After seeing Qi Fusheng off, He Xiuyun said to Shen Qinghe, "The village chief is really strange. He told me about this incident in the field when he was working before, and then his daughter came to tell me about it, and he came again today."
He Xiuyun didn't think that the village chief was trying to curry favor with their family.
Shen Qinghe glanced at He Xiuyun and said, "Maybe Qi Qingmei is afraid that we won't go."
He Xiuyun immediately figured out the trick and gritted her teeth in anger, "I'm just showing off to you."
After that, she asked cautiously, "Qinghe, what do you think of Jiang Zhiqing..."
"Mom!" Shen Qinghe looked at He Xiuyun with a helpless look, "My relationship with Jiang Zhiqing was a foolish thing I did when I was young and ignorant. Jiang Chunlin and I have been married for so long, how could I still be thinking about him?"
He Xiuyun was relieved and said to Shen Qinghe, "It's hot today, I'm going to make some cold noodles. I'll call you when it's ready."
Shen Qinghe nodded, without any hesitation, and went into the inner room carrying the snakeskin bag.
She went to the yard to wash her face, and after cooling down for a while, she stood in front of the round table to cut clothes.
He Xiuyun came in with a watermelon that had been hung in the well and had been frozen. "Qinghe, eat a few pieces of watermelon while it's cool."
Shen Qinghe was thirsty. She picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite. Her eyes lit up. "Is this frozen in the refrigerator?"
"..." He Xiuyun paused before saying, "This is what I hung in the well and froze. What does a refrigerator look like? I've heard of it but never seen one."
Shen Qinghe laughed and said, "I've seen it in the county. It has the same effect, but it requires electricity."
He Xiuyun nodded, not quite understanding, "It would be convenient if we had that thing, and we wouldn't have to worry about the vegetables going bad in the summer."
Shen Qinghe nodded. Afraid that He Xiuyun would ask again, she picked up a piece of watermelon and stuffed it into her hand, changing the subject, "Mom, where did this watermelon come from?"
He Xiuyun followed Shen Qinghe's words and said, "Your Aunt Liu planted some in her private plot, and I exchanged the corn with her."
Seeing Shen Qinghe finish eating a piece and then go to get another one, he smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll exchange it with her tomorrow."
"Wow, this watermelon is delicious." Shen Qinghe couldn't stop eating. She ate five small pieces of watermelon before starting to work.
As soon as I picked up the scissors, I saw Liu Hongmei and Chen Fenxia coming.
Shen Qinghe smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, Third sister-in-law, come in and sit down. What are you doing standing at the door?"
Liu Hongmei and Chen Fenxia looked at each other, and then they stepped over the threshold together.
"How is your business lately?" Shen Qinghe asked casually while cutting clothes.
After she came back from the capital, she hadn't had time to ask about them.
I was thinking about what kind of flowers I could teach them to crochet that would sell better.
Liu Hongmei reached out and poked Chen Fenxia's lower back, motioning her to speak.
Shen Qinghe pretended not to see it and frowned slightly.
This second sister-in-law is so smart. She always lets Chen Fenxia take the lead in everything.
Chen Fenxia glanced at Liu Hongmei, licked her lips, and looked at the cloth Shen Qinghe was cutting, "Qinghe, my second sister-in-law and I have something to discuss with you."
"Go ahead!" Shen Qinghe put down the scissors, asked the two to sit down, and pushed the watermelon towards them. "Eat it while it's cool. Mom just brought it up from the well."
Seeing that the two were embarrassed to eat, Shen Qinghe stuffed a piece of watermelon into their hands and took a piece of watermelon herself and ate it slowly.
He glanced at the embarrassed Chen Fenxia and laughed, "Third sister-in-law, what's the matter that makes you so speechless?"
Chen Fenxia smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Qinghe, my second sister-in-law and I want to sell the clothes you made. Do you think it's okay?"
