Chapter 13: Eating Tofu Pudding at the Execution Ground]
"You, you guys...wuwu~"
The little white lotus and green tea girl were defeated and speechless. She turned her face to the side and cried. Zhao Jian hurried to comfort her.
The ordinary man Qian Zhijun stepped forward and scolded: "Wang Xinxin, how did you become like this? Can you be more ladylike? And don't talk about breaking off the engagement all the time. I'm tired of hearing you say it. Don't be like this today in the future. I don't like it. Apologize to Rourou quickly."
"Apologize to your mother. If you say you want to break off the engagement, then break off the engagement. Get out."
Wang Xinxin stepped on his foot hard, pulled Qin Yian through the crowd of people who were eating onlookers and walked out, leaving the place of right and wrong.
Qin Yian raised one hand and waved at his parents who were waiting outside: "Mom and Dad, you go back to the guesthouse first. I have to go back to the courtyard to take care of some things. You don't have to wait for me all day."
"Wait." Xia Xiulan ran over, took out five large reunion bills and a stack of bills from her pocket and stuffed them into Qin Yian's hands, saying in a very generous manner: "Spend as much as you want. If you don't have enough, mom has more here. Just ask mom for it. Take your time. There's no rush. We have plenty of time."
After that, without waiting for Qin Yian to refuse, she took her wife and left, smiling at her wife beside her: "This child has made quite good friends. He is a good child."
"Well, it's really good." Qin Jiaguo nodded with a smile: "Xiu Lan, let's go to the department store. I have to buy a watch for my daughter so that she can tell the time."
"Okay, let's pick a nice watch for my daughter." Xia Xiu Lan walked towards the county department store with great interest: "If others have it, my daughter must have it."
Wang Xinxin took Qin Yi'an's wrist, looked at the backs of the two people in front of her, and was happy for her friend from the bottom of her heart.
"Yi'an, your biological parents seem to treat you well. You finally don't have to suffer and be bullied anymore. I'm happy for you."
"Well, I'm going back to that small courtyard. Where are you going?" Qin Yi'an put the bills in his pocket and put them in the space, which made her heartbroken.
"I'll go back too."
Wang Xinxin lowered her head and looked at the tofu pudding in her hand. Her mood suddenly dropped. She reached out and touched her hair: "Yian, do you think I look unfeminine?"
Qin Yian straightened Wang Xinxin, looked at her and said sincerely:
"You are very good. Short hair looks neat and tidy. You are a kind person. The tofu pudding is even more fragrant. Don't listen to those idiots who have no cerebellum. You are so scared after watching an execution and vomit when you see tofu pudding. This proves that you have poor psychological quality and physical condition. Such men are not to be had. They may have kidney deficiency."
"Qian Zhijun and others are just jealous of you because they are not good enough. They deliberately belittle you to show their superiority. He is just ordinary and confident. He is not worthy of you. You are the best."
"Really?" Wang Xinxin had long heard those people say that she was rude, that she acted like a man and not like a girl, and that she had lost her confidence.
"Really, being yourself is the most important thing. Look how much I owe you for helping me shut those people up that day, and today, many gay men were so scared that they vomited and turned pale, but you were still full of energy, which shows that you are not only smart, but also in good physical condition and strong in heart. Look how powerful you are." Qin Yian pointed to a gay man who had not yet recovered from his shock and said sorry in his heart.
The gay man with a pale face: Are you polite?
"Yeah, you're right." Wang Xinxin listened attentively and nodded frantically: "What I said today were not said in anger. After listening to what you said, I am more determined. This child marriage must be cancelled immediately."
Wang Xinxin glanced at the listless male comrade. She was confident in the contrast and took Qin Yian's words to heart. She was in a much better mood and took a lunch box from her net bag and handed it over: "Yian, do you want to eat tofu pudding? I made it myself."
"Yes, I've been craving for it for a long time. It smells so good." Qin Yian happily took the tofu pudding, sat down next to her, opened it without hesitation, and ate it with a spoon in big mouthfuls: "It's delicious. The tofu pudding is very tender, the chili oil is very fragrant and spicy enough, and the cooking skills are good."
Wang Xinxin saw that she really liked to eat it, and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. She also sat down and opened another box to eat.
"If you like it, I'll bring you more when I go back. I made a lot this morning and we still have a lot at home. I'll pack a few bottles of chili for you to take to Beijing to eat. When you're done, you can tell me and I'll send it to you. This is my family's ancestral craft. My grandfather relied on this craft to enable our family to move from the village to the county town and gain a foothold in the city. This is why I have the happy life I have now. Seeing that you like it, I think I have not dishonored my family's craft."
Qin Yian nodded hurriedly, her mouth busy eating tofu pudding. She was not bragging, she had eaten it thousands of times before, and this was the most delicious tofu pudding she had ever eaten. Wang Xinxin's craftsmanship was amazing, and Qian Zhijun was too ungrateful.
The male comrade who was sitting not far away to relax saw the red and white tofu pudding in their hands. His stomach acid, which was about to calm down, surged up again and vomited. He complained to his companion in a low voice: "Do you think those two female comrades are tigers? Eating tofu pudding on the execution ground is too tough. I can't stand it. Ugh~"
His companion patted him on the back: "Don't talk anymore. Vomit your own food. You can't do it yourself, but you still say that other female comrades are tigers. Besides, it's good to be tough. It's better than being bullied."
"Pat gently, or I'll vomit on your feet later." The male comrade buried his head and vomited.
On the other side, Qin Yian and her sister happily finished the tofu pudding in their hands. The two packed up their lunch boxes and walked home hand in hand.
When they returned to the door of the house, the two separated. Wang Xinxin went home to discuss the cancellation of the engagement with her parents.
Qin Yian went into the yard to search... ah, no, deal with business.
