It was no wonder that Qin Qingman made sarcastic remarks. The main reason was that they met the hateful guy Liu Hechang again. The person who shouted that he had taken a fancy to her was called Lin Cuixiang, who was the widow Lin who had just registered her marriage with Liu Hechang.
Widow Lin was no simple person either. Although she was a country woman, she was quite capable in sending her daughter to school in town.
Lin Cuixiang knew Liu Hechang's true nature and that he was not a good person. However, since she dared to marry him, she must have her own reasons. At the same time, she was also attracted by Liu Hechang's power and wealth.
For example, before she got married, she had visited the supply and marketing cooperative several times. She knew all the good things there were and was planning to buy them after she got married. The watch Qin Qingman was holding was the one she had picked out in advance.
A remarried widow could make Liu Hechang willingly pay for a watch for her, which shows that Lin Cuixiang is indeed a capable person.
Lin Cuixiang, who thought she had found a backer, was choked by Qin Qingman's words, "Have you paid?"
I was so angry that my face turned red, but I could do nothing about it.
Seeing something and buying it are two different things.
But Lin Cuixiang really likes the watch in Qin Qingman's hand. She has looked at this watch no less than ten times. Today, she finally persuaded Liu Hechang to buy it for her. How could she let it go so easily?
After taking a look at Qin Qingman, who was covered in patches, Lin Cuixiang glanced at Wei Ling covertly.
She was a little unsure about the identities of these two people.
They are said to be a couple, but why does the husband wear clothes without any patches, while the woman does the opposite? But if you say they are not a couple, any discerning person can see the tenderness between them.
The fact that Lin Cuixiang chose Liu Hechang out of the predicament shows that she is a person who knows the current affairs very well.
Seeing that Wei Ling was a military officer, she didn't dare to provoke him, and she also didn't dare to provoke Qin Qingman. But she really liked that watch, so she put aside her shame and smiled, "Comrade, this is it, we just got married, and we are waiting to buy this watch as a wedding gift. What do you think, can you make a concession?"
Qin Qingman raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing what Lin Cuixiang said. She originally thought that the other party would make trouble for her, but she didn't expect that she was quite kind.
After thinking for a while, she looked down at the watch in her hand.
This watch is a Shanghai brand, with a round dial and golden hands. It was considered a luxury item in that era. For her, who has lived in the countryside for a long time, it doesn’t matter whether she buys it or not. After all, people in the countryside have their own way of telling time.
More importantly, this watch is the only one in the supply and marketing cooperative.
The only thing that shows that people who want to buy not only come to see a lot, but also try a lot.
A watch that had been tried on by countless people, and to be honest, she didn't really want it.
Just when Qin Qingman was about to give in, Liu Hechang, who recognized Qin Qingman, became extremely dissatisfied. He had been ridiculed and beaten up by Qin Qingman and Wei Ling before. Although he did not dare to fight openly, the resentment remained in his heart.
Liu Hechang watched Qin Qingman carefully looking at the watch on her hand. His heart was warmed up and he suddenly felt heroic. He said quickly, "Comrade waiter, please wrap the watch for me. Here are the money and tickets."
Originally, Qin Qingman had no intention of paying any attention to Liu Hechang, but she didn't expect this man to take the initiative to show up as a malicious person.
His face turned cold and his tone became tough, "Comrade, shouldn't there be a first come first served?"
"We've seen this watch before. We were a little late when we went back to get the money. Actually, we got there before you." Liu Hechang looked at Wei Ling provocatively when he said this. He bet that Wei Ling's belongings were not as much as his.
Since he couldn't get Qin Qingman, he wanted to save Wei Ling's face in front of Qin Qingman.
Wei Ling looked at Liu Hechang with a fierce gaze.
This person is provoking me in a man's way, which I absolutely cannot tolerate.
In his previous life, Wei Ling was the prince of a country that was a rival in power and wealth. In his eyes, all the wealth of Wan Guan's family was like a passing cloud. How could he be afraid of competing for wealth?
"Comrade, pack up this watch, the radio next to it, the sewing machine, and the bicycle for me." Wei Ling spoke more generously than Liu Hechang, and at the same time looked at Qin Qingman.
