"Don't worry, sisters-in-law. If you go back to the city, Zhao Jingyu and Xu Qingning will definitely take you to their home to stay." Tang Wenya said gently and seriously. "Zhao Jingyu was able to find such a good job, and you deserve half the credit. No matter how bad he is, he should be grateful to you."
The stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.
It doesn't matter that she can't argue with Xu Qingning; what matters is that these two people in front of her are Xu Qingning's sisters-in-law, and their status speaks for itself.
Three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang.
Xu Qingning was happy as long as her two sisters-in-law could annoy her.
“His house is as big as a chicken coop, how could it possibly house so many of us?” Zhou Chunyan rolled her eyes and said. “Besides, with that shrewish wife of the third son, how could she possibly tolerate us?”
"Exactly! We're all sisters from the same family, but the third sister-in-law is no match for you. Putting everything else aside, once my mother-in-law left, we had to do our own laundry and cooking, and we're busy to death every day."
Wu Xiufang also joined in criticizing Xu Qingning, "Anyway, I don't care. I'll go and bring my mother-in-law back in a couple of days. She's not her only mother-in-law. Why does she have the right to order her around?"
“She was spoiled by my parents when she was at her parents’ home, so you sisters-in-law should be more understanding.” Tang Wenya did not join in criticizing Xu Qingning, but instead comforted Wu Xiufang and Zhou Chunyan, “If she did anything wrong, as her older sister, I will apologize to you two sisters-in-law on her behalf.”
"If only she were as understanding as you," the two sisters-in-law sighed in unison.
Xiao Tingshen fell asleep as soon as he lay down at night. He was exhausted after traveling for most of the day.
Tang Wenya was somewhat disappointed that there was no tenderness or intimacy as she had expected.
But the thought that she would soon be able to return to the city immediately cheered her up.
When she gets back, she will definitely study hard, get into university, and live a prosperous life, making Xu Qingning envious and jealous of her.
One day, Xu Qingning will understand that the supporting actress may have the upper hand for a while, but the female lead will always be the female lead, and the female lead's halo cannot be overshadowed by a supporting actress like her.
The next morning, Yang Yuexiang packed up and went home without eating breakfast.
Last night, both Zhao Jingyue and Xu Qingning told her to leave, so she felt embarrassed to stay any longer.
It must be said that Yang Yuexiang was quite capable. She found out that the son of the old lady next door, Wang Cuifen, was out running errands and happened to be passing by their house, so she asked the son to take her back.
Otherwise, she would have had to flag down a car on the roadside.
Wu Huihui packed her belongings and moved to her workplace. She left with a dark face, as if someone owed her money. Her gaze towards Zhao Jingyu was full of reluctance, and she was even hoping that Zhao Jingyu would ask her to stay.
But Zhao Jingyu didn't even look at her; his face was so cold it was almost frozen.
Once the mother and daughter left, the house became quiet again.
After breakfast, Yang Yuelan busied herself tidying up her room, preparing to build a kang (heated brick bed). It was all moving and lifting work, so Yang Yuelan called Zhao Jingyu over to help, and Xu Qingning didn't need to help.
The mother and son spent the whole morning clearing out the room where Yang Yuelan was staying, leaving only a bed, waiting for Chen Baichuan to come so they could move the bed out.
With nothing to do, Xu Qingning spent the whole morning drawing blueprints. She counted and found that she had drawn more than a hundred designs over the past few days, including spring and autumn styles, summer styles, and winter styles.
In a few days, she would go to the department store again to ask Liu Caixia if she wanted these new designs. If she did, the summer styles would be sold to her at the same price as last time, while the spring/autumn and winter styles would have to be priced higher.
In fact, this year is the first year of reform and opening up. The individual economy has already begun to take shape, but it will take some time to truly be implemented at the local level, at least until next year.
If you calculate it that way, after giving birth, she can go out and start her own business, which will earn her more than working a regular job.
Right now, she's selling some design drafts, just testing the waters.
Although Zhao Jingyu's salary is enough to support her and her child, she needs to have her own plans, and of course, the more money the better.
After finishing the drawing, her neck was a little sore, so she leaned out the window and looked at the mother and son who were busy in the yard.
Yang Yuelan was washing a mop at the tap, chatting and laughing with Wang Cuifen.
Since her mother-in-law arrived, she has been doing endless chores every day and never goes out to chat. She doesn't know as many people as Yang Yuexiang does.
Zhao Jingyu sat in the courtyard organizing the green iron crates that had been carried out. Inside were some notebooks and books, which he had probably brought back from the west.
The green tin box was printed with the words "Northern Xinjiang Farm". He held a stack of colorful postcards, looking at them repeatedly, reluctant to put them down.
Xu Qingning didn't disturb him. She put away the pattern, found a few scraps of fabric left over from making clothes last time, cut them with scissors, and planned to make a few simple little dolls as decorations so that the children could play with them in the future.
She really enjoys doing this kind of handicraft work.
After cutting the fabric, she took it to the yard, sat down at the sewing machine, and prepared to sew. Zhao Jingyu put down his book and walked over curiously: "You can sew?"
“Of course, I can also make clothes!” Xu Qingning held up a piece of fabric and placed it under the presser foot of the sewing machine with great skill. “I’m going to make a few dolls to put in my room.”
"Then give me one, and I'll take it to the ship." Zhao Jingyu picked up the fabric with interest and looked at it, then whispered, "These are too small. Make me a bigger one so I can hold it to sleep at night." Just like holding her.
"You're a grown man, sleeping with a plush toy at night?" Xu Qingning looked up and glared at him, but then, remembering that he was leaving tomorrow, she agreed, "Okay, I'll make you a new one when I get back to my room."
As the two were talking, Yang Yuelan saw them, put down the mop and came over: "Leave this little job to me, don't touch these eye-straining tasks."
"Mom, I'm just doing this for fun." Xu Qingning felt that this little task wouldn't tire her out, and she could manage.
"You don't need to do that, I'll make it for you." Yang Yuelan insisted that she go back to her room to rest. "I can do it, I'll do it."
"Mom tells you to go back to your room, so go back to your room." Zhao Jingyu helped her up and quickly whispered in her ear, "Go back to your room and cook for me."
Once inside, Xu Qingning asked him, "Do you like caterpillars?"
If he wanted to hug someone to sleep, the bed would be about a meter long.
The remaining scraps of fabric included red, white, and a piece of green. These colors were perfect for making a caterpillar doll.
Zhao Jingyu was drinking water from a ceramic jar when he heard her say that, and he almost choked: "You want me to sleep with a caterpillar?"
He just wanted to remember the person by looking at the objects.
She made a caterpillar for him; how could she be so clueless about romance?
"Didn't you want a bigger one?" Xu Qingning was a little speechless. After thinking for a moment, she said, "How about I make you a longer pillow? You can use it as a pillow or hug it to sleep. You're such a grown-up, it's not quite right for you to hug a plush toy."
