Chapter 40 Can't afford to offend the auntie who likes to watch kids do math problems? ...
Everyone in the residential compound knew that Li Jianzhi's wife in Shanghai had sent him a telegram demanding a divorce. Taking advantage of this business trip, Comrade Li went home for a visit, and everyone secretly wondered: would they get a divorce or what?
After some time, the family arrived with the army, and the group of gossipy women exchanged knowing smiles.
"Comrade Li has some tricks up his sleeve. He managed to lure all these girls from Shanghai here."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Comrade Xiao Li is so good-looking. What woman doesn't love a handsome face?"
"I wonder what kind of personality this family member has? Don't let them have a small argument every three days and a big argument every five days. There was one family before, oh my, my ears really couldn't stand it."
"They're from big cities, like those educated youth sent to the countryside. I hope they won't cry on their first day here."
...
Sister Gao guessed that the family would cry. Even a girl from Mingzhou might not be able to bear it. A girl from Shanghai, who was living a good life in the city, came to this island to suffer. She was such a devoted person.
We should take good care of such a devoted person.
"...Who are you?" Qin Xiangxiang caught sight of Sister Gao peeking in through the door and immediately recognized her as Director Gao. In her dream, she was still young and thought Sister Gao was a gossipy woman who had come to see her make a fool of herself.
But life is like a play.
As a qualified "top-notch" person, Qin Xiangxiang had to admit that she also enjoyed gloating and watching the fun. If another city girl who couldn't stand the environment came to this family compound, she would at least bring a stool to watch the fun.
There's nothing we can do about it; that's just how these extreme drama queens are.
This time, Qin Xiangxiang decided to befriend Sister Gao, the head of the intelligence department. Sister Gao was an expert at getting information, and Qin Xiangxiang would rely on her for all the gossip and entertainment in the future.
"My surname is Gao, Gao Yufen, you can call me Sister Gao. I work at the Men's Hospital. Hello, Comrade Qin, you're Comrade Li's family member, right? You're moving in?"
"Hello, Sister Gao, my name is Qin Xiangxiang." Qin Xiangxiang stepped forward and shook hands with her. "Sister, you look so kind, it makes me so happy to see you! Come visit us more often in the future."
Sister Gao: "???"
Li Jianzhi: "..." The woman in front of him, a tall woman, had high cheekbones, a square face, and droopy eyes. He couldn't tell what was kind about her, and her voice was raised, so she wasn't someone easy to get along with.
Is his wife perhaps misjudging people? Or is she trying to integrate into the family group for her own benefit?
"Okay, sure." Sister Gao was taken aback by the other party's enthusiasm. Apart from those from the countryside, this was the first time she had ever been so enthusiastic. No, even those from the countryside were not as enthusiastic as Comrade Qin in front of her.
Li Jianzhi said politely, "I'll have to trouble you to take care of my little Qin from now on."
"Okay, okay."
Qin Xiangxiang said, "Sister Gao, I just arrived and don't know anyone in the courtyard. Could you please introduce me to people later?"
"become."
...
Looking at the beautiful, smiling female relative in front of her, Gao Yufen inexplicably felt as if she had been tricked. Her happiness was frightening. This girl from the city was not only not crying, but also smiling so brightly.
Sister Gao suddenly shivered.
Seeing Qin Xiangxiang and Sister Gao chatting so well, Li Jianzhi's passion for Chinese literature, influenced by his father, suddenly revived. Many essays flooded his mind. Even though he showed no expression, he was deeply moved, and his heart, which was beating on the left side, became extremely tender.
Faced with such a harsh environment, his wife was still able to find joy amidst the hardship, which must mean she didn't want to embarrass him.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
"Think about it, you're so wonderful, you're the best wife in the world."
"With Sister Gao as my witness, I swear, I will definitely treat you well! I will never let you down."
Qin Xiangxiang: "...?" What kind of madness has this man suddenly gone mad about?
Li Jianzhi stepped forward and put his arm around Qin Xiangxiang's shoulder. Qin Xiangxiang tried to pry his hand away, but the man insisted on holding her shoulder. Qin Xiangxiang gave up resisting and focused on winning over the head of the intelligence department in front of her. "Sister Gao, you must come and visit more often when you have time. Let's have a good chat. I feel like you must know a lot. My mother told me that someone with your face looks very knowledgeable. She said that when I go out into the world, I must learn from people like you."
Sister Gao felt her bones tingle from her words. For such a beautiful woman to praise her like that, she was truly a kind and understanding woman.
"Oh, not at all. I'm just an ordinary person with a warm heart. I'm not really studying."
"Little Qin, I will definitely take good care of you in the future."
Sister Gao was so flattered that she was completely bewildered. After she staggered out the door and thought about it again, she still couldn't figure out what kind of person this new family member was.
Information about the new family member, Qin Xiangxiang: A girl from Shanghai, beautiful, virtuous, and sweet-talking...
