Wei Nian never procrastinates in doing things.
After this matter was settled, Wei Nian told his family to pack clothes and utensils for the trip to Shanghai. As for the rest of the shop, Wei Nian managed the old shop in Dongdan with Zhao in charge, so there was no need to worry. Chen Xuan and Wei Yin's shop also had Xiao Li and Sun Yan looking after the shop, just the same, the strawberry matter. There were still strawberries in the house in the red fruit period, and they had to heat the kang every day, and boil water to take care of the strawberries, which was a serious matter.
According to Old Lady Wei, what is the point of a stupid person like Chen Xuan going to Shanghai? She should just stay at home and grow strawberries. Wei Yin is a young girl who has not yet married. It is more important to find a husband. Why is she going to Shanghai
When Wei Jin heard from her husband's family that Wei Nian, Chen Xuan and Wei Yin were going to Shanghai, they all took their husbands back to their parents' home. At first, they objected to Wei Yin going out, but Wei Jin spoke in the tone of Old Lady Wei, "You still have to talk to your husband's family, don't run around everywhere. Some families with strict rules will not be happy if they know that their daughter-in-law likes to go out."
Wei Yin was angry, "If it was a family like that, there would be no need to tell me!"
"You are so ungrateful." Wei Jin said, "I am doing this for your own good."
"Not at all." Wei Yin has never been unreasonable. After doing business for a long time, she has learned a lot of tricks. She held her elder sister's fat palm and said, "Sister, things are not like before. Many girls go out to work now. You know that Shanghai is a big place. I want to follow my second brother and his wife to gain some experience. If there is anything suitable for us, buy some and bring it back. I am also going to stock the store with more goods. Sister, is there anything you want to bring? I will bring it for you."
"I don't have anything to bring." Wei Jin said, "I have never seen what Shanghai is like."
"Then I'll buy it for my elder sister."
When Wei Jin heard that Wei Yin wanted to bring her a gift, she immediately became interested. "Girls shouldn't go out originally. You're right. Times have changed. I still have the old idea and I'm always worried. But think about it, you're going out with your brother, so why should I worry? You don't need to bring anything from me, just buy something for our mom."
Old Mrs. Wei's face was long, "I don't want anything. I heard that things there are very expensive. I don't need to buy anything. I don't need to spend that money!"
Wei Jin went over to coax the old lady, "Mom, if you don't want it, then I will. That's Shanghai, a place my dad hasn't been to. I heard it's a good place, better than Tianjin. It's just far away. I heard it takes two or three days to get there by train. Oh, there are so many people in that train car."
Brother-in-law Zhao smiled and said, "That's fine. Buy a first-class ticket. It's cleaner and less crowded."
"That's good. I saw your son-in-law said that he wouldn't suffer much on the road. Oh, mom, what are you worried about?" Wei Jin persuaded the old lady, and the old lady finally smiled. Wei Jin asked Chen Xuan, "It's okay for Anian and Yin to go out. They can leave after telling the things they have to do. But what about you? What will happen to the strawberries when you go?"
"We were discussing this matter. I thought about letting my third uncle take care of it. I will prepare the charcoal for each room according to the daily amount. Then I will tell my third uncle how to heat the kang, water the kang, and take care of it." Chen Xuan said honestly, "My third uncle is old, and we need his help with the strawberries in the yard. There are many things to take care of the strawberries in the house, and I am worried that he will not be able to remember them."
"There is one more thing. Miss Qin is a girl. Once we leave, it is not good to ask her, a girl, to live in the same house with my third uncle. I have discussed it with Brother Anian, and I am afraid that we will have to trouble my eldest sister." Chen Xuan felt that man proposes, God disposes. She never expected that there would be a day when she would have to trouble Wei Jin.
Wei Nian couldn't stand Chen Xuan's cautious way of talking to his elder sister, so he said directly, "My elder brother and his wife have to take care of the children, and my parents are old. I think you should stay in the house in Wangfucang Hutong for a few days. When we come back, the strawberries in the house will be handed over to you, and you can keep Miss Qin company."
"I, I don't know how to grow strawberries?"
"It's simple. Just burn some charcoal, pour some water, and let some air in." Wei Nian said, "Not everything is left to you, elder sister. If you don't know how to do it, Third Uncle will. I'm just worried that Third Uncle doesn't have a good memory. My wife will write down the key points on paper. If Third Uncle forgets something, you can help look it up. If you can't read, ask Miss Qin to help you recognize it."
Wei Jin thought, is her second brother stupid? This matter is a secret of her mother's family, how can she trouble Miss Qin? Even if there are words she doesn't recognize, she will take it back to her mother's family to ask her family! Although Wei Jin often takes money from her mother's family, she is also very concerned about the things entrusted by her brother. Wei Jin agreed immediately, "Okay!"
