"Jiaxin, my husband brought me some mung bean soup, would you like some?"
Mo Jiaxin, upon hearing there was mung bean soup, eagerly grabbed her enamel mug and came over. Then it suddenly dawned on her—who had just said Huang Qinqin had brought her mung bean soup?
"Qinqin, you're married?!"
If Mo Jiaxin remembers correctly, Huang Qinqin is only eighteen years old. How come she got married so early?
Moreover, Huang Qinqin looks so young, like she's only fifteen or sixteen years old. Mo Jiaxin was shocked to suddenly learn that she was already married.
"Yes, we got married this year. The legal age is eighteen, so we were just old enough to get our marriage certificate."
After Huang Qinqin poured her some mung bean soup, she went back to find Xu Junhui.
Xu Junhui was somewhat puzzled when he saw Mo Jiaxin looking at him with a shocked expression.
Puzzled, she asked, "Qinqin, is something wrong with me? Why is your colleague giving me such a strange look?"
Um?
Upon hearing this, Huang Qinqin turned her head to look, and Mo Jiaxin, seeing Huang Qinqin turn around, immediately looked away and lowered her head to drink her mung bean soup.
Huang Qinqin found it somewhat amusing: "She was just a little surprised that I got married at such a young age."
Xu Junhui thought to himself: She wasn't just a little surprised; the way she looked at him was like she was looking at a pervert!
Mo Jiaxin didn't think Xu Junhui was a pervert, it's just that...
Huang Qinqin looks younger than her actual age, while Xu Junhui is actually four years older than her.
The two of them standing together, though they are a handsome couple, clearly have an age gap.
Mo Jiaxin felt that Xu Junhui was an old cow eating young grass, so she looked at him with a slightly strange gaze.
After drinking the mung bean soup, Huang Qinqin handed the kettle to Xu Junhui and asked, "Have Mom and Dad gone home yet?"
"No, I saw them on the first floor when I came up. I guess they'll be up in a bit."
Speak of the devil, and he appears; before the words were even finished, both families had already arrived.
Huang Eryuan and Xu Weiguo were both carrying large bags and small packages, clearly having bought quite a lot. Even Huang Jianguo and Huang Jianjun were carrying a considerable amount of things.
"Honey, are you done here? I just saw a lot of people carrying clothes out. You must be exhausted!"
Huang Eryuan looked at Huang Qinqin with heartache, feeling that she must have suffered a lot.
Huang Qinqin smiled and shook her head: "It's alright, it's just about taking orders and collecting money, it's not particularly tiring."
My throat just hurts a little. But I don't need to tell the elders, so they won't worry.
"Mom, what did you all buy? So much!"
"They're all food and household items. Qinqin, I've discovered that the department store has so many things that we've never seen before."
"Yes, there are many snacks and candies that the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't sell."
Huang Qinqin heard Manager Gao mention during a meeting: "Our department store seems to have partnerships with several cities, so we have many local specialties from other places."
"That's good, but it seems like we don't see any of the dried goods, vegetables, or fruits that we usually eat."
Huang Qinqin remembers there was a fruit section, right?
"There seems to be a fruit counter on the first floor. Didn't you see it, Mom and Dad?"
Chen Zhaodi saw it: "I saw it, but those fruits were quite expensive, and they were all relatively rare, so we just bought some apples."
That probably means they're only selling fruits from other places; the local common fruits are all gone.
Huang Qinqin glanced at her watch; it was almost 11 o'clock. She said to Chen Zhaodi and Zhang Yumei, "Mom, since it's still early, why don't you come over and pick out some clothes and see if there's anything you like?"
Huang Qinqin glanced around and added softly, "Our employees get an internal discount~"
......
There are basically no customers left in the ready-to-wear section now. After Huang Qinqin returned, she told Mo Jiaxin to sit down and rest for a while.
Then I started helping the two mothers pick out clothes.
“My dear in-law, you should look good in this.”
Zhang Yumei pointed to a set of clothes printed with big red flowers and said.
Huang Qinqin took a look and really wanted to ask Zhang Yumei if she was serious.
Looking around, Huang Qinqin felt she couldn't see anything except for those big red flowers. She thought to herself that Chen Zhaodi definitely wouldn't like it.
She knows her mother well; she usually wears clothes in plain colors like black, gray, and white, so she definitely wouldn't like such brightly colored clothes.
Just as he was thinking that Chen Zhaodi wouldn't like it, he immediately heard Chen Zhaodi's voice of agreement: "This dress is so beautiful! In-laws, why don't we each buy one?"
Huang Qinqin: ∑(O_O；)
Seriously?! Is it genuine liking?!
Chen Zhaodi exclaimed, "This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful pattern. The most beautiful one I've ever seen before is bright red, but wearing bright red feels strange."
"That's right, but those colors are definitely dirt-resistant, so let's take this set."
"Mmm, this is so beautiful! When I wear it out, I guarantee everyone in the residential compound will be envious of me!"
Zhang Yumei and Chen Zhaodi then asked Huang Qinqin, "Qinqin, what do you think of this outfit? Isn't it beautiful?"
Huang Qinqin said stiffly, "Um...it looks good, the color is particularly eye-catching, hehe..."
"Right? I think so too, then let's go with this one!"
Seeing that they genuinely liked it, Huang Qinqin didn't say anything. After all, these were clothes they wanted to wear, and their preference was the most important thing.
After paying and packing the clothes, Huang Qinqin handed them to them. Suddenly, she felt a mournful gaze fall upon her.
Following the line of sight, I realized it was Huang Eryuan.
Huang Eryuan felt very wronged. His daughter bought clothes for her mother, but didn't even ask him if he wanted them.
Huang Qinqin didn't want to not buy it for him, but it seemed wrong to buy it for Huang Eryuan and not for Xu Weiguo. If she bought both, her royalties from last month wouldn't be enough.
Of course, if it's from savings, then there's definitely some, but generally speaking, Huang Qinqin doesn't really want to touch the money she's already planned to save unless there are special circumstances.
Now he could only feign innocence and say, "Dad, it's just that I don't have enough money. I just wanted to use the money I earned to buy it for you."
"I used up all my earnings from last month's writing to buy these two outfits, and that's it. In a couple of months, when I get my salary and have saved enough money, I'll definitely buy you one too!"
"You're my most beloved dad, I'll never forget you, no matter who else I forget~"
Huang Eryuan was pleased by her words, looked at Chen Zhaodi with a haughty air, and then asked, "Really? Am I really your favorite dad?"
