"Thank you, Uncle Sun."
"Don't be polite." Hunter Sun waved his hand indifferently and went straight back to his room. As soon as he lay down on the kang, he saw the old woman looking at him with her eyes open.
I asked helplessly. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Didn't you guys just wake me up talking? Why is the youngest of the Cheng family suddenly so nice to Jiang Zhiqing? Is there some connection between their families?"
"What's the connection? After all, his wife is from the city. Maybe they're just helping each other."
"You're the only one who believes that. I saw it happen. Some time ago, the couple came to visit Jiang Zhiqing with some things."
Seeing his wife continue to ramble on, Sun Hunter reluctantly interrupted her and closed his eyes, looking like he was about to fall asleep. "Alright, stop making wild guesses and don't tell anyone about this. It'll ruin my reputation."
"I'm just chatting with you. I'm not a gossipy person." After saying that, he turned around, closed his eyes and went to sleep, ignoring the old man.
…
When Jiang Shubai heard that Cheng Fangyuan brought him food, he was a little surprised. He went to the kitchen and opened the three lunch boxes on the stove. There were two lunch boxes, three meat dishes and one vegetable dish, and a large box of rice.
Sun the hunter's family left him a meat dish, a vegetable dish, and a large bowl of mixed grain flour. He couldn't finish all these dishes in two meals.
Although he could afford these meals, he felt warmth in this strange place. Picking up the chopsticks and eating the fragrant rice, he felt a little uncomfortable in his eyes, but he didn't dare to blink, for fear of revealing his embarrassing side.
This year's New Year's Eve dinner was so delicious that Jiang Shubai couldn't help himself and finished a large box of rice. There were not many dishes left in the lunch box. Thinking that it should not be wasted, he could only put them in another bowl.
After washing the lunch box and putting it aside, he went to take a shower and go to bed.
New Year's Day.
Song Tanglan slept until she woke up naturally. She slept very comfortably last night and felt that her foot was almost healed. However, when she walked faster, her left foot still felt a stinging pain, so she didn't dare to jump around now.
Not many people knew that Song Tanglan was injured, especially since she was injured because she was robbed. If this kind of thing were made public, it would easily ruin her reputation, so even though the Cheng family knew that she was injured, they didn't say a word.
On the third day after she twisted her foot, Li Mazi broke her leg, and she still couldn't hide it from the villagers. The Li family had a lot of jokes because of this incident. She spent a lot of money on the surgery and had to stay in bed for three months. The daughters-in-law who married into the Li family were still dissatisfied with this.
But he didn't dare show it in front of Mrs. Li.
…
Fortunately, it was winter and few people came to visit, not to mention that everyone was busy preparing New Year's goods. In addition, it just so happened that every time Su Tao came, she was lying in bed, so the three educated youths didn't know that she was injured.
Song Tanglan just walked into the living room and was a little surprised when she saw someone sitting there drinking tea.
It would be strange if she didn't react when she woke up early in the morning and saw a stranger sitting in her house.
"Good morning, educated youth Xiao Song!"
"Good morning, Jiang Zhiqing."
Jiang Shubai looked at the confused little girl, whose thoughts were reflected on her face, and explained helplessly.
"I'm here to return the lunch box and to wish you a happy new year."
When Song Tanglan heard what he said, she scratched her head awkwardly: "Oh, so that's how it is. Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Xiao Song, educated youth. Is your left foot feeling better?"
"Much better, much better. I can even walk now. Jiang Zhiqing, I'm going to go wash up first. I'll be gone for a while!"
After saying that, she quickened her pace and walked towards the kitchen. If she stayed any longer, she might be so embarrassed that she would dig a hole and crawl into it.
Cheng Fangyuan came out of the room with his treasured tea collection and saw his younger sister's hurried back. He looked at her with some confusion, not knowing why she was so anxious.
But he didn't think much about it. He turned around and looked at Jiang Shubai happily, "Jiang Zhiqing, look, this is my tea collection. I bought it in the neighboring province some time ago. It cost me a lot of money. If you hadn't come to my house today, I wouldn't even be willing to drink it!"
Jiang Shubai took a look at the packaging and realized that the tea was indeed not cheap, but it was only expensive in the countryside. For him, it was just for daily drinking.
"This is really good tea, and it's hard to buy. Brother Yuan, you are so lucky."
"Haha, I just happened to meet an acquaintance, so I bought it. Let's brew it and try it later." Cheng Fangyuan was very happy to hear his tea collection was praised. It was rare for someone who understood tea to be willing to drink tea with him.
He suddenly felt that it would be okay to drink the treasures he collected.
…
As soon as Song Tanglan arrived in the kitchen, she saw her second sister busying herself there. She walked over curiously and found that she was making breakfast.
Today's breakfast was particularly rich, with lean meat porridge, meat buns and vegetable buns, as well as a lot of meat patties, all with meat. This made Song Tanglan sigh that it was indeed a good time during the Chinese New Year, and it was no problem to eat meat every meal.
"What are you standing here for? Go wash up! Breakfast will be ready soon! It's rare for my second sister to cook, so you should eat more later."
"Okay, okay, I'm just washing up. Second sister, the porridge you cooked smells so good!"
"Of course. If Jiang Zhiqing hadn't come over today, I wouldn't have cooked. Oh, and Jiang Zhiqing not only came to return the lunch box, he also brought a gift. I have to invite him to have breakfast!"
While brushing her teeth, Song Tanglan listened to her second sister mumbling, nodding from time to time in response to what she said.
During breakfast, Cheng Fangyuan and Song Tangcheng greeted us very warmly.
Jiang Shubai was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiastic couple and could only listen to their greetings and eat the delicious breakfast.
