Zhang Dewen was silent and glanced at Wang Yunli: "My dad wrote a letter saying that Zhang Dewu became a pickpocket in their area. He was arrested and imprisoned for three months before he was released."
"What? A pickpocket? Oh my God, isn't that a prisoner of labor reform?" Wang Yunli shuddered, "Forget it then, let's not provoke such scoundrels, I'm afraid."
"Pfft!" Zhang Dewen laughed, "You just said it so impassionedly, I thought you were very brave."
"I'm not brave, I'm timid." Wang Yunli gave up quickly without feeling embarrassed at all, "We will really go to Kyoto in the future and stay away from that family."
"Okay." Zhang Dewen raised his wrist and looked at the time. He took Wang Yunli's hand and said, "I'll take you home!"
Wang Yunli did not refuse. The two held hands and walked slowly home on the road.
Shen Chenming drove the family back to the military family home in his car. After the two elderly people washed up, Shen Chenming sent them to the guest house.
It was getting dark, they were drinking again, and they were worried about going alone, for fear of something happening on the way.
When Qin Shuangshuang goes on vacation, they will move. There are too many things and the children are small, so someone has to look after them.
With my mother by my side, I feel more at ease and won't cry pitifully and cause trouble.
After seeing the old man off, Shen Chenming washed himself while the three children were playing with Li Yuan and Qin Shuangshuang.
After coaxing them to sleep, the couple climbed into bed and lay down.
"Girl! Isn't it true that you don't have enough money to invest in the restaurant? Do you want me to find someone to borrow it?"
"I don't know. I have money, but I can't tell if it will be enough."
Qin Shuangshuang lay down, and Shen Chenming stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms.
"Grandpa said he would lend it to you, do you want to borrow it?"
"I don't want to borrow it if I can. Grandpa is old. That's his pension money. I don't want to touch it."
"How about I call my parents and borrow some? It's not impossible to ask Sister-in-law He for a loan, but I think it's too troublesome."
"Is it troublesome? I don't think so." Qin Shuangshuang changed her posture, lying on her stomach and raising her head, "Sister-in-law He is very nice. She asked me if I wanted a loan last time."
Shen Chenming was lying on his side, with his elbows on the pillow and his head supported by his palms: "Even if you don't find it troublesome, grandpa said he would lend you money. If you don't accept it, you will break his heart."
"Then it won't hurt his heart to borrow it from my parents?" Qin Shuangshuang asked disapprovingly.
"This is different. My parents said they would lend it to us, and grandpa won't argue with them." He raised his other hand and touched the girl's head, "Because you are my parents' daughter-in-law and we are a family. Grandpa has to be strong all his life. , I don’t like my children and grandchildren to lend money to others.”
Qin Shuangshuang tilted her head to one side as much as possible to avoid Shen Chenming's troublesome hand: "You are right, the elderly are really afraid of debt, so I won't apply for a loan, and I will use my family's money as much as possible. If I don't have enough money, I won't talk to Pei anymore. Auntie, please borrow some, don’t let grandpa know.”
"That's okay." Shen Chenming put down his hands and lay down, "If it's not enough, just tell me and I'll find a way."
"Um!"
Qin Shuangshuang also lay down, and was grabbed by Shen Chenming's hand and lay on top of him. The two looked at each other face to face, and then laughed.
"Girl! Zhang Dewen told me today that from now on we two can become free-loading pretty boys."
Zhang Dewen: "..."
I didn't say it, you did.
"Pretty boy?" Qin Shuangshuang reached out and grabbed Shen Chenming's face, squeezed and pulled, "I don't know if Zhang Dewen can become a pretty boy, but you do have the potential to be a pretty boy. You are so handsome."
"Like it?"
"like."
"Sold to you."
"Okay." After Qin Shuangshuang finished speaking, she covered her mouth and smiled, not daring to laugh out loud for fear of disturbing the sleeping children and the mother in the outhouse, "What's the price for selling it to me?"
“No money required, three meals a day are included, and accommodation is free.”
"Hahaha! You are so cheap! Are you so worthless?"
"I'll be scorning you for the rest of my life." After saying that, he held his face and kissed her, "Keep your voice down, don't wake them all up."
"Um"
When she was confused and infatuated, Qin Shuangshuang agreed, feeling that the man was doing it on purpose to arouse her anger and make her want to stop.
It was winter vacation in a blink of an eye, and Shen Chenming organized the move the next day.
The new home has been completely renovated, the doors and windows have been replaced, and a new coat of paint has been applied. I also bought some paint for the floor and it looked shiny.
The walls were painted white, and the originally dilapidated house looked like a new house after being repaired like this.
The rooms for the two old people have been arranged and they live in the back room. I got two single beds and placed them against the wall in the room, with a simple wardrobe and a desk in the middle.
There are no sofas or anything else, and the room is too small to fit in. We can only sit on the bed when chatting.
The outer room is where Li Yuan sleeps.
The kitchen is in the hallway and the bathroom is at the back of the house.
The back room where Qin Shuangshuang lives has a door to the back of the house. The sink for washing clothes and the bamboo poles for drying clothes are all at the back of the house. The sink was rebuilt.
There is no front yard here, just a hallway.
The sisters-in-law in the family home all knew that Qin Shuangshuang was moving. When the people living next door to their house saw that Shen Chenming was starting to move, they immediately put down their work and got up to call for help.
Qin Shuangshuang and Li Yuan were with their three children in the old house. Lu Xiaozhen led her sisters-in-law around and helped move things when they saw them. They didn't talk nonsense at all.
"Thank you everyone for coming to help, thank you so much!"
Qin Shuangshuang hugged Dabao and thanked everyone, but all the sisters-in-law looked unhappy.
"Sister! Look at what you said. If you don't work with a little effort, why are you thanking me?"
"I told you not to be polite to your sisters-in-law, why are you still so polite?"
"Sister! We are a team and we should help each other. Isn't that what you said? Why don't you just help us? When we help you, just say thank you and thank you. It's too unreasonable."
"It's just that my sister-in-law felt unhappy after hearing this. The Chinese New Year is about to come, and I don't have to worry about the money to buy new year's goods this year. How do you think my sister-in-law should thank you?"
"The shoes from the shoe factory are really simple, even simpler than those from the clothing factory. With the finger cots, your hands will not be broken. Once you are proficient in making them, it doesn't feel hard to make goods from both factories together."
"Sister! Have you bought anything for the New Year? The clothes you bought for your two grandfathers last time were pretty good. This year it will be my father-in-law's 70th birthday, and I want to give him a coat like that too."
Qin Shuangshuang gave this sister-in-law a trick: "You can ask Sister-in-law Feng about this and ask her to help you buy one from the wholesale market. It is guaranteed to be cheaper than the one in the department store and the quality is the same.
I didn't know what clothes to buy for my two grandpas that day, so I led them to pick them out by themselves. You have goals, and we won't go to department stores to spend more money. "
The sister-in-law who wanted to buy clothes smiled and said, "Yes! She still has a bright mind, why didn't I think of it. I will go to Sister-in-law Feng in the evening and ask her to bring something back for me. If she doesn't let her help go in vain, what should we do? Whatever it is."
The sisters-in-law moved happily once, and then again, and they were basically done.
