Because of Qin Chi's arrival, Su Xiaoxue prepared to cook early.

Hearing that Qin Chi also knew about those mushrooms and said they were edible, Father Su smiled and said, "Xiaoxue also said they were edible, but her mother and I didn't believe it. You young people are really knowledgeable."

Qin Chi smiled and said, "We just happened to know each other."

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxue also praised, "You are still very good, you know a lot. It is said that we rural people know a lot about mountains and forests, but I didn't expect you to know it too."

Qin Chi smiled, "It's okay, but you are also very good."

Seeing the two of them praising each other, Father Su on the side seemed very pleased.

Maybe it was because the two of them were talking so harmoniously that Su Xiaoxue was still a little confused when she reacted.

Seeing the sun rising in the sky, she quickly stood up and said, "I'll go cook. Dad, you chat with Comrade Qin Chi for a while."

Qin Chi stood up with her, "How about I help you?"

"No, no, I can do it myself."

Seeing that Qin Chi didn't want to be idle, Su Xiaoxue thought for a moment and said, "How about you come with my dad and help me sort the mushrooms in this basket?"

Qin Chi nodded, "Okay."

So, while Su Xiaoxue was cooking, the two grown men were in the yard sorting the mushrooms that Su Xiaoxue brought back and separating the good ones from the bad ones.

Inside the house, Su Xiaoxue looked at the fresh meat brought by Qin Chi, then looked at the potatoes on the ground, preparing to stew the potatoes with meat.

Then add some of the porcini mushrooms that they sorted out and found to be less attractive.

When Qin Chi heard that he needed to clean the porcini, he said enthusiastically, "Let me help."

Su Xiaoxue nodded, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The Su family has a spring that is brought down from the mountain with a bamboo pole and then placed into a large, broken water tank at the gate of the courtyard. This saves the family a lot of trouble.

Qin Chi squatted beside the water tank, took the basket handed to him by Su Xiaoxue, and helped wash the mushrooms. Su Xiaoxue was also holding another basket and was washing the water spinach at home.

The two of them were busy with their own things and did not disturb each other, yet they were extremely harmonious.

Father Su watched from the side, his eyes full of relief.

This child is good, he has a good temper, is polite and filial, and can do anything.

Although it is said that a man has to perform well in order to get a wife, and may not be able to do so in reality, but Father Su is an experienced man after all, and he can naturally see that Qin Chi is still good.

That day he also saw the Zhao family members coming to his eldest brother's house to discuss things. The Zhao family's parents were known to be frugal, in other words, they were rather stingy.

As for Zhao Ming, in the eyes of outsiders, he is honest, steady and willing to endure hardships, but he listens to his parents too much and has no opinion of his own.

Especially when I saw Zhao Ming at eldest brother's house, he just stood there quietly, with no life in his eyes, no words in his mouth, and looked dazed.

Compared with Zhao Ming, he felt that Qin Chi might be better like this. People with independent opinions will not be led by others. No matter if that person is his parents or someone else, people should be more independent.

Soon, the two people who had washed the vegetables and mushrooms came back into the house together.

Su Xiaoxue shouted to Qin Chi: "You go out first, I'll take care of it."

Qin Chi didn't leave, and said, "It's okay, I'm free anyway, I'll help you cut some vegetables and light the fire!"

He put down the basket of mushrooms, looked at the firewood in the pot which was about to burn out and fall out, and quickly reached out to stuff the firewood into the stove.

While stuffing it in, he did not forget to find firewood from the side, put it in, and set it up so that the firewood could burn fully instead of just staying there.

Seeing his skilled movements, Su Xiaoxue couldn't help but ask, "Did you learn this in the army?"

"Ah."

Su Xiaoxue asked again, "You learned a lot in the army, so you know everything!"

Qin Chi thought about it for a while before nodding, "Well, you can say that!"

"Then you're pretty awesome."

Qin Chi did not comment, but only said, "You need to learn more survival skills to survive in the dangerous jungle."

