Chapter 246: Sons and Daughters, the End of Hardships
246 The joys of having both sons and daughters come after all the hardships
Have a good night.
The next day, Shen Yiyi slept straight away.
When I woke up, Qin Lie and his two sons were gone, and I could hear the voices of Hengheng and Fantuan outside.
Shen Yiyi was lazy for a while and then got up.
Mother Qin was chatting with Aunt Du. When she saw her daughter-in-law coming out, she said, "Yi Yi, breakfast is in the pot."
"good."
"Mom!" Hengheng and Fantuan both called out when they saw their mom.
Shen Yiyi came over and kissed them, asking them to continue playing. Then she smiled and said to Aunt Du, "Aunt Du looks younger this year than last year."
Mother Qin took over the conversation, "Your Aunt Du is in high spirits this year because of all the good things that happened to her. Du Tao has become a key member and has been given a house, and Du Jiang's business is booming. How can she not be young?"
Auntie Du was both happy and angry, "Please stop praising me. But I'm still wondering, why did Ningning come back with Qin Lie first? Where are his parents?"
No one in my hometown knows about Qin Feng and Jiang Xiangyi's affair yet. The border is so far away and there's no one else there.
Because the matter was too embarrassing, Qin's mother couldn't say anything, she just said: "You don't know how angry the boss was with me. You didn't want to do this good job. I heard that there was economic construction in the south. Guess what happened? You actually threw away the iron rice bowl in your hand and ran to the south to start a business!"
Aunt Du just found out about this and was stunned. "Ah? Why are you so impulsive? Qin Feng's job pays about a hundred yuan a month, right? Why would you just give up such a good job?"
"That's what I said."
"Why don't you hold on?"
"Stop? I would like to stop him, but how can I? He had already resigned when I found out. He brought Ningning to the camp and asked me to help take care of the couple for a while before heading south. You don't know how angry I was. To me, they are crazy." Qin's mother scolded.
Although I have thousands of opinions in my mind, I still have to save face for the boss in front of my neighbors.
Going south on your own impulse and being dragged out are two different things.
Aunt Du and Qin's mother got along very well. "Since you've resigned, don't be angry. The south is pretty good. My nephew from my mother's side came to see me a few days ago. He followed his friend to the south this year and did very well. He made a lot of money with the commissions, not to mention his friend, who has made so much money that he wears gold and silver. He also told me in secret that his friend has several mistresses outside, and his wife at home doesn't even know!"
"I heard from Qin Feng that the south is pretty good." Qin's mother agreed.
"Your Qin Feng's ability is beyond doubt. He was well-known in our area back then as an excellent person. Such an excellent person can be anywhere. You don't need to worry about anyone else. Just wait and enjoy yourself."
Mother Qin smiled and said, "You are still enjoying yourself. It's good that you don't get angry with me. I envy you. You don't have to worry about anything now. Especially Du Jiang, he is so filial to you."
"He gives me twenty yuan every month, just for me, so I can keep it as pocket money." Aunt Du said in a low voice with a smile.
She wouldn't tell most people because she was afraid that they would come to borrow money, but Qin's mother could tell them.
Qin's father had a high salary, so he didn't need to borrow money from her. Besides, Qin's mother was very tight-lipped, so she was never afraid that the secrets she told her would be leaked.
Of course, Aunt Du couldn't help but want to share, and was obviously very happy.
"I think Du Jiang has been filial since he was young and he is also capable. Now that his wholesale business is doing so well, he is unwilling to move away. He is even willing to spend money to buy an old house with his brother to live here with you. Why? Isn't it because he is afraid that you will move out and become unfamiliar with other old neighbors and won't even have anyone to talk to." Qin's mother said.
"You know what, if I move out, I really won't be used to it..."
"Tell me what happened when Du Jiang saved the grandson of the old Xu family last time? Was the beggar caught in the end?"
“…”
The two of them changed the topic.
Shen Yiyi had already washed up and was having breakfast in the kitchen.
Naturally, I heard the conversation between my mother-in-law and Aunt Du outside.
But she also understood that her mother-in-law couldn't bring herself to tell the truth.
Besides, we live for our own sake, so we can't expose all our past secrets, right? It's unnecessary.
After eating, I came out to accompany my two sons.
"Yi Yi, I heard from Du Jiang that you will come over to take pictures for us at noon?" Aunt Du said with a smile.
"Yes, Boss Du wants to take some more handsome photos while he's still young, how can I not help him?"
Auntie Du smiled and said, "The photos you took last year were really good, better than those taken at the photo studio!"
This is really not an exaggeration.
The photos taken last year were mailed back to them, and Qin's father also sent them to them. They were all very satisfied with them, saying that they were taken very well and there was nothing to complain about.
"Of course I am a professional photographer." Shen Yiyi smiled.
As they were chatting, Qin Lie came back with two wooden boxes of frozen fish and shrimps.
Zhou Xin came over in the morning. Zhou Xin is Lin Dazhi's cousin, who works in the black market street.
A batch of new goods arrived at the black market street at midnight yesterday, and he came here this morning to ask if he wanted to buy some.
Qin Lie went over to take a look after breakfast.
There are three kinds of frozen hairtail, Spanish mackerel, and yellow croaker, and the rest are shrimps. They are all frozen, but they are all very fresh.
Shrimp and kelp are also indispensable.
In addition to these seafood, our family also has fish caught from the reservoir.
Lin Dazhi brought it and put it in a sack, so there had to be fish on the table for every meal, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to finish it.
Aunt Du is rich now. When she saw Qin Lie bought so many good things, she asked where he bought them. She also wanted to buy some to eat during the New Year!
"It's the shop on the black market street. Auntie, if you want to buy something, please go there quickly. There are too many people there. If you go too late, you probably won't be able to buy anything." Qin Lie said.
This kind of seafood is still very popular here.
Besides, it’s Chinese New Year, and everyone’s conditions have improved a lot now, so everyone wants to prepare some delicious dishes for the New Year.
"Then I won't sit down."
"Go ahead, go ahead. Go slowly. It's freezing and snowy."
Aunt Du left.
Qin Lie also put all the things in the yard. Shen Yiyi came over to take a look and said, "Pick out some of them. You can also pack some of the frozen fish and send them to Second Sister for the New Year."
"There's no need for frozen fish. Just pick some sea fish. Dazhi also sent a sack of fish to Yaozu before." Qin's mother said.
Shen Yiyi laughed when she heard that.
No wonder Lin Dazhi has so many friends outside, he is just a very good person.
After asking Qin Lie to deliver sea fish and shrimps to Old Su's house, she asked her mother-in-law, "Mom, is Tang Xue's second child a boy or a girl?"
"It's a daughter." Qin's mother said with a smile.
"Daughter? This is amazing. We have both a son and a daughter." Shen Yiyi said when she heard this.
Mother Qin nodded. "Yes, now that both her son and daughter are alive, this girl has finally gotten what she deserves after all the hardships she's endured. She can finally live a good life."
