64 Deserves to Be Treated Well

Su Binglan didn’t have to travel far since they lived in the same village. Her house was only a few steps away.

When Su Binglan got home, she didn’t see any candlelights or lit oil lamps, so she thought Luo Jin’an might have fallen asleep.

However, she seemed to have heard something. It seemed to be the sound of someone chopping firewood. She looked under the moonlight and saw Luo Jin’an chopping firewood in the yard.

Su Binglan always thought Luo Jin’an possessed a unique, elegant, and noble aura, so chopping firewood didn’t match his demeanor. Of course, it was a simple task, but Luo Jin’an made it look like a work of art. It was pleasing to the eyes.

Su Binglan thought of Luo Jin’an’s physical condition and frowned. Then she approached him and said, “You’re not well, and it’s so late. You need to rest instead of chopping firewood.”

The people of that era usually used firewood to heat their brick beds and cook because there weren’t gas canisters. Therefore, firewood was a necessity for the people of that era. They would even have to use the wood sparingly if there weren’t enough.

Fortunately, there were deep mountains and forests behind Su Teng village, so there was no shortage of firewood. People could cut a lot of firewood if they were diligent and went up the mountain.

Still, people’s physical strength and energy were limited. Sometimes, they wouldn’t have enough firewood to last an entire day.

Although this era was backward and many things were inconvenient, the people were kind and straightforward. Living in that era was like a paradise.

Luo Jin’an looked at Su Binglan and asked, “You’re back?”

Su Binglan nodded and said, “Yes, I earned more than two to five hundred yuan tonight. If this continues, our family’s conditions will improve, and we can save money to heal your body.”

Su Binglan treated Luo Jin’an as her family. She would not hide the money she earned from him. It was a form of sharing, and she liked sharing her joy with others.

Luo Jin’an looked deeply at Su Binglan and said faintly, “My body is fine.”

Su Binglan always thought Luo Jin’an’s gaze was too captivating. His gaze was like a whirlpool, sucking her in.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Nothing. Was it safe on the way home?” Luo Jin’an asked meaningfully.

Luo Jin’an’s questions were always bizarre to Su Binglan, but she didn’t overthink it. She said, “Of course it’s safe. What could happen to us? By the way, this is soy milk made from the soybeans we gathered. It’s for you to drink.”

Su Binglan handed the bowl to Luo Jin’an as she spoke. Its aroma spread through the yard.

Luo Jin’an looked down at the bowl of soybean milk and said, “You can drink it.”

Su Binglan replied smilingly, “There’s a lot of soy milk, and we’ve all tasted some, so this bowl is for you. Drink it and let me know how it tastes.”

“This is a pure natural taste. When the conditions at home are better, you can put some sugar in it if you’re willing to put sugar in it. It will taste sweeter.” Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an smilingly.

Under Su Binglan’s expectant look, Luo Jin’an took the bowl and started to drink the soy milk.

“How is it? Is It good?”

Luo Jin’an looked into Su Binglan’s eyes, nodded, and said, “Yes, it is good.”

“We’ll drink more soy milk for breakfast tomorrow morning too. By the way, why were you reluctant to drink it just now? Were you thinking of leaving some for me?”

Su Binglan felt that Luo Jin’an had an excellent character because he was kind-hearted and not selfish at all. Even if there were only a bowl of food at home, Luo Jin’an would leave it for Su Binglan to eat.

Sy Binglan thought Luo Jin’an deserved the best treatment.
