Cake Roll
Song Shixia didn't expect him to speak so directly. The irrelevant words made the smile on the other person's face completely disappear.
She had no choice but to make amends for him: "Hello, Teacher Wang, I am Mr. Ji's wife."
Wang Meiling didn't dare to look her in the eye. She always felt inferior when facing beautiful women.
The courage she mustered was shattered into a sieve, and she could only force herself to smile.
"Hello, Mrs. Ji, are you going to the library?"
Song Shixia smiled and said, "Teacher Wang, just call me Xiao Song. We are going to the library to borrow some books."
Wang Meiling raised her head again and said, "I won't bother you anymore. I just came here to say hello to you."
"Okay, Mr. Ji and I got married in a hurry and didn't prepare any candy. We'll make up for it when we have time."
Wang Meiling almost fled.
Song Shixia looked at him complainingly: "Can't you be more reserved when speaking?"
Ji Weiqing was puzzled.
"You don't like the way I handled it?"
It’s not that I don’t like it.
"You are too blunt in your words. You have no regard for the other person's face and self-esteem. She is a lesbian after all. What if she is made to cry in front of everyone?"
"We are all colleagues working in the same school. Even if we have no interactions, we should not make our relationship so rigid."
Ji Weiqing had almost no perception of this kind of interpersonal relationship.
Song Shixia finally discovered it.
His moral values are normal, but he seems to lack emotional intelligence when dealing with interpersonal relationships.
"Also, I didn't lie to Teacher Wang about the wedding candy. Remember to include all the colleagues you've worked with."
Ji Weiqing's dull personality made it harder than climbing to heaven for him to take the initiative to tell his colleagues that he was married. Taking the initiative to distribute wedding candies can also bring colleagues closer.
Song Shixia borrowed "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "Pride and Prejudice" from the library.
Ji Weiqing glanced at the cover and asked, "Do you like foreign classics?"
Song Shixia handed him the book and said, "I haven't read it yet, so of course I'm curious. Unlike some people who stop telling the story halfway, I can only find a translated version to read."
Ji Weiqing thought of the unfinished story of Anna Karenina before his business trip.
"Sorry, would you like to hear the second half?"
Song Shixia had already finished reading the second half of the story, but didn't have any special feelings. Maybe she was not old enough yet.
She said, "I would only do it if you translate it for me yourself, but it's OK if I borrow the translated version from the library."
Ji Weiqing chose the former, probably because the most intimate things had already happened, and it wouldn't be so embarrassing to talk about something beyond the limit.
Song Shixia bought a bag of orange-flavored gummy candies and a bag of milk candies as wedding candies at the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Take these two bags of candy. When you're back from vacation, give some to your coworkers who you have a good relationship with. If there are any left, you can give them to anyone you want."
Ji Weiqing took it obediently.
The supply and marketing cooperative didn’t have the herbs for making medicinal liquor, so you had to go to a Chinese medicine pharmacy to buy them.
Song Shixia has dried wolfberries and red dates that can also be used for soaking. We'll see if Ji Weiqing can buy some back then.
She suffers from mild menstrual cramps, so she soaks some red dates and wolfberries in a medicinal wine and applies it on her ears during her period to relieve the pain.
She relied on this red date and wolfberry wine to relieve her dysmenorrhea in her previous life. Later, her health improved and she almost never suffered from dysmenorrhea again.
Therefore, the effect of medicinal wine is actually much better than tea.
Song Shixia and Ji Weiqing returned home, but their mother-in-law had not come back yet.
But today there were unexpected guests at home.
The police came to the door. They not only brought banners, but also bonuses.
"It's right here. Are you sure you are looking for Comrade Song Shixia?"
"It can't be wrong. Comrade Song Shixia, a family member of a teacher at Yenching University. Comrade Song acted bravely at the time. If she hadn't intervened, the wanted criminal might have gotten away again."
The police suddenly came to the school, which scared the school leaders.
They went out to greet them in person and found out that the police were looking for someone and that the person was a caring family member of a teacher.
After learning the name of the teacher's family member, they didn't know at first whether there was a person named Song Shixia in the school. Later, the security guard at the gate reminded them.
The security guard knew Aunt Feng and had heard of Comrade Xiao Song's name and his heroic deeds from Aunt Feng. He recently made a new friend, Comrade Xiao Song's brother.
