Sister Liu shook her head: "I really haven't heard anything. I only knew they opened a store when I saw how busy they were recently."
In fact, Sister Liu was also making some calculations in her mind. She was a little envious of Zeng Qingqing. She thought, if she could have established a good relationship with Shen Anan at the beginning, maybe she would be the one doing business with them now. The thought flashed through her mind, but she didn't dare say it out loud.
Seeing that Sister Liu really didn't know what was going on, Yang Xiaoyue became even angrier. She felt like she was being fooled. After all the goings-on, she still found out nothing.
"Forget it, it's useless to ask you." Yang Xiaoyue said angrily and turned to leave.
Sister Liu looked at Yang Xiaoyue's back and felt a little uncomfortable. She knew that she had missed the opportunity and now could only watch Zeng Qingqing and Shen Anan's business get better and better.
Yang Xiaoyue returned to her home. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Finally, she slammed the door with a loud bang. She sat in the room, swearing to herself that she must find an opportunity to let Shen Anan know how powerful she was.
On the other side, Shen Anan finished a busy day, closed the shop, and got on the bus back to the military compound with Zeng Qingqing.
As it was getting dark, there were not many people in the car, so they found a seat and sat down. Their tired bodies swayed slightly with the bumps of the car, but they felt satisfied and happy in their hearts.
When I returned to the compound, Huo Rufeng and Lao Xu were both out on a mission today, so I didn't have to cook for them.
So, the two of them simply made an appointment to go to Shen Anan's house to cook and eat.
Zeng Qingqing took a piece of bacon from her own home and was about to go to Shen An'an when Sister Liu suddenly came out from the side with a smile on her face and stopped her.
The next moment, Zeng Qingqing saw Sister Liu holding a few pieces of brown sugar in her hand, and she forced them into her hands: "Qingqing, isn't my mother-in-law working as a caregiver in the health center now? This is the brown sugar given to her by her boss because she is efficient. I don't eat this, but since An An has been here for so long, we see each other every day, and I didn't give her a gift. Take this to her!"
Hearing this, Zeng Qingqing was stunned.
Don’t eat brown sugar?
Brown sugar is such a precious thing. It is only eaten when you get married, are pregnant, or are in confinement after childbirth. Given the situation at Sister Liu's family, how could she not have brown sugar?
After taking a deep look at Sister Liu's flattering look, Zeng Qingqing understood a little bit. It seems that she wants to please An An through herself. After all, her and An An's business is booming now, and everyone knows that it can't be that Zeng Qingqing is the one who does business, so who could be the reason for such good business? All right!
Right now, among the military wives in this military compound, who doesn’t want to have a good relationship with An An?
But she didn't expect that Sister Liu would actually take action!
"Sister Liu, this...this is so embarrassing." Zeng Qingqing refused, but still took the brown sugar.
Seeing that she accepted it, Sister Liu smiled even sweeter: "It's okay, it's okay. We are all neighbors, and we should help each other. Besides, An An looks thin, and it's our intention to nourish her body."
Zeng Qingqing secretly laughed in her heart, she knew that behind Sister Liu’s warm-heartedness at this moment was her regret for missing the opportunity and her envy of Shen Anan’s prosperous business.
"Okay, Sister Liu, then I'll thank you on behalf of An An." Zeng Qingqing said, and walked towards Shen An An's house with brown sugar.
When Shen Anan saw the brown sugar in Zeng Qingqing's hand and heard Zeng Qingqing's story about Sister Liu, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She knew what Sister Liu was thinking, but she didn't want to care too much about it.
"Qingqing, let's not worry about so much. You've worked hard today. I'll cook and you just take a rest!" Shen Anan said, took the bacon and went into the kitchen.
She is not blind. Zeng Qingqing was operating the sewing machine in the store until it was smoking. When closing the store, her legs were a little shaky.
However, there was no way Zeng Qingqing would let her work alone. Although she was very tired, An An was equally tired. She had to greet guests and review the daily schedule, which made her physically and mentally tired, so she followed her into the kitchen.
Seeing this, Shen Anan did not stop them, and the two of them got busy in the kitchen.
After finishing, the two were about to eat when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Shen Anan got up to open the door. It was Sister Liu standing outside the door, with a bit of nervousness and expectation on her face.
"An An, um... did Qingqing give you the brown sugar I just gave her?" Sister Liu asked tentatively, with a hint of uncertainty in her voice.
Hearing this, Shen Anan nodded and said with a smile: "Received, Sister Liu, thank you so much."
When Sister Liu heard this, the nervous expression on her face suddenly disappeared, as if a stone had been lifted from her heart. But Shen Anan discovered that Sister Liu seemed to be staring at the pieces of brown sugar inside.
"Sister Liu, you can take this brown sugar back. I appreciate your kindness."
When Sister Liu heard this, she retracted her gaze and waved her hands quickly: "No, no, no, An An, this is a little gift from me, just accept it."
Seeing that Sister Liu insisted so much, Shen Anan stopped refusing and made way for her, "Sister Liu, come in and sit down, we are preparing to eat."
Sister Liu entered the room but did not sit down. She stood there, looking a little embarrassed: "An An, actually I came here today to make a small request."
Hearing this, Shen Anan and Zeng Qingqing looked at each other and motioned for Sister Liu to continue.
Sister Liu took a deep breath, as if she had mustered up her courage: "An An, you see, you and Qing Qing are doing such a good business, I...I also want to learn from you."
After listening to Sister Liu’s words, Shen Anan was indeed a little hesitant. She knew that although the business in the store was getting better and better and there was indeed a shortage of staff, she knew Sister Liu well and her usual work style and way of dealing with people did not make her suitable as a partner.
"Sister Liu, we appreciate your kindness, but business is not something that can be decided on impulse. We need to think about it carefully."
After hearing this, Sister Liu looked a little disappointed, but she quickly put on a smile again: "An An, I know that I didn't do well in some areas before, but I really want to learn from you. I promise to do a good job."
Seeing Sister Liu like this, Shen Anan frowned, knowing that a direct refusal might make her lose face, so she had to say: "Sister Liu, let's put it this way, we really need to think about it carefully. Don't worry, we will give you an answer."
When Sister Liu heard Shen Anan say this, she felt that this was almost an agreement, and a look of joy immediately appeared on her face: "Okay, okay, Anan, Qingqing, you take your time to think about it, I'm not in a hurry."
Sister Liu didn't hesitate to pull over a chair and sat down. "You guys are eating. I want to try An An's cooking."
She could smell the scent before she even entered the door, and she was so greedy!
