Chapter 136 Gu Yin: I want to see a photo of Old Madam Zhou.
Just as the two finished washing the sausages and cured meat, Feng Jiangyue's phone rang.
Seeing that it was Xia Zhi calling, Feng Jiangyue answered with a puzzled look: "What's wrong?"
Xia Zhi found a place to park the car, got out, and walked towards the vegetable market.
"I've come to pick you up. Let's go back tonight. I'm on this street right now. What kind of food do you want? I'll buy it and cook it for you!"
When Feng Jiangyue told him she wanted to stay at school to train students, he disagreed. Everyone else had left for the holidays, and what if a girl like you was left alone and encountered danger? Later, when he learned that several other teachers were also staying at school, and even that several teachers' families lived at the school, Xia Zhi finally felt relieved.
But with the Chinese New Year approaching, many teachers gradually returned to their hometowns. By this morning, only Feng Jiangyue remained at the school. He was worried about leaving her alone here overnight, so after learning about the situation, he quickly drove over and drove back to the provincial capital overnight after class this afternoon.
"We have cured pork here. Buy some greens, some snails and mustard greens, and make a snail and mustard green soup!" After giving the instructions, Feng Jiangyue hung up the phone.
Gu Yin also heard the voices over there. It must have been the man from the school gate earlier. Considering the relationship between the two, Gu Yin said, "How about I go out to eat? You two might have something to say to each other."
Feng Jiangyue blushed: "No need, let's eat together! After we eat, we won't rest. We can finish our afternoon tasks early so I can go back sooner! I was originally planning to leave tomorrow, but since someone is picking me up, I won't stay any longer."
"Really not going to bother you?" Gu Yin asked with a smile.
Feng Jiangyue: "...What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Go wash the garlic sprouts, hurry up!"
Seeing her embarrassed and indignant expression, Gu Yin stopped teasing her and went to attend to her work.
When Xia Zhi brought in the vegetables and saw Gu Yin cutting cured meat, he was stunned for a moment.
He looked around the room and, not seeing Feng Jiangyue, called out, "Jiangyue?"
"Hey! Over in the kitchen!" Hearing Xia Zhi's voice, Feng Jiangyue, who was preparing chili peppers, stood up.
"You're here? Come in! Are you cold? Sit by the fire and warm up!"
Summer Solstice came into the house and put the vegetables in the kitchen.
Gu Yin put down the kitchen knife and greeted, "Greetings, Master."
Xia Zhi, who had been somewhat serious, immediately burst into laughter upon hearing the address "Master," and rolled up her sleeves: "You all go warm yourselves by the fire! I'll do it! My cooking skills are pretty good, come and sit down!"
After washing his hands, he picked up the kitchen knife from the cutting board, told the two men to leave, and then began to get busy.
Seeing this, Feng Jiangyue smiled and said, "Then we'll go out. You can cook." After saying that, she beckoned Gu Yin to leave.
One dish of green vegetables, one dish of stir-fried cured pork with chili peppers, and one dish of clam and mustard green soup—the dishes were ready in less than an hour, with both stoves working together.
Gu Yin and Feng Jiangyue set out the bowls and chopsticks together, and took out the sausage from the rice. After Xia Zhi cut it up, the three of them started eating.
"This cured pork is so delicious! It's fatty but not greasy, and the lean parts are very chewy. The more you eat, the more fragrant it becomes. It's exactly the taste I've been craving!" Feng Jiangyue exclaimed after taking a few bites.
Gu Yin took a few sips of the soup. It was a little bitter, but mostly refreshing and sweet. The taste was very unique, but it was delicious!
"Master's cooking is truly excellent; Teacher is in for a treat!"
Xia Zhi glanced at Feng Jiangyue, then smiled and said, "I learned this specifically for her in college. It took me quite a while. I wouldn't say it's delicious, but at least it won't make your teacher hungry."
"Don't talk while eating! Eat!" Feng Jiangyue said, feeling embarrassed, pretending to be angry.
Half an hour later, the three of them had finished all four dishes.
Xia Zhi automatically stood up: "You guys sit down and study for a bit, I'll go wash the dishes. The sooner I finish studying, the sooner I can go home!"
Gu Yin and Feng Jiangyue didn't waste any time; after a ten-minute break, they started going over the test paper again.
