It’s a Stepmother, Not a Sister [70s]

     "Okay, I will visit this old man, thank you Mr. He for his guidance."

    He Wenjin did not say what the identity of the old man He was, but Jiang Shuangling felt that the person who could be recommended by He Wenjin must be worth visiting.

    "The old man has a weird temper, and he may not be willing to give you advice, it depends on fate, when you bring a few paintings, say I let you go, by the way, the old man has never in his life Other hobbies can be eaten in one bite." He Wenjin smiled, thinking of the awkward old man in his memory.

    Send him a gifted young man to chat to relieve his boredom.

    Jiang Shuangling brought some dried yaks when she came, and when she and Xue Li left, He Wenjin gave them two packets of dried shrimp.

    "The dry goods sent by relatives, you can take them home and try them."

    "Thank you, Mr. He."

    Jiang Shuangling and Xue Li came out of He's house, Xue Li sighed: "Mr. He is really nice."

    Jiang Shuangling nodded, "Yes, she is a person who is really fascinated by art."

    Xue Li nodded and said with a long tone, "In my eyes, you are also a person who is crazy and obsessed with art."

    Jiang Shuangling shook her head, "I'm just an ordinary layman who likes to paint."

    "I'm just an ordinary layman. Although I say I like to draw, it's uncomfortable to pick up a paintbrush. After that, my hands didn't want to work anymore."

      , we vulgars have already given up halfway."

    Jiang Shuangling tapped her head with a smile, "That's because your ambition is not there, great writer."

    "Don't call me a great writer, I can't afford it."

    "It's okay to call me a little writer."

    Jiang Shuangling couldn't help laughing, "Okay, then I'll call you... Xiao Zuojing."

    Xue Li: "??? What do you mean???"

    "Oh, a slip of the tongue, little writer Xue Li."

    "I learned a lot by the way."

    Xue Li thought that the other party is very special now, there is a female companion to accompany her to do things easily, and she can help with some things.

    "Okay, I'll invite you over then."

    After separating from Xue Li, Jiang Shuangling went to buy some more things, but didn't buy anything else, just bought pig trotters, pig fat intestines and kidney flowers, and used the thirty or so flowers that she got today. went to part.

    I don't know why, but she's been wanting to eat something heavy recently.

    Come on, they all love meat.

    Qi Yue hugged his father's thigh and asked, "Mom, is there anything good at home today?"

    Jiang Shuangling nodded and smiled: "Yes, little brats, another good thing happened at home. Mom, I paid a new fee for the manuscript, but this time I didn't eat the meat."

    Jiang Che hugged her brother-in-law's leg on the other side. Hearing this, he was very understanding and immediately replied, "Sister, as long as you have meat to eat."

    Qi Heng, whose legs were tied by the two children, stood in the middle, motionless, but raised his eyebrows and pursed his thin lips slightly, obviously he also wanted to eat meat very much.

    As soon as Jiang Shuangling's words landed, Qi Yue and Jiang Che immediately let go and stepped back.

    "Dad, let's go, don't climb on me."

    "Sister, I let go."

    Qi Heng: "…"

    Qi Yue clenched his small fists and firmly believed again: "When I grow up, I will come!

    Jiang Che also followed and said, "I'll come too!

    Jiang Shuangling: “…”

    Just cut a pig's trotter, don't make it look like a battlefield.

    Jiang Shuangling made a "please" gesture, "Qi Heng, come on, your wife, children, wife and brother are watching you."

    "The fat sausage and waist flower are beautifully cut."

    The two little guys also chatted next to each other: "Be more beautiful."

    "Look at you!

    Qi Heng's mouth twitched: "..."

    He walked over, picked up the kitchen knife on the cutting board, Jiang Shuangling made room for him, walked to the two children, and put both hands on the two restless shoulders.

    It is not suitable for children to use a knife to cut meat or something.

    Jiang Shuangling pushed the two little guys by the shoulders, took them out to fiddle with the radio, and also measured their bodies, "The weather is hot, I will make two sets of summer clothes for you. "

    I heard that there are new clothes to wear, and the two children temporarily put the meat aside. As the saying goes, since the meat can't escape to the mouth, then wait for the clothes first.

    "You two seem to have grown a lot taller again. You have grown really fast. Ache is much stronger than before."

    Jiang Che looked down at his little arm and asked in confusion, "Why don't you grow taller, sister?"

