As the year draws to a close, the braised food business is booming, and the expansion of the business is generally going smoothly.
Xie Qingxiao came back very late tonight. Lin Xiangyi, Xie's father and mother had finished dinner and warmed themselves by the fire in the main room but did not see him come back.
Lin Xiangyi was a little worried and didn't want to make Xie's father and mother worry too, so she said that Xie Qingxiao had told her in advance that he would be back late tonight, and asked Xie's father and mother to go to bed first.
After Xie's father and mother returned to the house, she went to the kitchen first to heat up the food left for Xie Qingxiao with a handful of charcoal fire. After returning to the house, she couldn't sleep and sewed diapers on the bed.
Her due date is in March. Before that, she had not prepared anything for the baby. A few days ago, Su Xiaomei came to chat with her and brought needle and thread to sew clothes.
Lin Xiangyi then followed suit.
I practiced with diapers and have been quite skilled at sewing after a few days.
Xie Qingxiao came back at nearly midnight. Thinking that his parents and wife had fallen asleep, he opened the door and saw that the light in his room was still on. He walked over quickly and saw Lin Xiangyi inside through the half-open door.
Under the dim and soft light, she leaned against the head of the bed, her lower body covered with a thick quilt and her upper body draped with a woolen blanket, holding the needle and thread in both hands, sewing carefully.
With eyes lowered and a serious look, his figure was elongated under the light, appearing particularly gentle and peaceful.
Xie Qingxiao was cold all over, but at this moment he felt warm.
"Wife," he pushed the door open, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lin Xiangyi looked up and saw Xie Qingxiao. She put the half-mended diaper aside, stood up, wrapped herself in a wool blanket and got out of bed: "You're finally back. Why are you so late tonight?"
"I met my elder sister and brother-in-law in the county town today," said Xie Qingxiao.
Lin Xiangyi: "Brother-in-law and brother-in-law?"
Before, Xie's mother felt that Sister Xie and her husband were in difficulty, and wanted to ask them to come back to the workshop to help. However, the workshop had not been established at that time, so Lin Xiangyi did not let them go.
They were shown a way forward, allowing the couple to return home and raise livestock to sell. They lived in the mountains and had unique conditions for breeding.
On Xie's father's birthday, they came back and told Lin Xiangyi and the others about their current situation and that they had raised a lot of chickens and ducks.
It has been three or four months now. If the first batch of chickens and ducks had been raised well, they should have been marketed long ago.
"How are the chickens and ducks they raised?" Lin Xiangyi asked.
“They just sell chickens and ducks.”
Lin Xiangyi: “…” So long?
Xie Qingxiao saw Lin Xiangyi's confusion and said, "It is true that the chickens and ducks they raised should have been sold a long time ago, but the couple was timid and kept delaying until now. When I met them in the family quarters today, they were still trying to build up their courage and didn't dare to sell them."
Among the brothers and sisters of the Xie family, eldest sister Xie is the most timid, and her husband is also gentle and honest. Asking them to take the chickens and ducks out to sell is really putting them in a difficult position.
Lin Xiangyi was somewhat helpless and asked, "Did you help them?"
"I took them to a restaurant," Xie Qingxiao said. "The restaurant manager saw that their chickens and ducks were well raised, so he asked them to bring all the goods to him."
"Really? That's great," Lin Xiangyi was surprised.
With a fixed sales channel, Sister Xie and her husband only need to raise the chickens and ducks well without worrying about not being able to sell them.
"Well, they care about you a lot. They asked about your situation and said they would come back to see you when they have time."
Lin Xiangyi curved her lips and said, "Eldest sister has always been very concerned about me."
Xie Qingxiao did not comment.
"Did you waste so much time just because you were talking about my elder sister and the others?" Lin Xiangyi asked.
Xie Qingxiao nodded. After discussing the hotel cooperation with his eldest sister and her husband, he went back to do his own things and came back late.
Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty. He lifted the blanket Lin Xiangyi was wearing and wrapped her up completely: "If you're cold, go back to bed."
"This wool blanket is so warm, why should I be cold? You are the one who is cold. Look, your clothes are all wet. Take them off quickly and put on this," Lin Xiangyi turned around and took out a coat from the closet.
Xie Qingxiao was actually fine. Although there was no heating in the room, it was much warmer than outside.
But with Lin Xiangyi's help, he took off his coat which was wet with dew and frost, and wrapped himself in the coat that Lin Xiangyi threw to him.
"Have you eaten? I left some food for you," Lin Xiangyi said, "I just put some charcoal to heat it up before I went back to the house."
“No.”
"Then wait, I'll bring you—"
"No, I'll get it myself. Don't go out. It's very cold outside," Xie Qingxiao said, then he quickly went out wrapped in his coat, first brought back a plate of hot water, then went back to get the food.
Eat while soaking your feet.
Lin Xiangyi had already lay back in bed. After all, although the room was warm, there was no heating, so it was still warmer in bed.
She also found it funny: "You really know how to save time."
Not really.
Xie Qingxiao just wanted to finish soaking his feet quickly and go to bed to sleep with Lin Xiangyi in his arms.
She is not suitable to stay up late now.
"You don't have to wait for me when I come back late in the future," he said.
Lin Xiangyi glanced at him when he heard this, and said generously, "How can I feel at ease if you don't come back?"
Xie Qingxiao felt a little warm in his heart, but he said, "What can happen to me?"
"You are just arrogant," Lin Xiangyi said unhappily.
Xie Qingxiao is not arrogant. He knows that he is just an ordinary man and if an accident happens, he can only surrender.
He just had a kind heart.
Seeing that Lin Xiangyi still looked worried, he said, "I will try not to come home late in the future."
"That's right, there's no end to making money," Lin Xiangyi said, "We don't have to work so hard, our conditions are already very good now."
