Chapter 18:
Early in the morning, Qin Shi made breakfast and warmed it up on the stove. She got on the bus with a basket on her shoulders and rushed to the supply and marketing agency to grab meat.
If I want to invite Aunt Zhao's family to dinner at night, I still have to cook two big dishes.
Qin Shi wasn't the first one to go, but it wasn't too late either. Fortunately, she got the last piece of pork belly.
After buying the meat, I bought a piece of fish, and then continued shopping until the basket was filled with messy things, and Qin Shi stopped.
Not long after returning home, Aunt Zhao came to the door with a lot of vegetables, "These are all grown at home, so I can buy them cheaply."
Qin Shi was also polite, and took it with a smile, "Thank you, auntie, remember to come to my house for dinner tonight."
Aunt Zhao waved her hand, "Don't worry, I will definitely come early."
After talking and joking a few more words, Aunt Zhao left.
The children had already woken up, and the twins were looking at the fish in the basin in the kitchen, trying to touch them with their hands.
"Is it dead or alive?"
"It's not moving, it should be dead."
An An was very courageous, in order to determine whether it was dead or alive, she decisively reached out and poked the fish lightly.
The half-dead fish flicked its tail suddenly, and An An clasped her hands and screamed in fright, and Ping Ping sat down on the ground with her buttocks.
Qin Shi was amused by the two of them, and burst out laughing with a "puchi".
Gu Qinghai, who was helping the twins, heard the voice and looked up. Seeing that Qin Shi glanced at him without saying a word, and went straight to his own business, he couldn't help biting his lips.
Is Qin Shi still angry with yesterday...
Gu Qinghai was inexplicably lost in his heart, his eyes followed her all the time, and the thought of apologizing was born again.
But he was a little embarrassed and didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing that Qin Shi was about to wash the vegetables, Gu Qinghai hurried over to help her, "I'll help you!"
Qin Shi gave him the vegetables, and turned to cut the meat.
Seeing that Qin Shi still didn't talk to him, Gu Qinghai kept rushing to work, which made Qin Shi feel a lot easier.
Qin Shi felt funny seeing Gu Qinghai sneaking away from him from time to time. She was not angry with Gu Qinghai at all, after all, she was only Lu Zetian's wife in name, but she was actually a nanny.
"Stepmother" is a profession for Qin Shi, and she has already made psychological preparations. The ability of modern day laborers to resist pressure is very good. Qin Shi didn't feel Gu Qinghai's non-painful words at all, and didn't take it to heart at all.
In fact, she had prepared for the worst, but she didn't expect that the three children of the Lu family were not bears, and they were quite obedient and smart. This situation is already very good.
Treating Gu Qinghai deliberately "coldly" is actually Qin Shi taking the opportunity to educate him and break away from his awkward temper.
When Qin Shi finished cooking and was about to take the plate, Gu Qinghai handed it over. When he saw Qin Shi looking at him, he subconsciously looked away and didn't look at her.
Qin Shi saw that the heat was almost ready, took the plate and said, "Thank you."
Seeing that Qin Shi had "softened", Gu Qinghai regained his energy immediately, summoned up the courage to say to her, "Well, yesterday, me, don't be angry, I just lost my head in a hurry."
After finishing speaking, my heart was beating loudly.
Gu Qinghai stared at Qin Shi nervously, wanting to see her reaction.
Qin Shi: "It's okay."
Gu Qinghai heaved a sigh of relief, and his heart returned to its original place.
"Aren't I still in the probationary period?" Qin Shi looked at him and smiled slightly, "It's not the stepmother you admit, it's really hard to control you."
Gu Qinghai's heart "thumped" inexplicably again, he felt that these words were weird, and it sounded very awkward.
Qin Shi protected them so much yesterday, Gu Qinghai didn't fall directly like Pingping and An An, but he also liked her more in his heart.
"But you'd better pay attention to what you say in the future, don't be so impulsive," Qin Shi changed the subject and took the opportunity to educate him: "Sometimes unintentional words can make people feel more uncomfortable."
When Gu Qinghai heard this, he thought that Qin Shi didn't say anything, but he still felt uncomfortable, so he felt guilty and said "I'm sorry."
Qin Shi smiled, took a piece of meat and put it into Gu Qinghai's mouth, "It's okay, just pay attention in the future."
Gu Qinghai wanted to hide, but the meat was too fragrant... He still took a bite of the meat, and then took half a step back.
Qin Shi asked him with a smile: "Is it delicious?"
Gu Qinghai nodded.
