Chapter 89

After Nie Xiangbei and Liu Juan’s wedding, it rained heavily for two or three days, washing away the heat of those days.

In the morning, Bi Chunliu got up and went to the bathroom, where he met Liu Juan, who had also just gotten up and was still drowsy.

Liu Juan yawned, "Good morning, Sister Chunliu." The bad thing about living in a slum is that you have to go outside to go to the toilet.

Bi Chunliu, who was squatting in the toilet, said: "...Good morning." She was still not used to greeting like this in the toilet.

The two of them came out of the bathroom one after the other. Bi Chunliu was thinking about what to eat in the morning when he heard Liu Juan say "Huh?" in confusion.

Bi Chunliu looked forward. Oh, isn't this the green-hat brother? No, isn't this Xie Liang? He looks a little fatter. He's been living a very comfortable life recently.

"Sister Chunliu, who is that person?" Liu Juan asked in a low voice.

Bi Chunliu: "This is Xie Liang. He's a sports car driver, so you don't see him very often."

"Oh, is he married?"

Bi Chunliu glanced at Liu Juan and said, "He got divorced not long ago."

Liu Juan quickly defended herself, "I'm not attracted to him. I just didn't expect there were such similar people in the world. He looks so much like my colleague's girlfriend! I almost thought he was the one, but my colleague is very proud and wouldn't date a divorced man."

"Really? How similar can they be?" Bi Chunliu didn't care whether Liu Juan liked Xie Liang or not. It was not her concern.

Liu Juan: "They're like twins. My colleague's boyfriend used to be a soldier. He has this long scar on his arm. They say it's from the war, a medal of bravery." Liu Juan gestured on her arm. Although she couldn't stand her colleague and thought she had problems all over her body, she had to say that the boyfriend she found was okay.

Bi Chunliu thought carefully about what she had heard Aunt Liu and the others say before, "That should be the case. It seems that Xie Liang started driving a sports car after graduation and never served in the army."

"I think so too. He is from Beijing."

Bi Chunliu: "..." You are still proud.

When he got home, Bi Weiguo had already gotten up and cooked. Seeing his elder sister coming back, he asked, "Sister, I made egg pancakes."

"Okay, we don't know how long those eggs have been there. Beat each one separately so that one won't spoil the whole pot," she instructed.

Last weekend, she went to the mountains and found two nests of pheasant eggs. Since it's hot, she couldn't be sure if the eggs were rotten, so she brought them all back. Yesterday, she took four eggs and cracked them into a bowl. The first three were fine, but the last one was rotten! That bowl of eggs is unusable! She's so pissed!

Bi Weiguo nodded and said, "I know, I fought separately."

At the dinner table, Bi Qiuguo ate some cold dishes and praised, "Second brother, your cooking skills are getting better and better!"

"It's mainly because of the sesame sauce. This is made by my master himself. I learned how to make cold noodles from him. I'll make it for you when I'm off duty. The food made with this sesame sauce is especially fragrant!" Bi Weiguo feels more and more that being a chef is a good idea. Although it's tiring and his hands are shaking from cutting vegetables, it's worth it to be able to eat delicious food!

Speaking of sesame sauce, Bi Chunliu thought of sesame paste, and suddenly had an idea: "When the weather gets cold, we will eat hot pot. If we can't buy beef or mutton, we will eat pork. Then I will show you my cooking skills." She had learned a method of making a dipping sauce from someone before, and it was very delicious.

"Okay!" Bi Qiuguo was the first to respond.

After dinner, the four people split up into three groups, some went to work, and some went to school.

On the way, Bi Chunliu thought that she had to check again the things she was going to prepare for the wedding.

Xing Fei said that Uncle Han had already arranged for the cooks. He said that five tables were prepared and it would be a small feast. This made Bi Chunliu a little surprised. It was not later now, and five tables were already considered medium-sized. Moreover, neither of their families had any relatives, and these five tables were for friends and colleagues.

As for her dowry, it currently consists of bedding, pillows, a thermos, a red washbasin, and so on. The chest of drawers has already been moved in. She had the bedding made by someone. Wang Xiaoman's good friend Fang Yuanyuan got married last month, and Bi Chunliu contacted the company that made her bedding. She'll just pick it up in a couple of days. She also bought fabric, but since she doesn't know how to make clothes, she bought new clothes for her younger siblings, Uncle Han, and Xiaomei.

"Ouch!" Bi Chunliu bumped into someone.

"I'm so sorry, comrade. I wasn't looking where I was going." Bi Chunliu apologized first. As expected, one must walk carefully and not be distracted. She decided to go back to the office and think about this.

Bi Chunliu then realized that the person he bumped into was Xie Liang. Xie Liang covered his waist and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I didn't notice it. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Bi Chunliu glanced down at Xie Liang's waist casually, huh? ! !

Xie Liang: "I'm glad you're alright, comrade. I'll be leaving now."

Bi Chunliu nodded quickly, "Yeah, okay."

Xie Liang left in a hurry. Bi Chunliu restrained herself from looking at him and continued walking towards the factory without any hesitation, even though she was feeling very nervous.

Only after entering the factory did Bi Chunliu finally breathe a sigh of relief. She wanted to call Xing Fei immediately. During the collision, she seemed to have seen the wooden sash on Xie Liang's waist. It was really unusual for a sports car driver to have that thing, right?! She also saw the heroic scar on her former colleague's boyfriend that Liu Juan had pointed out to her that morning!

