Chapter 301 The Cow Tired to Death
Liu Qingqing was not familiar with Jicheng, and she didn't know where the price would rise more sharply in the future.
On the other hand, the houses she bought in Huating were expected to cost at least 100,000 yuan per square meter.
It was uncertain whether she would live to see that time.
Although she didn't know which place was better.
But no matter how she bought, she wouldn't lose money, and she still knew the basic common sense.
The most valuable one was guaranteed to be a Siheyuan.
But it was too difficult to buy a Siheyuan at that time.
The family of three asked several street offices in succession, but they didn't get any news of Siheyuan for sale.
There were two old buildings for sale.
The house was not very good, it was an old-fashioned tube building.
They didn't have much time to stay here.
Liu Qingqing was too lazy to ask around, so she just bought these two houses.
After completing the transfer procedures, the family of three returned to the guesthouse to rest.
As for the Siheyuan, goodbye!!!
She didn't have any obsession with the Siheyuan, and she didn't have to get it.
Liu Qingqing didn't really want to live there. There were two main purposes for hoarding houses: one was to sell them for money, and the other was to have a place to stay in the future.
Now that she had enough money to spend, she didn't care.
There were people visiting the Great Wall and the Forbidden City during the Spring Festival, but it wasn't as crowded as on weekdays.
The family of three first climbed the Great Wall. Xiao Song was too aggressive, and he couldn't stand it after returning.
It took a day of rest in the guesthouse to recover.
Two days before the Spring Festival, Jicheng had a heavy snowfall.
The weather at that time was not as warm as the later winter. Even in Jicheng, it was still 17 or 18 degrees below zero.
Liu Qingqing felt that the Forbidden City had a special flavor after the snow.
She urged her son to go out quickly.
The white and red colors complemented each other, making it look more ancient and heavy.
She took the father and son back and forth to take more than a dozen rolls of film.
Even Xiao Song, who was lucky to get his mother to pay for the photo, regretted it.
He couldn't help taking the photo.
He was numb to the shutter of the camera being controlled by his mother.
"Mom, is this gate the same as the one just now?" He complained listlessly.
Liu Qingqing looked back and said, "Yes, there are two trees here, but there are none in the yard just now."
Song Xiangyang: "..."
Song Jinglin hugged his wife's waist, smiled softly, and looked at the people around him with deep eyes, full of doting.
When he turned to look at his complaining son, he changed his tone instantly: "Don't say those nonsense, take pictures quickly."
Song Xiangyang secretly swore in his heart that he would never go out to play with these two people next time, it was too tiring!!!
And Song Jinglin also had the same plan, except that it was a little useful when taking pictures.
The rest of the time was just a lot of nonsense.
He was not physically strong, but he was always stubborn.
The attractions in Jicheng are very physically demanding. Song Xiangyang patted his chest during the first two days.
Song Xiangyang just wanted to lie down during the next two days.
Song Jinglin was so disgusted that he planned to train his son again after returning home.
How could his son be so weak?
After staying in Jicheng for five days, the family returned home.
Song Xiangyang went to his room as soon as he entered the house: "It's better to be at home."
Liu Qingqing nodded in agreement.
Going out to play is just asking for trouble.
She was happier than anyone else when she was playing, but she didn't want to move when she came back.
Song Jinglin glanced at his son and started to boil water for his wife.
The training schedule for my son has been formed, and I guarantee that he will have enough physical strength for the next trip.
Of course, my wife doesn't need to do that. She is busy enough every day, and she still needs to sleep a little longer in the morning. o((*^▽^*))o
Before Xiao Song could sigh for long, he was dragged out of bed by his dear old father the next morning...
——————————
The Liu family had their New Year's Eve dinner at Old Lady Liu's place.
Liu Dongfang brought his family back to the village in style, and the villagers hadn't seen them for a year.
Everyone came over with a smile and chatted.
Although Liu Dongyuan was not as glorious as his elder brother, he contracted six or seven acres of land from his elder brother and mother, plus his own.
The situation this year was also good, and the harvest was good.
The eldest brother lent him a tractor in the spring, and drove a truck to help during the autumn harvest.
It saved him a lot of work, and he lived a good life.
In short, he felt pretty good.
And Zhang Dani was so busy with the fields at home that she couldn't handle them all, so she didn't have the time to think about anything else.
Two girls, the eldest is a little silly, but she has a good temper.
Now she's sent to school, and maybe she'll get better after the teacher teaches her well.
The second one was also sent to the nursery attached to the school, and she looks much smarter than her eldest sister.
As for having another one?
Forget it, he was as tired as an ox today.
He won't have the time to plow the fields at night.
There's no such thing as badly plowed land, but there are really oxen that die of exhaustion.
Zhang Dani did not mention the matter of having another child. Since the implementation of the family planning policy, she had secretly gotten pregnant in the past two years.
She hid from place to place with a big belly, but was finally caught and sent to have an abortion.
But she suffered a lot.
She was scared when she saw it, and she accepted the scolding from her family for not giving birth to a boy for the Liu family.
She didn't want to die yet...
In 1985, most parts of the country began to implement compulsory cremation.
Many people's ideas could not be changed.
The elderly would cry from time to time, worried that they would not be able to get a complete body after death.
Some children did not agree.
In short, the implementation of this policy was not smooth.
Old Mrs. Liu did not agree.
How come her old Liutou had a complete body, but she was left with only a handful of ashes.
Liu Qingqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Old Liutou was actually involved in this matter? ? ?
Fortunately, cremation was mandatory in Huating, but not in the village.
Old Lady Liu called her two daughters over and told them one by one: "If that day comes, send me back to my hometown while I am still breathing."
Liu Honghua's heart was pounding when she heard it.
She thought the old lady had some kind of omen.
Many of the old people around were like this. Suddenly, they kept talking about their funeral arrangements for a while, and then they really died not long after.
I heard that I had a feeling when that day came.
Of course, some people found this statement unbelievable.
From that day on, Liu Honghua arranged for the girl and the man to accompany the old lady whenever they were free.
Only half a year later, the old lady Liu still cursed with full energy.
Liu Honghua was not so nervous anymore.
Chapter 302: Be Satisfied
Since Song Xiangyang started school, Liu Qingqing has not worried about his studies.
Let's talk about teaching students!
She would not be so angry if she taught other people's children and they could not learn.
But if her own children could not learn, she would be really angry.
After listening to the experience of her colleagues in the office, she decisively let go.
If they did not learn well, they would leave it to others to discipline. As for herself, well, she did not want to be angry.
Maybe it was because of her intelligence ((′')), Song Xiangyang was not slow in learning.
He even skipped a grade.
In this high school entrance examination, she carefully prepared three meals a day for several days to show her motherly love.
Even Song Jinglin wanted to intervene, but she was stopped by him.
Until the child finished the exam, she was completely exhausted, and cooking became a matter of casual mood.
Song Xiangyang can no longer be called a little classmate.
After this summer, he will be a high school student.
Every time Liu Qingqing looked up at her son, she sighed that time flies and years are unforgiving.
The little Song, who was so old, is now such a tall adult.
In the past few years, high school was still a two-year system, but this year, high school has changed from two years to three years.
