Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the 1990s, and Yuanbao was old enough to go to kindergarten.
Li Qiumei used the money she earned to buy houses and land in several first-tier cities. After selling them in a few years, it would be enough to support her retirement and grandchildren.
She doesn't want to be a millionaire in this life, she just wants financial freedom.
My wish to travel around the world after my rebirth seems to have to wait until my ingots are bigger.
This year's Spring Festival is in January. Starting from December, Li Qiuxiang, Qian Wanwan and Qin Ruyue will hold their weddings one after another.
Li Qiumei had to go back early to attend the wedding.
December 8th was Qian Wanwan’s wedding day, and Li Qiumei returned to Beishan County the day before.
Li Qiuxiang is also preparing wedding supplies.
"Sister, I brought you two sets of wedding dresses.
According to your request, I made a red dress for you and bought you a bridal gown with the top and skirt separated.
Try it on quickly, and if there's anything that doesn't fit, I'll make some changes for you."
After trying them, Li Qiuxiang was delighted: "Qiumei, you have good taste, I like both sets.
Which one do you think I should wear?
"How about you wear a dress that's more formal and save the red skirt for the next day."
Li Qiuxiang nodded, carefully took off her skirt and hung it up.
"Qiumei, when will Yuanbao have his holiday?"
Li Qiumei straightened her skirt for her: "It's still early, it will be the middle of next month.
Sister, isn't Xiaopeng coming back today?"
Li Qiuxiang brought over a bowl of melon seeds with a pile of plastic bags on top.
“Today is Friday, I have to come back.
Lao Zhang and his daughter will come over to help pack the melon seeds soon."
Li Qiuxiang found a widower named Lao Zhang with a daughter. He was five years older than her and taught at No. 2 Middle School.
Li Qiumei had met Lao Zhang several times and felt relieved to see that he treated Li Qiuxiang very well.
"Sister, is it fashionable to put sunflower seeds in bags and give them to people who come to weddings?"
Li Qiuxiang brought over another bowl of candied peanuts: "Yes, they are packed in bags now, and when the time comes to give gifts, just hand over a bag to the person.
These past few days, Lao Zhang and I have to go to his place to decorate the new house at night, so we don’t have time to pack the bags.”
As she spoke, she lit a candle, took a plastic bag, filled it with melon seeds, peanuts, and candies, held it over the candle to heat it, and then sealed the bag.
Li Qiumei also followed her example and helped pack the bags.
Seeing that her sister seemed to be hesitant to speak, Li Qiumei asked her, "Sister, just tell me what's going on."
“Qiumei, I told you not to be angry.
Just a few days ago, Qiu Ming came to see me. He heard that I was getting married at the end of the year, so he came to ask.
He has already graduated from junior high school and is working in a car repair shop on Beimen Street, helping people remove tires.
I couldn't refuse, so I told him to come to my wedding on that day."
Li Qiuxiang finished speaking in one breath and looked at Li Qiumei with some uneasiness.
"Sister, aren't you worried that Hu Lanying and the others will come along?
I told Qiu Ming, and he promised not to tell my parents."
Li Qiumei sighed: "Sister, I have already told you that the three of them will always be in the same group.
Never give them any thought.”
Li Qiuxiang lowered her head and said, "When Lao Zhang and I were discussing marriage, you were the one who represented my family.
I thought if Qiu Ming came to the wedding, he would represent my parents and save Lao Zhang's mother from making all sorts of fuss.
Li Qiumei was stunned: "Sister, didn't you say that Lao Zhang's mother won't live with you?"
"Last month I had a headache and went to the city to see a doctor. He never came back. He said he would wait until we got married before leaving."
Li Qiumei frowned when she heard this: "Sister, when we got engaged, I told you that the old woman was not easy to get along with.
Moreover, she is obviously partial to her youngest son.
If she lived with you, you would definitely not be able to handle her."
Li Qiuxiang smiled and said, "It's okay. If I can't handle it, I'll just move back to my own house."
The house that Li Qiuxiang and Xiaopeng live in now was bought with money borrowed from Li Qiumei. It is a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment in the company.
Two years ago, just like in the previous life, the park converted Li Qiuxiang and other temporary workers into regular employees.
Now, the salary has increased several times, and there is no problem in supporting Li Qiuxiang and Zhou Xiaopeng.
Li Qiumei saw her sister like this and she had no choice but to say, "Then remember this: you will never gain respect from others by swallowing your anger."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Zhang came in with his daughter.
Lao Zhang is of medium build, a little fat, and a little bald. He always smiles.
His daughter Zhang Xiaoxi is about the same age as Xiaopeng. She is fair-skinned, with small but bright black eyes and delicate facial features. She tied her hair into a high ponytail today.
Lao Zhang put the bag in his hand on the table: "Qiumei is back? Xiaoxi, hurry up and call me auntie."
"Hello, auntie!" Zhang Xiaoxi called out obediently.
The father and daughter also sat down to help pack the bags.
Li Qiumei stood up and took out a red sweater and a pair of the most fashionable leggings. "Xiaoxi, this is what your aunt bought for you. Do you like it?"
Zhang Xiaoxi looked incredulous: "Zhou Xiaopeng's aunt actually bought her such beautiful clothes and pants."
Seeing that she was still confused, Li Qiuxiang patted her and said, "Xiaoxi, take it quickly."
"Thank you, auntie!" Zhang Xiaoxi happily took the clothes.
After a while, Zhou Xiaopeng also came back.
"Aunt, what delicious food did you bring me?"
Li Qiumei pointed to the paper box on the cabinet and said, "As a boy, you like snacks even more than girls.
Bring it here and share it with the stream."
Zhang Xiaoxi was not polite either, and he and Zhou Xiaopeng competed for the pastries.
Li Qiuxiang and Lao Zhang looked at them with satisfaction.
Early the next morning, Li Qiumei went to her aunt's house.
When she walked into the alley, she didn't run into Ma Dazui and the others, which made Li Qiumei feel a little strange and uncomfortable.
“It’s strange that in such a lively occasion, there is no one guarding the door to gossip.
Is there some big news in the county again?"
When Li Qiumei arrived at her aunt's house, just as she was about to go in, two girls came out arm in arm.
She stepped aside to let the two girls go out first, and then walked in.
Li Qiumei could feel a pair of eyes glued to her back.
Don’t think that she didn’t see clearly because of her old eyesight. The girl who just left is Qian Dan on the left.
In more than five years, Qiandan has grown a lot taller and his appearance has changed a lot.
But in her previous life, Li Qiumei had seen Qian Dan from childhood to adulthood, so how could she not recognize him?
Qian Dan stared at the figure disappearing through the door in a daze: "She recognized her mother at first sight, but I didn't expect her mother to not recognize her."
"Chandan, do you know that auntie?"
Qian Dan walked forward without saying a word: "Hurry up, aren't you going to our house to watch TV?"
As soon as the two men pushed open the door of Qiandan's house, a shoe flew over.
