Chapter 170 Don’t judge a person by his appearance
The sisters-in-law surrounded Jiang Rou, talking to each other.
The scene instantly became lively.
Even Song Qingqian, Zhou Xiaohua and Zhou Xiaochuan were surrounded in the middle.
The three of them were stunned.
They have never been surrounded like this before.
Zhou Xiaohua held a big rice ball in her hand, her little mouth opened in shock, and she even forgot to eat.
Zhou Xiaochuan reached out and pushed Zhou Xiaohua's chin upwards, "closing" her little mouth.
Zhou Xiaohua’s inner thoughts: The aunts are so scary, they look like they want to eat her.
"Alright, alright, all of you go sit back and eat your steamed buns. Let me have a good talk with Sister Rou. You guys will definitely get some good stuff."
With Zhao Guifen taking charge, the crowd finally dispersed.
Otherwise, in this weather, it would be quite hot with a group of people gathered together.
Jiang Rou also felt a little relieved because of the enthusiasm of her sisters-in-law.
She promised.
"Sister Guifen, don't worry, I will definitely make more. Then not only adults can use it, but children can use it too. I can also give some to the children in school."
"You've thought it through. This is for the best."
Zhao Guifen nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
While she was talking to Jiang Rou, she glanced at Song Qingqian out of the corner of her eye.
“Ahem.”
After coughing a few times.
Zhao Guifen finally spoke up, "Sister Qingqian, is there anything your family needs? Feel free to tell me."
The word "sister" clearly shows Song Qingqian's status in Zhao Guifen's heart.
Song Qingqian originally thought that it had nothing to do with her, but how come the topic suddenly changed and fell on her?
She was stunned, her bright eyes wide open, looking at Zhao Guifen in confusion.
Zhao Guifen was a loud and direct person. Seeing that Song Qingqian didn't understand, he just went straight to the point.
"I heard from Sister Rou that you have a sewing machine at home. I don't know how to use it. Can you teach me? I won't learn it in vain. Just tell me if you need anything."
Song Qingqian now knew why.
Her eyes moved slowly.
This moment.
Zhao Guifen was nervous, afraid that Song Qingqian would not agree.
Jiang Rou watched quietly. It had come to this point and she couldn't make any decision for Song Qingqian.
Song Qingqian was not hesitant, but she was just a slow-tempered person. After all, her former wealthy life was always leisurely.
She just remained silent.
You can hear the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Under everyone's expectations, Song Qingqian finally spoke.
"I heard from Arou that Sister Guifen's pickled cabbage pork and vermicelli stew is the best. I want to try it."
"No problem! It's just pickled pork and vermicelli stew! I'm the best at it! Then we have a deal. I'll send you a big pot of it someday, and you'll teach me how to use the sewing machine."
"good."
Seeing Song Qingqian nod, Zhao Guifen left with satisfaction.
As soon as Zhao Guifen sat down not far away, several sisters-in-law immediately surrounded her.
"How is it? How is it? Did she agree?"
"That's right. Did you tell me about the sewing machine? What was the result?"
"Is she willing to teach us? Does she still look down on us?"
Zhao Guifen raised his head triumphantly and said proudly.
"What's she, she, she's Qingqian! Did you hear that? From now on, she's my sister, Zhao Guifen! It's a deal. I'll have a pot of pickled cabbage and pork stewed with vermicelli, and she'll teach me how to use a sewing machine."
"Really? That's a lot cheaper than twenty bucks."
"She... Miss Qingqian is really that easy to talk to. Why didn't I see it before?"
Zhao Guifen retorted, "Have you ever talked to her before? A long time ago. I think Sister Hong is right. When Qingqian first came, Sister Hong told us that people can’t… people can’t… people can’t… what was it?"
“Don’t judge by appearance.”
"That's right, you can't judge a person by their appearance. I think Qingqian is a down-to-earth person. We misunderstood each other before."
"Captain He is such a smart man, how could he have chosen the wrong wife?"
