229. Chapter 229 pleasing to the eye



"I don't want you to spend money. If you come to the city with me, I will make noodles for you every day."

"I appreciate your kindness." The old lady smiled kindly. "When will you return to the city?"

"Leave before the end of the lunar month." Ying Sisi wasn't in a hurry; she was still preparing to dig Polygonum multiflorum to make a hair growth paste. But Qin Yanci seemed very concerned about the time of his return, and he seemed to be more unusually busy during the first few days of the month.

She was worried that if she left late she would upset him.

She didn't want to upset him.

The old lady turned the calendar.

Ying Sisi: "Can't you see it?"

The old lady laughed foolishly: "Today is only the 19th, there are only ten days left until the end of the month, it's still early. But the end of the month is next to Qingming Festival, and we are going to say goodbye to the banquet. Can you accommodate Sisi and let her stay here? There will be no need to worship the ancestors at home, right?"

"You don't need me." Qin Yanci said.

The old lady forgot to switch to Mandarin and asked curiously, "Do you understand the dialect?"

"Your accent is different from the local one. If you listen carefully, you can understand the general meaning." Qin Yanci said.

The old lady praised him for his intelligence and talent for languages.

"Thank you for the compliment." Qin Yanci said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

After dinner.

The old lady asked Ying Sisi to go to the back mountain to dig spring bamboo shoots.

After Ying Sisi finished digging, she searched everywhere for Polygonum multiflorum, recognized its dead leaves, and started digging along the branches.

The slender oval fruits were quickly dug out.

One isn't enough?

In the small farmyard, Qin Yanci took the initiative to take care of the housework. The old lady nodded in appreciation and followed him to ask, "How many brothers do you have? What do your parents do?" He was well-spoken and a college student, so his family conditions must be good.

Besides, Li Junlu would not do anything without profit, and this marriage with Si Si would definitely help him to further develop his career.

I don’t know how Shen Yutian will deal with Li Junlu.

"I have an older brother, my father is in charge of the eastern district of Yanjing, and my mother is the director of a highway management unit." Qin Yanci answered every question.

The old lady said with satisfaction, "That sounds quite impressive." She paused and said, "How does Sisi's father compare to your father?"

"It's not easy to compare." Qin Yanci added, "You don't have to worry about Si Si being wronged in our family."

The old lady raised her eyebrows, it was easy to talk to smart people.

As soon as she mentioned it, he understood her intention.

Ying Sisi returned carrying a basket of bamboo shoots and two large Polygonum multiflorum flowers in her hands.

The old lady took a look and said, "Sisi, what are you holding in your hand? It's pitch black."

"He Shou Wu, it's said that this can help hair growth. I plan to make it into a hair growth cream and sell it in the city."

The old lady pulled Ying Sisi to a place where they could talk more conveniently. "The Yanci family is so well-off, why are you still doing business? The right thing to do is to ask them to find you a private tutor to teach you how to read and write."

Ying Sisi: "I'm reading now, and I've learned a lot of characters. Ah Ci also gave me a suggestion: once I know all the common characters, I can ask my father-in-law to help me get a driver's license and get a job in a transportation company."

By then, it will be more convenient to familiarize yourself with buying and selling matters by running around the city for transportation.

The old lady was relieved and said with a smile: "You have a really good partner."

"You said earlier that he was very violent."

"He's certainly aggressive, but that's also a protective veneer." The old lady's impression of Qin Yanci improved, and even his shortcomings became strengths. She found him even more pleasing to the eye. "You're lucky. Li Junlu didn't leave such a person to his daughter. Does his daughter have a partner?"

"Yes." Ying Sisi mentioned Li Yuwei and started talking, saying bad things about her for a long time.

Until Qin Yanci reminded her: "Wife, it's getting late, do you want to rest?"
