Married to a Disabled Man in the 70’s

It’s time to get off work.

The village was lively again.

Various different delicious smells were coming from the kitchen. Su Jiaojiao and Song Qinghan were having dinner.

It was too hot, so Su Jiaojiao didn’t want to make too much. So, she braised two fish. One was given to Zhao Sisi, while the other was left for the two of them to enjoy together. She made a bowl of liangpi for everyone and a portion of changfen (rice noodle roll) with an egg on top.

Song Qinghan’s friend had already sent the large metal bowl Su Jiaojiao wanted. With the bamboo steamer she bought earlier, making changfen was incredibly easy.

Su Jiaojiao didn’t eat all of it. She only ate half of her portion, trying a little of everything. Then, she gave the rest to Song Qinghan. No matter if he was working or not, his appetite was large like always.

Su Jiaojiao had already eaten a lot by her standards. After marrying Song Qinghan for only a month or so, she had gotten heavier. Her face has gotten rounder, and there was more meat on the back of her hand.

When most families had finished their dinner, the girls who had ordered food from Su Jiaojiao before came over.

Currently, there weren’t many people who would add fat and oil to their meals. Because those were missing, they weren’t full after dinner and could eat more. They were able to come here for dessert immediately after having supper without an issue.

Zhao Sisi was generous, and her family background wasn’t poor, so she often came here for a meal. Aunt Wong wasn’t a stingy person. If Zhao Sisi ate less, then her family could eat more. It was beneficial for them. Thus, she didn’t say much.

When the girls were eating, the commander brought two people with red badges on their sleeves over out of the blue. He roared, “What are you doing! Are you doing under-the-table business?!”

[I hope I got that part right orz]

Su Jiaojiao was shocked by his loud voice, and reluctantly had a coughing fit. She was eating when she heard the commander, and choked.

Song Qinghan was scared by her. He immediately patted her back (to stop choking) and said, “There, there. Are you better now?”

Armos D. Platypus/Perry Blue: I’m sorry this chappie was so short, but that’s literally all that’s left of the raw Chapter 23. Which is a good thing, because I get to make a big announcement!

So you see, there’s this thing called Patreon, and I just set up an account because I was bored. Feel free to support me there! This platypus has absolutely no recollection of the details like paying and all that, but I do recommend you get the 3 euro tier unless you’re broke.
