Jiang Sheng pouted: "Hey, Second Sister, can you please not bring up what happened back then? I'm so old now..."
"Then tell me, how big is it?"
Zhao Xuehui blinked and deliberately sat down next to Jiang Sheng, her arm tightly linked with his.
Feeling the warm touch beside his arm, Jiang Sheng felt a little thirsty and just wanted to go to the bathroom to take a shower as soon as possible.
"Hey kid, where are you looking!"
Seeing that Jiang Sheng's ears were red, Zhao Xuehui slapped Jiang Sheng on the shoulder: "Your second sister and I have been busy all day. You can't cook, but you can at least make some porridge, right?"
Seeing the tired faces of his eldest and second eldest sisters, Jiang Sheng quickly stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Then I'll help pick vegetables and cook porridge. Second sister, could you please lend a hand and help me stir-fry a couple of dishes?"
"You brat, all you know is how to boss your older sister around."
Despite saying that, Zhao Xuehui still followed them into the kitchen, and immediately spotted the piece of meat on the cutting board under the mesh screen.
It's summer now, and the weather is unbearably hot.
A refrigerator is a luxury, and to make matters worse, the small refrigerator at home is broken.
Soaking it in cold water on the cutting board is always better than leaving it anywhere else.
"Xiaosheng, did you buy this pork?"
Zhao Xuehui couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the piece of pork.
Even if their family is well-off, they can't eat meat every day.
This piece of pork should be enough for them to eat for several days!
Jiang Sheng nodded in agreement as he picked the spinach in his hands.
"Yes, I earned about 35.6 yuan today. I bought some rice, noodles and pork. Let's treat ourselves to something nice today."
"You're really thoughtful, kid!"
Zhao Xuehui was overjoyed, not because of the piece of pork, but because of Jiang Sheng's thoughtfulness.
Then they helped process the pork and directed Jiang Sheng to steam rice. For a while, everyone was busy and bustling about.
An hour later, Zhao Xuehui had already prepared three dishes and a soup, and invited Jiang Sheng and his older sister Zhao Nianmeng to eat together.
At the dinner table, looking at the spicy stir-fried spinach, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and braised pork with vermicelli, Jiang Sheng rubbed his hands together and quickly ladled out a bowl of rice.
"Second sister's cooking is the best! I'll start eating now!"
The three chatted and laughed, but Jiang Sheng glanced at the eldest sister, Zhao Nianmeng, sitting opposite him and keenly noticed that her interest remained rather low.
It must still be because of the factory. Thinking of this, Jiang Shengqing cleared his throat and asked with concern, "Big sister, you don't look too good. Did something happen at the factory?"
Zhao Nianmeng personally placed a piece of pork on Jiang Sheng's plate, but he reluctantly shook his head, managing a slight smile.
"It's nothing serious, just eat your food. You don't need to worry about the factory."
Seeing that his eldest sister was unwilling to talk much about the factory, Jiang Sheng knew that although he had made a lot of money today, his two older sisters still regarded him as just a child.
It seems that if we really want to change the future development path, there is still a long way to go!
This matter cannot be rushed; the only thing to do is to gain the trust of my eldest and second eldest sisters first.
He stopped asking about the factory and instead planned to subtly inquire about the scumbag at the factory.
He had just opened his mouth, before he could even say anything, when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Who's this while we're eating?"
Zhao Xuehui put down her chopsticks, stood up, and went to open the door.
Jiang Sheng paused for a moment as he picked up rice with his chopsticks.
Coming over at this time of day, could it be that scumbag that my second sister likes?
Or perhaps it's that swindler at the older sister's factory?
No matter which one it is, he has to find out who it is!
Jiang Sheng immediately became alert and quickly glanced towards the door.
Near the door, Zhao Xuehui was facing away from them, thus obscuring the person standing in front of her, making it impossible to tell who they were.
Within minutes, Zhao Xuehui closed the door and turned around, her face showing a hint of guilt.
"Um, big sister, and Xiaosheng too," Zhao Xuehui pointed towards the door, "I have some urgent business to attend to at the broadcasting station, I need to go there, why don't you guys eat first?"
Radio station?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng put down his chopsticks, feeling a little anxious.
My second sister is a radio announcer. She is beautiful, has a sweet and pleasant voice, and is exceptionally skilled.
Every day's work is completed on the same day, and there have never been any mistakes.
Today, my second sister met someone at the door and suddenly said that there was something to be done at the broadcasting station.
Jiang Sheng didn't even need to think to know that it must be that scumbag who wanted his second sister to come out!
Zhao Nianmeng was still thinking about the steel rolling mill, so she didn't notice the strange look on Zhao Xuehui's face. She just nodded and gave her a few words of advice.
"Then you should go quickly. Work is important. Let Xiaosheng see you off, since it's already dark outside."
Jiang Sheng knew perfectly well that his second sister was clearly going to see that scumbag!
In this day and age, there's still a certain degree of taboo surrounding men and women meeting alone in public.
If they get caught, it won't be a big deal for the guy, but the girl will be gossiped about.
This is the limitation of this era; it certainly won't be like the previous life, where women were treated more leniently than they are now.
"Yes, second sister, let me see you off."
Jiang Sheng naturally couldn't let Zhao Xuehui meet with that scumbag, so he immediately stood up and spoke.
Zhao Xuehui quickly waved her hand, trying to hide her unease: "No need, no need. My colleague Zhaoxia from the broadcasting station is waiting for me right by the gate. She's riding her bike with me, and we'll go together."
Upon hearing Yu Zhaoxia's name, Zhao Nianmeng no longer objected. She simply lowered her head absentmindedly, eating as she reminded him, "Alright then, be careful on your journey and come back early. We'll save some food for you at home."
Zhao Xuehui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
"Okay, Big Sister and Xiao Sheng, you two should rest early after you finish eating, don't wait for me."
After saying that, Zhao Xuehui turned around and left home in a few quick steps.
Jiang Sheng didn't even have time to stop him, and he was in no mood to eat. He quickly finished the rice in his bowl.
"Big sister, you should go to sleep early. It's already dark outside. I'm worried about second sister, so I'll go and check on her."
Seeing Jiang Sheng's anxious expression, Zhao Nianmeng seemed to realize something, and her expression suddenly changed.
"Your second sister has been getting very close to a man lately. Oh no, could she be seeing that guy? I have to go find her right now!"