All his belongings are in Qin Qingman's hands.
Qin Qingman may not like the watch that many people have tried, but she absolutely cannot lose Wei Ling's face at this time.
As soon as Wei Ling's eyes turned to her, she immediately took out a large stack of money from her bag, and then took out the corresponding tickets.
Looking at the real money and bills on the counter, not only the salesperson at the counter had his heart pounding, but even Lin Cuixiang swallowed nervously, and then looked at Qin Qingman with envy as she took out these things.
Lin Cuixiang was jealous, really jealous.
Qin Qingman can make decisions for Wei Ling, but she cannot make decisions for Liu Hechang, so if she wants to buy anything she can only please Liu Hechang and act according to his mood.
Thinking of this, Lin Cuixiang shifted her gaze to Liu Hechang beside her.
She really hoped that Liu Hechang would continue to fight with Wei Ling, because she, the man next to him, would be the ultimate beneficiary.
Liu Hechang didn't expect Wei Ling to be so generous, nor did he expect Wei Ling to be not just talking, but to really be able to take out the money and tickets to buy so many big items.
Sweat instantly slid down his forehead.
He had money and tickets, but he was unwilling to buy anything. Why should he buy so many things for a wife who was remarried? A wife who was remarried was not worthy of his efforts. But under the vaguely disdainful gazes of Wei Ling and Qin Qingman, Liu Hechang couldn't open his mouth to say that he didn't want to buy anything.
"Comrade, are you sure you want to buy it?"
The salesperson finally came back to his senses from the shock, and his eager gaze remained on Qin Qingman's face.
The one who paid was the eldest son, and they knew who they envied.
"Buy." Qin Qingman knew what Wei Ling meant and answered calmly.
Wei Ling on the side was satisfied. How could he treat his own daughter-in-law badly?
He wants to give the best to his wife.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a shortage of good things in this era, he wouldn't even like the things he bought now. In the past, the betrothal gift had to include at least pearls as big as a baby's fist, the finest jade from Xinjiang, silks and satins from Suzhou and Hangzhou, countless gold and silver jewelry, farms, real estate...
Qin Qingman had no idea what was going on in Wei Ling's mind, and she didn't feel bad about buying these things.
She has seen all the good things in the future and she has the ability to make money. It's just that she can't be as generous as Wei Ling due to the limitations of the times. After the reform and opening up, she will make a lot of money to buy the best things in the world for Wei Ling.
Just like how Wei Ling treated himself at this moment.
"Old...Old Liu!" Lin Cuixiang became a little uneasy as she watched the salesperson start to count the money and bills that Qin Qingman took out.
This is the watch she had her eyes on for a long time!
She had already shown off to the old ladies in the village. If she didn't buy the watch back today, she would have no face to see anyone.
After Lin Cuixiang's urging, Liu Hechang's sanity collapsed.
"Wait, I want all the things he wants, pack them for me too." Liu Hechang couldn't bear to see Wei Ling showing off in front of Qin Qingman. If he couldn't get the girl, could he not even be able to compete with him in the limelight?
No, we have to compare.
"Comrade, we have excess bicycles, sewing machines, and radios. We can pack one for you. But I'm sorry about this watch. We only have this one. It took our director a long time to get this brand of watch back to the supply and marketing cooperative."
The salesperson looked at Liu Hechang awkwardly.
It's not that they don't want to sell the watch, but there is only one such watch, the only one.
"No, I must have this watch. I'm getting married today and this is my wedding gift." Liu Hechang refused to give in.
He just wanted to offend Wei Ling and slap him in the face.
The salesperson could only look at Qin Qingman for help. They had just seen that Qin Qingman wanted to give up the watch. If Liu Hechang hadn't suddenly made trouble, the watch might have been given up long ago.
Several salespeople rolled their eyes in frustration.
They disliked Liu Hechang.
Even if Liu Hechang bought all the things they had here, they still wouldn't like it.
The sales clerks of this era were different from those in later generations. There was no such thing as more pay for more work, and no sales commission. They just got a fixed salary for one month, and that was the fixed amount. Therefore, their attitude towards ordinary people was not very nice.
If they didn't know that those who could afford big items were well-off, these salespeople would have turned their backs on Liu Hechang because of his fuss.
