Chapter 52 His partner?
"Yes, it's the one with the ripe pine. Do you live nearby?"
"Yes, I have watched this child grow up since he was young. Wensong is a good child, sensible and polite. It is said that there is nothing wrong with the children of the Su family. It is just that they were born at the wrong time. Fortunately, it is all in the past. Look at how good the steamed bun shop business is that Wensong and his girlfriend opened? Good days will always come."
"He...his girlfriend?" Qin Han stiffened his neck and blinked.
The bun didn't choke him to death.
"Ah? Isn't Xiao Lin his girlfriend? I think they are a good match, a talented man and a beautiful woman," the old man smiled and took a bite of Qin Han's cold dish.
Qin Han pushed the cold dish towards the old man, thought for a moment, went to the counter, got a bottle of wine and two wine glasses, and poured a glass for the old man.
The old man took a sip with a smile.
Qin Han poured himself a glass and clinked glasses with the old man before continuing the previous topic, "Uncle, I think you are a wise man, but I don't agree with what you said just now."
"Hmm?" The old man took a sip of wine and took a bite of food.
"Look at that, Lin... that Xiao Lin you mentioned, how pretty is she? She looks like she's in her twenties, and that Su has a face full of wrinkles, even more than mine. How come they're a perfect match? Also, look at the sign of the steamed bun shop, it's Qin's Steamed Bun Shop, not Su's Steamed Bun Shop."
The old man was stunned. "Really? Xiao Lin's last name is Qin?"
Qin Han filled the old man's glass with wine, "Xiao Lin's surname is Lin, and Xiao Lin's husband's surname is Qin."
The old man blinked, thought for a moment, and then asked seriously, "Oh, when did Wensong change his surname to Qin?"
Qin Han: “…”
…………
Lin Chuxia saw that Qin Han had started drinking with an old man at some point, and felt that the cold dishes were not enough for the two of them, so she served two more plates and sent them over.
When Qin Han saw Lin Chuxia coming over, he stood up and greeted her, "Sister-in-law, tell me if we are a family."
Lin Chuxia didn't know what Qin Han was up to, so she smiled and nodded, "Yes." The old man was a frequent customer of the store, so Lin Chuxia smiled and explained to him, "This is my eldest brother."
"No, I'm your uncle, your man's biological brother," Qin Han corrected.
Lin Chuxia didn't think there was any difference, but she followed his words and said, "It's my eldest uncle."
"Oh, that's right, uncle, I didn't lie to you, did I? Chuxia, that's Xiaolin you mentioned, is my brother's wife. My brother is very capable. She was one of the first batch of college students after the college entrance examination was resumed. In all the years since our Qinjia Village has produced such a college student, she designed a bridge..."
Seeing Qin Han chatting with the old man again, Lin Chuxia smiled and shook her head.
The temperaments of the two brothers Qin Han and Qin Yang are sometimes really...
They look as decent as they can be, but in fact they are a little childish.
While Qin Han and the old man were drinking, the number of customers in the store increased and then decreased again. The old man was a little drunk. When his family members saw that he had not returned for a long time, they all came to the store to look for him.
Seeing him drinking with outsiders, he complained about his drinking and helped him back.
Qin Han could drink quite well, his face was slightly red but he was not drunk. He had almost finished his meal and wanted to have a bowl of porridge, so he took the empty bowl to get some porridge.
Su Wensong saw it and hurried over to help, "Brother, let me help you serve it."
Qin Han raised the bowl to the side and said, "No, you don't need help when you eat at my sister-in-law's restaurant."
Su Wensong saw the vigilance in his eyes and smiled, "Okay, then, big brother, you can do whatever you want."
There was nothing much to do in the store, and he still had to look for a house.
……………………
When Qin Han returned home, Zhang Guilan was about to go to the fields. She saw him and asked, "Why did you come back just now? Are there many people handing in vegetables at the vegetable station? Why do you still smell like alcohol? Did you drink?"
