Qian Qing stopped and was stopped by a couple. The man looked average, but the young woman next to him was a familiar face.
Tian Xue covered her head with a big hat and held an umbrella. The umbrella was lace-edged and looked expensive.
The young man seemed to be well-educated and he specially invited Qian Qing to sit under the shade of a big tree.
When I saw Qian Qing's appearance, I was a little surprised. Although Qian Qing's forehead was covered with sweat and her hair was wet, it looked like she had nothing on her face, but the more she looked like this, the stronger the impact was, like a flower poking out of clear water.
When Qian Qing saw Tian Xue, she was just surprised for a moment and then started to promote her ice cream seriously.
"Comrade, what kind of ice cream do you want? We have a new kind today. No one in the factory has ever had it before. They say it's made with pure milk, without any water added. Do you want to try it?"
Qian Qing seemed to be born with a business sense and knew what to say to what kind of people.
The young teachers at the primary school gate were often with students. If she tried to sell them in a roundabout way, they would think she was dishonest. Besides, there were four girls walking together, and they just wanted to eat ice cream. So it was better to make a quick decision, state the price directly, introduce it briefly, and sell it as soon as possible.
But the two people in front of her were obviously not short of money, especially since they were a man and a woman. They must have valued quality, not price. If she came up and said that she had sold out, there would be only one thing left, and the other party would inevitably think that her things were not good.
As expected, Tian Xue became interested as soon as she heard it. It's not like she hasn't eaten ice cream of this era before, but she could only say it was average through the filter of her childhood.
But the gimmick of saying that no water is added, isn’t this just the internet-famous ice cream that is sold at a very high price in later generations?
"How much is one?"
"One dollar."
The young man didn't want to buy it anymore. One dollar is a dividing line. If it's less than one dollar, it can be considered as buying a snack. If it's more than one dollar, he always feels that it's not worth spending money on something that will be gone as soon as it is eaten.
Tian Xue didn't think so at all. One dollar, the prices these days are really affordable. This is the price of ice cream without additives. If it's too low, she would think it's fake!
"Give me two."
Tian Xue turned around and smiled: "It's my treat."
Qian Qing quickly took out two from the box for her. Tian Xue was the one who paid for it, so naturally she handed the cigarettes to Tian Xue.
The young man frowned slightly, and Tian Xue handed him one with a smile, then impatiently tore off the packaging bag of the other one and put it in her mouth.
She took the 1,000 yuan from her step-sister, but felt a little scared when she got home. The novel doesn't introduce her as a passerby, but the memories of the original owner she inherited are real.
A few decades later, her step-sister would have been a real "other people's child". She went to college, had a boyfriend during college, and returned to her hometown to work in the oil field with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend's father was a big leader in the oil field, and her sister came back to work as a technician.
In such a comparison, she, who failed to get into university and has been staying at home, seems to be Wang Luping's sister Wang Ziling Benling.
However, Tian Xue touched her cheek and felt extremely satisfied.
If she had to choose, she would not choose her step-sister's path. Her step-sister was good in everything except her appearance.
With such a pitiful little white flower appearance, it is simply a cheating device in life.
"Brother-in-law, this ice cream is really delicious, no wonder it only costs one dollar."
That’s right, Tian Ziling was going to follow the example of her predecessors and mess with her brother-in-law.
The young man's brows never relaxed: "Don't call me brother-in-law." This will affect Xinran's reputation.
He was also puzzled. Chen Xinran was such an independent and strong girl, why was her sister such a person? She walked and ate all the way. She was holding an umbrella and acting coquettishly, saying things that no one could understand.
If he hadn't met him on the way, he really didn't want to bother with this guy with a brain problem.
Tian Xue didn't care at all. She took the 1,000 yuan from her step-sister. When her step-sister realized what was happening, she would definitely go home and make trouble. Rather than passively being punished, she might as well take the initiative and involve her future brother-in-law first.
When the time comes, money matters will interfere with feelings, and we'll see how her sister handles it.
Tian Xue sneered at her step-sister whom she had not met yet. She was a college student and was assigned to her hometown for a man. Isn't this just love-minded? You have to know that her step-sister is a first-year college student. She is very rich and many good companies are vying for her. Although the Northern Oilfield is not bad, it is not a serious government agency after all. Giving up a good opportunity for a man, what else can she do if not love-minded?
Tian Xue felt that as long as she could get her future brother-in-law, her sister would definitely be very sad, and then she would see how she would talk about the one thousand yuan.
In addition, Tian Xue also has some selfish motives of her own.
There are only two paragraphs in the novel describing the original owner, both of which are about assisting the heroine Wan Zhenzhen. One time, she gave Wan Zhenzhen one thousand yuan, and the other time, she fell in love with a married man Zhou Hao, but was bullied by Zhou Hao's wife, Qian Qing, the biggest loser in the whole book. In the end, Wan Zhenzhen got the upper hand and obtained an antique worth five thousand yuan.
The book mentions his "brother-in-law" in some detail, saying that as the son of a big boss at an oil plant, his career went downhill after his family retired. However, with the support of his wife, he successfully started a business and eventually became a well-known entrepreneur.
Tian Xue thought about it and thought that being an entrepreneur was not bad. If she had traveled back in time earlier, she could have flirted with the male protagonist of the book. After all, he was the protagonist and he must have a halo. But unfortunately, when she traveled back in time, Wan Zhenzhen had already married Wang Hua.
After all, the heroine also has a halo, and Tian Xue doesn't want to get involved.
She interfered with Wan Zhenzhen's first pot of gold, but did not want to interfere with Wan Zhenzhen's future "money-making plans".
The original book describes in great detail how Wan Zhenzhen received the reward, but as a novel, it is impossible to describe the time and place clearly. So Tian Xue can only hope that Wan Zhenzhen will trick Qian Qing again and again like in the book, so that she can find the right time to get the reward.
With this in mind, it would be best for her to marry into the oil field compound and keep an eye on Wan Zhenzhen and Qian Qing closely.
Considering this, "brother-in-law" Zhao Nan is the best choice.
It can help her keep her step-sister as a bomb, and she can also get some bargains nearby. Most importantly, Zhao Nan will be a big entrepreneur in the future, so this business is a win-win no matter how you look at it.
Tian Xue finished her ice cream, threw away the stick, and took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe her hands.
From the corner of my eye, I saw that Zhao Nan had finished eating a long time ago, and now his face was stiff, as if he was not used to the sticky feeling of his hands.
Tian Xue smiled and handed over the handkerchief: "Brother-in-law, you can use mine."
"No need." Zhao Nan took out a dollar from his pocket, "There's no reason for you to treat me to a meal. This is mine."
