Chapter 14: Ji Jianyun is Coming Back!
“Go back?” Ji Jianyun asked in confusion.
“It’s possible, you can just apply for it. But if something urgent comes up, you have to come back as soon as possible.” Tong Dahe nodded as he ate the beef jerky.
After that, he praised it, “My sister-in-law’s cooking is really good. It smells a bit like medicine, but it tastes great!"
“She put some medicinal herbs in it when she was making it. Everything she used was to make the body stronger.” Ji Jianyun explained. He was in a hurry to apply for the return and shoved everything in the package he had opened to Tong Dahe. “This is what my wife made for everyone. Take it and share it with everyone.”
Tong Dahe said, “Hey, hey, so much? This must weigh five or six jin. Thank you sister-in-law!” Beef was not cheap and making it into jerky cost a lot of money. The most important thing was the flavor and it was really good! 🅟🅛🅔🅐🅢🅔 🅡🅔🅐🅓 🅐🅣 🅕🅞🅧🅐🅗🅞🅛🅘🅒.🅒🅞🅜
As soon as Tong Dahe left, Ji Jianyun opened his package. There were almost a dozen jin of beef jerky inside, and the smell flooded in. Ji Jianyun could not help himself and ate a piece. The taste conquered him immediately.
He didn't realize that his wife had the skills to do this.
What Ji Jianyun did not know was that she made the beef jerky with the mysterious spring water, and then added a secret recipe from the many medicinal herbs she bought. Not only could it satisfy one’s cravings, it could also strengthen the body. Su Danhong was worried that he would be tired working outside, so she updated the recipe to repair his body.
Ji Jianyun did not know that his wife had changed from the core. He divided a few jin of beef jerky and put the rest in the cabinet. He brought the beef jerky with him when he went to his leader.
He wanted to apply to go back for the New Year.
“Didn’t you just come back from your holiday?” the leader asked while eating the beef jerky.
“In the past when you had a holiday you would give it to someone else. Why did you leave your heart at home this time?” The leader questioned angrily.
Ji Jianyun smiled. “In the past I had just gotten married.”
“All right, I'll give you seven days off, but if there is an urgent task, then you have to come back to me,” the leader said.
“Yes!” Ji Jianyun grinned and happily responded.
“Do you have more beef jerky? Bring it all to me,” the leader said.
“No problem!” Ji Jianyun answered at once and went out.
More than two jin of jerky were sent. The leader knew at a glance that the boy still had a lot left, and he jokingly cursed and did not say anymore.
This beef jerky was really good, not to mention how comfortable and warm the body was after eating a few pieces.
Ji Jianyun picked up a pen and sent a letter back to Su Danhong to share the news that he would come back for the New Year.
Su Danhong received the letter in the town. She brought the embroidered double dragons playing with the pearl and earned 500 yuan from sister Hong. Along the way, she went to the post office to ask if there was a letter.
The post office serviced each village, but letters could also be taken directly from the post office.
Ji Jianyun's letter had just arrived and had not been distributed yet.
Su Danhong was overjoyed after reading the letter.
As soon as the season changed, it was December. It snowed a lot yesterday. All the baby cabbages in the field had been collected beforehand. In regards to how fast the cabbages grew, Mother Ji mentioned it to Father Ji and he couldn't figure it out, so this matter didn't come to an end.
On this day, Su Danhong took the letter and bought a lot of meat, especially mutton and beef, but not a lot of pork. This was because in a few days someone in the village was going to kill a pig, and it would not be too late to buy it again when that happens.
When Su Danhong was carrying these things in the village, she met a girl with a bag who had obviously just returned.
The girl looked almost 18 or 19 years old. When she saw Su Danhong, she glanced at her several times. She thought, when did the village have a wife with such a goose egg face?
Su Danhong also saw her, but unlike how this girl who looked at her with strange eyes, she recognized Ji Jianyun's youngest sister, Ji Yunyun, almost at a glance.
“Yunyun is back,” Su Danhog greeted her.
As a matter of fact, Su Danhong did not want to greet Ji Yunyun. It could be said that the former owner and Ji Yunyun were incompatible like fire and water. The sister-in-law was not like a sister-in-law, and the husband’s sister was not like a sister. They were both bad.
Yunyun was also a person who was in high school and was about to go to college when the original owner had only been in primary school for a few years. Also, Ji Yunyun was not young. She was only a few years older than Su Danhong in her past life, and it could not be said that she was sensible.
However, in some ways it was the first time that they had met each other, so Su Danhong greeted her kindly.
“Who are you?” Ji Yunyun asked suspiciously. She did not expect this beautiful wife to actually know her.
“I am your third sister-in-law, Su Danhong,” she replied.
“Su Danhong?” Ji Yunyun was stunned. It was inconceivable to her and she looked at Su Danhong up and down. This really startled her. “Why have you changed and become like this?”
More than two months had passed since the last time Ji Jianyun came back. Su Danhong had been using the spring water during that time and had fully researched the uses of the spring water.
It not only had a growth effect on plants, but also had an excellent health maintenance effect on people.
After drinking this spring water for so long, her body and bones felt great. Moreover, when she drank the water, there was always a smelly and greasy stain on her body that came out. It was similar to the way she had seen celestial beings cultivate to be immortal by cleansing their veins and harvesting their essence in a picture book in her last life.
It was almost gone after half a month. Occasionally there would be a little sweat that was like oil, but most of the time there wasn’t any.
Furthermore, Su Danhong seemed to be a different person after two months because she often washed her face with this spring water. She applied it externally and internally to her body.
Her figure was thinner than before. Even though she looked more fleshy, she was not fat. It was more like the voluptuous kind of body. 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘹𝘢𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤.𝘤𝘰𝘮
In addition to that, her face was also very rich1. She appeared beautiful, and her complexion was very white.
But this kind of Su Danhong had been seen since the very beginning. She would intentionally come out and walk around the village during the time she was embroidering the rest of the dragon playing with the pearl. Otherwise, she was worried that everyone would not be used to the change and would be startled once they saw her.
Fortunately, her efforts paid off. When she promoted embroidery, she did not even get half a student as a bunch of women retreated one after another, but at the same time, everyone slowly accepted her changes.
It was different for Ji Yunyun who just came back.
Ji Yunyun’s eyes widened when she looked at Su Danhong, who was exactly the same as a changed person.
“Go home first, younger sister-in-law. I need to take the meat back first, too,” Su Danhong said.
All this meat was going to be frozen for her Jianyun to come back to eat.
Ji Yunyun was still in a bit of a daze the entire time she was returning home. She finally found her soul when she saw Father Ji and Mother Ji.
“Father, mother, I'm back,” Ji Yunyun called out.
“You’re back? I just wanted your father to pick you up,” Mother Ji happily said. She hurried to help her with her luggage. She said, “Were you tired along the way? Go inside and rest.”
“Mother, I met Su Danhong when I got back!” Ji Yunyun exclaimed. She hurried to mention this strange thing.
