Chapter 141 Steamed Buns
Listening to the discussions of the people behind her, Zhao Yue felt her face burning, and the shame overwhelmed her like a tide.
She ran faster, her steps were messy and hurried, as if she could escape from this embarrassing situation.
His heart was filled with anger and resentment, and his hatred for Shi Qingqian reached its peak.
……
"Qianqian, was that person a bad person just now? Will she retaliate against you after you treated her like that?"
Although A Miao had been in the house, she saw everything that happened just now.
Shi Qingqian raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile: "Ah Miao, don't worry, if she dares to come, I will let her know what it means to ask for trouble."
Ah Miao looked at Shi Qingqian worriedly: "But, she is the granddaughter of the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief seems to be a very important official among you humans. What if she complains to that commander-in-chief?"
"Don't worry, it's just a backstage competition, I won't necessarily lose," Shi Qingqian said with her head held high.
Wasn’t the original owner’s grandfather also a big shot in Beijing? Although I don’t know what his specific position is, judging from the respectful attitude of Commander Liang and Political Commissar Wen last time, he should be quite important.
Just then, there was a sudden burst of noisy footsteps outside the yard.
Shi Qingqian and A Miao looked at each other, and a trace of vigilance arose in their hearts. Could it be that Zhao Yue brought people back so soon?
Shi Qingqian walked out of the yard and saw Mrs. Zheng, followed by a few aunts who were watching the fun.
"Sister Qingqian, what happened just now? We saw Comrade Zhao running over, covered in dirt."
Shi Qingqian smiled slightly and said calmly, "Aunties, it's nothing serious. Comrade Zhao just came to talk to me about something, and I don't know how she fell into the fertilizer bucket. When I went back to the house to get her a towel, she disappeared. Have you seen her?"
"Oh, no wonder it stinks, it really smells like fertilizer."
"Comrade Zhao is so careless! He doesn't even look at his feet when he walks, and he's made the whole road stink."
Several aunts shook their heads, their words full of complaints towards Zhao Yue.
"Alright, alright, stop gathering here. Go home and get your things. Let's go clean up the road."
As soon as Mrs. Zheng said this, although the others were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to do as she said.
"Yes, clean up this road quickly, otherwise the smell will be too bad."
"Let's go home and get our tools."
Shi Qingqian joined the cleaning team with a broom and a bucket.
Sister Zheng: "Sister Qingqian, why are you here too? Let us handle this."
Shi Qingqian smiled and responded: "Everyone is helping, I can't just sit there idle. Besides, this happened because of me, so I should do my part."
"Now she pretends to be very diligent. She doesn't even cook at home. She just eats in the cafeteria every day. Anyone who marries a daughter-in-law like this will be very unlucky," Aunt Tan said sarcastically.
Her voice was low, but loud enough for everyone around her to hear.
Others have more or less the same idea in their minds.
It was just that the last time Aunt Tan and Wu Jiaojiao spread rumors about Shi Qingqian, they were pulled on stage to review themselves. They didn’t dare to say anything in front of Shi Qingqian again. If they were brought on stage again, they would lose face.
"This Aunt Tan, even after learning a lesson, still can't control her mouth."
Mrs. Zheng said, "Qingqian, don't bother with her. I'll have my husband, Lao Liang, talk to Captain Tan again and ask him to take good care of his mother."
Shi Qingqian smiled slightly and said, "Sister Zheng, there's no need to bother the master. Let Aunt Tan say whatever she wants. As long as it's not too excessive, I won't take it to heart. Besides, I really can't cook, and she's not making that up."
"Your hands are not meant for housework."
Mrs. Zheng had heard from her husband that Shi Qingqian could speak foreign languages and was a very talented person.
If her son could marry such a powerful wife in the future, she would worship her as a idol.
Not to mention that she doesn't know how to do housework, even if she doesn't know how to dress herself, she, as the mother-in-law, can take care of her by herself.
"Come to think of it, sister, how did you learn foreign languages? Can you really make money just by writing?"
"If I have a granddaughter in the future, I will also let her learn foreign languages well, so that she can support herself by sitting at home like you."
Shi Qingqian smiled and explained, "Sister-in-law, learning a foreign language is not difficult, but it still takes hard work to learn it well."
"As for making money as a translator, it's not that easy. You need to have certain abilities. But if you're determined, it's also a good idea to train your children to learn foreign languages."
Sister Zheng nodded, her eyes full of longing: "Sister Qingqian, you are right. I must train my future granddaughter well in the future. Your ability is really enviable."
……
As the afternoon approached, the sun became increasingly scorching. Fortunately, everyone worked together to quickly clear the road, and the odor in the air gradually dissipated.
"Sister Qingqian, let's go to my sister-in-law's house for lunch. We'll have steamed buns for lunch today," Sister Zheng said enthusiastically, holding Shi Qingqian's hand.
Shi Qingqian quickly waved her hands and said, "Sister Zheng, this is embarrassing. I'd better go home and eat something."
Mrs. Zheng pretended to be angry and said, "What's the big deal? You're home alone anyway. My husband won't be home at noon. I made a lot of dough today and I can't finish it all by myself. Let's have some company and have some fun. Let's go."
Having said that, Mrs. Zheng pulled Shi Qingqian towards her home without saying anything.
Shi Qingqian was moved by Mrs. Zheng's enthusiasm and had no choice but to follow her home.
After a while, the two arrived at Mrs. Zheng's house.
In the kitchen, the steamer has been placed, and the plump white buns emit an enticing aroma.
"Sister Qingqian is here," Sister Yang came over with a smile and said, "Have a seat, Sister Zheng has been busy preparing these buns since early this morning."
Shi Qingqian said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry to bother you."
Sister Zheng waved her hand: "It's not a bother, it's not a bother. Come, Sister Qingqian, sit down and rest for a while."
Mrs. Zheng took the buns out of the steamer, put them on a plate and brought them to the table.
The buns were white and plump, with even folds, and looked very tempting.
"Sister Qingqian, try these buns. There are ones with meat filling and ones with vegetarian filling. Feel free to order whatever you like," Mrs. Zheng greeted warmly.
Shi Qingqian picked up a meat-filled bun and took a bite. The bun's skin was soft and the filling was delicious and juicy.
"Sister Zheng, these buns are really delicious."
Mrs. Zheng laughed and said, "If it tastes good, eat more. Mrs. Yang's skill in mixing bun fillings is unique in our compound. It's so delicious."
After hearing Sister Zheng's praise, Sister Yang smiled and said, "I'm glad Sister Qingqian likes it. If you want to eat buns in the future, you can come to our place anytime."
The three of them sat around the table, eating buns and chatting. Mrs. Zheng talked about some interesting things in the compound, and Mrs. Yang also interjected a few words from time to time. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