With an extra year of graduation classes, Liu Qingqing's work is not much busier, and it is even easier than before.
Now because many college graduates have joined, she only teaches English classes for two classes, and there are two classes a day.
Because she has free time, she is also happy to continue working.
——————————
Liu Honghua successfully bought her own house the year before.
The salary offered by her sister to the couple was high enough, and a house at that time cost four or five thousand yuan.
She had never thought that she could buy a house in Huating before.
When Ping Xianghong called Liu Qingqing in the store, she heard that Liu Honghua and her husband had bought a house, and she was a little jealous. Compared with the small town of Wuning, Huating is definitely a big city. She was a little confused after hearing about the house prices. Her family also planned to buy a house, so she mentioned this matter.
"Honghua, you can buy a house there for more than 4,000 yuan?"
"Yes, Jiaxing and I have established ourselves here." Liu Honghua sighed.
Ping Xianghong was a little envious. Although the family didn't have 5,000 yuan, they still had more than 3,000 yuan.
In my hometown, in Wuning.
The neighbor next door spent nearly 3,000 yuan to build a new house.
To buy a house, it would cost nearly 4,000 yuan.
Liu Dongfang also wanted to build a new house at the beginning of the year.
The children were grown up, and the house was not spacious and inconvenient to live in.
The couple had not settled down yet, and was hesitating between building a new house and buying a house.
At that time, the news was not spread well.
No one had the idea of going out.
They only thought about moving from the village to the town, having a job, a house, and a city hukou.
At this time, Wuning still temporarily holds the status of "Big Brother" in Northeast China.
Factories there are thriving, and wages are higher than outside.
Local people have never thought about going out, and the cost of buying and building houses is even higher than in some big cities.
"The price is indeed OK, but your elder brother and I will live here after all, and it is impossible for us to go to your place. No matter how good the price is, it will be useless." Ping Xianghong was quite regretful.
Now she also has a temporary job.
Although the salary is not high, it is not bad.
Even making phone calls here can be free.
Men are the "steering wheel" and "iron rice bowl" that others envy.
Give up this good job and go somewhere else?
Anyone who sees it is a fool.
After talking about the topic, Ping Xianghong asked about the old lady's health and hung up the phone.
She was a little uneasy all day.
When she got home in the evening, she told Liu Dongfang all this: "To be honest, our house is good enough to live in. I didn't think it was a big deal to spend so much money to tidy it up. Now I heard from my eldest sister that the price of buying a house in a big city is about the same as ours. I am a little unsure."
Liu Dongfang thought: "I will call my sister tomorrow to ask. She has many ideas and a good brain."
In all these years, I have never made a wrong move.
Ping Xianghong knew he was referring to his younger sister: "Okay, I called her today, but she wasn't at school or in the store, so I couldn't get in touch."
Liu Qingqing was nowhere to be seen because Song Jinglin heard that the beach here was good.
So he immediately took his wife there.
Song Jinglin drove for 40 minutes to get to this beach open to the public.
This year's Huating was unusually hot, and the people in the beach were like dumplings.
The beach was also full of people lying or sitting.
Liu Qingqing heard Song Jinglin say that he was going to the beach, so she started working a day in advance.
She prepared a large bag of odds and ends.
As for Song Xiangyang.
He had gone to work at a branch of an electrical appliance store after the holiday.
This one is for wages...
He was too happy not to go with the couple, it was boring.
Song Jinglin parked the car nearby, then carried the big bag prepared by his wife, and led people to the beach. When they arrived at the beach, his face changed. There were people in swimsuits in the water and on the shore.
The social atmosphere has become more and more open in the past two years.
At a glance, there were many men and women playing together in the sea.
There were even multiple men and one woman.
He secretly hated the guys in the team for not telling him this...
Looked at his wife's eyes scanning around with interest.
Then he looked down at his belly wrapped in clothes.
His wife has always liked it!
Why didn't she look at him, but looked at others instead?
This lump of flesh should be much better than those soft bellies, right?
Liu Qingqing didn't notice the messy thoughts in his mind at this time.
"Come, just put the bag here."
She quickly found a relatively empty beach and told Song Jinglin to occupy it quickly.
They took out the tent from inside and set it up together.
There were many people holding umbrellas around, but few setting up tents.
If this happened in the future, many beaches would prohibit private tents...
After the tent was set up, Liu Qingqing patted the sand on her hands: "I'm going to change clothes, you watch me."
Song Jinglin was confused. He also had to change into the same clothes as those people outside?
He was a little nervous, afraid that others would see him.
But he also felt that everyone was doing this, and it seemed a bit old-fashioned that he didn't allow people to wear it.
This year, society has changed too fast, and he has been catching up.
Sometimes he still can't keep up with the so-called fashion at this time.
His wife can always keep up, but fortunately, she doesn't like the popular outfits on the street, such as carrying a radio, wearing a floral shirt, flared denim pants and a black belt.
He is very grateful!!!
Liu Qingqing's swimsuit is a one-piece with a skirt.
To be honest, she doesn't like to wear bikinis and feels uncomfortable.
After changing, she applied sunscreen on her face and arms.
Finally, she put on a slightly transparent sunscreen long-sleeved top outside.
The sun on the beach is cruel, and you can't sun yourself into charcoal just for this trip.
Before leaving the tent, he took out a wide-brimmed straw hat and put it on his head.
When Song Jinglin saw his wife coming out, he let out a long sigh.
He meant that his wife's fashion should always be more fashionable.
"Wife, you look so good in this outfit."
Liu Qingqing threw him a little look with a coquettish look: "There are your swimming trunks inside, go and change into them."
Song Jinglin: "Yes, it will be ready soon."
Wife wants to see his muscles (▔, ▔).
Must satisfy.
Chapter 303 Saving Money
Liu Lili took the college entrance examination this year. Before the exam, she filled in the application form for a university. She did not hesitate to apply for the undergraduate school in Huating.
This school was also decided after discussing with her sister-in-law.
Since the college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, the practice has always been to fill in the application form before the exam.
This application method is easy to get into trouble.
Students should make an estimate in advance based on their usual grades.
After filling in the application form, take the college entrance examination.
Colleges and universities admit students based on their college entrance examination scores.
In recent years, there have often been students in the academy who have miscalculated their grades. Some of them were not mentally stable during the exam and did not do as well as usual.
Some were worried that they would be nervous in the exam room, so they deliberately reported a lower score.
Liu Lili studied science, and only math and Chinese had a full score of 120.
Other subjects, including foreign languages, politics, physics, and chemistry, each had a score of 100.
Biology had a score of 70.
The total score was 710.
Although Lili was eight or nine years older than Xiangyang from Liu Qingqing's family, children there started school late.
In addition, her kid skipped a grade.
The two children had different learning progress.
Liu Lili insisted on going to Baohuating.
Liu Dongfang had no objection to Ping Xianghong. His mother, eldest sister, and youngest sister's family were all there, and the child could be taken care of if he went there.
It was too late for parents to support him.
Even though Liu Lili worked hard, she had her aunt to tutor her remotely.
In fact, her grades have always been tepid, just over 500 points.
With this score, she can't even think about getting into a top university.
So Liu Qingqing thought about it and chose an undergraduate program.
