Chapter 148: Play dumb, treat me
Jiang Xingyan was stunned. The stinging pain on his lips showed that this was all real. The little girl liked to bite people when she was drunk.
Fortunately, I was drinking with myself today. If we were outside, Jiang Xingyan’s face would suddenly turn dark.
Looking down at the motionless little person with eyes closed in his arms, he sighed helplessly and shook him softly, "Sang Ning, wake up."
"Um..." Chu Sangning whimpered, "I want to sleep, don't shout."
Jiang Xingyan, who was forbidden to make a sound, sat there blankly, holding the little girl in his arms. With the soft light, Jiang Xingyan could clearly see the blush on Chu Sangning's face. After looking at her for a long time, he gave her a kiss and whispered, "I owe you something for now."
The girl who was drinking and making a fuss got drunk. Jiang Xingyan carried her to the bed, took off her shoes and wiped her hands. The girl liked to be clean, and she would definitely be unhappy if she saw herself covered in dirt tomorrow.
After getting drunk, Jiang Xingyan was worried about her being alone, so he took the extra quilt and went outside to stay overnight. When Chu Sangning got up the next day, he saw the quilt folded into a tofu block outside and suddenly remembered something.
He hurriedly covered his face and went back to the room. He fell directly on the bed and muffled his voice: "Ahhhhh, this is so embarrassing. So embarrassing."
Chu Sangning remembered everything that happened yesterday. She thought that she had bitten Jiang Xingyan's lips and touched his chin after getting drunk. Chu Sangning felt her face getting hot when she thought of this.
She didn't react until Jiang Xingyan came back with the meal. The moment she saw him, her eyes were fixed on Jiang Xingyan's mouth, which was covered with a layer of broken skin and some purple marks.
Did she bite so hard yesterday? Chu Sangning lowered her head and walked forward reluctantly, pulling Jiang Xingyan's sleeve, "You...you yesterday..."
Jiang Xingyan pretended to be stupid and asked in a puzzled manner: "What happened yesterday?"
"Yesterday..." Chu Sangning was too embarrassed to say it out loud. He pointed at Jiang Xingyan's lips and asked tremblingly, "You didn't go to training for the whole morning in this state, did you?"
"yes."
Hearing an answer he didn't want to hear, Chu Sangning wailed, and his head fell directly on Jiang Xingyan's shoulder, "What should I do, Jiang Xingyan."
"What are you worried about? What if no one saw it?" Knowing that the little girl was shy, Jiang Xingyan hugged her and comforted her.
"How is that possible? It would be strange if no one could see such a big mark."
Chu Sangning felt that it was still her fault. Next time, no, there would not be a next time, she would never drink again.
Jiang Xingyan suddenly laughed when he heard her idea, and said mysteriously: "That's not necessarily true."
After finishing the meal in a hurry, Chu Sangning thought of the spinach seedlings he had planted, and happily ran out with Jiang Xingyan, "Jiang Xingyan, go and check on the spinach."
"Slow down, it's cold outside, put on an extra coat."
There was a stove in the house prepared by Jiang Xingyan. When it was cold, Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan would sit around the stove to warm themselves, and sometimes they would also roast sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Because the temperature was high enough, Chu Sangning only needed to wear a thick sweater at home. If she went out, she would not be able to withstand the cold wind. Jiang Xingyan, like a nagging father, reminded Chu Sangning to put on more clothes.
The growth cycle of spinach seedlings is one month. Today is the twenty-fifth day. Chu Sangning squatted beside the vegetable field, looking at the green and thriving spinach, and smiled for the first time today.
"Jiang Xingyan, look, the spinach has really grown."
Chu Sangning jumped up and down happily. Because she was too excited, her voice could be heard clearly throughout the whole building. In an instant, all the women in the house opened the windows and looked downstairs.
When they learned that the spinach seedlings had grown, they were also very excited. They rushed downstairs one by one and looked at Chu Sangning with joy. A woman wiped her tears excitedly and walked forward to hold Chu Sangning's hand.
"Chu Zhiqing, can you be more patient with me? My child doesn't want to eat every day."
Once one person opens his mouth, the rest will feel comfortable opening theirs as well.
"Chu Zhiqing, can you give me some too? My child is only four years old and he refuses to eat cabbage."
"My family is the same. Now they cry when they hear the word 'bai cai'. I can't do anything about it."
Chu Sangning was squeezed in the middle by them, with everyone arguing and talking to her, which made her feel overwhelmed. If everyone wanted some, there wouldn't be enough food in the vegetable garden to go around.
It would be inappropriate to give only a few, and the rest should have their own opinions.
Jiang Xingyan, as Chu Sangning's partner, was also affected. The women were sharp-tongued and immediately decided that it was Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan who were wrong if they didn't give him the spinach.
"I don't want your things for nothing. I am willing to give you something in exchange."
Just when Chu Sangning was about to refuse, He Shulan came back from outside and saw everyone gathered together. She asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"
Several women told He Shulan everything at once. He Shulan glanced at her niece secretly and naturally understood her dilemma.
After thinking for a while, he laughed heartily, "These spinach are not for Sang Ning to eat alone, but for the troops. It may be impossible for everyone to change the vegetables."
"You all know that things are very tight in the army. You men are all soldiers, so you should have mentioned that the first batch of spinach should be given to the army so that the young and old in the army can eat well."
He Shulan's two sentences helped Chu Sangning get out of the predicament. This way, she didn't offend anyone and made them feel comfortable. Although they couldn't eat these things themselves, if they were sent to the army, their men would be able to have a taste of them.
After learning that the spinach was to be delivered to the troops, everyone exchanged a few pleasantries and went upstairs. After everyone left, Chu Sangning asked, "Aunt, when did you say that?"
How much spinach is in this dish? There are so many people in the army, one bite won’t be enough for each person, right?
"Silly girl, tomorrow you can pick some to take home and send the rest to the troops. Otherwise, there will be so many people in the family building, who will you give the food to and who won't?"
He Shulan hit the nail on the head. After all, we will be living here for a long time, so it is important to build good relationships with everyone in the building.
She came up with an idea. "After the spinach is delivered to the troops in two days, you can bring some of the spinach to my house and I'll treat everyone to a meal."
Chu Sangning also understood her aunt's intention and shook her head. "I can't let you get in trouble. Come to my place. I have nothing to do at home."
He Shulan was still hesitating, and Chu Sangning approached her and said coquettishly, "Aunt, my skills are almost as good as yours, so don't worry."
Since they were going to treat everyone, they had to let everyone know. He Shulan started by telling everyone from house to house, "Sang Ning has grown some vegetables, so I asked her to keep some. Don't cook tomorrow night, let's go to Sang Ning's house for dinner."
