Chapter 88: Dragging my cousin to the provincial capital TltS (jhssd)
"Mom, this is what Dad taught me!"
"How does your father know this?"
"There are books on the subject. There are books on tailoring and sweater making. I can do that, too!"
Qin Qing hadn't lied to Tang Min about this. Qin Changyuan had always loved reading, and she had a wide variety of books. She had loved making clothes since she was a child, and she had indeed learned a lot from reading. However, her real practical experience came from her previous life. Her only regret was that she had never attended school to study fashion in a systematic way. She could imitate and copy, but design was her weakness.
"That's right. Your father used to have so many books that they could fill an entire wooden box. If the flood hadn't washed them all away, they'd still be here."
Qin Qing managed to fool Tang Min, and only Fang Zhiwei kept his eyes on Qin Qing without saying a word.
She measured the size with her hands, which is not something you can learn from a book.
When they got home, Lei Zi was carrying the fish back home. Qin Qing saw that he was still wearing thin clothes and grabbed him.
"Come on, Leizi, change!"
Qin Qing took out a coat and handed it to Lei Zi, who quickly waved his hand, "No, no, Sister Qing, this is too expensive!"
This coat is 35 yuan a piece!
Although it was much cheaper than the coats in department stores, the price still made Lei Zi gasp and he didn't dare to buy it.
"Put it on. What if you get frozen?"
"It's okay, Sister Qing. I'm used to it. I can handle it."
Lei Zi wanted to refuse, but Fang Zhiwei took the coat from Qin Qing's hand and put it on him.
"Just wear it if you're told to. Your sister Qing is tired from holding it up for so long."
As soon as Fang Zhiwei spoke, Lei Zi didn't dare to refute anymore and could only put on the coat obediently. Once he put on the coat, he felt much more energetic.
"Sister Qing, this coat is really warm."
"As long as it's warm, it's fine. Fang Zhiwei will accompany me to the provincial capital tomorrow, so you can stay home and look after the fish pond."
"Alright, I'll follow Sister Qing's instructions. Brother Fang, we have to clean up tomorrow. We can't lose to those city people!"
Lei Zi glanced at Fang Zhiwei. It seemed that the appearance of his love rival had made Brother Fang alert.
"You're the only one who talks too much! Come on! Come learn boxing from me!"
Fang Zhiwei took Lei Zi and left. An hour later, Lei Zi, exhausted, came back panting and with his head hung down, and lay down on the stool without any effort.
He decided that he would never dare to tease Brother Fang again, as this was simply asking for trouble.
Lei Zi did not go home that night. He slept in the fish pond hut with Fang Zhiwei. Before dawn, Fang Zhiwei got up, washed, shaved, and cleaned himself up.
Lei Zi half-closed his eyes, watched Fang Zhiwei clean up, and muttered softly.
"As expected, when rivals meet, they become extremely jealous..."
Fang Zhiwei glanced over and Lei Zi immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Fang Zhiwei snorted coldly and walked towards the Fang family.
Qin Qing and Tang Min also got up early. Tang Min made breakfast and let the two of them eat. Then she stuffed a few hard-boiled eggs into Fang Zhiwei's pocket and let them go to the provincial capital with peace of mind.
Fang Zhiwei drove Qin Qing and the two of them went straight to the Tang family and knocked on the door. Qin Qing didn't bother to talk to Wang Xueping who opened the door. She quickly woke up Tang Zhimei and took her away.
When Tang Zhimei came to her senses, she was sitting on the back seat of a bicycle carrying a backpack weighing about 80 kilograms. The bumpy mountain road gave her a headache.
She looked up and saw Fang Zhiwei's broad back in front of her, but it was straight, keeping a clear distance between them.
Qin Qing was sitting on the front bumper, carefully held in Fang Zhiwei's arms.
"Are you uncomfortable sitting like this?" Fang Zhiwei asked gently.
"No, wouldn't it be too tiring for you to carry two people?"
The bike bar under Qin Qing had been wrapped with cotton cloth by Fang Zhiwei a long time ago, so it was not hard at all when she sat on it.
"This little weight is nothing. If it hurts, tell me and I'll ride slower."
"It's okay, not at all."
The two of them only had each other in their eyes, and the sweet atmosphere between their words could be felt clearly even by Tang Zhimei who was sitting in the back seat.
Bang!!
The bicycle shook when it passed over a raised stone. Fang Zhiwei held the bicycle with his right hand and half-hugged Qin Qing with his left hand steadily and powerfully.
