"Yes. Qingqing, are you really not going to go to Guangcheng with me? We can just go there for fun and take a look at the fabric market over there."
Shen Anan looked at her.
Hearing this, Zeng Qingqing stopped holding the lychee in her hand in mid-air. She hesitated, feeling both curious and afraid: "An An, I...I really want to go, but I'm worried. I'm afraid something might happen..."
Shen Anan smiled gently, reached out and patted the back of Zeng Qingqing's hand, and comforted her: "What are you afraid of? It's not like you haven't been out before. It's quite far from your home to here, right? Besides, people always have to go out more and broaden their horizons. Just think of it as traveling and doing some things by the way."
Hearing this, the hesitation in Zeng Qingqing's heart began to slowly dissipate.
Yes, it’s not a good thing for her to stay here all the time. If Old Xu wasn’t here, she wouldn’t want to stay here!
"An An, you're right. I can't stay here forever. I need to go out and see the world."
"That's right, Qingqing, let's go together, we can take care of each other and learn together."
Shen Anan responded.
In fact, she advised Zeng Qingqing like this not because she had nothing to do. Opening a store is something that cannot be done by one person. People are needed for buying goods and shipping goods. If she has anything to do, the store can't be left unattended, right? Or maybe no one is going to purchase the goods?
Moreover, she had a hunch that someone would discover the business opportunity of selling fabrics, and it would be better to open a store sooner rather than later. So who else could she find to cooperate with at this time?
The partner must be trustworthy, able to endure hardships, and easy to talk to.
At the moment, she really can't think of a second choice except Zeng Qingqing.
Zeng Qingqing, who had hesitated for a while, showed a determined expression on her face. She nodded: "Okay, An'an, I will discuss it with Lao Xu tonight to see if I can go with you!"
Just as he finished speaking, the sky darkened and dark clouds quickly spread across the sky like spilled ink. Zeng Qingqing and Shen Anan felt that the atmosphere on the mountain was not right. They felt nervous and quickly packed up their things and hurried down the mountain along the muddy path.
Zeng Qingqing said as they walked: "It's very cloudy today. If it starts to rain, I'm afraid it will continue for several days."
Shen Anan followed behind, feeling a little uneasy, but she didn't think it would really rain for so long. The two of them quickened their pace and hurried home, one step deep and one step shallow.
Sure enough, the rain began to pour down, and it got heavier and heavier with no sign of stopping.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Shen Anan stood at the door, looking at the rain curtain outside, anxiously waiting for Huo Rufeng's return.
Just then, Zeng Qingqing came running over in the heavy rain, wearing a piece of plastic sheet. As soon as she entered the door, she quickly shook off the rain on her body and said to Shen Anan, “Anan, Huo Rufeng and the others went to the reservoir. They said that the rain has been falling for too long and they are afraid of flood control, so they have to watch over there tonight.
But you don’t have to worry, the weather has been like this for the past few months, and it was the same last year. I was just afraid that you were waiting here, so I came to tell you! ”
After hearing Zeng Qingqing's words, Shen Anan breathed a sigh of relief. She was mainly worried about whether something would happen to Huo Rufeng.
After saying this, Zeng Qingqing left.
Shen Anan originally thought that she was going back, but a moment later, Zeng Qingqing came back with the half-finished sole in her hand.
Why? It was still early, Old Xu was not at home, and she had no one to chat with. Plus, she felt that Shen Anan must be anxious when she first learned that Huo Rufeng was guarding the reservoir, so she thought about coming over to talk to her and finish the work at hand.
"Qingqing, look at you. You're still running here in such heavy rain."
Shen Anan smiled helplessly.
But she was also very happy in her heart. Zeng Qingqing was watching him making so much noise, but she inadvertently felt a little warmth.
Zeng Qingqing smiled and shook off the rain on her body, saying nonchalantly: "It's okay, this little rain is nothing. Besides, I'm free at home, so why not come over and accompany you."
The two sat in the house, Shen Anan poured Zeng Qingqing a cup of hot tea, while Zeng Qingqing took out the soles and continued her needlework. Shen Anan looked at Zeng Qingqing's skilled technique and couldn't help but admire: "Qingqing, your craftsmanship is really good. The soles you sew are smooth and solid."
Zeng Qingqing threaded the needle in her hand and said without looking up: "My mother taught me this craft. She used to make clothes and shoes for people. I watched her since I was a child, and I learned it after watching her many times."
After hearing this, Shen Anan remembered that Zeng Qingqing was so excited about opening a fabric store before. Now looking at her craftsmanship, she couldn't help but say, "No wonder you are interested in my opening a fabric store. It turns out that you have such a good craftsmanship."
Zeng Qingqing raised her head, a gleam in her eyes: "Yes, I have liked doing these since I was a child. Don't tell me, when I was a child, I really thought that if I could open a tailor shop when I grew up, I could make clothes and shoes by myself, how great it would be."
"Qingqing, I think you can do it. Let's work hard together. Maybe soon after we return from Guangcheng, your idea will come true!"
Shen Anan sighed.
It seems that this is really fate. Before, she didn't know that Zeng Qingqing had such a skill.
The next morning, the rain had stopped and the air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and leaves. As soon as Huo Rufeng returned home, he took a quick shower to wash away the fatigue of the night. Shen Anan looked at his red eyes and advised him to rest quickly.
"Rufeng, you should get some sleep. You must have been exhausted last night." Shen Anan said softly.
Huo Rufeng just looked at her quietly, his eyes deep. After a long while, he said softly: "An An, no matter what happens in the future, I will only have you as my wife."
After hearing this, Shen Anan felt puzzled. She didn't know why Huo Rufeng suddenly said this, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just patted his hand gently and said, "I know, go to sleep."
After hearing this, Huo Rufeng seemed to feel relieved and soon fell into a deep sleep. Although Shen Anan was not sleepy, she didn't want to disturb him, so she got up carefully and walked out of the room quietly.
As soon as she walked out of the yard, she saw Zeng Qingqing standing outside the door, as if waiting for her.
As soon as Zeng Qingqing saw Shen Anan, she hurried forward, her face full of anxiety, but it seemed like something was stuck in her throat and she couldn't say it. Seeing this, Shen Anan asked with concern: "Qingqing, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"
However, Zeng Qingqing opened her mouth but swallowed the words back, looking as if she found it difficult to speak.
Shen Anan looked at the scene and thought that there might be something difficult to say, so she tried to change the subject and talked about Huo Rufeng's strange behavior in the morning: "Rufeng came back today and said something I didn't quite understand. It seemed that he was in a weird mood."
