Chapter 62 Chapter 62 A world for two.
Seeing the pretty person standing in front of him, who was far more beautiful and bright than the one who made him fall in love at first sight, Lin Nanjiang's mind was now filled with his wife's pretty face that he could never get tired of looking at. He didn't remember the agreement they had reached not long ago that she could only dress like this when going out with him. He stared at her with burning eyes, as if his eyes had substance.
Only when he heard the familiar voice and tone did he regain consciousness a little, but not much. Lin Nanjiang only heard the last two words she said and nodded without thinking, "Okay, okay--"
After nodding for a long time, he finally came to his senses. "Um...Suqin, didn't we agree that I would wear these trendy styles with you?"
Why did she secretly become beautiful and leave him alone in the village to herd cattle?
"But it's comfortable and convenient to wear to work." Liu Suqin was fearless and shook the sparkling diamond ring on her ring finger. "Don't worry, I always wear my wedding ring. Everyone knows I have a husband and children."
Lin Nanjiang's attention was easily diverted. He stared at his wife's delicate hands without blinking, admiring them to his heart's content. He sighed contentedly, "Wife, the diamond ring looks so good on you. It makes your hands look so white and slender. I should have bought it for you sooner."
It was a rare occasion that his wife, after a long day of work, didn't stay home to rest, but instead came to the store to see him. Naturally, Lin Nanjiang didn't just keep smiling foolishly and wasting time. He quickly began to show concern, "Wife, it's your first day of business. Are you busy? Are you tired? Are you adapting well?"
Liu Suqin has heard similar concerns many times, but she patiently answered them one by one, "The opening was more lively than everyone expected. I'm not tired at all. Time flies when I'm busy, and it's time to get off work in the blink of an eye."
After answering fluently, she also anticipated Lin Nanjiang's next question and answered it in advance, "I'm here with Li Hong. When you guys are ready to set up the stall, you can take her with you. We're going to the urban village anyway."
"...Oh." Lin Nanjiang's wife had already answered everything he wanted to ask, leaving him with no other topic to talk about. He felt a little lost for a second before perking up again. "Then you should go sit down and rest for a while. We can clean up quickly."
Liu Suqin waved her hand and said, "You go and take care of other things. Since we are here, I will just entertain the customers here."
Although she hasn't been here many times this year, the boss lady still has her professionalism. How could she just sit here and watch them busy themselves like dogs?
Lin Nanjiang also believed in his wife's abilities. The most important thing was that she had been busy with her career this year and hadn't been around much. Some old customers had already started teasing him in front of him, asking where the boss lady had gone and whether she didn't want him anymore.
My wife showed off her skills today, and he can brag about it for another six months.
Whenever Lin Nanjiang thought of the envious, jealous expressions on some people's faces when they mentioned his wife, he couldn't bring himself to refuse. In the end, he could only earnestly advise, "Then you hold on for a while, but if you get tired, don't force yourself, just call us over."
It was past peak dining time, with only a few customers coming in. Her only job was taking orders and collecting payments. How tiring could it be? He was giving her so many instructions, making it seem like her task was arduous. Liu Suqin didn't even bother to complain, and just waved him off to get back to his business.
Lin Nanjiang then went back to the kitchen, looking back every few steps.
The job of being the chef was taken over by Lin Quansheng, who happened to be preparing for setting up the stall in advance.
Seeing that her daughter was busy, Qian Juxiang was no longer in a hurry to pick up her granddaughter. She just asked Li Hong to sit with the child for a while, and then she went to the back to get a rag and started to wipe everywhere.
There is strength in numbers. With the help of the two of them, Lin Nanjiang and Lin Quansheng quickly finished closing their shop and set out to set up their stall a quarter of an hour earlier than usual.
Liu Suqin and Qian Juxiang watched the car drive away at the store door, then turned around and headed home.
Qian Juxiang held the baby in her arms, Liu Suqin put her hands in her pockets, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren walked home leisurely. When they walked in, they saw that the hardworking Aunt Zhang had already cleaned the kitchen, dining room and living room. Seeing them, she couldn't help but ask, "Suqin, you're back. By the way, Sister Qian, does Fangfang want to take a shower now? If so, I'll go to your room and find her some clean pajamas."
