This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chapter 279: Dinner Table Chat Qi Panqiu Advises Chen Shuning to Enter Politics

Liu Xianghua took the wild vegetables out of the pot, washed them with clean water, squeezed out the moisture and put them into a basin.

Chen Shuning walked into the house with brisk steps, took out a few heads of garlic from his pocket, and handed them to Liu Xianghua: "Mom, these are given by Aunt Daping. She said that they are delicious when mashed into garlic and dressed as wild vegetables."

"You kid..." Liu Xianghua raised her eyelids and glared at Chen Shuning, scolding, "Why did you take Daping's things? She's having a hard time, don't take advantage of her."

Chen Shuning picked up the palm-leaf fan on the Eight Immortals Table, fanned it, and said, "I won't take advantage of you for nothing. Starting tomorrow, Erya will come over to work. With one more person earning money at home, our lives will soon get better.

Aunt Daping begged me to give it to her, and if I didn't take it, I was afraid she would think too much. Her two sons are making a fuss again, what an ungrateful pair of wolves."

Guo Junyue opened her sleepy eyes, stretched, and climbed off the kang. The strong aroma of peppercorns and hot oil mingled and entered her nose through the crack in the door.

"Mom, wake up."

Qi Panqiu rubbed her eyes and turned over to sit up. Dim light filtered through the window paper into the room. She hurriedly got off the kang, muttering, "I overslept, Junyue, get off the kang quickly."

Qi Panqiu casually gathered her hair and murmured, "How rude! It's my first time visiting you, and you're already sleeping so late."

Guo Junyue put on her shoes, picked up the comb on the kang cabinet, and combed her hair carefully in front of the mirror.

"Mom, look at this mirror. This is the mirror I stuffed into Junshan's schoolbag before he left Beijing. This brat looks so cold, but I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful."

Qi Panqiu said perfunctorily: "Don't worry about the mirror, just go over there!"

Chen Shuning set the table and looked up to see Qi Panqiu and her daughter. She greeted them warmly, "Auntie, sister, please take a seat. The food will be ready soon. Our food is not very good, so please make do with what you have."

"I'm not picky about food." Qi Panqiu looked at Liu Xianghua and asked, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I slept too deeply and got up late."

Chen Shuning smiled and said, "You've come all the way from Beijing, and you're exhausted from the journey. It's only natural that you get some extra sleep. When Grandpa Wang first arrived in our village, he was also so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes."

Chen Feng sat on the chair and urged, "Niece-in-law, wash your hands and eat quickly. You can also try our rural food. I dare not say it is delicious, but try it for fun."

Guo Junyue sat down next to Chen Shuning, looked at the unknown wild vegetables on the plate, and asked, "Shuning, what is this?"

"This is wild celery," Chen Shuning introduced with a smile. "It tastes a bit like celery, but it grows in rivers and has very thin stems. Sister, try it quickly. My mom added mashed garlic."

Liu Xianghua filled a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of Guo Junyue, urging her, "Junyue, this is rice porridge. It's hot, so I'll pour out the porridge soup and replace it with cold water. This is delicious."

Guo Junyue hurriedly waved her hands, put the porridge in front of Chen Shuning, and said with a smile: "Auntie, I'm a dancer. I need to maintain my figure and can't eat rice."

"Ah? Then what do you usually eat?" Li Zhen asked with concern, "How can you not eat?"

Guo Junyue laughed a few times and replied, "Grandma, I usually only eat vegetables. I only eat a few bites of rice and noodles occasionally."

Qi Panqiu explained, "Auntie, this plate of wild vegetables is quite good. Let Junyue have it! Let's have porridge. Come, I'll serve you a bowl."

"Oh, how pitiful." Li Zhen sighed, "Is it okay to eat a few bites? Your leader is not here."

How could they not feed a good person? Li Zhen didn't understand. She thought it was something capitalists did, and she was very dissatisfied.

Guo Junyue waved her hands and said, "That won't work! If I get fat, I can't be the lead dancer. Even though the leader didn't follow me, she can't be fooled by the weight on my body."

Chen Shuning gave Guo Junyue a bowl of wild vegetables, and then said to Li Zhen, "Grandma, you don't understand. Sister Junyue is the lead dancer. There is only one lead dancer in their unit, and not everyone can be the lead dancer.

Many leaders have seen her performances. If she gets fat, she won't be able to be the lead dancer anymore, and we can't let it hinder her career."

Li Zhen said distressedly, "Then let's not eat rice. Tomorrow, grandma will pick wild vegetables for you. You can't eat rice, but you must eat enough vegetables!"

Guo Junyue said sweetly: "Hey, thank you grandma."

After a mouthful of porridge, Chen Shuning suddenly had an idea and thought of the key point. He asked, "Sister Junyue, if you leave, what will happen to the dance troupe?"

"Song Ci is the lead dancer." Guo Junyue clenched her chopsticks, her eyes filled with resentment, and gritted her teeth as she said, "The leader named her and asked her to take my place."

Chen Shuning bit his chopsticks and looked at Guo Junyue worriedly.

"Sister Junyue, don't be discouraged." Chen Shuning comforted her, "You've been a lead dancer for so many years, and you have more stage experience than her."

"I'm not afraid of her unless we're fighting her head-on." Guo Junyue said angrily, "I'm angry because she can't beat me, so she resorts to these crooked methods. I look down on her."

Qi Panqiu said calmly, "That's why your father arranged for you to rest for a while. Since the Song family wants to seize power, let's help them."

Guo Junyue said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, not only did you and Dad not help me, but you also followed Song Ci's wishes. Am I your child?"

Chen Shuning held Guo Junyue’s wrist and explained softly: “Sister, my aunt means to follow Song Ci. She is not capable enough and will get into trouble sooner or later.

There's no need to break up with Song Ci over this. She's not important, but the people who support her are. If you stay at my house for a while, things will turn around sooner or later."

Qi Panqiu looked at Chen Shuning with approval. This girl had a high level of political awareness. She was not as naive as Guo Junyue, nor as reckless as Guo Junshan.

"Shuning is right, Junyue, that's what your father and I mean. You should practice dancing well these days. Your father is contacting the TV station.

If everything goes well, after you return to Beijing, the TV station will second you to rehearse the program. "Take a long-term view, don't just focus on the immediate benefits."

Chen Shuning swallowed the pickles and calmly analyzed: "Song Ci occupies the position of lead dancer. If she wants to go to the TV station, it will disrupt the dance troupe's arrangements, and the leaders will not let her go.

The TV station's secondment of dancers couldn't be concealed. If Song Ci argued with you, whether she succeeded or not, she would offend the leaders behind her.

Sister Junyue, as the lead dancer in the dance troupe, only a limited number of people can see you. If you are seconded to the TV station, audiences across the country can appreciate your dancing. If you want to dance for the rest of your life, this opportunity is rare.

Qi Panqiu's eyes became softer as she looked at Chen Shuning. She finally understood why her father-in-law liked Chen Shuning so much and why her son was like a possessed person, always thinking about her.

She was only 19, yet her thinking was already so mature. She disdained conspiracy and scheming, but she played open schemes with perfect clarity. Conspiracies can be broken, but open schemes are invincible.

"Shuning, you should go into politics." Qi Panqiu praised: "If you go into politics, your future is limitless."

"Aunt, I haven't thought about it that much." Chen Shuning looked directly into Qi Panqiu's eyes and said with a smile, "Only after you finish college will you know what you want to do in the future."
