Mulberry wine

After dinner, Song Qiu Sheng cleaned the table and put the dirty dishes into the sink.

Before dinner, Yao Xue called to find someone to help her hire a cleaning maid. The job includes sweeping, mopping, washing clothes, washing dishes, drying quilts, etc. She thinks this is not enslaving others, and even if others have opinions about her, they can't use this as an excuse to attack her.

Song Shixia's cooking skills were praised by her sister-in-law.

"Your brother is right, the food you cook is one of the best I've ever eaten!"

Song Shixia smiled with crooked eyes.

"I've been cooking since I was a kid, but it's definitely not as authentic as yours."

Yao Xue quickly praised, "No, authenticity depends on the person. What's most important is that it tastes good. I think what you made is very authentic."

She thought Aunt Song’s cooking was delicious, but it turned out that little sister Song’s cooking was even more delicious. It revived her appetite, which had been poor since she came to the north.

Yao Xue joked, "Just because of your skills, I can't bear to let you go back. I really want to live with you."

Song Shixia invited her warmly, "Sister-in-law, if you like the food I cook, come to my house to play with me after the college entrance examination."

Yao Xue smiled happily, "Okay, it's a deal, I'll help you make money then."

Song Qiusheng came out of the kitchen, and Song Shixia looked at him with a smile.

"I'm lazy and I'm waiting for my brother to make a lot of money so I can live a good life."

Song Qiusheng followed suit and laughed.

"Don't worry, the money you gave me for the investment has been accounted for, and I will give you dividends at the end of the year. It will definitely be as much as you want."

Yao Xue had previously known that Xiao Song's sister was supporting her brother by investing in the company, and she had always been curious.

"I think you would be better than your brother in business. Why are you so lazy?"

Song Shixia confessed frankly,

"Making money is so troublesome, and I have to maintain messy interpersonal relationships. I just like to live a simple life."

Yao Xue seemed to understand, but not quite.

"You are living well now, but the economy is developing rapidly, and you may be short of money when prices soar."

Song Shixia understood these principles. She even knew the future direction of real estate. Even if she didn't know which specific company it was, she knew something about the predecessors of some Internet companies. At the very least, she knew which pieces of land in the capital would be the most valuable in the future.

All the ways to make money are available, but the thought of returning to the same state as in my previous life instantly makes me lose the motivation to make a lot of money.

Yao Xue was really thinking about her, and Song Shixia answered truthfully,

"I have considered all these, but maybe I am a straightforward person and cannot learn to flatter others when negotiating business."

So what if the children of the rich are entrepreneurs? Without any background, they will still be servile when they meet the big guys. So what does financial freedom matter?

King Yan is easy to deal with, but the little devil is hard to deal with. Every year, the management fee alone is an expense. Although the account does not lack this money, the gap in my heart when I become the most hated person is too big.

Even if she wanted to throw the jar into the ground and break off relations with him, there were still hundreds of employees waiting for food, including those in poverty-stricken areas who relied on her financial support. The four words "exhausted" were a mixture of her hard work and tears.

Yao Xue hesitated for a while.

"So that's what you're worried about. With me and your brother by your side, what are you afraid of? We have the conditions in our family, so there's no need to ask others for it."

To show his loyalty, Yao Xue's father donated a lot of machines without charge. He purchased all of them from abroad in the name of purchasing goods for the company, and then donated them to the state-owned factories in a low-key manner.

Therefore, Yao Xue's business in the capital is basically unimpeded. If she encounters any obstacles, it is because she has not donated enough machines. She can just donate more.

"My father has contracted two overseas production lines of medical equipment to donate to the Capital Military District Hospital. With my support, who dares to let you serve him tea or wine? Although I am not a senior official, I still have a say."

Song Shixia was stunned for a moment. She never thought that she would be attracted by a handsome girl, and that she would be her future sister-in-law.

"Thank you, sister-in-law! I'll think about it carefully when I get home." If one can make money without any worries and without having to be servile, it seems that one is not very averse to doing business.

Yao Xue held her hand.

"I really think you have a talent for business. You were born with this talent. You are much better than your brother. Your brother relies on his quick brain, but you are really smart."

"Besides, you don't even need to think about what kind of business you want to start. You can just register a trademark and make a lot of money even if you just sell medicinal liquor and tea."

After Yao Xue finished speaking, she signaled Song Qiu Sheng to take the car out of the big box.

"This is a small toy my father bought for your two children. Don't be quick to refuse it. It must be a thank-you gift from him because the medicinal wine sold well. The old man is not short of money, so you can take it with confidence."

Song Shixia really wanted to ask, "Is this also called a car?" Sister-in-law must have a misunderstanding of cars. This is clearly a BMW in the eyes of a child!

The car that Yao Xue mentioned is the bumper car that children will play with in the amusement park in the future. Children can hold the steering wheel and operate it by themselves, and they will not be injured even if they hit something. There is definitely no such advanced toy in China at present.

She was delighted. "Thank you, sister-in-law. My two little ones will definitely like it. I think no child can resist the temptation of a car."

The kids couldn't get enough of the little plastic racing cars. They would go crazy playing with such a big car!

"I'm glad you like it. My dad will definitely send the money to me in a few days. Even if he can't, I will help you pay it."

Yao Xue did not let Song Shixia do business out of selfish desire to get Song Qiu Sheng to marry her as soon as possible, but she truly felt that little Sister Song was worth it.

Song Shixia smiled and said, "Don't worry. There is no urgent need for money at home recently. I believe in my sister-in-law's character."

Yao Xue pinched her face.

"Your face is so well maintained, it's so smooth and tender that I want to take a bite of it, it's so cute."

