On the way, Deng Xing was obviously very happy. When no one was around, he thanked Qian Shulan again and again.
Her face, which usually looked mature and dignified, now looked a little more lively. Qian Shulan found it quite funny. "If you want to see her alone in the future, you can come to me and I will keep watch for you."
Oh, it’s really not easy for her to be a mother.
Deng Xingming's eyes lit up after hearing his mother's advice, but he was also a little distressed. "Mom, is this not a good idea?"
Qian Shulan didn't care. "There's nothing wrong with it. Chenglin is suffering so much. You should give her more guidance and make her feel better."
The most important thing is not to do stupid things in the future because of her ex-husband's viciousness.
Deng Xingming nodded in agreement. He smiled and said, "No, Cheng Lin is not that kind of person."
Qian Shulan raised her eyebrows. Is this kid stupid? Any normal person would hate someone if he was schemed against by the person next to him.
Qian Shulan reminded him again not to be self-righteous, "If it were you, you might not hate her, but that doesn't mean Cheng Lin wouldn't. After all, she was the victim, not you. Don't take it for granted."
Deng Xingming's face turned red after being scolded by his own mother. After thinking carefully, it seemed that what his mother said made sense. He secretly thought that the next time he met Cheng Lin, he must give it a try.
When he reached his doorstep, Deng Xingming went back home.
Qian Shulan entered the main room and found Xiao Min sitting alone by the fire roasting peanuts.
The room was quiet. Qian Shulan sat down by the fire, took off her half-wet shoes, and then changed into cotton shoes. "Where's your aunt?"
Xiao Min pursed her lips and said, "Someone called her out."
Qian Shulan was a little surprised, "Who is it?"
As far as she knew, Deng Xingping didn't know anyone except the people in Lao Wang's family. On New Year's Day, she didn't stay in the house to warm herself by the fire, but actually came to look for someone.
Xiao Min tilted her head and thought carefully, "He was wearing a hat, so I couldn't see his face clearly, but he should be a man in his twenties." As she spoke, she stood up and gestured, "He's probably as tall as my uncle."
1.75 meters? Qian Shulan thought about it in her mind, could it be Qian Yuetao
What could he want from Deng Yunping? Qian Shulan couldn't figure it out.
Seeing Xiao Min roasting peanuts, she helped.
After the food was baked, Xiao Min didn't eat it, but put it away. Qian Shulan then realized that her pockets were already half full. "Why did you put so much in?"
Xiao Min touched her pocket and smiled shyly, "I want to eat with Xiu Ping."
The Xiuping Xiaomin mentioned was her deskmate. She often shared food with her friends, so there were many children playing with her.
Qian Shulan didn't care. She asked casually, "Are you guys sharing snacks together?"
Xiao Min was stunned for a moment, then shook her head honestly, "No, her family never gives her snacks."
Qian Shulan frowned slightly, and then she remembered that Xiuping's grandmother seemed to favor boys over girls. After the girls in their family finished elementary school, they would go downstairs to work and get married when they were old enough.
Born in such a family, how could Xiuping have snacks
Qian Shulan kept her head down, thinking.
Xiao Min pouted, "Xiuping has always envied me and said it would be great if she could be born in our family."
Envy? Qian Shulan's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know if she was overthinking it, but she always felt that a girl who was doted on by her family and a girl who favored boys over girls would easily arouse the jealousy of the other party.
It would be fine if it was just pure envy, but what if it was jealousy or even hatred
Qian Shulan never overestimates human nature. Just like herself, she had never been loved by her parents since childhood, so she was particularly envious of those children who were spoiled by their parents.
She was envious, and for fear of becoming jealous, she rarely interacted with such children when she was young.
When she got older and more mature, she looked back on her past self and realized how naive and self-deprecating she was.
Qian Shulan turned her head to look at Xiaomin, "Are you and Xiuping good friends?"
Xiao Min's eyes seemed to be shining, and she nodded affirmatively, "Of course, we agreed to be good friends for life."
Qian Shulan propped up her chin and asked her, "If she also has snacks, will she be willing to share them with you?"
Xiao Min answered without thinking, "Of course. Good friends should share good things together."
Qian Shulan held her chin, touched Xiaomin's head, and nodded in agreement, "Xiaomin is right, good friends should share good things together."
As the two were talking, Deng Yunping pushed the door open from outside. She moved very quietly, crouched, and tiptoed, looking like a thief.
Qian Shulan turned around and saw it clearly.
"What are you doing?"
Being caught by her own mother, Deng Yunping touched the sweat on her forehead with a guilty look on her face, "Mom, you're back?"
Qian Shulan nodded. "Xiao Min just said that you were called out by a man. Who was it?"
Deng Yunping's crouching waist immediately froze, she turned her head to look at Xiao Min, a little annoyed, why did she forget to remind Xiao Min. She thought about it and confirmed that it was very dark, Xiao Min should not recognize her, and the heavy stone in her heart was immediately put down.
She struggled for a second, then quickly stood up and said, "An educated youth wanted me to help carry some things. I said I didn't have a ticket and couldn't carry anything, so I came back."
Her eyes were downcast as she spoke.
Qian Shulan had only asked casually at first, but seeing her guilty look, she immediately had an idea: Could this girl be in a relationship
Deng Yunping didn't hear her mother's reply. She looked up and saw her mother was in a daze. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and sat down by the coal stove to warm herself.
