"How can you say that about your own sister? They've just been together for a short while and are about to separate. It's natural that they want to spend more time together. Isn't that normal?"
Hearing Xu Qiang complaining about Xu Li, Song Shishi couldn't help but feel sorry for Xu Li.
"Of course I know this, but I feel a little uncomfortable."
Xu Qiang sighed and moved a small wooden stool to sit on.
"Your parents are gone. As the older brother, I understand that you are uncomfortable, as the eldest brother is like a father."
Meng Xunzhou covered the pot and let the chicken simmer in the pot for a while.
Song Shishi walked over, opened the lid of the braised pork pot, and picked up a small piece of braised pork to taste it.
The taste is just right, and it melts in your mouth.
Xu Qiang had already smelled the aroma of meat before the lid of the pot was opened. When Song Shishi opened the lid of the pot, the aroma filled the entire kitchen. Xu Qiang swallowed his saliva and moved forward.
...
...
"Comrade Song, your cooking skills are really good. Just smelling the flavor is amazing."
"It's not as exaggerated as you say. It's just a home-cooked meal."
Put the braised pork on a plate, put the other two plates of hot vegetarian dishes into the basket, and cover with a cloth.
"Please serve these dishes on the table first, and ask Lili to bring out a bottle of wine. You can have a drink with Uncle Zhao first. We will come over when the chicken is cooked."
Song Shishi handed the basket to Xu Qiang and pushed him out with a smile.
Hearing that he could not only eat first but also drink, Xu Qiang's smile deepened and he patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me."
Not long after Xu Qiang brought the dishes into the main room, Xu Li came over to get the bowls and chopsticks.
But her eyes kept moving back and forth between Song Shishi and Meng Xunzhou, with a malicious look on her face.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you take the bowl and chopsticks over?"
Song Shishi smiled and patted her, and Xu Li ran away laughing.
The kitchen became quiet again, and a "cooing" sound was heard. Meng Xunzhou turned around and looked at Song Shishi.
Seeing her blushing and avoiding his sight, Meng Xunzhou suppressed the smile on his face and advised: "Why don't you go eat first, I'll be here in a while."
"It's okay. I'll wait for you."
She really couldn't bear to leave Meng Xunzhou alone in the kitchen.
Seeing that she insisted, Meng Xunzhou stopped persuading her and quietly enjoyed the time they were alone.
When the chicken was out of the pot, Song Shishi stepped forward and put the sweet potatoes and corn that were previously hot in the pot with the braised pork into a plate, then walked to the main room with Meng Xunzhou.
In the main room, Carpenter Zhao and Xu Qiang were drinking and had not touched the food on the table.
Seeing them coming, Uncle Zhao waved and said, "Xiao Song, come quickly, we're waiting for you."
There is a brazier and a fire wall in the main room, which makes it much warmer than the kitchen.
Carpenter Zhao was the elder, so Song Shishi first picked up a piece of braised pork for Uncle Zhao.
"Uncle Zhao, how about you try the braised pork I made?"
Carpenter Zhao smiled, took a bite, and nodded in praise: "Your cooking skills are not bad, almost as good as those of the chefs in town."
Carpenter Zhao started eating, and everyone else stopped being polite.
After the meal, everyone's stomachs were full.
Xu Qiang patted his belly and said to Song Shishi, "Comrade Song, when you and Lili go to Beijing, if I want to eat braised pork in the future, can you cook it for me when I buy some meat?"
Hearing this, Meng Xunzhou raised his foot and kicked Xu Qiang, "You are dreaming."
"Boss, Song Zhiqing hasn't spoken yet, why are you so anxious?"
Xu Qiang frowned and put his hand on Meng Xunzhou's shoulder.
"I see you have lost track of your last name after drinking two ounces of wine, right?"
After saying that, Meng Xunzhou raised his eyelids to look at Song Shishi's expression, fearing that she was unhappy because of Xu Qiang's words.
However, Song Shishi didn't care. She smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Okay, you two, stop making trouble."
"If you like it, you're always welcome to come as long as I'm free. Xu Li only has you as her brother, and she wants to see you more often, so she's willing to go to Jing City with me."
Xu Li shyly lowered her head and held Song Shishi's hand, whispering in defense: "No, I can't bear to leave my sister either."
…
Meng Xunzhou and Xu Qiang stayed in Xu Li's previous room that night, while Song Shishi and Xu Li stayed in the same room.
The next day, Meng Xunzhou and Xu Qiang helped Song Shishi and Xu Li pack their luggage.
Some things are convenient to carry, so I pack them in packages.
If it is inconvenient to carry, just bundle them together and send them to the post office later to be sent back to Beijing.
Yang Huifang came early to help them.
But her red and swollen eyes showed that she had obviously cried last night.
"Where...where do you live in Jing City?"
Yang Huifang helped Song Shishi pack the clothes she had packed into a package.
Song Shishi glanced at the empty room and turned to pack up the books and materials in the drawer.
"I'll take Lili to live at my house for a few days first, and then move in when we find a suitable place to live."
"Do your parents know?"
"Yes, I called ahead and told you."
Yang Huifang pursed her lips.
Song Shishi was able to return to the city so quickly thanks to the translation. If she works hard, will she be able to return to the city one day?
Thinking of returning to the city, Yang Huifang couldn't help but think of Shen Hongying.
"Um... When do Shen Hongying and the others start school?"
Song Shishi turned around and looked at Yang Huifang, "What's wrong?"
"I did something wrong before, and I want to make amends. Do you think that if I had stopped Chen Shanhe before he went to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, would Shen Hongying not have been implicated?"
Song Shishi looked at Yang Huifang and saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so she asked, "How do you want to stop it?"
Song Shishi knew very well that Yang Huifang had nothing to say about her, but in the matter of Shen Hongying, Yang Huifang was wrong.
She could not forgive Yang Huifang on behalf of Shen Hongying, so naturally she would not reveal Shen Hongying's information to Yang Huifang.
Sometimes your unintentional mistake can easily ruin another person.
After learning from the last lesson, Song Shishi is now more careful in what she does.
"I...I haven't thought about it yet, but I have been paying attention to Chen Shanhe's movements."
Yang Huifang nervously pinched the corner of her clothes, her eyes fixed on Song Shishi.
Song Shishi nodded, said "hmm" softly, then turned around and continued to pack her things, with no intention of answering Yang Huifang's question.
Seeing this, Yang Huifang didn't ask any more questions and just lowered her head and continued to clean up.
By the time everything was packed up, it was almost noon.
He prepared something to eat for everyone, and wrote a rental contract for Xu Li and Yang Huifang to sign.
Xu Li gave Yang Huifang a key to the house, and then followed Song Shishi into Meng Xunzhou's pickup truck.
Just as the pickup truck started, Shi Tou rushed in front of the car and opened his arms to stop them.
Xu Qiang stepped on the brakes, and several people in the car fell forward uncontrollably.
Xu Li stuck her head out of the car window and shouted, "Shi Tou, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