Qin Qingman gave a helpless expression in response to the salesperson's request for help.
Her wife Wei Ling was right. It was impossible for her to embarrass her man in front of outsiders for the sake of a malicious person.
If you really do that, then you have a hole in your brain.
Seeing that Qin Qingman didn't care, the salespeople had no choice but to turn their eyes to Wei Ling again.
Wei Ling glanced at Liu Hechang slowly and said lightly, "This watch is a wedding gift for my wife. It must be a great gift."
"What, you guys are married?"
Wei Ling's words broke down all of Liu Hechang's psychological defenses.
Qin Qingman was worried that Liu Hechang would say something he shouldn't, so she quickly said, "It's none of your business whether we get married or not. You are such a mean person who would give up the engagement just because your future mother-in-law is seriously injured. You really pollute my eyes and bring bad luck."
Because of Qin Qingman's words, all the sales clerks on the second floor focused their gossipy eyes on Liu Hechang's face.
Oh, I didn’t expect this person to be so disgusting!
He is so heartless and ungrateful, just like Chen Shimei in opera. The woman who is engaged to him must be so unlucky to meet such a scumbag. Fortunately, she saw through his character before marriage, otherwise she would have suffered after marriage.
The salesperson felt sympathy for Qin Caiyun, whom he had never met before.
Liu Hechang was choked by Qin Qingman's words and his face turned red and white, and he couldn't say anything.
Wei Ling had warned him before that he and Qin Qingman had never even met each other, and if he dared to ruin her reputation, Wei Ling would definitely shoot him to death. Moreover, if Qin Qingman and Wei Ling really got married, it would be a military marriage, and military marriages are protected by law in our country.
His expression changed and Liu Hechang couldn't utter a word.
Lin Cuixiang knew that Liu Hechang was a man of bad character, but she never expected to be slapped in the face like this in public.
When Qin Qingman hit Liu Hechang in the face, she was actually hitting her own face. Who made them husband and wife now?
Lin Cuixiang was so ashamed that she didn't have the face to stay in the supply and marketing cooperative any longer.
But looking at those large, glittering items around her, her eyes and her heart were filled with envy. She couldn't bear to really throw them away. If these things were placed at home when she got married, it would definitely give her a lot of face.
Let’s see who dares to say that she is unlucky in marriage or that she can’t marry a good man.
After figuring out the key point, Lin Cuixiang lowered her head.
Forget it, losing a little face is nothing, the actual benefits are more real.
"Comrade, pack up. It's getting late and we have other things to do." Qin Qingman saw that she had calmed down Liu Hechang and had no intention of staying in the supply and marketing cooperative. Instead, she reminded the salesperson that it was time to work.
"Comrade, wait a minute. I'll take the approval slip to the director for review."
The salesperson who received Qin Qingman immediately took out the account book from the counter and started recording it.
In the 1970s, you could buy general items at the supply and marketing cooperative as long as you had money and tickets. However, it was different for large items. In addition to money and tickets, you also had to get the approval of the director of the supply and marketing cooperative before you could actually buy them. If the director did not approve, you would not be able to buy them even if you had money and tickets.
Qin Qingman only learned about this situation at this time.
When I saw the salesperson writing the note, I waited patiently.
At this time, Liu Hechang had already pulled Lin Cuixiang away quietly.
His reputation and dignity had been trampled upon by Wei Ling and Qin Qingman in turn. It would be shameless for him to stay any longer.
The salesperson also saw Liu Hechang and Lin Cuixiang leaving, but did not try to keep them.
Everything in their supply and marketing cooperative is in great demand. Many families are getting married at the end of the year, and many people come every day to ask about large items. If Liu and Chang don't buy anything, naturally there will be others who will, so there may not be enough to sell.
"Comrade."
Just as Qin Qingman and Wei Ling were looking at other items, the salesperson who had just taken the approval slip to the director came back with an embarrassed smile on his face.
Qin Qingman could tell there was a problem at first glance.
"Comrade, um..." The salesperson didn't know how to start.
Qin Qingman didn't want to waste time, so she asked directly: "Comrade, what do you want to say?"
