Crossing the Book of Eighty Years: The Sweet Daughter-in-law of a Mountain Man

Xia Ning didn't change her tone and said generously, "Okay, I'll see you if you need me in the future."

Uncle Song smiled even more happily. He planned to ask Xia Ning if he wanted to marry Jian'an in two years.

It was already noon when Xia Ning left Uncle Song's shop. She went out to eat a bowl of noodle soup.

After eating the noodle soup, I took out my things and went to Pang Gang's house.

Last time, Pang Gang gave her something.

When she came back this time, she also brought some specialties, so-called reciprocating a favor.

When someone gives you a big one, you can't give it back in equal value, but you have to give back a small one, otherwise you will be really ignorant as a human being.

That day at Huang Shisheng's place, she saw that Pang Gang was very interested in the Guanyin statue. Later, she asked Lao Zhao to polish a Guanyin statue.

This time, I brought a statue and some small specialties.

When Lin Qin saw Xia Ning, her face was filled with joy.

When Xia Ning took out the things, Lin Qin threatened her: "You little girl, just come over here. Do you want to bring any gifts?"

Xia Ning said with a smile: "You asked Uncle Pang to bring us so many gifts last time. I just came back from Jingcheng this time and I brought some by the way."

How dare Lin Qin accept Xia Ning's things? She gave things to Xia Ning because Xia Ning had helped her son.

But Xia Ning gave her something instead, which she couldn't accept, and she also knew Xia Ning's situation.

It's quite remarkable that Xia Ning can take care of her two younger siblings.

"You take it back to your brothers and sisters. I will never accept you."

Xia Ning said: "Auntie, why are you so polite to me? If you are so polite, I won't dare to come over next time."

Lin Qin said seriously: "If you get gifts next time, I really won't let you come."

Xia Ning laughed: "Actually, don't think that I bought these with money. The souvenirs were given to me by my uncle and aunt over there. They brought a lot here. I'll bring some for Xiaochuan to taste. You can't So you can refuse me for Xiaochuan. And I have been working on this statue myself recently, and it doesn’t cost much, so don’t think I bought it.”

Lin Qin then asked with a shocked look on his face: "You do the carving yourself?"

Xia Ning nodded and said: "Yes, I plan to do business, and I also want to thank uncle. He is his teacher and has taken a fancy to my carvings."

Lin Qin thought about it, and it seemed that there was such a thing. She only heard a little bit about it, but she didn't understand the details.

But Xia Ning said she didn't buy it with money, so she was more relieved. After all, Xia Ning's life was too hard.

"You still have younger siblings to take care of, so it's better to be more careful with your money. You need to save some money for your younger siblings to go to school in the future."

Xia Ning: "I understand."

Lin Qin smiled: "You are a good boy."

Xia Ning: "Auntie, I have something else to do. I have to leave first."

Lin Qin quickly said: "Don't worry, wait a moment, I will get you some home-grown melons."

"My mother-in-law grew this by herself. We don't have anything else at home. This place is no better than the countryside. There is a mound of soil right at the door. These gourds and melons grow very lushly. I have eaten several of them this year. You Take one back and try it out."

Xia Ning smiled and said, "Auntie, you're welcome."

"Are you being polite? Xiaochuan went to his grandpa's place. He happened to be away from home today. When he comes back, I will tell him that he must be beautiful."

Xia Ning waved his hand: "Then I'll leave first."

……

Zhao Min and Hu Xiuzhi squatted on the roadside all morning today.

One or two people came over and asked them how to sell hairpins.

But after most people asked, they shook their heads and left.

First, Zhao Min opened her mouth. She thought that her hairpins, which took so much effort, would be sold for a big price, so a pair of them cost [-] cents.

But who would buy such ugly hairpins from her?Do you want to pay fifty cents?

Isn't this an international joke?

After squatting until noon, Zhao Min was starving and thirsty. He had finished drinking all the water he brought.

Zhao Min said: "Mom, let's go find something to eat."

Hu Xiuzhi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"A pair of hairpins haven't been sold since morning. Can you still afford it?"

Zhao Min was extremely aggrieved: "If the hairpins are not sold, I will be hungry. What can I do?"

Hu Xiuzhi sighed, couldn't they really take this path?Why can Xia Ning make so much money and do the factory so well?

"Don't just think about eating, you have to think about how to sell these hairpins."

Zhao Min pouted and said, "Then lower the price. Don't sell it so expensive."

Hu Xiuzhi: "Now it's not about price reduction, but we need to figure out where we failed, why Shaning's hairpins can be sold and sell so well, but no one likes our hairpins."

Zhao Min: "How do I know if she used any sorcery?"

Zhao Min felt that what he said was right. When Zhou Junmin was about to die, the whole family thought they would be able to bury him, but he was alive and well now.

That's not because Xia Ning has witchcraft. How to explain it?

Hu Xiuzhi: "It's useless to say this. You have to truly show your abilities."

She is really tired. She relies on her daughter for everything and supports whatever her daughter wants to do. But now she has nothing.

Zhao Min kept talking about food: "Mom, don't talk about this anymore, let's go find a place to eat something, and then think about something after eating."

Hu Xiuzhi was also hungry, so she had no choice but to agree.

The two went to a soup shop and each ate a bowl of dumpling soup while thinking of a solution.

Zhao Min: “Mom, let’s make more clothes and sell them too.”

Hu Xiuzhi wants to make clothes like Xia Ning, but she only has a sewing car.

She had to help make hairpins every day, and the clothes she could make were very old-fashioned, and the funds on hand were limited and she couldn't buy fabrics. Everything was tight.

She felt very irritated and didn't know what Xia Ning did. Neither mother nor daughter could do anything. How did Xia Ning do it alone with two younger siblings?

At this time, Xia Ning had already finished handling the matter and got on the bus to go home, regardless of what Hu Xiuzhi and his daughter were thinking of in the city.

Zhou Junbin often came to the factory during this period, but he just stayed outside and sometimes sat at the door for an hour or two to make sure the factory was normal before leaving.

Hearing that Xia Ning was back, he would come over immediately in the afternoon.

I came over and sat at the door for a while before I saw Xia Ning coming over.

"Brother Zhou."

Xia Ning came back late yesterday and went to the city again early this morning. Only now did she see Zhou Junbin.

Zhou Junbin asked: "Have you gone to the city?"

Xia Ning nodded and said, "Brother Zhou, why don't you go sit inside?"

Zhou Junbin shook his head: "I won't go in. I'm waiting for you here because I want to know Junmin's situation."
