Year 1972, Spring
It was noon, a time for people to work. Smoke arose from every house in Taohua Village. Both the sound of children’s excitement and adults’ voices made the village look particularly lively.
But in the house of one family, two people roared at each other. The rest of the family members were quiet and didn’t dare to join the argument.
“You, said. You! It was you who wanted to marry him. Now you regret when he became a disabled! Who taught you that, Su Jiao Jiao?” The man’s angry roar resonated in the house. There were three children in the family, and the other four adults did not dare to make a sound.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the house cooked in the kitchen in silence. The second daughter-in-law burned the fire. Several others squatted in the yard.
Su Jiao Jiao bowed her head. Her brain had not yet fully reacted, so she stayed quiet. She arranged her thoughts silently and didn’t worry about being beaten at all, because she knew that someone would help immediately.
Sure enough, after the man roared, a sharp female voice immediately roared back angrily: “What do you mean, dead old man? Song Qingshang had become like this, and you still want my daughter to marry him? My daughter is smart enough not to continue this marriage because that man wouldn’t be able to marry anyone else with his situation!”
“Nonsense! You spoil her too much.” The man became more angry, his face turned from the color of black to red. The blue veins around his neck was about to pop out.
He pointed to Su Jiao Jiao’s nose and shouted, “Before, he didn’t want to marry you. You forced this marriage. You made the family look like a joke! Now when the man agreed to marry, you didn’t want it. The labor and management informed us of this matter and was settled half a year ago. Even if you want to change it, you can’t. You just marry.”
In the middle of the talk, the man was pushed and staggered two steps. Because the man stopped from talking, the woman’s crying voice became louder and louder: “Su Zheng yang, you are a murderer! You’re killing your daughter for the rest of her life! ”
The woman said while beating him with her hand, which made a dull sound on his body, but the man just kept his teeth on: “A spit on a nail. What she wanted at the beginning, can’t be changed!”
“Spit on a nail” : It’s a Chinese idiom that means you are responsible for your own words
“Su Zheng yang! You don’t know that our daughter is still young! they’re not yet sensible…” The woman gritted her teeth with despair.
But at this time, the girl who had been bowing her head suddenly looked up with a look of innocence. Her clear eyes looked at the two people who were fighting in a group, and said in a crisp voice, “Marry, who says I will not marry?”
Sun Fang tore her husband’s hands away, took her daughter’s hand, and roared “Daughter, are you confused? Your husband is in that condition. Who will support you when you marry him? Being the wife of the Song family is not good.”
Su Jiao Jiao blinked twice and nodded seriously: “Mom! I’m married! I asked for this marriage, and I should fulfill it.”
Her voice was soft, her eyes were clear, her beautiful face was more beautiful than before, and there was no haze between her eyebrows, which was quite different from before.
Listening to the meaning of her words, and then looking at their daughter’s calm posture, Su Zheng yang and Sun Fang were both dumbfounded.
Just now, they had been arguing to determine whether to marry their daughter to Song Qingshang, who was wounded and retired five days ago.
The marriage was originally sought by Su Jiao Jiao, but now Song Qingshang had been seriously injured and retired from the army. It was very likely that he may not be able to walk with two legs, as the other leg couldn’t support the weight of the body. For the world that relies on physical labor to earn work points in the countryside, there was no doubt that the sky is falling.
In particular, Song Qingshang had a pair of eccentric parents who always stole what belongs to him to give them to his second brother. Song Qingshang was pitiful that he had to live for himself. He had become an existence that young woman couldn’t avoid. How else could Su Jiao Jiao take advantage of this?
If in the past, it was a gain, but now it’s a loss. Sun Fang, who loved her daughter, refused to do anything. Su Zheng yang, who keeps his promise, resolutely refused to give up this marriage. These days, the family had been arguing about this matter and never stopped.
Su Zheng yang thought that the daughter who was determined not to marry would be the most difficult bone to chew. Who knew that she would agree first?
He was stunned. Looking at her pretty face, his heart suddenly felt soft and sour. He just shouted that her daughter had to marry him. Now he choked his throat and couldn’t speak.
Sun Fang beat him angrily: “Are you satisfied now? Our daughter can’t eat anymore! You have to support her for life! All because you forced her to marry that useless man! ”
Su Zheng yang took a deep breath, wiped his face and said in a deep voice: “Raise! I’ll raise her all my life! Anyway, both the eldest and the second eldest are both old, we don’t need to raise them! ”
*****
After half a noon, two daughters-in-law of the house heard the final decision of the agreement, and suddenly their faces were not good. They all wanted to say something, but looking at their parents-in-law’s ugly face, they were flustered. They didn’t dare to open their mouth. The three children and the two big men didn’t have any special expressions.
