Chapter 216 Jiang Jintong Chapter 58
In the following days, his cooking skills did improve. Although his food was not very delicious, he could stir-fry vegetables or cook rice without getting it burnt.
It’s not delicious, but it’s edible.
Xie Luo did not ask the village chief to find someone else for him because there was really no need.
It's probably okay for her and Xiaobai to live alone.
After Tingmei left, Jiang Jintong was responsible for preparing three meals a day at home, and his cooking skills improved greatly as a result.
Not only was it edible, it was also much more delicious.
However, when people try something for the first time, it is never so smooth. Just the cooking process gave him several big bumps.
The young man was not omnipotent, and sometimes he would feel powerless and confused, but as soon as he saw Xie Luo, that confusion would disappear.
This place may not be as comfortable as the Jiang family, but here, at least he has value and can atone for his sins.
He wants to be himself, not a rose that can only bloom in a greenhouse.
This is the only thing that Jiang Jintong is most sure of.
He will not return to the Jiang family.
Even if he has to stay here for the rest of his life, he will never go back.
Xie Luo also slowly accepted the fact that she couldn't see. She began to explore slowly and finally she could do something on her own.
Jiang Jintong's mother didn't know what was going on with Jiang Jintong, but the Song family was obviously worried and they all called to see how Jiang Jintong was doing.
After all, almost two weeks have passed, and Jiang Jintong still hasn't called to cry about coming back.
This far exceeded their expectations.
Mrs. Jiang gradually calmed down, and she seemed to finally realize that Jiang Jintong had really changed.
It was obvious that he had the selfish blood of the Song family and the cold blood of the Jiang family, but in the end he became a person completely different from them.
How weird is that?
...How strange.
Maybe her feeling at that time was right, Jiang Jintong would really never come back.
Mrs. Jiang finally withstood the pressure and allowed the so-called "punishment" to continue.
She couldn't give Jiang Jintong the fairness he really wanted, but she could give Jiang Jintong the freedom he wanted as much as possible.
Jiang Jintong grows fruits and vegetables in his yard. Although he doesn't have any fields outside, he has enough food.
Before coming, Mrs. Jiang filled the house with food.
Of course, the same goes for Song Qian.
Even though it's claimed that they want to endure hardships, you can't really let both children suffer, right?
After Tingmei left, Xie Luo became more dependent on Jiang Jintong.
Although they had enough food, they did not have enough firewood, because firewood was needed to make fires, cook and boil water, so Jiang Jintong would go into the mountains with the village chief to collect firewood every few days.
He doesn't make much each time, usually just enough for a few days.
At the beginning, Jiang Jintong was exhausted after carrying firewood, and he was completely unable to get firewood by himself.
Later, he gradually mastered the pattern just like cooking. Even without anyone to lead him into the mountains, he could go into the mountains and get firewood by himself.
Xie Luo would wait for him to come home every day, and she would slowly do what she could.
One day, when Jiang Jintong went up the mountain to chop firewood, someone who was traveling with him suddenly discovered a field of red fruits.
Ma Laosan also followed them up the mountain to find some medicine. He also saw the fruit and saw the men picking them happily, so he called out to Jiang Jintong: "Baizi, pick some too. The fruit is called snakeberry and it's delicious."
Jiang Jintong nodded, then made a gesture of thanks, walked forward and picked some fruits to take back.
A field of snakeberries was quickly picked by several people, and the group went down the mountain chatting and laughing.
When Jiang Jintong came back, Xie Luo was walking around the yard with a stick.
She has been familiarizing herself with the furnishings in the house these days, and today she suddenly had the idea of taking her blind stick and going outside for a walk.
With a "creak", the door was opened from the outside, but the person did not come in immediately. Instead, he knocked on the door twice, making a "click" sound.
This was their special code so that Xie Luo could identify whether the person coming back was Jiang Jintong.
Xie Luo stopped what he was doing, knowing that Jiang Jintong had returned.
"Xiaobai, why did you come back so soon today?"
Jiang Jintong put down the firewood, then took out the snakeberries from the gaps in the firewood and washed them clean by the well water. Then he walked to Xie Luo and put some fruits in Xie Luo's hands.
【Bring you some gifts. 】
【There are many people today, so it is done faster. 】
"Gift? What is this? Fruit?"
[Well, Dr. Ma said it’s called snakeberry.]
"Thank you. I haven't eaten this kind of fruit for a long time."
Xie Luo picked one up and put it in her mouth to taste it. It was still the same sour and sweet taste she had when she was a child, with a little fragrance, which completely occupied her taste buds.
It’s just a pity that the taste is the same as her childhood, but the person who picked raspberries for her when she was a child is no longer here.
She never ate snakeberry again after that.
It’s not because I don’t want to eat it, but because I don’t have the chance to eat it again.
Read, study, and work.
Later, due to many reasons, life completely separated her from the past and led her to a completely different path.
Those beautiful but mediocre wishes for couples in childhood were eventually shattered.
She seldom went back to that place afterwards, because she no longer looked forward to seeing the people there, and she was afraid that she would become overly sentimental.
[What's wrong? Is it not tasty? ]
Jinjin raised her eyes slightly, and there was a hint of doubt in her beautiful light brown eyes.
Because Xie Luo's expression didn't seem to indicate that the food was delicious, she stopped smiling and talking after eating one, as if she was in a daze over the taste.
Damn it, is it because the food is so disgusting that I am daydreaming and looking for excuses to comfort him?
Liar Dr. Ma, he clearly said it was delicious.
Jinjin didn't eat any of them herself, but brought them all back to Xie Luo as if they were treasures.
Xie Luo seemed to come back to his senses. He shook his head with empty eyes, then smiled: "It's delicious. It's really delicious. It's really delicious."
【Then why don't you smile? 】
"puff."
Xie Luo couldn't help but smile. She reached out to touch Jiang Jintong's position and said, "Squat down a little. I just thought of something. Open your mouth."
She touched the other person's cheek and handed one to Jiang Jintong's mouth. After the other person ate it, she smiled and asked, "Is it delicious?"
“… ….”
Jiang Jintong chewed the snakeberry in his mouth and felt that the taste was just average, but for some reason, it became sweeter the more he chewed it.
He glanced away and saw that the tips of his ears were slightly red.
Xie Luo didn't think too much when she did this. After a while, she realized that the other person's fingertips were very hot.
What kind of skill is this? It was clearly useless just now.
Seems to be shy.
