In the evening, Qin Shi continued to work into the night, and designed until midnight.
The next day, Lu Zetian got up early in a moment then went to the canteen to fetch food and put it back in the pot. After looking at Qin Shi's closed door, he went out.
Qin Shi, who had stayed up late, got up in the morning. When she woke up her brain was a little dizzy, and she washed her face before fully waking up.
Gu Qinghai had already gone to school. Qin Shi yawned and went to the kitchen to get something to eat. When she went there, She saw that there were several large steamed stuffed buns in the pot, and smiled a little.
Not bad. She thought Lu Zetian would only make Gu Qinghai's breakfast.
Unexpectedly, he still remembered her and the twins.
There is no need to cook this morning. Qin Shi heated the steamed buns and the porridge left last night. She called the twins to get up and eat breakfast together.
Qin Shi quickly washed the dishes and let the two children play at home. While she hurriedly continued to refine the design herself.
An An played with her beloved little ball, but Ping Ping quietly pursed his hands and sat beside Qin Shi while she was in the middle of doing work, nevertheless he watched her get busy.
Qin Shi saw that he was interested, so she smiled and let him see. After all, he was a fashion designer in the original book, so it was normal to be interested in these things.
See, what do you think? No matter if he wants to be an artist or a designer in his life, she must cultivate him well.
Ping Ping is clever and sensible. He sits beside Qin Shi and doesn't move around. He even helps her with pen and paper very endearingly.
After a while, An An put down the little ball and ran over. After looking at them for a while, she felt bored again. She wanted to play, but she didn't want to play alone, so she washed her hands, found waste paper and sat down and began to fold.
When Lu Zetian came back at noon, he saw this scene.
Qin is earnestly working hard, he looked down and saw Ping Ping writing and drawing beside her. One person is folding paper happily. Three people sat at the table excluding harmony and warmth when you look.
Lu Zetian's expression softened involuntarily as he looked at their 3 eyes with a smile, "Don't be too busy, let's eat and have a rest."
Qin Shi, who had been sitting all morning, looked up and smiled, "Did you just come back?"
Lu Zetian also smiled back, "Yeah, wash your hands so we can start eating."
Qin Shi put down her pen and tidied up the table a little. She stood up and stretched her limbs. The twins couldn't wait to get off the chair and ran off to see what Lu Zetian had bought.
"Dad, Dad! What did you buy? Is there any meat?" An An looked into several boxes and sniffed hard. Ping Ping also held his stomach and looked at Lu Zetian.
"Little gluttonous cat, didn't you just eat meat two days ago?" Lu Zetian took the food to the kitchen and drove away the two small tails. "Wash your hands with your mother."
An An looked at Lu Zetian's back and shouted, "Eating meat almost everyday is not enough!"
Then she looked at Ping Ping and asked, "Isn't it Pingping?"
Ping Ping followed with a nod.
Lu Zetian ignored them. Qin Shi smiled and took them both to the sink in the yard to collect water and wash their hands.
In this era, there are very few people who can eat meat every day. It is very good for the Lu family to eat meat every three to five days.
Recently, however, the number of people who set up stalls in the county has increased. There are no pigs, but there are fish and shrimp. Although the price is a little expensive, it does not need tickets and there is no limit in purchasing.
Qin Shi bought a fish two days ago and braised it in brown sauce. The twins fell in love with it when they ate it for the first time. The status of fish is the same as that of the candied sweet potato.
Soon after, Gu Qinghai also came back. He glanced at the dishes on the table and saw at a glance that it was not made by Qin Shi. His expression became dull.
Lu Zetian happened to see it, and immediately replied calmly: "These days have been so good, that you have already forgotten what it used to be before?"
Gu Qinghai immediately corrected his attitude and shook his head: "I haven't."
After that, he sat down quickly, picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
Lu Zetian's expression softened a little. "It's not a good habit to be choosy. Who outside the house is like us, eating so much? Your mother's cooking is good. I'm afraid that your nutrition will not be able to keep up with this indulgence. Eating like this once in a while will give a sense of pattern."
