Chapter 56 Portrait
"Listen to me first. In the future, the company's models will become other people, and the two of us can just lie down and count money!" Hu Xiner tried to communicate with Mu Qing.
But Mu Qing had long been tired of her rhetoric.
"Now we have a house and enough money to live on, why are you so unwilling to be satisfied?"
His words made Hu Xiner feel like she was falling into an icy cave.
In the next few days, the company had no business and could not expand its business. Hu Xiner was bored and anxious.
A cold war broke out between the two of them, and every day during meals, Hu Xiner would find fault with the food Mu Qing cooked.
Too salty, too bland, too cold, or even the color of the dish is not good-looking, can all be her excuses to find fault.
"Why is this eggplant so soft?" Hu Xiner put the chopsticks on the table.
Mu Qing didn't respond and brought the dishes to himself.
"Did you deliberately cook the eggplant so badly just to prevent me from eating it?" Hu Xiner said angrily, feeling that she was being unreasonable.
Mu Qing got up and went into the kitchen, and after a while the sound of cooking could be heard.
He brought a plate of fresh eggplants to the table.
Now the two of them wash their own clothes. When hanging the clothes, Hu Xiner was annoyed when she saw Mu Qing's old clothes. The place on the chest that he had damaged was already patched with an ugly patch.
"Such ugly clothes are actually hung on the clothes rack. It's true that things resemble their owners." She muttered softly and threw the clothes heavily.
"Bang!"
At this time, the clothes hanger was two tree stumps with a bamboo pole on top.
Hu Xiner used too much force and the bamboo pole fell directly to the ground.
All the clothes fell to the ground, and it had rained yesterday, so the ground was extremely muddy.
Now all the clothes have to be washed.
Hu Xiner picked up the clothes angrily, deliberately skipping over Mu Qing's, and accidentally stepped on the old clothes.
After she walked away with the clothes in her arms, Mu Qing, who had been watching for a long time, came out to collect the clothes.
In this way, even though they were in the same house, the two always found a way to avoid seeing each other.
It’s been a long time since Gou Wa has found a good CP.
When Mrs. Li came to visit, she happened to see Hu Xiner washing clothes while cursing.
"What's going on?" Mrs. Li moved a small stool and sat next to her in confusion.
"I was hanging out the clothes, and they fell to the ground." Hu Xiner rubbed the clothes in a bitter and resentful manner.
"Isn't it Mu Qing who washes the clothes in your family?" Sister Li casually helped her wash a few handfuls of clothes. "What's going on? Did you have a fight?"
"No!" Hu Xiner said hatefully.
Sister Li thought for a moment and held her hand: "Don't wash it, sister-in-law will take you shopping."
"Ah?" Hu Xin'er paused, "Where are we going?"
"Let's come back to wash the clothes in the evening. Let's go to the county town!" Mrs. Li stood up with a smile.
There is probably no girl in this world who would refuse to go shopping when she is angry.
When she was leaving, Hu Xiner subconsciously looked back and found that Mu Qing seemed to have already left.
I felt a little inexplicably lost, but I was also glad that we didn't have to meet in such an awkward way.
After they left, Mu Qing opened the door and watched their backs disappear.
Hu Xiner and Mrs. Li sat on the ox cart and rushed to the county town. The rural scenery along the way made her feel much more cheerful.
"As for people, the most important thing is to be happy in life." Mrs. Li smiled. "You two are so capable, you should go out more often to buy things and have fun, instead of staying at home all the time."
"Why mention him? Can't you just praise me?" Hu Xiner said angrily.
"Can you tell me now why you quarreled?" Mrs. Li held her hand.
"Our store doesn't have much business now. I think it's not a good idea to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor, so I discussed with him whether we should expand our business scope." Hu Xin'er felt unhappy when she thought of Mu Qing's tone.
"That's a good idea!" Mrs. Li said objectively, "Young people should be bold and enterprising."
"But he said I was never satisfied and that I loved to attract attention!" Hu Xin'er said angrily.
"Maybe it's just his nature. There's nothing we can do about it," Mrs. Li said with some regret. "He's a low-key person. You should be understanding of him sometimes. After all, although he doesn't like to show up in the spotlight, he's always supported you."
Hu Xiner grabbed the corner of her clothes in frustration. These principles were all correct, but she just couldn't understand why everyone else in the village was trying so hard to get out and make a living.
But Mu Qing, a young phoenix, is willing to stay in the chicken coop. Isn't this a waste of talent?
Mrs. Li patted her hands and said, "It's a good thing that the couple's personalities complement each other. Everything should be discussed together. After all, you are a small family. No matter how many things happen outside, they are not as important as the one at home."
"I just don't understand, is there anything wrong with pursuing a better life?" Hu Xiner asked gloomily.
She dared to guarantee that as long as the store was opened in the county town, Mu Xin Advertising Company would usher in a complete turnaround.
At that time, with more capital, she could do other things, such as investing, drawing comics, starting new industries, or even supporting Mu Qing in doing anything he wanted!
But Mu Qing said that she was greedy and it was really hurtful.
Mrs. Li wanted to say something, but Hu Xin'er waved her hand and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's think about what to buy. You're right. Now that I have money, I want to enjoy myself."
The county town was indeed much more prosperous and lively than Shuangxi Village. After buying some cakes, Hu Xiner went shopping for clothes.
There were no mirrors in stores in that era, and although she knew she looked better now than when she first put it on, she couldn't withstand the long list of compliments from the clothing store owner.
I bought two sets of clothes in a daze, and stopped hesitantly when passing by the men's clothing store.
Mu Qing loved cleanliness and washed his clothes frequently, but he didn't have many pieces.
Before, it was because my family was poor, but now, do I need to...
Hu Xiner shook her head vigorously and walked out quickly. Mu Qing has his own money, why doesn’t he buy it himself?
I was walking too fast and bumped into someone.
"Ouch, I'm sorry..." Hu Xin'er was stunned when she raised her head. In broad daylight, the person in front of her was actually a man dressed in black!
The man in black raised the portrait in his hand and asked impatiently, "Have you seen this person?"
Hu Xiner took a closer look and was shocked!
Although the portraits of this era are rather abstract, judging from the delicate facial features and handsome eyes and eyebrows, it is undoubtedly Mu Qing!
The man was dressed strangely, and Hu Xin'er, alert, said, "I don't know him."
At the same time, she winked at Sister Li next to her, and Sister Li also said, "I don't know her."
After that person left, Hu Xin'er was very concerned: "Sister Li, do you feel..."
"That portrait probably isn't Mu Qing. It might be someone who looks like him." Sister Li lowered her voice. "You'd better not think too much or look at it too much, or you'll get into trouble."
Hu Xiner agreed, but had doubts in her heart.
Is the person in the painting really not Mu Qing?