Wei Nian was helpless, "You should also listen to what your brother-in-law means."
Brother-in-law Zhao smiled and said, "That's fine. Third uncle is not young anymore, so your eldest sister and I will live there together, and the child will have my mother. As for the three meals a day in the courtyard, you don't have to worry about it, your eldest sister is here."
"Okay. Don't be too frugal, big sister. Miss Qin pays for the food every month. She won't do it if she doesn't eat well."
Wei Jin rolled his eyes and said to Wei Nian, "I'll let you look after the house for free, but you have to pay for my food for the next few days."
"Of course, of course." Wei Nian smiled, "No more, no less, no less."
Brother-in-law Zhao smiled and said to his wife, "Stop joking with my second brother."
Wei Jin snorted at her husband, "I'll just give you face and not bother with him."
Seeing that the children had arranged everything after discussing it, Old Master Wei didn't say much and just let it be settled.
The matter was settled, but Chen Xuan was a little confused. In the past, Wei Jin had lived in her parents' home as an adult, except when she went back to her husband's home during the New Year and other festivals. But now, for some reason, even if Wei Jin went back to her parents' home, Brother-in-law Zhao would come to pick her up after only three or five days. Moreover, even if Wei Jin stayed at her parents' home and refused to go back, Brother-in-law Zhao would come over for dinner from time to time. Chen Xuan had never seen such intimacy between the couple in her life.
Chen Xuan was confused but too embarrassed to ask.
On the way home, Wei Nian sighed, "Now that I'm older, the relationship between my elder sister and her husband is getting better and better."
"Yeah, I thought it was not like this before." Chen Xuan asked the question in her mind without thinking.
Wei Nian wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and laughed. Chen Xuan nudged him lightly, "What are you laughing at?"
Wei Nian smiled and looked at Chen Xuan with his eyes bent, "Come to think of it, my elder sister should give you and Ah Yin some generous gifts."
Chen Xuan looked at Wei Nian in confusion. Wei Nian thought that this stupid girl really didn't understand, so he whispered to Chen Xuan, "Have you noticed that ever since my eldest sister learned how to dress up, my brother-in-law has been like a bee seeing honey when he sees her?"
Chen Xuan felt a little embarrassed, but Wei Nian said, "It's the same when I see you."
Chen Xuan almost slapped Wei Nian off the rickshaw, but Wei Nian held her hand and said, "Stay in the rickshaw, don't move."
"Don't talk nonsense." Chen Xuan taught Wei Nian a lesson with a serious face, "We are all serious people."
Wei Nian held Chen Xuan's hand and nodded, "Yes, a serious person is a serious person."
After the two of them returned home, Chen Xuan asked Wei Nian to go home first, and whispered to Wei Nian, "After all, we are going to Shanghai this time. I will ask Ah Shu if he has anything to bring back."
"Go ahead." Wei Nian went back to the house first.
Qin Shu was quite surprised when he knew that Chen Xuan was going to Shanghai. After knowing that Chen Xuan and her store wanted to cooperate with Rong Yang, Qin Shu repeatedly told Chen Xuan, "Go to Shanghai and have fun. Oh, Shanghai is much more interesting than Beijing."
"Let's not talk about playing for now. I just want to ask if there is anything you want to take with you so that I can bring it to your home." Chen Xuan said.
Qin Shu hesitated a little and said to Chen Xuan, "Hey, sister-in-law, I am living such a bad life now, how can I have the face to send a letter home? I am thinking of returning home in glory after I make a fortune or become a big shot in the future."
Chen Xuan was speechless after hearing what the child said, and said to Qin Shu, "It usually takes many years to make a fortune or become a big shot. If your family hasn't heard from you for many years, they would be very worried. You can write a letter and buy some Beijing snacks or something, and I will bring it to you. Even if you don't go home, it's okay to let your family know that you are doing well."
"I'm not worried about my mom, and my brother is fine too. I'm just worried about my dad. He gets angry whenever he's not well."
"They're just throwing tantrums. Knowing that you've settled down outside, have a formal job, and earn a high monthly salary, the elders will feel relieved." Chen Xuan's biological parents passed away early, so she was particularly envious of people who had biological parents.
With Chen Xuan's persuasion, Qin Shu said, "Then I will write a letter home, and you can take it to my place for me, sister-in-law."
Chen Xuan agreed and told Qin Shu that Wei Jin and his wife would come and live with them after they left, so Qin Shu could rest assured that Wei Jin would take care of their three meals a day.
