"Qinghe, this is so delicious. I want to swallow my tongue together with it." Luo Aixiang took a bite of the mutton hotpot and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
Shen Qinghe swallowed the meat in her mouth. The mutton of this era was more delicious than the mutton of later generations. It was very fresh and tasty. They were all raised on grass, while the sheep of later generations were fed with feed for the sake of production. She also wanted to swallow her tongue.
"We'll come here once a week from now on, it smells so good!"
Jiang Chunlin looked at Shen Qinghe lovingly, put the cooked meat in a small dish to let it cool before giving it to Shen Qinghe.
"If you like to eat, you can come here every day. Your man can afford it." The market in Beijing is big, and he has had good harvests recently.
Shen Qinghe shook her head. "No matter how delicious something is, it won't taste good if you eat it every day. Once a week is best."
Jiang Chunlin lowered his eyes and whispered in Shen Qinghe's ear, "I will never get tired of eating you!"
Shen Qinghe looked at Jiang Chunlin with a ridiculous expression.
This person is becoming more and more unscrupulous.
Ever since she came to Beijing, she felt like she hadn't eaten enough every night. She ate well every day but didn't gain weight. This is the reason.
Luo Aixiang and Luo Ailan were struggling with the food and didn't look over here.
What's more, they were used to seeing Jiang Chunlin, who always had a cold face outside, being like a loyal dog in front of Shen Qinghe. He did whatever Shen Qinghe said and wagged his tail with a smile on his face, asking for praise.
They have long been accustomed to such contrast.
Before, both of them were a little afraid of Jiang Chunlin, but now, relying on their association with Shen Qinghe, they are not as afraid of him as before.
But when Jiang Chunlin looked at people coldly, he was still frightened.
The last few people were so full that they had to hold on to the wall to get out.
The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Chunlin opened the door. It was someone from the post office, carrying a toolbox, who came to install a telephone.
It took some time for Tang Zemin to ask someone to approve the formalities, and he only completed all the procedures yesterday. Someone from the post office came to his house early this morning to install the phone.
When the phone was being installed, Luo Aixiang and Luo Ailan stood aside and watched curiously. After the phone was installed, the two left.
They are not like Shen Qinghe, who has a lot of people caring about her.
Even if they wanted to make a phone call, they wouldn't know who to call.
Tang Hao and Zhu Zhigang are at work right now, so I'm afraid I'll disturb them if I call them now.
After the phone was installed, Shen Qinghe called Tang Zemin first, but someone else answered the phone, "Deputy Director Tang is in a meeting."
Shen Qinghe was stunned. She guessed that there would be a lot of things to do at the end of the year, so she smiled and said, "Please write down the phone number. When Deputy Director Tang finishes the meeting, please pass it to him and tell him that I am Shen Qinghe."
The man’s eyes lit up, “Mr. Shen, the clothes you designed are selling well. The factory has been working overtime recently, and the workers are very tired recently. Deputy Director Tang’s meeting now is about giving the workers a raise.”
The man spoke a lot with a smile. Shen Qinghe was very happy that the clothes he designed were so popular.
I talked to the person on the other end of the phone for a while, and only after hanging up did I realize that I forgot to ask who the other party was.
Shen Qinghe called Dong Hongying again and chatted about family matters.
When Dong Hongying heard her voice, she choked up. Shen Qinghe promised her that she would go back as soon as possible before the New Year, said a few words and hung up the phone.
She sat by the phone, staring at it in a daze, her hands twisted together, a look of confusion on her face.
Jiang Chunlin sat next to Shen Qinghe, held her in his arms, bent down and kissed the top of her head, "Do you want to give Doudou a beating, but are afraid that she will cry like last time."
Shen Qinghe trembled, nodded slowly, and her eyes turned red.
Only after becoming a mother did she understand the true meaning of the saying “Children are the flesh that falls from their mothers.”
It’s okay when I’m busy, but when I’m free, I’ll miss Doudou.
Especially when she sees babies about the same age as Doudou outside, she misses Doudou even more and wants to cry.
"Then let's not fight. Let's go back early. There's no end to making money. Bring Doudou and the others here after the New Year. You can see Doudou every day and you can work with peace of mind." Jiang Chunlin suggested.
Shen Qinghe thought about it and felt that what Jiang Chunlin said made sense.
"Okay, tomorrow I'll tell Ai Xiang that I won't take any more orders. Once we finish the orders we have, we'll go home and celebrate the New Year!"
"Listen to my wife!" Jiang Chunlin said with a smile.
