Chapter 58: Be your beautiful dream in Qingqiu!

Su Mei didn't dare eat too much. She ate half a steamed bun, put two mouthfuls of meat into her mouth, drank a bowl of egg drop soup, and then stood up.

She asked Aunt Wang for another bowl and chopsticks and brought back a breakfast for Huo Jianguo.

Since she didn't have to go to the clinic, Su Mei took the clothes she had changed in the past two days to the yard, intending to wash and hang them up while she had a rest.

When Su Mei was picking up her clothes, she saw the clothes that Huo Jianguo had taken off the night before. After thinking about it, she took them out as well.

It was so dirty and piled up in the house that it was really unsightly.

She picked up her clothes and went out. Huo Jianguo, who was lying on the bed reading a book behind her, saw her leave and immediately moved the book slightly away and glanced at her chubby back.

I couldn't help but curl my lips.

Su Mei could help Huo Jianguo wash the clothes, but the socks piled in the foot basin made Su Mei feel embarrassed. Just looking at that thing was enough for her, and she didn't want to touch it.

But she still took out the foot basin containing the socks.

Because there were no extra basins at home, she had to use basins to hold the washed and wrung clothes. She did not wash the socks, but directly picked them up with a wooden stick and hung them on the tree in the yard.

Then she went to the kitchen to boil water. While waiting for the water to boil, Su Mei found a broom and a shovel and cleaned the snow from the kitchen to the wellhead.

She had to constantly fetch water between the kitchen and the well, cleaning it thoroughly to avoid slipping.

After the water boiled, Su Mei began to scrub clothes in the yard. She took the brush, spread the clothes on the washing stone slab in the yard, and scrubbed them quickly and vigorously.

Huo Jianguo found the swishing sound of washing clothes inexplicably pleasing. He didn't come out to see, but he had already pictured in his mind a chubby girl with a hunched back, trying hard to make a living.

Although he was reading, his thoughts drifted to the yard, where he stayed with Su Mei.

Huo Jianguo listened to the rustling sound for as long as Su Mei spent washing clothes. He had not turned a page of the book "Military War Strategy" in his hand since Su Mei left the house.

Su Mei was efficient and effective. Although squatting was a little strenuous for her plump body, she still managed to finish brushing all the clothes quickly.

When she stood up, Su Mei held her waist and let out a long sigh.

This time when she was washing clothes, she found that when she squatted down, it was not as strenuous as the first time. She also felt her waist seemed to be a little smaller.

It's a pity that there is no scale, and her base weight is large, so I guess it wouldn't be noticeable if she lost some weight.

After washing the clothes, they had to be rinsed with clean water. She poured out the dirty water from washing the clothes, picked up the bucket and was about to go to the kitchen to get hot water, when two uninvited guests suddenly came to the yard -

Liang Youwei and Zhao Ying are here!

Zhao Ying looked unhappy. Liang Youwei was also full of disgust when he saw Su Mei, but he still tried to put on a cold smile and greeted Su Mei:

"Mrs. Huo, are you busy?"

"Is there something?" Su Mei raised her head and glanced at the bacon and cigarettes in Zhao Ying and Liang Youwei's hands.

She actually knew what these two people were doing, but she just didn't say it.

Liang Youwei heard what Su Mei said, raised his cigarettes and said, "We heard that Jianguo was injured, so we came here to check it out!"

Haha, take a look? Is it necessary to take so many things? I'm afraid that the look is fake, and the request is real. Su Mei remained calm: "Huo Jianguo is in the room."

After she finished speaking, she ignored the couple and went into the kitchen carrying her bucket.

It is better to wash two more pieces of clothes than to waste time talking to people you hate.

The couple didn't say anything more to Su Mei, they just went into the house carrying their things.

"Jianguo, I heard that you were seriously injured. Are you okay?" Liang Youwei came into the room and greeted Huo Jianguo while putting cigarettes and alcohol on his table.

Following behind him, Zhao Ying also piled the bacon and noodles on the table next to the kang.

Huo Jianguo looked at the gifts the two brought, secretly raised his eyebrows, and said, "I won't die. I'm sorry to have bothered you and brought so many things to come and see me."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Liang Youwei gave two awkward smiles and almost spit out blood.

How could he have come to see Huo Jianguo specifically? He clearly brought these things to ask Huo Jianguo to let Su Mei be the lobbyist and persuade Lu Zhenhai not to withdraw Zhao Ying's recommendation for the job.

After hearing what Huo Jianguo said, he suddenly didn't know how to open his mouth and get back to the topic.

Can he still say, I didn’t come to see you specifically, I came to ask you for help regarding Zhao Ying’s matter?

Zhao Ying was a teacher, and her reaction was very quick. Seeing Liang Youwei was speechless, she rolled her eyes at him secretly, and then took over the conversation:

"Master Huo, you don't have to be so polite. It's only right for us to come and see you since you're injured. A small gift is not enough to show respect.

Our two families live so close to each other, and neighbors should visit each other and help each other.

Although we came to see you, we actually have something to ask you to do us a small favor!"

Look how well-spoken this is. We come to see you out of our heart. We come to see you, but we just want you to do us a small favor. You won't refuse to help, right?

Huo Jianguo knew exactly what Zhao Ying was up to, but he still followed Zhao Ying's lead and asked:

"Oh, how can I help you?"

"It's just a small matter." Zhao Ying glanced at Liang Youwei, thinking that since the conversation had already started, she might as well speak frankly:

"Teacher Huo, didn't I have a misunderstanding with Su Mei a few days ago?

I don't know how this misunderstanding reached my uncle's ears. He was very angry and said he would go to the city to cancel my job recommendation.

Without the recommendation, I would not be able to attend the class... That's what we wanted Su Mei to talk to my uncle about. It's not a big deal, why make such a fuss?"

"Misunderstanding?" Huo Jianguo was so angry that he almost laughed: "You fabricated evidence to slander my wife and almost made me kick her out of the military compound, and then you told me that it was a misunderstanding. Isn't this a big deal?"

"It's not a big deal!" Zhao Ying replied as a matter of course:

"I did this because Su Mei had done too many bad things in the past. Compared with what she did before, what I did is nothing.

I won't pursue her past affairs, and she shouldn't pursue mine, isn't it better for us to be even?"

"Not good." Su Mei, who had been listening outside for a long time, finally couldn't help but throw down her clothes and rushed in, wiping her hands on her apron while saying:

"Zhao Ying, you want me to speak for you, that's impossible. If you want to investigate my past, go ahead.

Don't threaten me, it won't work. Do you know you're going to lose your job? When you wrongly accused me, why didn't you think about how I would lose my marriage and my family?

I don't know what your motive is for trying to drive me out of the school! But I know that someone like you who will do anything to achieve his goal is not worthy of being a teacher.

You still want me to plead for you, so that you can have your sweet autumn dream and go to a cool and comfortable place."
