Chapter 28: Arrange the next date 

Ji Xiaoyue snorted when she heard this, “They didn’t say anything good about me, did they?”

Fu Liye paused for a moment, as if choosing his words carefully, “I won’t believe what others tell me, I only believe what I see. The Ji Xiaoyue I know is what she is.”

Ji Xiaoyue was silent for a moment when she heard Fu Liye’s words, and asked him softly, “They really didn’t say anything good about me.”

Fu Liye looked at Ji Xiaoyue quietly, “Actually, I don’t know why there are parents who would slander their own biological daughter like that, just to make another daughter look good.”

Ji Xiaoyue sneered sarcastically, “Because that daughter has nothing left to praise, they can only make themselves look good by belittling others.”

Then, she didn’t want to mention Ji Dahai anymore, she said to Fu Liye, “Do you have flour, pork, and scallions at home? I’ll make some meat buns for the children. It’s not too hot now, I’ll make a lot, enough to eat for two days.”

Fu Liye nodded, “Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?”

Ji Xiaoyue saw his hopeful expression, but he was still being polite, she burst out laughing, “No trouble.”

Fu Liye immediately took out the pork, scallions, and flour that he had prepared.

“I bought them this morning with the children. The two children said they wanted to eat the meat buns you made when you came.” Fu Liye had already taken out the prepared ingredients.

He wanted Ji Xiaoyue to make more, and then he would deliver them to people in the compound, telling them that Ji Xiaoyue made them.

The Ji Xiaoyue in his heart was kind and simple, not the kind of person described by Ji Dahai and his wife.

After Political Commissar Wang mentioned Ji Xiaoyue to Ji Dahai yesterday, Ji Dahai brought his wife and daughter to see him.

They kept saying that Ji Xiaoyue was raised in the countryside, she was uncultured and not good enough for him. They even said that Ji Xiaoyue was different from Ji Qingqing. They said that if it was Ji Qingqing, they wouldn’t say that.

He just asked them, “Chief Ji, the Ji Xiaoyue I know is not like what you said. Is it really true that your own daughter, who wasn’t raised by your side, is really no good at all?”

Ji Dahai’s face turned extremely ugly at that time.

He wanted to say something else, but he was stopped by Zhang Pingping and Ji Qingqing.

Ji Xiaoyue chopped the meat, kneaded the dough, and worked for an afternoon, making a lot of meat buns.

After steaming them, she said to Fu Liye, “Comrade Fu Liye, it might be too late to buy clothes for the children today.

How about this, I’ll measure the children’s size, I can actually make clothes and shoes, I’ll make two sets for the children.”

Fu Liye knew that she still had to make pig head meat and cold dishes, so he nodded.

After Ji Xiaoyue measured the children’s size, Fu Liye scratched his head and stammered for a long time before saying to her, “Comrade Ji Xiaoyue, do you want to measure me too? I don’t have any clothes, can you make two sets for me too?”

He said this and went into the room to get the cloth coupons and money, “This is what I originally prepared to buy for the children, see if it’s enough.”

He said these words with a flushed face, obviously embarrassed.

Fu Liye was much older than Ji Xiaoyue, but he had been busy with his career and hadn’t found a partner.

He didn’t know how to get along with women, but he knew that his feelings for Ji Xiaoyue were different.

The first time he saw her, he thought she was silly, but when he saw her fighting tooth and nail for other people’s children, he thought that someone who could work so hard for other people’s children must be very kind.

Ji Xiaoyue didn’t hesitate, she reached out and took the money and cloth coupons from Fu Liye, “Okay! I’ll buy some fabric at the supply and marketing cooperative when I go back. You might not like what I make, don’t dislike it.”

Fu Liye nodded repeatedly.

After Ji Xiaoyue steamed the meat buns, she said goodbye to Fu Liye and left.

After Ji Xiaoyue left, Aunt Zhang, who helped Fu Liye take care of the children, came over and asked, “Liye, did you ask her out?”

Fu Liye’s face flushed red, he was a little embarrassed and said, “She said she’ll make clothes for me and the children. She said she can make them, we don’t need to buy them.”

Aunt Zhang originally wanted to teach him, saying that after making the buns, Ji Xiaoyue wouldn’t have time to accompany him and the children to buy clothes.

Aunt Zhang could also make meat buns, she knew how long it would take to knead dough and make buns.

She said to Fu Liye, you can ask her out next time, this time it’s too late, just say you’ll buy them next time. This way you can ask her out next time, and you can see each other more often so you can date.

“It’s the same! Making clothes is also asking her out next time.” Aunt Zhang nodded in satisfaction.

The two children smelled the meat buns and went in to get some to eat.

The two children handed one to Aunt Zhang, “Grandma Zhang, try Sister’s buns, they’re delicious.”

Aunt Zhang took a bite and was also amazed, “Xiaoyue’s cooking is good, it’s much better than mine.”

Ji Xiaoyue was generous with the meat, thin skin and lots of meat. Aunt Zhang was reluctant to use pork, she made them big, and to make sure they were filling, she made the skin thick.

Aunt Zhang looked at the pile of meat buns and said to the two children, “Let’s go, we’ll go to the compound and give out the buns, we won’t give any to Ji Dahai’s family. We’ll tell everyone that your Sister Ji Xiaoyue made them.”

Aunt Zhang liked Ji Xiaoyue.

She knew Ji Xiaoyue before, and after she became a fool, she felt sorry for her for a while. Later, she learned that Ji Xiaoyue was driven away by Ji Dahai’s family, and she scolded Ji Dahai and his wife every day in front of her husband.

Now she was going to show off to Ji Dahai and his family.

Fu Liye nodded, “Okay, leave some for the children, you can give the rest away.”

Aunt Zhang took the two children to show off.

Ji Xiaoyue didn’t know about any of this.

She took the cloth…

After taking the cloth coupons and money, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy fabric and shoe soles, then went back.

She had been out for too long today, and now they needed a lot more pig head meat, her aunt and cousin would probably be too busy.

She rushed back with the fabric.

When she got back, her aunt and cousin had already prepared the pig head meat.

Ji Xiaoyue said apologetically, “Auntie, cousin, I was out for a long time today, I’ll be back earlier tomorrow.”

Wang Guihua frowned and said to Ji Xiaoyue, “Xiaoyue, don’t say that anymore, Auntie will be angry. We’re a family, who cares about who does more or less work.

You give all the money to Auntie to manage. We’re a family, who cares about who does more or less work.”

Ji Xiaoyue hugged Wang Guihua’s neck and acted cute, she hesitated for a moment and said to Wang Guihua, “Auntie, I went to Fu Liye’s place today, he told me that Ji Dahai’s family took care of him.

They don’t want me to marry Fu Liye. I thought about it all the way back.”

She said, paused for a moment, and said to Wang Guihua, “I originally thought that I wanted to think about my matter with Fu Liye. But Ji Dahai’s family did this, and I actually want to agree to Fu Liye.”

Ji Xiaoyue thought about it all the way back, she felt that Ji Dahai’s family was too much. She wanted to go back to the compound and deal with this family of weirdos.

Wang Guihua paused for a moment, “Xiaoyue, Auntie really thinks Fu Liye is a good person.

It’s not just about getting back at Ji Dahai’s family.”

Ji Xiaoyue asked her, “Then tell me, why do you think he’s a good person?”
