There were both vegetables and meat in the mushroom egg soup. It was fresh and fragrant, smooth and refreshing. The more Song Xi drank, the more she liked it. She suddenly wanted to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms. Thinking of her physical condition, she could only wait. If she went up the mountain at this time, she would definitely drag Zhou Yi down.

Sensing Zhou Yi’s burning gaze, Song Xi gulped down the soup in his mouth and asked in confusion, “Brother Yi, why are you looking at me like that? Can you fill your stomach just by looking at me? Can looking at me relieve your fatigue for the day?”

There was still so much rice and soup in his bowl. In other words, he had been looking at her since she picked up her chopsticks. Was there a need to be so exaggerated?

“Wife, with you looking like this today…” Zhou Yi gestured at the two braids hanging in front of her with his hand, his heart burning.” You look especially good. ”

Although her skin was not very fair, her eyes and brows were like a painting. The more Zhou Yi looked at her, the more he felt that Song Xi was charming and the more he felt that he was lucky. Other people could not get such a good wife even if they met before they got married!

“Brother Yi, do you mean that I look good today and I didn’t look good in the past?” Song Xi suddenly lifted her chest and puffed out her chest proudly.

“Of course you’re good-looking. My wife is good-looking at all times.” Zhou Yi hurriedly raised his hand, almost swearing to the heavens. He knew that if he said something wrong today, he would definitely not get anything good.

“That’s more like it.” Song Xi rolled her eyes at him coquettishly and lowered her head to continue eating her dinner. For some reason, Zhou Yi’s words made her feel sweet. Perhaps it was because Zhou Yi had brought her a different feeling!

“Wife, actually, I caught a pheasant when I was picking mushrooms. It was just that it was too thin. Other than bones, it was just skin, so I left it with my father. I asked him to help us raise it for a while. When it grows fat, I’ll make soup for you.” Zhou Yi drank the soup and looked at Song Xi with sparkling eyes.

Song Xi was shocked. “Brother Yi, you’re too awesome! A pheasant can fly. You can even catch it alive. I’m impressed, I’m impressed!”

Seeing his wife’s admiration, Zhou Yi was overjoyed. He stood up, crossed the table, and whispered into Song Xi’s ear, “Wife, I’ll let you see an even more awesome side of me in the future.”

The weather was already hot, and Zhou Yi’s breathing was even hotter. It instantly made Song Xi blush. Although she was a modern person, she did not have much experience in relationships. She could not help but blush when she was gently teased.

However, she was slightly better than the girls of this era. In this era, most girls would blush when facing male comrades, let alone speaking with them. Of course, those who needed something from the male comrades naturally would not blush.

Song Xi was a little embarrassed and angry as she reached out to push Zhou Yi back. “Hurry up and eat your food. Can’t you see that the blanket is still drying outside? You have to quickly put it in the wardrobe later.”

Zhou Yi quickly kissed Song Xi on the lips before returning to his seat and continuing to eat.

Song Xi touched her lips and glared at Zhou Yi coquettishly. “So sleazy.”

She had been eating and drinking soup just now and had not even wiped her mouth, but he had done this.

Looking at his wife’s flushed face, Zhou Yi smiled briskly. “It’s very sweet.”

Song Xi lowered her head and completely ignored him.

After dinner, Song Xi took her clothes to take a shower. She did not need Zhou Yi to help her now, while Zhou Yi went to collect the old blanket and clothes.

At night, Song Xi sat on the bed and read the newspaper that was pasted on the wall under the light of the candle. There were poems, essays, stories, and political events of this era. It was good to read more.

Although Little ‘Song Xi’ had graduated from junior high school, she did not know anything about the outside world. Although she was a top student and was familiar with history, when she really came to this time and space, she realized that it was useless to talk on paper. If she did not understand clearly and said the wrong thing or wrote the wrong words, what should she do?

A special era was coming, so she had to be even more low-key and careful.

As for finding a job in the city, that was even more impossible. If there were jobs in the city, there would not be so many educated youths going up and down the mountain in the future. It was because there were not many jobs in the city. Even if there were, she would get the chance as a rural person. Therefore, the path of finding a job in the city might not work unless there were opportunities.

However, she had money and a ‘supermarket’. Life was the same wherever she went. Why did she have to squeeze into the city? Besides, at that time, the city was filled with red armbands and all kinds of things often happened. She would be questioned everywhere she went. It might not be better than the mountains.

After Zhou Yi finished showering, he returned to his room and saw his wife sitting on the bed in a daze, reading the newspaper. He got onto the bed and leaned over to Song Xi’s side. He asked in a low voice, “Wife, what are you thinking about?”

“I’m not thinking about anything. I’m just looking around.” Although she knew that Zhou Yi would not do anything to her, she was still a little flustered at night. Hence, after hearing Zhou Yi’s words, Song Xi quickly lay down to rest.

Looking at his little wife’s cute appearance, Zhou Yi could not help but reach out and pinch the tip of her exquisite nose. He said, “Sleep” and blew out the candle before closing his eyes.

Song Xi slept for a while in the afternoon and was not sleepy now. She waited until Zhou Yi’s even and long breathing sounded. Knowing that he was completely asleep, she used her consciousness to enter the supermarket and began to open the packaging of the biscuits. She put the biscuits into the transparent packaging that she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative that needed to be sealed with saws. When the time came, she would just use a small sealing machine to seal it.

There were also melon seeds, peanuts, and candy. In this era of scarcity, everything was easy to sell, especially before the new year.

Song Xi wanted to earn more money before the new year. When the time came, she would exchange for more tickets.

Suddenly, Song Xi felt a pain in her stomach, as if there was a meat grinder twisting. It was so painful that she felt that there was no place that was okay in her stomach. At first, Song Xi did not understand what was going on, but when she felt something warm, she understood. It was menstrual cramps.

But this was too f*cking painful!

In the modern world, she had never suffered in this aspect!

Song Xi quickly went to the sanitary supplies area and tore open a packet of tissues. She took a lot of tissues and a packet of sanitary pads. She took two pieces and quickly retracted her consciousness. She endured the pain in her stomach and fumbled for the flashlight in the darkness. Just as she got up, Zhou Yi woke up. Seeing that Song Xi was covered in sweat, he was worried. “Wife, what’s wrong?”

“It’s fine. I’m going to the toilet.” In this era, no one could even afford to study, let alone explain such things. Knowing that Zhou Yi did not understand, Song Xi did not intend to say much about this.

Besides, the tissues and sanitary pads in her hand were not products of this era. She could not let Zhou Yi see them.
