Chapter 32 Xiao Jinchuan is a big beast, you are a small beast
Chen Zhicheng grimaced in pain: "What are you doing? You're eating."
"I can't stand you living so close to the deputy leader's house. Let's switch places. I want to eat some good food, too."
Chen Zhicheng rolled his eyes: "I think you're faster if you daydream."
Xu Xiujuan picked up the chopsticks and said, "I'm so sorry. You came to help me, but I still let you eat such a simple meal."
"Don't be polite, we're not picky. Even if it's all dry buns, as long as we can eat our fill, that's fine."
Song Yunqing later discussed with Xu Xiujuan and decided that she would still cook the meals in the future. Xu Xiujuan could come to help as the house was spacious and there was plenty of food.
"No, I don't like taking advantage of others. I'm here to help you, so how can I let you cook?"
Song Yunqing had never met such a stubborn person: "Okay, okay, I'll provide the ingredients. Can you cook for me?"
Xu Xiujuan thought about it for a long time and finally agreed.
"Sister, I originally wanted to do it myself, but you've seen the situation at home. It's not an exaggeration to say that we're broke. So I won't try to be rich with you. When I have money in the future, I'll definitely pay you back double."
"I just like your open nature. Don't be polite with me."
After getting Song Yunqing's assurance, Xu Xiujuan felt relieved and went directly to Song Yunqing's house to cook every afternoon.
His cooking skills, which were already good, improved a lot under Song Yunqing's guidance.
Song Yunqing and Ge Jinglan sat in the yard, watching the children play and chatting.
She also took out a few packets of coffee from the space, put them in a small ceramic cup and brewed them, and the aroma of burnt cocoa beans wafted out.
Ge Jinglan imitated her and pursed her lips gently.
"Is it delicious?"
Ge Jinglan smiled awkwardly: "I can't taste it."
The coffee of this era was far less varied than the modern one, but the taste was similar.
She took out a jar of honey, scooped two spoonfuls and stirred it in the cup.
"Try it again."
"It tastes much better now. It was bitter like Chinese medicine before."
Song Yunqing was amused: "Coffee is meant to be a wake-up call. I can't sleep at night after having a cup."
"Then I won't drink."
"It's still early, a small cup will be fine."
Ge Jinglan took another sip and gradually tasted a little fragrance.
"I heard there was trouble next door again last night?"
Ge Jinglan nodded: "She made some sugar-soaked buns for Xiaohua, but when Xiaohua didn't want to eat them, she got angry. After repeatedly asking, she found out that she had eaten at my house."
"He grabbed Xiaohua and started beating her, cursing as he did so. I knew it was clearly for me to hear."
Song Yunqing also thought that Qian Xiufen was a psychopath. How could she pick up the bowl to eat and then put it down to curse her mother?
I gave food to their children with good intentions, but I gave it to the wrong person.
"First she scolded Xiaohua, then Sun Jianguo couldn't stand it anymore, and the couple started scolding each other. It was so noisy that I couldn't sleep for half the night."
"Anyway, I won't dare give Xiaohua food when she comes next time. You better be careful and don't get into trouble."
Xu Xiujuan walked out of the kitchen quickly, still holding a spatula in her hand: "Oh, oh, I'm so thirsty. What are you drinking? Give me a sip."
She took a sip without even looking at it.
"This is...."
The next second, Xu Xiujuan's face wrinkled into a bun, and she spat out: "What is this? It's more bitter than Chinese medicine!"
"......coffee!"
"What? This is the coffee people in the city drink?"
Xu Xiujuan looked at the little bit left in the cup and felt very distressed: "If you had told me it was coffee earlier, I would have vomited it all. What a waste."
"It's okay. It's not a waste if you don't like to drink it."
Xu Xiujuan thought about it again and again, and finally picked up the remaining sip and drank it in small sips.
Even though his facial features were wrinkled with pain, he was still unwilling to let go.
"Tell me, these city people are just trying to endure hardship. Life is already so hard, yet they still drink something so bitter."
Song Yunqing laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back. "This is what everyone uses to refresh themselves. When you're tired and sleepy at work, just drink a cup and you'll feel refreshed."
Xu Xiujuan frowned and put the cup down: "It's better to drink a bowl of Chinese medicine. This stuff is more bitter than Chinese medicine, and it's not as effective as Chinese medicine."
Song Yunqing and Ge Jinglan looked at each other and laughed so hard that they fell over.
"What are you laughing at? I'm telling the truth. This stuff is expensive and bitter. It's just to trick you rich people."
"Yes, yes, you are right. Is the meal ready? Let's bring it over."
Xu Xiujuan then grinned: "Okay, okay, you have all the ingredients, it seems that my cooking skills have improved a lot."
Seeing that there were so many pots, pans, and bowls, Ge Jinglan decided to help hold the bowls and chopsticks. Song Yunqing and Xu Xiujuan each held a large basin covered with a colander.
When I passed the path at the entrance of the village, I saw a group of people gathered there, arguing fiercely.
When I got closer, I heard an old lady shouting at the top of her lungs.
"If you have the guts today, step over me, or I'll never let you go."
