After Qiao Simei returned to the house and only Cao Zhiqiang and Qin Huairu were left in the earthquake house, Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Aunt Qin, what do you want from me? Just tell me what you have to say. There are no outsiders here."
Qin Huairu took a deep look at Cao Zhiqiang: "Just stand and say it?"
"Ouch!" Cao Zhiqiang slapped his head, "Look at me, I'm so busy. Aunt Qin, please sit down."
After Qin Huairu sat down on the chair next to the dining table, he glanced at the large piece of beef put aside: "Hey, such a large piece of beef must weigh five kilograms, right?"
"You are wise!" Cao Zhiqiang said while taking a thermos bottle and pouring boiling water into a cup: "No more, no less, exactly five kilograms!"
Qin Huairu sighed: "Your little life is really nourishing. In my opinion, in this whole hospital, if you want to say that the family that eats the best on weekdays, it must be you."
"Just kidding." Cao Zhiqiang, "When it comes to food, no one in this courtyard can compare with your family. How can your family be short of food and drink when Uncle Silly is here?"
Qin Huairu shook his head and said: "Your stupid uncle can bring some leftovers home, but he can't bring too much, especially this meat. There is no way he can compare with you. In addition, we have many family members. This time
Even if it’s divided, you can’t eat more meat, let alone beef.”
Cao Zhiqiang smiled and was no longer modest.
After all, what she said was true.
In this entire courtyard, the food at Shazhu's house is good, but at least Shazhu's cooking skills are on display there.
But when it comes to the quality of ingredients, especially the daily per capita intake of meat, eggs, and milk, it has to be Cao Zhiqiang’s family.
If you continue to be humble, you will be hypocritical, so it is better not to speak at all.
Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang put a glass of boiled water in front of Qin Huairu: "Aunt Qin, please drink water. I'm sorry, I don't have tea at home, so I can only let you drink boiled water."
Well, this is true, because Cao Zhiqiang usually drinks coffee.
The coffee he signed before was dozens of kilograms, including Geisha coffee, Blue Mountain coffee, lots of coffee, instant coffee, coffee beans, everything.
I can’t finish my coffee, so where can I find time for tea?
Of course, he didn't really have no tea leaves.
When I signed in before, I was also rewarded with tea leaves.
But the quantity of tea signed was too small, the quality was too high, and it was too sensitive.
Because the tea he signed before was the first bud from the Dahongpao mother tree in Wuyi Mountain, and it only weighed five kilograms in total.
Normally he would be reluctant to drink it himself, let alone give it to Qin Huairu.
What's more, just because Qin Huairu was sent here and Cao Zhiqiang gave her boiled water, he already looked up to her.
After all, the boiled water in his thermos bottle is not ordinary. It is also Changbai Mountain natural mineral water in Antu County.
Originally he didn't want to give her this water, but there was really no other cheap water at his house right now. He couldn't just go outside to get tap water and boil it, right?
It’s time-consuming and labor-intensive!
But when someone comes, they obviously want to sit down with you and talk about numbers. It would be very rude of you not to give them some water.
Behind Qin Huairu, there are Shazhu and Uncle 1, who can be called the first sister of the courtyard. Although Cao Zhiqiang is not afraid, he does not want to cause trouble.
Not to mention, he is in a special situation now and has to turn to Silly Zhu for help for the time being.
However, he deliberately poured boiling water into Qin Huairu from an old enamel jar that his mother used, and Qin Huairu probably wouldn't be happy to drink it.
He just acted and meant what he meant.
If she had spoken quickly later, she probably wouldn't have had to give her the water.
Of course Qin Huairu didn't know this, she just thought that the other party really had no tea, so she smiled and nodded: "If there is no tea, you should have told me earlier.
Your brother Jia, just like my great brother, doesn't drive for the ministries and commissions. He often gets some good tea and can't finish it. If you don't mind it, I'll ask him to bring you some later."
"That's a good relationship." Cao Zhiqiang responded with a noncommittal smile and sat across from him.
"Aunt Qin, if you have anything to do, just tell me."
Sure enough, Qin Huairu did not drink the cup of boiling water.
She just glanced at the enamel jar, then turned to Cao Zhiqiang and said: "Zhiqiang, since you are so happy, Aunt Qin won't be nagging, open the skylight and speak frankly."
After a short pause, Qin Huairu said: "Zhiqiang, do you have any thoughts about our Sophora japonica?"
"What's your idea?" Cao Zhiqiang pretended to be stupid, "What's your idea?"
