Chapter 9
Two little rabbits were kept in the corner on the left side of the yard, fenced with wooden boards. When they were first released, the rabbits were unfamiliar with the environment and huddled together in fear.
He didn't dare to resist when Chu Qi pulled his ears and played with him, and his legs hung limply.
Pumpkin seedlings are planted next to the rabbit hive; water melon seedlings are planted under the peach tree. When the vines grow out, they can hang on the tree to bloom and bear fruit.
With pets, livestock, and vegetables, Chen Yuanyuan looked around the lively yard with satisfaction, but she always felt that something was missing...
Until Chu Qi said, "Do you want to plant some flowers in the yard?"
Chen Yuanyuan was stunned: "Huh? Planting flowers?"
"Next spring, a row of flowers will bloom here. It will be so beautiful." Chu Qi pointed to the wall on the right. There was nothing there except withered weeds.
Chen Yuanyuan imagined the scene and seemed to smell the fragrance of flowers. She said happily, "Okay."
In addition, the bed for the two of them was left for the original owner by his parents. It was not very spacious for two people to sleep on, and it was inconvenient to stretch their arms and legs.
Also, the utility room leaks when it rains heavily.
…
Chu Qi worked hard for more than a month, and earned more than 100 yuan by designing and making clothes and selling them.
I spent twenty yuan to ask a carpenter to build a new bed, which was two meters long and one meter eighty wide, and placed it neatly at the innermost part of the room. I spent another fifteen yuan to ask the carpenter to build a wardrobe and placed it at the end of the bed.
The doors and windows are a bit worn out, so I just spent money to replace them; adding anti-theft nets to the windows makes them safer, and installing curtains inside can block out light and protect privacy.
As time passed, the walls faded and the floor was damaged, so Chu Qi bought some materials and repaired it himself.
After the repairs were completed, Chu Qi and Chen Yuanyuan discussed it and decided to paint the walls in their favorite colors, which made the house look much more pleasing to the eye.
After the house was repaired, the dining table and stools were sold to the second-hand market and new ones were bought; the kitchen was also renovated, and it is beautiful, elegant and clean.
It took about three months to complete all this work.
Before we knew it, autumn had passed and time had entered winter.
The little rabbit grew into a big rabbit, and the dog Xiao Hei grew into Da Hei.
The watermelons had withered and the yard was full of pumpkins, which Chen Yuanyuan had collected in the utility room.
Editor-in-Chief Jin of the publishing house where Chu Qi worked admired Chu Qi's ability to do things and promoted her to be an editor. On a daily basis, she is responsible for reviewing whether the novels sent by authors can be signed for publication, and for mentoring newcomers. Her work became much easier, and she also had a basic salary.
With a base salary of 20 yuan plus miscellaneous bonuses, I can earn 25 to 30 yuan a month.
Chu Qi's clothing design work is entering the final stage. Her popularity in the area is increasing, and her service targets are gradually shifting to high-income groups. A set of clothing costs 20 yuan, and is limited to three sets per month.
The combination of limited sales, stunning design techniques, and extremely high popularity has led to an influx of customers making reservations, with orders so exaggerated that the waiting line stretches out to five years later.
This is still the case when there is intentional control. If it is not controlled, the appointment may be made ten years later.
Chu Qi is not short of money now, so she hired someone to help make clothes and she was only responsible for the design.
The design industry was booming, and Chu Qi did not quit her job at the publishing house.
In case the design inspiration runs out, at least the publishing house can make a living.
Chu Qi always leaves herself a way out.
As the end of the year approaches, Chu Qi is able to take a vacation.
She had a lot of free time and spent a lot of time with Chen Yuanyuan on weekdays.
During the annual leave, the couple stayed at home all day and spent their days leisurely.
Once a person has money, his relatives become more enthusiastic towards him.
Originally, because the original owner's parents had both passed away, those relatives loved to make fun of the original owner when she visited relatives during the New Year.
When it was Chu Qi's turn, the relatives served her tea and asked her in a roundabout way how much she earned and whether she had any good jobs to recommend to the younger generation...
Chu Qi was just doing her routine work. Since she was in good health, she had to take care of the superficial relationship so that there would be someone to help when she visited her parents' grave.
So no matter what others asked her, she would just nod with a smile, and she actually had some work to introduce.
Recently there is a construction team that is short of people...
Need someone to move bricks.
Although the job was tiring, the salary was decent, so the relative who asked the question gritted his teeth and let the younger generation take it.
It's just a little part of life.
After visiting relatives on her parents' side before the New Year, Chu Qi's affairs came to an end.
On New Year's Eve, Chu Qi and Chen Yuanyuan cooked a large table of dishes. They only ate a small portion of them and packed the rest into boxes.
The couple rode their newly bought tricycle and went from street to street delivering vegetables to the elderly and disabled people in the slums.
…
Old man Yang Jialin is a lonely old man.
His son died in the war, and his daughter was abducted by human traffickers and her whereabouts remain unknown.
The daughter-in-law had difficulty giving birth and passed away with the baby in her belly.
His wife died of illness ten years ago.
The sixty-year-old old man Yang has a head full of white hair and looks haggard, just like a man in his seventies or eighties.
He usually makes a living by picking up garbage, and the government also gives him a subsidy every month.
His life was very lonely. He wasn't hungry, but he couldn't eat well either.
On New Year's Eve this year, Old Man Yang had a simple lunch as usual and sat at the door in a daze.
Occasionally someone would pass by, but no one would stop for him.
"Another year older..."
Old man Yang smiled bitterly.
From a distance, a young man on a tricycle was coming towards this side.
Sitting behind the tricycle was a beautiful and petite woman.
The woman wore fresh and sweet light makeup, lipstick on her lips, and a fashionable and beautiful winter dress. Her long hair was loose and she wore a bunny-shaped hairpin on her head. She looked smart and beautiful.
Chu Qi parked the car and went to the back to pick up Chen Yuanyuan.
Chen Yuanyuan blushed: "I can come down by myself..."
"It's inconvenient for you to wear a skirt, it's okay." Chu Qi smiled and carried Chen Yuanyuan down. She was not in a hurry to let go, but instead pinched Chen Yuanyuan's waist.
My wife is so soft and smells so good~
It feels good to hold.
Chu Qi had a gentle smile on her face, without revealing her thoughts at all.
Chen Yuanyuan, who didn't know her husband's true thoughts, pushed Chu Qi. After Chu Qi let her go, she walked towards the old man with the lunch box.
Old man Yang was in a daze when he suddenly felt a shadow in front of him. He came to his senses and looked up.
A little girl smiled at him and said, "Happy New Year's Eve, old man."
Old Man Yang was stunned: "Oh, oh, happy New Year's Eve!"
"My husband and I accidentally cooked too much food. We weren't able to finish it and we were afraid it would be wasted, so we packed up the clean, untouched vegetables and planned to give them to others. I wonder if you would like to eat them?" Chen Yuanyuan smiled and handed the lunch box forward.
"Yes, yes!" Old man Yang reacted, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face, he quickly stood up and took the lunch box with both hands, then touched his trouser pocket with trembling hands, "The old man will give you red envelopes, wishing you a prosperous New Year...
