The house was made of earth, so earthy it was practically crumbling.
The furnishings inside the house were even simpler: a large earthen kang (heated brick bed) that was more than two meters wide, with no kang cabinet at the end of the kang. Instead, two small stools were supported by two wooden planks placed across them, and the bedding was placed on top of them.
This is done because if the bedding is placed directly on the kang (heated brick bed), and the kang gets too hot, the straw mat on the kang will stick to the heat.
Looking at the ground, there was only a dining table standing in the corner, and no other furniture.
We were truly penniless!
Despite being poor, the house was clean and tidy, with no dust on the floor, no clutter on the kang (heated brick bed), and even the window frames were clean.
Qiao zhiqing looked at the neatly folded bedding at the end of the kang ( heated brick bed). Judging from the tidiness, Qin Huai must have cleaned the room himself.
His lips immediately curled up.
As expected of the man she chose, his diligence... complements her perfectly!
At this moment, Qin Huai had already placed the kang table on the kang, and two large bowls were also placed on it. Seeing that Qiao zhiqing was still standing on the ground in a daze, he immediately thought that she was disgusted by his family's poverty.
A hint of sadness flashed across his eyes, and even his voice was low: "Come and eat!"
"Coming!" Qiao zhiqing responded and returned to the edge of the kang (heated brick bed), only to find that there was meat in the bowl.
Of course, Qin Huai's bowl only contained potatoes and sorghum rice, while his own bowl contained only a small amount of sorghum rice, with the rest being mostly meat.
Seeing that Qin Huai had given her all the meat, Qiao zhiqing once again marveled at her excellent taste! And on top of that, he was handsome! His stamina... was amazing!
whee!
The more I look at it, the more satisfied I become!
Qin Huai felt a little uncomfortable under her intense gaze, even though he was a man. "Let's eat!"
As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and was about to eat.
"Wait!" Qiao zhiqing suddenly picked up her bowl and quickly scooped half of the meat from her bowl into his bowl.
"I don't eat much, half a bowl is enough for me. You should eat more to replenish your energy, otherwise tonight..."
Oh dear! I accidentally blurted out what was on my mind.
However, Qiao zhiqing did remember something.
This is not the 21st century, but 1975. In this era, sleeping together before marriage may not result in being drowned in a pig cage, but it will still be a source of gossip and criticism.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qiqi suddenly looked up and said, "Qin Huai, let's go get our marriage certificate today!"
"Cough cough..."
Qin Huai choked on his food, looking up in astonishment: "What did you say?"
"You've already slept with her, don't you want to take responsibility?" Qiao zhiqing's voice immediately became aggrieved when she saw that he didn't seem to care. "You weren't like this last night. You kept holding her and wouldn't let go, and you kept saying you'd take responsibility for her..."
"You...shut up!" Qin Huai felt like he was going crazy.
How can you bring up something like that after it's happened? Especially when it's a girl bringing it up!
If this happened to anyone else, Qin Huai would have suspected that the person was possessed by a ghost, but if it happened to Qiao zhiqing... she was known in the village for being audacious, spoiled, and willful.
Although I hadn't had much contact with Qin Huai before, I wasn't surprised by it anymore.
"Didn't you like Hou Chen? Didn't you say in the village yesterday that even if Hou Chen and Zhang Zhiqing got together, you wouldn't give up and would definitely break them up?"
"Did I say that? I must have been out of my mind!" Qiao zhiqing lied without batting an eye, since those words were said by the original owner of the body, not by her.
And what she wanted to say was-
"Now I'm telling you, I only realized today that Hou Yan is no good at all. Look at him, all slicked-back hair and greasy face, he has no manliness at all! But you're different. Look at you, you're tall and strong, you're very manly, and I suddenly realize that I' starting to like you! Compared to you, Hou Yan is a million miles away!"
Qiao zhiqing searched through the memories left by the original owner and found that she only knew Hou Chen as a person, but had no idea what he looked like. However, thinking that he was an educated youth, he must be the kind of person who is gentle and weak.
Thinking that the scumbag who betrayed her was also that type, Qiao zhiqing suddenly felt that the original owner of this body was just as blind as she was.
Fortunately, her eye condition has now been cured.
Qin Huai looked utterly bewildered. Seeing how much Qiao zhiqing had changed overnight, comparing him to Hou Chen and praising him so highly, a smile quickly crept onto his lips.
But the next second, the smile on his lips vanished. "You liked that kind yesterday, and you like this kind of me today. Who knows what you'll like in a few days..."
This woman is good at deceiving him ,Fortunately, he was smart and reacted in time.
"No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was, from today onwards, I only like you!" Upon seeing that Qin Huai had misunderstood, Qiao zhiqing immediately put down her chopsticks and grabbed the man's large watch to show her loyalty.
When Qin Huai saw that she was starting to touch him inappropriately again, he instinctively tried to pull his hand back.
Qiao zhiqing immediately reached out with her other hand and held him tightly.
Gazing at that handsome face, though her heart was pounding, she still said with deep affection, "What I mean is, I only love you, and from now on, it will only be you."
Qin Huai's eyelids twitched, and after a pause, he raised his head and asked suspiciously, "Are you sincere?"
He always felt that everything this woman said was a lie.
Because he had seen Qiao zhiqing following Hou Chen around the village several times before, being so attentive and flattering, how could she suddenly stop loving him overnight?
Qiao zhiqing had also been in relationships before, and seeing Qin Huai like this, she knew he was definitely feeling insecure. She was secretly delighted and continued to stare intently at him.
"Of course I'm sincere! I'm yours now, how could I be lying?"
Qin Huai's ears turned red instantly!
Seeing that this woman dared to say anything, he immediately spat in his heart: Shameless!
The next second, she suddenly remembered that she must have teased Hou Chen in the same way before, and her face darkened instantly. She pulled her hand back.
Let's eat!
"Oh." Qiao zhiqing knew that matters of the heart couldn't be rushed, and she certainly couldn't let Qin Huai immediately believe that she couldn't live without him.
But she wasn't in a hurry; there was plenty of time.
She finally picked up the bowl and shoveled a mouthful of sorghum rice into her throat. It was a bit spicy and not as smooth as the sorghum rice she ate in the 21st century, but she liked coarse grains and could still eat it.
The key point is that the meat tastes good.
There were no restaurants in the village at that time, and Qiao zhiqing smiled contentedly when she realized that Qin Huai had made it himself.
I have to say again, her husband is amazing!
She needs to get the marriage certificate quickly and make this wonderful man ho completely.
Thinking about this Qiao zhiqing suddenly frowned.
