"Don't worry. I think the person from Chunyang Street should be more anxious to find a solution than me. Let's wait and see. As long as we can make sure that woman doesn't hurt my mother, that'll be fine."
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Xu Li wanted to go to Qiao Yanxin to see if she needed any help. There had been no orders for wigs recently, so she had no more work to weave wigs.
Song Shishi returned to the courtyard by herself, just in time to finish the remaining documents that had not been translated as soon as possible.
She moved out of her home and there was no telephone in the courtyard. She had to say hello to Mr. Gong later. The only way to contact her was to write a letter or ask someone to pass the message.
Ever since Song Shishi and Xu Li went to Chunyang Street, slapped Song Pingan, and met the mistress again, this matter has been like a silent sea, and has never caused any waves again.
Song Shishi couldn't help but admire the woman's determination.
She even came to the house and beat up that woman's son, but she didn't even tell Song Zhenhua about it?
The next day, Zheng Peilan moved to the courtyard to live with Song Shishi and the others.
Song Shishi gave the main house to Zheng Peilan, while she and Xu Li lived in the west wing and the east wing respectively.
...
...
Now Xu Li has her own things to do when she comes home from get off work every day, and the same goes for Song Shishi. After coming home from get off work every day, she cooks, cleans up the kitchen, and then goes back to her room to translate documents.
In order to make money, she has taken on a lot of translation work recently.
Perhaps because she is now working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is exposed to more translation documents, she is more comfortable and faster than before when translating library-related books.
Zheng Peilan spent every day in the courtyard, reading books, playing with Xiao Shiwu, and when she had nothing to do, she would grow vegetables in the yard or go out for a stroll.
The location of this courtyard house is great. The surroundings are very quiet, but outside the alley are the bustling streets and shopping malls.
But it's strange that when Song Shishi asked Zheng Peilan to stay in the courtyard for a few more days, Zheng Peilan showed that she was very worried about Song Zhenhua.
But she only stayed back for one night, and when she came to the courtyard the next day, she brought a large box of luggage.
That's not just a matter of staying for a few days.
But since Zheng Peilan didn't say anything, Song Shishi pretended not to know and didn't ask Zheng Peilan how long she planned to live in the courtyard.
The mother and daughter had an inexplicable tacit understanding and neither of them mentioned it.
Xu Li naturally wouldn't ask any questions. She wished Zheng Peilan could live here forever so that the family could be more lively.
"Be good, cook the greens I planted today. Xunzhou has been busy all day. He finally dug up the tree in the yard."
Song Shishi bought fish today and was making braised fish. When she heard Zheng Peilan say this, she poked her head out and glanced at Meng Xunzhou who was washing his hands outside.
"Didn't he hire someone to do it?"
"Look at what you're saying. People are busying themselves for your affairs, so you should be grateful to them, right?"
Zheng Peilan was afraid that Meng Xunzhou would hear it and be hurt, so while she was scolding Song Shishi, she would look back at Meng Xunzhou from time to time.
Song Shishi raised the corner of her mouth slightly. She was just being stubborn. How could she not appreciate Meng Xunzhou's kindness?
Meng Xunzhou has been very busy recently, and Song Shishi rarely sees him.
As soon as he finished his work, he ran to the courtyard to show his courtesy, and was busy all day long.
Song Shishi made this fish today specially for Meng Xunzhou.
Since childhood, Meng Xunzhou’s favorite food is fish.
She always remembered.
"Did you hear what I said?"
Seeing that Song Shishi didn't respond after she finished speaking, Zheng Peilan walked over to her and gently nudged her with her elbow.
Song Shishi was helpless. While taking the braised fish out of the pot, she replied, "I know. Xunzhou is the best. I know everything. I will repay him well."
When she said this, she deliberately spoke very loudly so that Meng Xunzhou, who was about to enter the kitchen, could hear it.
Meng Xunzhou raised his eyebrows, "No need to repay, I did it voluntarily, just know it in your heart."
Originally, Zheng Peilan was afraid that her daughter was careless and might accidentally hurt Meng Xunzhou's feelings.
But now she found that her worries were completely unnecessary.
This young couple has a very good relationship.
Alas... She is old after all and cannot understand the feelings between these young people.
Zheng Peilan no longer stayed in the kitchen to avoid being disliked.
She ran to the main yard to pick vegetables.
Now there were only Meng Xunzhou and Song Shishi left in the kitchen.
Song Shishi concentrated on cooking while Meng Xunzhou helped her at the side.
Even though the two of them didn't talk, they got along very well.
Meng Xunzhou really likes being with Song Shishi like this, and feels like life is peaceful and tranquil.
"Xunzhou, how do you like this dish?"
Song Shishi is making a new dish she has learned, Mapo Tofu.
It was her first time making it, so she wasn’t sure if it would taste good. Meng Xunzhou happened to be there, so she wanted him to help her try the taste.
She picked up a piece of tender tofu with chopsticks, held it with her other hand, and handed it to Meng Xunzhou's mouth.
This intimate action made Meng Xunzhou's body stiff for a moment, but he didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he took Song Shishi's hand, opened his mouth and put the piece of tofu in his mouth.
Song Shishi maintained the posture of feeding and asked, "How is it?"
Meng Xunzhou nodded. "It tastes OK, but it would be better if it were spicier."
"Is that so?"
Song Shishi had a serious expression on her face, concentrating on the food she was cooking, and didn't notice at all that Meng Xunzhou's ears were already red.
"Then I'll add some more spiciness."
After Song Shishi finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that the chili peppers in the kitchen were gone, so she turned around and asked Meng Xunzhou to pick some.
"you……"
As a result, when she turned her head, her lips brushed against Meng Xunzhou's cheek.
The unfinished words came to an abrupt end.
At the same time, the actions of Song Shishi and Meng Xunzhou seemed to be paused, frozen at this moment.
But the next second, after Song Shishi reacted, her face flushed and she stepped back repeatedly.
"Forehead……"
She wasn't paying attention and her feet tripped over each other, falling backwards, hitting her waist on the edge of the stove and crying out in pain.
Song Shishi frowned and held her waist, and all the random thoughts in her mind just now disappeared.
Meng Xunchang stretched out his long arm, brought her body into his arms, and placed his warm big palm on her lower back, kneading it gently.
"Be careful, what were you going to say?"
The two of them were very close now, so close that Song Shishi could clearly hear Meng Xunzhou's rapidly beating heartbeat.
She lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "The pepper is gone."
Hearing this, Meng Xunzhou helped her stand steadily and asked, "Is your waist feeling better now?"
Song Shishi nodded.
"Then I'll go pick some, you wait a moment."
"Um."
Hearing Song Shishi's response, Meng Xunzhou turned and left.
At the same time, Song Shishi turned her back and let out a light breath.
When she heard Meng Xunzhou's heartbeat just now, she held her breath unconsciously. Now she felt like she was alive again.
"Sister, the chili you asked for."
After a while, the person who came to deliver the peppers turned out to be Xu Li.
Song Shishi glanced outside, feeling puzzled.
Could it be that the accidental touch just now scared Meng Xunzhou?
