Rose Beauty Wine
After these few days of contact, Song's mother treated the two little guys as her own grandsons and had already stepped into the role of a grandmother. That was why she was thinking about saving money for her daughters.
Both Dabao and Xiaobao are smart and cute, so our daughter must not be partial to the eldest or the youngest. Although the eldest dotes on his younger brother, we adults cannot be partial.
Living in the capital is so expensive, and they still have to find housing for their two children. Although Song's mother knew that they would most likely be assigned a dormitory when they work in the future, it would be fine if it was a house of the same level as their father's. The two little guys grew up in a big house, so could they live in a dormitory where they have to queue up to use the toilet after graduation?
Song Shixia knew her mother's worries, so she handed the bag to her mother and stopped hiding it.
"Mom, don't worry. I can think of everything you can think of. The children are still young, and I just want to be filial to you and dad. If you don't let me contribute, it means you are favoring boys over girls. Why can my brother spend money on you but I can't?"
After saying this, Song's mother glared at her daughter unhappily.
"Okay, then you buy it. Don't come to me and cry when you run out of money."
Song Shixia hugged her mother's arm and shook.
"No, if I run out of money I'll ask you and dad for money to live off them."
Song's mother smiled helplessly.
"Got it. Buy less when you go out."
Having said that, Song Shixia, who had just finished buying daily necessities, ran to the clothing area and went straight to the store to start shopping.
Ji Yanran pulled Aunt Song, and Song's mother turned her head away and didn't want to look, as if she wouldn't know how much money she had spent if she didn't look.
Song Shixia was already familiar with her mother's size, and she knew her mother would definitely not want to try them on, so she bought short-sleeved shirts and a dacron shirt in her mother's size, and also picked out summer clothes for her father.
Song Shixia didn't believe that her parents would keep all the clothes they bought for summer even though they were yellow and faded. The short-sleeved shirts were cheap, so they wouldn't be reluctant to part with them.
Ji Yanran said kindly, "Auntie, look, a short-sleeved shirt is only five yuan. The clothes my sister-in-law bought for you and uncle cost less than one month's salary of my brother."
Song's mother was surprised and asked, "A short-sleeved shirt costs only five yuan? Are clothes so cheap in the city?"
Ji Yanran explained cheerfully, "I remember it was quite expensive a few years ago. Since last year, many merchants have been bringing goods to resell, and the price of short-sleeved shirts has become cheaper and cheaper. This is Dacron."
Song's mother suddenly realized.
"A shirt at our county supply and marketing cooperative costs 20 yuan, just the one I'm wearing."
Ji Yanran covered her mouth and laughed.
"If you have a connection, you can buy two of the one you're wearing for five dollars. That's a huge loss."
Song's mother felt very sad when she heard this, as she had wasted 15 yuan.
Song Shixia came back carrying the clothes, and for the first time ever, she did not see any disapproval on her mother's face.
"What's wrong?"
Ji Yanran explained it once and Song Shixia understood.
"Mom, I told you before that prices in the capital are cheaper than in our county. Do you believe it now?"
Mother Song nodded sadly.
"I feel bad about the 15 dollars."
Song Shixia raised her eyebrows at Yanran.
"That's easy. I can buy a few more and you can take them back and sell them. The supply and marketing cooperative sells them for 20 yuan each, so why don't you sell them for 15?"
Song's mother clapped her hands.
"I never thought of this idea. Buy a few more and I'll send you the money later."
Song Shixia grabbed her mother's wrist.
"Don't send me the money. If you keep being so polite to me, I will...I will come back a few days later after the Chinese New Year."
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll use the extra money to buy another piglet and save the meat for you guys."
Song Shixia smiled sweetly and said, "That's fine." It's still unclear who will end up with the pork.
"Yanran, come with me. I can't carry it alone."
Song's mother was originally reluctant to follow her daughter into the clothing store because she wanted to make money.
"Mom, this is a one-size-fits-all. Let me see if the style looks good on you. If it does, we can buy them all."
Song Shixia winked at her mother, and her mother nodded.
The salesperson at the side said enviously: "Aunt, your daughter is really filial."
Mother Song smiled shyly, with a sweet look on her face.
"This girl just loves to spend money recklessly and won't listen to any advice."
"That's great! How many parents raise their children only to turn them into ungrateful ones? Your daughter is hundreds or thousands of times better than others."
The salesperson's few words made Song's mother feel happy. By the time she realized what was happening, her daughter had already packed a large bag of clothes.
Song Shixia wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Mom, I've chosen it."
Thinking about the net profit of ten yuan for each short-sleeved shirt, Song's mother's eyes curved into crescents, and the mother and daughter smiled as if they were carved from the same mold.
This time, Song Shixia was not stopped from paying. Ji Yanran watched this scene in amazement. It only took her sister-in-law a few words to make Aunt Song accept the large purchase. She finally understood what it meant to please someone.
In the end, because there were too many things, Ji Yanran ran to make a phone call and asked the driver to take them there.
The driver was stunned when he saw the things, but he didn't ask any more questions and just helped carry the things.
The gaps in the back seat of the car were filled with bags of all sizes. He bought 20 sets of short-sleeved shirts and dacron shirts of different styles for men and women.
Song Shixia thought that this business would not last long, and he would leave after making a profit, so as not to make too much and be noticed by others. His parents were honest people, and the farm was their main business, so it was okay to make a profit from reselling it once.
Song Shixia whispered to her mother,
"We are doing this as reselling, although it's not legal, but we should stop doing it after we sell this batch, to avoid being reported."
Song's mother had originally planned to purchase another batch of goods if the sales were good this time. Since her daughter said so, she took it seriously in mind.
