Chapter 170 Urban Neighbors
Shi Qingqing did not follow on the first trip. She went to a nearby place to buy some food, kitchen utensils, paper towels and other basic daily necessities.
Then he called a three-wheeled taxi and took the things back to the old factory.
In the evening, everyone had hotpot together.
Shi Qingqing was very generous in choosing ingredients with more meat and less vegetables. The fruits she sent were also the expensive ones found in imported stores.
Even the beer is mid to high priced.
Both the host and the guests had a great time that night. Several of them even told Zhang Sheng that it was no wonder that he was so sure that Zhao Fengnian would become rich. With such generosity and the look of a woman who would bring good fortune to her husband, it would be strange if Zhao Fengnian did not succeed.
Shi Qingqing was pregnant and had less labor, so she naturally became plumper, with a full forehead and round and fleshy cheeks. Isn't this what most people would recognize as a lucky charm for her husband?
Shi Qingqing didn't take this kind of "praise" to heart. She didn't eat much in the old factory. When she returned to the new house in the evening, she had some boiled vegetables to eat.
"You don't even dip it in soy sauce?" Is the taste so bland?
In the past, people would dip shrimps and crabs in soy sauce and vinegar.
"I don't know. I used to like Sichuan cuisine, but recently I like lighter flavors more and more. I also prefer vegetarian and fish."
Zhao Fengnian also scratched his ears. He had heard of sour boy and spicy girl, but had never heard of what it meant to suddenly eat light food.
But men and women are the same, he sincerely thinks they are the same.
As long as he's not a devil.
Be a good boy and don't worry your parents too much.
Perhaps it was these words that worked. After Shi Qingqing vomited once when she was taken to the mediation session, she never vomited again.
The three-bedroom, one-living room is filled with furniture and appliances selected by the couple, including new ones and a few large pieces of furniture that they hope the landlord will keep.
The bed is very solid, and I think a person weighing 600 pounds could roll on it.
After changing the mattress, Shi Qingqing especially liked lying on it and refused to get up from the ground.
The study door is often open for ventilation, and more than a dozen books have been added to the room. When they are free, the two of them will sit together at the huge desk, reading books, practicing calligraphy, and writing in account books, on both sides.
The two seemed to be particularly accustomed to moving into a better house.
Perhaps it was because of the courtyard in the fishing village that Shi Qingqing had carefully decorated as a foundation that he was able to adapt so quickly.
After moving in, Shi Qingqing planned to go back once a month since it was the fishing ban period.
Zhao Fengnian was not so idle. He went out every day.
After his business got on track, he felt that the way of giving away recipes along with dry goods was quite attractive. Few people would refuse free things, and there was no need to be afraid of recipes even if they were given by a stranger.
So he asked his wife, his uncle, Zhang Sheng's grandmother, and many other people for recipes for their signature dishes or dishes made with mountain products.
Based on this, he also compiled a recipe and printed it on small cards, which he gave away along with the packaged mountain products.
Shi Qingqing doesn't need to rush to make money for the time being and can stay at home comfortably.
Occasionally go downstairs and walk around the neighborhood.
Sometimes I would buy some vegetables, sometimes I would pack some food in my bag and go to the park behind to walk around the lake.
A dozen or so old men and women, like a group, would practice Tai Chi by the lake at 6:30. A few men who were concentrating on exercising would keep running and occasionally stop to stretch.
On weekends, there are people who look like elementary school students coming here to rehearse.
After Shi Qingqing became familiar with them, she was invited to be a spectator.
The days passed quickly, and Shi Qingqing had already lived here for two months.
During this period, I also made friends with elementary school students.
Through her, I also made friends with my upstairs neighbor who was also a pregnant woman.
This elementary school student liked talking to Shi Qingqing. After all, she was pretty and had a soft voice, and he would occasionally give her snacks.
One time, Shi Qingqing saw her here and learned that she was visiting her aunt's house, so she got to know Xu Xinyi, the owner of the upstairs house.
The two of them visited each other twice, and Xu Xinyi just lived directly at Shi Qingqing's place when Zhao Fengnian was not at home.
She has food and drinks here, and the refrigerator is full of fine goods, including hard-to-buy snacks and homemade treats.
Her father-in-law owns a farm and her mother-in-law is a nurse who retired early. She often comes to their house to make soup every now and then. She always makes two servings of ingredients, all of which are fresh and home-raised.
Once when they slaughtered a pig, they gave Shi Qingqing a whole pig leg and a piece of ribs. Shi Qingqing ate the ribs for a long time.
Xu Xinyi didn't want the food that Shi Qingqing gave her either. After all, she had gone downstairs to eat so many snacks but Shi Qingqing had never charged her for them.
Zhao Fengnian goes out early and comes back late every day, and the one in Xu Xinyi's family is always on business trips. So during the day, it's basically just the two pregnant women accompanying each other. They don't have obvious morning sickness or discomfort, and they can eat a lot. The two families get along quite well, and their relationship is gradually becoming closer.
Little girl Xu Zihan would definitely come here on weekends and after school. Shi Qingqing would never be bored and her face would become increasingly rosy.
She would go out once a month. In the morning, she would go back with Zhao Fengnian and drive the boat to deliver goods to several places. Then in the afternoon, she would walk around the town with a bulging belly, buy two-dollar cakes and some small fish to send to her mother.
Anyone who sees her on the street would say something about her being filial.
The days passed so dully and quietly, and the summer vacation was over.
During the two hottest months, Shi Qingqing's face was almost blowing against the electric fan.
If she wasn't afraid that the moisture would enter her body and affect the child, she would have wanted to buy some ice cubes and let the wind blow towards herself.
Fortunately, Xu Xinyi's mother-in-law was well versed in this heat-reducing recipe, so the two pregnant women didn't have a hard time.
Later, Shi Qingqing was willing to give Xu Xinyi food, also because of her mother-in-law.
Xu Xinyi is older, but her belly is about the same size as Shi Qingqing's. She even wondered if Shi Qingqing was pregnant with twins.
But her mother-in-law helped her find a doctor to check, and it turned out that it was not a sign of twins.
At this point, I would like to suggest that you control your diet a little bit. If the baby is too big, delivery will be very painful and it may even tear your lower body apart.
Shi Qingqing admitted that she had been a bit indulgent recently, so she gave up snacks, ate less fruit, and started taking more walks in the park.
After persisting in this way for more than a month, her belly seemed to have not grown noticeably bigger, but she still insisted on not eating snacks.
During the National Day holiday, Xu Xinyi was hospitalized.
The due date had not yet arrived, but her mother-in-law was worried, so she moved in early.
Shi Qingqing would visit her every two days and bring her some food.
Compared with Shi Qingqing, Xu Xinyi was a twin who was too thin, so she was given as much to eat as possible. While eating, she would say to her belly, "I've eaten your Aunt Qingqing and the baby's share. You must be nice to Aunt Qingqing and the baby when you come out."
People who are on the same wavelength get to know each other quickly and become close friends quickly.
Shi Qingqing also learned the identity of Xu Xinyi's husband this month. He is a driver for a logistics group.
But he is not an ordinary driver. He has four cars and several subordinates working with him. He specializes in driving routes in Fujian, Jiangxi and Zhejiang.
When Shi Qingqing heard this, she actually had something to ask.
