Chapter 50 The Fifth Miss of the Ai Family

"My mother did it before," she said calmly, looking down.

She was telling the truth. In order to open a breakfast shop, her parents had to learn how to make various other pasta dishes besides steamed buns.

Her mother does know how to make tofu noodles, but after the family had a cook, she rarely cooked herself.

So what Shi Xiaoai said was also true, it was just that time and space were mixed up.

Cheng Yang naturally didn't know what Shi Xiaoai was thinking, but he actually knew something about her family background.

They didn't know much about each other's family situation before they got married, and for their own reasons, they didn't mention it much after marriage.

He told Xiao Ai about his relationship with his father and his father's remarriage after he received the enlistment notice.

But Xiao Ai's background was only seen from his own file when he was injured and hospitalized and wanted to find talent through the army.

Cheng Yang knew that the army would conduct another political review of him when he was promoted, but he didn't expect the review to be so thorough, even his wife's family situation was clearly written down.

Because Xiao Ai's parents left the Shi family early, and her father died when she was very young, she grew up dependent on her mother, so the political review was mainly based on her mother's side.

Cheng Yang knew that Xiao Ai's mother came from a large capitalist family, but before liberation, almost all of them had immigrated overseas.

Her mother was originally the fifth and most favored daughter of the Ai family. She decided to stay in the country and not leave with her family because she married her father.

So, when he heard Xiao Ai say that her mother had made this noodles at home, he did not doubt it.

A young lady from a wealthy family, even if she lives a hard life later on, must have seen the world in her early years, and it is normal for her to know some skills that ordinary people do not have.

Just like Xiao Ai can make stone steamed buns and baked steamed buns with vegetables, which are not very common in Yuncheng, these should be inherited from her mother's side.

Shi Xiaoai didn't know that her casual remark had caused Cheng Yang to imagine so much, and she didn't know that he had actually cleared all the bugs he had exposed.

After dinner, the two went to a nearby souvenir shop.

The griddle we're using now is from Aunt Liu, so we have to buy another one. Furthermore, with today's customer flow, we won't have enough teacups or enamel pots, so we'll need to buy more of those, too.

Before the two came, they took out all the industrial coupons from home and brought them with them, but even so, they were almost not enough.

Fortunately, the people in the souvenir shop still had some impression of Shi Xiaoai and remembered that she had come to buy teacups before, so they specially found two enamel pots with chipped porcelain for her and charged her one less industrial coupon, which allowed them to leave satisfied.

He bought a lot of things at the souvenir shop, and Cheng Yang also bought a lot of vegetables for tomorrow at the vegetable shop next to the shop.

In theory, the best way is to send these things home first before going out.

But when the two of them came out, it was a little late, and they also took some time to eat. It was already past four in the afternoon.

In order not to arrive at the other person's house too late, as it was dinner time, the two decided to go directly there.

They turned into the grocery store, and luckily there was fresh egg cakes there today.

They bought two kilograms of fruit, two servings of peach cakes, and two servings of honey for three kilograms, making a total of four items. Seeing that there was fruit juice, Cheng Yang suggested buying two bottles, but Shi Xiaoai refused.

People nowadays eat less, so when they see this fragrant and sweet drink, they think it's a good thing. But she knows very well that it's just a mixture of flavoring, coloring, and saccharin. No matter how expensive it is, it's not a good thing.

Moreover, Li Qiaoyun is still pregnant, and she can't guarantee whether this thing will have any harm to pregnant women or newborn children, so she must not buy it carelessly.

Shi Xiaoai chose the most common canned fruits and bought four bottles, two of orange and two of apple. Although they were not fresh and the prices were not cheap, they were at least safe.

After dividing the things they bought into two parts, the two hurried to the catering company's staff quarters.

Because they walked quickly on the way, it was just a little after five o'clock when they arrived. People who were getting off work had not yet returned home, and there were not many people in the yard.

The couple rode their bikes directly to Li Qiaoyun's house.

Seeing them, Li Qiaoyun was extremely surprised and happy at the same time.

She couldn't even wait for her mother to bring her in. She hurried out of the bedroom while staying at home to take care of her pregnancy and grabbed Shi Xiaoai's hand: "Xiaoai, why did you come here? Is it cold outside? Why did you come? Why are your hands so cold?"

Seeing that Li Qiaoyun's belly had grown more than two times and that she was about to give birth, Shi Xiaoai dared not let her run around anymore. She quickly pulled her to sit on the sofa at home.

Then he explained: "Something happened at home recently, otherwise I would have come to see you a long time ago."

Who knew that as soon as she said this, Li Qiaoyun understood and said, "Is it about Shi Daxi's grandmother going to your house to cause trouble? I already know about it. It's spread all over the company. Oh, I'm just not feeling well right now, and my mother is very strict with me. Otherwise, I would have come to see you a long time ago!"

While she was speaking, Li's mother came out of the kitchen with two glasses of water.

Seeing this, Cheng Yang quickly stood up and reached out to take it.

While being polite to Cheng Yang and asking him to sit down and talk, Li's mother didn't forget to scold her daughter: "How dare you say that? You dare to ride your bike to work with such a big belly? If you hadn't fallen, Guo An would have sent you back!"

The old man was obviously very upset about this matter, and he was still very angry when he talked about it now: "Guo An is also a brainless person. Whatever you say is the truth. He has no idea at all! If you want to ride, I will let you ride? Let's see what you will do if something goes wrong!"

Li Qiaoyun felt somewhat embarrassed at being scolded. She interrupted her mother and said to Cheng Yang, "Xiao Ai, this is your Cheng Yang, right? I've only heard of him before but never met him in person! You have really good taste; he's so handsome! No wonder you gave birth to such beautiful children like Mingrui and Mingxi."

It was the early 1980s, and people's minds were not so open yet. Few people would comment on the handsomeness of the opposite sex in person, even if they were acquaintances.

Hearing her daughter being so brainless and saying such nonsense, Li's mother glared at her.

But Shi Xiaoai didn't care. To her, these were just ordinary greetings and nothing big.

She immediately said, "Oh, your Guo An is also handsome. Your child will definitely be good-looking too. It will definitely be a beautiful baby."

Guo An and Li Qiaoyun are childhood sweethearts. They were in the same class in elementary school and middle school, and naturally they were also classmates with Shi Xiaoai.

The couple had visited my home together before, and I talked to Shi Xiaoai for a long time about their middle school days, so they were quite familiar with each other.

So, she spoke very fluently at this moment, but she did not notice that the corners of the man's mouth next to her, which were originally slightly upturned, had now frozen in place, and his whole face was a little dark.

Shi Xiaoai didn't notice Cheng Yang's jealousy, but Li Qiaoyun saw it clearly.

She burst out laughing, but it was not appropriate to continue on this topic.

She held onto Shi Xiao Ai's arm and asked, "How is Mingxi doing now? I heard he's in the hospital? Oh, I've always wanted to go see him, but now that I'm in this state, my family won't let me go out..."

"Is the child okay? Why did I hear it was quite serious? People from the Military Support Office and the police station came to the company twice in succession, scaring everyone there!"
