Chapter 20 Not an Enemy
Although it was a very serious matter, Mrs. Wang couldn't help laughing out loud.
A couple without affection would not behave like this.
I guess there really is a misunderstanding.
Just mediate and it'll be fine.
The leader looked at Jiang Zhixun with a teasing look and shook his head helplessly.
This guy didn't speak nicely, he deserved to be scolded by his wife!
Jiang Zhixun was so embarrassed that his scalp tingled, but he didn't know how to refute Shen Qingqing.
In the end, he concluded that his kindness was taken for granted.
Shen Qingqing lowered her eyes, embarrassed to look at the expressions of Mrs. Wang and the others.
"Xiao Shen's hand was injured? I heard that you were receiving IV drips in the hospital. We thought it was because of the climate and the cold weather that you caught a cold."
Mrs. Wang asked Shen Qingqing to sit in the living room and rest. "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. You should take good care of it."
Shen Qingqing felt embarrassed to come to the house empty-handed.
How can I sit and wait for food?
And after applying the ointment and resting for two days, it actually doesn't hurt that much anymore.
"I took an X-ray at the hospital that day and it showed no broken bones. It won't affect your normal life. Don't listen to his nonsense."
Jiang Zhixun was unhappy again, "I'm talking nonsense?"
Shen Qingqing ignored him and only left him with a full-boned back of her head.
The man's face darkened again.
If there weren't outsiders present, he would have to criticize Shen Qingqing.
Jiang Zhixun turned around and continued chopping the meat without even looking at Shen Qingqing.
Mrs. Wang was amazed.
Xiao Jiang is calm and steady in his work, but he also has such a childish side!
Shen Qingqing said: "Sister-in-law, I can make dumplings, just leave the task to me."
As she spoke, she went to wash her hands.
Mrs. Wang quickly followed and said, "How can we let the guests cook?"
When in Beijing, Shen Qingqing and her colleagues also went to the leader's home for dinner.
At that time, we made dumplings together, talked about work, and talked about our student days... It was very interesting.
"Sister-in-law, if you don't let me do anything, I won't dare to come to dinner next time."
Mrs. Wang also felt that her words were a bit awkward.
He changed his tone, "Then I'll be responsible for kneading the dough, which requires strength. Once the dumpling skins are rolled out, you can help make the dumplings."
Shen Qingqing nodded, "Do you want any dishes to go with the mutton? I'll wash it."
Using only mutton as the filling will not make the flavor rich, the texture poor, and it is also quite wasteful of meat.
Mrs. Wang took out a large cabbage and said, "Go with this."
Then he brought a ceramic basin to Shen Qingqing and asked her to pick the vegetables and put them in it.
"I invited you to dinner and asked you to do it. I apologize for the poor hospitality, Xiao Shen."
Rather than sitting in the living room, Shen Qingqing would rather work, at least it wouldn't be embarrassing.
"They are just small things. They are not tiring. Moving your body will keep you warm."
Mrs. Wang lives in a bungalow with a small yard at the door and a water pipe.
Shen Qingqing took the basin and vegetables outside to wash them.
One is that I want to stay away from Jiang Zhixun.
Second, the kitchen does not have a dedicated sink, and there is a spacious area outside to avoid dirtying the kitchen floor.
Holding the basin, Shen Qingqing went out without looking back.
Mrs. Wang criticized Jiang Zhixun, "You are obviously concerned about your wife, why can't you say it in a nicer way? Now that you have pissed her off, she doesn't even look at you, and you are happy?"
From where Jiang Zhixun was standing, he could see the scene in the yard by just looking up.
Shen Qingqing pulled up the hem of her coat and held it with her knees to prevent it from dragging on the ground.
He rolled up his sleeves again and turned on the faucet.
He fetched water and picked vegetables at the same time, doing it very skillfully.
Jiang Zhixun retracted his gaze, "She has her eyes, it's her business whether she looks or not."
"We thought before that Xiao Shen was unhappy because you were not at home, so we wanted to persuade her. But now my sister-in-law has realized that there is nothing wrong with Xiao Shen, but you are the problem."
Jiang Zhixun stopped talking again.
Mrs. Wang was very disappointed and asked, "Do you still want to live a good life with Xiao Shen?"
"It's good like this now."
Jiang Zhixun's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be being stubborn.
He really felt that way.
Mrs. Wang was puzzled, "You are not young anymore, don't you want a child?"
Jiang Zhixun has heard the topic of having children countless times, and his ears are almost callused.
The hands that were chopping the meat paused.
“No hurry.”
If you don't refuse it outright, it means you have this idea.
Since you have plans, it means you want to live a good life.
Mrs. Wang sighed, "It's not necessary for your wife to come with the army, but you have to change the way you get along with each other. How can you two keep quarreling? You are not enemies."
Jiang Zhixun responded nonchalantly, and Mrs. Wang didn't know whether he took her words to heart.
"No matter what misunderstandings there are between you, your wife has come all the way here, which is the first step. The girl is shy, and you can't let her take the initiative in everything. If you adjust your attitude and cater to her, those knots will naturally disappear."
"Sister-in-law, I know what's going on."
Sister-in-law Wang sighed, "If you really know what's going on, you should spend more time with Xiao Shen. You let her live in the guesthouse by herself and don't accompany her for meals. She has nowhere to go and no one to talk to. She just stays in that small room. Sister-in-law, I don't know how you feel, but when I went to the guesthouse, I saw that she was all alone, and I felt bad."
As a woman herself, Mrs. Wang puts herself in their shoes.
If she travels a long way to find her man and he still ignores her, she will definitely feel aggrieved.
Jiang Zhixun looked up and out the window again.
While they were talking, Shen Qingqing had already picked the vegetables and was washing them.
Maybe the water was too cold, or maybe her skin was too white, which made her hands look red.
Jiang Zhixun put down the kitchen knife, turned around and walked out, but Mrs. Wang hadn't finished her words yet.
"Will this kid get angry because of what I said?"
The leader knew Jiang Zhixun's character, but he couldn't say for sure when it came to the couple's marriage.
The food for the guests was laid out, including peanuts, melon seeds, candies and apples.
And two cups of hot tea.
"I'll go and see. If this guy dares to leave without saying anything, I'll show you how I'll criticize him..."
Before he could move his feet, he saw Jiang Zhixun striding in with a basin of food in his hand.
Comrade Xiao Shen was left behind by him.
Jiang Zhixun brought the vegetables into the kitchen and said, "After you chop the meat, I'll cut it."
Mrs. Wang came back to her senses and asked Shen Qingqing to sit in the living room. "I haven't kneaded the dough yet. Please sit down and have a cup of hot tea first."
Shen Qingqing rubbed her stiff hands and said, "Then I'll take a break."
Sitting in the seat where Jiang Zhixun had sat before, at the leader's signal, she picked up the cup of hot tea that belonged to her and covered her hands.
Sister Wang really likes Shen Qingqing.
He knows when to advance and when to retreat, and speaks in a way that makes people feel comfortable, neither too distant nor too enthusiastic.
What a nice lesbian!
"Xiao Jiang, you must seize the opportunity."
Jiang Zhixun was upset by what he said, and he also knew that Shen Qingqing was not suitable here.
She should be in Beijing.
There were her career and her friends.
Instead of being here and focusing all your attention on him.