    Qi Yue replied: "Because my mother eats less."

    Jiang Shuangling: "...that's because I'm already an adult. Look at our comrade Qi Heng, if he continues to grow, can he still enter the house?"

    Qi Yue: "I can grow taller than my father."

    Jiang Che: "I..."

    Jiang Shuangling and Qi Yue looked at him together, Jiang Che paused, and answered honestly, "I can definitely be taller than my sister."

    Jiang Shuangling came over and scratched his face, "Can we set our goal higher, Ah Che, at least half a head taller than my sister."

    Qi Yue: "Then let's have more good things at home."

    Jiang Shuangling: “…”

    I just want to eat meat.

    No way, she wants to eat too.

    Jiang Shuangling helped the two little guys measure the size, but Qi Heng was standing at the kitchen door with a kitchen knife and raised her eyebrows at them.

    "Didn't you mean to look at me?"

    "My wife and children?"

    Jiang Che: "…"

    Qi Yue: "…"

    Jiang Shuangling: "..." Put down the knife!

     Leader Xiao Jiang quickly walked over and snatched the kitchen knife from Comrade Qi Heng's hand, telling him not to come out with the weapon to scare people.

    "I'm going to cook, and you can take care of the two children."

    Jiang Shuangling made a pot of braised pork trotters, hot and sour sausages, stir-fried kidney flowers, and a dish of bean sprouts at night. The smell of the first three dishes was very strong, especially the sour one Spicy and fatty sausages, sour and spicy, make people rub their noses.

      Complete and delicious.

      licked up.

    Both claws have turned into braised pork trotters.

    After the meal, Jiang Shuangling wiped their hands, picked up the two little hands and said with a smile, "It smells like braised pig trotters."

    Jiang Che: "Delicious!"

    Qi Yue: "Mom, will we eat braised claws next time something good happens in our family?"

    "You don't want to eat twice-cooked pork, don't want to eat chicken, don't want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, don't want to eat rabbit and dried bamboo shoots?"

    Qi Yue: "…I want to eat."

    "Unfortunately, I can only eat the same thing. I will wait until the next time something good happens to decide what to eat."

    Jiang Shuangling couldn't help but leaned over to their cold officer's side and sniffed, and found that the other party had almost become a soldier with braised pig's trotters mixed with hot and sour fat intestines.

    The more you eat, the stronger the taste.

    Qi Heng grabbed her hand and put a braised kiss on her face. When the two children saw each other, not to be outdone, the braised pig's trotters smelled.

    Jiang Shuangling: “…”

    Can't afford it.

    The taste is so strong, as if the family went to eat hot pot, the smell of spices continued.

    At night, I told the two little guys to wash their teeth cleanly and supervise every child to brush their teeth. Jiang Shuangling didn't want the two children's teeth to grow crooked, and crooked teeth would affect their appearance.

    The two handsome reservists don't grow crippled under her nose.

    "Brush your teeth carefully, otherwise you will get cavities."

    "Open your mouth and let me examine your baby teeth."

    The two little guys opened their mouths honestly and waited for the inspection of the leader of Xiaojiang. The two goods have not changed their teeth yet, they are all white and tender little deciduous teeth, and there is no problem for the time being.

    Of course, when the two change their teeth later, they must be extra careful.

    "Okay, go to bed, do you want to hear a story tonight?"

    "If Mom wants to talk, then tell us."

    "Sister, I want to tell a story to my little nephew."

    "Then you should practice telling stories to each other first, and when the child comes out, your two brothers and uncles will be able to tell stories to the little guy."

    Qi Yue spread his hands: "Okay, then let Jiang Er tell the story."

    “…Boss Qi also tells stories.”

    Jiang Shuangling also went to take a bath. After taking a bath, I don’t know if it was a psychological effect. It seemed that she could smell the smell of braised pig’s trotters occasionally, maybe it came from the kitchen of.

    Pushing the door and entering the room, Qi Heng, a quick-witted man, had already taken a shower, and was sitting beside the bed reading a book. The smell of braised pork is gone.

    Sit on the other side's lap and hug the man's neck. If it was before, she would not dare to be so arrogant, but now that she has a child in her stomach, the other side would not dare to do anything to her In this way, Jiang Shuangling wanted to try something she had never tried before.

    When she saw the other person drinking water before, the bulging Adam's apple rolled up and down with the swallowing movement, which looked extra **** and sultry.

