Chapter 186: Happy cooperation, neighbor!
Xu Xinyi's husband drove out immediately. Xu Xinyi didn't have a car, but she had made preparations in advance. After going out once and coming back, one third of her things were missing. She went to the market again, and another third was missing. She went straight to the hotel for the last bit.
It's too rude, no one will pay any attention to you.
As a result, Xu Xinyi said she would give them a box and ask them to place an order again if they liked it.
Shi Qingqing was shocked by this generous move.
After two days of leisure, Xu Xinyi came to make another reservation. The hotel decided to make an exception and hold a lobster event, ordering thousands of lobsters every month, and even more orders were needed around New Year's Eve.
Shi Qingqing agreed.
So I ran again.
Originally, I was told that I could take a two-month break, but I ended up meddling in other people's business and getting myself back to work.
Fortunately, the money came in one thousand at a time.
Later, Xu Xinyi's husband renewed the order for oysters.
Shi Qingqing goes out once every three days, so she is not as busy as before.
By the end of December, Shi Qingqing had earned nearly 50,000 yuan.
She gave the money to her husband and told him some of her decoration ideas.
Zhao Fengnian looked at the decoration drawings. It was a completely minimalist style with a lot of hidden storage spaces.
Moreover, the corners where dust is likely to hide are marked with what kind of custom furniture should be put in.
A home like this must be very clean to live in.
A budget of fifty thousand is not a lot at this time, but it is not a small amount either.
Zhao Fengnian himself had some experience, so he recruited several local workers to come in for measurements and meetings. For three consecutive days, they only held meetings and measurements while eating and drinking, and no work was done. He made sure that the detailed data was transmitted to everyone for understanding.
When we feel that everyone has a preliminary understanding of what he means, we can then look at the design drawings to see what is extremely difficult.
It turned out that there weren't many places that needed to be cut, so we started buying materials and several people started drilling holes and breaking bricks.
The people on the first floor will go to their children's home to celebrate the New Year in a few days. The second and third floors are all Shi Qingqing's. The house opposite is being sold, and the noise from upstairs is not that terrible. The couple sells seafood, and the mother-in-law takes the child to the clinic, so there are no conflicts.
Shi Qingqing took her children and moved to the seaside.
This is Yuanbao's second time here, but he has adapted to the environment here very well.
I guess there's some lingering "smell" of my parents here.
The fact that Shi Qingqing had given birth to a child was only known to other people in the fishing village at this time. One after another, some people who had met her before but were unfamiliar to her came to her house with their children to play.
Shi Qingqing would ask the children to come home clean, she said the children at home were not in good health and she had to be more careful, so no one would complain on purpose.
Yuanbao seems happy, as there are different people playing with her every day.
I have been living here for more than half a month to avoid the noise of renovation. Guo Yumei has come twice, but both times she was too embarrassed to enter the house or see Yuanbao.
She still feels guilty about it.
Shi Qingqing sighed.
I wasn't too enthusiastic, nor did I try to drive them away on purpose.
But she really had no intention, and she stopped the person who was about to commit violence immediately. However, the misunderstanding was definitely caused by Guo Yumei, and Shi Qingqing could not completely ignore this fact.
After New Year's Day, the weather became three points colder. Yuanbao was almost wrapped up like a rice dumpling by his mother, with only his face showing and even his ears hidden.
Shi Qingqing smiled as she watched her daughter "carrying weights forward" on the mat, and she herself laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward.
Raising a child is indeed interesting.
They say it’s not fun anymore after elementary school, but at least it’s quite fun now.
After the children went to bed, Shi Qingqing would sometimes cook and hide the finished dishes, and sometimes read novels.
There is a type of novel that has emerged today that is about revenge.
Shi Qingqing frowned at the content and entanglements in the book, but she was unwilling to put it down.
The emotions are really greatly pulled by the words and the plot.
Ordinary people like her who only care about eating, drinking and making money cannot understand why the so-called revenge is to find a man who likes her and marry him after being hurt by the male protagonist.
Is this revenge or compromise?
Or is there still some lingering expectation in your heart?
I always feel that it is not fair to this man I have a crush on.
But the author is too good at writing. Picking out the things and making theories about them is somewhat distorted.
But it's really immersive when you watch it.
It's a small book that can be finished quickly.
Shi Qingqing went to the street stall and bought some more.
Occasionally you can buy some that look colorful, but the color scale is just right, with a slight stimulation without being overly pornographic.
Shi Qingqing was so addicted that she read about seventeen or eighteen books and became fed up with it.
Not watching anymore.
At this time, the Spring Festival of 2002 also arrived.
Starting from the day before yesterday, the hotel that Xu Xinyi contacted has been urging the lobsters to be delivered as soon as possible every day.
Zhao Fengnian has been very busy recently and has been unable to take care of everything, so Shi Qingqing had to take the baby and spend the night on the boat.
He told Zhao Fengnian that he was going to the yard, but in fact he was getting on the boat.
Shi Qingqing couldn't go into the water because she had to carry the child on her back, but fortunately she had prepared plenty of bait and could use a fishing rod to catch lobsters without any instruction. She could also go to the cold sea and exchange wine, sugar, rice, etc. with the locals.
There is a seaside city where the seafood is of good quality and the price is several times cheaper than the wholesale price of the seafood just caught in the fishing village where Shi Qingqing lives.
This city is made up of four words, and eating seafood there is simply a delight for budget travelers.
Shi Qingqing came up with her child on her back and went straight to a few retail traders, exchanging some wine, sugar, rice and cloth for half a boat full of lobsters.
It’s enough to supply the hotel twice.
Shi Qingqing felt that this was a good place to be lazy, but catching seafood usually only required her manpower, and she had to pay "capital" here, which was a little unsatisfactory, but everything else was fine.
But since you are just being lazy, you must weigh the pros and cons and make sure there are gains and losses.
Shi Qingqing continued to trade lobsters in this way for the next two or three days, acting as a wholesaler.
But exchanging items for other things saves cash, so you can still make a profit in the end.
Before New Year's Eve, Shi Qingqing saved up enough food for Xu Xinyi and her husband's needs for the next week, and carried her child home to celebrate the New Year.
Zhao Fengnian gave his last few trusted assistants a day off in the morning, but they all went home with full pockets. Since they were basically locals, Zhao Fengnian drove some of them back.
Some of them were paid extra to have someone drive a four-wheeler to take them home.
There are quite a few four-wheeled vehicles on the road at this time, but being sent to your doorstep by a four-wheeled vehicle during the New Year is still a very prestigious thing in the countryside.
Everybody is happy.
Shi Qingqing was also happy.
"Last year we finally accomplished two major life events: having a child and buying a house and a car."
Zhao Fengnian added that we bought two houses.
The debt was immediately cleared.
"Then after we pay off the last little bit this year, all the money we earn will be savings! Another important life event is on the agenda! Let's take action!" Shi Qingqing, who was a little tipsy, could not even speak a complete sentence.
But Zhao Fengnian could understand that kind of excitement.
The child held the warm milk and watched his parents toast, and he was eager to try it.