That is to say, Su Jiao, who just decided to marry, was absent-minded and barely ate two sweet potatoes.
They still had to work in the afternoon. So, after lunch, everyone went to their rooms to take a short nap.
When Su Jiao Jiao returned to her room, there was a dark flower bed, a small desk, a wardrobe, and the walls of the room were pasted with paper. It can be seen that the owner of the room was very loved by his family.
But as she laid down and looked at the ceiling, she saw black beam with spiderwebs on it. Since her eyesight was better, she could see the spiders on them, which made her scalp numb and she wanted to cry.
In fact, she was not the person in this world, but from the future–year 2018. She came from a family who never worries about money.
Because she had a social phobia and doesn’t like to go out to play, she chose a job as a freelancer. However, during the holiday in May, her best friend pulled her out and asked her to go camping with her. She had no choice but to go.
But Su Jiao Jiao had a characteristic, that is, she was relatively unlucky. It always rains and thunders on any important day. And so, it rained heavily on that day. It was night time. They were busy looking for a place to shelter from the rain. It was getting dark, so because she was in a hurry, she fell into a gutter somehow.
When she woke up again, she was still in the trapped. It took people a long time to notice her and save her, and she fainted immediately.
As a result, when she came to her senses, she was already at home. At that time, she was still at a loss, but it was strange that someone else’s life appeared in her mind.
This girl was born in 1954. Her name was also Su Jiao Jiao.
She was eighteen years old. She was born almost as early as the famine in the early 60s. She remembered being nearly identical to herself, and if she hadn’t seen her niece’s teeth on her thigh, she would never thought she was in her original body.
In the same way, Su Jiao Jiao suspects that she has changed her identity with the original owner, but she didn’t know if she had become younger. After all, she was 23 years old, and the original owner was only 18.
This village they lived was called Taohua, it was located under a small city in the south.
It was said that this place was originally just a piece of empty land. During the war, some refugees came here, lived, and gradually formed a village. As a result, the village covered a wide area, with not too many people. It only add up to more than 60 households.
Father Su Zheng yang and mother Sun Fang, were the people just now who quarreled. She also has two older brothers, Su Jianhua and Su Jian Jun. They were several years older than her, and both had already married and had children.
The original owner was raised just as the same as with others, except that she as spoiled. In addition, she was spoiled by her parents to be naïve, simple and arrogant. It’s no different from other girls. She went to school honestly and wisely. Unfortunately, she didn’t get any reply from the university now. She just graduated from high school, and because she was occupied by family issues, she couldn’t go to work, so she stayed at home.
Last summer, she fell in love with a young man from the same village, Song Qingshang, a soldier, who sent home 20 yuan a month. Making the Song family better than most people in the village, which was enviable. So in the summer half a year ago, when Song Qingshang went home to visit his family. Most of the villagers were in the pond, so she deliberately dragged him into the pond together.
This era was considered conservative. In addition, the crime of hooliganism is to be sentenced to death, not to mention that Song Qingshang was a soldier, so the original owner deliberately fell on him and insisted on marrying.
At this point, the original parents doted on her, so against the sound of being laughed at by the whole village, they gave up her their face to help her settle the marriage. Song Qingshang, who was forced to be engaged, didn’t want to proceed, with an excuse that he was busy with the army. He didn’t came back last year just because he didn’t want to marry her.
Unexpectedly, Song Qingshang returned but he was injured in one leg and was sent back for self-cultivation. He was seriously injured and was directly discharged from the army.
The parents of the Song family were not good people either. They didn’t care about this son at all. When they heard about his broken legs, they thought he would be unable to work. They immediately proposed to marry him to the Su family. They were afraid that he would depend and eat his family’s food all his life.
Seeing this, Su Jiao Jiao’s thoughts circulated. Didn’t the Song’s parents think that Song Qingshang would be subsidized by the army after being injured?
She didn’t think so.
In any case, Song Qingshang was chased out to live in a shabby place. At this time, he deliberately mentioned his marriage with the original owner. In the original owner’s eyes, she wanted to find someone to rely on delicious rice, so she didn’t want to marry him.
She didn’t want to live a hard life by herself, plus this half year’s time, the two people had no feelings with each other.
Aside from her engagement with Song Qingshang, the original owner and the educated young man also had ambiguous interactions.
The original owner did a thing – escape marriage.
It was this opportunity that came, but what made her strange was that she remembered that the original owner was heading to town. She and the educated young man agreed to meet in the town, but when she came, she was in the mountain in the opposite direction.
The memory was just until here. At that time, the mind of Su Jiao was so confused that she could no longer see anything.
