Quick Transmigration: Su Cha's Life in That Era

What I mean is, do what you like, and I'm willing to go along with you because I care about you, so I'm willing to stay with you.

Lu Qiguang lowered his head, picking up beans as he explained.

It's okay if the simpleton doesn't understand; he can explain it more clearly.

Su Cha lowered her head, but the corners of her mouth curled up.

"Yeah, I like you too."

Lu Qiguang secretly glanced at Su Cha and saw her smiling. His eyebrows and eyes also smiled, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

It was warm all around.

Lu Qiguang followed Su Cha, picking beans, soaking beans, and cooking beans together.

"How long will it take to boil?"

Su Cha was busy while returning home.

"Simmer over low heat until it's almost done, then let it sit overnight in the residual heat. It should be ready by tomorrow morning."

Lu Qiguang didn't understand, but he was obedient.

"Okay, whatever you say."

The next day, the beans were ready, and Su Cha taught Lu Qiguang how to pound the beans and smash them into sauce blocks.

The two of them were busy and having a great time.

In the evening, after they each returned to their own rooms, one wrote letters home, and the other wrote in his diary.

After the sauce blocks dried, the family of three wrapped them in newspaper and put them away. Only then did the tea finally stop brewing.

Lu Qiguang's health has improved a lot since he first arrived.

His health was due to both premature birth and being spoiled by the Lu family, resulting in a weak immune system. In addition, he was a picky eater in Kyoto and didn't eat much, so it's no wonder he was so frail.

Since moving into the Su family home, he has been eating well. Although Su Cha didn't make him do any heavy work, he was busy with Su Cha all day long. Especially during this period, he ate well and slept well. Su Cha would sometimes make some medicinal soups and broths, all made with local medicinal herbs from the mountains. The three of them were nourished, their blood and qi were abundant, and their resistance was excellent.

After the first snow fell, the whole village began to hibernate.

Su Youliang couldn't stay put.

He didn't have the habit of drinking heavily and bragging with his brothers; instead, he would go deep into the mountains. Sometimes he would search for several days without catching a single wild animal, but he never stopped.

This makes Su Cha and Lu Qiguang, these two young people, seem more like they're just looking to retire.

There was nothing they could do; the Lu family was too generous, sending the Su family a lot of good things, including delicacies from land and sea, which the three of them couldn't possibly finish eating in a short time.

With more food than they could eat at home, Su Cha was naturally too lazy to go up the mountain.

But feeling that staying there all the time wasn't a good idea, Su Cha looked at Lu Qiguang, who was leaning against the fire wall on the kang (heated brick bed) reading a book.

"Lu Qiguang, pack your things."

Lu Qiguang looked at Su Cha.

"what?"

Su Cha opened the cabinet at the end of the kang (heated brick bed).

"Find something to do, and I'll take you to Heitangzi to see my mom and dad."

Lu Qiguang's heart skipped a beat.

My breathing is a bit heavy.

"real?"

"Is that even possible?"

Su Cha pulled out two sweaters from the closet, both of which were knitted for her by Lu Qiguang.

One item in each hand.

Which one should I wear?

Lu Qiguang had recovered and took a couple of deep breaths to calm down.

Looking at the simpleton who had asked him the question, he pointed to the red one.

"This one is festive."

Just for good luck.

I hope this trip to meet my mother-in-law and father-in-law goes smoothly.

Su Cha frowned.

"But I want to wear this."

He was holding onto a navy blue and white striped shirt.

Lu Qiguang looked at the sweater Su Cha was holding and suppressed a laugh.

"That works too, I'll wear this one."

Originally, when Lu Qiguang was knitting, he planned to knit a white one for Su Cha, and he and Uncle Su would knit a navy blue one for themselves.

He bought yarn in three colors: red, white, and navy blue. He used the red yarn to knit a sweater for Su Cha and the rest to knit scarves.

There aren't enough white ones; even with the loose fit of the red sweater knitted by Su Cha, it's not enough for one sweater.

Lu Qiguang then asked Su Cha if she could weave a more fitted garment.

Su Cha looked at the navy blue wool yarn.

