Chapter 141: Chapter 135: What do you have?
Jiang Xiaoxiao returned to the farm, and everybody knew she was back, so they came out to welcome her.
Especially Jia Shu who, upon seeing her, immediately picked her up.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao, you’re finally back. You don’t know how uncomfortable it’s been sleeping alone here these past few days without you. It’s really not the same without you. The weather forecast says it’s going to snow soon, and I was really worried you’d be stuck with the mountain closed because of the snow."
Looking left and right.
Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "You know, someone who didn’t know us might think we have some special relationship! Look, I’m back and I brought a lot of food."
The two girls went inside, and the men carried the food into the kitchen. They all pooled their food together to eat.
After all, they worked together and dined together.
When someone received something from home, everyone shared it. Of course, keeping a little stash for oneself wasn’t a problem.
As long as it didn’t hurt anyone, nobody minded.
Overall, the dozen or so people really got along well with each other.
Gu Dali shouted loudly from over there.
"Xiao Xiao, you’re finally back! You don’t know how long we’ve been waiting for you. We’ve missed your cooking, Jia Shu’s meals were simply unspeakable. We miss your cooking, look at us, we’ve all gotten so skinny with hunger."
Jia Shu pulled the curtain aside.
"Gu Dali, shut up already. I only burned the pot once, yet you keep reminding me. If my cooking was that terrible, how come you’ve been eating it for days and haven’t starved?"
Gu Dali shrank back, "No, no! That’s not what I meant, your cooking is tasty too. It’s just a little less good than Xiao Xiao’s cooking, okay? I was wrong, isn’t that enough?"
He Aiguo laughed heartily, "See, now that Xiao Xiao is back, the vibe here is so lively. A few days ago you all looked so down, but now with Xiao Xiao back, you’ve all perked up!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed uncontrollably.
Suddenly, so many new friends have appeared in this life, and it has become colorful.
"I never thought I was this important. Since you all are so fond of me, I’ll make dumplings for everyone tomorrow noon."
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered.
Jia Shu couldn’t stop smiling.
"Look at them all, as if I’ve been torturing them."
"Xiao Xiao, how did you know we got a wild boar? We have dumpling filling for sure!"
Gu Dali shouted.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was baffled.
She shook her head.
"I didn’t know at all, I was thinking we’d go down to the community store tomorrow and buy some pork."
"No need to buy pork. You’ve been away from the farm for a few days, so you don’t know. These guys have been running wild all over the mountain with Brother Song. They’ve almost hunted all the game, except they dared not enter deep into the mountain because of the tigers, leopards, wolves, and such.
Yesterday, we just brought down a wild boar from the mountain. Although it’s not very big, we’ve got over 100 pounds of meat waiting for you to cook us something delicious."
Gu Dali was so pleased with himself.
"Stop bragging, who was chased half the mountain by the wild boar yesterday? If it weren’t for Song Moting helping you out, would you still be boasting about more than 100 pounds of meat?"
Jia Shu couldn’t help attacking Gu Dali, who never knew when to keep his mouth shut.
Gu Dali blushed deeply, helpless, since who in the whole forestry station didn’t know about his heroic incident from yesterday!
"Don’t hit below the belt. Sister Jia, do you even know how to behave? Look at your sharp tongue, it’s like a blade, cutting me to pieces."
Gu Dali was really angry.
"Alright, alright, Gu Dali, you’re getting too serious. Is it necessary to argue with a girl? Are you even a man?"
He Aiguo stepped in, and Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at Jia Shu, discovering that Jia Shu had a different kind of feeling for He Aiguo.
Oh, looks like something’s going on. Didn’t expect my dear Sister Jia to develop feelings for him during the few days I was away.
"Okay, okay, everyone stop talking. I’ll make dumplings for everyone today. Go back now."
Jiang Xiaoxiao resolved the situation.
Jia Shu and Jiang Xiaoxiao headed inside.
"Honestly, spill it. Did anything happen while I was away these past two days?"
As soon as Jia Shu came in, Jiang Xiaoxiao cheekily interrogated her.
Her face flushed slightly.
"There’s nothing going on, you’re always imagining things. Alright, alright, I haven’t even asked you yet. Do you have something going on with Song Moting? You don’t know, but ever since you left, starting from the third day, Song Moting’s been going to the bus stop every day to pick you up.
In this cold weather, it’s quite a walk. He was out there facing the wind and rain, wind or shine. We all guess there’s something between you two you haven’t told us?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao was a bit bewildered. Although she and Song Moting had promised to consider the issue during the trip.
She always wondered how Song Moting knew she was coming back today?
She never expected Song Moting to stand guard there every day.
But just thinking about his dedication, she couldn’t help but be touched.
In her last life, she reluctantly married a husband who was taciturn.
He was rigid, never showed a smile, and didn’t know how to take care of others.
She never knew what it’s like to be treated well by someone, what form it takes?
She couldn’t say.
An inexperienced person doesn’t know what to expect from others.
But even hearing such a detail, she couldn’t help but feel moved.
Being cared for like this by someone, how could anyone not be touched?
She’s still a girl, even if she lived over 80 years in her last life.
It’s merely been living for over 80 years.
Her romantic life was pitifully lacking.
Especially being widowed in her forties, her husband passing early.
Leaving her as a lone woman raising children alone.
The suffering and pain endured, through countless storms, she bore alone.
Never felt anyone could share the load,
Could help her carry everything.
"There’s nothing, you’re all overthinking. Alright, let’s not talk about it, I’ve brought you a gift. Let’s not talk about this, hurry and chop the meat for the dumplings, or else dinner will become a midnight snack."
Jiang Xiaoxiao quickly changed the subject; she didn’t want to dwell on it with Jia Shu.
Her face blushed slightly, feeling a bit warm and soft inside.
