Chapter 53 I can only play dumb like this

After eating, Jiang Yu drove Qin Yue away on the pretext of being tired.

I took out a piece of frozen meat to thaw, took a shower, blew dry my hair and tied it up before going to the kitchen to get busy.

There was no time left, so I just made pickled mustard tuber and shredded pork noodles for my grandfather and brother.

Zheng Xiu followed into the kitchen, "Ayu, Captain Qin..."

"I know."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Sister Xiu told me what pursuit is, and I know Qin Ta is pursuing me.

But I can't accept him, right? I'm not from this world. What if my stove breaks down one day and I can't come here anymore?

Now I study when I can, make money when I can, and don’t care about anything else.

I don't hate him. He didn't make it clear, and I can't say that you shouldn't like me. We are not suitable for each other, right?
I can only play dumb like this."

Zheng Xiu: "..."

This black-bellied scumbag was definitely not taught by her, absolutely not.

"Isn't that right?"

Seeing Zheng Xiu's indescribable expression, Jiang Yu asked, blinking her big eyes.

"Yes! That's right!"

Zheng Xiu nodded vigorously. What does it matter if a woman is a bit of a scumbag? It was Captain Qin who took the initiative to give her to Ayu.

Jiang Yu smiled, "If he makes it clear, can I just say that I recognize him as my brother? After all, he is an official."

Zheng Xiu: "..."

"is it not OK?"

"can!"

Zheng Xiu nodded her head so hard that she almost dropped it off. "That's great."

After Jiang Yu disappeared, Zheng Xiu chuckled at the few photos of herself she had: Captain Qin, Captain Qin, I feel sorry for you!

……

"Sister, you haven't been back for ten days, so you brought noodles back for me and grandpa?"

Jiang Jin was eagerly waiting. If her sister said ten days, it would be ten days. Even if there was any emergency, she would definitely come back and let her know.

"and this."

In Jiang Yu's other hand was a plastic bucket filled with oil, flour, salt, onions, ginger and garlic.

"I brought back oil, flour and seasonings. You pinch the small fish, marinate it, mix it with flour and fry it. That's the fried fish I brought you before."

"May I?"

Jiang Jin asked his grandfather, fried food is too fragrant and too ostentatious.

"can."

Grandpa Jiang nodded and took the bucket from his granddaughter. "This bucket has no seams. It seems very light."

"Grandpa, do you want it? I'll buy it for you."

Jiang Yu smiled with her eyes curved, grandpa has changed a lot!

Grandpa Jiang was just looking at it curiously, "This item is not suitable to be here, don't take it."

After entering the main room, Jiang Yu took off the backpack behind him and took out four small gold bars.

"This is four taels and five."

She pointed to three 50-gram ones and said, “This one is one tael three qian three, and this small one is five qian three.

Grandpa, please hide it. I will buy it with silver next time. Gold is not worth it."

It could obviously be turned into 240 taels of silver, but now it is only 45 taels of silver, which is a big loss.

If she didn't want to confuse Qin, she would have definitely exchanged it for silver and brought it back.

"I got another 5,000 yuan yesterday. Next month I'll ask Sister Xiu to take me to the bank to exchange for silver bars."

If Sister Xiu hadn't told her that, she would definitely have gone to the gold shop to buy the silver bracelet. Isn't it more ostentatious to buy silver bars from the bank than to buy jewelry from the gold shop?

It would be more convenient to ask Qin to help, but if it went through Qin's hands, it would be suspicious that too much money was exchanged. Jiang Yu told his grandfather about the 18,000 yuan in tips he had earned in the past ten days.

Grandpa Jiang almost choked on his noodles when he heard this.

In ten days, I earned 18 guan, or 18 taels of silver. If my granddaughter hadn't lost her temper and refused to give me some, I would have earned more.

"Xiao Yu, four ounces and five cents of gold is already a lot. If you exchange a large amount of it for silver bars, it will be too conspicuous and it will not be convenient to hide it."