The salesperson saw Qin Qingman had spoken and knew that it was pointless to procrastinate, so he quickly said, "Comrade, this is what's going on. Several of our bicycles have been reserved in advance, and the director has also received the deposit. Can you hold off for a few days? I'll notify you as soon as the next batch of bicycles arrives and keep them for you."
Qin Qingman originally thought that the watch had been reserved for someone else, but she didn't expect it was a bicycle.
There is snow all over the mountain for half a year, and the bicycles they buy can only be ridden for half a year. It doesn't really make much sense, but if you don't have the time, then forget it.
But Wei Ling was unwilling to let Qin Qingman down. "Qingman, I'll ask someone to go to the provincial capital and buy you a car."
He remembered that Zuo Gaopeng seemed to have a relative working in the supply and marketing cooperative in the provincial capital, so he must have some connections.
Qin Qingman was touched by Wei Ling's love for her, but a bicycle was not a necessity for her. She had to show kindness and give face, so she said, "Ah Ling, let's discuss this when we get back. Let's buy back the ones that are in stock first."
"Okay." Wei Ling obeyed Qin Qingman's orders completely.
If Liu Hechang hadn't interfered before, he would never have had the final say in shopping.
Qin Qingman discussed it with Wei Ling and told the salesperson, "Comrade, if there are no bicycles, forget it. We'll come back next time."
"Okay, wait a moment, we'll pack the rest for you."
The salesperson had been paying attention to the expressions of Qin Qingman and Wei Ling, and got a definite answer. She had a very good impression of Qin Qingman who did not make things difficult for her.
While directing the staff to help pack, they returned the money and tickets for the bicycle to Qin Qingman.
He even counted it several times, and only pushed it to Qin Qingman after making sure there was no mistake.
"Comrade, please check and see if there is anything wrong."
Qin Qingman did not pretend to be generous, but carefully counted them, and only put them back into her bag after she saw that there was nothing wrong. Then she said to the salesperson, "Comrade, you are very careful. There is nothing wrong at all. I have refunded them all."
"That's good, comrade. Do you want to wear this watch or should I wrap it for you?"
The salesperson asked one more question.
Generally speaking, people who buy watches like to wear them right away. She was not sure about Qin Qingman's situation, so she just asked.
"Comrade, please pack it for me." Qin Qingman was reluctant to throw away the watch, but she did not let Wei Ling down.
"Okay, I'll pack it for you." Although the salesperson was surprised by Qin Qingman's choice, he was very respectful. He quickly took out the packaging box and started packing.
The salesperson was quite fast. He packed up all the things Qin Qingman and her friends had bought in just a few minutes. He even helped deliver the sewing machine and radio to the jeep because he thought it was the supply and marketing cooperative's fault that Qin Qingman didn't buy a bicycle.
Qin Qingman carried the watch bag herself.
"Comrade, please leave your address. I'll have someone bring you a letter when the bike arrives." The salesperson liked Qin Qingman's straightforwardness very much. He took the initiative to ask for help and introduced himself at the same time. "Comrade, my name is Liu Xia, and I'm from the county town."
Qin Qingman knew how arrogant the people working in the supply and marketing cooperatives were.
Usually, others beg them for help, and they rarely take the initiative to show their kindness. In response to Liu Xia's kindness, she politely left her address information.
Even though a salesperson is just someone who sells things, there are many benefits to building a good relationship with such a person.
Qin Qingman accepted the relationship that was offered to her with satisfaction.
"You're such a cute kid. Come, let me give you some candy." Before parting, Liu Xia took out a few fruit candies from her pocket and handed them to Chuchu. She also touched Chuchu's little face. She was so cute.
Chu Chu, who was being 'flirted with', looked at Qin Qingman with the candy in her hand.
He didn't dare to take it without his sister's permission.
"Comrade Qin, take them. They're just a few candies. My kid eats too much candy and I'm afraid his teeth will fall out. So I'll give a few to you, comrade, to sweeten his mouth." Liu Xia made up a reason for giving away the few candies.
Since the other party had said this, it was impossible for Qin Qingman not to appreciate it.
After thinking for a while, she took out an orange from Wu Zheng's pocket and put it on the counter.