Qin Huairu smiled and said, "That's right, do you want to date our Sophora japonica?"
"What? Of course not!" Cao Zhiqiang said quickly, "I have always regarded Sophora japonica as my sister...wait a minute."
Cao Zhiqiang counted with his fingers: "No, Huaihua seems to have been born in 1962, and I was born in 1964. I have to call her sister."
At this point, Cao Zhiqiang put down his hand: "Don't worry, Aunt Qin, I'm still young and I focus on my career. I have never thought about the love between children, let alone falling in love. Even if we do, I will never watch it."
Go to Sister Huaihua! After all, she is older than me."
Qin Huairu frowned subconsciously and said subconsciously: "Then you were following Huaihua and Xiaodang before?"
Cao Zhiqiang touched the tip of his nose: "What, Mencius said, if a person is young, he will admire his parents; if he is a lustful person, he will admire his young wife.
At that time, I was still young and ignorant, my love interest was just beginning, and I was ignorant about the relationship between men and women. It was normal for me to have a few fantasies when I saw Sister Huaihua and Sister Xiaodang.
Aunt Qin, you have been here before, don’t you understand this?
However, I have grown up now and am no longer a young man in love.
Especially since my mother passed away, I have to support the family by myself, and I will never be the same person again.
Therefore, even without Uncle Silly’s warning, I would not go after Sister Huaihua now. I really don’t have the intention, so don’t worry about that.”
"Really?" Qin Huairu frowned, "But how did I hear that you want to spend money to hire our Sophora japonica to be your nanny? What are you thinking?"
"Ouch." Cao Zhiqiang said quickly, "Aunt Qin, you have misunderstood me. I dare not ask Sister Huaihua to be my nanny, no matter who I ask."
Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang explained: "To be honest, when my mother just passed away, I was in unbearable pain and regretful, so I could only rely on reading some magazines and novels to distract my attention.
Unexpectedly, I watched and watched it, and it was a bit unsatisfying, and I also had the desire to create my own creation.
As you know, I can do whatever I want, so I started writing novels, poems, etc. and submitted articles to some magazines.
Originally, I didn’t expect others to accept my articles, but unexpectedly, they all accepted my articles and the royalties were quite high.
Some magazines even invited me to be a columnist.
Then I discovered that the money I earned from writing articles one after another was much higher than my salary from working in a factory.
You see, my home appliances, my wardrobe, and my food and drinks all come from royalties.
So I thought, since I have this talent, I can't waste it. In the future, I plan to continue to work hard on the road of literary creation and become a true literary writer.
So, I am destined to be very busy in the future.
After all, although I have talent, I have a weak foundation. I need to study more and further, otherwise I will soon run out of talents.
You see, I have to study more, write manuscripts, and work in the future, so I probably won’t be able to take care of things at home.
It doesn't matter if I want to be alone. If I can feed myself and the whole family is not hungry, it doesn't matter.
But I also have a younger sister, and my younger sister’s younger sister has just defected here, so I have to be responsible for taking care of her. After all, my younger sister’s younger sister is also my younger sister.
However, my two sisters are still so young, which makes it a bit inconvenient for me, a grown man.
After all, you know our relationship. Although I have always considered my sister to be a relative, after all, we are not biological brothers and sisters. We still need to distinguish between men and women, and we have to avoid suspicion in some places.
So, I was thinking, isn’t Sister Huaihua not working yet, and she is patient, or can I ask Huaihua to come over temporarily to help.
I'm not asking Sophora japonica to be my nanny. I don't need her to take care of me.
I just asked Sister Huaihua to come over and help take care of my two younger sisters when I am not at home.
For example, I cook meals for my sister, help with homework, and clean the room.
Especially that Qiao Simei, she is my sister’s sister.
This girl, you must have heard of her deeds.
Good guy, I secretly took a train from Nanjing to come here alone, and I don’t have a student status here, so I can’t go to school here, so I can’t let her homework fall behind before sending her back, right?
I asked Sister Huaihua to help her with her homework during this period. Is that right?
So, this is really not me asking Sister Huaihua to be my nanny.
I just asked her to help take care of my two adopted sisters.
But to be fair, help cannot be in vain.
So I decided to pay some money as labor fee for Sister Huaihua.
Sister Huaihua has money, is in a better mood, has no worries, and can be more attentive, right?
Things are just that, and situations are just that.
So, Aunt Qin, I really have no idea about Sophora japonica, please believe me!"