Yes, after Qian Juxiang officially moved into the second bedroom, Xiao Fangfang's crib, clothes and toys were also moved to her grandmother's room. The master bedroom has completely become the world of Liu Suqin and her husband.
"Okay, go find some clean clothes, I'll take her to the bathroom first."
The two of them arranged everything for the child clearly. Liu Suqin happened to have nothing to do, so she said goodbye and went back to her room to remove her makeup and wash up.
After a busy day, having the hot water wash over your body is a very soothing and healing process. Since no one was interrupting her, Liu Suqin enjoyed it for a while longer. After washing, she applied a facial mask and then slowly applied skincare products all over her body, massaging them in for absorption.
After applying body lotion, it’s time for the facial mask, so I start washing my face and brushing my teeth, applying lotion and essence, and repeating the previous massage process.
After this whole set of tedious procedures was over, Liu Suqin was about to go to the living room to watch TV with her mother and the others, when she met Qian Juxiang's strange eyes, "You haven't come out for so long, I thought you went to rest directly after washing."
Liu Suqin knew why her mother said that. They always took a bath as soon as they came back. Her mother and Aunt Zhang not only gave the little one a nice bath, but they also got ready and started watching TV series. She just came out now, and she spent more time than the three of them combined. Given Comrade Qian Juxiang's personality, of course she had to say a few words.
But she personally said that it was normal for young people and the elderly to have different living habits, and that it was fine to seek common ground while reserving differences. There was no need to dwell on such trivial matters, so she deliberately avoided the main point and said, "Who goes to bed after 8 o'clock?"
"If you come out a few minutes later, it will be nine o'clock. Back home, there was no TV to watch, so didn't we all rest at this time?"
"You said it was in the past. Now we can watch TV and go shopping, so what's the harm in staying up late?" Liu Suqin said as she bent down, hugged her daughter who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, and held her up high. "Besides, I've been busy all day and haven't spent much time with the children. Of course, I have to interact with our sweet baby before bed, right?"
The little one responded with a giggle, and the clear and magical laughter drowned out the sound of the TV.
Aunt Zhang, who had no intention of intervening in the mother-daughter conversation, only jokingly said after seeing this scene, "It's true that children are closest to their parents. We both spend all day circling around little Fangfang, but she still loves her mother the most. If she's held for a while by her mother, she'll be happy all day long."
Liu Suqin was also very touched by Xiao Fangfang's undisguised preference for her mother, but she was really getting heavier and heavier. Liu Suqin had a hard time lifting her twice, so she had no choice but to sit on the sofa with the warm little weight in her arms, and then they played the bullfighting game with their foreheads against each other.
Qian Juxiang watched the mother and daughter go from butting heads to butting noses and chins, and finally their two pleasing faces pressed tightly together, hugging each other as much as they could, in an extremely intimate posture. The child's laughter would get out of control from time to time, stinging her eardrums, and her lips moved a few times, but she didn't say anything and watched quietly for a while, until the commercials on TV ended, then she silently turned her head and continued to follow the drama.
Liu Suqin gradually turned her attention to the TV, only occasionally lowering her head to touch the cheek of the child in her arms, making her giggle.
Just like that, she finished watching an episode of the TV series. Xiao Fangfang's chubby little face was pressed against her neck, and she was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed.
Listening to her daughter's steady and long breathing, Liu Suqin couldn't help but yawn. She refused her mother's good intention to take the child home to settle down. Instead, she personally carried her daughter to the crib, covered her with a small quilt, kissed her forehead and said good night. Only then did Liu Suqin feel at ease and returned to her room and fell asleep.
Liu Suqin slept very soundly and deeply, and she didn't need to wake up in the middle of the night.
I used to insist on getting up in the middle of the night to wait for Lin Nanjiang and the others to close their stall and go home, mainly because I had nothing to do anyway, so it wasn't that difficult to set an alarm in the middle of the night to count the money and increase my favorability points at the same time.