When she crossed here, she woke up at her family’s home. She just woke up. Because the development was too strong and strange, she was a little confused. She came out to have a look. Unexpectedly, her father came back and saw her wake up. The father suddenly fried the pot, which was the scene that happened just now.
*****
Through the name of the original owner and the name of the village, Su Jiao knew that this is a sweet favorite book of the seventies. The female lead was the educated woman who came to the countryside in the autumn of 1972, and the male lead was Song Qingshang.
From the perspective of the book, it introduced the situation of Song Qingshang.
Su Jiao read it before camping. Later, when she went out to camp, she was too busy to read it. At present, she knew the content of tens of thousands of words in the plot.
Song Qingshang deliberately mentioned the marriage at the beginning, just to take the opportunity to terminate the engagement. However, Su Zhengyang was too firm about the marriage. When he mentioned it, Su Zhengyang refused to say anything. He would not agree to terminate the engagement.
In addition, the original owner failed to escape since Su Zheng yang exploded in anger. He simply tied her to marry.
As a result, the original owner took advantage of Song Qingshang’s illness, put on a green hat for him, and was almost known by many people. In order not to be convicted of hooliganism, the educated young man took her away.
They eloped. Song Qingshang lived on his own with his own disabled legs. Although he lived a miserable life in the eyes of outsiders, Song Qingshang lived a very comfortable life.
Of course, Su Jiao only knew until here. She didn’t know about the development behind it.
But it didn’t matter. After all, it’s a modern culture. Besides, Song Qingshang was a soldier. He was upright and shouldn’t retaliate.
As for escaping marriage….
Without the plot, Su Jiao Jiao could guess that the original owner and the educated young man had a miserable life after they fled. Maybe they were sold.
In addition, Su Jiao Jiao herself was also a spoiled person. She couldn’t carry her shoulder with hands off. The original owner took away the money from the private house.
She herself didn’t like to wear jewelry.
Now that she’s in poverty. She could only live honestly.
It’s even more impossible to resist marriage. The original owner made such a mess. She didn’t know how many good and bad words were exchanged that her father didn’t agree to terminate the marriage. It was even more impossible for her.
So now there’s only one ending waiting for her, that is to marry honestly.
In any case, Song Qingshang didn’t like her.
She planned that after a few years of peace with Song Qingshang, she would go take the college entrance examination once it resumes. Su Jiao Jiao remembered clearly that after taking the examination, the school announced they were offering subsidies. The better her grades are, the more subsidies she gets. There was no need to worry about her life. After studying hard and graduating, she could find a good job.
From the 1980’s to the 1990’s, when there was gold everywhere, intellectual people were affected as almost everything was lacking.
Even if she didn’t seek improvement and wanted to live a stable life, she could live just relying on basic knowledge. Therefore, Su Jiao Jiao was not worried about the future after 1977.
The problem was the year before 1977, although the original owner was favored at home, being able to eat two more meals than other girls.
But if the food was ‘meat’, it could only be eaten on a holiday once a year.
As a gourmet lover, Su Jiao Jiao almost cried when she thought of the bitter days she was going to live in the future.
All of a sudden, a soft, cute voice like that of a five-year-old girl appeared in her mind! [Ding! the matchmaker system is activated! Host Su Jiao is bound successfully. May the host and her husband grow old together!]
Su Jiao Jiao was scared that she lost her expression and said, “What?!”
After slowing down, Su Jiao Jiao said, “What the hell! What are you?!”
It seemed that it didn’t expect that the other side would respond this way. The voice was a little lost and aggrieved! [Host, this system is called the matchmaker system. Men and women who have common traits are the most loving couples! Different tasks will be issued and awarded based on the needs of the host and her husband…]
Finally, the small system added: [The host can be a good wife, or a mother, you can do it!!]
Su Jiao Jiao: “Straighten your tongue and speak!”
[……Oh] The small system was lost.
She did not pay any more attention to the little system, and understood the meaning of the voice. She was trying to suppress her joy, and her legs couldn’t help kicking up.
As an ordinary person, she really liked the golden fingers given in the novel. She once dreamed that she could have a space to put a lot of her things in, but upon crossing over, she didn’t even receive any cheats.
Fortunately, she was given an extra golden finger after this crossed over!
It’s just that the surprise came too quickly. After a little ecstasy, she thought of the anti-golden finger novels she had read before, and became afraid, “Are you real? There won’t be any occupation of the host body, will there? Is there a complaint channel?”
Matchmaker system: [……]
It felt offended that the host didn’t believe this system.
The booming voice of the matchmaker system was more crisp and tender: [Of course, I am authentic! Host, please look!]
