Yi Qingqing had no intention of helping her mother.

Her father had already followed her mother over very skillfully. Helping her was her father's exclusive job.

Otherwise, how could Yi Qingqing be 17 years old and still only know how to light the stove but not cook?

It’s because the cooking space is very small and can only accommodate two people. If there is one more person, it will be too crowded.

After Yi Qingqing put the things in the backpack away, she sat at the table and questioned her brother: "Brother, is the Aunt Ma that Mom was talking about the one in the building in front? What's the matter with her niece's granddaughter?"

"Well, Aunt Ma helps take care of Xiaohui during the day. Her niece's granddaughter came to visit the old lady last week. She likes Xiaohui very much. Several times when I went to pick up Xiaohui after get off work, she was holding her. I don't know why mom suddenly brought this up." Yi Zhigang was wondering if he had done something stupid again without realizing it, so his mother reminded him again!

Ever since the Liu Meili incident, her mother has stopped talking to him altogether. She only mentions him when she is in a good mood, but never mentions him when she is in a bad mood. She lets him figure everything out on his own. She has completely let him do whatever he wants.

She also said that he already has a daughter, and if he doesn't make things clear, he will suffer with his daughter in the future, so he should be more careful.

This Aunt Ma was taken care of by his mother. She liked children very much. As long as the money was in place, there would be no problem. Could it be that the problem was with this niece's granddaughter? He really didn't pay much attention to her. She seemed fine.

I couldn't figure it out, so when I heard Yi Qingqing asking, I said to her, "You said this auntie Ma's niece's name is Ma Chunmei or Ma Dongmei, is there something wrong with her? Xiaohui won't be in danger again!"

Yi Qingqing: "..."

This name is really unique, but his brother's alertness has increased so much!

But I always felt that the direction of his concern was a little wrong, "Comrade Ma, do you know what the situation is?"

"I don't know. Why would a grown man like me ask about a girl's affairs?" Yi Zhigang said.

"You are really something. You asked someone to take care of your daughter, and then a new person appeared in their family, holding your daughter in their arms, but you didn't even bother to find out about their situation. When you were looking for someone to take care of Xiaohui before, you even knew to ask around!"

Zhao Xianglan heard their discussion and spoke to her son.

"Mom, I'm not as well-informed as you! Can you tell me what's going on? Could she be a human trafficker?" Yi Zhigang was anxious.

"Her husband died, and her job was taken over by his younger brother. She was sent back to her parents' home with her three-year-old daughter. When relatives came to visit, she stayed for a week without going back to take care of her own daughter. Instead, she hugged your daughter and kissed her. Why do you think that is?" Zhao Xianglan said a long string of sentences without even turning her head.

"Is she so pitiful? Her husband and his family are such bad people!" Yi Zhigang frowned and said, "How hard it must be for this woman to have a child and no job!"

Yi Qingqing sighed and reminded him, "My silly brother, there are so many pitiful people. Don't you feel anything else?"

Yi Zhigang carefully put his daughter, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, into the bedroom. When he came out, he said, "You're not going to say that she's attracted to me, are you? I've only been divorced for a short time. I'm not that popular!"

"Brother, be more confident. An honest man like you is the easiest to get. Besides, our parents both have formal jobs, and your job has been regularized. A family with three formal employees has been deceived by bad women before. Those who are getting married for the first time may still think about it, but isn't it normal for those who are getting married for the second time to target you?"

Yi Qingqing patted his brother's shoulder.

Yi Zhigang shook his head: "I don't have the energy to think about this! What if another Liu Meili comes? It would be worse than now!"

Section 120

"If you don't have such intentions, then be careful and don't get too close to Ma Chunmei, or people will gossip about her!" Zhao Xianglan said, "But don't be scared just because of Liu Meili. Look at the person carefully. Xiaohui is older now, and it's not convenient for a grown man like you to take care of her. If there's someone with good character, you can go around. You're only twenty-one, you're still young, don't say some things so early!"

"Mom, do I have to find someone new to take care of Xiaohui? It's inconvenient to go to Aunt Ma's house all the time and see her everywhere!"

Yi Zhigang felt that what Aunt Ma did was a bit unkind.

"The factory will be closed in two days, and there is no need to send Xiaohui over until after the New Year. Relatives will not stay here for the New Year, and their daughters-in-law will not agree. Someone will definitely come to negotiate before they leave. I remind you to be more careful and don't be fooled again. That Ma Chunmei holds Xiaohui in her arms and wanders around the compound every day. I have heard rumors that you found a stepmother for Xiaohui! Although this is not a good thing, it may not be instructed by your aunt Ma. Your aunt Ma is a warm-hearted person. She probably thinks that introducing someone to you is for your own good! But Ma Chunmei is probably a little anxious. Your aunt Ma is very attentive to taking care of children, and she is close to you and knows your background. There is no one more suitable than her in this compound. Perfect people are not easy to find. As long as you pay attention, we will refuse when the time comes, and everything will be fine."

Zhao Xianglan's words came over with the sizzling sound of frying fish.

"Oh, I understand." Yi Zhigang nodded: "Mom, why don't you let me guess by myself today? And you gave me some advice?"

"My daughter is back, can't I be in a good mood?"

"Okay, okay, that's great!"

…

Yi Qingqing placed her hands on the table, supporting her chin, and smiled happily as she looked at the bustling home.

Soon, her mother's specialty dishes were served on the table, and half of the marinated duck that Yi Qingqing brought back was also cut.

Yi Jianshe picked up the boneless meat on the fish belly with the first chopsticks and gave it to Yi Qingqing, and gave the second chopsticks to Zhao Xianglan.

There is only a little meat on the belly of a fish, which shows its family status.

Yi Zhigang skillfully poked a piece of meat from the fish spine himself.

Yi Qingqing picked up a piece of duck meat for her father and mother, and finally picked up a piece for her brother: "Try this duck meat, I made it myself!"

"This duck smells delicious!" Zhao Xianglan praised it before she even ate it.

Yi Zhigang's eyes lit up after taking a bite: "Little sister, your cooking skills are better than those of the chefs in state-owned restaurants!"

"Is the food at a state-owned restaurant good because of the cooking skills? It's purely because of the ingredients! How can it not taste good if it has meat?" Zhao Xianglan felt that her daughter was better than the chef at the state-owned restaurant. "It's a pity that this state-owned restaurant is not short of food, otherwise you would definitely be able to get in with your cooking skills!"

"Gangzi, bring me the pot of wine in the cabinet." Yi Jianshe treats wine like a treasure. He will only take it out to have a sip when eating the best dishes. This represents his recognition of this duck.
