Chapter 213 The Impostor
I stopped my bike decisively, held my breath, and pricked up my ears to listen to the gossip.
"Why are we no longer related? Hey, don't leave. Explain what you mean."
"What are you doing, Xu Dongsheng, let go of my hand, it's useless for you to talk to me.
I don't have any way to find you a job, so why don't you go find Qin Weihong?"
"Why didn't I go? That woman turned her face and refused to acknowledge me.
Chen Lan, please help me and speak a few good words to Qin Weihong.
Don't think I don't know, wasn't it she who found you this job? "
"So what? I'm just a temporary worker, too. I can't help you with this. You better figure it out on your own."
"If you don't help me, I will tell Qin Weihong about our relationship. Don't blame me then."
The woman was silent for a while, and her tone became gentle.
"Dongsheng, that night was just an accident. If it gets out of hand, it will have a bad impact on both you and me. Things that hurt others and don't benefit yourself should be kept to yourself.
Besides, you know my family situation well. If I had supernatural powers, would I be washing vegetables and taking out trash in a restaurant every day? "
"But I really can't wait any longer. It's already September. If I don't find a job, I'll have to go to the countryside. I really don't want to go to the countryside. Chen Lan, please help me."
"How about this, I'll go talk to Wei Hong tomorrow and see if it works."
"Okay, okay, you're more effective than me. Chen Lan, can you lend me some money? I..."
"Dongsheng, I just started working and I'm short on money. Take these three dollars and use them first."
"That's all. Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xiaotong immediately rode her bicycle away and evacuated quickly.
How come I have such luck? How come I always encounter so many things?
When I pushed my bicycle into the compound, I saw a group of people busy at the gate of Jin Qiaofeng's house in the front yard.
I wish I could dig out all the dirt in the corners.
Jin Qiaofeng was wearing a newspaper hat on her head and sweeping the dust under the eaves with a long broom. She was dancing so vigorously.
"Jin Qiaofeng, can you please take it easy? The spider webs are falling on my head."
After Diao Yulian finished wiping the glass windows, she stood up straight and saw a spider web hanging above her head.
"Oh, Diao Yulian, I'm so sorry, please stand aside. The wind will blow everything around you."
"Forget it, forget it. I'm not going to argue with you for Er Nengzi's sake. I'm going to have to eat more meat when we get married."
"Jin Qiaofeng, the cabinets in your house look quite durable. They haven't been infested with insects for decades."
Gao Xiulan and Yu Afen were helping with washing and scrubbing by the sink. They looked up and saw their daughter Xiaotong coming in.
"Mom, aunts, you are doing spring cleaning."
"Hey, isn't it my second son, Eleven, getting married? What a coincidence.
My daughter-in-law and Xiaotong work in the same place. How can you say this is fate? "
Jin Qiaofeng smiled as wide as she could, her eyes almost disappearing from the laughter.
"Cuicui told me that she and you are the best friends in the department store. In the future, we will become part of the same compound."
"Auntie, that's really good news."
Lin Xiaotong didn't expect that she and He Cuicui would develop feelings for each other while bickering, so she was naturally happy for both of them.
"It's already this late. I'm quitting. I'm going to wash my hands and go home to cook. I'll come back tomorrow."
Gao Xiulan washed her hands. She had been busy all afternoon.
"Okay, okay, okay, when everything is done, I'll treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant."
"Jin Qiaofeng, you said this, so don't cheat when the time comes."
Diao Yulian was still shaking her hair frantically with her head down. She had to go back and wash her hair and take a shower. She felt uncomfortable all over.
"How could I be like this? I, Jin Qiaofeng, am a man of few words.
Besides, can I be the same as before? I have a daughter-in-law now! "
"Mom, there's going to be another happy event in our courtyard."
Lin Xiaotong and Gao Xiulan returned to the backyard.
"Isn't it? You didn't even see that Jin Qiaofeng was so happy.
She has been looking forward to it for over 20 years, and now her daughter-in-law is coming home. It is really not easy."
Lin Xiaotong poured two large bowls of herbal tea, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat on the bamboo chairs at the door to enjoy the breeze.
The little orange cat has been pregnant and hasn't been moving much lately. She just lies in a cool place, like a cat pancake, with her butt facing the sesame seeds.
"I think He Cuicui's temperament is quite compatible with Er Nengzi. The couple will definitely have a good life together in the future."
Gao Xiulan had dealt with this girl before when she was on substitute duty at the department store.
As he was speaking, Xie Da Jiao came back hurriedly from the front yard pushing his bicycle, with sweat on his forehead.
"Xiu Lan, something happened at the factory today and I was delayed."
"Dad, drink some water first."
Lin Xiaotong poured another bowl of herbal tea.
"Why."
Xie Da Jiao sat down next to the door, took off her straw hat, held it in her hand and fanned herself with it.
"What do you want to eat? People don't have much appetite in this hot summer."
Gao Xiulan turned her head and asked, taking another sip of water.
"Just mix some jelly, add some smashed cucumber, tomatoes with sugar, and some tiger vegetables."
Xie Da Jiao squinted his eyes, and a cool breeze came in through his sleeves, making him feel comfortable.
"I know how to do this, Mom and Dad, you guys take a break, I'll cook."
After listening to Xie Da Jiao name the dishes, Lin Xiaotong was the first to raise her hand. Finally, there was a dish she could cook.
And she had eaten in the evening, so it was just right for digestion.
"Okay, then let's try our Xiaotong's cooking today.
I made the jelly earlier and put it in a basin of cold water. You can just take it out and cut it."
Gao Xiulan thought that after cooking, she would give her child some more pocket money.
That brat Xie Yi had used this trick many times before to save pocket money, and the meals he cooked were all clearly marked with prices.
There is no way to order dishes. A cold tomato dish costs ten cents, and you can't say it's not delicious.
"Mom and Dad, just wait and see."
She was full of confidence. For a kitchen novice like her, these dishes couldn't be simpler.
And she really has some talent for making sauces.
Diao Yulian in the west waited and waited, stretching her neck towards the door, and spoke in an impatient tone.
"Your dad goes off to nowhere every day after get off work, and he hasn't even come back for dinner yet."
"Did Dad go to queue up to buy roast duck?"
Wu Jiabao drank the orange-flavored Beibingyang in big gulps. It was so delicious that he licked the bottle cap clean.
After you finish the juice, you can add more water to the bottle and still drink it.
"I think you're dreaming. Where does your dad get the pocket money to buy roast duck?"
Wu Jiabao was scolded by his mother and pursed his lips. He decided not to get into trouble and just stayed down quietly.
His head is about to spit fire.
"Ouch! Ouch! My legs! Why do you keep bumping into me?"
Lin Xiaotong was cutting cucumber shreds on the stove by the kitchen window. When Wu Shengli shouted at her, her hands shook and the last piece of cucumber shreds turned into thick chunks of cucumber.
Well, it’s not a big deal, they’re just cucumbers anyway.
Just after cutting, pour the cucumber shreds into a large bowl, pour the sauce on it, and stir evenly with chopsticks.
I looked up at the lively scene in the compound.
Listen—
"Wu Shengli, what have you done? Where's our bicycle? How did it become such a pile of rubbish?"