With that, a blue translucent panel appeared in front of her eyes with her simple personal information:
Host: Su Jiao Jiao
Existing materials: None
The most important thing was there was really a complaint button in the lower right corner!
When Su Jiao Jiao tried to reach out and press her hand, the matchmaker system was stupefied and cried out in the next second: [What did I do wrong that you want to complain about me? Host, I will change.]
Su Jiao Jiao took back her hand and listened to the voice of a child crying in her mind. She immediately explained, “No, I’m just curious.”
The matchmaker system breathed a sigh of relief and sniffed very nimbly, saying in a low voice: [Master, I will give you tasks. Do you want to earn money by completing them?]
Distract her and she won’t want to complain.
If this system was reported, it would be locked for many years!
This was the first time for it to be a system with a host. It didn’t want to be screwed up right away!
“Well, I’ll give it a try.” She nodded vaguely.
The matchmaker system was happy and crisply said: [Task 1, Your husband and his friends are currently sweating at the new house. In order to repay, please send mungbean soup* to the people who were helping your husband repair your new house. Reward: Marriage fund 2 yuan].
At the same time, the panel in front of her had also changed. These words directly appeared.
Repair the new house?
By the way, in the memory of the original owner, Song Qingshang was sent back by a car after he was injured. The driver who drove him had dinner at his house and left early the next day. But within a few days, four people came to help him repair the house. I guess they knew that Song Qingshang had been abandoned by his parents and came to help.
He could not live in this house at all. Once it rained, it rained heavily outside and drizzled inside.
When the first time the original owner saw that he lived here, she was more determined to quit the marriage.
However, the system didn’t witness these scenes, which showed that it was more powerful than what Su Jiao Jiao thought!
After looking at the task, Su Jiao Jiao who looked forward to completing the task, asked doubtfully, “Really rich? What can be used in this world?”
Was it really possible for good things to fall on her? Two yuan in modern times was not much, two yuan equated to buying a bottle of water. But at this period, you can buy a lot of things! With the price of the world, you can buy a pair of nice sneakers for two yuan.
The matchmaker emphasized: [Really!]
Su Jiao Jiao was extremely happy, held her face, and said, “Can we bargain?”
The matchmaker system was dumbfounded: [What?]
“How about changing the two yuan reward into three yuan reward?”
【…… No! ]
“All right ~”
***
It was now lunch break. Even if she wanted to do a task, she couldn’t go there at this time, so she just took a nap.
At two o’clock in the afternoon, Su Jiao Jiao was woken up by the trumpet in the village and knew that it was time to go to work.
The original owner didn’t need to go. She only needed to fetch her nephews and nieces, so Su Jiao Jiao wanted to continue to rest for a while, and waited a bit before cooking the mungbean soup.
Unexpectedly, the Su’s parents took the children out of the house, and after a while Su Zheng yang came back, and said to Su Jiao Jiao, “Jiao Jiao, Song Qingshang's comrades are helping build the house. Your mother just soaked some mungbeans. You add some sugar. Boil the soup and send it to them. At least you need to show proper etiquette, understand?”
Su Jiao Jiao almost laughed and answered happily, “Understand.”
Su Zheng yang thought that he would have to spend more time talking. He was about to say two more words when he heard the answer and was stunned. When did his daughter talk so well?
Although she was his daughter, Su Zheng yang believed that Jiao Jiao was spoiled since she was a child. She did not like to wash her clothes and was always lazy.
He didn’t think about it so much, and reminded: “Jiao Jiao, bring more water. They might not have enough to drink.”
“I know.” Su Jiao responded crisply.
Su Zheng yang left at ease. His eyes narrowed with a grin on his face. As long as his daughter could live with his son-in-law well, he had no problem suffering more. They can have two sons instead of one!
Su Jiao didn’t know about the idea of this body’s father. She didn’t feel embarrassed because it was part of the tasks given by the system. She would just say that her father ordered her.
She got up happily and took out the white sugar locked in the cupboard from her parents’ room. The parents of the original owner didn’t hide it from the original owner. She knew where they hid the key.
The mungbeans were soaked in the kitchen. They could just be boiled.
It’s just…..boiling it…with fire.
Su Jiao Jiao wrinkled her little face and took the match to make fire, but it didn’t take long for the fire to lit fiercely. She was afraid, and put out the fire, then went to light another one.
The five-year-old Dabao1 heard the noise, rubbed his eyes, saw the scene, and cried: “Auntie, you can’t waste firewood like this. Grandma will scold you when she sees you!”
Su Jiao Jiao shrunk her neck in a guilty way: “Why don’t you try?”
Dabao immediately ran towards her and took over. At the same time, in a small voice, he said, “Auntie, can I have a drink of mungbean soup?”