This orange is much more valuable than the few candies that Liu Xia gave Chuchu, because it is fresh fruit. In the north at this time of year, the fruits are either pears frozen in the snow or canned. If there are fresh fruits, they must have been shipped from the south.
Such value is self-evident.
Looking at the oranges on the counter, not only Liu Xia's eyes widened, but the other sales clerks were also shocked and envious.
"Comrade Qin, I can't accept such a valuable gift from you." Liu Xia didn't dare to accept it.
I really dare not accept it.
Qin Qingman had always wanted to make friends with Liu Xia, so how could she let a gift she had given go back? She held Liu Xia's arm and smiled very gently, "Comrade Liu Xia, this orange is for your boy. Don't refuse it on your boy's behalf. If you refuse, my brother will be embarrassed to accept your candy."
"This……"
Liu Xia didn't know what to say.
"Comrade Liu Xia, please accept it. Although we just met today, I feel that we get along very well. For the sake of our relationship, if you don't accept this orange, you are looking down on a country boy like me." Qin Qingman was able to earn a fortune for herself in the future, so of course she had good eloquence.
Liu Xia had no reason to refuse, and she accepted Qin Qingman's gift with a more sincere smile. At the same time, she secretly thought that if there was any good news in the supply and marketing cooperative in the future, she must tell her good sister Qin Qingman.
Just like that, Qin Qingman won Liu Xia's sincerity with just an orange.
"Qingman, let's go take wedding photos." Wei Ling felt that the marriage certificate would be more perfect if it had a photo of the couple.
"good."
Qin Qingman also wanted to leave precious images in this era.
As a result, just as they walked out of the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Lin Cuixiang, who had been hiding somewhere before, suddenly jumped out. If Wei Ling had not retracted his legs quickly, Lin Cuixiang would have been kicked more than ten meters away.
Faced with Lin Cuixiang who suddenly rushed out, Qin Qingman's family all looked unhappy.
Lin Cuixiang's face also looked unhappy.
She was frightened by the murderous aura emanating from Wei Ling.
Wei Ling was a general on the battlefield in his previous life. Although he killed countless people, many enemies died at his hands. He was born with a murderous aura. Just now, when Lin Cuixiang suddenly rushed out, the aura he had deliberately concealed exploded in an instant, scaring Lin Cuixiang so much that her face turned pale and her legs trembled.
Qin Qingman looked at Lin Cuixiang, whose face was as pale as a ghost, and felt deep sympathy for a second in her heart.
Then he held up a finger and said, "Double it."
Qin Qingman's words startled Lin Cuixiang, who subconsciously exclaimed, "Aren't you trying to steal money?"
"Do you want love?" Qin Qingman was confident.
"I... I can't make the decision." Lin Cuixiang trembled and moved away from Wei Ling, but her desire for the watch made her bargain with Qin Qingman in the end, "Comrade, I'll add thirty yuan, is that okay with you?"
Thirty yuan can buy a lot of things, which is really a lot in the countryside.
Qin Qingman glanced at Lin Cuixiang and asked, "Do you think I'm someone who needs those thirty yuan?"
Lin Cuixiang was silent.
Judging from Qin Qingman's attire, she did look like someone who was short of thirty yuan, but when she thought of the money and bills that Qin Qingman had taken out from the supply and marketing cooperative before, she felt that she was insulting Qin Qingman by giving her the thirty yuan.
"Make way, comrade. We are in a hurry. We won't stay long."
Qin Qingman walked around Lin Cuixiang and planned to leave.
After listening for a while while holding Chuchu, Wei Ling already knew what was going on. In fact, he had already seen that Qin Qingman was not interested in the watch that everyone had tried on, so it didn't matter to him how Qin Qingman dealt with him at this time.
"Comrade, don't go. Don't go."
Seeing Qin Qingman was about to leave, Lin Cuixiang quickly reached out her hand to pull Qin Qingman, but she was so frightened by Wei Ling's gaze that she trembled all over and raised the price on her own initiative, "Comrade, I'll add a little more, fifty, fifty yuan, I really can't afford the extra."
"I won't sell it for double the price or even a cent less."
Qin Qingman was still angry about Liu Hechang's previous interference in the supply and marketing cooperative, otherwise she would not have planned to buy this watch.