Su Xiaoxue seemed to understand what he meant.

However, she was still quite curious. Since Qin Chi was a soldier, why did he retire and become a worker in a factory?

On second thought, this was Qin Chi's private matter after all. If it was difficult to talk about it, it would not end well, so she simply didn't ask.

After Qin Chi helped to light the fire, he washed his hands and said he would help her cut the mushrooms.

Since he was willing to do it, Su Xiaoxue didn't refuse anymore. She gave him the kitchen knife and told him how to cut.

I don’t know if Qin Chi is a quick learner or he just has the talent, but he cut the porcini mushrooms very well and quickly.

Su Xiaoxue was beside him, heating up the pan with oil.

She first fried the fat in the pan, and when a lot of oil came out, she put the lean meat in and stir-fried it, added various sauces, and then put the chopped potatoes in one by one, covered the pot and simmered it for a while, and then added the porcini mushrooms.

She did all this in one go, with quick hands and a serious expression.

After Qin Chi cut the porcini mushrooms, there was nothing he could do to help, so he just helped her watch the fire. When the fire was big, he added firewood and hay, and when the fire was small, he removed some of the fire.

Inside the house, the two of them worked well together.

Outside the house, Father Su heard the two people inside talking and communicating, but he didn't go in.

Although most of the young people nowadays rely on blind dates to find someone based on their conditions and have no emotional connection, who doesn't want to marry someone they like?

Back then, Su's father and mother were introduced by someone else. Although they had no feelings for each other at the beginning, they developed feelings for each other as they got along with each other. They were not opposed to getting married, and their relationship became better and better.

Father Su knew that if a couple had no feelings for each other and still disliked each other, their future life would be difficult. If they did not divorce, one of them, or even both of them, would live a miserable life.

When Su's mother came back, Su Xiaoxue had already cooked the stewed meat and stir-fried some water spinach with lard. Only the mushroom soup was still cooking.

She carried a hoe and walked with her neighbor A Xiangsao.

Smelling the aroma of meat, Sister Xiang couldn't help but ask, "Whose family is cooking meat? It smells so good."

Su's mother also asked, looked around, and then found that the smell seemed to come from the house.

Sister Xiang also noticed it and said, "This smell comes from your house. Are you stewing meat again?"

In the past two days, the Su family brought a lot of meat because of the arrival of their future in-laws, and they have been eating meat almost every day. Everyone is envious and says that their daughter Xiaoxue is lucky to have been able to find a family with such good conditions.

Others also said that Su Lingling was stupid. She gave up such a good family like the Qin family and chose the Zhao family from the neighboring village in the commune. No matter how good the Zhao family was, it could definitely not compare to a family like the Qin family!

The eldest uncle's family of the Su family was also constantly asked why Su Lingling could have chosen first, but did not choose the good one and chose a rotten lantern instead?

But what can the uncle and his wife of the Su family do? Their daughter insisted on having the child from the Zhao family and even analyzed the situation in detail. Now that it has been decided, it is difficult to change it.

Su's mother also knew about these things, but she couldn't talk about the affairs of her uncle's family, and she didn't know how to talk about them. She just wanted to take care of herself.

Hearing Ah Xiang's question, she just smiled and said, "Maybe Xiaoxue got some mushrooms from the mountains and added them to the stewed meat!"

Ah Xiang's wife was envious, "Your family is so well off. Your future son-in-law is rich, and we can eat meat every day in the future."

Mother Su laughed, "How can that be? It was her first time visiting, so she was just being polite. But you can't eat like this every day."

As they were talking, they arrived at the door.

Qin Chi just happened to come out of the house to talk to Su's father, and was seen by Su's mother and A Xiang's wife who were at the door.

Ah Xiang's wife was surprised, "Look, your future son-in-law is here again."

Su's mother was also a little surprised.

But thinking about what her daughter had said before, she thought it might be because of her husband's illness.

She exchanged a few brief greetings with A Xiang's wife and went into the house first.