But she also has to go to work now, and getting up in the middle of the night to keep accounts like before is a bit too much. It is possible but unnecessary. Liu Suqin decisively handed the task of keeping accounts every night back to Lin Nanjiang.
Or he could ask Lin Quansheng to do it together.
After all, they had been in business for so long, and with her proofreading and guidance, keeping accounts must have been easy for them. They had to keep records of their daily purchases, so now it was just an added workload.
Besides, she is not a completely hands-off boss. Even if they want her to let go completely, she is not happy about it.
Liu Suqin has already made plans. The photo studio allows three days of rest every month. As long as she allocates her time well, she can take one day off for every week and a half of work. Then she can spend one or two hours during the holiday to help Lin Nanjiang and others reconcile the accounts, make sure there are no problems, and then go to the bank in person to deposit the turnover during this period.
It sounds a bit troublesome to settle accounts and go to the bank to handle business during the rare holiday, but it is a sweet burden, Liu Suqin said.
Lin Nanjiang and the others had no objection to the new arrangement, so the matter was happily decided.
Liu Suqin thought that from today on, she could sleep soundly until dawn, but when she was half asleep, she felt as if something was pressing down on her, and there was a feeling like a mosquito crawling on her body, disturbing her sweet dream.
What happened next was even more excessive. He pulled her and shook her continuously, and tossed her over and over like a pancake. Liu Suqin was almost woken up by it. She only remembered that she seemed to open her eyes and protest once when she was half asleep and half awake.
As for whether the other party stopped because of this, she had no recollection of it. Anyway, she just slept like this all night. When she opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside the window. Liu Suqin glanced at the time and felt carefully when she got up from the bed. Her waist and back were not sore and her whole body felt refreshed. If she hadn't seen the faint strawberry mark under her neck opposite the mirror when she was washing up, she would have really regarded the feeling of being pancaked last night as a dream.
I didn't expect that I was sleeping so soundly and had almost no reaction, but someone could still continue to the end. I vaguely remember that he manipulated us into several positions in the middle. I was particularly excited, which showed that he was really hungry.
Liu Suqin stood in the bathroom, looking at the marks on her neck quietly for a while before continuing with her actions.
A few minutes later, Liu Suqin opened the huge wardrobe and looked at the very sexy vest with reluctance. She had made plans before going to bed last night. Today she would wear this sexy vest with overalls, and her outer garment would still be yesterday's leather jacket.
The same coat, with different combinations, will present completely different styles and temperaments.
She was standing in front of the wardrobe like this at the time, feeling happy in her heart, and finally understood the feelings of so many beautiful and rich women who still insisted on going to work.
If I’m not going to work, who will I wear my new clothes, bags, and jewelry to?
Before going out every day, I can search the closet for my favorite clothes and skirts and match them in various styles. It makes my life more colorful.
Unfortunately, because of someone's carelessness, the small vest she wanted to wear the most was not suitable. Liu Suqin hesitated for two minutes and finally chose to accept her fate. She reached out and took off a loose white shirt, matched it with a pair of blue slim jeans, and after putting them on, she stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself carefully. She found that the red mark on her neck would appear and disappear when she walked.
Also because she was too white, any marks on her body would be particularly obvious, so she had to find a silk scarf to tie around her neck, so that it was completely covered.
After changing clothes, Liu Suqin put on makeup as usual. When she finished packing and walked out of the room, she still had a black suit jacket on her hand. The temperature was a bit low in the morning and evening, so she still had to prepare a jacket.
Qian Juxiang and Aunt Zhang had already prepared a hearty breakfast and were waiting. Seeing her style today, Qian Juxiang expressed her approval for the first time, "Look how well you wear your shirt. You look like the kind of girl you would find in a big city, or rather, the kind who works for a big company. You look pretty and well-dressed. You should buy less flashy, messy clothes in the future."
Liu Suqin deliberately misinterpreted, "So you mean I should buy more shirts and suits?"
