Chapter 310 Sister-in-law, don't misunderstand.
"This is how you roll out dough, but you don't need to learn it. Someone at home will cook." Qin Yunzhou skillfully rolled out the dough.
In a short while, the dough was transformed into noodles in his hands and cooked in hot water.
"Alright, then you can come and I'll help you."
Xu Sui really couldn't make these hand-pulled noodles, so she simply stood aside and watched Qin Yunzhou work, occasionally helping him out.
There's really no need for her to do these chores at home. Firstly, she doesn't have time because of work, and secondly, there are other people in the family who cook, so she doesn't need to.
One by one, other families on the same floor also started coming over to make breakfast.
Yang Yun was the first to arrive. She was a little surprised to see someone in the communal kitchen. Upon closer inspection, she was even more surprised to find that the person cooking was Qin Yunzhou, not Xu Sui.
She acted as if nothing had happened, carrying out a pot from the house and smiling at the two of them.
"Political Commissar Qin, Xiao Xu, you're cooking quite early today."
"Sister-in-law, you've arrived."
"Sister-in-law," Qin Yunzhou greeted Xu Sui, nodding politely.
While cooking, Yang Yun secretly glanced at Xu Sui and the others.
The two were chatting and laughing, standing together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match, and a hint of envy flashed in my eyes.
Everyone says she married well; she married a division commander and became his wife.
Only she knew that her life was not easy.
Her husband is so much older than her, and their eldest child is about the same age as her, already married with children. The other children are also quite old.
She, as a stepmother, has been married into the family for so many years without having a single biological child, and she can't develop any feelings for those men. She doesn't know what will happen to her when her husband gets old.
Moreover, when they walk outside, people who don't know them often mistake them for a father and daughter, not a couple, which is honestly a bit awkward.
Qin Yunzhou's cooking skills weren't great, but they were still edible. He made two bowls of hand-pulled noodles, one for himself and one for Xu Sui.
The taste was alright.
When it was time to part, both of them were reluctant to leave.
However, no matter how reluctant they were, they still had to part ways. Xu Sui personally saw Qin Yunzhou off as he left the family compound.
As the man's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Xu Sui felt a little uneasy.
Today is the weekend, so I don't have to go to work and can spend some quality time with the kids at home. The only downside is that Qin Yunzhou has left.
"Mom, Mom, my brother and I don't like Ms. Li in our class. Every time Dad takes us to school, Ms. Li stares at him."
"Whenever my dad was around, Ms. Li would come over and pretend to be very nice to my brother and me, but after my dad left, Ms. Li wasn't as enthusiastic towards me."
"I don't know why, Ms. Li, do you not like me? She seems to like my brother more."
Because she was off work today, and because she rarely spends time with her children, Xu Sui took her two children for a walk and to enjoy the sunshine.
On the way, Yao Yao chattered on about things at school, and before she knew it, she was talking about Teacher Li.
Even Yan Yan, who was standing to the side, nodded. He took Xu Sui's hand, looked up at her earnestly, and said, "Mom, Teacher Li seems to know Dad."
"Sometimes she asks us about Dad and Mom."
Neither my sister nor I told her.
Since it involved two children and Qin Yunzhou, Xu Sui took the matter to heart.
I specifically asked for this teacher's name, and soon learned from the two children that her name was Li Xia.
However, there are many more things that the two children do not know.
……
I spent two days at home with my child over the weekend, and the relationship between the three of us became even closer.
During this time, Xu Sui also encountered Gu Shu.
The other person wanted to say something to her, but because they were very busy, they only met briefly from a distance before leaving.
Before she knew it, it was a workday again, and Xu Sui rode her old bicycle to work.
On the way, someone called out to her.
"Sister-in-law, wait for me, let me go with you."
The person who called out to her was Lu Xiaoya.
The other party was also riding a brand new old-fashioned bicycle, and soon caught up with Xu Sui.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not familiar with the roads around here. Could I commute to and from get off work with you from now on?"
Xu Sui shook her head and politely declined, "I'm afraid that won't work. Our jobs are different, and we might not be able to leave work together. Let's just forget about it."
Lu Xiaoya was taken aback for a moment, but quickly cheered up and smiled.
"It's alright, sister-in-law, I can wait for you."
"By the way, Mom and Dad said they wanted to transfer my older brother back to Beijing, why didn't you agree?"
"Beijing is great. You used to work in a big factory, and you also studied there for four years of university."
Xu Sui didn't expect the other party to ask her this question.
"It's nothing really. We were already here before, we're just coming back."
"On the contrary, what are you all doing here?"
She remembered that in that historical novel, Gu Shuke was not transferred back, but stayed in Beijing.
Lu Xiaoya suddenly fell silent, turned her head to look at Xu Sui's beautiful and fair profile, stared at her for a long time, and her voice was a little sore.
"Sister-in-law, you shouldn't ask me this reason. You should ask him. He insisted on applying to be transferred here despite our parents' objections."
"Actually, I didn't want to come here either. After all, Beijing is where I've lived since I was a child. But he's here, and I'm his wife, so of course I have to come along."
"After turning this corner, you'll be in the county town."
Xu Sui sensed something was off about the other person's tone, so she changed the subject.
After all, she really didn't want to get involved in other people's relationships. She had only asked casually earlier, and since the other person had asked her first, she was just asking back.
Lu Xiaoya suddenly spoke up again, "Sister-in-law, I heard that you two were childhood sweethearts, grew up together since you were little, and you even had a marriage agreement. It's expected that you'll get married soon."
"Can you tell me what he was like before?"
"I want to know more about him."
Xu Sui remained expressionless, unconsciously widening the distance between herself and Lu Xiaoya as she rode her old bicycle. Finally, she pushed off with all her might and quickly left the area.
"Xiaoya, you should go ask him. It's a matter between you and your husband, so it's more appropriate for you to ask him yourself."
"I have something to do, so I'll go first. Take your time."
Lu Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, then quickly rode her old-fashioned bicycle to catch up.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, wait for me, I don't know the way."
"I just wanted to ask you some questions, that's all, please don't misunderstand."
She rode her bike very well and quickly caught up with Xu Sui.
"Sister-in-law, can you tell me how he used to treat you?"
