Chapter 100 Future Plans
“Dinner is ready!”
Qin Jin brought out the dishes and shouted.
“Here it comes, here it comes!”
Song Shuyan pulled Qin Fei into the kitchen to wash their hands, not even glancing at the two men standing outside.
"It smells so good!" Qin Fei praised sincerely.
Grandma Qin came out of the kitchen, laughing cheerfully, "Eat more later, it's all you can eat!"
"Hmm!" Qin Fei sniffed the aroma of food in the air and nodded vigorously.
Everyone sat down in turn.
"We're having sweet potato rice today."
Grandma Qin pointed at the bowls of rice on the table and said, "I made porridge because I was worried that you wouldn't have enough to eat. If you don't have enough, how can you have the energy to work in the afternoon?"
The villagers are used to eating a mixture of coarse and fine grains, and no family is rich enough to eat white rice for every meal.
Sweet potato rice is made by placing peeled sweet potatoes on top of rice and steaming them together.
Song Shuyan doesn't eat much, but she quite likes the taste of this dish, which is sweet. She can eat half a bowl without adding any other dishes.
"Try this." A piece of dried fish was placed in her bowl.
She looked up and saw that it was Zhou Jingshen who handed it to her. Her lips curled up slightly, with a shallow dimple, "Thank you."
Chen Du paused with his chopsticks, feeling upset and anxious.
Now, he no longer has the right to pick up food for her.
The meal was extremely terrible.
After dinner, Zhou Jingshen dragged him away, not giving him a chance to say anything to Song Shuyan.
After the two left, Grandma Qin sent Qin Jin to wash the dishes.
Song Shuyan and Qin Fei wanted to help, but Grandma Qin refused. "No, we have to let this kid do more work. When he gets married, he will love his wife!"
Qin Fei covered her mouth and laughed, "Grandma Qin, whoever marries Qin Jin in the future will be blessed."
"That's right!" Grandma Qin also laughed.
Her son Ajin did not have the long-term planning of his parents, so she naturally had to train him well so that he would have more advantages in the marriage market in the future.
There must be families who love their daughters so much that they would be attracted to Ajin just for his character and thoughtfulness, right?
"By the way, Grandma Qin, take this!"
Song Shuyan took out two big unity notes and said, "This is our food allowance."
Grandma Qin quickly waved her hands, "Comrade Zhou has already given it!"
"When did he give it to you?"
He didn't tell her.
Song Shuyan was afraid that Grandma Qin was unwilling to accept the money, "Grandma Qin, just accept it. If you don't accept it, how can I have the nerve to come to your house for dinner tonight?"
Grandma Qin was at a loss for words. "Comrade Zhou really passed! Look!"
She took out three large unity notes and said, "Comrade Zhou said that you and Qin Zhiqing might come to my house for dinner every day during this period. This will give Ajin time to go up the mountain and catch some small things to add to your dishes."
Qin Jin poked his head out of the kitchen and said, "Grandma, if you let me work, will you give me half of the money?"
"Go! Go! Go!"
"I'll save it for you so you can get married!"
Qin Jin curled his lips. That's how grandma is. She is reluctant to spend the money in her hands. Last time when she was seriously ill, she was reluctant to spend the money to buy medicine.
He still doesn't know how much money his grandmother has saved.
Qin Fei smiled and joked, "Okay, okay, I'm taking advantage of it again."
After leaving Grandma Qin's house, the two went back to the Youth League Home to take a nap.
When Song Shuyan woke up, it was already afternoon.
She decided to find something to do.
He flipped through the newspaper he had taken from the captain's office.
She had thought about it a long time ago. Even if she got married, she couldn't rely solely on men for support. Only when she was financially independent could she be strong.
But there are not many ways to make money now. You either have to find a job or work in the black market.
The black market can be passed.
She had no goods to sell and no money to buy them. Besides, dealing in the black market was very risky, so it would be better for her to wait a few more years before starting a business.
Finding a job is not easy either.
She fixed her eyes on the newspaper.
She remembered that there was an advertisement for writing in the newspaper, and if accepted, the pay would be two yuan per thousand words.
She can try.
Just do it.
She copied down the address of the newspaper that collected the manuscripts, carefully read the requirements for the essay several times, and closed her eyes to begin to compose the article.
Half an hour later, she sat at the table, picked up a pen and started writing furiously.
As I wrote this, I heard the sound of people returning from work outside.
The next day, she borrowed a bicycle from the team leader and prepared to go to the town to mail the manuscript.
In fact, writing articles is not without cost. A stamp costs eight cents, and stationery and ink are not cheap either.
She just hopes that her manuscript will be accepted.
She got on her bike and was halfway there when a familiar figure came towards her and waved, "Shuyan!"
The visitor was wearing black pants, a fashionable short jacket, and had two pigtails. She had a smile on her face and looked pretty.
Song Shuyan also rode with one hand, raised his left hand and waved, greeting happily, "Ning Yue!"
"Why are you here?"
"I came to play with you!"
When they arrived, they both stopped the car at the same time.
Ning Yue snorted coquettishly, "Since you don't come to play with me, I have no choice but to come to you!"
Song Shuyan smiled sweetly, "I was just thinking that we'll have plenty of time to play together in the future."
"Oh~ I understand!" Ning Yue smiled at her jokingly.
"Are you embarrassed to come to the family compound to look for me?"
Song Shuyan blushed.
"As long as you understand."
Ning Yue laughed, "What's there to be embarrassed about? You came to see me, and the aunts in the compound probably don't know that you are Brother Zhou's girlfriend."
"Besides, don't you want to see how the family compound that Brother Zhou applied for is doing?"
"How is it? Are you excited?"
"Do you want to go and have a look?"
Song Shuyan smiled lightly, "A little bit, but I want to go to the post office to mail a letter now, would you like to go with me?"
Ning Yue got on the bike and said, "Let's go!"
On the way, she asked curiously, "Who is the letter for?"
Song Shuyan: "Keep it secret."
How could she have the nerve to say that she wanted to submit her work? What if it wasn't accepted? Wouldn't that be so embarrassing?
Let’s wait and see when she receives her first payment for her royalties.
When he arrived at the post office, Song Shuyan took out his banknotes, bought a stamp, and used the glue from the post office to stick it on the envelope.
Ning Yue's dog came over to take a look.
“This address…”
Song Shuyan quickly covered it up.
Ning Yue raised her eyebrows, "I saw it!"
She whispered, "You want to submit an article?"
Song Shuyan blushed and nodded, "Well, don't tell anyone else, I want to try it."
Ning Yue covered her mouth, "Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you!"
Ning Yue was also a scholar and knew the difficulty of submitting articles to newspapers. She knew that Song Shuyan was worried that the manuscript would not be accepted and that others might laugh at her if they knew.
It was still early after I sent the letter.
Ning Yue suggested, "Come on, I'll take you to the art troupe to play?"
"Can I go?" Song Shuyan asked.
Ning Yue swore confidently, "Yes! I'm working in the art troupe now. It's a clerical position that doesn't require travel, just like doing odd jobs. I'm on vacation today, so I can take you to see the sisters in the art troupe dance!"
Song Shuyan's heart was moved, "Let's go!"
Who doesn’t like to watch beautiful women dancing!
When we arrived at the art troupe, we had smooth sailing thanks to Ning Yue's facial recognition.
I could vaguely hear people passing by whispering, "Who is the person Ning Yue brought?"
