Chapter 19 Helping Her

Zhang Xiuhong was flattered so much that her chin almost stuck up to the sky.

"That's... Don't worry, everyone. I will do my best to eradicate this cancer and prevent it from harming the reputation of our family compound."

"That's why people say our sister Xiuhong is kind-hearted." Yang Qiuxia kept praising her, making Zhang Xiuhong feel flattered.

Then, she stirred up everyone's emotions in various ways: "In my opinion, this matter should be reported directly to the political commissar, and let Gu Chengfeng give us an explanation."

Zhang Xiuhong also thought it made sense and was the first to speak out: "Yes, we should go directly to the military district to seek an explanation."

Several military wives, led by Zhang Xiuhong, shouted indignantly and wanted to go to the leaders to complain.

At this time, Yang Qiuxia backed off, saying that the soup was still cooking on the stove at home and she really couldn't leave, so she had to go back to take care of the fire.

How could Shen Sisi not hear such a loud noise?

The key in her hand shook, and she couldn't insert it into the keyhole several times.

I thought that if I was patient and gave in, these people would go away in frustration.

Unexpectedly, they became even more outrageous. Did they really think that she, Shen Sisi, was a vegetarian?

She turned around angrily and was about to take action when she saw a young military wife with a heroic face and a red headband standing up.

"Sister Qiuxia, there's no smoke coming out of your kitchen, where did you make the soup?"

Yang Qiuxia glared at her fiercely: "Li Wenhui, it's you again! Why do you care where my family makes soup? Why do you always pick on me?"

Li Wenhui ignored her and pointed towards a small courtyard nearby. "Am I wrong? Look everyone, there's no heat coming out of her chimney. Isn't she looking for an excuse to run away?"

After she pointed this out, everyone looked at Yang Qiuxia with a hint of inquiry.

Especially Zhang Xiuhong, she finally realized: "Qiuxia, you are not deliberately provoking me, otherwise why don't you go!"

"That's not true. Don't listen to Li Wenhui's instigation..." Yang Qiuxia was busy explaining and had no time to think about anything else.

This team, which was united in facing the outside world, started fighting among themselves before they even set out.

Seeing this, Shen Sisi cast a grateful look at Li Wenhui from a distance.

Thank you to this stranger for helping her out.

Li Wenhui also smiled at her and then went to watch the fun.

Shen Sisi was not in the mood to watch the fight, so she quickly opened the gate and locked it tightly.

This was her first day in the staff housing complex. She had originally planned to make some of her signature snacks and give them to the neighbors, but now, she has become notorious again.

However, Li Wenhui was quite interesting. She could tell at a glance that Yang Qiuxia was lying and running away, and she cleverly exposed her.

It seems that Li Wenhui and Yang Qiuxia had been at odds with each other for a long time, otherwise why would she always "bite" Yang Qiuxia?

It was true that they were targeting Yang Qiuxia, and helping her was just a side effect.

However, since she has accepted a favor from someone, she has to repay it!

Shen Sisi calmed down her miserable mood and fed Niu Niu the medicine first.

Then I rewarded her with a piece of candy and let her play in the house for a while.

Niu Niu nodded obediently.

When she was in the countryside, whenever her mother went out to work, she would stay at home alone and would never run around.

Mom is very busy and tired, she can't hold her mother back.

Niuniu acted like a little adult and said to Shen Sisi in a mature tone, "Mom, go and cook. I can take care of myself..."

Shen Sisi couldn't help wanting to laugh, and rubbed her little head with her soft palm: "This child..."

Niu Niu laughed and ran to the living room happily, even remembering to close the door.

Seeing this, Shen Sisi walked into the kitchen with confidence. As soon as she walked in, she was stunned for a moment.

The kitchen, which was empty in the morning, now looks completely different.

The rice jar and flour jar were filled with fine grains and white flour.

The winnowing baskets on the ground were filled with all kinds of vegetables, including seasonal radishes, cabbages, potatoes, corn, as well as tomatoes, eggplants and beans that are rare in winter.

There were more than twenty eggs in the big bowl on the table, and a piece of plum meat with fat and lean meat next to it.

“This is…” Shen Sisi suspected she was dreaming and gently pinched her thigh.

It hurts, this is not a dream!

She put down the basket and saw a note on the cupboard. The handwriting was strong and powerful, and the strokes were free and easy. It was left by Gu Chengfeng.

【I don't know what you like, so I just bought some! 】

Shen Sisi looked at the note again and again, put it away carefully, and her heart was filled with warm sunshine.

These things are not something you can buy casually.

I thought Gu Chengfeng was going out on a mission early in the morning, but I didn't expect that he was going to prepare rations for them.

As a result, when she came back, she went to the black market again, a perfect miss!

She smiled helplessly, washed her hands, sorted the ingredients in the basket, and then began to cut the fish skillfully.

Today I bought mandarin fish, and Shen Sisi planned to make a milky white mandarin fish soup to nourish Niu Niu.

Prepare the fish, make a few cuts on the fish, and marinate it with green onion, ginger, cooking wine and salt for a while.

Heat the oil and fry until both sides are golden brown, then add water and simmer on low heat until a milky white soup comes out.

After all the gelatin on the fish has melted into the soup, Shen Sisi puts in the cut white tofu, sprinkles on a few wolfberries and chopped green onions, and the fragrant and tender fish soup is ready.

While waiting for the delicious food, she was not idle. She mixed some white flour and steamed a dozen small white flour buns. When the fish soup was ready, the small buns were just out of the pot.

Niu Niu from next door smelled the fragrance and ran over to hug her mother's thighs.

"Mom, Niuniu is hungry and wants to eat..."

Shen Sisi brought the fish soup to the table, first poured her a bowl of thick white soup, and picked up a few pieces of tofu: "Here it comes, be careful, it's hot..."

Niu Niu held the steamed bun in one hand and scooped up the soup with the other hand impatiently, blowing on it to her mouth.

She quietly tried it and found that it was no longer hot, so she swallowed it in one gulp.

"It's delicious... Niuniu loves fish soup the most..."

Shen Sisi also sat down and picked up a small piece of fish.

The fish in Jiangcheng are indeed fresher.

The mother and daughter had a simple lunch and their stomachs were full.

After coaxing Niu Niu to sleep, Shen Sisi cleaned up the dishes, then got up, found the glutinous rice flour and sugar jar, made some sugar-coated cakes, and sent them to Li Wenhui.

Li Wenhui's home is not far from hers, just in a row of bungalows not far in front.

Her husband is the company commander of the recruit company. He is busy training new recruits all day and is hardly ever at home.

Soon, Shen Sisi knocked on Li Wenhui's door.

A cheerful and friendly voice rang out from inside: "The door is not locked..."

She gently opened the door and stood at the door holding a plate.

Li Wenhui was ironing clothes. When she saw that it was Shen Sisi, she looked a little surprised.

"It's you..."

Shen Sisi did not rush into other people's homes. She just replied with a smile: "Sister Li, this is the sugar-coated cake I made. It's still hot. Please try it..."

Li Wenhui looked at the golden and steaming sugar-coated rice cakes and could smell their fragrance from a distance.

So she put down the red-hot iron and said, "Thank you. Would you like to come in and sit down?"
