    80: Miss Down and Loyal Orion (6)

    When Luo Cheng came out with a bag of rice, he saw Su Yan talking to the person opposite. He hurried forward and heard Su Yan say: “I’m not very familiar with this place. You’d better ask other people.” The man had no choice but to walk away with regret. When Su Yan turned around, she saw Luo Cheng standing behind her and smiled guiltily, “Although I’ve been here a few times, I don’t remember the way.”

    Luo Cheng had no doubts and said in a low voice: “Well, the rice is bought, let’s go.” He held the rice bag on his shoulder with one hand and held Su Yan with the other. After leading Su Yan through several streets, he arrived at the place where bamboo baskets were sold.The aunt was a little surprised to see them come back so early: “You’re back so soon, aren’t you going to buy something else?”

    Luo Cheng wanted to buy some delicious food for Su Yan and let her replenish her body. She was lighter than before, and he felt more guilty because he was suffering.

    Su Yan had obviously guessed what he was thinking, and said to the aunt, “I don’t need anything else. I mainly came here to buy rice this time.” Luo Cheng looked at her silently, and suddenly felt that such a little wife was really nice.

    After saying goodbye to their aunt, the two walked back on the road. When they passed by a stall selling steamed buns, Su Yan smelled the fragrance and couldn’t help but take a second look. Luo Cheng stopped, took out two copper coins from his arms and said, “There are only so many coins left, which should be enough to buy one steamed bun.” After saying that, he was about to walk towards the stall. Su Yan hurriedly stopped him and said, “Brother Luo, don’t buy it.”

    Luo Cheng didn’t listen to her and said to the hawker: “Bring me a meat bun.” Su Yan’s words of persuasion were all stuck in her throat. She looked at Luo Cheng with a trace of blame in her eyes. Why can’t this man save money?

    “It’s still warm, eat it quickly.” Luo Cheng handed the bun to Su Yan with a sincere smile.Su Yan couldn’t say anything to blame, so she had to take it, break it in half and hand it to him, but he didn’t take it and said, “I bought this for you. Eat it quickly.” Su Yan said dullly, “If you don’t eat it, then I won’t eat it either.” How could he be so kind to her? Although it was all because of his wife’s status, she still couldn’t help but be moved.

    Luo Cheng became anxious upon hearing this and hurriedly took the bun from her hand, “Don’t stop eating…” Su Yan looked at him, her eyebrows arching uncontrollably.

    In fact, it is not necessarily true that Luo Cheng was good to her because of his wife’s status. If the original owner had been changed, Luo Cheng might not be able to notice it even if she glanced at the bun dozens of times. Now Su Yan would let him treat her well from the bottom of his heart, not because of the so-called responsibility.

    When the two were walking on the path, Su Yan couldn’t help but preach to Luo Cheng, “Don’t do this again. I didn’t say I wanted to buy it, so don’t make the decision for me, okay? We need to save money now and can’t waste it on unnecessary things…” Su Yan rambled all the way. If it weren’t for Luo Cheng’s consideration, she wouldn’t have said so much.Luo Cheng responded, but there was no way of knowing what he was thinking. Probably in his heart, anything Su Yan liked was “necessary”.

    This time, Su Yan was “invited” to get into the car by Luo Cheng again. When passing through the village, the eyes of the young girls were full of envy. The people from Luo Cheng were handsome and strong, and they also loved their wives. If she hadn’t disliked him for being poor at the beginning, would she be the one sitting in the car now?Everyone was thinking silently.

    When they got home, the sun had just set. Su Yan looked at Luo Cheng who was about to cook and said, “Can you teach me how to cook today?” Luo Cheng was obviously a little surprised, but still replied: “Well, you can watch from the side.”

    After having rice, there was no need to cook porridge. Su Yan watched Luo Cheng cook the rice seriously. Although she knew how to cook, she only used a rice cooker and didn’t know much about this method.By the time Luo Cheng steamed the rice, Su Yan had almost learned the lesson.Luo Cheng came over and said, “I’ll go out to pick some vegetables and I’ll be back soon.”

    Su Yan responded. After Luo Cheng left, she casually took a look in the kitchen. The living standard in ancient times was not high, and Luo Cheng’s family was also very poor. There were no other seasonings in the kitchen except a small jar of oil and a bunch of chili peppers on the wall. It was estimated that the small jar of oil was extracted from the animals Luo Cheng hunted while hunting.She rummaged around in the kitchen and finally found a bag of beans. She took them out and soaked them in water to cook them when Luo Cheng came back.

    Luo Cheng came back after a while, carrying a few vegetables in the basket. Su Yan took a few glances. There were green vegetables, cabbage, and some unknown wild vegetables. Luo Cheng put the vegetables down and took out the steamed rice. When he saw the beans soaked in the wooden basin, he looked a little strange.”Do you want to eat beans?” He turned around and asked Su Yan.

    “I saw it in the bag, so I took it out. Can’t you eat these beans?” Su Yan said nervously.

    “It’s edible. I’ll cook it and eat it later. It’ll be delicious.” Luo Cheng smiled honestly. The bag of beans was originally the seeds he planted in the ground during spring plowing. Since she wanted to eat them, let her eat them. He would think of another way to deal with the seeds.Su Yan didn’t know about the seeds, so she took the vegetables outside to wash. Luo Cheng looked at her back and smiled.

    There was a small well in Luo Cheng’s house, and she usually drew water from it. When she put the vegetables in the basin, Luo Cheng had already filled the water. He checked with his hand. Although the sun was out, the water temperature was still low, so he said to Su Yan: “Ayan, go to the kitchen and take a look. Don’t let the fireEven if it’s out, don’t let the water in the pot dry up.I’ll wash the vegetables.” Actually, he had just added firewood and poured a lot of water into the pot. Su Yan knew it, but she still listened to him and went in. He was always like this, even the way he cared about others was so clumsy.

    After eating, Luo Cheng picked up the bamboo strips and knitted them again. Su Yan had nothing to do and happened to see a hole in Luo Cheng’s clothes. She hurriedly asked Luo Cheng to find the needle and thread. She practiced with a piece of rag for a while, then asked Luo Cheng to take off his clothes, and she sewed and mended it.Luo Cheng took the time to take a look and found that her skills were not good and her stitches were crooked, not even as good as his own, but he did not speak.

    Su Yan finally mended the tear, brought it to Luo Cheng’s eyes and said, “Look, is the sewing okay?”

    Luo Cheng smiled and nodded, seeming really satisfied.But Su Yan moved her clothes and said strangely: “Hey, this place has been mended too…” She looked at what Luo Cheng had sewn, and then at what she had sewn, and there was a hint of warmth on her face. It turned out that Luo Cheng’s needlework was much better than hers, but she was so proud just now.

    “I’ll take it apart, you can sew it yourself.” Su Yan said gloomily.The clothes in her hand were snatched away by Luo Cheng, “That’s it, it’s pretty good.” He wouldn’t let her take it apart even if she said anything.Su Yan was a little depressed and made up her mind to learn needlework, at least better than Luo Cheng!
