Chapter 94

Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and somehow she thought of the great nephew Meng Huaiqing.

Could it be his ride?

It seems that his ride is quite nice, after all, it is a luxury car.

However, no matter how good a luxury car is, it is probably not as comfortable as a train berth if it is running on a bumpy road continuously. And this Hong Kong tycoon is really capable of running, running in several cities in Shandong Province, and running in Guangzhou, and now he is going to the capital? Is this the courage of the tycoon?

Grandpa Ge looked at her, "Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Grandpa, I'll just take the train, the train is more comfortable, taking a car to get there will make you shake and fall apart. Besides, he is a big boss, and he has important business to go to the capital, so why should I bother him? My third brother will send me off, we can just take the train." "

You are useless." Grandpa Ge didn't say anything else and went back to the house.

Qin Xiang didn't care, thinking that it was only a few days before the 28th and she should go buy tickets, but Jie Zong said that they would go together, so they must buy tickets together, including the third brother's, that would be three tickets.

When Qin Xiang was leaving, Qin Yang asked her, "Are you going to buy the tickets? I can find someone to buy them for us."

"There's another person who wants to go with us." Qin Xiang said helplessly, "I have to ask him first. Since we are going together, we have to buy tickets together. Let him not buy any."

To be honest, she really couldn't understand why Jie Zong was willing to go out with her. Was it really because they were from the same hometown and were admitted to Tsinghua University together?

But Jie Zong didn't look like someone who liked to travel with others.

Qin Yang was surprised. "Who?"

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "It's the boy who ranked second in the province in science this year. He's the son of Director Jie of the Provincial Experimental Middle School. When he went to give a speech that day, he mentioned that they were both at Tsinghua University, so he said they were going to the capital together so that we could take care of each other."

Qin Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll go with you. I'll go buy the tickets directly after I ask you."

Qin Xiang thought about it and nodded.

On the way, Qin Yang asked a lot of questions about Jiezhang, but Qin Xiang didn't know anything except what she said at the beginning. "I don't talk about the relationship with people, I don't care about his family, as long as the person is good and we can get along, then we are friends. No matter how you say it, we are from the same hometown. Isn't there a saying that when fellow villagers meet, their eyes will be filled with tears. Although we won't cry, we can still take care of each other when there are problems, right?"

Qin Yang didn't say anything because she didn't think much about it. Qin Xiang will have to stay in the capital for the next four years, and he can't do anything about some things in the provincial capital. He was also too worried. In fact, as long as his sister likes him, it doesn't matter what kind of man he is. At worst, he can just find another one if this one is not good. His sister has always been a person with her own ideas. After experiencing Wang Junsheng, she has a better understanding of what kind of men are good and what kind of men are bad. He has no need to worry.

Thinking of this, Qin Yang was less worried and talked to Qin Xiang about the capital.

The two went directly to the Provincial Experimental Middle School and asked the old man at the gate. They knew that Jie Zong had come to the library again.

Because she knew Qin Xiang, the old man at the gate asked her to register and let them in.

But when he saw Qin Yang, the grandfather murmured in his heart and was a little worried. Qin Xiang said, "This is my third brother, his own."

The grandfather waved his hand and said, "Go, go."

The two went in, and Qin Xiang chuckled. She looked at the third brother teasingly and said, "Third brother, you have to change in the future. Don't always have a tense face. You scare people, and they think you are a bad guy."

The third brother is not ugly, on the contrary, he is very handsome, but he has been wearing a tense face for many years, which makes him look ferocious and not like a good person. He scares people wherever he goes.

Qin Yang didn't care, "That's because they don't have the courage."

"How many people have the courage?" Qin Xiang advised, "Look, you will have to go to Yangcheng to purchase goods most of the time in the future, and you will also have to develop new suppliers. If you wear such a frown on your face, won't you offend people?"

Thinking of this, Qin Xiang felt that in addition to the third brother, Mi Hongjun would have to go with him. Mi Hongjun is at least sweet-mouthed and eloquent, otherwise it might not be easy to let the third brother go.

Qin Yang was impatient, "I know, I know."

It happened to be time to go home from school, and the two of them were good-looking. When they walked on the campus, many students turned their heads to look at them.

Someone recognized Qin Xiang and took the initiative to greet her, and his eyes glanced at Qin Yang with an incredible look.

