Although the man spoke through clenched teeth.
But Qiao Qiqi was not ashamed, but proud. "Being diligent and thrifty is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. I will take it as you praising me."
"..." The man stared blankly at Qiao Qiqi.
I thought to myself: This girl is not only good at bargaining, but she's also a bit shameless.
Qiao Qiqi didn't care what he thought. She handed over the money and the ticket, and then headed towards the black market.
I reckon Qin Huai should have sold most of his apples by now, and he might get anxious if I get back late.
Qiao Qiqi was worried about it, and when she got back, she found that Qin Huai's apples were indeed all sold out and were waiting for her at the intersection.
Seeing her carrying large bags and small packages back, I immediately went up to her, took the things from her hands, and hung them all on the handlebars. "Are you tired? It's almost noon, let's go get something to eat."
Qiao Qiqi was indeed a little hungry, so she immediately got into the back seat of the car and was driven by Qin Huai to eat.
Because Qin Huai had brought Qin Baojun to see a doctor before, he knew a few places to eat. Today it was hot and neither of them had much of an appetite, so after thinking about it, they decided to have cold noodles.
Unfortunately, the taste was a bit disappointing from the first bite.
Taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking, Qiao Qiqi leaned close to Qin Huai's ear and whispered, "It's far worse than what I made."
Qin Huai glanced at her and nodded without hesitation.
He felt the same way, but he just didn't say it.
But since this was the only condition available outside, the two of them ignored the taste and wolfed down both bowls of noodles before heading out.
Some buses return at 1 o'clock, and others at 2 o'clock.
Having come all this way, Qiao Qiqi decided to take the 2 o'clock bus back.
After asking the shop owner that it was 12:10, Qiao Qiqi asked Qin Huai to take her to the electronics store on his bicycle.
Qin Huai didn't ask where he was going, and just rode off on his bike.
Now that she was alright, Qiao Qiqi remembered to ask him, "How do you know how to ride a bicycle?"
Only Su Shangjin and the commune secretary in the village have bicycles. Logically speaking, Qin Huai shouldn't have been able to get his hands on a bicycle, right?
"Last year, I went to work in the forest farm with the brigade. When I saw bicycles, I learned how to ride one," Qin Huai explained.
Qiao Qiqi nodded, then asked, "Aren't you going to ask me why I went to the electronics store?"
Qin Huai said, "Buy whatever you want, the money's all with you anyway."
Qiao Qiqi's lips curled upwards.
She especially liked the feeling of Qin Huai's unconditional trust in her.
The most important thing for two people to be together is trust, which is the way her mother taught her about marriage.
Although she had suffered a loss once because she trusted the other party too much.
But people are different after all.
Just because you've met one jerk doesn't mean all men are jerks.
This is unfair to Qin Huai.
Therefore, Qiao Qiqi was still willing to believe in Qin Huai, and only hoped that he wouldn't disappoint her.
Thinking it over, Qiao Qiqi didn't hide it from him and said directly, "When I was on the black market, I bought a sewing ticket from Grandma Li. My mother can sew clothes, but the sewing machine at home is old and broken, so I thought I would buy her one. It just so happens that she has nothing to do at home. In the future, if our family or my parents-in-law need anything, my mother can do it too."
Qin Huai nodded: "Okay!"
Seeing his indifferent reaction, and unable to see his expression from the back of the bicycle, Qiao Qiqi felt a pang of curiosity.
After craning her neck to look for a long time but still not being able to see his expression, Qiao Qiqi simply asked, "Qin Huai, don't you think it's unfair of me to buy such expensive things for my mother but not for yours?"
Qin Huai was taken aback.
I had sensed earlier that she wasn't behaving herself in the back, and now that I heard her ask this question, I realized that her earlier words were a test.
I suddenly found it a little funny.
“No, both mothers are mothers, so it’s only right for you to buy clothes for either one. Besides, you’re right, your mother doesn’t have to go to the fields, so she has time to make clothes at home, while my mother not only doesn’t have good skills, but she also doesn’t have the time.”
Wang Guihua has a very energetic personality. Although she works quickly and well in the fields, just as well as men, she is not good at many of the tasks that women can do.
For example, his cooking was just average, far worse than Qiao Qiqi's.
He was even less capable of mending and sewing, so Qin Baojun did all the sewing and mending at home.
Qiao Qiqi didn't quite understand, but seeing that Qin Huai wasn't being unreasonable, she felt relieved.
At that moment, she suddenly had an urge to hug Qin Huai and kiss him.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to do it in public now.
Suddenly, an idea struck her. Remembering how Chenchen and Xinxin had ruined her plans last night, she suddenly thought, why not arrange for Chenchen and Xinxin to sleep at the Qin family's house tonight?
The idea only flashed through her mind before Qiao Qiqi rejected it.
She hadn't figured out Chenchen and Xinxin's background yet. If she misjudged them and brought danger to her in-laws, that would be terrible.
So forget it.
She should just bear with it a little longer.
Just then, we arrived at the electronics store.
Qiao Qiqi and Qin Huai went inside and searched for a long time before finally finding the place that sold sewing machines. There were only two models, both Panda brand, one priced at 137 yuan and the other at 150 yuan.
After communicating with the salesperson, Qiao Qiqi finally chose the 150 yuan one.
Qin Huai then handed her 29 yuan and 5 jiao, which was what he had earned from selling apples that day.
Qiao Qiqi accepted the money and calculated that she only had a little over 70 yuan left in her pocket. It wasn't enough to buy a watch, and there wasn't anything else she wanted to buy.
