Chapter 70: Sweet Dreams and Insomnia
Before Lu Xinya sat down for dinner, her sister-in-law had already cleaned up the dining table.
Lu Xinya tasted the dishes made by Meng Songhai, her face was full of smiles, and before she could open her mouth to praise, Meng Songhai asked first, "How does it taste?" ”
Lu Xinya nodded and praised: "It's delicious." ”
"If you like to eat, eat more, eat slowly, this crucian carp has more bones."
After Jiang Weiguo left Ruili, Meng Songhai and Meng Guoqiang slept in a bedroom.
When Lu Xinya was having dinner, her sister-in-law said: "Guoqiang, you go and move your quilt to Xiao Wuzi's room, and I will make the bed for Xinya." ”
On the day Jiang Weiguo left Ruili, his sister-in-law washed the sheets and quilt covers he used.
"Order!" Meng Guoqiang immediately went back to his bedroom.
There are two shelf beds in the room where Meng Songhai lives now, and Meng Guoqiang moved into the room where Meng Songhai lives, and he can still sleep in one bed by himself, and he doesn't mind having a different bed in the same room as Meng Songhai.
After dinner and chatting for less than half an hour, Meng Songhai saw that Lu Xinya's face was a little tired, so he said that it was not early, it was time to sleep.
After Lu Xinya washed, Meng Songhai accompanied her into the bedroom.
Meng Songhai introduced: "Xinya, the quilt cover and bed sheets are clean, you can use it with confidence." ”
Lu Xinya lowered her head and said shyly, "Thank you." ”。
"You're welcome. You're tired too, go to bed early, and before you go to bed, close the door and have a good night's sleep! ”
Meng Songhai turned around and walked out of the bedroom, and Lu Xinya said goodnight to him before closing the door.
Meng Songhai returned to the bedroom, Meng Guoqiang smiled and raised his fist to punch him in the chest, and quipped: "Little Wuzi, you can do it!" ”
"Second brother, don't try so hard." Meng Songhai smiled bitterly and rubbed his chest, "If I'm not strong enough, if I am punched like this by you, I will suffer internal injuries." ”
"Hongmei hasn't come to Ruili yet, Lu Xinya came first, I admire you to death." Meng Guo emphatically said, "Lu Xinya came to Ruili alone, it seems that she really likes you." ”
"It's not early, go to bed."
Meng Songhai is not a fool, he can feel that Lu Xinya has a good impression of him, and he is quite happy in his heart, but he doesn't want to talk about this topic with his second brother for the time being.
"What time is it, when did you go to bed so early/night?"
"I want to go to bed early tonight, can't I?"
"Okay!" Meng Guoqiang smiled, "Listen to you, go to bed early!" ”
Lu Xinya took off her coat, lay down in the quilt, turned off the light, she didn't sleep with Ma Shan closed her eyes, in the dark room, she smiled, looked at the bedroom door, thinking about what happened just now.
"Hah!" Lu Xinya yawned, she was really sleepy, and muttered to herself, "It's better to go to bed early, and get up early tomorrow." ”
Lu Xinya closed her eyes, and after a while, she fell asleep, slept until dawn, and when she woke up, she recalled the beautiful dream she had last night, and laughed out loud.
Compared with usual, this night, Meng Songhai lay down and went to bed more than an hour earlier than usual, he was somewhat unaccustomed to it, plus he had some worries in his heart, and various reasons made him insomnia.
After lying on the bed for nearly three hours, Meng Songhai fell asleep in a daze.
When Meng Songhai woke up, sister-in-law Xu Qiuju was cooking porridge in the kitchen, and Lu Xinya was also in the kitchen, standing aside and chatting with her sister-in-law.
"Little Wuzi, it's not early, get up." Meng Guoqiang shouted with a smile.
Meng Songhai opened his worried eyes, saw Meng Guoqiang with an excited smile on his face, and quipped with a wry smile: "Second brother, it's rare to have such a day, you get up earlier than me, aren't you very excited?" ”
Meng Guoqiang smiled noncommittally, but the expression on his face gave the answer - he was excited.