When Xia Zhi finished washing the dishes, the two of them were already engrossed in their studies.
He took his newly bought laptop, sat down on the sofa, and started working on his emails.
After Xia Zhi finished his work, the two were still discussing the problem. He got up to boil some water. There were no extra cups, so he poured the water into a bowl and placed it on their table. Then he sat quietly to the side and watched them teach.
Seeing Feng Jiangyue's serious and responsible demeanor, Xia Zhi felt a surge of pride. His girlfriend was truly an exceptionally outstanding and charming person!
A few days ago, his family called him and asked him to come home for the Chinese New Year. They said that Mu Yuxin would also come to visit and ask him to come back and keep her company. They said that as long as he went back, his original position would be returned to him without any problems.
Xia Zhi hung up the phone before his father could finish speaking. Who cares? The Xia family company is a family business. Several uncles and aunts are like big Buddhas, untouchable and unassailable. He doesn't say anything if they don't work but just take money, but those big Buddhas always recruit strange and incompetent people, making the company a mess!
He's doomed sooner or later! He might as well leave his own company sooner rather than later!
Thinking of the annoying Mu Yuxin, and then of Zhou Feifei, he was puzzled. Mu Yuxin was his junior in college, meaning she was already there. Online, Zhou Feifei seemed to be around the same age as Gu Yin—one in middle school, the other in college. How did these two get together? Was it through tutoring? But with the Zhou family's wealth, shouldn't they be hiring top students or teachers to tutor Zhou Feifei? Why would they choose Mu Yuxin, someone with no reputation?
Xia Zhi was right. Mu Yuxin was indeed Zhou Feifei's tutor. Originally, they had asked Mu Yuxin's class monitor, but the monitor was unavailable. Since Mu Yuxin and the monitor were friends, the monitor recommended Mu Yuxin to Zhou Feifei.
Mu Yuxin is sweet-talking, adept at reading people's expressions, and cunning. In addition, Zhou Feifei is just putting on an act and doesn't really want to study. He's thinking that if he doesn't pass the exam, his grandfather can just donate a few buildings. So, Mu Yuxin, who is sweet-talking and good at flattery, caught Zhou Feifei's eye.
Thinking of Zhou Feifei, Xia Zhi also thought of Grandpa Zhou Wansheng. Since he had nothing else to do, he opened the website, entered Zhou Wansheng's name, and watched the interview video about his rise to wealth and success again.
When Xia Zhi saw Madam Zhou, Wang Yanzhi, she looked up at Gu Yin again. To be honest, the way Gu Yin listened attentively to Jiang Yue's lecture was very similar to the way Madam Wang Yanzhi listened attentively to the reporter's question!
Feng Jiangyue reluctantly put down the test paper and looked quietly at Xia Zhi: "How long are you going to keep reading?"
Xia Zhi snapped out of her daze and looked at Feng Jiangyue: "What's wrong?"
Gu Yin lowered her head and remained silent. She knew it when Xia Zhi looked at her, and after watching her for a while, she couldn't help but remind the teacher.
"I'm asking you, how long are you going to watch?!"
Xia Zhi was puzzled. What was he looking at? He had just glanced at Gu Yin... Okay, he was misunderstood.
"No, it's not what you think! I was indeed looking at Gu Yin. I told you last time, I think Madam Zhou and Gu Yin look very similar. I just saw the news and saw Madam Zhou again, so I was curious and compared their appearances, and that's why I took a few more glances," Xia Zhi said helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiangyue glared at him: "Didn't we already say last time that Mr. Zhou is the richest man in Hong Kong, and his wife is the richest man's wife? What does that have to do with our Gu Yin? She just looks a bit like him. Why are you making such a fuss? She's not our long-lost granddaughter! Alright, sit down and don't disturb our discussion!"
Gu Yin, who had been relatively quiet, immediately looked up when she heard Feng Jiangyue's last few words.
Feng Jiangyue was startled: "What, what's wrong? Your master doesn't have any bad intentions, he's just a little too curious. Shall we continue the lesson?"
Gu Yin blinked and laughed: "Teacher, may I go and see the photo of Old Madam Zhou? I'm quite curious to see how much we look alike, that Grandmaster remembers us so fondly."
Hearing Gu Yin say that, Feng Jiangyue also became a little curious, so she nodded: "Let's go and take a look together."