In the past, his aunt didn’t give them sugar water, but this current aunt now looked more kind. He couldn’t help asking.
“Of course!” Su Jiao Jiao smiled and nodded.
“Wow!” Dabao was immediately happy, and his hands and feet were quick to light the fire.
It’s not difficult for Su Jiao to wash the pots. It’s just that she struggled to hold the weight.
But Song Qingshang's house was on the edge of the village, and with everyone working, there should be five or six people. Two warm kettles should be enough.
***
Half an hour later, the sweet mungbean soup was boiling.
It was afternoon in the month of May. The sun was shining, and made the temperature very hot.
Su Jiao Jiao felt that the working people could not drink hot water in this weather, so she made a lot of effort to bring cold water together from the well in the yard, and quickly cooled the cooked mungbean soup in a clean big bowl.
She repeated it twice, until the mungbean soup cooled completely. Before pouring the soup into the thermos, she poured Dabao a glass.
“Aunt, this mungbean soup is delicious!” Dabao took a sip carefully. The soup was too good. He circled around in place, and his face was full of smiles.
“That mungbean soup is cooked by your aunt!” said Su Jiao Jiao with a smug smile
She was not very good at cooking, and hadn’t cooked properly, but this time, this sweet mung bean soup greatly satisfied her.
She told dabao to take good care of his two younger brothers at home, and Su Jiao went out with two thermos pots.
***
On the side of the village, Song Qingshang's new home.
Four young men were shirtless as they sweat. They were still full of energy: “We are good at this, right? Look at this new tile, it’s beautiful!”
“What’s wrong with you? This is the tile I bought!” Another man with a thick voice replied angrily.
The others laughed and joked together. The atmosphere was lively. They sat in the shade of the yard, with smiles on the corners of their mouth.
It was at this time that Su Jiao Jiao came. When she came to the door, she began to feel nervous and didn’t dare to go in directly. Instead, she looked at gate of the yard with her head and saw several shirtless men. She lowered her head awkwardly and whispered, “Hello…”
Suddenly, the soft and tender female voice surprised several big men, and they looked at each other.
Then one of them hurriedly pulled his clothes, and went to the gate of the yard. Seeing a pretty girl, he stammered: “Yes, what’s the matter?”
Su Jiao Jiao handed the thermos forward and pulled out a smile. “My father asked me to send you this mungbean soup. It’s cold. Drink it. I’ll come get it later.”
Zhang Zhuang took over the thermos pot, but he didn’t respond. Jiang An, another young man with a more flexible mind, had put on his clothes and stopped Su Jiao Jiao who wanted to leave with a smile. “It’s the future sister-in-law. Thank you so much for your trouble. How can you go like this? Come and sit here. You’re tired, have a rest first.”
“No need.” Su Jiao Jiao shook her head quickly.
“You could go out once the weather cools down. Brother will be distressed if you leave like this.”
“What? Future sister-in-law? ”
The other three were surprised. The other two in the yard looked at Song Qingshang subconsciously.
Song Qingshang was also stunned. It had been five days since he came back. He hadn’t seen Su Jiao Jiao, but now she had come?
But before Zhang Zhuang reacted, Li Ma said, “Good sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please come in quickly!” After that, he yelled to the other two. “You should put on your clothes quickly. Don’t pollute your sister-in-law’s eyes!”
“Well, come in, sister-in-law. We’re dressed.” The other two also cooperated very well.
They dressed quickly and looked at Song Qingshang. “Brother, sister-in-law is here. I’ll give you the mungbean soup!”
Song Qingshang's eyes were shining. He pursed his lips and didn’t speak. Let’s see what she wanted to do.
***
The four men were too enthusiastic. Su Jiao Jiao thought it was easy to give something and then leave right away. Unexpectedly, she was surrounded and was forced to go to the yard.
The yard was very small. There were only two rooms and a hall. The only open space was full of various materials. There were several bowls filled with water on the side of the dusty bench.
The four young men stood tall with tanned skin. She couldn’t tell who they were.
But when her eyes fell on the handsome young man sitting in the shade of the corner, she felt her eyes light up.
In his early twenties, though his skin was a little darker, his facial features were much deeper than those of ordinary people. His eyebrows were star like, his nose was high and straight, and his lips were thin and slightly pursed. She felt that he was someone who can’t be reached. With his face structure, his jaw line looked masculine. He was lean and strong.
At this time, he was sitting in the chair, with two newly-made crutches. His legs were bound. The other leg didn’t seem to be seriously injured, so he could still be able to walk with his shoes on.
This should be Song Qingshang. The original owner really had a good eyes-sight!