Qian Juxiang paused. Her first reaction was to deny it, but then she suddenly remembered. If she denied it, would she be obedient? This girl had grown so powerful that she had no say at all. In the end, she just waved her hand and said, "You earn your own money now and spend it yourself. I can't control you. Buy whatever you want. If one day you find that you earn less than you spend every month, then you should just be honest."
The tragedy that Qian Juxiang described was obviously impossible to happen, because Liu Suqin's first month salary plus commission was over 900 yuan, and with the bonus, her income was definitely over 1,000 yuan.
However, the bonus was announced on the day of salary payment. Before that, no one except the boss knew about it. Liu Suqin started calculating the previous month's income in advance in the second month. The number she got shocked her and her whole family. She estimated that she earned more than 900 yuan during the internship period. She couldn't imagine how rich she would be after being hired as a regular employee!
This job really makes me more hopeful the more I do it.
With a monthly salary of more than 900 yuan, one is already a high-income earner with strong purchasing power. The key is that one is busy with work all day and has no time to spend money.
For anyone with a spouse and children, vacation is very precious. For example, Liu Suqin gave her first vacation after working to Lin Nanjiang, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, and the children had to be put aside.
That day, they simply left their parents and children behind and went out to spend a wonderful time together. They took a taxi to the beach for a walk, took photos, and had a seafood dinner nearby. In the afternoon, they continued to walk and take all kinds of beautiful photos, and immersed themselves in enjoying the long-lost, or perhaps unprecedented, pleasant time. Then they had a romantic Western dinner, and after eating and drinking to their heart's content, they went to the movies as planned.
The cinema at night has completely become the world of young people. Countless men and women are paired up. Lovers hug and kiss each other in the dim and ambiguous screening room, which makes Liu Suqin blush.
The occasion, which seemed so quiet and formal in her memory, turned out to be so lively at this moment, making even this old aunt blush and her heart beat fast.
To be honest, no matter how affectionate the couple was in private, it was all done behind closed doors. The most outrageous thing they did in public was holding hands. At this moment, seeing that most of the audience in the cinema were busy whispering to the people next to them, and few of them were watching the movie seriously, Liu Suqin even began to wonder if they had accidentally entered some kind of play venue?
What a mistake. Movies should be watched in broad daylight.
Liu Suqin wanted to get up and leave at that time. She was about to turn around to discuss with Lin Nanjiang when soft lips unexpectedly brushed against her cheek. Liu Suqin realized that she was the only one who was at a loss. Lin Nanjiang had adapted very well and had even adapted to the local customs. He even put his face close to her when she didn't notice.
This was too exciting in a public place. Liu Suqin tilted her head back and just as she was about to create some distance, a big hand gently lifted and pulled her head back. The hand even pressed her down on his shoulder before withdrawing.
The hand that was pressing on her withdrew, and Liu Suqin was about to raise her head and stand up again, but was pushed back to her original position the next second. Along with his hot breath, there was a whisper that only reached her ears, "Wife, what's wrong?"
The movie had already started, and Liu Suqin didn't want to disturb others, so she lowered her voice to indicate that she wanted to go out.
"The movie has just started, why don't you watch it again?" Lin Nanjiang advised softly, "If it's really not good, let's quietly leave."
Liu Suqin wanted to say how could she continue watching the movie in such an environment? She was afraid that she would get stye if she stayed any longer. But then she thought again, these two movie tickets cost her dozens of dollars, and she didn’t even get to see what the protagonist looked like. It would be a big loss to leave like this, so she just sat in her seat and didn’t move.
Seeing that he had persuaded his wife, Lin Nanjiang patted her shoulder again and motioned her to come closer. Seeing that she didn't move, he whispered, "If I sit up a little, you will be more comfortable?"
Liu Suqin: ...
Is it necessary to lean on this shoulder?
Forget it, compared to some unsightly hugging postures, lightly leaning on each other is already a very normal and reserved posture. Liu Suqin finally did what someone wanted and leaned quietly on his shoulder, trying to watch the movie seriously.
Facts have proved that staying was a wrong decision. Liu Suqin didn't understand what the movie was about until the end. The story was only halfway through, and some people were already more involved than the protagonist of the movie. They hugged each other and were inseparable. In the dim environment, it was difficult to see who was with whom, but the ambiguous sound of water was heard one after another.
