After finishing her meal, Sheng An Ning washed her lunch box and took Zhou Chaoyang to weed the vegetable garden. In fact, Qin Hongxia had already cleaned it up very well, but Sheng An Ning felt that she still needed to learn a little.
Zhou Chaoyang followed Sheng An Ning obediently, and the two of them pulled weeds and caught insects on the leaves.
Zhou Chaoyang kept talking about the interesting things that happened when she served as a soldier in Tibet, which was quite interesting to hear.
The two of them were squatting in the shade, dawdling. Qin Hongxia came over and saw them from a distance, and said with a smile, "Aren't you feeling hot? I came to ask if you want to pickle some pickles. You can pick eggplants and cucumbers and dry them in the sun, so you can have dried vegetables to eat in the winter."
Sheng An Ning really didn't know this, so she quickly stood up and humbly learned from Qin Hongxia.
Qin Hongxia was quick and efficient. She picked some eggplants and cucumbers and called Sheng Anning to wash and dry them. She then cut the cucumbers into strips and the eggplants into slices and dried them on a winnowing basket.
Watching Sheng An Ning chopping vegetables, Qin Hongxia said, "My husband Li has gone to the city for a meeting again. It's just me and the children at home tonight. If Xiao Zhou doesn't come back, you two can go to my place for dinner. I'll make you rolls."
Zhou Chaoyang waved his hand: "No, my sister-in-law and I can eat at home. It's hot, so I won't bother my sister-in-law."
Qin Hongxia didn't care: "What's the trouble? It's just a matter of grabbing a few more noodles, and it's more lively when there are more people eating."
Sheng Anning didn't want to go either, mainly because she felt uncomfortable seeing Qin Hongxia knew nothing and couldn't say anything: "No need, Zhou Shixun said he would be back in the evening, we can just eat at home."
Qin Hongxia didn't force it: "Okay, come to my house for dinner if you have the chance in the future. Chaoyang hasn't been there yet."
He seemed quite happy as he said this. Brandon Lee said that Zhou Shixun and Zhou Chaoyang had good family backgrounds, and asked her to get along well with Zhou Chaoyang and Sheng Anning, as they would be useful in the future.
She took the trouble to come here and build a good relationship with Sheng An Ning. She was an enthusiastic person, so there was no pressure in doing it.
Bruce Lee also said that he has to go to the city for meetings frequently recently. He is now highly valued by the higher-level leaders and will most likely be transferred to the provincial capital in the future, and maybe even to Beijing.
Qin Hongxia was not very well-educated and the only words she knew were learned in a literacy class. She was a warm and talkative person and was devoted to Brandon Lee. She never believed that he would let her down.
So when she talked about Brandon Lee, she always felt a sense of pride without realizing it.
When Qin Hongxia went back to make lunch, Zhou Chaoyang asked Sheng An in confusion, "I don't know if what I thought was right. I felt that something was wrong with Bruce Lee. And I heard from people in the institute that Bruce Lee has become more fond of dressing up. For a 40-year-old man, isn't this abnormal?"
Sheng An Ning agreed, but it was always bad to talk nonsense, even if the target was Zhou Chaoyang: "What are you eating for lunch? I'll go cook."
While helping to light the fire, Zhou Chaoyang began to worry again: "I don't have any clues about my second brother. I wrote to my dad, but my dad and my grandfather have made no progress in investigating the person behind Zhou Luming. I don't know if my second brother is still alive or when he will come back. If he comes back, our family will be reunited."
Sheng An Ning was also curious, but there were no clues at the moment, and Zhou Shixun and Lu Changfeng were helpless.
They can only guess at home: "If the bad guys don't give up, they will definitely show their true colors. We can't be impatient, and the calmer we are, the bigger the fish behind it may be."
Zhou Chaoyang sighed. This was the only way now. No matter how anxious she was, she could only wait.
Sheng Anning and Zhou Chaoyang both like to eat chili peppers, so they decided to cook rice at noon. After the rice is cooked, they will stir-fry some tiger skin chili peppers, add some lard and soybean oil, and it will definitely go well with rice.
The peppers were at their spiciest at this moment. When put into the pot, a pungent and spicy smell immediately rose up, making Sheng Anning cough while picking the peppers.
Zhou Chaoyang was also choked and ran to the side, sneezing with tears in his eyes.
This thing is delicious, but the process of making it is really painful.
In the smoke, Sheng An Ning didn't notice when Zhang Yimei's mother-in-law came out. She poured a basin of water over and cursed while coughing: "You are so wicked, frying peppers in front of my window. You don't want me to rest, right?"
A basin of water of unknown origin was poured onto Sheng An Ning's legs, and some splashed into the pot, ruining the almost cooked dish.
Sheng Anning's temper flared up. She was afraid of too much smoke so she moved the stove to the middle of the yard. But who knew that the wind was blowing towards the next yard.
Now that Zhang Yimei's mother-in-law had poured dirty water into the pot, he naturally couldn't accept it. He picked up the hot pot with a rag and threw it at Zhang Yimei's mother-in-law.
Zhou Chaoyang was so scared that he trembled.
Mother-in-law Zhang Yimei didn't expect Sheng An Ning to dare to attack her, so she quickly dodged backwards. The pot fell at her feet, and the boiling oil and chili peppers flew out and landed on the back of her feet without socks.
"Ouch, someone killed me! Ouch, it hurts so much."
The old lady jumped twice in the yard, then sat down on the ground, holding her calves and crying.
Sheng An Ning stared at the old lady coldly, thinking about how the original owner had once poured water into someone's house because the neighbor was frying peppers. This was simply tit-for-tat.
Zhang Yimei couldn't sit still in the room. Although her mother-in-law treated her badly, she was still her husband's mother. Now that she was bullied by Sheng An Ning, she definitely couldn't stand it. She pointed at Sheng An Ning and scolded: "What are you doing? Are you bullying too much?"
Sheng An Ning sneered: "She poured water into my pot, and she still thinks she's right? I don't want this pot anymore, you have to compensate me with a new one."
Zhang Yimei thought it was ridiculous that Sheng An Ning bullied someone and even asked for compensation: "Sheng An Ning, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because your man is Zhou Shixun. You beat up my mom and you still want the pot. Just wait, I'll go find someone to complain."
A lot of people who came out to watch the fun soon came out and pointed at Sheng An Ning, obviously despising her behavior. After all, when she was cleaning up the fried peppers next door, she was very arrogant.
Now that others don't allow her to fry peppers, she is still very wild. Isn't this double standard?
Zhou Chaoyang saw the old lady crying non-stop, Zhang Yimei ran to find someone with the child in her arms, and patted Sheng Anning on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, at worst we can fight together, you old lady who deserves a beating."
Sheng An Ning burst into laughter: "It's not that serious, but she is really annoying, so I should teach her a lesson."
Zhang Yimei quickly called someone over. They were from the Family Compound Security Committee, and they asked them to send her mother-in-law to the health team first.
He called Sheng An Ning to go with him.
Sheng An Ning doesn't care, just go!
Mother-in-law Zhang Yimei's bad habit must be eradicated. I wonder if Zhou Shixun will blame her if he knows it?
Thinking of this, she sighed in her heart. If that bastard dared to blame her, she would definitely ignore him in the future.
