Chapter 68 Good Wife
Jiang Zian was stunned by Han Jianwu's question. He thought for a few seconds and said, "Which educated youth Zhao? I only know that most of the people who come to buy our fabrics and wool are educated youth, but I don't know which one is Zhao and which one is Wang?"
Han Jianwu, "Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"
Jiang Zian, "What do you mean?"
Han Jianwu said, "The one your sister-in-law knew! A flower of the educated youth in the commune farm."
Jiang Zian, "The one with a braid?"
Han Jianwu nodded, "It's her."
Jiang Zian, "She just came to buy something and left after buying it. What do you mean by that?"
Han Jianwu didn't know what it meant, he just heard Huo Qingqing mention it. From what Huo Qingqing said, Zhao Linfeng doesn’t go to their store to buy things every day, right? Could it be that she has a crush on Jiang Zian? But how is that possible?
Han Jianwu said, "It's nothing special. Your sister-in-law asked me the other day if Zhao Linfeng often comes to our store to buy things, and I said it seems so."
Jiang Zian thought for a moment and said, "It seems that they have been coming here quite frequently recently. Is there any problem?"
Han Jianwu, "It's a good thing that someone comes to buy things frequently. What's the problem with that? Your sister-in-law asked about it, so I'll ask you about it. After all, you spend more time in the store than I do."
Jiang Zian, "Oh! Yes, I come here often."
Han Jianwu had already unlocked the bicycle and tied their belongings to the back of the bicycle. They would go their separate ways when they reached the foot of Nanshan Mountain. Jiang Zian would walk back along the foot of Nanshan Mountain, while Han Jianwu would climb the mountain and then go down again to get home.
"Boss Han, are you closing so early?"
Following such a pleasant voice, the two looked up and saw that it was Zhao Linfeng and a few educated youth again.
Han Jianwu, "It's already 29th, it's still early? Are you going to buy something?"
Zhao Linfeng said, "Yes! We want to buy wool."
Han Jianwu looked at Jiang Zian, "Zi'an, do you have any more yarn?"
Jiang Zian nodded, "Also, there are no bright colors."
Zhao Linfeng, "Who said I want to buy bright colors?"
Jiang Zian was embarrassed for a moment and said, "I'll open the door, you guys can look!"
Because of Huo Qingqing, most of the educated youth knew Han Jianwu, and Zhao Linfeng was the most familiar with him. Whenever they met, they would greet each other and chat for a few words. After all, Zhao Linfeng was Huo Qingqing's friend, and Han Jianwu could not neglect her.
"Isn't Zhao Zhiqing going home for the New Year this year?" Han Jianwu asked.
Zhao Linfeng said, "If you buy tickets too late and don't get them, you'll have no choice but to not go back. How are Qingqing and the kids doing?"
Han Jianwu, "Thanks to you, everything is fine!"
A few girls entered the store to pick things out, while Han Jianwu and Zhao Linfeng were talking at the door.
"How do you cook for the New Year?" Han Jianwu asked.
Zhao Linfeng said, "Didn't something happen on the farm this year? I guess most people don't take a break or take turns to take a break, and the chef also has to work."
Han Jianwu nodded, "That's fine."
Zhao Linfeng has been here for four years and goes home at least twice a year. But she can’t go back for this Spring Festival. She doesn’t mind it. She really wants to experience the Spring Festival here! I've been here for so many years but I've never celebrated the New Year here!
"Why don't you go back to the city?" Han Jianwu asked.
Zhao Linfeng, "There is no unit to accept this!"
Han Jianwu: "It's really hard to find a job in the city these years."
Zhao Linfeng, "Yes! We are the unlucky ones. We can't find a job at all. By the way, tell Qingqing that I will come to your house to see her and the children in a few days!"
Han Jianwu was a little confused, "You're going to my house?"
Zhao Linfeng, "Why? Boss Han doesn't welcome you?"
Han Jianwu, "No, I just found it quite unexpected. You have to climb a mountain."
Zhao Linfeng, "Who are you looking down on? It's not like I haven't climbed the mountains in Hanjiagou before. I've been to the educated youth compound in Hanjiagou, right?"
Han Jianwu, "Really? OK, welcome, welcome. I'll report to Qingqing as soon as I get home."
Several female educated youth had already come out after buying good things. Jiang Zian asked Zhao Linfeng, "Zhao Zhiqing, what did you buy?"
In fact, Zhao Linfeng didn't buy anything. She was just accompanying a few sisters to shop and wander around.
"Oh! I'll buy the grey yarn."
When Han Jianwu returned home, Huo Qingqing had already cleaned and decorated the house inside and out. She had pasted white paper and window decorations on both sides of the windows, and was waiting for Han Jianwu to come back to put up the couplets.
There were no wild flowers in this season, so Huo Qingqing picked some apricot and peach branches and put them in two vases on the long eight-immortal table. The walls around the big kang in the bedroom were covered with kraft paper, and the walls of the small room were also covered with kraft paper.
She couldn't let her second brother think that she was not living a good life, so she had to show him how well she was living.
"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. After you're done, put up the couplets." Huo Qingqing's eyebrows were all raised with a smile.
Han Jianwu, "Why are you so happy today?"
Huo Qingqing, "Of course, it's Chinese New Year!"
Han Jianwu also said, "Yes! This year is definitely of great significance. Would you like to have a drink later?" He has bought a lot of wine recently.
Huo Qingqing, "Okay."
The two of them were talking nonsense tacitly, and in fact they both knew why they were happy.
Han Jianwu's store opening went smoothly, and Zhang Guohua's arrest was a great relief to the people. Although theft cannot be punished by death, there is a penalty of three to five years in prison. This relieved some of Huo Qingqing's anger, but it was far from enough to compare to the harm she suffered in her previous life.
Huo Qingqing was so happy that she forgot to take care of the child and just focused on eating and drinking. She has a normal alcohol tolerance and her tongue becomes sore after just one glass of white wine, but she still insists on drinking to show off.
"Are the dishes today delicious?" Huo Qingqing looked at Han Jianwu and asked.
Han Jianwu: "It's delicious. Did you invent this?" But it's too salty.
There has been plenty of vegetables and meat at home recently. Huo Qingqing was in a very good mood today, so she made boiled pork slices and salt and pepper mushrooms on a whim. The boiled pork slices were pretty good, but the salt and pepper mushrooms were so salty.
Huo Qingqing was so drunk that her face flushed as she looked at Han Jianwu and grinned foolishly, poking his chest, "Are you lying to me again? I just drank a little too much, not drunk. These salt and pepper mushrooms are obviously too salty to eat, okay? And you still said they were delicious, liar."
Han Jianwu handed a cup of tea to Huo Qingqing's mouth, "Open your mouth and drink some tea. Don't drink any more alcohol. The mushrooms are indeed salty. Did you add too much salt?"
Huo Qingqing, "That should be it! I already added salt, but I was so engrossed in listening to the radio that I forgot to add another spoonful of salt, haha~"
Han Jianwu, "It's okay, I'll save it tonight and it'll still be edible."
Huo Qingqing held Han Jianwu's hand, said "hmm", and started to gulp down the tea.
Niu'er was shocked and asked, "Dad, is Mom a child? Are you feeding her water?"
Son, "Mom is Dad's good wife."
Han Jianwu, "You little bastard, where did you hear that?" What a good wife.
Son, "Dad said that when he kissed Mom, I heard it!"
"Puff~" The tea in Huo Qingqing's mouth sprayed out.
Every time the stinky man pressed her down on the kang, he would coax her this and that. If she didn't listen, he would keep calling her, "Wife, good wife..."
