Chapter 55 pt 2 (2/2)
“Really?” Seeing him nodded, the joy on Zhao’er’s face overflowed. She turned around and said, “Oh, this is really a great thing. Our Tinger is smarter than others. You’ve only been in school for a few months and have already gotten into Class A.”
Others don’t know the rules of Qingyuan Academy like Zhao’er, but when they saw her like this, they all knew that it was a happy event, and they all came forward to congratulate her.
Zhao’er said: “Okay, don’t go back today. Let’s start a feast here, as a congratulation to Ting’er’s success. I just wanted to tell you what’s at home. The meat was only bought yesterday, not to mention the rice noodles. Later you go to the village to borrow two tables, and then borrow some bowls and chopsticks and stools. My aunt and I will cook.”
“Now I have a chance to try Zhao’er Jie’s craftsmanship.” A few young people said happily, and they went to borrow tables, chairs and chopsticks in a hurry. Zhao’er also went back to get rice noodles, meat, and vegetables.
With so many people helping out, everything soon fell in place.
Because the stove hadn’t had time to heatt, Gao Sheng built an earthen stove at the door and used it first. Everyone was sitting around and talking, and Zhao’er, Aunt Gao and Zhou shi were already busy.
The chicken is stewed in the pot and has been simmering for a while. Zhao’er opened the lid of the pot, and bursts of fragrant white smoke floated out. Although the people sitting around were still talking, they looked towards this side intentionally or unintentionally, and some even swallowed their saliva.
“It’s said that Sister Zhao’er is good at craftsmanship. We haven’t eaten it.” A little round-faced teen said.
Among this group of young teens, probably only Gao Sheng had the blessing to taste it before.
Gao Sheng laughed: “You will be able to taste it later.”
Here, Zhao’er used a spoon to scoop a small piece of chicken, blew on it, and fed it into Xue TingRang’s mouth: “How is it?”
In fact, with Zhao’er’s skills, there is no need to have someone taste. It is just a habit from a long time ago. They used to eat big pots of rice at Xue’s family. Because they had to pay for Xue Qingshan’s education, the food at home was not good, and Zhao shi always paid attention to the meat and eggs.
Every time she was asked to cook, she asked him to taste just to make Xue TingRang take another bite of meat, while others had nothing to say.
Here one person fed, the other ate, and they don’t think there was anything wrong. People over there didn’t think so. A chubby young man sighed: “Uncle TingRang and Zhao’er Jie have such a good relationship!”
The younger generation was also surnamed Xue, and he belonged to Xue TingRang’s nephew’s generation, so he was obviously two years older than Xue TingRang, but he has to call Xue TingRang Uncle.
Someone laughed and joked with him: ” Zhaoer Jie, not Aunt Zhaoer. You have been confused by your seniority. If you called this in front of your father, and your father must beat you to death.”
“They haven’t married yet.” Xue Hu said aggrieved.
“She is your aunt even if they are not married. Next year you will have to honestly call her Aunt. Then I will ask Zhao’er Jie to give you a big red envelope.”
Gao Sheng was obviously making fun of Xue Hu, everyone couldn’t help but laughed, but only Jiang Wu was a little silent. Gao Sheng glanced at him and sighed in his heart.
He then went to look over there again. The sky is already a bit dark, making the flames in the stove particularly dazzling. The boy was saying something, the girl was smiling, the two of them whispered a few times and smiled at each other.
Unlike others, Gao Sheng had many friends who grew up bare-ass together, so they know more than others.
Zhaoer is a recognized village flower among the descendants of Yuqing Village. She looks good, has a good personality, and is hardworking. Although she is a bit tough and has a rough personality, she always smiles and never finds trouble as long as no one provokes her. So she has done some deeds, but she is very popular in the village, and people of all ages like her.
Those who grew up together in Gao Sheng, eight out of ten were interested in Zhao’er. They all had intentions but never followed through. They all know that Zhao’er Jie has been taken long ago, so no one dared to intervene.
Country folks have this perception that a child bride is the daughter-in-law of someone else’s family. Although she hasn’t yet married, she is still the daughter-in-law of the other family. To think about other people’s wives will bring about scoldings from the whole village. Gao Sheng also knew that Jiang Wu was interested in Zhao’er Jie.
They all grew up together. Gao Sheng didn’t dare to say anything. If this matter is broken, let alone Zhao’er, he will not be able to be friends with Jiang Wu either. He only hoped that Jiang Wu could figure it out and let it go.
For example, like him.
“Alright, let’s eat. You guys, don’t sit down, come and serve food.” Zhao’er knocked on the iron pan with a large frying spoon and turned her head.
This ‘you guys’ referred to the few youngsters, and the monkey like youngsters all smiled and hurriedly moved closer.
