Chapter 28 Do you like gentlemen? I have never been in love

With something on her mind, Jiang Tang gradually regained consciousness after noticing the caress beside her. She rubbed the soft pillow, struggled to open her eyes, and saw that the man had already gotten up.

Her eyes suddenly widened as the man casually took off his clothes, leaving his upper body naked. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his muscles were tightly toned. When he raised his hands, his well-defined muscles were revealed with his movements.

Qin Xiao put on his work clothes, took his toothbrush, walked out of the tent, and went to the door to wash up. Every move he made was silent.

After he left, Jiang Tang swallowed and slowly got out of bed. She covered the kid with a thin blanket, yawned, and walked over to take out the dough that she had kneaded yesterday.

The bed wasn't that hard last night, and even though she got up early, she still felt quite energetic, much more energetic than the previous two days.

He brought the prepared stuffing and dough out of the house and looked at Qin Xiao who was washing her face outside the tent, with a bright smile and a hint of pride on his face.

"It's not too late now. I'll make some steamed buns for you to eat on the way."

Qin Xiao stared at the woman without saying a word, with an inexplicable emotion.

Jiang Tang ignored her and quickly washed her hands. She kneaded the dough again skillfully, divided it into pieces, and started making dumplings.

After the man finished washing up, Jiang Tang raised his voice, "Qin Xiao, help me light the stove, bring the pot over, and add water."

Qin Xiao paused, and without saying a word, he just sat in front of the stove without complaint. He quickly lit a fire, put the iron pot on the stove, and scooped water.

He frowned and stared at the iron pot. There was no steamer here. What kind of buns was this woman going to make?

Jiang Tang made twelve buns with chicken sauce and corn filling, checked the water temperature in the pot, stuck the freshly wrapped buns on the wall of the pot, and then covered the pot with a lid.

After asking Qin Xiao to light a fire, she continued to wrap the rest.

After nearly fifteen minutes, Jiang Tang said softly to the man, "Qin Xiao, it should be ready. Open the lid of the pot and take out the buns."

The man took the lid of the pot directly, lowered his eyes and was stunned. The water in the pot was almost boiled dry, but the soft and plump buns were still clinging to the wall of the pot, smelling delicious.

He took a small basin and took out the beautiful buns one by one.

Jiang Tang started to work. She added a layer of oil to the pot, and when the oil was slightly hot, she put the remaining buns in. She asked Qin Xiao to scoop water over in a bowl. She mixed some water starch, poured it into the pot, and then covered the pot.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, I opened the lid of the pot and the crispy, tender and steaming hot pan-fried buns were ready to be taken out of the pot.

She was somewhat confident about Qin Xiao's appetite.

There were four buns and three pan-fried dumplings left, and the rest were put into Qin Xiao's bag.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go."

Qin Xiao stared at his full breakfast and the portion left at home, his throat rolling and the corners of his lips twitching slightly.

Jiang Tang noticed his gaze and explained, "You have a big appetite, and there is enough food here for Chu Yang and I. We don't consume as much energy as you do. This is just breakfast, and you have been working all day, which is too exhausting. Let's go."

She blinked and said softly, "If there's too much, share some with Lei Zi and He Tian."

Qin Xiao stared at the little girl in front of him with his dark eyes, finally nodded, and walked away with his things in his hands.

Seeing him leave, Jiang Tang also took his things and returned to the tent.

Qin Xiao picked up a bun and took a big bite. The skin was thin and the filling was tender. The taste was full of freshness and tenderness.

The sweet fragrance of the corn kernels completely neutralizes the greasy taste of the meat filling, making people want to eat more and more, leaving them with an endless aftertaste.

Qin Xiao finished a steamed bun in a few big bites and took out another pan-fried bun.

People he met along the way saw him holding a bunch of fragrant buns in his hands, and the smell was so delicious that it made people very greedy.

He wanted to go up and ask for a few, but seeing Qin Xiao's tall and strong figure, he couldn't afford to offend him. He could only swallow his saliva continuously, somewhat blaming Qin Xiao's wife for making such delicious food.

