After pounding the sugar, Hu Ying started making glutinous rice balls. Zheng Bajin wanted to help, but she refused, saying that she could do it, and asked him to help Qingqing.
Zheng Bajin listened and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll go check it out. Today is the Chinese New Year. Many children got lucky money and will definitely come to buy some snacks or firecrackers. "
"How can you be so polite? As long as you like to eat, mom will be happy." Hu Ying was stunned and couldn't understand why Zheng Bajin was so polite to her. When she came to her senses, Zheng Bajin had already walked away.
Sure enough, Qingqing in the canteen was worried. A few older children blocked a window. The other children were holding money and couldn't squeeze in. They were worried outside.
Zheng Bajin frowned: "What do you want to buy?"
"By the way, we want to buy artillery, but your wife won't sell it." A half-year-old child said with a somewhat angry look.
"When you grow up, you can marry a wife and sell it yourself!" Zheng Bajin said with a smile.
The man: "..."
"They don't have enough money!" Qingqing sighed and said, "But if they don't leave, they will dominate the land."
"Oh, this is easy to do. Tear the firecrackers into pieces and sell them." Zheng Bajin said, and really started to take apart the Yi C artillery and said, "You can have as many as you want. Each one costs a penny."
"Yes, I just said, you can tear it open and sell it, but your wife insisted that you can't." After hearing Zheng Bajin's words, several boys became happy and took out their money one after another.
Qingqing was a little stunned. There was such an operation. According to this calculation, a hundred-gun cannon, which originally sold for a few cents, could be sold for one yuan after being dismantled.
Several children took the artillery and left happily, went to get a stick of incense, and started to set off the artillery.
In this way, everyone is happy. Why didn't they think of raising the price?
Qingqing thought this way and glanced at Zheng Bajin. I really have you, but this way, I will be even busier.
Fortunately, Zheng Bajin was there to help count.
Zheng Bajin was also very serious and stopped joking around. He even called Xiaocao up and helped him count the cannons.
Zheng Bajin, on the other hand, had a leisurely time, smoking a cigarette and watching the two sisters Qingqing busy at work, occasionally helping to pick up heavier or higher-placed things.
Seeing his carefree look, Qingqing couldn't help but shook her head and said, "Smoking less is not good for your health."
Xiaocao also said: "Brother-in-law, our teacher said that normal people's lungs are red, while smokers' lungs are black. Just listen to my sister and stop smoking."
"Oh, I only have this little hobby left now. You two sisters can't be so cruel and want me to quit even this?" Zheng Bajin said with a wry smile and an aggrieved look. What he was thinking was, this No, are you contributing to the country?
Smoking is just a personal hobby, and caring for the environment is the right thing to do.
"Okay, I'm just asking you to take two less cigarettes, but I'm not asking you to quit completely. Why do you need to put on a bitter face?" Qing Qing gave him a blank look and raised the corners of her lips.
"Do I have it?" Zheng Bajin asked back, took a deep breath and put out the cigarette.
Smoking is indeed a bad hobby. However, Zheng Bajin was emotionally disturbed in his previous life. He was not accompanied by a woman in his life, so he unknowingly turned to cigarettes as a companion. After decades of wandering, now he wants to talk about rings. I really don’t have the courage.
You can quit sex, but you really don’t have the confidence to smoke.
Xiaocao looked at him and helped her sister: "Yes, I saw it!"
"Little guy, are you helping your sister to speak so quickly?" Zheng Bajin looked at Xiaocao's cute look and teased.
"I'm not young anymore, don't treat me like a three-year-old child anymore." Xiaocao became extremely unhappy. What she hated most was that people said she was young, especially her brother-in-law.
"Okay, okay, you are not a three-year-old child." Zheng Bajin said.
Xiaocao smiled happily and forgot the main topic just now, which was about smoking.
Next, Zheng Bajin said: "You are a four-year-old child."
Let Xiaocao pout her little mouth again, and said even more unhappily: "Zheng Bajin, I am already seven years old."
Qingqing and Zheng Bajin were stunned at the same time.
Then he laughed.
You are so stupid that you have forgotten how old you are?
By this time, Hu Ying had already made glutinous rice balls, and Nian Jian'an got up and washed his face, then came over to ask the three of them to eat glutinous rice balls.
Zheng Bajin nodded and asked Qingqing and Xiaocao to eat first while he looked at the canteen.
Qingqing said: "You go and eat, I'll just watch, or you can get me a bowl."
"Okay, you go ahead and eat the grass. Otherwise, I'll make a full bowl, and you'll have to finish it if you can't eat it. Don't regret it then?" Zheng Bajin said with ill intentions.
Qingqing stayed for a moment, then pulled Xiaocao and went, which made Zheng Bajing feel a little bored.
However, after a while, Qingqing arrived with a bowl of glutinous rice balls and said, "Okay, you go and eat. I'll just watch here."
"No, I want to have a bowl with you." Zheng Bajin suddenly acted rogue and said with a playful smile.
"No, it's unbecoming to be seen by others." Qingqing glanced out the window, but fortunately, there was no one.
However, at this moment, Zheng Bajin reached into her bowl, twisted one, and fed it into his mouth.
Qingqing was completely stunned. When did Zheng Bajin become so rude when eating.
Zheng Bajin, like a normal person, chirped and said with a look of enjoyment: "Well, not bad, really good. This is exactly the taste of my hometown."
Before Qingqing could react, he took the bowl in her hand and said, "Just give me this bowl, and you go get another bowl."
Qingqing: "..."
Seeing Zheng Bajin eating with gusto, she could only sigh in her heart, go to serve it again, and give Zheng Bajin the bowl she had eaten. Anyway, it was impossible for her to be with Zheng Bajin at this time. It's eight pounds for a bowl, and it's even more impossible to fight with him. He can't snatch it, and he looks shameless even if he scolds him. It's really not good to be seen by others.
"Okay, you can eat here and don't come out. Otherwise, if something is lost, I will only ask you." Qingqing said suddenly.
"..." Zheng Bajin suddenly didn't understand what Qingqing was going to do, and he didn't know how to answer.
Qingqing didn't wait for his reaction. She walked out of the door and went to the factory. She took out two large bowls from the pot and handed them to Nian Jianan. She said, "Dad, please give them to my father and elder brother."
Nian Jian'an nodded, approving Qingqing's approach.
Although Zheng Bajin doesn't like to see Zheng Laohai and Zheng Baliang, they are relatives after all, and they are also Qingqing's relatives.
Hu Ying glanced at Qingqing with some emotion, and suddenly felt a sore nose when she looked at Nian Jianan's back as he left the door.
In fact, she specially cooked a lot of glutinous rice balls, imagining that Zheng Bajin would propose and invite Zheng Baliang to eat together. After all, he was also his son.
However, Zheng Bajin seemed to have forgotten this matter and did not dare to mention it again.
Zheng Jiashan also smiled and said to Hu Ying: "Don't worry. One day I will persuade Lao Hai and Ba Liang to change their minds and behave well. Ba Jin will not treat them badly."