Fortunately, the girl was not too nervous when she entered the examination room, and her performance was normal, but it was more than 20 points lower than usual.
But even so, it was enough to get into the school she applied for.
She was satisfied with being admitted to an undergraduate program.
She was the only girl in the village who was admitted to a university in recent years.
She was also the first grandson of the old Liu family to be admitted.
In her grandmother's words, she was the second generation of Wenquxing, a rare female champion in the village.
She was very happy.
She was also unsure about going to her grandmother and aunts.
It was her first time going out, and she was a little scared.
Although her aunt was no longer the aunt she once was, none of the gifts she gave her were what she was proud of.
But now that she had graduated from high school, she believed that her aunt would not send her test papers anymore! ?
Knowing that Lili was going to study here, Liu Qingqing was very happy and asked her elder brother and sister-in-law to send the child here as soon as possible so that she could take the child around during the summer vacation.
After Liu Dongfang hung up the phone with his sister, he went home and talked to Xianghong briefly.
Then he squatted by the door and smoked two cigarettes in a row.
The last one to stand up, threw the cigarette butt under his feet: "I don't want to think about it anymore, just buy a house in Huating."
Ping Xianghong rolled his eyes: "Hurry up and sweep it for me, you dare to throw it on the ground?"
Liu Dongfang's show of strength lasted only three seconds. He squatted for a long time, and he felt a little dizzy after standing up suddenly. He staggered twice before standing steadily.
"Hey, hey, hey. I'll sweep it now."
After making up their minds, Liu Laoda and his wife began to save money seriously.
They saved as much as possible on daily expenses.
The family's food also dropped a level.
You know, since the couple had wages, their living conditions were getting better day by day.
They ate less coarse grains.
After deciding to buy a house, corn cakes became their staple food again.
No matter how much you can save, the more the better.
And my sister-in-law said that it is good to eat some coarse grains.
In early August.
Liu Dongfang took the whole family on the train.
Not to mention the three children, even Ping Xianghong was going out for the first time.
She nervously grabbed Liu Lili and the youngest son.
"Xuebai, you must not let go." She turned back and told her eldest son: "Xuesong, hold on to your dad, if you get caught on the train later, you will cry and you will have nowhere to go!"
Several people were nervous because of her shouting, and these days they heard their mother muttering those "beggars" in their ears.
At this time, everyone was crowded in the train station, and they thought everyone looked like the beggar mom said...
In order to save money, the couple bought three hard seats.
Anyway, it would only take more than ten hours, and they would arrive soon.
After sitting for a few hours, the two little ones couldn't stand it anymore.
In the crowded seats, their three tickets happened to be connected.
Three seats and five people, that was not an ordinary squeeze.
Liu Xuebai had long forgotten what "human trafficker" and "beggar" were, and now he wanted to look around.
"Mom, I want to go to the toilet."
"Wait a minute, Xuesong, do you want to go?" Ping Xianghong turned to look at his eldest son.
Liu Xuesong nodded repeatedly: "I want to go too."
"Lili, are you going too? Let's go together." He waved his hand, and his elbow was not idle. He nudged Liu Dongfang, who closed his eyes, and said: "Go, take them to the toilet."
Liu Dongfang stood up and took the three children to squeeze into one end of the train.
There was no place to stand in the middle aisle. People had to shout "make way" and fight their way out by leaning on their bodies...
When Liu Qingqing met her eldest brother's family, she was stunned by their haggardness.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister, you've been waiting for a long time! This train is really late." Ping Xianghong greeted with a smile.
"Aunt, please don't mention it. There are too many people, the corridors and toilets are full of people, it's too painful, I have to hold it in when I go to the toilet."
Liu Qingqing glanced at her eldest niece speechlessly. She was taller than her, but she still spoke so loudly.
Ping Xianghong slapped her eldest daughter's elbow: "Be steady."
Lili pouted, moved her feet, and walked to Liu Qingqing's side and took her arm: "Aunt, I miss you so much."
After not seeing each other for a few years, this child is still sweet.
Liu Qingqing waved: "Brother and sister-in-law, let's go home."
Liu Dongfang smiled and nodded, picking up two large luggage bags.
This time, they didn't take a few days off.
So they only brought a few personal items, and more of them were for their mother, elder sister, and younger sister.
Compared to the closeness between the elder sister and aunt.
The two younger ones were different.
Except for the initial greeting, the two quietly stood behind their parents, with a sense of hiding.
Liu Lili's two younger brothers were under the "shadow" of their elder sister.
They were strictly controlled by Ping Xianghong.
The two naughty boys didn't like to study, and they would be beaten for no reason.
Usually, the most common thing we hear about our aunt is that our mother happily waves the exercises in her hands and shouts: "Lili, your aunt has found new exercises for you, come and do them."
Now that the elder sister has become a college student, the two brothers often hold their heads and sigh. In the future, the elder sister will not have to do exercises, and the "aunt who gives exercises" should change her target!
Hard times are coming again...
The house that Liu Dongfang's family wants to buy.
Liu Qingqing and her sister had already looked for it everywhere and settled the family in the backyard of the second electrical appliance store.
They had a meal together in the evening, and the next day they took Liu Dongfang and Ping Xianghong to see houses.
None of Liu Dongfang's three children wanted to go.
There are four children from Song Xiangyang and the Zhou family here.
Everyone was on summer vacation, and the older ones knew to work in the store to earn pocket money.
The younger ones were running around all day.
Now there were three more, and with so many children, the roof was about to be blown off.
Song Xiangyang waved his hand and took his older brothers and sisters out to play.
Liu Honghua was really worried, afraid that he would lose the younger ones.
So she asked Zhou Jiaxing to follow.
Chapter 304 A good direction
"Sister, is this really okay?" Liu Dongfang looked at the street that was not much better than Wuning, feeling a little nervous.
Liu Honghua smiled brightly: "Brother, don't worry. The house I bought first has increased by more than a thousand yuan this year."
Ping Xianghong felt a little regretful. If the two of them had planned to buy here two years earlier, they could have saved more than a thousand yuan.
Liu Dongfang was secretly scratching his fingers.
The price of his own place is not so high.
Now the eldest daughter goes to school here.
His supply and marketing cooperative is obviously not as profitable as in previous years.
Sister also said that it is only a matter of time before the supply and marketing cooperative is replaced.
He plans to wait and see in the next one or two years to see if there will be other developments.
The four of them wandered around and looked at three houses.
Finally, they returned to the temporary courtyard for rest, and the couple discussed it.
We'll talk about it the next day.
This is how normal people buy houses.
Unlike her, she would pay for the location just by looking at it...
At night, the tired and hungry children all came back safely.
Liu Qingqing packed food from the hotel.
After returning, they set up two tables in the courtyard.
Now they are also a big family, with eight children alone.
There is no room for them without separate tables.
"Mom, Huating is fun."
"Really, the streets are much more lively than ours."
Liu Xuesong and Liu Xuebai followed Ping Xianghong's buttocks with chattering, using simple children's words to describe the various scenes they saw.
"Okay, okay, you guys should be good to your brothers and sisters, don't mess around..."
Seeing that the mother was about to say something wrong, the two boys looked at each other and ran away.
Ping Xianghong's second half of the words were thrown behind.
