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.

Song Xi slowly lifted a piece of cloth under his shining gaze.

What catches your eye is a stack of gross tickets.

One, two, five...... There are also coins of one and two cents......

Song Xi was a little surprised, raised his head to meet Zhou Yi's smiling gaze, very surprised, "You didn't mean ......"

"Daughter-in-law, are you still a high school student, don't you understand the truth that wealth is not exposed? If I let the people in the village know that I have so much money, do you think I will have a good life? The borrower and the thief can trample on the threshold, my money doesn't want to be used by outsiders, I just 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 you meat buns to eat, how about it? ”

Zhou Yi stretched out his hand and scraped the tip of Song Xi's nose, he was satisfied with this little daughter-in-law! You can do anything for your little daughter-in-law.

Then Zhou Yi counted the money in front of Song Xi again.

There were two hundred and thirty-two six and a half cents.

In this era when the annual balance of the family is ten or twenty yuan, it is rare for him to have so much savings alone.

Zhou Yi took out two six dimes and five cents, and handed the remaining two hundred and thirty yuan to Song Xi very solemnly, "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 a little, "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, and I'm afraid it will take a long time to recover her health.

"Then when I need to use the money, I will ask my daughter-in-law to get it, and my daughter-in-law will collect the money, so that I can 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.

Anyway, it's much, much better than most of the men she knew before.

Few of her relatives, young ones, were willing to hand over their wages to their wives for safekeeping.

"Then I'll trouble you to find a place to hide first, lest someone steal it when we're not at home."

Song Xi handed the biscuit box containing the money back to Zhou Yi, and acquiesced to Zhou Yi's request - to take care of the money for him!

Because of her poverty, she was a little anxious.

Unexpectedly, this man gave her such a surprise.

Now I have more than 200 yuan, so I don't have to worry too much about it for the time being.

You can plan for the future slowly.

Zhou Yi was about to hide the biscuit box in a secret compartment under the bed.

Suddenly remembered that the little daughter-in-law hurriedly entered the door, and the Song family didn't even prepare a new dress for her.

He was going to take another twenty dollars from it, but the next second he gave up on the idea.

This money is given to the little daughter-in-law for safekeeping, that is, the little daughter-in-law's money.

Since you want to buy new clothes for your little daughter-in-law, you have to use your own money to buy them to show your sincerity.

Besides, the next time I take my little daughter-in-law to the commune, the main purpose is to give my little daughter-in-law a review.

How could he leave his little daughter-in-law alone in the hospital and go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy clothes by himself.

What should I do if my little daughter-in-law is taken away in the hospital?

So when I go to the commune alone, I will buy new clothes for my little daughter-in-law.

This can also surprise the little daughter-in-law.

Song Xi didn't know that Zhou Yi had thought so much in her heart, and she fell asleep again after a while.

When she woke up again, the whole world was dark, Song Xi was a little scared, so she shouted, "Is there anyone?" Anyone? ”

Song Xi didn't know what her new husband's name was, and she didn't remember to ask him during the day.

Now let her open her mouth to call him, she really doesn't know what to shout.

After struggling for a long time, Song Xi spoke again, "Comrade, sir, Xianggong, where are you?" Why is it so dark in the house? ”

Because no one has paid attention to her, Song Xi has changed several titles.

"Husband...... What about the lights? What about the lights? Song Xi patted the bed board and made a sound.

A moment later, a faint light appeared at the door of the room.

Zhou Yi held a kerosene lamp and stood there with a nervous expression, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?" ”

"It's so dark in the house, where are the lights on?" Song Xi was shy and wanted to cover his face.

She even called 'husband' to a stranger.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi didn't ask much, otherwise she really didn't know how to explain.

Seeing the kerosene lamp in Zhou Yi's hand, Song Xi realized.

There is no electricity in this era, and as a person from later generations, Song Xi doesn't like days without electricity.

Zhou Yi put the kerosene lamp on the table next to the bed, sat down beside Song Xi, and reached out to hold Song Xi's soft little hand, "Daughter-in-law, what did you just call me?" Daughter-in-law, you approve of me, don't you? ”

It turned out that this man had heard everything, and he just waited for her to shout 'husband' before showing up.

Hmph, what a bad stomach.

Song Xi retracted her hand, she recognized a yarn.

It's only been a day of contact, and I recognize, is she so sloppy?

As a person from the afterlife, can't you keep your eyes open and look for your husband?

"Daughter-in-law, in the future, when you are outside, you can call me Zhou Yi or Brother Yi, Brother Zhou is fine, at home, you can call me husband."

Zhou Yi pulled Song Xi's retracted hand over again, patting it gently, not to mention how excited he was.

"It's hot!" Song Xi glared at Zhou Yi and retracted his hand again.

Holding her hand in this big summer, the palms of my hands are sweaty, I am really embarrassed.

"Hungry, huh? We went out for dinner. Zhou Yi picked up Song Xi and came to the osmanthus tree in the courtyard.

He put Song Xi on the chair, then turned back to the stove house and brought dinner.

Song Xi's chicken soup and stewed soft chicken thighs have no bones at all.

And Zhou Yi's own is the meatless parts of chicken soup and chicken neck and chicken feet, as well as two steamed large potatoes.

Seeing Song Xileng there, Zhou Yi urged, "Daughter-in-law, what are you looking at?" Hurry up and eat, I stewed half a chicken today, and half a chicken is iced with well water, and I will continue to stew for you tomorrow, what you eat, don't think too much, and don't save me for me, you are my daughter-in-law, raising you is what I should do and must do. ”

"Why do you keep emphasizing this?" Song Xi was a little embarrassed by Zhou Yi, and hurriedly lowered his head to drink the soup.

I didn't expect that the rough man of this era would have such a mental awareness.

But she kept emphasizing this matter, which made her ears almost calloused.

After eating and drinking, Zhou Yi did not rush to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but sat under the osmanthus tree with Song Xi to enjoy the coolness.

The kerosene lamp on the table swayed slightly in the hot summer evening breeze.

Song Xi noticed that the rough man opposite had been looking at him deeply, and his heart was suddenly beating like thunder, both nervous and scared.

Now that she looks so weak, if someone else does something to her, it will really be easy.

She couldn't resist at all, could she not be afraid?