"Brother Xiao!"

Qin Xiao turned around and saw Zhang Hetian and Wang Qilei calling him from behind.

Qin Xiao took a bite of the pan-fried bun, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, then stopped and turned around.

Wang Qilei and the other person stepped forward and approached Qin Xiao, and the fragrance became stronger.

After eating breakfast, Zhang Hetian couldn't help swallowing his saliva, let alone Wang Qile who didn't eat breakfast.

"Brother, sister-in-law made you buns again...hehe."

Wang Qilei smiled warmly.

Qin Xiao twitched the corners of his lips, and anyone could tell that he was in a good mood.

He didn't say anything and just gave each of them a steamed bun and a pan-fried bun.

Wang Qilei rubbed his hands and accepted it without any hesitation.

If he doesn't eat anymore, his saliva will drip.

Zhang Hetian was reserved for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed. His wife had already prepared breakfast for him. This was the breakfast that his sister-in-law gave to Brother Xiao.

"Take it!" Qin Xiao lowered his voice, and Zhang Hetian immediately took the bun.

"Wow, it smells so good, what kind of craftsmanship is this, sister-in-law?" On the other side, Wang Qilei couldn't wait to eat the buns.

The juice in the mouth is rich and sweet, and the filling fills the mouth. It is simply too satisfying to take a bite.

Wang Qilei exclaimed, "Brother Xiao, this is chicken and corn stuffing, it's so delicious, I've never eaten it before, it's so fresh, everyone in the capital eats it this way, and my sister-in-law made it herself, it's delicious."

Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment. That woman came from the capital and would have to go back one day.

Thinking of this, the man's dark eyes darkened.

Zhang Hetian also tried the pan-fried buns, which were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich sweet aroma that made people want to keep eating them.

Even if he eats it, he will have more sooner or later.

After Wang Qilei finished eating, he stared at Xiao Ge who was still eating. There were still several in the bag, a considerable quantity.

The envy in his eyes was about to turn into reality.

"Brother Xiao, your sister-in-law is so nice to you. How can anyone give you so much for breakfast?"

This amount is enough for several people.

My sister-in-law is really generous. She prepared a breakfast like this.

Qin Xiao's lips twitched slightly, his voice calm, "She said that I have a big appetite and my energy is consumed quickly."

The man's tone didn't change much, but Wang Qilei could tell that his brother Xiao was in a very good mood, or rather, a very good mood.

If Xiao Ge wasn't naturally cold-tempered, he would even think he was showing off.

However, staring at Brother Xiao eating the delicious buns, he swallowed his saliva. If it were him, he would be in a better mood.

As I was thinking this, two more buns were handed over.

Wang Qilei was stunned.

Qin Xiao raised his hands, his eyes brooking no room for argument.

Wang Qilei and Zhang Hetian did not refuse anymore. They took the buns quickly with gratitude in their hearts.

Jiang Tang brought the buns into the tent, then slowly went back to the door to wash up. When he returned to the tent, he saw the little guy lying on the edge of the bed, and he couldn't help sniffing in his sleep.

Touched by the cuteness of the little boy, she picked up the bun, walked to the bed, and put it to the little guy's nose. The fragrance filled the little boy's nose.

Then wake Qin Chuyang up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the fragrant buns and his sister-in-law's warm smile. Qin Chuyang closed his eyes happily and blinked, as if he had a wonderful dream.

The rosy little face was so adorable that Jiang Tang was moved to tears.

Raising his hand and pinching the little girl's chubby face, Qin Chuyang curled his lips, opened his eyes wide, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and said softly, "Sister-in-law is bad~"

The bad sister-in-law whispered, "Good boy, get up, do you want to eat some delicious buns?"

"I want a big one."

Qin Chuyang struggled to get up, and obediently went to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Jiang Tang waited for a while before handing the boy his breakfast.

The little guy took a big bite of the soft bun, and his mouth was bulging like a little squirrel stealing food.

