Chapter 32: Chinese New Year's Eve
"Zhizhi, if we cooperate with Piaoxianglou, we are afraid that we will have to buy a few more acres of land." Xue Shen thought about it carefully.
Before, the family did not have manpower, they only bought two acres of land, after all, Piaoxianglou is the best restaurant in the town, the daily customers are rolling, and the consumption of vegetables is not ordinarily large.
Now that they have signed the contract, they don't have enough land at all.
However, at this point, Qin Zhi already had a plan in his heart.
"Brother Shen, what do you think of Brother Zhang?" She raised her eyes and asked Xue Shen with a smile.
Brother Zhang is naturally the son of Aunt Zhang's family next door, and he used to do some small business with the village, barely able to support a few people in the family.
This Li family is pregnant, it must be well raised, and then the birth of the child is another expense, and his savings are not enough.
Recently, he has been following Xue Shen to help make some cool skins and the like, which can be regarded as a small profit, and the two families are already close, and the relationship is much better.
As soon as Qin Zhi asked, Xue Shen immediately guessed Qin Zhi's plan.
"Zhizhi wants to?" His eyes lit up.
"It's not a tiring job to collect vegetables every day and help you pick up water, so we'll share it with him when the time comes." Qin Zhi said.
"You're right." Xue Shen nodded, although his words were a little bland, but at this time, his heart was completely unable to calm down.
He was born in the Xue family, and it is extremely unfortunate to have parents like Xue Wang.
What kind of person has never seen such a big one?
There are many selfish people like Xue Wang's family in this world, and if they have a money-making business, they are all hidden and tucked away so as not to be known, where can they take the initiative to share with others?
Xue Shen was used to seeing this kind of thing, and knew in his heart that selfishness was not wrong, but in the end, it also made people feel uncomfortable.
At this time, someone like Qin Zhi is rare.
Aunt Zhang only helped her after she gave birth to Xiaobao, so she did not hesitate to teach them how to make cold skin, so that they could help farm and harvest vegetables and make a living.
Cast it with peach and plum, and repay it with Qiong Yao.
It was Qin Zhi who was talking about.
People who are good to her, she doesn't mind helping them, which is easy to say, but how many people really do it?
Xue Shen was happy in his heart, and even with a smile between his eyebrows and eyes, his cold appearance shone more and more, as if heaven and man had descended to earth.
It's really nice to be able to marry Zhizhi.
He said in his heart, in the past half a year, he and Qin Zhi have supported each other, and they have seen more and more clearly what kind of person Qin Zhi is. There seemed to be a thousand words in my heart, but in the end, it was just interwoven into one sentence that was too good, Qin Zhi was too good.
For this kind of money sent to the door, although Zhang Dasheng said that he was moved, he felt a little embarrassed.
It was Xue Shen who persuaded him left and right to make him accept this kindness.
So things were settled like this, Qin Zhi bought a few acres of land, built a greenhouse as before, planted different vegetables, and Xue Shen and Zhang Dasheng were responsible for picking up water every day, or Qin Zhi took advantage of everyone's inattention to inject the strange water into the bucket.
The days are passing day by day, and in a blink of an eye, the New Year is coming.
"It's a good weather today, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhizhi, let's go to the street and have a look?" The Li family, who had finally survived the first three months, looked at the sky outside while chatting with Qin Zhi.
Zhang Dasheng went to Piaoxianglou to deliver vegetables, as for Xue Shen, after the vegetables were settled, the small shop gradually stopped opening, on the one hand, Qin Zhi was too busy alone, and on the other hand, the two of them discussed, and there was no time in the future.
It's better to close it directly and have a good New Year, now they don't have to worry about money, Qin Zhi feels that the things he does by himself are almost the same, he will definitely not be able to bear it in the future, but it is better to sell recipes.
I didn't act in the past because Piaoxianglou was powerful, and I must have trusted their craftsmanship very much, and I was afraid that it would make people not believe it if I went rashly.
Now I have a friendship with Piaoxianglou, and my craftsmanship has become popular, and when the time comes, I will take out the recipes that have been handed down from China for 5,000 years, and it will be all white silver!
She gradually had her own plans in her heart, so she was not in a hurry, so she asked Xue Shen to withdraw the shop first. So now there are only Qin Zhi Xiaobao, Aunt Zhang and Li in the family.
Xiaobao is half a year old in the blink of an eye, he doesn't look like he's grown much, he hasn't been sick much because of his water ability, he's healthy, and he's very likable.
Li Shizhi was envious and looked forward to the birth of the child in his belly.
"Okay." Stopping Li's proposal, Qin Zhi thought about it and agreed.
It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and the family has bought everything that should be added, but the town has been lively in the past two days, and she doesn't mind going out for a walk.
I didn't expect that she would have crossed over, and her temperament had changed a lot, if it had been before, she would definitely not want to go out to join in the fun.
The two made up their minds, quickly packed up, and went out into the street hand in hand.
Aunt Zhang was old and did not have the vitality of their young people, so she waved her hand and said to help Qin Zhi watch Xiaobao and let them go out to play.
The Spring Festival is a grand festival in every country, and Heyuan Town is no exception, the street is more colorful than the Mid-Autumn Festival, and many shops and houses are hung with red lanterns in front of them, looking jubilant.
