Qiao Qiqi opened her eyes to find a handsome man lying in bed.
Why not indulge? she thought as she seduced him, only to discover the next day that she transmigrated into a 1970s novel.
...
Su Shangjin found it difficult to refuse.
"Just tell me what it is, and I'll definitely help if I can."
Qiao Qiqi smiled and put the fish into the kitchen before coming out and saying, "It's like this, as you know, Qin Huai and I got our marriage certificate. I went to town these past few days to buy some wedding things, but there are a few things I want that they don't have in town. They said I have to go to the county, so I wanted you to give me a letter of introduction. I'm planning to go to the county next Saturday."
Although Su Shangjin felt that the wedding didn't need to be held in the county, he also knew that Qiao Qiqi had been spoiled by the Qiao family.
Thinking that the girl would definitely want to go out and buy something nice, he nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll go to the brigade this afternoon to get you a letter of introduction."
"Thank you very much. I won't bother you any longer and will head back now."
Qiao Qiqi turned to leave, but Su Shangjin suddenly took out six eggs and stuffed them into her hands, saying, "Take these back and eat with Qin Huai. I don't have anything good here, just eggs. Don't mind them."
Qiao Qiqi declined, but Su Shangjin insisted.
She knew that Su Shangjin was known for his fairness in the village, and he must have been worried that if someone saw her giving him fish, it would have a bad impact, so he gave her six eggs in return.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qiqi didn't want to cause trouble for Su Shangjin, so she accepted the six eggs.
Anyway, she's already achieved her goal of coming here...
Looking at the figure inside the window, Qiao Qiqi slowly curled her lips and deliberately said, "Qin Huai dotes on me. A few days ago, he went to town and bought thirty or forty eggs. My mother-in-law even gave me 20 more. We have more eggs at home than we can eat."
Su Shangjin, unaware of the reason, simply said truthfully, "Qin Huai is a good boy. You two should live a good life together."
"Yes, I will definitely live a good life with Qin Huai."
Seeing the figure at the window leave, Qiao Qiqi's smile deepened, and she immediately took the eggs and left.
To her surprise, after Su Shangjin obtained the letter of introduction from the commune brigade in the afternoon, he actually delivered it to her home in person.
Qiao Qiqi immediately grabbed a handful of candy for him. "Uncle Su, this is my and Qin Huai's wedding candy. You can't refuse it."
Upon hearing that it was wedding candy, Su Shangjin couldn't refuse. "Alright, alright, I'll share in the joy too."
After seeing Su Shangjin off, Qiao Qiqi immediately went back to her room to sleep.
I only slept for two hours before being woken up by noises from the yard.
After I got up, I realized it was carpenter Wang who had come to deliver the cabinet.
There wasn't much carpentry work in the village, and with Qin Huai's help, all three cabinets were finished so quickly.
After the cabinet was carried into the room, Qiao Qiqi reached out and touched it.
The cabinet is polished exceptionally smooth, and any knots are placed at the back and bottom, showing that it was made with great care.
Qiao Qiqi was increasingly satisfied with the product, and when she paid the final payment, she gave Wang the carpenter an extra 50 cents.
"Oh, that's too kind of you." Carpenter Wang was a little flattered.
"You deserve this. Your craftsmanship is superb. I'll definitely come back to you when I need cabinets made in the future."
“No problem, if you need anything, just come to me. The price will definitely be the best, and you can rest assured about the quality.” Carpenter Wang was confident in his skills, but he also came for another reason: to ask Qiao Qiqi how to draw 3D graphics.
He studied Qiao Qiqi's drawings for the past few days and actually learned how to draw them, but he could only draw the right-angle cabinet. He couldn't draw the kind that stands in the corner with a bend.
“This requires finding the right angle from the front, every side…” Qiao Qiqi took out some paper from the house and started teaching Wang the carpenter to draw in the yard.
Qin Huai's eyes flickered when he saw this.
Wang the carpenter was quite skillful; he learned it in less than 10 minutes.
"You're amazing, girl. I've only ever seen two people in my life who can draw this. One is an old carpenter from the city, and the other is you. It's a pity you're a girl and don't want to learn carpentry, otherwise I would definitely pass on my skills to you."
Qiao Qiqi smiled and said, "Then I'll definitely come to you when I have this idea in the future."
"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer, I'll head back now." Having learned the new skill, Wang the carpenter was eager to go back and practice, so he didn't linger any longer and hurried back.
Qiao Qiqi also turned around and went back into the house. She originally wanted to tidy up her things, but she found that Qin Huai had already tidied up everything in the kang cabinet and the floor cabinet.
With the cabinet in hand, all the things that had been scattered on the floor were finally put away, and the whole house instantly became tidy.
By selling goods on the black market and hunting in the mountains at night with Qin Huai, she now has 300 yuan in savings. Although this is a lot in the countryside, Qiao Qiqi still feels it is not enough.
Especially considering that she has to go to the county in a week, this trip absolutely cannot be in vain. It would be best to get the watch and the bicycle together.
These two things together will cost at least 300 yuan in tickets and money.
With this in mind, Qiao Qiqi decided that she would go to the black market every day for the next week to sell goods, make more money, and preferably exchange more tickets to prepare for going to the county in a week.
After making up her mind, Qiao Qiqi immediately went to the kitchen and took a look at the dough she had prepared at noon.
After everything was ready, she washed her hands and started kneading the dough.
Since she had nothing to do, Qiao Qiqi decided to fry a batch of fried dough twists. These were a good thing, and she wanted to fry a lot to send to both sets of parents, so they wouldn't be reluctant to eat them.
When Qin Huai learned that she wanted to fry dough twists, he started heating the pot without saying a word.
As the two were busy, a noise suddenly came from the courtyard gate, "Qiqi, Qin Huai, are you home?"
Upon recognizing Lin Chunying's voice, Qiao Qiqi immediately ran out of the kitchen, "Mother, you're here."
Seeing Qiao Tianyou slowly following behind, Qiao Qiqi glanced at him and said with a smile to the two of them, "I'm frying twisted dough sticks. You two come in and sit down first. I'll come in when I'm done frying them."
Upon hearing about the twisted dough sticks, Lin Chunying immediately followed him into the kitchen.
When I saw that the pot was half full of oil, my heart ached with heartache.
But because Qin Huai was there, she didn't say anything to Qiao Qiqi, but simply rolled up her sleeves and came over to help.
But Qiao Qiqi stopped her, "It's very hot in the kitchen, you can just wait inside, I'll be done in a minute."
"It's okay, we're just sitting here anyway. I'll help you, and it'll be faster."
Lin Chunying insisted, and Qiao Qiqi couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to go along with her.
Soon, a large bowl of fried dough twists was ready.
The three of them walked out of the kitchen, all covered in sweat.
Qiao Qiqi pulled Lin Chunying inside to dry off, while Qin Huai took a shower in the courtyard.
After the three of them finished cleaning up, Qiao Tianyou had finished eating both twisted dough sticks.
“You child…” Lin Chunying frowned.
Before he could say anything, Qiao Qiqi said, "Let him eat what he likes. He's a big boy who's growing, so it's normal for him to have a big appetite."
As she spoke, Qiao Qiqi looked at Qiao Tianyou and said, "Eat more if you like it. Send some to the Qin family later, and then you and your mother can take some with you."