"Sister-in-law, it smells good."

The boy's voice was vague, and he couldn't wait to share it with her.

Jiang Tang smiled and ate the bun in his hand.

After breakfast, Jiang Tang cleaned up the house and packed up everything. Thinking that she should go over to cook, she went next door.

Lifting the tent next door, Wenjuan was sewing pants.

"Juan'er, I'm going to help them cook now. Can you help me look after the house?"

Wen Juan stopped what she was doing, looked up, smiled and nodded, "Sister-in-law, go ahead, I'll help you watch over it."

Jiang Tang then felt relieved and took the little guy to where Sun Li lived.

After walking for ten minutes, we finally saw a flat area with a small bungalow and a paved road in front.

She led the little guy forward, walked to the door and knocked.

Soon the door was opened, revealing a woman in her thirties with a sallow complexion and ordinary looks.

Jiang Tang held Qin Chuyang by the arm and said politely, "Hello, I'm here to cook."

Hearing her say this, the woman nodded in understanding, greeted Jiang Tang as he entered the house, and looked at him critically.

She was originally helping Sun Li cook, but she was suddenly notified yesterday that she no longer had to cook. Someone took her place, and Sun Li did not fire her, but asked her to stay and help the newcomer. Her salary was reduced from three yuan to two yuan.

I originally thought they had found someone powerful to replace her, but now it seems that she is just a delicate young lady who has never been involved in any sexual activity.

She didn't believe she could make anything good.

Ma Cuihua didn't take Jiang Tang seriously. Even if the dishes she cooked didn't suit Sun Li's taste, the position would still be hers. Thinking of this, she took Jiang Tang into the kitchen.

Jiang Tang was surprised when she entered the kitchen. She didn't expect that there was gas and a refrigerator in such a small kitchen!

She was ignorant and thought that no one would use the refrigerator at that time.

Ma Cuihua saw her reaction, misunderstood it, and looked down on her. She thought that being beautiful was of no use if she had never seen the world.

I never expected that when I first came to help in the kitchen and saw the gas and refrigerator, my reaction would be even greater than Jiang Tang's.

Seeing Jiang Tang like this, she crossed her arms and glared at him, "Okay, today we're going to cook for five people, nine dishes. There are ingredients in the refrigerator, you can cook them yourself."

Sun Li asked her to help Jiang Tang, but she lazily leaned against the kitchen door, showing no intention of helping, waiting to see Jiang Tang make a fool of himself.

She wouldn't help and would just wait until Jiang Tang messed up and then fire him.

Jiang Tang frowned, somewhat puzzled. Five people were making nine dishes?

But now she still had to seize the time and put aside her doubts. She bent down and looked at the boy, whispering, "Chuyang, go to the door and wait for your sister-in-law. When your sister-in-law has finished cooking, let's go home together, okay?"

Qin Chuyang squinted his eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, I can help you."

Jiang Tang rubbed the boy's head and said, "No need. Chuyang will light a fire for sister-in-law when we get home. Now we Chuyang need to conserve our energy!"

Qin Chuyang obediently left the kitchen.

Jiang Tang looked at Ma Cuihua, who was leaning against the door with her arms crossed and staring at her. She thought she was someone sent by Sister Li to supervise her cooking, so she didn't chase her away.

I just opened the refrigerator skillfully, looked at the ingredients inside, and quickly decided what to cook based on the ingredients available.

Ma Cuihua stared at him with wide eyes when she saw Jiang Tang open the refrigerator skillfully, without any sign of unfamiliarity. When she first came, even how to open the refrigerator was taught by Sun Li. When she was blown by the cold air in the refrigerator, she screamed in surprise.

I didn’t expect Jiang Tang to be so calm!

Jiang Tang decided on the menu, making boiled fish fillet, coriander beef, braised spareribs, twice-cooked pork, double pepper chicken, mapo tofu, braised eggplant, cold vegetables, and a corn, winter melon and spareribs soup.

The double-burner gas stove is very convenient. Jiang Tang prepared the soup first and then stewed it with the help of a waiter beside him.