Jiang Yu knew that according to the labor cost here, she would make a lot of money if it was converted into gold, but she was not willing to give up!
I coaxed grandpa first and then said, "Okay! I will change it into gold bars when the time comes."

After Grandpa and his brother had finished their meal, Jiang Yu took out the photo again and said, "Grandpa, look, this is Sister Xiu."

Grandpa Jiang held the photo up and looked at it from a distance. "He looks like a very smart person."

"Physiognomy is not accurate."

Jiang Yu handed over Qin Yue's photo again, "This is the officer in office. I figured it out. He is a centurion commander of the same rank as Bishchang."

Grandpa Jiang looked at the cold man in the photo. He looked pretty good, but his expression was as if someone owed him money. "Why is his hair so short?"

"Over there, people no longer believe in 'your body and hair are given by your parents'."

"Then, aren't the people over there unfilial?"

"I don't know that."

Jiang Yu had never seen other people’s family interactions. Sister Xiu’s son was still young and she only stayed for one night.

She could only explain to her grandfather how short hair was convenient on the battlefield, in life and training, and easy to treat after injury. This was the answer she got when she asked Qin.

Grandpa Jiang was displeased, but he was relieved after hearing the third point. Short hair was just the general trend of the world over there. He couldn't change anything. He couldn't even change the fate of his own family.
"You should be careful over there and don't cause any trouble. We are all civilians, so we just need to live peacefully."

Jiang Yu nodded in agreement. She couldn't cause trouble for Sister Xiu as she was also a commoner.

If you have any trouble, find Qin.

"Xiao Jin."

Jiang Yu took out the last thing in her backpack and said, "Take a look at these books. Do you like them? If not, I'll take them back."

Jiang Jin was immediately attracted by the colorful books, "I like it, I like it."

He picked up a book and started flipping through it. He didn't recognize the words on the book, but that didn't stop him from looking at the pictures.

Jiang Yu taught him the pinyin on the pinyin cards. Jiang Jin studied very seriously without any reluctance.

Grandpa Jiang stroked his beard with satisfaction. His grandson was playful, so it was good for him to learn some knowledge about other worlds.

Jiang Yu was so sleepy that he kept yawning, "Xiao Jin, just learn these first, and when you know more words, I'll buy you a storybook.

There are many, many stories there, some of which are familiar to children of a few years old.”

Jiang Jin: "..."

Does my sister treat me like a child? Or am I not as good as a child?
……

Jiang Yu brought back a basket of shepherd's purse and half a bucket of small fish, which made Zheng Xiu very happy. The shepherd's purse was well sorted and just needed to be washed.

"Wash them quickly and put them in the drain basket to drain the water. Let's go buy some minced meat and vermicelli. It will taste better if you add some shredded vermicelli to the shepherd's purse stuffing."

When she went back to her parents' home, she found that the shepherd's purse had become old before she had a chance to eat it. She had never expected that shepherd's purse in ancient times was still so tender.

"Are there any more? If you do, bring some more, blanch it, squeeze it dry, freeze it, and eat it whenever you want.

Other edible wild vegetables are also fine. I will eat them all. In spring, I love eating wild vegetables the most.”

Jiang Yu looked at Zheng Xiu's dark circles and nodded repeatedly, "I told Grandpa, otherwise where did this shepherd's purse come from?"

"Tell your brother to collect it with sugar."

Zheng Xiu was embarrassed to ask the old man to dig wild vegetables for her.

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Grandpa said he has nothing to do, so he should go up the mountain for a walk. Don't worry, Grandpa won't let himself get too tired, he still wants to enjoy himself!"

Grandpa took the opportunity to go up the mountain to take care of the potatoes and peppers. My younger brother didn't know about this and always argued with him.

Zheng Xiu was relieved, took the key and took Jiang Yu out, "Let's buy more meat. We can't eat it at noon, so we can make it as a midnight snack.

Bring some back to your grandfather and brother so they can have more motivation to dig wild vegetables, hehe."
