Chapter 337: Keep a respectful distance

When they got home, Qin Yang hadn’t come back yet, so Lin Chuxia went straight into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

The noodles have to be hand-rolled. People say soft noodles make dumplings and hard noodles make soup, but Lin Chuxia prefers to eat soft noodles.

But this requires cooking skills.

Knead the dough and start preparing the fried sauce.

Cut the pork belly into small cubes, blend yellow sauce and cooking wine into suitable consistency, and chop the green onions into finely chopped green onions.

Just as I was getting ready, Qin Yang came back from outside.

Probably hearing some noise in the kitchen, he went in to take a look.

Lin Chuxia was heating oil and said without turning her head, “Let’s have noodles with soybean paste for lunch.”

A warm wall pressed against her from behind, a kiss fell on her cheek, and a man’s voice seemed to murmur in her ear, “Thank you for your hard work, my wife.”

Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but turn her head, and saw the man standing behind her, one hand around her waist, the other hand even holding a file bag, his beautiful peach blossom eyes full of tenderness.

Lin Chuxia: “…”

She didn’t expect to be struck by such beauty every day.

The fragrant diced meat in fried sauce, the thin cucumber shreds and the blanched soybeans, paired with the chewy noodles, are a delicacy you will never get tired of eating.

After lunch, Qin Yang rested for a while and went to work, and Lin Chuxia began to tidy up the study.

The most things Qin Yang brought back from the Northwest were his books.

There are several large boxes that have not yet been put on the bookshelf.

While she was busy, she heard some noise outside. Lin Chuxia thought Jiang Hong came to visit her again, but when she went out, she saw Mrs. Feng and her daughter Feng Jingjing.

She knew that several of Qin Yang’s colleagues from the Northwest had been transferred here, but she didn’t expect that in addition to Li Wei and his wife, there were also people she knew.

However, Lin Chuxia really wanted to stay away from Mrs. Feng.

Mrs. Feng didn’t think so. After seeing Lin Chuxia, she was as enthusiastic as ever.

“I heard yesterday that Engineer Qin’s family was here. It’s true. I never thought we would have such a fate. Our family, Dajun, is so lucky to be transferred together with Engineer Qin, and even my mother and I benefit from it.”

Okay, here we go again.

Lin Chuxia was too lazy to deal with her words and asked directly, “Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?”

“It’s nothing, I just heard you were here, so I brought the kids over to see you. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it’s been a few months since we last met in the northwest. How come you always look so pretty? You’re nothing like us farmers who work in the soil for a living. We’re born to suffer. Even if we have a good life, we can’t have the good looks of city people.”

Haha, she couldn’t respond to that.

Mrs. Feng took Feng Jingjing and looked around. “Why didn’t Engineer Qin ask for an apartment for you to live in? Doesn’t he know that the company has apartments? In my opinion, it’s more luxurious to live in an apartment. You can see far away when you stand upstairs.”

Without waiting for Lin Chuxia to reply, Sister Feng pointed at the family building in the distance and continued, “Our Dajun is really lucky this time. He got to live in a high-rise building as soon as he arrived. Now we all live over there, on the third floor, in the fifth household. Mr. Qin’s wife, come visit us when you have time. If you have time, I say, you should ask Mr. Qin to ask the leader to move you to a new high-rise building. You have so many new furniture and a color TV in your house, you have to live in a high-rise building to match them.” Lin Chuxia: “…”

She knew that her actions yesterday were not low-key, but it shouldn’t have spread throughout the hospital, right?
“Sister-in-law, you see I just moved, and there are still many places to clean up, so I won’t entertain you. We can talk later.”

Lin Chuxia didn’t want to listen to her, and she also knew that with someone like Feng Saozi, if she tried to beat around the bush, she would just pretend to be confused, so she directly ordered her to leave.

Mrs. Feng was stunned and laughed twice. “You see, I came at a really bad time. Is there anything I can help you with? Don’t be polite to me. After all, my Dajun and your Qin Gong are from the same place. We are old acquaintances. When we are away from home, we should help each other.”

“They are just small jobs. I can clean them up slowly by myself.”

At this point, Mrs. Feng didn’t know what to say anymore. She told Lin Chuxia to visit her home when she had time, and then she took Feng Jingjing out.

As soon as she walked out of the door, Mrs. Feng’s face fell and she pinched her daughter beside her.

“Useless things, see? No matter where we go, people will look down on us.”

“How could I give birth to such a useless thing like you? You have no sense at all. Didn’t you say you wanted to watch TV? Qin Gong’s house has a color TV, why are you so dumb here? You said you wanted to watch a color TV, and she couldn’t let you in?”

Feng Jingjing covered her little arm and said aggrievedly, “Mom, you said you would take me to watch TV.”

“You keep talking, you keep talking,” Mrs. Feng pinched her again, “If I didn’t want to take you to see the world, why would I do that? Do you really think you are superior just because you live in a building? Do you expect others to invite you to their house? See, they still look down on you. If you don’t behave yourself, you will suffer the consequences sooner or later.”

Feng Jingjing hugged her arms, tears welling up in her eyes but she didn’t dare let them fall.

Seeing that there was no one around, Mrs. Feng suddenly sighed, “It would be great if you had a son. If you had a son, your father would be very proud. He has such a good job and is so capable. If he had a son, all the good things would have been taken over. Why did he give birth to a useless person like you…”

“Is this the wife of the army?”

Suddenly a voice scared Mrs. Feng. When she saw her sister-in-law in the distance, she smiled again.

“It’s me, sister-in-law, are you going out?”

“Go buy some vegetables. Where are you two going for a walk?”

“Let’s just walk around. We just moved here, so we want to take the kids to get familiar with the place.”

“That’s right. I see your daughter is not a child anymore. Why hasn’t the transfer been arranged yet? In my opinion, you can put other things aside, but you have to focus on your child’s studies and not delay.”

“Well, sister-in-law, look at what you said. It’s no big deal for a little girl to be here and live with everyone. It’s a blessing she has earned in eight lifetimes. How can she have the nerve to go to school and sit with others? It’s not a big deal.”

The sister-in-law frowned slightly, but kindly advised, “Dajun’s wife, what you said is wrong. The idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is not acceptable. Now the country advocates family planning. It doesn’t matter whether you have a boy or a girl. Isn’t it written on the slogan? Boys and girls are both treasures.”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Mrs. Feng smiled along, and only stopped smiling after the old sister-in-law left.

He lowered his head to glance at Feng Jingjing beside him, with undisguised disdain, “What do you mean boys and girls are both treasures? It’s easy to say when you’re not in the right position. How can a money-loser be compared to a son? Pah…”

Looking up, he saw the family building in front of him. “If you were a son, your father was so capable, and we mothers would be proud of it. Why would we have to be so humble and look at other people’s faces? It’s all because of you, the jinx. You made your parents lose face. I tell you, when you go back, be honest and tell your father what you should say, and don’t say what you shouldn’t say. Be careful or I’ll tear your mouth and send you back home.”

Feng Jingjing shrank back, lowered her head and said in a coy voice, “Mom, I’ll be obedient and won’t tell Dad anything. Please don’t send me back to my hometown.”