"Can you please understand us? This pile of dirt is only here temporarily. We will remove it after the repair is completed!"
"Not even for a day. It's smelly and dirty. I can't stand it!"
"Auntie, can you please be reasonable? We have already applied. If you delay any further, today's task will not be completed."
Seeing Song Yunqing kept looking over there, Xu Xiujuan kindly answered his question.
"That old couple are well-known troublemakers on the island. They curse everyone and can't stand anything that goes against their will."
"Last year, we needed to reinforce the courtyard wall and expropriated a little bit of their land. But they took the money, didn't give us the space, and built a wall themselves."
"The construction team demolished their wall, and they were unhappy about it. They took water and went to the army to sit in and go on hunger strike. It was Captain Wang who couldn't stand it anymore and had food delivered to them every day. After much persuasion, they finally agreed after he promised to help them repair the damaged area."
Ge Jinglan: "I heard about this, too. Old Chen came back complaining of a headache, and those two laid out a mat at the office door and started yelling at everyone they saw. It was so noisy that they couldn't do their work at all."
Song Yunqing felt a headache just by listening to it. The 21st century is a society ruled by law. Although there are some people who like to make trouble, he has never seen such a scoundrel.
"This is the real scoundrel on the island!"
It’s a bit of a shame for Yao Xinjie to bear this title.
"Who says it's not true? Their son and daughter-in-law died early, leaving only a granddaughter. She said she went away to study and rarely came back once a year."
Song Yunqing's mind moved: "The one who lets his child go to school should be a sensible person. No matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be like this."
"It was the child's aunt who insisted on letting her go to school. She had originally dropped out of junior high school, but her aunt found her and sent her back to school. Later I heard she passed the entrance exams for a technical secondary school, then a junior college, learned a trade, and should graduate this year."
"Then this child is quite promising."
Unexpectedly, just as they passed by, the two men saw Song Yunqing in the crowd.
"You, you, you, it's you, stop!"
Song Yunqing didn't realize at first that he was calling her until his finger was about to poke her nose.
"Still running? You must have done something wrong!"
Song Yunqing felt extremely wronged.
"Please stop spitting blood at me, okay? This is our first meeting, what could I possibly do that would be shameful?"
The old woman opened her mouth and said, “There is no blood in my mouth, and I can’t spray it on you.”
Song Yunqing: ...
Communication is so difficult.
"Take a closer look. Maybe I recognized the wrong person? I don't even know you."
The old woman's face was full of wrinkles, and her eyes were staring at her straightly: "You don't know me, old woman, but I know you."
"so?"
"Neither you nor your husband are good people. He's a big beast, you're a little beast, and your house is a den of beasts!"
Song Yunqing was dumbfounded by the scolding. No, what had she done to be called a beast?
Xiao Jinchuan or a beast?
"What nonsense are you talking about? Did I steal your money or take any brick or tile from your house? Don't take advantage of your age and curse at me!"
"What's wrong with me scolding you?"
As soon as the old woman opened her mouth, saliva spurted out everywhere, scaring Song Yunqing so much that he quickly moved the food back a little.
"That's right, you officials deserve to be scolded. None of you are good people. You are all bastards who eat people without leaving any bones!"
Seeing that Song Yunqing didn't object much, she actually took a step forward and pushed her shoulder.
Song Yunqing was still holding the rice in his hand and was about to be unable to dodge when he saw Xu Xiujuan take the rice bowl and put it on the ground.
"you......"
Song Yunqing had just said two words when Xu Xiujuan pulled him back and made him roll up his sleeves.
"You two old fools, if you have no place to live, just find a rope and strangle yourselves!"
"You are the ones who waste the air when you are alive, pollute the land when you are dead, and waste RMB when you are half-dead."
“I tell you, Miss Song is a decent person, but I’m not. You cursed me harshly, and I don’t have anything good to say.”
"Repairing water pipes and paving roads is a good thing for the people of the entire island. I absolutely will not allow you two old beasts to mess things up!"
Song Yunqing and Ge Jinglan stared in amazement as Xu Xiujuan debated with the others. Her aura was so overwhelming that none of the opponents had a chance to speak at all.
“You…you…”
The old woman was so angry that her fingers were shaking. She kept saying "you" for a long time but didn't say a word.
"What do you mean by 'I'? You're angry because you can't win the argument, right? You two old fools, I don't even want to scold you. If you die one day, I will still play the suona for you!"
"Thank goodness we have two less troublemakers on Xingyong Island!"
The old woman was so angry that she was out of breath. She couldn't stop scolding him, so she just sat down on the ground and didn't get up.
"God damn it, someone is bullying me, an old woman!"
"Is there any justice? Is there any law? The officials bullied us and dumped the dirt on our doorstep. Now these little beasts are bullying us too. I, an old woman, will not live any longer!"
Everyone around was very happy, as they had obviously been tortured by these two people for a long time.
Meeting Xu Xiujuan is like meeting a wicked person with his own evil ways!
It’s best to vent their anger for them!
Seeing this, the old man also sat on the ground, pounding his chest and howling:
