"A colleague blurted out the words without thinking, which made Song Pengfei, who was about to leave, pause.
The colleague felt that what he had said was not enough, so he continued, "It's a pity that our Captain Song still treats him like a treasure. So, you should learn more from our Captain Song's spirit! He is worthy of our all-embracing admiration!"
Colleagues' teasing words continued one after another. Song Pengfei thought of Shen Jiaojiao's performance yesterday. He turned his head, looked at those colleagues, and said in a bad tone: "She is not stupid now. Don't say such words to insult people in the future."
Song Pengfei usually seems to get along with everyone, but he is really scary when he is angry. When the new colleague heard this, he hid his body behind the senior colleague next to him.
"Captain Song, we were just joking. Don't take it to heart. If you don't like it, I won't say it again in the future." The teasing colleague waved his hand and said indifferently, as if Song Pengfei was making a big deal out of nothing.
Song Pengfei looked at the man coldly and said with displeasure: "I don't want to hear anyone say that she is stupid in the future, and don't make such jokes in front of me again. It's not funny at all."
Song Pengfei coldly warned everyone present. Although no one said anything on the surface, they were somewhat unhappy in their hearts, but they still did not dare to confront Song Pengfei.
But after Song Pengfei left, everyone in the room suddenly became lively. "He thinks he's such a big shot! He just said a few words, how can he lose a piece of meat?!"
The person who was warned by Song Pengfei was venting his emotions in displeasure. When these words fell into the ears of others, some nosy people came up to persuade him, "Alright, stop talking too much. What man can keep his face clean when you talk about someone else's wife in front of Captain Song? Even if he's stupid, so what? This is all about face! Not to mention that he's the Captain!"
After hearing this, the man calmed down a little. He was not able to fight against Song Pengfei for the time being, so he could only curse him secretly behind his back and that was it.
On the way home, Song Pengfei kept thinking about what kind of scene he would see when he got home. Would Chen Jiaojiao become the same as before, or make trouble at home again? In the end, Song Pengfei threw all these strange thoughts out of his mind and rode home with peace of mind.
Inside the house, the fragrance of the pancakes had already attracted Mrs. He from next door before Chen Jiaojiao finished making them. Mrs. He looked at Chen Jiaojiao standing in front of the stove. When she first thought of Chen Jiaojiao coming to talk to her today, she just thought that Chen Jiaojiao was interested for a while and did not take her action to heart. But now seeing Chen Jiaojiao busy in the kitchen, Mrs. He could not help but start to look at Chen Jiaojiao again.
"Hey! Sister He, you're here? Come and try this and see if it's delicious." Shen Jiaojiao prepared to give the wild vegetable pancakes she had just made to Sister He to taste. Even if Sister He didn't come now, she would give one or two to Sister He after Shen Jiaojiao finished making them, to thank her for teaching her.
When Mrs. He saw this, she quickly declined, "No, no, just keep it for yourselves. Food is expensive anyway, so eat it yourself."
Sister He knew how difficult it was for Song Pengfei to take care of Shen Jiaojiao alone, so when Shen Jiaojiao wanted to give her something, she subconsciously refused, thinking of letting them keep it for themselves.
Shen Jiaojiao also saw what Sister He meant, and took Sister He's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't refuse. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know how to make this. Just accept it. Besides, it's just a pancake. Can you eat this pancake and make Song Pengfei and me starve to death?"
Sister He really wanted to try it. After all, she was attracted by the fragrance. When she heard Shen Jiaojiao say this, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, "Then...then I'll try it."
As she spoke, He Saozi took the pancake that Shen Jiaojiao handed to her and put it into her mouth. After taking a bite, she looked at Shen Jiaojiao in surprise, "Hmm! It's delicious. How did you make it? It's even better than mine. Is there wild leek in it?"
"Wild leeks and flour, how do you make this taste?" Sister He was a little surprised that Shen Jiaojiao could make such a taste.
They usually just add a little bit of salt when making pancakes, and the taste is just like the taste of ordinary ingredients. It can't be said to be unpalatable, but it is not very delicious either. It is completely different from the one made by Shen Jiaojiao today.
"Is it delicious? Of course it is! Half of the credit goes to you!" Shen Jiaojiao looked at Mrs. He with a smile.
Song Pengfei was riding a bicycle and smelled the aroma of food in the air when he was outside the door. He looked around and thought that one of the neighbors was making something delicious, so he didn't think much about it. However, when he walked to the door of his house, he found that there were voices talking in the house. It didn't sound real from outside the house. Song Pengfei was worried that something had happened to Shen Jiaojiao, so he quickly pushed the door open and went in.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Shen Jiaojiao and He's wife talking and laughing in the kitchen. The smell he had just smelled outside was even stronger at this moment. Song Pengfei looked at the two of them and asked with some confusion: "What are you doing?"
"Oh, it's Captain Song who's back. Look, it's your wife who made such delicious pancakes. I just happened to come over and tried one." Sister He looked at Song Pengfei with sparkling eyes, and her tone was very nice. If Song Pengfei didn't know that Sister He didn't like Chen Jiaojiao very much before, he would probably think that they were old friends who had known each other for many years. "Okay, since Captain Song is back, I'll go back first. You two can have dinner."
With that, Mrs. He walked out.
Shen Jiaojiao called out from behind: “Don’t be in a hurry to leave, bring another child back!”
"No, no! You guys eat, you guys eat!"
Mrs. He's voice became farther and farther away until she could no longer be seen.
"You... this?" Song Pengfei only then noticed that the usually dirty and messy house was now clean and tidy. "Did you clean the house?"
"Yes, who else could it be but me? I'm the only one in this house. How is it? It's clean, right?" Shen Jiaojiao looked at Song Pengfei as if asking for praise.
Song Pengfei looked around the room, feeling a little strange, and nodded, "Well, it's very clean, but don't do this kind of thing in the future. What if you get hurt?"
Shen Jiaojiao paused as she flipped the pancake. She really wanted to give the original owner a good beating. How could she have the heart to treat such a good man like that?
