Chapter 157：

Qin Lingling's cooking is all homely meals, a boiled fish, a tomato scrambled egg, green vegetables, bone broth, and cold dishes.

Qin Lingling made two cold dishes, one is cold cucumber and the other is lotus root.

Qiao Ju was helpful, and Shen Manman sat in the living room for a while before coming in to help peel garlic and wash vegetables.

Fearing that they can't eat spicy food, she puts very few peppers.

"Your spouse is now in the provincial capital?" Shen Manman asked curiously while peeling garlic.

Qin Lingling nodded, "Well, it's like this."

"That's good, there is no need to separate the two places."

Qiao Ju happily said, "So you and Company Captain Gu can meet every day."

Qin Lingling smiled helplessly: "That's not so good. There will be more opportunities to see than in the army. He has a relatively stable job now. There are Sundays and holidays. The school also has holidays, so you can see him. , But under normal circumstances, I will still be in school."

"Then are you still living in school?" Shen Manman asked again.

Qin Lingling was stunned, and then said: "It should be run on both sides, after all, this is not far from our school, and it is not too close to say that it is too close. Sometimes it is busy and it is at school."

"Oh."

Seeing Shen Manman asking herself so much, Qin Lingling was also curious about Shen Manman and said: "Do you know Brother Yang Feng?"

"Who is Yang Feng?" Shen Manman asked rhetorically.

Qin Lingling was taken aback, pointing outside and said: "The person who spoke to you just now!"

Shen Manman suddenly realized, "Oh, he, I am not familiar with him, but my brother seems to know him, I haven't seen him very much, so I don't know."

"Oh, I think you talked well, I thought I knew each other."

Three women inside the house were busy, and four men sitting outside.

Originally, I wanted to call the old man and the old lady over today, but the road is not too close. The old man just happened to have other things today, so I can’t say to eat, let their young people stay busy, and wait for Qin Lingling and the others to go next time. Zhang family, let's have a casual meal for the whole family.

Zhang Ruimin is talkative, and so is Yang Feng, and Zhang Ruixin has been stuck in the crowd, and he is also handy in speaking and doing things, so the atmosphere in this living room is pretty good.

While the woman was cooking, Yang Feng suggested walking around. The men had no objection and went out in a noisy manner.

Yang Feng is very familiar with this neighborhood, and he did not introduce it to a few men less. Gu Zheng has also been here many times, and he is quite familiar with it. Generally speaking, he can occasionally insert a few words.

Suddenly outside quieted down, Qin Lingling in the kitchen was taken aback, "Are you all out?"

Qiao Ju nodded: "Speak out and turn around, and I'll be back later."

Qin Lingling first cooked the boiled fish, then scrambled eggs with tomatoes, mixed the cold vegetables, and finally cooked a green vegetable.

The four men have returned before they are cooked.

Qin Lingling shouted outside, "It's time to prepare dinner, Gu Zheng come in and help!"

As soon as Qin Lingling finished speaking, Gu Zheng was already there to help.

Qiao Ju and Shen Manman secretly said, Qin Lingling, this man, is really obedient! Envy.

When the food was put on the table, seven people filled a round table.

Qin Lingling and Gu Zheng greeted everyone and started eating.

Yang Feng looked at the cucumbers stained with red oil and the lotus root slices with white sesame seeds, and asked, "What is this?"

"Cold salad, cold lotus root and cold cucumber, mixed with old vinegar and chili oil, plus some sugar, you can try it."

"Well, yes."

Qin Lingling didn't dare to put too much chili in the cold dressing, and the chili in the chili oil made by herself was not particularly spicy.

But even so, they blushed with spicy food.

Gu Zheng has been eating chili for a long time. Now it is quite spicy. It is not as exaggerated as Yang Feng's. The whole person kept exhaling and said, "It's so spicy and so spicy."

Spicy is one thing, but cucumbers and lotus roots are crispy, with vinegar added, and they are appetizing. Everyone loves them even if they are spicy.

At the dinner table, everyone picks up dishes and talks, and gradually, even people who are unfamiliar will become familiar with the meal.

After eating enough, everyone sat for a while, digesting their food.

Qin Lingling and Gu Zheng cut the watermelon they bought before in the kitchen.

At this moment, there was a sound outside.

"Lingling?"

