We started packing up at 3 p.m. I left half a pound of meat and a few steamed buns for my second brother, and took the rest home to eat.
Old Chen delivers fresh meat and pig's blood every morning as promised. If he doesn't have any pigs left to slaughter, he will notify them in advance to leave some extra meat so that they can work together to make money.
Since opening the shop, the food at home has been getting better and better, and everyone in the family has started to gain weight, except for me, who seems to have lost weight again. Seeing that my clothes are getting too big and baggy, it's time to go out and buy some new clothes.
I don't plan to take out the clothes in the space to wear; they're too conspicuous. Even if I were to take them out, I'd wait until I go to a big city.
There was an extra bicycle today, and Qiao Xiaoni rode it alone, following behind the group.
Su Chenhao took the opportunity to check the brakes while riding his new bike to see if they needed adjusting.
Qiao Dashan was the most tired, carrying two people on his bike, but he enjoyed it and didn't feel too tired. As he got closer to home, he rode much faster than before.
Qiao Haisheng had already fallen asleep from exhaustion. Tao Chunfang covered him with the thick cotton-padded coat that was in the car, afraid that he would catch a cold. The temperature had dropped rapidly recently, and it felt a bit cold to ride in the car wearing only one layer of clothing. She was thinking of putting on an extra layer tomorrow morning.
As soon as they arrived at their doorstep, before they could even enter, they saw an uninvited guest: Liu Hemiao, the village chief's wife, standing at the door looking at them with disbelief mixed with a hint of regret in her eyes.
Liu Hemiao felt humiliated and went to ask for the bicycle back, only to see that the other person had returned with a brand new bicycle, which made her extremely jealous.
The recent events surrounding Old Qiao's family have been the subject of all sorts of rumors. Some say they found money on the road, made a fortune, and went to the city to open a shop.
Some people say that Su Chenhao married into the family, gave them a large sum of money, and then went to the city to open a shop.
They have all sorts of things, and most importantly, they opened a shop in the city. She even inquired a little about it; business is booming, and she heard that if you go late in the morning, you might not get any!
Seeing the Qiao family making money made her anxious, and she resented her husband for not knowing how to use his skills. Why didn't he get involved in such a good business?
Qiao Fuli would always sit there silently, and when he got annoyed, he would leave. Today, he happened to pass by Old Qiao's house, and thinking about how his own bicycle hadn't been returned for so long, he suddenly had an idea.
I wanted to get closer to Li Meihua; if I succeeded, we could discuss investing in her company, and then her family could just sit back and wait for their share of the profits at the end of the year.
The idea was wonderful, and I had just struck up a casual conversation with Li Meihua when I was angered by what she said.
What? My daughter got into university! She's sure to have a bright future.
She opened a shop in town, and business was booming with a constant stream of customers. How did she manage to keep her two children well-behaved?
Unable to get a word in edgewise, she finally said goodbye in frustration. Just as she reached the door, she saw them return, and Qiao Xiaoni was even riding a brand new bicycle...
Qiao Haisheng, as the head of the family, got out of the car and said with a smile,
"What brings you here today?"
"I had less chores at home, so I came over to hang out. Did you just come back from closing up shop?" Liu Hemiao squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, her eyes fixed on the new bicycle.
A new bicycle costs more than 80 yuan! They only worked for a few days and bought a new bike. The Qiao family has really struck it rich... I'm so jealous I'm starting to feel sour again.
