"That's great. How long do you plan to stay?"
"Maybe we'll have to wait until the Chinese New Year is over and then we'll start farming in the spring."
"Very good, would you like to meet Zhen Zhen?"
Chen Yun was a little shy, "Yeah, it's inevitable."
Ling Ju looked at Zhen Zhen again, her face flushed. But she still insisted, "Brother Chen, don't try to get your mother to rush me into marriage. I have my own plans. I have to carry them out according to what we agreed on."
"Don't worry, I just want my mom to get to know you. We can spend some time together beforehand. Don't be afraid that there won't be any mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues in the future. My mom will stay in her hometown forever."
Looking at this couple in love, Ling Ju felt a little jealous.
She had never been in a relationship with Song Qi, but she went to bed with him on the first day she arrived here.
At that time she was still a dirty, fat black girl.
Within two days, the marriage certificate was issued.
Later, Song Qi went on another mission and they didn't spend a few days together.
But she and Song Qi are both weird people. They got together in such a confused way and are quite loving.
Sometimes she even thought that they might have been blinded by love at that time, especially Song Qi.
He couldn't even bear to refuse a girl who was dark, fat and dirty.
But fortunately, Song Qi won the bet, at least she is as beautiful as a flower now.
Ling Ju called Zhen Zhen to the kitchen alone and told her about taking Zheng Juan's blood for a paternity test.
Zhen agreed very readily.
Ling Ju was a little hesitant, "Zhen Zhen, do you have any bad feelings about Zheng Juan? Does it make you uncomfortable?"
Zhen Zhen shook his head, "No, why do you say that?"
"I just think you're too calm. I'm afraid you're feeling bad but you're unwilling to say it out loud. It's not good to hold it in like this."
Zhen Zhen chuckled, "Hey, Orange, don't frown. Don't you know me? I'm heartless. Don't worry. I actually hope Zheng Juan and Zhang Yu are my biological parents now. Last time, my boss told me about the Zhang family's current financial situation. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although we don't have a lot of money, we have a lot of small changes. The most important thing is the house. I can get a share of Zheng Juan's parents' house and my eldest brother's house. If I can get these, I can sell them and buy a small house in Kyoto. It can be considered as putting down roots! Then I can bring my uncle's family over, and we can be considered a family reunion!"
"I'm relieved that you think this way! Completely relieved! Okay, I'll tell you after Zheng Juan finishes taking the blood. I'll call Sun Yun when I get back and ask her for help."
"Yeah. Okay, Orange."
Chen Yun wanted to stay and help, so Song Qi took Ling Ju back home.
Before going home, Ling Ju saw the big hot steamed buns just out of the oven at the steamed bun shop next to the store, which made her very greedy, so they went to buy some steamed buns.
Unexpectedly, the steamed bun shop owner recognized her.
"Hey, this is Mr. Ling from the beef sauce shop, right?"
Ling Ju nodded, "Do you know me?"
"Yes, your shop assistant often comes to us to buy noodles, and we chat occasionally."
Ling Ju found that the steamed buns and noodles looked good and decided to buy some of both.
"Oh, please give me ten steamed buns and two packs of noodles!"
The woman at the steamed bun shop was very enthusiastic. "Great! Let me tell you, little girl, our business has been so much better since your shop opened! We originally only made steamed buns, but then someone asked if we could make noodles and flatbread, saying they were delicious with beef sauce, so we started selling flatbread and noodles too. Now we make more and in a variety of styles, and we're selling even more!"
"Really? That's great! It's a win-win situation for both of us. But you have to admit that people only buy your steamed buns and noodles because they're delicious and hygienic. Otherwise, with so many people buying steamed buns, why would they all come to you to buy them?"
The eldest sister was coaxed into a good mood, "Yes, yes, you are a good talker! But ensuring hygiene and making the food delicious are the most basic! If it's not delicious, our shop will go bankrupt in just one month!"
Ling Ju gave the proprietress a thumbs-up, "Look at your awareness!"
The elder sister handed the steamed buns and noodles to Song Qi. Song Qi was about to pay, but he didn't expect the steamed bun shop owner to only charge for the noodles. He said he would not pay for the steamed buns no matter what.
"This is your first time buying something, so take some and eat it! Your staff also come here a lot to buy something, so since we have two stores, we can help each other!"
Ling Ju felt a little embarrassed, as those who make noodles are small businesses.
But the eldest sister insisted, and even her teenage daughter came to persuade her, "Sister, just take it and eat it! If you like it, come back and buy more!"
Only then did Ling Ju accept it.
She turned around and asked Zhen Zhen to bring a bottle of sauce over, which made her elder sister so happy that her mouth almost stretched to her ears.
When she returned home, Song Qi told her that the owner of the steamed bun shop was a single mother with two little girls, and she relied on the steamed bun shop to support her family.
Ling Ju was a little surprised, "How did you know?"
Song Qi smiled and said, "I have investigated the area around you for several miles. I have to ensure that you have a safe environment to open your shop and avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Ah! Song Qi, you are so nice!"
Ling Ju really didn't expect that Song Qi actually did all this silently.
No wonder the shop has been open for so long, but apart from Zheng Zong who deliberately comes to the door, there are really no weird people causing trouble.
She had heard before that some thugs were collecting protection fees, and she was a little worried.
After all, there are still a lot of migrant workers in this era, and there are also some gangsters and so on.
"I didn't expect the owner of a steamed bun shop to work so hard, raising two children and running the shop all by herself. Steaming buns is not an easy job, just kneading the dough is very tiring. But where is her husband?"
"Her husband died of illness. Her parents-in-law seem to still be around. They usually help with chores and look after the children."
"Alas, this is the life of ordinary people. There is no such thing as love and romance. It's all about survival."
The streets outside the car window were full of people riding bicycles.
The bus is very old-fashioned and dressed in simple, single-colored clothes.
But what is different from my original memory is that the sky here is bluer than in the old photos, everyone is in good spirits, and there are no fat people.
When a country is in the stage of being built from nothing, the people also have hope for their lives.
In this day and age, as long as you work a little harder, you can still succeed.
Seeing that she didn't know what she was thinking, Song Qi took the initiative to find a topic.
"Zheng Juan has already arrived in Hainan. She had her blood drawn before leaving. The sample has been stored. Once Zhen Zhen has finished drawing her blood, we can take it together for testing."
Ling Ju came back to her senses. "Okay, I just told Zhen Zhen. Let's get someone to draw Zhen Zhen's blood tomorrow. I'll call Yun Yun when I get back."
"No need, I've already made arrangements. No need to look for Sun Yun anymore."