Hearing the voice, Qin Lingling quickly put down the knife in her hand and said to Gu Zheng: "It's sister Hui who is here."

In fact, Qin Lingling also called He Yuehui to come over today, but the other party said that she was busy recently and shouldn't have time to come over.

Unexpectedly, people are here again now.

She told Gu Zheng to continue cutting the watermelon, but she hurried out.

I saw He Yuehui walking outside carrying watermelons and bananas.

"Sister Hui, why are you here?" Qin Lingling hurriedly greeted her.

The other party smiled and said, "Why, don't you welcome me?"

"No, no, I heard you say you are not free before, I thought you were not coming."

"This is not the end of the busy schedule. I just passed this neighborhood and inquired about your place, but I found it. Here, the gift I brought you can also be regarded as congratulations on moving to your new home."

Qin Lingling smiled and said, "We just rented it."

"That also means it."

She sat down, and Gu Zheng just came out carrying the watermelon, and saw a young man who didn't know him, with dark skin, steady pace, and the righteousness of a soldier. He Yuehui guessed that this man was Qin Lingling's husband.

"Is this brother-in-law?" He Yuehui asked directly and unceremoniously.

He Yuehui saw Gu Zheng for the first time. He had met Qin Lingling many times before, but had never seen Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng didn't admit the birth, and nodded in response: "Well, I am Lingling's husband. Are you Sister Hui? Lingling mentioned me to me."

"Oh?" He Yuehui looked at Qin Lingling.

Qin Lingling explained, "Sister Hui you helped me a lot before, and I mentioned to him that you are a great benefactor to our family anyway."

"The benefactor doesn't dare to be, so he will treat you like a younger sister."

He Yuehui exchanged greetings and greeted the people in the room again.

In this room, except for Shen Manman, everyone else knew He Yuehui.

I heard that she was a classmate of Qin Lingling University, and He Yuehui also kindly called herself her sister.

A room of people sitting, chatting, talking, eating watermelon, and then leaving one by one.

After everyone left, Qin Lingling and Gu Zheng cleaned up the house together.

Gu Zheng took the initiative to ask Ying to wash the dishes and chopsticks. The husband and wife were busy inside and out, and it was even more flavorful.

After finishing her work, Qin Lingling suggested: “Let’s go around, there are still a lot of things missing at home, so I bought them, and I will start school in two days.”

"Well, yes."

Provincial cities are more prosperous than small local towns. You have to choose something. There are many streets. The couple went around and bought almost everything they needed.

It was a bit hot. When passing a shop, Gu Zheng asked Qin Lingling to wait.

"What's wrong?" Qin Linglinghu asked.

I saw Gu Zheng walking towards the shop and asked the boss for a popsicle and a box of ice cream.

Gu Zheng gave the ice cream to Qin Lingling, and he asked for the ice lollies.

Popsicles are cheap, only one third of one, but ice cream is three times the price of popsicles and sold for a dime.

Qin Lingling looked at the ice cream he handed over and couldn't help wondering: "Why did you buy it so expensive for me, and why did you buy it so cheap?"

"fine……"

"Don't save this money, let's change to ice cream?" Before Gu Zheng finished speaking, Qin Lingling directly took the unopened popsicle in his hand and handed it back to the boss, asking him to replace it with ice cream.

Gu Zheng took it with a helpless look, and only heard Qin Lingling say: "Don't worry, we still have some money. Why save this? It's better to eat the same as me."

Gu Zheng nodded, feeling that what the daughter-in-law said also made sense.

But in fact, the reason why he bought popsicles is because they are mung bean popsicles, which he likes to eat...

Forget it, look at the ice cream his wife so kindly put on him, then eat ice cream, ice cream is also good.

The two of them walked back while eating ice cream. It was much cooler at the moment when the weather was particularly hot before.

At night, it was the first time the two lived in the new rented house.

After a busy day, Qin Lingling stopped early.

When he woke up the next day, Gu Zheng's biological clock would always wake up early, this time doing some ordinary training outside the yard.

When Qin Lingling came out rubbing his eyes, he finished training and asked, "What kind of breakfast do you want? I will make it for you?"

Qin Lingling shook her head, "Don't do it? Let's go out to eat? I know that there is a lean meat porridge that is very delicious, and their fried dough sticks. Let's go and eat. Although it is a bit far away, we have bicycles."

