Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path Chapter 164 164: I'm Here to Help

"Why did you co over? Is there sothing you need?" Wang Shuxia asked. "You see, I'm quite busy right now. How about I co over to find you after I'm done?"

"No worries, I just ca to see how you're handling these things. I was thinking of coming over to help," Jiang Hong's mother, Liu Xiaoqin, said with a smile.

Her eyes, however, were fixed on the kitchen, and her mouth involuntarily pouted a bit.

Indeed, there were many more things divided than at their own ho.

But she didn't stop to think that her husband, Jiang Jiuming, was just an instructor, not on the sa level as the top official, Liu Jianping.

This was also because Liu Jianping and Jiang Jiuming were from the sa hotown. In the past, Wang Shuxia couldn't make cured at, so she would specially invite her to make it, and as a way of thanks, she would send them a string of at as a gift.

Ever since the at was divided up yesterday, she had been waiting for Wang Shuxia to co by.

Yet, even by today, there was still no sign of her.

Liu Xiaoqin was afraid of losing the opportunity to soone else. You must know that their family wasn't as well-off as Wang Shuxia's—not needing to eat at the community cafeteria nearly every day, which required so many food stamps.

And as for the at, whoever helped would get a string of it. That amount of at could be enough for an ordinary family to celebrate a good New Year.

Yet she didn't anticipate that being quick still left her behind soone else.

And that soone turned out to be a little girl.

"Sis, are you really comfortable letting her handle all that at?" Liu Xiaoqin pulled Wang Shuxia out of the kitchen and pointed inside at Gu Lingling. "You wouldn't want to waste all that food. If so much at spoils, it would be such a pity."

The real pity is not having that string of at, right?

Liu Yating rolled her eyes rather ungracefully. Liu Xiaoqin's love for small advantages was sothing everyone in the neighborhood knew.

However, she was skillful. Whether it was curing vegetables, smoking ats, or sewing clothes, she was highly capable. So everyone turned a blind eye to this little flaw of hers.

After all, who doesn't have a ti when they need help?

This was also why in the past, whenever Wang Shuxia invited Liu Xiaoqin over to help, she offered such a generous gift. Either way, missing that string of at wouldn't make it hard for their family to get by.

"It's fine. I'm just taking the chance to learn from the young lady. I can't bother you every year," Wang Shuxia said with a smile.

When Liu Xiaoqin ca to their house to cure at or pickle vegetables, she never allowed her to be around.

She claid not to need help and could manage alone, but in reality, it was her fear that Wang Shuxia would learn and not need to call her next year.

Wang Shuxia was aware of these little sches, but she had no choice but to ask for help, having no other option.

Now with Gu Lingling around, her cooking skills had improved significantly. Even Old Liu would now co back to eat more often and praised her every ti.

These were all taught by Gu Lingling, who was now also going to teach her how to make smoked at and pickled vegetables. Wang Shuxia's confidence could be said to be at an all-ti high.

Gu Lingling was right; regardless of what it is, as long as you grasp the knack and put in the effort, nothing is impossible to achieve, and cooking is of the sa principle.

Now, she wasn't willing to deal with Liu Xiaoqin's attitude or trade a string of at for her help anymore.

It's better to rely on oneself than depend on others.

What's more, Liu Xiaoqin always acted as if she had done a huge favor and spread the word among everyone, so the whole compound knew.

Especially whenever Liu Xiaoqin stepped into the kitchen, she acted like she was guarding against a thief, afraid that she might learn sothing, which really bothered Wang Shuxia.

Now, with Gu Lingling, who had cooking skills surpassing Liu Xiaoqin by countless levels and without holding back, just short of hand-holding to teach her.

Wang Shuxia couldn't be happier. She never liked going to the kitchen, but now she would rush there as soon as she got off work.

She was hooked on cooking.
