Although Shen Qingqing's maternal grandmother didn't particularly like her son-in-law Shen Rongzhou at first, when she learned that they wanted to buy a house, she busied herself asking around at several places before finally finding out about the house they were currently living in.
It takes twenty minutes to ride a bicycle from their house to their grandmother's house, but it only takes ten minutes if Shen Rongzhou rides a motorcycle.
Sitting on the back of the motorcycle, Shen Qingqing watched the shops rushing past on both sides of the street, and all the distant memories from her past life came back to her.
She secretly rubbed against Shen Rongzhou's back to wipe away her tears.
What happened in the past life is the past life. Now that she has a second chance in this life, she will never let her family fall to the same state of disintegration as in the past!
Soon, we arrived at Grandma's house.
Shen Qingqing nimbly jumped off the motorcycle and went to open the door with practiced ease: "Grandma! Grandpa! Uncle! Aunt! Chun Chun! I'm here!"
At that time, my maternal grandmother's house was not the apartment building that my uncle later bought; it was a rather quaint old house.
Pushing open the door, you'll see a large, slightly faded "Fu" (福, meaning good fortune) character sticker covering the wall.
Shen Qingqing quickly turned and rushed through the small door that had opened to the side.
She was greeted by her grandfather, who knelt down in front of her with a big smile. Shen Qingqing rushed into the old man's arms without stopping and was picked up.
"Grandpa~" Shen Qingqing rubbed against her grandfather's cheek, calling out sweetly and affectionately.
Everyone was used to it. Shen Qingqing had grown up with her maternal grandparents since she was little. Her grandfather took her from a tiny little thing that could fit in a single sofa to an old age when she was old enough to go to elementary school. Through wind and rain, he never neglected this child. No wonder they were so close to her!
Grandma carried Shen Hong out of the house. Shen Hong is only two years old now.
Seeing Shen Qingqing being picked up, he muttered, "How old are you? Why are you still being carried? Old man, aren't there two chicken wings left in the kitchen? Why don't you take them out for the child to eat!"
“Your aunt went to her parents’ house yesterday and brought these back. Isn’t this what you love to eat the most? I was thinking that your grandfather would bring them to your house for you tomorrow.”
Shen Qingqing was not put down by her grandfather, who carried her to the kitchen. Hearing her grandmother's nagging, she was not annoyed, but smiled and leaned on her grandfather's shoulder.
Grandpa Zhang Mingfang brought out chicken wings and saw his granddaughter coming down the stairs holding onto the railing. "Chun Chun, Yang Yang, come here, come here, have some chicken wings!"
When Li Chunchun saw Shen Qingqing, her eyes lit up, and she rushed towards Shen Qingqing with her short legs, calling out, "Cousin!"
Shen Qingqing was also very happy to see Li Chunchun. The three sisters climbed onto the dining table and chairs together, chattering and eating.
Shen Hong had already been taken into Li Xunli's arms. The child still recognized his mother and stayed in Li Xunli's arms, refusing to get down.
We arrived at my maternal grandparents' house a little before 7 a.m. and played there until almost 9 p.m. before heading back.
This time, Shen Qingqing sat on the gas tank of the men's motorcycle, while Shen Yangyang, who was already getting sleepy, and Shen Hong, who had already fallen asleep, sat behind her.
The motorcycle was going a bit fast, and Shen Qingqing, who was lying in front of it, felt her face almost frozen by the wind.
She recalled the car her father bought after he took over the cafeteria in her previous life. Although she gets carsick, she couldn't deny that having a car was much more comfortable.
And... Dad really loves driving.
Having experienced the financial hardship of running a shop that never made ends meet in her previous life, Shen Qingqing fully understood that her family lacked the talent for business and that they still had to work honestly.
However, her mother didn't graduate from elementary school, and her father didn't graduate from junior high school, so it wasn't easy for them to find a good job.
Shen Qingqing was lost in thought when a loud bang from a horn startled her so much that her heart nearly jumped out of her mouth.
Shen Rongzhou skillfully swerved the car to the side of the road, and then a large truck roared past them.
Shen Qingqing stared blankly at the truck as it drove further and further away.
Chaozhou has many handicrafts, and a large number of handicrafts means a large number of transport teams are needed.
Learning to drive costs several thousand yuan, which is unaffordable for many families. Therefore, there is still a shortage of drivers in Chaocheng. A driver can earn at least two or three thousand yuan in base salary, not including extra commissions for driving with other vehicles...
Li Xunli and Shen Rongzhou both work in a garment factory. Li Xunli earns a maximum of about a thousand yuan a month, while Shen Rongzhou, a team leader, can earn up to two thousand yuan a month when things are going well. Together, the couple earns just over three thousand yuan.
Not to mention that the garment factory's performance is getting worse and worse, and the total wages are probably less than three thousand.
Shen Qingqing pondered how to persuade her father to learn to drive and then switch careers to driving a large truck.
She dared not speak for anything else, but when it came to driving, Shen Qingqing was absolutely certain that her father was the most reliable!
Fast and stable!
There are porcelain makers in Chaozhou too, and who wouldn't want a fast and reliable driver!
Most importantly, her father could no longer stay at home and not move around.
Shen Qingqing doesn't remember exactly when Shen Rongzhou got his lumbar disc herniation, but if he continues to sit for long periods making shoelaces after being laid off, just like in his previous life, he will definitely get it again!
Having figured out that she wanted to persuade Shen Rongzhou to make a change, Shen Qingqing began to plan how to subtly influence Shen Rongzhou.
If we could persuade Li Xunli, it would be much easier!
Although Shen Rongzhou was not very capable, he was honest and obedient, and did not have many ideas.
The ten-minute journey wasn't long, and before Shen Qingqing could figure out how to convince her parents, she was home.
Shen Yangyang was already asleep. Shen Rongzhou told Shen Qingqing to go downstairs first, as he wanted to hold his younger sister.
