Thinking about Lu Heng downstairs, Qiao Qingqing didn't dare to stay for long. After eating a few bites, she made an excuse to leave.
Sun Zhong did not ask her for more money for the free train ticket, basically giving her the cost price. However, at the same time, Sun Zhong also tentatively asked her when she could get tuna again.
Qiao Qingqing only told him to wait for a while, which was a good opportunity to cool down the situation and prevent those rich people from thinking that this thing was a bargain and making it harder to get a higher price.
Sun Zhongyi thought about it and agreed.
When Qiao Qingqing went downstairs carrying the basket, she found Lu Heng talking to someone. What's worse, the man was one of Sun Zhong's younger brothers.
Qiao Qingqing dodged for a moment.
She didn't want to confront Lu Heng so soon...
She would have to spend at least a few dozen decades with Lu Heng, until she reached an age where she would not be at a disadvantage even if she died. Then it would not be too late to tell Lu Heng.
If Lu Heng knew what she was thinking, he would probably vomit blood. After all, his wife would wait until the day she died before she dared to open her heart to him.
Qiao Qingqing showed up only after the little brother left.
Lu Heng seemed to have known that she was coming, and his eyes were full of amusement.
Seeing this, Qiao Qingqing's heart trembled: Looking at Lu Heng's expression, did he guess something?
But Lu Heng didn't say anything else, just said: "This time the class time is a bit long."
Qiao Qingqing said truthfully: "They were waiting for me to have dinner, so I couldn't refuse, so I had to stay a little longer."
Lu Heng was silent.
After a while, Qiao Qingqing had already sat in the back seat of her car before she heard Lu Heng's faint voice.
"The 'others' you are referring to, are they gay or lesbian?"
Qiao Qingqing said unhappily, "They are a family of three."
When she couldn't see him, Lu Heng raised the corners of his lips.
"Where are we going now?"
"Go to the supply and marketing department and buy clothes for our children!"
Qiao Qingqing couldn't keep the money in her hand, and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't spend the cloth coupons she had just received.
As for money, Qiao Qingqing is not worried at all, as she has many ways to make money.
However, when she arrived at the supply and marketing department, Qiao Qingqing was dumbfounded.
"No clothes for children?"
The salesperson at the supply and marketing department couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard her ask the question for the third time.
"We are a supply and marketing company, not a department store. Where do we get children's clothes? We do have adult clothes. Do you want some?"
Qiao Qingqing looked around and saw that there were only adult clothes hanging there, and no children's clothes.
She sighed, "Why isn't there anything? This shouldn't be the case..."
"Are you going to buy it or not? If not, let the person behind you buy it." The salesperson's attitude was not very good.
But this guy is able to work as a salesperson in a supply and marketing company. He is indeed confident.
The salesperson's expression will only be better when facing acquaintances.
Qiao Qingqing is acquainted with Manager Liao. If she takes this relationship into account, she might be able to enjoy some preferential treatment for the sake of Manager Liao.
The problem is that Qiao Qingqing is afraid of being pestered by Manager Liao and being asked to buy her tuna at a low price again, so she hasn't contacted Manager Liao for a long time.
So the salesman had long forgotten about her.
Qiao Qingqing was not intolerant. She said in a good-tempered manner, "I want to buy it myself. Please help me get ten feet of cloth."
After she said this, the people queuing behind her couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
If one could still get ten feet of cloth coupons after the age of 20, then the family was really wealthy.
Qiao Qingqing chose two kinds of cotton cloth with different patterns. Although polyester cloth was more expensive and more popular, cotton cloth was much better than polyester in terms of comfort, especially for children, which was not suitable at all.
She cut ten feet of cotton cloth in one breath, bought more needles and threads, as well as some materials and tools needed to make clothes and shoes, and Qiao Qingqing walked out of the supply and marketing department with a full harvest.
Seeing this, Lu Heng, who was waiting outside, hurried forward to take it.
“Buy so much?”
Qiao Qingqing complained in a low voice: "What can I do? I also want to buy a few sets of children's clothes, but the supply and marketing department doesn't have any children's clothes for sale. I had no choice but to buy cloth, needles, thread and scissors and go back to make them myself."
However, Lu Heng knew that she was not good at needlework.
Seeing her distressed look, he reached out and rubbed her hair, "Go back and let mom do it. Find her something to do, so that she doesn't have to think about stealing work from me all day long."
Shi Meijun always felt that her son didn't know how to take care of people. Even though Lu Heng had returned to live with them, she still kept talking about coming over to take care of Qingqing.
But Qiao Qingqing didn't want to order her around.
She was not a rich lady, and she could take care of herself even if Lu Heng was not around. Since she already had Lu Heng to accompany her, why should she trouble her elders?
However, Shi Meiyun felt uneasy.
Qiao Qingqing had also been listening to her reciting for a long time, so when Lu Heng said that, she also laughed.
"That's right. I'll bring these things to mom in the evening."
Then, Qiao Qingqing said to herself, "There will be two more children in the family. I will have to make a lot of clothes every day. I still have to save money to buy a sewing machine."
Lu Heng remained silent.
He thought of the sewing machine that had been left at home when he got married.
And that sewing ticket…
Qiao Qingqing glanced at Lu Heng secretly.
Speaking of sewing machines, Qiao Qingqing felt a little proud.
This sewing ticket has no regional or time restrictions, so when Lu Heng gave it to her and said it was a betrothal gift, the only thing she didn't touch was the ticket.
