Chapter 93 Fried Dough Sticks, Rice Balls

Zhou Chongshan's voice was not loud when he spoke these words.

But to Jiang Rou's ears, it sounded deafening.

Jiang Rou had never thought that in Zhou Chongshan's understanding, things were so simple and clear.

Instead, she was overthinking it.

But think about it the other way around.

When Jiang Rou first arrived on the island, Zhou Chongshan saw that she was such a beautiful woman, but he still righteously sent her away.

His world has always been so simple, clear and neat.

The divisions are clear: comrades, friends, family, and others.

He treated the two unrelated children as his own flesh and blood.

He was willing to give away all his wealth to the daughter-in-law he had chosen.

When he saw Lin Xiuer this afternoon, he didn't even blink.

No matter how Lin Xiu'er shouted, Zhou Chongshan acted as if he had never known this person.

This is Zhou Chongshan’s clear-cut attitude.

now.

Jiang Rou felt as if she had taken a reassurance pill.

She took a deep breath and felt relieved instantly.

"Chongshan, I understand. I think too much! Those things and those people have nothing to do with me anymore. You, Xiaochuan, Xiaohua and I are the real family."

Jiang Rou's fingers, which were held by Zhou Chongshan, gently stroked the palm of Zhou Chongshan's hand.

The man's palms were rough, with old scars and wounds, but they were hot.

A gentle and sweet smile appeared on Jiang Rou's face.

Zhou Chongshan stared at her with his dark eyes, his gaze unconsciously becoming fiery.

The fingers that were originally just caressing each other lightly, unknowingly, became intertwined and tightly entangled.

Zhou Chongshan leaned over slowly.

The broad shoulders blocked the light from the roof, and Jiang Rou's eyes were trapped in a dim shadow.

What she saw before her was Zhou Chongshan's magnified facial features and a passionate, deep kiss.

Her lips were heavily occupied.

Every breath he took was filled with Zhou Chongshan's aura.

Jiang Rou's waist softened and she fell onto the bed behind her.

Late night kiss.

This went on for a long, long time...

…

The second day.

The sky is clear and the air is fresh.

It's a good day to go out.

Jiang Rou has been full of energy since she got up early, and is completely different from yesterday afternoon.

She looks a bit like a fairy bathed in yang energy.

Even when she was urging Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohai to get up and get dressed, she seemed particularly energetic.

Zhou Chongshan and Zhou Xiaochuan were washing their faces and rinsing their mouths.

Jiang Rou put clothes and pants on Zhou Xiaohua and gently patted the little girl's chubby butt with the palm of her hand.

"Get dressed and go wash your face. We're going out for breakfast."

Jiang Rou wanted to have breakfast, but she had been thinking about it for a long time.

Because what she wanted to eat was fried dough sticks and rice.

粢饭 is rice steamed without glutinous rice, which is relatively easy to make.

Youtiao is a kind of fried food that looks simple but actually requires a lot of skills from the chef.

Sometimes, if the dough is not prepared properly, the fried dough sticks will not expand smoothly even if they are placed in the oil pan.

Even with Jiang Rou's skills, there are times when she makes mistakes.

So now that I have finally made it into the city, of course I have to give it a try.

After leaving the guesthouse, the family of four went to the breakfast cafeteria early.

There were not only the rice and fried dough sticks that Jiang Rou wanted to eat, but also mixed grain porridge and tofu pudding.

The local tofu pudding is salty in taste. A little soy sauce and pickled mustard are added to the tofu. It is best paired with fried dough sticks and rice.

There were a lot of people in the breakfast cafeteria and the steam was rising.

Zhou Chongshan asked Jiang Rou and the two children to sit in their seats while he went to buy breakfast.

The hot food, placed on the small wooden table, exudes an enticing aroma.

Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua stared at the breakfast for a few seconds and swallowed hard.

Finally, his dark eyes turned to Jiang Rou.

In those clear and bright eyes, there is yearning and confusion.

For two children from the countryside, they only know steamed buns, dumplings, and wow buns. Their most recent introduction is qingtuan. As for fried dough sticks, rice cakes, and tofu pudding, they have never appeared in their lives before.

Jiang Rou picked up a fried dough stick rice ball. The rice ball was still a little hot as it had just come out of the pot.

She held it in her palm and squeezed it gently.

Press the round fried dough stick rice balls a little more firmly.

Then put it into the hands of the two children.

"This is glutinous rice with fried dough sticks inside. It's a rice ball. Just hold it in your hands and eat it. Don't be too cautious. Relax a little and eat it with big mouthfuls."

Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua followed Jiang Rou's instructions, held the rice balls in their hands, opened their mouths, and took a big bite.

The rice balls are firm yet soft, with a very special texture.

The fried dough stick sandwiched in the middle of the rice ball is crispy and you can hear the crackling sound when you bite it.

The combination of soft rice and crispy fried dough sticks has a rich taste.

It seems salty, but also sweet.

Anyway, it tastes good!

As for tofu pudding, it is even simpler. Just use a small spoon to put it directly into your mouth.

The tofu pudding is soft, tender and white, and goes smoothly in your mouth.

With a swish.

It went into the throat.

Jiang Rou and her two children all looked very satisfied after the meal.

It has been a long time since Jiang Rou had such a lively and delicious breakfast.

The only one who is not used to it.

Maybe it's only Zhou Chongshan...

He was used to the rough food in the army, so he didn't like this kind of delicate food that much.

He only ate a few mouthfuls of the tofu pudding and then shared it among his two children’s bowls.

Jiang Rou noticed this and asked softly.

"Chongshan, don't you like it?"

“I’m a little bit uncomfortable with it.”

Zhou Chongshan whispered.

Jiang Rou immediately felt her pocket and took out a big steamed bun.

Her smile was charming, but also a little bit proud.

Eyes twinkling.

"I knew you wouldn't be used to it, so I secretly bought you a big steamed bun. You should be very full if you eat the big steamed bun."

Zhou Chongshan took the big steamed bun from Jiang Rou's hand. It was still hot.

He was a little surprised, "You've thought of this a long time ago?"

"Yeah, of course. I'm your wife, how could I not know what you like to eat?"

Jiang Rou had rice cake in her mouth and her words were a little unclear, but one could still hear clearly what she said.

The already soft voice had a touch of silent intimacy.

…

After having breakfast, the four of them went straight to the department store.

They had to catch the boat back in the afternoon, so they didn't have much time left.

We must seize the time.

Jiang Rou still hasn't bought a lot of things.
