Chapter 82: Chinese New Year's Eve
On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Qin Xi struggled for a long time, but still took his brother back to the Qin family.
She didn't go empty-handed, she carried half a catty of brown sugar, at this time the brown sugar was used as a gift, it was very fashionable and valuable, representing the look at the master's house, of course, this kind of is limited to the little people, like what White Rabbit fashionable pastry bread or something, too expensive, it's not that you can't afford it, but there is no need for that.
Liu Qin was the first person in the Qin family to find out that the two of them came back, she had some discomfort in her stomach, and she wanted to go to the toilet, as soon as she opened the door, she saw the brother and sister walking towards her house, I have to say, the mood was not beautiful in an instant.
She didn't care, she walked directly towards the brother and sister, and a second before she staggered, Qin Jiang opened her mouth and called her Mom, but she walked directly past the two as if she hadn't heard it.
"Sister." Qin Jiang turned his head and looked at Qin Xi with some grievances.
Qin Xi couldn't stand his aggrieved eyes the most, as if there was a simple big dog sitting pitifully in front of her, her own dog was bullied by other stinky dogs, it was definitely distressing!
"Let's ignore her, anyway, we don't know her well, and we can't see strangers a few times a year."
"You greeted her, you were polite, she ignored you, she was careful, it was her fault, it has nothing to do with you." As soon as she finished saying this, she suddenly thought that she hadn't taken care of Liu Qin just now, and she was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, but she quickly ignored it.
The two pushed the door in, Li Chunhua was the first to see the brother and sister, and took the two in very enthusiastically, and the gifts they brought were also in their pockets.
"You two children are here when you come, what kind of gifts do you bring! It's too out-of-the-box. ”
"Come and sit here, bake the fire, and get rid of the cold."
Of course, when she said these words, it would be more sincere if she could take out the brown sugar in her pocket and return it to them.
As soon as the greetings were finished, Li Chunhua saw the new cotton clothes on the brothers and sisters, she couldn't believe it, thinking that she had seen it wrong, rubbed her eyes and looked again, sure enough, it was still a new cotton clothes.
Reaching out and touching it, the soft touch, she could even feel the warmth of the place where her palm touched the cotton clothes, which was a good clothes made of new and good cotton and fabric.
It turned out that what the mother-in-law next door said was true, not nonsense deliberately deceiving her, these two people were really rich, and their whole bodies were suddenly new, even when they came here today, they also brought brown sugar, judging by her many years of hand feeling, the brown sugar is half a catty.
Qin Xi knew from looking at her grandmother that she had noticed the new clothes of their brother and sister, but so what, if she didn't steal or rob the things she bought, there was nothing to see.
As for what speculation the Qin family will have because of this, it will be up to the benevolent and the wise.
Before, she and her brother's cotton clothes were completely the same, there was no cotton in them, just some grass wool and other things filled in it, and it didn't keep warm at all, she didn't think about coming back in old clothes, so as not to provoke the eyes of the Qin family, but think about it, forget it!
Since the beginning of winter, the two of them have changed their clothes into this cotton clothes, plus Qin Jiang often accompanies Grandma Yu to sweep the streets, the neighbors must have seen them, and it will be a matter of time before it reaches the ears of the Qin family.
Even if she doesn't wear it today, Li Chunhua doesn't ask today, and she will take the initiative to explore and ask in the future.
She felt that there was no need to make a big move in this matter, tell a lie, just be generous, after all, if she lied, she would be able to debunk it if she went to the alley for a few days, and this kind of lie was really not worth her effort.
"Qin Xi, where did you get these clothes?"
"Such good material, such good cotton, you have to pay at least four or five yuan to buy it, where do you get the money?" Li Chunhua touched Qin Xi's cotton clothes and asked curiously.
At this time, her eyes were very bright, and the light emitted from them was called greed.
"Oh, that's what you say! Earn it yourself. Qin Xi said casually.
In fact, what her grandmother said was conservative, she asked for six yuan for this set, and her brother asked for seven yuan and five yuan for the set.
"Nonsense, you are still so young and have no job, how can you earn so much money?" Li Chunhua retorted without thinking about it.
If it was so easy to make money in this city, why did she save more than a hundred yuan by now.
The more than 100 yuan were all saved by her for more than ten years, and she was reluctant to eat or wear, is she easy!
"It's true, my brother and I pick up mushrooms and sell them to the purchasing station, when we are lucky, we can earn more than one yuan a day, and when we are unlucky, we can also earn three or four cents."
"What's more, it's not just mushrooms, things like herbs, the purchase station collects them, and this year's winter is too cold, so the two of us spent all the money we saved and bought this set of clothes."
"Don't look at the new ones I'm wearing, but my cotton clothes are second-hand, and the rich man doesn't want it anymore, so he gave it to his relatives, and I just happened to meet it, so I asked the man to buy it, which is much more cost-effective than buying a new one."
The last two paragraphs are nonsense, but the previous paragraphs are true, not fake at all, but believe it or not, it's up to them.
"Really?" Li Chunhua didn't believe it, if he could make so much money just by picking up a mushroom in the forest, then the clansmen of Qingou Village would have made a fortune a long time ago, and they had used those bitter days to dig in the ground.
"Really." Qin Xi didn't blink his eyes, and said with great certainty.
She rarely lies to people, which will make her feel uneasy, but it is not right for people, in the face of people who have evil thoughts about her, lying is just a small means of her, the more this time, the calmer the expression on her face.
Li Chunhua couldn't see that there was a trace of lying on her face, no matter how ridiculous her reason was, she had to accept it, because she couldn't come up with actual evidence to refute it!
The conversation between the grandfather and grandson had just ended, and Liu Qin, who had finished going to the toilet, came back.
Qin Shan hurriedly gave up his position to her, and her position had already been occupied by the brothers and sisters of Qin Xi and Qin Jiang before.
There are nine people sitting around a stove, and I have to say that it is indeed crowded, but if you want to reduce your expenses at home and order two stoves, you don't even think about it.
Since Qin Xi and Qin Jiang left, the work of pasting firewood boxes at home has stopped, and without the two main forces of them, the others are simply local chickens and dogs, and they are not at all climatic.
In addition, the leader Liu Qin was busy looking for a doctor to see her hand during that time, and completely ignored this matter, resulting in the delivery at the end of the month, the Qin family missed the appointment, although they made up for it in the second month, but still lost the qualification to continue to make orders for the match factory.
