Chapter 187 Let It Go
Shi Qingqing stretched out her cup and gently touched her bottle.
Yuanbao was so happy that his saliva was about to flow out.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Shi Qingqing returned to her parents' home with her child. She continued to chat with people on the way to let them know that she had returned to see her mother.
She didn't dress shabbily on purpose this time.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone will wear their best clothes, so there is no need for her to concentrate on acting or anything like that.
For the first time ever, Mother Shi gave Yuanbao a big red envelope and a small hat with two trimmed little furry balls on it.
You can see it was made with care.
Shi Qingqing originally planned to give only five dollars to each child, but when she saw the hat, she bought an extra box of milk and brought it in.
As her life became better and better, she no longer needed to please anyone to gain a sense of existence and prove that she was loved.
She has received love and is also giving pure love to her next generation.
She just did as her husband suggested, leaving a good reputation for her child and going through the motions. Hatred and hatred no longer occupied her mind too much.
Shi Qingqing still felt uncomfortable staying at home, so she simply went out for a walk, visited her eldest uncle's house, and also visited the home of her childhood playmate who had returned to her mother's home today.
"I heard you went out fishing with the boat. How come you didn't get tanned in the wind and sun?"
Shi Qingqing smiled and said, "When I didn't fish, I came back a little bit for nothing."
"How about your hands? After such intense and strenuous work, they look as white and tender as if you were a rich lady."
Nowadays in the countryside, there are no scars, calluses or peeling on the hands, as if they are the hands of the so-called rich ladies, living a life of luxury.
Shi Qingqing said that she wore gloves for protection, and she also showed the wounds on her fingers that she got when she first went out to sea and didn't know much about it.
Although two years have passed, the traces of those wounds are still very obvious.
Only then did the childhood playmate say "oh", as if he only then believed that Shi Qingqing was really doing hard labor.
Shi Qingqing felt that it was boring and left after sitting for a while. Her childhood friend said that he wanted to stay for dinner, but he had already started to clear the fruit plate on the table.
He never moved towards Shi Qingqing.
Shi Qingqing walked to the side of the road and looked at the fields that were no longer green, feeling a little lost.
When you are a child, you are a child. When you grow up, you grow up. The topics are different and your thoughts are completely unpredictable.
Yuanbao's hand suddenly touched his mother's face, and her expression seemed to be asking, what is mom thinking?
Shi Qingqing kissed her daughter's hand and said, "It's okay. Mommy is distracted. Can I show you where I lived when I was a child?"
I looked at each place one by one, but I didn't dare to get close to the shared apartment in my dream with a stinky ditch behind it.
Sister Xu moved directly to the chicken farm in the second half of last year. Now the farm has grown to a considerable size and the living environment has improved a bit. The chickens are kept out of the living area and the children are willing to live with them. She can drive her tricycle to take her children to school if there is a bus passing by. Life is much better now than it was two years ago.
Shi Qingqing found a car in her hometown and went back to the city. The van was originally suitable for six or seven people, but with some gifts and chickens and ducks brought from her mother's home, it seemed crowded. However, there were not enough cars available. If she hired one alone, the driver would probably say that this daughter-in-law was really rich and particular.
She doesn't want to let people know how good her life has become just yet.
After returning to their home in the city, Shi Qingqing took off her coat and lay down on the bed with her daughter. They both looked tired, which made Zhao Fengnian, who had just returned, sigh.
What were the mother and daughter doing?
Zhao Fengnian had something to do today, so Shi Qingqing didn't let him go back to her parents' home with her. After finishing the things at hand, Zhao Fengnian went home.
He refused the invitation from his friends to play cards, and did not go drinking with others. He just waited for the mother and daughter to come back and kiss each other.
On the third day of the Chinese New Year, I went to my cousin’s house.
It can be seen that my cousin's mother-in-law really likes breeding. She always has a happy smile on her face and keeps talking about what happened in the breeding process.
Xiang'er met a good friend at night school and said she would come to our house to play in the next two days.
The snacks that Shi Qingqing and Zhao Fengnian brought over were kept by Xiang'er to entertain her friends. "The snacks my sister-in-law chose are so trendy, they are what we young people like."
My cousins are quite old, and even if they want to have snacks, they don’t eat the yogurt, seaweed, or egg tarts that have been popular in recent years.
I prefer the orange brown sugar and various cakes here.
After having a meal at my cousin's house, I went back and brought back a chicken, a duck, half an uneaten smoked goose, and a basket of local eggs.
When I come home from a visit, I need to clean up the refrigerator again.
The smoked goose cut a large piece of meat from the thigh and sent it upstairs for Xu Xinyi to taste.
Otherwise, Zhao Fengnian and Shi Qingqing’s refrigerator was already full, and they couldn’t even finish half a smoked goose in one meal, so there was no point in putting more stuff in.
The refrigerator only provides low temperatures and prolongs the shelf life to a certain extent. It is not a disinfection cabinet that can disinfect anything you put in it.
Soon Xu Xinyi said she wanted to come over to play in the evening. Shi Qingqing laid out fruits and snacks, and prepared drinks and tea for them to choose from.
As they chatted, Xu Xinyi's husband said that he actually fell in love with the smoked goose again.
"Vacuum packaging technology is very mature now. As long as the food is not too juicy, the air can be vacuumed out. This goose might start to taste bad if left outside for one or two days. Vacuum packaging can prolong the shelf life several times. In the current temperature, it can probably be kept for more than a week. I think it's a good business."
After Zhao Fengnian stopped helping his cousin with the market, his cousin, an old man, felt overwhelmed even with Zhao Fengnian taking him to visit customers one by one. The workers he hired later also had limitations, and his business was not very big.
When Xu Xinyi's husband told this, Shi Qingqing's eyebrows jumped.
"Smoked goose is actually a little bit woodier, and people prefer duck. Smoked duck should also sell well."
After discussion, they decided to order fifty geese and fifty ducks each.
Zhao Fengnian went to call his cousin immediately, and Shi Qingqing also pretended to call a gigolo she knew.
In fact, the real situation is: the thousand ducks she stockpiled two years ago have to be shipped out!
I stocked up so much stuff that I almost forgot about it.
In the next two days, Zhao Fengnian went to his cousin's house to help make smoked geese, and Shi Qingqing handed over fifty smoked geese to Xu Xinyi first.
Two days later, Xu Xinyi's husband's fleet had work to do and set off with smoked geese and ducks.
When she came back five days later, she didn't even go home and excitedly ordered a hundred more ducks and fifty geese. Shi Qingqing suggested that she could make some smoked and pickled duck feet, which she knew how to do.
So Shi Qingqing made a little more money by selling frozen goods.
Shi Qingqing made money again. She saved most of it and used a small part to buy gifts.
Buy your husband a pair of leather shoes, a coat and a scarf.
I bought two sets of clothes and three pairs of shoes for my daughter, and also ordered a set of ancient costume, an all-red set of a festive doll, a small cape, and a small skirt. She wore thick cotton pants hidden under the skirt, so she wouldn't be cold and it didn't affect the matching.
Shi Qingqing also chose two sets of clothes for herself, a temperamental dress and a branded sportswear, and she also matched the shoes to suit the clothes.
Zhao Fengnian looked at the six pairs of shoes the family bought in one day, and quietly paid for an extra shoe cabinet.
Since his wife moved to the fishing village, she has often bought clothes and shoes for him and herself. Later, she would buy several pairs or even sets of shoes whenever she remembered.
Fortunately, the house has two floors and can accommodate everything.
