"Zhao Di, thank you. I'll return it to you later." Su Jingjing expressed her heartfelt gratitude.
He Zhaodi waved her hand, saw her clumsily weeding, shook her head and walked over to teach her step by step. This was not surprising. She had heard that Su Jingjing had never done any rough work at her parents' home, and after marrying Commander Li, she did not touch any housework at all.
Su Jingjing was quick-witted. After the demonstration, she understood immediately. Seeing He Zhaodi sowing vegetable seedlings, she blinked and casually asked, "Zhaodi, what vegetables are suitable to plant in this season?"
He Zhaodi paused in her scattering of vegetable seedlings. Could it be that she had her eye on the seedlings? But her family was short of seedlings.
Su Jingjing realized that Zhao Di seemed to have misunderstood her meaning, so she quickly straightened up and explained, "Don't misunderstand, I was just asking."
He Zhaodi looked slightly uncomfortable and quickly said, "This is the perfect time to plant cucumbers, water spinach, amaranth, radishes..."
Several times in a row, Su Jingjing listened attentively.
For the next hour, neither of them spoke. Su Jingjing didn't know what to say, since she was a complete stranger to He Zhaodi, while He Zhaodi maintained a "don't provoke her if you can avoid it" attitude, even though she really wanted to ask Su Jingjing if she was truly changing.
There were only two people in the vegetable garden. The atmosphere wasn't exactly harmonious, but it was much better than the previous noisy atmosphere.
Su Jingjing kept her promise and returned the hoe. She also gave He Zhaodi a small bunch of rapeseed. He Zhaodi hadn't planted rapeseed in her vegetable garden. She was flattered and surprised, as she was usually the one being taken advantage of.
After working in the vegetable garden for two hours, and thinking that her two children would be getting out of school soon, Su Jingjing tidied up and went back to cook.
In this hot weather, the meat I bought yesterday won't keep for long, so I might as well eat it all at once. Now I can only stir-fry two simple vegetables.
The sound of a lock being opened came from the door. Su Jingjing peeked out and saw that the father and his two sons had returned together.
"You're back? Go wash your hands and eat." After saying that, she continued to cook the second dish, her hands constantly stirring and flipping the ingredients.
Li Hanting told the two children to wash their hands before he went in to change his clothes.
Li Cheng'an threw his bag back into the room and pulled his sister to wash her hands. He didn't know why the old hag was making so many demands. Didn't she not wash her hands before?
But in order to eat sooner, he only muttered to himself.
After quickly washing my hands, I hurriedly pulled my sister to sit down. Smelling the aroma of food coming from the kitchen, my bottom couldn't stay still. I kept peeking into the kitchen, wondering what we would eat tonight.
Su Jingjing was plating the food when she didn't notice the man approaching. She turned around and almost bumped into his chest.
I subconsciously looked up, "You..."
Li Hanting said indifferently, "I'll do it. Is there anything else you need?"
Su Jingjing stared blankly at the things on the stove. The man took two plates of food, turned around and walked into the living room, while she took the bowls and chopsticks and followed behind.
Huh? No meat today?
Li Cheng'an looked at the two plates of lush green vegetables, but hesitated to pick up his chopsticks.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and eat, you'll have a nap later."
She pouted, "Dad, is there no meat today?"
Li Yuanyuan put down her chopsticks, her adorable eyes fixed on her brother.
Li Hanting was taken aback; this kid wanted to eat meat.
But the food today tasted pretty good. It seems that even the most ordinary things can become delicious after Su Jingjing's hands have done them.
Su Jingjing chuckled to herself. She knew it! She didn't believe she couldn't handle a little brat.
Three pairs of eyes looked over at the same time, and Li Cheng'an's face quickly turned red. He hurriedly tried to explain, "I... I didn't want to eat it, I was just asking casually."
After saying that, he lowered his head and buried his face in his bowl, trying to hide himself.
He didn't want the old hag to make fun of him.
Su Jingjing subconsciously wanted to pat An'an's head, but he quickly pulled back, his hand awkwardly hanging in mid-air. In the end, he smiled to cover it up and withdrew his hand.
"You want to eat meat? I'll go buy some this afternoon."
She had arranged to meet Zhaodi at the village store that afternoon to buy some things, since she had a large sum of money on her.
Li Cheng'an's instinctive reaction was to shrink back, since the old hag used to beat him up all the time.
Just as he was hesitating whether to explain, upon hearing that the old hag was going out to spend money again, he pursed his lips and decided not to explain anymore.
Hmph... She only knows how to spend her father's money, what a fake kind heart!
Even without meat, Li Cheng'an ate happily, finishing two bowls of rice in one go, while his sister was still chewing slowly, her mind wandering as she ate.
He took his sister's bowl and skillfully fed her, before making the most of his lunch break.
Li Hanting's face remained expressionless, as if he had long been used to it.
It seems the two children have a really good relationship, otherwise An'an wouldn't have poisoned the original owner of the body for her younger sister when she grew up.
After the two children went into the room, Su Jingjing also put down her chopsticks and made an excuse to go into the kitchen. She didn't dare to be alone with a man, always feeling that he would see through her.
Li Hanting's deep eyes scrutinized Su Jingjing's back, his whole body exuding a chilling aura. Could a person's temperament change so drastically?
Only when she could no longer feel the man's scrutiny did Su Jingjing, clutching her chest, finally calm down and let out a long sigh of relief.
As expected of the top leader in the army, he has a sharp eye; I, a mere underling, am no match for him.
After a one-hour lunch break, Su Jingjing packed her bag and went out to meet He Zhaodi after the father and his two sons left.
When I arrived at the family compound, I saw Sister Qiu Rong carrying a vegetable basket next to me, and she smiled the next second.
"Sister-in-law Qiu Rong, are you going grocery shopping with me?"
As the saying goes, it's never a bad thing to have more friends.
It seems that her steamed buns this morning weren't a waste. However, Sister Qiu Rong and Zhao Di are easy to get along with. It was all the original owner's own fault for pushing aside her good neighbor.
Huang Qiurong tightened her grip on the basket and looked at Su Jingjing calmly, saying, "I was just about to go buy some groceries anyway, let's go together."
It's still uncertain whether Su Jingjing has become completely friendly, and she's too embarrassed to be overly enthusiastic.
Hopefully, Su Jingjing isn't faking it this time!
The villages near the military region are quite large, so a small shop was opened to provide convenience for the nearby villagers. Of course, some villagers also sell vegetables or meat nearby, but they don't need coupons, and the prices are relatively a little more expensive.
But compared to taking a bus to the city, the latter is much more troublesome, so the women in the residential compound prefer to come here to buy vegetables.
Upon entering the convenience store, Su Jingjing bought toothpaste and toothbrushes for the two children without hesitation. Although they were still young, she wanted to teach them to take care of their teeth from a young age.
Upon seeing the delicate and pretty hair tie, she immediately thought that it would look very nice on the little girl. Now that the weather is hot, it's easy for her to get lice if she wears her hair down.
After some careful selection, I also bought a hoe and some vegetable seedlings, including cucumbers, water spinach, and radishes.
I'll buy some more meat later and then we'll be all done.
He Zhaodi bought Yi Kuan a towel, which was already tattered. Then she bought some vegetable seedlings and dared not look around anymore.