Meng Songhai got up and began to get dressed.
"You had insomnia last night?"
Meng Songhai was silent for a long time and replied, "A little." ”
"Aren't you going to the morning market?"
Meng Songhai shook his head and said, "I'm not going." ”
"Today, are you still going to buy gambling stones?"
"Go, why don't you go. Although you can't buy gambling stones that are too expensive, you can buy some that are not too expensive. ”
"You said that in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, you will hold a jadeite auction in the courtyard, before that, you have to spend all the money on your body?"
Yesterday, Meng Songhai asked Meng Guoqiang if he had borrowed money, borrowed 50,000 yuan, he still had 20,000 yuan in his bank card, and he still had more than 6,000 yuan in cash.
"It depends!" Meng Songhai smiled, "If I come across a good gambling stone and the price is right, I will buy it on credit from the owner." ”
"What if the seller asks for a lot of money and a lot of goods?"
"If that's the case, then I'll be cheeky and ask Zheng Quangui to borrow some money."
"What if, I said if, Zheng Quangui doesn't lend you money?"
"You have a lot of questions." Meng Songhai rolled his eyes and said, "Then I'll take out the jadeite material that has been cut and mortgage it, if not, I'll sell the jadeite material early......"
At this time, Meng Guoyi pushed open the bedroom door and interrupted Meng Songhai's words: "You guys are up." ”
"Get up!" Meng Guoqiang smiled and said, "Big brother, is Lu Xinya up?" ”
"She's already up and chatting with your sister-in-law in the kitchen."
The breakfast on this day was very simple, porridge with leftovers from last night, the leftovers were put back into the pot and heated up, and the fried chicken fir that Lu Xinya brought from Spring City.
After tasting the fried chicken fir tree, Meng Guoqiang praised: "I didn't expect the oil chicken fir to be so delicious." Lu Xinya, how much does such a can of fried chicken fir cost? ”
Before Lu Xinya could answer, Meng Songhai interjected: "Second brother, this is a trade secret, you don't have to inquire." ”
"What kind of trade secret is this?" Lu Xinya grinned, "When my godmother bought these chicken fir mushrooms, there were not many of them on the market, and they were about to go off the market, and the price was a bit high, and the cost of a bottle was less than one and a half yuan." In August, if the rain is sufficient, the chicken fir fungus will not be sold at a high price, and the cost of making oil chicken fir at that time will be lower. ”
Meng Guoqiang suggested: "You can ask your godmother to make more oily chicken in August next year, and let Songhai order it from you, I estimate that it will be shipped to the capital and sold at a good price." ”
"We'll talk about it then." Lu Xinya smiled.
After chatting a few words, Lu Xinya took the initiative to ask, "Meng Songhai, has your second brother-in-law returned to the capital?" ”
"Not yet." Meng Songhai replied, "It is estimated that he will return to the capital soon, and he will call this evening." ”
Xu Qiuju smiled and said: "Little Wuzi, the jade carver you invited from Tengchong, you have to give them food expenses, and they eat in restaurants, I think it's too cost-effective." See if you can do that...... You give Xinya a salary, let her stay and help me, in addition to cooking for you, the two of us can also cook three meals a day for those jade carvers, provide free food, and you don't have to pay for food to them, okay? ”
"Okay!" Meng Songhai nodded with a smile and said, "Before, a jade carver mentioned this matter to me, sister-in-law, I was afraid that you worked too hard and didn't tell you about it." ”
"Don't talk about the past, wait a while, let your eldest brother talk to those jade carvers." Xu Qiuju smiled and said, "Just now, I asked Xinya, she is in Spring City, earning one hundred and twenty yuan a month, three meals a day are free, she left her hometown and came to Ruili, you can't treat her badly." ”
"No, it won't." Meng Songhai nodded with a smile, looked at Lu Xinya a few times, and asked, "Xinya, I'll give you two hundred yuan a month, okay?" ”
