Chapter 254: Really Skillful - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
The news Lin Qing received at noon was so explosive that she couldn't concentrate on her work that afternoon.
It took Sister Tang beside him several reminders before Lin Qing was able to get himself together and focus on his work.
Today, Lin Qing returned to the compound alone again. After a day off, Cen Xi had to get back to his busy research.
As a result, Lin Qing had no one to tell about his shock.
Lin Qing wanted to return to the compound as soon as possible to ask Aunt Li and others in the compound for some news.
As soon as I stepped into the yard, I felt something was wrong.
Lin Qing slowed down.
The rooms on both sides are too quiet. Although the children in the yard have already started school and may not come back yet, the aunts in the yard are not the kind of people who will stay quietly in the room!
What’s more, the strangest thing is that the doors of the east and west rooms were tightly closed, but the two rooms next to their main house were open.
Is it possible that someone from the Zhou family got off work so early today?
Lin Qing slowed down his pace and observed, secretly glancing towards the main room. Wait, who is this big sister?
Lin Qing brushed her hair. She had never seen this lady before. Could she be a thief?
But it doesn't look like that! The older sister looked over, but she wasn't scared at all?
That shouldn't be the case.
so……
Her identity seemed to be about to be revealed.
Lin Qing's pupils dilated slightly, and his heart was filled with shock. Uncle Zhou was truly amazing. He had just met him yesterday, and today he had become his master.
The backyard was a bit quiet, and she suddenly felt a little regretful that she had come back a little too early.
Lin Qing walked forward in a daze, and the older sister came out.
The older sister took the initiative to greet them, "Hello! My name is Bai Fengxia, and I'm Lao Zhou's wife now. You live next door to us, right?"
Lin Qing nodded awkwardly, "Yes!"
"It's really you, you're so pretty! Yesterday I heard from our old Zhou that you and your husband went back to your parents' home, so we didn't have time to get to know each other. Let's get to know each other formally today!"
"Okay!" Lin Qing suddenly realized that she had been a little rude just now, and quickly introduced herself, "Hello! I'm Lin Qing, who lives next door to you, from Shuangmu Lin, Qing in Qingshui."
"Hello! Hello!"
Lin Qing felt that this elder sister Bai Fengxia was very enthusiastic and she looked to be in her thirties or early forties.
Should I call her Big Sister? Or Big Aunt? Or Big Mom?
Lin Qing suddenly felt conflicted for a moment.
Oh, that's not right! Uncle Zhou and Master Jiang are of the same generation, so how can he be the uncle?
Lin Qing reflected on himself.
This Bai Fengxia, let's call her the big sister for now, is really warm-hearted. Even when Lin Qing was silent and didn't know what to say, she didn't let the relationship between the two of them cool down.
"Lin Qing, did you just get off work?"
"Yes, I just got off work and am about to come back to clean up. No one has lived here for the past one or two days."
"So, do you need my help?"
"No, no. It's not much work. I can do it myself."
"Ah, so that's it!"
"Well, I'll go back and clean up first, you go ahead and do your work!" Lin Qing just wanted to finish the topic as soon as possible. They had just met, so she didn't have much to talk about.
Bai Fengxia may have noticed this, so even though the topic ended a bit awkwardly, she did not stop it.
"Huh!" Lin Qing quickly walked to the door of his house, opened it and went in, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
Bai Fengxia looked at Lin Qing's door for a while, and then went back home.
Lin Qing stayed in the room for a long time. She really, really admired Uncle Zhou. No, from now on she had to change the way she addressed him. She should call him Grandpa Zhou.
She thought about it and thought that it might be because Uncle Zhou, oh no, Grandpa Zhou, didn’t have a partner before and might look younger, so he was called Uncle Zhou. But now that he has a wife, he should be treated the same as other grandfathers and called them Grandpa.
Grandpa Zhou was so quick. We just met yesterday and he carried the child home today. It should not be said that he carried the child home on the same day.
Sister Bai Fengxia looked so relaxed and at ease at Zhou's house, it was obvious that she had not just arrived today.
That’s not right. They have three days of wedding leave for newlyweds, Uncle Zhou, no, Grandpa Zhou, don’t second marriages have leave?
Or did you say that you didn't have time to invite him?
After all, the marriage was rushed and perhaps the leader was not informed. Uh... this is quite possible.
Lin Qing was thinking wildly in her mind. She urgently needed someone to tell her the gossip that happened yesterday and today.
Aunt Li, Aunt Li, where are you? Do you hear my inner voice calling out?
I need you so much now!
Perhaps he really heard the call from her heart! The aunts in the yard came back in groups of three or four, bringing their grandchildren with them.
So these moms are not at home because they are out picking up their kids?
When did they become so proactive?
Lin Qing seemed to remember that it was not like this before, so why was it so special today?
This made her a little uneasy!
Lin Qing stood by the window and watched. Aunt Su had gone to pick up the children, so why did she feel even more uneasy? Su Dazhuang was already ten years old. He used to take his brother to and from school by himself, and he didn't need anyone to pick him up. Why was he acting so strange today?
Lin Qing suddenly felt a little creepy and scared himself.
When Aunt Li brought her grandchildren in, Lin Qing looked at her with shining eyes. Aunt Li immediately noticed Lin Qing's burning gaze and was stunned for a moment.
But he soon understood her meaning, "You guys go home first, I'll go look for your Aunt Cen."
"good!"
After Aunt Li let go, the children quickly ran away.
Aunt Li walked to the Cen family.
"Mom, mom, please sit down, please sit down!" Lin Qing greeted her enthusiastically.
Aunt Li knew that Lin Qing must have come to inquire from her for information, so she didn't hesitate and sat down directly.
"Come and drink the sugar water." Lin Qingxun went over and helped to make the sugar water.
Aunt Li took a sip of the drink, put it down, smacked her lips, and said, "Anything you want to ask? Ask!"
"What's happening next door." Lin Qing pointed next door.
"I knew you were going to ask that."
"Hehe! Speak quickly, speak quickly." Lin Qing couldn't wait any longer.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you now." Aunt Li took another sip, coughed twice, and officially began to speak: "This matter should start from yesterday..."