"You can do a combination of these two colors, one row of blue and one row of white, then another row of blue and one row of white, that would be enough."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qiguang thought, "That's a good idea! We can use more blue, and we can also add white to our sweaters."

He told Su Cha, and Su Cha agreed.

And so, the two of them made their own matching sweaters.

The remaining navy blue yarn was used to knit a sweater for Su Youliang and a pair of woolen trousers for Su Cha.

But when Su Cha tried on the wool pants, they were not only too tight in the crotch, but one leg was also longer than the other.

And so, Lu Qiguang took apart the woolen pants again and knitted another sweater for Su Youliang. With the last bit of wool left, he knitted a neck warmer for Su Youliang.

Hearing that Lu Qiguang agreed with her choice and even wanted to wear the same sweater as her, Su Cha smiled sweetly, while Lu Qiguang stared intently at her.

Su Cha noticed and gave him a reproachful look.

"You're still looking? You should go back and tidy up too."

"If we go now, we have enough time. We can have a meal at my mom's, stay for two hours afterward, and then rush back to have dinner with my dad tonight."

Su Cha made perfect arrangements.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Lu Qiguang quickly put down his book, grabbed the warm cotton-padded jacket that was pressed on the kang (heated brick bed), put it on, left Su Tea House, and ran towards his own room.

When the others came back, it had been completely transformed.

He wore a sweater with army green pants, a belt around his waist, and thick deerskin boots that Su Cha had made for him, with an army green cotton coat on top.

Su Cha frowned as she looked at it.

"Put your hat and scarf on."

As he spoke, he pulled Lu Qiguang toward his room.

He was still muttering to himself.

"Those are my mom and dad, not outsiders. They should just stand up straight and be clean. There's no reason for them to get cold."

Don't you know your own body?

If I catch a cold, won't you feel sorry for me and take care of me?

You're suffering, and I'm suffering too.

Don't sacrifice warmth for style; saving face only leads to suffering.

"Okay, okay."

Lu Qiguang was helpless, but he kept smiling.

He just loves it when his simpleton keeps nagging him.

A large man bent over, letting Su Cha put a hat and scarf on him.

After tying her scarf, Su Cha patted Lu Qiguang.

"Turn around so I can see you."

Lu Qiguang obediently turned around once.

Su Cha chuckled.

"Looks good! It's impressive."

With a wave of his hand.

"Come on, let's go to the cottage and get some things for my mom and the others. It's your first time visiting, so you should bring more. It'll make me look good too."

Lu Qiguang felt helpless.

"But everything in the house is yours."

"How about we skip today? I'll buy some from the commune tomorrow, and we can go the day after."

Su Cha remained silent.

"A lazy donkey on a millstone produces a lot of excrement and urine."

Lu Qiguang: "..."

Su Cha: "Today it's postponed to tomorrow, tomorrow it's postponed to the day after tomorrow, and in the end it's never done."

Even if it's not laziness, but a genuine desire to go, how can you be sure something won't come up tomorrow?

Besides, most of the good and new things in our little house were mailed by your family. Taking these things is the same as you taking them.

Also, don't waste money on things you already have at home.

At this point, Su Cha became worried.

"If all else fails, just give me the money and leave it with me. I don't trust you to spend money so recklessly."

Lu Qiguang: "..."

He raised an eyebrow.

"If you want to manage my money, you have to agree to get a marriage certificate with me. My money can be spent by my partner, but it can only be managed by my wife."

Suzhou tea is a given.

"It's because we're not old enough yet. We'll get our marriage certificate after the New Year, once we're old enough."

Lu Qiguang suppressed a laugh.

"Okay, I'll give you my money when I get back from Mom's."

Su Cha nodded.

"OK."

Lala Lu Qiguang.

"Don't say anything more. Go find something. If we delay any longer, we won't have enough time. When we get to Mom's, we'll have to stay for dinner. She definitely won't let us leave without eating, and Dad will make a scene when he gets home tonight."

Lu Qiguang thought about Su Shu's personality.

"Then let's hurry up."

The two hurried to the small house, packed a few bags, and headed towards Black Pond...