A group of people were walking on the prosperous avenue of the campus.
Song Shixia was banging on the bread kiln in the yard. After a few days of wind, sun and rain, it had become completely solid and could be used as an oven.
Song Shixia wanted to make a cake roll, and Ji Weiqing happened to be at home to help beat the egg whites.
The cake roll recipe is very simple. It only requires eggs, milk and sugar, which are readily available at home, but the most important thing is someone who can beat the egg whites.
If you don’t have an egg beater, you can only find a hardworking tool.
Song Shixia came to him and begged. Ji Weiqing put down the book he had just opened, but in fact he couldn't read a single word.
He couldn't help wanting to see what she was doing, why she had so much energy and seemed to be interested in everything, like a curious child.
Song Shixia and Ji Weiqing worked together to put the cake base into the simple "oven", and the door was pushed open from the outside.
The three uniformed police officers, two school leaders and the couple in the yard looked at each other in confusion.
Song Shixia was the first to recognize the police officer.
Could it be that the bonus has been delivered?
"Comrade Song, we are here today to present you with a banner and a bonus. We want to thank you for your bravery in helping us catch this vicious criminal."
Song Shixia wiped her hands on her apron.
"Comrades, please come in. I'll pour you a glass of water."
The police comrade was very strict with discipline and was unwilling to enter the house, so Song Shixia asked Ji Weiqing to help move a few stools out and put them in the pavilion.
There happened to be a round table in the pavilion.
Song Shixia asked everyone to sit down: "Comrades, please sit down and talk."
Ji Weiqing was full of doubts. Why did she act bravely when he was not at home?
Song Shixia poured the tea: "This is wild tea picked from my hometown."
The police officer handed her the banner.
"We asked our master to make this banner to thank you for your bravery."
Song Shixia put away the large banner: "Thank you, comrade."
The policeman took out a pile of things wrapped in newspapers from his briefcase, and visible to the naked eye were banknotes.
"This is the wanted criminal's reward. Can you count it?"
She was originally worried about being taken hostage by the robber, after all, the man was running towards her and it was hard for her not to worry. Unexpectedly, she earned 2,000 yuan by accident.
Catching this kind of social evil will be good for public security, and Song Shixia felt proud.
"Excuse me, which year's wanted criminal did she help capture?"
Ji Weiqing suddenly interrupted.
When he saw the thick stack of bounty, he finally understood what she had been through. This was not a trivial matter at all. The person who received such a high bounty must not be a good person.
The police officer smiled at him and said, "You must be Comrade Song's husband. Last time, she bravely helped stop a robber who was trying to snatch a bag on the street. When we took her back, we found out that she was a wanted criminal who had committed many vicious crimes and was roaming around in several cities."
Ji Weiqing was filled with fear. How could she, with such a thin body, dare to stop a robber in the street?
He was worried: "How long was that person sentenced?"
"He has been sentenced to death for multiple crimes, so there is no need to worry about the other party's revenge after he is released."
Ji Weiqing breathed a sigh of relief.
When the police officer left, Song Shixia noticed that he seemed to be in a bad mood.
"What's wrong? Are you scared after hearing this? It's actually not as scary as the police said. He ran towards Aunt Feng and me, and we were in the middle of the road with nowhere to hide. What if he took me hostage?"
Ji Weiqing warned her: "Next time you encounter such a situation, find a safe place to hide. How can a weak girl like you dare to stop the bandits? You should be thankful that he didn't hold a weapon in his hand."
When Song Shixia smelled the aroma of the cake, she turned around and left.
"There won't be a next time. I will never put myself in danger again. I value my life more than you think."
"I wasn't completely unsure before I stopped him. I brought pepper spray with me, and the smell is that of a lethal weapon."
She kept on chattering, and Ji Weiqing listened without answering. Song Shixia trotted to the bread kiln.
"The cake base was successfully made. I am such a little genius."
Ji Weiqing rubbed his wrists. He felt his wrists were a little numb from helping to beat the egg whites and make the cream.
Song Shixia spread fruit and cream on the middle layer of the cake base and rolled it up again. Then he cut it in half with a kitchen knife and the fruit roll cake was ready.
There were only two people at home, Song Shixia and Ji Weiqing, quietly enjoying afternoon tea time in the pavilion in the yard.
Wang Meiling returned to the office, her self-confidence crushed.
Seeing the excitement, the colleague raised his head and was anxious.
