"No, I'm afraid she'll think too much!" Qingqing shook her head and thought to herself, "When she returned to Beijing, my mother should have been seriously ill, and no one took care of me, so didn't she send me here?" But grandpa wouldn't even let us see him, so he definitely didn't have that idea. ”

"Yes, yes, when I first got married, I was brought over to salute. Did she mention you to your grandfather? Your grandfather said you weren't in good health and couldn't get out of bed. She also said that it was because I was young and couldn't take care of it. If it had been sent to the Lin family, you would not have done so. I was very angry at the time, and it was not that there was no one at home, and I wanted to send my niece to my aunt's house? He nodded, and his long-standing memories were suddenly opened.

She thinks about it now, she still feels very angry, she doesn't pick it up early, she doesn't pick it up late, she just came to pick it up when she passes the door, doesn't that mean the only daughter of her uncle's family? Over the years, her kindness to Qingqing is also well known, and it is somewhat due to the stimulation at the beginning.

"Now that I'm older, does she want me to marry someone she knows?" Qingqing nodded, her focus was never on the past, but on wondering why her grandfather suddenly let her come to see her aunt and grandmother.

"Well, but don't worry, how could your grandfather and your father agree. Your father just has a drop of blood on you, and he wants to take care of you by his side. He Shi hurriedly said, "By the way, after she lets you get married, let your father continue the string." ”

Qingqing was stunned for a moment, frowned, and didn't answer. My father is only thirty-two years old, and he has been a widower for ten years, so it is normal to remarry, but she never thought that she would have the problem of a stepmother until now, and she really didn't know what to say for a while.

I still can't help but think that the old lady is locked up in that mansion, and it can be seen from the conversation with my father yesterday that my father doesn't know what happened to the Lin family, if the Lin family loses as she thinks, where will the old lady go to find someone to be the groom for herself?

But she didn't have time to think about it, because the rest of the time was in the lively He family, and she didn't even have time to be shy.

The He family opened a small restaurant in Kaifeng, specializing in noodles. At the beginning, the old man told the matchmaker that he wanted to marry someone who could cook, but how could the matchmaker think that the daughter of the restaurant family couldn't cook?

Otherwise, how could Mrs. He send food to Qiao's family if she was fine. I really feel so sorry for my in-laws.

The old man of the He family passed away the year before last, so now the shop is run by He's brother and sister-in-law, but Mrs. He is also a good word at home, otherwise, if there is a sister-in-law, the old lady can still live so casually.

When they arrived at He's house, Mrs. He was also familiar with Qingqing, although Qingqing was still shy in He's house, but with He's family, she wouldn't even be able to speak.

The third generation of the He family has a daughter and a boy, and the daughter Xiaoice was born in winter, and it was the frost when she was born, and the water tank outside the door was frozen, so Old Man He gave the name to his newly born granddaughter.

Xiaoice was ten years old, brought up by the old lady, the old lady may see her own failure in her daughter, so she carefully taught her granddaughter from an early age, and in cooking alone, Xiaoice is more than one rank higher than He's.

So Xiaoice saw his aunt and his sister come together to learn to make noodles, he was very puzzled, in his thinking, does this still need to be learned?

But when Qingqing put on the anti-coat, he took out a pen and paper and looked at them nervously.

"What is she doing?" Old Mrs. He was much younger and healthier than Old Mrs. Qiao, and looked at Qingqing's tight little face and turned to her daughter.

"We are young people who can read and write, and we can also draw, and she will record everything she does. Looking back, she doesn't care if she learns it or not, the recipe must be the most complete. He knew his niece very well and said busily.

"Why remember?" Xiaoice was even more at a loss, mainly because she felt that this still needed to be remembered?

"I'm stupid!" Qingqing's face flushed, and he whispered.

"See, it's stupid to read." Mrs. He said to her granddaughter.

Xiaoice didn't dare to say this, and smiled tolerantly at Qingqing, "Sister don't need to be like this, it's very easy to cook." ”

Qingqing looked at He, made a smile that was uglier than crying, and honestly learned to make noodles under the teaching of the old lady and Xiaoice.

Qingqing didn't dare to say that she would definitely be able to learn, but she took out the ability to collect evidence, and used her small book to teach the old lady every step, and tried her best to have a picture and the truth.

However, she seriously doubted that even if she had written it down, she would be able to make a successful copy.

Of course, the kung fu she recorded stunned Xiaoice,

"Sister, you draw it like you!" Xiaoice can't read, but the dough, noodles, and soup at each step are really too similar.

"Awesome, right? Qingqing's handwriting is also well-written, I heard Xianggong say what kind of body is this? He also doesn't know how to read, but I heard He Ermeng say it once, and now I can't remember it.

"Second aunt!" Qingqing is a little embarrassed, she has heard Old Mrs. He say that reading is useless more than once, He and Xiaoice do not know words, and now they say that they write well, doesn't it make Old Mrs. When?

"Mother, look at it, if we have a recipe in our family, there will be heirlooms when we look back, and it will be passed down from generation to generation, and it will be this taste!" He snorted, she also wanted to read with her brother when she was young, but her parents didn't allow it, and she had to find it back this time.

"Oh, I'm done, I'm done, I'll go back and order, send Xiaoice!" Qingqing said hurriedly.

The old lady took a few pages of paper, and even though she couldn't read, she could understand the main process of today's noodles from the small pictures on the side of her words.

"You also learned to draw from books?" The old lady looked at Qingqing.

"I like to draw, it's not too difficult to learn." Qingqing's handling of the case for the Yamen is absolutely confidential, and the He family will not tell his mother's family about it.

"That's also because she reads well, so it's easy to learn anything." Ho yelled at his mother.

"Again, do you keep accounts? If you can, teach Xiaoice! The old lady looked at Qingqing busily.

"No, but I can teach her simple literacy, as long as she is literate, she can ask her uncle to teach her bookkeeping!" Qingqing was embarrassed, she really hadn't learned this bookkeeping.

"Also, Xiaoice, in the future, my sister will come, you and your sister will learn to read and write, you can't come back from the recipe, you don't even know the words on it, right?" The old lady nodded.

"Eccentric eyes!" Ho snorted.

"You're married, what do you want to learn, can I still manage you?" The old lady gave her daughter a roll of the eyes, turned to Qingqing, and smiled at her, "But Qingqing is very well taught." ”

Qingqing blushed, she didn't dare to mention the old lady's disapproval of her literacy before.

Xiaoice was stunned for a while, after all, she was much younger than Qingqing, just now her grandmother was still saying that her sister was stupid to read, and now she actually let herself study with her sister, what's wrong?

Qingqing gently touched her forehead, successfully stopping her from asking questions.

Mrs. He was even more satisfied with Qingqing, and glanced back again, "It seems that you have to study, look at you, you are really stupid and stupid like a pig!" ”

He was really so angry that he was about to jump to his feet, so he almost didn't pull Qingqing home quickly.

Qingqing studied hard in the mutual abuse between He and Mrs. He for a day. But she didn't know how much she had learned, and her ears were still ringing when she came home at night anyway.
