Xia Xiao’s eyes lit up, "How did I not think of that, alright, next ti I look for Aunt Xiang Hong, I’ll ntion it to her."
Xia Xiao was truly looking forward to cooking alone, as als from the large pot definitely weren’t as tasty as those from a small one, and these days at ho she always ate from the small pot, sotis even in her own space. Eating from the large pot again, she really couldn’t manage it.
The main thing was that the als from the large pot lacked oil, and she could add so when cooking on her own small stove.
After finishing the eggs, Yang Xuehua said, "Let’s go, let’s head back, you’ve been tired all day, have a good rest, you have to go to work tomorrow."
Back at the dormitory, Feng Ying and Dong ihua hadn’t returned, and Xia Xiao said, "I still have two eggs left, Sister Aihua and Yu Hua, would you like them?"
"How could I, you eat them," Wang Aihua said.
"My mom cooked them, they’re leftover from yesterday. If you don’t mind, you can have them, I’m actually afraid of leftovers, in case you don’t like them," Xia Xiao said.
Sun Yuhua said, "Thank you Xia Xiao, give one."
Xia Xiao gave one to Sun Yuhua and one to Wang Aihua, "Sister Aihua, try it, the eggs I cook usually taste pretty good."
Neither Wang Aihua nor Sun Yuhua found anything odd about Xia Xiao’s statent; the taste of the eggs was the sa for both, but after eating, it really was delicious.
"Is it because I haven’t eaten eggs in a while, or are the overnight eggs particularly tasty?" Wang Aihua asked.
Sun Yuhua nodded, "Tasty."
Xia Xiao and Yang Xuehua smiled at each other, and Xia Xiao holding her clothes said, "I’m going to take a shower and get ready for bed."
"Go ahead," Yang Xuehua waved her hand, and Xia Xiao took her clothes and left.
At this mont at the He Family, Feng Ying and Dong ihua were chatting with Li Shengi, who wasn’t very happy. Her son had just co back, and she wanted to spend quality ti with him, but since Dong ihua and Feng Ying ca over, Li Shengi didn’t send them away. Nevertheless, she still felt proud that her son was popular among the girls.
At that ti, He Xuebing and He Hongjun finished talking and walked out from the room into the hall, and Dong ihua looking at He Xuebing said, "Second Brother He, how co you ca back with Xia Xiao?"
Li Shengi looked towards He Xuebing, "Is that so?"
He Xuebing said, "We t on the train."
Imdiately, Li Shengi scowled, and Dong ihua’s face also darkened montarily. They t on the train, who knows how long they talked, and Feng Ying gave Dong ihua a look that said "See?"
"How could it be such a coincidence?" Li Shengi looked suspiciously at He Xuebing.
He Xuebing was speechless, "Coming back at this ti, why couldn’t it just be a coincidence?"
Li Shengi said, "That vixen..."
"Mom, can’t you watch your words? Besides, Educated Youth Xia hasn’t offended you, is it necessary to speak so harmfully?" He Xuebing expressed his dissatisfaction. From Xia Xiao’s righteous actions and her behavior along the way, He Xuebing didn’t think Xia Xiao was the sort of girl to be called a vixen.
Calling soone a vixen wasn’t a complint, and so He Xuebing felt that his mother using such words to describe a girl wasn’t good. Furthermore, both Feng Ying and Dong ihua shared a dormitory with Xia Xiao; his mother spoke with no regard for this, and if her words were to reach Xia Xiao’s ears, what would she think?
What He Xuebing didn’t realize, though, was that by defending Xia Xiao in front of Li Shengi, he was stirring up a big issue.
Li Shengi stared at her son and said, "Why are you speaking up for Xia Xiao? I haven’t said anything wrong. She’s always with the Gao family..."
"Mom, it’s been so many years. Why can’t you change? Educated Youth Xia is close to the Gao family, and you suspect there’s a problem with Educated Youth Xia. Now, you’re close with Educated Youth Feng and Educated Youth Dong, so why don’t you suspect yourself?"
With those words from He Xuebing, not to ntion how Dong ihua and Feng Ying felt, even Li Shengi’s expression tightened.
He Hongjun walked out of the room and said to Li Shengi, "Why say such things? You, too, always speak ill of others. Our son has just co ho, can’t you let him have so peace?"
At this point, He Hongjun turned to Feng Ying and Dong ihua and said, "Educated Youth Feng, Educated Youth Dong, I have sothing to deal with at ho, so I won’t be able to host you anymore."
Hearing He Hongjun say this, Feng Ying and Dong ihua, feeling embarrassed, imdiately stood up to bid farewell to Li Shengi.
Li Shengi watched He Xuebing and said, "Tell the truth, have you fallen for that vixen Xia Xiao? You even say she’s not a vixen, but she flirts with every man around."
"Dad, tell mom, how can she speak so vulgarly without any evidence? You have to be responsible for what you say." He Xuebing could hardly bear Li Shengi’s baseless accusations.
"If I had evidence, would I still be sitting here?" Li Shengi snorted.
He Hongjun gave Li Shengi a sharp look and said, "In my view, Educated Youth Xia is better than any of the female educated youths you often see. Educated Youth Xia is brave and smart, acts decisively, isn’t wishy-washy. Other than you having issues with her, look at how well-liked Educated Youth Xia is in the production team, which person doesn’t get along with her? I wouldn’t oppose Xuebing choosing soone like her."
"Absolutely not, I’d never accept such a daughter-in-law. Who knows, she might just cheat on my son soday." After Li Shengi finished speaking and saw the anger forming on He Xuebing’s face, she continued: "You’re not in the production team, so you don’t know. That Xia Xiao, she interacts with Secretary Li, Jiaxing, and even hooks up with n from the production team, running to the Youth Point every day, attracting their eager courting. Even Haiguo from Red Star Production Team is chasing after her frequently to Guangming Production Team. Such a restless woman, I’d never accept her as a daughter-in-law."
"It’s all baseless, no evidence, Mom attacking a girl like this, you’re really disappointing ," He Xuebing shook his head.
Li Shengi quickly retorted, "Where am I wrong? You ask Dad, isn’t Xia Xiao very popular among n in the production team, all those n chasing after her? How could a good girl attract n to compete for her?"
He Hongjun remained silent, and He Xuebing said, "Being beautiful and having n pursue you is normal; it proves everyone has good taste. Mom was also beautiful before. I even heard Grandma saying you were the flower of the village, and you always ntion it yourself, with quite a few suitors back then too. So why are you treating Educated Youth Xia this way?"
With these words from He Xuebing, He Hongjun’s expression stiffened and his gaze sharpened as he stared at Li Shengi. But because his son was there, Li Shengi wasn’t as intimidated by He Hongjun, rely saying, "Can I really be compared to her?"
"Mom is just biased against Educated Youth Xia. You and Cousin Xiang Hong don’t get along, and you even dislike Educated Youth Xia who is close to Cousin Xiang Hong. You’re already of an age, spreading such slander about a girl is too much." Saying this, He Xuebing turned to He Hongjun, "Dad, do you know what happened on the train?"
