"Qiu, it's me, your sister Du!"
Aunt Du's voice was deep and full of smiles.
As soon as Fang Yingqiu heard who was coming, she quickly put down the basin in her hand, stood up and walked towards the door, "Here I come!"
The neighbors in their alley have a good relationship and help each other on weekdays.
Especially Aunt Du’s house.
Whenever Aunt Du cooked something delicious, she would share some with their family, and Fang Yingqiu would often bring some of her own cooking to her.
After a while, their relationship became like that of relatives, very good.
After Fang Yingqiu hurriedly opened the door, she met Aunt Du's smiling eyes.
Before she could say anything, Aunt Du directly put the small iron basin in her hand into Fang Yingqiu's arms and said with a smile: "I went to the market yesterday and bought a few pounds of meat to stew. I brought some for you to try."
Fang Yingqiu curved her eyes and said, "Sister Du, thank you!"
Aunt Du glared at her in a feigned anger, "Why are you being so polite to me?"
Fang Yingqiu smiled, looked down at the iron basin in her hand, and was stunned when she saw three large strips of braised meat in it.
Usually two are given away.
Fang Yingqiu looked up at Aunt Du with a puzzled look.
"Don't you have one more person in your family? Two pieces are not enough! I think the girl is too thin. Give her some to nourish her body. This is my thought!"
Fang Yingqiu immediately understood what Aunt Du meant and nodded, "Then I'll thank Sister Du on behalf of Xia Chu."
While chatting, Aunt Du suddenly seemed to remember something, said "Ouch!", picked up the bag in her hand, took out several loofahs from it, and handed them to Fang Yingqiu.
"My family has just harvested some loofahs, and they are still tender. Xia Chu loves loofah fried egg soup, so give it to her."
Fang Yingqiu was a little confused. She didn't know why Aunt Du was so nice to Jiang Xiachu. "Sister Du, what are you doing...?"
Aunt Du scratched her head, a little embarrassed. "My Dazhuang used to have very poor grades, so I had to trouble Xiachu to give him extra lessons. At that time, she loved the loofah soup I made."
"Qiu, you should eat more of these loofahs and marinated meats. They will also provide nutrition for the two children."
After hearing this, Fang Yingqiu understood instantly. Since it was for the child, she would accept it.
"How is Xia Chu's injury? I could see a scar from a distance just now, but I don't know what it looks like. It makes me so sad."
"I know Xia Chu's dream is to join the art troupe. I heard that the assessment will be held next week. No matter what, we can't delay her from joining the art troupe."
Aunt Du said this with a worried look on her face and a frown on her face.
Fang Yingqiu was a little worried when she heard this, but she remembered what Jiang Xiachu had said, so she let go of her worries and shook her head, saying, "Don't worry, Sister Du, her injury will heal soon, and she should be fine. It won't delay the assessment of the art troupe."
Aunt Du finally felt relieved after hearing this, but she was still a little angry, "That Jiang Hongyan is really crazy. This is the first time I've seen such a person. She doesn't love her own daughter, but only cares about that He guy all day long."
"After all, she is my own flesh and blood. I really don't understand where she got such a cruel heart. She was throwing a tantrum at your door today. I was so angry when I saw her. I wanted to slap them. How can you scold your own daughter like that?"
Aunt Du became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She sighed, "The more I look at this girl Xia Chu, the more I like her. I wish she was my daughter!"
After chatting with Fang Yingqiu for a while, Aunt Du got up and left.
Before leaving, she also asked about many of Jiang Xiachu's favorite foods, and kept thinking about how to make delicious food for her.
This girl Jiang Hongyan doesn't spoil, she is willing to spoil her!

Not long after she returned home, her son also came back from school.
He was carrying a gray cloth schoolbag sewn for him by Aunt Du, which contained several books. After entering the door, he put the schoolbag on a chair, sat on the chair, and poured himself a glass of water.
Aunt Du just came out of the kitchen and saw her son. "Da Zhuang, what do you want to eat tonight? Mom made the braised pork yesterday. Do you want to eat anything else?"
When He Lingxuan heard the name "Da Zhuang", his face suddenly darkened. He looked at her speechlessly and emphasized: "Mom, my name is He Lingxuan, don't call me Da Zhuang!"
Aunt Du smiled and didn't think it was a big deal. "Isn't that the nickname we gave you because you were too fat when you were a kid? I've called you that for so many years, why don't you allow me to call you that anymore?"
He Lingxuan snorted coldly, "Well, I'm not fat now, so why do you keep calling me big and strong? How unpleasant it is!"
He was indeed very fat when he was in elementary school, with flesh all over his body, but since he entered junior high school, he has gradually lost weight, but his height is still increasing.
Now that he is in high school, he has grown to 1.86 meters tall and is the tallest person in the class. Every time when he is arranged to sit, he consciously sits in the last row.
He has grown taller, his face has become more handsome, his skin is a healthy wheat color, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his hair is neat and tidy. He is definitely a sunny boy.
There are many girls in the school who have a crush on her and secretly put fruit candies on his desk.
That's a rare thing. Most people use their sugar coupons to exchange for some white sugar. Who would be willing to exchange them for fruit candy?
Aunt Du smiled and handed him a pancake to fill his stomach. She said, "I just went next door. Your sister Xia Chu is here."
The boy, who was chewing on a pancake with an unhappy look on his face, suddenly brightened his eyes after hearing the words "Sister Xia Chu". "Sister Xia Chu is here!? Is she here to see Sister Qing Li?"
Aunt Du sat down on a chair nearby, shook her head, and nodded, "Yes, and no, she should stay here for a while."
"Your sister Xia Chu broke off the engagement."
"By the way, she has also severed ties with her family and is now staying with your sister Qingli."
"break off an engagement!?"
He Lingxuan only grasped this one word, his face full of surprise, not to mention how happy he was!
In his eyes, no one was worthy of Sister Xia Chu. When he heard that she was going to get married, he felt upset for a long time before forcing himself to accept the news.
At that time, he secretly swore in his heart that if that man treated Sister Xia Chu badly, he would rush directly to his house and give him a severe lesson.
"Yes, the engagement is cancelled. Mom won't talk to you anymore. I have to go pick vegetables." After saying that, Aunt Du stood up and prepared to go out.
She had just taken two steps when she suddenly remembered something, turned her head to look at He Lingxuan, and said, "Da Zhuang, remember to do your homework!"
He Lingxuan was just immersed in joy, but when he heard this word, he immediately lost his temper and rushed to Aunt Du, emphasizing: "Don't call me Da Zhuang, I'm not the little fat boy anymore!"
Aunt Du, who was walking towards the kitchen, paused and turned to look at her son who was filled with indignation: "..."
