The supermarket was on the second floor. Qin Xin took Wen Xi's arm and walked up the escalator to the second floor. Wen Xi had never seen this kind of escalator before, and she didn't know that it was like the steps of a staircase. As soon as she stepped on it, her body fell backward. Qin Mi quickly reached out and supported Wen Xi from behind.
Wen Xi smiled awkwardly, "Thank you."
Once Wenxi had regained her balance by holding onto the railing, Qin Mi released her.
Qin Mi now believed Qin Xin's suspicions. Wen Xi was probably not from here. Although she performed very well, details don't lie. She was indeed unfamiliar with many things, but she also had some understanding of them and wasn't completely clueless.
They soon arrived at the supermarket entrance on the second floor. Qin Xin pulled a shopping cart from the door and walked inside, with Wen Xi following behind her.
Upon entering the supermarket, the fruit section was on the left, filled with all kinds of fruit. Wenxi no longer felt that the prices were expensive, because she knew that prices varied from era to era and could not be compared between two different times.
"Durian is so cheap today, this big piece is only fifteen yuan." When she arrived at the fruit weighing area, Qin Xin took out a box of durian from the counter. It should be a whole box of durian flesh, and it looked very plump.
"Qin Xin, take as much as you like. It's my treat today," Wen Xi said.
Qin Xin smiled and said, "No need, we brought our own money."
Although it's not much, it's still enough to buy some of the fruits I like.
Seeing that there were several boxes of the same fruit that Qin Xin was holding in the counter, Wen Xi took them all and put them in the shopping cart. "Buy, buy more, I want to eat some too."
"Alright then!" Qin Xin thought Wen Xi also liked durian, so she nodded in agreement.
Wen Xi turned her head and saw the grapes on the shelf next to her, so she asked Qin Mi in a low voice, "Qin Mi, are there any places that grow grapes around here?"
Qin Mi nodded, "Yes, if you want to go, I'll take you there another day."
"Okay!" Wen Xi nodded with a smile.
Wenxi also saw the cornbread and steamed buns she had eaten at the Qin family's house in the freezer, but the prices in the supermarket were too high. Buying in bulk would cost her a lot of money, so Wenxi decided to go directly to the factory to buy them at the wholesale price. That way, she could get at least three times the amount of goods for the same price.
Wenxi took a bag of cornbread and looked at the packaging for a while before finding the manufacturer and contact information. She then took a picture with her phone to record it. She decided to call the manufacturer when she had time to order a batch of cornbread and steamed buns. If there were any other items, she would also order some.
After buying the phone, Qin Xin told her about all the commonly used functions, so she now knows how to use the phone.
After Qin Xin finished selecting her items, everyone went to the cashier to pay. Wen Xi took out her money and handed it over directly, not letting the Qin siblings pay. After all, she had money!
She can earn over 100,000 yuan just by selling one large yellow croaker. How could she let the Qin siblings pay for all that money?
After buying the goods, Qin Mi took Wen Xi to a nearby bank to open an account. Qin Mi told Wen Xi to deposit only 1,000 yuan for the first time, because if she deposited too much, the bank would definitely investigate the source of her income. If Wen Xi said that she got the money from selling gold, they would definitely investigate the source of the gold. Although the gold belonged to Wen Xi, her affairs were not easy to investigate. So Wen Xi listened to Qin Mi's advice.
After the bank cards were processed, the three of them took the bus back. The bus didn't go to the countryside, only to the town, which was several kilometers away from the Qin family's home.
They didn't bother Qin's father to pick them up; instead, they got off the bus and took a taxi back to their hometown.
Meanwhile, the Qin family had already called over their relatives and other villagers who wanted to sell watermelons to help them pick the watermelons. After they finished picking the Qin family's watermelons, they went to pick other people's, with everyone helping each other.
Now that someone has finally come to buy watermelons and is offering 70 cents a pound, they don't want to miss out and want to take this opportunity to sell their watermelons.
After Wenxi and the other two arrived home and rested for a while, Qin's mother came over and said, "Liangliang, we've already rented a warehouse for you. Would you like to come and take a look?"
"Okay!" Wen Xi quickly stood up. "Thank you, Auntie."
Afterwards, Wenxi and Qin's mother went to check the warehouse, which was a house in the village by the roadside. However, the family worked in the city and bought a house there. They would only come back to pay respects to their ancestors during the Qingming Festival or the Spring Festival, and were not usually at home.
Wenxi was very satisfied with the warehouse and nodded happily. "Thank you, Auntie. This warehouse is not bad. I will pay the rent to you when we settle the watermelon bill."
Qin's mother took out her key, first opened the large iron gate to enter the courtyard, and then opened the door to the main room, where she saw that there were already many bulging sacks inside.
"Liangliang, these watermelons were all picked by us today and have already been weighed. Each bag weighs a little over 100 jin (50 kg), so we'll charge them all as 100 jin," Qin's mother said.
"Thank you," Wenxi said with a smile. She decided to give them a little extra money when she paid the bill, knowing that farmers work hard and earn little, so she didn't want to take advantage of them.
Even if it's just an extra pound, she'll give them money, let alone since there's always an extra pound in every bag.
Qin's mother handed Wenxi a handful of keys to the courtyard gate and the house door, saying, "Liangliang, these are the keys. Keep them safe so you can come and move the watermelons anytime. If you need any help, just tell us and we'll help you find someone in the village."
Summer days are long, it doesn't get dark until after 8 pm. Wenxi wasn't sure when she would have to leave, and worried about wasting time, she took the key and returned to the Qin family home, then asked Qin Xin to take her to see other places.
Qin Mi pushed out the electric scooter and carried Wen Xi and Qin Xin on it. Qin Xin had Wen Xi sit in the middle while she brought up the back, so Wen Xi's front was pressed tightly against Qin Mi's back. In the summer, clothes are thin, and when they were pressed together, they could feel each other's bones. It was really embarrassing.
However, Qin Mi did not have a driver's license and could not drive his father's car, so he could only ride an electric bike.
After riding for about half an hour, they arrived at an abandoned primary school. Qin Xin got off the electric bike and explained, "This used to be a primary school. We went to primary school here. But later, because there were fewer and fewer students, many schools were closed down, and this primary school was also closed down. Later, someone rented this place and started raising pigeons here. The pigeons often fly around."
Reaching the iron gate, Qin Xin pressed the doorbell. Soon, a middle-aged man came over and asked, "What are you doing here? What can I do for you?"