Qin Xiang didn't explain and went straight to the library.

The library of the Provincial Experimental Middle School is a two-story building. It looks like an old building that has been renovated. The walls on both sides are covered with ivy, which is lush and green. It becomes quiet as you approach here, and you can't help but slow down your pace.

However, when they passed by, they were stopped by the teacher, and they learned that students who were not from this school were not allowed to enter.

Qin Xiang waited here, and the teacher went over to help call people.

After a while, a series of footsteps were heard, and the clean-cut male high school graduate Jie Zong appeared.

Jie Zong obviously trotted all the way here, and originally had an imperceptible joy on his face, but when he saw Qin Yang next to Qin Xiang, his face faded.

"Classmate Qin Xiang."

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "I'm going to the capital on the 28th. Do you want me to buy a ticket for you? My third brother will go buy tickets later to see if he can buy a sleeper ticket."

"Your third brother?" Jie Zong looked at Qin Yang and felt that the two of them didn't look alike. However, a subtle change occurred in his heart, and he didn't even notice it.

Qin Xiang nodded, "Yes, this is my third brother. He went to ask in advance if he could buy it."

Jie Zong nodded, "It's fine with me. I can go any day."

Qin Xiang felt relieved since he said so, "Then see you on the 28th."

Coming out of the library, Qin Yang said, "This kid is quite handsome." Qin

Xiang agreed, "He is quite handsome, but not as handsome as the third brother."

Qin Yang was speechless, "You can always talk to people to death."

"That's because you are my third brother." Qin Xiang didn't care, "I definitely won't be like this in front of outsiders."

When they went back, He Liping said happily, "Boss, someone is here to apply for the job."

Qin Xiang was a little surprised. If she remembered correctly, the job advertisement was only posted in the morning?

Unexpectedly, someone came so soon.

Qin Xiang glanced at Duofang, "Come in."

After the interview, Qin Xiang thought the person was good, so she handed him over to He Liping.

She said to Qin Yang, "Third brother, I will hand over these two stores to you from now on."

She knew that the clothing industry still had a long way to go, and she couldn't rush. She must focus on studying during school to accumulate for her own brand in the future. In the future, she can only come here during winter and summer vacations.

If everything goes well, she can open a few branches in the capital. If she really doesn't have time, these two stores may be her main source of income for the next four years. She can't help but attach importance to it.

Qin Yang knew her worries and put away his casual temper, "Just go to school with peace of mind, leave everything to me."

Qin Xiang looked at her third brother and smiled, "Okay."

On August 24, Qin Baotian brought his second uncle's two daughters, Qin Zhen and Qin Mian, over. It was the first time for the two girls to come to the provincial capital, and they were extremely excited. As soon as they met, they kept pulling Qin Xiang aside to ask this and that.

Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'll take you around for a few days, and you'll know for yourself."

The two girls nodded excitedly, but then shook their heads, "Cousin, my mother told us to work hard with our eldest cousin when we came here, and not to play around casually."

Qin Xiang laughed, "It doesn't matter if we take a day or two. After seeing and playing, we won't think about it anymore, and we can work hard."

Seeing her happy smile, Qin Baotian's tense face also eased a lot. He instructed Qin Yang, "You have to take good care of her when she is not here. This will be her confidence in the future."

At this point, Qin Baotian never thought that Qin Xiang would never get married in the future. But he thought that women with money and ability would have support after getting married, and at least they would not have to look at the faces of their in-laws.

Because of this, Qin Yang said impatiently, "I know, how could I not know this."

Qin Baotian sighed and said, "Don't blame me for nagging, Xiangxiang has a hard time."

"Well."

Qin Baotian said again, "Don't worry about things at home, your mother is now at your eldest brother's house, and I won't let her go back, so let's leave it at that."

Qin Yang didn't interfere with his parents' affairs, as long as they didn't bother them, Qin Yang didn't care what happened.

Qin Xiang had already arranged her work, so she took her two cousins ​​and Qin Baotian out for a walk, but Qin Baotian didn't like to go, "You young people go for a walk, I'll stay here and have tea and chat with Mr. Ge next door."

It's normal for older people not to want to go out, and Qin Xiang didn't force them, so she took her two cousins ​​out.

