Qiao Qiang heaved a sigh of relief. Xia Zhe agreeing to marry his granddaughter would fulfill one of his wishes. The Xia family was of good moral standing and would not go back on their words.
Qiao i nodded and said, “Grandfather, please sit here for a while. I’ll go cook now. We’ll be able to eat soon!”
Hesitation flashed across Qiao Qiang’s eyes. At this point in ti, there was not much food left at ho. Usually they would have to reduce their food intake during this ti of the month. He had to eat less to ensure that there was enough to last his granddaughter until next month.
As if Qiao i can cook? Isn’t it just wasting food?
He was unable to say these words out loud though. After all, this was the first ti Qiao i volunteered to do the cooking.
“Okay, you go then.” Qiao Qiang sighed and forced the words out. “I’m not too hungry yet. You can just make so for yourself.”
“Okay!” Qiao i imdiately nodded and went to the kitchen to cook.
Xia Zhe was standing outside the door when he heard this and his eyes flashed with understanding.
So that is how it is…
He was halfway through his journey when he felt that sothing was wrong. When he touched his neck, he realized that the pendant he had been wearing since young was gone. Hence, he imdiately ca back to look for it.
The pendant was a family heirloom passed through the generations, so it was a very important thing.
When he ca back and got to the door, he heard soone from the Qiao family talking so he stopped to listen.
He did not expect to hear the whole story. So this was the truth of the matter.
Grandpa Qiao’s health was failing and he might pass away very soon, leaving Qiao i alone in the world and being targeted by greedy relatives. This was why he ca up with this awful plan!
In the end, Qiao i actually changed her mind and did not want to drag him down…
It seems that this woman still has so kindness in her.
By now, most of the indignation and resentnt in Xia Zhe’s heart had dissipated.
Never mind, let her keep this pendant!
Back when his grandmother gave him the pendant, she said that it was for her future granddaughter-in-law. In any case, he would have to give it over sooner or later, so he would not take it back now.
With this thought, Xia Zhe turned around and left imdiately.
Qiao i walked out of her grandfather’s room and went to the kitchen located in the middle. The big rice jar ca into sight once she pushed the door open. She walked up and looked inside, only to find that there was not much rice left.
The remaining rice in the jar was only half a palm deep. Beside the rice jar, there were two heads of shriveled white cabbages and a single carrot with mud on it.
This was all the food left in the kitchen.
Qiao i recalled her past mories. Most of her mories were about eating, and on the 15th day of every month, she would feast most happily. At that ti, there would always be an abundance of at and vegetables.
The middle of every month was when Qiao Qiang received his retirent salary and on that day, he would go to the city to buy food and vegetables.
Actually, both of them would receive food distributed by the village as well as get a share of vegetables. However, given Qiao i’s appetite, what they received was far from enough for her to eat.
It was also because of Qiao Qiang’s indulgence towards his granddaughter that he would go to the city every month to spend money on vegetables and at.
There were still a few days to go until the 15th of the month and there was already insufficient food and vegetables at ho. As usual, Qiao Qiang had been going hungry for the past few days so that the original owner of the body had enough to eat.
Qiao i squatted down to start the fire and sighed. “Grandfather is really too nice!”
She actually ran into such a good grandfather!
Lighting a fire, washing the pot, washing the rice, washing the vegetables. Qiao i was good at all these chores. After all, she used to live alone.
She had always been very interested in the countryside. Every weekend, she would go camping in the wilderness, so she was quite good at lighting fires and cooking over it.
Qiao Qiang was a little worried. He slowly made his way out with his walking stick and saw his granddaughter busying herself in front of him. She actually seed to be doing well, she just went about her work quietly without any complaints.
He held back his emotions and quickly wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes.
His i i had finally grown up and beco sensible!
In a rural kitchen, there were usually two stoves. One was used for cooking while the other was used for preparing animal feed.
In the countryside, almost every household would raise livestock and poultry like pigs, chickens, ducks, and so on. It was only this year that they did not have any due to Qiao Qiang’s poor health.
Qiao i washed the two pots until they were spotlessly clean, not caring what the pots were previously used for. She took one pot and cooked porridge with it over a small fire. The other pot was used to make the other dishes.
First, she cut the carrot and washed the cabbages clean. Then, she fried the carrot in oil, stewed the cabbages and put in a few slices of pork belly.. Instantly, a delicious aroma filled the air.
