Chapter 46

Qin Xiang was about to open her mouth when Mi Hongjun came in with something in his hand. She said helplessly, "Let's talk after dinner."

After all, they were guests after coming from afar. Duck soup, braised pork, fried tomatoes and two vegetables were a very good treat for the guests. Usually, when Qin Xiang and Qin Yang had dinner together, they would only have two dishes at most.

Qin Xiang saw Mi Hongjun's eyes were wide open, and hurriedly pushed the rice over to him, "Eat."

Mi Hongjun looked at Qin Yang nervously, completely annoying Qin Yang, "If you want to eat, eat

. If you don't want to eat, put down your chopsticks. What are you looking at me for? Are you waiting for me to feed you?" "I'll eat." Mi Hongjun picked up the chopsticks and started to eat the rice. He ate very quickly, scooped two spoonfuls of fried tomato eggs into the rice, and ate it quickly with braised pork and vegetables. It was as if he hadn't eaten for several days.

Seeing Mi Hongjun like this, Qin Xiang was silent. This was really a problem. As far as she knew, Mi Hongjun was a lively and outgoing person with a good temper. It was estimated that such a person would not have many chances to quarrel with others.

After dinner, Mi Hongjun cleaned the table, wiped the table and washed the dishes very diligently, with skillful movements. Mi

Hongjun said, "Sister Xiangxiang, I can cook too. I will cook for you and Brother Yang tomorrow, okay?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay."

Mi Hongjun was immediately happy. Does this mean that he can stay?

Qin Xiang asked again, "Are you really not going back?"

"No." Mi Hongjun lowered his head slightly, his eyes dim, "Our family didn't have any land to begin with. The things I set up and the house have all been sold now. I have no place to live if I go back."

It's not that he has no attachment to his hometown, but his relatives are long gone. He did make a little money after setting up the stall, but even this was enough to annoy people. Then the other party brought people to mess with him frequently, making it impossible for him to continue.

And he was indeed tempted by the few days when Qin Xiang took him to work, so he gritted his teeth, sold all his things, and came to Qin Xiang without looking back.

To be honest, he was also worried halfway through, what if Qin Xiang and others did not take him in, but he had already taken this step, and there was no turning back. So he thought it through, calculating that if Qin Xiang did not take him in, he would stay here, after all, there were two acquaintances here.

Qin Xiang didn't know what was in his mind, she glanced at Qin Yang, "Third brother, why don't you let him stay temporarily?"

Qin Yang said expressionlessly, "There is no place to live."

A strange man must not be allowed to live in the main room, but he can live with Qin Yang temporarily.

Qin Xiang said, "Let him sleep with you for two nights, and tomorrow we'll go ask Aunt Hu to find him a place to live, is that okay? Didn't you say there's a tube house for rent, three yuan a month, not expensive."

Mi Hongjun heard, "I can pay the three yuan myself."

Qin Yang glanced at him, "Okay."

He looked pitiful. As long as he didn't miss his sister, he thought it was okay to keep Mi Hongjun.

At least this kid is a good person, and his mind works quickly, and he can help them when the time comes.

So the issue of Mi Hongjun's stay or departure was temporarily resolved. As for the issue of the letter of introduction, the higher authorities have issued a notice that the ID card will be issued nationwide in April. When the time comes, Mi Hongjun can go back and apply for an ID card. The era of letters of introduction will gradually withdraw from the stage of the times.

The next morning, Qin Xiang smelled the fragrance of rice as soon as she woke up. Qin Xiang was stunned. She and her third brother both knew how to cook, but they were limited to cooking the rice. The taste was just so-so, but this morning it seemed to be particularly different.

When she got up and went out, she saw Mi Hongjun wearing an apron and smiling from the kitchen, "Sister Xiangxiang, the meal is ready, wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Qin Xiang then remembered that there was a new Mi Hongjun in the family. She nodded blankly, "What delicious food did you cook?"

"Preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and fried egg pancakes." To be honest, Mi Hongjun himself would not be willing to eat such a meal when he was in his hometown. This was not for the sake of showing off. He followed a few old ladies to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy fresh meat and vegetables, and thought of making a delicious meal for Qin Xiang.

As the saying goes, if you want to capture the other person's heart, you must first capture the other person's stomach. Although he did it to join Qin Xiang...but it's almost the same, that's the idea. He didn't study much, and it was not easy for him to think of these.

After saying that, Mi Hongjun looked at Qin Xiang with a face that wanted to be praised. Qin Xiang saw her third brother coming out of the house with a gloomy face, and couldn't help laughing, "Very good."

If she said more, Qin Xiang was afraid that her third brother would beat Mi Hongjun directly.

