Zhou Yi reached out to Song Xi and pulled her over. Song Xi fell onto him unknowingly. Zhou Yi’s slender and strong arms wrapped around her, making it impossible for her to break free. “Brother Yi, you’re quite skilled. Did you practice martial arts in the past?”
Song Xi had wanted to ask for a long time. He caught fish, pheasants, and snakes, which meant that this man was quite skilled. With such good skills, it was normal for him to save up a few hundred yuan.
Except…
Since he had a few hundred yuan, why did he need to borrow money to get married?
“Wife, let me answer your first question. As for why I don’t usually wear this, it’s because I usually work outside. My clothes are easily cut by tree branches and weeds. No matter how good my clothes are, it’s a waste.” Another reason was that everyone was wearing ragged clothes. If he wore good clothes to show off outside, wouldn’t the door threshold be trampled on until it broke?
They couldn’t tell outsiders what they were up to. Otherwise, who knew what would happen to them?
Zhou Yi’s forehead was pressed against Song Xi’s. Their breaths intertwined and were a little hot. Song Xi was very embarrassed. “Wife, as for the second question you asked, I can tell you very sincerely that I’m not a martial artist. As for my skills, I just trained in the fields and mountains!”
As Zhou Yi spoke, he rubbed her forehead and the tip of her nose. Soon, the smell changed. Zhou Yi panted and moved closer to Song Xi’s lips to cause trouble. It was obvious what he wanted to do.
Song Xi’s heart raced. She wanted to dodge back, but Zhou Yi reached out and held the back of her head, leaving her nowhere to hide. “Wife, I won’t do anything to you. Don’t be afraid.”
He just wanted to get some benefits from Song Xi!
It was late at night, but the small mountain village was not quiet. The sound of frogs and insects rose and fell outside. The evening wind blew against her face, bringing with it a hint of coldness. Zhou Yi carried Song Xi back to their room. “Didn’t we tell them to come at four or five in the morning? Aren’t you going to hurry up and sleep?”
The wound on Song Xi’s head had scabbed over. Now that she touched it, it almost didn’t hurt anymore, so she didn’t have to be so careful when she slept anymore. She could flip in any way she wanted.
However, just as she turned around, an arm suddenly appeared at her waist, causing her to freeze and not dare to move. She knew that men were very hot-headed in the summer. It was best not to provoke him.
The next morning, around four o’clock, just as the sky turned bright, there were figures moving outside Zhou Yi’s house. Hearing the knock on the door, Zhou Yi went out to open the door and called them in.
Song Xi also yawned and came over. When she saw that the male comrades were all holding wooden buckets in their hands, she covered her mouth and yawned before asking, “Have you washed them? Did you wash them with well water?”
“Yes, they’re all washed clean.” Zhou Ping nodded repeatedly. One could see his excitement from his eyebrows.
“Let’s go to the kitchen!” With that, Song Xi led the way to the kitchen. Zhou Yi followed her to the kitchen. Zhou Yi lit the candles and sat behind the stove to start the fire under Song Xi’s reminder.
The two of them worked together to make a plate of stir-fried frogs. Song Xi served the stir-fried frogs on the table and said to them, “Try it and see how it tastes.”
Actually, when the fragrance first came out, a few male comrades who had been busy in the field for most of the night could not help but drool. They did not expect that ordinary frogs could smell so good when passed through Song Xi’s hands. Therefore, when Song Xi brought the stir-fried frog to the table and called for them to eat, they quickly picked up chopsticks from the chopstick basket on Zhou Yi’s cabinet and ate quickly.
It was so delicious they could not stop. After a while, the three of them finished a plate of stir-fried frogs. Song Xi and Zhou Yi looked at each other and felt that it was a little too exaggerated.
“Is it delicious?” Looking at the three male comrades who were still unsatisfied, Song Xi was a little amused. As expected, modern cooking methods could stun them. ” These processed things should be able to be sold now, right?”
“It’s really delicious.” The way Sheng Jiahe looked at Song Xi changed. He had really fallen for Song Xi’s culinary skills. How could Zhou Yi be so lucky to marry such a capable wife? He was so envious.
“Delicious, delicious.” Zhou Ping was not someone who could eat spicy food. He was quite burned. As he fanned himself with his hand, he gasped. Why didn’t they know how to process it like this? Thinking about how he had missed out on so much money in the past, he regretted it.
Mo Jiaxiang said, “Song Xi, please help us cook the remaining frogs. We’ll take them out and try. If we can really sell them, we’ll share the money with you.”
“Alright, let’s work well together.” Song Xi cooked the remaining frog. The fried frogs filled a total of two clean wooden buckets, about 30 catties. “I recommend that you go to the family area near the factory to test the water first. Because the people there are richer and are willing to buy things. Also, the people there have to wake up early for work and won’t delay. If they want to buy something, they’ll buy it. Those who don’t want to buy it won’t waste time with you.”
“In the beginning, you can get someone to try a piece before deciding if they want to buy it. As for the price, you can decide. I’ve never sold anything, so I don’t know.”
There was no ox cart at this time, so they could only walk there themselves. If they walked faster, it would take them less time than an ox cart. It would take about two hours, but the ox cart would only return in the evening. If they did not wait for the ox cart to return, it would take five to six hours to go back and forth. It was really tiring.
Therefore, Song Xi was too embarrassed to participate in the dividends. After all, she had not done much. She had just added some seasoning and processed it. The three male comrades had it the hardest.
The three of them discussed the candidates for the commune and left with the heavy wooden bucket, all hoping for a good start.
If they could succeed, they would have another income.
“Brother Yi, I saved this for you. Try it.” Seeing Zhou Yi close the courtyard door and return to the kitchen, Song Xi quickly brought a small bowl of stir-fried chicken that she had secretly left behind to Zhou Yi.
The plate that had just been stir-fried was snatched away by Zhou Ping, Sheng Jiahe, and Mo Jiaxiang. Zhou Yi, who was in charge of the fire, did not eat a single grain. Therefore, when she was scooping it into the plate just now, Song Xi secretly left a small bowl for Zhou Yi to reward him for getting up so early to help with the fire.
Zhou Yi held Song Xi’s head and kissed her forehead gently. He said gently, “Thank you for still thinking about me. You’ve worked hard for so long. Go back to your room to catch up on your sleep. I’ll be right behind you.”
“Okay.” Song Xi covered her mouth and yawned. Then, she turned around and returned to her room. She was woken up at four o’clock. It was indeed hard enough to work for more than an hour to five o’clock. She hoped that Sheng Jiahe and them could sell the stir-fried chicken. Otherwise, it would be a waste of their hard work.
