This meal was eaten for an hour before it ended, and after the wine and food were full, Xiao Douding was already sleepy and couldn't go to sleep.

Lin Zhong took a sip of tea, watched Shen Qingqing brush the dishes in the kitchen, and suddenly a sense of comfort arose, he didn't know how to work hard at home every day, and he didn't care about a word, but it was the widow with a bad reputation in this village who gave him warmth.

Besides, Shen Qingqing is not like what everyone says, but he is in charge of housework, speaks generously, and does things very decently, when he looks at Shen Qingqing's busy back, he doesn't know why he is happy in his heart.

Lin Zhong looked out the window, it was already dark, he was here so as not to be seen by someone who wanted to attract gossip, although he was reluctant, he still got up: "Qingqing, I don't see that it's too early, I'll leave first." ”

"Wait a minute." Shen Qingqing heard that he hurriedly wiped the water in his hand to wash the dishes, and walked into the inner room without knowing what he was doing.

When Lin Zhongzheng was puzzled, Shen Qingqing had already put a few copper plates in front of him.

Lin Zhong didn't think about it, so he refused: "What are you doing here?" I never wanted your copper plate. ”

This Shen Qingqing is such a smart person, he has long guessed why Lin Zhong was kicked out today, but he is not easy to speak for the sake of face, so he just said: "You don't do this, you have helped me a lot these days, and this money is not much, so you can take it quickly." ”

Lin Zhong was stubborn and waved his hand: "I said that this is for you, so I will definitely not accept the money, and besides, I also had dinner at your house today, and I can't care if I collect money again." ”

Shen Qingqing didn't listen to him say so much, and directly put the copper plate in his hand: "I'll give it to you, you just take it, if you don't take it, even if you give me a grain of rice, I won't ask for it." ”

Seeing that Shen Qingqing was resolute, Lin Zhong had no choice but to accept and leave.

After Lin Zhong left, Shen Qingqing thought that he would send glutinous rice dumplings to Zhen Qian's restaurant tomorrow, so he made some glutinous rice dumplings while he was not sleepy.

The next day, when the chicken just crowed, Shen Qingqing got up, the glutinous rice dumplings made last night were not enough, and he had to hurry up today.

When Shen Qingqing had just lit the candle in the kitchen, he saw that Xiao Douding was also rising.

This kid has always liked to sleep lazy, and besides, he doesn't have to go to school today, why did he get up so early?

Shen Qingqing opened his mouth and asked, "Why did Hao Hao get up so early today?" ”

Xiao Douding tightened his trouser belt, looked at Shen Qingqing and said very seriously: "Hao Hao knows that his mother worked very hard yesterday, and he has to make glutinous rice dumplings so early today, Hao Hao doesn't want his mother to work so hard, so he comes to help his mother." ”

Shen Qingqing's eyes became hot all of a sudden, and he could only touch the child's head: "Okay, Haohao will help together." ”

Making glutinous rice dumplings is a delicate job, and Xiao Douding can't help much, so he can only let him go to the fire, but when there is a person to cook things, he doesn't feel bored, and the glutinous rice dumplings are ready as soon as the morning dawns.

It's not good to put so many glutinous rice dumplings in the back basket, Shen Qingqing can only put all the glutinous rice dumplings into a big bucket, Xiaodouding continues to sleep after breakfast, Shen Qingqing takes the glutinous rice dumplings and takes the ox cart to the Shilixiang Restaurant above the town.

Zhen Qian was waiting at the door of the restaurant early, and when he saw Shen Qingqing, he hurriedly asked the guy to carry the vat down: "Sister, I didn't expect you to be so punctual today." ”

Shen Qingqing smoothed her hair and smiled: "I thought that there would be more guests in your restaurant after a while, and I was afraid of delaying things when I sent them over, so I sent them over early." ”

Zhen Qian likes to do business with this kind of smart but honest person, nodding again and again, the glutinous rice dumplings are weighed, a total of one or two silver.

Zhen Qian also gave a few more copper plates: "Sister, you keep it, and we will cooperate like this in the future." ”

Shen Qingqing was also polite: "Cheng, I guarantee that the quality of this glutinous rice dumpling will not change." ”

After delivering the glutinous rice dumplings, Shen Qingqing thought that there was almost no rice in the house, and thought about going to the rice shop to buy some.

The rice shop he frequented didn't open today because the boss had something, so Shen Qingqing went down the street and entered a shop called Liu Ji Rice Shop.

The boss is a fat-headed and big-eared man, and the clothes on his body are quite luxurious, but I don't know why the business of this rice shop is a little cold.

"Are you going to buy rice?" The boss put down the pen in his hand and asked if he was very enthusiastic.

Shen Qingqing looked at the rice in the middle of the lobby, which was much better than others, but the price was not expensive, thinking that anyway, now that he had silver taels in his hand, why not buy more: "Boss, I want a bag of these rice, do you have it?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The attitude of the boss changed immediately. "As long as you want me to have it, I see that you are from the village, sister, you are not good to bring this rice, otherwise I will let someone send it to you?"

