The Xie family now has two bicycles - Xie Qingxiao originally had one, and Lin Shan gave Lin Xiangyi one as a dowry when she got married.
When going to the county town today, Lin Xiangyi originally wanted to ride one by herself, but Xie Qingxiao said that the two of them could just ride one and he would take her.
When Lin Xiangyi got married, she noticed that a large part of the road from Longjing Village to the county town was a mountain road with rugged conditions, making it difficult to ride a bicycle.
After hearing what Xie Qingxiao said, she didn't hesitate to let him give her a ride.
It's a good opportunity for him to kill time, otherwise he'd be thinking about that all night like a Teddy bear.
After arriving at the county town, the two rode their bicycles around the county, and when it was almost time for dinner, they went straight to the state-owned restaurant.
They ordered two bowls of pork dumplings. As soon as they sat down, workers and employees who were off work came in and formed a long line.
Lin Xiangyi was busy watching the fun, picking up the dumplings that had just come out of the pot and eating them. He grimaced from the heat, and quickly blew out air to cool down, saying incoherently, "The business of the state-owned restaurant is pretty good."
"Most of the people who eat at state-owned restaurants are workers and employees. They have a salary and are tired of eating in the canteen or are too lazy to cook at home, so they come here to open a small kitchen," Xie Qingxiao said. "The business is naturally good."
He used to hang out outside and was a frequent customer of state-owned restaurants.
"Indeed," Lin Xiangyi nodded and said, "People living in this world cannot do without food, clothing, shelter and transportation, especially food, which is the basis of our survival... How about we start a business that deals in food?"
Lin Xiangyi suggested: "Although many units now have canteens, and if you want to open a private kitchen, there are state-owned restaurants, but these places require tickets. Workers and employees are not short of money, but tickets are not many. If we want to sell food, there is still a market."
What Lin Xiangyi didn’t say was that she was a food blogger in her previous life, and cooking was also an advantage for her.
Xie Qingxiao ate a dumpling in one bite, and thought carefully about Lin Xiangyi's suggestion. He also thought her idea was feasible, but: "What food should we sell? Buns and tea eggs?"
As he ate, he said, "I saw quite a few people selling steamed buns and tea eggs in the city, especially in the morning at the station, staff dormitories, office gates, and schools. At that time, people are rushing to catch the bus or go to work or school, and don't have time to buy from other places, so they basically pay for them. These vendors have good business."
Lin Xiangyi nodded in agreement. The current market circulation in China is particularly closed. As long as you are bold, you can generally make money by doing business.
but.
"The profits from steamed buns and tea eggs are low, and the money earned is hard-earned," Lin Xiangyi said, "Let's wait and see. If there is no other choice, we will do this."
OK.
Xie Qingxiao nodded. Before he could say anything, a pair of dark arms suddenly hugged his neck: "You are out on the street, I thought you were going to stay at home with your sister-in-law and not come out for a while!"
It was Zhang Pengfei. He grabbed Xie Qingxiao's neck from behind, smiling mockingly.
Xie Qingxiao was held so tight that he couldn't breathe. He shook his arm off and said, "Are you trying to murder me? Do you believe I will make you lie on the ground and beg for mercy?"
"You can do what you want, but I'm not afraid. I have my sister-in-law to protect me," Zhang Pengfei smiled and sat down on the bench where Xie Qingxiao was sitting, looking at Lin Xiangyi.
At the banquet the day before yesterday, Lin Xiangyi made a scene at the Lu family, which dispelled Zhang Pengfei's misunderstanding that Lin Xiangyi married Xie Qingxiao because of Lu Dingyuan. He now recognizes Lin Xiangyi as his sister-in-law.
Now he smiled even more flatteringly: "Sister-in-law, if Brother Xiao beats me up, you will definitely help me, right?"
"You're overthinking it," Lin Xiangyi still resented him for teasing her on purpose when he picked up the bride the day before yesterday: "If Xie Qingxiao hits you, I will of course help him. Why would I help you? He is my man, not you!"
"Hey! Are you still protecting your child?" Zhang Pengfei said in disbelief: "Sister-in-law, you have changed. You used to hate Brother Xiao the most...hiss! Xie Qingxiao, why did you hit me!"
Xie Qingxiao slapped Zhang Pengfei on the head and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Not only did I hate Xie Qingxiao before, I also hated you!" Lin Xiangyi said.
Zhang Pengfei's attention was instantly diverted, and he asked curiously: "So now you don't hate Brother Xiao, and you don't hate me either?"
"Aren't you just talking nonsense? I've already married Xie Qingxiao. If I still hate him, wouldn't I just be making things difficult for myself?" Lin Xiangyi snorted.
But soon, she straightened her face and said, "However, I was young and petty before. I didn't understand you and I did have many misunderstandings about you. I'm sorry."
"No, no, no, sister-in-law, why are you apologizing? This is not your fault," Zhang Pengfei said hurriedly, "This is all Brother Xiao's fault. If he wasn't such a fool, he would have done this to attract - umm?"
"Zhang Pengfei, please shut up. You talk too much like those aunties at the village entrance," Xie Qingxiao picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into Zhang Pengfei's mouth.
Zhang Pengfei was caught off guard and almost choked to death.
"..."Damn Xie Qingxiao, if it wasn't for the fact that they were brothers, he would have to fight with him!
"Xie Qingxiao, what are you doing?" Lin Xiangyi scolded, and quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhang Pengfei, asking, "What are you attracting?"
Zhang Pengfei swallowed the dumplings with difficulty. Feeling the warning look from Xie Qingxiao, he did not dare to continue. "Sister-in-law, Brother Xiao is very proud. If I tell him, he will probably beat me to death. You should ask him yourself."
Lin Xiangyi glanced at Xie Qingxiao suspiciously.
Xie Qingxiao looked calm, "He's just talking nonsense, just ignore him!"
Lin Xiangyi was not a particularly curious person, so she didn't ask any more questions when she saw this.
"Are you alone?" Xie Qingxiao directly changed the subject and asked Zhang Pengfei.
"Really?" Zhang Pengfei finished his order and ran to the window to get it. He said, "You and my sister-in-law just got married, and I was embarrassed to disturb you, so I wanted to go find that boy Afeng. But Afeng's mother knew that you were married and wanted Afeng to get married soon, so she took Afeng to meet a girl. I was alone and had to come here to eat. Who knew I would run into you and my sister-in-law by chance?"
Lin Xiangyi was listening nearby, and for some reason she detected a hint of grievance.
She glanced at Zhang Pengfei, thinking that she must have heard it wrong, and then she heard Xie Qingxiao say, "Your sister-in-law and I will be walking around the county town in a while, do you want to join us?"
"No, no, no," Zhang Pengfei said, "You guys go shopping. I don't want to disturb your date."
"We're not dating," Lin Xiangyi explained, "Xie Qingxiao and I came to the county town today mainly to see if we can do some business. If you don't mind, you can come with us."