    So, she just… wanted to give it a try.

    Maybe it was the braised pork trotters that brought her courage today.

    …It is said that the taste is very similar to gnawing on crispy bones.

    She had this idea when she was eating pig trotters before.

    Try it.

    Qi Heng put down the book in his hand, put his right hand on the woman's waist, and gently pulled it into his arms, making the distance between the two closer, the sweet heat sprayed on him On the edge of his collarbone, all the muscles in his body began to tense unconsciously.

    The cartilage on the neck was gently bitten, and Qi Heng did not know why only when she was in front of her could she overcome the instinct she had trained in the past, and was willing to give her the most deadly place .

    However, at that moment, the string in my mind was still broken, not because of other things, but because of the fire that started to burn.

    …

    When she woke up the next day, Jiang Shuangling looked at the large red mark on the edge of her collarbone that had not subsided, and felt that she was too naive last night.

    Don't try that kind of dangerous action.

    Fortunately, you don't have to go out to meet people today, otherwise there will be no foundation to cover up in this era.

    Jiang Hongping made up her mind to learn painting. She used the money she saved to buy painting paper, brushes and paints, and began to paint at home every day.

    Li Erhua scolded her for not wanting to be aggressive and wasting money, but Jiang Hongping felt that her mother was a stupid country woman, really stupid.

    "If you have nothing to do, finish the housework."

    "Mom, I still have to draw."

    "You lazy girl, after you get married, you won't have any good fruit to eat."

    Jiang Hongping lowered her head and muttered, "I will be different from you in the future."

    "Mom, I'm going to make some new clothes."

    "Okay, I'll make clothes for you, and when I'm done, show them to me."

    Jiang Hongping tilted her head indifferently, she planned to make a few sets of clothes similar to Jiang Shuangling, even if they were only cousins, they were still somewhat similar.

    Xiao Zhenchang, who has no vision, might like this.

    Jiang Hongping feels that she will have a good life in the future. She told Li Erhua that she came back from decades later, and asked her to curry favor with Xiao Zhenchang, but Li Erhua did not believe it, and felt that Jiang Hongping was in Nonsense, I don't believe her.

    Li Erhua rolled her eyes at her: "You said he can be the richest man, what about you? You come back from decades later, why can't you be the richest man by yourself."

    "You know the way before him, can't you make money first?"

    Jiang Hongping: "I—"

    Jiang Hongping was stunned, she did come back from decades later, but at that time she was already a middle-aged person who was suffering and tired. Think about making money.

    When she was young, she didn't want to suffer again.

    She is not stupid, she knows that she is not that diamond, so she does not work in porcelain, starting a business and making money is easy to talk about, but she also knows that Xiao Zhenchang had to wake up early in the first few years , How much hardship and suffering must be endured, and finally a career can be created.

    Why can Jiang Shuangling sit back and enjoy it all her life, and she can't experience the taste of sitting back and enjoying it?

    She doesn't want to do the dirty work herself, but she is willing to be the woman behind the richest man, support him and encourage him.

    As for anything else, she is helpless.

    Jiang Hongping went to Xiao Zhenchang several times again, and the other party always said no to her. With an identity like Xiao Zhenchang, no serious girl could look upon him.

    She can make this man work hard.

      .

    She just wants to live better than Jiang Shuangling.

    In the last life, Li Erhua was harassed by Li Erhua, and under the guise of Jiang Shuangling's orphan's identity, she pushed herself into the abyss with grace and repayment.

    …

    Jiang Hongping was in a mess, she chose a few pictures from her own paintings, and went to the captain of the production team, "Captain, what do you think of these paintings I drew?"

     Taking over the painting from her hand, the production team leader frowned, "How...how did you paint like this?"

    The characters above are crooked, and the strokes are very strange.

    "I didn't just draw, I'll be able to draw better in the future."

    "Then go back and continue studying."

    The smile on Jiang Hongping's face froze, why didn't she put her picture on the propaganda wall, obviously she was no worse than Jiang Shuangling.

    "By the way, I'll lend you this pictorial to go back and look at it. You don't know it yet. It has a painting by your cousin. If you like painting, you can also learn from it. study."

    "Look at how well your cousin draws, she has only been gone for a few months."

    "I didn't expect her to be talented in art. She was born in our small mountain village before, which really delayed her."

    Jiang Hongping's eyes widened: "What?? What did you say? Jiang Shuangling's painting? How is that possible?!"

