"Teacher Jiang, why are you looking at me?" Qin Man noticed his gaze, so she tilted her head to look at him.
Qin Man had washed her hair, and her long hair was scattered randomly. The dim light from the table lamp made her look extremely gentle. The blue floral waistcoat revealed her two white jade arms, delicate collarbone, and beautiful swan neck, making her look extremely pure. With that pretty face, Jiang Cong couldn't help but see his Adam's apple rolling.
When she called her Teacher Jiang, her voice and expression were so bewitching.
"Because, you are pretty!" His voice even became hoarse.
Qin Man smiled triumphantly, looking at his uncomfortable expression and his eyes that didn't dare to look at her anymore. She thought it was really interesting for this guy to flirt with her from time to time.
"What's so beautiful about it?" Qin Man raised her hand and smoothed her long hair. Her lips were red without any makeup, which made her look very charming.
Her sarcastic question made Jiang Cong's heart beat faster.
"Yeah, it's beautiful everywhere!"
He was telling the truth. He thought Qin Man was pretty from the bottom of his heart and that was her appearance that he liked the most.
Qin Man was in a very good mood after hearing the satisfactory answer.
It was late at night, and the two of them turned off the lights and lay down to rest. In the darkness, they felt inexplicably nervous.
Jiang Cong was a little stiff, lying straight on the outside, but Qin Man was more natural. She felt like she was in a relationship now, with her man next to her, and she could do whatever she wanted.
But she is not in a hurry to get closer to him now. The flirtation period is the most blushing and heart-moving. How sweet!
She turned over, hugged one of his arms, and snuggled up to him to sleep.
Jiang Cong became even more rigid, not daring to breathe, but he was very happy in his heart.
He didn't move, letting her lean on him, feeling the warmth from her body and her hair softly flowing on his arm. It was a little itchy at first, but later he got used to it and found it quite comfortable.
In the next two days, in addition to doing some chores at home, the two of them wrote in the room whenever they had free time.
Jiang Cong said that he had a dream. He wanted to be a writer and one day he wanted to write a book and sell it so that it could be read by thousands of households.
On the one hand, I can achieve my goals, and on the other hand, I can improve my quality of life through the royalties and help reduce the burden on my family.
She doesn't think that realizing one's dreams for money is vulgar. Life is all about struggle. No matter what you do, it is to make your life better. It has nothing to do with what profession you are in.
The eldest brother goes out to work as usual, without having to neglect eating and sleeping. Qin Man and Jiang Cong are at home, helping to look after the children. Jiang's mother also has time to take care of her vegetable garden. She grows delicious vegetables.
On the third day, Qin Man's translation was completed. Five days was an exaggeration. It was finished in three days. Jiang Cong was also very fast. He was not satisfied with the first draft after writing several times. He was only reluctantly satisfied with the last one.
Just at this time, my sister-in-law took leave and came back from the guesthouse.
At that time, there were only Qin Man and his wife and three children at home. Song Lian brought back a bag of peaches and some snacks for the children.
"Second sister-in-law!" Song Lian called Qin Man the first thing she called out when she entered the room.
"Hello!" Qin Man responded politely with a smile.
The younger sister-in-law likes the second sister-in-law a little more because of this. Who wouldn’t like beautiful people or things a little more?
"Here are some peaches. Go wash them and eat them. I also bought some delicious food for my nephews and nieces!"
Song Lian quickly took out the contents of the cloth bag and placed them all on the table.
In the afternoon, Jiang's father and mother came back. Seeing their daughter back, Jiang's father was very happy and even went to the village butcher to buy some meat.
In the past, each production team raised pigs together and slaughtered them for meat at the end of the year. I heard that the team with good performance could be rewarded with work points for each family.
But now the production team system is no longer practiced. There is no big pot of rice or vegetables to eat. Everyone lives alone and can only eat meat based on their own ability.
Nowadays, a pound of pork costs 1.2 yuan, which is very expensive.
Stir-fry the pork belly with oil until fragrant, stir-fry the eggplant and beans, throw in the chili segments, add seasoning and water, Jiang's mother made a lot of big buns with sauerkraut filling, spread the vermicelli on top, put the buns on top, and start to collect the juice as soon as the lid is closed. It's an authentic big pot stew!
The buns were soaked up with the rich soup, the eggplants and beans were so soft when you bite them, and the whole family enjoyed them so much.
When Song Lian learned that her sister-in-law went back to her parents' home in anger, she didn't find it strange because she had never liked her sister-in-law anyway.
"Second brother, when are you planning to go to the city?" Song Lian asked him while eating.
"Tomorrow your second sister-in-law and I will go to the county to submit the manuscript. We will probably leave the day after tomorrow!
"When we get there, we have to rent a house near the school and go there in advance to prepare!" Jiang Cong explained.
"My second sister-in-law is going too? What about Xiaoyu and Xiaoli?" Song Lian thought that her second sister-in-law would stay at home to take care of the children.
Qin Man heard this and explained:
"I'm still so young, and I'm not a big deal at home. I'm also somewhat educated, so I plan to work hard with your brother to find a suitable job. Xiaoyu and Xiaoming will also go to kindergarten when they grow up. How can your brother support us alone without some savings?
Therefore, the two children will stay at home for a year. When we have stable jobs and some savings, we will bring them over to study!"
