Chapter 80: Sending Maotai Liquor

In addition to milk powder, Xiao Qingru also bought maltose, brown sugar, and white fungus, all of which are good things for nourishing the body.

Because the quota is limited, she plans to send these things to Beijing.

I bought fresh eggs and meat from my mother's home.

I saw there was a special supply of Moutai liquor, so I bought a bottle for my father, spending more than four yuan.

The allowance that was just issued was spent so lavishly.

Thinking that it would take time to make sweet potato vermicelli, and that these things have a shelf life, Xiao Qingru went to the post office and mailed the things out first.

There was nothing much to see in the city alone, so I went home after finishing my business.

When I went out, I met someone I didn't want to see, but when I came back, everything went smoothly. Until I got home, I didn't encounter any more troubles.

"Your dad doesn't drink normally, why did you buy wine for him?"

"It's nice to just put it there to satisfy your eyes."

Xiao's mother was fiddling with a wine bottle. Although she couldn't drink, she looked right from the looks of her.

"Your dad will be very happy to see this. He might even sleep with the bottle in his arms tonight."

"So exaggerated?"

"She would say, this is a gift from a girl, it means a lot!"

Although Mr. Xiao doesn't drink much, he still likes to collect it.

In addition to the Moutai bought by Xiao Qingru, there are several bottles of famous liquors in the house.

According to Mr. Xiao, he would keep all the wine until he retires, and invite friends to his home for a drink during festivals.

Sure enough, when Mr. Xiao came home from get off work, he was very happy to see Moutai.

I was even happier knowing that this was bought by the lady.

I secretly thought that it was better to raise a daughter, because the bad boy at home would not be so clingy.

I heard that there was some trouble in Beijing. If my son-in-law hadn't helped me clean up the mess, that guy would have been embarrassed.

It is said that a son-in-law is half a son. Xu Muzhou has a promising future, and Xiao's father is very proud of him.

Although Xiao Qingru missed Xu Muzhou, she did not ask her father for any news.

I went there to exchange and learn, and I will come back naturally when it is time.

Some questions would make it difficult for your father if you asked too many questions.

Because Xiao Qingru bought meat, we had meat dumplings in the evening. The method was simple and the taste was good. I still felt unsatisfied after finishing a pound of meat.

"When Xiao Xu and your brother come home, we'll make Roujiabao again."

Xiao Qingru was just an assistant. She had no objection to her mother's willingness to do it. "I will be responsible for buying the meat when the time comes."

"It's not certain whether you will have a day off, so I'll go buy it. I have nothing to do at home anyway."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Days passed, and when autumn harvest arrived, Xu Muzhou would be back soon.

"Mom, are we going to the Qianjin Production Team today?"

"That's what I was planning. The first batch of sweet potatoes matured some time ago. We will distribute the food right after the autumn harvest. I think there will be many villagers willing to sell sweet potatoes to us."

Sweet potatoes can be planted twice a year, and people don't buy much, only about 100 kilograms, and it's easy to buy them by visiting two more households.

Xiao's mother teased, "While Xiao Xu is not back yet, I will call you. When you move back to the tube building, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to see you once."

Xiao Qingru was embarrassed by what she said, "If you can't bear to leave me, we can live at home forever."

"Come on, I'll be more relaxed if you guys move out."

"If you have any questions, come find me at the tube building and I'll come back to help you."

"If I don't look for you, you won't come back?"

Xiao Qingru didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Yes, come back once a day from now on."

Mrs. Xiao stopped teasing her daughter and pushed her bicycle out. "Did you bring the pancakes I prepared for Xiao Song?"

Xiao Qingru pointed to the bag hanging on the bicycle and said, "I've brought them all."

"Okay, let's go."

Xiao's mother knew how to ride a bicycle, so the mother and daughter each rode one and headed towards the production team.

I calculated the time before going out this time, and when I arrived, Song Yuan had just finished her morning work.

With the cakes brought by Xiao Qingru and the others, Song Yuan no longer had to cook.

Seeing the new small kitchen next to the dormitory, Xiao Qingru asked, "Did the production team build it for you?"

"no."

Xiao Qingru thought, could it be Qin Bei who did it?

The next second, Song Yuan confirmed her guess, "Isn't it that I helped Qin Tian last time, and Brother Wang didn't appreciate it at the time, but later he felt embarrassed, so he built a kitchen for me."

She wanted to ask a few more questions, but her mother was still silent, so Xiao Qingru didn't ask any further questions.

"It's good to have a kitchen. You don't have to borrow it from your fellow villagers."

“It’s quite convenient.”

The Qin family was the closest to the school, and in the past, Song Yuan and her family only had to walk a few steps to use the kitchen.

But going to someone else's house takes more time.

In addition, it rained frequently some time ago, which made it even more inconvenient.

When Qin Bei first proposed to build a kitchen for Song Yuan, she refused.

Later, the man ignored her opinions and came to work after work every day, so Song Yuan didn't care anymore.

The kitchen is ready now, it would be a waste if not used.

Song Yuan was not the kind of person who would put herself in a difficult position, so she just thought of it as Qin Bei doing a good deed for the production team.

Anyway, no matter whether she goes to teach in the production team or not, the kitchen will be left to benefit future generations.

When I thought about it this way, the burden in my heart disappeared without a trace.

Everyone in the production team knew that the school conditions were poor and that a kitchen should be built for Teacher Song, but they were busy working every day, and later they saw Song Yuan borrowing someone else's kitchen, which seemed to be no inconvenience, so they automatically put the matter behind them.

When Qin Bei was helping in the kitchen, there was some gossip in the production team.

Later, I heard that Song Yuan fed Qin Tian meat, taught him to read, and helped to discipline naughty children. Only then did I understand Qin Bei's actions.

This is a way of repaying a favor.

Coupled with Yu Wan's pursuit of Qin Bei, the rumors about Song Yuan quickly dissipated.

Knowing the purpose of Xiao Qingru and the others' visit, Song Yuan smiled and said, "You guys came at a good time. I helped a student pay for his tuition before, and his family returned me a few bags of sweet potatoes a few days ago. You can just take them back without having to buy from your fellow villagers."

As a teacher, Song Yuan received a subsidy of food and food coupons every month. However, the school was small and it was not feasible to just pile up the sweet potatoes like that. She was worrying about how to solve this problem when Xiao Qingru and her friends came.

"Then I'll give you food stamps."

"Okay."

Song Yuan didn't care about the more than 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes, but as the old saying goes, even brothers should settle accounts clearly. She accepted the grain coupons, and the other party didn't have to bear the burden, so everyone was happy.

Mrs. Xiao was a smart person. Thinking back to what her daughter had said before and combining it with what Song Yuan had just said about the kitchen, she already had a rough guess in her mind.

She sighed quietly, it seemed that her wish of having Xiao Song as her daughter-in-law would never come true.