Su Jiao Jiao took a look at his eyes. In this hot day, she suddenly felt cold. She always felt that his eyes were too sharp and deep, as if trying to uncover her hidden thoughts.
Her heart suddenly thumped, and she asked quickly, [Honghong2, does he know the system? Do you know that I want to complete the task for money?]
How embarrassing it would be if both people knew about the system.
Fortunately, the matchmaker system was powerful and immediately answered: [Only the people bound to systems can see.]
With a sigh of relief, Su Jiao pointed to the thermos pot on the young man’s hand: “My father asked me to bring the mungbean soup.”
Don’t give her the thermos back. The task hadn’t been completed yet!
The other four immediately saw that the situation was not right and hesitated. Jiang An ran to Song Qingshang and asked in a hesitant low voice, “Brother, is this the future sister-in-law?”
Song Qingshang nodded with a strained face.
Several people immediately relaxed, and they smiled. “Let’s hurry to drink, this is the mungbean soup sent by sister-in-law.”
Saying that, Zhang Zhuang had now opened the thermos, the other three quickly handed the bowl over and waited. Soon all of their bowls were filled, Jiang An took the lead in drinking it, and tasted the sweet taste, and was surprised: “Sister-in-law, there is also sugar in this soup?”
Sugar?
Song Qingshang looked at her with caution and suspicion. In his memory, Su Jiao Jiao was reluctant to give sugar water to others.
He still remembered that time last year when he came back, she went out to show off her sugar water. Her two nephews followed her eagerly, thinking that they could taste it. She pushed the kids away directly, regardless of the crying and pitiful faces of the two children, she still said that the sugar could only be given to them if she couldn’t drink it. They were not allowed to ask for it.
That scene was still fresh in his memory.
His comrades-in-arms just tasted a little sweetness and had maybe exaggerated?
Su Jiao was distracted by Song Qingshang's eyes, but she still smiled and nodded to the comrades, “You are tired, drink some more.”
“Thank you so much, sister-in-law!”
“Not tired, not tired.”
“It’s not as tired as our training.”
A few people replied and waved their hands. It looked as if repairing the house was no big deal.
Song Qingshang: “…” Hypocrisy!
She looked at those sweats of the comrades, and her eyes narrowed slightly. She knew for the first time that these brothers were kind and supportive.
Keenly aware of the coolness behind Jiang An’s back, he saw that the eldest brother looked unhappy. He subconsciously looked at his beautiful sister-in-law, and quickly responded with a dry smile and said, “Brother, I’m sorry. I was thinking of myself. You can drink it too.”
He poured a bowl for Song Qingshang and sent it to him.
Facing the enthusiasm of his comrades, Song Qingshang paused, and said to the woman who listened to his comrades’ boasting. “Thank you.”
The voice was hard. Su Jiao almost thought that he was collecting debts. She wanted to say ‘Don’t drink if you don’t want it.’ Anyways this soup was for his comrades, not him.
But Song Qingshang then took a big sip of the mungbean soup. Unexpectedly, when his tongue touched the mung bean soup, he immediately tasted the sweetness, which made him feel a little bit tired. The soup was also cold.
After a sip, he felt comfortable and the heat in his body dissipated.
It’s just….there’s really sugar?!
Song Qingshang's hands who held the soup stiffened, and his ears turned a bit hot.
After Song Qingshang finished the mungbean soup, the lovely voice of the matchmaker system rang again: [Task 1 is completed, the reward has been issued. The host can pick it up at any time.]
Su Jiao Jiao bent her eyes and smiled. She looked calm as she waited for them to drink the mungbean soup. She then placed back the leftover mungbean soup, and then hurriedly left with the thermos pots in her arms, “I will send it to my father, mother and brothers. I’ll go first.”
“Sister-in-law, go slowly!” Several young men said with a smile.
Su Jiao Jiao nodded and ran out in small steps carefully.
Behind her, she could hear their voice teasing Song Qingshang.
After leaving the house, Su Jiao Jiao walked on the road alone. Her eyes were full of smiles, her face was bright and lively, mainly because she found that she had two yuan in her pocket! The money in this era!
She really depended on the system to get rich! She doesn’t need to worry about living a hard life anymore!
After walking for a while, Su Jiao Jiao restrained her joy and sent the warm pot to her parents: “Mom and Dad, come and have some water.”
Sun Fang was working when she heard her daughter “It’s hot outside. What are you doing under the sun? Be careful, you’ll get sunburned.”
Su Jiao Jiao laughed and poured a lot of mungbean soup into her thermos pot, and said, “It’s okay. I made mungbean soup. Mom, would you like to taste it?”
