Chapter 448: Buying Gifts

"I'll take you home. Just have a good sleep and don't have nightmares." Dai Qing chuckled. A girl with an innocent personality really needs to be protected.

When Juanzi heard this, her head shook like a wave drum. "I won't go home. I'll sleep with you tonight. If I can't sleep, we can still talk about your glorious deeds."

Xiaoqing must have had a lot of interesting things happen to her during her absence. She didn't have the chance to see them with her own eyes, but she could at least hear about them, right?

Seeing her gossipy eyes, Dai Qing shook her head. She didn't know how dangerous the world was. She was talking about the person in front of her.

"Aren't you afraid that Aunt Zhang will arrest you and take you back?"

"Tsk, if my mom knew I was at your house, she would be so relieved."

Juanzi said this while holding Dai Qing's arm tightly. When passing by her home, she didn't even glance at her and just pulled her away.

After washing up, the two lay on the bed. Juanzi lay on the pillow, staring at her with full energy.

"Tell me quickly, what have you been doing in the capital recently?"

Looking at Juanzi's sparkling eyes, Dai Qing twitched her lips. She was indeed very busy during the few months she spent in the capital.

Not only did he buy a house and get into a fight, he also indirectly ruined a company.

Thinking of this, Dai Qing suddenly realized that it seemed quite dangerous to follow her.

"Well, something did happen. I bought a yard in the capital while I had some money. Next time I go to the capital, I'll take you there to see it."

Let’s not talk about fighting with others or ruining the company. It’s safer to deal with the house.

Who would have thought that when Juanzi heard that she had bought a yard in the capital, she sat up suddenly and stared at her in shock.

"What? You actually bought a yard in the capital. How did you do it?"

Oh my God, in the blink of an eye, her good sister has settled down and bought a house in another place?

After being shocked, Juanzi immediately grabbed Dai Qing's shoulders.

"So are you going to settle down in the capital and not come back?"

Old lady, this is not true.

Hearing Juanzi's anxious tone, Dai Qing looked at her in surprise. She didn't expect that this person's focus would be here?

Dai Qing sat up and leaned against the head of the bed.

"How could I not come back? This is my hometown after all. I guess I'll be traveling back and forth in the future, living wherever I want."

"That's good, that's good. I'm so scared. If you choose to settle in the capital, I won't even have anyone to talk to in the future."

Seeing her exaggeration, Dai Qing laughed, "How is that possible? You are going to get married and have children in the future. You and Ding Yong have such a good relationship, how could you be lonely?"

Looking at Juanzi's round face, Dai Qing couldn't help pinching it. This person's luck is still good.

"How can they be the same? You are my best friend, the kind I can talk to about anything. You are different from men, and I can tell the difference."

There were some things she didn't want to tell Ding Yong, but she could confide in Dai Qing.

It's not that I'm hiding it on purpose. I just feel like I can talk to Dai Qing without any scruples.

The two of them started talking and chatted until one in the morning before falling into a drowsy sleep.

The next day, when Dai Qing opened her eyes, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Seeing Juanzi still sleeping soundly, Dai Qing got up quietly, washed, and started preparing lunch.

As usual, I steamed two bowls of bird's nests and added rice.

For lunch, grill a fish and stir-fry some green vegetables.

When the last green vegetable was out of the pot, Juanzi came out yawning.

"It's so late, why didn't you call me?"

"You have to work the afternoon shift. You'll be more energetic if you get more sleep." She didn't have to work anyway, so she had plenty of time.

"Oh, I really envy you." Unfortunately, she didn't have her sisters' abilities, so she could only resign herself to her fate and go to work to earn some hard-earned money to support her family.

After washing up, Juanzi saw a bowl of bird's nest placed in front of her. She held her chin with both hands and sighed.

"If you were a man I would definitely marry you. It's such a blessing to be with you."

Dai Qing just drank a mouthful of bird's nest and almost spit it out. She glared at her.

"You are so useless that you were captured by a bowl of bird's nest. If Ding Yong heard this, he would definitely bang his head against the wall."

"Hehe...don't tell him."

Juanzi took a sip and smiled.

"Your conditions are really good. If you open up and look for a partner, you will break down the door."

Unfortunately, her best friend is not interested in marriage, otherwise, based on her qualifications, she would definitely be a good match for a high-ranking official's son.

Seeing Juanzi's pitying look, Dai Qing glared at her.

"Everyone pursues different things. What I want is freedom, without any constraints. It's so comfortable to be alone without any worries."

"That's true. I understand you, but my mom said that when you are young, everything is fine, but when you are older, it will be lonely without anyone around, especially if you are sick or something."

Although she also thinks Dai Qing is a role model for women of the new era, she is bold in thinking, brave in trying new things, and independent and confident.

But getting older is a real problem.

She is a traditional woman and cannot imagine Xiaoqing's inner obsession.

Dai Qing didn't care at all about life in old age.

"I have been living a carefree life for decades, and I have accepted the sufferings I have to endure in my old age. After all, sugarcane cannot have the best of both worlds, so I can't be too greedy, right?"

"But……"

"Don't say but. Isn't the food I cook delicious?" Dai Qing picked up a piece of fish for her and teased.

Juanzi blushed, "Oh, your cooking is the best. I don't even want to leave."

Forget it, it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t get married. At worst, when she gets married and has a baby, no matter it’s a boy or a girl, Xiaoqing will be the godmother and take care of her in her old age, so she won’t be lonely in her old age.

After eating and drinking her fill and chewing an apple, Juanzi went home.

"I'll come see you after I get off night shift."

"Oh, don't forget my reminder to let Ding Yong learn a skill. It doesn't matter what it is, just learn something you like."

Dai Qing looked at her cheerful expression and reminded her again.

The canned food market will gradually decline in the future, and they will inevitably be unable to escape the trend of layoffs. While the current benefits are still good, they should take the time to learn something in case of emergency.

Dai Qing took a book, sat under the grape trellis, read for a while, dozed off for a while, and then sat up.

I rode my bike to the small commodity city and took advantage of my free time to pick out a gift.

There are many kinds of small commodities in the small commodity city. Dai Qing went directly to the handicraft area. There were not too many people here.

Dai Qing strolled around, visiting each house and looking at all kinds of furnishings. Finally, she stopped at a studio and was attracted by an oil painting on the wall, which showed a large field of sunflowers.

Although she doesn't understand this art, she feels good just watching it.

The shopkeeper followed her gaze and introduced it enthusiastically, "Little sister, do you like this painting?"

"Well, it looks good."

"Sunflowers are the soul flowers in the paintings of many masters. They symbolize the love of life and the longing for future life. Even if you don't understand them, it is still a visual enjoyment."

The shop owner looked fascinated as he introduced the product.
