As soon as school was over in the afternoon, Qiaoqiao threw her schoolbag in the living room, picked up a handful of fruit candies on the table, and rushed upstairs.

"You little girl, instead of doing your homework after school, where are you going to play?" the landlady scolded from behind.

"I'm going to Mr. Sanloujiang's house to ask him about some things I don't understand!"

"You don't even bring your books, what do you want to ask?" the landlord shouted from below.

Qiaoqiao ignored her and went straight to Jiang Cong's house. Qin Man was preparing to cook a meal herself at that time.

She went to the market and bought pork belly for a dollar, a pork bone, and some corn to make pork rib soup. The human body still needs to maintain good nutrition. Eating vegetarian food every day will make your mood worse.

I've just settled the bill, and it's time to eat something meaty. Money will come slowly, and we make money only to live a better life. There's no need to save a little bit of it.

"Master's wife, are you cooking?" Qiaoqiao suddenly appeared and called out.

This little girl calls her master's wife all the time. Calling her sister is not in line with the generation, and calling her auntie would make such a beautiful Qin Man sound old, so this clever little girl calls her master's wife.

"Yes, Qiaoqiao, how come you have time to come up and play?"

Qin Man had just finished stewing the soup and was adding coal to another stove.

"Master's wife, here are some fruit candies for you!" She smiled and stuffed five or six fruit candies of different colors in her hand into her hand.

The fruit candies wrapped in tin foil are very pretty. They are small, but they cost more than two pieces per pound!

The landlord can collect sixty or seventy yuan in rent every month, and Qiaoqiao's father is a skilled worker, earning over a hundred yuan a month, so their family has the means!

"Thank you, Qiaoqiao. One is enough for me. You can eat the rest!"..

"There's still a lot at home. I can't finish it. If you can't finish it, please leave it for Teacher Jiang!"

But there is a teachers' meeting today, so Teacher Jiang will be back later. I came here specially to give you a report!"

Qiaoqiao said seriously that she had only been in the first grade of junior high school for a week, but with her lively personality, she had already had a lot of fun in the class. She really couldn't like Teacher Yang. She must like Teacher Jiang. She pestered him all day long, and they could see that Teacher Jiang was unwilling!

"Tell tales? What tell tales?" Qin Man couldn't help laughing, her curiosity was aroused.

Could it be that Jiang Cong was flirting with other girls behind her back at school and was seen by Qiaoqiao?

However, she didn't quite trust Jiang Cong's character.

"Well, teacher's wife, let me tell you, there is a music teacher in our class who dresses very fashionably every day, but no matter how beautiful she dresses, she is not half as pretty as teacher's wife. I heard that her family is an official! She talks to teacher Jiang every day and buys him food. Everyone in our class thinks that she likes him because he is good-looking!

"But don't worry, Master's wife, Teacher Jiang never pays attention to her. Master's wife, you are so beautiful, Teacher Jiang will definitely choose you and not her!" Qiaoqiao said in a serious tone and successfully made Qin Man laugh.

"Puchi... Qiaoqiao, who taught you that? How old are you, and you're already saying you like it!"

"Master's wife, don't underestimate me. Although I am young, my mother always takes me to watch movies, and that's how they acted in those movies!" Qiaoqiao was afraid that Qin Man wouldn't believe her, so she explained seriously.

Movies? Yes, there were movies available in the early 1980s, but most of them were in black and white.

However, it is not appropriate for the landlady to take her daughter to watch a romance movie!

"Okay, I believe you. Thank you for coming to tell me. I'll let your teacher Jiang explain it to me later!" Qin Man pretended to be angry.

Qiaoqiao believed it once again.

"Ah? Madam, did I do something wrong? Don't blame Teacher Jiang. It was all Teacher Yang's will!"

"I know! I just asked him to explain it to me so that I won't misunderstand it later, right?

Don't worry! I won't be angry with him, I believe him!"

"That's good. If you scolded Teacher Jiang because I told tales, Mom would beat me to death!" Qiaoqiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiaoqiao stayed here for a while, chatted with Qin Manxian, talked about the school environment and food, and then went downstairs to have dinner.

Afterwards, Jiang Cong came back. As soon as he entered, it started raining and there was no umbrella at home.

"Manman, I had a teachers' meeting today, so I came back late. It smells so good. What delicious food did you make for me?"

"I bought some pork ribs for soup, and also stir-fried some pork and some greens. Let's wash our hands and eat!"

Qin Man is very good at cooking. In her later life, she even took a cooking class and learned how to make desserts. She is an expert at cooking!

She is an orphan and has strong independent abilities.

However, as her job changed, she became busier and busier, so she had less time to cook.

"Let's go buy an umbrella after the rain stops! We can also go for a walk nearby. I heard that the park by the lake has beautiful scenery. It rains a lot in autumn, and I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to go to work in the morning if it rains!"

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say!" Jiang Cong looked at his wife who was serving soup, and was extremely satisfied.