“It tastes good” Sun Fang drank a mouthful and was reluctant to part with it. She had some heartache for the sweetness. “Why did you add so much sugar? That sugar is all for you. Don’t waste it. Just add a little.”
As soon as Su Jiao’s chin lifted, she said in a delicate voice, “It’s okay. It’s for parents to drink!”
“Oh, my daughter is so filial!” Sun Fang was so flattered that she forgot the cold war with her husband. She took Su Zheng yang and said excitedly, “Husband, you must take care of our Jiao Jiao carefully!”
“Here you are, Jiao Jiao. Take it and buy some sugar.” Su Zheng yang dug out five cents from his pocket and handed it to his daughter.
The original owner would definitely take it, so Su Jiao didn’t refuse.
She poured enough mungbean soup for the two old people. Su Jiao took the remaining half pot and went to find her two brothers and sisters in law. They had a little less left.
Zhang Qian was shrewd. She was not satisfied with the sweet mungbean soup. Her eyes fell into the extra thermos pot and was not happy. “Jiao Jiao, how can there be another kettle? For whom?”
Su Jiao Jiao laughed and poured mungbean soup to her two brothers. Without concealing it, she casually said, “It was sent to Song Qingshang.”
Zhang Qian paused and doubted, “Are you really going to marry?”
She was anxious. If she married, wouldn’t she need a bedroom good for two for her and her husband?
“Jiao Jiao, don’t forget. Song Qingshang's legs are broken, and you will have to suffer if you marry. Listen to your sister-in-law and. Plead with father-in-law to cancel your marriage…”
“Stop talking.” Su Jianhua frowned and interrupted his wife’s words. He was not happy and said, “It’s none of your business if Jiao Jiao marries. Don’t worry about them!”
“What do you mean, Su Jianhua? I’m worried for you. If she really married Song Qingshang, you’ll raise her later…” Zhang Qian immediately went back with a black face.
The second brother and the second sister-in-law looked at each other. They hurriedly drank up, ran to take out some of the remaining mungbean soup, and drank it. They were indifferent to this.
Su Jiao Jiao smiled: “Don’t worry, first sister-in-law. I won’t let my brother raise me. I’ll let my parents raise me, so no one can say anything, don’t worry!”
What do you mean?
Really, mother and father were old already and they still had to raise these two adults!
Zhang Qian’s face glared at her, held the cup angrily, and left.
Su Jianhua glanced at her sister awkwardly and whispered, “Don’t mind, your sister-in-law didn’t mean it.”
Su Jiao quietly waited for her second brother and his wife to finish eating the last mungbean soup and walked away with the pots.
After only two steps, she heard Su Jian Jun murmur. “Big brother’s wife is stupid. Little sister can’t eat much, just let the parents raise them.”
Li Xiu, the second sister-in-law, lightly punched her husband, and treated him as a fool. “Little sister is enough, now there is another brother-in-law. It’s normal for first sister-in-law to get angry. They are all stupid. Ah.the bottom one of this mungbean soup is the sweetest. It gave me more energy. Come on, let’s do more work.”
“Good!”
They cheered each other up and ran to work bravely.
Su Jiao Jiao: “…Poof!”
***
Su Jiao Jiao didn’t take the words of her eldest brother and sister-in-law into her heart. Anyway, after she got married, she would separate with her parents. She also occupied the original identity, so in return, she would give them retirement.
As for the two elder brothers of the original owner, in fact, they didn’t need to care. They have their own families, and meeting them in the future would gradually lessen.
She walked briskly to the house, but was blocked mid-way.
It was Yu Chunhao, the original owner’s ambiguous lover, who blocked her.
The original owner’s vision was really good. Song Qingshang looked very good. His skin was a little dark, but his facial features were beautiful and three-dimensional, which was totally different from the original owner’s memory.
Yu Chunhao was also very handsome. His single eyelid and melon seed face were delicate, and his skin was white and clean. He also wore glasses and white shirt.
Su Jiao Jiao frowned and said, “What’s the matter?”
[Ding, task 2, as a wife, we need to keep distance with other members of the opposite sex with bad intentions. Please refuse Yu Chunhao’s offer! Reward a bag of wheat flour!]
Her eyes were not so unfriendly.
It’s worth a bag of wheat flour.
Yu Chunhao didn’t expect to meet Su Jiao Jiao here. He was stunned.
Yesterday, he didn’t elope with her on purpose. Although he wanted to leave the village, he didn’t have much money to go to the city in his condition. How could he want to leave?
Who knew that she also didn’t leave?
He suddenly felt a little uneasy for fear that she would hate him because of this.
It’s just that he had a hard life here. His family wouldn’t give him any financial support. The family was in good conditions and they lived comfortably. Anyway, this was a woman who already had a fiancee, so it’s fine to get together and just break up.
