Poor little thing is eating melons and watching the drama in the period literature

Chapter 158 Xu Ruyan

"Why do I have to be their stepmother just because I like them?"

Jiang Yuanyuan: "Everyone says so."

"Qi Zhiqing likes them because she wants to be Lin Wen and Lin Wu's stepmother. Otherwise, why doesn't she like other children? Lin Wen and Lin Wu are not cute."

Yu Qingtang scratched his head. It seemed to make sense...

Ugh, what's the point?

Liking children is liking children, but does liking a child mean you have to become the child’s stepmother?

How can this make sense?

Yu Qingtang quickly shook his head and threw the thought away.

As a result, when he turned his head, he saw Qi Lixia standing aside, his face blue with anger and his whole body trembling.

Yu Qingtang's eyes widened slightly, his embarrassment evident in his words.

He quickly reached out and picked up Jiang Yuanyuan in front of him, and covered her mouth with one hand.

"Hey, Qi Zhiqing, when did you come..."

"Well, children just say whatever they want, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously~"

Qi Lixia's face still looked very unhappy, but she couldn't argue with a little kid.

Yu Qingtang felt that this man looked quite normal at ordinary times, but when facing the Lin family twins, he liked the two children as if he was possessed by their biological mother. Maybe there was a plot behind the scenes controlling this.

She kindly reminded him, "Well, Qi Zhiqing, even though the child was talking nonsense and didn't know what he was saying, it wasn't him who said it. She learned it from someone else."

"Well, you understand?"

Qi Lixia took a deep breath: "I understand."

She is very generous to the children in the village because she likes children very much.

Perhaps because of their life experiences, I feel even more pity for the Lin brothers and can't help but care about them.

In her previous life, she had seen many short videos on a certain audio platform about the spread of rumors in the countryside. She thought they were exaggerated at the time, but now she really felt it.

Qi Lixia thought that in the face of rumors, as long as she kept a clear mind, she would not be led into making wrong decisions by the rumors.

Later, she deliberately stayed away from the Lin brothers and no longer cared too much about them.

Whenever I met the Lin brothers, I tried to treat them the same as other children.

Children like Qi Lixia, and adults will often defend her when they hear gossip about her.

The rumors in the team gradually died down, and the gossip topics changed one after another.

Yu Qingtang met the tailor Xu Ruyan through Dong Yue.

Dong Yue kept talking about Sister Xu, and Yu Qingtang thought Xu Ruyan was an old middle-aged woman. But when they met, he realized that it was just his stereotype.

She was a woman in her thirties. Her husband had died early, and she lived in a small courtyard and supported herself with her embroidery skills.

It was drizzling on the day we met. The rain slid down the umbrella and splashed on the ground, with the splashes more than half a meter high.

Yu Qingtang was wearing a knee-length dress when she went out. The water splashed on her calves, and the slight chill made her look down frequently.

It was not until they were close to their destination that Yu Qingtang raised his head at Dong Yue's call. At the same time, he raised his umbrella and saw Xu Ruyan standing quietly in front of the courtyard waiting for guests to approach.

"Sister Xu, why are you waiting outside?"

Dong Yue stood under the eaves, closing her umbrella. She said these words of complaint, but her tone showed a hint of intimacy.

Xu Ruyan has an elegant and refined appearance. Even though she is wearing a gray-blue linen shirt, her whole body exudes a quiet and indifferent temperament.

When she heard Dong Yue's words at this moment, she smiled slightly, as if an ancient painting came to life.

"Come in quickly."

The main room is not big, the lighting is poor, and it is dark.

Xu Ruyan stood by the door and turned on the light. The dim yellow light could barely illuminate the room.

"Please sit down." She took the kettle and made a bowl of brown sugar water for them.

Dong Yue introduced her: "This is Yu Qingtang, my friend."

Xu Ruyan nodded to Yu Qingtang: "Hello, my name is Xu Ruyan."

From the moment Yu Qingtang met Xu Ruyan, he felt like he had traveled into another world and became reserved.

"Hello, hello, I want to make some clothes."

"By the way, do you make men's clothing?"

Xu Ruyan: "I also make men's clothing, give me the size."

......

Yu Qingtang and Dong Yue came out after a short while because they still had to go to work.

The bicycle was parked at the entrance of the alley, and out of this alley was the bustling main street.

Yu Qingtang yawned and said, "It's too early today. Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for breakfast."

Dong Yue got on the bicycle: "Okay, I'll treat you."

Yu Qingtang was not polite: "I want to eat shredded pork noodles."

The two of them rode their bicycles very quickly towards the state-owned hotel, leaving a splash of water behind their wheels, and passers-by subconsciously avoided them.

At Xu Ruyan's house, she turned off the lights in the main room and walked into the side room.

The wing room is smaller than the main room, but it has a wooden window that can be opened.

There is a sewing machine in front of the window. It is raining today, so Xu Ruyan only opens the wooden window halfway. Then, with the help of this half light, she draws pictures, cuts cloth, and sews clothes at the small table.

Each step was orderly and logical, as if it had been done thousands of times before, without any mistakes.

She was interrupted by the sound of a couple arguing next door.

Looking at the watch on his wrist, Xu Ruyan put down the work in his hands and went to the kitchen to cook.

There was constant shouting and cursing from next door, so loud that it seemed as if they were afraid that she couldn't hear it. All kinds of dirty, smelly and evil words came through the wall and hit her from there.

Xu Ruyan ate and made clothes with an expressionless face.

......

The blackboard in the lobby of the state-owned hotel lists today's breakfast, with the chef's name at the end.

Yu Qingtang was happy when he saw Chef Lin’s name behind the shredded pork noodles.

"A bowl of shredded pork noodles with an egg."

Yu Qingtang sat at his seat and waited for his number to be called at the window.

At this time, Huo Chao pushed Bai Yishu in from the gate.

Seeing Yu Qingtang, Huo Chao pushed Bai Yishu over first.

Yu Qingtang asked: "Why did you come to town?"

I looked around and saw no one coming in. It seemed that Jiang Yuanyuan didn't come, and they didn't come to the town to play.

Huo Chao: "I'll take Yi Shu to the city hospital for a checkup."

Yu Qingtang looked at Bai Yishu with concern: "Isn't Doctor Ji treating your leg?"

Bai Yi's face was expressionless: "My legs hurt a little."

Huo Chao also said: "Doctor Ji said this is a good thing, proving that his leg can still be cured. Let's go to a large hospital in the city for a detailed examination and bring it back to him."

"Oh oh" Yu Qingtang nodded blankly. She didn't understand this either, but it sounded like it should be a good thing.

"congratulations!"

Dong Yue also said congratulations.

Huo Chao was delighted: "I appreciate your good words."

Bai Yishu still had no expression on his face, as if he was not the one being talked about.
