Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 231: She Doesn’t Think She Can Salvage Anything at the Scrapyard

Next, Jiang Yexun wanted to comfort Su Xiaoxiao and say more to her. But the little girl was too drunk, and she fell asleep after barely holding on for two minutes. Jiang Yexun had no choice but to lie down and let Su Xiaoxiao sleep soundly in his arms.

When Su Xiaoxiao woke up again, it was already the next morning. The sunlight outside was bright, indicating that the weather was good today. She burrowed into the blanket, wanting to sleep a little longer, but her headache was quite severe.

"Ugh..." Su Xiaoxiao uttered a soft moan of pain.

Outside, Jiang Yexun heard the movement and immediately knocked on the door, "Xiaoxiao, are you awake? I’m coming in."

"Yeah," Su Xiaoxiao softly hummed.

Jiang Yexun then came in with the honey water that he had prepared earlier. He sat on the edge of the bed and gently helped the sleepy-eyed little girl sit up.

"Have a sip of honey water first. It can relieve your hangover," Jiang Yexun opened the thermos, offering the warm honey water to Su Xiaoxiao’s lips. He had deliberately made it slightly warm so that it could be swallowed comfortably and felt soothing.

After watching Su Xiaoxiao finish the honey water, he asked with concern, "Feeling any better?"

"Yeah, I need a little more rest," Su Xiaoxiao responded softly. This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she had gotten drunk, and she felt truly awful.

"You shouldn’t drink anymore in the future. The rice wine in the countryside may not have a specified alcohol content, but it’s no less potent than the Erguotou you find on the market," Jiang Yexun said, his brows furrowed in worry as he hugged Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao, feeling the unpleasantness of this hangover, naturally nodded obediently in agreement. "Yeah, although the rice wine does taste sweet and fragrant, it indeed packs a punch. I won’t drink it anymore in the future."

She used to see Jiang Yexun drinking often and thought it wouldn’t hurt to have some herself.

"Then you rest for a while. I’ll go get some water for you to wash your face," Jiang Yexun lifted a pillow from the side and placed it under Su Xiaoxiao’s waist to support her. Once she was settled, he went out with a basin.

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Su Xiaoxiao held a bowl of lean pork and cabbage congee and ate it slowly, sip by sip. It wasn’t until she finished two whole bowls that she finally felt better.

"After we fell asleep yesterday, did those living next door cause any trouble?" she asked Jiang Yexun curiously.

Jiang Yexun shook his head. "After we came back yesterday, it seemed like they had a quarrel, but I’m not sure of the details. However, it should calm down for a while. But we don’t need to worry about them. Today is the weekend, so we should give a call to Grandpa Zhang."

"Yeah, indeed. We haven’t asked about the situation in Beijing yet," Su Xiaoxiao nodded hastily. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

This time, their Hong Feng Production Team had caused too much trouble, making her too preoccupied to care about Zhang Hanyu’s situation in Beijing.

"After we handle things here, we’ll go to the new team leader’s house and ask when they’ll draw lots to decide who will return to their hometown this year," Jiang Yexun quickly arranged all the things that needed to be done.

Now there are less than ten days left, and they not only need to finish everything they need to do, but also start packing their luggage and pick out gifts for their future in-laws. Otherwise, it will be too rushed, and they won’t have time to choose the items carefully.

Su Xiaoxiao checked the time on the watch she pulled out from under the pillow. It was only 9:30 in the morning, so they still had plenty of time before leaving.

"Let’s go to the town. I want to visit the scrapyard," Su Xiaoxiao suggested.

"Do you want to salvage things at the scrapyard?" Jiang Yexun asked, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head. "No, not really. Those who are daring have probably already scoured the scrapyard. There are plenty of capable people in our country, and I don’t believe they would leave good things there for me to pick up. I just want to see if there are any sets of textbooks on mathematics, physics, and chemistry. These books are from a long time ago, and you can’t buy them anymore. To collect the whole set, I have to look around."

Although the scrapyard in Shanghai is larger, it has been a paradise for scholars and businessmen for decades. Even in times of hardship, there will still be many people with vision and abilities who won’t give up on pursuing higher knowledge. Therefore, it’s more likely to find this set of books in a small city in the northeast than in Shanghai.

"Okay, get dressed. I’ll go find Uncle Wang and hitch a ride on his ox cart. We can also have lunch at the state-owned restaurant by noon," Jiang Yexun said as he stood up.

"Aren’t we riding bicycles?" Su Xiaoxiao asked, somewhat surprised.

"You were freezing last time we rode bicycles. Let’s take the ox cart this time. We can wrap you in our old quilt, and I can shield you from the wind," Jiang Yexun couldn’t bear to see his sweetheart shivering like that again.

He couldn’t bear to let her suffer like that again.

"Okay," Su Xiaoxiao remembered the painful feeling of the north wind blowing into her ears and immediately stopped objecting.

As Jiang Yexun hurriedly left the room, Aunt Guo walked in curiously, "Xiaoxiao, where are you going now?"

"We’re planning to go to the town. Brother Yexun is going to ask Uncle Wang to lend us his ox cart," Su Xiaoxiao said as she layered clothes on herself, rolling into a ball instantly.

Her palm-sized face was propped on the bright red scarf. Her skin was as white as snow, and her bright black eyes sparkled like grapes.

Seeing her cute appearance, Aunt Guo smiled lightly, "Come here, let me measure your hand."

Su Xiaoxiao obediently stretched out her hand.

Aunt Guo placed a piece of furry rabbit fur under her palm and outlined a rough shape with a chalk pencil.

"Alright, when you come back, these gloves will be ready. I also prepared a set of rabbit fur scarves and hats for you. They’ll keep you warm for sure," she said satisfactorily as she collected the items.

Su Xiaoxiao expressed some concern, "Auntie, your health is more important. Don’t tire yourself out by making things for me."

"What’s tiring about this? I used to do everything by myself. Last time when we built the house, you asked me to buy a few big items, so I bought a sewing machine on the side. Now, making these things is a breeze. I can finish everything in an afternoon. Making a piece of clothing takes just half a day. It’s not too difficult," Aunt Guo said with a smile.

Nowadays, people don’t have any good ways to pass the time. She just likes to cook and make clothes. But in the past, living with the people from Old Jiang’s family, it wasn’t convenient to make things for her two children. She was afraid that the people from the production team would criticize them. Also, sewing a little bit at a time in the past was especially straining on the eyes. How could it compare to using a sewing machine? As long as the line is straight, you can sew a whole seam easily.