The pork belly was fat and thin, it was oily and chewy in one bite, and the sauce was full of flavor, it was fried very tasty, even Gu Qinghai was a little bit reluctant to swallow it.
Qin Shi looked at him and smiled, and continued to work on what was in hand.
I fried a little at noon, and Qin Shi was going to make braised pork for the rest of the night. I happened to have an earthen pot at home, so I could use this to stew.
Not long after Gu Qinghai swallowed the meat, the twins entered the kitchen hand in hand, and began to watch Qin Shi cook.
An An noticed that Qin Shi had cut a big mouthful of meat, and couldn't help swallowing, "Qin Shi, Qin Shi, do you eat meat today?"
"Yes, braised pork in brown sauce at night."
An An let out a "wow" and wondered why it was not night, so Qin Shi lifted the lid of the big bowl and gave each of the twins a piece of meat.
"tasty!"
"Well~"
The twins held their small faces and narrowed their eyes, watching Qin Shi pick up another piece of meat and bring it to Gu Qinghai's mouth.
Gu Qinghai was slightly startled, Qin Shi blinked at him a little slyly.
After eating this piece of meat, Gu Qinghai looked at the eager twins, feeling guilty and happy for no reason.
Mother Lu came to take care of them. The twins were young and needed to be watched all the time. Everyone paid more attention to the young ones.
Gu Qinghai hadn't experienced the feeling of being eccentric, but at this moment he just ate an extra piece of meat, and he couldn't help being happy in his heart.
He glanced at Qin Shi, and couldn't help but look again, his heart began to waver... If she can always treat them so well, then he will admit her as a stepmother!
Look again, and look again in a while.
Gu Qinghai's gaze stayed on Qin Shi, and he didn't move away for a long time.
The fried pork at noon made the children look forward to the big meal in the evening, and they didn't go out to play in the afternoon. They stayed at home to help Qin Shi with work.
For the parents of this age, they would either be annoyed and drag them out of the kitchen, or they would be reluctant to work for them, or they would do everything for them regardless of whether they could do it or not.
Qin Shi encouraged them to work, but they were all assigned small jobs like washing vegetables and everything. Even if they didn't wash clean or damaged the dishes, they wouldn't blame them. They just asked them to come back or pay attention next time. Praise and encouragement Mainly.
Twins like this very much, the more they boast, the more energetic they become, and the more they boast, the more serious they are, and they don't mean to be unhappy at all.
Aunt Zhao, who was helping her, was amazed at Qin Shi's education method, thinking that she would use this method to educate her grandson in the future.
Not long after the meal was ready, Lu Zetian came back with Political Commissar Zheng. The two of them entered the kitchen after washing up. Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, they immediately smiled at each other.
"I'm lucky today!" Political Commissar Zheng laughed.
After Lu Zetian introduced Qin Shi to Political Commissar Zheng, everyone sat down to eat without saying much politeness.
Fat but not greasy braised pork, salty and fragrant stir-fried pork, crispy and sweet stir-fried seasonal vegetables, fresh and juicy steamed fish, hot and sour cold salad, soft and fragrant bacon steamed rice...
Every dish tasted good, the children were full of oil, and the adults applauded and applauded.
After dinner, Qin Shi poured her own hawthorn tea for everyone. It was sweet and sour and had the fragrance of tea. Even Political Commissar Zheng and Lu Zetian, who didn't like scented tea, drank a big cup.
There were outsiders today, Qin Shi didn't ask Lu Zetian to wash the dishes, but Aunt Zhao was full of praise just because he took the initiative to help Qin Shi clean up the dishes.
"Our house really didn't even help the oil bottle when it was down, and Zetian even offered to help clean it up. It's really irritating to compare people to others."
Aunt Zhao praised Lu Zetian in the kitchen, and political commissar Zheng next door also praised Qin Shi to Lu Zetian, "You are a good wife, with good skills, good looks, and good for the children. Live well in the future."
"Now you don't have too many things to do. Go home to spend time with your wife and children when you have time, understand?" Political commissar Zheng also didn't want to see Lu Zetian get divorced because he was busy and didn't go home.
Lu Zetian naturally understood Commissar Zheng's subtext. He nodded and said, "I understand."
Strange to say, Lu Zetian suddenly felt that something was wrong with him during this period of time. It was as if there was something wrong with his brain. He spent every day in the army and didn't know what he was busy with.
Obviously there are some things that he doesn't need to do by himself, but he still does it himself, which is very strange.
