Chapter 35: He's Gone
When she got rich, Xu Jing went to buy and buy again, and when she came out with a large bag from the supply and marketing cooperative, she made many people envious.
Carrying her things, she happily returned home.
Xu Jing thought that the old Song family's house should be almost repaired today, and it was just right to discuss with Song Dongquan and let him go home to live tonight.
She remembered that the man had said before that he would not agree to a divorce until she fended for herself. And now, she is completely able to support herself, so if she talks to him about the divorce, he should no longer object.
Thinking about it this way, Xu Jing was in a better mood, brushed the pot to boil water, and put a lot of newly bought pork ribs in the pot today.
After the large pork ribs are stewed, add some vegetables and potatoes, and then cover them with a white flour flatbread, and when it comes out of the pan, the flatbread will absorb the oil and juice in the dish, and the taste is amazing!
This is a very common and delicious specialty in the north, one pot out!
Xu Jing thought that today was the last day she entertained Song Dongquan anyway, and she made money again, just so that her grandfather and Song Dongquan could have a good meal and satisfy their hunger.
Xu Jing quickly stewed the vegetables, she sat on the pony by the stove, looking at the pot while lighting the fire, the big iron pot was also very powerful, and soon there was a bubbling sound.
On the kang, Old Man Xu watched his granddaughter come back and was busy working and cooking, and his heart blossomed.
He thought that his granddaughter would suddenly become sensible because she was stimulated by falling into the water, but he didn't dare to think that his granddaughter would last a few days. But now, the granddaughter has really changed, and she doesn't complain at all about washing and cooking these days.
The granddaughter has become labor-loving and distressed, and she keeps looking at the door while the fire is burning, obviously waiting for her grandson-in-law!
Before the grandson-in-law left today, he kept looking at his granddaughter's room. Now that the young couple has a relationship, they are not afraid that they will not have a good life in the future.
Old Man Xu was really happy, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.
The big iron pot simmered for more than half an hour, and the aroma of meat came out from the edge of the pot, and the whole yard could smell it.
Seeing that the meal was ready, Song Dongquan still didn't come back.
Xu Jing craned her neck and looked in the direction of the door, a little strange, why is Song Dongquan so late today? According to the time of day, he should be home by this time.
Soon, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, Xu Jing stood up happily and went out, but when she opened the door, she found that the person outside was not Song Dongquan at all, but Song Dongyue.
"Sister!"
As soon as Song Dongyue saw Xu Jing, he hurriedly called people happily.
Xu Jing didn't care about his title, but asked a little surprised, "Why are you here?" ”
"My brother can come, why can't I come?" The smile on Song Dongyue's face froze, and then he said a little depressedly.
"Don't you hate me the most? This is called sister again, and I came to see me again, I feel furious in my heart, and I am really worried about my house. ”
Xu Jing looked at Song Dongyue funny, this guy was shouting to set fire to her before, but she didn't expect her to buy a bag of fruit dan peel and buy him, he was really a little kid.
Song Dongyue blushed, and said loudly with a stalk around his neck: "I won't make a mess again!" My brother has already criticized and educated me, you are not allowed to hold grudges! ”
Xu Jing was originally teasing him, looking at Song Dongyue's embarrassed appearance, he only felt more funny.
She couldn't hold back, and she burst out laughing.
In the setting sun, the pale golden light shone on the girl's round face, making her laughter warm as well. Song Dongyue was stupid unconsciously.
"What are you looking for me?"
Xu Jing saw that Song Dongyue was stunned, and couldn't help asking.
Song Dongyue came back to his senses, "Oh, my brother asked me to come, my brother asked me to tell you that he has gone far away, you don't have to leave him food for the past two days, and you don't have to wait for him." ”
"He's gone far away, where has he gone?"
"It was said that he had a comrade-in-arms, something happened at home, and his comrade-in-arms couldn't come back for the time being, so my brother happened to be on vacation and went over to take a look."
Xu Jing bit her lip, it turned out that the man had gone out.
Obviously, Song Dongquan would not come back, she should be happy, but she couldn't be happy in her heart at this time.
I can't say it, it's just a strange feeling.
Didn't the man always suspect her, stay by his side to spy on her, and left quietly.
Forget it, it's better not to come back, she still has one less person to serve.
But the ribs she just stewed are going to be leftover.
"Okay, I got it."
Xu Jing replied sullenly, and was about to turn around as she spoke, she and her grandfather hadn't eaten yet. But before she could go back, her arm was grabbed.
Xu Jing looked back in surprise, and saw Song Dongyue touching the back of his head with one hand embarrassedly, and said to her with a red face: "Sister, what are you cooking, so fragrant?" ”
There are obviously two words written on that face: I want to eat!
At this time, although the family does not have to worry about eating, it is still impossible to eat meat every day.
Xu Jing smiled and rubbed Song Dongyue's head melon, "I stewed meat, your brother didn't come back, you can stay with me and eat!" ”
Song Dongyue's eyes lit up suddenly, and he pulled Xu Jing and walked into the house, "I knew it was meat as soon as I smelled it, and it was too fragrant!" I haven't eaten meat in a few days, but today I can finally fatten my intestines! ”
"Didn't I send you five catties of meat yesterday?" She's not stingy.
"What do you say, after you left, my mother was afraid that the meat would not be able to be put away, so she refined all the meat into oil, and I didn't give me a bite of the oil residue, she said to keep it for the festival and eat it again!"
Looking at Song Dongyue's childish appearance, Xu Jing smiled and shook her head.
During the meal, Song Dongyue kept telling jokes, which made Old Man Xu laugh.
Xu Jing couldn't help laughing. Song Dongquan is usually dull, cold and doesn't like to talk, but his younger brother is a chatterbox, and it's funny to think about it.
Xu Jing smiled and smiled, and was stunned. Why did she remember the man again?
"Sister, have you lost weight these days?"
Song Dongyue's words brought Xu Jing back to her senses, Xu Jing raised her eyebrows, and was very happy in her heart, "You can see it?" ”
This shows that her weight loss is effective.
"Of course you can see it, you don't know how much fat you used to have on your face, it's all pulled down, that's called an ugly! The belly is also like a hill, bigger than the belly of the old sows raised in the village! And your thighs, the flesh shakes when I walk, and I can't breathe just by looking at you walking! ”
Xu Jing: "......"
"I thank you, shut up."
Xu Jing said, and sandwiched a large piece of pork ribs into Song Dongyue's bowl. Originally, she still wanted to indulge in eating a piece of pork ribs today, but now she doesn't dare to eat more in one bite.
She had to lose weight!
In the next few days, Xu Jing was very busy every day: taking care of her grandfather, exercising, and baking flatbread.
It's a busy day.
But although she was tired, she was also a lot happier when she looked at the scales that were slowly getting smaller on the big scale.
And she walked, no longer panting as hard as before, and her steps were much lighter. Even the clothes on her body were loose and a little out of place.
On this day, Xu Jing went to the tailor's shop to change her clothes and came back, sat under the big tree in the yard to enjoy the shade, and unconsciously thought of Song Dongquan.
Speaking of which, the man hasn't been back for more than a month, and he doesn't know what happened to his comrade's house.
But Xu Jing thought of the words she heard on the mountain before, and felt that Song Dongquan's visit to see his comrades-in-arms was strange.
