Chapter 327 Wang Zheng and Qin Lan

327 Wang Zheng and Qin Lan

There were no buses back to the county town at this time, so I asked for two rooms at the guesthouse to rest.

Qin's mother Qin Ningning and Qin Xiaoyan lived in one room, while Qin Lie and Shen Yiyi and their two sons lived in another room, just next door to each other.

After settling in, we went out to eat.

After all, this was not the first time I stayed overnight in the city, so I knew exactly which restaurants had the best food.

We came to this authentic restaurant, asked for a private room, and the whole family ordered food and had their meal.

The meals we eat on the train are simple, such as egg buns, steamed buns and dumplings. The taste is much worse because they are not freshly cooked. Now we can eat them hot, so we have to start cooking.

Braised pork, braised pork ribs with potatoes, fried eggs with shrimp, sweet and sour fish, stir-fried cabbage, dragon bone and kelp soup.

When these dishes were served, the portions were more than enough. Just the big white steamed buns were enough to fill the whole family's stomachs.

After eating, he did not go home immediately. Instead, as it was almost time, he went to buy some apples and candies as snacks and brought them to Wang Zheng and Qin Lan's store.

When they arrived, Wang Zheng was killing chickens with his nephew. There were no customers buying chickens or eggs at the moment, and Qin Lan was not there.

It was a pleasant surprise to see them coming.

"Aunt, Brother Qin, Sister-in-law, it's your holiday!" Wang Zheng said happily.

"I'm home for the holidays and came to see you." Qin Lie said with a smile.

Wang Zheng nodded, and immediately turned to his nephew who was plucking chicken feathers and said, "Guo Bin, you look after the store."

"Okay, uncle."

Wang Zheng took off the bib hanging in front of him and put it aside, then led them home.

Wang Zheng also said to them, "Brother Qin, you too, you came here with your aunt and sister-in-law, why do you need to stay in a guesthouse? Last year, it was the same. You know that there are still spare rooms at home, which is more than enough for you!"

Qin Lie said, "It's too troublesome. I'll take a bus back to the county town early tomorrow morning. It'll be more convenient to stay in a guesthouse."

Shen Yiyi also smiled and said, "Yes, you are so busy at the end of the year, you don't have to entertain us."

There are so many people here. Although they can all stay here, it doesn’t cost much to stay in a guesthouse. There’s no need to bother. The store business is very busy at the end of the year.

My home is not far from the store, only a few hundred meters away, and I can get there in no time.

"Xiaolan, open the door." Wang Zheng shouted.

Qin Lan, who was taking care of the child in the house, came out to open the door. She was surprised to see so many of them coming, "Aunt, brother, sister-in-law!"

Of course, my niece Qin Xiaoyan, as well as Qin Ningning, Hengheng Fantuan and others also said hello.

"Oh, Xiaolan, you've become a lot rounder. You look much prettier than before. You look blessed!" Mother Qin said with a smile when she saw her niece like this.

Qin Lan greeted them as they entered the house and said with a smile, "Second Aunt, you just don't dare to tell the truth. I'm so fat now. I will lose weight after I wean the baby!"

Upon hearing this, Qin's mother asked, "Is it still there?"

Shen Yiyi was also surprised. She remembered that Qin Lan’s child seemed to be over one year old.

"I heard that breastfeeding is good and the baby is less likely to get sick, so I breastfed for a little longer. Anyway, I don't have anything to do, so there's no need to rush to wean." Qin Lan said with a smile.

After entering the house, she picked up her son Wang Congcong who was playing with toys.

It is really well raised, with a chubby and brave face. It is not afraid of people. It is very happy to see Hengheng and Fantuan and wants to give them toys to play with.

Hengheng and Fantuan took better care of their younger brothers and sisters when they saw them. They patted his head with satisfaction and said, "Hello, little brother."

Wang Congcong grinned at his two cousins ​​and wanted to pull them over to play with toys.

Hengheng and Fantuan went over to play with him, but they looked down on their brother's childish toys as they thought they were already adults. But their cousin Qin Ningning was still very patient.

The children played on the carpet while the adults sat and chatted.

Mother Qin said to Wang Zheng, "Wang Zheng, do you want to go to the store and look after it? Can you leave everything to your nephew?"

"I don't need to go. Leave it to him. He's busy now. The evening rush hour is over." Wang Zheng said while making tea.

His store mainly sells four things: eggs, live chickens, slaughtered chickens, and bean sprouts.

The bean sprouts are grown by Qin Lan and are placed in the store. If a customer likes the sprouts, they will buy some and fry them at home.

Of course, bean sprouts are sold along with the main items.

"How's business?" Shen Yiyi asked.

"Business is pretty good, but it's a bit busier during the New Year and other holidays," Wang Zheng said with a smile.

"Xiaolan, are you taking care of the children at home now?" asked Qin's mother.

"I'm going to help too. Congcong had a runny nose a few days ago. I was afraid he would catch a cold, so I haven't dared to take him out these days." Qin Lan brought them tea.

Now is the busiest time for business, so of course she has to help. She would carry her son to the store, give him more toys to play with, and then she would be free to help.

But she didn't know if it was because he was often taken out, but even though he was wrapped tightly, his son still had a runny nose, and she was worried that he had a cold.

So recently she has been staying at home to take care of the children and has not been there anymore. She has also handed over the store to Wang Zheng and his nephew Wang Guobin.

Because the store slaughters chickens for others, it is really busy.

The shop opens at eight in the morning and stays open until around nine or ten in the evening.

It's not that we're still doing business so late, but we're still boiling water and killing chickens. This is because the chickens to be sold the next day need to be killed and cleaned up a day in advance so that customers can pick them up directly when they come to buy them. This is much more convenient.

If we don't kill them in advance, we will be too busy.

Qin Xiaoyan asked immediately after hearing this: "Aunt, do you want me to stay and help you?"

"Of course!" Qin Lan's eyes lit up. "If you're willing to stay and help, I'll pay you a salary!"

"No need to calculate wages. The New Year is almost here, and there are only a few days left." Qin Xiaoyan said with a smile.

"No, that won't work. I will pay you your salary. You stay and help me take care of Congcong and cook for about ten days. After ten days, we will close the store and prepare for the New Year. Then I will take you to the station to catch the bus!" Qin Lan said hurriedly.

Although she is the younger aunt, she is only eight years older than her niece Qin Xiaoyan.

She also knew her niece's personality, and she would be relieved if she entrusted her son to her to take care of him.

It's really too busy now. These days, Wang Zheng and Wang Guobin, the uncle and nephew, are really busy and exhausted.

It would really make their life easier if she could lend a hand.

"Second grandma, auntie, then I will stay and help my aunt." Qin Xiaoyan said to Qin's mother Shen Yiyi.

"Then you have to call your mother." Qin's mother had no objection, but she said it anyway.

"I'll go fight." Qin Lan said.
