Zuo Jingyan felt Lu Haoting's suspicious gaze, and the smile on her face froze. She had tried to keep a low profile, so why did she arouse his suspicion?
"Let's eat!"
Seeing Zuo Jingyan avoiding his gaze, Lu Haoting looked back and called his mother and little sister to come to the table for dinner. Zuo Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the kitchen to get steamed buns. There was not enough white flour and she could only steam two boxes of steamed buns, but she put
With a little sugar added, the steamed buns taste sweet and soft, not as hard as pure cornmeal.
"My sister-in-law cooks well, and the steamed buns are also good."
Qin Feng didn't even eat the white flour steamed buns he brought. He ate two of Zuo Jingyan's steamed two-faced steamed buns and praised them while eating.
It is no exaggeration to say that he can eat five of these steamed buns without any other vegetables. He just likes the sweet taste.
"Then eat more."
Zuo Jingyan smiled lightly. She was always happy when she was praised, but she didn't dare to show off her all-around skills as a boss in her previous life, otherwise Lu Haoting would be suspicious again.
"Haha, I must eat more."
Qin Feng smiled, and his impression of Zuo Jingyan became a little better. People will change. Lao Lu should have scared her with divorce earlier. Look at how much better she has become now, and she is a bit like a good wife and mother.
Eating means reminiscing about old times. Qin Feng is a talkative person. The meal took more than two hours to finish, but Zuo Jingyan was very anxious.
Originally, seven days was enough time to weave wigs, but today I wasted a day. It was hard not to entertain my mother-in-law when she came, and she would have no time to spare in the next few days, so she had to stay up late and work. She didn't want to break the contract on the first business.
After dinner, Lu Haoting took the initiative to pick up the bowl. Zuo Jingyan saved face for him in front of Qin Feng and said with a smile: "You go talk to mom, I'll do it."
"Thanks."
Lu Haoting thanked her in a low voice. She had given him enough face today and deserved a thank you.
"You're welcome."
Zuo Jingyan smiled. This was a sign of respect for her, and her mood was not wrong.
"Sister-in-law, I'm coming."
Xiao Yu rushed to work. She couldn't use a kerosene stove to cook because she couldn't reach out, but washing the dishes was not difficult. She didn't want to eat free rice at her sister-in-law's house.
Zuo Jingyan didn't stop Xiaoyu. After all, she wasn't staying for a day or two, so she couldn't let herself take care of everything, otherwise she wouldn't feel comfortable.
"Okay, I'll change your clothes."
Zuo Jingyan handed over the kitchen position to Xiao Yu. She went into the house and took out some clothes she had found for Xiao Yu, and planned to go to Jiang Xueying's house to borrow a sewing machine for her to alter.
These clothes are fat, bulky and old-fashioned, but the colors are nice and can look fashionable if you change them.
She couldn't go to someone else's house empty-handed, so she made a carrot potato and brought it to the children.
Qin Feng was even more surprised when he saw the shredded potatoes made by Zuo Jingyan. Most people don't know how to cook this dish, what a chef's skill!
After Zuo Jingyan left, Qin Feng said to Lu Haoting:
"Lao Lu, why don't you think about it? She seems to have really changed?"
What he meant was that Lu Haoting should consider not getting divorced, because his good cooking skills were worth living.
Not to mention that his temper has also changed.
Lu Haoting didn't say anything. There were only a few things that he couldn't confirm whether Zuo Jingyan had really changed. Anyway, there was still a month left, so there was no rush to make a conclusion.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Qin Feng didn't say anything more and asked Xiao Yu with a smile:
"I heard from your brother that you were admitted to a normal school?"
"Um."
Lu Xiaoyu blushed and nodded shyly. Thinking that her sister-in-law told her to raise her head when answering questions, otherwise she would look petty, she immediately raised her head, but when she met Qin Feng's dark eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head again.
Qin Feng thought she was very funny. Girls in the city were not so shy, but he was worried that she would be bullied in school if she was timid, so he smiled and said to Xiao Yu
"If someone bullies you, just tell me and Brother Qin will help you beat him up."