Of course, before leaving, they were sent to change clothes for each of them. Qin Mian was younger and was very excited. "Cousin, the buildings here are so tall, much taller than those in our county."

Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "So this is the provincial capital, not the county town."

When they went out, the two girls followed their mother's instructions and followed Qin Xiang obediently.

Qin Xiang took them around the center of the provincial city, and then took them directly to the university town. Seeing so many college students, they were even more shocked. "Are they all college students?"

Qin Xiang nodded. "Almost. Do you regret not studying hard now?"

Qin Zhen shook her head busy, "I studied hard, but my brain is not working well, and I can't learn it."

Qin Mian looked at the provincial university with envy, "College students are really good, so impressive."

"Then it's not too late for you to study now. I was 21 when I was admitted to university, and you are only 17. After three years of study, you will be 20." Qin Xiang looked at her, "Of course, the premise is that you can get into high school. If you can get into high school, I think Second Aunt will definitely be happy to support you to go to school."

Qin Zhen on the side said, "Qin Mian, you go and take the exam. If you can get into high school, I will earn money for your studies."

Don't say it, Qin Mian is really tempted. Qin Mian's academic performance was okay at first, but she failed the high school entrance examination last year. Seeing that her sister didn't have to go to school, she felt jealous and refused to go to school.

Now that she has worked at home for a year, she doesn't want to stay at home anymore. This time she came to the provincial capital, she was more active than anyone else.

She envied the life of people in the city and thought that people in the city were like Qin Xiangshi. When they came here, they saw that it was not what they thought. There were so many better people than those in the countryside. And there were so many college students who looked so impressive. In comparison, they were just bumpkins from the countryside.

As a girl, she had a stronger self-esteem and did not want to be inferior to others. She hesitated and said, "I'll think about it first."

Qin Xiang knew that she was moved, so she persuaded her, "If you want to go, I haven't thrown away the information there. I'll give it to you. When you think you're ready, go back to the No. 1 Middle School in the county and ask Teacher Ning to take the exam. As long as you're not too bad and can pass the line of this year's high school entrance examination, I think she will agree to let you go."

Qin Mian nodded, "Okay, if I still can't pass the exam with the books of the top science student, it will be a shame for my top sister. I can't embarrass you no matter what."

Qin Xiang was happy to hear her say this, "Then remember what I said today."

Qin Mian nodded.

Seeing that they were so happy, Qin Juan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll close the shop early tonight. You brothers and sisters and your dad can come to my place for dinner. I'll cook a good meal. Nian Nian has been talking about you for a long time."

Qin Xiang also missed Nian Nian, so she nodded, "Okay."

Qin Zhen refused to go out to play in the afternoon and went to help Qin Juan directly. Qin Mian went back with Qin Xiang and moved the sisters' luggage to the store and lived upstairs. Then she took Qin Xiang's reference books over, "Cousin, I will definitely study hard."

Qin Xiang nodded and said seriously, "Mian Mian, you have to remember, you go to college to change your own destiny, not for your second aunt, nor to save face for me, do you understand?"

"I understand." Although Mian Mian is younger, she has been narrow-minded since she was a child, and even Qin Zhen supports her.

Qin Mian grinned, "I'm so envious of you for getting into college, but I'm not jealous. If I have the chance, I also want to get into college."

"Go ahead," Qin Xiang encouraged, "The small goal is to pass the high school score line so you can go to high school smoothly, and the big goal is to get into college. Even if you can't get into college, going to a junior college is better than working after graduating from junior high school, do you understand?"

"Understand."

After arranging the two sisters, Qin Xiang went back to the store, but Qin Baotian wanted to leave.

How could Qin Xiang let him go at this time? "Fourth sister said that we should go to her place to get together in the evening. Aren't you coming here because you are worried about Fourth sister? Don't you want to go and see Fourth sister's current house?"

Qin Baotian was moved when he heard this. He was indeed worried about Qin Juan. "Then I'll leave tomorrow."

In the evening, Master Ge came over with a bag of swimming crabs. There were at least a dozen of them when he looked at them carefully. Each one weighed half a pound. What's more rare is that every one of these swimming crabs was still alive.

Qin Xiang was surprised and said, "Grandpa Ge, your place is really a treasure chest. How come there are so many good things here? I can even eat this."

