Chapter 232 The Anxious Old Man



In the letter, she told Xiao Yihan that she accidentally discovered that when Qin Yilan and Xu Zhongmin were in trouble, Qiao Rucheng and Diao Lijun had both been to the educated youth site. She also told Xiao Yihan that Yue Lingfeng knew Qiao Rucheng.

Finally, she told him that she believed in Xiao Yihan's character, and even if Xiao Yihan had no evidence to prove his innocence, she would trust him unconditionally.

After writing the letter, Captain Guo sent Chu Jingqiu back to the Qingshan Brigade, and then took Yue Lingfeng to Beijing.

When they returned to the educated youth site, it was almost dark and Lin Zishan and Shi Aihong were cooking.

Qiao Rucheng was actually sitting in the kitchen in the backyard, and he seemed to be discussing a medical case with Lin Zishan.

Shi Aihong was silently lighting the fire. Seeing Chu Jingqiu coming over, she hurried out: "Jingqiu, go inside and warm up first! We don't need your help in the kitchen. We'll almost have dinner ready."

As she spoke, she winked at Chu Jingqiu. Chu Jingqiu responded and went straight back to her room.

When Qiao Rucheng saw Chu Jingqiu, he hurriedly greeted her happily, "Chu..."

He found that Chu Jingqiu went into the house without even looking at him. He smiled awkwardly at Lin Zishan and Shi Aihong. Lin Zishan said politely, "Qiao Zhiqing, we have already prepared the meal, look..."

Qiao Rucheng knew they were being ordered to leave, and stood up awkwardly. "You guys, eat! I've answered all my questions. Yaru and Wenbin should have finished cooking, so it's just in time for me to go over and eat. Thank you, Lin Zhiqing."

Seeing him leave, Lin Zishan curled her lips and rolled her eyes, "This guy is getting more and more annoying. I've already told him that I've only been studying medicine for a few days and have only learned the basics, but he still refuses to leave."

Shi Aihong snorted coldly, "You can hear him asking about Jingqiu's affairs through his words and constantly asking where Jingqiu has gone. He has other intentions."

The two of them steamed cabbage, shredded carrots, sweet potato vermicelli and vegetarian buns stuffed with mushrooms in the evening. Lin Zishan picked up Xuan Tengteng's big buns from the pot.

Then mix the cornmeal with water to make a paste, add a little alkali, pour it into a large pot of boiling water, bring it to a boil over high heat, and simmer it for a while to make a simple cornmeal porridge.

The meal was ready, and Chu Jingqiu came out to help the two of them bring the big buns and cornmeal porridge into the house. The three of them also picked up some spicy cabbage and pickled mustard greens, and started eating around the small kang table.

Chu Jingqiu picked up a large steamed bun with a rice crust on the bottom and took a delicious bite. "Who made the filling for today's buns? It's so delicious!"

Shi Aihong's mouth was stuffed full. "Me! It's me! I made the stuffing. How's it? My skills are getting better and better!"

Lin Zishan smiled, "Aihong, why don't you tell me how you kneaded the dough today! Jingqiu, didn't you see Aihong kneading the dough today? When there was too much water, she hurriedly added some more flour; when there was too much flour, she added more water.

If I hadn't taken over in time, we would have had to steam three pots of steamed buns. This is two full pots. Fortunately, the weather is so cold, we can put the buns in a jar and freeze them, and save them for later."

Shi Aihong smiled awkwardly, "When rolling noodles, you use less flour, so the ratio of flour to water is easier to control. When steaming buns, you use more flour, and I always can't control it well. I will definitely surpass you if I practice more."

Lin Zishan patted Shi Aihong on the shoulder and said jokingly: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!"

Chu Jingqiu smiled and asked casually, "What did Qiao Rucheng come here for just now?"

Shi Ai curled her lips, "Jingqiu, this Qiao Rucheng is so abominable. He just came over and said he wanted to discuss something with Sister Zishan, but in fact he was always trying to find out about you in a roundabout way."

Chu Jingqiu paused while picking up the food. "What did he ask you?"

Lin Zishan said with disgust, "He said why Chu Zhiqing wasn't here, what was she busy with? I just saw her and Zhang Zhiqing leave in a hurry, is there something wrong?

I told him that Sister Pingping was looking for Jingqiu to try on some clothes, and she had made Jingqiu a new dress for the New Year."

Shi Aihong interrupted, "He also asked Chu Zhiqing if he and his girlfriend were getting along well. When were they going to get married? The educated youth were all waiting for the wedding!"

I rolled my eyes at him and told him directly that they had a very good relationship. Captain Xiao had sent all his allowance to Jingqiu, and they would definitely get married as soon as Jingqiu reached marriageable age.

Didn't you see Qiao Rucheng's smile? It was uglier than crying. This guy is so annoying. He keeps asking questions like a dog-skin plaster."

Chu Jingqiu smiled and said, "He's just a clown. Don't pay any attention to him. Stay away from him from now on. He looks sinister. Don't provoke him. He might get revenge on you."

Lin Zishan agreed, "What Jingqiu said is true. When we were studying in town, a boy accidentally dropped Qiao Rucheng's book on the ground, and it got covered in mud.

The boy hurriedly apologized, but Qiao Rucheng was not willing to give in and threw the boy's book to the ground and stepped on it several times. The two even had a fight over this.

The two of them would not have stopped fighting unless their leader said they would be fired if they continued to make trouble.

The next day, the boy started having diarrhea and was nearly dehydrated. I suspect Qiao Rucheng gave him a laxative. Qiao Rucheng is really not a good person.

Shi Aihong was also frightened by Qiao Rucheng's behavior. She repeatedly stated that she would stay away from Qiao Rucheng in the future.

---------------------------

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and Mr. He and Mr. Xiao were playing chess.

Grandma Xiao hurried back from outside and shouted as soon as she entered the door: "Old Xiao, it's bad, something big has happened!"

Old Master Xiao was furious after losing the game of chess. He said angrily, "You are so old, and you are still making such a fuss. What could have happened? You scared me!"

Grandma Xiao suddenly saw Grandpa He sitting in the room. Her eyes flashed and she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Old Master Xiao looked up and glanced at her, and said hurriedly: "Tell me, what's the matter? Didn't you say it was a big deal? Why are you silent?"

Mr. He looked at Mr. Xiao and his wife, "Well! If you have anything to do, go ahead and do it! I'll be leaving now!"

Old Master Xiao hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Old He, I'm about to win this game of chess. You can't leave. I'm going to talk to my wife in the study. You wait for me! You can't leave. You have to wait for me!"

After a while, Mr. Xiao and his wife came out of the study with grim expressions. Mr. He looked at them puzzledly: "What's wrong with you two? Why are you like eggplants hit by frost? What happened?"

Old Man Xiao sighed, "Old He, you can't be angry when I tell you this! I believe our Yi Han would never do such a thing!"

Old Master He stood up anxiously, "Old Xiao, what's going on? How can I know if you don't tell me? You're so hesitant. This is unlike you, Old Xiao. It's so infuriating."
