Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 164 East Wind West Wind

Zhuang's mother took Wen Qi to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of rice. "Oh, Xiao Qing, you came back late. We have all eaten. This is left for you. Please eat it."

Wen Qing was speechless. She took the bowl and was about to eat when she suddenly smelled a sour taste. She held it closer and found that it was indeed a bit rotten.

Wen Qing put down the bowl and said, "This rice has gone bad. It can't be eaten."

Zhuang's mother smiled and said, "How could that be? We also eat this."

He took the bowl and smelled it, "How could it be spoiled?"

He insisted that Wen Qing eat the food, so she threw it into the trash can.

Zhuang's mother said unhappily, "Xiaoqing, what's wrong? If you are angry with me, just tell me. Don't waste food. If you waste food, God will strike you down."

Father Zhuang saw that the two had not come out of the kitchen for a long time, so he came over and accused them, "Xiao Qing, your mother-in-law cooked for you, but not only did you not eat it, you even poured it out. You, you are too much."

Wen Qing said, "Dad, Mom, you have lived here for half a year. If I have done anything wrong, you can tell me instead of feeding me rotten food."

Zhuang's father refused to admit it. "Who gave you rotten food? You are a junior, but not only do you not serve your parents-in-law, but you also embarrass your elders." He spoke in a loud voice.

Wen Qing's heart sank, and she immediately cried and said, "Dad, Mom, I am the one who does all the housework at home now. I buy groceries, cook, and clean every day, and I wash clothes.

I have to give you money every month to honor you. What have I done wrong? You want to feed me rotten rice? Woo woo woo."

She ran into the house crying and slammed the door, leaving the two of them looking at each other. Zhuang's father snorted and went back into the house.

The next day, Wen Qing woke up early and greeted the two elders as usual, calling them affectionately, "Dad, Mom, come and have dinner."

Mr. Zhuang was afraid that Wen Qing would also give them rotten rice, so he waited until Wen Qing scooped up some porridge and took a few mouthfuls before he started eating.

Wen Qing opened the gate, stood at the entrance, and said loudly: "Dad, Mom, I'm going to work. After get off work, I'll buy you chickens, take your clothes away to wash, and I've cleaned the yard. You two old people must have a good rest and go out for a walk if you have nothing to do."

Wen Qing saw the neighbor nearby sticking his head out, smiled and nodded, then rode away on his bike.

By the way, I took the clothes that the two elders had taken off and gave them to Mrs. Wu, so that she could take them back when she returned home in the evening.

Little guy, everyone knows about the public opinion offensive.

Since the start of the technological transformation of state-owned enterprises, Director Ye has taken three comrades from the Heavy Industry Department to participate in the technological transformation projects of two enterprises in the past two months. Now, the feasibility analysis and project reports of the two factories' technological transformation projects have been submitted to the Planning Commission, awaiting its approval.

Wen Qing and his team are working on a plan for a third company. The company's financial and technical personnel often come to the District Industrial Bureau to analyze existing technologies with them and see which production line would be best to introduce.

The person who came today was a technician from a factory and asked Wen Qing to help contact a research institute. They needed to come to discuss introducing technology.

Wen Qing made a phone call and introduced the factory's requirements in the name of the Sifeng Industrial Bureau, asking them to receive the factory's technicians. When the other party saw that it was a national government agency, they immediately agreed to receive them. After the matter was settled, the factory's technicians left with gratitude.

Wen Qing pressed her forehead. From the Spring Festival till now, she had been jumping around like a clockwork frog. After being busy for half a year, she could finally relax a little.

But Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang made her very tired, so for Zhuang Xien's sake, she could only swallow her anger.

Looking at the clock on the wall, it was time to get off work. Wen Qing collected the documents on the table, said goodbye to Dong and Wu, and walked out of the office.

When she was on the road, she took out a prepared chicken from the space while no one was paying attention, put it in the bicycle basket, went to Mrs. Wu's house first, took back the clothes washed in the morning, put them on the back seat, and pushed the bike into the alley.

Aunt Zhao, a neighbor, saw the chicken in the basket and asked, "Xiao Wen, are these the chickens you bought?"

Wen Qing said loudly: "Yes, Aunt Zhao, buy a chicken to nourish my mother-in-law."

Seeing her staring at the bag of clothes in the back seat, he took the initiative and said, "These clothes belong to my parents-in-law. I washed them for them."