"Well, good. Whatever the daughter-in-law says is fine." Gu Zheng said.

Qin Lingling also said that the happiest thing she thinks about getting up in the morning is that she can go out and buy all kinds of breakfast she wants to eat, freeing her hands.

Gu Zheng directly promised: "Then we won't cook anymore. Whatever you want to eat, I will buy it for you. I don't need to cook in the future. I will work hard to earn money, and I will be able to invite you a babysitter home in the future. , You don’t have to cook."

Qin Lingling might not believe other people's promises, but Gu Zheng promised, she believed every word.

"Okay, I remember what you said."

The breakfast point Qin Lingling said was a bit far away. The two rode bicycles to go there. It took ten to twenty minutes. They were closer to the school, but farther away from their rented house.

When I arrived, many people were already eating in the breakfast shop.

The two put their bicycles away before they walked in.

Qin Lingling introduced to Gu Zheng that this breakfast shop was brought by other students to eat, and after that, she also packed it. The breakfast looked ordinary but delicious.

There are already many people lined up at the place to order.

Qin Lingling asked Gu Zheng to find a seat and sit down first, queuing herself, she knew better what was delicious here.

Of course, when Gu Zheng was about to leave, she still asked, "What do you like better, and what does this store have written on it?"

Qin Lingling pointed to the plaque on the top of her head, on it were the items written by the store, and the price was also written on it, clearly marked with the price.

Gu Zheng took a look and said, "I can do anything. I like it if you think it tastes delicious."

"All right, poor mouth."

Because there are so many delicious things in the store, Qin Lingling ordered them all in one breath.

Lean meat porridge, fried dough sticks, sesame-wrapped egg, lotus paste in it, and soy milk.

Lean meat porridge is a big bowl of the kind. People nowadays are more sincere in business. There is a big bowl of everything, and there is a lot of lean meat in it, plus chopped green onions.

Although there are a lot of points eastward, they can handle Gu Zheng's big appetite.

And Qin Lingling had a lot of appetite today. She ate a bowl of lean meat porridge, a fried dough stick, and a bowl of soy milk. If she couldn't eat the rest, she gave it to Gu Zheng.

When the two came out of the breakfast shop, they were struggling to eat.

Qin Lingling had to be cautious when she started walking, for fear of bumping her stomach, she took Gu Zheng's hand and said to walk slowly, take a walk, and digest.

At noon, they have to go to Zhang's house. They said before that they will go back today to accompany the two elderly people to dinner.

I just didn't expect to see someone from afar before arriving at Zhang's house.

Qin Lingling's foster mother!

Not only Zhang Hua, but also Qin Lingling's biological father.

Qin Lingling probably never expected that she would see Zhang Hua again and also meet the original father's biological father.

When the two saw Qin Lingling, they rushed over and shouted pitifully, "Lingling..."

Qin Lingling stepped back subconsciously, and Gu Zheng stopped in front, blocking the two of them from moving forward.

"What are you going to do?" Gu Zheng asked.

He hadn't seen Zhang Hua and Qin Lingling's biological father yet, and at the moment it was only a stranger who stopped him.

Father Qin hurriedly shouted: "Lingling, Lingling, I am your father, don't you recognize me?"

The other party wanted to get closer, but Qin Lingling backed away even further.

Gu Zheng looked at Qin Lingling suspiciously, and then asked, "They are you..."

"Yes, an irresponsible father, someone who can abandon his daughter for the sake of a stepson, and a stepmother who is unscrupulous for his son." Qin Lingling directly responded.

The two in front of them naturally heard Qin Lingling's words, and they were immediately taken aback.

Zhang Hua first reacted and cried, "Lingling, we all know we did something wrong. This time I came to you just to forgive us."

Father Qin also nodded quickly, "Yeah, yeah, it was a bad dad before, can you forgive dad? If you give us another chance, okay?"

Father Qin said with a look of guilt, and even Zhang Hua was sorry.

If you change to the original Qin Lingling, maybe after hearing the confession of her biological father, the stepmother has also changed, maybe they will be deceived? After all, these two people really pretended to be like that, and they would be deceived if they were not careful.

But Qin Lingling didn't have any feelings for this family. Coupled with the original understanding of books, she had no affection for this family.

