Chapter 39 A short separation makes the heart grow fonder!
Qin Zhizhi was giving food tasting to the students when suddenly a shadow blocked her view. She was about to ask them to line up when she looked up and saw Gu Jinghuai.
"Husband, why are you here?" Qin Zhizhi smiled sweetly.
"I came out to buy some things. Why are you here?" Gu Jinghuai only saw his wife, and had not seen Mrs. Qin, Qin Shan and the others.
"We're here to pick you up and sell some things. Grandma and Uncle are over there helping to collect money and pack the peanut candies."
Following the direction Qin Zhizhi pointed, Gu Jinghuai saw Mrs. Qin and Qin Shan surrounded by students.
"Sister, are you here to pick us up?" Qin Qingyun was very happy. They had been in the academy for ten days.
"Yes, I made some food. Let's try our luck at the academy. We'll go home together later."
Qin Zhizhi was also very happy to see her two brothers.
"Why are you guys walking so fast? I'm so tired. Hello, sister-in-law." Ning Xuan finally caught up with them.
"Hello, Mr. Ning. I made some peanut candy. You can try some later."
Qin Zhizhi guessed that Ning Xuan would like to eat these.
"I thought my sister-in-law was here to pick up Brother Jing Huai, but she even brought some delicious food. I'm so happy."
Ning Xuan was very happy. Today he was discussing with Gu Jinghuai about going to Gu's house, but was rejected by that guy.
Now the peanut candy brought by Qin Zhizhi finally comforted Ning Xuan's wounded heart.
"Brother, tell Grandma not to sell all the goods and leave some for Master Ning."
"I understand, sister. I'll go tell grandma right away."
Qin Qingyuan knew that his sister and brother-in-law had not seen each other for many days, so he directly dragged Ning Xuan and his brother away. These two big lights had no self-awareness at all.
"Brother Qingyuan, why are you pulling me? I can walk by myself."
Qin Zhizhi couldn't help but laugh when she heard Ning Xuan's voice. It was really rare for her husband and brothers to have such roommates.
Gu Jinghuai stayed to help Qin Zhizhi. Gu Jinghuai was well-educated and the teacher liked him very much. Many students in the academy also knew him.
When he met familiar classmates, Gu Jinghuai greeted them generously and introduced his wife by the way.
So from that day on, almost everyone in the academy knew that Gu Jinghuai already had a wife, even the doorman knew it.
Not long after, Qin Qingyun came over and said, "Sister, grandma said there's no need to try it. There aren't many peanut candy crisps left."
"So fast, then let's sell the rest and prepare to go home!"
Qin Zhizhi was very happy when she heard that the peanut candy crisps she brought were about to be sold out.
"By the way, do you have classes in the afternoon?" Qin Zhizhi thought, if they left now, what would happen to her husband and brother.
"You can go home. In the afternoon, you will write an article for the teacher. We can wait until the rest period is over before showing it to the teacher."
Qin Qingyun now just wants to go home with his family.
"In that case, go back and pack your things. We'll wait for you here."
Hearing them say that they could go back together, Qin Zhizhi immediately urged them to go back and pack their things.
"You don't have to go back. Second brother can go back and get it himself. Just let Jing Huai stay here with you."
Everyone had packed up their things long ago, and Qin Qingyun happily went back to the academy alone to get his things.
Gu Jinghuai silently gave Qin Qingyun a thumbs up in his heart. This brother can get along well.
The peanut candy crisps sold out faster than expected, mainly because Ning Xuan bought all the rest after trying them, about three pounds.
Qin Zhizhi originally didn't want the money, but Ning Xuan insisted, so Qin Zhizhi had no choice but to accept it and gave him the rest.
The few of them were so busy that they hadn't eaten yet, so Qin Zhizhi took everyone to eat wontons at a roadside stall.
After eating wontons, Qin Zhizhi asked Qin Shan to take them to the street. Qin Zhizhi was going to buy some things.
Since they haven't been home for such a long time, Qin Zhizhi of course wants to give them some nourishment.
Today I brought about fifty pounds of peanut candy, twenty cents a pound, and earned one thousand cents.
The money Qin Zhizhi gave them last time plus what they earned from copying books, so when Qin Zhizhi bought something, they all rushed to pay.
Qin Zhizhi let them pay small amounts of money, and those who had more money could not compete with Qin Zhizhi at all. Several of them returned with a lot of money, and Qin Zhizhi was full of energy.
When they returned to the village, it was still early before dark, so the ox cart went directly to Gu's house, and several people helped unload all the things.
Qin Shan drove the ox cart back home, while Mrs. Qin and a few others stayed behind to continue working.
When they learned that Qin Zhizhi's peanut candy crisps had all been sold out, they were overjoyed, especially Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Zhao.
Only after the things are sold will they have the opportunity to continue helping the Gu family.
In order to welcome them home, Qin Zhizhi cooked for them herself in the evening, and of course the two families had dinner together.
Rabbit meat must be arranged tonight.
Qin Zhizhi took the rabbit, washed it, removed the bones and tendons, pounded it with the back of a knife, and cut it into cubes for later use.
I also took some wild pepper and cut it up to use later.
Then put lard in the pot, add rabbit meat after the oil boils, fry until crispy and golden brown, and pour into a bamboo colander to drain the oil.
Put red pepper into the pot, add salt and stir-fry, then add pepper powder and rabbit meat, pour in the sauce, stir-fry for a while.
The aroma of rabbit meat wafted through the yard, and the children couldn't help but go to the kitchen several times to check it out.
Qin Zhizhi had just made white flour buns yesterday, boiled bone soup, cooked fish, and stir-fried vegetables.
The dinner was very rich, and Qin Zhizhi also told everyone that she was selling peanut candy crisps today.
No one expected that peanuts could be used in this way, and those who had been worried about Qin Zhizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Zhizhi also told everyone about her next plans.
From now on, my aunt will go to the academy every five days to sell peanut candy, and she can set up a stall in the county town at other times.
When my uncle goes to the restaurant to deliver fish, he can take my aunt with him.
Qin Zhizhi's mother, Zhang, made peanut candy crisps with Qin Zhizhi, and her third aunt also followed suit to learn.
The Gu and Qin families split the money from the sale. After deducting the cost, the Gu family gets 60% and the Qin family gets 40%.
The Qin family felt that the share given was too much, but Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai insisted, and the Qin family had no choice but to agree.
Qin Zhizhi stipulated that all future business should be distributed according to this ratio, and the Qin family was deeply moved.
Before going to bed at night, Qin Zhizhi asked Gu Jinghuai, "Does my husband think that Zhizhi is subsidizing my family?"
Gu Jinghuai hugged Qin Zhizhi in his arms and said, "My wife, it is clearly the Yue family who is taking care of us. I am grateful to them so much. How could I think that you are subsidizing your family?"
Qin Zhizhi understood that Gu Jinghuai understood her painstaking efforts and leaned closer to him.
"Thank you, my husband. You are so kind!"
Gu Jinghuai hugged Qin Zhizhi tighter. His little wife was so adorable.
"I feel that my wife's gratitude is not sincere enough." Gu Jing chuckled.
"What about this?" Qin Zhizhi kissed Gu Jinghuai on the cheek and asked seriously.
"I think so."
"My husband, you are cheating!"
"My lady, remember to breathe."