"I understand. We'll stop doing this after we make this money."
Song Shixia blushed, her mother's words sounded as if she was going to do something illegal.
Ji Yanran held her face with her hands, little stars in her eyes.
"Sister-in-law, you are very good at making money, much better than my brother."
She could earn at least several hundred yuan from so many shirts, and the cost was only 200 yuan. It was the first time she realized that money could be made so easily.
Song Shixia laughed, "If you want to make money, I'll teach you later."
Ji Yanran nodded heavily, "Let's wait until the college entrance examination results come out, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be distracted by random thoughts and won't be able to do well."
Song Shixia wanted to say it wasn't that serious, but seeing her serious expression, he didn't say anything.
Ji Weiqing's face showed hesitation. Song Shixia turned his head to look at him.
"What do you want to say?"
I noticed that he was evasive in his eyes since this morning, as if he had done something wrong. I waited for almost a whole day but he didn't confess.
"I told you not to be angry."
Song Shixia smiled at him calmly.
"You go first."
“I bought my dad a bicycle.”
Song Shixia confirmed again,
"Just a bicycle?"
"Well, I didn't buy anything else. I have a friend who can buy a motorcycle, but I know you would definitely disagree."
Song Shixia stood on tiptoe and patted his head gently, like patting a puppy.
"You did the right thing. I won't blame you for wasting money this time. It's convenient to have a bicycle to go out."
Ji Weiqing had planned to buy a bicycle last year, but he was stopped when he tried to buy a TV last year, which resulted in him not making the purchase.
Later, when he went to the countryside during the Spring Festival, he wanted to ask Song Qiu Sheng to go to the county town to buy a bicycle several times. However, no one was open during the Spring Festival, so he temporarily shelved the plan of giving the bicycle.
Song Shixia was very curious, "Why do you always like to buy things for my family behind my back?"
Ji Weiqing corrected, "It's our family. I didn't think of doing it behind your back. I just wanted to give you a surprise, but it seems like I screwed up every time."
Song Shixia pondered for a while.
"Indeed, maybe your reactions were too calm each time, which caused me not to take it seriously. I have to apologize to you for this. Next time, I will definitely treat it as a surprise."
After all, it was his good intention, and essentially he wanted to make her and her family happy. Even though his method was right but his emotions were not expressed correctly, he couldn't dampen his enthusiasm.
Ji Weiqing pursed her lips tightly, "Teacher said surprises should come as a surprise. If I tell you in advance, it won't be a surprise."
What a surprise! Song Shixia was secretly glad that Ji Weiqing combined the actual gift giving with his own plan instead of following the teacher's suggestion. Who knew what Dean Shen would ask him to give?
When Song's mother learned that her son-in-law had bought a bicycle for the family, she felt extremely complicated and had no choice but to go home and buy an extra pig to raise for her in-laws, and then give the whole pig to them during the Chinese New Year.
After sending his mother away, Song Shixia spent the whole day at home making medicinal wine and doing beauty treatments for Yanran.
It has to be said that young girls have less skin condition. Yanran has been tanned by the sun, but her skin is good. She rarely gets acne on her face. She only gets acne on her forehead and chin during her menstrual period.
Ji Yanran pinched her nose to resist.
"Sister-in-law, I don't want to drink."
Song Shixia put one hand on her waist and pinched her ear with the other.
"This is a beauty wine. Don't worry, the alcohol content is the same as that of wine. You are an adult, and mom also said that you can drink half a glass."
Ji Yanran started school late and was one of the younger students in the class. Most of her classmates were around 19 or 20 years old, and she was just over 18 years old.
As for the fact that she didn't like drinking, Song Shixia didn't intend to force her. He just waited for this wine from high school until graduation, so that she could take care of her body when the weather started to get hot. In the future, as long as she didn't do anything stupid, she wouldn't have menstrual cramps that would make her roll around.
Unfortunately, he couldn't say this out loud, so he had to force the little girl to drink the medicinal wine.
"The ingredients in this medicinal wine are all friendly to us women. Look, there are red dates, longans, and rose petals. Think about the black tea I gave you before to prevent dysmenorrhea. Isn't it very similar?"
When she heard this, Ji Yanran immediately jumped up from the sofa.
She grabbed her sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, save me! I'm almost out of tea!"
After saying that, Ji Yanran drank 200 ml of the beauty wine in one breath. Her face wrinkled into a ball, but soon her brows relaxed again. It didn't seem that it was difficult to drink, and the smell of alcohol was not very strong, but it smelled scary.
Song Shixia was startled by her.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you afraid of being scolded? Beauty wine can also relieve menstrual cramps. Let's see if it works this time."
Ji Yanran was half-believing and half-doubting.
"Really? If beauty wine can also relieve my period pain, I will drink it every day."
Song Shixia stretched out his finger and gently touched her forehead.
"No matter how good the medicinal wine is, you can't drink it every day. I can only give it to you for half a month at most. If even this doesn't work, then the scented tea will be even less effective."
Ji Yanran hugged the wine bottle on the table.
"I declare that this bottle of red date and rose beauty wine belongs to me."
"Take it, take it, it was originally prepared for you." The Ji family originally had this wine, but unfortunately the mother-in-law didn't know it was prepared for Yanran, so she gave it to Zhang Wanqing. It is estimated that Hu Yu was able to get pregnant because she drank a lot of this wine.
I wish you all a happy National Day! I will find time to update in the next two days. The specific time is yet to be determined. I have been so busy visiting relatives during the holidays that my legs are almost broken.
I might revise the post tonight, and if you see an update, it must be me correcting a typo.
