Chapter 16 Returning home

Looking at his young wife's eyes as clear as glass, Cui Hejin's expression changed and he said calmly: "Very good."

Hearing Cui Hejin’s words, Jiang Zhiluo smiled with crooked eyebrows.

I thought to myself, it’s fine if he thinks it tastes good.

 Cui Hejin looked at Jiang Zhiluo's happy smile and felt that it was bright and dazzling.

 He calmed down and continued eating.

 The movements are neither hasty nor slow.

After Mrs. Cui ate a large bowl of meatball soup into her stomach, she sighed: "After eating it, my stomach feels a lot more comfortable and my body feels a lot warmer. It's delicious."

“Zhiluo, you can cook well and make delicious food. You can make simple things delicious.”

The scrambled eggs with chives last night were obviously just one egg, but after Zhiluo made it, it always felt like two or three eggs. It looked like a lot.

She herself knew that she was not good at cooking. When she was first exiled here, she couldn't even make a fire. She only learned how to make a fire after learning from the villagers for a long time.

 It’s pretty good if you can cook the food well.

Zhiluo came anyway and had two comfortable meals.

 Even last night’s scrambled eggs with leeks, she had endless recollections.

 Fortunately, the leeks Zhiluo dug up have been planted in the yard, so you can cut them and eat them if you want.

 “As long as mom likes to eat.”

  Seeing that her family members like to eat the food she makes, she also feels a sense of accomplishment.

She was very happy especially when she saw Cui Hejin eating the whole bowl of meatball soup.

 In that life, he was so kind to her, but she didn't even have time to be nice to him.

 In this life, she wants to provide him with everything, and also wants to cook him all kinds of delicious food.

After finishing her meal and packing up her things, Mrs. Cui took out a basket of eggs, two packets of brown sugar and six white flour dumplings from the house, and whispered: "Zhiluo, we don't have anything good at home. , Come back tomorrow, mother has prepared these for you, don’t dislike it.”

Jiang Zhiluo felt sour and said softly: "Mom, these things are already very good, how could I dislike them?"

 The living conditions of the people in the nearby villages are not very good. When they go out to visit relatives, they usually bring a few white flour cakes, which are considered very good things.

 You must know that most people can only eat white rice during the Chinese New Year.

Not to mention that Mrs. Cui also prepared a basket of eggs.

 Not to mention that the two packets of brown sugar are not cheap.

Mrs. Cui also started saving eggs early.

These eggs were left in the house, just thinking that Zhiluo would take them with her when she returned home.

 …

When she returned to the house after taking a shower in the evening, Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Hejin under the candlelight and asked softly: "Will you accompany me to Shanxing Village tomorrow?"

Her parents live in Shanxing Village next door.

Cui Hejin has already taken a shower, and his long dark hair is spread behind his shoulders. He is wearing a white cloth, and his skin is as cold as jade snow, and his body is shrouded in a cold aura like jade, which makes him charming and charming in the night.

Jiang Zhiluo couldn't guess what he was thinking.

She thought of what he said before and knew that the two of them were only a couple in name.

 If he didn't want to go, she didn't want to embarrass him.

 Cui Hejin held a book in his hand. Listening to Jiang Zhiluo's questions, he paused in turning the book, his dark eyes flashing brightly.

Jiang Zhiluo thought she was considerate and said: "It doesn't matter to me. If you don't want to go, I can just go by myself."

Cui Hejin's eyes were slightly raised at the end, creating a light and charming arc.

 He just looked at her quietly, his eyes seemed to be able to easily confuse people's hearts.

Jiang Zhiluo turned away her eyes slightly. She didn't dare to look into his eyes at this moment. She always felt that there was a whirlpool in there that could swallow people up.

After a long while, Cui Hejin said quietly: "If I don't go, your parents will be worried."

Jiang Zhiluo thought about the meaning of his words and understood that he was afraid that her parents would worry about asking. She guessed that he might not want to go, but as a person who pays so much attention to etiquette and rules, he would probably go if he didn't want to go.

Jiang Zhiluo suppressed the strange emotions in her heart and said calmly: "I understand."

 After saying that, Jiang Zhiluo got on the bed and lay down.

 She covered herself with a quilt and allowed herself to slowly calm down the sour emotion that had just spread in her heart.

 She doesn’t have to care about anyone’s attitude and opinion towards her, but it’s him.

 In that life, he would rather be injured than to protect her with all his life, again and again.

  At that time, she was of high status, had been raised delicately, and was a bit pretentious, so he doted on her as much as he could.

 She was the one who said she liked him at first, and she was the one who provoked him, but in the end she also killed him. Not only did he lose his life, he was also executed by Ling Chi with one knife.

 So in this life, facing him, she can no longer say that she likes him, and she can't express all her thoughts.

She just wants to be with him and treat him well. One day, when he is no longer needed, she will leave.

 She just hopes that he can live a stable life without any danger.

Thinking of these, Jiang Zhiluo slowly fell asleep.

The candlelight flickered in the room, and Cui Hejin seemed to feel something. For a while, the book in his hand did not turn another page.

 …

 Early the next morning, after the family had a simple breakfast, Mrs. Cui carefully placed the white flour pastry, eggs and brown sugar in her basket.

 So that Jiang Zhiluo can bring it to her parents.

Jiang Zhiluo also put some leeks and planned to let her parents plant some too.

After putting everything away, when she was about to carry the basket on her back, Cui Hejin said calmly: "I'll do it!"

 He didn't give Jiang Zhiluo a chance to speak, and directly put the backpack on his back.

Jiang Zhiluo was stunned for a moment, then she was a little worried about Cui Hejin's body and said: "Your body..."

Before Jiang Zhiluo could say anything, Mrs. Cui quickly stopped her and said, "Just let He Jin carry it on his back. He feels sorry for you."

Mrs. Cui thought to herself, this silly daughter-in-law, don’t say anything about a man’s poor health.

Her son looked thin. He was a versatile man in both civil and military affairs back then, and his martial arts skills had few rivals. If he had not been convicted and imprisoned and his martial arts skills were revoked, he would not be like this at all now.

 But even so, carrying this small thing is not tiring at all.

Jiang Zhiluo opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing and went out with Cui Hejin.

Shanxing Village is not far from Donghe Village. The two villages are very close. According to modern time, Jiang Zhiluo guessed that it would take more than 20 minutes to reach Shanxing Village.

It is still early, and many people in Shanxing Village have had breakfast and are going to work in the fields with hoes on their backs.

 Many families raise ducks and geese, and they will drive them to the river early in the morning.

These ducks and geese lined up and waddled toward the river.

The half-grown boys in the village also went to work in the fields after breakfast.

 The older people are watching their children at home, while some younger children are playing in the street.

 Many people wear patched clothes.

Although the weather is a bit cold in early spring, most people still wear a little thin clothes.

Following my memory, when I was approaching the door of Jiang’s house, suddenly a cute and delicate-looking little boy shouted in surprise: “Sister!”

With that said, the little boy didn't care about driving the ducks into the river, and ran quickly towards Jiang Zhiluo.

When he came to Jiang Zhiluo, he looked up at Jiang Zhiluo. His whole body was holding Jiang Zhiluo like a bag and wanted to jump on her.

“Sister, I miss you so much. I haven’t seen you for a long time.”