In the middle of winter, the price Qin Qingman offered made Lin Cuixiang sweat on her forehead.
Just when she was about to complain to Qin Qingman, Qin Qingman spoke before her: "Comrade, let me be frank with you. I have no grudge against you, and I have no grudge against you. I was going to give you the watch when you first asked, but your man is so..."
Sometimes the technique lies in saying only half the words.
Lin Cuixiang immediately recalled in her mind all the ugly behaviors Liu Hechang had shown towards Wei Ling. Her face turned red with shame. She felt that she would be unfair to Qin Qingman if she did not compensate her.
"Comrade, you are not the head of the family, so why do you have to worry about it? You don't have to bear the mistakes of your man. If your man is still a man, he should marry you in a manly way instead of not even being willing to buy you a watch." Qin Qingman just wanted to make Liu Hechang bleed heavily.
After hearing what Qin Qingman said, Lin Cuixiang immediately thought of her previous marriage.
She had no money, no food, and was not valued enough by her husband's family. Moreover, she was bullied as only a daughter after her husband died. Otherwise, how could she have liked Liu Hechang?
Living with a man like Liu Hechang is like fighting with a tiger.
No matter how much money is saved, it has nothing to do with her. After marriage, Liu Hechang will definitely not let her be the head of the family.
"Comrade, I will only double the money. As for how much you can get, it depends on your ability." Qin Qingman planted a seed in Lin Cuixiang's heart.
In the original plot, Liu Hechang was stingy and abused the original owner. Although her arrival in this life changed her fate, Qin Qingman felt uncomfortable whenever she thought of the original owner in the original plot, and could not let go of Liu Hechang.
Qin Qingman's words successfully seduced Lin Cuixiang.
Lin Cuixiang kept thinking.
The fact that she was able to persuade Liu Hechang to buy her a watch shows that she has a certain grasp of Liu Hechang's character. Rather than just looking at the Liu family's money but not being able to use it, it would be better for her to make plans for herself.
She had to take advantage of Liu Hechang's interest in her, otherwise she would be really bored and it would be difficult for her to get any more money from him.
Licking her dry lips, Lin Cuixiang was moved. "Comrade, I'll come find you there later."
Qin Qingman smiled and said, "Half an hour later, you're still here. I'll just wait for a while. If you don't come, I'll leave."
"It's a deal." Lin Cuixiang gritted her teeth and ran away.
Watching Lin Cuixiang's receding back, Qin Qingman looked towards Wei Ling. She was actually a little nervous at this moment, because the watch was bought for her by Wei Ling, but she sold it at double the price in front of the gift giver, which was a humiliation for the gift giver.
"I understand." Wei Ling spoke before Qin Qingman.
Worried that Qin Qingman would overthink, he said very understandingly: "Once something is given to you, it belongs to you. You have the right to deal with it. I don't mind." It was not a gift made by him personally, so the value of this watch was not important in his mind.
Qin Qingman never expected Wei Ling to say such a thing.
She found it a little difficult to understand Wei Ling's train of thought.
How could a normal person not care about the gifts he or she gives out? Gifts given out represent thoughts and feelings. If the thoughts are wasted, no one would feel happy. If one is too straightforward, the two parties might even become enemies.
Qin Qingman, who couldn't figure it out, simply asked out loud the doubts in her mind.
After listening to Qin Qingman's words, Wei Ling finally understood what Qin Qingman was worried about.
As the eldest son of a duke, in his previous life, when he gave gifts, he would just ask the butler to prepare them and then give him the gift list for his review. He had never chosen gifts himself, so he did not have the worries that Qin Qingman had.
I don’t know if it’s too late to show off now.
Qin Qingman also knew that she had done something wrong. She had made such a decision without seeking Wei Ling's consent.
But she really hated Liu Hechang.
When she thought about the fate of the original owner, she had a sense of split. She always felt that there might be more to her and the original owner than just a book journey. Maybe there was some kind of connection between them.
"A Ling, I'm sorry." Qin Qingman's mood suddenly became depressed.
She actually didn't care how much the watch sold for, but she just wanted to make Liu Hechang unhappy.
