Song Xi put on her shoes and got out of bed. Just as she was about to close the door and enter the supermarket, Zhou Yi sensed her and walked over quickly. “Wife, you’re awake? Breakfast is warm in the pot. Go eat after washing up.”

“I know, Brother Yi. Go busy yourself!” This Zhou Yi was really too smart. He could sense her every move, making Song Xi not dare to act rashly.

If she wanted to enter the supermarket, she could only enter when he was not at home.

Song Xi smiled at Zhou Yi, rubbed his eyes, and went to the kitchen. As soon as she left, she saw the male comrade who had just spoken to Zhou Yi in the courtyard. Song Xi nodded at him slightly and went to the kitchen to scoop water from the water vat to wash up.

Zhou Ping strode to Zhou Yi’s side and reached out to grab his shoulder. His tone was filled with envy. “You’re quite lucky. Sister-in-law is so good-looking. I reckon that Zhou Yun will regret it when he sees her.”

Song Xi’s fragile and pitiful appearance made anyone’s heart ache. If he did not know that she was Zhou Yi’s wife, Zhou Ping would have fallen in love at first sight.

Hearing Zhou Yun’s name, a trace of darkness flashed across Zhou Yi’s eyes. Then, he pulled Zhou Ping away. “Song Xi is my wife. What does it have to do with me if Zhou Yun regrets it? Don’t mention this name in front of Song Xi and me in the future.”

After Song Xi washed up, she spread out the towel and hung it on the basin rack. Only then did she open the lid of the pot. There was a large bowl of thick millet porridge and boiled eggs. It seemed like Zhou Yi was eating casually again and left the good food for her. Now that there was already so much food at home, why was Zhou Yi still so thrifty?

Song Xi took a small bowl of millet porridge and a boiled egg. She left the rest for Zhou Yi. After breakfast, she washed her bowl and chopsticks and returned to her room. She closed the door and locked it before flashing into the supermarket and arriving at the supplements area. Her body was weak and could not withstand any supplements, so she did not bring any for herself.

In the end, Song Xi took a 30-year-old ginseng and a 50-year-old ginseng and planned to put them in Zhou Yi’s wardrobe after he left. Even if Zhou Yi did not discover them when he came back to take his clothes and shower at night, it would not be long before he found them.

He had been helping her, so it was only right for her to help him.

This ginseng was planted by Song Xi’s best friend, Qin Tiantian. She helped sell it in the supplements section of her supermarket.

Qin Tiantian’s grandmother lived in the north and relied on planting ginseng for a living. Her family did not lack all kinds of ginseng.

As for why she let Song Xi place it there, it was naturally because she had a good relationship with Song Xi!

Song Xi smelled the fragrance of the braised food and couldn’t help but walk to the cooked food area. She couldn’t help but reach out to take a braised chicken wing tip. As soon as she picked it up, she was immediately stunned.

The chicken wing tips were still warm.

She had entered the supermarket several times, which meant that it had been a few days since she first entered the supermarket. Why was the tip of the braised chicken wing still hot? And it was as if it had just been cooked?

Song Xi was shocked and hurriedly looked up at the smart clock hanging on the wall. The time displayed was actually 8:30 AM on the second of August, 2030 (4th of July in the lunar calendar). It was actually her birthday?

In other words, she had transmigrated here on her birthday. It had been so many days, but the time in the supermarket had not changed at all. Did this mean that time in the supermarket was static and the things inside would not change, expire, or go bad?

Song Xi could not believe it. She ran over to touch the buns and steamed buns again. They were actually hot, similar to freshly baked ones. Song Xi was so surprised that she almost jumped out. This supermarket was actually a stationary space. The things would not expire or spoil. Then she could eat them slowly in the future.

Song Xi stood in front of breakfast and laughed wildly. Although she didn’t know why the supermarket came with her, she had spent money to buy all the goods there. Everything was hers, so she didn’t have to worry so much when she used it and didn’t have to feel sorry for anyone.

Next, she would use the supplies in the supermarket to recuperate with Zhou Yi. The rest could wait.

Song Xi was so excited that she lost track of time. It was only when Zhou Yi called out ‘wife’ in the courtyard that she came out of the supermarket in a panic. She quickly threw the ginseng into Zhou Yi’s wardrobe and opened the door to leave.

As soon as Zhou Yi saw Song Xi, he carried the basket over and lifted the layer of grass on it, revealing a big and fat grass carp. He looked at Song Xi as if he was asking for praise. “Wife, I’ll make fish soup for you tonight.”

“Brother Yi, you’re amazing. You caught such a big fish. It must be more than ten catties, right? But this fish is too big, right? Cut half of it and send it to our father! Otherwise, we won’t have space for it!” Song Xi came to Zhou Yi and squatted down. She looked at the big grass carp in the basket with admiration, her grape-sized eyes sparkling.

Actually, there were all kinds of fish in the aquatic area of her supermarket. They were all quietly in the tank, and she did not check. It should be very easy to catch them.

She was still thinking of going out in a few days to find an opportunity to bring one out. She did not expect Zhou Yi to catch a big fish first.

Zhou Yi enjoyed Song Xi’s admiring gaze. He leaned over and kissed Song Xi’s clear and delicate eyes that were like grapes. Song Xi’s eyes widened in shock and she subconsciously retreated. In the end, she sat on the ground. Fortunately, it was mud and did not hurt.

Zhou Yi quickly helped Song Xi up and patted the soil behind her. Song Xi’s face turned red. Wasn’t this too awkward?

Zhou Yi helped Song Xi sit down in the kitchen and went to the well to deal with the fish. He split the fish into two from the middle, leaving the upper half of the fish with the fish head and the bottom half with the fishtail for his father, Zhou Zhongguo.

Seeing this, Song Xi smiled and teased, “Brother Yi, you’re a little bad!” He could clearly split the fish into two along the fish bone so that there would be both a head and a tail, but he cut the fish at the waist and left the portion with more fish bones for his father.

Fortunately, his father was not old yet. Otherwise, he would not be at ease eating so many fish bones.

“Is that so? Is that bad in your eyes?” Zhou Yi’s lips curled up evilly. How could he not understand what Song Xi meant? She just felt that there were too many bones on the fishtail, but she did not think about who he was doing this for. “Don’t worry, this is a big fish. They’re all big bones, there are no small bones. It won’t choke someone.”

Zhou Yi stewed the fish first and stuffed a suitable amount of firewood under the stove. He was about to deliver the fish to Zhou Zhongguo when he thought of Song Xi and invited, “Wife, do you want to go out for a walk together?”

“Alright! I can train my body at the same time.” Song Xi stood up and walked towards Zhou Yi. She even reached out her hand to Zhou Yi naturally. Even she did not notice it.

Zhou Yi smiled as he held Song Xi’s outstretched hand. The corners of his lips curled up into a huge smile as the two of them went to deliver fish to Zhou Zhongguo.

Zhou Yi placed the fish in the basket and even grabbed a handful of grass to cover it. He was mainly afraid that the villagers would see it and cause trouble.