Song Shixia shyly dodged and said, "Next time I will make some fruit wine for my sister-in-law. Mulberry wine is good for the health of us female compatriots and has the effect of nourishing the skin and whitening the skin."

Yao Xue was looking forward to it. "I feel safe with the wine you brewed yourself. The taste is not too strong. I won't get drunk and make mistakes if I drink a glass before going to bed at night."

Song Qiu Sheng was sending his sister home. There was a large cardboard box on the back seat of the car, which contained all sorts of toys and children's cars.

Song Shixia joked with her brother.

"The gift my sister-in-law gave me is so expensive. I'm under so much pressure. You have to work hard, brother."

It was rare for Song Qiusheng to be so overbearing.

"What are you afraid of? Just accept what she gives you. Sooner or later, we will be a family."

Song Shixia relaxed and leaned back in his chair. "I heard you two chatting today. I think you are a real man. Come on, work hard and strive to let my sister-in-law and I live a good life as soon as possible."

Song Qiusheng teased her,

"Are you having a hard time now?"

"It's different. When I say good days, I mean at least the days when you have to be picked up and dropped off by cars, when there are a bunch of cars in the garage and you have to worry about which car to drive when you go out. That kind of day."

Song Qiusheng steered the car without looking away.

"Don't you have a driver at home? You are beginning to envy your own life."

Song Shixia helplessly threw up his hands, "He's a government driver, and the car is also a government car, what does it have to do with me? I'm usually too embarrassed to sit in one."

"Okay, you're my sister. Leave the pressure to your brother and enjoy your life."

Song Shixia pursed her lips and smiled.

"I'm trying to give you motivation and let you know that you're not fighting alone."

Song Qiusheng followed her words.

"Yes, yes, I am not alone. I have two heavy burdens on my shoulders."

…

The train to the capital temporarily stopped at the provincial capital railway station in Province H, and the radio broadcast that it would depart in five minutes.

In the sleeper car, Ji Weiqing and Su Aimin were in the upper and lower berths. The soft sleeper car had four beds, but only two people lived in it, so it was usually empty.

Su Aimin was leaning against the head of the bed, reading a martial arts novel with great interest.

"We were able to afford train tickets this time, and they were sleeper berths. I've only ridden in soft sleeper berths three times."

Ji Weiqing was writing something on the small table. He looked out the window at the people coming and going.

“This is my first time sitting in a soft sleeper.”

Su Aimin stretched his head out and asked, "Do you think it's possible that it was because of you?"

Ji Weiqing looked confused.

"Why do you say that, Senior?"

Su Aimin put down the book and lay on the edge of the bed.

"Look, all the tea you brought this time was drunk by the seniors. They should book a soft sleeper for us for the sake of the tea, right?"

In fact, with their identities, they could buy train tickets and sleeper berths, but they were escorted by soldiers every way, and their superiors decided what kind of car they should take when they returned.

Ji Weiqing wanted to say it was impossible, but when he thought about the fact that he had only drunk half a can of tea and the rest was divided up by his seniors on various pretexts, he hesitated for a moment.

"Look, you're not sure yourself. Comrade Song's tea is really good. Can you bring some for me some time? I'll pay for it!"

Ji Weiqing did not agree immediately, "I'm not sure if there is any."

Su Aimin didn't mind and said, "It's okay, just ask for me. If there is, leave some for me. If there is none, it's okay too."

"Um."

The voice of the flight attendant coming from the corridor interrupted the conversation between the two people.

"Comrade, you've come to the wrong carriage. The tickets you two bought are for standing room only, which is not in this carriage."

"How do we read this ticket? We can't read, so they just said it was this train, and we found an open door and got in."

"Just go forward from here and go five more carriages and you will arrive."

"Thank you, comrade. We have never been to the capital before, and this is our first time riding a train."

"You're welcome. I'll take you there."

Su Aimin wanted to make a joke, but unexpectedly Ji Weiqing, who was working downstairs, got up, put on his shoes and went out.

Ji Weiqing opened the door and walked out, just in time to see the couple carrying large and small bags and carrying backpacks on their backs.

"Mom?"

Song's father and mother were pushing their way forward, unaware that someone was calling them from behind.

Ji Weiqing walked quickly forward and finally walked behind the couple through the crowd.

"Dad, Mom, are you going to the capital?"

Song's mother never expected to meet her son-in-law on the train.

"Xiao Ji? Why are you on the train?"

There were people coming and going in the carriage, and if the car stopped, it would block other people's way. Ji Weiqing took the luggage from Song's mother's hand on his own initiative.

"I happened to be returning home from a business trip today. I just heard a familiar voice in the carriage, so I came out to take a look."

Song's mother tried to grab the luggage back immediately.

"How can you carry this sack? It's not heavy at all. Just let me carry it."

My son-in-law looks like a respectable man. It would be so embarrassing if he was seen standing with his colleagues.

Ji Weiqing did not let go.

"Go to my compartment. There are two empty beds in the compartment."

Song's mother wanted to refuse, but the passenger behind her started shouting.

"You guys still can't get through. I've been waiting for you for a long time and you still won't leave!"

Song's father quickly apologized, and Ji Weiqing took the couple to his own box.

Su Aimin sat up from the bed with a grumble.

"What is this?"

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law, I'm going to buy their sleeper berth tickets."

Su Aimin quickly climbed down and put on his shoes.

"Go ahead, I'll entertain you."

Song's mother tried to dissuade him.

"Xiao Ji, don't bother yourself. The train only takes four hours, so you don't need to buy a sleeper berth."

Su Aimin smiled and helped pour water.

"Uncle and aunt, Professor Ji is showing his filial piety to you two, so please stop persuading him."

Song's mother and husband looked at each other in bewilderment. They thought even the hard seats were expensive, so how much would a berth cost?
