Chapter 38
Ruan Qiqi came out of the woodshed, and the captain’s wife said enthusiastically: “Would you like to have some food together? I’ll go fry an egg.”
In the countryside, frying an egg is the most solemn etiquette for entertaining guests, and the tangerine cake is quite a big deal.
“Xiaoxue has prepared the meal, I’ll go home to eat.”
Ruan Qiqi refused, because the food at home was better than the captain’s.
The captain’s wife lit a pine torch for her and stuffed her with a piece of sweet potato scraping, which she had dried before the New Year and sprinkled with tangerine peel and sesame seeds. It tasted very good.
Ruan Qiqi took the sweet potato scraping and went home with a torch.
Sweet potato scraping
“Be careful on the road, walk slowly!”
The captain’s flattering and corny voice came from behind.
And the captain’s wife said: “Did you take the wrong medicine?”
I have never seen my husband be so polite to Ruan Qiqi. Even if he gave her a bag of tangerine cakes, it wouldn’t be so corny, right?
“You know shit. Be polite to Ruan Qiqi and Ruan Xiaoxue in the future, and don’t get involved with Ruan Guiming’s guests. Remember?”
The captain gritted his teeth and warned. He was still unwilling to accept it. Ruan Qiqi was obviously in a dead end, but how could she be revived and even found the deputy battalion commander’s partner.
It’s really unfair!
“What did I get involved with Ruan Guiming’s guests? It was obviously you and Ruan Guiming who got involved, and you only knew how to blame me!”
The captain’s wife snorted unhappily, collected the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash.
“I haven’t finished eating yet, what are you collecting?” The captain roared.
“Go drink the northwest wind at the door!”
The captain’s wife scolded in the kitchen, and the captain immediately became timid and went to the kitchen to pick up the leftovers.
Ruan Qiqi walked home slowly with a torch. The air was filled with the fragrance of wintersweet, which was so fragrant that people were about to get drunk. She went back to the mountain to dig a wintersweet and planted it in the open space in the space.
She pushed open the gate and saw Ruan Xiaoxue and a young boy standing by the patio, whispering to each other, and they looked very intimate.
The patio was at home, open to the sky .
“Your uncle didn’t hit you, did he?”
The boy asked with concern.
“He doesn’t dare. I will fight him to the death!”
Ruan Xiaoxue snorted. Even if her second sister didn’t come back today, she would fight with Ruan Guiming to the death. If someone was killed, she would pay with her life. The house left by her father must not be taken away.
“If they bully you again in the future, you should ask someone to call me. Don’t be stupid and go alone.”
The boy’s voice was very gentle. From the back, he looked tall and thin, and he was very gentle.
Ruan Qiqi thought of him. It was most likely Song Junjie, Ruan Xiaoxue’s childhood sweetheart.
Song Junjie was from Song Village next door. His family was well off. He had three older sisters. He was the youngest son and a premature baby. He was weak and sickly when he was young. His parents were afraid that they couldn’t support him, so they gave him a nickname called Hong Meizi.
Maybe this nickname is really useful. Song Junjie grew up safely and in good health. He is handsome, has fair skin, and is a high school student. He doesn’t look like a rural boy at all.
[In Hunan, there is a custom of giving boys nicknames as “sisters”. Parents of weak little boys will call them “sisters”. It is said that this is to deceive the Ox-Head and Horse-Face and prevent the boy from dying young.] In
the previous life, Ruan Xiaoxue and Song Junjie were childhood sweethearts and had a good relationship. Moreover, because the original body was looking for a son-in-law, Ruan Xiaoxue had no pressure. Song Junjie’s parents also liked her ability and boldness.
The two were originally going to get married when they turned 18, but something happened to the original body.
After the original body jumped into the river and died, Ruan Xiaoxue decided to look for a son-in-law to keep the house. Song Junjie was willing, but his parents strongly opposed it.
He is the only child in the family and his family is well-off, so there is no need for him to be a son-in-law.
Song’s mother even threatened to die. Ruan Xiaoxue also understood Song’s father and mother, and took the initiative to break up. She quickly found a son-in-law from another village, named Yang Weijie, who was tall and strong. There were five brothers in the family. They were so poor that they had to become a son-in-law.
