Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Xiao Fangfang eats lychees.

Qian Juxiang looked around at Li Hong's residence and said that there was nothing wrong with it except that it was expensive.

Although the area of ​​the entire house is not as large as the room she lives in now, the walls are painted white and the floor is a clean and easy-to-maintain cement floor. It has everything you need, including tables, chairs, and beds. It is a place where a girl lives alone, and it is kept very clean. She said that the lighting in the building is also good, and it looks even whiter and brighter at night when the white lights are on.

If Qian Juxiang had not seen her daughter's luxurious house, she would have been very satisfied to live in this small house. And there would be nothing to worry about for her youngest son to rent a house here. Isn't it much cleaner and tidier than the doghouse he sleeps in at home?

Li Hong is a young and pretty girl, so she inevitably buys some beautiful clothes and shoes. In order to save as much money as possible, she added electric kettles, rice cookers, dishes and other equipment to her kitchen. Whenever she has time, she buys vegetables and cooks simple meals. Therefore, no matter how much she cleans, the house is still a bit crowded.

When the fourth child comes, he will be able to live comfortably with a bed and two or three sets of clothes. He can go to his sister's house for dinner, or go to his brother-in-law's store to have a meal. As for my daughter and her husband, it should be no problem to provide them with food.

Boys, don't need to be spoiled too much. Isn't a good life just about having enough to eat and sleep? Thinking this, Qian Juxiang became increasingly excited as she dragged Aunt Zhang around, carefully examining the small room inside and out. Li Hong enthusiastically invited everyone to sit down and eat lychees, but only Liu Suqin responded enthusiastically, quickly peeling one and throwing it into her mouth. Then, her eyes lit up, she peeled another, splitting off a fingernail-sized piece of flesh and feeding it to the girl Li Hong was holding.

Little Fangfang had never eaten this kind of fruit before. She had unconsciously opened her mouth wide to watch her mother eat, but suddenly a piece of cold fruit was stuffed into her mouth. Her little brows wrinkled subconsciously, but her body honestly smacked her lips twice. Only then did she realize that her mother was feeding her sweet and juicy fruit. The little one's eyes lit up instantly, and her mouth moved quickly to chew. After finishing a small piece, she immediately waved to her mother, "Mom, it's delicious!"

Liu Suqin watched her series of rich expressions and smiled like an aunt. "You like it, don't you? But children can't eat too much, no more than two a day, just taste it."

"You eat the lychees so happily, but you only give two to us, Xiao Fangfang. Aren't you a little stingy?" Li Hong protested strongly. If she didn't need to protect the struggling child with her hands, she would have wanted to help the poor little girl peel the lychees herself.

"It's okay. Eating too much can easily cause a sore throat. If you can't hum, it'll be time for vomiting again." Liu Suqin explained with a smile, then turned and asked, "But the lychees you bought this time are really fresh, sweet and juicy. The stall is in the night snack street, right? Let's go back later to see if they're still selling them."

When Li Hong heard that it was for the child's health, she said nothing more and nodded. "The stall is not far from your house, but there weren't many left when I bought it. The owner said it was freshly picked from his own tree. Next time I see them, I'll buy some more and bring it to your house. There's a refrigerator anyway, so it won't go bad in a few days."

"Okay, you haven't come to my house for dinner in a while. You must come this Sunday. By the way, are the training courses so busy?"

Upon hearing this, Li Hong began to talk non-stop about her class experience.

Unlike Liu Suqin, who had studied and understood makeup at an early age and had her own dressing experience and insights, Li Hong had never even heard of most of the cosmetics and tools needed for class. In the first few days of class, she was completely in the dark and had to continue learning with gritted teeth.

However, two months passed, and with the mutual encouragement and progress of her classmates, she gradually began to learn the ropes. Especially after learning that Liu Suqin and Ahui were making a lot of money by taking private jobs outside, she became even more motivated. She even wished the teacher would not end the get out of class so that she could study for more than twenty hours a day!

Seeing her friend's beaming face, Liu Suqin was generous with her encouragement and took out her salary that she had received today and the news of her early regularization to encourage her.

After hearing this, Li Hong became more confident in this line of work, and her eyes were determined as if she wanted to join the party.

The topic turned to Liu Suqin's work, and inevitably talked about the family portrait that she had planned for a long time but had not been able to implement.

