Chapter 045 Eternity
After lunch, Qin Mengmeng went to the bun shop to deliver lunch to Meng Meili.
The bun shop is actually not far from my home, but it is in the city center, so there is a lot of traffic and people flowing around.
The traffic was so congested that cars were flowing like water.
So Qin Mengmeng doesn't like to go.
But this time, the three of us had to drive there so that the family of four could reunite.
I can only get stuck in the traffic and move forward slowly.
Qin Dashan was driving the car very patiently. Qin Mengmeng and Qin Chuan sat in the back seat, looking into each other's eyes.
Qin Chuan cleared his throat: "How come you opened a tea shop?"
To launder money.
This is naturally something that cannot be said.
Qin Chuan's intuition is quite interesting and he is much more difficult to deal with than his parents.
Qin Mengmeng said silently: "Because when I was working outside the city, I met a man whose family lived in the mountains. He was able to contact the tea factory and get good tea at a low price."
"Oh." Qin Chuan said, "Then when you open your shop, can you give me some tea to try?"
Qin Mengmeng smiled: "Okay, no problem."
She actually met a co-worker from the south while working on a construction site. His home was surrounded by tea mountains.
He also works part-time selling tea in his circle of friends.
She was telling the truth.
Qin Dashan suddenly spoke up, his tone very relieved: "No matter what, opening a store and staying here is better than running around to construction sites all over the world."
"A construction site is not a place for people to stay, especially if you have been spoiled since childhood."
Qin Mengmeng was unhappy: "Are you saying I can't do it?"
Qin Dashan sighed: "Alas, that's not what I meant. Anyway, it's good that you're back."
He fell silent and drove on.
With a flash of inspiration, Qin Mengmeng suddenly understood why her family rarely talked to each other.
She might be a little too aggressive in her daily life.
This is certainly a useful technique for enemies like the PE teacher.
But when it comes to family members, sometimes you still need to be gentle.
But Qin Mengmeng felt that since they were all family members, there was no need to pretend and it didn't matter if she revealed her true nature.
"I mean..." She corrected her words, feeling a little embarrassed for some reason. "I don't think the construction site is hard. I'm quite happy here."
Qin Chuan sneered: "That must be because you made them unhappy."
Qin Mengmeng rolled her eyes.
"That's also my ability. If they make me happy, I will definitely make them happy. If they make me unhappy and I don't have the ability to make them unhappy, then I will definitely be unhappy staying here."
After saying this long string of tongue twisters, Qin Mengmeng even felt a little smug.
“I didn’t quit the construction site because I couldn’t stand it and ran away,” she emphasized. “It was because I found that I could make more money selling tea leaves.”
And the live broadcast room is more difficult than the construction site.
Qin Dashan said: "It doesn't matter how much you earn, as long as it's enough for you to spend."
Finally, we arrived at Meng Meili’s bun shop.
Meng Meili's steamed bun shop is one of the most renowned delicacies in Xincheng, which has been open for more than ten years. The front of the shop is a store and the back is a bedroom. The rent is not cheap, but the shop is always full of customers, and there are often even queues. There is income from three meals a day, and the profit is quite good.
Meng Meili hired two relatives to help in the store. It was already two or three in the afternoon, and there were fewer people in the store.
Meng Meili asked the helper to look after the store. She walked out of the door and looked around. When she saw the family car, she quickly took off her apron and walked over.
She was a middle-aged woman who was not actually beautiful. She was plump and white with a smile on her face. In everyone's eyes, she looked like the owner of a bun shop.
"Where's the food?" She got in the car and asked for food.
Qin Mengmeng handed over the packed lunch box, sat in the passenger seat, and slowly started to eat.
After the meal, the four of them went their separate ways.
Qin Dashan went out in the car, Qin Mengmeng went to the airport, Qin Chuan went home, and Meng Meili went back to look after the bun shop.
Qin Mengmeng sometimes felt that their entire family, except Qin Chuan, could be said to be full of loyal heroes.
Construction workers, truck drivers, restaurant owners.
To put it nicely, they are the social pillar covering the three industries of construction, transportation and catering. To put it bluntly, they are the bottom of society that cannot be put on the table.
As she thought about it, Qin Mengmeng couldn't help laughing out loud, attracting the attention of the whole family.
"What are you doing?" Meng Meili said vaguely while eating, "You act like a mental patient every day."
"I'm not mentally ill." Qin Mengmeng said seriously, "I have a certificate from the hospital. I'm in good spirits."
This was the mental hospital that the school contacted on a voluntary basis to help her when she was in the hospital.
The main reason is that if she is diagnosed with mental illness, the school will bear less responsibility.
After Qin Mengmeng finished speaking, she felt that she should be nicer to her mother after all, and explained: "I'm just happy."
In fact, the time they have to reunite as a family has never been much, and looking into the future, it seems that it will be less and less.
Time is cruel and life is unpredictable.
Qin Mengmeng wanted to say something, but she glanced at Qin Chuan beside her and finally held back.
Perhaps the fact that she was thinking about death at such a good time was indeed a mental illness.
"I probably won't leave Xincheng in the future." Qin Mengmeng said, "Are you happy?"
Meng Meili held the lunch box and rolled her eyes: "What a joke, you can run wherever you want, I don't care about you."
Qin Chuan chuckled and whispered, "I don't believe it."
After Meng Meili finished her meal, she handed the lunch box to Qin Mengmeng, who put it back into the plastic bag.
Meng Meili got out of the car and left. Before leaving, she said, "Lao Qin, be careful on the road. Qin Chuan, remember to mop the floor at home. You bastard, do whatever you want. I can't control you."
Qin Mengmeng giggled, rolled down the car window and waved at her.
"Let's go, bye."
On the way back, Qin Chuan turned his head, rested his forehead on the car window, turned his back to Qin Mengmeng, and said sullenly: "Why are you so sad?"
Qin Mengmeng said: "I'm not sad."
Qin Chuan said: "You can't hide it from me. Have you forgotten? We are twins."
Qin Mengmeng was silent.
Yes, why is she sad when it is such a time to be happy?
"Nothing," she said. "It's just that the good times are gone in a flash."
Nothing in this world is permanent.
Parents will grow old, brothers and sisters will grow apart, and colleagues who have common goals and tasks and work well together will also go their separate ways after the project is completed.
Everything related to people is beautiful but short-lived.
But buildings are not eternal. They can stand for thousands of years, but they will still weather and collapse over time. Even after repeated repairs, they still cannot be restored to normal use.
There may be eternal mysteries in the live broadcast room, but what is the point if Qin Mengmeng is the only one who is eternal?
Qin Mengmeng sometimes hopes that she can die before all the good things are shattered.
Three people would be heartbroken over this, so she couldn't.
She thought, maybe there really was a ghost chasing her in secret.