And Mi Hongjun was still smiling foolishly there, he was really hopeless.

Breakfast was served, and Mi Hongjun was attentive and thoughtful to serve porridge to the Qin brothers and sisters. The enthusiastic Qin Yang was embarrassed to say anything to him. He looked very cheerful and enthusiastic, but his cautious actions made Qin Yang feel sorry for him. He was just an 18-year-old boy.

Forget it, let him live there first, just as if he had found a helper.

After breakfast, Qin Xiang asked Qin Yang to take Mi Hongjun to see Aunt Hu. With the help of Aunt Hu, they temporarily found a tube-shaped building to live in. They paid three yuan a month for three months, and Mi Hongjun paid for it himself.

On the first day of Mi Hongjun's work, Qin Yang took him to the city to pick up the goods.

Originally, they were going to go there with their brother and sister, but now they had a ready-made labor force.

Before leaving, Qin Xiang also said, "I can only give you thirty yuan a month for now. I will increase it slowly when you perform well in the future, and I will come back to sign a contract with you."

Nowadays, hiring people is not like a few years ago, when the number of people cannot exceed a few. The requirements are no longer so strict. Qin Xiang decided to follow a more formal procedure and sign a contract for safety.

Mi Hongjun had no objection to this, "Okay, it's settled."

Thirty yuan is indeed not a lot of money. Although Mi Hongjun was bullied by others when he went to Hangzhou, he also earned some money.

But he inexplicably trusted Qin Xiang and felt that Qin Xiang would definitely achieve great things in the future. He would definitely learn a lot from Qin Xiang. It doesn't matter if it's a little less now, he won't suffer a loss.

Mi Hongjun followed Qin Yang to the city with great interest. Qiao Huilan came out of the house, "Xiao Qin."

Qin Xiang looked at her in surprise, "Aunt Qiao, is there anything wrong?"

"Do you know my last name is Qiao?" Qiao Huilan had not approached Qin Xiang since she tried to take advantage of him last time and failed. She was actually quite happy when she asked.

She approached Qin Xiang and said, "Is that guy your crush?"

還不等秦湘回答，喬慧蘭又啧啧的用暧昧的眼神看秦湘，“看着小夥子年紀不大啊，但是長的也真是精神，你可真是占了大便宜了。在我們老家那兒，離了婚的女人最多就只能嫁個鳏夫或者老光棍呢。”

秦湘似笑非笑的看着她，“你管的可真寬，給你個好臉你家想開染坊了是吧？你再哔哔一句看我抽不抽你，我離婚關你什麽事兒，在這胡說八道的。滾蛋。”

喬慧蘭沒料到秦湘上一秒種态度良好，下一秒就變了臉，直接吓了一跳，“你這娘們兒，這麽虎了吧唧的沒個女人樣，難怪離婚。”

說完怕秦湘揍她是的，趕緊掉頭跑路了。

"You, Qiao Huilan, you keep chewing poop at home every day. If they want to get a divorce, then let them get a divorce. It's none of your business. You talk nonsense without knowing anything. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."

Old lady Liu came over, pointed at Qiao Huilan and scolded her. Qiao Huilan didn't dare to confront Old lady Liu, so she hurried home and closed the door.

"Don't pay attention to her, she's just not clear-headed." Old lady Liu came over with her hands behind her back, "But that guy is really not the one for you?"

Qin Xiang shook her head, "No, he's a friend who came to us and is helping us temporarily."

Old lady Liu understood and actually felt it was a pity, "She looks like a good child. Even if she's a little small, it's okay. If you take good care of her, she'll listen to you in the future."

Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Auntie, she's really just a friend, not the one for me."

"Really not." Old lady Liu asked tentatively, "How about I introduce you to one?"

Qin Xiang was startled and waved her hands quickly, "Auntie, really not, I don't want to find a partner for the time being."

She was stupid to find a partner. She finally jumped out of the cage, and if she found another cage for herself, it would be a shame if she got kicked in the head by a donkey.

"Auntie, please don't introduce it to me. My parents don't dare to introduce it to me, so please don't do it either, or it will ruin our friendship."

Seeing that she was serious, Mrs. Liu was regretful, but she couldn't persuade her anymore. "Okay, you young people are more opinionated than each other now, and we old guys can't control it."

In the afternoon, Cai Hongyan came to the county town to get the goods, and said to Qin Xiang secretly, "I want to tell you something."

Qin Xiang looked at her, "What is it?"

She thought it might be gossip about Wang Junsheng and Cui Hong, or Cui Lianhua.

