In the next few days, Xia Qianqian was busy working.
She had the technology but lacked the production capacity. She would always remember the embarrassment of being rejected by buyers when she went to the town to sell seeds because of the small quantity of goods. This time she would be more prepared.
However, the three of them had to dig mud, mix mud to make tiles, and go into the mountains to chop firewood, which was too much for them. Xia Qianqian made up her mind and hired two more people to help.
The news that Xia Qianqian had made a tile-making skill spread throughout the surrounding area. Liu Xing from Shihua Village bought candy to congratulate Xia Qianqian.
The young man was dressed neatly and tidy today. Although he was dark-skinned, he was still a handsome guy. He said shyly, "Miss Xia, congratulations, you are amazing!"
"Thank you." Xia Qianqian smiled sweetly. Because she was working, beads of sweat hung on her forehead, and her little face was rosy, which was particularly lovely.
Liu Xing's heart was pounding, and he took the hoe from her hand: "I'll help you."
"Okay." Xia Qianqian was more than happy to do so and sat down to rest. She was exhausted from working so hard for days and her shoulders were sore. She needed a sauna! She needed a massage!
She was a pampered wife of a boss who had never done hard labor for many years, but now she was living like this. If Gu Yanjing saw this, he would definitely laugh at her for not appreciating her blessings!
Thinking of Gu Yanjing, Xia Qianqian felt mixed emotions and a little pain in her heart.
After the divorce, the past years became memories. Time has its own filter, filtering out the disharmony and leaving behind the beauty. Even quarrels, bickering and sulking become so warm and lovely.
Actually, Gu Yanjing wasn't a bad person. He didn't take the initiative to hold the woman's hand. It was the heroine who took the initiative. She saw it clearly. But at that time, she was just lacking a reason to get a divorce, so she took advantage of the situation. Come to think of it, she was really acting.
"Qianqian, Liu Xing is a good person." Qin sat over and said meaningfully.
Unfortunately, Xia Qianqian was thinking about Gu Yanjing at the moment and didn't realize it. She replied casually, "Yes, it's good. Free labor, and they also gave us candy."
"Qianqian, give it a try!" Qin encouraged.
"Try what?" Xia Qianqian asked puzzledly.
"The Liu family of Shihua Village has some connections with your father, so it's a good place for him to go."
"Pfft, mom, you're talking about this!" Xia Qianqian laughed, subconsciously comparing Liu Xing and Gu Yanjing. Once compared... there's no comparison! Gu Yanjing's domineering aura is too strong.
"Qianqian, mother knows that you take care of this family, but mother hopes you can relax a little. It will be better to have a man to help you." Qin held Xia Qianqian's hand and was very satisfied with Liu Xing.
Mother, I won’t consider getting married before I’m twenty.”
"What? Twenty years old! Then she will become an old maid!" Qin was horrified.
"A capable woman is not afraid of age."
"People will laugh at you. Mom gave birth to you when she was sixteen..."
"Stop!" Xia Qianqian hurriedly called out, "Mom, let's discuss this matter after we can afford the dowry!"
Qin shook her head helplessly. Qianqian's abilities were no less than those of men, but it was a pity that she was a girl.
On the hill across the river, Qing Tong was bored and eating fruit, watching his young master stealing Miss Xia. The young master must have fallen in love with Miss Xia, otherwise he wouldn't come here every day to peek.
But he didn't understand. If the young master liked it, he could just buy it directly. Why did he have to be so secretive
"Qingtong, don't guess what the master is thinking." Gu Yanjing's cold voice sounded at the right time.
Qing Tong was startled: "Master, I didn't say anything..."
"You're complaining about me in your heart." Gu Yanjing put down the telescope and looked at Qing Tong with his deep, star-like eyes. "You want to know why I don't just go find her?"
Qingtong nodded, then quickly shook his head.
"Because now, the time is not right."
