Chen Qiangwei spent a fulfilling day in the Huaihua Brigade. She first answered the questions Wang Xiaomai encountered and then assigned her new learning tasks.
Then she made some food and brought some fruits to Gu Anyang's house. She and Gu Anyang had been dating for such a long time, and during the New Year and other holidays, Liu Jinhua always asked Gu Anyang or Maodan to send her gifts.
Love is a two-way thing. If one party only gives while the other only takes, it will not last long.
Therefore, Chen Qiangwei would sometimes take the initiative to go to the Gu family to deliver some things. When she arrived at Gu Anyang's house, the first thing that caught her eye was a mud wall that divided the house into two. On the left were the houses of Old Mrs. Gu, Liu Jinhua, Gu Linger and Gu Anyang, and on the right were the houses of the eldest to fourth sons of the Gu family.
Wang Zhaodi was working hard. There was no such thing as the Mid-Autumn Festival or National Day holidays in the countryside. The real holidays were only during the New Year holidays. At this moment, Wang Zhaodi was sweeping the yard while scolding the children.
When Wang Zhaodi saw Chen Qiangwei, she was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the fruit in Chen Qiangwei's hand, she felt a little sour in her heart.
"Oh, Chen Zhiqing is here! He's so filial! He hasn't even entered the Gu family yet, but he's already here eagerly bringing you something." Then, she turned her eyes to her two pairs of children and said, "Da Mao, Xiao Cao, Xiao Hua, Mao Tou, look who's here! Your future aunt is here to bring you some food."
Chen Qiangwei shook her head in her heart. It was just as Xiaomai said. After the family split, Wang Zhaodi really let herself go. She was so shameless that even a deadbeat would be ashamed to see her.
Chen Qiangwei glanced at her and said nothing. She just lifted the net bag in her hand and turned to Liu Jinhua.
Wang Zhaodi sat up and fell backwards. Why was it that they were all human beings, but others could have a holiday on National Day, leisurely and glamorous, while she had to be covered in mud after work and had to serve the whole family.
Liu Jinhua and Gu Anyang came out immediately after hearing what Wang Zhaodi said. Liu Jinhua cursed Wang Zhaodi, the shameless mother, in her heart, but she pulled Chen Qiangwei into the house with a smile on her face. After the family division, she asked the head of the family to hire someone to build another room as a living room.
"Qiangwei, you're here. Just show up and you don't need to bring anything."
Chen Qiangwei smiled and said, "It just so happens that the restaurant gave out some gifts for the holidays, so I brought some over for you to try."
Liu Jinhua, Gu Aiguo and others would not say anything, but the gossip of outsiders can drown people. This is how interpersonal relationships work. If you visit someone's home during the holidays and don't bring something with you, it will definitely spread throughout the team the next day.
What's more, Chen Qiangwei just got a formal job. Everyone knows that the company provides benefits during the holidays. It's okay if you visit during normal times, but it's really not right to visit during the holidays without bringing something.
"You're so thoughtful. Stay here for lunch."
The more Liu Jinhua looked at them, the more satisfied she was. Qiangwei and her son Xiaowu seemed to be a perfect match.
Liu Jinhua asked Gu Anyang to accompany Chen Qiangwei to have a good chat, and if they were bored, they could go for a walk outside. She then went into the kitchen to light a fire and cook.
Not long after, Gu Linger also came back, sweating profusely. Before she even entered the door, she shouted, "I'm starving, I'm starving, Mom, is the meal ready? I can eat three big bowls."
The elementary school also had a day off, so Gu Linger went to work early in the morning with Gu Aiguo and Liu Jinhua. Liu Jinhua went home half an hour early to cook.
Gu Linger was also very happy to see Chen Qiangwei. She didn't even notice her brother's rolling eyes. She held Chen Qiangwei's hand and talked for a long time.
Gu Anyang was so angry that he drove the man away directly, "You stink of sweat, go wash up and get ready for dinner."
Gu Linger rolled her eyes. "Stinky Xiaowu, actually said she stank of sweat! She deserved it for not being married yet."
In the evening, Chen Qiangwei and Gu Anyang returned to Nanshi together.
The next morning when she went to work, Chen Qiangwei found that Lu Hongping was gone, replaced by a girl with a somewhat heroic look.
Pang Xiaoyun smiled brightly, "Hello, my name is Pang Xiaoyun, and I will be a kitchen helper in a state-owned restaurant from now on. Please take care of me."
Chen Qiangwei: ...surname Pang, oh, she understood, was it just an illusion? This person didn't look sad at all, but rather faintly excited.
"Hello, my name is Chen Qiangwei. I'm a waitress at the state-owned restaurant. I've only been here for half a month. Let's help each other and make progress together."
Master Pang looked a little listless, his usually cheerful big round face seemed a little depressed. He nodded and went into the kitchen.
Everyone was a little surprised that the kitchen staff was replaced during the holidays, but no one dared to ask Master Pang in person.
It was during lunch time when Master Pang simply said, "Lv Hongping has family matters and is no longer able to do this job. Pang Xiaoyun will take over from now on."
Pang Xiaoyun greeted everyone enthusiastically and was obviously very satisfied with the job.
Looking at Pang Xiaoyun's smiling face, Master Pang's expression became better. In the past, he was too feudal and conservative. He always adhered to the idea of "passing on the skills to sons but not daughters" from his ancestors, so he wanted to find a boy to inherit his cooking skills.
Master Pang was deeply shocked that the apprentice he had taught for more than ten years turned out to be such a heartless person.
However, this incident also made him see some things clearly. Apart from Xiaoyun, there is probably no one else in this world who he can trust.
Xiaoyun's willpower was stronger than anyone he had ever met, and she had always had a keen interest in cooking. Although he had never taught her anything about cooking, Xiaoyun, through observing him chopping vegetables and cooking daily and constantly learning on her own, had become as skilled with knives as anyone who had studied for seven or eight years.
Because he made a mistake and almost let his daughter fall into the swamp, Master Pang paid more attention to Pang Xiaoyun. Not only did he pass on the recipes that had been passed down in the Pang family for generations to her, he also tried his best to teach her how to cook at work, and even accompanied her to practice cooking skills after get off work.
This made Pang Xiaoyun very excited. She had noticed that something was wrong with Lu Hongping a long time ago, otherwise she would not have strongly opposed it when Master Pang repeatedly asked them to choose a time to get the marriage certificate.
But she didn't find any strong evidence. Pang Xiaoyun sincerely thanked the person who provided the information to her father. After skinning Lu Hongping, not only did she not have to marry a person with bad intentions, but her father also changed his mind and passed on the Pang family's cooking skills to her.
No matter what others think privately, Pang Xiaoyun goes to work in high spirits every day and leaves work happily, which makes Aunt Liu and Aunt Li a little surprised.
The promised marriage was gone, and the man she had hoped for was gone too. How come Chef Pang's daughter wasn't affected at all? If it were them...
Bah! They are not so unlucky. They have children and grandchildren now.
Well, in short, they couldn’t understand Chef Pang Da’s daughter.
Chen Qiangwei was somewhat interested in Pang Xiaoyun. Not to mention the current era, even in the 21st century, being broken off in engagement or finding out that a man has someone else before getting married would be a big blow to a woman. Even the strongest woman would be depressed for a while.
Pang Xiaoyun broke her perception of women of this era.
