Chapter 94 Gu Xiaoxi: I've seen a lot of big scenes

94 Gu Xiaoxi: I have seen many big scenes

The next morning, Shen Yiyi, Chu Bing, and Gu Xiaoxi, mother and daughter, got on a bus to the county town.

"Did Deputy Battalion Commander Qian take Li Mingxia to apologize last night?"

Chu Bing nodded, "Yes, I am here."

It was all Li Mingxia's fault for causing such a big commotion. Even if she had been reprimanded by her leader, she still had to apologize to the person involved.

She brought over a lot of things, such as peach cakes, toffee candies, and a net bag of apples.

However, Gu Yun only accepted some of the apples, saying that it was a misunderstanding and that it was fine as long as they were opened, and asked everyone else to take the rest back.

Shen Yiyi smiled and didn't say much, changing the subject.

As the two adults and a child were chatting, the car soon arrived at the county town.

The market in the county town was still as bustling as before, but unlike the area where Shen Yiyi, Zhou Xiaoyun, Feng Zhenzhen and the others visited last time, this time Chu Bing took her to another street.

There are many things sold on this street. For example, all the seafood that Shen Yiyi wants is available here.

But the price is extremely high because they are far from the sea and the fish they eat are all freshwater fish. These seafoods are all shipped from coastal areas and are not cheap.

The reason why Chu Bing knew about this place was because Gu Yun brought her here after asking around last time.

Last time I bought a lot of dried salted fish to bring back. Because it was pickled, the fishy smell was not that strong.

There are not only the more common ones like salted fish and dried shrimp, but also dried abalone and dried sea cucumber.

Shen Yiyi's eyes lit up.

Seeing her like this, Chu Bing smiled and said, "Would you like to buy some together? These things are not available every time you come."

Dried salted fish and shrimp are common, but the ones mentioned later are not always available.

The last time Chu Bing and Gu Yun brought their daughter here, there was only a little left, and that was all taken up by Chu Bing.

But it was still early this time, so there were still quite a few left.

Of course Shen Yiyi wanted to buy them. Although these things were not cheap, what did it matter?

The two generous ones just ordered half each and bought it all!

They are all dry goods, so you don’t have to worry about buying them and eating them slowly.

If other people saw Chu Bing's spending power, no matter how much money she made, they would definitely say something. But when they saw Shen Yiyi split the money with her equally without blinking an eye, they just smiled.

But she also gave a gentle reminder: "Will Captain Qin scold you for buying so much?"

Shen Yiyi said indifferently: "He won't say anything to me. I won't ask how he spends his money. Besides, the money I spend is my own money."

She didn't touch the money in Qin Lie's passbook.

Because she has her own money. What is the purpose of earning money? Isn't it so that you can spend money without hesitation when you need it?

This is a rare and tonic thing, shouldn’t I buy some for Qin Lie to eat?

Even though he looks very strong, he has been in the wind and rain for many years as a soldier, and who knows what injuries he may have inside his body.

Shen Yiyi couldn't help him in other areas, but when it came to diet, as long as she was at home, she would make delicious food for him so that he could eat more.

"Where did you earn it?" Chu Bing asked curiously.

Shen Yiyi smiled and said, "Don't laugh at me if I tell you."

"No." Chu Bing shook his head.

Shen Yiyi: "I have opened tea leaf egg workshops in our county, city, and provincial capital, specializing in wholesale tea leaf eggs."

"It's open in counties, cities and provincial capitals? So impressive?" Chu Bing asked in surprise.

Shen Yiyi smiled and said, "I'm not as good as you. I'm just being a little smart."

Chu Bing: "There are top talents in every profession. This is no small feat. But won't those things be delayed if you come here?"

"I hired people to help me manage the business, and later I recruited partners, all of whom are capable, so I left the work to them. I even gave the accounts to my sister-in-law to help me manage. Now I am just a hands-off manager."

Chu Bing admired him and asked, "Why did you think of starting a tea leaf egg business?"

Shen Yiyi also said: "At first, I was bored at home, so I looked for something to do. I didn't expect that I would find it more and more interesting, and gradually expanded the scale."

After saying this, he explained: "But don't get me wrong, Qin Lie has never treated me badly in terms of money."

"You don't need to explain this. I can see that you have a good relationship." Chu Bing smiled.

Gu Xiaoxi, who was eating candied haws, finally found the time to interrupt, "Uncle Qin is just like my dad, both of them love their wives."

Shen Yiyi smiled, "How do you know this?"

"Of course I understand. I saw it all. You two were secretly holding hands, just like my parents. When we were taking a walk outside, they would secretly hold hands when I wasn't paying attention. You thought I didn't know. But I actually knew everything." Gu Xiaoxi said cleverly.

Shen Yiyi was stunned. "When did I see us MLZL holding hands?"

Chu Bing was embarrassed, but since her daughter had said that, she had no choice but to explain: "Well, you two go buy groceries together, and I'll take her to play the treasure hunt game there."

Both mother and daughter saw Shen Yiyi teasing Qin Lie, and when no one was around, she held Qin Lie's hand.

Shen Yiyi's pretty face couldn't help but turn red. She thought there was no one around, but it turned out that someone saw her!

Qin Lie must have known that there was someone there. He even looked over there at the time, but he didn't stop her!

"Auntie, you don't have to be shy. I've seen a lot of big scenes. Once I woke up in the middle of the night and saw... uh huh."

Gu Xiaoxi didn't reveal the explosive news in the end, because Chu Bing, who was blushing, covered her mouth and said to her, "Do you still want to eat the candied haws? If not, I'll take it away!"

"Okay." Gu Xiaoxi admitted it.

Shen Yiyi knew what the little girl had seen, so she changed the subject naturally. "The reason why I do the tea egg business is mainly because I think that as long as we have the ability, we women should make some money on our own, no matter how much or how little. Having something to do on our own will make us more fulfilled and free. Isn't there a saying that over-dependence on anyone is a form of chronic suicide? There is no lush grass under a dense tree, and no beautiful seedlings between large plots of land."

Chu Bing also got out of the awkward situation instantly, and looked at Shen Yiyi with admiration, "You are right."

She said that she could chat with Shen Yiyi because she knew at first sight that she was different from other military wives.

Because she thought so too.

It is certain that she likes Gu Yun, but she will not rely on him too much, so she worked hard to learn English, and later became a translator, and then progressed to a translator. This did not come out of nowhere, but was the result of her own hard work.

It also makes her life fulfilling and comfortable.

Because she can make money, she never feels guilty even if the military wives point fingers at her behind her back, saying she is unsociable and arrogant.

If you don't like to hang out with them and criticize others, you just don't like it. There's no need to force yourself to please them.

If you try to please someone but they don't work out in the end, you'll probably be criticized behind your back.

She had experienced all this before she came to join the army, but after coming here she just did it all at once, saving both trouble and effort!
