After Li Qiuxiang took Wang Hong to report for duty, she also went to her workplace, put on her uniform, and was overjoyed. She was even given a bicycle.
Riding her bicycle home, Grandma Li was dumbfounded when she saw her granddaughter's outfit. Li Qiuxiang grinned and asked, "Grandma, what do you think? Doesn't this outfit look good?"
"What's wrong with you? Why are you still like this..." Grandma Li couldn't believe it.
"Well, it's because my progressive thinking got noticed by the leaders, who thought we should make the best use of everyone's talents! So they assigned me to the police station. Hehe, grandma, how about that? Did our ancestors' graves emit smoke?" Li Qiuxiang was overjoyed.
Grandma Li wiped away her tears with emotion, but she thought about it carefully. She hadn't heard of her getting into any fights these past few days, and the neighborhood committee hadn't come looking for her, so she shouldn't have done anything wrong! But the idea that her progressive thinking had been discovered by the leaders sounded so unreliable!
Li Qiuxiang said cheerfully, "I'm going to find Wei Dani again and show her this outfit!" Then she rode off on her bicycle.
As soon as she left, the neighbors came to ask Grandma Li about it. The old lady honestly repeated what Li Qiuxiang had said, and whether she believed it or not was none of her business.
Li Qiuxiang arrived at the scrap metal recycling station, cleared her throat a few times at the entrance, and said in a low voice, "I can't bring my child to work..."
When Wei Dani saw it was a police officer, she quickly went to open the door. "Police officer... Oh! Sister Qiuxiang? What's wrong...?"
"Hehe, I'm a beat cop now." Li Qiuxiang said with great excitement, reaching out to take Wei Dani's daughter, Xiaoyueliang, and holding her in her arms. To be honest, Jiang Zhen's child wasn't very good-looking, but she took after her father, being fair-skinned. Fair skin covers a hundred flaws, and she looked pleasing to the eye.
"Oh! That's great! I have to say this industry suits you perfectly!" Wei Dani was genuinely happy for her.
“I knew you were the only one who understood me here! By the way, let Jiang Zhen go to that potsticker shop at the entrance of our alley tonight. We don’t need anything fancy, just to have some fun together, and bring your little moon along!” Li Qiuxiang said generously.
"No, thank you, it's too much trouble." Wei Dani didn't actually want to see Wang Dong! Although Wang Dong didn't know her, she knew who he was.
"What are you afraid of? You can't afford good food, but you'll go broke eating potstickers? Let me tell you, it's only because of you. If it were someone else wanting to eat my food, do you think I'd agree? It's a deal! I'll be waiting for you tonight." With that, he rode off on his bicycle.
Wei Dani opened her mouth, but she didn't even tell Jiang Zhen about Zhao Aiguo's relationship with the Qi family, because she always remembered her grandmother's words.
She sighed and told Jiang Zhen when he came to pick her up from get off work. Jiang Zhen chuckled and said, "Go ahead! What a great thing! Li Qiuxiang used to steal my food all the time when we were kids."
Wei Dani glared at her and said, "I don't want to go. Why don't you go? It's not good if no one goes."
Jiang Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go! I'll take you home first." At this point, Wei Dani had no idea what kind of outrageous things Jiang Zhen, this idiot, was capable of doing. Otherwise, she would have gone even if she had to bite the bullet.
After dropping Wei Dani off, he took a detour to the Zhao family's house. Zhao Dahu opened the door and saw him. "What brings you here?"
"Uncle, well, I was thinking of going out for some potstickers with Aiguo tonight, what do you think..." Jiang Zhen's idea was simple: he was afraid he wouldn't be able to make up for the loss if he went alone, so he brought a food god along to make up for the loss he suffered back then.
Zhao Dahu didn't think much of it and said, "Okay! I love my country!"
Zhao Aiguo came out shuffling in his shoes, "What are you doing!"
"Your brother-in-law is going to treat you to potstickers!"
"Alright! Wait for me!" Zhao Aiguo went inside and put on his clothes. His mother, while getting the food, said, "Eat quickly, where are you going?"
"My brother-in-law is treating me to potstickers!" she said, and ran off.
“This child…” Zhao’s mother put the food down.
Zhao Dahu caught up with him. "What's going on? Why is Jiang Zhen inviting Aiguo to dinner?"
"Let the young people do what they want!" Zhao Dahu went inside and called out, "Shuqing, dinner's ready!"
"They're here..."
Meanwhile, Zhao Aiguo, sitting on his bicycle, said, "Brother-in-law, why are you still thinking of treating me to potstickers?"
Jiang Zhen chuckled and recounted how Li Qiuxiang had robbed him of his food when they were kids, saying, "Eat your fill today! You hear me?"
Zhao Aiguo nodded. When the two arrived at the potsticker shop, they saw Li Qiuxiang holding the child and waiting at the door. When she saw Jiang Zhen, she said, "Why are you so late? If you hadn't come soon, I would have gone to your house."
Upon closer inspection, Zhao Aiguo, who had come down from the building, was overjoyed! "Hey! You're here, kid! Where's your sister?"
Zhao Aiguo said with a smile, "My sister has a stomachache, so she won't be coming. I haven't seen Sister Qiuxiang for a long time, and I really miss her. I know you've been valued by the leaders and promoted, so I thought I'd come and visit. If you mind, I'll go back..."
"You've slapped your sister in the face, haven't you? Come inside, you can't go without eating your fill today! Hurry up!" Li Qiuxiang called people in. Inside, Grandma Li, Li Qiuxiang's brother and sister-in-law with their children, Wang Dong, and Wang Hong were all seated.
After a few polite words, everyone started eating ten jin (5 kg) of food. Li Qiuxiang urged, "Eat more! Jiang Zhen, quickly put some on your brother-in-law's plate. Don't be shy, we're all family."
Grandma Li looked at all those potstickers and felt a pang of heartache. How much did they cost? But she couldn't show it. During the meal, the "Foodie God" ate two and a half pounds! The only ones who were full were Jiang Zhen and Li Qiuxiang; the rest of the people ate their fill.
There was half a pound left, which Li Qiuxiang packed up to take home. After everyone said goodbye and left, Grandma Li frowned and said, "Who is that tallest boy? How can he eat so much! Did he come here to eat the rich?"
Li Qiuxiang said nonchalantly, "Grandma, look at you, you're so calculating. There's only one pretty girl at this table. What do you call her? Oh, right, she's so beautiful she makes you want to eat. What's wrong with eating some? I'm happy to!"
