Shen Anan looked at her with a bright smile: "I have something to do, and I would like to ask sister-in-law Xiaohua for help."
Seeing her look, and thinking of her previous slander and frame-up of Jiang Zhiling, Zheng Xiaohua asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"
Although she doesn't want to talk to him, her husband works under Sheng Hao.
Sheng Hao is the company commander, and her husband is the platoon commander, his immediate superior.
Therefore, Zheng Xiaohua did not dare to offend, lest she cause trouble to her husband.
Shen Anan held her hand affectionately and said sincerely: "Sister-in-law Xiaohua works in a small workshop. She should know how to fry the base ingredients, right?"
Zheng Xiaohua quickly withdrew her hand: "I can't, I'm in charge of packaging."
Hearing this, Shen Anan said with a smile: "Even if it's just packaging, it will be a little bit, right? Sister-in-law, I want you to teach me how to make the base."
After the words fell, Zheng Xiaohua exclaimed: "How can that be done? Sister Zhi Ning said that the base recipe cannot be spread out, otherwise we will lose money."
Shen Anan said sincerely: "I know this is a bit difficult, but I have no choice but to ask my sister-in-law for help. My man likes spicy hotpot, but Jiang Zhiling and I don't get along, so I don't want to go to a small workshop to buy it. .”
Zheng Xiaohua shook her head vigorously: "No, no, I really can't do this. Madam, company commander, don't be reluctant to give up money."
"Of course I'm willing to give up the money, but I have a grudge against Jiang Zhiling, and I really don't want to go to a small workshop to buy it. So, I want to ask Sister-in-law Xiaohua to teach me how to make it. Don't worry, I will never spread the word."
"The company commander's wife..."
Shen Anan said gently: "Sister-in-law Xiaohua, please help me. I will remember this favor. Brother Sheng Hao is a grateful person. Maybe the platoon leader will be promoted to the company commander soon."
"This..." Zheng Xiaohua hesitated after hearing this.
Her man kept complaining that Sheng Hao could be a company commander at a young age because of the Sheng family, but he could only be a small platoon leader.
If Sheng Hao is willing to help, his man's promotion should be faster.
Seeing her wavering, Shen Anan continued: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't tell the formula. When the time comes, you will know it and I will know it, and no third person will know it."
"You really don't know how to make the base?" Zheng Xiaohua asked tentatively.
Shen Anan nodded affirmatively: "I promise. I just want to learn how to make the base material, so that I don't have to take care of Jiang Zhiling's business all the time, which makes me feel uncomfortable."
Seeing her sincere look, Zheng Xiaohua compromised: "Okay, as long as you don't pass on the recipe, I will teach you. You really can't tell it, otherwise it will hurt me. Sister Zhi Ning said, It would cost a lot of money to spread the word."
Shen Anan said with a bright smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm keeping my mouth shut. I will definitely thank you when the time comes."
Zheng Xiaohua heard what she said, and under the inducement of interests, she finally believed her words: "That's okay. I happen to have ingredients at home, and I'll teach you. But you must remember not to let the third person know."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry." Shen Anan said with a smile.
So Zheng Xiaohua led Shen Anan into the house.
Where she couldn't see, Shen Anan's eyes flashed with a smile.
The next day, Jiang Zhiling played with Xixi in the military compound.
She had just returned from a hot pot restaurant, and the carpenters were decorating the store according to her design.
Seeing that nothing happened, she came back.
In three months, Xixi will be two and a half years old and can be sent to daycare. At that time, she can go about her own business more leisurely.
Although the military wife suggested that it can be sent now.
But in modern times, she saw that her colleagues’ children were sent to daycare when they were two years old. At that time, their immunity was weak and they often got sick. Taking care of them when they were sick was also tiring.
Therefore, she would rather send the child away later, when the child is older and in better physical condition.
Moreover, she enjoyed the warmth Xixi brought her.
"Mom." Xixi picked a small wild flower and ran towards her excitedly.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhiling bent down, and Xixi happily inserted the wild flowers into her black hair.
"Mom is more beautiful than flowers." Xixi clapped her hands and said in a sweet voice, "Better than flowers."
Jiang Zhiling pinched her cheek lovingly: "Thank you Xixi."
"Mom, there's no need to say thank you to Xixi." Xixi said, jumping and running towards the lawn.
Jiang Zhiling looked at her with a smile in her eyes until a voice sounded: "Miss?"
Jiang Zhining looked sideways and saw Shen Xuesong looking at her in surprise.
"Teacher Shen, what a coincidence, are you coming to the military compound?" Jiang Zhining was surprised.
Shen Xuesong came to her and explained with a smile: "A student is injured. Send him back."
"Teacher Shen is really a good and responsible teacher."
Shen Xuesong smiled slightly: "This is what a teacher should do. Is he also the child of Captain Song?"
Jiang Zhiling hummed: "Yes."
Shen Xuesong looked at her delicate and beautiful side face and asked the doubts in his heart: "Miss, I don't quite understand. Many girls are not willing to be stepmothers. Miss is so young, why do you..."
It was also after the parent-teacher meeting that night that Shen Xuesong met Song Ye's class teacher and found out that Jiang Zhiling was their stepmother.
Jiang Zhiling responded with a chuckle: "Of course it's because of Comrade Yu Zhou's kindness. Besides, I don't think being a stepmother is such a shame."
Hearing her words, Shen Xuesong was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "It's really not shameful. As long as the child is filial, it doesn't matter whether he is his biological child or not."
"Yes." Jiang Zhiling suddenly thought of something and said quickly, "Teacher Shen, please wait a moment. I said I would give you some cakes last time, but I forgot to bring them with you last time. It just happened to be today."
"No, there's no need to be so outspoken." Shen Xuesong quickly declined.
"Yes, please wait a moment, I'll go back to the house to get it." Jiang Zhiling said, turned around and ran not far away.
Shen Xuesong looked at the running figure and her long black hair dancing in the air, and was a little stunned.
For some reason, when Shen Xuesong looked at Jiang Zhiling, he always had the illusion of déjà vu.
As if I had seen it somewhere before.
Jiang Zhiling came back quickly with a small box and handed it to him: "This is the red bean cake I made myself. As a courtesy, give it a try."
Looking at the cute red bean cake, Shen Xuesong thought for a while and took it with a smile: "Then I'm welcome."
Taking the small box, Shen Xuesong picked up a round red bean cake and put it in his mouth to chew.
Looking at his side face and expression while eating red bean cake, Jiang Zhiling was in a daze for a second. He looked exactly like her senior.
In a daze, it seemed like I was back in college.
"It's delicious. The aroma of red beans is rich, sweet but not greasy. It's really delicious." Shen Xuesong said with appreciation, "This is the best red bean cake I have ever tasted."
Jiang Zhiling responded proudly: "Of course, this is the only one."
Shen Xuesong couldn't help but stare at her face for a few more seconds with her raised, pretty face and the dazzling confidence in her eyes.
Not far away, Xixi was holding a flower, her little eyebrows were knitted, and she had a troubled look on her face: "Why does this uncle keep staring at mom?"
