Chapter 278 He likes this young man Hu Wenhua
Hu Wenhua felt that he deserved to die. How could he have such a dirty idea!
He secretly despised himself and said in a hoarse voice: "I'll go back first. Don't save the cakes and sugar balls. I'll buy them next time I go to the city."
Without waiting for a reply, the tall figure almost fled.
But thinking that Jiajia accepted the things he bought for her, he felt a sweet feeling in his heart. He was very happy and joyful. He felt that earning money had meaning and wished to earn more money!
Ding Jiajia looked at the tall figure who fled in panic, and confusion flashed in his eyes.
Why did he run away first?
But, he still had a lot of questions to ask him.
If he didn't ask clearly, how would he answer when his parents came back.....
Ding Heli and Qin Yilin thought that Jiajia was at home today, and it was rare for her to come back early, so the family of three had dinner together.
During this period, they were like locusts passing through. Except for a few herbs left for seeds, they pulled out all the other herbs wherever they went. They made several sacks of finished products, and finally they could take a break and have a meal with their daughter and talk.
The two of them carried the big sacks and returned home. As soon as they entered the main room, they saw their daughter sitting in front of the square table in a daze.
The moon had risen outside, and the adobe house was dim, without even an oil lamp.
"Jia Jia, why didn't you light the lamp?"
"Have you had dinner?" the two asked at the same time.
Ding Jia Jia suddenly came to her senses and stood up quickly, "I, I forgot, Dad and Mom, I cooked rice, and now I'll bring it to you so we can eat together."
Qin Yilin looked at her obviously flustered daughter and reminded her, "You light the lamp first, your dad and I will wash our hands and serve the meal."
"Oh, okay." Ding Jia Jia took out the oil lamp, straightened the wick, blew on the fire stick and lit it.
The dim main room suddenly became much brighter.
Ding Heli and Qin Yilin also brought out the food.
A plate of steamed Chinese sausage, a plate of smashed cucumber, a pot of egg drop soup with small green vegetables, and three bowls of white rice. It was very different from the food at Shuiqing's house, but compared with the food at home, it was already a qualitative improvement.
The quality of their food was still thanks to Shuiqing, because she gave them the Chinese sausage and taught them the sauce for the cold cucumber. It was simple, easy to learn, and delicious. They also found that this sauce was delicious with other things!
For example, shredded black fungus, shredded radish, tofu, etc., all work. It can be said that after learning this seasoning, the dishes on their table have increased by more than ten kinds.
Ding Heli and Qin Yilin, who had been running around in the mountains and fields for a day, had a ready-made hot meal waiting for them when they returned home. They just felt that it was a good feeling to pick up the rice bowl and put the rice into their mouths.
Especially when the food was delicious!
The Chinese sausage was cut into slices of uniform thickness, and each slice was fat and thin, shiny and crystal clear, and it was especially delicious with rice.
The smashed cucumber was refreshing.
The green vegetables were fresh and tender, and the egg drop was smooth and refreshing. As they ate, they felt that this was the life that people should live, and this was the food that people should eat!
What they made before was pig food, just like feeding pigs!
Ding Heli finished a bowl of white rice first, and saw that there was only a little left in Yilin's bowl. He waited until she finished eating and took the bowl before going to the kitchen to get rice.
While Qin Yilin was waiting for the meal, she looked up and saw that the rice in Jiajia's bowl opposite her was basically untouched, and she was counting the rice grains with her chopsticks.
In the past, she would definitely reflect on whether the food she cooked was too unpalatable, causing Jiajia to be unable to eat.
But today, these three dishes were all made by her daughter, and they were very delicious! It was impossible for her not to eat them.
She looked at Jiajia who was absent-minded and asked softly: "Jiajia, did something happen?"
Afraid that her mother would worry and guess, Ding Jiajia looked up and replied: "Yes, it was Brother Hu. He went to the city today and brought me something."
Qin Yilin breathed a sigh of relief. Oh, I thought something big had happened.
"It's okay. Next time your father goes to the city to sell medicinal herbs, buy some for them. I guess Shuiqing asked him to bring them." How could a man be so delicate and thoughtful, thinking about bringing things.
Ding Heli, who came back with rice, handed the bowl to Yilin first, sat down and asked casually: "What did you bring? I'll go to the city next time to see what to buy as a return gift."
Only when there is give and take can it last long. Otherwise, if you always eat other people's things, others are not stupid, who would be willing to associate with you!
He taught his daughter the same way. You can't get other people's things for free. If you get something, you have to think about giving it back.
"Five-color sugar balls."
Ding Heli and Qin Yilin took big mouthfuls of food, thinking that Shuiqing was thoughtful and knew that Jiajia loved to eat.
"Date mud cake."
The two continued to eat happily, feeling lucky to have such a caring friend in a strange place.
"Silver hairpin."
"Cough cough cough!"
Ding Heli choked directly, Qin Yilin opened his mouth, and the two forgot to eat and stared at Jiajia blankly.
Ding Heli asked blankly: "No, why should I give you a silver hairpin?"
A silver hairpin is nothing compared to the hundreds of taels of silver in my family, but for the villagers, silver is a very precious thing!
Shuiqing's family is doing well, but her own children haven't used the silver hairpin yet, so how can she give it to Jiajia?
"No, Shuiqing will ask Hu Wenhua to bring cakes and sugar balls, but definitely not hairpins." Qin Yilin reacted and thought of Jiajia's series of abnormal behaviors, and asked in surprise: "It's not Shuiqing who gave it? Is it Hu Wenhua who gave it?"
Ding Jiajia didn't know how to tell her parents what Hu Wenhua whispered to her, and she couldn't repeat it to her parents. Now that her mother guessed it, she was relieved and nodded seriously.
The couple looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Ding Heli asked first: "Did you ask him why he sent you?"
To be honest, he liked Hu Wenhua!
He looked fierce and scary on the outside, but he was kind-hearted on the inside. And it was not a bad thing that he looked burly and scary, just right to protect Jiajia.
They only had one daughter, Jiajia, and they were always considered to be "extinct" and bullied openly and secretly. If Wenhua was interested in Jiajia, with Wenhua's fierce appearance, no one would dare to bully Jiajia in the future!
And with Wenhua's meticulous mind, Jiajia's life would be prosperous in the future.
Qin Yilin had already thought about Jiajia's future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, and sister-in-law relationship in her heart. Not to mention, compared with other families whose roots were unknown, the Hu family was really good.
Even in the future, they and Shuiqing would also be relatives, so they could go to eat openly, uh, they had to be thick-skinned.
Although the two were surprised, they were mostly happy, looking at Jiajia eagerly.
"No, he ran away before I asked." Ding Jiajia was a little worried when she talked about this.
Originally, they were standing there and talking well. She was about to ask him if he knew what giving a hairpin meant, but Brother Hu ran away.
Even, he clearly said that he wanted to hear her shout... but he didn't hear it...
"Then I'll go and ask around. If it's not that intention, this gift must be returned!"
