Chapter 32: dinner
Chapter 32 Treat
Song Xi is well-educated, gentle, polite, and approachable, unlike the cultured people in the city who have a posture of self-esteem and contempt for rural people, which immediately made several young people who saw her for the first time breathe a sigh of relief and feel at ease.
"I'm sorry, I caused you trouble today and delayed you from going to work to earn work points." Looking at the strange scene of several **** men sitting on the rocks tearing the skin of sweet potato stalks, Song Xi turned and went to the main room, took some A cup made of bamboo joints made everyone a cup of sugar water. Thank you for your great help today. If it weren't for the strength of the crowd, Zhou Yi's family's stove house might have been destroyed.
Zhou Ping, Sheng Jiahe, and Mo Jiaxiang put down the sweet potato sticks in their hands one after another, and took the sugar water handed over by Song Xi with both hands. They thought it was well water, but they didn't know it was sugar water.
Sheng Jiahe hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law... oh no, Song Xi, you are really too polite, it's not the time to be busy yet, it's okay to take a break, just take it as a way to recharge your energy for the upcoming busy farming. "
Hearing Sheng Jiahe's words, Song Xi was slightly surprised. He didn't expect this person to be quite good at talking. If this person had the opportunity to study, he would probably be very good, but in this age, not everyone has it. opportunity to read.
Song Xi decided to take a closer look at Zhou Yi's brothers. If it was possible, she would not mind pulling them into her 'team'. After all, it is impossible to rely on one person to start a career.
When forming a team, you have to slowly select people, so it is better to start observing now, and the right people can be booked in advance.
Zhou Yi saw that the young daughter-in-law's eyes seemed to grow on the Sheng family and her body, and subconsciously felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He reached out and held Song Xi's hand, and told him, "Everyone come over for dinner in the evening, and I'll be here in the afternoon." Go up the mountain to see if you can pick some mushrooms or find something else to come back, and you should rest at home obediently and don't go into the stove house again, do you understand?"
"It's time to invite everyone to dinner." Song Xi nodded in agreement. He has helped so much, and it is only right to invite everyone to dinner. The relationship can only be maintained if there is back and forth.
But looking at everyone's joking eyes, Song Xi felt a little embarrassed. Zhou Yi just said that as if she couldn't cook. Wasn't this intentional to make others laugh at her?
She can cook, but modern kitchen utensils are all automated. She is just not yet proficient in clay stoves. When she is proficient, the food she cooks will definitely be delicious.
However, she seldom cooks in person during the more than 20 years in modern times. She either went out with her friends to explore delicious food, or ate staff meals with supermarket employees. The staff meals were made by professional chefs she invited. Fruit pasta has everything.
Thinking of this, Song Xi's eyes suddenly lit up. She has been in the supermarket several times, but she has never been to the warehouse or the staff canteen. Maybe there are surprises inside!
Song Xi decided that when Zhou Yi went to the mountain in the afternoon, she would go to the warehouse and the staff canteen to check. She didn't expect much stuff inside, even a little bit would be enough for her to last for a while.
Zhou Yi looked at the young daughter-in-law Qing's eyes that suddenly lit up beside him. He didn't know what she thought of, which made his breathing stagnant, and he unconsciously clenched her hand. As long as he faced her, his heart would be Unconsciously speed up the beating.
Zhou Yi's three friends drank tea, finished tearing the skin of the sweet potato stalks, and folded the crispy sweet potato stalks into small pieces, and then left Zhou Yi's house because they were going home for lunch, and everyone was short of food these years , so no one stays at other people's homes for dinner without opening their eyes. Of course, unless someone specially invites, even if it is an invitation, you have to bring something, and you can't eat others for nothing.
Zhou Yi asked them to consciously order dinner at night, and not to let him arrest people.
It was getting late, and it was too late to make a complicated lunch, so Zhou Yi cooked porridge and steamed egg custard. In fact, Song Xi could eat dry rice and ordinary things, but Zhou Yi was afraid that she would not digest well. Still mainly liquid food.
During the meal, Zhou Yi still asked the confusion in his heart, "Daughter-in-law, why did you enter the kitchen well today? Is it because the breakfast I left is not enough?"
Song Xi ate the egg custard in her mouth, and almost spit it out. She quickly ate it, and said a little embarrassedly, "I haven't washed my hair for so long, it smells bad, and my scalp itches. I'm afraid of getting lice, so I want to Boil some water, wash your hair, but unexpectedly, the firewood fell out and ignited those leaves..."
It's summer now, and it's uncomfortable not to wash her hair for a day, not to mention that she hasn't washed her hair for many days because she hurt the back of her head. Zhou Yi is probably used to the smell, and she can't smell the bad smell anymore.
But she really can't accept herself like this, besides, the wound has scabbed over, so be careful when washing your hair, shouldn't it be okay?
"I'm sorry, Brother Yi, I was too careless to cause you such a loss." No matter what age, a house is the foundation of a life, she almost burned Zhou Yi's house down, she decided In the future, he must make up for the damage caused to him in other ways.
"Daughter-in-law, if you have anything to do in the future, let me do it, you know? If you continue to make up your own mind like this, I will be angry." He is her husband, and she refuses to let him do things. This shows that she did not treat him as her husband, "You are my wife, I am your husband, we are a family, I am willing to do anything for you, don't treat me like an outsider in the future, okay? "
Song Xi was a little embarrassed, she didn't expect Zhou Yi to be quite imaginative, she just wanted to boil water to wash her hair, there was no other meaning, under Zhou Yi's eyes that couldn't refuse, Song Xi swallowed her saliva, lightly Nodding lightly, "I see, I will tell brother Yi about anything in the future."
After getting the answer she wanted, Zhou Yi's face softened. She may not like him, but she cannot treat him as an outsider, because whether she likes him or not, they are husband and wife, and no one can change this. fact.
"Then...Brother Yi, can you pick some wild berries for me when you go up the mountain in the afternoon? The more the better." She knows that wild berries can be used to make wine. Although she hasn't practiced it, she has it in the supermarket You can follow the steps written in the book, step by step.
Since she wants to live a decent life in this poor age, she must have the ability to settle down. After all, there are only so many things in the supermarket, and she will definitely not be able to support her for a lifetime.
So she's going to start working hard.
Besides, with her ingenuity, can such a trivial matter be blamed on her? Certainly not.
