Shuttle Seventy: Sweet Wife

Chapter 17 - buns, self-esteem



Tranquility flowed in the room. Time was spent reading books while the other was bored and contemplating. At noon, the door was knocked again, causing the two of them to wake up.

Jing Qingxin hurriedly walked to the side of the bed in a few steps, flicked her left and right feet neatly, and her shoes were thrown under the bed. Completely in one go, neat and tidy.

Before he could say anything, Jing Qing’s heart was neatly hidden, her deep eyes flashed a hint of admiration, then she closed the book, put it under the pillow, glanced at it, and quickly put the things on the bed cabinet into it In the drawer of the cabinet, the outer packaging is too conspicuous.

“Come in, big tiger!” Gao Shen shouted loudly.

The door was pushed open immediately, but a thin woman walked in, with two braids on her left and right breasts, a round face, big bright eyes, and a blue cloth with black pants. Melaleuca black cloth shoes, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

“It’s me, Big Brother Gao.” The girl said with a smile.

“Xiaomei, why did you bring food here, where’s your brother?” Gao Shen asked.

Li Xiaomei walked to the bed, put down a big bowl, and then responded shyly: “My brother was called to help by the village chief. I’ve been busy in spring recently, and I didn’t have time to cook at noon, so my mother made steamed buns, and I’ll make them at night. meals.”

“Well, okay, thank you.” It doesn’t matter what he eats, as long as he can fill his stomach.

“Brother Gao, how is your leg recovering recently?” Li Xiaomei asked with concern.

“Much better!” Gao Shen answered succinctly.

“That’s good, then Big Brother Gao, you eat first, I’ll go back.” Li Xiaomei said with a light smile, then packed up her empty rice bowl in the morning and closed the door and left.

When Jing Qing heard the movement, she immediately pushed aside the quilt to exhale, turned her head to face Gao Shen with a smile, and said, “This girl really cares about you.”

“The little sister next door.” Gao Shen said succinctly.

Jing Qing got up neatly, got out of bed and put on her shoes, and sorted her clothes with both hands. After a good night’s sleep, her clothes were slightly wrinkled. It seems that she will need to prepare a few more sets of clothes next time.

“Don’t you eat lunch?” Gao Shen frowned and asked, he always felt that it was awkward for a woman to watch him eating alone.

“But I really don’t feel hungry. This time is on our side, so it should be the early morning.” Jing Qing said thoughtfully.

Gao Shen nodded and replied, “Okay.”

Afterwards, Gao Shen had no choice but to pick up his rice bowl and eat alone. Jing Qing was curious for a moment, and went forward to see what ‘Bao Mo’ was like. She heard the name just now in the quilt, but she Never heard of eating.

Looking at Jing Qingxin who came in, she asked in a low voice, “What?”

“It’s alright, I’m just curious what kind of food ‘puffed bun’ is, we don’t have it over there.” Jing Qingxin replied.

Jing Qingxin looked at the rice bowl that Gao Shen was holding. The so-called ‘pao bun’ was the addition of a few pancakes to the soup, which was very simple.

“Add some vegetable leaves to the end of rice bran dregs, and kang cakes, but if you eat it dry, it will make your throat burp a little bit, so add some water to boil, soak it, put some soy sauce, salt, and it should be soft and flavorful. .” Gao Shen explained to Jing Qingxin in detail.

“Oh~ why don’t you even have oil~ Can you eat it like this?” Jing Qing asked with a slightly wrinkled face. The whole ‘puffed bun’ looked dark, and a few kang cakes were added with water, and it was a meal. Now, is she really worried that this will be enough to eat?

Gao Shen couldn’t help raising the corners of his mouth lightly. It seemed that she was a girl who had never suffered. For the villagers, it was good to have something to eat. Who cares about whether it is good or not.

“It’s good to have enough to eat!” Gao Shen replied bluntly.

Jing Qingxin reached out and grabbed Gao Shen’s chopsticks, picked out the smallest piece of steamed buns in the bowl, took a bite, slightly hard, Jing Qingxin chewed slowly, but her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. I really don’t know how to describe the taste. Maybe she is not used to the way they eat here.

She grew up eating gourmet food, and her mother’s cooking skills are even better. Their family likes the food cooked by her mother. For her, who is used to eating all kinds of food tastes, this kind of food The taste is very monotonous, frying without oil, I always feel a little less appetite.

Jing Qingxin returned the chopsticks to Gao Shen’s hands, turned around and poured water to drink, but when Gao Shen took the chopsticks back, she seemed a little uncomfortable. Looking at the chopsticks in her hands, she was stunned for a while. Men and women shared chopsticks to eat. People who have a very close relationship will only act, and they will not be embarrassed in front of other people.

Immediately, watching Jing Qing drinking with a large porcelain iron cup in her heart, Gao Shen couldn’t help but sigh: It’s also because he’s too simple here, he doesn’t have many household utensils, and she has no other choice. Get ready for her!

Jing Qingxin, who was drinking water on the other side, didn’t think so much. In her subconscious, she already regarded Gao Shen as someone she trusted around her. After all, they shared the secret of the ancient ink jade pendant across time and space. Sharing some food together, the chopsticks are fine, but strangers may mind.

After a quick lunch, Gao Shen lifted the quilt and got out of bed slowly with both feet. The support was mainly concentrated on the right foot and the left foot was bent.

Jing Qingxin was observing the tin water bottle on the wooden table, and when she heard the movement, she turned around suddenly and was slightly startled. She quickly walked to Gao Shen’s side, held his arm, gave him support, and said excitedly: “You have to do it. Well? Just tell me, and I’ll help you. I just applied the medicine today, and your feet can’t work anymore.”

Gao Shen felt embarrassed, his ears were slightly red, and he said in a deep voice, “Cough… I’m going to the toilet.”

“Ah, oh~ then let me help you.” Jing Qingxin ignored the little embarrassment and said with a smile.

“No, I can.” Gao Shen kindly refused. Originally, Dahu had prepared a chamber pot for him and put it under the bed for his convenience, but he didn’t like to use the chamber pot, it would make him feel like a waste. Also, he doesn’t like the smell of chamber pots either.

Therefore, except for the first few days when the injury was more serious, he used it. Later, when the injury was better, when he could stand on one foot for support, he never used it again, and insisted on pacing to the outside world on one foot. toilet.

“Okay, then, be careful, don’t touch your feet.” Jing Qing instantly understood that sometimes, it is necessary to take into account the self-esteem of men and give them full respect, especially in a situation like Gao Shen, even more unwilling to do so. others’ sympathy for oneself.

Afterwards, Gao Shen leaned against the wall, walked slowly to the door, opened the door and went to the toilet outside, Jing Qingxin followed, she couldn’t go out, so she had to wait inside the door.