Sometimes when I dream about things from the past, I wake up very suddenly, and always feel that those things should not be done by him.
For example, adopting twins is like being stunned, no matter what, adopt immediately.
He didn't tell Mo Ling, and discussed with her, as if he was being manipulated by something.
It wasn't until after getting acquainted with Qin Shi that Lu Ze gradually realized that something was wrong with him before. Later, when he married Qin Shi and started to live a serious life, he suddenly realized that his previous strangeness was really weird.
In the past few days, Lu Zetian carefully recalled the past, and recalled what he thought at the beginning, but found that his brain seemed to be pumped, and he made a decision inexplicably.
Lu Zetian was puzzled and suffered from insomnia for several days. He really couldn't think of an answer, so he had to give up and get up and start living seriously.
Fortunately, his mind is clear now, and he won't do stupid things anymore.
…
The next morning, after Qin Shi got dressed, she went to the primary school in the military region alone. She was going to have an interview today.
Although the schools in the military region are not as good as modern ones, they are much better than those in the village. They are all small buildings with several floors and the playground is quite large.
Kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school are all together, but the location is different.
Qin Shi was led in for a tour, and found that the school was quite good. After all, no matter how poor you are, you can't have poor children. Children are the flowers of the future, and they must be cultivated well.
At the door of the principal's office, Qin Shi thanked the teacher who led the way and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Qin Shi opened the door and walked in, and found three people inside, so she smiled and greeted them generously, and then introduced herself.
The three of them looked at each other, and their first impression of Qin Shi was very good.
The female teacher in charge of junior high school English pushed her glasses and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Zhou Qian, and I am leading the junior high school English teacher. This is our principal Wang and another English teacher Zuo Bin."
After some formalities, the interview officially began.
"Just treat the three of us as elementary school students, and order whatever you want."
What scene has Qin Shi not seen in modern times? The mentality is terribly stable, not nervous at all, and there is no such thing as a lot of people in this era who can't let go.
I really treated them as children, gave them a basic English class, taught them the English alphabet vividly, and sang the English alphabet song to them.
After the end, the three nodded in satisfaction, and Zhou Qian took out a test paper and handed it to Qin Shi to accept the written test.
In less than ten minutes, Qin's poems were all written.
Zhou Qian and the others saw that the handwriting was neat and the questions were all correct, and they smiled.
These are high school English questions, and they are not easy. Qin Shi did the questions so quickly and got them all right, which shows that she has something in her stomach.
In the end, Zhou Qian and Zuo Bin communicated with Qin Shi in English. They talked about everything in the world, and Qin Shi could cope with it freely. Zhou Qian and Zhou Qian saw that she knew many uncommon scientific terms, so they stopped taking the test and went straight to the test. Chong headmaster nodded.
The headmaster couldn't understand what they were talking about, but he could tell that her tone was not as rigid as on the radio, but rather comfortable and nice.
So she announced with a smile that she passed.
Qin Shi thanked her with a smile, Zhou Qian and others congratulated her, the atmosphere in the office was very harmonious.
"You can take the children in the third grade. There are four classes in total. If you don't follow the class, they are only in the third grade." Principal Wang looked up at her, saw her nodding, and continued.
"Each class has one class a day, no need to sit in class, a monthly salary of 55, and there are holidays and welfare subsidies..."
Qin Shi thought to herself that the salary is not low, nor is it particularly tiring.
Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
Principal Wang interrupted his speech, thinking that someone was looking for him urgently, so he looked towards the door and said loudly, "Come in."
A beautiful long-haired woman came in and gave Principal Wang a sweet smile, "Principal, I'm here to apply for an English teacher."
Principal Wang was a little surprised, "Li Qianqian? Didn't you go to study? You came back so soon?"
"It's over early." After Li Qianqian explained, she smiled and put the materials on Principal Wang's desk. "Isn't school starting soon? I heard that the school is recruiting English teachers, so I came here."
Principal Wang glanced at Qin Shi, smiled and said, "Then you are late, Qin Shi just got the last spot."
"Oh?" Li Qianqian turned her head and began to look at Qin Shi in an open and honest manner.
Looking at her eyes, Qin Shi felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Li Qianqian looked at Qin Shi with a smile, and asked, "I don't know which famous school my sister graduated from? Maybe we are still alumni."
Oh, my sister?
Qin Shi pursed her lips and smiled, where did you get the green tea? Rank seems a little low.
"I didn't go to college, so I shouldn't be from the same school." Qin Shi smiled and reported her shortcomings.
