At the dinner table, the two ate breakfast in silence. Li Hanting took his first bite and showed a slight surprise. The bun was soft, sweet and fragrant, which was incomparable to the buns in the cafeteria, which were hard and had no sweetness at all.
He couldn't help but glance at Su Jingjing and noticed that she ate very gracefully, unlike before when she wolfed down her food as if she hadn't eaten in decades.
At this moment, Li Hanting truly believed that Su Jingjing's cooking skills were indeed quite good. To be honest, he now looked forward to going home for meals every time it was time to eat.
The man ate six steamed buns in one go; soldiers really do have big appetites. Su Jingjing, in order to lose weight, only dared to eat one even though her throat was tight.
After morning training, Yan Yikuan went straight home. The training this morning was intense, and his stomach was growling with hunger. Generally speaking, to save money, most people eat at home, and only some bachelors go to the canteen.
"You're back?" He Zhaodi exclaimed in surprise as she poked her head out of the kitchen when she heard the door open.
"Hmm, what smells so good?"
Yan Yikuan took off his military cap and hung it behind the door. He walked into the living room and smelled a fragrance. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was the aroma of steamed buns.
Did you make steamed buns today?
Could this woman have the ability to foresee the future, knowing that he was starving this morning?
He Zhaodi brought out a plate of pickled vegetables, grinning, "You really can't hide anything from your dog nose."
"But you guessed wrong. I didn't make these buns. Someone gave them to me. We don't have any extra flour at home."
I only buy a little flour each month, and I also save some to cook noodles for Xiaoyun every few days to supplement her nutrition.
"Given to you by someone else?"
Yan Yikuan was surprised. Who was so generous as to give away their own steamed buns?
"Guess who this is? You'd never guess." He Zhaodi picked up a mouthful of pickled vegetables and swallowed it with her thin porridge, then smiled mysteriously.
"Sister-in-law Qiu Rong?"
Yan Yi took a large bite, the fragrant aroma of the bun filling his mouth, leaving a lingering aftertaste. He mumbled indistinctly, the bun still in his mouth.
After much deliberation, he could only think of Huang Qiurong. Sister-in-law Qiurong was kind-hearted, but life was tough for everyone in the compound, except…
"Zhao Di, have this one." He handed another bun to He Zhao Di. Watching her eat the pickled vegetables, he knew she was reluctant to eat it.
He Zhaodi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You eat it. You worked hard in training this morning. Xiaoyun ate a steamed bun this morning and went to school with a full stomach."
She doesn't regret marrying Yi Kuan at all. Although she suffered a lot of grievances under her mother-in-law's care and was disliked for giving birth to a daughter, her husband was understanding, so she didn't feel that life was hard.
She was able to come and join the army thanks to Yi Kuan; otherwise, Xiao Yun wouldn't be able to go to school, and she would still be working like a slave at her husband's house.
"Then you should at least eat half, otherwise I won't eat either."
Yan Yikuan broke the bun in half and forced her to eat it. He knew Zhao Di's personality; she was used to being frugal and couldn't bear to eat anything.
"Okay, I'll eat it." He Zhaodi held the bun in both hands, took a small bite, and said happily. Then she told Su Jingjing that the bun had been brought to her by Su Jingjing.
"What? Su Jingjing? Su Jingjing from Commander Li's family?"
Yan Yikuan asked incredulously, three questions in a row: Su Jingjing was notorious in the family compound, why would she suddenly be so kind as to bring steamed buns? Could there be something wrong with these steamed buns?
He's already eaten one, and it seems too late if there's any problem.
He Zhaodi understood the suspicion in her husband's eyes, and quickly explained, "There's nothing wrong with the steamed buns. I think she's acting strangely today. She's become very understanding. She put the steamed buns down and went home."
She racked her brains, but this was the only idiom she could think of.
When He Zhaodi opened the door and saw Su Jingjing, she thought Su Jingjing had come to borrow something again. But even if she did come to borrow something, she wouldn't exchange it for steamed buns. Su Jingjing was usually arrogant and haughty, and when she said she was borrowing something, she would never return it.
So, there's nothing wrong with the steamed buns, but to believe that Su Jingjing has changed is just too incredible.
Thinking about it, it seems that Su Jingjing hasn't caused any trouble in the family compound these past two days. Could it be that she has really become better?
Yan Yikuan was also deep in thought. It seemed that Commander Li hadn't packed any food from the canteen these past two days. He had thought that Commander Li would have to cook when he got back. It seemed that someone had prepared the food at home.
After dinner, Li Hanting went straight to work without stopping. After he left, Su Jingjing felt that the atmosphere in the living room was much more relaxed, without any low pressure, and she could move around freely in the living room.
In order to lose weight, she decided to exercise every day, preferably by running early in the morning, as she had heard that this was a good way to lose weight.
She forced herself to exercise for half an hour, leaving her completely soaked, as if she had just emerged from the water. However, it was inconvenient to take a shower after such strenuous exercise, so Su Jingjing simply washed an apple and leisurely ate it. Only after calming down did she take her clothes and go into the bathroom to shower.
After taking a cool shower, Su Jingjing felt refreshed and invigorated. It seemed that with her plump figure, she had to take several showers a day.
Before the sun reached the vegetable garden, Su Jingjing planned to water the plants and remove the excess weeds, as leaving them would only hinder the growth of the vegetables.
Upon arriving at the vegetable garden, Su Jingjing spotted a familiar figure from afar. Just as she was wondering who it was, she suddenly remembered that this seemed to be He Zhaodi's vegetable garden.
Whenever she had free time, He Zhaodi would busy herself with the two vegetable plots. Her family relied on these two plots for all three meals a day. It was because of her diligence that the vegetables grown in these two plots grew so well that the original owner would set her sights on He Zhaodi and often steal her vegetables.
"Zhao Di is busy."
The sudden sound startled He Zhaodi, who hurriedly straightened up and looked up at Su Jingjing.
Looking puzzled, she wondered why the woman had come over. Was she planning to steal her vegetables again?
Thinking about the steamed buns from this morning, I sighed inwardly and decided to consider it payment for the buns.
He hurriedly replied, "Oh, you've come here..."
Su Jingjing glanced at the other person's vegetable garden, which was completely free of weeds, while her own vegetable garden was overgrown with weeds; how could she possibly grow good vegetables there?
She awkwardly pointed to the vegetable garden and laughed, "I'll come and weed."
Did you bring nothing and just start weeding?
Isn't Su Jingjing someone who never lifts a finger? Why would she think of weeding? Is she trying to change things?
He Zhaodi thought that no matter what, as long as she changed, she would feel a little better.
"I'll lend you the small hoe, it'll be more convenient that way." As she said this, she felt a little regretful, afraid that if Su Jingjing didn't return it, her family really wouldn't have any extra tools and wouldn't have the money to buy new ones.