"Other families can't even afford to eat in the canteen, and there are even people in the countryside who can't eat enough," Lu Zetian said to his three children, "Food is very important. It is good as long as we have something to eat. You should not be picky and not be crooked!"
"We understand!" replied the three children in unison.
Qin Shi looked at them and reflected for a second, but soon forgot what she had just thought.
There is no need to save money and not eat deliciously with this condition. She has been here for a month, and she hasn't spent too much money this month. It's only over 30 yuan.
It was only after ordering milk and buying many daily necessities that I spent so much. The vegetable fields in the yard have grown a lot of things, and the cost will only be much less next month.
In fact, Qin Shi doesn't buy meat and vegetables extravagantly, but she has golden fingers. Her cooking skills are extraordinary, and ordinary ingredients can also be made in different ways. Even if she stir-fries a dish with salt, oil and vinegar, it is delicious like anything else.
That's the reason why the children developed a liking for better cuisine.
Lu Zetian certainly knows this, but this is not the reason for children to be choosy. They must eat good food and bad food. They must not develop the bad habit of being choosy.
Qin Shi also knew the seriousness of the problem, so she said, "Your father is right."
The three little children nodded. They all knew that they shouldn't want to be picky. They just thought about it and missed the delicious food made by Qin Shi, but they didn't expect their father to react so much.
Qin Shi told them that in the 1960s, people didn't have enough to eat, so they could only eat radish, tree bark and bland foods. The three children heard what she said and the eldest eyes couldn't help but widen.
When Qin Shi finally said that millions of people had died of starvation in the country, the twins fell down with tears in their arms. Even Gu Qinghai turned pale.
Lu Zetian didn't expect Qin Shi to tell them this. They are so young. Is it too scary to say this?
Qin Shi always treats children as adults, even though they are still young they should be treated equally.
Lu Zetian thought about it for a while, but was relieved when he realized that the twins were already four years old and Gu Qinghai was nine years old. They all had the ability to think. Qin Shi's practice might be better for their growth and character.
Qin Shi: "So it is shameful to waste food, and it is also bad to be picky about food, understand?"
The three children nodded one after another, holding the bowl and began to eat in large mouthfuls, with no sense of disgust on their faces.
Qin Shi looked at Ping Ping who was sobbing while shoving food into his mouth. It was somewhat funny yet she can't help but feel endearingly sorry for him. He is too emotional, has strong empathy, and is very sentimental. In addition, he is quiet and introverted. Qin Shi is worried that he will be wronged in the future.
She can only pay more attention to him in the future to see if she can change his character. Qin Shi moved her eyes to An An and relaxed a little.
An An is the opposite of Ping Ping. An An has a strong ability to regulate herself. She also cried but she already wiped her tears, turned sadness into appetite, and put food in her mouth.
She hopes that An An can influence Ping Ping and let him not be too introverted. No matter how hard it is, he has to express and vent his mood, or sooner or later he will have to stifle and change his personality.
Qin Shi looked at Gu Qinghai again. When she saw that his expression was okay, she was relieved. Fortunately, Gu Qinghai was just a little willful, and nothing else was wrong.
Qin Shi raised her bowl and continued to eat. She initially thought it was difficult to raise children. Even though this job was really hard to do. It was 100 times more difficult to deal with customers in her previous life.
Qin Shi paid tribute to being a full-time wife in her heart for the 123rd time!
After dinner, the table of food was cleared, and even the vegetable soup was finished to the drip. It can be seen how carefully the children ate. They were really afraid of waste.
Lu Zetian rolled up his sleeves to wash the dishes, while Qin Shi helped him clean the table, someone knocked at the door.
Gu Qinghai saw Mo Ling with a big bag in her arms. Before he could call his parents, he heard Mo Ling gasping and shouting, "Gu Qinghai, open the door for me, I'm exhausted!"
"Oh, oh!" Gu Qinghai hurriedly opened the door and went forward to help her carry things.
