Chapter 31 Qin Lie Can't Come Back
31 Qin Lie Can't Come Back
After lunch, it’s time for a nap.
After lunch break, I start working again, and I don’t rest until I come home in the evening to have dinner and cook two or three pots of tea leaf eggs to sell tomorrow.
Shen Yiyi recorded today's accounts and began to summarize.
Almost twenty days have passed since we started selling tea leaf eggs.
Except for the first one or two days, the sales volume of Shen Yiyi's tea leaf eggs has remained high.
Especially in the past two days, there have been two more people coming in for wholesale.
Li Dahua is okay, she only sells five or ten kilograms, but Zhong Bing is really awesome. With his sales power, he will have to increase the shipment volume in the future.
Shen Yiyi summed up the profits of the past twenty days and made a net profit of nearly four hundred and fifty yuan. This was undoubtedly a lot because it was less than a month. If it was a full month, the profit would be estimated at more than six hundred to nearly seven hundred yuan.
In an environment where the monthly salary is 30 or 40 yuan, what does it mean to be able to earn 700 yuan a month?
I’m just starting out now, but if I keep working hard, I’ll be able to earn nearly 10,000 yuan a year!
However, Shen Yiyi also started thinking about another problem. She planned to rent a yard outside to use as a workshop.
In fact, both Qin's father and mother are people who prefer quietness, and Shen Yiyi doesn't want to disturb them all the time.
Because there will definitely be more and more people coming to buy goods in the future.
With so many people coming and going, it’s better to find a place to set up a small workshop to make tea eggs!
Shen Yiyi had made up her mind and couldn't help yawning. She was really tired after a busy day, so she went to sleep.
Tang Xue next door was the same. Although she didn't have to go out, she didn't have an easy time at home. She finished all the work for the day and almost fell asleep on the bed.
However, Qin's father and mother were not asleep and were still chatting.
Finally, Father Qin said, "Call the third child tomorrow to find out when he will be back."
Mother Qin nodded, "I understand, go to sleep."
Because she was worried about her son coming back to give them a grandson, Qin's mother came to the grocery store the next day and called the troops.
"Qin Lie, you're here at the right time. Your mother called." This voice came from the other end of the phone.
Hearing her son's name, Qin's mother was of course happy.
"Mom." Qin Lie took over quickly.
"Old Third, when will you come back? We are all waiting for you!"
Qin Lie's deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mom, I have an urgent mission here. I just came here to call you. I won't be back for the time being."
Mother Qin was stunned: "What? You're not coming back?"
Qin Lie obviously felt a little guilty, "Yes, it's very urgent, there's no way to go back."
"Yiyi is still waiting for you!"
"Say sorry to my wife. I will definitely go back after completing this mission!" Qin Lie pursed his lips and said.
What else could Qin's mother say? She could only say, "Then be careful."
"I know, Mom, I won't tell you anymore, we are leaving."
"good."
Qin Lie hung up the phone and set off with the main force.
His comrade couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. I think your sister-in-law will understand."
I really feel some sympathy for Qin Lie.
All these things had been packed, and I could take a bus back to see my wife tomorrow, but then an emergency message suddenly came early in the morning, so my planned vacation was naturally ruined.
"But if we can make a contribution this time, your position can be promoted, and you can almost bring your wife to follow the army!" said the comrade.
Qin Lie nodded. You’re right. This is also an opportunity.
Wife, please wait for me a little longer. I will soon be able to accumulate enough military merits and bring you here to reunite with your spouse!
After Shen Yiyi finished selling her second pot of tea leaf eggs at the factory gate, she went home. On the way, she sneezed for no apparent reason.
When he came back and saw that Qin's mother looked exhausted, he immediately knew what was going on.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Mother Qin was also ashamed when she looked at her daughter-in-law. "Yiyi, the third son has an urgent mission and can't come back for the time being. You... don't blame him. He has no choice."
Although she is married, she rarely sees her husband more than twice a year. Her life is almost like being a widow.
Shen Yiyi came forward and held her hand. "Mom, I respect and love Qin Lie's profession. Protecting the country is his duty as a soldier. I only support and understand him! And as a military wife, when I go out to buy things and encounter things that are in short supply, people will give me priority in supply. I can't just enjoy the treatment of a military wife without bearing the obligations of a military wife. To put it in a broader sense, without the big family, how can there be a small family? If the country is not stable, how can our small family be stable? How can I make money by doing business like I do now? This is the result of their soldiers risking their lives to protect us outside. Mom, I understand all this and support Qin Lie."
Mother Qin's eyes were filled with tears after hearing what her daughter-in-law said.
Isn't Tang Xue the same?
It’s no wonder that my cousin’s wife can be a military wife. This kind of awareness is not something that ordinary people can have. She couldn’t help but admire her!
Mother Qin wiped away her tears, sniffed and said, "Mom just feels that you are too wronged. You are so good!" Her daughter-in-law is really impeccable!
"I don't feel wronged. Qin Lie is out there defending the country, and I'm at home taking care of his parents. The man is the breadwinner and the woman is the homemaker. It's just right." Shen Yiyi said with a smile.
Don’t even mention how Qin’s mother felt. How could she be so sensible?
Shen Yiyi: "I'm taking a half-day break today, Mom, let's pack up and go shopping. Let Xiaoxue look after the house."
"No need, don't worry about Mom. I'm fine. You're the one who's wronged, but now you have to comfort Mom." Mother Qin wiped away her tears and said.
"Let's go buy some clothes. Even though Qin Lie isn't coming back, we still have to dress up nicely. Let's take a photo and send it to Qin Lie later." Shen Yiyi said with a smile.
This made Qin's mother feel much better. "You're right. The third child must be missing home too. Let's take a picture and send it to him so he can see it too!"
Shen Yiyi smiled and nodded.
But this is to comfort Qin's mother.
What she was thinking was that she and Qin Lie probably wouldn't get along. He was too cold and they basically had nothing to say when they got home before.
Although he is probably not familiar with the original owner, his personality can be described in one word in the book as 'serious'.
The husband she was looking for had to speak a common language with her. It wasn't possible for him to reply to just one sentence out of every ten she said.
Others may not know, but she definitely can't stand that.
So the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out to the mall.
Mother Qin's sadness over her son's temporary inability to return was healed by the warmth of her daughter-in-law, and she smiled more often.
Shen Yiyi picked out two new sets of clothes for Qin's mother, both of which were particularly suitable. Because Qin's mother had a good temperament to begin with, these two new sets of clothes made her look several years younger.
"Your daughter is so filial and has good taste. She's really good at picking things," the counter clerk praised.
"This is not my daughter, this is my daughter-in-law." Mother Qin was very happy, but she still explained.
"Oh, you two have a really good relationship as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I thought you were mother and daughter when I first saw you."
Qin's mother was amused, and Shen Yiyi paid the money very neatly.
After buying clothes for Qin's mother, I came to the shoe store and bought another pair of shoes to match her clothes.
"Do you need special shoes to match your clothes?" Qin's mother said with a smile.
"That's right, mom, this new dress of yours must be matched with these shoes. You see, it really proves the saying that time never defeats beauty!" Shen Yiyi said nice words as if they were free.
The smile on Qin's mother's face never faded.