Now that the family is planning to add a new baby, Qiao Qingqing has been thinking about finding an opportunity to buy a sewing machine.
Today I have laid the groundwork, and next time I come, I can buy it directly.
"Lu Heng, luckily I didn't use the sewing machine ticket you gave me before. I still have it. Next time, let's borrow a bullock cart from the village, buy a sewing machine and bring it back to Dong."
When Lu Heng heard this, his expression changed.
"I thought..."
Qiao Qingqing raised her eyebrows, "What do you think? Do you think I'm so stupid that I used the money for sewing tickets and left it at home to benefit those people?"
Even if Lu Heng thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to admit it at this moment.
"No, you are so smart."
"That's right. Sooner or later you will know..."
Qiao Qingqing suppressed the murmur on her lips.
The sewing machine in the space was originally owned by the Lu family, but it cannot be taken out and used because it will be too conspicuous. If it is recognized by the Lu family, there will be no way to explain it even if you have ten mouths.
Qiao Qingqing planned to sell it later.
If the black one is sold, the money will be enough to buy a new sewing machine.
As soon as she got home in the afternoon, Qiao Qingqing went to bed. She felt a little uncomfortable after the bumpy ride in the car.
Lu Hengyu tactfully put the things she bought back in order.
When I entered the room, my wife was looking at the train ticket back and forth.
Lu Heng asked her: "Have you wanted to buy a car for a long time?"
Qiao Qingqing glanced at him and said, "That's ridiculous. How much more effort can you save with a bike? Today you were worried about me riding back alone and refused to let me buy one, but next time I go into the city, I will definitely bring the bike home!"
Lu Heng smiled and said, "If you really like it, I will go to the city and ride it back for you tomorrow."
Qiao Qingqing was moved!
But soon she shook her head again.
"Forget it, let's talk about it next time we go into the city."
Next time I go to city to buy a sewing machine, I will definitely ask Accountant Zhou for help.
We will buy a car when the time comes. Lu Heng will ride back, and Accountant Zhou will drive the ox cart to bring things back.
As soon as it got dark, after having her meal, Qiao Qingqing took her basket and a bundle and went to the cowshed.
Lu Heng patrolled the surrounding area at night to prevent any reckless spies from coming to gather information.
"Mom, no one taught me to sew when I was a child, so I have to ask you to make the clothes for the children."
In the cowshed, Qiao Qingqing showed off the two pieces of cloth she had just bought today.
Shi Meiyun's hands are now covered with calluses, so she is very careful when handling the cloth, for fear of scratching it.
Touching the two pieces of cloth, Shi Meiyun seemed to see that she had two chubby and cute grandchildren, and her face was full of joy: "Okay, okay, you don't have to worry about the children's clothes, mom will make them."
"Qingqing, why did you bring so many eggs and meat again?"
At this time, Lu Zhenfeng, who was responsible for taking over the basket, also saw the supplies inside and asked with a stern face.
"You can keep these for yourself."
The old man also echoed: "Yes, Qingqing, you are pregnant and have worked hard, you need to replenish your body. Zhenfeng, help Qingqing carry the things back to the house later."
Qiao Qingqing quickly spoke out to stop him: "Stop, we have more eggs than we can eat now! Besides, I have a proper job now and I get a monthly allowance. The meat coupons we have together are enough. This meat was given to me by a friend in the county."
"Didn't I tell the team before that I would ask someone to take the seafood to other places for sale? I have already promised my friend that I would give them some hard work money. They thanked me and gave me a piece of meat. I also have a pig's trotter."
She bought two pigs from Sun Zhong, and she still hasn't finished eating half of the pig.
There was no way. Now that Lu Heng was back, she could no longer take out the meat and eat it as casually as before.
So when she came down from Sun Zhong's house for the first time today, Qiao Qingqing filled the basket with a basket full of meat, including a big pork leg, so that the meat in the space could pass through.
Qiao Qingqing must have had her reasons for choosing this time to send meat and eggs to the Lu family.
"Grandpa, Mom and Dad, please don't refuse. We are a family, and it's not easy for us to hold on until today. Now that spring ploughing has arrived, you have to do more work every day. Mom and Dad, if you take it a little easier, maybe you can hold on, but Grandpa is old, and if he doesn't eat more nutritious food, he will probably run out of energy."
"But the child..."
Qiao Qingqing smiled at the old man who cared about her: "Grandpa, you also know how much Lu Heng cares about me and the children. If we don't have anything to eat, he won't allow me to give it to you, right? I think instead of putting all the family resources on one person, it is better to distribute the supplies more evenly while ensuring safety. There is no need to feed me alone. As long as our whole family is safe and healthy."
Hearing these words, Shi Meiyun was not surprised at all. She reached out and poked her forehead, her tone touching and doting: "You kid!"
Qiao Qingqing took the opportunity to hug her arm and acted coquettishly: "Mom, you all have to be safe and healthy, watch my and Lu Heng's children grow up, get married, and have great-grandchildren, okay?"
"Hey!" Shi Meiyun opened her arms and hugged this thoughtful daughter in her arms, tears in the corners of her eyes, "Mom, how much good fortune must have accumulated in your previous life to meet my Qingqing!"
The old man and Lu Zhenfeng were both looking at the man with tenderness in their eyes.
Qiao Qingqing continued to talk to them for a long time until she began to yawn, and Lu Heng's figure outside the cowshed approached unnoticed.