"These two brats!"
The arrival of Liu Dongfang and Ping Xianghong made Mrs. Liu very happy.
In the past, she was poor and was busy making a living, and the children were all raised by themselves.
I just hope that they can have the ability to live on their own since they were young.
Now that the conditions are good, I see that the children are getting better and better, and the children's children are getting better and better.
This joy makes her laugh out loud when she closes her eyes.
"Jiaxing, I didn't notice it this morning. You even waxed your hair?!" Liu Dongfang curiously stretched out his hand and pinched Zhou Jiaxing's head.
Uh, sticky.
Zhou Jiaxing chuckled twice: "Honghua did it to me, and I said I didn't want it, but she insisted that 'If you want to be successful, your hair should fall back.' I think she is capable, and she doesn't do this."
Liu Honghua rolled her eyes at him. This was something they talked about while watching TV.
She did it because she saw that he was interested.
He doesn't know what's good for him.
————————
The next day, Liu Qingqing accompanied her eldest brother's family to look at houses again.
"Your sister-in-law and I decided to buy the last one we saw." The price was a little lower, and they had just enough money.
Thanks to the fact that the university does not charge tuition fees for the daughter of a noble family, and she is given a living allowance.
Otherwise, why should I keep a close eye on the other two children's studies?
Nowadays, going to university is a great achievement, it does not cost a penny from the family, and there are good jobs after graduation.
Many people do not know the importance of going to school, and do not send their children to school.
But in recent years, the country has attached great importance to education, and many places have opened more schools.
Some people also see that young people who are admitted to universities do not spend money from the family to go to school, and they will have a stable job in the future.
As long as one child in the family is successful, they can turn their lives around and no longer be peasants.
It also changed the "theory of the uselessness of studying" formed because of those years and those things.
Liu Qingqing nodded, and it is true that the last one is more cost-effective.
The price was cheap only because the house was a bit shabby.
But the eldest brother's family was not in a hurry to live there.
"Okay, let's go there."
The three of them had a goal and no longer thought about other houses.
They found the landlord and signed an agreement, and then went to transfer the ownership.
After a series of procedures, most of the day had passed.
When the eldest sister planned to renovate Liu Dongfang's house, she would ask the workers to repair it.
It was just a matter of one or two months. When Liu Dongfang heard about this convenience, he was very happy and said that he could repair the house and he had to pay for it.
Now Liu Honghua and her husband no longer work in Liu Qingqing's store.
This was proposed by Liu Qingqing.
No matter how good the relatives are, they cannot do business together.
If the eldest sister and her husband continue to work for her, even if the salary is not low.
After a long time, it is inevitable to have some thoughts.
They have been working in the store with me for such a long time, and they have already been familiar with this business.
Liu Qingqing asked the two if they were willing to open a store by themselves.
She could supply them.
In this way, there would be no financial pressure of stocking a large amount of goods.
And it would be their own business in the future, and they would feel at ease no matter how much they earned.
Liu Honghua disagreed at first.
She came to help at the beginning, and now she is familiar with it and wants to start a new business.
What kind of person would she be?
Liu Qingqing didn't care about these.
Not to mention brothers and sisters, or husband and wife. People can share hardships but not happiness.
At the beginning, everything is a difficult stage of starting.
Everyone thinks and works together.
In the future, when they saw the benefits and the money was increasing, they no longer had the same mentality as before. She felt that she had enough money and did not want to force people to stay in her store. Besides, she had also cultivated several management talents in recent years. Liu Qingqing estimated the money that the two sisters had in their hands. With her supply, they could fully support the business. They could even just put out some samples and sell them immediately. The cost was not too high. She analyzed the situation of opening a store for the two of them. Then she stopped asking about the specific decision. Today's market cannot be saturated by one or two stores. Instead of letting others make the money, it is better for our family to make it. Then we will open the store in Xuhui or Minhang. The two stores were not affected by each other.
A month later, the couple thought about it for a long time and nodded again.
After all, they saw how much money the electrical appliance store and the clothing store made.
Since the sister supported the two of them to go it alone, they didn't hesitate.
If they made more money, they might be able to save a house for each of their children.
Liu Honghua and Zhou Jiaxing didn't make the stall so big at the beginning.
At the beginning, they just rented a small storefront.
The couple only bought some electrical appliances from the sister.
They didn't hire anyone to do the work, just the two of them worked hard.
They have made a lot of profit in the past six months.
The couple has now moved to a bigger storefront and hired someone to do odd jobs.
The one I rented before was also bought a while ago.
Liu Honghua plans to set up a clothing store.
With the supply of girls, there is no need to worry about selling.
Everything is going well.
Chapter 305 Celebration
It's the college entrance examination season again.
Liu Qingqing has experienced countless college entrance examinations in recent years.
But her own children and nephews are still different.
Song Xiangyang is the fourth one among the children to be admitted to university.
At this time, it doesn't matter whether it is a junior college or a bachelor's degree.
The old people in the family think that they are all universities and don't feel any difference.
The main reason is that there is no obvious difference in treatment between junior colleges and bachelor's degrees at this time, and graduates are assigned jobs.
Even technical secondary schools have job assignments.
It's just that the working conditions and treatment are average.
Song Xiangyang applied for the Aeronautics and Astronautics University in Jicheng. Liu Qingqing has put a lot of effort in the three years of high school.
She has taught many graduating classes and gained a lot of experience in setting questions for several nephews.
When it came to Song Xiangyang, cramming before the exam was her best skill.
But she was also anxious and angry.
Now that her son had been admitted to university, Liu Qingqing felt that she had to celebrate for herself.
Not for Song Xiangyang, but for herself.
She had to be lucky to have this one son.
If she worried a few more times, her hair would fall out.
This feeling was more tiring than when she took the exam herself.
When Song Jinglin heard his wife say that she wanted to celebrate, he booked a hotel without saying a word.
He saw how hard his wife had worked for the past one or two years, but he couldn't help.
In terms of study, his level was really not good.
So he could only train his son as much as possible so that he would have a strong body and a clear mind.
So that he can listen carefully to his wife's teachings.
"There's a new restaurant in the suburbs. I heard that the chef is an old craftsman and the food tastes great. I have nothing to do today, so why don't I go over and try it tonight?"
"Okay, let's go try it." Liu Qingqing smiled and asked Song Jinglin to drive.
The family of three has moved from the family building to a small courtyard with a garden.
Song Xiangyang's black question mark face? !
Isn't it to celebrate for yourself? ? ?
Why didn't anyone ask for his opinion? ? ?
Looking at the two people who were busy with their own things, Song Xiangyang also hurriedly changed his clothes to catch up.
If he waited a little longer, he was afraid that the two of them would forget about him, the protagonist...
As for the restaurants in Huating, Liu Qingqing estimated that there were several restaurants opening every good day.
As the service industry prospers, the service attitude is also getting better and better.
With competition, each restaurant will improve in all aspects.
Strive to be different from others.
Entering the hotel, everyone was guided to a private room by the waiter.
It is not appropriate to call it a private room, because the dining tables in the entire hall are separated by wooden screens, which are not completely blocked.
Song Jinglin first pulled out a chair for Liu Qingqing, and then sat next to her.
The two of them huddled together and studied the menu.