This time, the protagonists of the family portrait were only the three of them, but anyone who had seen the photo in Liu Suqin's bedroom that looked like a celebrity poster would be curious and excited about it. Li Hong was no exception. Seeing Liu Suqin's solemn promise that it would definitely be arranged this month, she held her chin with one hand and looked longingly, "Really? Let me know before you go, and I'll see if I have time to go and join in the fun."

"It's unlikely. If our employees were to take photos, they'd definitely choose a relatively quiet time like a weekday, and you have classes to attend too." Liu Suqin was blunt and unequivocal. However, seeing her friend's disappointed look, she offered some comfort. "You don't have to follow us to watch the fun. When you make some money, you can experience the photography process yourself and take some portraits. How about this? When you graduate, I'll book a photo package for you at the studio as a graduation present. How about that?"

Li Hong flatly refused. She hadn't given Suqin any gifts since she graduated and started working, so how could she accept such an expensive gift? "I know you're not short of money now, so why not order a set meal for yourself? And since you take beautiful photos, don't you want to take some more as a souvenir?"

Liu Suqin really couldn't refuse her friend's suggestion. After thinking about it, she came up with another plan, "How about we take a sister photo together? I'll treat you, right?"

"Are there any photos of sisters?"

"Yes, the customer is God. As long as the customer wants, couples, married couples, parents and children, parents, friends and sisters, all can be photographed."

Li Hong stopped being polite and said enthusiastically, "This sister photo sounds interesting, so let's do it. However, I'm going to be busy looking for a job after graduation and then getting used to my new job, so I probably won't have time. How about we wait a bit longer? When I find a job like you and get a permanent position, we can take a sister photo to celebrate. You don't have to pay then, we can just split the bill."

Liu Suqin raised her eyebrows, "That's amazing, even AA knows about it."

Li Hong chuckled, "You're right. Young people should go out and see the world. I even learned a few foreign words from my classmates, like hello and goodbye. I didn't understand these things before. I didn't even know there were so many countries out there."

Liu Suqin gave a thumbs up and said, with Li Hong's personality and ability, it would be a waste of her talent to return to her hometown in a small county. She could only thrive if she stayed in Shenzhen.

The plan for taking photos with best friends was happily finalized in a few words. Going out to eat melons gave her something to do, but Liu Suqin was not in a hurry at all. Just like Li Hong herself said, she still had to look for a job after graduation, work hard to adapt to the new job and get a regular job. There was still a long time.

It's already May, it's great that they can take this photo of their best friends this year, it's not a big problem.

When Li Hong bought the lychees, she didn't know she had to entertain the guests. One pound of lychees was obviously not enough to share. Liu Suqin ate a few to try them out and then stopped eating. She wiped her hands, picked up the noisy little guy, and walked around to comfort him. She also gave the stool to the other three people.

Qian Juxiang and the others also tasted a few each and finished the whole pound of lychees. After exchanging a few words, they washed their hands and said goodbye.

There were many of them and there was nothing unsafe on the road, so they insisted on not letting Li Hong take them out of the urban village. Li Hong pushed and shoved, but still insisted on sending the group downstairs before stopping. She watched them walk away before going back upstairs.

Liu Suqin deliberately passed by the fruit stall that Li Hong mentioned, and found that the stall was indeed closing up.

On the way, she also looked at the fried noodle stall which was still surrounded by customers. Lin Nanjiang and the others were busy, so she didn't go in to say hello. She just called out from a distance and their eyes met. They nodded to each other and understood each other's meaning. Liu Suqin took the elderly and children home directly.

However, after sitting at Li Hong's place for half an hour and walking back and forth for more than an hour, even after returning home and starting to clean up and wash up, it was almost ten o'clock when Liu Suqin lay down in bed. She fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow. However, in her half-awake state, she heard the slight sound of the door opening. Liu Suqin suddenly woke up and murmured, "Nanjiang?"

Lin Nanjiang continued to push the door gently, his voice low and full of surprise, "Did I wake you?"

"No, I just lay down." Sometimes sleepiness is like this, coming quickly and going even faster. Liu Suqin's mind suddenly became extremely clear. She simply reached out and turned on the bedside lamp. "But why are you back so early today?"

Knowing he hadn't woken his wife, Lin Nanjiang finally pushed the door open with confidence. As he closed it, he explained, "I didn't know Quansheng would be back so early. I thought I couldn't handle it alone, so I didn't prepare many ingredients. Plus, there were customers lining up all day, so to save time, I usually fried three or four portions of noodles at a time. That's why I packed up and came back early."

"Then go wash up quickly. It's a good time to rest early tonight."

