Xue Guixiang saw that Qiao Jingzhen was already old but still dressed so neatly and elegantly. Then she looked at herself, wearing the same dark clothes all the time, and she looked pale in comparison to Qiao Jingzhen.
It’s not that she had nothing to wear. Her daughter-in-law bought her a lot of new clothes, but she felt that it was uncomfortable to work in new clothes, and she still felt more comfortable wearing old clothes.
But if I wear it like this, I will be looked down upon by someone...
Sure enough, Qiao Jingzhen rolled her eyes again, but she didn't pick on her clothes, but on her behavior: "Trouble? What do you mean, if I do such a small thing, it's troublesome. Then if I eat and drink for free at your house every day in the future, will it also cause trouble for you? Are you trying to get rid of me in various ways?"
Xue Guixiang didn't dare to say a word and quickly waved her hands: "Aunt Qiao, I absolutely didn't mean that..."
Forget it, she can't argue with Qiao Jingzhen. Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one, so she should just withdraw quickly.
Zhou Zhuo was worried about his second uncle's health and couldn't sleep for a long time. He sat in the living room reading a book. He was afraid of waking up his wife, so he turned the lights very dim.
In fact, Lin Qingqing in the bedroom was also awake. She stared at the ceiling with her eyes open, her hands under her head, thinking about how to provide clues to the police. After thinking about it, she thought it would be more appropriate to meet the secretary so that she could confirm whether the secretary really knew the inside story.
But she couldn't let anyone know about this, including Zhou Zhuo.
As a result, she had to ask Hou Xiaorou to help look after the store. Wei Xiaobao was in the hospital taking care of patients. Both sides were short of staff and no one could spare the time.
After these busy days, the store will have to hire a clerk so that she can have someone to help.
After thinking about these two things, she got up from the bed. Xue Guixiang had already helped Qiao Jingzhen bring the meal to the dining table. Lin Qingqing and Zhou Zhuo washed their hands and sat over.
On the table were two bowls of red date and white fungus soup and two bowls of ordinary millet porridge. Qiao Jingzhen pointed at the two bowls of red date and white fungus soup and said, "Guixiang and Qingqing are drinking red date and white fungus soup. They made too much for the wounded, so you should also take advantage of it. Zhou Zhuo and I are drinking millet porridge. There's nothing much to nourish us, an old lady and a big man. Do you have any objections?"
The old lady said the last sentence to Zhou Zhuo.
Of course Zhou Zhuo had no objection. How could he compete with his wife and mother for food?
In addition to porridge, there are also steamed horse lettuce buns made by Qiao Jingzhen himself. The horse lettuce was cut in the dog days of summer last year, blanched in boiling water, dried and stored. It was preserved for a whole winter and tasted just right to eat this spring. There was a lot of fat in the buns, and they were very oily and fragrant when you bit them.
Many families go through the spring when there is a gap between the harvest and the harvest.
The Zhou family used to be like this every year. They would be lucky to have some dried vegetables to improve their lives in the spring. But this year, their lives are better. They can eat dried vegetable buns with meat, which is something Xue Guixiang would never have dared to dream of before.
Lin Qingqing had a good appetite and ate three buns in one go. Zhou Zhuo also ate three. After the meal, they went their separate ways. Zhou Zhuo accompanied Xue Guixiang to the hospital to visit his second uncle. Qiao Jingzhen filled a thermos with some white fungus soup for them to take away, and told them not to let the patients drink too much, otherwise it would be bad for their stomachs.
Lin Qingqing was going to the store. Zhou Zhuo felt relieved that Huangmao and his cousin were protecting his wife today.
No one knew that as soon as she went out, she went to Hou Guiying's tailor shop, asked Hou Xiaorou to help look after the shop for half a day, and then went to the government building.
The gatekeeper at the government building was an old man, squinting at her.