As he expect, he saw Su Jiao Jiao's impatient look. His heart was thumping. Su Jiao was arrogant and self-willed. Although she was cute when she was with him, there were many legends about her in the village.
Just when he was worried, he saw her looked milder, and made her face looked beautiful than before. He felt relieved and had a little more patience, “Jiao Jiao, don’t be angry, I -“
In the middle of his good words, she interrupted him. “Don’t call me by name, you are not qualified! Please call me comrade Su!”
Yu Chunhao froze for a moment: “Ah?”
He almost thought that he had heard it wrong, but looked at the eyes that used to be shy and timid. At this time, he had no emotion and his heart sank slightly. He was afraid that she would retaliate.
Su Jiao looked at him scornfully and said in a low voice, “Please stay away from me in the future. Since we broke up, we have nothing to do with each other. Otherwise, I’ll let you know how to write regret!”
When she finished, the voice of the matchmaker system immediately sounded: [Ding, the task is completed! Rewards have been issued and can be claimed at any time.]
Get the reward, and Su Jiao will go.
“Wait a minute!” Yu Chunhao stopped her subconsciously, and his eyes fell on the rosy delicate face. His eyes moved slightly, and he felt reluctant.
This should have been his wish.
After all, the village said that Song Qingshang came back to marry Su Jiao Jiao, and she didn’t want to marry this man. It seemed that one day without seeing her made her even more beautiful. There was a strange aura on her. His heart felt she was interesting now.
“Jiao Jiao, I know you are angry. Can you listen to me for an explanation?” Yu Chunhao smiled, pushed his eyes and said: “I didn’t go yesterday because I want to be with you one day, once we elope…”
Su Jiao Jiao looked at him strangely. This was the move that made the original owner astray after her marriage?
She gave a cold laugh, and left.
“Jiao Jiao! I—” Yu Chunhao saw that she insisted on leaving, and became more reluctant. He reached out to pull her. However, when he touched her arm, he saw that she lifted her foot then kicked him.
“Oh!” A sharp pain was felt in the middle of his soft legs. His face paled with sweat dripping on his forehead. He fell on the ground and curled up his body. At the same time, he didn’t forget to look at her in shock,
Su Jiao Jiao snorted coldly and quickly left without looking at him.
Want to seduce her? No way!
Su Jiao Jiao thought that the relationship between the original owner and Yu Chunhao.
He had never promised her. It was the original owner who was in a hurry and didn’t bother to think carefully. Who knew that this man didn’t want to get together seriously and just intended to break up with her? It’s good to be clear.
This was too much!
However, after two steps, she heard the voice of the matchmaker system in her mind and cheered: [Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden task: kick the slag boy! The task reward is a can of wheat milk essence which has been distributed and can be accessed by the host at any time!]
Su Jiao Jiao: “!!!”
She was excited for a while, and was dazed. She asked: “If I go back and kick a few more times, would there be another reward?
Matchmaker System: […..no more.]
Su Jiao Jiao squeezed her lips in regret, but it’s also good to have one more good thing. The malted milk was expensive.
……
Su Jiao Jiao continued to leave while carrying the two warm pots.
Behind a house at the entrance of the village, the two young people who happened to see this scene shrunk their legs together, looked at each other, and both eyes reflected fear.
“It seems that my sister-in-law is very powerful. I don’t know if brother Qingshang can hold her down.,” Jiang An said with a sigh
“Should It…be ok?” Zhang Zhuang was not sure.
They were going to buy food in the town. After all, the comrades including Song Qingshang didn’t know how to cook. This was the only way to eat. Unexpectedly, they saw such a scene at the entrance of the village.
When we go back later, we must tell brother Qingshang to scare him!
After they had thought about it in their hearts, they looked at each other and then at the young man who was still lying on the ground. With a grim smile, Jiang An said, “Go?”
Zhang Zhuang nodded decisively: “Go!” Dare to seduce my sister-in-law, how could we not teach him a lesson?!”
Later, Yu Chunhao, who had been on the ground for a while, was about to get up, when he saw two young men standing in front of him. He was about to ask them what’s the matter when he saw a fist heading his way, “This is a lesson! Don’t seduce my sister-in-law!”
“Yes! When you see my sister-in-law, take a detour!”
“Woooo–” Yu Chunhao, who was beaten so hard that he couldn’t fight back, sobbed twice and then simply held his head to bear it. When the other side had enough fighting, he looked up in a daze, and asked bitterly, “Who is your sister-in-law?”
Zhang Zhuang and Jiang An: “….Mother1, he doesn’t even know who sister-in-law is, and he dared to seduce? Beat him again!”
