Chapter 125 Eating Together

The two of them changed their clothes without Yue Ning's knowledge. Sister Ge wore a white T-shirt with a long skirt with big flowers, which she showed to Yue Ning openly.

Xiuxiu couldn't handle it. She couldn't even bend over when she put on the suspenders. She said, "It's so embarrassing!"

Yue Ning handed her a long-sleeved shirt. Xiuxiu took it and put it on, and immediately started to button it up.

"Don't button it."

Xiuxiu looked down at her chest and stamped her feet: "If you don't button it, it's the same as not wearing it at all."

"Dress as you like."

I got used to waiting for her to come after a while.

The two of them tried on a few other clothes. Yue Ning asked from the side: "Xiu Xiu, his family won't let him come?"

"Don't mention it. Fortunately, you insisted that I come to Pengcheng. Only then did I see what this family was thinking. I met him twice before. Didn't our family receive your letter? My parents thought it was a big deal, and my brother and I came together, so my parents went to their house together. They said they would think about it. Then he asked me to go out to see a movie, so I went. After the movie, he asked me to go to his house and sit down. I didn't think much about it, so I just sat down. He acted like a hooligan to me..." Xiuxiu was still shaking with anger when she thought about it, "I slapped him, kicked him, and ran back home!"

"They want to make it a done deal and keep you, right?" Yue Ning asked.

"Yes! I went home and told my parents, and they immediately called the matchmaker."

Yue Ning pinched Xiuxiu's face and said, "Fortunately, you are smart and brave."

After they tried on the clothes, Sister Ge took a basin of water and a dry towel and said, "Ningning, wash your face. Dahei licked your face just now."

A veterinarian is also a doctor. Sister Ge is still very particular. Yue Ning washed her face.

"Ningning, I came out and realized that there is water outside. All you have to do is turn on the faucet." Xiuxiu said in surprise.

Yue Ning smiled: "It's tap water."

"I know. Those comrades taught me how to use it." Xiuxiu talked about the new and interesting things she encountered along the way.

"It's definitely different outside than at home, and you'll feel it even more differently once you arrive in Gangcheng." Yue Ning said to Xiuxiu.

“What is Hong Kong like?”

Yue Ning smiled and said to her: "You stay here for a while. I will help you with the formalities later and take you to visit the port city."

Ge Yueqin washed the towel and came back with a washbasin. Yue Ning asked her, "Sister Ge, how did my uncle get you?"

Ge Yueqin didn't give Yue Ning a good look: "Didn't you teach him?"

"Do I?" Yue Ning smiled.

"He got a bicycle and came to my place every day. He said that you asked him to take care of me. You know, in a place like ours, the news would reach that old woman's ears in two days." Ge Yueqin said.

Yue Ning didn't understand: "Which old woman?"

"My ex-mother-in-law."

Yue Ning was even more confused: "You've divorced his son, what does it have to do with her?"

"I divorced my ex-husband, and within two months, he married a nurse from the health center. People outside said that my ex-husband had affairs with other women. She thought I was the one who said that, and now that she heard about it, she had to scold me. She ran to the animal husbandry station and said that I had no man to marry me, and I actually fell in love with an old bachelor with six fingers. After she said that, I started arguing with her. Although your uncle Agen has six fingers and his family is poor, he is a kind person! He is a thousand times better than her son. It happened that your uncle Agen came, so I asked him if he would register with me?" Ge Yueqin smiled and took out a box of sorghum candy from her bag and gave it to Yue Ning. "Although I was angry, it was not a rash decision. But my family members all disliked Agen and scolded me for being with such an old bachelor. It just so happened that you wrote to let us come. I thought, I have no one to worry about there. Agen's parents are gone, and his brother and sister-in-law quarreled over our marriage."

Yue Ning opened the box, peeled a candy and put it in his mouth: "What's wrong with his brother and sister-in-law? Didn't they dislike Agen for being a bachelor before? They also said that they spent all their money to buy him a wife. Now that Uncle Agen is married, you two won't let them pay for the wedding, right?"

Ge Yueqin said: "Agen worked as a veterinarian and a butcher, didn't he save some money? He wasn't a bachelor, they thought all the money belonged to them. I married him, started a family, and had children in the future. We would definitely give our things to our children. Would there be any share for them?"

"What kind of people are they?" Yue Ning was indignant.

Ge Yueqin smiled and said, "So when you asked us to come out, we immediately decided that we had nothing to be reluctant about and would stay away from them."

Yue Ning nodded: "I am happiest when you two are together. You are a good person, and Uncle Agen is also a good person."

"Yes! A few days before we were released, a woman in Qianjiawan hanged herself. She had been bought for nine years and had given birth to five children. This time it was a daughter. Her second daughter was thrown away by the mother-in-law, and this daughter was thrown away by the mother-in-law again. She couldn't bear it and hanged herself."

Yue Ning sighed deeply: "This is not the first time."

"Agen sent that woman away. Secretary Fugen even held a special meeting to publicize in the brigade that women cannot be bought and sold. If there is such a thing in a family, Secretary Fugen and Director Qiaomei will go to the family to do ideological work. In the past few years, no family in Xiaoyanggou has bought a daughter-in-law." Ge Yueqin changed into her old clothes. "Agen sent that woman away and accumulated merits, because a few women were spared from suffering. This good deed must be attributed to him, and he will always be blessed in the future."