Liu Juan already thought Xie Liang and her colleague's partner looked exactly like each other. Furthermore, they both had the same scar, and this probability shouldn't be a common occurrence. So, Xie Liang must be Liu Juan's colleague's partner?!

"Hello? Hello, I'm looking for Xing Fei." Bi Chunliu didn't dare to delay, put down his bag and went to the factory office.

"Is this your sister-in-law? Xing Fei hasn't come yet. Do you have something urgent to discuss with him?" It was Hao Ren on the phone.

Bi Chunliu tried to steady his voice, "Brother Hao, I have something urgent to do. If Xing Fei isn't here, could you come to our textile factory? And don't wear your work clothes."

"Okay, I'll go there now!" Hao Ren became serious. It happened that he hadn't changed into his police uniform yet, so he could go directly.

After leaving the house, Hao Ren happened to see Xing Fei parking his bicycle and quickly called him, "Xing Fei, you're just in time. Your wife called and said there's something urgent. You should go quickly."

"Okay!" Xing Fei pushed the bicycle out, kicked with his long legs, and soon disappeared.

Hao Ren turned around and went into the building, muttering: When he talked about meeting his wife, he pedaled his bicycle like smoke.

"Lao Hao? Lao Hao! Your wife is about to give birth. Your mother-in-law called and asked you to go to the hospital quickly!"

Hao Ren: !!

"knew!!"

Another figure flashed by, and the gatekeeper leaned forward anxiously. "Such an urgent case happened so early in the morning? And they were both riding so fast!"

After Bi Chunliu finished the call, she waited for the guard to call her.

"Spring Willow? Spring Willow?"

Bi Chunliu looked up and asked, "Sister Mei, what's wrong?"

Zhao Mei gave her a piece of candy. "What's wrong with you? You're so distracted. Eat a piece of candy quickly. Are you having low blood sugar?"

"Probably not. Thanks for the candy, Sister Mei!"

"Bi Chunliu, someone's looking for you outside!"

Bi Chunliu stuffed the candy into her mouth, jumped up and said, "I'm coming! Sister Mei, I'm going out for a while."

"Okay, go quickly." Zhao Mei watched Bi Chunliu leave, muttering to herself, "Could something have happened to her uncle again? This silly girl."

After leaving the factory, Bi Chunliu saw that it was Xing Fei and said in surprise, "You're here? When I called just now, Brother Hao said you hadn't left yet."

Xing Fei tugged at his clothes. He was very hot from riding so hard all the way. "Old Hao said you had something urgent to do. What's the matter?"

Bi Chunliu carefully glanced around. "I noticed something unusual..." She had just wondered if Xie Liang had taken a toy model. Would that be a false alarm? But then she realized that there didn't seem to be any toys like that around. It would be too realistic!

Xing Fei frowned after hearing this. "Okay, I understand. You must be careful. Go home with others these two days and don't go out alone."

"Okay! Go quickly, and be sure to be careful!" Bi Chunliu started to worry again after she said that. No wonder it is not easy to be a police officer's wife. She started to worry before she even got the job.

Xing Fei smiled. "Don't worry, we still have to get our marriage certificate in a couple of days. I'm sure it will be fine! There won't be any delay."

Bi Chunliu quickly covered his mouth and told him not to make random statements at a time like this!

"I'm done, go ahead and protect yourself!"

"good."

After the two separated, Bi Chunliu felt that the matter was over.

"Really?"

"What's true?" Bi Chunliu asked. Before she entered the house, she heard Wang Xiaojun's exclamation.

Director Lin from the factory office was in their office. Zhao Mei said, "Chunliu, come here quickly."

After listening for a while, Bi Chunliu realized that they were talking about a profiteer in Heilongjiang Province. It was said that the police had found several boxes of things in his home, including a box of Datongjie, which contained a total of 4,000 yuan!

"That's four thousand yuan! If it were me, I don't know how to spend it!" Secretary Lin sighed. Although the two brothers of the Zhu family embezzled more money last time, because the money was too much, it didn't feel real.

Bi Chunliu was tempted. With four thousand yuan, she could buy two yards in the future!

Wang Hongxia: "You only care about the money. Haven't you heard that the man had to go to labor camp for ten years? When he gets out, he'll be over 40, and his wife and children may be married to someone else."

The thoughts in her mind disappeared instantly. She decided to just stay calm for now and let go of everything first! They say the 1980s were a hot era, so she might as well give it a try! But as the old saying goes, if you don't have the skills, don't take on the job. If she doesn't have the talent to be a heroine, she'd better not do that big of a thing!

If you don't do big things, it might be okay to do small things. Otherwise, when the opportunity comes, you won't even have the start-up capital!

Should I start small and sell a few things before expanding? What should I sell?

For this problem, Bi Chunliu listed several options and kept thinking about it until he got off work, but still did not make a final decision.

Wang Xiaojun took her arm and whispered, "Chunliu, can you accompany me to the black market?"

Bi Chunliu: "What do you want to buy?"

Wang Xiaojun chuckled, "I heard someone is selling some kind of egg cake on the black market. It seems really delicious. I want to try it!"

Bi Chunliu: "..." She should have thought of it earlier, Xiaojun is a little foodie! "Then let's go!" She could also go to the black market to find inspiration, to see what is both easy to sell and what she can make!
