I feel that Qin Shuangshuang is a newly married girl with innocent thoughts. Once you have children and add to the burden, you will realize how ridiculous this statement is.
There are old ones and young ones in the family, all of them have their mouths open to eat and drink. How can I be in the mood to think about beautiful clothes?
Looking down at the only piece of clothing she was wearing that was not old, Liu Shuying sighed silently.
Her two sons are both studying in the town. She has no job and relies entirely on the man's salary. There are two elderly people in my hometown who need support, and they send ten yuan back home every month.
A man's salary adds up to only a few dozen yuan, and besides eating, drinking, having sex, and doing favors, there is basically nothing left.
Beautiful clothes? How long ago was that?
She had almost forgotten.
After the meal was over, everyone helped clear away the dishes. There were no leftovers, everything was dried up, and even the vegetable soup was almost eaten.
Everyone brought the dishes and chopsticks. Qin Shuangshuang originally planned to wash them and let them take them back, but everyone refused and said they would take them home to wash.
The tables, chairs and benches were wiped clean and carried away on their shoulders.
Qin Shuangshuang looked at this scene and couldn't help but laugh secretly. It was so funny.
Shen Chenming walked into the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, and cleaned the pots and pans. Qin Shuangshuang wanted to help, but he stopped him.
"Girl! You've worked hard today. Just let me come. You can go watch TV in the living room!"
Speaking of watching TV, Qin Shuangshuang hurried into the house. There were still a few children left behind by her. Why were the adults in the family not in a hurry to take them back?
The children all sat obediently on the sofa and watched the advertisements on TV seriously.
Looking at the time, it was already getting late. Qin Shuangshuang asked Lili, "Do you want aunt to take you back?"
Lili came out and looked outside, calling Jianjian and Wang Junjun: "Let's go home! Mom and dad will be here soon."
Wang Junjun said: "No, I still want to watch cartoons."
Jianjian pulled him: "It's over. There's no more. If you don't believe me, ask Auntie to turn the channel for you."
Qin Shuangshuang stretched out his hands and turned around. Except for the central station, which had programs, the other stations were all blank.
The children got up from the sofa with a sigh and prepared to go home. Qin Shuangshuang was worried and insisted on sending them back.
Just kidding, she wanted to stay to eat dumplings and watch TV at her house. If she bumped into him on the way back, her parents would definitely not be happy.
There is only one child in the family these days, and who can care for him like jewels?
"Don't worry, Auntie will take you home. You all know where you live at home, right?"
As soon as I finished speaking, a group of old ladies came.
"Ouch! How can you send them back after eating your food?"
"A few of us got together to chat, and by the time we were chatting, it was too late."
"Old Wife Shen! Thank you for the dumplings. Come and sit at my house when you have time."
"Really, thank you so much! I'm so greedy, I came here just after smelling it."
Seeing someone come to claim these children, Qin Shuangshuang felt relieved. As long as the children could go home safely, she would be relieved.
There was no TV to watch at night, so Qin Shuangshuang simply turned off the TV. The floor was messy. She took the broom and started cleaning it. After that, she went to the kitchen to help Shen Chenming clean up.
After everything was sorted, the two of them washed up and went back to the room to rest.
I was really tired today, so Qin Shuangshuang fell on the bed and fell asleep.
Shen Chenming didn't bother her, knowing that she was working hard and had to rush to town tomorrow morning, so he gently held her in his arms.
After a good night's sleep, Qin Shuangshuang opened his eyes the next day, looked at the time, and got up quickly.
It was already seven o'clock, and she still had to have breakfast and be on her way. She might not be able to make it in time and would be late.
When she left the room, she saw that Shen Chenming had bought breakfast from the cafeteria and placed it on the table waiting for her. Watch her get up and ask her to brush her teeth and wash her face.
"Come and eat when you're done. I'll take you there on my bike in a while. I promise you won't be late."
Qin Shuangshuang nodded, went to the bathroom to tidy up, came out and sat at the table, picked up chopsticks and ate.
Shen Chenming bought porridge to go with steamed buns. There was still some peanuts left from yesterday, so he packed some to go with white porridge.
"Don't be in a hurry. Eat slowly. I ride a bicycle very quickly. I can get you there in about twenty minutes."
"Um!"
Qin Shuangshuang agreed and finished the bowl of warm porridge in a few minutes.
He took the steamed bun in his hand, broke it open, put a few peanuts in it, and went to the refrigerator to get some shredded pickled radish to put in. Shen Chenming was stunned when he saw it.
Unexpectedly, the little girl is quite knowledgeable. She actually knows how to eat steamed buns with vegetables. Where did she learn this? Could it have been taught by some grandparent?
Qin Shuangshuang: "..."
That's right, as long as you ask, this is guaranteed to be the established answer. You'd better not ask, I'm too lazy to tell.
After dinner, Qin Shuangshuang didn't take anything, so she asked Shen Chenming to roll out his bicycle and take her to town.
When I came out of the family home, I met a lot of people. This was all due to the meal yesterday.
Several old ladies greeted her, and Qin Shuangshuang smiled and nodded.
Liu Shuying was washing clothes for her family. Standing under the public sink in the corridor, she saw Qin Shuangshuang and shouted enthusiastically.
"Xiao Qin! Where are you going?"
Qin Shuangshuang smiled and replied: "Go to town to do something."
"Oh!" Liu Shuying agreed, "I'll go there soon too."
"Then you come later and I'll leave first. I can't make it in time."
"Okay! You go first."
Qin Shuangshuang waved to Liu Shuying, urging Shen Chenming to leave quickly. She didn't say what she was going to do in town. She didn't want to say anything until the matter was finalized.
If it didn't work, wouldn't it be a joke?
But the clothes Liu Shufang wore today were very special. They were very worn and patched. Was their family's life so difficult?
When he asked the questions in his mind, Shen Chenming didn't know much about it, so he gave a general idea.
"I heard that she is uneducated, can't even write her own name, and can't find a job at all. In addition, there are old people and children at home to support, so she only relies on her husband to make money, so her life is naturally tight."
Qin Shuangshuang frowned slightly: "Then why don't you find something you can do to make a living? It doesn't matter if you can't read, as long as you know how to collect money."
Looking back at the little girl, Shen Chenming joked: "You think everyone is you, your brain is smart and fast, and you can come up with a solution even if there is no solution."
After gently hitting Shen Chenming on the back, Qin Shuangshuang scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? You're not afraid of people hearing the joke."
Touching the place where the little girl had hit him, Shen Chenming felt a numbness coming from his fingers. Shen Chenming casually touched Qin Shuangshuang's head.
She didn't dare to rub it like before, but just touched it very lightly. The girl had to meet someone today, so she couldn't lose her face.
"What a joke, I knew that the meal you made last night definitely shocked the entire family home. In the morning I went to the cafeteria to prepare food, and the master chef came to ask me, wanting to know the secret of making braised pork.
Asking if you are willing to teach it, he heard several people say in the morning that the braised pork made in the cafeteria is not as good as yours. Girl! Did he really come to ask you to teach him? "