Ruan Xiaoxue was attracted by Yang Weijie’s tall and mighty, thinking that he could intimidate Ruan Guiming’s family, but in fact she attracted a wolf.
Yang Weijie had a bad temper and beat his wife. He even had an affair with Ruan Guiming’s daughter Ruan Qiufang. The two conspired to kill Ruan Xiaoxue and naturally occupied the big tile house.
Half a year after Ruan Xiaoxue’s death, Song Junjie returned home from the army to visit his family. At the beginning, he was so sad that he went to the army to serve. He went home to visit his family and learned about Ruan Xiaoxue’s experience. He was so angry that he beat Yang Weijie severely.
Yang Weijie and Ruan Qiufang, these two bitches, actually wrote letters to the army to complain. Song Junjie was punished. Two years later, he died while performing his mission.
Ruan Qiqi sighed softly. They were a pair of ill-fated mandarin ducks. In this life, she would definitely help the lovers to get married.
“Ahem…”
Ruan Qiqi coughed heavily. The affectionate couple jumped a few steps away in fright, their faces redder than monkeys’ butts. Especially Song Junjie, he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet.
“Has Junjie eaten?”
Ruan Qiqi asked with a smile.
“No, I came to see Xiaoxue and will be back now.”
Song Junjie was fidgeting. He just touched Xiaoxue’s hand and was caught by his second sister. He felt guilty.
Ruan Xiaoxue hesitated to speak. She wanted to keep Song Junjie for dinner. There was meat at home today.
But she still didn’t say anything. With her second sister around, she had to listen to her second sister.
“Let’s eat together. There is meat at home today. Xiaoxue, is the rice you cooked enough? How about cooking more?”
Ruan Qiqi took the initiative to invite. If she didn’t speak, Xiaoxue would be anxious to death.
“That’s enough. I cooked a lot.”
Ruan Xiaoxue smiled happily. When Song Junjie came, she was just washing rice, so she added two more cups of rice.
Ruan Qiqi smiled and went to wash her hands.
Ruan Xiaoxue went to set the dishes happily. She moved the table to the fire pit. She fried four dishes in the evening, lettuce fried with bacon, stir-fried lettuce leaves, leek fried eggs, green garlic fried salted fish. Each dish was piled full, more abundant than during the Chinese New Year.
Song Junjie was still a little embarrassed, and followed him to set the dishes. His handsome and fair face was red. He was a young and handsome boy, and he matched Ruan Xiaoxue very well.
“You eat this. My second sister brought it back from Tanzhou City. It’s delicious.”
Ruan Xiaoxue gave him half of the steamed lotus leaf rice, and also picked up a few sugar-coated cakes for him, and served him a large bowl of rice.
“That’s enough, you eat it.”
Song Junjie wanted to take some back for her. These were all good things, and he wanted Xiaoxue to eat more.
“I just ate a lot, you eat, my family will not be short of money in the future, hehe.”
Ruan Xiaoxue held his hand firmly, her face full of smiles, the flickering firelight of the fire pit reflected on her face, like a flower.
“Junjie, don’t be polite, I brought a lot back, I will go to work in the city in the future, I will have to trouble you to take care of Xiaoxue.”
Ruan Qiqi washed her hands, walked over, and sat down to eat.
“Second sister found a job? Is it in the county?”
Song Junjie was really happy for her.
“It’s in Tanzhou City, my brother-in-law found it for me.”
Ruan Xiaoxue chattered, and from time to time she picked up food for Song Junjie. She was very happy today, like a happy lark.
Song Junjie’s bowl was piled with dishes, and he couldn’t eat them all. He still felt a little bit mysterious now, and the second sister took too big a step.
Ten days ago, the second sister received a call to cancel the engagement, and Xiaoxue ran to him and said she was going to kill He Jianjun, but he persuaded her to stop.
As a result, within ten days, the second sister had a brother-in-law again, and even found a job, which was faster than a rocket.
“Brother-in-law or He Jianjun?”
Song Junjie hesitated for a long time before asking carefully.