"Thinking about what Captain He has done for the barracks, we should also be nicer to Miss Qingqian."
…
The breeze gently brought the conversation not far away to the ears of Jiang Rou and Song Qingqian.
With the power of a gust of wind, something is changing silently.
At this moment.
Jiang Rou's wrist was pushed.
When she lowered her head, she saw a dirty little face and a pair of dirty little hands.
Zhou Xiaohua's fair and delicate skin was covered in red and purple colors.
[It’s dirty! Ugh! It’s dirty! Mom, it’s all dirty! Ugh!]
Zhou Xiaohua looked anxious, with panic in her round eyes.
Jiang Rou has recently developed some cleanliness habits in the little cat, and when it sees dirty hands, it wants to wash its hands.
But it can't be wiped off, it can't be wiped off at all.
Zhou Xiaohua grabbed the handkerchief and wiped her fingers vigorously, but they were still purple.
“Hahahaha, hahaha…”
Jiang Rou couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Little glutton, I told you not to steal mulberries, and now you can't wash them clean."
While the sisters-in-law were talking just now, Zhou Xiaohua set her eyes on the mulberries that Jiang Rou had picked and ate a few of them secretly.
The little girl couldn't control the strength of her fingers well. It was also the first time she saw such small fruits as mulberries. She crushed a few of them in her hands and her mouth was dirty from eating them.
"Don't wipe it off. This color won't be wiped off in a short time."
【Woo, woo, woo! 】
Zhou Xiaohua felt even more sad after hearing Jiang Rou say this. She pursed her lips and then -
Awooo!
I took another bite of the rice ball.
Rice balls are still the best, they won’t dirty your hands and they taste good.
…
Hidden in the shade of a tree till midday.
Later in the afternoon, the sisters-in-law dispersed again, some picking wild fruits and some picking wild flowers.
Some people even took off their shoes and went directly into the stream to catch small fish and shrimps.
Although the stream is small, the ecosystem on this island is particularly outstanding and has rich biodiversity.
There are quite a lot of small fish and shrimps in the stream, and you can even find small crabs if you turn over the rocks.
Jiang Rou did not go down to the stream to catch crabs. Instead, she asked her sisters-in-law who were catching fish for a few fish, saying that they were for the children to play with.
In fact, it was quietly placed into the Lingbao space.
In Lingbao space.
The water of Lingquan Creek flows slowly, the water is clear and endless.
Jiang Rou put a few small fish, shrimps and crabs in it.
Looking at these little guys, they disappeared in a flash.
Some of them flowed away with the water, while others quickly hid among the small stones and found a comfortable nest.
At first glance, it looks very chic and comfortable.
"Little thing, you have to grow up quickly~"
Jiang Rou couldn't help but look forward to the days when these small fish and shrimps grow up and she can eat the fresh fish and shrimp meat.
Steamed sea bass.
Corn shrimp pancakes.
Fried big crab.
Just thinking about it makes people drool.
When Jiang Rou came out of Lingbao Space again, it was time to go down the mountain and go home.
The group of people returned with a full load.
Especially Song Qingqian.
The bamboo basket she had received was given to her by Jiang Rou. It was a small one, not very big.
The bamboo basket was filled with green onions and water celery.
Later, Song Qingqian picked a lot of wild fruits, as well as some wild vegetables recommended by other sisters-in-law. All together, it was a huge pile.
There was no way it could fit in the bamboo basket, so I ended up wrapping it in clothes and covering it with a sun hat, and only then was I able to fit it in.
The setting sun in the evening dyed half of the sky red.
On top of the vast and magnificent scenery, a bold and colorful touch is added.
Jiang Rou and Song Qingqian were walking on the mountain road with flushed faces and sweaty hair.
The sunlight stretched their shadows very long.
The journey down the mountain was originally a happy one, but halfway down the mountain, something strange happened.
From a distance, Jiang Rou saw several rows of soldiers, lined up in neat rows, marching forward in a hurry.
It seems like something big has happened.