"Qinghe, since we are selling crocheted items, it will be the same if we sell your clothes at the same time." Liu Hongmei said with a smile.
Ever since she started hanging out with Shen Qinghe, she had tasted the sweetness. Seeing Shen Qinghe making clothes every day, which obviously sold very well, she wanted to join in, but was afraid that Shen Qinghe would not be willing, so she let Chen Fenxia speak first.
She could see that Shen Qinghe felt sympathy for Chen Fenxia and felt sorry for her pain of not being able to have another child.
She also felt sorry for Chen Fenxia, and brainwashed her two sons whenever she had nothing to do, telling them to be filial to their third and youngest aunts when they grew up.
Chen Fenxia was honest. She waited for Liu Hongmei to finish speaking, then looked at Shen Qinghe embarrassedly.
"Qinghe, it's okay if it's inconvenient, we're just asking casually."
"Yes, Qinghe, it's okay if it's inconvenient." Liu Hongmei also said.
She was already very grateful that Shen Qinghe helped them earn pocket money and didn't dare to ask for too much.
Shen Qinghe glanced at the two cautious people and nodded, "Okay."
Liu Hongmei and Chen Fenxia's eyes lit up.
"But." Shen Qinghe put down the watermelon peel in her hand, looked at the two people and said seriously, "If you sell the clothes I made, you can only go out once every half a month."
"Can!"
Liu Hongmei and Chen Fenxia said in unison.
As long as Shen Qinghe is willing to take them out to play, whatever she says goes.
Shen Qinghe smiled with satisfaction. She liked obedient teammates.
"When was the last time you went to the black market?" Shen Qinghe asked.
Liu Hongmei said, "Four days ago."
Shen Qinghe nodded, "Okay, then you can come to me in ten days to pick up the clothes, and I will give you a commission of 50 cents per set of clothes."
"This is fine." Chen Fenxia's excited little face turned red.
Although I can go to the black market twice less each month, I can still make money from the clothes, and with the small crocheted items, I can make a lot of money.
Liu Hongmei also nodded and said no problem.
She and Chen Fenxia admired Shen Qinghe very much. They would do whatever she asked them to do. The fourth woman was smarter than them, so it was right to listen to her.
"I'm going to teach you how to crochet chrysanthemums today." Shen Qinghe went into the house to get the wool, opened the wardrobe, and found that there was not much wool left. Luo Ailan did not inform her that there was any defective wool, so she could only wait.
While teaching the two how to crochet chrysanthemums, Shen Qinghe said, "We are a small business, so we should go with the flow. We sell what the customers need. For example, chrysanthemums are very suitable for this season."
Liu Hongmei and Chen Fenxia listened very carefully and learned very seriously.
It was Chen Fenxia who got the hang of it first. Liu Hongmei's face turned red. "Look at how stupid I am. Fenxia always learns first."
"But you are better at selling things than me." Chen Fenxia also envied Liu Hongmei's sales ability.
"The first time is the second time, I'm sure you'll sell better than me after waiting for a long time."
"No, I'm not good at talking."
"You're not dumb, you're just too honest. There are some things I'm embarrassed to say."
The two of them were busy with their work while talking in low voices.
Shen Qinghe smiled and went to cut clothes.
He Xiuyun came over and called Shen Qinghe to eat, and Liu Hongmei and Chen Fenxia left tactfully.
As Shen Qinghe walked out, Jiang Chunlin came back on a bicycle.
"You calculated the time so you must have come back following the smell, right?" He Xiuyun looked at the fourth brother and joked.
Jiang Chunlin didn't say anything. He fetched a bucket of water from the well, poured half of the water into the basin, washed his face and neck, and then came over to eat.
"Qinghe, thank you mother." While eating, He Xiuyun said to Shen Qinghe gratefully.
Shen Qinghe was confused, "Mom, why are you thanking me?"
Jiang Chunlin and Jiang Jianguo also looked at He Xiuyun in confusion.