Then start to process the grass carp. First, clean the fish, then use a kitchen knife to separate the fish bones and meat and slice it into thin slices.

Marinate the fish fillets with cooking wine and starch, then wash them clean to remove the fishy smell.

Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, add chopped green onion, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add fish bones and stir-fry. When the fish bones are fragrant, heat oil again.

The girl moved quickly and decisively, not at all like a delicate girl who doesn't know how to do anything.

Ma Cuihua had slowly loosened her arms from hugging her chest, and slowly stood up while leaning against the door, staring blankly at Jiang Tang's movements.

She swallowed her saliva. She didn't expect that this little girl was so amazing.

Not only is she proficient in using the gas stove without any awkwardness, but her cooking movements are also very methodical.

A strong fragrance kept entering her nostrils.

The aroma is much better than what she made before.

Watching Jiang Tang put the fish fillets into the pot, she walked closer and closer until she was next to Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang glanced at her, didn't say anything, and continued cooking.

…

"Don't worry, our coal kiln has definitely taken safety measures, so you don't have to worry about that."

Duan Zhongzhong, with a big belly, gave assurances to the county committee member and security guards sent by the county.

Sun Li and Zhao Cheng walked on both sides, also smiling.

The five people walked into the bungalow while talking.

The aroma of food wafts out from inside.

Sun Li immediately smiled and said, "The meal is ready at home. Let's eat and chat first."

"This place is remote and there are not many restaurants. Let's just eat whatever we can."

Having said that, she felt relieved. It seemed that Jiang Tang did not disappoint her. She smelled so good.

Duan Zhongzhong also entered the bungalow along with the county committee members and security guards.

As soon as you enter the house, the fragrance is everywhere.

Sun Li's smile widened a little, and she immediately walked into the kitchen and shouted, "Jiang Tang, the guests have arrived. Is the meal ready? Bring it up."

Seeing the man coming back, Jiang Tang smiled and said, "Well, serve the food right away."

Sun Li glanced at Ma Cuihua next to her and frowned, "Why are you standing there? Serve the food!"

Ma Cuihua did not react to Jiang Tang's criticism just now, and went to serve the dishes with her head lowered.

Seeing Zhao Cheng, her man, at the dinner table, she wanted to say hello, but Zhao Cheng glared at her secretly, so she accepted it and went back to the kitchen.

Jiang Tang brought the boiled fish fillets and coriander beef to the table, and then went to serve the soup.

Double pepper chicken, mapo tofu, braised eggplant... were also served one by one.

They are all different dishes, all served the same.

The food is richer than that in state-owned hotels, and looks delicious.

Duan Zhongzhong led the county committee members and security guards to their seats, smiling broadly and looking at Sun Li with satisfaction.

The smile on Sun Li's lips grew wider and wider, and she was glad that she had found Jiang Tang yesterday.

The food and aromas in this room are simply amazing.

Jiang Tang held Qin Chuyang and stood aside.

When Zhao Cheng saw Jiang Tang, he was stunned and his face felt hot and painful.

He just implied in front of Qin Xiao yesterday that he had married a useless wife, but he didn't expect to find out today that she was much more useful than him.

His face was so red that he was almost speechless.

Staring at the two women standing aside, Jiang Tang is a good cook, beautiful and neither humble nor overbearing. She does not regard herself as a servant. She stands aside with confidence, which is pleasing to the eyes of the onlookers.

The unpresentable wife in his family almost fell to the ground.

He was the one who introduced this job to his unpresentable daughter-in-law, who couldn't even do such a small thing.

Zhao Cheng was upset because he was overshadowed by Qin Xiao's wife.

He secretly glanced at Jiang Tang again, not knowing why this woman saw in Qin Xiao.

Duan Zhongzhong took the initiative to pour the two of them some good wine, and said cheerfully, "First come, first served."

The dishes made by Jiang Tang are all excellent even when eaten with wine. No one could find fault with the plate of beef and boiled pork slices.