There are also people shouting to sell some New Year's goods, or some children's favorite food, and the streets are full of people coming and going, a lively and peaceful.
I forgot the time for this visit, and by the time the two of them went back, it was already early.
Li was pregnant, and he was a little tired after a day of shopping, so he said goodbye to Qin Zhi and went home.
When Qin Zhi entered the courtyard, the room was quiet, the candle flame was burning quietly, and a figure sitting at the table was reflected on the window, looking like he was doing needlework.
Qin Zhi was playful, and lightly approached the window, wanting to see what Xue Shen was doing.
The window paper is relatively thin, and it is easy to see the people inside when people get closer, Qin Zhi has excellent eyesight, and he saw Xue Shen sitting at the table, with the light of the candle flame, concentrating on threading the needle.
There seemed to be the fur of something in his hands, and she couldn't see the color really because of the yellowing of the window paper.
What's he doing?
A trace of doubt rose in Qin Zhi's heart, Xue Shen was good at going up the mountain to hunt or something, but this needlework was not very good, in the past, the Xue Wang clan treated him badly, and the clothes he wore were all leftovers worn by others, and they were all patches.
He has no choice, he is all thinking about it by himself, and he can also wear it by sewing and mending, but his craftsmanship is even more miserable than Qin Zhi.
After giving birth to Xiaobao, Qin Zhi was responsible for his clothes, whether there were any clothes that needed to be sewn and mended Qin Zhi knew better than him, what was this doing at this time?
She pondered for a long time, and she couldn't figure it out, but she vaguely looked at the progress, and she couldn't do it for a while, but she had never seen Xue Shen touch the needle and thread when she was at home.
Qin Zhi couldn't help frowning, feeling that he seemed to be hiding something from him, but he wasn't angry, just a little strange.
"Ahem." She moved away from the window and made a noise.
"Zhizhi is back?" Sure enough, there was a greeting from Xue Shen inside, as if he was getting up to pack something, and he came out after a while.
"How's it going?" Xue Shen took the things in her hand and led her into the door.
Qin Zhi dealt with it casually, but he glanced at the room suspiciously, there was nothing on the table, Xue Shen should have hidden it.
She felt a little uneasy in her heart, what was he even hiding from himself?
Qin Zhi didn't know, he thought about it, and he didn't come up with an answer.
But she never expected that before she could take the initiative to ask, this answer would jump out on its own.
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve.
Early in the morning, Xue Shen was busy hanging lanterns, pasting pairs, and decorating the yard with joy.
Qin Zhi couldn't help, so he went to cook, wrapped the dumplings in advance last night, just cook them this morning, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening is the point, so he fried a few side dishes casually in the morning.
When he finished doing these things, Xue Shen was also busy and came over for breakfast.
"I'll feed Xiaobao first." Qin Zhi looked at the time, Xiaobao should also wake up, at this time they are all going to breastfeed.
"I'll wait for you." Xue Shen nodded, a smile curled up on his lips, and he could see that he was in a good mood.
Since Qin Zhi came to his senses, he has never acted excessively, and he is not like a married couple, he can be described as a true gentleman.
When she came out with Xiaobao in her arms, Xue Shen was thinking about something, and Qin Zhi's angle saw that there seemed to be something hidden behind him.
"Brother Shen, what's wrong?" She frowned quietly, feeling that the atmosphere was a little strange.
"Zhizhi, Happy New Year." Xue Shen suddenly raised his eyes, his face was full of seriousness, and his eyes kept flickering, as if he wanted to say something.
"Happy New Year." Qin Zhi replied, still looking at him with some suspicion.
He looked unusually happy when he woke up this morning, and although he didn't show it on his face, the high corners of his lips betrayed him.
It's a little weird now, and there's no way for her not to think about it.
"I'll give you this."
Seeing that Qin Zhi had been staring at him, Xue Shen was faintly nervous in his heart, but he still took out the things behind him and handed them to Qin Zhi.
It was a cloak, a very beautiful one, all pure white, and it looked free of impurities, and it looked like the hunters were very good, and it did not hurt the fur at all.
When you touch it, you feel very soft, it won't prick people at all, and it's heavy and weighty when you fall into your hand.
It looks delicate and abnormal, but some unfamiliar stitches can still be seen in the subtleties, which look a little crooked, but they are very careful, and these furs are sewn together little by little, and there are no flaws at all if you don't look closely.
"This ...... That's what you're doing every night? Qin Zhi touched the cloak in his hand, his eyes were full of surprise, but they were shining.
Xue Shen touched his head embarrassedly, "Zhizhi knows?" ”
He always goes up the mountain near the Chinese New Year, just to make a cloak for a few foxes with good fur, it is very cold in winter here, and no matter how much Qin Zhi wears, he can't resist the cold wind.
Because he wanted to surprise Qin Zhi, he secretly did it every day while she was away or sleeping, but unfortunately he was still rusty, and he was a little afraid that she wouldn't like it.
"I'm not good at craft, don't dislike it." He raised the corners of his lips lightly, but he couldn't hide the tension in his eyes.
Qin Zhi breathed for a moment, and looked directly into the pair of eyes that looked like jewels, with joy in them, as well as undisguised anticipation, and a slight uneasiness.
Because I'm afraid I won't like it.