"This restaurant has more Shandong dishes, which should be more suitable for us than the sweet dishes here."
Liu Qingqing nodded. She likes the salty and sweet taste of pineapple sweet and sour pork, and doesn't like all dishes with sugar.
"I want a first-class tofu and a fish slice in stewed sauce." Liu Qingqing looked through them and pointed at two.
Song Jinglin nodded, then turned to his son: "Son, take a look."
Song Xiangyang took the menu. His father was so nice that he still remembered him. /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
"I want this nine-turn large intestine."
Liu Qingqing twitched her lips.
When she heard this word, a mushroom head automatically came to her mind...
Song Jinglin nodded. Seeing that his son didn't have anything else to order, he took it and ordered another fried double crispy.
Four dishes for three people should be enough.
They have a saying in Taoshan Village that when cooking, whether at home or outside, you cannot order three dishes.
"Three dishes" means a meal for the dead. In the past few years, every family was poor.
Even so, three dishes would be prepared for offering.
One "dish" is Chinese cabbage stalks, cut into irregular small piles, with four or five pieces, and then strung together with chopsticks.
One "dish" is vermicelli, there are less than ten thick vermicelli, pinch a handful, and put the other end into the oil pan and fry it for a while, the vermicelli looks like it has bloomed.
The last dish is a big dish - pork belly, with cuts on the pork skin, and it can be offered after it is cooked.
Of course, this piece of meat will not go blind, and will eventually end up in the stomachs of their own family.
It's just that after being placed for a long time, there is a strange smell that cannot be described.
Liu Qingqing remembered that her family had placed it before, and the old Song family had also placed it before.
Only Old Lady Liu never cared about these things and did not place it either.
——————————
Song Xiangyang planned to report alone.
Liu Qingqing did not agree.
He still had to send himself to the place in the first year.
After a year of experience in college, she would not care where he wanted to go.
Now, looking at her son with such clear and stupid eyes, she was worried that this son was deceived and had a stomachache.
He was not convinced that his mother said he was stupid.
Obviously he has a very high IQ. He looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, and, well, he looked very smart.
Chapter 306 Price Increase
In 1989.
The house price in Huating began to rise sharply.
At one point, it surpassed many cities such as Jicheng and Huicheng.
The price of more than 2,000 yuan per square meter made the 200 yuan monthly salary of the high-income people with "iron rice bowls" seem like a joke.
If you save enough money to buy a house, you will probably be buried in the ground.
Liu Dongfang saw the news in the newspaper and called Huating happily: "Sister, the house price is so scary now, should we take the opportunity to sell it?"
Once the house is sold, it is enough to buy several houses in the hometown.
Liu Honghua also has the same mentality. The current price is a bit scary.
But a house is worth more than 200,000 yuan.
But she didn't want to sell it. It was just a house that they were living in. How could they afford to sell it to a family?
Now one of the four children has joined the army, two have been admitted to junior college, and one is in technical secondary school.
But they have to come back, right?
She was still worried about how to buy a few more houses at such a high price...
"You can sell it if you want. The price will be the same for a while in the future. But don't regret it. In another 10 or 20 years, the money you sell now won't even be enough to buy a toilet."
Is the price high now?
That's because it hasn't been higher yet.
"Haha, I'm just afraid that the price will drop." Liu Dongfang laughed twice.
"It will definitely not fall in price. If you are not short of money now, I suggest you don't sell it." If you insist on selling it, she will not hold back.
"I know, how is my sister Lili these days? I haven't seen her for a while."
Liu Qingqing...
"She is fine. She eats at her grandmother's house on Sundays. Don't worry about her." The eldest brother just saw her half a month ago, but he was still worried.
It can be seen that parents' concern for their children will not decrease as the children grow up.
Liu Dongfang said "Ah" and hung up the phone.
He also told his second brother about the purchase of the house.
The price was really good at that time, but now Huating has risen to this level.
In comparison, Wuning has not changed much.
Now it is only 18,000 yuan per set.
However, Liu Dongyuan has been living well on the land these years.
The rent he and his mother asked for was food, which was not much compared to the rent.
Since his mother went to live with her sister, she has not asked for rent for some years.
But if you want to say how much money he has saved, it is only about 1,800 yuan.
It is still a long way from buying a house in the city.
Besides, he has no such idea. He thinks it is good in the village.
Liu Dongfang sighed, saying that his second brother was not active, but he was almost the same.
In the past few years, he insisted on working in the supply and marketing cooperative, but Ping Xianghong was on his side.
Seeing that Liu Honghua and her husband have done well in the past few years, they have already bought two shops.
She gritted her teeth and retired from the unit.
At first, she couldn't afford to run a store, so she became a middleman.
To get some of the profits of the middleman.
Later, she bought another bungalow with a courtyard in Wuning to store goods.
He was a little anxious when he saw this, because his wife was getting better than him.
He also burst into a burst of fighting spirit.
He borrowed some money and rented a storefront for his wife.
Then he bought a discarded second-hand Dongfang and started to run transportation.
At the same time, he could also transport goods for his wife.
Now, in addition to having her own store, Liu Honghua can also act as an intermediary supplier to provide goods to some stores here.
Liu Qingqing has been doing wholesale while expanding her store because she has a purchase permit in recent years.
After the good times of these few years, the market is no longer a seller's market.
Customer demand has decreased, and manufacturers of various brands have emerged one after another.
In fact, she thinks that the durability of electrical appliances at that time is also one of the reasons.
Whoever buys it can use it for more than ten or even twenty years.
Some manufacturers even went bankrupt because the quality was too good and customers did not need to buy frequently...
Those electrical appliances will have a much shorter lifespan in the future.
Entering the 1990s, customers began to pay attention to brand logos.
And the supply and demand relationship has also changed.
There will never be the days of making tens of millions of gross profits in these years.
Once the opportunity is gone, it will never come back.
In addition to the prophets, there are many more people who have seized the opportunity to stand out in this era.
Chapter 307 Deep Affection
"Aunt, I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight."
Liu Qingqing was marking papers in the office. When she received Lili's call, she was a little confused: "What's wrong? What's the good news?"
"Oh, nothing happened, I just got paid." Lili has already started her internship, and her current internship salary is more than 100 yuan.
"Aunt, you call grandma and uncle, I've also called aunt."
The little girl who was very picky about food when she was young has now grown into a generous girl.
Liu Qingqing immediately agreed.
This year, Lili is the only child around.
The other children are all studying outside.
The family gathered at the first store of the electrical appliance store, and Liu Lili took them to the opposite side with a smile.
Liu Qingqing looked up at the big sign "KFC Hometown Chicken" and was a little speechless.
I guess I am the only one who likes this among this group of people.
A KFC opened in Jicheng two years ago, but it was not called "KFC" at that time.
"KFC Hometown Chicken" is its full name. She took her son to eat it once when she sent him to school.
Children love this very much.
This one in Huating just opened a few days ago.
Liu Qingqing has not been here yet.
It is probably because there are few such practices in China, and everyone heard that it is a foreign hotel.
As soon as KFC entered China, it quickly became popular all over the country, and some people even traveled across mountains and rivers just to eat it.
Many people who travel to Jicheng actually regard KFC as a check-in attraction.
