Chapter 301: A Lie

Zhuang Qingsui touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly.

It is inevitable that children will become more playful, especially when there is such a living creature at home, it would be difficult for them not to be distracted.

Zhuang Qingning understood and reached out to pinch Zhuang Qingsui's nose. "You'd better be more careful in the future. Since you want to be a teacher in the future, you have to work hard now so that you can realize your dreams and goals in the future."

"I understand. I will pay attention to it next time." Zhuang Qingsui stood straight and even nodded solemnly.

"That's good." Zhuang Qingning smiled and took out the handkerchief that was neatly gathered in her arms. "Here, Qiuying gave it to you. She said she embroidered it herself."

"Let me see."

Zhuang Qingsui took it impatiently, looked at it again and again, touched it again and again, and her nose turned red with excitement. "Sister Qiuying's craftsmanship is really good. The flowers are embroidered so beautifully."

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Sister Qiuying for a long time, and I miss her so much. Sister Qiuying must miss me too."

So I specially gave her a handkerchief and asked Zhuang Qingning to bring it back.

"When you have time to rest, I will take you to town so that you two sisters can have a good talk." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.

"Sister is so nice." Zhuang Qingsui jumped for joy. She rushed over and put her arms around Zhuang Qingning's neck, and even gave her a kiss on the cheek.

This kind of intimate gesture made Zhuang Qingning feel very comfortable, especially when he saw the joyful light in Zhuang Qingsui's eyes, his heart softened like a pool of spring water.

For the first time, I felt that time travel was a good thing.

[And me, and me too. Host, don’t forget me. I have always tried my best to help the host reach the pinnacle of life! ]

It was indeed a certain Five who was always showing off his presence! Zhuang Qingning was quite helpless and even wanted to roll his eyes, but he held back and praised him with narrowed eyes and a smile.

The praise made the five-year-old very happy. He expressed his sincerity and encouraged Zhuang Qingning before leaving slowly.

It was getting late, so Zhuang Qingning tidied up and prepared to cook, and asked Zhuang Qingsui what he wanted to eat in the evening.

Zhuang Qingsui slapped his forehead suddenly. "If my sister hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about the meal. Before my sister came back, Sister Zhou came to our house and said that she wanted us to go to Aunt Wen's house for dinner in the evening. She said that she had caught a big carp, and Sister Zhou was going to make sweet and sour fish in the evening."

"Since my sister wasn't here, I agreed to go first and said I would definitely go in the evening. It's getting late now, so let's pack up and go together."

The two families had a close relationship, so there was no need to refuse. Zhuang Qingning washed her hands and went out with Zhuang Qingsui, taking with her a piece of braised pork liver that Zhang Yongchang had specially given her when they were in town today.

Pork liver improves eyesight and clears the mind. Braised pork liver tastes great whether eaten cold or stir-fried, and is especially suitable for the hot summer days.

"Ning girl is here, come and sit down." Han had already set up the table in the yard and was picking up the dishes. "I told you guys to go check if you guys weren't here yet, and it just so happened that you guys came."

"You came just in time for dinner, so you don't have to wait for dinner." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile, taking out the pig liver. "I'll go to the kitchen to mix the liver and add it to the dinner. This is specially braised by Chef Zhang, and it tastes great."

Last time in the greenhouse, although Han and Zhou Daya had not been here yet, Wen had seen Zhang Yongchang's cooking skills. When she heard this, she immediately had an idea, "It must be edible. Adding more chopped green onions will also make it more flavorful."

"By the way, there are still quite a few preserved eggs left that you brought over last time. Mix them with some vegetables, and pair them with sweet and sour fish and cold cucumber salad. It will be quite tasty."

“Okay.” Zhuang Qingning agreed and asked Zhuang Qingsui to help set the table, while he went into the kitchen to make the two cold dishes.

In the kitchen, Zhou Daya was taking out the fire from the stove and putting it out. She looked up and saw Zhuang Qingning, and grinned, "Sister Ning."

"Sister Zhou." Zhuang Qingning replied with a smile, took a kitchen knife, and started cutting the pork liver slices skillfully.

Zhou Daya took the plate of sweet and sour fish away, came back to scoop up the rice porridge, and helped Zhuang Qingning mix the vegetables and serve them on the plates.

After cleaning up, the five of them sat around the table to eat.

The sweet and sour fish tastes good, with the right balance of sweet and sour. Most importantly, the fish is also very fresh.

"Sister Zhou's cooking skills are really good." Zhuang Qingning praised repeatedly.

"That's right. Her craftsmanship is much better than her grandmother's." Mrs. Wen nodded and agreed.

Han and Wen were already used to their daily bickering, so they were too lazy to pay attention to her at this moment. They simply turned their faces away and just ate the preserved eggs with relish.

Zhou Daya's cheeks turned slightly red after being praised. "It's mainly because the fish is fresh. It was still alive when it was delivered to me."

"By the way, what was the name of the person who sent the fish? He looked kind and was a man who knew how to repay a favor." Han nodded slightly, "He was thoughtful."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Brother Sifu sent it here." Zhou Daya said with a smile, "This fish is from my great aunt. Brother Sifu said that he was grateful for my great aunt's care during this period, so he sent it here specially as a gift to my great aunt."

"Speaking of which, a few days ago, Brother Sifu sent some river shrimps. I fried them at that time, but unfortunately I didn't control the heat well and they were a little mushy. It was a waste of such good river shrimps."

It was sent by Zhuang Sifu.

Zhuang Qingning blinked.

It seems that Zhuang Sifu really has a lot of affection for Zhou Daya. He tries all kinds of ways to send things over, and even claims that they are for Wen, using such a lame excuse that Wen takes good care of him.

How did Wen ever take care of him on a daily basis?

I even remember that because of some trivial matters before, Wen had cursed and said that Zhuang Sifu's family did not do things properly or something like that. Many people in the village had a deep impression of it.

The reason Zhuang Sifu found was just to deceive Han and Zhou Daya who didn't know anything about the village's past.

However, Wen should have known about this matter, and should have also known that Zhuang Sifu's real intention was not to drink, but he did not point it out, which is really rare.

Or did Mrs. Wen also think highly of Zhuang Sifu and Zhou Daya? Zhuang Qingning looked at Mrs. Wen and couldn't help but smile, but was afraid of being seen, so she just covered it with her bowl.

It's a pity that this person's joy would jump out of his eyes even if he covered his mouth. What's more, when Zhuang Qingning smiled, his eyebrows curved into a very beautiful arc that could not be concealed no matter what.

As expected, Mrs. Wen saw it clearly and glanced at Zhuang Qingning sideways, "You girl, you don't eat well, you always look at me, what are you doing, is there something wrong with my face?"
