Not only did Qiao Qingqing not lack anything, she could even use eggs as favors.
Just to avoid arousing suspicion, Qiao Qingqing only gave ten.
But even if there were only ten, Huang Wenxiu's eyes lit up, her heart was filled with joy, and she was extremely enthusiastic towards Qiao Qingqing.
Qiao Qingqing had no choice but to decline: "Since big brother is not here, I will come back at noon. I have something else to do. Sister-in-law, please tell big brother that I am here to buy my own ticket."
"Is that so... Well, you go ahead and do your work first. Remember to come back around noon!"
Huang Wenxiu reluctantly saw her to the door.
Qiao Qingqing touched the child in her arms again and said goodbye with a smile: "Auntie is leaving first, little golden egg, bye!"
Yes, Sun Zhong gave his son a nickname: Little Golden Egg.
It sounds rich and cute.
"Little Golden Egg, say bye to your aunt." Huang Wenxiu also grabbed her son's hand and waved to Qiao Qingqing.
After going downstairs, Qiao Qingqing found her man in a corner.
"The other party is not here today, let's go to the black market in the east of the city first and come back at noon."
Qiao Qingqing said in a low voice.
She had never told Lu Heng about the transactions she had made with Sun Zhong. She only said that she was buying pork from Sun Zhong and doing some other small things occasionally.
Qiao Qingqing didn't even mention who the other party in the transaction was.
Lu Heng could see that she was on guard against him, and although he felt a little jealous, he didn't feel so jealous anymore when he thought about how he had also hidden a lot of things from his wife when he was doing missions.
After all, if he could hide it from his wife, why couldn't his wife hide it from him?
Anyway, as long as it's not harmful to each other, just keep it secret. Everyone has a secret.
Lu Heng judges others by himself and is quite open-minded in this regard. He is not unhappy because his wife has a secret, but he thinks it is natural for him to have a secret.
"What do you want to buy today?"
On the way to the black market in the east of the city, Lu Heng asked his wife.
Qiao Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy some cloth coupons - if there are any."
She also wants to prepare gifts for her little baby.
There weren't many cloth coupons on hand, but Qiao Qingqing wanted to buy ready-made clothes for her two children, so she had to get more.
After a round of shopping in the black market in the east of the city and then in the black market in the north of the city, Qiao Qingqing finally got fifteen pieces of cloth coupons.
Qiao Qingqing still felt it was not enough, but she bought up all the black market cloth coupons.
It was already past eleven forty, so it was time to look for Sun Zhong.
Lu Heng said, "Eat first, then go."
It's already noon, how can I let my wife go hungry?
Qiao Qingqing thought so too. If it was past this time, Sun Zhong and his wife would definitely want to eat, and they would force her to stay for dinner. She couldn't refuse so she ate. She couldn't let Lu Heng wait downstairs with an empty stomach.
So the two of them went to a state-owned restaurant.
After finally finding an empty seat, Lu Heng asked Qiao Qingqing to sit and wait while he queued up to buy food.
There are still many people in the state-owned restaurants at noon, which shows that the life of city dwellers is better than that of country dwellers, and there are many people who have money and tickets and are willing to go to restaurants.
Qiao Qingqing waited for half an hour before Lu Heng came over with a few buns.
"I forgot to bring my lunch box." Lu Heng looked a little annoyed.
At this time, the restaurant will not provide tableware, everyone has to bring their own.
They didn't bring any tableware, so they could only eat food without tableware, so Lu Heng bought a few buns left over from the morning.
It's miserable, all the food is vegetarian, not even a bit of meat.
Lu Heng originally wanted to buy two more boiled eggs for his wife, but the boiled eggs were sold out in the morning.
This made Lu Heng feel full of guilt.
"My dear, you just eat now, and we will have a good meal tonight."
Qiao Qingqing found it funny, so she reached out to take the bun and started eating calmly.
"What's wrong with vegetarian buns? When I was in the Shi family, I couldn't even eat fine grains like noodles and rice. All the coarse grains in the Shi family went into my stomach, and they ate fine grains, not to mention vegetables. I was only worthy of vegetable juice, and I had no right to meat at all."
"Nowadays, at least we can have rice every day, and every day it's either eggs or meat, or seafood... We eat too much meat, and it's nice to eat something light occasionally."
Seeing her talking about the past with a smile on her face and no sadness in her eyes, Lu Heng should have been happy for her. At least this meant that she had let go of the unhappy past a long time ago and was indeed enjoying her present life.
But I just feel depressed, uncomfortable and suffocated.
Lu Heng is not good at expressing his emotions, especially in crowded places. He can only be open with his wife in private.
So Lu Heng stopped talking.
