"Is it really that scary?"
"Jiang Xinyu, please remove the ’ma’. My mom says I should beco a teacher in the future, but even if I were a frontline worker, I wouldn’t beco a teacher," Qiao Jingyi said exaggeratedly.
Watching her animated expression, Jiang Xinyu burst out laughing.
"Are we just going to lie in bed all day? Isn’t that too boring?"
"What else can we do? Isn’t vacation all about eating and sleeping?"
"Alright, alright, I’ll stay with you the whole ti."
Three girls together always ans gossip.
Two of them are still students, but the gossip isn’t limited to school—their conversations go beyond that.
"Jiang Xinyu, the person we saw at the school gate last ti was Shen Xueqi, right?"
"Yeah, do you know him?"
"I saw him from afar once before. Now, he’s quite popular; many haven’t t him, but when it cos to Shen Xueqi, everyone knows of him," Zhou Qingying said with a smile.
"Is it because of his family’s situation?"
"Yes, it’s because of that. Everyone sympathizes with him, but there’s definitely so gossip about him too.
Jiang Xinyu, how do you know him? Aren’t you in different systems?"
"We went to Russia together this year."
"Ah! Now I rember why the na Jiang Xinyu sounded so familiar. You’re that model worker?" Qiao Jingyi looked at Jiang Xinyu with admiration.
"Am I famous too?"
"Of course, I never thought I’d have such a classmate—a model worker!"
Qiao Jingyi leaned closer to Jiang Xinyu, "How’s Russia?"
"How should I answer that? I didn’t have ti to look around, but I learned to make bread. When you decide when to go back, I’ll make so in advance for you to take ho and taste."
"Great, great, we’re going back on Sunday afternoon."
"Alright, I’ll start the dough in the afternoon."
Jiang Xinyu isn’t just a nice person; mainly, because they bought her three als the day she had her exams, she had no canteen al tickets. They were enthusiastic, so Jiang Xinyu was willing to invite them over.
They had dumplings with a three-fresh stuffing for lunch, once again eating too much.
"Jiang Xinyu, I’ve decided. I want to work in a textile factory in the future, so I can visit your place occasionally for a al."
"I usually eat at the canteen. If it weren’t for you visiting, I wouldn’t have ti, nor the desire, to cook." She didn’t want to hold anyone back, couldn’t really let Qiao Jingyi this girl co over as a worker, right? Although a worker’s status is high, her family has expectations for her.
"How can you discourage ? Hey, Jiang Xinyu, why don’t you marry my brother and be my sister-in-law, then I can eat your food every day," Qiao Jingyi said without hesitation, with an expression like it was the obvious choice.
Jiang Xinyu stared at Qiao Jingyi, "Are you out of your mind? Don’t talk nonsense, I have soone I like."
"Really?" Qiao Jingyi looked faintly at Jiang Xinyu.
"Is there any doubt?"
"My poor brother, it’s over before it even began."
Zhou Qingying laughed on the side. "Xiao Jing, Brother Qiao would definitely give you a hard ti if he knew."
Qiao Jingyi rolled her eyes, "Him? He’s already twenty-four and still no one wants him. Even though my family eats two als a day, my mom worries about him three tis a day, would he dare hit ? My mom would definitely scold him."
"Xiao Jing, rember Xinyu is two years younger than us."
"That doesn’t matter, don’t n all like younger ones?"
Her logic startled Jiang Xinyu. This girl is remarkable.
"Jiang Xinyu, seriously, won’t you consider my brother? He’s quite outstanding, 1.8 ters tall, works at the public security bureau."
Jiang Xinyu shook her head, "I have soone I like."
"That’s regrettable."
"Didn’t we just talk about Shen Xueqi?" Amitabha, better him than , Shen Xueqi faces the storm.
"My brother is in his team, I pressed for a long ti, and my brother finally told Shen Xueqi’s expression was like an evil ghost when he found out."
"Cough! Anyone couldn’t accept such betrayal, right? I really sympathize with him," Zhou Qingying sighed.
"Honestly, I think he couldn’t have not known about it before. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be sleeping at work all the ti."
Jiang Xinyu nodded; he’s in the public security, he can’t lack investigative skills. This only shows he’s been enduring it. Wei Kaiyun ntioned this issue to her too.
"Xiao Jing, do you know anything about his child?"
Qiao Jingyi shook her head, "I don’t know, my brother hates it when I do this. If I ask too much, he won’t co back." She shrugged helplessly.
"Jiang Xinyu, do you know?"
"How could I know? How can I ask about that?"
"But I’ve heard my mom say soone like Shen Xueqi wouldn’t have trouble finding soone, surely many people would introduce him."
"Would he really dare to marry again?" Zhou Qingying asked, surprised.
"Why wouldn’t he dare? Would he stay single forever?"
Jiang Xinyu decided to ignore the two of them, "I’m going to knead dough, we’ll have cold noodles tonight, who wants to roll the dough?"
"I also want braised pork, it’d be a sha to waste it."
"Alright, so rice with braised pork and potatoes?"
"Yes, yes."
On Sunday morning, Jiang Xinyu stead two baskets of bread, and for lunch, they made dumplings again. These two were really greedy. No choice.
They took the last bus back in the afternoon.
Qiao Jingyi ran ho excitedly, the family was having dinner.
"So, are you happy now?"
"Yes, I had the best ti these two days, ate braised pork, hotpot, rice, dumplings. It was truly bliss. Try this bread.
Mom, my classmate is Jiang Xinyu, the one who went to Russia for grain, I never thought, she’s two years younger than ."
"I thought you already knew that, or I wouldn’t have let you go out," Mrs. Qiao looked at her daughter disdainfully.
Qiao Jingyi giggled, pulled out the bread, and gave one each to her parents and brother. "Try it, it’s delicious, she learned it in Russia."
Mrs. Qiao broke off a piece and put it in her mouth, nodding while eating, "Delicious, it’s all good stuff."
"Brother, I tried introducing you to Jiang Xinyu, but she refused, she has soone she likes. Too bad, it’d be great if she could marry into our family, I really like her."
Qiao Dongshan gave his sister a glance, no filter.
"It’s a pity, Xiao Jing. Is Jiang Xinyu pretty?"
"Quite pretty, but really thin, she said it’s because she got sick on the train in Russia, that’s why."
"Next ti she cos for exams, invite her ho for a al, you’ve eaten so much of her good stuff."
"Yeah, I know. She might not co. Last ti Shen Xueqi invited her to dinner, but she refused. I think she doesn’t like socializing. She’s probably a cool person?"