"Yes, there will definitely be good fortune in the future." Yue Ning said.

Ah Biao came over and asked, "Are you done? Mr. Qiao said he wants to go eat."

There was a knock on the door, and A Biao asked, "Are you guys done? Mr. Qiao said he was going to eat."

Yue Ning said: "Let's go and have dinner."

"Xiu Xiu, hold the chili powder. The dish yesterday had no taste at all." A Biao reminded Xiu Xiu.

Yue Ning took out a bottle of chili oil from her bag: "I'll get it for you."

"Ningning's cooking is delicious." said A Biao.

"Ningning, take your luggage, we're going to the county guesthouse, you just go get a room."

Yue Ning took the travel bag and went out holding Xiuxiu's hand.

Seeing them leaving, Dahei chased after them. Yue Ning went over and tied Dahei to the window frame, patted his head and said, "I'll bring you a chicken later."

Qiao Junxian called Li Guoqiang and two other employees here and went to the county guesthouse together.

At this time, the county guesthouse is considered the place with the best accommodation conditions here. Qiao Junxian stayed here when he came to Pengcheng. The restaurant in the guesthouse is also the most high-end restaurant in the area.

Ge Yueqin came over and asked Yue Ning: "It costs a lot to eat here, right?"

Li Guoqiang heard this and said, "Big sister, do you know how wealthy Miss Yue's boyfriend is in Hong Kong?"

Qiao Junxian smiled and said, "My wealth is not as high as Ningning's. I just started my own business, but Ningning owns two restaurants in Hong Kong City."

Qiao Junxian's supervisor said: "Ms. Yue's Ningyan is now the most luxurious restaurant in Hong Kong. A table of food costs thousands of Hong Kong dollars!"

"How much?" Agen thought he had heard wrongly.

"Five or six thousand for a table of food, if converted into RMB, it would be around a thousand, right?" said the supervisor.

This frightened Agen so much that his mouth opened wide enough to fit a goose egg. He said, "Oh my God! You ate up more than ten years of my dividends in just one meal?"

Li Guoqiang made 40,000 yuan in a few months by selling fans and TVs from Qiao Junxian's inventory. He is now a wealthy man. He said, "Of course, the rich people in Hong Kong are worth hundreds of millions. What's the big deal about spending so little on a meal?"

"I dare not think about it." Agen shook his head, "Could it be that this dish is made of gold?"

"Brother Agen, you will gradually understand the colorful world outside. Money! People who know how to make money are like water pouring in." Li Guoqiang said to Agen.

Yue Ning said seriously: "It's very chaotic outside now, you guys can work in Junxian's factory first. When you are familiar with this place, we can talk about it if there is a chance. We are from the mountains, and we don't understand many things."

"We know." Agen looked at Abia, "Your parents also asked us to look after you and your sister."

"My parents said, just listen to Ningning and do whatever Ningning asks you to do," said A Biao.

Several people sat at a table. Yue Ning took the menu, which was a little sticky in his hands, but he didn't care. Let's order!

She ordered a quarter of a roast goose, a portion of roast pork, a plate of marinated platter, a portion of Hakka salt-baked chicken, a portion of fried duck, taro crab, and fried mackerel...

After ordering the dishes, she asked the waiter for a small bowl, scooped out a large spoonful of red chili oil with a spoon and put it into the small bowl.

Yue Ning was talking to Xiuxiu and the others about what happened in Xiaoyanggou after she left. It was nothing more than gossip about other people. She felt as if she was back in Xiaoyanggou. She picked up some roast goose for Xiuxiu and Sister Ge.

The roast goose was not very good, and the seasoning was not salty or fresh enough, but fortunately they dipped it in oil and chili to make up for it.

The waiter came over to see them dipping the meat in chili sauce, and as if he saw something strange, he put down the barbecued meat and left.

Yue Ning picked up a piece of roast pork, but the quality was certainly not as good as that of Baohualou's, with crispy skin and fat that melted in the mouth. Some parts of their skin were not even blistered and it was a bit stiff, and the seasoning was also a bit poor.

Qiao Junxian tilted his head and said to her, "This is how it is here. There's nothing good to eat here for now."

"Mr. Qiao, let me tell you, the northern market will be handed over to me from now on. I will definitely give it to you..."

Li Guoqiang took a few sips of wine and started bragging again. The first time he met him, he felt that he was very smart. Later, after listening to Qiao Junxian's words, Yue Ning felt that he was indeed a capable man.

She reminded again: "Comrade Li! If you hire more than eight people, you are no longer a small business owner, but a capitalist. Even if the Qiao family's funds enter the mainland, there are restrictions in the country. You'd better go slower and more steadily."

"Ms. Yue, you are a girl, you don't understand these business tricks..."

Qiao Junxian frowned slightly, and Yue Ning shook her head slightly at him. Li Guoqiang had just helped her get Uncle Agen and the others here, and also brought Dahei along. The friendship was still there, but since he was so stubborn, they had to be careful.