In fact, there was no need for Liu Suqin to urge him at all. Seeing that his wife was still awake, Lin Nanjiang was completely excited. As he spoke, he quickly rushed to the bathroom with his pajamas, took a quick shower, and came out, impatiently calling out, "Wife."

His wife was emotionally stable at this point, in other words, free from worldly desires. She held out her hand to block the approaching face and spoke calmly, "Business was so good tonight, how much did you make?"

"Uh..." A slender finger gently pressed against his forehead, which didn't really hinder his approach, but Lin Nanjiang seemed to be sealed, and he didn't move. He replied honestly, "I went back to my room to wash up as soon as I got home. I haven't had time to settle the bill yet. I will find time to count the money tomorrow morning."

Liu Suqin frowned, but considering that he had taken the initiative to work overtime today, her expression softened and she reminded him gently, "Then don't mix the income from the stall with the money from the store."

"I will." Lin Nanjiang nodded and promised, then decisively took advantage of his wife's unguarded moment and successfully pushed her down.

Feelings and such will come if you think about it for a while.

Today is indeed a busy night.

Liu Suqin was caught off guard and thrown down. She sank into the soft bed and was kissed until she was dizzy. It took her a long time to remember to inform him that she had been made a permanent employee this month, so the family photo should also be put on the agenda this month.

Lin Nanjiang was in the sprint stage at the time, and absentmindedly replied that he would follow his wife's arrangements.

When Liu Suqin got up the next day, rubbing her waist, she decisively set the time for next Monday.

According to her observation, Monday is the quietest day. Not only is there less than half the number of people walking outside their studio, but there are also basically no weddings that require them to work.

Liu Suqin set the time on this day, and as expected, nothing went wrong and the family portrait was taken smoothly. While waiting for the finished product, Liu Suqin continued her busy life.

This busy schedule lasted for another two months. The personal photo in the bedroom had been replaced by a group photo of the family of three. Even the walls of their living room, as well as Qian Juxiang and Aunt Zhang's respective rooms, were decorated with cute photos of Xiao Fangfang.

It's just not as exaggerated as the group photo in the master bedroom. The largest photo frames in other places are only the size of A4 paper, and the smallest are about the size of elementary school students' homework books. Hanging them in the living room is not as abrupt as Liu Suqin imagined. On the contrary, it is a very good decoration. At least every guest who comes to visit will stop in front of the photo frame to admire it for a long time.

Amin, Ahui and the others also suggested that Liu Suqin take Fangfang to take a group photo every year. When Fangfang grows into a beautiful girl, the photo frames recording her growth can form a photo wall. What a great gift!

Liu Suqin said she would consider it.

Liu Suqin was so busy making money and enjoying life that she almost forgot about time. It wasn't until Qian Juxiang came over to ask how her father and younger brother should get to Shenzhen since it was almost time for them to leave that she asked blankly, "Didn't the high school entrance exam just end the day before yesterday? Even if we don't have to wait for the results to be announced, shouldn't younger brother get his diploma before coming here?"

"Aren't your eldest and second brothers at home? Just ask them to go get their diplomas. It's not a big deal. It's more important to get your dad and the others to work as soon as possible."

Liu Suqin asked uncertainly, "Is this okay?"

Qian Juxiang swore confidently, "Other people also asked their families to collect their diplomas on their behalf, so your brother will have no problem doing that too."

Liu Suqin thought about it carefully and realized that the situation was indeed very relaxed at the moment. Not only could she collect the graduation certificate on her brother's behalf, but if she hadn't insisted, her brother wouldn't even have to stay in school until the high school entrance exam. As long as he paid the tuition, he could simply skip classes in the last semester and still get the certificate.

In that case, let's have her father and younger brother come over earlier. Liu Suqin said carefully, "Nanjiang and I are both busy at work, so it's not easy to take time off to pick them up. We haven't heard from any fellow villagers who are going back recently, and we don't have anyone to help take them there. How about having them take a long-distance bus to the county? They can take a regular bus from their hometown to our county. There are long-distance buses to Shenzhen directly from the bus station, so there's no need to change stations or transfer. Nanjiang knows a few long-distance drivers. If we greet them in advance, the drivers can take care of them on the way. We can then go to the place where they get off and wait in advance. It shouldn't be a problem."

She thought that this way they wouldn't have to go through as many procedures as the train, which would be more user-friendly for the father and son who were traveling far away for the first time, although the long-distance bus ticket was several times more expensive than the train and the journey was longer.

But these are minor issues compared to safety and convenience.
