Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Unplanned
According to Jiang Xi's plan, she would not put the marinated food directly on the shelf like a roadside stall.
Strictly speaking, it's not hygienic to have no measures to hide the dust. Furthermore, since Jiang Xi wants to open a shop, he wants to open a high-quality shop. Although he can't do a gorgeous decoration now, he still needs to have basic supporting facilities.
This is Wu Ji Zao Lu's first store. Jiang Xi will not be careless and will find a way to put everything together.
However, since glass is still a planned product, you can’t buy it whenever you want, and everyone is a little worried.
Kunzi, who had remained silent, said, "I heard they say there are glass shops in the city, and some glass factories have opened special counters selling glass."
Jiang Xi frowned and thought, since she couldn't buy it in the small county town, she would go to the city to have a look. It just so happened that she also needed to buy stainless steel barrels, so she could just buy them all at once.
Jiang Xi made a decision quickly, gave Zhou Jiangang and Kunzi a few instructions, and went home to prepare things for the trip to the city.
Jiang Xi was going to the city, and Wu Yaqin was very worried. It was very unsafe outside now. Jiang Xi was a young and beautiful girl, and she had never been far away.
The train station is a place where all kinds of people gather. Wu Yaqin often heard that many single women were abducted and sold. The more Wu Yaqin thought about it, the more solemn her expression became.
"Do we really have to go? Don't the county have those things?"
Jiang Xi was checking the accounts as he replied, "Yes, we're still short of things. If we can't buy them in the county, we have to go to the city. If we can't find them, we can't open the store."
When it comes to opening a shop, Wu Yaqin also knows the priorities. When she learned that Jiang Xi had bought a shop, Wu Yaqin was extremely happy and had hope for her future life. This shop was not only the starting point in Jiang Xi's heart, but also extremely important to Wu Yaqin.
But compared to making money, Wu Yaqin was more worried about Jiang Xi's safety: "How about I go with you?"
Jiang Xi shook her head: "Mom, no need, you haven't been away from home before, I still have to take care of you if you go."
Wu Yaqin felt a little sad. Her daughter's abilities were getting stronger and stronger, but she had been standing still and could not help her daughter when she needed help.
Jiang Xi knew that Wu Yaqin had started to have wild thoughts again, so she simply changed the subject: "Mom, Qi Yuan is coming home for dinner tomorrow."
Wu Yaqin was finally freed from her wild thoughts when she heard this. She had always had a good impression of Qi Yu'an, and Qi Yu'an had always been helping them.
Over the years, Wu Yaqin raised Jiang Xi with great difficulty. She suffered a lot but received little help. So once she received a little help, Wu Yaqin would be grateful and would want to give back as long as she was able.
"It's great that Comrade Qi is coming to dinner. I'll go buy some vegetables early tomorrow morning. Last time he said the soup I made was delicious, so this time I'll stew some soup for him and stir-fry a few more dishes." Having made money from selling pickled vegetables, Wu Yaqin no longer skimped on food.
Jiang Xi further explained: "Mom, actually Qi Yu'an and I are dating, and he came to our house for dinner as my partner."
Wu Yaqin looked up with her eyes wide open: "What, say it again?"
Jiang Xi repeated patiently: "Qi Yuan and I are dating."
Wu Yaqin's voice was trembling: "When did it happen?"
Jiang Xi replied: "It's just these few days. I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I never had the chance. I just wanted to tell you when Qi Yu'an came to my house for dinner."
Wu Yaqin was silent. She was very clear about Qi Yu'an's conditions. He was such a good man, with a spirited appearance, good character, and good conduct.
Wu Yaqin had also thought about letting Jiang Xi find someone like Qi Yu'an. But Wu Yaqin had never thought about Qi Yu'an actually dating Jiang Xi.
Qi Yu'an's family lives in Beijing. Wu Yaqin doesn't want Jiang Xi to go so far away. Besides, if Jiang Xi goes so far away, no one will help her. What if she gets bullied?
Qi Yu'an likes Jiang Xi now, so he is willing to accommodate her. However, objectively speaking, the gap between their family situations is too big. Will Qi Yu'an change his mind in the future? Will Jiang Xi be hurt?
Wu Yaqin thought a lot, but finally swallowed her worries. She believed in Jiang Xi and knew Jiang Xi's abilities. Since it was Jiang Xi's choice, she would support it.
This is Wu Yaqin's greatest strength. She will unconditionally trust those she trusts.
She used to believe in Jiang Haibo, so she didn't doubt it at all.
Now the only person Wu Yaqin believes in is her daughter. Wu Yaqin knows herself well. She is a person who lacks decisiveness and has a relatively narrow vision. The abilities her daughter has demonstrated during this period have made her happy and relieved.
After many twists and turns, Wu Yaqin asked a question: "Do you like him?"
Jiang Xi's eyes lit up when she mentioned Qi Yu'an. She said with certainty, "Mom, I like him. He's a very good person. We get along well, and he supports me in everything I do. Qi Yu'an is much better than I thought."
Wu Yaqin nodded with relief: "As long as you like it, I have no objection. As long as you think it's good, it's fine."
Wu Yaqin's own marriage failed, and what she hoped most was that her daughter would find a good man who truly respected and loved her. Now that Jiang Xi has such a good partner, Wu Yaqin couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. Jiang Xi was right, their lives would get better and better.
