Chapter 354 4 Eating melons in the courtyard (26)
Wen Nuan was watching the show with great interest, and while watching she lamented to her son that poor Wen Xiaoxiao had gone to school and missed this classic scene!
Because the steel mill hadn't closed yet, several old men hadn't returned yet.
Under the persuasion of Auntie One, Auntie Two and several other aunties,
Xu Damao and Sha Zhu stopped talking for the time being, waiting for the whole institute meeting in the evening to make things clear.
Seeing the excitement fade away,
Wen Nuan hurried home to cook.
There's a big show tonight, so you have to eat early and don't miss it!
Just when Wen Nuan was about to finish the meal,
"Aunt, I'm back!"
It’s Wen Xiaoxiao’s voice!
"Xiaoxiao? Why are you back?"
Wen Nuan looked at Wen Xiaoxiao in surprise, who should also be at school.
Wen Xiaoxiao closed the door, moved closer to Wen Nuan, winked and whispered, "Didn't Bai Tuanzi tell me that there was something exciting tonight and the plot officially started, so I quickly asked the teacher for leave and came back!"
Wen Nuan looked at her excited daughter in silence. Is it really that serious? She even took a special leave just for the fun.
Wen Xiaoxiao, to the point! Very to the point!
"Forget it, just come back. I just made dinner. Your dad is working overtime tonight, so let's eat first. I guess the show will start soon!" Wen Nuan said quickly as she opened the lid of the pot.
"Okay, Mom, I'll help you!" Wen Xiaoxiao hurried forward to help, "By the way, Mom, when I walked in just now, I saw Qin Huairu going to Sha Zhu's house."
Wen Nuan said as she shoveled out the vegetables, "Maybe he knew that his three little kids stole the chicken and went to find Sha Zhu to take the blame!"
Wen Xiaoxiao put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and nodded, "Yeah, I think so too!"
"It turns out that this silly Zhu is really deeply in love with Qin Huairu!"
The mother and daughter ate their meal quickly while discussing gossip in low voices.
In less than half an hour, the two were full.
Quickly cleared the dishes.
The two of them took their small stools and sat at the door waiting for the whole school meeting to begin!
7pm,
Almost every family in the courtyard had eaten their fill, and the Yan family kid also came to notify everyone to attend a meeting.
Wen Nuan and Wen Xiaoxiao brushed off the melon seed shells on their bodies and carried their stools to the center of the yard.
The meeting was presided over by the first uncle, and the second and third uncles sang in unison.
He Yuzhu originally wanted to deny the fact that he stole the chicken.
However, thinking of Qin Huairu's tearful look at home just now, he had to admit that he had stolen the chicken from Xu Damao's house.
The old man knew Sha Zhu's character and believed he would never do such a thing, so he asked him if there was any other hidden story.
Sha Zhu is no longer stupid now. He tells everyone that it was because Xu Damao falsely accused him of having an ambiguous relationship with Qin Huairu that he resorted to this desperate measure in order to get revenge on Xu Damao.
From this perspective, it seems understandable that Sha Zhu stole the chicken, and the old man warned everyone not to do it again.
Xu Damao refused to give in and insisted that Sha Zhu pay compensation. In the end, it was decided that Xu Damao should take the chicken soup away and Sha Zhu should pay another five yuan.
You have to know that in that era, five yuan was a family's food ration for a month, and Sha Zhu's monthly salary was only thirty-seven and a half yuan.
Sha Zhu took such a big blame for her. Qin Huairu thanked Sha Zhu again and again and promised to introduce her cousin to Sha Zhu.
Sha Zhu then went home happily, took out the few remaining peanuts, and drank them with a little wine, enjoying them very much.
Wen Nuan and Wen Xiaoxiao were very satisfied watching the show tonight!
The mother and daughter returned home with the stool, still unsatisfied.
"Hey, Mom, did you hear what Qin Huairu said to Sha Zhu just now?"
Wen Xiaoxiao's cultivation is still shallow, and her hearing is far not as good as Wen Nuan's. She can still hear some movements within five meters, but beyond five meters, she can hear nothing.
"Oh, Qin Jingru is about to appear. Qin Huairu told Sha Zhu that she would introduce her cousin Qin Jingru to Sha Zhu tomorrow!" Wen Nuan said with a pursed mouth.
My mouth is so dry after eating melon seeds for so long!
"Oh, that's right, it's Qin Jingru's turn to appear. Oh, it's a pity that I can't take a leave tomorrow. I won't see that little country girl Qin Jingru!" Wen Xiaoxiao said regretfully.
"Okay, go to bed quickly. It's so late and you have to go to school early tomorrow morning!" Wen Nuan interrupted her regretful daughter.
Wen Xiaoxiao wailed, "Why do I, a graduate student with a master's and doctoral degree, have to go back to high school?"
Wen Nuan raised her eyebrows and said with a wicked smile, "Who told you to be 16 years old now!"
"what!"
Wen Xiaoxiao wailed again, then went back to her room in the front yard dejectedly to sleep.