The beef was tender and not overcooked at all. The customer took a piece of it with chopsticks and his eyes sparkled with surprise. His expression, which had been cold until now, softened a little and he looked very satisfied.

Duan Zhongzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Li stood up with a smile and walked into the house with Jiang Tang.

“Well done.”

She was so happy that she gave Jiang Tang two big reunion tickets directly.

Jiang Tang picked up the phone and whispered, "Sister Li, the meal is ready. Can I go home now?"

She saw the boy touching his belly several times and guessed that he was hungry.

Sun Li was in a very good mood. The county safety officers came to inspect, and they were worried that they had nothing good to offer them. Now Jiang Tang did such a great job, and they all looked much better now, without the serious and low mood they had in the coal kiln just now.

Jiang Tang has made great contributions.

The job was done well, so she didn't bother Jiang Tang and let him go directly.

"Okay, you can go back first and come back in the evening."

She still had guests to entertain, so she didn't say much. She gave Jiang Tang the money and left again.

When Jiang Tang saw her go out, she took some fresh vegetables from the refrigerator, lowered her eyes, and walked out the door quietly with Qin Chuyang.

After Jiang Tang left, Zhao Cheng and Ma Cuihua were left feeling embarrassed and ashamed, and they could hardly maintain the stiff smiles on their faces.

Ma Cuihua was biting her teeth with anger. Sun Li had just given Jiang Tang twenty yuan. She had seen it all. She had worked here for so long and had never received any extra money. Yet, that little girl had received so much money just for cooking once!

And her husband's eyes were fixed on that little vixen.

Zhao Cheng watched Jiang Tang leave, put on a smile and left the house under the pretext of something.

Jiang Tang was unaware of the hatred between the two people, and walked back quickly with the little guy.

Someone behind me called me.

Hearing Zhao Cheng's voice, Jiang Tang turned around and stared at him with a frown. The young man still remembered the man from yesterday. He stared at him with his big eyes unkindly and blocked Jiang Tang with his small body.

Zhao Cheng had a perfect smile on his face. He was good-looking, and this smile always made him successful.

"Comrade Jiang Tang, we met yesterday."

No matter how gentle his attitude was, Jiang Tang nodded calmly.

Zhao Cheng approached her, Jiang Tang frowned and took a step back.

It's twelve o'clock now. Sister Li and the others are having lunch. Qin Xiao should get off work in half an hour.

Jiang Tang was a little annoyed because he was delayed by the person in front of him.

"What do you want to say?"

Zhao Cheng stared at the beautiful face of the woman in front of him and the delicious food he had just eaten.

What he needs is a woman like this, someone who can make him proud when he takes her out, help him take care of the household when she comes home, and speak well of her in front of Sister Li and the others with her excellent cooking skills.

Having made up his mind, the smile on Zhao Cheng's face softened.

"Qin Xiao works so hard every day for only fifteen yuan. This little money can't even support you, and you still have a burden."

He lowered his eyes and stared at Xiao Chuyang.

Jiang Tang's face turned completely cold. It was fine if this person talked about Qin Xiao, but he dared to talk about her Chu Yang!

"Some people say you are very good at dealing with people, but now it seems that this cannot be believed."

I don't believe it at all. If a person like this is considered to be good at dealing with people, her emotional intelligence must be very high.

Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment, then regained his gentlemanly demeanor, "They are right. It's just that when you know how to behave in society, you can't avoid being worldly when you meet someone you like."

"yue"

Jiang Tang almost burst out laughing, her face wrinkled. The man in front of her was well-dressed. She suppressed her hatred and said impatiently, "I remember you have a wife. Yesterday you said that it was not good for Qin Xiao to marry a wife like me, and that you wanted to marry a Gu family like you."

Today he was staring at her with an infatuated look, and Jiang Tang frowned with some disgust.

Zhao Cheng was amazed by Jiang Tang yesterday, but he also thought that she was just a pretty woman with no good points. He didn't expect that she had such ability.

Then something started to occur to me.

