During dinner, Sister Du also brought a large plate of freshly fried rice cakes.
The rice cake is soft and glutinous, with a golden outer skin. The children especially like to eat it.
Sister Du asked Qiao Huaping to take some time to talk with her outside.
The two chatted often. Qiao Huaping smiled and took Sister Du's arm, and walked out of the courtyard together, chatting about home affairs.
Sister Du asked Qiao Huaping how it was going out this time. Qiao Huaping thought for a moment and to be on the safe side, she didn't mention the resurrection of the "dead man" at home to Sister Du. She just smiled and said it was okay.
Sister Du lowered her voice and gently tapped Qiao Hua's screen with her elbow: "Let me tell you something. You said that the man in front of you has been dead for more than three years. Even if you keep your filial piety to him, you are still fulfilling your duties.
.From now on, no one will gossip about the children...haven't you ever thought about finding another one?"
Qiao Huaping almost choked on her own saliva.
"No, eldest sister, it's all right. What do you mean?" Qiao Huaping wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and glanced at Sister Du speechlessly, "Did someone ask you to be a matchmaker again?"
Sister Du smiled and blinked at Qiao Huaping, her eyes full of excitement: "Not really. During the few days you left, one day, the young master of the Wu family came to look for you. I said you went out to do errands.
, Young Master Wu still doesn’t believe it. I came here twice in the past few days and you were not there... No, I said, Xiao Qiao, what do you think of Young Master Wu?"
Sister Du knew that what she was chatting with Qiao Huaping was not in line with some current concepts and was only suitable for them to chat in private, so she kept her voice low and looked mysterious.
Qiao Huaping became increasingly speechless.
She never cared much about Wu Yourong in the past, but now that the dead man has come back to life, and she is in a state of continued marriage, she will not have any thoughts about remarrying anyone else.
However, it was not easy to publicize Mei Yuan's resurrection from the dead at the moment, so Qiao Huaping didn't say much, and just said angrily to Sister Du: "Sister, don't say such things in the future, we are friends."
Sister Du touched Qiao Huaping's arm with some resentment, and moved closer: "Xiao Qiao, I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. In my eyes, you are the best girl in the world.
Master Wu San, after getting along with him for so long, I think he is quite different from those playboys from rich families."
The most important thing is that he cares about you.
The words rolled around on the tip of Sister Du's tongue, but she swallowed it.
She just thought that Qiao Huaping was in a certain family, and she persuaded her earnestly, "Although you are a widow with many children, Master Wu San still has the reputation of being tough on his wife. In my opinion, he is far from the best."
Far inferior to you. So, as long as you are willing, I think if you marry Young Master Wu San, you will be marrying low!"
Qiao Huaping became more and more helpless and quickly raised her hand to surrender: "Okay, okay, eldest sister, I can see it. Are you addicted to matchmaking? You want to match anyone you meet?" Qiao Huaping coughed and said sincerely,
"I really don't have that thought. If I had that thought, I don't care who is a widow or not, I would definitely be in trouble!"
These words were deafening to Sister Du's ears.
But when she thought about it carefully, according to Xiao Qiao's temperament, it seemed that this was really the case!
In this way, does Xiao Qiao really not like Young Master Wu San?
That's such a shame...
Sister Du sighed in her heart.
A few days ago, Young Master Wu San came to my door. From the meaning in his words, it seemed that he finally got through to the family and wanted to come to propose marriage.
But...Xiao Qiao obviously doesn't mean that.
Sister Du thought sympathetically, she just pitied Young Master Wu San. Looking at his appearance, he seemed to have a deep affection for Xiao Qiao.
It was raining here a few days ago, so he came here twice in a row, got caught in the rain, and actually fell ill.
It's just that Xiao Qiao doesn't have any interest in him after all, so there's no need to say this, lest it only increase Xiao Qiao's worries.
Sister Du made up her mind and said nothing more about Wu Yourong.
She suddenly remembered something again and slapped her head, "Oh, I almost forgot about this."
Sister Du quickly took out a long object wrapped in yellow cloth from her sleeve and handed it to Qiao Huaping.
"This is?"
Sister Du said: "Hey, it's the post sent from the house of the guard lady who used to communicate with you frequently. It was just delivered yesterday. Weren't you not here a few days ago? They were very anxious, so they handed this over.
Give it to me and let me see when you come back and hand it over to you."
When Qiao Huaping heard that it was the post sent by Sun Shike, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
She took it but didn't open it in her hand.
Sister Du looked at her words and said "Ah": "What's wrong?"
Qiao Huaping did not hide it from Sister Du, and told her that Sun Shike wanted little Aye to live with her for a while and recruit a child for her.
Sister Du immediately woke up and felt a little annoyed: "I didn't know before, otherwise I wouldn't have accepted this post! I just threw this post in their faces and asked them to take it back! ... What do you think of our little A Ye?"
!”
Sister Du was filled with indignation: "Then throw this post away! I'll tell you later that I filled up the stove in my house!"
Qiao Huaping laughed: "It's nothing, just..."
After making up her mind, she opened the post and read ten lines at a glance.
It turned out to be a Spring Festival banquet.
As spring is getting deeper, it is the custom of the garrison mansion to hold a spring banquet.
Two years ago, Qiao Huaping also received posts from the Spring Festival Gala, but Qiao Huaping never liked socializing with a bunch of unknown people, so she refused them all.
At that time, Qiao Huaping and Sun Shike had not had any disagreements. When Sun Shike saw that Qiao Huaping was unwilling to come, he did not force him.
Qiao Huaping and Sun Shike had a falling out this year, and Qiao Huaping didn't take the matter to heart, but she never thought that she would still send this Spring Festival sticker.
