Chapter 65: Saying One Word and Thinking Another (Part 2)
They both entered the room, and Zhao Fengnian told his wife everything about the construction site and placed all the money he had earned in front of his wife.
"Give it all to me? You don't want to keep any for yourself?" Shi Qingqing asked deliberately.
Zhao Fengnian thought for a moment and said, "Give me half of it."
Shi Qingqing asked expressionlessly. "Why don't you just take them all?"
She knew that it was inappropriate to speak like that, and that she was a little petty and greedy.
But it felt like the words just came out of my mouth on their own.
It was as if she had once been powerless to stop Zhao Fengnian from spending his hard-earned money, but Zhao Fengnian used moral reasons such as friendship, mutual help, etc. to justify her decision.
So Zhao Fengnian clearly promised to hand over his salary and let Shi Qingqing take care of all the household affairs, but within a month he took away half of his hard-earned money without saying a word.
Not only did he go back on his word, but he also didn't take the initiative to explain what the money was for, so she became sarcastic.
She thought to herself, could it be that some things in the dream were still deeply integrated into her body, so she subconsciously treated Zhao Fengnian with the mentality in the dream.
She wanted to make amends. After all, up to now, she had not taken the initiative to ask Zhao Fengnian what he wanted the thousand for.
Zhao Fengnian looked a little surprised, and then he immediately explained, "Don't misunderstand me, my dear. Don't be like this. His face turned pale. I'm not going to do anything bad with the money. I'm ordering cement and red bricks to repair and raise the wall. Do you really believe me? I'm not going to use it for anything else!"
Shi Qingqing listened to it, and the feeling of irritability and sadness gradually faded away.
Yes, Zhao Fengnian mentioned it before.
She slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air: "I'm sorry."
Zhao Fengnian pulled her and said, "You should take a rest first. There's no need to say sorry. It's my fault for not speaking properly and not concluding..."
Shi Qingqing shook her head: "I just came here, so I look bad and have a bad temper. It's not your fault, so you don't have to take it on yourself."
It clearly sounded like a reasonable statement, he admitted his mistake and apologized immediately, but the more he did this, the more uneasy Zhao Fengnian felt.
Even if a couple fights at the head of the bed, they will make peace at the foot of the bed. Is it really possible for them to be so polite and courteous to each other?
He would rather his wife stare at him and refuse to admit her mistake.
That way he would feel more at ease and would not keep thinking about the last time his wife was so "fair" when she filed for divorce and left the house with nothing and gave him an IOU to make up for the 3,600 yuan betrothal gift.
"No! Honey, don't apologize to me. I was wrong and it's all my fault!"
Shi Qingqing wondered why he suddenly went crazy and half-knelt, but she felt a little weak in her body and had no patience. "I said it's not your problem, so it's not your problem. Stop arguing. I'll lie down for a while.
You cook two of the fish in the bucket, and I'll prepare the rest when I wake up."
Zhao Fengnian stopped making trouble and went out to kill fish.
By the time he was in his teens, he had already become very skilled at killing fish and had finished two fish in no time.
His wife used to eat light food, but since the typhoon she seems to have started to eat heavier flavors. So should we steam one and braise the other?
It’s pretty good to live by the sea. At least you won’t have to worry about seafood or fish.
Fish is so delicious that you would be happy even if you eat it for the rest of your life.
Zhao Fengnian happily cooked two fishes. Shi Qingqing only lay down for half an hour before getting up. She had something on her mind and it was difficult for her to fall into a deep sleep.
The couple was a little silent at the dinner table. When the meal was almost over, Shi Qingqing looked at the man who was hesitant to speak. "Just say it if you have something to say."
"I will go find work in two days, but I'm not being lazy. I want to fix the fence at home before I go out."
Shi Qingqing laughed: "This is also your money to rent the house, why are you so cautious? It was me who didn't..."
Zhao Fengnian didn't want to hear his wife say it was her fault again.
Hearing Shi Qingqing talk like this, he felt sour and awkward in his heart, and he also felt that it was his fault if his wife apologized.
"I'm not urging you to go out and work. In fact, it's good for you to rest at home for a while. I also want you to deal with the circuits in this house and optimize them. When we have money to buy a refrigerator or other electrical appliances in the future, we will need sockets."
She didn't understand anything about circuits, but she knew that her husband's previous job was of this type, and he could change light bulbs!
For the first time after her marriage, she felt how good it was to have a man by her side because of the efficiency he showed when changing a light bulb and... ahem, the bulging muscles on his arms and the muscles on his back visible through his vest.
Zhao Fengnian nodded and said that he would check to see if there were any other changes that could be made to the old house.
It would be best if it could be modified more conveniently and restored to its original state when moving away.
The reason why he had no concerns about the wall was that if he didn't repair and raise the wall, what would happen if others could easily climb over it?
After Shi Qingqing had eaten and drunk her fill, she ordered him to kill all the fish.
"I originally brought these fish back to fry them for you. The weather is cold, and the fish are fried, so it should be enough for you to eat for a few days. It's enough to share with my co-workers... Although you are no longer at that construction site, I may not be able to keep so many fish. I might as well just continue to fry the fish."
Zhao Fengnian worked hard to kill the fish.
Shi Qingqing took the account book and counted the money, and would give it directly to Angkor later.
As for the two thousand yuan from Zhao Fengnian, she only kept five hundred for household use, and let Zhao Fengnian arrange the rest. In addition to the wall, the kitchen table also needed to be reinforced, and she also wanted to let Zhao Fengnian solve the problem of the sewer pipes.
More refund, less supplement.
After an hour, the fish had been marinated long enough, so we started frying the fish pieces.
After frying the dumplings, she went to Angkor's house, gave the money to Mrs. Wu in front of the couple, and asked her to count it several times.
Then he took away the paper on which she had copied and stamped her fingerprints.
"Then the transaction is completed." After Shi Qingqing finished speaking, Mrs. Wu asked when would be a better time for the next transaction.
"Wait two days. It will take them two days to use them up."
"Okay, tell us one day in advance and we'll give you the latest. If you're not at home, we'll call you. Do you have a telephone at home, or do you use a pager?"
Shi Qingqing hadn't thought of this yet.
To be honest, it might be more convenient to install a home phone, but it would cost several thousand to make calls.
The average price of a pager is around two thousand yuan, and receiving pagers also costs money, but it is convenient to carry.
A mobile phone can now be bought for less than 5,000 yuan, which is much cheaper than a few years ago, but it is bulky and not necessarily used frequently.
In a few years, it seems that there will be a good opportunity to give away mobile phones when you top up your phone bill, but I'd better not consider using Big Brother.
The phone was locked at home again.
With a pager, she can explain when she needs to collect seafood and when she doesn't, because the "restaurant" will notify her.
"Oh, that one. I lent it to a friend before, and someone kept calling me when I got it back. I'm changing it now. I'll let you know when it's done in a couple of days."
Mrs. Wu nodded.
After Shi Qingqing left the Wu family, she wondered why lying became so natural to her now.
Is it possible that the business skills are automatically unlocked?