"Meiling, who is the lady next to Professor Ji?"
Wang Meiling smiled bitterly: "That's Professor Ji's wife. We all guessed wrong."
Everyone in the office was shocked.
"Professor Ji is married?!"
They had never heard of it.
"Could you have been deceived? We haven't heard of Professor Ji getting married."
Wang Meiling shook her head: "Comrade Song admitted it herself, and Professor Ji was standing next to her, so she wouldn't lie to me."
"What a pity! You and Professor Ji are such a perfect match, how come someone suddenly comes out and steals your love?" The colleague said this indignantly, and those who didn't know would think that Professor Ji had let her down.
Wang Meiling opened the lesson plan and shook her head. She felt very upset but was afraid that her colleagues would notice something.
"Don't say that. Professor Ji is already married. Professor Ji and I are just colleagues." No matter how bad she was, she would never destroy other people's marriages.
Colleagues sneered behind her back, thinking that Wang Meiling was ungrateful.
Song Shixia quickly bought all the herbs she needed. She brewed three bottles of wine, which had to be placed in a cool place, and could only be placed in Ji Weiqing's study.
The three kinds of wine are red date, wolfberry and ginseng wine, Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng wine, and a mess of stewed wine.
The former is obvious and is used to treat symptoms such as uterine cold and dysmenorrhea in women. It can be applied to the ears for alcohol allergy.
He Shou Wu has something to do with hair growth, and whether the effect can be activated depends on luck. And the activation of this barrel does not mean that the next barrel of He Shou Wu wine can cure hair loss.
As for the big stew, a lot of precious medicinal materials are put in it, so the effect will definitely not be too bad.
When his brother-in-law came home from a business trip, Song Qiu Sheng felt embarrassed to continue living at his sister's house.
He went out to look for a job every day, hoping to find a job that would allow him to travel around, and finally applied for a job as a tricycle driver.
The tricycle is rented from a company, and a ten-yuan deposit is required. The company provides food and accommodation.
He chose this job as a temporary worker, intending to earn money while observing the current situation in the capital. Once he found a business opportunity, he would quit and start a new business.
Before, he trusted villains too much, but with the lessons learned from his previous experiences, he is full of confidence in doing business.
He found a job and started working immediately, changing into the uniform and going to the train station to look for customers.
The train station was crowded with people, and a group of particularly eye-catching wealthy people from other places were being protected as they left the station.
The first person Song Qiu Sheng saw was the woman who was surrounded by celebrities, his ex-girlfriend.
I'd like to recommend my best friend's article. It was all thanks to her guidance that I was able to pass the application.
[A two-way secret love redemption story, a long-lost reunion] [A micro-social scare stutterer x a cool and protective academic master/a career-minded writer x a love-minded professor]
Nine years later.
As soon as Qiao Xi returned to China, her friends forced her to go on a blind date.
Unexpectedly, she would run into the man she had secretly liked for a long time in a cafe.
He Zhixu was wearing a high-end suit. His eyes swept over indifferently, slowly lingering on her.
The unexpected reunion made Qiao Xi's heart tremble, and she hurriedly pulled her friend to sit at the door.
The next second, he got up from his seat, and with a pair of long legs, he stood beside her across half the cafe. His gentle voice was really unclear: "Qiao Qiao, there are too many people, can we share a seat?"
—
Later, she went to an internship at a publishing house to get inspiration for her new book.
The next day, He Zhixu sat next to her with a smile on his face, looking like a worthless idiot.
"cough……"
Qiao Xi turned her eyes away and pretended to cough, while quietly complaining about the matter to her friends on QQ.
"I haven't seen him for nine years. When did he become so shameless?"
When I looked up, I saw him handing me a tissue.
After lowering his eyes to look at his phone, he took off his new gold-rimmed glasses and quickly approached, supporting himself on the table with one hand.
When he was only a few centimeters away from her ear, he said in a serious tone of an old cadre: "Well, there is no way. If you are shy, your wife will lose face."
—
Qiao Xi suddenly realized.
Suddenly I returned to the sensitive and socially anxious age of sixteen, and the bright fireworks broke through the cold winter.
She was about to drown, but was finally pulled ashore by the boy.
⊙Where is the warmth of youth? Is everything a long-planned plan?
⊙People who have experienced this say that you have to be thick-skinned to coax your wife.
