Chapter 29 Visiting Relatives
The craze for fine grains was over, and the queues for buying grains also disappeared.
"Comrade, buy some food."
Liu Qingqing looked at the person who came and saw that it was the elder sister who lost the food.
"It's you, big sister." She took the food.
"Yes, I was in a hurry to leave last time and didn't spend much time with you. Thank you so much for that." Wu Guilan thanked me with a smile.
"Sister, you already thanked me last time. What kind of food would you like?"
"Are there any Fuqiang fans left?"
"It's really gone. Fuqiang flour is selling fast." Liu Qingqing smiled and pointed behind her: "Today we only have corn grits and sorghum rice."
"Then some corn grits."
When she opened the phone and saw Wu Guilan's name, Liu Qingqing chatted with her while writing down her notes: "Where does Sister Wu work?"
"Wuning No. 1 Middle School."
"Oh, it's the teacher!"
"No, I'm the principal of Wuning No. 1 Middle School." The situation was so bad that the original principal was sent away, so she was temporarily brought up.
Liu Qingqing's eyes twinkled. "Sister Wu is the principal of a high school. That's great! I've always missed the fact that I didn't finish high school."
"It's not that good, not as good as your unit. Okay, I'll leave first." Wu Guilan smiled bitterly in her heart. The status of teachers and principals in these two schools was not very good, and was indeed not as good as a salesperson.
Watched Wu Guilan leave the grain station.
Liu Qingqing was thinking about finding time to visit Wuning No. 1 Middle School.
There were few people buying food, and Sister Wang next to her was too lazy to get up. She sat at the back and concentrated on sewing the trouser legs in her hands.
"Xiao Liu, come over here and let me weigh you."
"Okay, Sister Wang, are you altering clothes for your child?"
"It's not that bad. My naughty boy grows very fast. When I took my pants off to make them, a long piece of them was left inside. As a result, it hasn't been long now and the part I left is not enough. I have to make another one." Sister Wang said that her child grew taller, but her face was full of smiles while she said that the clothes were too long.
"Oh, he must be tall. Boys take after their mothers."
"Hey, you're really good at talking. Mine is pretty high."
When Liu Qingqing saw the person coming, she smiled and stopped chatting.
He took the food and asked, "What do you want, cornmeal, millet, or sorghum?"
"Twenty kilograms of cornmeal, ten kilograms of millet..."
Liu Qingqing was listening and taking notes when she felt the light next to her dim. She turned her head to take a look and heard a military green sound.
I lowered my head and continued writing, but suddenly felt something was wrong and looked up again.
Oops, oops!
Isn’t this the Song Jinglin that she often uses?
She bared her teeth, revealing a not-so-helpful smile, and continued to process the work for the people waiting to load their food.
My heart was in turmoil, I was so confused, why did this person come back?
What's the matter?
If she goes to visit relatives, she won't go back to the village, so we will only see each other a few times.
He finished the work in his hands while thinking.
After Song Jinglin and the others left, he moved to stand across from her and asked, "Are you done?"
"Well, you are on vacation." Liu Qingqing said with a laugh.
"When do you get off work?"
"Well, wait a moment." Liu Qingqing said to the few people who were watching from the side: "My husband is back from his family leave. Sister Wang, I'm going to go out and talk to him first. Please keep an eye on him for me."
"It's my love Xiao Liu, go ahead and go quickly."
Liu Qingqing nodded, walked out from behind the counter, and asked Song Jinglin to go out.
"I'll wait for you outside when you get off work. You still have to do your duty during working hours." Song Jinglin said behind her with a frown.
Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes silently, but it was more important to say a few words and send him back.
When Liu Qingqing got outside, she looked at the man and found that he was quite different from what she remembered.
He had a buzz cut and was not wearing a hat. He had a dark complexion and thick, long eyebrows. When he looked directly at her, one could feel the depth of his pupils. His thin lips pursed when she looked at him.
He was wearing a military uniform, but there were no epaulettes to be seen. He stood there with his body straight, and it seemed as if he wanted people to salute him.
"When are you coming back? Take a few days off."
"Thirteen days left." Song Jinglin was also silently observing Liu Qingqing. Is working in the city so tiring? Her face looked much worse than the last time they met.
Liu Qingqing nodded: "Then take a good rest at home. I'll go back to work first. You go back to Taoshan Village. I'll come back after a few days of rest."
As she spoke, she waved and walked back.
It's so difficult to talk to this person. He only answers half of the questions I ask. So forget it.
Song Jinglin was shocked behind him. Is this still the Liu Qingcao he knew?
His brisk speech and actions were completely unlike his previous working style.
When he got home today, he heard that Liu Qingcao had gone to work as a temporary worker at the town's scrap yard. He went straight to the scrap yard and then heard that she had gone to the grain yard.
Whether it is her connections or her style and personality.
All this was different from the Willow Green Grass he knew.
He found a corner outside the grain station and stood there, reflecting on whether he had been too prejudiced before.
After all, the two were not playmates when they were young and had never had much contact. The only thing he remembered was the few days when they were married.
Everything that man did went against his three views.
Liu Qingqing didn't see anyone and thought he had gone back. She breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a little worried.
Being in their seventies and living in the countryside, even if they don’t have a marriage certificate, it won’t work in this generation because they only recognize de facto marriages.
What is a common-law marriage? Even if there is no wedding, as long as the parents of the two families have reached an agreement and the girl is taken home, even if there is no marriage certificate, it is a marriage recognized by everyone.
After daydreaming for the whole afternoon, Liu Qingqing rolled up her sleeves and prepared to go home from get off work.
Before I even reached the door, I heard Sister Wang calling out, "Xiao Liu, hurry up, people are waiting for you." After saying that, she giggled, sounding a bit like an old hen sitting on brood.
Liu Qingqing took two steps at a time and said, "You didn't leave?"
"Waiting for you, can we go now?"
Liu Qingqing blinked, and the man's tone suddenly became different from before.
"Where to? How about you and I go to the cafeteria?"
Song Jinglin...
"Let's go. I'll take you to the state-owned restaurant."
Liu Qingqing nodded. She had never worked in a state-owned restaurant. Firstly, there was no need, and secondly, she was confident in her cooking skills.
Second is, well, there is no second.