He thought he was much better than Qin Xiao, and any woman would know what to choose.

"I am now in charge of Qin Xiao and his group. I earn at least three digits a day. I can definitely give you a better life than you have now."

Jiang Tang blinked and wanted to scold him, but after thinking for a moment, he bit his lip and said in a somewhat awkward tone, "Aren't you married already? How can you give me a good life?"

"It is illegal to have affairs between men and women. Please don't harm me."

She was already beautiful, and her sudden weakness was even more destructive.

Looking at the pretty and frail face in front of me, I felt pity. Zhao Cheng thought she was moved, and smiled smugly, "Wait until I divorce that shrew inside, and you leave Qin Xiao too."

Thanks to this woman's good skills, she will be able to help him a lot in finding connections in the future.

Besides, she is so beautiful. If he could take her out and let her flirt with him and help him make connections, it would help his career move to the next level.

"But Qin Xiao has a bad temper, and I'm afraid he will hit me."

This man had a sarcastic look on his face when he saw her yesterday, but today his expression suddenly changed. She didn't believe that he didn't have some other thoughts in his mind.

Seeing the small bungalow in front of him, Jiang Tang suddenly had an idea.

Liking is fake, being profitable is real.

Jiang Tang raised her eyes and saw the woman behind Zhao Cheng. So what Zhao Cheng meant just now was that the woman who supervised her cooking was Zhao Cheng's wife?

He looked at the ignorant Zhao Cheng and whispered, "Do you really want to divorce your wife?"

Zhao Cheng agreed nonchalantly, "I have wanted to divorce her for a long time. We have no feelings for each other and will get divorced sooner or later."

Jiang Tang said "oh" and held the kid in his hand, ready to leave at any time.

"You want to divorce me?" A woman's plaintive voice came from behind him. Zhao Cheng turned around with his eyes wide open.

Ma Cuihua was already mad and yelling, "You want to divorce me? I've given birth to two children for you over the years, worked hard for you without complaint, and asked for nothing. Now you want to divorce me?"

Zhao Cheng was afraid that her yelling would attract several people in the bungalow, which would cause trouble and his job would be in danger, so he immediately stepped forward and covered the woman's mouth.

Watching Zhao Cheng being entangled by his wife.

Jiang Tang tilted her head and smiled sweetly, then walked quickly home with the little guy, and left after the work was done.

Qin Chuyang held his sister-in-law's hand tightly and said with his face up, "Sister-in-law, Guo Guo is a hundred times better than him! I will not divorce Guo Guo."

The young man understood this. Jiang Tang touched his head and said, "Well, his sister-in-law lied to him and said she would not divorce him."

Qin Chuyang was still a little worried, "Sister-in-law, I want Guoguo to treat you well, and I will treat you well too, if you don't leave."

Xiaotuanzi was really afraid that she would leave. Jiang Tang nodded, "Well, if you and your brother are good to me, I won't leave."

Qin Chuyang nodded firmly, he didn't want his sister-in-law to leave!

Jiang Tang brought the kid back home. It was already late and Qin Xiao and the others should be back soon. Luckily, there was still a lot of chicken left at home from yesterday, so Jiang Tang planned to have hot pot right away.

She first put the rice in the pot to cook, and then began to wash the vegetables she brought back from Sister Li.

She took some fresh mushrooms, coriander, corn, cabbage and tofu.

These are perfect as side dishes for chicken hotpot.

The rice has just been cooked, so I took it aside to keep it warm, heated up the oil in a pot, and started cooking the hot pot soup.

Qin Xiao and the other two came from a distance.

Qin Xiao could see the busy figures at the door of the tent from a distance, and his pace quickened.

Wang Qile and Zhang Hetian quickly followed him and looked at each other helplessly. Brother Xiao was walking faster and faster every day.

Jiang Tang felt a shadow covering her and completely obscuring her. When she raised her eyes, she saw a man standing behind her, staring at her.

After a pause, he smiled and whispered, "Take a shower, change clothes, and come back for dinner."

