When Qian Xiang saw Qian Sheng walk in, he immediately stood up and offered Qian Sheng a warm seat. Qian Sheng sat by the fireplace and said with a smile, "Brother, sister-in-law, Jinxiu told me that she wants to hold a banquet for Duoduo and Qian Xiang's wife. I just came to discuss it and see which day would be suitable."
He Ying put down her needlework and looked at Qian Sheng, saying, "Second Uncle of the child, do you have any thoughts?"
Qian Sheng said, "The Little New Year is just a few days away, and we'll be slaughtering our New Year pig. I'm thinking of slaughtering it a day early this year, and then we'll decide whether to hold the feast on the 24th or the 25th."
He Ying immediately got off the floor and looked at the calendar on the wall, saying, "Well, there are only a few days left, I think it'll be the 25th. I still don't know how to prepare the dishes."
Qian Sheng said, "I plan to have Duoduo go to the county to find the purchasing agents of the state-run restaurants and ask them to bring some back for us when they go to buy vegetables."
Qian Xiang said, "I think it's a good idea. The purchasing manager of the state-run restaurant appreciates Duo Duo quite a bit. He has told me more than once that Duo Duo is the smartest little girl he has ever met!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Sheng smiled and said, "Perfect timing. It's almost Chinese New Year, and Secretary Lu doesn't need to go out of town for meetings or anything. I'll have Lao San ask him if he can come and have a meal with us."
Upon hearing this, Qian Cai rubbed his hands together and said, "Won't this cause a huge fuss?"
He Ying said, "Isn't it great that our Qian family has produced two college graduates?"
Qian Cai chuckled, "I'm just afraid the villagers will gossip!"
He Ying rolled her eyes and said, "Gossip? They're more likely to be spouting sour grapes. If they had that kind of energy, why don't they go and get a college graduate themselves? They don't have that ability, so all they can do is be sour grapes!"
Qian Sheng had experienced firsthand how formidable his sister-in-law was. In her youth, she was invincible in Beian Village, having challenged every girl of similar age in the village. However, now that her son had become the squad leader, she had become more restrained.
Zhen Qiao watched as everyone discussed this matter. She lowered her head and looked at her stomach. It had been more than a year since she got married, but there was no sign of pregnancy. Even her second sister-in-law was pregnant, but she was still empty-handed.
Guo Ni looked around and saw everyone busy with their own things, feeling a little embarrassed. Just as she was about to say something, Qian Xiang tugged at her sleeve. She looked up and saw her husband simply shaking his head slightly at her.
That evening, after the couple had finished their work, Guo Ni, panting, nestled in Qian Xiang's arms and whispered, "Brother Xiang, our family is so busy preparing for my college education, I feel a little embarrassed."
Qian Xiang hugged his wife, stroking her back with his large hand, and said softly, "Don't be embarrassed. This is all the result of your hard work. Without your tireless studying, you wouldn't have achieved such good results. Your parents would be so happy."
Guo Ni smiled and asked, "What about you? Are you scared?"
Qian Xiang lowered his head and kissed his wife's forehead, asking, "What are you afraid of?"
Guo Ni said with a smile, "There are many promising young people in the university!"
Qian Xiang slapped Guo Ni's smooth, plump buttocks with his large hand: "My Duoduo goes to school with you, she won't let you have this opportunity. Besides, can any of those men outside be as good as your man?"
Guo Ni blushed slightly when she was patted on the face. Just as she was about to retort after hearing Qian Xiang's words, she felt the man's passion. She could only hug his neck with both hands and sway with him in the waves. She didn't even know when she fell asleep!
Zhen Qiao was particularly enthusiastic in the evening, and she pulled Qian Gui to stay up on the kang (a heated brick bed) for half the night.
Panting, Qian Gui looked at Zhen Qiao, who was about to do it again, and grabbed her, saying, "What's wrong with you? What's gotten into you? I'm enjoying this too, but you're trying to drain me dry!"
Seeing Qian Gui's appearance, Zhen Qiao turned over and lay down dejectedly, remaining silent.
Qian Gui leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhen Qiao's eyes reddened: "We've been married for over a year, and we don't just sleep all night, but I'm not pregnant at all, even my sister-in-law is pregnant!"
Upon hearing what this was about, Qian Gui asked, "So, did Mom ask you? If she did, just say you don't want it."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Qiao immediately sat up and looked at Qian Gui, saying, "You don't want a child?"
Qian Gui was taken aback and said, "No, isn't it because you didn't want to? When we first got married, didn't you say you didn't want to have children so soon?"
Zhen Qiao said, "But I want it now."
Qian Gui immediately covered Zhen Qiao's mouth and said, "What are you shouting for? Do you want others to know what we're doing?"
Zhen Qiao remained silent, and Qian Gui said, "I thought Mother was urging you to have a child. Besides, having a child depends on fate. When the time is right, the child will come, won't it?"
Zhen Qiao remained silent, lay down, closed her eyes, and ignored Qian Gui.
Qian Gui looked at his wife with a puzzled expression. How could she be like this? When she wanted to have fun, she would cling to him endlessly, but when she didn't want to, she would ignore him completely.
While his second sister-in-law was asleep, Qian Duoduo quickly went to the farm to take a look around. He also did some business with his friends to earn some gold coins. He also saw the stamps he had exchanged with Liu Yanhong, especially the set "The Motherland's Mountains and Rivers Are All Red". Hehe, that will be a lot of money in the future!
This time, Ah Dai and I exchanged some herbs that we had never seen before, or rather, herbs that Qian Duoduo had never seen before.
She tried planting it in the yellow soil, but it didn't work. She casually tossed it aside on the edge of the red soil, and lo and behold, it showed signs of successful planting!
Because the planting was successful, a line of small characters appeared on the herb seedling: "Mingxin Grass, Level 1, Germination period: 24 hours".
Qian Duoduo was taken aback. "Mingxin Grass? What's it used for?"
She looked at this novel thing with a bit of confusion, because there were no such plants on the farm before, and even though they had been planted, she didn't know what they would look like when they matured!
Curious about the Mingxin Grass, Qian Duoduo fell asleep after leaving the farm!
The next morning, after getting up and having breakfast, Qian Duoduo, Qian Rao, and Wen Yugui rode in an oxcart towards the county town.
Qian Rao first pulled the blanket up over Qian Duoduo, then turned around and hugged Wen Yugui. He pulled the blanket up, and Wen Yugui felt a little sweet in her heart when she saw how considerate Qian Rao was to her.
After arriving in the county town, Qian Duoduo said, "Fourth Brother, I'll go to the state-run restaurant first. You accompany Fourth Sister-in-law to her aunt's house first, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to find me."
Qian Rao glanced at the state-run restaurant not far away, nodded, and left with Wen Yugui.