"Thank you, Brother Qin."
Xiaoyu nodded happily. The little girl's smile was as bright and dazzling as a mountain flower blooming, and her eyes were as pure as clear lake water.
Qin Feng smiled. Lao Lu and his sister were completely different. One was as cold as an iceberg, and the other was as pure as snow.
Qin Feng has always been looking forward to having a sister, but unfortunately he completed the mission after his mother gave birth. He regarded Xiao Yu as his biological sister and promised with a smile:
"You're welcome. If you need anything, just ask Brother Qin."
Lu Haoting stood in front of the window and watched Zuo Jingyan walk into Jiang Xueying's house holding clothes in one hand and shredded potatoes in the other, his eyes filled with warmth.
She has become more understanding of people and the world, and is not as scoundrel as she used to be just trying to make ends meet!
"Lao Lu, I'll be on duty for you. You can stay at home and spend time with your aunt."
Qin Feng came over and told him that Lu Haoting should be on duty tonight, and he was going to take over for Lao Lu.
"No, I have to go back to the army."
Lu Haoting refused. Qin Feng thought he was afraid of failing in the competition, so he laughed and teased him:
"You can win without training. My aunt came all the way to stay with her."
"It's not bad in the past few days. The leaders attach great importance to this competition."
Lu Haoting shook his head and said it very seriously, as if he was really returning to the army for the competition.
The real situation is that there is no room for him at home.
Zuo Jingyan gave up the double bed to her mother and sister. She must have moved to her own room. They couldn't squeeze into a single bed, right?
"Okay, do you want to follow me in the car or go by yourself?"
Lu Haoting hesitated:
"Let's go together!"
But before leaving, Lu Haoting plowed all the land, which made Li Qiaoyun very sad. After his son plowed the land, he had no work to do!
Zuo Jingyan came back from Jiang Xueying's house. Lu Haoting and the others had been gone for a long time. Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law stayed in the dark room and did not dare to move.
"Mom, why don't you turn on the light?"
Zuo Jingyan opened the light cord and saw her mother-in-law and sister-in-law sitting on the stools neatly, so she asked them with a smile.
"Save some electricity."
Li Qiaoyun is used to being frugal. Lighting a lamp costs electricity, and electricity costs money.
"..."
Zuo Jingyan didn't know what to say? Their generation has never suffered the hardships of the older generation, so waste has become a habit.
"Xiao Yu, put it on and try it on."
Zuo Jingyan handed two altered clothes and one pair of trousers to Xiao Yu.
She didn't make any big changes. She just tightened the waist a few inches, changed the front and back plackets to round plackets, made the upper shoulders, closed the cuffs, and changed the collar to a lotus leaf collar. It was simple and elegant, suitable for students to wear.
The trousers were changed to straight-leg trousers, and the side opening was changed to the front opening, which made the legs look slimmer and longer. With the top she modified, Xiaoyu transformed from a rural girl to a big city girl in an instant.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Lu Xiaoyu couldn't put it down, she liked this dress very much.
"As long as you like it."
Zuo Jingyan is also very satisfied with her craftsmanship. In her previous life, she worked as a summer job in a high school work-study program in a classmate's clothing factory. She learned how to use a sewing machine and cut out these skills, and she even used them after she passed away.
Sister-in-law Jiang Xueying fell in love with the clothes she had altered when she saw them, and asked her to alter two pieces for herself when she had time.
Li Qiaoyun was very pleased to see that her daughter-in-law was so kind to her daughter. It seemed that her worries were in vain, as her daughter-in-law has become really nice now.
"Mom, you should go to bed early!"
Zuo Jingyan also had to knit wigs and had no time to chat with them, so she taught Xiaoyu how to boil water on a kerosene stove and let them wash themselves.
She went back to the house and took the time to braid her hair. In the dim light, she lowered her head and leaned very close to her headrest.
Chapter completed!
