At dinner time in the evening, the family gathered around the dining table. Qin Manzhi took two bites and then put down his chopsticks.
"Ke'er, don't blame me for welcoming Mrs. Lu from across the street today. I talked to her for a few words and found that she has a soft personality and I don't think she is a bad person."
"We've never wanted to get along with anyone. It's always not good to decide someone's nature at once."
Qin Manzhi had thought about it for a long time before she could say this. Today, Lu Qingshu came to the door. She originally wanted to close the door after collecting her things and not talk to him more.
But after all, they are polite and polite, and they speak kindly. It is obvious that they have a good intention to be friends with me. It is always not good if they stop interacting with others just because of those little feet.
If not, just try dating first. If it's really not a good thing, just ignore it in the future.
"Mom, I listen to you."
Zhuang Keqing had long thought that Mrs. Lu was a good person. If she really turned out to be a young lady from an official family and ended up in this situation, there must be some unavoidable reason.
But that has nothing to do with my own family, it's just a normal interaction with neighbors, so don't worry too much.
After talking about the door-to-door visit, Zhuang Keqing saw that Shen Ling was silent, so he came to ask him: "How was the first day of school? How are your classmates? How was the master's teaching?"
"Everything is fine."
Shen Ling replied, but did not say anything about being targeted before noon.
He went to study, not to make friends with others. A group of scholars, who were worthy of the scholar class, formed cliques like others. In his opinion, this was nothing more than a waste of time and was not beneficial to his studies.
"Well..."
Seeing that A Ling didn't want to say more, Zhuang Keqing stopped asking further questions and just said that they had a rest for two days and that their family should go out for a walk and relax.
On the other side of the alley, Jiang's family, as soon as the steamed bun shop opened this morning, a neighbor came up and joked, saying that his steamed buns were not as good as other people's ordinary steamed buns. He was teasing, and Qin didn't want to fall out with her neighbors, but she was holding it back. Feeling angry, he pointed his finger at Zhuang Keqing's family when he spoke.
"If his family really wants to do that bun job and steal our business, I will definitely come to scold him."

At the dinner table, Mrs. Qin said bitterly.
Son Jiang Gen and daughter-in-law looked at each other, feeling helpless.
What kind of business does this family do? Can our family still be in charge of it? Whoever’s business is good at that time will all be based on their ability. If your family’s business is not booming, my family will not let you go. If this happens, it will really cause trouble. Step, does their family still have face in Tianshui Lane?
Thinking of this, Jiang Gen advised: "Mom, you are so angry. Maybe they want to do business, but they haven't said what they want to do. How can you be sure that they want to build a bun shop to steal our business? "
"Yes, mother."
Daughter-in-law Oda also said, "If you are really worried, we will bring something to your door tomorrow, saying it is a return gift, and we can inquire about it then." Biquku
"If I look at it, they may not be making steamed buns."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Oda lowered her voice again, "On the opposite side, there are only two people, mother and daughter, who are leading the way."
"Young man, how can you stay busy if you really run a steamed stuffed bun business?"
"Mother and daughter? But I see there is a man."
Qin was puzzled again at this time.
She could see that the girl from that family was with her husband-in-law several times, could she have seen it wrong?
"You don't know yet? That husband is a scholar, and he usually studies in a government school."
"What! Still a scholar?"
Mrs. Qin, who had just been clamoring to come to the house to argue, suddenly became silent.
Scholars have achieved fame, and they are not on the same level as ordinary people like them. If they are hot-headed and do something outrageous, even if they get into trouble with the government, the big boss will definitely stand by them.
"Then, let's go and ask tomorrow?"
Seeing that Ms. Qin's anger had subsided and she was even a little cautious, her daughter-in-law Ms. Tian felt relieved.
"Hey, I'll go tomorrow and I'll go with you."
After agreeing on this matter, the family stopped talking and had a good meal.
On the second day, Shen Ling went out to school early, while Zhuang Keqing and Qin Manzhi were at home, trying to organize the small courtyard.

