Unfortunately, just as he reached the doorway, he heard Su Yun reply with a laugh, "What's there to be afraid of? Go ahead and call."
"grandson!"
Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped in her tracks, closed her eyes, and rubbed her forehead with her hand. "Damn, it's over."
Silence reigned both inside and outside the house, but after a short while, Qin Chenxi's wailing could be heard from inside.
Qin Xiaoxiao, ashamed, covered her face and fled, abandoning her child.
After Qin Xiaoxiao ran away, Grandma Qin looked at Qin Chenrui, who was obediently reading a book to the side, and sighed helplessly.
"If only these two kids could switch places."
The boys are too quiet, and the girls are like lively monkeys. What will happen when they grow up?
Before the children even grew up, Grandma Qin had already started to worry.
Su Yun couldn't really hit Qin Chenxi hard, but she had to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, if she continued to do the same thing outside, who would tolerate her?
As soon as Su Yun made a move, Qin Chenxi started wailing loudly, which made Su Yun laugh in exasperation. Fearing that Grandma Qin and Qin Xiaoxiao might misunderstand, she quickly took the child and went out.
"Grandma, this girl is practically a spirit! I just hit her once, not even hard, and she's crying like that. Anyone who didn't know better would think I'd stabbed her."
Looking around, Qin Xiaoxiao wasn't there. "Where's Xiaoxiao?"
Grandma Qin took Qin Chenxi from her and said helplessly, "She ran away, making her daughter so embarrassed."
Su Yun looked at Qin Chenxi, who was crying so hard she couldn't catch her breath, but not a single tear fell, and felt helpless.
"This kid needs to be disciplined properly, otherwise he'll cause trouble at school in two years."
Qin Aiguo nodded in agreement, "It's time to clean up."
Grandma Qin sighed as she held Qin Chenxi in her arms, "What are we going to do with you? You won't feel better until you get a beating?"
Qin Chenxi stopped crying, her eyes darted around, and she hugged Grandma Qin's neck, acting coquettishly, "Great-Grandma, I don't want to go home, I'll stay at Great-Grandma's house."
Yes, as long as she doesn't go home, her mother can't hit her.
Qin Chenrui, who was standing to the side, looked up at this silly older sister and snorted coldly.
"ignorance."
Qin Chenxi rolled her eyes. "What did you say? Say it again!"
Qin Chenrui ignored her and continued reading with his head down.
I've finished reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I'll have to ask my mom to give me another copy tomorrow.
but……
Thinking of her mother's amazing magic tricks, Qin Chenrui felt a little worried.
His mother never used magic in front of him and his sister, so he couldn't tell them. There must be a reason why his mother didn't tell them.
He glanced at Qin Chenxi again.
Luckily, my sister didn't know, otherwise she would have been making a huge fuss about it the next day.
Qin Chenrui sighed in a serious tone, just like the old lady Qin.
What's he going to do with a mentally challenged older sister? He'll have to keep an eye on her from now on.
Dad is right. If we don't keep an eye on her, she'll definitely be sold off in the future.
At such a young age, I have taken on a heavy responsibility that I shouldn't have had to bear. What would this family do without me?
This is so hard for me!
Back home, Qin Xiaoxiao finally had some time to herself. She closed the door, drew the curtains, and quickly entered her private space.
I'll knead the dough, let it rise, and prepare the filling. Tonight, I'll make steamed buns and store extra in my online space so I won't be bored later when I don't feel like doing anything.
It would be best to send my daughter and son to the compound tomorrow, so she can continue making dumplings and such at home.
After making steamed buns all afternoon, Qin Xiaoxiao also made some steamed bread. In the end, she ran out of dough, but seeing that she still had a lot of filling, she started making pancakes. Finally, she used up both the filling and the dough, and then Qin Xiaoxiao started preparing the filling for tomorrow.
After everything was packed, Qin Xiaoxiao went to the compound to pick up the twins.
As soon as I entered, I saw Qin Ye happily holding Qin Zheng high in the air.
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she asked with a smile, "Brother's back? Where's Su Lu?"
As they were talking, Su Lu came out of the house and pulled Qin Xiaoxiao into his arms.
"I'm back."
Qin Xiaoxiao hugged Su Lu back, "It's good that you're back."
Su Lu knew what Qin Xiaoxiao meant. If they, the truck drivers, didn't tell others, who would believe that things weren't peaceful outside? It was perfectly normal for truck drivers to encounter robbers on the road, and many truck drivers had lost their lives because of it.
"There were a lot of us this time, and we arrived safely. I'm so glad we went. You wouldn't believe how lively it was in the south. Watches, alarm bracelets, bicycles, and clothing were so cheap. It's only in the north that they're so expensive."
Qin Xiaoxiao released Su Lu, "Most of the costs are allocated to transportation. In the past, due to low productivity, there was no way to transport the goods. Now, we have imported a lot of machinery from abroad, but transportation is a major difficulty."
Most trucks are now owned by factories and fleets, and individuals are not allowed to buy or sell them; otherwise, costs would come down quickly.
Perfect, we can go first and capitalize on this time difference, profiting from that difference in timing.
Qin Ye put Qin Zheng down and walked over to Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu, laughing, "I didn't expect our Xiaoxiao to have a knack for business. She's quick-witted."
"We owe you a lot this time, for suggesting we quit our jobs and start our own businesses; otherwise, we might have made money too."
The goods haven't been shipped yet, and we haven't seen the money. But if all those goods are sold, we'll not only double our earnings, but we could easily earn three or four times as much.
For example, a watch costs 81 yuan over there, but 160 or 170 yuan here.
Clothing is cheaper now; a dress that costs about three yuan in the south can sell for ten yuan here.
But this time they were all grown men, they didn't have the eye for quality, so they were afraid they wouldn't be able to sell them and bought relatively little. Next time, we could try to have Qin Xiaoxiao go over there.
Qin Ye planned to tell Su Lu and his wife later, when Ma Dahua called from the kitchen, "Go wash your hands, dinner is ready."
The group set out a table and bowls, and the family quickly gathered around to eat dinner.
"Hasn't Second Auntie gotten off work yet? Why is she so late today?"
Qin Xiaoxiao was puzzled when she didn't see Sun Zhirou at the dinner table.
Ma Dahua walked in from outside and put the last big bowl of chicken soup on the table. "Your second aunt said this morning that she would be back late because her workplace needs to take inventory of the warehouse."
By the way, I heard from your second aunt these past few days that the supply and marketing cooperative is going to adjust the prices of some goods. Please keep an eye out for that.
Qin Xiaoxiao and the other two were taken aback. "Price adjustment?"
Ma Dahua nodded, "It seems so, but I heard that the price reduction isn't much. It won't affect daily necessities, but watches and the like might be a bit cheaper."
Qin Xiaoxiao and the other two seemed to be deep in thought.
Price adjustments are normal. Things are better now, with the emergence of individual businesses. Items like watches are no longer exclusive to supply and marketing cooperatives. If prices weren't adjusted, they definitely wouldn't sell.
However, even if we adjust the price, we can't reduce the amount by much. The cost is there, and if it's too cheap, we won't be able to break even. After all, the supply and marketing cooperative still has so many people to support.
Qin Xiaoxiao and the other two didn't care too much. In any case, they were sure to make a lot of money on this trip. When they split the money, everyone would get a good amount, which would be more than what they would earn at work.