    "How long did she learn to draw? Can she draw like that?!"

    "Did you read it wrong?"

    "Yes, I'll show it to you, it's your cousin's name, Jiang Shuangling, this is a Rongcheng pictorial, I remember that your cousin went to Rongcheng with your cousin-in-law. ?"

    "This is a good thing, go back and tell the Jiang family."

    "Your Jiang family's daughter is really promising."

    "Don't get this comic strip dirty, you have to give it back to me later. I made your family happy because I saw that you are the Jiang family."

    Jiang Shuangling's face turned pale, "No, it's absolutely impossible, it's just the same name and surname, how could my cousin's painting be selected for the pictorial? These don't all have to be art that has been studied for decades. Master's talent..."

    The production leader was stunned for a moment, "You are right, I will ask someone to go to Rongcheng to ask."

      The deputy spring ploughing picture, I posted it on the propaganda wall, and it was published in the newspaper immediately, and I was praised by the county."

    "I think your cousin is a lucky one. Your Jiang family should keep in touch with her."

    "If I can raise such a daughter in the future, I will be happy."

    Jiang Hongping anxiously said: "If not, then try my painting and put it on the promotional wall."

    The production captain frowned in embarrassment: "Okay, anyway, you are also Miss Jiang's sister, you are a bit talented, you can try it on it."

    "That's what you draw..."

     "Okay, thank you uncle, you can put it on the wall for me later, and call the whole production team to come and see."

    "No, you can post it yourself. I still have something to do. I'm going to the county soon, I don't have time to do this."

    Jiang Hongping gritted her teeth and had to post her own painting on the publicity wall, and she even left her name on the painting.

    After I posted it, not many people paid attention. Now the weather is too hot, and the double rush is approaching, so not many people have time to see what paintings.

    Occasionally someone sighs, "The level of this poster is not good!"

    "Jiang Hongping? The second girl of the Jiang family, compared with her cousin, how can she draw like this?!"

     Soon after, Jiang Hongping threw away all her paintbrushes.

    She doesn't like drawing at all.

    Jiang Shuangling painted a few works attentively, and was going to bring these works to see Mr. He, who was recommended to her by He Wenjin. She did not deliberately make any preparations. All the paintings were of the style she liked.

    Remembering that He Wenjin specially mentioned Mr. He, it was easy to eat. Jiang Shuangling, who drew several lotus pictures in June, remembered to make sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus.

    She also doesn't know what kind of taste Mr. He likes to eat, sweet, salty and spicy.

      Don't worry about eating.

    I got up early in the morning and made a big pot of sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, with some refreshing cold dishes such as braised lotus root, braised bean curd, braised seaweed, red bean glutinous rice cake and sour plum soup, Jiang Shuangling took these to eat is out.

    It's just perfect for summer.

    I distributed some luwei to the soldier who was driving on the road. After seeing Xue Li, Xue Li snatched what she was holding and took it in her own hand, "Little Jiang, you should take less weight. something heavy."

    "Don't worry, these aren't too heavy, I'm not that squeamish."

    The two found Mr. He's house according to the address given by He Wenjin. When they arrived, the old man was at home, and the one who opened the door for them was a young old man whose hair was not yet gray.

    After hearing about their intentions, let them enter their yard.

    "You are recommended by Xiao He, let me see the painting."

    He was formerly known as He Qinglong. Now he is teaching some children to learn art at the City Cultural Palace. He is not very famous in the art world, and he has only heard of his name in a small area.

    However, two of his disciples had mixed up, and some of them wanted to make up their minds to gain a relationship. Mr. He thanked the guests and didn't see anyone.

    Jiang Shuangling handed over her painting respectfully.

     Mr. He flipped through a few paintings, and he really had some meaning in his heart, "From now on, you can show me a painting every month."

    Jiang Shuangling was willing to give pointers after listening to him.

    I saw the person in front of me pick out a few paintings, "If it's this kind of painting, don't bring it to me."

    Jiang Shuangling blushed a little, those pictures really didn't have her own style, they were wise.

    "I'm just looking at Xiao He's sake to help you see the painting, nothing else."

    Jiang Shuangling nodded, the other party understood what he meant, he was just helping to give pointers, but there was no master-disciple relationship.

    Jiang Shuangling did not intend to be a teacher.

    "Don't bring that box next time, just be smart."
