Chapter 138 Cooking Skills 'OK'
In a blink of an eye, they saw Xu Qingmeng and others.
Jiang Mingyu obviously felt a little uncomfortable, but since Gu Yunyi and the others greeted him first, he quickly started a conversation with them.
When Sun Jingyi saw Xu Qingmeng, her eyes lit up and she quickly came over.
Said: "Sister-in-law, we were just about to look for you, but we didn't know where you settled, and we didn't expect to meet you here."
Xu Qingmeng asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What's the matter that makes you so anxious?"
Sun Jingyi only cared about her own things, not paying any attention to Jiang Mingyu's glances at her, and directly said, "Sister-in-law, where are you renting now? Are you still renting the same three rooms as before?"
Xu Qingmeng paused, looked in the direction of Gu Yunyi again, and then nodded: "I'm renting the first yard I saw before, but..."
"That's good, that's good."
Sun Jingyi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Xu Qingmeng's answer. She hurried forward to hug her arm and said, "Sister-in-law, can you please give us the room you use as a study? We definitely won't take advantage of you. We will pay whatever money we deserve."
Xu Qingmeng was not used to being so close to anyone except He and Xinting, and then she exerted a little force and pulled her arm out.
When Gu Yunyi and the others heard this, they frowned slightly and didn't know how to start for a moment.
However, before anyone could say anything, Hui Niang said, "Meng Niang, isn't the courtyard you live in allocated to you by the head of my family? Isn't it just three rooms? Where is the study? Why don't I seem to see it?"
Sun Jingyi was stunned.
It's not that she didn't see Hui Niang just now, but the joy she felt when she saw Xu Qingmeng just now made her not think about it in this way.
When I heard her speak, my heart skipped a beat, and then I felt a little at a loss.
Xu Qingmeng looked at her apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law. When we went there, Hui Niang and her family had already rented it, and we just bought it from them."
Zhou Yuanjia looked regretful: "Ah, this is really unfortunate. We arrived a step late. Otherwise, we could have rented it before Brother Fang and maybe we could have spared a room for you guys."
Jiang Mingyu was embarrassed, pulled the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "My wife is joking. We have already paid the money for our yard and moved in. She just can't bear to leave the sister-in-law of the Gu family."
Xu Qingmeng said, "After all, our two families are not very far away. If you have nothing to do, you can come to our yard and we can talk together."
"That's right, I love the hustle and bustle the most, otherwise we wouldn't have this fate. May I know what is your name, Madam?" Hui Niang was very enthusiastic and started chatting with Sun Jingyi.
Sun Jingyi felt very uncomfortable, but after all, it was her own fault and it happened in front of everyone, so she couldn't turn hostile. She could only curl the corners of her mouth and chat with Hui Niang in a few words.
Gu Yunyi and others also began to introduce Fang Ziheng to Jiang Mingyu.
Jiang Mingyu is more open-minded than his wife, and he knows that it is his wife's fault, otherwise he would not let Gu Yunyi and the other man use other people's yard.
I soon figured it out and started chatting with a few people.
Jiang Mingyu and his wife also came to buy things, and they didn't talk for long before they parted ways.
Before leaving, Gu Yunyi and others talked about having dinner together in a while and asked him if he wanted to join them. Jiang Mingyu agreed without much thought.
After the two parties separated, Sun Jingyi couldn't help but blame him: "Why did you agree? Why did you go to their house to eat? Are you going to let them laugh at you?"
Jiang Mingyu frowned, "What a joke! Brother Gu and the others are not that kind of people. Besides, if you hadn't stopped me today, I wouldn't have lost face in front of others. How could it have turned out like this? Madam, you are not usually like this. What happened today?"
Sun Jingyi lowered her head, feeling a little guilty, but she also knew that the head of the family had given her enough face in public.
Sun Jingyi was born in a small farming family, not as good as the Jiang family, who had a business in the county town. The matchmaker was a distant relative of hers, otherwise it would not have been her turn.
She had been told long ago that Jiang Mingyu had a bright future, and that she must be more generous and not behave like a country bumpkin. If she didn't change, she would not be able to stay in the family for long.
During the time since her marriage, her mother-in-law had been by her side giving instructions, and she was also very cautious. She had never handled so much money at once, so naturally, she didn't notice it.
But once he went out, with so much money in his hands and no one to supervise him, his true nature was immediately exposed.
Seeing her lowering her head, Jiang Mingyu thought she was being wronged. After all, they were newly married and had feelings for each other, so he couldn't bear to say anything more.
Then he softened his heart: "Forget it, you are still young and have never been far away. This is your first time in this city. Maybe you are not used to it yet. I will talk to you slowly in the future."
"Well, thank you, sir."
Jiang Mingyu smiled and said, "We are husband and wife, there is no need to thank you."
After all, they were newlyweds, and their love was strong. They reconciled quickly, and Xu Qingmeng and the others also started cooking.
Hui Niang said that her cooking skills were okay, but she could only make some home-cooked meals. Plus, she was already grateful for renting the house, so as soon as she got home, she started washing and scrubbing, and it seemed that she was planning to prepare a table of dishes.
Hui Niang's knife skills are really amazing. She can chop potatoes, radishes, cucumbers into cubes, slices and shreds very smoothly, with quite the demeanor of a great chef.
So Xu Qingmeng did not take action and just helped her from the side.
Who would have thought that Hui Niang's first dish of stir-fried cabbage would be burnt.
Xu Qingmeng stood in front of the stove, looking at the cabbage in the pot, and was silent for a moment.
Is this cooking skill okay?
"It's over, it's over. This can't be eaten. I'll try again. It will definitely work." Hui Niang took out the cabbage from the pot with a sad face.
Xu Qingmeng looked at the cabbage on the sticky board and suddenly understood why she had prepared so many ingredients.
She looked up at the sky outside.
There was enough food for her to enjoy, but the weather was obviously too dark to wait.
"I'll do it."
"You...your cooking skills should be okay, right?" Hui Niang looked at Xu Qingmeng hesitantly.
It's not that she looked down on him, but in her impression, those who would do that were all big and strong with bad skin. In short, they had nothing to do with Xu Qingmeng's image.
Xu Qingmeng has fair skin, beautiful looks, and a gentle and delicate temperament. At first glance, she looks like a delicate flower.