Since Cai Hongyan came to her to get the goods, she didn't know what she was thinking. Every time she came, she had to bring some news, either from Cui Hong or Cui Lianhua. I don't know if she was deliberately looking for an excuse to get close to her.

Qin Xiang wanted to tell her several times that it was no use, as long as she was paid, she would definitely sell it.

But then she thought, let Cai Hongyan say whatever she wants, she actually wanted to know how Cui Hong and Wang Junsheng fell in love in the next few decades.

Cai Hongyan said mysteriously, "Let me tell you, when my mother-in-law went to look for Cui Hong, she found out that Cui Hong had been gone for several days. Now people in the village are saying all kinds of things."

Qin Xiang said calmly, "She must have gone to the capital."

Cai Hongyan nodded in shock, "You are right. People in the village have all kinds of guesses, but my mother-in-law went to Wang Fusheng's house to ask, and she was told that she had received an introduction letter to go to the capital, saying that she was going to serve her man. My mother-in-law was so angry that she had a quarrel with Wang Fusheng. Now, no one in the village doesn't know about this. They are all saying that she has lost everything, and maybe she will be able to have a grandson in a year."

Cai Hongyan said disdainfully, "What do you mean by serving a man? She just can't stay in the village anymore. The little hooligans in the village whistle and tease her when they see her."

Qin Xiang said, "Oh."

Seeing that Qin Xiang seemed to be uninterested, Cai Hongyan was a little embarrassed, "Tell me about you..."

She wanted to talk about why she got divorced, but she couldn't say it. Qin Xiang is very different now. It's only been two months. Qin Xiang has changed from a young wife to a self-employed wholesaler. When she was at home, she secretly calculated with her husband that Qin Xiang might be a 10,000 yuan household now. A

10,000 yuan household, a hundred yuan is a large sum in their eyes, not to mention ten thousand yuan. They made so much in less than two months, how much money would they make in a day? What

she didn't say was that when the couple talked about this, Cui Lianhua accidentally heard it, and Cui Lianhua fell on the spot.

It was probably because she was thinking about the capital of Qin Xiang's business and the 500 yuan she got from the Wang family. It would be strange if she didn't faint.

Cai Hongyan looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. Qin Xiang couldn't stand it anymore. "Okay, take the goods, pay the money and leave quickly."

After counting the money, she counted out the socks one by one and gave them to her, and quickly drove her away.

It was enough to just listen to the things about the Wang family. She didn't want to make friends with Cai Hongyan's endless sighs.

There was really no friendship, and she didn't want it. She just wanted to be beautiful alone and hate Cui Lianhua.

Otherwise, she would be unhappy if Cui Lianhua lived such a good life.

After driving Cai Hongyan away, other people came to pick up the goods one after another.

However, Qin Xiang opened the back door to the house, so she didn't need to let anyone go to her yard, and everything was done in that house.

After everyone left, Qin Xiang settled the current inventory and then recorded the accounts.

After a while, a man in his thirties came over, saying that he wanted to buy goods from him, saying that he opened a store in the county.

Qin Xiang smiled and took out a few of her clothes, and told the truth, "If you go to the towns below to open a store, I will have no problem selling these clothes to you, but if you are in the county, this style is not easy to sell."

Even though Qingshui County is not as developed as the southern cities now, people in the county have seen many new styles of clothes, and there may be people who buy these clothes that are being cleared out, but the market is definitely not as large as in the towns below.

The other party was a little disappointed, "It would be nice if there were new styles."

Qin Xiang thought, "I may go to Guangzhou or Hangzhou next month to get some fresh clothes. If you need them, I can contact you and reserve some for you. Of course, I plan to open a store directly in the provincial capital. If you want them, I will send them to you."

The other party's eyes lit up and he left his address. "If you really have them, please leave some for me. I will contact you again."

Qin Xiang sent the other party away, thought about it, and found some nylon bags and nailed them to the wall. Then he went to the department store to buy a few clothes racks and hung them directly on the wall. He also moved the small rack in the house outside, piled some clothes on it, and put the cardboard written when he rushed to collect them outside the door. He moved a stool and sat at the door and read a book.

It is definitely not as easy to sell in the county as in the big market, but it is not absolute. People in the county are not all fashionable. If they can sell one piece, they will make a profit. They have nothing to do.

Not to mention, some people actually ask for it. Although the style is not very good, it is cheap and of good quality. It cannot attract young girls, but it can attract some elderly aunts and grandmas. By noon, they actually sold a few pieces.

However, the lace socks and socks and underwear with stepping figures that she bought before sold some. These are favored by young people.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Xiang was about to go back to close the store and have lunch, when she saw two people walking towards this side timidly from not far away.