As the boss spoke, his eyes rolled and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Shen Qingqing didn't pay attention, but felt that he didn't have to trouble anymore, and nodded: "Cheng, I'll give you the address." ”

Unexpectedly, this rice purchase would be so smooth, Shen Qingqing left the silver lianghe address, went to the market to buy some vegetables and returned home.

Xiao Douding had already gotten up and was reading in the yard, and the guy who delivered the rice arrived after a while, Shen Qingqing hurriedly beckoned them to drink tea, but these guys left as if they were in a hurry.

Shen Qingqing didn't take it to heart, so she cleaned the yard, but after a while, the things that Xiao Douding was holding in her hand attracted her attention.

I saw that when Xiao Douding was playing in the yard, he didn't know where to grab the rice in his hand, and the rice was mixed with some sand and brown rice.

It's not good to play with food, and the truth still has to be explained clearly to children.

Shen Qingqing squatted down and pulled Xiao Douding's arm: "Haohao, this rice is all to eat, you can't play, and why do you put brown rice and sand in the rice?" ”

"I didn't." Xiao Douding shook his head with a look of grievance. "Haohao didn't play, but there was sand and brown rice in this rice."

"What?"

Shen Qingqing was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly went to see it.

The rice sent over was packed in a sack, the rice on it was smooth and full, and I couldn't see anything, Shen Qingqing's hand reached into the sack to fish, and I saw that the rice was mixed with a lot of sand and brown rice.

No wonder the boss spoke so abnormally, it turned out that he was doing business with a bad conscience.

Shen Qingqing didn't want to suffer this dumb loss, took the rice and sat on the ox cart and went to the rice shop.

The boss didn't expect to see Shen Qingqing coming, so he stood at the door and said, "Why are you here again?" ”

Shen Qingqing directly untied the sack: "Boss, you have a lot of sand and brown rice mixed in this rice, why can't I come over?" ”

"You talk nonsense!" The boss pointed directly at Shen Qingqing's nose. "You village woman don't know where you came from, but you actually said that my rice is mixed with sand, you are afraid that you are making money."

"I'm going to blackmail money?" Shen Qingqing had never seen such a thick-skinned person. "It's obvious that your rice is mixed with sand, don't you admit it?

The boss snorted coldly: "You have to think clearly when you speak, this is Master Liu's industry, and you have to pay a price for spewing blood." ”

The boss felt that Shen Qingqing was only a village woman and had no power, so he closed the door after speaking.

Shen Qingqing looked at the signboard of Liu Ji Mipu, but smiled, this was really a coincidence, thinking about it, he went to Master Liu's mansion.

Master Liu thought that Shen Qingqing was here to deliver glutinous rice dumplings, and came to greet him in person, and Shen Qingqing took this opportunity to make things clear in person.

After hearing this, Master Liu slapped the table and was furious: "This rice shop has always been taken care of by the boss, and I just collect cash every month, but I didn't expect this boss to do such a thing, causing me to lose my reputation." ”

"Master Liu, I also came here after knowing about this matter, and I am afraid that the boss will not only cheat me." Although Shen Qingqing was angry in his heart, he spoke politely.

Anyway, Master Liu stood up: "I'll follow you to the rice shop." This boss is really unpleasant. ”

This was exactly what Shen Qingqing wanted, so just like that, a group of people went to the rice shop again.

When the boss saw Master Liu coming, he smiled like a pug: "Master Liu, why did you come here in person today?" ”

Master Liu shook his sleeves and snorted coldly, but did not speak, and when the boss saw Shen Qingqing, his expression changed completely: "You...... How did you get here? ”

"Why can't I come here?" Shen Qingqing spoke. "If you sell me rice mixed with sand, you naturally want to get justice."

"Don't talk nonsense in front of Master Liu!" The boss was already weak-hearted, and he couldn't imagine that this woman could invite Master Liu over.

"Whether it's nonsense or not, I'll see if it's a look." Master Liu sat down directly and asked the housekeeper to go inside and take out the rest of the rice.

Take this out and take a look at the rest of the rice. Sure enough, it was mixed with sand.

Don't look at Master Liu's usual kindness, this encounter is extremely fierce: "I believe that you handed over this rice shop to you to take care of, but I didn't expect you to sit down and do these dirty things." ”

"I ...... I ...... "The boss was speechless all of a sudden."

Master Liu glared at him: "Immediately change this shopkeeper for me, and find a reliable person." ”

"Yes." The housekeeper's actions were very quick, and he let the little guy pull the boss out with him.

Master Liu looked at Shen Qingqing and smiled embarrassedly: "Sister, you see that you have caused trouble, I will return the silver taels of this rice to you immediately, and my sister will dissipate her anger." ”

Shen Qingqing thought that he would have to deal with Master Liu in the future, and it was not good to do things too desperately, so he could only give up.
