Chapter 96 Meeting the Rival
Song Shuyan just felt that nothing he said would be good, as anything he said would only increase the awkwardness, and the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.
The two of them understood each other tacitly and remained silent all the way.
It was not until they were almost at Grandma Qin's house that Song Shuyan broke the eerie silence.
"Did you have meal?"
"No." It was a very official answer without a trace of emotion.
Song Shuyan understood that this meant that he wanted to have a free meal with her at Grandma Qin's house.
Although Grandma Qin was old and her eyesight was blurry, she was not unable to recognize that the tall man who came to her home with Song Zhiqing had been to the village once a few days ago.
At that time, there was a rumor in the village that three men were fighting over Song Zhiqing.
Later, Song Zhiqing refuted the rumor, saying that one of them was her brother.
The other two are older brothers who also grew up in a compound.
Later on, everyone who understood understood.
Comrade Zhou captured Song Zhiqing's heart and was promoted from a brother to a revolutionary comrade who would walk hand in hand for life.
Watching the two people walking towards me one after the other.
Grandma Qin was confused.
ah?
What's going on?
Comrade Zhou came yesterday, and today we have Comrade Shen here.
Comrade Shen, are you here to give Song Zhiqing a wedding gift?
Grandma Qin felt that she had seen the truth. She smiled kindly with her dry mouth and said hello, "You are here. You are welcome. Come in and have a seat."
“Just treat it as your own home.”
She asked Song Shuyan to greet Chen Du, and she went into the inner room, dragged out two jars from under the bed, and found the dried fish and dried beans that she wanted to stew and eat yesterday.
Prepare to cook.
A guest is a visitor.
Since there are guests, the food naturally has to be more sumptuous.
Song Shuyan poured a cup of tea for Chen Du. She was too embarrassed to talk to him and too ashamed to be alone with him.
Pretending to be calm and composed, he entered the kitchen.
"Grandma Qin, do you need help?"
As she spoke, she skillfully sat down in front of the stove and prepared to light the fire.
At this time, Chen Du also followed into the kitchen and asked in the same way, "Grandma Qin, do you need help?"
He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong, muscular arms with smooth lines, and took over the work from Grandma Qin's hands.
Grandma Qin's hands were empty. "Huh?"
Chen Du washed the ginger on his hands and turned to ask Grandma Qin, "Slice or shred?"
Grandma Qin replied subconsciously, "Shred it."
"good."
Chen Du also cleaned the chopping board and quickly cut a piece of ginger into shreds.
He then set his sights on the dried beans soaking in a wooden basin and the dried fish chunks soaking in a large bowl.
"How do I do this?"
Grandma Qin came to her senses and said, "Oh, I'll do it. There's no point in asking guests to cook!"
"It's okay, I will."
Chen Du turned around, took the large iron pot off the stove, and scrubbed it.
Grandma Qin couldn't snatch him away, so she had to go out and stood at the door, muttering, "Where did that brat Qin Jin go? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Song Shuyan in the kitchen was really embarrassed.
Want to leave.
Chen Du glanced over calmly, "Are you not going to light the fire yet?"
"oh."
Song Shuyan was like a maid lighting a fire, diligently lighting a handful of hay.
She didn't dare open her eyes and concentrated all her attention on the task of making the fire.
After a while, he raised his head, tempted by the aroma emanating from the pot.
Chen Du stood in front of the pot, the wheat-colored muscles on his arms bulging into a not-too-exaggerated arc, swinging the spatula and turning the fish pieces in the pot.
Song Shuyan is so useless that he is drooling.
It smells so good.
She was talking about fish.
It is suspected that Chen Du has worked in the kitchen.
"Hey! Comrade Zhou is here too!"
Grandma Qin's surprised voice came.
"Well, is Shuyan here?"
Song Shuyan's hand shook, and the burning hay almost fell out of the stove.
Chen Du paused for a moment, remaining calm.
"exist!"
"He's cooking in there!"
"I'll go in and help."
"No need. Xiao Shen works very efficiently. I can't help." Grandma Qin was half-blaming and half-complaining, and there was a hint of smile on the wrinkles on her face.
Zhou Jingshen still entered the kitchen and saw Chen Du cooking and Song Shuyan lighting the fire. They cooperated very well, like an ordinary couple.
A dangerous glint flashed across his sharp eyes, then quickly disappeared.
Really, you never give up.
Shuyan and he have already obtained their marriage certificate, so why don’t you give up?
He was extremely grateful that he and Shuyan got the marriage certificate yesterday, otherwise, he was really afraid that she would change her mind at the last minute.
Song Shuyan looked at Zhou Jingshen's handsome face, which was no less handsome than Chen Du's. His eyes lit up and were filled with stars.
"Zhou Jingshen!"
Chen Du glanced at her indifferently, his eyes dim. She had really changed. She used to only look at him like this.
He felt a pain in his heart, as if his heart was stabbed by a ruthless sharp blade, and the pain was excruciating.
He lowered his head sadly, his eyes filled with confusion.
I really can't understand it.
How could someone forget the past and fall in love with someone else in just a few dozen days?
Zhou Jingshen said nothing, walked over calmly, and rubbed her head with his hand.
Song Shuyan slapped his hand away and complained, "I just washed my hair!" Are your hands clean? He pressed her hair!
"Let me do it. You go out and chat with Grandma Qin."
Zhou Jingshen forcefully took away Song Shuyan's job as a fire-making maid. After Song Shuyan left, the two men looked at each other, and it was as if lightning was crackling.
"The fire is out."
"The pot's burnt dry."
They are all blaming each other for not working seriously.
"snort."
Zhou Jingshen raised the corners of his lips. He didn’t bother arguing with him. In the end, he was the winner, right?
Song Shuyan escaped in a hurry and rubbed his burning cheeks.
So scary.
The kitchen was filled with low pressure.
Grandma Qin wasn't surprised to see Song Shuyan coming out. She waved at her and said, "Come on, let's go pick some vegetables from the fields."
There are two more people than planned, and the food at home is not enough.
"OK."
In fact, Song Shuyan really wanted to ask Zhou Jingshen about the follow-up of what he discovered yesterday, but he didn't find the opportunity.
She took Grandma Qin's hand and walked along the crisscrossing paths to Grandma Qin's vegetable garden.
Qin Jin, who had just come out with a few wild duck eggs in his arms, returned home and shouted before he even entered the door, "Grandma, I'm back."
No one responded.
"grandmother?"
There was movement in the kitchen again.
Qin Jin thought his grandmother was hard of hearing and didn't hear him, so he strode into the kitchen and shouted, "There's more food today, I picked up a few..."
Look up.
Surprised, "Why are you in my house?"
He glanced around the room, "Where's grandma?"
Zhou Jingshen raised his chin towards him as a greeting, "Grandma went to the fields to pick vegetables."
"oh."
Qin Jin understood and put the wild duck eggs on the stove, not treating them as outsiders at all. "I'll go ask grandma to pick some green onions and fry the duck eggs."
Wild duck eggs have a strong fishy smell, so you have to pick more green onions to suppress the smell.
As for why they appeared in his house and why his grandmother asked them to cook, he didn't care.
Just know they're not bad people.
Qin Jin walked with big strides. Halfway through, he met Grandma Qin and Song Shuyan who were returning from picking vegetables.
He looked at the green onions in Grandma Qin's hand and said, "Not enough green onions. I'll go pick some more."
