PFC Chapter 352 Avoidance
Chapter 352 Avoidance
The two of them walked down the mountain chatting and laughing. The girl they had been talking about before was surrounded by a group of her peers and was walking towards the reservoir. No one knew what they were going to do. Anyway, there were many of them and they were all teenagers, so nothing should happen to them.
After returning to the educated youth site, Jiang Yu began to sort out the pile of firewood, while Wu Aiqing simply looked through the herbs he had picked, sorted them and arranged them, then went into the house to make dinner.
After Jiang Yu had stacked the firewood neatly, he also went into the house to sort it out.
She was going to boil some water for a bath, as she had been in a rush to wash up recently. Now that she had finally solved a difficult problem, she naturally wanted to relax.
To boil water, clean the wooden barrel first, then increase the fire and continue to boil a lot of hot water. As for the bathtub filled with hot water, place it in the space to keep it warm, so that when you take a bath later, it will still be boiling hot!
The room quickly became hot because of the stove. She put down the tongs in her hand and went to prepare the clothes she would wear after taking a shower.
When the last pot of water boiled, Jiang Yu wrapped himself in a big cotton-padded jacket, picked up the bucket, and hurried to the front yard to fetch two large buckets of cold water. Then he locked the door and started taking a bath.
After a hot bath, it was dark outside. Jiang Yu tidied the room again, poured the water in the pot into the thermos, then took out a cabbage, an egg and two sausages from the space, and diced them and sliced them. She planned to have egg fried rice with vegetables and sausages in the next few nights.
Pour oil into the pan, pour in the sausage when the oil is hot, wait until the fat in the sausage seeps out slightly, then add the beaten eggs, stir-fry until the eggs are solidified, then beat them again with a spatula, add the cabbage and continue, finally pour in the lunch and stir-fry quickly.
Add salt and a little soy sauce to enhance the flavor before serving. After a while, the ginger fish dinner is served on the kang table.
She made herself a cup of red date and ginger tea to moisten her mouth and began to inhale it violently.
Xue Li returned to the educated youth point only after Jiang Yu had finished her meal. Chen Jinghan had obviously gone to the intersection to wait for her, and the two walked back together.
Jiang Yu stuck her head out and saw Chen Jinghan following her with Xue Li's bicycle in her hand. She couldn't help but reveal a strange expression. It was hard to tell who it was directed at, but it was meaningful anyway.
Xue Li took out the key and opened the door. When he saw her coming out, he paused for a moment and then said, "I brought some food back. I'll share some with you."
"Okay." Jiang Yu glanced at Chen Jinghan proudly, and received an indignant look back from her.
Xue Li opened the door, put down the backpack, then stepped aside to let Chen Jinghan put the bicycle in.
"Then I'll go back." Chen Jinghan opened her mouth, but could only say this in the end.
Xue Li nodded, and then said to him in a very normal tone, "You don't have to wait next time. There aren't many people along the way, so nothing will happen." She also felt that she was fully prepared. If someone did something evil, she could just put the person into the space and take their life. The appearance of Chen Jinghan was actually an obstacle for her to take action.
Chen Jinghan was stunned for a moment, and finally could only nod helplessly.
It's not that he didn't understand Xue Li's obvious avoidance, but he was unwilling to accept it and didn't want it to end so easily. He wanted to keep trying. If he could save the relationship, that would be great. If not, he wouldn't regret it.
As for how long he can continue this kind of dedication, it depends on his own perseverance.
Xue Li waited until Chen Jinghan entered the room before closing the door. Looking at Jiang Yu who was staring at him, he gave a wry smile, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll light the fire first, wait for me." After all, it was still chilly at night, and it would be easier to sleep if the kang was warm.
Jiang Yu sat on the edge of Xue Li's kang and looked at the furnishings in her room. Many things that shouldn't be there were gone. The thick quilts were neatly folded against the wall. There was only a mirror and Ya Shuang on the kang cabinet. She seemed to be gradually integrating into this era, and the mistakes were slowly decreasing. Although the change came a little late, it was better than really suffering.
Xue Li skillfully lit a fire and boiled water, then clapped his hands, picked up the backpack, walked to the kang, and took out the things inside one by one.
There were daily necessities such as soap and clam oil, as well as snacks such as date paste cakes and shallot cakes. Xue Li also put a can of yellow peaches next to the ginger fish.
"This scallion crisp is a sweet and salty biscuit. It's not sold in the commune's supply and marketing cooperative, so I brought a pack back for you to try. I think it's quite delicious." As she spoke, she opened two packs of snacks, swapped a few pieces between the two sides, and rewrapped them.
Jiang Yu watched her busying around and asked her if she had eaten dinner.
"I had eaten at the commune when I came back, and I also packed some vegetarian buns. Two?" Xue Li said as he was about to take the lunch box from the backpack.
Jiang Yu stopped him and said, "No, no, I still have some buns. Did you forget that I bought a lot last time?"
"Oh, yes." Xue Li stopped what he was doing, then sighed again, and finally sat down, looking a little annoyed.
"Business is not successful?" Seeing this, Jiang Yu guessed in his heart whether she was upset about the business or about the things between her and Chen Jinghan. However, there was nothing to say about the latter. The two of them held their own opinions, and no one could persuade them. What else could he do?
Xue Li shook his head. "Business is very good. I went to the city to explore the market today. I will go again in a few days. If possible, I will double the delivery volume next time."
"That's really good." Although Jiang Yu didn't know how much money she could make from selling melon seeds and peanuts, it sounded like the profit should be quite a lot, otherwise Xue Li wouldn't have put in so much effort. "I'll help you fry the peanuts then." Anyway, it was just a matter of turning the drum twice, no effort.
Xue Li hummed, "I'll pay you~"
"No need, you've brought me so many things. If you give me more money, you might lose money." Jiang Yu quickly refused.
"How can I lose money? No way. You helped me roast the nuts and I borrowed the stove from you, so of course I have to pay you." Xue Li was not the kind of person who couldn't tell good from bad. If it weren't for Jiang Yu's stove, she wouldn't have been able to start her own business so easily. You know, frying those things is very tiring.
Jiang Yu clicked her tongue and said, "Then why don't you buy the stove? I don't want any wages. It's just something I do conveniently." She knew that these friends always wanted to help her make money, but she was not short of money. The ill-gotten gains in the space were enough for her to buy several houses, and with those jewels, she felt like a rich woman.
Xue Li felt helpless seeing that she insisted. Since she didn't want money, he would use things to make up for it, such as buying food and daily necessities. Anyway, he couldn't let his little sister suffer any loss!