He ate the vegetarian buns in silence, thinking: The Shi family is finished, but the Qiao family is not...
The Lu family sends a lot of gifts to the Qiao family every year, and they also send money and tickets during the New Year and other festivals. These are all for his wife!
As a result, the Qiao family was blind and recognized the wrong child, and gave all these things to the Shi family's daughter. His wife did not enjoy any benefits from the Lu family at all!
No, this debt must be settled with the Qiao family.
It didn't take long to finish a few vegetarian buns.
After coming out of the restaurant, Qiao Qingqing poked Lu Heng's arm.
"What are you thinking about? You didn't say anything while eating just now."
Lu Heng frowned and said without thinking: "I want to know how to collect the debt owed to you by the Qiao family."
Qiao Qingqing was stunned, "What debt does the Qiao family owe me?"
Lu Heng then told the story of how the Lu family had sent things to the Qiao family over the years.
Qiao Qingqing smiled and said, "Just think of it as Grandpa repaying the Qiao family for saving my life. This is fine. We are completely clear with that family."
Lu Heng originally wanted to say that when Mr. Qiao was ill, his grandfather took him to Beijing for treatment, which allowed Mr. Qiao to live a few more years, and he also gave the Qiao family a considerable sum of money, which was already a way of repaying the favor.
But on second thought, perhaps the life-saving favor cannot be repaid so easily.
Then he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
However, the Lu family had their own plans.
All in all, Mr. Lu must have repaid the favor he owed to the Qiao family, including loving Qingqing on behalf of the Qiao family and making up for the love Qingqing lacked in the previous eighteen years.
Thinking of this, Lu Heng felt relieved. Instead of going to the Qiao family to collect the debt, it would be better to be more compassionate to his lover. Perhaps this is what Qingqing needs most.
Sun Zhong's home.
"Didn't you say that the eldest sister would come to our house for lunch at noon? It's almost one o'clock now, why hasn't she come yet?"
Sun Zhong looked at the wall clock, frowned and asked his wife.
Huang Wenxiu stood at the door and looked around. "Yes, I told her to come for dinner when I left. I don't know if this girl was embarrassed and deliberately avoided dinner time."
"Big sister, you're not such a hypocritical person. With our relationship, having a meal is nothing." Sun Zhong shook his head and didn't agree. "Maybe something delayed him. I'll wait a little longer. Ah Xiu, you need to feed the baby. Don't wait with me. Eat first."
"So what? The elder sister will think we asked her to eat the leftovers when she sees us. It's okay. I'm not very hungry either. Let's wait a little longer." Huang Wenxiu refused without thinking.
Finally, Qiao Qingqing's figure appeared at the other end of the corridor.
"Oh, sister, you're finally here!"
When Huang Wenxiu saw her, she hurried out to greet her happily.
Qiao Qingqing was surprised: "Sister-in-law, are you waiting for me?"
Huang Wenxiu took her hand and walked into the house. "Yes, it's already noon. Shouldn't we wait for you to come for lunch? What are you busy with that took you so long?"
When Qiao Qingqing entered the room and saw a table full of dishes with the bowls still on, obviously untouched, she was deeply moved.
"Sister-in-law, how can I feel embarrassed about this?" She was a little at a loss. She had deliberately avoided coming during meal times, but she didn't expect Huang Wenxiu to be so serious about it. She actually waited until the present moment.
Huang Wenxiu didn't care, "Big sister, you are being unfaithful, we are all family!"
䋤䋤 always brings a basket of things when she visits someone’s house. What’s wrong with her going hungry while waiting for others to eat?
Qiao Qingqing was too embarrassed to say that she had eaten...
When Sun Zhong asked her if she was delayed by something, she shamelessly admitted it.
I thought to myself: I wasted my time eating steamed buns in the restaurant...
"Big sister, if you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me. I have some connections in this county and may be able to help you find a solution." Sun Zhong misunderstood the embarrassment on her face as worry and said it very loyally.
Qiao Qingqing laughed dryly: "Good, Brother Sun."
Sun Zhong hurriedly said, "You asked me for a ticket for your trip before, and I got it for you on the fifth day of the New Year. I'll go into the house and get it for you now."
After a while, Sun Zhong came out with a private train ticket.
"Here, just this one. If you want more, I'll keep an eye out for you later."
Qiao Qingqing nodded: "Xiao, thank you for your help."
She was thinking of buying two cars, one with space for backup and one for daily use.
Of course, if she makes enough money in the future, she would even be willing to give each of her two younger sisters a car.
Qiao Qingqing is just like that, she is always very generous to her own people.
In her previous life, even people like the Shi family received endless benefits from her. In this life, she met two good sisters, Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang, and it was not a loss for her to give them her own car as dowry.
