Li Meihua thought that her daughter's wedding was still several years away, and it was a bit early to start making furniture now.
"Nizi, we need money everywhere right now, let's postpone making this furniture!"
Qiao Xiaoni took a kitchen knife and smashed a few cloves of garlic.
"I don't plan to use it myself, but to sell it, just like that snakeskin last time. With a little tinkering, I can make a lot of money. It's just that this furniture won't sell in town."
I plan to go to the city with Su Chenhao to sell furniture and buy some clothes. We're leaving soon, so if we can get a good price, we can cover our expenses and won't need to bring any money from home.
There are so many places to spend money these days; we need to keep some money at home for things like crossing the river.
Li Meihua thought her daughter was really amazing; she could make money with just a few simple ideas, and now she was getting into the furniture business.
"If we can't sell them, we'll bring them back for your wedding. Anyway, our family will need to make furniture for you then. We just don't know where you'll be getting married."
Qiao Xiaoni wrapped her arms around Li Meihua's waist and said, "I will definitely come back for the wedding. I'm sure this set of furniture will sell. I'll add some things to the house then, so I can leave with peace of mind."
Li Meihua patted her daughter's hand, "You don't need to worry about things at home. Your sister-in-law and I will take care of things. We'll have your sister-in-law come with you to work when we open the day after tomorrow. You can learn as much as you can."
Qiao Xiaoni let go of her hand. "I think my sister-in-law is quite quick to learn. She'll have no problem learning my skills."
Tao Chunfang got up from the stool. "Don't say that. I know I have some skills. I'd be content if I could learn even half of your skills." She opened the pot lid, and a burst of steam came out. Inside were steamed bean buns.
Qiao Xiaoni looked at the tiny bean bun; it looked very cute.
"Sister-in-law, your steamed bean buns are better than the ones sold at the steamed bun shop in town."
Tao Chunfang laughed, "Don't even mention my steamed bean bun skills, there are really few people in the whole village who can compare to me."
Li Meihua brought a basin over to pick out the steamed bean buns from the pot.
"My child suddenly wanted to eat steamed buns with red bean filling today, so we made some for him since we saw there were some red beans inside. We put a lot of sugar in them, so they should be quite delicious."
Qiao Xiaoni looked at the small bean buns and thought they looked delicious. She touched one and found it was very hot, so she pulled her hand back.
Li Meihua said, "You silly child, wait until the steamed buns cool down before you eat them!"
"It looks delicious, so I couldn't resist." Qiao Xiaoni blew on her fingers, which were a little red but hadn't blistered.
Su Chenhao brought over a basin of cold water. "Put your hands in it for a bit, and you'll be fine in a little while."
Qiao Xiaoni nodded and put her hands in the basin of water. The burning sensation immediately disappeared. It seems that you really can't rush things!
After the steamed buns were cooked, Li Meihua made a pot of potato soup. She sprinkled cilantro on top when it was ready, and that completed today's meal.
The food was laid out on the table, and everyone sat together and enjoyed a lively dinner.
The Song family.
Looking at the porridge and pickled vegetables on the table, Song Min realized he couldn't eat anymore and looked up.
"I'm injured like this, and this is what you give me to eat?!"
Song Facai glanced at his good-for-nothing son and said, "It's good enough that we have something to eat. We don't have any money at home right now, so we should save every meal we can."
If you don't like it, go outside and find something to eat. Don't stay at home.
He had ruined his son, and now his own leg was crippled. Looking at his dilapidated home, he felt hopeless and was just living one day at a time.
