandable that they have high standards; they have the means to achieve that."
"It's because he didn't go to the fields with us, otherwise you'd see all the young wives and girls in the fields fawning over him."
"That's not necessarily true. He even hits women."
“You forgot, last time Guiying’s family brought him peaches, he threw himself and the peaches into the river.”
"They even used a fishing rod to hold him down so he wouldn't come up, saying that people wanted to ruin his reputation."
"Guiying's second daughter was so ashamed that she almost sank to the bottom and couldn't get up."
"In my opinion, someone with an unstable temperament is no good. Siqing from the captain's family is much better than him."
“Manhua and the brigade leader are both easy to get along with. Look at their two wives before them, they haven’t been able to work in the fields since they got pregnant.”
"After giving birth, I stayed home to take care of the baby for the first few months."
"These days, how many wives are so lucky?"
"Moreover, the Four Cleanups also included legitimate work."
"If you want to marry into the family, you'll skip over the first two daughters-in-law."
"If I give birth to a son, then this position will be secure."
"That's equivalent to having half a foot in the city."
Tang Liping, standing beside her, glanced at her with envy.
"If you marry into another family, then the job will belong to that family."
“People like Feng Zhiqing are truly lucky.”
"Now that Sister Yuehua has a job, isn't she considered part of the man's family?"
"It has absolutely nothing to do with the Xiao family."
"Besides, women always have to go through the stages of pregnancy, childbirth, raising children, and breastfeeding."
"Wouldn't the job then belong to the man?"
The plump aunt next to her replied casually, "Yes, getting married and taking a wedding are very different. One is bringing someone in, and the other is sending them out."
"Once they're sent away, they become someone else's people."
"Only those you marry into the family are truly your own."
"Hey, I said Yuehua was a good choice back then, she's capable and strong."
"Yeah, with that round and big butt, she's sure to have a bunch of sons."
"What a pity, such a good piece of meat was taken away by the educated youth from outside."