Mo Ling waved her hand and asked him not to help: "It's not heavy." It's just that she came here running and was tired.
"Is your mother there?"
Gu Qinghai nodded subconsciously, and Mo Ling walked in with something.
Qin Shi heard the sound and quickly cleaned the table and came out. She lifted the curtain of the kitchen door and saw Mo Ling coming.
Mo Ling was brimming with happiness as she patted the package in her arms. "Here's the cloth!"
Just as she said this, she saw Lu Zetian washing dishes from the crack of the door, and was immediately surprised.
Then she went into the room with Qin Shi and whispered to her ear. She said admiringly, "How awesome! You have unexpectedly subdued him!"
Qin Shi looked at the look in her eyes, looking at her with full admiration. Afterall she had no other meaning, so she felt more favorable to her, so Qin Shu jokingly replied, "It is so-so."
They looked at each other and laughed, leaving Lu Zetian behind and started talking about business.
Mo Ling opened the package and showed her the cloth.
Qin Shi looked at it and was surprised to find that the cloth was not pure red. She was looking at the cloth in the light as it showed tiny sequins.
Sequin cloth? Qin Shi was shocked when she picked up the cloth and looked at it more carefully. Is there sequin cloth in this era?
But when she held it up and looked at it, she found out that there were only sequins in this piece of cloth, and there were none in the other ones.
"Sigh!" Mo Ling was a little worried. She quickly opened the package and took out the sequin cloth.
"How did it leak out? Sigh, the cloth is dyed!" Mo Ling asked Qin Shi anxiously, "Is it all right?"
Qin Shi then realized that this was not sequin cloth, but a bag of shiny glitter. Some glitter leaked out, and it got on the cloth.
"It's nothing," Qin Shi asked Mo Ling, "where did the glitter come from?"
"My friend heard that I was going to make a dress and went to the factory to find it for me. It was used to make New Year pictures," Mo Ling explained. "My friend said that when she went to Shenzhen she saw a model show on TV. People's skirts were the kind of dress that flashed with sequins, and when reflected in the light it was absolutely beautiful."
"I don't know if it can be used." Mo Ling shrugged, "In any case she was so busy yet she still took time to get it for me."
Qin Shi became more and more interested in her friend. "It's useful. It's not good to dye the cloth with sequins, but you can draw patterns on the skirt and add them, in the lights it will look good."
This glitter is too inferior to be used in a large area. It can only be used as an ornament.
Qin Shi explained the situation and said: "It may not be good at a close look, but it must be beautiful at a distance."
Mo Ling waved: "Then let's do it. The stage is so far away. It's okay~ I believe you."
"It is possible that the glitters will fall off." Qin Shi opened the bright glitters and touched it, saying, "There is no special adhesive, only the usual paste, and it will fall off."
"It doesn't matter, just embellish it, if it drops; it drops. I can just let it shine." Mo Ling doesn't care about these details at all. "Is the design drawing ready? Show it to me!"
Qin Shi likes Mo Ling so much. She smiled and showed her the drawings. Mo Ling immediately gets excited after looking at them.
"It's so beautiful!"
"It is settled then. I'll wait to hear from you after you finish working hard~" Mo Ling took Qin Shi's arm and smiled at her brilliantly.
After washing the dishes, Lu Zetian opened the door and came in. As soon as he came in, he saw Mo Ling holding Qin Shi, they got together and smiled happily.
Lu Zetian: "..."
When they saw someone coming in, they turned around and looked at the door.
Lu Zetian, who was seen by the two people, suddenly became stiff.
Lu Zetian: "......"
Lu Zetian, who stayed calm and indifferent in the hail of bullets, was stiff instantly and his mind went blank for a moment. He doesn't know what expression or action to make.

Why did he feel so strange in this scene, enough to make him sit and stand restless?
The author has something to say:
Small theater:
Chief Lu's outside expression looking indifferent: motionless
Deep in his heart screaming: Help me! Help me! Help me! What should I do?