Seeing that the shelf was empty, Deng Yunping got up, washed two sweet potatoes, and put them on the shelf to roast.
Qian Shulan turned her head to look at her serious face. After thinking carefully, she realized that even if Deng Yunping was looking for a partner, she would not choose an educated youth. After all, the oldest one was only 20 years old. The age difference between him and her was too big, and they were indeed not a good match.
She said she was going to meet the educated youth, maybe that was just an excuse.
Qian Shulan thought about it and asked tentatively, "Yunping, after the New Year, I will help you find a partner, right? What kind of person do you like? I will help you find one."
Deng Yunping froze immediately. Dating
Her face was full of bitterness. How could she have a relationship when she was in purgatory
She forced a smile and said, "Mom, no need. I don't want to find a partner for the time being."
Qian Shulan was a little puzzled. Why didn't she date someone? Could it be that she also fell in love with a bad guy
Generally speaking, in a situation like this, one should suspect that the man is married, but Qian Shulan knows Deng Yunping and she is not that kind of person.
So there is only one possibility left, that is, the other party's identity is problematic, and there is no other possibility except that he is a bad guy.
The bad elements in their production team were both old and young, so it was unlikely that they would be involved.
Those are people from other production teams, but those people are under strict surveillance, so how can they walk around freely
Qian Shulan couldn't figure it out.
She tried to persuade him, "Why don't you find one? You are so young, find a hardworking and kind man to marry. When you are old, you will have someone to talk to. How great is that."
Deng Yunping shook her head. "I'm fine now. If I marry a man, I'll have to have children in the future. It's too much of a burden. I don't want to bear it."
Qian Shulan noticed that Deng Yunping meant what she said.
She didn't understand even more. Since Yun Ping wasn't going to meet her lover, why did she lie to her
"Mom, it's ready. I'm going to go chat with my sister-in-law." Deng Yunping grabbed the hot sweet potato and walked out of the yard without waiting for Qian Shulan's consent.
Qian Shulan reacted and shouted immediately, "Hey! Wait a minute! It's so late, let's do it tomorrow!"
Before she could finish, she heard the gate being opened and the person ran away.
Qian Shulan became even more curious, and actually wanted to follow Yun Ping, but she felt that this was too mean.
After all, Yunping is not a bad person, and it is normal for her to have her own privacy.
She suppressed her curiosity, took down the shelf as if nothing had happened, and then put up the aluminum pot, which was half full of water and a rooster.
Fang Zhongjun gave her money and asked her to take good care of Yuan Huaibao and Yuan Zeyang.
Seeing that they had cooked a pot of soup, which only had a hint of oil in it, Qian Shulan guessed that the soup must taste very ordinary.
Qian Shulan put the sliced ginger and garlic she had cut earlier into the pot.
After doing all this, Qian Shulan was about to call Xiao Min, but found that she was propped up with her little head and sleeping soundly.
One of her hands was still covering her bulging little pocket.
Qian Shulan took her hand away, then carried her to the inner room, took off her clothes, and put her under a thick quilt.
He heated up the kang and left the house.
After the chicken soup boiled, Qian Shulan added some wild boar bones into it.
She turned the coal stove to a low fire. Seeing that it was still early, Qian Shulan picked up the needlework basket and started mending shoes.
Her shoe-making skills are getting better and better.
She can make a pair of shoes with thousand-layer soles in just one day.
When she finished sewing one shoe, Deng Yunping finally came back, but she didn't look very happy. Her eyes were slightly red, obviously because she had been crying.
Qian Shulan frowned slightly, stepped forward and touched her little face, "Why are you crying?"
Deng Yunping immediately wiped away the tears from her eyes and shook her head nonchalantly, "No, no, it's because the wind outside is too strong."
It seemed that she still didn't want to say it. Qian Shulan sighed slightly in her heart, but finally didn't expose it.
Qian Shulan patted her shoulder and said softly, "Then you should go into the house and have a rest. I have heated up the kang."
Deng Yunping was quite tired. She rubbed her face and said, "Okay, Mom."
Qian Shulan sat down again to sew shoe soles. After a while, there were some strange movements in the room.
When she walked into the room, Deng Yunping was covering herself with the quilt and rolling around in the bed.
Qian Shulan lifted the corner of the quilt a little, and said speechlessly, "What's wrong with you?"
Deng Yunping rubbed her face and whispered, "Mom, this new quilt is so warm, I'm so excited." She pointed at Xiao Min who was sleeping soundly, "I was worried about disturbing Xiao Min, so I covered my head with the quilt and called out a few times."
I was really defeated by her! Qian Shulan tapped her forehead with a smile, "Stop making trouble and go to sleep."
Deng Yunping stuck out her tongue, realized that she was a little nervous, and quickly lay down.
As soon as Qian Shulan walked out of the room, Deng Yunping's smile immediately disappeared. She sat up, touched the quilt covering her body, and felt distressed in her heart.
How could she get the cotton out without her mother finding out
She looked carefully and found that the stitches on the quilt were very dense. She had never seen her mother sew a quilt before, so it must have been done by her third sister-in-law. If she took the quilt apart, she would not be able to put it back.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that her mother is always at home and she doesn’t even have time.