The things Qin Guang and Zhang Hua did before, now she still remembers clearly, if she is weaker, she might be bullied by them, and they won't be able to arrange them casually.

Now that her life is getting better, these people are repenting and changing, and they don't look at what those eyes are expressing? It is clearly pretended to be.

She retreated behind Gu Zheng and said to the two of them: "It's okay to forgive you, but I'm already married. I don't care about the Qin family. If you ask me for anything, then don't call me. As for what you did to me before, I will forgive you."

After all, she is not the original owner, and the word forgiveness is easy to say.

But she knew that these two people came to her, not only because she knew they were wrong, they came to beg for forgiveness, but they wanted her to help under the guise of admitting their mistakes.

Therefore, she simply acted first, and forgiveness was fine, but letting her help and letting her do it would be nowhere.

Father Qin and Zhang Huaben were still happy that she could forgive her, but they did not expect that Qin Lingling would have another sentence next, that it is possible to forgive, but not to help them with any request.

Father Qin looked back at Zhang Hua awkwardly.

Zhang Hua said anxiously: "Lingling, since you forgive us, why do you say that? We are a family, we are a family, and we help each other in daily life. Isn't it normal?"

Huh... normal?

Qin Lingling smiled and said: "A family can help each other in daily life, but it depends on the situation to help, and not everything can help."

Zhang Hua shyly smiled and said, "I know, I know, it's definitely not necessary to help everything, after all, some things can't help."

As Zhang Hua said, she bumped her husband with her elbow, and her eyes motioned to him to speak quickly.

Father Qin will come over this time, because the family really can't hold on, so he can find Qin Lingling.

Father Qin always disliked or disliked this pro-daughter, but compared to the reception of the clan, if a son inherited, the daughter seemed less important. Going to the mountains and the countryside, let the girls go, and the boys stay at home, so that they can better find jobs and earn money in the future. After all, there are great opportunities in the city. It is necessary for him to have his son to support him in the future.

But he also felt guilty for this daughter at the time, so Qin's father usually mailed some good things in the city to her, which was regarded as making up for her to replace her brother Qin Guang in the countryside.

As for the son who later asked her to return to the city to marry the supervisor's family, it also shows that the supervisor's family is in good condition. Although the supervisor's son has some disability, it does not affect other things. Besides, the conditions for her daughter to marry are good, and they can survive. A good life, not the wind and sun in the countryside, but also to ensure the work of him and his son.

This is a two-seat thing, and he thinks he has considered it very thoughtful.

But where did she think that the girl was unwilling to do this, she even made her own decision to marry her, and the family that she harmed became the way she is now.

Because of these things, he was no less angry.

For this daughter, Father Qin felt guilty in the past, but later he felt that these things he did were right, so the family caused such consequences, he naturally hated this raised girl, and thought about it several times. Asked her at the door, and asked why she didn't care about the life and death of the family?

But the dignity of his man made it difficult for him to go directly to the door to speak and criticize, and only his stepson and his wife met each other.

I never thought that the stepson was arrested by the police station because of this. They spent a lot of money to finally get the stepson out.

But because of this, the family has also become poorer.

These days, they don't know what bitter days they are, it's hard to live as good as death! Had it not been known that Qin Lingling had recognized the Zhang family now, and that there was such a strong family behind her back, they would have come to her for an explanation.

In addition, I heard that Qin Lingling men were serving in the army again, and the position was not low, so she was admitted to a good university.

They have been waiting until now, because Qin Lingling is not as bullying as before, and they dare not mess around.

But the family of four has been eating badly, and they are almost unable to live anymore. After thinking about it, they can only come to Qin Lingling.

As for Qin Lingling, naturally you can't use the elders to say it is aggressive, otherwise there are so many people behind this child, they will have trouble every minute, just like Qin Guang before.

The couple discussed it, and they said, then go to Qin Lingling to talk about it, saying that they knew they were wrong, and see if they could save the child.

You know, if this relationship can be eased, their lives will not be bad in the future. It will not be easy for the Zhang family alone. Maybe they can help them find a better job for the father and son.

Besides, this son-in-law is not bad, but a small leader in the army.

They also inquired that Qin Lingling was still earning money while she was still in school?

In order to better find Qin Lingling, the couple came to Zhang's house for a few days, and finally saw their couple here today, so they planned to come and beg for forgiveness.