This is not uncommon in later generations. It is just transported from coastal areas by refrigerated trucks. You can also eat fresh seafood in inland cities. But now is the 1980s. There are no refrigerated trucks at that time. Ordinary families have no way to eat this.

Qin Xiang thought that it was probably presented by Grandpa Ge's good nephew.

She smiled and said, "Brother, we can't finish so much, why don't you take some back?"

"I don't like this, my teeth can't chew it, and it's too strenuous to chew it." Grandpa Ge said, "It's better to get something more affordable. If you really feel bad, make me a pot of spicy meat tomorrow. I like it. It would be nice to drink a little wine."

Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Who would have thought that Grandpa Ge liked to eat spicy hot pot.

She nodded, "Okay, I'll make it tomorrow, and I'll have a couple of drinks with you tomorrow at noon."

"Okay, let's go." Grandpa Ge left in a leisurely manner. Qin Xiang gave the swimming crab to her third brother, and the three of them went out to Qin Juan's house.

On the way, Qin Baotian said, "City people are different, they can eat this stuff."

Qin Xiang explained, "This thing is not easy to eat even for city people. Isn't Mr. Ge's nephew from the port city? I guess he went to the seaside early in the morning to pull it back. I guess he must have put ice in it."

If this thing is left overnight, it will be dead. If you can't finish it today and there is no refrigerator, it will go bad tomorrow.

Qin Baotian was even more shocked. "How can the boss of Hong Kong City be so powerful?"

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "It's just that the development situation is different. Our country has just started to develop, so of course it can't be compared with Hong Kong City. But let's see in ten years or twenty years. Maybe the development of our mainland will be easier than that of Hong Kong City."

She paused and said, "Besides, Hong Kong City will return to China in another ten years. No matter how powerful they are, they are still children of our country."

Qin Baotian's generation has a stronger sense of patriotism than young people like Qin Xiang. Hearing this, they were all excited. "You are right. No matter how powerful they are, they are still children of our country. 's child. "

When they arrived at Qin Xiang's house, Qin Juan was already cooking with Qin Zhen, and Qin Mian was playing downstairs with Nian Nian. When they saw them coming, the little girl ran over and hugged Qin Xiang, "Aunt, I miss you so much. You haven't come to see Nian Nian for several days. Do you dislike Nian Nian?"

Qin Xiang stuffed everything in her hand to Qin Yang, squatted down, picked up Nian Nian, and kissed her on the face, "Of course I miss you. I came to see you as soon as I had time. Look, I also brought your third uncle and grandma with me."

Qin Niannian only saw her third uncle and grandma at this time, and she called them obediently.

"Good child." Qin Xiang looked at Nian Nian and felt much more relaxed.

It has not been a month since they moved in, but Nian Nian has gained a little weight and seems to be a little more cheerful.

Aunt Liu came out of the house and took Qin Xiang's hand, saying, "This child is really pitiful. Although your sister said she would give me money to look after her, this child is too obedient. If I don't say anything, she will almost sit there without moving. Even when my naughty boy wants to take her out to play, she has to look at my face carefully until I say it's okay before she dares to go out."

Qin Xiang felt very distressed when she heard this.

She looks much more cheerful now, but the subtle influence of the past three years is still there.

Qin Xiang sighed and said, "Auntie, my sister is busy, and you have to take more care of this child."

"That's nothing." Aunt Liu said happily, "I like this child, and your sister won't let me bring him home for nothing. Not to mention giving him one dollar a day, she just gives my family the leftovers from her stall every day. This has saved me a lot. My daughter-in-law asked me to tell your sister not to give her money anymore."

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "You still have to give. If you don't share the leftovers, they will just be thrown away, which is a waste."

Aunt Liu: "Your sister gives some to other families every now and then. Now there is no one in the family compound who doesn't like your sister and her mother."

She whispered, "Someone is even asking about your sister."

In this regard, Qin Xiang would not tell her sister the idea of ​​not getting married or having children to ensure safety. After all, the child is born, and her sister has to walk the future on her own. As a younger sister, she can't do everything for her sister.

As they were talking, they saw a man in his thirties carrying a bag of things upstairs.

Aunt Liu asked, "Did you see that man? He has been running into your sister these days."

Qin Xiang looked in the direction of his gaze, but only saw a silhouette, and couldn't see clearly what he looked like. Is

my sister's love interest coming?