The chickens he bought yesterday were still being raised in the cane basket, so he put them all into the chicken coop. Seeing that they were still jumping around looking for food, Zhuang Keqing went to get some rice bran to feed them.
"Ke'er, I think I need to buy a smaller stone mill at home. I haven't drank soy milk and eaten tofu for a while, so I have some thoughts."
"Okay, Mom, I'll go find out where they can buy them later."
After the mother and daughter finished working on the chickens, they turned over the soil in the vegetable field, planted seeds, and dug water from the well for watering.
As soon as we finished our work here, there was a loud knock on the courtyard door over there.
Qin Manzhi walked forward and opened the door. She saw a strange old woman and a young woman. The other woman had a smile on her face and a basket in her hand. She said that she was from the bun seller in Tianshui Lane and had received them the day before yesterday. I came to pay the gift today.
Qin Manzhi thought to himself that the people in this prefecture were indeed different, they were all very polite. He was just visiting his new neighbor, so he didn't want to go back, but in just two days, two families came to return the favor.
"Please come in quickly."
If people are kind enough to come to your door, of course I can't wait any longer.
Zhuang Keqing still recognized this old woman, so he stepped forward to greet her, took what she was holding, set up the small table in the yard, made tea, and put two more pieces of the snacks given by Sister-in-law Lu yesterday on a plate. Put it inside.

Aunt Jiang didn't expect that he would be so solemn. She said, "How polite." She hesitated a few times before sitting down.
"My surname is Qin, and my husband's surname is Jiang. My family is in the bun business, and the bun shop in front of me is owned by my family."
As soon as she sat down, Ms. Qin got straight to the point, telling her business first so that the other party could understand what was going on.
Mrs. Tian, however, felt that her mother-in-law was too impatient, so she tried to make amends with her busy words, "My mother received your gift the day before yesterday, and she has been thinking about returning it. If she hadn't been so busy these past two days, she would have thought it was yesterday.
Just come to your door."
"No matter what happens, we are all neighbors. In fact, there is no need for this."
Qin Manzhi didn't know what the other party was thinking. Hearing that Jiang's sister-in-law's surname was Qin, she was from the same family, so she seemed even closer to her.
A few people chatted for a while, and Aunt Jiang looked around the small courtyard. When she saw the vegetable patch and the chickens, she repeatedly praised: "We also raised chickens, which is good. We can have fresh eggs to eat in the future."
"That's what I was thinking about. When we were in the village, every household raised chickens and pigs. It was convenient to eat."
Qin Manzhi felt happy after hearing the compliment and couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Why is the front room of your house sealed up? Is it for business?"

Having said this happily, Aunt Jiang changed the topic, looked at the brick wall in the front room of the banker's house, and asked.
"Auntie, we have this idea in our family, but we haven't figured out what to do yet."
Zhuang Keqing was quick-thinking and took up the conversation, "Grandma Tao said yesterday that our buns are delicious and as good as those sold in the store."
When Aunt Jiang heard this, her heart tightened.
You are such a good Mrs. Tao. You often give your grandson steamed stuffed buns on weekdays. Why are you still teasing her from behind? What are you worried about?
"But our family has thought about it. Since there is a bun shop in the alley, there will always be someone who comes first, first served. We certainly won't do anything to steal people's business."
One moment Aunt Jiang was angry with Mrs. Tao, but the next moment she was beaming after hearing Zhuang Keqing's words.
That’s the truth!
The two families fight over each other, and in the end no one wins!
After hearing what Oda said, she was completely relieved.

In the past two days, my mother-in-law has been angry. She and my husband didn't say anything, but they were worried in their hearts. It's good now. They didn't have this intention at all. They just blamed themselves for being bad and thinking too badly about others.
"Does Miss Zhuang have any ideas now?"
Mr. Oda also took advantage of the situation and glanced at the high wall built.
Most of the houses in Tianshui Lane have the same layout, and I guess there is a lot of space on the opposite side of this wall.
"There are vendors selling soup cakes, sesame cakes, and pancakes on this street. They are all quick snacks. There is no place like De Yue Lou in the west where you can order serious dishes."
"The gentlemen who live in Anping Lane up front, if you want to eat good food, you have to go there. If you want to start a business, you might as well think in this direction."
Xiaotian has a lot of business acumen and knows the area east of Qinjinzhou Prefecture clearly. She is determined to do some more profitable business, but her husband’s family has been making buns for a lifetime, so it is impossible to just follow her ideas and change
If he wants to do something else, if that's the case, then it doesn't matter if he doesn't pay compensation. If he does, I'm afraid he will divorce his wife and marry another.