The fact that Qi Yu'an was coming to dinner at home dispelled Wu Yaqin's anxiety about Jiang Xi going to the city, and she was replaced by another kind of anxiety.
After talking to Jiang Xi, Wu Yaqin started cleaning. She also picked up a pen and paper to write the menu for entertaining Qi Yu'an, fearing that there would be any omissions.
Jiang Xi found it funny: "Mom, there's no need to be so formal. It's not the first time Qi Yuan has come to our house for dinner."
Wu Yaqin insisted: "No, how can we do the same thing as last time? We have to do better and not lose our manners and let others look down on us. This also shows how much I value you."
Jiang Xi saw that he couldn't persuade Wu Yaqin, so he could only let her go. But what kind of scene would be like when Qi Yuan came to his house tomorrow?
In the Youth House, Liu Zhiqiang slumped over on his bed, a look of helplessness on his face: "Yu'an, stop pulling at your hair. You've been energetic enough today. If you keep messing around like that, all the young men in the village will be outshone by you."
Qi Yu'an acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He kept combing his hair and adjusting his collar in front of the mirror. "Is this okay?"
It was his first time meeting his parents, and he was a little nervous. Liu Zhiqiang rolled his eyes and said, "Can you please stop trying to offend a single man like me? Look at your looks, your physique, and your conditions. There's nothing wrong with you."
Liu Zhiqiang was both angry and amused. A few days ago, someone was still hesitant and didn't dare to confess his feelings, but now he has just met his girlfriend's parents. As expected, even the most inexperienced man can learn how to date without any guidance. But when will his true love come?
Liu Zhiqiang felt a little melancholy. Qi Yu'an changed into another piece of clothing. "How about this one? Which one looks better, this one or the one just now?"
Liu Zhiqiang couldn't stand it any longer: "They say the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him. Besides, it's not like you haven't met Jiang Xi's mother before. Doesn't she like you very much?"
Although he said so, Qi Yu'an still had a serious face and did not relax at all. They were friends before and now they are a partner. The standards have changed, and the evaluation must have changed as well. It is the first time to meet the parents, and Qi Yu'an must do his best to leave a good impression on Jiang Xi's family.
Liu Zhiqiang...I don't understand those of you who are dating.
After struggling for a long time, Qi Yu'an finally changed into a satisfactory outfit, took two cans of malted milk and some other things and went to Jiang Xi's house.
Jiang Xi's house was much more lively than before. Wu Yaqin specially called Chen Xiu Lian for this meal. She felt that she was indecisive and not very good at judging people, so she asked Chen Xiu Lian to help her.
Chen Xiulian never thought that she had just joked about whether Jiang Xi and Qi Yu'an could be together, but in the blink of an eye they became a couple.
Although Qi Yu'an's family conditions are much better than Jiang Xi's, Chen Xiulian has seen Jiang Xi's business getting better and better step by step, and his interpersonal relationships becoming more and more methodical. He is soft when he should be soft, and tough when he should be tough. She has become more and more confident in her granddaughter. Even if it is Qi Yu'an, her granddaughter is worthy of him.
Not to mention that in a few years Jiang Xi's business will grow bigger and bigger, and it's not certain who will be able to marry into the group.
Chen Xiulian has full confidence in Jiang Xi, so she also wants to test Qi Yu'an. If Qi Yu'an can't pass this test, he will have no chance of deceiving her good girl away.
Wu Youli was about to come when he heard the news, but was stopped by Chen Xiulian.
He still has to set up the stall. If he sets up the stall for one day less, he will earn less money, and Jiang Xi will also earn less money. Jiang Xi's shop hasn't opened yet, and everything costs money. How can he waste his time like this? Besides, Wu Youli is a taciturn person. Chen Xiulian wants to interrogate Qi Yu'an, so Wu Youli should not join in the fun.
Wu Yaqin and Chen Xiulian prepared all the ingredients early in the morning. The two had nothing to do and were anxious about the upcoming dinner, so they could only stare at each other and walk around in circles in the yard.
Jiang Xi found it funny that the two women looked as if they were facing a great enemy. If someone didn't know better, they would think Qi Yu'an was some kind of monster.
Hearing a knock on the door, Jiang Xi opened it and it was Qi Yuan.
Qi Yu'an was as energetic today as ever, with smiles in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. Jiang Xi was not nervous at first, but now he was inexplicably nervous, probably because it was the first time he brought his partner to meet his relatives.
Qi Yu'an was also extremely nervous. He forced himself to remain calm as he walked into the house. Seeing Wu Yaqin and Chen Xiulian, he called out politely, "Aunt Wu, Aunt Chen, hello. This is something I brought for you. Please accept it."
Wu Yaqin saw two cans of malted milk, some biscuits, canned food, and other miscellaneous items packed into a large bag. She thought it was too expensive and they were all hard to buy.
Qi Yu'an smiled sincerely, "It's nothing special, just a token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
Wu Yaqin had no choice but to accept it. She was not a good talker, so this time it was Chen Xiulian's turn to take the lead.
Chen Xiulian and Qi Yuan exchanged a few pleasantries before getting down to business. She smiled and asked, "Comrade Qi, I've heard before that your family is in Jing City?"
