Chapter 112: Sharing Knowledge
Ying Sisi couldn't speak from embarrassment.
Qin Yanci said calmly, “Hello, Auntie. We just got back from outside. You just got off work?”
“Yes. Things have been very busy at work lately. Your dad said you were studying at home to prepare for the college entrance exam. How's your studying going?”
“So-so.” Qin Yanci said.
“Then why not just get a stable job? You've worked for ten years. You have a lot of advantages when it comes to choosing your career path.” The neighbor advised him like an elder.
Qin Yanci nodded perfunctorily. “I'll consider it.”
The three of them went upstairs together.
They each went home.
After closing the door, Sisi took off her hat and scarf.
Qin Yanci looked at her. “Why is your hair wet?”
Ying Sisi just realized that she was sweating profusely. If I tell him this, it'll just make another person angry and it'll affect his mood and hinder his studying. She decided to handle it herself. “I went back to my parents' house to get something. I was riding my bike and got hot. I'm going to take a shower.”
Qin Yanci said, “Did you eat dinner?”
“Not yet. What about you?”
“I haven't either.”
Sisi stopped in her tracks. “Then let's eat first and then I'll wash up.” She went to the kitchen to knead some dough.
Qin Yanci came over to help. “Making noodles? I'll wash the vegetables?”
“You wash them. Cut some green onions and ginger. I'm making dumpling soup. It's easy.” Sisi finished kneading the batter.
She heated oil in a pot, added ginger slices to the pot and sautéed them until fragrant. She poured in the water and covered the pot. She turned up the heat. When the water boiled, she used a spoon to scoop up the batter and put it into the pot. She cooked it until it changed color, then added beaten eggs, green vegetables, and simmered until it was cooked.
The dumpling soup was soft and smooth.
The green vegetables had a hint of their original sweetness.
Qin Yanci loved it. “Who did you learn to cook from?” You almost never fail when you cook.
“The chef at the village for weddings and funerals. I didn't really learn, I just watched and then I knew how to do it.” Sisi said.
I can't sit still.
When I don't have farm work, I go around.
If I want to learn something, I can learn it.
My grandpa and grandma said that except for being smart, I don't resemble my mom at all.
My mom is quiet.
But I'm active.
It's like I have endless energy.
Grandma Courtesan said that I'm strong. I take after my dad.
But my dad doesn't look strong. I don't know what Mom was thinking. How could she fall for him?
Anyway, I wouldn't be caught dead with him.
If Qin Yanci becomes like that in the future, I'll kick him to the curb.
“Eat quickly. Finish eating and get some rest.” Sisi said.
Qin Yanci's eyes darkened. “Rest? Are you okay?”
I don't want to live like a monk for another day.
Ying Sisi's cheeks flushed. “I'm not okay. My body is still a bit sore.” Especially after being scared on the road, I don't have the mood. She negotiated. “A-Ci, I thought about it. If we stay stuck together like this, it'll affect your studying in the long run. How about this? We'll be together at the beginning, middle, and end of the month.”
Qin Yanci suddenly became conflicted. He almost forgot about that person.
The last time he tricked that person into a hotel room, that won't work next time.
And if he disappears at the beginning of the month, my wife won't know what's going on and she'll be worried. She'll be anxious to find out and hear some bad rumors. What if she's scared?
But if I let that person meet her, what if he takes advantage of her? Wouldn't that make me a cuckold?
I can't let that person be alone with my wife!
There's a math competition at the beginning of next month. My father connected me with a tutor who recommended I participate. Originally, I was going to focus on the unified entrance exam and not sign up, but now I see that I have to.
Our memories are not connected, but our knowledge is shared.
I'll study hard for a while and try to keep that person on the competition field.
After the competition is over, I'll just switch back.
He agreed first. “Okay.”
Sisi was a bit surprised. He's pretty easy to talk to.
