"Auntie, let me do it. I don't know how to thank you. Today I will let you taste my cooking skills."
Qiao Yanxin said, rolled up his sleeves, waved to Xu Li and said, "Lili, come with me."
After all, Qiao Yanxin was not familiar with this place. She didn't know where the kitchen was or where to put things, so she needed Xu Li's help.
Zheng Peilan stared blankly. Before she could think of what to say, Qiao Yanxin had already taken Xu Li to the small kitchen.
Forget it, let the young people do it. She has been in a bad mood these past two days and has no interest in anything.
When Song Shishi came back from get off work, she heard laughter coming from the main room.
"Aunt Zheng, this hairstyle really suits you. It looks great on you."
"Really? I'm already old, and if I do this, people won't laugh at me, right?"
"Aunt Zheng, you don't know that this hairstyle is very popular in coastal cities now. It's very fashionable. People can only envy you, how could they laugh at you?"
...
...
When Song Shishi heard Qiao Yanxin's voice, she subconsciously looked towards the east wing.
There were some towels hanging outside the door of the east wing.
It seems that Qiao Yanxin moved here today.
But the next moment, Song Shishi thought of her things, which were previously placed in the east wing.
She wanted to go to the east wing and take a look.
The foot that had stepped out was quickly retracted.
Qiao Yanxin has moved in, and most of the things in there are Qiao Yanxin's things.
There's no one in the room now, so it's not a good idea for her to go in like this.
Song Shishi pushed the door open and walked directly into the main house.
The three people who were chatting and laughing in the main room heard the noise and turned to look at her.
"Good boy, are you off work? Are you hungry? The food is ready, let's eat."
When Zheng Peilan saw Song Shishi, her first reaction was that Song Shishi must be tired after a day of work and must be hungry after coming back.
Having said that, he stood up and walked out.
Song Shishi smiled and pulled Zheng Peilan.
"Mom, don't worry. Did Miss Qiao do your hair?"
"Yes, I didn't want to do it at first, but Yan Xin and Li Li forced me to give it a try, so I..."
Zheng Peilan felt a little embarrassed.
She is usually frugal and is basically reluctant to spend money on herself.
Not to mention perming hair and putting on makeup.
She never did that when she was young, but now that she is older, she has to act coquettishly, in front of the younger generations. She is so embarrassed.
"You look great, Mom. You should dress yourself up more often. If you were ten years younger, there would definitely be a lot of young guys chasing after you."
Song Shishi gave a thumbs up.
Her mother is so beautiful, but she didn't dress up for the sake of her family.
The scumbag dad actually betrayed mom for another woman.
She must find a way to make her mother divorce her scumbag father and make him regret it and cry.
"You've learned to tease me now? Huh?"
Zheng Peilan pretended to hit her, but Song Shishi dodged with a smile.
"Mom, Miss Qiao just moved in today. We have to give her a good welcome. I'll get out the wine I stored and we'll have a drink."
After Song Shishi finished speaking, without waiting for Zheng Peilan to reply, she winked at Xu Li, turned around and walked out towards the hallway.
Zheng Peilan couldn't drink alcohol, so Song Shishi simply made a cup of malted milk.
In the small kitchen, Song Shishi first glanced outside to make sure Qiao Yanxin hadn't come over, then she asked in a low voice: "Lili, did you help me pack up the things I put in the east wing?"
"Yes, Aunt Zheng specifically told me to check everything. I took the documents and your quilt and clothes to the west wing."
"West Wing? You moved all my stuff there, where are you going to live?"
Song Shishi originally wanted to live in the same room with Zheng Peilan after Qiao Yanxin moved in. Anyway, the bed at home was big enough and there was no problem for two people to sleep in it.
"I don't have anything. I usually just sleep in the house. I can just live in the side room."
After Xu Li finished speaking, seeing that Song Shishi still wanted to persuade her, Xu Li continued: "You usually have to work at night. Aunt Zheng has a bad heart and must rest well at night. If you sleep with her, it will definitely affect Aunt Zheng. It's better to sleep in the west wing."
"But don't you also weave wigs?"
Song Shishi always felt that this was not a good idea. Although the ear chamber was livable, it was a bit small. Besides, Xu Li had paid the rent. How could she let someone live in a small house after paying for it?
"Sister Yan Xin is living here now. Her things are all in the east wing's side room. I can just share the side room with her. This way I can learn more from her."
Xu Li really doesn't care about these things. Song Shishi has been good enough to her.
Although she paid the rent, she basically didn't spend any money on food, clothing, or other expenses other than the rent.
Usually, the vegetables for meals are bought by Song Shishi and Zheng Peilan.
And her clothes were all bought for her by Song Shishi and given to her by Su Yaqin.
She saved all the money her brother sent her.
Xu Li insisted, so Song Shishi didn't argue with her about this matter anymore.
Forget it, let’s just live like this for now. When she has more money, she will consider reorganizing the layout of the courtyard house.
Today's courtyard houses are suitable for the wealthy families of the past, after all, they had servants.
But nowadays, the courtyard houses are almost all inhabited by family members.
In fact, there are rooms in the backyard, which were where the maids lived in the past.
Song Shishi actually wanted to make use of the space in the backyard, but her ability is limited now, so she has to wait a little longer.
…
After Qiao Yanxin moved in, Xu Li went out much less often.
When she and Qiao Yanxin received an order, they would provide door-to-door service. If they did not receive any orders, they would make skin care products at home.
Xu Li concentrated on learning the craft from Qiao Yanxin, while Qiao Yanxin tried to find ways to expand her customer base and develop new products to attract the attention of old customers.
Zheng Peilan was at home, knitting some sweaters or something. She even went back to the compound to promote Shi Tou and Qiao Yanxin.
Song Shishi follows a routine every day. Apart from work, she is busy translating documents at home.
She and Meng Xunzhou hadn't seen each other for almost a week since they last had dinner together at Meng's house.
However, Meng Xunzhou still wrote to her every two days, and Song Shishi would also reply, but the frequency of her replies was relatively much less.
Basically, Meng Xunzhou would send at least three letters a week, but Song Shishi would only reply to two.
The main reason is that the number of translators on Mr. Gong’s side has decreased, so a lot of translation work has fallen on Song Shishi.
After work that day, when Song Shishi passed by the gate, the gatekeeper called her.
"Comrade Song, here is your letter."
letter?
Meng Xunzhou's letters were never sent to her unit. In the past, they were sent to the compound, but now they are sent to the courtyard.
"Oh, okay, thank you."
Song Shishi thanked the gatekeeper politely and walked over to take the letter.
The mailing address written above is Huaiqing Brigade.
In Huaiqing, the only person who could write to her, besides Carpenter Zhao, was Yang Huifang.