Qin Xiao looked at himself covered in black mud, paused and walked into the tent.

Wang Qilei and Zhang Hetian walked behind and greeted Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows, "Come over and eat together later. I made hot pot today. It will be enough."

It was okay for Wang Qilei to be alone, but Zhang Hetian felt a little embarrassed.

Jiang Tang smiled and said, "Don't worry about not having enough food. Ask Juan'er to come and eat some. If you're worried that there won't be enough, just bring the rice from home."

Zhang Hetian's expression was gentle, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

The two of them went into their respective tents.

Jiang Tang was no longer afraid of them eating. There was always fresh meat and vegetables in the refrigerator in Sister Li's bungalow, so she was not afraid of them taking them.

Jiang Tang stir-fried the chicken and added water after it was fully fragrant.

Bring the washed vegetables to the stove, prepare the bowls, and wait for the hot pot soup to bubble up before you can eat.

When Qin Xiao finished taking a shower and changed his clothes, Zhang Hetian and the others came over, and a group of people gathered around the small stove.

Everyone served themselves some rice. At first they were too embarrassed to take some dishes, so they ate quite reservedly.

Jiang Tang frowned and raised his voice, "I found a job yesterday, cooking for Sister Sun Li, a clerk in the coal kiln. I asked her for daily ingredients. Now you have enough to eat, don't be embarrassed."

She smiled brightly and said softly to Qin Xiao, "Qin Xiao, tell them."

"Juan'er also knows about this."

Qin Xiao nodded expressionlessly, "Eat it."

Wen Juan beside her also nodded, "Sister-in-law is right. I was there when Sister Li asked you for help yesterday."

Jiang Tang smiled and said, "This meal is a celebration of my finding a job. Please don't be polite."

After all three of them said so, Wang Qilei and Zhang Hetian were no longer polite.

"Sister-in-law, the food you cook is so delicious. If you opened a restaurant, I would definitely go there to eat every day."

Zhang Hetian also echoed his opinion.

Jiang Tang smiled, but she didn't have that kind of business acumen. If she opened a restaurant and cooked herself every day, she didn't know if she had the physical strength to keep up.

It is unclear what will happen in the future, as she has no such plans yet.

Thinking of the person he met at Sister Li's house today, Jiang Tang looked at the man next to him in confusion, "Qin Xiao, is there anything going on at your coal kiln today?"

Qin Xiao nodded. "Someone came down to check the safety today. Did you see anyone there?"

Jiang Tang suddenly realized, "Well, Sister Li and her coal boss husband seem to be very respectful to everyone who comes. And Zhao Cheng from yesterday is also here."

Qin Xiao's voice was flat.

"To solve the problem of national resource shortage, the government has relaxed some of its management of the private coal industry. It only conducts regular inspections of private coal kilns for safety hazards."

Jiang Tang nodded, then stared at the man nonsensically and asked, "Qin Xiao, how many years of schooling have you had?"

I don't want to sound like an illiterate when I say these words.

Qin Xiao: ...

Wang Qilei beside him was amused, "Sister-in-law, my brother Xiao is now in his third year of high school, and his grades were very good when he was in school."

"I was about to take the college entrance exam, but my family called me back to work in the factory."

"Otherwise, my brother Xiao must be a college student."

Jiang Tang blinked and stared at the indifferent man. She stared into his dark eyes and became curious. "Then why don't you continue to take the college entrance examination and go to university?"

Wang Qilei next to him said casually, "Brother Xiao's grandfather is gone, and his parents asked him to take his grandfather's place and work in the machinery factory."

Jiang Tang drooped his eyelids, feeling a little regretful, "What a pity, otherwise you would have graduated from college by now."

Wang Qilei scratched his head and said, "What's the pity? After graduating from university, you will be assigned a job in a factory. It's good to enter the factory early and earn money."

He was so jealous of Brother Mu Xiao at that time because he could make money earlier.

Apparently, most people think so, including Qin Xiao's parents.

Jiang Tang still felt it was a pity.

