Mingzhu's words made Jiang Duo blush. His wheat-colored face was obviously coated with a layer of color. People in this era are more innocent. She suppressed her laughter and asked again: "You are talking, what if you If you don’t want me, I won’t delay you.”

Jiang Duo has never been in contact with a girl who speaks so directly, and he is really not used to it.

But thinking about how enthusiastic and unrestrained she was in the cellar at noon today, it seemed that... it wasn't that surprising.

The two of them had done something so intimate, and he had to take responsibility. He said hoarsely: "You must get married!"

"Okay, since you still want me, I won't return the bride price to you."

Jiang Duo nodded, and then, as calmly as a gourd, he cleaned the fish with Mingzhu.

The two returned to the kitchen together. Mingzhu did not rush to cook the fish, but put the soybeans that had been soaked for more than half an hour in a garlic mortar and mashed them into a paste.

Jiang Duo was not good at cooking. He didn't know why she was pounding soybeans, but seeing how hard she was bending over while sitting in front of the pot, he reached out his hand and said, "I'll do it."

Mingzhu shook her head, "No, can you make a fire? Help me make a fire and boil a pot of hot water. I don't have time to boil the water."

She had never used an earthen pot in the countryside and had no idea how to make a fire quickly, but she couldn't keep saying that she didn't know anything, otherwise even a fool would see that there was something wrong with her.

Jiang Duo readily agreed, added water to the pot, took out a water bottle from the side of the pot, filled it with well water, and stuffed it back into the small hole in the pot.

Mingzhu figured out the clue. It turned out that in the days when there were no kettles, this thing was used to boil water.

Jiang Duo went out and grabbed a handful of leaves and stuffed them into the mouth of the pot to make a starter. After lighting the starter with a match, he slowly put the firewood in and pulled the bellows on the side. The fire started to burn instantly——

Mingzhu was pounding soybeans and learning carefully. Making a fire didn't seem that difficult.

After the soybeans were pounded, she added some water to dilute it, and then took a large ladle of cornmeal from the noodle vat, mixing half with hot water and the other half with soy milk water, mixed them together, and set them aside for later use.

Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Duo poured the boiled water into an old-fashioned green iron mesh thermos.

After Mingzhu cleaned the pot, she patted a few cloves of garlic and cut a few slices of ginger. She took an iron ladle out of the little lard left in the enamel jar, heated the oil in the pot, and sautéed the ginger, garlic, and dried chili until fragrant. Finally, she trotted to the small black porcelain jar in the corner of the yard, filled a spoonful of home-brewed soybean paste, and put it back into the pot.

When she was cleaning the yard this afternoon, she saw two small black jars in the shade. She thought they were empty, but when she opened them she was surprised.

One is filled with sauce, and the other is filled with pickled pickles.

Mingzhu put the fish into the pot, fried it on both sides, and added a little vinegar to remove the fishy smell. Finally, she added a large ladle of water, then rolled the mixed cornmeal into semicircles and stuck them on the wall of the pot.

When the lid of the pot is clicked, it feels like stewing fish in an iron pot!

She grabbed the small stool next to the dining table, sat down next to Jiang Duo, and sat with him waiting for the pot to start.

It was a bit awkward for the two of them to sit like this without saying anything, so Mingzhu took the initiative and asked, "Have you discussed your marriage with your family? What if your family doesn't agree with you being with me?"

She didn't know where Jiang Duo was from or what his family was like, but she had read books and TV series before and knew that many educated youths in this era got married in rural areas. After that, the college entrance examination would be opened, and then educated youths would return to their hometowns, and then it would be opened... Many married educated youths will eventually choose to divorce in order to return to the city.

Jiang Duo is a rare militiaman sent from outside. Although he is different from the educated youth, his nature is probably similar and he will eventually leave.

She is not worried that Jiang Duo will divorce her in the future for the sake of their future, and there is no affection between the two. There is no point in running such a marriage. After the policy is improved, they divorce and go their own ways. For Mingzhu, it is Good thing.

If she still can't return to her own world at that time, she can still use her 'prophet' advantage to change her future destiny. Whether it's taking exams, going to university, continuing to work in her profession, or doing business, she can do it alone. Live beautifully!

I saw Jiang Duo calmly saying: "My marriage is my own decision."

Even though he said that, Mingzhu felt that it was better to say some things clearly in advance.

"I know that this marriage... was caused by my fault. Don't worry, I'm not a stalker. If you regret it, you can ask for divorce from me, and I will definitely let you go."

Jiang Duo looked at the only girl in front of him in surprise...

He didn't expect that she would say these words. Divorce is not a bright thing, especially for a woman. This means that she will be stabbed in the spine at any time in the future.

But now that she can say the word divorce so casually, could it be that——

Jiang Duo thought of something and asked calmly: "Why did you do that to me at noon today?"

Mingzhu didn't react and asked casually: "What kind of thing?"

Three seconds later, both of them were silent.

Mingzhu swallowed her saliva, recalling everything in the cellar, her mouth felt inexplicably dry.

but……

In the memory of the original owner, the person she was looking for was not Jiang Duo!

"This... was purely an accident. I didn't expect that you drank that glass of sugar water in the end." She didn't want to say too much and simply attributed everything to an accident.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Duo remembered the scene when Mingzhu delivered food to Xu Kai this morning, so——

Her sugar water is for Xu Kai!

The person she wanted was Xu Kai, but he accidentally drank that glass of sugar water and ruined her good deeds!

Jiang Duo's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the surrounding atmosphere fell into a state of silence and low pressure.

In the final analysis, it was all a mistake, but the two of them did do that kind of thing. No matter what her true intentions were, he must be responsible!

As for whether the bad rumors about Mingzhu are true or false, Jiang Duo can only observe slowly in the future.

Mingzhu didn't want to continue this topic that was not easy to discuss in depth, and said: "After you get married, you can move in with me."

Jiang Duo is not from this village, so he can't build a house here, and he can't stay here for long.

Before he came, he was still thinking about housing after marriage. Now that she said so, it was hard for him to shirk it, but he would not live in this house in vain.

"Okay, from now on my wages, work points and various tickets will be handed over to you. Besides, I have a house in my hometown. I will take you back when the matter here is resolved."

Listening to this, Mingzhu couldn't help but wonder, where is her hometown, what problem is she solving, and what are she going to do when she goes back?
