Chapter 4: chicken soup
??Chapter 4 Chicken Soup
??After Song Xi finished drinking the chicken soup, Zhou Yi took out a biscuit box, opened the lid, and handed the biscuit box to Song Xi.
??Under his shining gaze, Song Xi slowly lifted a piece of cloth.
?? What came into view was a stack of ten-cent notes.
?? One cent, two cents, five cents... and coins one cent, two cents...
??Song Xi was a little surprised, she raised her head to meet Zhou Yi's smiling gaze, very surprised, "Didn't you say..."
"Daughter-in-law, you are still a high school student. Don't you understand the principle of not revealing your wealth? If the villagers know that I have so much money, do you think I can still live a good life? Then borrow money and steal money. The threshold is stepped on, I don’t want to use my money for outsiders, I only want to use it for my daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, when we go to the commune, I will go to the big restaurant to buy meat buns for you, how about it?”
?? Zhou Yi stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of Song Xi's nose. He was very satisfied with this little daughter-in-law! You can do anything for your little daughter-in-law.
?? Then Zhou Yi recounted the money inside in front of Song Xi.
?? There are two hundred and thirty-two yuan and sixty-five cents in total.
??In this era when the family has an annual balance of ten or twenty yuan, it is really rare for him to have so much savings alone.
Zhou Yi took out two yuan, sixty-five cents, and solemnly handed over the remaining two hundred and thirty yuan to Song Xi, "Daughter-in-law, I will hand over all the money I earn to you in the future, and you can use it however you want. "
??Song Xi couldn't bear it, "You can take it yourself. You are in good health and can go out often. I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to go out for the time being."
??She knows her body well, and I am afraid it will take a long time to recover.
?? "Then when I need money, I will ask my wife to get it. Only when my wife collects the money can I be full of energy."
??Zhou Yi patted his chest and said with arrogance.
??Song Xi couldn't believe that there was such a person behind this seemingly serious man.
??How should I put it, she is much, much better than most of the men she knew before.
?? Few of her relatives, who are young, are willing to hand over their wages to their wives for safekeeping.
?? "Then please find a place to hide it first, so as not to be stolen when we are not at home."
??Song Xi handed back the biscuit box containing the money to Zhou Yi, acquiescing to Zhou Yi's request - take care of the money for him!
??Because of poverty, she was a little anxious at first.
?? Unexpectedly, this man gave her such a surprise.
?? Now there are more than two hundred yuan, so don't worry too much for the time being.
??You can slowly plan for the future.
?? Zhou Yi was about to hide the biscuit box in a hidden compartment under the bed.
??Suddenly remembered that the little daughter-in-law rushed into the Song family without even preparing a new dress for her.
??He planned to take another twenty yuan from it, but gave up the idea in the next second.
?? This money is given to the young daughter-in-law for safekeeping, that is, the little daughter-in-law's money.
??Since you want to buy new clothes for your daughter-in-law, you have to use your own money to show your sincerity.
?? Besides, the next time I take my daughter-in-law to the commune, the main purpose is to give her a review.
??How could he leave his little daughter-in-law alone in the hospital and go to the supply and marketing agency to buy clothes?
??What should I do if my little daughter-in-law is taken away in the hospital?
??So I still wait until when I go to the commune alone, and then buy new clothes for my daughter-in-law.
?? This can also surprise the little daughter-in-law.
??Song Xi didn't know that Zhou Yi was thinking so much, she fell asleep again after a while.
??When she woke up again, the whole world was in darkness. Song Xi was a little scared, so she shouted, "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"
??Song Xi didn't know the name of her new husband, and she didn't think to ask him during the day.
?? Now let her call him, she really doesn't know what to call.
?? After struggling for a long time, Song Xi said again, "Comrade, sir, Mr. Xianggong, where are you? Why is it so dark in the room?"
??Because no one paid attention to her, Song Xi changed several names.
?? "Husband... Where's the lamp? Where's the lamp?" Song Xi patted the bed board and made a sound.
?? After a while, a faint light appeared at the door of the room.
??Zhou Yi held up a kerosene lamp and stood there nervously, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"
?? "It's so dark in the room, where is the light?" Song Xi wanted to cover her face shyly.
??She actually called 'husband' to a stranger.
?? Fortunately, Zhou Yi didn't ask too much, otherwise she really didn't know how to explain.
??Seeing the kerosene lamp in Zhou Yi's hand, Song Xi realized.
??In this era, there was no electricity. As a person who came from later generations, Song Xi didn't like the days without electricity.
??Zhou Yi put the kerosene lamp on the table beside the bed, sat down beside Song Xi, reached out and held Song Xi's soft little hand, "Daughter-in-law, what did you call me just now? Daughter-in-law, you approve of me, don't you?"
??It turned out that this man heard everything, he just waited for her to call 'husband' before showing up.
??Hmph, what a mess.
??Song Xi withdrew her hand, she recognized the yarn.
?? After only contacting her for a day, she admits, is she that hasty?
??As a person who came from later generations, don’t you have to keep your eyes open when looking for a husband?
?? "Daughter-in-law, you can call me Zhou Yi or Brother Yi, you can call me Zhou Yi when you are outside. At home, you can call me husband."
??Zhou Yi pulled Song Xi's retracted hand back and patted it lightly, not to mention how excited he was.
?? "It's hot!" Song Xi glared at Zhou Yi, then retracted his hand again.
??It's really embarrassing to hold her hand this summer, the palm is sweaty.
?? "Are you hungry? Let's go out for dinner." Zhou Yi picked up Song Xi and went to the osmanthus tree in the courtyard.
??Put Song Xi on the chair, then go back to the kitchen and bring the dinner.
??Song Xi’s dish was chicken soup and stewed soft chicken thighs, without bones at all.
?? Zhou Yi's own is chicken soup, the meatless parts of chicken neck and feet, and two large steamed potatoes.
Seeing Song Xilen there, Zhou Yi urged, "Daughter-in-law, what are you looking at? Eat quickly, I stewed half a chicken today, and the other half is frozen in well water. I will continue to stew it for you tomorrow. You do what you eat, don't think too much about it, and don't worry about it for me, you are my daughter-in-law, raising you is what I should and must do."
?? "Why do you keep emphasizing this matter?" Song Xi was a little embarrassed by Zhou Yi's look, and quickly lowered his head to drink the soup.
?? I didn’t expect the rough men of this era to have such ideological awareness.
??But the constant emphasis on this matter made her ears almost callused.
??After eating and drinking, Zhou Yi was not in a hurry to clean up the dishes, but sat with Song Xi under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree to enjoy the shade.
??The kerosene lamp on the table swayed slightly in the hot summer evening wind.
??Song Xi noticed that the rough man on the opposite side had been looking at him deeply, and his heart was beating like thunder, nervous and frightened.
??Now that she is so weak, if others do something to her, it is really easy.
??She can't resist at all, can she not be afraid?