Liu Suqin didn't want to, but she had already heard it. Her attention was inevitably drawn to the movements around her. She couldn't control her wild thoughts, her face was blushing, and her heart was beating fast. She didn't understand the movie at all.
She wanted to leave early, but someone had said so nicely before, that he would accompany her anytime if she didn't want to watch anymore. But when it really came to this, that big hand kept holding her down and not letting her leave. He even leaned over to her ear and blackmailed her, "What's wrong, honey? Do you want to go back? Then let's wait a little longer. It's not good to disturb others now..."
Not only did Lin Nanjiang not want to disturb certain people's good deeds, he was even eager to join in. Several times his lips were about to touch Liu Suqin's, but at the critical moment, Liu Suqin ruthlessly blocked them with her hands.
Damn it in public, this is her last bit of moral integrity.
For the last time, Lin Nanjiang kissed her palm directly.
Liu Suqin felt a burning sensation on her palm and subconsciously tried to pull her hand away, but was then held tightly by his warm big hand.
Lin Nanjiang's action made her face turn pale. She couldn't help but wonder if he was holding her hand down and that he would force himself on her next step.
Fortunately, the thing she was "afraid" of did not happen in the end. Lin Nanjiang held her hand tightly in his palm, as if he was already satisfied. He stroked the back of her hand from time to time, tilted his head to kiss her cheek, and waited obediently until the end of the movie.
As the lights came on, the people who had been acting recklessly in the darkness turned into gentlemen again, and stood up and left one after another, each with a serious expression. Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang were among them. Lin Nanjiang even walked out while calmly discussing with her how exciting the movie was and promised to come again next time.
"Are you sure it's so exciting?" Liu Suqin asked quietly, "If Quansheng asked you tomorrow what the movie was about and he was considering inviting Xiao Li to watch it with him, how would you answer?"
Lin Nanjiang: "Um...tell him that they still have to go see it in person. If I tell him in advance, there won't be any surprises?"
Not giving his wife any chance to sabotage him further, Lin Nanjiang said confidently, "But that's not the point. The point is that we need to remind him that before a relationship is confirmed, it's best to schedule a daytime movie date. Otherwise, he might be mistaken for a jerk, and a good date might slip away before they're even established."
Liu Suqin: "Then you are a very nice person."
Lin Nanjiang puffed out his chest proudly, "Of course, this is all from my personal experience and from the bottom of my heart."
However, they were together legally, and it was actually quite exciting to accidentally enter such an occasion. Unfortunately, his wife was too shy, and Lin Nanjiang was unable to get close to her at that time. After leaving the cinema, he thought more and more that he had lost. When he passed by a newly opened hotel, he couldn't help but stop and extend an invitation.
Liu Suqin initially thought he was joking. What was wrong with staying in a hotel instead of going home?
But Lin Nanjiang leaned close to her ear and said, "But we have lived in a guesthouse before, but the environment was not good and it wronged you. Now we have the conditions, I want to take you to stay in a big hotel. I heard that five-star hotels have bathtubs and floor-to-ceiling windows, and you can see the sea and the other side. Don't you want to try it?"
Liu Suqin was almost persuaded by him, "But I haven't prepared anything today, and I still need to take off my makeup and take a shower."
Lin Nanjiang was not disappointed. He just looked at her with burning eyes and said, "Then next time we go out on a date, should we just bring our luggage with us?"
"I don't know when the next time will be." Liu Suqin counted on her fingers. The next time they both had a day off, she would have to take the child out to play for a day, otherwise Xiao Fangfang would make a fuss. Later, she would have to keep appointments with friends and colleagues. In short, she was very busy with work.
Lin Nanjiang said that these are not obstacles. "No matter how long it takes for the next time to come, there will always be a next time. Just agree to it, my wife."
"Okay, okay." Liu Suqin thought this was a couple's benefit. She would agree to anything. "As long as you are responsible for convincing my mother."
Lin Nanjiang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, leave it to me."
