C463 I Can't Bear to Turn Around
Tea was supposed to have the effect of awakening the mind. Liang Ying sat there for a long time and drank three servings of tea in one go. Shi Jiangyuan thought maybe it was because of this that he became more energetic, so he just sat in the living room and watched TV.
However, by 12: 00 PM, all the television stations were off, and snowflakes were everywhere on the television screens.
Shi Jiangyuan found that he was still full of energy even though he had been tossing and turning for so long, so he turned on the lights in the yard and started working in the yard.
The next morning, Kang Ying woke up and walked into the yard, unable to believe her eyes. The yard was as good as new, all the flower pots were neatly arranged, the surrounding weeds, even the tender tips of the grass, were all cleaned up.
As for who cleaned them up? Definitely not a conch girl. She fell asleep last night and Shi Jiangyuan is the only one who can work.
Kang Ying felt a wave of tenderness surge through her heart. Was this person for real? Was he trying to help her finish her chores before leaving?
However, Shi Jiangyuan, who had been tossing and turning for the whole night, was not as lively. He was still lying on the bed snoring.
Kang Ying looked at the time. It was already late, so she could only knock on the door and wake Shi Jiangyuan up.
Fortunately, Shi Jiangyuan was just sleeping late and not drunk, so he was able to get out of bed in a daze.
Shi Jiangyuan woke up after washing up. When he came out of the bathroom, he saw Kang Ying sitting leisurely in the yard. She seemed to be in a good mood, but when she saw him appear, she even nodded at him and said, "It's much cleaner now!"
Shi Jiangyuan didn't understand at first, but when he looked around the yard later, he remembered that he did a good thing when he couldn't sleep last night, so he chuckled.
Kang Ying prepared a delicious breakfast, which consisted of mixed grains, cakes and fried eggs. The fried eggs could be wrapped in cakes. Shi Jiangyuan found that Kang Ying was quite particular about eating and was different from other people.
Now everyone likes to have a big bowl of porridge in the morning with a steamed bun, a roll or a fried dough stick.
At noon, however, it was rice. If there was Red Braised Meat, then it would be considered as an extra dish. The Red Braised Meat would also be a bit fatter. Only after eating would one have the strength to work.
If one had the ability to participate in all sorts of social events at night, big fish, big meat, and drinking wine were not a problem. Without social events, small commoners would also have porridge.
However, Kang Ying always cooked three meals a day very diligently. In addition to rice and rice porridge, mixed grains, porridge and whole-wheat pancakes were also the main dishes on the table. Shi Jiangyuan ate less of these before, but his mother often mentioned the staple food that was good for the body.
As for the meat, Kang Ying often cooked beef, chicken, and fish. She ate less pork than other rich families. If he didn't come to eat at night, Kang Ying would often use water to get a big pot of vegetables. If he came to eat, Kang Ying would still cook a few dishes for him.
When Shi Jiangyuan asked her why she had so many tricks up her sleeve, Kang Ying told him about carburizing water in the morning, eating meat at noon, eating vegetarian food in the evening and so on.
Shi Jiangyuan was confused by what he heard. Although this era wasn't as lacking in materials as the early 1980s, nor as poor in economy, most of the people were still used to suffering. With the memories of the bitter days in the past, eating until one was full was the greatest happiness, especially having big fish and big meat was the best way to make up for it.
If people were to hear Kang Ying talk about this, they would definitely be flabbergasted. There were even people who paid attention to eating calories?
Isn't it better for people to eat fatter and stronger?
Kang Ying said how important a light body was to future health. She was still slim, and she didn't want to eat too much to keep her appetite up. When she grew older, her metabolism would decrease and she would suddenly become fat.
Now that she was thin, she felt comfortable. Her pants and clothes were small, and she moved as easily as if she were flying.
Shi Jiangyuan actually could not refute Kang Ying's claims. His intuition told him that Kang Ying's words were reasonable.
"In the future, I will also eat like you. No need to prepare another serving for me."
"You're a man. Can you bear it if you don't eat meat?" Kang Ying joked, "However, a healthy diet does not mean that you don't eat meat, beef, or chicken. The low-calorie meat is still edible."
Some habits of life were rooted deeply in her heart. If Kang Ying was still the original owner, she would definitely like the taste of braised meat and spicy chicken.
After Kang Ying stayed in the body of the original owner for a while, the original owner's habits began to be wiped away by her, and she gradually returned to her light eating habits.
She didn't want to force Shi Jiangyuan to be the same as her. After all, Shi Jiangyuan was a man and had a high body consumption. So, he didn't need to eat too much for the time being, so she didn't expect Shi Jiangyuan to be willing to eat the same food as her.
Kang Ying thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to change your lifestyle just to keep up with my rhythm."
"But if your habits are good, why don't I change them?" Shi Jiangyuan said confidently.
Kang Ying was momentarily speechless. "Alright, then it's up to you."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They had a tacit understanding in their hearts.
After finishing Kang Ying's mixed grains cake, Shi Jiangyuan felt his stomach was very comfortable, so the two of them drove to Crooked River Airport.
Kang Ying was already very familiar with the road to Qujiang City. She went back and forth a few times, and when Shi Jiangyuan was done, she would drive herself back.
Shi Jiangyuan, on the other hand, was very worried. At the airport, before entering the security check, he turned around and said to Kang Ying,
"Be careful on the road, be careful of your surroundings. If you see a place where you can repair the road, endure it. Don't rush on your way."
Kang Ying thought he was as long-winded as the old man, but he didn't seem impatient. She listened quietly with a smile on her face from time to time.
In her two lifetimes, no one had ever nagged her like this. Not only was she not impatient, but she also felt that she was being doted on.
Seeing that boarding time was almost up, Kang Ying reminded Shi Jiangyuan to hurry up and go in.
Shi Jiangyuan turned around and pushed his luggage a few times, then turned around and said, "Call me when you get home. Even if I'm on the plane, I can still receive it when I get off. I'll only be relieved if I know you're safely home."
Kang Ying quickly nodded like a chick pecking rice. If she didn't sincerely agree, Shi Jiangyuan might not leave.
Shi Jiangyuan looked at the Kang Ying in front of him. Her skin was as white as snow and her face was rosy. The haggard and skinny face from a few months ago had long disappeared.
Shi Jiangyuan wanted to hug her, but he felt that this action was too sudden. He forcefully held himself back, turned around, and dragged his luggage into the security check.
Kang Ying watched his back until he disappeared into the distance before she slowly turned around and left.
