Chapter 335: Stop caring about other people’s business
Cooking was much faster for the two of them. They stewed the meat, made fish soup, and finally stir-fried two vegetables.
Lin Chuxia asked Qin Yang to set the table, and she took a bowl of braised pork and went to the next room.
After knocking on the door, someone came to open it soon. It was a teenage girl, not tall, and looked somewhat like Mrs. Fu.
“Who are you looking for?”
Before Lin Chuxia could reply to her, Mrs. Fu came out of the house.
“Yaping, this is Mr. Qin’s family who just moved in next door. You can call her aunt or uncle,” she said, and then invited Lin Chuxia to sit in the house.
“I won’t sit down,” Lin Chuxia replied politely, and handed the meat to Sister Fu. “I just moved here a few days ago, thank you for taking care of me. I just started cooking at home today, so I stewed some meat. My cooking skills are not good, please don’t mind, Sister Fu.”
“Oh, look at this meat. If you hadn’t said you stewed it yourself, I would have thought you bought it from a state-owned restaurant. It smells so good.”
Mrs. Fu took the bowl with a smile and said, “Come sit inside for a while. I’ll clear the bowl for you.”
“My family is waiting for me to have dinner. I’ll come and chat with my sister-in-law when I have time.”
There was only a wall between them, and Mrs. Fu knew what was going on next door, so she didn’t try to keep her. She quickly cleared the bowl for her and repeatedly told her to come over and stay when she had time.
When I got home, the meal was already served.
Qin Yang and Li Wei drank, while Lin Chuxia and Jiang Hong ate directly.
After they had eaten their fill, Jiang Hong ignored the two drinkers and took Lin Chuxia to visit their new home.
I have the furniture and appliances, but there are still many places in the house that have not been tidied up.
This is also to take advantage of Qin Yang’s rest to deal with the big things first, and then deal with the small things slowly.
Jiang Hong happened to be here, so Lin Chuxia discussed with her, “You came here a few days earlier than me. Do you know where I can find tailoring services? I want to make two sets of bed sheets and quilt covers, and I also want new curtains.”
Their curtains are still the ones left by the previous residents, light blue with blue bamboo (as shown in the picture).
Not only is the style old-fashioned, it also doesn’t block out light.
Last night Qin Yang pulled her to play around, and when they reached the window, she was almost scared to death and felt insecure.
When Jiang Hong heard this, she sighed.
“If you don’t mind, I can help you. I have nothing to do at home, and I happen to have a sewing machine at home.”
“That’s great,” Lin Chuxia certainly didn’t mind, “Do you have time tomorrow? I’ll go buy some cloth.”
“Yes, I’m tired of staying at home every day, so I’d like to go out with you.”
At the same time, the Hu family next door.
The whole family gathered around the dinner table.
When Hu Qingan’s youngest son Hu Xingwei saw the braised pork on the table, he immediately screamed.
“Mom, why do we have meat today? Is this from the state-owned restaurant? What good day is today?”
Hu Qing’an also looked at his wife.
Fu Changying put the steamed buns on the table and said to Hu Qingan, “The family of Engineer Qin next door just sent them over. I heard a lot of noise in the yard over there. It seems that the new Li Wei from your unit is helping Engineer Qin adjust the TV. He even left some dinner for him.”
Hu Qingan nodded, picked up his chopsticks and started eating. “Li Wei and Qin Yang were both transferred from the same unit. They were in the same group at the original unit, so they are naturally close.” Fu Changying was a little worried. “They are both in your department, right? Qin’s position is comparable to yours, and these two people have been transferred to your department…”
“Why are you saying this?” Hu Qing’an interrupted his wife before she finished. “No matter where we are, we are here for work. If you say so, I have been in the company for more than ten years, so I must have known more people. Work is based on ability, not ganging up on people.”
Fu Changying smiled slowly, “That’s not what I meant. I just think the leader values Engineer Qin very much. You are in the same department, so it’s a good thing for colleagues to visit each other more often. You can even give him a telephone pole and help him adjust the TV. That’s also a convenient thing to do.”
Hu Qingan glanced at him calmly and said, “Giving him a telephone pole is something we have and he just needs it. It’s just a piece of cake. But after giving him the thing, I have to help him adjust the TV. That’s a bit too much.”
He glanced at the braised pork in front of him and said with some hesitation, “It’s good now. We have a give and take. Don’t think too much about it. You have lived with me in the compound for so many years. It’s time for you to make some progress.”
“I heard that the new engineer Qin is young and promising, and the leaders attach great importance to him. How old are you? How old is he? He is at the same level as you. I am worried about you.”
“There’s nothing to worry about. Just do your part and maintain good neighborhood relations with his family, and everything will be fine.”
Fu Changying nodded and became excited again when talking about Qin Yang’s family.
“I don’t know where she comes from. I heard she’s from the county below, but she doesn’t look like it based on her appearance or clothes. I’ve seen the skirt she’s wearing in a department store, but it’s not cheap. I wouldn’t want to spend that much money. And today, the couple has been busy all day. In the morning, they brought home furniture, and in the afternoon, electrical appliances. They brought home truckloads of them. How much did that cost?”
“Mom, when I came home from school this afternoon, I saw the big new TV the family next door had bought. It was a color TV, made by Toshiba in Japan, and it was imported.”
Hu Qingan’s son Hu Xingwei said excitedly.
Hu Yaping glared at him in dissatisfaction. “What’s so good about imported TVs? If it were you, I wouldn’t even want something from Japan for free.”
Hu Qingan didn’t want his family to talk about others, so he interrupted the conversation and said, “Eat your meal well and don’t meddle in other people’s business.”
Hu Xingwei picked up the last piece of meat in the bowl and discussed with his mother, “Can I go to Qin Gong’s house to watch TV after I finish my homework?”
“Don’t you have a TV at home? Why do you have to go to someone else’s house to watch it?”
“My house is in black and white, I want to see a color one. Look at the colored Monkey King in the foreign paintings. How beautiful he is. I want to see what a colored version of Journey to the West looks like.”
Fu Changying glanced at her husband and saw that he didn’t react at all. She then said to her son, “They just moved in, and we don’t know them well. It’s not appropriate for you to watch TV at their place.”
………………
Qin Yang only took one day off because of Lin Chuxia’s arrival and had to go to work the next day.
Lin Chuxia woke up before 7 o’clock in the morning. There was no one around, but there was some movement in the yard.
When she opened the curtains, she saw a man doing push-ups in the yard. Lin Chuxia raised her eyebrows.
No wonder men can stay in good shape even though they sit in the office all day.
Suddenly I became interested, changed into sportswear, tied my hair into a bun, and walked into the yard.
Seeing her like this, Qin Yang smiled slightly, “Together?”
“Okay.”
She first did some warm-up and stretched her limbs.
Just when Qin Yang thought she was just stretching her limbs and doing some exercise, he saw the little woman directly took his mat, put her hands on it and started doing push-ups.
Qin Yang: “…”
When he said “together”, he just meant exercising together, he really didn’t mean for her to do this.
