Zhuang Qingsui scratched her nose with a hint of awkwardness.

Kids, are inevitably playful, especially with such a lively companion at home, it’s hard to avoid being distracted.

Zhuang Qingning understood, she reached out and pinched Zhuang Qingsui’s nose, “You should be more careful in the future. If you want to be a teacher, you should work hard from now on, so you can fulfill your dreams and goals in the future.”

“I get it. I’ll definitely pay more attention.” Zhuang Qingsui stood upright, even going as far as to nod seriously.

“That’s good.” Zhuang Qingning chuckled, pulling out the neatly folded handkerchief from her lap, “Here, Sister Qiuying gave this to you. She said she embroidered it herself.”

“Let me see.”

Zhuang Qingsui impatiently took it over, looking at it over and over, her excitement made her nostrils red. “Qiuying is really skilled, the flowers she embroidered are so pretty.”

“Speaking of which, it’s been a while since I last saw Qiuying. I miss her very much, I’m sure she also misses me a lot.”

Which is why Qiuying specially sent a handkerchief to her, and asked Zhuang Qingning to bring it back.

“I’ll take you to town with me on your rest day, so that you two could have a nice chat.” Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.

“Sister is the best.” Zhuang Qingsui jumped joyfully, lunged forward and wrapped her arms around Zhuang Qingning’s neck, even kissing her cheek with a “mwah” sound.

This affectionate action made Zhuang Qingning feel very comfortable, especially seeing Zhuang Qingsui’s happy, glowing eyes was like a warm spring in her heart.

For the first time, she thought crossing over wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

[Please don’t forget about me, host! I’ve been working tirelessly to help you reach your life’s peak!]

Apparently, the inevitable self-promotion from ‘Five’ never stops!

Zhuang Qingning, feeling rather helpless, wanted to roll her eyes but decided against it. Instead, she squinted and laughed, giving ‘Five’ some well-deserved praise.

After being praised, ‘Five’ was overjoyed and expressed its heartfelt gratitude again before it slowly left.

It was getting late and Zhuang Qingning decided to prepare dinner, asking Qingsui what she wanted to eat.

Zhuang Qingsui suddenly smacked her forehead, “I almost forgot about dinner until you mentioned it. Before you came home, Sister Zhou came over and invited us to join the family dinner at Aunt Wen’s house tonight. She said they caught a big carp and Sister Zhou’s going to make sweet and sour fish.”

“Since you weren’t here, I accepted the invitation on both of our behalf and said we’d definitely come. The time’s getting on, let’s get ready and head over.”

They were both close to Aunt Wen’s family, so there was no need to turn down the invitation. Zhuang Qingning washed her hands and together with Zhuang Qingsui, they both left the house, also bringing a piece of marinated pork liver that Zhang Yongchang had generously given her on her visit to town earlier today.

Pork liver is believed to be good for the eyes. The marinated pork liver tastes great when served chilled or stir-fried, making it a perfect dish for the hot summer days.

“Here’s Ning, come and take a seat.” Mrs. Han had already set the table in the courtyard and was getting the chopsticks and bowls ready. “We were just saying that if you don’t come soon, we would have Daya come look for you. It’s just as well that you’ve arrived.”

We specifically timed our arrival to match dinner time, so you didn’t have to wait.” Zhuang Qingning joked as she took out the pork liver, “I’ll go to the kitchen and prepare this pork liver. We’re having an extra dish tonight. This is specially made by chef Zhang, it tastes great.”

Last time when she prepared food, though Mrs. Han and Zhou Daya were not there, Mrs. Wen tasted Zhang Yongchang’s cooking. After hearing Zhuang Qingning’s words, she agreed, “This definitely would be delicious. Add some green onions would be nice.”

“That’s right, we still have plenty of century eggs you brought the last time. Prepare one dish with them, to go with the sweet and sour fish and cucumber salad. That’d be enough for dinner.”

“Alright,” Zhuang Qingning agreed, telling Zhuang Qingsui to help with the table and entered the kitchen to prepare the two salads.

In the kitchen, Zhou Daya was extinguishing the fire in the stove. When she

saw Zhuang Qingning, she gave her a grin, “Little Sister Ning.”

“Sister Zhou.” Zhuang Qingning responded with a smile, then took up the knife and quickly sliced the pork liver.

Zhou Daya went out to serve the sweet and sour fish, then came back to scoop up the rice porridge. She also helped Zhuang Qingning with the salad, placing it on a plate.

Once everything was ready, the five of them sat around the table for dinner.

The sweet and sour fish tasted nice. Most importantly, the fish was fresh.

“Sister Zhou’s culinary skills are really top-notch.” Zhuang Qingning heaped praise on Zhou Daya.

“Isn’t that so, her skills are way better than her grandmother’s.” Mrs. Wen agreed with a nod.

Mrs. Han and Mrs. Wen were used to their daily bickering. Mrs. Han brushed it off and simply turned her face away, enjoying her century egg.

Meanwhile, Zhou Daya blushed at the compliment, “The main reason is that the fish was fresh. It was still alive when it was delivered.”

“That’s right, what’s the name of the one who delivered the fish? He seems familiar. He’s a man who knows how to repay kindness.” Mrs. Han gave a slight nod, “It’s very thoughtful.”

“It was delivered by Brother Sifu.” Zhou Daya grinned, “The fish is thanks to Aunt Wen. Brother Sifu said it was to show his appreciation for Aunt Wen’s care during this time, so he specially sent it as a token of respect.”

“Speaking of which, a few days ago, Brother Sifu also sent some river shrimps. At that time, I made fried shrimps, but unfortunately, I didn’t control the heat properly, and the shrimps got burnt. What a waste of such good shrimps.”

It was Zhuang Sifu who had sent it.

Zhuang Qingning blinked.

It seems that Zhuang Sifu has indeed got feelings for Zhou Daya. He keeps finding ways to send things over, touting it as gifts for Mrs. Wen, with the flimsy reason that Mrs. Wen took good care of him.

When did Mrs. Wen ever take care of him?

In fact, Zhuang Qingning remembered that due to some trivial matter, Mrs.

Wen once criticized the Sifu family for their dishonesty, and many people in the village remember this clearly.

The reason Zhuang Sifu fabricated is just a cover-up to fool Mrs. Han and Zhou Daya, who are unaware of the village’s past.

Nevertheless, Mrs. Wen must be aware of this, and probably knows Zhuang Sifu’s real intention. However, she chose not to reveal it, which is quite rare.

Or perhaps it’s because Mrs. Wen is looking favorably on the match between Zhuang Sifu and Zhou Daya?

Zhuang Qingning glanced at Mrs. Wen and couldn’t help but smile. Afraid of being caught, she used her rice bowl as a cover.

Unfortunately, joy cannot be concealed. Even if you cover your mouth, it will spring from your eyes. Moreover, when Zhuang Qingning smiles, her eyebrows curve to form a beautiful arc, which is impossible to hide.

As expected, Mrs. Wen saw it all.. She glanced at Zhuang Qingning from the corner of her eye, “What are you looking at, girl? Are there flowers on my face?”