Liu Honghua entered the hotel in high spirits, but her face immediately changed when she heard that a set meal cost more than ten yuan.
Although she has money now, she doesn't eat like this.
A meal for all the people at their table would cost more than a hundred yuan.
Liu Qingqing quietly poked her elder sister to tell her to stop making a fuss.
It's not long before the New Year, so she'll give Lili a bigger red envelope later.
It's the first time for a child to get paid and the first time for him to treat adults to a meal.
Don't discourage her like this.
The people's consumption level is low nowadays, and for ordinary people, it's really a "luxury".
Lili ordered the meal with great interest, and Liu Qingqing followed her because she was afraid that she didn't have enough money.
Unexpectedly, Liu Lili should have done research in advance.
Her expression didn't change at all when she heard the price.
Since she started school, this girl has not spent her family's money because of the school subsidy.
She is also self-reliant.
Various fried chicken burgers were served on the table, and Mrs. Liu's eyes, which had shrunk in the past two years, widened.
"Is this what you want to eat?"
"Yes, grandma, I heard that it is foreign food, and foreigners eat it this way, so let's try something new." Lili handed it to her with a smile.
"Okay, grandma, we little Lili are also filial to you, let's try the foreign way of eating."
"I told grandma when I was a child that I would buy you delicious food in the future."
The conversation between the grandparents was warm.
Liu Honghua and her husband and Song Jinglin ate a little reluctantly. This was really not something they were used to.
Although several people didn't like it very much, they ate it up after the meal.
After leaving the hotel, everyone went home.
Mrs. Liu waved her granddaughter away and sighed: "Oh, mother, this foreign thing is really painful to eat."
"Haha, let's go, I'll cook noodles for you when we get home."
"Okay, okay, noodles are better than this thing." Mrs. Liu laughed twice, then restrained herself: "You can't say it in front of Xiao Lili, understand? Don't hurt the child's intentions."
"Then take a look, how can I not understand?" Liu Qingqing comforted the old lady and took Song Jinglin home.
On the way back, Song Jinglin passed by a cake shop and saw a pretty little cake.
"Wife, I'm going to buy something. You and mother can walk slowly."
After a while, he caught up with her again, carrying two bags with small boxes in his hands.
Liu Qingqing knew that he had bought her delicious food again.
With the invasion of various film and television cultures and Western culture in recent years.
Song Jinglin has also learned a lot of skills on how to make his wife happy.
If he publishes a book, he thinks it would be more appropriate to name it "Five Hundred Ways to Please Your Wife".
Liu Qingqing also likes the occasional surprises at home, or the little romance of a short trip.
After being with Song Jinglin for so many years.
She thinks that at first she was just in love, and she didn't have any special feelings for gay men.
Not as emotional as many people, who meet, fall in love, and fall in love at first sight.
Then they fell in love.
The real feelings between the two people are in every minute of their time together in the future.
When you think about the other person, the other person thinks more about you.
At first, she actually didn't want to go on with Song Jinglin.
She is a realistic person. When she first came here, if she was single, she would encounter and face many troubles.
So when she found out that she had the identity of Song Jinglin's wife, the first thing she thought of was that this was good.
He was away from home all year round, and with such a background, she was not afraid of gossip and harassment from idle people.
Later, she also felt that the other person's personality was not bad, at least his mood was stable, and there was no conflict or contradiction between her and him in terms of values.
Over the years, she felt Song Jinglin's sincerity.
She also put her heart into maintaining this relationship.
Chapter 308 Building a House
At the beginning of the year, Mrs. Liu suddenly wanted to go back to her hometown.
She hadn't been back for a few years, and the old house in Taoshan Village was in a mess.
There was no place to live if she went back.
"Mom, wait for a few months. I'll find someone to rebuild the old house in the village. When it's done, it'll be my summer vacation, so we can go back together."
"It's okay. Why spend that money? You can move in after cleaning. Your second brother said that he has repaired the leaky roof. Besides, I won't live there for a few days if I go back..."
Liu Qingqing was a little worried when she heard her say this. The old lady was not in a good state after the New Year.
She specially went to draw a prize of several thousand yuan, and finally won a lot of tonics to delay aging.
After giving it to my mother recently, it has some effect, but not as obvious as before.
A few days ago, she took her to the hospital for a full-body checkup.
Everything is normal, and the degree of aging of various organs is also in line with her age.
Old Mrs. Liu still has her idea of returning to her roots.
But after seeing that everything was normal in the examination, her mentality gradually relaxed.
When she got home, she applied vanishing cream: "I don't know why, I always feel that I should go. Now it seems that I can't go for a while. I have to take care of myself. There are more wrinkles..."
Liu Qingqing...
The old lady recovered as usual, and she and her eldest sister were relieved.
In the evening, the whole family gathered together and made dumplings for her.
"I haven't eaten this stuff for a long time."
"Yes, it's the roe deer meat my eldest brother brought over the other day." This stuff won't last for a few years.
"Don't worry about the house, I'll let your second brother clean it up." The second son lives in the village, so it's easy to find someone.
She also has money in her hand. (The salary given by the old lady (′')**)
Sending it back to the second son will also make him comfortable.
"Okay, mother, you can arrange whoever you want." Liu Honghua rolled the dough with a smile.
It was still the younger sister who reacted quickly and took the old lady to get a check-up in time.
It dispelled the mother's suspicion and made the children feel relieved.
Otherwise, she would not remember this. In the concept of her generation, she never thought of going to the hospital.
Maybe he is used to being poor? !
Although the task of renovating the old house was given to Liu Dongyuan.
However, Liu Qingqing and others also remitted a sum of money.
Liu Dongyuan felt a little hot after receiving the money. Together with the money given by his mother, it was nearly 20,000 yuan.
Isn't it enough to renovate any house?
He kept the money in his hand, fearing that his wife, who was not clear-headed, would tell her parents about it again, and then be resented for nothing.
Zhang Dani was a confused person all her life.
A few years ago, when her parents blamed her for giving birth to a boy, they quarreled for a while.
Later, they contracted a large piece of land, and the old Zhang family began to get involved again.
It didn't take much effort to coax her.
Another time, his daughter Liu Yuling's tuition was cheated away by his wife's family.
Zhang Dani broke up with her family again.
Not long after, someone from her family came to help her with some farm work and coaxed her again...
The Zhang family has been living in poverty for these years, and he has nothing to say.
Anyway, as long as his wife has no money, just coax her!
Zhang Dani opened the gate excitedly: "Boss, I heard that our mother and sisters have sent you money???"
Liu Dongyuan glanced at her and ignored her.
A few days later, the news that the Liu family was going to build a two-story building spread throughout the village.
Small houses are not even popular in the town now, and it is the only one in the village to build a small house.
Zhang Dani was confused: "How much money did they send? Can they build a small house?"
"We can't just let them pay, our family has to pay a share, they are all sons and daughters, no one can be left out." Liu Dongyuan left a message and went out.
Zhang Dani chased after him and asked: "How much do we have to pay! Huh???"
I heard that the second brother wanted to build a small house.
Liu Qingqing called the village: "Second brother, is the money enough?"
"Enough, the labor in the village is cheap, just spend some money on materials." The big part is bricks, cement, wood and the like.
