Chapter 120 Stealing
Su Ningning put her ear against the door to listen, and she heard some noise outside and someone breathing.
Then, a familiar voice came: "Daughter-in-law! It's mom! Are you home? Open the door for mom!"
It turned out to be her mother-in-law Zhang Meiqin! Su Ningning quickly opened the door and saw Zhang Meiqin carrying a lot of bags, sweating profusely, her hair stuck to her face, and she looked like she was about to collapse from exhaustion!
Zhang Meiqin was so open and alone in the countryside, but now she seemed a little guilty: "Daughter-in-law, Qingshan called home last night and said he was going to Inner Mongolia. I hurriedly packed my things and came here early in the morning. I can't let you stay here alone when Qingshan is not at home. You are pregnant! From today on, mom will take care of you here!"
Su Ningning actually felt that she didn’t really need to be taken care of, but having her mother-in-law here was definitely better than her being alone.
"Mom, thank you!" Su Ningning was very grateful and quickly poured water for Zhang Meiqi.
Zhang Meiqin was really diligent and meticulous. She didn't even sit down when she entered the house. She drank a large glass of water and started to pack up, putting away the meat, vegetables and other things she brought from home, and made a snack for Su Ningning in the afternoon.
"Yesterday I specifically asked Erpang's mother from our village how people in the city take care of their pregnancies, so we did the same. Erpang's family has relatives from the city, and Erpang's mother told me that people in the city pay attention to a scientific diet with a combination of meat and vegetables. In a day, there are not only three meals a day, but also fruits, milk and afternoon tea! I asked what afternoon tea is, and people told me that it is snacks and milk or coffee, sweet soup or something like that, but you can't drink coffee when you are pregnant, so mom will make you sweet soup, and this mung bean cake, why don't you try it?"
Su Ningning doesn’t have a big appetite and has never had afternoon tea, but if she doesn’t eat the food her mother-in-law made, it would be a waste of the old lady’s kindness, so she could only try it.
But this taste did whet my appetite. The fruit sweet soup made by Zhang Meiqin was delicious. It was made with canned yellow peaches, glutinous rice flour and glutinous rice balls. It was sweet and sour and appetizing. The mung bean cake was made from homemade mung bean paste, and the filling was sweet and not greasy. Su Ningning ate two in one breath and couldn't help praising Meiqin for her good cooking skills!
Seeing that she was enjoying the meal, Zhang Meiqin smiled and wanted to pull the sheets on the bed to wash them. Su Ningning didn't let her wash them, but she couldn't persuade her no matter what.
But when Zhang Meiqi asked where the sheets were hung out to dry, and found out that they were on the roof or in the yard downstairs, she couldn't help feeling a little scared.
"This is my first time living in the city. I don't know if the people here are easy to get along with. Ningning, is there anything I should be careful about?"
Su Ningning couldn't help but smile: "Mom, city people are also people, country people are also people, not to mention that many city people also came from the countryside to the city, it's no big deal, don't be nervous, just treat it normally."
What's more, there are not many rich people living nearby, and most of them may not have as much money as He Qingshan does now!
Once the coal supply between He Qingshan and the government is fully secured, he will be able to afford a bigger house with its own entrance and yard, and everyone in the city will be envious.
Of course, if this matter had not been implemented, Su Ningning would not have been in a hurry to tell Zhang Meiqi, because she is a down-to-earth person.
Hearing her daughter-in-law say this, Zhang Meiqi felt relieved. She picked up the sheets, washed them quickly, and went downstairs to hang them up to dry.
