Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Have you felt my sincerity?_1

”Su Hua?” Xiao Changyi didn’t understand the meaning of these two words.

”It means sweet nothings~”

Xiao Changyi frowned, ”It feels a bit derogatory.” He paused before solemnly adding, ”What I said was sincere.”

”Mhm mhm, I know~” An Jing immediately nodded. The sweet nothings from her husband were of course sincere~

Xiao Changyi was still frowning, ”It feels like you’re brushing me off.”

An Jing immediately tiptoed and planted a deep kiss on Xiao Changyi’s lips before hurriedly asking, ”Do you feel my sincerity now?”

Only then did Xiao Changyi’s frown smooth out, and the corners of his cool lips slightly curled up as he softly replied, ”Mhm.”

”Let’s go, keep me company while I cut tofu, it’s so boring to do it alone.” An Jing, with a smile, took Xiao Changyi’s left arm and led him into the kitchen.

”Mhm.”

It was supposed to be helping her cut, but as it went on, eventually, Xiao Changyi was the one doing all the cutting.

And An Jing sat opposite him, her hands cupping her face, a smile never fading from her face as she watched Xiao Changyi cut as if she could never tire of watching him for a lifetime.

Although Xiao Changyi’s hands were busy slicing the hundred catties of tofu, he occasionally lifted his eyes to look at An Jing, seeing her smiling tenderly at him, her eyes full of affection for him. His cool lips, which he couldn’t keep down even if he tried, curled up.

Seeing the corners of Xiao Changyi’s mouth rise, An Jing didn’t make a sound to tease him, instead continuing to watch him with a beaming smile.

The road ahead was still long, but thankfully, I have you to walk it with me.

At this moment, that was the thought in both of their hearts.

...

Two days later, Shi Xiaolan and An Fu brought another hundred catties of tofu into Jiuping Village, to the amazement of the villagers.

A hundred catties of tofu turned into fermented tofu should still weigh a hundred catties, right? At ten coins per catty, selling them would rake in two thousand coins, which is two taels of silver! Xiao Changyi and An Jing are going to get rich!

Aunt Liu Hua and the others were even more envious. Two hundred catties of tofu! If only they had bought all that from their store instead of Shi Xiaolan and An Fu!

Ignorant of the villagers’ thoughts, Shi Xiaolan and An Fu just came to An Jing and Xiao Changyi carrying the tofu.

Seeing Shi Xiaolan and An Fu arrive, An Jing was both amused and irritated, ”Didn’t I tell you not to rush? I really don’t need this hundred catties of tofu so urgently!”

”We’re not in a hurry anymore. Last time, we brought it to you in just one day, but now, it took us two days,” Shi Xiaolan argued in a low voice.

Clack, clack, clack.

An Jing didn’t want to say much more; these two were just worried about delaying her business. She promptly checked the tofu, and only after confirming it was still fresh and tender did she hand over one hundred and fifty coins to Shi Xiaolan.

”Count it, see if it’s the correct amount.”

”Mhm.” With the experience from last time, Shi Xiaolan counted quickly in front of everyone. ”It’s correct, exactly one hundred and fifty coins.” Saying this, like the last time, she handed the money over to An Fu for safekeeping.

Thinking about how she managed the finances in her own home, An Jing instantly felt she was much more fortunate than Shi Xiaolan.

As soon as Shi Xiaolan and An Fu left, An Jing and Xiao Changyi began cutting the tofu. It took a whole six hours for An Jing and Xiao Changyi to finish processing the tofu, which they then put between layers of straw to ferment.

The next day, after having breakfast and working in the vegetable garden in the yard for a while, An Jing and Xiao Changyi planned to go to the fields to check on their crops and to cut some firewood to bring back.

But before they could even leave, they heard the sound of an approaching carriage. Soon, a carriage stopped at the entrance to their courtyard.
