Chapter 69: A slap in the face.
Ji Huai'an, who gave up plastic shoes, turned around and went to the place next door to sell fabrics to buy a whole piece of oilcloth, and then left the supply and marketing cooperatives with Ruan Jiaojiao.
"Do you think those shoes look good?"
Ruan Jiaojiao asked suddenly.
Ji Huaian reacted for a few seconds and nodded, "It's good-looking." ”
He didn't know why Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly asked him this, and said, "Do you like it too?" But those shoes are so stiff that your feet will hurt when you wear them. I'll find someone next time to see if there's a softer ......"
Before Ji Huai'an could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ruan Jiaojiao's raised voice: "Don't!" No! Not my favorite type......"
She changed her words and hurriedly changed the topic, "Then will I go back now?" The sun is out of sight. ”
Ji Huai'an looked up at the sky and asked Ruan Jiaojiao's opinion: "Go buy another piece of meat, okay?" You don't seem to have much appetite at noon, and you haven't eaten a few pieces of meat. Why don't you change your approach at night, don't eat braised pork, and change to a different one? ”
It was stuffy and hot at noon, and Ruan Jiaojiao really didn't have much appetite.
Ji Huai'an finished eating the rest of the dishes, and he didn't even think about giving Ruan Jiaojiao something to eat at the next meal.
Ruan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, reminiscing about the taste of noon, which was indeed very good.
The braised pork is made in the way of Dongpo meat, stewed in a casserole, and wine is also put in, the fat meat is not fat at all, the lean meat is not firewood, and the mouth is full of soft and glutinous gelatinous texture.
"Okay, let's still braised pork, I want to eat it."
got Ruan Jiaojiao's answer, Ji Huai'an drove her to the agricultural and sideline food station.
The agricultural and sideline food station sells grain, eggs, vegetables and other things, of course, there are also special people in it who are responsible for collecting vegetables and eggs from the villagers.
The pork stall is not inside the food station, but has a large long table at the side entrance.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at the long table that was empty and empty, and the flies circling and flying nearby, and did not step forward, but stayed by the bicycle and watched Ji Huai'an go over.
If you want good meat, everyone relies on grabbing, and if you go late, you can only buy two bones at most.
But Ji Huaian knows the unspoken rules here.
He walked up and said a few words to the meat seller, and bought the best pork belly from him for three times the price.
Although it is three times the price, but the meat ticket is also confiscated, and the price is not much different from the black market, and the main thing is that the meat is really good.
After buying everything, Ji Huaian hung his things on the handlebars, and the oilcloth was across the front bar, and took Ruan Jiaojiao on the way back.
…
Back in the familiar little mud room, Ji Huai'an put down Ruan Jiaojiao, unlocked the door, and went out with his things.
Ruan Jiaojiao came to the room where Ji Huai'an was sleeping, bent down and picked up the pillow on the quilt.
She didn't do anything that day, but she was so tired.
Especially after waking up, my body was already sore, and it was even more uncomfortable after the bumps of the bicycle.
put Ji Huai'an's pillow on the recliner, and slowly squinted over with the evening breeze.
…
Ji Huai'an didn't come back empty-handed, he held a brand new bamboo mat in his arms and a copper iron in his hand.
After discovering that Ruan Jiaojiao was really asleep, he took a piece of his own clothes and covered her with them, and then went to the back of the house to collect the clothes lightly.
After taking his clothes back, he first went to the small kitchen of the hall to boil the bath water, and during the boiling of the water, he carefully swept the room where Ruan Jiaojiao slept, spread oiled paper on the ground connected to the bed, then laid a new mat, and finally wiped the mat with a towel.
If there are no suitable slippers, then he creates an environment where he does not need to wear slippers.
Jiaojiao can step on the ground directly after taking a bath, and you don't have to worry about getting your shoes wet or getting your feet dirty.
Outside, the sky had turned a deep blue, and the hut was dark.
Ji Huai'an just packed everything.
There was a gust of wind blowing through the hall outside.
There seemed to be something hanging at the foot of the bed, and under this gust of wind, the pole collided with the pillar at the foot of the bed twice, making two "clicks, clicks" twice.
Because of the lack of light, Ji Huai'an didn't notice that something was hanging here before.
He glanced at it, but only vaguely saw two pieces of fabric, and he didn't know what they were.
Just as he was hesitating to light the candles in the house first, Ji Huai'an heard the click of a recliner at the door of the hut, and hurriedly raised his feet and walked out.
"Jiaojiao? Awake? Is it OK to go to bed early after eating? ”
Ruan Jiaojiao did move and opened her eyes.
However, she was not fully conscious, and her eyes looked at the sky in the distance with empty eyes, and she did not reply.
Ji Huai'an was very patient, and he didn't rush to ask again, but still squatted beside her recliner and looked into the distance together.
After a long time, Ruan Jiaojiao coughed, her voice was a little hoarse, "I want to drink malt milk essence." ”
Ji Huai'an didn't say a word, immediately brewed a cup of malt milk essence with warm water and handed it to her, and whispered: "I'll light the candles in the house first, okay?" ”
"Hmm" Ruan Jiaojiao held the slightly warm enamel cup in both hands, sniffed the taste in the cup, and responded in a low voice.
The malt milk essence in the enamel cup has a milky aroma mixed with the smell of wheat, which smells good.
Bowing her head and taking a shallow sip, Ruan Jiaojiao was a little disappointed.
She originally thought that the gold medal drink that was popular in this era should taste very good.
But this is not the case, the malt milk essence tastes very milky, but the sugar taste is quite heavy, like a cup of empty milk just drunk into white water, and then add some sugar, the taste is strange.
Ji Huai'an lit seven or eight candles in the house and barely lit them up.
Inadvertently, he caught another glimpse of something hanging at the end of the bed.
After a hurried glance, he snapped back his gaze, and the back of his hand was burned with candle oil.
"Ji Huai'an, drink it, I can't drink it!"
Ruan Jiaojiao shouted Ji Huai'an drippingly, her voice was still a little hoarse just now, but after coughing twice, she moistened her throat again, and it was much better.
Ji Huai'an responded, took the cup from Ruan Jiaojiao's hand and didn't speak, and walked straight to the hall, his steps were still a little hurried.
It's weird......
No matter what Ji Huai'an does, he will answer her.
Ruan Jiaojiao squinted at him and disappeared into the door of the hall, turning her head to look at the room where she was sleeping.
Jiaojiao Ruan: ......
Her underwear hanging at the end of the bed!!
She sat up straight and tried to put it away.
But after thinking about it, she slowly lay back again.
Anyway, I've seen it all, and the black lace model is still pretty good.
But then again, she didn't feel anything, why didn't Ji Huaian seem to be scared lightly.
Good family women and men......
Ruan Jiaojiao's mind suddenly popped up with this word.
Amused by her peculiar thoughts, she burst out laughing.
Ji Huai'an hid behind the stove and lit the fire.
Compared to the red-hot wood in the stove, he was not much better now, and his mind was full of thoughts about what he had just seen, and he could not get rid of it.
Hearing Ruan Jiaojiao's laughter outside, he came to his senses, raised his hand and slapped himself, then took the water and replaced it with a bucket.
