Chapter 317 Xue Li Arrives
"Have some, these are the rice dumplings I made, a must-eat snack for the New Year in the South. Try them." How could Yi Chi miss any opportunity to feed her? Of course he tried hard to persuade her and tempted her with food to achieve his goal.
When Jiang Yu heard the word "tangyuan", he suddenly remembered his childhood in his previous life.
People in the south do eat dumplings on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year. Some eat glutinous rice balls with fermented rice, some eat lard and sesame dumplings. Ginger fish likes both, so my mother will cook the three together: glutinous rice balls with fermented rice, and glutinous rice balls.
How many years had it been since she last had glutinous rice balls? Jiang Yu herself couldn't remember clearly. She looked at the small bowl in front of her, which contained five round glutinous rice balls and milky white soup. She silently picked up the spoon, scooped out a glutinous rice ball, and lifted it up, blowing on it to cool it down.
Yi Chi also scooped out the remaining few pieces in the pot, put them in a bowl, brought it to the opposite side of Jiang Yu, and ate with her.
There was not enough lard, and this was the first thing that came to Jiang Yu’s mind when he bit into the glutinous rice balls, because the sesame filling was not fluid enough.
But the sweet taste always makes people happy. Jiangyu stuffed the remaining half directly into his mouth, chewing the soft and glutinous glutinous rice ball, and his eyes narrowed with beauty.
Seeing that she was eating happily, Yi Chi felt so satisfied that he couldn't express it in words. He could only look at her stupidly.
It is Yi Chi’s habit not to eat only sweets for breakfast. He feels that eating only sweets is like not eating anything, so he steamed some dumplings. After Jiang Yu finished eating the dumplings, he served them to the table for the two to share.
The skin of steamed dumplings will be firmer and chewier, and the filling inside is added with jelly. After steaming, the jelly melts into water and becomes a delicious soup. The ginger fish, one bite at a time, and the juicy dumplings are also so delicious that they can make people forget all their worries.
After breakfast, Yi Chi silently took out the E language learning notes he had prepared for Jiang Yu. The two looked at each other and started a new round of foreign language learning on the first day of the new year.
At the educated youth center, Xue Li put on his new clothes, put the olive knife given by Jiang Yu in his pocket, and went out with a basket.
Chen Jinghan heard her closing the door and quickly got up to see what was happening. He only saw her back as she turned out of the alley.
He quickly closed the door and chased after him.
A path had been cleared on Zhida Road by the people who were punished to sweep the streets. Xue Li looked at the cowshed on the right side of Yaoer Mountain, and then at the villagers who were sweeping the snow not far ahead. He decided to go and see if Lin Anna was among the working team.
She was not there, so Xue Li walked up to those people, took a look, and asked one of the ladies.
The old lady said, "She is too sick to get up, and the team leader asked her to rest at home." She had a bad attitude when she spoke, but it was directed at Lin Anna. After all, if one person is missing, their family will have to do one more person's work.
Xue Li nodded, thanked him, then turned around and walked up the mountain on the snow.
Chen Jinghan watched her go all the way to Lin Anna's wooden house. She was confused, but she didn't stop and always followed not far behind her.
Xue Li knew that Chen Jinghan was following behind her, but she was too lazy to care. She didn't plan to do anything today anyway, she just went to say hello.
It’s a new year, and Lin Anna is lying on the kang, not wanting to get up.
It was because her head felt too heavy. Ever since she had the nightmare last time, her physical condition had been getting worse and worse. She often felt headaches, chest tightness, depression and lack of energy.
She felt that she should get up and get herself something to eat, but she didn't know if it was because she was not feeling well, she always felt a bitter taste in her mouth, everything she ate tasted bitter, and she even lost interest in eating.
She picked up the thermos on the bedside table, poured some water into the cup, raised it up and took a sip; it was also bitter.
Lin Anna put down the cup irritably and prepared to go back into bed and continue lying down.
"Knock knock." Suddenly, someone knocked on her door.
Lin Anna frowned, not quite remembering it, so she cleared her throat and shouted, "Who is it?"
"I'm Xue Li." Xue Li, holding a basket, answered very calmly while standing outside the door.
She did retaliate against Lin Anna in private, but the person involved was unaware of it. So even if it was just to make herself feel better, she had to get back at him openly!
Lin Anna's brows frowned instantly. Why did Xue Li come?
She only felt the blue veins on her forehead throbbing, and the pain made her feel weak instantly.
Xue Li was very patient. He stood for a while, knocked on the door again, and said bluntly outside the door, "What? Are you too guilty to see me? Lin Anna, we haven't settled the score yet. There's no point in you hiding."
Lin Anna propped up her head and stared at the door fiercely. Countless thoughts of killing Xue Li flashed through her mind, but she slowly let them go because she couldn't afford the risk now. She couldn't touch Xue Li, otherwise Jiang Yu, the lunatic, would definitely not let her go, and she didn't have the ability to do so now.
She clenched her teeth, slowly sat up, took deep breaths to relieve the symptoms of her headache, and then got up to open the door for Xue Li.
Chen Jinghan stood not far away and watched. He saw Lin Anna open the door and let Xue Li in. At that moment, he wanted to stop Xue Li, as if there was a place behind the door where people were eaten. He was afraid that Lin Anna would hurt Xue Li again.
Is Xue Li afraid? She is not afraid, because she knows that Lin Anna's physical condition has deteriorated a lot after taking the medicine for a period of time. She has prepared electric batons and machetes that can be used at any time, as well as olive knives for self-defense. She is not afraid that Lin Anna will do something desperate.
This wooden house was very different from the one Jiang Yu had prepared for Yi Chi. At least it had no windows. An oil lamp was lit in the room. The dim light highlighted Lin Anna's pale face, making her look like a female ghost with a weakness buff.
Xue Li unceremoniously took a stool and sat down. She looked at Lin Anna and saw her legs soften and she sat directly on the kang. She was very satisfied with the effect of the drugs. "You look even weaker than me, an injured person. Oh, I forgot, you are also an injured person."
Lin Anna's face darkened, and she looked at Xue Li unkindly, "That's all thanks to you swordmen! Tell me, what are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"
"Watching you laugh at me? You know you're a joke too. Everyone in the team knows about your shameful behavior, so why should I come all the way up the mountain to see you? Lin Anna, I'm just very curious, how can you talk to me with such confidence after doing such a bad thing?" Xue Li didn't understand. She didn't understand the inner thoughts of these people with such low standards. She was really confused. How could they be so bad when they are all human beings?
It's not like he hasn't heard of horrifying stories before, but this was Xue Li's first personal experience, so he realized that there are really people who are so terrible and so cruel.
"Xue Li, don't you know the story of the winners and the losers? Why can't I be confident and justified? I just lost by one move now, but it doesn't mean I will always lose to you!" Lin Anna really thought this woman was ridiculous.