"After delivering the vegetables, I went to my brother-in-law's steamed bun shop."
Qin Han took off his clothes in the yard and took a towel to wipe his body with water.
It’s hot in the summer, and you’ll sweat all over while picking beans and working in the bean fields.
Seeing his casual look, Zhang Guilan frowned and reminded him, "You should also be careful when your sister-in-law is not at home. It would be bad if she comes back unexpectedly one day and sees you. You are the eldest uncle."
As the saying goes, it is better to sit on the lap of the younger uncle than to live in front of the eldest uncle. There has always been a sense of propriety between the eldest uncle and his younger siblings.
"Okay, I got it. I'll pay attention next time," Qin Han responded casually.
Zhang Guilan saw that he was not in high spirits, so she squatted aside and talked to him, "How is your sister-in-law's steamed bun shop? Business is pretty good, right?"
Qin Han sighed, "Well, anything is better than farming. I spent a whole lunch at my brother-in-law's bun shop, watching people coming and going. Everyone spent a few dollars. That's easy money. Look at us, we dig for food in the dirt, plant beans and eggplants, and take care of them from tiny seedlings to big ones, hoping they will bloom and bear fruit, but in the end they rot in the field and no one wants them. They said the market economy was good, but it's not necessarily good for us old farmers."
Zhang Guilan knew that Qin Han had always wanted to do business. If she hadn't stopped him, he would have set up a stall selling buns with his brother and sister-in-law.
It was too late to say anything now, so she could only comfort her husband, "You can't say that. There are no blind sparrows that starve to death in the world. We are just unlucky this season. Eggplants and beans are not valuable. Look at those who grow peppers, they are also selling them for money. Let's think about it carefully next year. There is still a chance to make money."
"Yeah," Qin Han responded and plunged his head into the cold water to wash his hair.
Zhang Guilan suddenly thought of something, "I heard from mom that my brother's wife hired two more people to work in the store."
Qin Han got angry when he heard this. "There are more than two people. There is also a man, who looks to be in his thirties, and he looks very elegant. I heard that he is an educated youth who has returned to the city. Tell me, these educated youth, where should they go after returning to the city? What kind of individuals should they work for? Who can't do odd jobs in a restaurant? He is an educated youth doing this, isn't he bored?"
"Keep your voice down," Zhang Guilan slapped her husband and glanced in the direction of her mother-in-law's room. "My sister-in-law is willing to hire him to do the job, so she must have found him suitable. Why are you reacting so strongly?"
Qin Han also realized something and lowered his voice to his wife, "How can I not react strongly? Look at my sister-in-law's face, and then look at her ability."
As a man himself, he knew how attractive a woman like Lin Chuxia was to men.
Not to mention others, even his cold and arrogant brother who wanted to be a monk became a different person when he met Lin Chuxia, let alone other people.
"The second brother finally got such a wife. He is not at home all year round. As the eldest brother, shouldn't I keep an eye on him? You didn't see that man. He spoke so sourly. I heard that women like this kind of literary..."
"Not really, right? Our second son is not bad either. He's tall and handsome. As for culture, isn't a college student more educated than his intellectual youth?"
Zhang Guilan still has great confidence in her brother-in-law.
Qin Han was not so optimistic. "Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. No matter how good the second son is, he is not around. That boy is always around my sister-in-law. Even if my sister-in-law doesn't have that intention, I can't guarantee that the boy does. As the saying goes, it's not the thief you don't worry about stealing, but the thief's thoughts. No, remind me tonight to write a letter to the second son to see if he can come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He can't stay away from home all year round like before. You have to ask him to write letters frequently. Don't marry a wife and leave her at home without caring about her. If she is really kidnapped by someone else, he will cry."
Zhang Guilan also thought so. "Then go and write it now. Don't go out to work in the afternoon. Send it out as soon as you finish writing it."