Once the house was decided, they moved their things in. The house had some simple furniture and two beds. There wasn't time to make new beds, so Li Jianzhi said to make do with what they had and that they would make new beds later.
Other items were delivered one after another. A piano and a sewing machine were placed in the room. Li Jianzhi bought two honeycomb briquette stoves, one large and one small, and ordered a batch of honeycomb briquettes to be delivered upstairs.
As the room gradually filled up, Qin Xiangxiang made the bed and looked at the large, bright window of the master bedroom, feeling great.
Starting today, I'll comfortably begin my laid-back life, staying home alone and doing whatever I want.
"Think about it, why were you so enthusiastic towards Sister Gao just now?" Li Jianzhi couldn't help but ask again, "Was it because of me? I know you were wronged."
Qin Xiangxiang said, "That Sister Gao is obviously the most well-informed person in the neighborhood, with the widest network of information."
Li Jianzhi: "This is a megaphone. Are you worried she'll say bad things about you? That it will give you a bad first impression."
"If you become good friends with her, you'll have plenty of...unending little secrets to hear in the future."
Li Jianzhi said in a serious tone, "Those gossip stories are just rumors spread by three people."
"Then I'll listen by myself, you don't have to listen."
Li Jianzhi said with righteous indignation, "Tell me when the time comes, and I'll verify whether it's true or false for you."
"I support you in befriending this Sister Gao."
The four-year-old chubby boy stayed in the new house, crawling from one room to another. Even though he was a child, he liked the bigger house, and the separate toilet was much cleaner. There was also a kitchen in the house!
He was excited to be in the new place. He also saw many children in the yard, ranging from four or five years old to fifteen or sixteen years old, with a dozen or so children playing together. He wanted to join the group of children.
"Mom, will we be living here from now on?"
"This is our new home."
Groups of children came up to watch the excitement downstairs. New family members had moved in, and every time they came, they got candy. They all came to ask for candy, and Qin Xiangxiang distributed some fruit candies to them.
Among them was a seven or eight-year-old monkey child, whom I had seen earlier in the sand. Now his trouser legs were covered in sand, and he was dropping sand as he walked, which made people frown.
She even dreamt about it; she complained that the children were sloppy and unhygienic, making the house so dirty with sand all over the floor.
This time, she still showed her disdain.
"Little friend, you're covered in sand, you're so dirty. Don't make my house dirty. Go stand outside. Next time you visit someone's house, make sure you're clean and take care of your personal hygiene."
Qin Xiangxiang: "?" These weren't her words; she hadn't even opened her mouth yet.
The little boy was a bit annoyed, but he still walked to the door and scratched at the door frame with his muddy fingers. "Uncle and Auntie, your house is so beautiful! Can I come to your house to play often?"
Li Jianzhi thought to himself: Get lost, Uncle hates dirty kids who have no self-awareness.
"Auntie especially welcomes children to our house to play." Qin Xiangxiang said with a smile. "Auntie loves watching children do math problems. Uncle and Auntie brought more than a dozen math problems this time. Come to Auntie's house to do problems whenever you have time."
"My little chubby boy could recite the multiplication tables by heart when he was four years old. Should we all recite them now?"
The chubby boy said proudly, "I can recite it! Can you recite it?"
"My dad loves teaching people how to do math!" Although doing math problems is painful, he can show off in front of his friends, and it would be even better if more kids could do it with him.
The children: "?!"
An aunt who enjoys watching children do math problems?
A dad who enjoys teaching people math?
We can't afford to mess with them.
After the children left, Li Jianzhi whispered to Qin Xiangxiang, "I can't stand these dirty kids. They made the floor by the door dirty. I'll wipe it clean. From now on, when you're home alone, try not to open the door too often."
"Visit other people's homes more often, and visit our own less often. It's too much trouble to clean up after us. I'll go get some more 75% alcohol; we can spray it wherever we need to disinfect." After that, Li Jianzhi got used to disinfecting. They often used disinfectant when washing clothes, and when they received packages, they would spray them with alcohol or hypochlorous acid disinfectant before taking them to their dorm, even if it was just for psychological reasons. They figured it was always good to disinfect.
Qin Xiangxiang: "???"
"However, we need to be careful about fire prevention."
"From now on, we won't let any outsiders into our bedroom. Our son's room is up to him; he needs to learn to take care of the cleanliness of his own room from a young age."
Qin Xiangxiang thought this guy was being a bit too dramatic.
"Oh, right, honey, about that guy surnamed Chen you met before, Chen Ruifeng, he asked you to introduce him to someone. Don't take it too seriously. This guy doesn't seem like a good person when it comes to choosing a partner. He's probably just after the woman's conditions and wants to find someone with a city household registration."
Qin Xiangxiang: "!"
You're such a disgusting person, criticizing the male lead as a bad person? ???
