Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 155: Different Toward Him

Jiang Xingye knew the buns used different flour just by the smell. With one bite, a particularly unusual sweet flavor filled his mouth. He was starving, yet one bun was already half full.

A warm energy coursed through his body, and the fatigue from working all morning was completely gone.

The tomatoes were alright; you could tell they were grown in his yard. But the eggs were different; they seemed like eggs but weren’t quite eggs.

Xu Qinghuan sat next to him and whispered, "If you can’t finish the buns, give one to the team leader and Guizhi Aunt."

"What did you send the Educated Youths?" Jiang Xingye asked calmly.

Xu Qinghuan replied, "They got mixed flour buns and stir-fried greens."

She pointed to the food in Jiang Xingye’s hand, "This is just for you." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Gentleness almost overflowed from Jiang Xingye’s eyes as he softly answered, "I will finish the buns."

Even if he couldn’t finish them, he would eat them all and not share with anyone—not even important family.

Xu Qinghuan understood he sensed the buns were unusual and wanted to avoid suspicion, and she felt a comforting warmth, "Then you eat them all yourself."

On the other side, Zhou Guizhi whispered harshly to He Yuzhen, "Why share them? These meals were made by Xu Qinghuan, why share them? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. Stop dreaming! Even if I had some, I wouldn’t give you a taste."

Since she wouldn’t get a taste, what was there for He Yuzhen to fight for!

She ate her cornmeal buns in frustration, choking so that her neck stretched long, constantly thinking of Jiang Xingye’s white flour buns, with the aroma wafting over, refreshing and causing her to drool endlessly.

"I’ll share the soup with them." Jiang Xingye said.

The soup was unusual too but more ordinary than the buns.

The water for the soup had space’s spirit water added, though not much, its effect was limited.

Xu Qinghuan also considered that the buns used spirit flour and spirit water, worried about over-nourishing, so only a small amount of spirit water was added to the soup.

"Okay." Xu Qinghuan nodded obediently.

Jiang Xingye saw her like this, cherished her greatly. Unfortunately, there were many people nearby, and he was dirty, otherwise, he would have wanted to hold her close.

A full lunch box of soup, Jiang Xingye drank a third, and shared the rest with Jiang Baohua, Zhou Guizhi, and his four brothers, enough to replenish their energy.

"Keep it for yourself to drink. Why give it to us?" Zhou Guizhi said.

"There’s plenty of soup; I’ve had enough."

He originally kept a bun for Xu Qinghuan, but she had eaten enough. Jiang Xingye ate four buns in one go. If they were normal buns, he could manage, but these ones left him feeling quite full after eating.

"Hmm, this soup is delicious!" Jiang Xingyong took a sip, delighted. Tasting it for a long time, he took another sip, savoring three or four more, and drank for quite a while.

Afterwards, his strength rapidly returned. They thought there was fat in the soup, and didn’t pay it much attention.

He Yuzhen looked at the golden egg flowers, the fragrant soup, and a few people’s lingering expressions, both envious and angry, saying to Jiang Xingyong, "Child’s father, let me taste it too."

Jiang Xingyong downed it in one gulp, expressionlessly said, "Gone."

The two leaned against a large tree. Though it was noon, a cool breeze occasionally swept through the mountain hollow, making one drowsy.

Xu Qinghuan’s shoulder was against Jiang Xingye’s, his warm body made her cheeks flush.

"This afternoon, do you want me to bring you mung bean soup?" Xu Qinghuan asked.

Jiang Xingye glanced quickly to see no one was watching, squeezed her hand softly then released it, leaving a smooth residue on his rough palm, "No need, it’s too hot. You rest at home, I’ll be back early."

"Alright!"

Xu Qinghuan got up, and the people around either sat or lay down, all with their eyes closed, taking the chance to nap for a moment.

Jiang Xingye hurried to stand up too, "I’ll walk you back."

"No need, you rest too, I’ll go back myself."

"I’m not tired!" After eating and drinking, Jiang Xingye was energized, not feeling the slightest fatigue, instead, he was full of vigor.

Over there, Tian Jinhua hadn’t gone back. She was harvesting wheat, and would go back to cook dinner later. Before that, she had work to do in the fields.

The two walked one after the other on the field paths. When entering the village, it was quiet. Passing the Educated Youth area, they saw Lu Nianying had returned.

She saw Xu Qinghuan too, glanced at Jiang Xingye surprisingly, "Qinghuan, Mom’s leaving today. You’re not going to see her off?"

Xu Qinghuan anticipated Song Wanlin would leave, the toxin from the silkworm was highly aggressive to the skin. She had previously extracted Withering and Flourishing Essence from it, add another component, and it can be made into Beauty Pill.

The Beauty Pill provides beauty, youth preservation, and everlasting youth effects.

Everything in the world complements and contradicts each other, an eternal truth.

The county hospital couldn’t solve the silkworm’s toxin; Song Wanlin was surely seeking help from big city hospitals. Xu Qinghuan looked at Lu Nianying indifferently, "Didn’t your Mom want to take you back this time?"

Lu Nianying’s eyes showed a trace of sadness. She thought about it, but reality was more brutal than ideals, "I went to the countryside to help build rural areas. I haven’t contributed yet, how could I face the country by going back now?"

Xu Qinghuan sneered, "Then hurry to the fields and get to work. Don’t delay the harvest."

Seeing her about to leave, Lu Nianying quickly said, "Qinghuan, she’s still your mother. You can’t bear seeing her age like this. I know you must have a way, right?"

Xu Qinghuan replied coldly, "Sorry, I have no way. Even though I’m a doctor, I can’t cure all diseases."

Passing by the low mud hut, Xu Qinghuan saw Ren Jingmo struggling to carry a small bucket of water toward the ox under the shade. He looked around nervously, eyes lighting up with childlike innocence upon seeing Xu Qinghuan.

"Put it down. Don’t carry it, I’ll do it." Ren Shanglu was brushing the ox’s back.

Song Yanqing was following him, whispering, "Mr. Ren, these three cases are extremely rare. You wouldn’t want to miss this opportunity, right?"

Ren Shanglu remained silent, focused on his work.

Seeing Xu Qinghuan, Song Yanqing quickly distanced from Ren Shanglu, smiled awkwardly, and greeted Xu Qinghuan, "Educated Youth Xu, which three days this month do you plan to go to the county hospital?"

Ren Shanglu’s brushing paused.

Xu Qinghuan smiled indifferently, "I’m flexible!"

She agreed to work at the county hospital not to pursue a career, but to do as she pleased if things went smoothly, not forcing anything.

"Then, if the county gets hard cases, can we notify you?" Song Yanqing asked.

"I’ll only do surgeries, don’t look for me for other cases." Xu Qinghuan saw through Song Yanqing’s thoughts, with a half-smile.

Song Yanqing wasn’t embarrassed, but urged, "You’re young, why not strive to improve? Being a doctor should expose oneself to diverse cases and gather experience. Participating in consultations for challenging cases can enhance your credentials too."

Xu Qinghuan was nonchalant, "I don’t plan to for now. I’m still an Educated Youth looking to do my best in what I can."

Those three cases were all done by her. What would consulting mean to her?