Especially when I think about what Qin Xiao is doing now, he is relying entirely on physical strength to earn a little money to support his family.

If he had gone to college, maybe things would be different now.

Wang Qilei saw Brother Xiao staring at his sister-in-law expressionlessly. His eyes were like those of a wolf, which was a bit scary.

I realized later that I must have said something wrong.

He spoke hesitantly, "Sister-in-law, do you like intellectuals?"

Jiang Tang tilted her head, wondering how come the topic came up with the type of person she liked.

She turned and stared at Qin Xiao, staring into the man's eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and she spoke in a stammering voice, "No, I just thought it would be great if Qin Xiao could finish college."

Wang Qilei didn’t understand why the final path was always the same and why he had to waste those years.

Anyway, he thinks Xiao Ge is great in every way, and is also great as a worker.

Qin Xiao said nothing, his dark eyes, as dark as ink, staring at the little woman with a look of pity on her face.

After finishing the meal, several people cleaned up and washed the dishes together.

Everyone dispersed.

Jiang Tang looked at Qin Xiao standing at the door, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Take Chu Yang to rest."

The workload is so heavy, how can I go on without taking a break?

Qin Xiao stared at the girl's pretty face indifferently, and said with his thin lips, "You like gentlemen."

Jiang Tang tilted her head and looked at the man's expressionless face. If he hadn't just spoken, she wouldn't have known what expression was on that face.

She likes gentlemen?

This man didn't ask a question, but made a direct conclusion.

She has never been in love, so how would she know what type of person she likes?

"No." That's all Jiang Tang could say.

Qin Xiao's face darkened. This woman was very timid and afraid of him. Now she seemed to be better and even dared to lose her temper with him.

He still remembered the first time he met the little woman's eyes, which were filled with fear and intimidation towards him.

She is afraid of him.

That’s why Lei Zi said just now that she actually likes cultured and cultured people and is afraid of people like him.

Jiang Tang didn't know where Qin Xiao got his conclusion from. She frowned and said, "I just think that it would be great if you could go to college with such good grades. It's a pity."

Qin Xiao paused. His grandfather passed away when he was in his third year of high school. Everyone told him how good a job it was in a machinery factory, a job that many people couldn't afford even with money, and asked him to give up his studies and go to work in the factory.

Just like Lei Zi said, when jobs are assigned in a few years, the best option is to work in a factory.

The woman in front of him told him a different path, a path he had only imagined in his dreams after falling asleep.

She said it was a pity that she didn't study anymore.

Qin Xiao wanted to laugh, but he didn't smile.

"After graduation, I will go to work in a factory anyway, so there is nothing to regret."

Jiang Tang pouted her lips, looking disapproving. "Who said that? There are so many majors in the school. What the country needs now is all kinds of talents. You can choose what you like to do. There is no only way to go to the factory."

Qin Xiao's throat rolled and a smile welled up from his chest. The scarred wound in his heart seemed to be growing new flesh again.

It turns out that not everyone in the world thinks this way.

He lowered his eyes, and stared at the thin and pretty girl in front of him with his black pupils. Why did this petite person have such vitality?

"Well, who said that?"

He was clearly smiling, but Jiang Tang felt that he was very sad. His lips moved slightly, but he was speechless for a while.

She bit her lip and changed the subject, "You asked me what kind of person I like."

She raised her eyes, staring at the man with her dark, watery eyes, and said in a soft tone, "What about you? What kind of person do you like?"

Jiang Tang asked this question casually at first, but now he felt indescribably nervous and wanted to take back his words immediately.

Anyway, no matter what kind of person this man likes, he will never like her, he despises her!

Jiang Tang's watery eyes met the man's deep black eyes. His heart began to beat wildly and he swallowed softly.

Why...he is like a hungry wolf, with eyes that look like he wants to eat her.

Qin Xiao just stared at her without saying anything.

Jiang Tang avoided those eyes and said randomly, "You like girls like... Jiang Cui?"

Qin Xiao stared at the girl's evasive eyes and replied to her words exactly as they were, "No."
