Chapter 50 Situation
Su Tao prepared the meal at home. Seeing that it was almost noon, he said a word to He Yanzhi and went out early to wait for He Chuan at the village entrance.
Shen Ziqian walked towards the village entrance and saw Su Tao standing by the roadside, looking around in a long-sleeved dress with a brocade bottom and small flowers. Shen Ziqian ran over excitedly and said, "Tao Tao, are you waiting for me?"
Su Tao was looking into the distance to see if He Chuan's tractor was coming when a dark shadow suddenly blocked her view. She frowned and pushed the figure away in disgust, "Excuse me, you're blocking my view."
Shen Ziqian didn't expect Su Tao to react like this. These days he would think of the time he spent with Su Tao from time to time. Seeing Su Tao becoming more and more dazzling, he felt that he still loved her. He thought that if he took the initiative to give her a way out, she would definitely accept him again, but he didn't expect her to have such an attitude.
Shen Ziqian moved in front of Su Tao again and said angrily, "Su Taotao, you are not really in love with that peasant, are you? Think carefully, how can he compare to me? Do you plan to live in the countryside for the rest of your life?"
Su Tao turned his head and looked at Shen Ziqian coldly. A knife-sharp light flashed in his eyes. He approached Shen Ziqian step by step with a murderous aura. "I just like him, so what? You can't compare to him in any way. You are simply lowering his value by comparing with him. Besides, even if I stay in the countryside for the rest of my life, it is better than being with you!"
Shen Ziqian was forced to retreat, his steps forced by Su Tao's cold aura. It was then that he realized he had forgotten that the woman before him wasn't as delicate as she appeared, but rather, she shared He Chuan's fierce aura. He didn't want to admit it, but they seemed a perfect match. Shen Ziqian, realizing this, was furious and ready to charge forward to argue. However, he couldn't move forward a single step as a hand from behind grabbed him by the collar and tossed him aside.
The moment Su Tao saw He Chuan, the ice and snow in his eyes instantly dissipated and melted into tenderness like water, "You are here."
He Chuan looked at Shen Ziqian with cold eyes and a stern look, "Get lost. Next time I see you bothering Su Taotao, don't blame me for being rude to you!" He turned around and pulled Su Tao towards the village.
Shen Ziqian stared blankly at the two figures walking away hand in hand. He felt that he had really lost something important and could never find it again.
At his home, He Chuan pulled out a thick stack of bills and handed it to Su Tao. Su Tao picked it up and counted them. There were actually 67 bills, as well as a variety of other tickets: meat tickets, cake tickets, stamps, cloth tickets, etc. Su Tao was dazzled by the sight. Su Tao looked at the man in surprise. She had never thought that the man was so smart. She had only asked him for meat tickets and cake tickets, and hadn't said that he could accept other tickets. She had never thought that he would know how to adapt.
"So much money? All sold out? All the pastries sold out?" Su Tao asked in surprise.
"Well, your stuff sells very well." It really sells very well, and He Chuan didn't have to waste much time talking. Basically, old customers who bought from him last time came to ask for it, and most customers would buy more or less after trying it.
It was the first time Su Tao made and sold pastries. He was unsure whether they would sell well and didn’t dare to make too many. Unexpectedly, they became quite popular.
"Hurry up and take a shower. The food is ready. Come out and we can eat." Su Tao saw that the man was sweating and had worked hard all morning. He urged the man to take a shower quickly so that he could eat.
Today, Su Tao made scallion-oil braised chicken. After the scallion's sharp taste disappeared, leaving the pungent smell behind and becoming mild and mellow. The chicken was tender and tasty, with a rich scallion aroma, smooth and refreshing.
Even He Yanzhi ate an extra bowl of rice. Since Su Tao moved into the He family, He Yanzhi's happy life began. She had delicious meals every day. During this period, He Yanzhi's thin and pale face became rounder. It was probably because of the improved diet quality and the conditioning of Lingquan that her health improved a lot.
"Sister Taotao, the food you cook is so delicious. I really hope I can eat the food you cook for the rest of my life." He Yanzhi said naively.
"If you like it, I will cook it for you all my life. Even when you get married and want to eat it, I will cook it for you." Su Tao said with a smile, and picked up a few more pieces of chicken and gave them to He Yanzhi.
