After this incident, Chu Jingqiu and Lu Chunyan became closer and closer. Wang Cuihua treated them as strangers when she saw them. She didn't even say hello when they met, let alone talk to them in the office.
She still shows off her husband and children to other teachers in the office every day.
Chu Jingqiu set up a small kerosene stove in the dormitory and usually cooked his own meals.
She didn't go to Xiao Yihan's office to eat very often anymore. Every time, Xiao Yihan had to pay for her extra dishes himself. She didn't want others to say that she was being treated specially.
Anyway, she also has her own space, so when she doesn't want to cook, she goes to the space mall to eat. In the evening, when Xiao Yihan has nothing to do, he comes to find her, and the two of them go out for a walk or a date together.
If they have time on weekends, they will go home together. If Xiao Yihan doesn’t have time, Chu Jingqiu will take the bus back to the compound by herself.
At noon that day, Chu Jingqiu had just finished class when Mr. He came to the school to pick her up with a smile on his face.
"Grandpa, why are you here?" Chu Jingqiu said happily.
"I came here a long time ago, and your Grandpa Xiao is here too. The furniture is all ready, and the furniture in the compound was moved back the day before yesterday.
I have nothing to do today, so I sent you the furniture from the family compound. Come on, let's go take a look together."
Chu Jingqiu and Mr. He soon arrived at the family compound. The furniture inside was already neatly arranged. Xiao Yihan and Qi Yue were meticulously making the final adjustments.
Chu Jingqiu looked around curiously and was pleasantly surprised by everything she saw. Inside the room was a double bed, a large wardrobe, a chest of drawers, a bedside table, a table and chairs, and a row of brand new bookcases.
However, what was even more unexpected to her was that there was an exquisite dressing table in the bedroom.
Chu Jingqiu walked over to the dressing table and looked at herself in the oval mirror, her eyes gleaming with delight. "I love this dressing table so much! Who designed it? It's simple, elegant, and practical!"
Old Master He said with a smile, "Of course it's Yihan. I drew a blueprint specifically for it and told your Grandpa Xiao to make a dressing table for you. This one is a little simpler, and the one in the courtyard is more beautiful."
"Grandpa, you just said that Grandpa Xiao is here too, why don't I see him?" Chu Jingqiu looked around but didn't see Grandpa Xiao.
Xiao Yihan smiled and said, "My grandpa went to the backyard to plant vegetables. He has been busy in the vegetable garden all morning."
"I'll go check out what Grandpa Xiao has planted!"
Chu Jingqiu came to the vegetable garden in the backyard and found that Grandpa Xiao was watering the vegetable garden. There were two rows of leek roots planted on the ground.
"Grandpa Xiao, what are you planting in this field?" Chu Jingqiu asked curiously.
Old Man Xiao said with a smile: "Xiao Qiu is here! I planted a lot of things in a mess, and there are really a lot of things!"
He pointed at the vegetables and said, "This side is planted with Chinese cabbage, the side is planted with white radish; the side is planted with spinach and coriander;
This is leek root. Yi Han likes to eat stuffed buns and dumplings, so I specially found some leek roots for you to plant. You can use them to make leek boxes and dumplings later.
We've got some Chinese mustard greens growing here, which you can stir-fry or pickle."
Chu Jingqiu smiled and said, "Grandpa Xiao, you grow quite a variety of vegetables. We can't eat all of them.
When we have the weekend, we can pick some for home. If you and my grandpa have nothing to do, you can come here and pick some fresh vegetables."
Grandpa Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, the cabbages I planted are enough for our three families to eat.
Xiaoqiu, I see a lot of dried vegetables in the kitchen, you must have dried them!"
Chu Jingqiu helped Mr. Xiao pull the water pipe, "Well, I dried it. The school also has a small vegetable garden.
I had a lot of beans, eggplants, and cucumbers that I couldn't eat, and some that my colleagues gave me, so I dried them and will try them fresh in the winter."
"Xiao Qiu, you must have learned all this in the countryside! You're quite good at managing life.
Your grandma always says that you can't do anything, and she's worried that you and Yihan can't live on your own. I think she's just worrying for nothing.
It is really a blessing for Yihan to marry you." Old Master Xiao said with a smile that showed his teeth.
"Grandpa, Xiaoqiu, the food is here. You can eat first! We'll do it after you finish eating." Xiao Yihan also came over.
The three of them came into the house together. There were already seven or eight dishes and a soup on the table.
Everyone sat down around the table. Old Master Xiao first picked up a chicken leg for Chu Jingqiu and said, "Yihan, the person living next door is Wang Wenbiao's son-in-law, right?"
"Yes, it's him. Grandpa, you have a really good memory. You still remember him." Xiao Yihan praised.
Old Master Xiao snorted coldly, "I met him when Wang Wenbiao's daughter got married.
When that guy saw me just now, he saluted and ran away like a mouse seeing a cat. Am I that scary?"
Qi Yue smiled and said, "Grandpa, it's not that you're scary, it's that they've done something wrong and are afraid that you'll cause trouble for them, so they've scared them away!"
"What bad things has he done?" Mr. Xiao asked in confusion.
While eating, Qi Yue recounted what had happened some time ago.
Mr. He's face turned pale and he said, "Old Xiao, why has no one ever told me about this? This is simply too much!"
Chu Jingqiu hurriedly explained, "Grandpa, I didn't let them tell you because I was afraid you would be anxious. Yi Han and I solved this matter ourselves."
Mr. He said angrily, "It seems that the punishment she received last year was too light. She keeps coming here to cause trouble. It's really unreasonable!
I'll go back and have a good chat with Wang Wenbiao. If he dares to make Xiaoqiu uncomfortable, I'll let him deal with it."
Old Master Xiao rolled his eyes at Old He and said, "Old He, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? We still go after him, he's too arrogant.
Come to my house and wait for him tomorrow. I told him to run to see me. I’ll teach him a lesson this time.
And there is that teacher named Cuihua. With her quality, she is still a teacher. Isn’t this misleading the students?
I'll call your commander and have him teach this teacher a lesson. If he can't do his job, he should get out as soon as possible."
"Grandpa, Grandpa He, don't be angry, neither of us suffered any loss in this matter.
Xiaoqiu beat up Wang Cuihua and humiliated Wang Yingying. They are really overestimating their abilities by fighting us."
Less than a week after the two old men left the family compound, Wang Cuihua's good days had arrived.
That day, just after Wang Cuihua finished class, Principal Ye came over and looked at her strangely, "Teacher Wang, our army has organized a study class and we need to send teachers to attend.
You'll need to study for about half a month. Our school has assigned you to this position. Go back and prepare well, take care of your family matters, and go tomorrow!"
