Chapter 213 Family Influence
Jian Qingyi turned her head.
Meeting Jian Liqiu's gentle eyes, Jian Qingyi smiled with her peach blossom eyes.
"Second sister! Are you off today?" She put down the bird's nest and greeted her with a smile.
"I asked for leave." Jian Liqiu couldn't help blushing.
Only then did Jian Qingyi realize that there was a man in olive green standing behind Jian Liqiu.
The man has a tall and straight figure and an outstanding appearance.
"This is..." Jian Qingyi guessed the man's identity, but did not rush to make a judgment.
"He is Ji Lei, and this is my younger sister, Jian Qingyi. You can just call her Yi Yi." Jian Liqiu introduced the two with a blushing face.
"Should I call you second brother-in-law?" Jian Qingyi's eyes inadvertently swept across the red marks on Jian Liqiu's neck, and she joked with a smile.
They are an engaged couple who are in the process of registering their marriage, so some intimate behavior is understandable.
Jian Qingyi naturally wouldn't say anything more.
"Yi Yi..." Jian Liqiu glared at her with a red face.
"Second sister, Brother Ji, please sit inside!" Jian Qingyi smiled and took Jian Liqiu's arm and led her to the rest area.
Ji Lei followed the two of them carrying his things, feeling somewhat nervous.
As soon as they sat down, Sun Xiaocao brought out tea.
"Sister Li Qiu!" She greeted with a smile.
"Xiaocao, why are you here?" Jian Liqiu widened her eyes in shock.
In her memory, Sun Xiaocao was still a little kid, but she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, she has grown into a big girl.
"I'm here to help Sister Yi Yi sell clothes." Sun Xiaocao smiled sweetly.
Ever since she became a salesperson in Jian Qingyi's clothing store, Sun Xiaocao has grown rapidly.
When Sun Qiang learned that he could earn an extra ten yuan a month by working as a salesperson in Beijing, he nodded and agreed without even thinking.
When the families of Ren Lingling and others heard that they could earn 60 yuan a month in Beijing, they all agreed wholeheartedly.
In the south city, a temporary worker's monthly salary is no more than 30 yuan, but in Beijing, he can earn 60 yuan a month. Anyone who is not a fool can do the math.
"Sister Li Qiu, please sit down. I'll go and get busy first." Seeing a guest coming in, Sun Xiaocao hurriedly said this and ran to greet the guest.
Worried that the bird's nest would get cold, Aunt Wang brought over the fruit plate and bird's nest.
"Second sister, this is Aunt Wang. Let me tell you, Aunt Wang's cooking is delicious. Your brother-in-law, the political commissar, was raised by Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang, this is my second sister, you can just call her Li Qiu, and this is my future brother-in-law, Ji Lei." Jian Qingyi introduced everyone.
"Auntie Wang!" Jian Liqiu curved her lips and called softly.
"Auntie Wang!" Ji Lei also called out respectfully.
"Hey! Hey!" Aunt Wang responded with a smile.
Knowing that Aunt Wang would not leave until she finished eating the bird's nest, Jian Qingyi picked up the bird's nest and swallowed it in a few bites.
"I'm done eating!" She didn't want to show the empty compartment to Wang Ma.
Mother Wang gave her an unpleasant look.
After pouring the cut fruits into the fruit bowl and inserting toothpicks, Aunt Wang left contentedly with the two thermoses.
"Second sister, Big Brother Ji, you guys eat." Jian Qingyi smiled and pushed the fruit plate in front of them.
The fruit plate that Wang Ma brought was enough for Jian Qingyi alone, and it looked a little small. Jian Qingyi went to the tea room at the back to cut the watermelon and wash the grapes that sisters Lu Xingyue and Lu Xingning brought.
"Yi Yi, your business is good!" Jian Liqiu was a little worried at first, but now seeing the constant flow of customers, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's okay!" Jian Qingyi glanced at the bustling customers in the store.
The two sisters chatted intermittently.
Ji Lei sat upright the whole time.
Jian Qingyi felt tired just looking at it.
When talking about their marriage, the blush on Jian Liqiu's cheeks that had finally faded away came back again.
"The marriage report hasn't come out yet!" She lowered her head and twisted her fingers, too embarrassed to look up.
"Sister Li Qiu is getting married too?" Sun Xiaocao, who came to add water for the few people, exclaimed.
"Yes! Wait until your sister Li Qiu gets married, and ask her to introduce you to a partner." Jian Qingyi teased her.
Sun Xiaocao's face suddenly turned red.
After a long while, he finally uttered, "I'm not looking for a partner!"
"Not looking for a partner?" Jian Qingyi was amused by her childish words. "If you don't find a partner, are you going to be an old maid?"
"As long as I can make money, I'll be an old maid." Sun Xiaocao said seriously.
"Silly girl! Making money and finding a partner are not in conflict. Who told you that you can't make money if you are looking for a partner?" The smile on Jian Qingyi's face gradually disappeared.
There's nothing wrong with being single for a lifetime, but when it comes from a teenager, Jian Qingyi always feels a little uncomfortable.
Suddenly I thought of Sun Xiaocao's father who not only loved drinking but also loved beating his wife...
Jian Qingyi sighed secretly.
Parents have a profound and lasting influence on their children.
If Sun Qiang knew that his bad behavior had such a bad influence on his daughter, he would wonder if he would regret it.
"But I want to earn my own money and spend it myself." Sun Xiaocao curled her lips.
Jian Qingyi: "..."
Makes sense!
Another guest came in. Sun Xiaocao put down the thermos and trotted to greet the guest.
"Second sister, it's boring to stay here. Now that we're out, let's go out for a walk and have dinner before going back." Jian Qingyi stood up.
"No need! We'll go back soon." Jian Liqiu was afraid of delaying Jian Qingyi's business.
"Why go back? I know you don't want to go to the Lu family. I'll call my dad later and we'll go to his place for dinner. Aunt Li's cooking is delicious too." Jian Qingyi smiled and picked up the phone beside her.
The call was picked up within seconds of being dialed.
"Hello……"
"Dad, my second sister, second brother-in-law and I are going to your house for dinner later. Please ask Aunt Li to cook a few more dishes." Jian Qingyi went straight to the point.
"Yi Yi, what do you want to eat? I'll ask Aunt Li to buy it now." Jian Zhongliang's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Boiled beef, Kung Pao chicken, braised prawns, garlic spare ribs, fried yam with black fungus, garlic lettuce, glutinous rice balls, tomato and soft-shelled turtle, pigeon soup, and a smashed cucumber. Remember to ask Aunt Li to put some in the smashed cucumber..." Jian Qingyi was not polite at all.
"Peanuts." Jian Zhongliang on the other end of the phone said first.
"Smart! You can answer quickly." Jian Qingyi chuckled.
"Stop talking nonsense. When are you coming over?" Jian Zhongliang scolded with a smile.
"We'll go shopping for a while and then go over. Is there anything you need at home? If so, we can bring it over on the way." Jian Qingyi said with a smile.
"We have everything at home, so don't waste your money. Even though you haven't had your wedding banquet yet, you've already got your marriage certificate, so you'll have plenty of places to spend money in the future..."
The person on the other end of the phone started chattering again.
When Lu Yujing came in, he saw his young wife standing next to the phone with her beautiful willow-shaped eyebrows slightly furrowed.
He walked over quickly.
When Jian Liqiu and Ji Lei saw Lu Yujing coming, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Lu Yujing nodded slightly, as a sign of agreement.
"Who are you calling?" He held his young wife's hand very naturally.
