Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Grandma Got Hit

Once the fire was lit, Chiang Xiao decided to first boil a pot of Ganoderma water, to help Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang replenish their strength quickly. If it weren’t for the time they spent together today, getting to know each other, she might have hesitated to let them drink the Ganoderma water. But now, she truly considered them family and naturally wanted the best for their health, without any reluctance.

She asked Zhao Xin to watch the water and went into the inner room, then slipped into the Space to dig up some Small Ganoderma.

However, when she saw the four Ginseng plants set aside, she couldn’t resist the temptation; she couldn’t wait and quickly allocated a plot of land to plant the four Ginseng roots.

After planting the Ginseng, she didn’t have time to look closely. She dug up two Small Ganoderma, sliced them, and hastily returned from the Space, walking briskly to the stove to throw the slices into the boiling water.

After boiling for a while, she set the pot aside to cool and started another pot to cook dumplings.

There was no meat in the house, so the dumpling filling was pure cabbage.

This cabbage, Chiang Xiao knew, was the one she bought from Xiang Mingying for one yuan last time.

Zhao Xin looked at her slim figure, noticing how deftly she worked and couldn’t help feeling sympathy for her.

It looked like life was really tough for this family, and it seemed like Chiang Xiao was the one holding everything together.

”Sister-in-law, just keep the things the captain gave you, eat what you can, spend what you can, no need to be too polite...”

He hadn’t finished speaking when Chiang Xiao interrupted him, ”Is this your captain’s payment for bribing me? To pretend to be his fiancée? My worth must be quite high then!”

The total value was over a hundred!

”It’s not a bribe, how could it be a bribe?” Zhao Xin became anxious.

”Alright, save it, hurry up and eat the dumplings so we can leave. Do you really want to stay at my house for the night?” Chiang Xiao scolded, tapping his head with her hand.

There was no way around it, Zhao Xin looked too much like a baby-faced kid, and second, he was indeed quite a bit younger than her actual age. In Chiang Xiao’s eyes, he was just a little brother next door.

To him, she couldn’t bring herself to show much respect.

But Tyrant Meng was different, hmph, he looked so much older!

Old-looking Tyrant Meng: Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!

Could he have caught a cold? Impossible, he’s as tough as they come, hardly ever getting colds!

Seated on the green-skinned train, Meng Xinian slightly shifted his body.

Having been on the train all day, his wounds itched and ached a little.

But the thought of returning to settle accounts with that girl made the discomfort entirely bearable.

Chiang Xiao finished cooking the dumplings and poured a few dishes of vinegar, urging Xu Linjiang and Zhao Xin to eat quickly.

She herself didn’t feel very hungry, so she only ate four or five dumplings quickly.

While they were eating, she boiled more, put them in a vegetable basin, and prepared to deliver them to Ge Dejun.

Seeing that Zhao Xin had come with a military canteen, she thought for a moment, poured out the plain boiled water inside, and filled it with Ganoderma water.

They shared a revolutionary camaraderie after all, and although she was annoyed with Meng Xi and Zhao Xin for calling her ”sister-in-law” and causing trouble earlier, Chiang Xiao still couldn’t bring herself to dislike Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin, seeing her filling his canteen, didn’t say anything, just felt a warmth in his heart.

See, see, he knew she was a good girl. Although she was quite fierce in her words, she still cared for him.

Zhao Xin had no idea what kind of water she was pouring for him, thinking she just believed that drinking plain boiled water wasn’t good, so she gave him hot water instead.

Just as they were about finished eating, someone suddenly ran in from outside, shouting, ”Chiang Xiao! Chiang Xiao! You better come and see, your grandmother’s been beaten up!”
