Chapter 162 I'd be happy to call her my granddaughter
When Wan Guihua arrived at the Qin family, Qin Xiaoxiao had already finished breakfast and gone to the county town with the Su sisters.
Upon arriving in the county town, Qin Xiaoxiao first took the Su sisters to the state-run restaurant to meet Qin Hai, and also let them have a treat.
When Qin Hai learned that the Su sisters and Qin Xiaoxiao had a good relationship, he said that he would personally cook for them if the two sisters came again in the future.
This personal cooking signifies something special; it means that the Su sisters will not only be able to enjoy the master chef's cooking next time they come to eat, but also in larger portions.
The Su sisters were very happy to hear this.
Although they have money, they can't spend it recklessly. They are certainly willing to spend the same amount of money to eat a few more bites of meat.
After visiting Qin Hai, Qin Xiaoxiao took them to the post office to collect the remittance for the month.
"Wait a minute, there's also your package."
Qin Xiaoxiao was stopped and looked up at the staff member in surprise.
Another package? Could it be Grandpa Li Changqing again?
Upon receiving the large package, I saw that it was indeed sent by Li Changqing.
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and thanked the staff, signed the papers, and with the help of the Su sisters, carried the large package out of the post office.
Qin Xiaoxiao took the two of them to the supply and marketing cooperative again. This time, Qin Xiaoxiao did not go to find Sun Zhirou, but bought a lot of things at the front desk.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't have many votes, but the Su sisters had plenty, and they were using national votes, so Qin Xiaoxiao took advantage of them.
Of course, she didn't take advantage of them for nothing; Qin Xiaoxiao gave them the money as soon as she left the supply and marketing cooperative.
After receiving the money, the Su sisters treated Qin Xiaoxiao even better.
In friendships, the worst thing is when one party is tactless and takes advantage of the other. You might tolerate it once or twice, but who will indulge you in the long run?
People like Qin Xiaoxiao are the most likable because they are tactful and generous.
After the three of them had bought enough, they headed straight to the grocery store.
Qin Xiaoxiao glanced around and saw that the meat was gone, and there weren't many pastries left either. She had sunflower seeds and nuts at home, and there was no shortage of fruit. After thinking for a moment, Qin Xiaoxiao ran over to the shop assistant and started chatting with him.
With "sister" on one side and "good person" on the other, Qin Xiaoxiao quickly obtained the right to purchase the pastry crumbs.
Don't underestimate these scraps; they're not something anyone can just buy. They're usually sold internally by the store, so don't even think about buying them if you don't have connections.
After Qin Xiaoxiao and her two companions squeezed out of the crowd, Su Yu was utterly impressed by Qin Xiaoxiao.
"How come you call a forty-year-old woman 'sister'?"
Qin Xiaoxiao replied with a smile, "What's the big deal? As long as it benefits me, I'd be happy to call her granddaughter, let alone older sister."
Su Yu was stunned when she heard this, and it took her a while to come to her senses.
"Oh, you're teasing me!"
Su Yu chased after Qin Xiaoxiao and tried to hit her, but Qin Xiaoxiao wouldn't let her get the better of her and ran away laughing.
The three men's laughter was as clear and melodious as silver bells, and could be heard by everyone on the street.
It was New Year's Day, and people were more tolerant and kind during the festive season. As a result, almost half the people on the street looked at them with smiles, as if they were looking at their unruly children.
On their way back, the three of them caught up with an oxcart. Su Yu stood close to Qin Xiaoxiao and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoxiao, has that matter been resolved?"
Qin Xiaoxiao was taken aback. "Didn't I tell you?"
Su Yu shook her head. "He didn't say."
Seeing that Su Yu looked like she wanted to hear some gossip, Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and whispered a few words in Su Yu's ear.
Su Yu looked surprised after hearing this, "You're just going to let him go like that?"
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Su Yu, "He's had it tough too. If he hadn't been pushed to the brink, I don't believe he would have done something like this."
"Besides, I'm beautiful and kind-hearted, and I don't want to make a fuss over so much, but if there's a next time, I won't be so easy to talk to."
It's just a matter of stealing a couple of handfuls of cornmeal; there's no need to offend someone so badly. Who knows when Ma Jiahua might come to power? If it comes in handy later, it'll be a viable option.
Su Yu curled her lips, "He got off easy. It's only because of you. If it were me, I would never have let him off so easily."
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and didn't say anything more. They arrived at the village in no time.
Qin Xiaoxiao said goodbye to the Su sisters, carrying her things. She was going to the Qin family home for the festival and wouldn't be traveling with them.
Back at the Qin family home, they found Old Mrs. Qin staring blankly at the cured meat on the table.
Qin Xiaoxiao deliberately circled around in front of Old Mrs. Qin, but when she still didn't react, she looked at Qin Aiguo in confusion.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with Grandma? Who brought this? Did someone from the village come to give holiday gifts?"
Qin Aiguo smiled and waved his hand, "No, this was sent by your Aunt Wan."
Qin Xiaoxiao was confused. "Isn't the Su family on good terms with our family? Since the two families have a good relationship, there's nothing wrong with sending a piece of cured meat, right? Why is my grandma doing this?"
Qin Aiguo gave Qin Xiaoxiao a deep look and replied with a smile, "What gift is your grandma thinking of in return?"
Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, "I thought it was something serious. It's just a return gift. That's easy. We still have wild rabbits at home. We can just take one."
Qin Aiguo smiled but didn't say anything, and looked at Old Madam Qin.
After hearing Qin Xiaoxiao's voice, Grandma Qin came to her senses and forced a smile at Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao is back? What did she buy? She's wasting money again."
"Sigh, she's so extravagant. What will she be like after she gets married? Even if her in-laws don't say it to her face, they're definitely cursing her in their hearts."
Qin Xiaoxiao was completely bewildered.
It's just buying some things, why is it being brought up to marriage?
Even if she gets married, she can spend money as she pleases. She spends her own money, not anyone else's, so why should she be unhappy?
Seeing that Old Mrs. Qin seemed to be in a bad mood, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think of Wan Guihua.
She was the only guest at our house today. Her grandmother's mood was so volatile, it must be related to her. I just don't know what Aunt Wan said that made her grandmother care.
Although Grandma Qin had always lived in the village and hadn't seen much of the world, she was good at adjusting her mindset, and by dinner time she was back to normal.
The whole family had a happy dinner, but Qin Wei couldn't come back today, which was a bit of a pity.
The Lunar New Year is just over twenty days away, and Qin Wei wanted to save up his leave so he could come back and have a proper New Year. That's why he didn't come back for New Year's Day and filled in for someone else.
Qin Hai and Sun Zhirou had the same plan.
Back at the educated youth compound, Qin Xiaoxiao grabbed her knitting thread and rushed to the Su sisters' room. The three of them sat together, gossiping about the village and knitting together.
Of the three, Su Yun was the fastest and best at weaving. Qin Xiaoxiao, despite being a beginner, was very skilled and her weaving was not much slower than Su Yun's. Only Su Yu had been weaving for almost two months and had only woven a piece the length of a palm.
Seeing that Su Yu's yarn was almost bare from all the back and forth knitting, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Su Yu, why don't you just leave this piece of yarn and knit gloves or something? Even if you finish it, the sweater won't be warm anymore."
Su Yu had wanted to give up for a long time, but her sister and Qin Xiaoxiao always knitted sweaters together, and she couldn't just do nothing, could she?
Now that Qin Xiaoxiao said this, I suddenly felt that Qin Xiaoxiao was so considerate. She really is her good friend and always thinks of her.
