Chapter 20 Not an Enemy
Although it was a very serious matter, Mrs. Wang couldn't help laughing out loud.

This is not the way a couple without love would behave.

I guess there really is a misunderstanding.

Just mediate and it will be fine.

The leader looked at Jiang Zhixun with a teasing look and shook his head helplessly.

This guy didn't speak nicely, he deserved to be scolded by his wife!
Jiang Zhixun was so embarrassed that his scalp was numb, but he didn't know how to refute Shen Qingqing.

In the end, he concluded that his kindness was taken for granted.

Shen Qingqing lowered her eyes, embarrassed to look at the expressions of Mrs. Wang and the others.

"Xiao Shen, your hand is injured? I heard that you were receiving IV drips in the hospital. We thought it was due to acclimatization and the cold weather, so you caught a cold."

Mrs. Wang asked Shen Qingqing to sit in the living room and rest. "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. You should take good care of it."

Shen Qingqing felt embarrassed to come to the house empty-handed.

How can I just sit and wait for food?

And after applying the ointment and resting for two days, it actually didn't hurt that much anymore.

"I took an X-ray at the hospital that day. No bones were broken. It won't affect your normal life. Don't listen to his nonsense."

Jiang Zhixun was unhappy again, "I'm talking nonsense?"

Shen Qingqing ignored him and only left him with a full-boned back of her head.

The man's face darkened again.

If there weren't outsiders present, he would have criticized Shen Qingqing.

Jiang Zhixun turned around and continued chopping the meat without even looking at Shen Qingqing.

Mrs. Wang was very surprised.

Xiao Jiang is calm and steady in his work, but he also has such a childish side!
Shen Qingqing said: "Sister-in-law, I can make dumplings, just leave the task to me."

As she spoke, she went to wash her hands.

Mrs. Wang quickly followed and asked, "How can we let the guests cook?"

When in Beijing, Shen Qingqing and her colleagues also went to the leader's home for dinner.

At that time, we all made dumplings together, talked about work, and talked about our student days... It was very interesting.

"Sister-in-law, if you don't let me do anything, I won't dare to come to dinner next time."

Mrs. Wang also felt that her words were a bit awkward.

She changed her tone, "Then I'll be responsible for kneading the dough, which requires strength. Once the dumpling wrappers are rolled out, you can help wrap them."

Shen Qingqing nodded. "Do you want any dishes to go with the mutton? I'll wash it."

Using only mutton as the filling will not make the flavor rich, the texture poor, and it will also waste a lot of meat.

Mrs. Wang took out a large cabbage and said, "Go with this."

Then he brought Shen Qingqing a ceramic basin and asked her to pick the vegetables and put them in it.

"I invited you to dinner and even asked you to do it. I apologize for the poor hospitality, Xiao Shen."

Rather than sitting in the living room, Shen Qingqing would rather work, at least she wouldn't be embarrassed.

"They're just little things. They're not tiring. Moving your body will keep you warm."

Mrs. Wang lives in a bungalow with a small yard at the door and a water pipe.

Shen Qingqing took the basin and vegetables outside to wash them.

One is that I want to stay away from Jiang Zhixun.

Secondly, there is no dedicated sink in the kitchen, and the outside is spacious to avoid dirtying the kitchen floor.

Holding the basin, Shen Qingqing walked out without looking back.

Mrs. Wang criticized Jiang Zhixun, "You clearly care about your wife, why can't you say it in a nicer way? Now you've pissed her off, and she doesn't even look at you, and you're happy?"

From where Jiang Zhixun was standing, he could see the scene in the yard by just looking up.

Shen Qingqing pulled up the hem of her coat and held it with her knees to prevent it from dragging on the ground.

He rolled up his sleeves again and turned on the faucet.

She was fetching water and picking vegetables at the same time, doing it very skillfully. Jiang Zhixun retracted his gaze, "She has the eyes. Whether she looks or not is her business."

"We used to think that Xiao Shen was unhappy because you weren't home, and we wanted to persuade her. But now my sister-in-law has realized that there's nothing wrong with Xiao Shen, but you are the problem."

Jiang Zhixun stopped talking again.

Mrs. Wang was very disappointed and asked, "Do you still want to live a good life with Xiao Shen?"

"It's good like this now."

Jiang Zhixun's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be being stubborn.

He really felt that way.

Mrs. Wang was puzzled, "You are not young anymore, don't you want a child?"

Jiang Zhixun has heard the topic of having children countless times, and his ears are almost callused.

The hand chopping the meat paused.

"Not in a hurry."

If you don't refuse it outright, it means you have this idea.

Since you have plans, it means you want to live a good life.

Mrs. Wang sighed, "It's not necessary for your wife to join the army, but you need to change the way you get along with each other. How can you two keep quarreling? They're not enemies."

Jiang Zhixun responded nonchalantly, and Mrs. Wang didn't know whether he took her words to heart.

"No matter what misunderstandings there are between you, your wife has taken the first step by coming all the way here. She's shy, so you can't let her take the initiative in everything. If you adjust your attitude and cater to her, those knots will naturally disappear."

"Sister-in-law, I know what's going on."

Sister-in-law Wang sighed, "If you really know what's going on, you should spend more time with Xiao Shen. You let her live in the guesthouse by herself and don't even eat with her. She has nowhere to go and no one to talk to, so she just stays in that little room. Sister-in-law, I don't know how you feel, but when I went to the guesthouse, I saw her all alone, and it made me feel bad."

As a woman herself, Mrs. Wang puts herself in their shoes.

If she travels a long way to find her man and he still ignores her, she will definitely feel aggrieved.

Jiang Zhixun looked up and out the window again.

While they were talking, Shen Qingqing had already picked the vegetables and was washing them.

Maybe the water was too cold, or maybe her skin was too white, which made her hands look red.

Jiang Zhixun put down the kitchen knife, turned around and walked out, but Mrs. Wang hadn't finished speaking.

"Will this kid get angry because of what I said?"

The leader knew Jiang Zhixun's character, but he couldn't say for sure when it came to the couple's marriage.

The food for the guests was laid out, including peanuts, melon seeds, candies and apples.

And two cups of hot tea.

"I'll go and see. If this guy dares to leave without saying a word, I'll show you how I'll criticize him..."

Before he could move his feet, he saw Jiang Zhixun striding in with a dish in his hand.

Comrade Xiao Shen was left behind by him.

Jiang Zhixun brought the vegetables into the kitchen and said, "After you chop the meat, I'll cut it."

Mrs. Wang came back to her senses and asked Shen Qingqing to sit in the living room. "I haven't kneaded the dough yet. Please sit down and have a cup of hot tea first."

Shen Qingqing rubbed her stiff hands and said, "Then I'll take a break."

Sitting in the seat where Jiang Zhixun had sat before, at the leader's signal, she picked up the cup of hot tea that belonged to her and covered her hands.

Sister Wang really likes Shen Qingqing.

He knows when to advance and when to retreat, and speaks in a way that makes people feel comfortable, neither too distant nor too enthusiastic.

What a great lesbian!
"Xiao Jiang, you must seize the opportunity."

Jiang Zhixun was upset by what he said, and he also knew that Shen Qingqing was not suitable for this place.

She should be in Beijing.

There was her career and her friends.

Instead of being here and focusing all your attention on him.
