Forced to go to the countryside, the arrogant young lady got married and became a military wife

"Yes," Xiaofang nodded. "My mother said Third Aunt likes millet porridge, so she made it. She also asked us to bring over the clothes that Third Aunt had changed out of."

Shi Qingqian rubbed their fluffy hair and said, "There's no laundry to wash today. You should go back quickly. It's time to go to school soon."

Shi Qingqian watched Xiaofang and Xiaohui skipping away, her heart filled with warmth.

She stood at the door, thinking about how her parents-in-law had helped a lot with the house renovations.

Although they are family, we still need to show our gratitude.

Therefore, Shi Qingqian decided to cook a meal for them herself to express her gratitude.

However, Shi Qingqian soon realized a serious problem - she didn't know how to cook.

Standing in the kitchen, facing those unfamiliar cooking utensils and ingredients, Shi Qingqian was a little flustered for a moment.

She had seen many food bloggers’ cooking processes while watching videos before, and she still roughly remembered those cooking steps. She thought it would not be a big problem, but when she started to do it herself, she felt a little unconfident.

After standing there and thinking for a while, she decided to start with the simplest step of cooking rice.

Recalling the scene of my aunt cooking in the past, she would first put the rice into the basin and wash it carefully.

Then put the rice into the pot and add appropriate amount of water.

Finally, take out the first joint of your middle finger and compare it.

Completed!

Then, Shi Qingqian began to prepare the dishes. She took out some vegetables from the basket, including greens, radishes and potatoes.

Not knowing where to start, I had to bite the bullet and start cutting the vegetables. However, my movements were very clumsy and the vegetables I cut were of different sizes and shapes.

Shi Qingqian looked at the vegetables she had cut.

"Well... as long as I can cook it."

Shi Qingqian poured some oil into the pot and put the vegetables in.

With a "sizzle" sound, the oil splashed out, scaring Shi Qingqian so much that she quickly stepped back. She was frantically stir-frying the vegetables with a spatula.

But for some reason, a pungent smell suddenly spread from the kitchen.

Zhang Youdi next door thought her house was on fire, and the whole family hurriedly carried buckets of water to put out the fire.

What I saw was Shi Qingqian with a face covered in coal dust, and the pot was filled with black, completely unrecognizable...vegetables.

Zhang Lanxiang, Xu's father and others stood there in a daze, and then couldn't help laughing.

Shi Qingqian stood there awkwardly, her face flushed.

"Third sister-in-law, what are you doing? You scared us," Xu Huaimin said with a smile.

Shi Qingqian scratched her head embarrassedly: "I wanted to cook a meal for everyone to thank you for your help during this period, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Zhang Lanxiang took the spatula from her hand and said with a smile, "Qianqian, it's enough that you have this intention. Cooking is not something you can learn in a day or two."

Father Xu nodded: "Yes, Qingqian, we are family and we understand your intentions."

"I'll do it," Zhang Youdi said as he rolled up his sleeves and skillfully cleaned up the mess in the kitchen.

After a while, Zhang Youdi tidied the kitchen and started preparing meals again. She was very skilled, cutting and cooking in one go, and soon the kitchen was filled with fragrance.

Shi Qingqian watched from the side and was really impressed.

I thought cooking was a simple thing, but when I actually tried it I realized it’s not that easy.

She should just stick to her pen.

Soon Zhang Youdi prepared a table full of dishes that were delicious and fragrant.

"Second sister-in-law, your cooking skills are really great," Shi Qingqian exclaimed.

Zhang Youdi was so embarrassed by the praise that he scratched his head: "What's so good about this?"

"Okay, come to the table."

Zhang Lanxiang served the food for Zhang Yue and put it aside, and then everyone sat down at the table.

Zhang Lanxiang picked up a piece of fragrant meat and placed it in Shi Qingqian's bowl. Then, she smiled and asked, "Qianqian, I heard from your second uncle yesterday that the primary school in town is looking for teachers. I think you'd be a good fit. Would you like to give it a try?"

Shi Qingqian was slightly stunned, and the chopsticks in her hand stopped in mid-air. She looked at Zhang Lanxiang in surprise.

Father Xu agreed, "Yes, Qianqian, you are a high school student, you are more than qualified to be an elementary school teacher."

The eldest brother Xu Huaiguo put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Shi Qingqian and said: "Third sister-in-law, this is a good opportunity. You are educated and you will definitely be able to teach those children well when you go to school."

Second brother Xu Huaian nodded.

Second sister-in-law Zhang Youdi was serving food to Xiaofang and Xiaohui while smiling and saying, "Qianqian, don't hesitate. I heard that being a teacher is very well paid. You can earn more than 20 yuan a month, and during major holidays, you can even get rice and oil."

"Can Third Aunt come to our school? That's great," Qiming, Xiaofang and Xiaohui all cheered excitedly.

If Third Aunt really became their teacher, they would have a lot of face in front of their classmates, and no one would dare to bully them anymore.

Shi Qingqian put down her chopsticks, pursed her lips, and said, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother, and Sister-in-law, I'm not suitable to be a teacher."

Although she likes children very much, she only likes cute and obedient children.

There are many children in school, but who can guarantee that they are all well-behaved? There are always some naughty ones.

Where there are naughty children, there are naughty parents. Shi Qingqian can't stand it. She is worried that she will not be able to help but want to take action to eliminate the evil for the people.

Zhang Lanxiang frowned slightly after hearing what Shi Qingqian said and said, "This is such a pity."

I originally thought that since Shi Qingqian didn't want to go to work, she would have to find something to do, otherwise not only would she be bored at home, but people outside would also gossip about her.

Teachers are very popular. They don't need to be exposed to the wind and sun, and their reputation will be good if it is spread out.

Zhang Lanxiang wanted to persuade him again, but Father Xu shook his head and said, "Since Qingqian doesn't want to go, don't force her. Children always have their own plans."

Shi Qingqian looked at Xu's father gratefully and nodded slightly.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was silent for a moment, and everyone was thinking about their own things.

……

After what happened at the dinner table, Shi Qingqian felt that it was time for her to find something to do.

That's how it is in the countryside. Everyone is watched by many eyes. Even if she has enough money to live a good life, there are always gossips that she does nothing and only relies on Xu Huaian's allowance.

Xu's father and mother didn't say anything now because she had just come in, but as time went on, she would inevitably be affected by the rumors.

But it was impossible for her to punch in for work every day; she couldn't get up.

After thinking about it, I had no choice but to go back to my old job.

Shi Qingqian holds a double doctorate in French and Spanish, but is also proficient in Russian, English, Japanese, German and other foreign languages.

Although she didn't work before, she would occasionally take on translation work and had no problem supporting herself.

Now in the 70s, translation talents are even more popular.

Shi Qingqian decided to restart her translation career.
