Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

Song Shuangshuang felt that she must be abnormal recently. Why did she always blush at Jiang Jingcheng's words?

Jiang Jingcheng didn't dare to say too much. He pushed his bicycle into the yard, closed the door, and filled a bucket of water to clean up the house first.

The dust in summer is greater than usual, and he keeps moving goods back and forth, so it's inevitable that there's dirt everywhere. It's really hard to cook without cleaning it up.

Song Shuangshuang was not a squeamish person, so she rolled up her sleeves and helped to clean up.

If Jiang Jingcheng wasn't in a hurry to go back to Song Shuangshuang, he would simply clean the house after those people left. So even though he hadn't been there for a while, it wasn't particularly dirty.

The two of them cleaned up in less than 20 minutes.

By the time Song Shuangshuang hung the clean rag in the yard to dry, the snacks she had just eaten were almost digested.

Song Shuangshuang was just about to wash the rice and vegetables when she remembered that there was no water in the vat, so she called Jiang Jingcheng in.

"Jiang Jingcheng, please fetch some water." Her arms were a little sore from pulling weeds these days, and she didn't want to fetch water.

Jiang Jingcheng fetched two buckets of water, then came over to help Song Shuangshuang light the fire and wash the vegetables.

Song Shuangshuang looked at Jiang Jingcheng sitting on a small stool washing vegetables, and she actually had the same feeling as what Jiang Jingcheng said before she entered the door.

They really look like a couple who just got home from get off work.

No! I can't think like that anymore.

Song Shuangshuang quickly shook her head. If she continued thinking about it, she might want to get married sooner.

This won't do! Her plans can't be disrupted.

Since she didn't live here permanently, Song Shuangshuang just took two dishes and a piece of pork and made a simple meal.

Fortunately, she had bought a lot of things from Jiang Jingcheng before, including pots, pans, seasonings and the like, otherwise it would be impossible to cook this meal.

When the aroma of the food wafted out, Song Shuangshuang's stomach rumbled very loudly.

Song Shuangshuang blushed instantly.

This is really... I just had burps after watching a movie, and now my stomach is rumbling with hunger.

Jiang Jingcheng wouldn’t have heard it, would he?

Even though they were a couple, it was still too awkward.

Jiang Jingcheng was less than a meter away from Song Shuangshuang, so he must have heard it. But he thought that the little girl was shy and pretended to know nothing.

"What's wrong? Are your arms sore from pulling weeds lately? How about I cook for you?

My cooking isn't as good as yours, but it's still okay. Do you want to try it?" He can cook, too.

Song Shuangshuang was afraid that her stomach would rumble again, so she handed the spatula to Jiang Jingcheng.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

The meat is ready, all that’s left is two vegetables.

She also wanted to try Jiang Jingcheng's cooking. But since Jiang Jingcheng said so, it shouldn't be too bad, right?

She didn't want to be the one cooking after they got married. If Jiang Jingcheng could cook, they could take turns. If Jiang Jingcheng's cooking skills were average, she would teach him.

If it’s bad... no matter how bad it is, it can’t be worse than what He Feiyang made, right?

After the two dishes were out of the pot, Song Shuangshuang felt that Jiang Jingcheng's cooking skills should be good. At least he didn't burn the dishes like He Feiyang did.

But... she wasn't sure about the taste.

The two of them sat face to face at the dinner table. Jiang Jingcheng was a little confused when he saw Song Shuangshuang didn't pick up her chopsticks, but when he saw the conflicted expression on her face, he understood.

Jiang Jingcheng thought it was a little funny, so he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in Song Shuangshuang's bowl.

"Don't worry, I'm much better than He Feiyang."

He had also seen He Feiyang's craftsmanship and he really couldn't praise it.

Seeing Jiang Jingcheng say that he was better than He Feiyang, Song Shuangshuang felt relieved and picked up the food and put it into her mouth.

He is indeed many times stronger than He Feiyang!

Song Shuangshuang thought that next time they went to the city, as long as they were not too lazy to move, they could just go to her place to cook. They wouldn't have to be as cautious as they did in the village when cooking meat. They could just relax and cook delicious food!

Anyway, it only comes once in a long time.

After dinner, Song Shuangshuang was still sitting there taking it easy, so Jiang Jingcheng took the initiative to take away the empty plates and bowls.

"Don't rush to clean up, take a rest first, I'll wash it later."

One person cooks and the other washes the dishes, a perfect collaboration.

"There are only two bowls. I washed them easily. You sit down and rest for a while. If you feel full, you can take a walk in the yard." He saw Song Shuangshuang sitting there rubbing her stomach and guessed that she might be full.

"Thank you for your hard work today. I'll wash the dishes next time." Seeing that she was discovered, Song Shuangshuang started to stroll around the yard.

After washing the dishes, Jiang Jingcheng went back into the house to clean the table, then came out to stroll with Song Shuangshuang.

Song Shuangshuang thought it would be better if this was in the village, where the roads would be wider.

I am used to living in the village. Once I move to the city, I feel that the place is much smaller. No wonder the elderly nowadays would rather stay in the countryside where transportation and life are not convenient than move to the city. Not only are they not used to the modern things in the city, but I think they feel that the buildings in the city are too cramped.

Jiang Jingcheng saw that Song Shuangshuang was absent-minded and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering if I go back to the city in the future, will I find the houses in the city not as big as the ones in the village?"

The house she lives in now is really not small in the village.

There are several families that have not split up, and they all built another house in the yard. So it looks a bit crowded, but hers is not like that, at least it is bigger than the current yard.

And she had reason to be worried.

After being admitted to university, she and Youlin would have to buy at least one house each. Houses in this era are not expensive, but they are not easy to buy either.

Even if you can't buy two exactly the same ones, you have to buy two of similar size, which is even more difficult.

She is used to living in a house with a big yard. If she were to live in a small house, she would definitely not be used to it. She felt uncomfortable even when she went home for the Chinese New Year this year. She felt that she could leave the yard in two steps after leaving the room. Even the space in the house was not big.

"Then I will work hard to make money and buy a big house for us to live in." After the last conversation with Song Youlin, Jiang Jingcheng made a plan. He planned to go to the city more frequently after the autumn harvest this year, or go further away.

"That's just what I said. We'll have to see the specific situation when the time comes." She didn't want Jiang Jingcheng to invest all his fortune just to buy a big house.

Moreover, how big is big? If you buy a house with two or three entrances like the ancient officials, how much would it cost?

No, where should I find it?

Thinking of this, Song Shuangshuang planned to check with her brother during this period of time how much savings he had now. It seemed that she had not counted the money since she started working with Jiang Jingcheng. Usually, after Jiang Jingcheng gave her the money, she and Song Youlin would put it directly into their wallets without counting it carefully.

I don’t know if it’s enough to buy two big houses in Beijing.

If you have little savings, you can work hard over the winter and start formal review after the spring.
