Chapter 49: Fooling the Old Mother



Liang Haidi asked: "Where are Aqing and Haohao?" I'm glad they're okay.

"Aqing met her aunt at the village entrance and they were chatting there," Guo Youxing replied.

"Please come in and have a drink of water first, in-laws," said Liang Haidi.

"No need, I just came to say hello. I have something else to do when I go back. I won't drink with you. Let's do it another day," Guo Youxing said, waving his hand.

Liang Haidi said: "Okay, my in-laws, please come to our house for dinner some other day."

"Yeah," Guo Youxing nodded.

Ten minutes later.

Deng Qingling shouted as she entered the room: "Mom, I'm back!"

"Coming! Coming!" Liang Haidi walked out of the kitchen.

Liang Haidi wiped her hands on her clothes, hugged Haohao, and said, "I'm getting ready to cook! Why are you chatting with your aunt for so long?"

Deng Qingling said: "Oh, Sister Xiaomei came back before, but she didn't see me, so my aunt said a few words to me. I will go to see Sister Xiaomei the day after tomorrow."

"Why did you go to see her?" Liang Haidi asked.

"Actually, it's Xiaomei's sister-in-law's younger brother who wants to buy a job. They ask for half food and half money, so Sister Xiaomei wants me to help." Deng Qingling said in a low voice.

When Liang Haidi heard this, she was shocked. "What? How do you have such great ability?"

How could he not know how much weight his own daughter weighs? He dared to agree to anything, which was simply too audacious.

"When I was in junior high school, a classmate from another place came here. Her family had connections..." Deng Qingling was not lying, but she couldn't just say that she had a space filled with food.

"Really?" Liang Haidi didn't quite believe it.

"Really, my classmate is very capable!" Deng Qingling said righteously.

There really is such a classmate, but his family members are all soldiers and have a high status. It's not that he is capable, but that his family is capable.

"You have to be careful. You are a mother too. Don't make me worry all the time." Liang Haidi didn't want to say anything else. Her daughter had grown up, and it was impossible for her to make decisions for her on everything.

"I understand. Mom, you go cook. Let me hold Haohao." Deng Qingling said as she held Haohao.

After lunch, Deng Qingling gave the child to Liang Haidi and went to the town to do some work.

Deng Qingling first dressed up, put on a headscarf and a mask. The weather is a little cool now, so it is normal to cover yourself up tightly if you have typhoid fever.

Deng Qingling started her big career again.

In fact, not much was sold this time, just over 100 kilograms of rice, and two sacks of soybeans, peanuts, sweet potatoes and taro.

She sold the grain in several batches. She sold it at a higher price without food coupons, but many people were still vying for it. Deng Qingling was already a veteran in speculation and profiteering, and was very skilled in this business.

These crops were all grown by Deng Qingling in the space. She only put in a little effort, and it was a business with no capital investment, pure profit!

This time I made more than 230 yuan, with rice accounting for the bulk of it. Sweet potatoes and taro couldn't be sold for much money. Although it was a little less, even a little bit was still meat.

Two hundred and thirty yuan is not a small amount these days, considering that most people’s salary at that time was only around twenty yuan.

This time we only sold grain, not meat, as meat could not be sold at a high price in the small town. There was a large fish pond in the town, and fish were often sold there in the autumn and winter. No tickets were required, and there were often long queues.

Deng Qingling came to the town this time mainly to buy things for her mother's birthday, and making money by selling things was a by-product.

Deng Qingling went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a can of malted milk. She didn't need to buy anything else, just use what was in the space.

When I got near the bamboo forest and saw that there was no one around, I ran into the forest, then entered the space, found the clothes for middle-aged people I bought in modern times, took a set of women's clothes, two pairs of Liberation shoes, one size 37 and one size 42, and for food I took two pounds of pork belly, a chicken, and a pound of fruit candy. After I got everything I left the space.

When Deng Qingling was about to reach the village entrance, she saw her mother and son chatting with others at the entrance.

In fact, Haohao had woken up from his nap a long time ago, and he didn't cry or make a fuss. He let Podai take him out to chat, and when he heard others talking, he also babbled.

"Mom, Auntie" Deng Qingling walked over to greet them.

"Aqing is back! Your mother and I were just talking about introducing my niece to your village. Do you have anyone to introduce?" said an aunt from the same village.

Deng Qingling said, "Well, I rarely visit. I only know that there are many young men in the village, most of whom are single. I don't know their family situations or what kind of people they are."

Don't come to me for matchmaking. If it works out, it's fine. But if they end up being unhappy, whose fault is it? Is it the matchmaker's fault? Or the couple's?

As the saying goes, if I act as a matchmaker, it will benefit three generations.

The aunt said, "Is that so? Then I'll ask someone to find out."

"Mom, let's go back! Auntie, let's talk again when we have time." Deng Qingling left after she finished speaking, without waiting for Liang Haidi and the others. They wanted to go back early while there were fewer people around, as it would be bad if a pile of things were seen by others.

After returning home, Deng Qingling called Liang Haidi into her room.

"Mom, these are the clothes and shoes I bought for you. The big pair of shoes is for Dad, and the small one is for you." Deng Qingling said as she handed the clothes and shoes to Liang Haidi, and then took out other things.

"You can keep the malted milk for yourself and Dad, and the fruit candies for the kids. We'll cook the pork tomorrow, and we'll eat the chicken tonight."

Liang Haidi was stunned as she watched her put out a bunch of things. "Why did you buy so many things? How much did it cost?"

"Money is meant to be spent. Besides, your daughter can make money, so these are nothing." Deng Qingling said proudly.

I’m afraid to scare my mom if I tell her this, but I made more than 200 yuan this time alone.

"Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this. I already have clothes to wear. Why do you want to buy me clothes? Even if you want to buy clothes, can't you just buy fabric? Why buy ready-made clothes? They are so expensive." Liang Haidi kept nagging.

Although it is a good thing that my daughter is filial to me, this dress looks expensive. It would be more cost-effective to buy the fabric and make it myself.

"Mom, I know you want to save money for me, but this is my daughter's filial piety to you." Deng Qingling sat next to Liang Haidi and rested her head on her shoulder.

"Besides, I think this dress looks good and suits you very well. If you wear it, you will be the most fashionable woman. The women in the village will definitely envy you." Deng Qingling said as she picked up the dress and tried it on Liang Haidi.

These words made Liang Haidi very happy.

"You're just sweet-talking. Don't buy me clothes anymore. I'm an old lady and I don't need to wear such nice clothes."

Deng Qingling said: "Just wear it if I bought it for you. Why can't an old woman wear nice clothes?"

Everyone loves beauty. Even when you are old, you want to be a fashionable old lady.