"Okay, if it's not enough, you have to tell us."
Chapter 309 My Own Nest
In May, Mrs. Liu's two-story building was completed.
At this time, it only takes one or two months to build a house.
Liu Dongyuan thought that slow work produces fine work, and he actually took an extra month.
When Mrs. Liu heard that the house was completed, she was even more anxious to go home: "I, Li Guihua, can live in my own two-story building. This life is so successful."
Liu Qingqing laughed: "Mom, didn't you always live in a building before?"
"That's different. It's not my nest."
Liu Qingqing shuddered in her heart. If she put herself in someone else's shoes, she would always want to have her own house.
"Then you should wait a little longer, mother. I will be on vacation in more than a month. You can come back after the vacation."
Old Mrs. Liu sighed, and when she got up the next morning, she was mumbling something in her mouth, and her hands were gesturing to the west.
"Dreams of bad luck hang on the west wall, and dreams of good luck when the sun comes out."
"Mother, what are you doing?" It was quite scary.
"I dreamed of your father last night. He stood by a river and waved to me across the river. I woke up in a flash, and I was so shocked that I broke out in a sweat. You said that this old man was still waiting for me after he died for so many years. This dream is not good, I have to break it quickly."
Liu Qingqing wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, and called her elder sister to accompany her.
Old Lady Liu caught the eldest daughter and told her about her afterlife: "Don't let me wear those old clothes, I don't like them. There is a set of clothes I made last year in this big cabinet, I like it. When I die, wear this, okay? Also, cremation is not popular in our village, you have to transport me back and sell me, don't burn me, I heard from Xiaoqin that when that person was burned, he screamed..."
Sister Liu Honghua was a little embarrassed by what she said, so she was sent to the hospital directly.
After a checkup, she was in good health.
Except for some common old age diseases, everything else was fine.
"Mom, you can rest assured this time! It's okay." Liu Honghua smiled and patted the old lady's arm.
Old Lady Liu didn't respond: "You will all follow my instructions when the time comes, don't forget."
People thought that the old lady was thinking too much.
When the summer vacation was approaching, she was so sick that she couldn't get up.
From the hospital to home, she drove back to Wuning.
Liu Qingqing was a little flustered, and Song Jinglin drove the whole way.
The car followed Liu Dongfang's car, and the eldest brother-in-law sat in the passenger seat. The things that the old lady asked to take were loaded in the back of the car.
The old lady closed her eyes all the way, only drinking some water occasionally.
Before the car entered Wuning Town, Old Lady Liu's condition improved.
She ate half a box of dumplings while saying she was hungry.
After entering the village, she was much more energetic.
Liu Honghua's eyes flushed: "Sister, it's probably a last gasp."
Without waiting for Liu Qingqing to say anything.
Old lady Liu hit her on the back of the head: "You are quite old, don't talk if you can't."
Liu Honghua cried and laughed, hugged the old lady and howled for a long time.
"Hurry up and stop peeing, don't embarrass yourself when you enter the village."
Many of the older generation in Taoshan Village have passed away in recent years.
Old lady Liu no longer had the mood to show off, and greeted the villagers on the road with a smile.
Two cars drove straight to the conspicuous small building.
The small second floor was not built in the original location.
There were neighbors around, and there was not enough space.
Liu Dongyuan found the village chief and re-approved a piece of residential land, which was not far from the old house.
Old Lady Liu looked at the house with the gate tightly closed, and smiled.
Hearing the noise, Liu Dongyuan and his family of three also rushed over.
After the small building was built, there were still some materials left, so he also renovated his own house.
"Why didn't I see Yuling?" Old Lady Liu was always afraid that this granddaughter would be as stupid as her mother.
Liu Dongyuan paused and avoided the topic: "Mom, which room should I live in?"
The area of the two-story small building is not too large.
But four bedrooms are enough.
After the house was renovated, Liu Qingqing asked her eldest brother to bring back a car of furniture and appliances.
It is not difficult to move in now.
Old Lady Liu did not collapse after a day or two of her last moments as Liu Honghua thought.
On the contrary, she is very agile, and can eat and drink.
These days, Liu Dongyuan gradually told the story of his eldest daughter.
"A few months ago, a high school classmate of hers said that she could earn a lot of money working outside, so she followed him. Later, she made a few phone calls to the village and told everyone to go to her place to earn money." This eldest daughter is too simple-minded. She left without taking care of her family.
Now she has done this, and no one in the village believes her.
Liu Dongyuan was a little angry. He didn't know who cheated this daughter outside, and he didn't dare to let his mother know just now.
"I asked Jinglin to find out. Did she say where she was?"
"She just said Zhanghe City..."
——————————
Old Mrs. Liu was not dizzy or blurry. Seeing that she was in good condition, everyone stayed for a few days and then returned to Huating.
Only Liu Qingqing planned to stay here for the summer because of the summer vacation.
Two weeks later, Liu Yuling was found.
It can't be said that she was found, but the pyramid scheme she belonged to kicked her out.
In the 1990s, there was no pyramid scheme law, and the pyramid scheme organizations were not big at that time. Basically, they deceived people and then brought their relatives and friends to cheat money.
At the stage when the industrial chain was not formed, Liu Yuling picked up a life.
It's really funny. Liu Yuling was tricked by her classmates and went there. Because she didn't have much money, the leader asked her to contact relatives and friends.
She wrote letters and made phone calls to everyone she knew.
But she didn't get anyone.
And she didn't realize that the other party was tricking her. The leader saw that she was wandering around doing nothing every day.
So he asked her to cook for everyone.
Unexpectedly, she ruined the entire pyramid scheme with such a small thing as cooking.
A big pot of rotten winter melon sent everyone to the hospital.
The angry leader stopped her in the hospital, but she was still unhappy and insisted that she hadn't made any money yet.
Finally, the pyramid scheme leader called the police...
When Liu Yuling was sent back, she was still complaining that the other party did not pay her.
Liu Qingqing was really troubled.
This girl was really mean, she was angry for her second brother and his wife.
Chapter 310: If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world
Seeing that the old lady was in a bad condition, Liu Qingqing's children figured out the reason.
That is, she wanted to go home.
After hearing the news, the children who were in school returned to Taoshan Village one after another this summer vacation.
The house was originally quite large, but after these children came in.
It actually seemed quite crowded.
Old lady Liu looked at the messy living room: "Old lady, you are still foresighted. It's good to have one child."
I didn't think so when I gave birth to four children.
Now the four children have added so many, oh my god, my head hurts.
Such a big house is almost not enough to live in.
Thanks to all the kids.
Liu Qingqing: ...
She and her mother were used to the quiet life, so they could not understand the liveliness of her elder brother and elder sister's home.
In mid-August, the children left one after another.
Old Mrs. Liu waved with a smile and looked at the house again.
Well, she didn't feel empty at all.
Li Guihua was so strong that she could adapt to any environment.
She walked to the big tree at the entrance of the village with her hands behind her back: "Daqin didn't come today..."
Now it's comfortable to live in the small building, and my second brother often comes to take care of me.
Seeing that the old lady was happy every day, Liu Qingqing returned to Huating before school started.
More than a month away from Huating did not affect the normal operation of several stores.