Tang Zhimei, who was sitting in the back seat, was in a miserable state. Her buttocks left the cushion, and the plastic sheet covering the backpack opened slightly, letting the water containing the fish rush out and splash all over her head.
"Ah!!! Qin Qing, stop right there!"
Tang Zhimei couldn't stand it anymore and yelled loudly. Fang Zhiwei pushed the ground with one foot and the car stopped.
"Cousin, what's wrong?"
Tang Zhimei got off the car, carrying a backpack, and pointed at Qin Qing angrily, "You woke me up before dawn, and made me carry this broken backpack while I was still dazed. You two are so sweet, while I have to suffer in the back! Why?"
She was so angry that she threw the backpack on the ground. Seeing that the water was about to spill out, Qin Qing quickly jumped out of the car and held the backpack steady.
"It's really hard. Cousin, why don't you go back?"
Qin Qing didn't even try to persuade him. She just put the backpack on her back and sat directly on the back seat of the bicycle.
Fang Zhiwei didn't say anything more and just stepped on the pedal to get on his bike.
"Ah, hey, hey, what are you doing?!"
Tang Zhimei quickly grabbed the bicycle.
"Don't you think it's hard, cousin? It's true. You are so delicate and it's not suitable for you to carry an eighty-pound fish. Then don't go to the provincial capital, and don't see Brother Gu."
"Qin Qing, don't you need me to help you persuade Senior Brother Gu?!"
"Yes, but I can't make it too difficult for my cousin, right? Fang Zhiwei, do you think I can go find Qian Xiaoduo? She's also a highly gifted student, pretty and good at talking. She'll definitely be able to convince Gu Jingmo."
Qin Qing deliberately mentioned Qian Xiaoduo, the city girl wearing leather shoes who came to the fish stall last time. She was dressed fashionably and arrogantly. Tang Zhimei must not get along with her. Using her to provoke Tang Zhimei would definitely be effective.
"What's the point of looking for Qian Xiaoduo? She's just a poor idiot whose family has a little money!"
Whenever Qian Xiaoduo was mentioned, Tang Zhimei hated her to the core. She always acted like a city girl and looked down on country people.
"So what should we do? The three of us are going to the provincial capital to sell fish together. The person sitting in the back seat will have to work hard carrying the fish. How about, cousin, you sit in the front?"
Qin Qing pointed deliberately, and Fang Zhiwei frowned. This could only be Qin Qing's exclusive seat, and he would not allow other women to sit there!
"She doesn't..."
"No! If someone sees me, will I still have any shame?"
Before Fang Zhiwei could finish his words, Tang Zhimei quickly shook her head and said no. They were so close to each other, and if someone saw them, she wouldn't know what to say. She was not as shameless as Qin Qing.
"So what should we do?"
Qin Qing blinked her big eyes and looked at Tang Zhimei with an innocent look on her face.
"Okay! I'll sit in the back!"
"Then this fish..."
"I'll carry it!"
These three words almost popped out from between Tang Zhimei's teeth.
"Thank you for your help, cousin!"
Qin Qing smiled sweetly and sat back on the handlebar very skillfully. She didn't make any move, and Fang Zhiwei was also not active in sitting on the bicycle. Tang Zhimei could only pick up the backpack by herself, put it on her back, and then sit on the back seat.
"Let's go!"
Fang Zhiwei kicked out directly at such a fast speed that Tang Zhimei was almost thrown out.
She instinctively reached out and hugged Fang Zhiwei's waist, but Fang Zhiwei's voice came out coldly.
"Hold on to the seat, don't touch me!"
His voice was so cold that it seemed as if he wanted to chop her hands off. Tang Zhimei's heart trembled involuntarily. Although she was dissatisfied, she still clasped her hands on the seat obediently.
Along the way, I don’t know if Fang Zhiwei did it on purpose, but there were flat roads in some places, but he insisted on driving on the raised gravel road.
After a bumpy ride, by the time they arrived at the mountain city, Tang Zhimei's face had turned pale. She couldn't bear it any longer, so she forcibly stopped the car, rushed out, and ran to the side of the road to vomit violently.
"Can't you just ride steady?"
"No." Fang Zhiwei replied expressionlessly.
Tang Zhimei was so angry that her face turned pale and her shoulder was in pain. She put down the backpack and reached out to touch it. She found two bloody marks from being strangled, which hurt when she touched it.
"I quit! I don't want to carry this broken backpack anymore!"
