Chapter 50: The Fifth Miss of the Ai Family
"My mother has done this before." She said calmly and lowered her eyes.
She was telling the truth. To open a breakfast shop, her parents had to learn various kinds of pasta besides steamed buns.
Her mother knew how to make bean curd noodles, but she rarely cooked by herself since she had a cooking aunt at home.
So Shi Xiao Ai was telling the truth; it was a matter of time and space.
Cheng Yang didn't naturally know what Shi Xiao Ai was thinking, but he knew Something about her family background.
They needed to be more savvy about their family situations before they got married, and for their reasons, they didn't mention it much after they got married.
He told Xiao Ai about his relationship with his father and his father's remarriage after he received the enlistment notice.
However, Xiao Ai's background was only discovered from his file when he was injured and hospitalized, and he wanted to find her through the army.
Cheng Yang knew that the army would have conducted another political review on him when he was promoted. But he did not expect the review to be so careful, and even his wife's family situation would be written down.
Xiao Ai's parents separated from the Shi family early, and her father died when she was very young. She and her mother grew up dependent on each other, so the political trial was mainly based on her mother's side.
Cheng Yang knew that Xiao Ai's mother originally came from a big capitalist family. The family had a large population, but almost all immigrated overseas before liberation.
Her mother was initially the most favored fifth lady of the Ai family. Because she married her father, she decided to stay in the country and not leave with her family.
Therefore, when he heard Shi Xiao Ai say that her mother had made this noodle at home, he had no doubts.
Even if a young lady from a wealthy family later lived a poor life, she must have seen the world in her early years, and it is normal for her to know some skills that ordinary people cannot.
Like Xiao, Ai can make stone buns and steamed buns and rolls, which are uncommon in Yuncheng. These should be inherited from her mother's side.
Shi Xiao Ai didn't know that his casual words made Cheng Yang think so much, nor did she know that she had cleared all the bugs she had exposed.
After eating, they went to a nearby local product store.
The spatula I use at home now comes from Aunt Liu's house, so I have to buy another one. In addition, if the passenger flow is like today, more than tea cups and enamel jars will be needed, and these will also need to be purchased.
Before the two came, they rummaged through all the industrial coupons at home and took them with them, but even so, they needed to be more.
Fortunately, the people at the souvenir shop still had some impression of Shi Xiao Ai. They remembered that she had come to buy tea cups before, so they especially found two enamel jars for her with the porcelain knocked off. They were charged one less industrial coupon before letting them return satisfied.
He bought many things at the local product store, and Cheng Yang also bought plenty of vegetables for tomorrow at the vegetable store next to the store.
It is said that the best way is to send these things home first and then come out.
But it was a little late when the two of them came out, and they also took some time to eat. It was already past four in the afternoon.
To avoid going to his house early enough and just in time for dinner, the two of them decided to go directly.
They turned to the grocery store, and luckily, they had fresh chicken cakes today.
They bought two kilograms, two portions of Dajingguo, two portions of peach cake, and two portions of honey. Three knives were enough to make up the four items. Seeing sherbet, Cheng Yang suggested buying two bottles, but Shi Xiao Ai refused.
Nowadays, people usually eat less, so when they see this fragrant and sweet drink, they think it is a good thing, but she knows very well that it is a mixture of essence, coloring, and saccharin. No matter how expensive it is, it is not a good thing.
Moreover, Li Qiaoyun is still pregnant. She cannot guarantee whether this food will be harmful to pregnant women or newborn children, so she must not buy it indiscriminately.
Shi Xiao Ai chose the most common canned fruits and bought four bottles, two oranges, and two apples. Although they were not fresh and the price was not cheap, at least they were safe.
Dividing what they bought into two parts, the two hurried to the family home of the catering company.
Because they walked faster on the road, they arrived just a little after five o'clock. After getting off work, people had yet to come home, and few were in the yard.
The couple rode directly to Li Qiaoyun's house.
Seeing them, Li Qiaoyun was extremely surprised and, at the same time, delighted.
She couldn't even wait for her mother to lead her in. She was raising her baby at home, so she quickly left the bedroom and took Shi Xiao Ai's hand: "Xiao Ai, why did you come here? Is it cold outside? Why are you here? Why are your hands so cold?"
Seeing that Li Qiaoyun's belly had grown more than twice, and it was almost time to give birth, how could Shi Xiao Ai dare to let her run around? She quickly pulled her to sit down on the sofa at home.
Then she explained: "Something happened at home recently. Otherwise, I would have come to see you."
Who knew that as soon as she said this, Li Qiaoyun understood clearly and said: "It's Shi Daxi's grandma who went to your house to make trouble. Right? I already know it has spread all over the company. Oh, I am just too inconvenient now. My mother has to be strict with me. Otherwise, I would have gone to see you!" When she was talking, the
Li's family's Mom walked out of the kitchen with two glasses of water.
Seeing this, Cheng Yang quickly stood up and reached out to take it.
While being polite to Cheng Yang and asking him to sit down and talk, Li's mother did not forget to scold her daughter: "How dare you say that? How dare you ride a bike to work with such a big belly? If it hadn't been for that fall, Guo An would have sent you back yet!"
The old woman was distressed about this matter, and now he was even angry when he talked about it: "Guo An is also a brainless person; whatever you say is what he said; he has no idea! If you want to ride, let you ride. Let's see what you will do if Something happens!"
Li Qiaoyun felt a little embarrassed after being scolded. She interrupted her mother's words, looked at Cheng Yang, and said, "Xiao Ai, this is your partner, Cheng Yang, right? I've only heard of it before but never seen it in person! You have excellent taste, and you're so handsome! No wonder you can give birth to a child as beautiful as Mingrui and Ming xi." It's the early 1980s, and people are still thinking, not so open, and few people comment on the handsomeness of the opposite sex face to face, even acquaintances.
Hearing that her daughter was clueless and said irrelevant words, the Li family's mother glared at her.
But Shi Xiao Ai didn't care. These words were just the most common greetings to her, and there was no big deal.
She immediately said: "Oh, your Guo An is handsome too. Your child will be the same. He must be a beautiful baby."
Guo An and Li Qiaoyun were childhood sweethearts. They were in the same class in primary school and middle school. Naturally, they were also classmates with Xiao Ai.
The couple had visited each other's house before, and they talked to Shi Xiao ai for a long time about their middle school days, which was quite familiar.
Therefore, she was speaking very smoothly already, but she overlooked the corners of the man next to her that had been slightly upstairs.