"I understand, Qingman, don't blame yourself. I really don't care. I can see that you don't like that watch. I will never force you to buy something you don't like. Instead, I want to thank you for protecting me in front of others. Otherwise, you could have refused to buy the watch at the beginning instead of agreeing to buy it for my sake."
Wei Ling took Qin Qingman's hand and looked at her with sincerity.
Seeing Wei Ling like this, Qin Qingman finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time was extremely glad that Wei Ling was so reasonable.
She feels it's worth it to have a husband like this.
"A Ling, it's great to marry you." Qin Qingman gave Wei Ling a brilliant smile.
Wei Ling's earlobes turned red because of Qin Qingman's words, "Qingman, marrying you is the blessing of my life."
Such direct words made the couple blush a little.
Chu Chu, who was sandwiched between the two of them, had already covered her eyes with her hands. Although her sister and brother-in-law did not do anything out of line, she felt as if she had heard something she shouldn't have heard.
Seeing Chuchu acting weird, Qin Qingman reached out and tickled the child's head.
Chuchu was protected by a thick cotton coat, and was not actually hurt that badly, but he still laughed out loud.
With Chuchu's smile, the atmosphere between Qin Qingman and Wei Ling returned to normal.
Because she had an appointment with Lin Cuixiang, Qin Qingman did not waste time and asked Xiaoshi to drive them to the photo studio.
In that era, material life was not sufficient and ordinary people did not have many spiritual demands. Apart from those with some financial resources or those preparing to get married, photo studios were actually very deserted.
There was no one else in the photo studio when Qin Qingman and the others arrived.
Qin Qingman and the others didn't take many photos, just two black and white ones.
One is a photo of Qin Qingman and Wei Ling, which is affixed to the marriage certificate, and the other is a family photo of the three of them.
After taking the photos and paying the money, I had to wait three days for the photos to be developed.
The road between Kaoshantun and Baicheng is difficult to travel, and Qin Qingman and her friends did not plan to come back in three days, so they asked the master of the photo studio to help mail it to Hongqi Town.
It is much closer from Kaoshantun to the town, making it convenient for them to get it.
The photographer carefully wrote down Qin Qingman's address and promised to mail the photos to her after they were developed.
After completing this important task, Qin Qingman and his team's purpose of entering the county town would be fulfilled.
Wei Ling looked at the sky and said, "Qingman, it's getting late. Let's go to the state-owned hotel to see if there's anything to eat."
Originally Qin Qingman wanted to say that she was not hungry, but when she thought of Wei Ling's appetite, she nodded silently in agreement.
Chuchu even reached out and touched her belly very directly.
They had breakfast early and were indeed a little hungry now.
The state-owned hotel was right next to the supply and marketing cooperative, so it did not affect Qin Qingman's transaction with Lin Cuixiang. She ordered four bowls of noodles, and before the noodles were served, Qin Qingman ran out to make a deal with Lin Cuixiang.
In more than an hour, Qin Qingman earned 126 yuan.
With the money, watch and ticket, Qin Qingman returned to the state-owned hotel with satisfaction, and then the family of three had a meal of noodles that was highly criticized.
The noodles are expensive, but not very tasty.
The pork fat in the noodles was a bit fishy, and there were only a few thin slices of pork, some bean sprouts, and some chopped green onions. It was a far cry from Qin Qingman's cooking.
With frowns on their faces, the family of three managed to finish the meal.
As for Xiao Shi, it was his first time eating in a county state-owned hotel and he thought the food tasted good, at least a little better than the food cooked in the division headquarters cafeteria.
After hearing what Xiao Shi said, Qin Qingman and her brother looked at Wei Ling with sympathy.
Wei Ling: ...Actually, the food in their division headquarters cafeteria is not that bad. Xiao Shi is exaggerating.
But for his own benefit, he did not explain.
On their way back they passed the railway station.
Although Baicheng is not big, the transportation is quite convenient and there are direct trains.
Originally, Qin Qingman and his car just drove past, but the noise coming from outside attracted Qin Qingman's attention.
Chuchu had never been on a train before, and her eyes were fixed on looking out the window.
Not far from the entrance of the train station, a girl was being pulled by several people and was not allowed to leave. After watching for a few seconds, Qin Qingman suddenly said, "Stop."
Xiaoshi is a soldier and is used to following orders.