Mother Zhuang heard Wen Qing chatting with someone outside the yard and opened the gate, "Xiao Qing, you're back?"

Wen Qing smiled and said, "Mom, I'm off work. Wait a moment, I'll cook right away."

Zhuang's mother was angry, "Oh, look how busy you are."

Wen Qing said goodbye to Aunt Zhao, entered the yard, immediately put the chicken into the kitchen, hung the clothes in the yard, and went upstairs to change clothes.

After working in the kitchen for an hour, he served dinner and called the two elders, "Dad, Mom, it's time to eat."

He served the two elders a bowl of chicken soup and said, "Drink the soup first, it's healthier." He also picked up a chicken drumstick for each of them.

When Zhuang's father and mother saw Wen Qing being so enthusiastic, they thought she had given up and were happy, so they started eating the chicken legs.

From then on, Wen Qing had chicken soup, braised pork, old duck soup, or stewed spare ribs every day. The quality of food at home was much better than before. In the morning, they had fried dough sticks and meat buns, and they made delicious food in different ways.

Zhuang's father and mother couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that Wen Qing was finally afraid of them. Thinking of what Zhuang Xien said about Wen Qing having a bad relationship with her family, they probably thought that she was trying to please them.

As the old saying goes, between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind. It seems that Wen Qing has given in.

One day, Zhuang's father said to Wen Qing, "Xiao Qing, I heard that business is not doing well now, why don't I go and help you."

Wen Qing smiled and said, "Dad, my stall is just a small one, so you don't need to bother with it. It's just a bunch of chores, don't tire yourself out."

Seeing that Wen Qing refused to listen to his persuasion, Zhuang's father had no choice but to shut up.

Mother Zhuang looked at Wen Qing with hatred. After a while, she smiled and said to Wen Qing, "Xiao Qing, I received a letter from Xiying today. Lanhua is pregnant."

Wen Qing smiled and said, "This is good news. Don't you want to go back and take a look?"

Zhuang's mother said, "Xiaoqing, you are just too busy. It has been so long since you got married and there is no news. You need to hurry up."

Wen Qing smiled and said, "Mom, there's no rush for this kind of thing."

Zhuang's mother said, "Xiaoqing, I'll go to the hospital with you. If you have any disease, you can get it treated early, and if you don't have any disease, you can also regulate your body."

Wen Qing had no choice but to nod.

A few days later, Zhuang's mother got some herbs from somewhere, saying they could help with pregnancy. She boiled a large bowl of them and asked Wen Qing to drink it.

Wen Qing refused, and Zhuang's mother wiped her tears beside her, "Xiao Qing, I'm doing this for your own good. Many people have drunk this herbal medicine, and it works very well."

Zhuang's father also said: "Xiaoqing, your mother means well, just drink it."

Wen Qing had no choice but to say, "Okay, leave it there, I'll drink it in a while."

The two elders put down the bowl and went out. Wen Qing of course didn't want to drink it. She poured the medicine into the space and took the empty bowl to wash.

Seeing Wen Qing drink it, Zhuang's mother stopped. From then on, she gave Wen Qing a bowl of wine every day, and Wen Qing poured it into the space when they were not paying attention.

Zhuang's father fell in love with fishing, and he made an appointment with several old men in the neighborhood to go fishing in a nearby creek. He often asked Wen Qing for money to buy fishing rods, fishing lines, and bait. In less than a month, he asked Wen Qing for more than 100 yuan.

Wen Qing called Zhuang Xien and told him about it. Zhuang Xien said, "Xiao Qing, give it to him first. Dad has nothing to do and is inevitably bored. Having a hobby can also help pass the time. I'll give you the money when I come back."

Wen Qing didn't know what to say and asked Zhuang Xien when he would be home.

Zhuang Xien said that the prototype of the road bike has been produced and everyone's evaluation has been very good. Now mass production has begun. He will come back after he arranges the things in the factory.

Wen Qing told him to take good care of himself and arranged his parents' daily life at home.

Zhuang Xien hung up the phone, and Yang Xiaoqin said, "Brother Xien, I bought some vegetables. I will make you some home-cooked meals in the evening."

Zhuang Xien said: "No, cousin, I don't have a stove here, so I can't cook."

Yang Xiaoqin said: "We have it in our dormitory. I'll send it to you when I'm done."

The siblings rented a house in the steel factory dormitory and cooked their own food to save some money.