The next day, when Luo Ailan and Luo Aixiang heard that they were going back, they didn't react much and were even a little resistant.
"Qinghe, Ailan and I discussed this before we came to the capital. We won't be going back. You guys go back, and the two of us will stay and look after the house."
Shen Qinghe was stunned, thinking of the immoral things that Luo Ailan's mother had done. She heard about this from Cai Li. She called Cai Li to say hello, and he told her about it.
Out of consideration for Shen Qinghe's sake, Ge Yong only sent Peng Chunhua to labor camp. She was the one who broke into the lock, so she couldn't deny it even if she wanted to.
The others just beat it and let it go.
I guess they won't pick locks casually again.
According to Cai Li, Peng Chunhua kept scolding Luo Ailan, saying that she moved without telling her and that if it weren't for her, she would not have gone to labor camp.
Shen Qinghe knew that Peng Chunhua would not change, and neither would the Luo family.
If Luo Ailan and Luo Aixiang went back and they found out, they would definitely cause trouble for them again.
"Okay, you guys stay and look after the house. Before you go back, I'll tailor some more clothes. Then you can take the finished clothes and sell them. You can sell as many as you can. If you can't sell them, give them to Brother Li later."
Luo Aixiang's eyes lit up. She was worried that she would have nothing to do after Shen Qinghe returned.
Tickets were hard to buy these days, so Jiang Chunlin found a scalper and bought the tickets at a high price.
After he returned, he asked Deputy Director Tang to buy a train ticket to Beijing.
While Jiang Chunlin was buying the tickets, Shen Qinghe had been cutting as many clothes as possible.
Luo Ailan kept making clothes.
The two of them were busy and didn't talk, just concentrating on their work.
Two days later in the afternoon, Jiang Chunlin came back with two soft sleeper tickets.
The ticket is for the 3pm train the next day, and will arrive in Taoyuan County at 5pm the day after tomorrow.
The time is neither early nor late, just right!
They set off for the train station at one o'clock. Before that, except for eating and sleeping, Shen Qinghe was cutting clothes and Jiang Chunlin was packing things.
"You two should keep the doors closed at home. Don't open the door if someone you don't know knocks. Be careful." Shen Qinghe warned them worriedly.
Luo Aixiang patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Ailan and I will be careful."
Beijing is the place with the best public security in the country, but Shen Qinghe was worried about the two of them spending the New Year together, so she gave Jiang Chunlin some instructions before rushing to the train station with him.
The Beijing Railway Station was crowded with people.
Jiang Chunlin kept holding Shen Qinghe's hand, fearing that she would be separated by the crowd.
It took quite a bit of effort to squeeze onto the train.
Some people climbed in directly through the car window, while others handed their children in first and then climbed in themselves.
There was a lot of noise and chatter everywhere.
After squeezing onto the train, Shen Qinghe was sweating all over in the middle of winter.
When coming from the hard seat carriage, the aisles were full of people, and some were lying under the seats, and even above the luggage area.
You have to keep shouting "make way" as you walk, otherwise you won't even have your feet on the ground.
It was much better when we got to the soft sleeper car, there were obviously fewer people.
Shen Qinghe felt the power of money.
"I'll go get some water. You take a rest first." There were only two of them in the soft sleeper compartment. The other two beds were empty. Jiang Chunlin didn't know if there was anyone else, so he went to get some water while no one was around.
Shen Qinghe nodded and handed two army green kettles and towels to Jiang Chunlin, "Soak the towels again. I want to wipe my face."
Jiang Chunlin nodded, hung the towel around his neck, and left with two kettles.
Shen Qinghe lay on the lower bunk, stretched her legs, and after lying there for a few minutes, she took out a book from her bag and started reading.
I'm reading Selected Works of Mao Zedong. It seems dry at first glance and hard to read, but it contains a lot of philosophical ideas and you will benefit a lot from reading it.
As I was watching, I heard someone walk in.
Shen Qinghe recognized that the footsteps were not those of Jiang Chunlin. She looked up and was stunned when she saw the person coming.
"Qinghe." Li Yunting walked in carrying a luggage bag and said with a smile.
Shen Qinghe sat up and asked in surprise, "Brother Li, the New Year is coming soon, aren't you celebrating it in Beijing?"
"For someone like me who has no home, it doesn't matter where I celebrate the New Year. Taoyuan County happened to have some things to deal with, so I went over to take a look." Li Yunting said with a smile.
"You..." Shen Qinghe blinked, "Did you buy a private room especially for me?"
Li Yunting did not deny it. "Well, Chunlin happened to buy the ticket from one of my men."
