"So that's what happened. It seems she came to our house today to propose marriage to Dazhu. Mom, don't feel bad about sending her away.
The matchmaker had a bad reputation in the village to begin with. Others were wary of her only because their sons and daughters were still unmarried and had to rely on her for matchmaking.
But you also saw that she praised the Qi family to the skies back then, but what was the result?
I'm already a living example. I can't let Dazhu be harmed by her again. If she gets what she said and he marries a troublemaker, our family won't have an easy life!"
Ying Xixi spoke about this very seriously.
Ying's mother nodded repeatedly, "Xixi is right."
"Alright, Dad, Mom, Dazhu, I've prepared the meal. You guys take a break and come eat."
As Ying Xixi spoke, she took Guigui to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
The family sat around the table and ate the small dishes made by Ying Xixi.
Ying Liangzhu kept sighing, "Sister, the food you cook is really delicious! Sister, why don't you open a small restaurant? The food in town isn't as good as yours, and the business is pretty good."
Ying Xixi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ying Liangzhu, "Dazhu, have you ever eaten at a restaurant in town?"
Dazhu chuckled, "I went there once. I went with some villagers. We each paid a few cents, so it didn't cost much."
"Dazhu loves to eat. He's almost eaten everything from the surrounding stalls."
Ying's mother shook her head unhappily.
"Dazhu, when we're ready for dinner, why don't you come with me to the coal mine entrance and try setting up a stall. Let's see how it goes here. Then, in a couple of days, we can try setting up a stall in town. How about that?"
Ying Xixi knew that she couldn't stay here to set up a stall forever, or really open a restaurant in the town.
Now she just wanted to earn some money for the trip to find Qi Weidong, and also to take Guibao to the hospital for treatment.
I just went to the hospital to check on the condition of my baby's cleft lip and palate and how much it would cost if surgery was needed.
The money she earned after that would be used to pay for the surgery.
As for whether to open a restaurant or do something else in the future, we’ll talk about it later.
Let’s do the present well first.
"Okay! I'll lead the way for you, and I can yell too!"
Ying Liangzhu was so excited that he couldn't wait to go.
Guigui scooped a mouthful of rice into her mouth, looked at her uncle, and echoed in her baby voice like a parrot, "Yahoo!"
"Okay, our treasure will also go with mother and uncle."
The Ying family is laughing and talking happily here.
The Qi family had a hard time after leaving Ying Xixi for a night and a morning.
"You two are bastards! You can't even cook! The food is so mushy, even a dog wouldn't eat it!"
Old Mrs. Qi picked up a handful of blackened vegetables with chopsticks and threw them into Xia Qiulan's bowl.
Xia Qiulan curled her lips and said, "Mom, it's usually my sister-in-law who cooks. We're not very skilled at it. I heard that my sister-in-law went back to her parents' home last night without telling us. I don't know if she wants to divorce my brother."
Xia Qiulan changed the subject, and Old Lady Qi snorted coldly.
"She and the boss are in a military marriage, so how can it be so easy to divorce? This marriage is not something she can divorce just because she wants to!"
"Mom, my eldest sister-in-law has gone back to her parents' home. Why don't you send someone to call her and Guigui back? What if she doesn't come back for a long time?
My second sister-in-law and I are not very good at cooking, so we have to rely on our eldest sister-in-law for cooking."
He Chunhua also agreed.
The two sisters-in-law wanted Ying Xixi, the eldest sister-in-law, to come back, simply because they didn't want to cook.
They also obviously forgot what Old Lady Qi had asked them to do, which was to cook.
"I don't care about her! If she has the guts, she can stay at her parents' house forever and never come back! When the boss comes back, I'll let him divorce her!"
Old Mrs. Qi cursed and spit on the food on the table.
"Mom, when will my eldest brother come back? He left the day after he and my eldest sister-in-law got married and it's been more than three years since then."
Xia Qiulan asked casually.
"How do I know when he'll be back? This unfilial son hasn't come back in all these years, and he didn't even bother to write a letter!"
Old Mrs. Qi cursed and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
"I'll have to go to town in a few days to pick up the allowance that my boss sent me."
Xia Qiulan's eyes rolled around, "Mom, I'll go to town with you then. I can also buy some meat to feed the two children."
"Bah! Do you think I don't know what you're up to? Don't even think about it, Third Brother. Go to town with me in a few days."
Old Mrs. Qi specifically asked Qi Weijia to go.
The third son of the Qi family, Qi Weijia, is honest and simple and doesn't have so many thoughts.
Since childhood, Old Lady Qi has favored the sweet-mouthed and capable second son, Qi Weiguo, and ignored the honest Qi Weijia and the silent Qi Weidong.
When good things happened, she couldn't think of Qi Weijia and Qi Weidong.
Whenever she needed to work, she would think of Qi Wei's family.
When Qi Weijia heard the order from her biased mother, she responded without any displeasure.
At the Ying family's side, Ying Xixi made a few small dishes and steamed buns in the afternoon, and took Guigui and Ying Liangzhu to set up a stall in front of the coal mine.
There is still about an hour before people get off work, but many stalls have been set up at the door.
Ying Xixi casually looked at the stalls around her. There were stalls selling steamed buns, noodles, small bowls of vegetables, and rice.
After thinking about it, Ying Xixi took out a small bowl, picked out some dishes of each, and planned to give the guests free samples.
It has only been a short time since individuals started to be allowed to set up stalls in this era, and those various marketing strategies have not yet come out. It is just right that she can borrow other people's wisdom to do her marketing.
Soon a bell rang, and the sound of dense footsteps came from the coal mine, and the originally clear air began to raise dust.
The door opened and a group of dark-skinned people covered in dust ran out.
It can be seen that the vendors around here must have set up their stalls before, and these workers rushed out and ran towards their familiar stalls.
Ying Xixi was a new face here, and only two people came to ask about the price.
Ying Xixi quoted a price and asked Ying Liangzhu to shout with her.
"Free trial! If it doesn't taste good, no charge! If it doesn't taste good, no need to buy it! Only buy it if you think it tastes good!"
The other stalls were very crowded, and those who couldn't squeeze in came over after hearing the shouting.
However, this was the first time everyone had heard of the free tasting offer, and some were hesitant to take the plunge.
“You can try it for free and buy it if you like it.”
Ying Xixi has beautiful facial features and a gentle voice. Seeing her smiling face, everyone actually tried the food.
"It's quite delicious. I want two steamed buns and a small bowl of vegetables!"
"I want a steamed bun, a meat bun, and two small bowls of vegetables..."
