"Old Meng, give me some of these melon seeds. I couldn't get enough the last time I tried them. I went out and couldn't find any. I just thought they were better than the ones sold at the supply and marketing cooperative. So it turns out your granddaughter-in-law made them."
Old Master Lin reached out and took a handful of caramelized melon seeds from Old Master Meng's hand. He was an impatient person and asked his son to run around the department store and the supply and marketing cooperative, but he couldn't find melon seeds as delicious as Old Master Meng's. The ones he bought were either raw or tasteless.
"Pinch less, my granddaughter-in-law made it specially for me. Come on, old friends, pinch some and try it."
There aren't many old men who like to eat snacks, and not many who eat sunflower seeds regularly, mainly because they are tasteless and not very tasty. In order not to offend Old Meng, we all symbolically took some to taste, and this taste was different.
"Hmm? Smells good! Lao Meng, these melon seeds are good."
"Exactly. I thought sunflower seeds were tasteless."
"I told you and you didn't believe me, but now you believe me, don't you? Old Meng, I want to discuss something with you. Do you have too many sunflower seeds? Can you share some with me? My wife has been forcing me to quit smoking lately, and I'm almost losing weight."
Seeing that they all thought it was delicious, Mr. Lin spoke first before them. He then continued:
"I'm not asking for it for nothing. I'll give you what you deserve. Just give me some."
Mr. Meng waved his hand and said, "I don't have much. If you like, just come with me and get some later."
In fact, he had quite a lot. When Shen Qingli came back, he brought a lot home. He estimated that it must be at least ten or twenty kilograms.
It's okay to share some with these old men. If they want more after they finish eating, they can go back and tell their family. If they want more, he will...
At worst, he can just charge for his granddaughter-in-law!
Oh my! Mr. Meng thought he was really smart. He knew how delicious these melon seeds were. Although they were just a small snack, he couldn't help but want to eat more!
In front of so many people, Mr. Lin naturally refused to accept it for free. If he accepted it for free, others would also ask for it for free from Old Meng, then he would be harming Old Meng.
As expected, several others also said they would buy some. They really had never tasted sunflower seeds with this flavor, and they could buy some and take it back for their families to try.
But no matter what, when they went to the Meng family to get the melon seeds, Mr. Meng refused to take their money and said he would pay next time.
They finally saw the true appearance of the Meng family's twins.
have to!
Now I can understand why Old Man Meng is so proud and boastful every day. They also want to have great-grandchildren who are as beautiful as little fairies!
If it were them, they would laugh even happier than Old Man Meng!
She was plump, fair, pretty, and cute, with a delicate and delicate appearance. Her smile immediately captured the hearts of these old men. They stayed until the child fell asleep, and then they reluctantly got up to say goodbye.
Oh my god! She looks so pretty even when she's asleep! So pink and tender, like a little porcelain doll.
From that day on, the news that the Meng family's twins, a boy and a girl, were as beautiful as little fairies, spread throughout the compound and the alleys like wings, and reached the ears of all acquaintances.
Some people even came to ask the Meng family for their secret recipe for having twins! This left Shen Qingli speechless.
The news that the melon seeds made by Meng's granddaughter-in-law for Mr. Meng tasted better than those in the supply and marketing cooperative also spread, but this was exactly the effect that the old man wanted.
Everyone knows that Meng’s melon seeds are delicious, but no one dares to come to their door to ask for them or buy them.
The old man's original intention was to use the little money he earned from the family to give to Shen Qingli, as he couldn't finish it all anyway.
After listening to this, Shen Qingli had a bigger idea. Although there was no method to fry melon seeds with different flavors now, she did have it!
A quick search online revealed she even had room for renewable supplies!
Although individuals are not allowed to open shops and conduct private business for the time being, and these kinds of non-staple foods are all supplied and sold by the state with receipts, there are still many street vendors who defy the law and commit crimes to make a living.
She could actually just run her own business and supply them with goods. She only needed to ship the goods and not be responsible for sales.
But she rejected the idea as soon as it took shape.
For now, she is not short of money, and the economic reform and opening up will begin next year, so there is no need to commit a crime against the wind.
Especially since the Shen and Meng families were military and political families. Small fights among neighbors, colleagues, and friends were fine, but if they got out of hand, people would inevitably target the Meng and Chen families.
Forget it. What she has now is enough for her to live comfortably for the next few decades. There is no need to take the risk for a little money.
If she really wants to start a business, and she follows the wave of reform and opening up next year and makes preparations in advance, it will be enough for her to help everyone make a fortune.

At the entrance of the railway office, it was time to get off work and there was a crowd of people. At this moment, Meng Ning was being blocked at the entrance by her mother-in-law Huang Dani.
She was a big, strong woman, and she was pulling Meng Ning's arm and yelling:
"Meng Ning, I'm telling you, you can't divorce my son. What right do you have to divorce my son?"
She glared and screamed, as if she wanted to attract everyone around her.
Meng Ning couldn't get rid of her, but he didn't want to use force, as he didn't want to hurt her because she was old.
She looked at the mother-in-law who had oppressed her for several years without showing any weakness:
"Why can't I get a divorce? I'm telling you today that Ma Fei and I are divorced!"
"Why do you do that? My son didn't even marry the daughter of our hometown captain because of you. He raised you for so many years. Why do you want a divorce?"
Huang Dani was struck by lightning when she heard that the two had divorced. Her son called her a few days ago and said that Meng Ning must divorce him this time, so she rushed to Beijing, but she still missed the chance?