Sure enough, a bright light flashed in Li Qianqian's eyes. She said "Ah~", turned her head to look at Principal Wang, and said, "Then I think I can compete with this sister for this position. After all, I haven't joined yet, have I?"
Principal Wang knew that she was the best university in X city, majoring in English, and suddenly felt a headache.
Don't come early or late, but Qin Shi was appointed to come. Why didn't she come back to study when the quota was still available?
Principal Wang was also in a dilemma. He glanced at Qin Shi and said, "Let me think about it..."
If Li Qianqian is not given a chance to compete, she will definitely cause trouble. She graduated from a prestigious university, but the seat was given to Qin Shi who did not go to university, and it will not work to spread the word.
Still have to agree.
Qin Shi naturally understood, so she didn't make things difficult for Principal Wang, and took the initiative to say: "Then let's compete fairly."
Principal Wang's expression softened, and he added two points to Qin Shi's favor in his heart, "Then prepare, come tomorrow, and you will compete fairly and openly."
Li Qianqian responded with a smile, nodded to Qin Shi, and left the office first.
Qin Shi was also about to leave, but she glanced at a resignation document on the table. She paused and asked, "By the way, is there any shortage of other teachers in our school?"
Principal Wang nodded: "The music teacher who led the junior high school has retired, and there is a vacancy, why? Are you interested?"
Qin Shi nodded with a smile, and asked unabashedly, "How about the salary?"
Principal Wang laughed and liked her straightforward personality. "The salary is definitely not as high as that of an English teacher. It is only 40 a month, but there are also few classes. There are six classes for one grade, and there are only a dozen classes a week."
Qin Shi's eyes lit up, this one is even better! Although the salary is lower, it is better than ease.
Originally, she didn't want to be too tired. After all, she still had to take care of three children. The music teacher was fine. She has saved money in the past few years, and after a few years of reform and opening up, she will go into business, so happy!
"What are the requirements for a music teacher? Do you need a major in this field?" Qin Shi asked.
"That's not necessary, but you must have a musical talent." Principal Wang said with a smile.
Qin Shi smiled, Yuan had a very good voice, and she was not bad at singing in her previous life, isn't that just right.
Qin Shi looked at Principal Wang, "Then I'll give you a voice?"
Principal Wang nodded, raised his hand, and asked her to sing.
Qin Shi cleared her throat, and said confidently: "My motherland and I~ cannot be separated for a moment~"
At the end of the song, the three of Principal Wang applauded collectively.
"What a song about me and my motherland, what a hymn. It's a new song. I didn't expect you to hear it, Xiao Qin. It's really good." Principal Wang laughed.
When Qin Shi heard that his name had changed, she knew that the matter was settled.
"The music teacher?" Qin Shi asked.
"No problem, I'll do it for you now." Principal Wang waved his hand, very cheerful.
It would be better for Qin Shi to be a music teacher, and he doesn't have to argue with Li Qianqian, he is also happy and relaxed.
The formalities were completed quickly, and Qin Shi walked out of the school with a smile on her face. On the way back, she happened to meet Li Qianqian. Seeing that her expression was a little strange, she immediately hooked her lips into a smile.
"Eh? Isn't this Comrade Li Qianqian?" Qin Shi walked in front of her and reminded her: "By the way, did you receive the notice? We don't have to compete, and you don't have to come to school tomorrow."
Li Qianqian looked at Qin Shi's smiling face, feeling disgusted in her heart, she put on a fake smile and nodded, "I already know."
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Li Qianqian couldn't help asking.
This is a fat job. She said no, so she didn't want it?
Qin Shi smiled slightly, and said, "It happens that there is a shortage of a music teacher, so I will go, that one is easier."
So the position of English teacher is given to you.
Li Qianqian clenched the hand holding the object, "So that's how it is."
Even though Li Qianqian knew that Qin Shi didn't know about her affairs, she still felt that she said that on purpose. Easier so choose that? Too tired to take care of three kids?
Li Qianqian looked at Qin Shi's leaving back, the smile on his face disappeared completely.
Obviously according to the plot, Lu Zetian will marry Li Qianqian next year, why did he suddenly get married?
Li Qianqian frowned and lowered her head, trying to recall the plot in the book, but she couldn't find out who "Qin Shi" was, so her expression became even uglier.
"Is it also wearing books?"
The author has something to say:
Qin Shi: Yes, the one who wears books, but not yours.
The heroine was tired in her previous life, and wants to relax in this life.
Forty yuan is a lot for a month, and the "stepmother"'s fifteen yuan is enough for her to spend.