She is not the kind of person who wants to be strong and big.
Now the store and the factory have their own managers.
When the money is enough, she doesn't want to spend that energy anymore.
Song Jinglin has not been idle these days.
He often asks the young warriors he is dating about good places around.
The first weekend after Liu Qingqing came back.
Song Jinglin took her to the hot spring.
"Hey, you know such a place?"
In addition to the hot spring, other entertainment and dining facilities are also complete.
It is not a purely Western restaurant, which is very popular with Song Jinglin.
He is the least used to Western food.
Liu Qingqing prefers to drink wine, compared to the bitterness of beer and the spiciness of white wine.
The taste of wine is more suitable for her.
The dishes were stir-fried dishes, and rice was the staple food...
Although others did not understand this meal, the two of them were still quite comfortable.
Whether the food was to their liking or not had nothing to do with other people's opinions.
After the meal, the two were led by the waiter to a small courtyard.
The hot springs here have male and female hot springs, and there are also independent courtyards for couples.
Of course, the prices are also quite different.
The spring water is a running water design.
Leaning in the hot spring, there is a large TV screen in front of you to watch movies.
Liu Qingqing slid into the water and sighed comfortably: "This place is really nice."
Hearing that she liked it, Song Jinglin smiled.
At this time, it was already a very trendy facility.
There was nothing wrong with this trip except that it was expensive.
However, the two spendthrifts didn't feel anything, as they had made enough money over the years.
While others donated to certain associations or organizations.
She delivered books to remote areas.
These books were carefully selected by them, and delivered by their eldest brother-in-law and several employees.
As for schools, only two were built, and Song Jinglin was watching to prevent them from falling into the pockets of those with ulterior motives.
For more, forget it, because he couldn't keep an eye on them.
In some areas, the schools donated by others were used as office buildings for cadres, and this situation was not rare. Liu Qingqing felt that the only books that could really reach the hands of children in need were these elementary and junior high school textbooks...
Previous Chapter: Chapter 310 If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world
Chapter 311 It is the end and the beginning
Two years later
Song Xiangyang did not work after graduating from university.
Instead, he continued his research and further studies at the school, engaged in the technical development of aerospace.
Liu Qingqing did not expect that her son, who was average in intelligence, could become a little pedant.
I dare not think about it!
After the children graduated, it was the season for parents to urge them to get married.
There were also many people in the compound who came to inquire about Song Xiangyang.
Now most young people are against the model of parents introducing them to partners.
Liu Qingqing did not like it either.
She was urged a lot in the past, and now she can't impose the difficulties she has suffered on her son.
She said, "Children have their own ideas, and parents should not get involved in emotional matters." She turned away all the people who wanted to be matchmakers.
But the eldest sister was very covetous of the good girls introduced by others.
When she came to visit Liu Qingqing's house, she actually "intercepted" one.
Now she has married Zhou Xiaoquan from her family.
Among these children in the family, the second brother's family got married early.
With the old lady Liu watching, Liu Yuling's partner is not a fool, but a good person, and she is a good match.
Lili said that she was a non-marriageist, and Ping Xianghong almost chased her out of the three streets.
The eldest sister and her husband urged her to get married. After the eldest got married, they were thinking about the second one...
She thought that if she didn't urge her, Song Xiangyang would marry and have children later.
As a result, she didn't rush her son to get married, but her son took the lead in calling to inform him that he had found a girlfriend.
After bringing the little girl home before the New Year.
Liu Qingqing and Song Jinglin looked at each other.
They looked familiar with this child.
Before, her son said he had a girlfriend, and Liu Qingqing, in the principle of not being annoying, did not ask about the girl's situation.
She only asked about her taste and preferences for food.
Hearing the knock on the door, Liu Qingqing and Song Jinglin ran to the door together.
Don't say it, it was the first time to be an old lady, and I was a little nervous.
After opening the door and seeing the baby-faced girl outside, Liu Qingqing greeted with a smile: "You're back! Come in, come in."
The baby-faced girl smiled and greeted generously: "Uncle, aunt, I haven't seen you for many years."
Liu Qingqing blinked: "Is it Xiaoxue?"
Song Xiangyang looked like he was watching the excitement. He deliberately didn't say the name, just to see his parents' reaction.
Liu Qingqing rolled his eyes at him, and Song Jinglin pushed him away.
The two surrounded Yao Xinxue and asked about the situation of Yao Ranpeng and Guo Fengjuan.
In the years when I first came from Xiping, I still had some correspondence with them.
Later, everyone was busy, and the contact gradually became less.
"My parents are both very nice, but they are both retired and now they help my eldest brother take care of the children."
They are all acquaintances. Even though they haven't seen each other for many years, Yao Xinxue felt a little restrained at first. After chatting for a few words, she suddenly found the feeling of the past and relaxed.
When she was a child, Aunt Liu always gave her delicious food, and she had eaten at her house many times.
Thinking of this, the smile on her baby face became sweeter.
Speaking of Song Xiangyang and Yao Xinxue, they were both young when they played together, especially Song Xiangyang, who didn't remember much.
They didn't recognize each other when they met, but Xiaoxue remembered Song Xiangyang's name, and they got along well when they talked.
Song Xiangyang laughed and said that they were not childhood sweethearts.
No one expected that the two could get together.
"The food is getting cold."
Liu Qingqing reacted and was so excited that she kept talking to him for a long time: "Yes, come and eat, everything is ready, we are waiting for you two..."
Chapter 311 The End and the Beginning
Two years later
Song Xiangyang did not join the work after graduating from university.
Instead, he continued his research and further studies at the school, engaged in the technical development of aerospace.
Liu Qingqing did not expect that her son, who was average in intelligence, could become a little scholar.
I dare not think about it!
After the children graduated, it was the season for parents to urge them to get married.
There were also many people in the compound who came to ask about Song Xiangyang.
Now most young people are against the model of parents introducing them to partners.
Liu Qingqing did not like it either.
She was urged a lot in the past, and now she could not impose the difficulties she had suffered on her son.
She said: "Children have their own ideas, and parents should not participate in emotional matters." She blocked the matchmaker.
The eldest sister, on the other hand, was very covetous of the good girls introduced by others.
When she came to visit Liu Qingqing's house, she actually "intercepted" one.
Now she has married Zhou Xiaoquan from her family.
Among the children in the family, the second brother's family got married early.
With the watchful eyes of Old Lady Liu, Liu Yuling's partner is not a fool, but a good person, and is a good match for her.
Lili, the girl, said that she was a non-marriageist, and was almost chased out of the three streets by Ping Xianghong.
The eldest sister and her husband urged her to get married. After the eldest got married, they were thinking about the second one...
She thought that if she didn't urge him, Song Xiangyang would marry and have children later.

In the first few years after coming from Xiping, they had some correspondence with them.
Later, everyone was busy and gradually the contact became less.
"My parents are very good, but they are retired and now they help my eldest brother take care of the children."

Song Xiangyang laughed and said that they were not childhood sweethearts.
No one expected that the two of them could get together.
"The food is getting cold."
Liu Qingqing reacted, excited for a moment, and talked to the other person for so long: "Yes, come and eat, everything is ready, just waiting for you two..."
