The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine
Chapter 62 Inexplicable Emotions
It was just past three in the afternoon when she got home. Chen was watching the fire in the kitchen, preparing the braised food to be sold the next day.
Jiang Qingyi first went to the main house to greet Old Lady Jiang and Xiaojie was playing with small wooden blocks here.
She did not go to greet Zhao as she did in the past. She would not get Zhao's favor anyway, so she was too lazy to go.
Jiang Qingyi felt really bored as she couldn't find anything to do, so she simply went back to her room and entered the space.
Many of the spirit stones that had been placed in the space before had disappeared, leaving only a few. That was why she was sure that the space was slowly absorbing energy in preparation for upgrading.
Today, chickens and fish are raised in the space, and crops grown in the fields are all taken care of by farming robots.
Jiang Qingyi only came in at any time to take a look and find something she needed.
The field is divided into several areas by farming robots, where grains, vegetables, medicinal herbs, fruits, spices and other things are planted.
Every area looks very tidy, which will satisfy your obsessive-compulsive disorder!
There is just not enough space for planting. I hope the space can be upgraded soon, and then there should be more space.
Jiang Qingyi's eyes were fixed on a patch of strawberries in the corner. She saw that the fruits were ripe and planned to pick a few to satisfy her craving.
She went to the cabin to get a small basket and walked briskly to the edge of the strawberry field.
As she got closer, she saw more ripe strawberries. She squatted down, picked a big strawberry and put it in her mouth.
The sweet juice bursts in the mouth instantly, with a hint of sourness and a very good taste.
Compared to the strawberries I’ve eaten before, the ones grown in the space are juicier and more fragrant, and can be said to be of superior quality.
The strawberries are about the size of a baby's fist, and it is a bit difficult to eat them in one bite.
Jiang Qingyi had half a strawberry in her mouth, and her hands were constantly moving, putting one bright red strawberry after another into the basket.
She hadn't finished picking a row of fruits yet, but the small basket she brought was no longer able to hold them.
Fortunately, the ripe strawberries in the field would remain in the best shape, so Jiang Qingyi was not in a hurry to pick others.
She found that the wooden houses in the space were all empty and there were still many things that needed to be purchased.
She had never thought about this issue before, but thinking about leaving in the future, Jiang Qingyi decided to buy some more things, otherwise it would be inconvenient.
When Jiang Qingyi came out of the space, she had a basket in her hand, which was full of big strawberries.
She stayed in the space for a little too long. In the kitchen, Chen had already prepared the braised food and was preparing to cook dinner.
Old Mrs. Jiang thought about her two daughters-in-law who had been busy all day, so she asked them to prepare some simple sauerkraut noodles that could be cooked in one pot.
The strawberries that Jiang Qingyi brought out became dessert after the meal.
After Zhao tasted one, she liked it very much and ate several more in a row.
Jiang Qingyi thought of the fact that she was still pregnant, so she reminded her, "Mom, strawberries are a cool fruit, so don't eat too much."
It was originally a well-intentioned reminder, but when Zhao heard it, she felt that Jiang Qingyi was disrespecting her. Her face changed and she threw the strawberry in her hand back into the bowl.
"If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. What's so special about it? From now on, I won't eat it even if you beg me to!"
After she finished speaking, she got up and went back to the house.
Jiang Dahai didn't know why his wife's mood was so strange. Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, he stood up and said,
"Guihua (Zhao's name) is pregnant and in a bad mood. She didn't mean that. You guys eat first. I'll go see her. Xiaowu, don't forget it."
Jiang Qingyi did not respond.
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Qingyi with some distress. As if to comfort Jiang Qingyi, she reached out and took two more strawberries, "Xiaowu, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. She doesn't eat this fruit, but she eats it. It tastes sweet and she loves it."
Wang also said, "My aunt likes it too."
Chen also whispered to comfort her, "Second Aunt likes it too. To be honest, I have never seen such a beautiful and delicious fruit in my life. Xiaowu is really nice."
Jiang Dahe was scratching his head anxiously, not knowing what to say to comfort Jiang Qingyi.
Several people treated her with caution, fearing that Jiang Qingyi would be sad because of Zhao's words.
Seeing their expressions, Jiang Qingyi found it a little funny, and she actually laughed out loud, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Mom is pregnant, so this is going to happen."
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Jiang felt even more distressed for Jiang Qingyi.
On the other side, after Zhao returned to the room angrily, she hugged the pillow and pinched it hard for a long time, as if to vent her anger.
Jiang Dahai walked in and asked in a good-tempered manner, "Wife, why are you angry again?"
Zhao glared at Jiang Dahai with red eyes, "Yiyi took out the fruit for us to eat, didn't she? I just ate a few more and she tried to stop me. You know I've been vomiting everything I eat since I got pregnant with this. I finally found something I like and can eat without vomiting. What's wrong with me eating a little more!"
Jiang Dahai could only helplessly explain, "Our daughter is proficient in medicine. She said that you can't eat too much because it's for your and the baby's good. She said that with good intentions, so don't be angry. If you really like it, I'll ask my daughter if she has any more and give it to you tomorrow, okay?"
After hearing this defense, Zhao suddenly realized that she seemed to have misunderstood Jiang Qingyi, but she had already said it, and it would be embarrassing to take it back, so she kept her mouth shut.
Jiang Dahai knew at a glance that she was about to be coaxed, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "We still have some money saved. When the weather clears up, I'll take you out for a walk and buy you a silver hairpin."
Zhao's face lit up with joy when she heard this. When she was in the village, everyone used wooden hairpins to tie their hair. When she went to the town, she envied others for having beautiful jewelry on their heads. Now she could have one too.
Zhao was coaxed instantly and then leaned in Jiang Dahai's arms.
Jiang Dahai breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted Zhao's back.
The matter just passed, and the Jiang family members all agreed not to mention it again.
……
The next morning, when she returned home from her stall, Jiang Qingyi felt that the atmosphere at home was a little strange. The usually cheerful Jiang Dahe looked depressed.
Seeing this, Chen asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you in a hurry to take a bath today?"
Jiang Dahe started to complain angrily, "You don't know, when we went to buy offal today, the butchers raised the price as if they had agreed. It used to be two cents per pound, but now it's eight cents.
If you said the price was only increased by one or two cents, I would understand, but they increased it several times. They just saw that our braised food business was doing well, so they wanted to make things difficult for us. It really pissed me off!"
Chen frowned and asked, "Did you buy it?"
Jiang Dahe got even angrier when he heard this, "Then he must have bought it, otherwise there would be no braised food to sell tomorrow."
Chen also became angry. "These people are really greedy for money. They don't even think about the fact that if we don't buy them, their offal will just be thrown away!"
