When traveling into a period novel, it is reasonable to just lie down and watch the show!

Chapter 189 Gap

Li Lijuan in the room was completely unaware of all this and was completely focused on the letter that was specially left for her.

I would take it out and look at it from time to time, sometimes covering my face with the letter and smiling secretly, and sometimes holding it up to look at the flamboyant words on it, and my heart felt warm.

"Maybe the army is looking for him to go back, otherwise he wouldn't leave in such a hurry..."

Li Lijuan muttered softly, how could she not know if others didn't know? Her brother Yanli came here to serve as a soldier, how could he suddenly become a postman? If he was assigned a job, Uncle Qi and the others would definitely arrange for Brother Yanli to return to Beijing, how could he still stay in this shabby place.

The reason she left in such a hurry this time was obviously because she had a new mission. Others might not know what was going on, but how could she, who grew up in a military compound, not know?

Besides, her brother Yanli was not on the same level as these poor educated youth from small places. How could the Qi family agree to marry someone from the village?

They are just a bunch of jumping clowns. Jiang Shumei is the only one in this group who is capable of dealing with things. When the time comes, she won't mind helping Jiang Shumei and giving her some small favors to get rid of them.

......

More than ten minutes later, Jiang Shumei came back with a plate of food and a large bowl of millet porridge, with two big white steamed buns on top of the food.

"Lijuan, the food is back, please eat it quickly."

Jiang Shumei put the food in her hand on the small table next to the bed, then looked up at the medicine bottle, which was still half full.

"What kind of dishes did you bring back?"

"I thought you should eat something good since you're sick, so I ordered a portion of braised pork. Also, I thought you might not have much of an appetite, so I ordered two vegetarian dishes: spicy and sour shredded potatoes and stir-fried bean sprouts, and a bowl of millet porridge. Come on, grab your chopsticks and eat."

Jiang Shumei considerately handed the chopsticks in her hand to Li Lijuan.

"Sister Shumei, you are quite good at taking care of people. Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed. If my brothers and sisters were not married, I would really like you to be my sister-in-law.

You are much more hardworking than my sisters-in-law. None of my sisters-in-law can cook."

When Li Lijuan talked about her sisters-in-law, she curled her lips in disdain, picked up the millet porridge in front of her, took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction.

I haven't eaten for such a long time, and my stomach feels quite comfortable after drinking some millet porridge. However, looking at the large pieces of greasy braised pork on the plate, I have no appetite at all.

She placed the plate in the porridge bowl and turned it around, so that the vegetarian side was facing herself.

"Sister Shumei, please eat all the braised pork. I have no appetite."

"..."

Jiang Shumei did not respond to Li Lijuan. She was still immersed in the wonderful life of becoming Li Lijuan's sister-in-law!

Endless money to spend, endless meat to eat, endless new clothes to wear... This is a life she never dared to dream of. It's a pity that she doesn't have Shen Yechu's stunningly beautiful face.

"Sister Shumei?"

Li Lijuan looked at Jiang Shumei who was in a daze and shouted again.

"Hmm? What did you say?"

"Why are you in a daze? I just told you to eat all the meat. I don't have much appetite."

As Li Lijuan spoke, she broke off half a steamed bun and started eating it in small bites. She tried both vegetarian dishes and found that the sour and spicy shredded potatoes were more to her liking.

"How can this be possible? These dishes are all made for you. You are already sick, how can you not eat something good?"

A light flashed across Jiang Shumei's eyes, but it passed quickly, so quickly that Li Lijuan didn't even notice it.

"Just eat it if I tell you to. I usually eat meat too, but you've been in the countryside for a few years and haven't had much meat. I'll only eat half of this steamed bun, and you can eat the rest."

"You... it would be a waste if you gave it to me~ Forget it, since you don't like this dish, I'll make you another meat dish next time. If you don't have an appetite, drink some porridge and eat some vegetables first. If you're hungry later, I'll go buy you more."

Jiang Shumei said with an embarrassed look, the chopsticks in her hand had already touched a piece of braised pork.

"What's the big deal about waste? As long as someone eats it, it's not a waste. Go ahead and eat it."

Li Lijuan felt full after just a few bites of food. Besides having no appetite, she also had a small appetite. When she was at home, she was full after just two bites.

In order to get her to eat more, her mother usually prepares different kinds of food for her.

I didn’t eat much, let alone the food in the hospital cafeteria. I was able to eat so much thanks to Jiang Shumei’s contribution recently. The food Jiang Shumei cooked was not as delicious as the food in the hospital!

Just when Jiang Shumei put the first piece of braised pork into her mouth, the melt-in-your-mouth texture and the blend of sweet and salty flavors made her feel like she was floating in the air.

This is the best delicacy in the world~

Because she hadn't eaten meat for a long time, Jiang Shumei's body began to tremble constantly.

But she couldn't act too cowardly, so she could only endure it as much as she could. For a moment, the expression on her face was a little complicated.

"Sister Shumei, if this braised pork doesn't taste good, don't eat it. Pour it out and don't force yourself."

Li Lijuan looked at the strange expression on Jiang Shumei's face and thought that the braised pork was not tasty.

"No, no force. We can't waste it."

Jiang Shumei quickly waved her hands. She would regret it to death if such good meat was thrown away.

Seeing her like this, Li Lijuan just let her do as she pleased. Let her eat if she wanted to. She had no appetite anyway. She drank the whole bowl of millet porridge. She felt relieved as she had food in her stomach.

As for Jiang Shumei, the lunch she had could be considered the best meal she had had since the Chinese New Year this year. Even when she was living at home before going to the countryside, she had never eaten so much braised pork at one time by herself.

She ate up one and a half steamed buns and a full plate of vegetables by herself. She even ate the soup at the bottom of the plate with the steamed bun.

"Lijuan, I'm going to return the dishes to the cafeteria. I'll be back soon."

Jiang Shumei burped after finishing her meal and got up to leave. Li Lijuan couldn't help but look at the disgust on Jiang Shumei's face as she left. She was so petty that she couldn't even bear to pour out the soup...

......

Li Lijuan stayed in the hospital for a total of four days. By the time she returned to the village, the autumn harvest was almost over. Before returning to the village, Li Lijuan took people to the supply and marketing cooperative to thank Jiang Shumei for taking care of her over the past few days.

I picked out a flowery cotton jacket for Jiang Shumei, it's quite expensive...

Jiang Shumei was so happy to have new clothes that she became even more devoted to Li Lijuan...
