Chapter 144 Meeting an Enemy
Mother Qi entered the kitchen and was surprised to see Mother Qin busy making breakfast.
She heard some noise in the kitchen just now and guessed that it was Qin's mother in there, but she thought she was pouring hot water, not expecting that she was making breakfast.
"Oh, your mother, how can I let you cook breakfast like this..." Mother Qi quickly rolled up her sleeves and ran to the stove in a hurry, only to find that Mother Qin had put a pot of large white flour steamed buns in the pot.
She clearly remembered that her family had finished eating the steamed buns last night, and she planned to make fried pancakes this morning.
Qi Zheng loved the fried pancakes she made the most, so he made some extra for Qi Zheng to take with him on the road.
However, seeing the empty white cloth bag on the stove, Qi's mother understood that her daughter had taken out the white flour buns she had brought with her.
And those eggs, I guess they were also taken out by her.
Qi Zhengke said that Lingnian's wife was pregnant, and Lingnian's mother was probably saving some eggs to bring over to nourish her daughter-in-law.
This elder sister is so polite that she even brings her own food when living in someone else's house.
Alas, we, the hosts, have benefited from the guests.
Qi's mother also came from a poor family. Even though Qi's father is now the political commissar of the division headquarters of the Heyuan Province General Military Region, and she herself still works at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau as a director, she never looks down on others and is very easy-going.
What's more, Qin Lingnian had saved ๋'er๋'s life, and for that he was shot and nearly lost his life.
Not to mention that there was no such favor, even if he was just an ordinary comrade-in-arms, it would be nothing to stay at her house for a night. After all, he was a comrade-in-arms who had a life-and-death friendship with Qi Zheng.
Mother Qi urged Mother Qin to put the steamed buns and eggs back, but Mother Qin refused to do so, and the two of them argued in the kitchen.
Finally, Qi Zheng, who was used to getting up early, came over to act as the referee: "Mom, we can eat the steamed buns from Aunt's house in the morning, and you can take the fried pancakes with you to eat on the road."
Mother Qin nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, listen to Comrade Xiao Qi."
Qi's mother shook her head and rolled her eyes in reproach, "You little boy, why are you so rude..."
Qi Zheng smiled, said nothing more, turned around to leave, but as soon as he turned around, Qin Mingyue's forehead hit his chest.
"Ah..." Qin Mingyue cried out softly and took several steps back. Fortunately, she bumped into the dining table and did not fall.
However, her waist was hit hard, and the pain made her cry.
"Hey...bang bang..."
Just when Qi's mother was about to scold Qi Zheng, there was a knock on the door.
Mother Qi gave Qi Zheng a look, indicating that he should quickly help Qin Mingyue, then turned around to open the door.
Qin's mother also hurried out and saw that Qin Mingyue's face was wrinkled like a walnut, her forehead was red and had a big bump. Her right hand was weakly supporting her waist, and her clear big eyes were filled with tears.
Even if Mother Qin loved her daughter very much, she couldn't show it at this time, for fear that Qi Zheng would blame himself.
Mother Qi opened the door and saw that the person coming was the guard at the sentry box at the gate. She asked first, "Xiao Zhang, what's the matter?"
"Director Ye, there is a comrade named Jiang Hong who says he is your friend and wants to come visit you?"
Mother Qi was shocked for a moment, "Let her in."
In the house.
Qi Zheng did not have the chance to help Qin Mingyue. He just looked at the little girl helplessly. Her eyes were red and her long eyelashes were covered with tear bubbles that were about to fall. He felt pain and self-blame at the same time.
"I'm sorry, Sister Mingyue..."
Before Qin Mingyue could say anything, her mother waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Girls are more delicate..." While saying this, her mother desperately winked at Qin Mingyue, signaling her to control her emotions and not act so upset and want to cry.
Qin Mingyue received a hint from her mother, and she forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "It's okay... It doesn't hurt anymore... Hiss... Ouch..."
She said it didn't hurt, but her body's reaction was very real and she couldn't help but gasp.
This look is both pitiful and cute.
As Qi Zheng was watching, a sentence suddenly popped up in his mind: Qin Lingnian is so lucky. Not only did he marry a beautiful and charming wife, but he also has such a delicate and lovely sister.
What a blessing!
God knows, our Qi family has everything except girls.
My father's generation had three brothers, and they all had the same naughty little kids. In this generation, there are eight cousins, four of whom are married, and all of them have children who are all bratty little boys...
Just when Qi Zheng was distracted, Qi's mother came back and saw Qi Zheng looking at Qin Mingyue like a stupid goose, shaking her head and sighing.
"Qi Zheng, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Go to the room and get the medicinal wine."
"Oh..." Qi Zheng reacted and rushed towards Lou Xiao.
Mother Qi wanted to come over to comfort Qin Mingyue, but unexpectedly a warm voice came from outside: "Sister Lanzhi..."
As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Hong ran over through the entrance, followed closely by her daughter Zhou Sisi.
"You two, why are you here?!" Before Qi's mother could say anything, Jiang Hong had already discovered Qin's mother and Qin Mingyue. The smile on her face that was as gentle as spring breeze and contained a hint of flattery suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by disgust and contempt.
Qi's mother had witnessed her ability to change her expression in a second countless times and didn't find it strange.
However, it was somewhat strange that she knew Qin's mother and daughter.
Mother Qin and Qin Mingyue were also quite surprised that they met their enemy Jiang Hong here. However, they were just surprised and not as excited as Jiang Hong, whose faces were full of disgust and hostility.
"These two are the mother and sister of Qi Zheng's comrade." Qi's mother briefly introduced them and then changed the subject, "Jiang Hong, why are you two here so early?!"
Mother Qi thought for a moment and now roughly guessed how Jiang Hong knew Qin's mother and daughter.
Last year, the Sun Lingzhi incident that caused a sensation in Heyuan Province was caused by Qin Lingnian's wife Yun Angge asking Zhou Yunhai for help, and then Zhou Yunhai asked Uncle Qi Zheng for help.
Her family's Lao Qi also helped secretly in this matter, so she knew something about it.
However, she couldn't understand why Jiang Hong had such great disgust and hostility towards Qin's mother and daughter.
Although Zhou Yunhai's involvement in this matter was extremely risky at the time, in the end, not only was he not implicated, but he was also dismissed from his post because of this matter and was promoted by the provincial party committee to be the county magistrate of Pingyi County.
In this way, Yun Ange can be regarded as a benefactor in Zhou Yunhai's career.
No matter what, Jiang Hong shouldn't have this attitude...
Jiang Hong realized that her reaction just now was too intense, and she tried her best to control her emotions. She returned to the way she was when she first entered the room, smiling warmly and flatteringly.
"It was not yesterday when Xiaozheng went home, and it happened that both Wang and Lao Zhou were not at home. The child ran all the way to see the two of them, but in the end he didn't even drink a sip of water. Wang felt so bad... It just so happened that Wang was not feeling well, and Sisi was in pain. It happened that she received her salary yesterday, so she called home and urged Wang to come to the provincial capital for a physical examination, so she took this opportunity to come and see Xiaozheng..."
