The kitchen was cramped, with a stove and a water tank taking up most of the area. The walls were black and greasy from being exposed to smoke and fire for a long time.
If she didn't have to cook tonight, she would have thrown away the spoons, ladles, strainers and other things hanging on them.
While no one is around, I clean the pots and pans thoroughly with detergent and boil them in hot water for half an hour.
I poured some detergent on the floor, mopped and rubbed it, and only started cooking when the greasiness was completely gone.
The clanking sounds of the repairs outside blended harmoniously with the rhythmic sounds of her cutting vegetables.
Just then Sang Bei came in.
Sangzhi discussed things with him while cutting fish.
In the past, she was alone and made all decisions on her own, but now that Sang Bei is back, she has to ask his opinion on whether to move or not.
"Now that the house is back, what are your plans? Will you continue to live at my uncle's house, or come back to live here?"
I previously asked Qin Yuan to help find my eldest brother's whereabouts. He said he already has some news. When my eldest brother comes back, we can be reunited as a family."
Sang Bei looked hesitant.
He wanted to live back. Although this place was small and not as comfortable as his uncle's house, the house belonged to them and he had a sense of belonging.
But my uncle’s children and grandchildren are all living in other places. Once they leave, won’t the old man be alone again?
Sangzhi saw his dilemma and suggested, "Then you can live at our house while you're in school, and go to the compound during holidays.
Although our house is small, it is no problem for one more person to live in it.
I'll clean up the house. Uncle misses you, so let's take him over to stay for a few days."
It is certain that I am not used to the separation.
But they can't stay there forever.
It just so happened that Cai’s aunt came back from her hometown, so he felt relieved to have someone taking care of him.
The brother and sister should go there more often, and everyone will be happy.
After Sang Bei went to work, Sang Zhi continued to cook. In fact, she only planned to empty the house today and had no intention of cleaning.
But the helpers were too diligent and she couldn't stop them. All she could do was ensure the logistics.
The fish was quite big, but it was definitely not enough for several young and strong laborers to eat. So they gave Aunt Su Xia some food coupons and asked her to help get some vegetables from the canteen.
She chopped the fish into pieces, fried it first, and then stewed and stir-fried it. She bought all the seasonings when she was at home.
Moreover, both boiling tofu and boiling fish take time. He added firewood to the stove and started making pancakes again.
The pancakes baked with mulberry branches can be paired with fish soup or eaten directly. Not only are the pancakes soft, but there are also layers of material inside when you tear them open.
The two children hadn't eaten well all day and had worked for half a day, so they were already hungry. Sangzhi gave each of them a piece of bread to fill their mouths.
As soon as the two children went out, they heard footsteps behind them.
The person who came took big steps and spoke loudly, and it was obvious that he was an adult. She subconsciously thought that the other person was Qin Yuan.
"After dinner, please help me move the water tank to the yard. The kitchen is small and it will take up too much space."
Moreover, the water tank had not been cleaned for who knows how long. When she first cleaned the tank, the bottom was full of mud and water, which made her feel disgusted.
She was shredding potatoes at the moment, and when the person behind her didn't respond, she got distracted. She had just cut fish, and the chopping board was slippery.
The potato slipped and the sharp knife almost cut her hand.
Sangzhi only let out a cry of surprise, and footsteps approached rapidly.
At this moment, Sangzhi turned around to explain to others.
The sound sounds scary, but it is actually the sound of a knife chopping on the chopping board.
She pulled her hand away so quickly that she didn't even get a scratch.
But it just happened to be such a coincidence that when she turned her head, her lips kissed the man's cheek.
It wasn't a vague kiss, nor was it a light glancing blow. Instead, it was a real, solid kiss on the man's slightly cool, stubbled cheek.
If he turns his head a little more, the kiss will not be on the face, but on the mouth!
Time seemed to have stopped between the two of them.
They were so close that they could see the fine hairs on each other's faces and feel each other's rapid breathing.
Sangzhi's eyes were wide open at this time, like a frightened cat.
She quickly pushed him away, annoyed and angry, "Who told you to come in without saying anything?"
If it were the usual height difference between the two, there would be absolutely no possibility of contact.
But who made her turn her head and Jiang Yan just happened to bend down?
She wiped her mouth with her sleeve, but no matter how many times she wiped it, the feeling of the kiss just now could not be shaken off her mind.
Jiang Yan distanced himself from her, his back still handsome and straight, his expression still natural and relaxed.
Just as Sangzhi was about to speak, a mechanical voice reminded her in her head.
"Detected the target person's emotions surge, merit value increased by 180, host, please keep up the good work and reach new heights."
Ever since she found her brother, she has been constantly making money and spending money.
Her merit value had been hovering around 400 points, but an accident today gave her 180!
I wonder if it’s because Jiang Yan was the one who triggered the system to start.
Anyway, the system is very special to him. The ratio of merit points to mall prices is ten to one for others, but it is one to one for him.
Look at him, his face is not red and his heart is not beating fast. Good, he is so emotional.
Even if he contributed merit points, Sangzhi would not give him a good face.
"I'm sorry about what happened last time."
Jiang Yan apologized sincerely, but without waiting for a response, he put his fist to his lips and pretended to cough to ease the embarrassment. His hand accidentally brushed against the place she had just kissed, and he quickly put it down.
"Okay, I understand. Just apologize and get out."
She continued shredding the potatoes, indicating that she understood.
Her words were cold and she didn't even look up at him, which showed that she was still angry.
Jiang Yan also understood that she was not dough that could be manipulated by anyone.
Why should people forgive me with just a few words when the harm was done in the past?
Qin Yuan was still looking outside, he whispered.