Qin Shu, this girl, only wrote a letter to her family reluctantly in front of Chen Xuan and only after Chen Xuan's persuasion. As a result, she handed the letter to Chen Xuan early the next morning, very neatly, and asked Chen Xuan if she could bring some green sauce pork back for her, because her father loved the green sauce pork from Baohuazhai.
Chen Xuan agreed immediately, and Qin Shu had prepared everything when he got out of school that evening. The green sauce meat he bought was neatly wrapped in thick paper, and to make it look nice, it was wrapped in small floral fabric and tied with a bow.
When Chen Xuan talked about Qin Shu privately, she always said, "He's still a child."
Wei Nian said, "The child is not a child, but a little bit stupid." Seeing Chen Xuan packing her things, Wei Nian took back two large suitcases that night. Chen Xuan clapped her hands and smiled, "This is good, this is good, the suitcases look more fashionable than the suitcases." After doing business for about a year, although Chen Xuan was still frugal, she also knew that she had to be decent when going out. This suitcase didn't look cheap. However, since they were all going to Shanghai, Chen Xuan would not be reluctant to give it up.
Chen Xuan also said, "We use one, and give the other to Yin."
"Okay, I'll go pick her up right away." Because they were leaving tomorrow, and had to leave early in the morning, it was agreed that Wei Yin would arrive at the house in Wangfucang Hutong a day in advance and stay overnight with Miss Qin.
When Wei Nian went to pick someone up, Chen Xuan put all the clothes in her bag into the suitcase, leaving two small bags, one for her underwear and the other for Wei Nian's underwear. Chen Xuan put the two small bags away and thought, although she and Brother An Nian were not truly married, they had slept on the same kang for so long, and she also made inner and outer clothes for Brother An Nian, which was not pure anymore.
After Chen Xuan pondered over her "purity" issue, the day to go to Shanghai arrived. Chen Xuan was so excited that she did not sleep well all night. Because, Mr. Rong had asked his assistant to inform them in advance that they would fly to Shanghai. Chen Xuan had never taken a train in her life, let alone a plane. After reading at night, she lay on the kang and suffered from insomnia. After a while, she said, "Brother Anian, what does the plane look like? I've seen it in the newspaper. It has two big wings. How does it fly into the sky? Is it like flying a kite?"
This made Wei Nian laugh for most of the night. After finally falling asleep, Chen Xuan was worried about missing the time because Mr. Rong said they had to leave at 5:30 in the morning. Chen Xuan woke up three times in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep at 3 o'clock. She didn't disturb Wei Nian, but moved a small stool and went to the outer room to read. At 4 o'clock, she woke up Wei Nian and Wei Yin, who had moved in last night to live with Qin Shu. Chen Xuan went to the stove to cook porridge and spread the dough. When they were done, it was 4:30.
We had breakfast together and waited for half an hour before Mr. Rong's car arrived.
Mr. Rong took one car, and the three members of the Wei family took another. Chen Xuan asked with concern, "Mr. Rong, have you had breakfast?"
Rong Yang smiled, "It won't be too late to eat in Shanghai."
Chen Xuan glanced at the entrance of the alley and saw a breakfast stall. She ran to buy a bag of sesame and caramel biscuits for Rong Yang and said, "Mr. Rong, you are very busy every day. If you are hungry, just fill your stomach. Our sesame and caramel biscuits are very delicious and famous. Professor Ouyang even wrote about them in the newspaper."
Rong Yang stretched out a slender jade-like hand to take the breakfast bag handed by Chen Xuan, "Okay." Then, he turned his eyes to Qin Shu who came out to send Wei Yin off, and Rong Yang asked her, "Why don't you go home?"
Qin Shu twisted his fingers and said, "I'm doing fine in Beijing."
Rong Yang nodded, speaking incisively and understandingly, "I have no face to see the elders of Jiangdong."
Qin Shu almost made Rong Yang choke to death. When he wanted to retort, Rong Yang had already said to the three Wei family members, "Get in the car, let's go." After that, the car window was raised, and he didn't pay any attention to Qin Shu. Instead, when the car turned around, he sprayed Qin Shu with exhaust fumes, which made Qin Shu so angry that he jumped up and took off one of his leather shoes and flew towards the rear window of Rong Yang's car.
Chen Xuan was stunned when she saw Qin Shu throwing shoes at Rong Yang's car through the rear window. She didn't know Miss Qin was so tough. Wei Nian sighed, "These days, telling the truth is risky." It was obvious that Qin Shu was touched in the heart and was angry out of shame.
Wei Nian sat in the passenger seat, Chen Xuan and Wei Yin sat in the back seat. Chen Xuan tapped Wei Nian on the head, and Wei Nian immediately shut his harsh mouth.
