Xiao Yang laughed dryly twice, then started to talk nonsense: "You know, I like to read some idle books. When I go to the big market in the countryside, I will also find some old books to read. I didn't expect that there was a cookbook among them. There is not much fun in our country, so sometimes I rely on reading these random books to kill time."

After all, he couldn't possibly tell Sister Hua that he'd traveled from 40 years in the future. If that happened, wouldn't Sister Hua think he was a psychopath?

Although Xiao Yang was talking nonsense, Sister Hua took it seriously: "Well, there are also many good things in the countryside. Maybe this is passed down from some wealthy families."

He smiled and continued, "Sister, I'm not very good at cooking, but I have memorized quite a few recipes. If you don't know what to cook in the future, just ask me. I'll write you a few better ones then."

Sure enough, when she said this, Sister Hua's face turned a little ugly.

Unable to hold back, she rolled her eyes. "Look at Xiaoye too. A grown man like him, he keeps popping into the kitchen every day. He takes over all my work, and it makes me so anxious every day!"

She is now working at the Lin family, earning 30 yuan a month, with food and accommodation provided. It can be said to be a very good job.

Originally, she was doing this job very steadily, but Ye Tian took over all her work as soon as he came. It seemed that she, the nanny, was a little redundant. If she was really fired, where would she find such a good job?

Xiao Yang sighed deeply upon hearing this: "I completely agree with what you said! Ye Tian is so capable, and it seems that I am just a useless person who just wants to eat and wait for death!"

This remark resonated deeply with Sister Hua. She patted Xiao Yang's shoulder, empathizing with him. "Don't I feel like I'm just living a life of idleness? But this is all I can do at home. It's really frustrating!"

Xiao Yang nodded: "I've made up my mind. I'm going to go out and look around in a few days to see if I can find a job."

"Oh, finding a job is a big deal. It's best to ask your Uncle Lin to help you find one."

As she spoke, Sister Hua caught a glimpse of Xiao Yang's handsome face from the corner of her eye, and her eyes lit up as she said, "I heard a few days ago from a nanny in another courtyard that Beijing TV Station is hiring. How about you ask Aunt Chen to help inquire and see if she can find some connections for you?"

Xiao Yang couldn't help but be stunned, and the words that the liar said on the train suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

I just don't know how much truth there is in what he said. If I could really get a job at a TV station, slacking off while preparing for next year's college entrance exam would seem like a good option.

After making up his mind, Xiao Yang prepared to go to the TV station tomorrow.

At this moment, Sister Hua suddenly smiled and said, "It's getting late now. I should prepare dinner."

Xiao Yang followed her and put the dishes in the kitchen. Glancing at the scallops in the basin, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head - if he really waited until the day after tomorrow to cook this, he was afraid it would go bad by then.

After a moment's hesitation, he decided to remind Sister Hua, "We can deal with these scallops first. We can steam them the day after tomorrow according to the recipe. It will probably be much more convenient, and at least we won't make mistakes in a hurry."

Sister Hua was stunned at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it really made sense. He nodded gently and said with a smile, "You are really thoughtful!"

So the two of them started busying themselves in the kitchen.

Not long after he finished his work, Ye Tian came back with a stern face.

Even if Xiao Yang used his ass to think, he could guess that he must not have returned the clothes. But he didn't know that this guy hadn't given up yet and said he would go again tomorrow.

Xiao Yang did not comment on this. After all, he had something to do tomorrow and didn't have time to accompany him.

The next day, after Ye Tian went out to return the clothes, Xiao Yang said hello to Sister Hua and prepared to go to the dinner party he had agreed to with Lin Caiwei.

Unexpectedly, Sister Hua called him over mysteriously. After making sure no one else was home, she pulled out a lunch box from the cupboard: "I tried your recipe a while ago. It's really delicious. Didn't you say you were going out to dinner with friends today? Bring this with you, and you'll save a dish!"

Xiao Yang was stunned. After opening the lunch box, he found that it contained eight steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli.

Xiao Yang was somewhat touched, but still asked worriedly, "Is it enough for the guests tomorrow if I take so much?"

Sister Hua immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's still plenty left. Besides, I have to make some other dishes."

Since things had already come to this, Xiao Yang naturally couldn't refuse. He found a bag, picked up the lunch box, and walked out of the house.

At the same time, Lin Caiwei and Zhou Ying hadn't forgotten their agreement with Xiao Yang. As soon as the rehearsal was over, the two of them headed towards the gate.

However, before she took a few steps, Director Wang blocked Lin Caiwei's way and said, "Hey, Caiwei, I was just worried and didn't expect to see you!"

As he spoke, the smile on his face grew even brighter. "Political Commissar Zhang's son has been assigned to our art troupe. He's a doctor in the infirmary. Isn't it almost noon? Take him to have a meal and get him familiar with the troupe."

Lin Caiwei refused without even thinking: "Sorry, I have something to go out for today. You can give this task to other comrades."

Director Wang smiled and said calmly, "Then take him out for a walk. You young people are easier to communicate with!"

Zhou Ying's brows slowly furrowed. Wasn't it obvious that Old Wang was trying to bring Commissar Zhang's son and Captain Lin together?

Lin Caiwei obviously knew this too. His brows were furrowed, and his face was full of resistance.

Seeing this, Director Wang simply stopped hiding his true feelings. "That young man graduated from the Medical School of Jingcheng University. Originally, he was going straight to a tertiary hospital. He only came here because of his father's reputation. You don't want our art troupe to lose such an outstanding talent, do you?"

I have to admit, this statement is a bit like PUA. Usually, even the hardest-hearted people have to give in.

But unexpectedly, Lin Caiwei just said coldly: "A forced melon is not sweet. Since you don't want to come here, you won't stay long even if you force yourself to."

Director Wang had obviously expected him to say that. Far from getting angry, he smiled and said, "Then I can't do anything about it. Anyway, the young man is already waiting at the door. He knows you, so if you don't want to, just go and tell him yourself!"

After he finished speaking, Director Wang left without even looking back.
