Chapter 500: Gain three jins over New Year
Ma Cheng Min went home and told Huang Xiao Liu. Huang Xiao Liu was overjoyed. Like over the moon overjoyed. She hadn’t gone home since she came to the capital. So when Ma Cheng Min wanted to take her back to the village, her face revealed a rare smile.
Hearing that it was Lin Qing He’s idea, Huang Xiao Liu made a basket of steamed cakes. Which were soft and delicious. Exceptionally good.
Except for leaving some for her son Ma Xiao Dan, the rest was brought to Lin Qing He’s side.
“This steamed cake is really good. Did you make it?” Lin Qing He gave her face. She took a bite on the spot and asked Huang Xiao Liu.
“This is a specialty from my hometown. Teacher Lin, I’m glad you don’t dislike it. I will make it for you when I come back.” Huang Xiao Liu grinned.
Hearing that they were going back to the village, she was excited.
Lin Qing He understood that she might not find her self-worth in the capital, so she agreed.
This steamed cake was delicious. When Zhou Qing Bai came back, Lin Qing He gave him a taste.
Zhou Qing Bai also thought it was good. Lin Qing He suggested, “What do you think of selling this steamed cake as breakfast in the shop?”
“?” Perplexed, Zhou Qing Bai looked at his wife.
This steamed cake was naturally good. He felt it was tasty to eat, but the profit probably won’t be high.
“Get Huang Xiao Liu to make some, put it in the shop and try selling it. Consider it as change of taste,” Lin Qing He said.
Initially, she hadn’t planned this aspect. But this steamed cake was indeed delicious to eat, so Lin Qing He came up with this thought.
“Okay.” Zhou Qing Bai didn’t care about this profit. But seeing his wife had this plan, he had no objection.
Tomorrow Ma Cheng Min and Huang Xiao Liu will take Ma Xiao Dan home. So Lin Qing He went over to bring this matter up to Huang Xiao Liu.
“Can this steamed cake be sold? Does anyone want it?” Huang Xiao Liu’s accent was still heavy. Still, it was in Mandarin.
Lin Qing He said: “I found it delicious. Your skill is extraordinary.”
Huang Xiao Liu rarely received praise from others. She felt a little shy at Lin Qing He’s compliment. At the same time, she was moved.
“I don’t know how other people will find it. I was thinking leaving it until you and Cheng Min to come back. You can get up early every morning, steam some and send some over to try to sell it? If the business is good, then it will permanent afterwards. “Lin Qing He said.
“I’m just afraid that it sell well.” Huang Xiao Liu was excited and a little nervous.
“Generally speaking, it won’t be impossible to sell. According to today’s quality, someone will want it.” Lin Qing He assured.
Her stomach wasn’t picky. But still, this steamed cake was wonderful. It wasn’t a bad idea to let people who often eat at the dumpling shop to occasionally change the taste. As long as Zhou Qing Bai gives a few words of recommendation, it will generally sell.
Ma Cheng Min went to buy tickets. He only heard about it when he got home.
He felt grateful. He understood Lin Qing He’s intention. This was because his wife’s mentally was a little repressed. It was why she gave him a few more days off and let him take her back to the village to relax. And also found such a task to do. It can make his wife feel much better.
Because of the two good news in a row, Huang Xiao Liu really had a beam on her face. Early the next morning, she and Ma Cheng Min took Ma Xiao Dan back to her maternal home.
Toward Huang Xiao Liu’s case, Lin Qing He truly wanted to stretch out her hand and give a hand.
This rural young woman was very responsible. But she had a sense of inferiority in addition to this. She understood clearly in her heart that if Ma Cheng Min hadn’t gone to the countryside, she, an illiterate country girl, would not have been able to marry such a man.
Since coming here, Lin Qing He noticed how cleaned the place was when she visited despite how recluse she was. It showed that she was neat and loved tidiness.
It was just that she hadn’t adapted to here very much since she came here. The surroundings were too different from where she originally lived. Coupled with the pressure of some rumors and gossips from some people outside, she became depressed and unhappy.
Lin Qing He didn’t want /a perfectly fine person to be infected with depression. Simply too misfortunate. So seeing that she had this skill, Lin Qing He was willing to give her a try.
Find something to do and have the opportunity to realize self-worth while taking care of her family. This way, she won’t be in self-doubt and self-denial.
Zhou Qing Bai’s dumpling shop opened again. He also found a temporary worker to wash the dishes.
It was still a while before school starts. Lin Qing He was idle, so she gave Si Ni pointers. While she was at it, she came over to the dry good shop to see Zhou San Ni.
Zhou San Ni ate well. After the New Year, she got a lot rounder.
Lin Qing He smiled and commented, “It seems that Ai Guo gave you his share.”
Zhou San Ni blushed, “I don’t know what’s going on. I feel I can eat all the time.”
Basically, she was hungry every so often. So she felt that she was really fat.
“It’s normal. People who are pregnant have better appetites.” Lin Qing He said. She has no experience in this, but she also knew that one shouldn’t eat too much. So she advised Zhou San Ni to restrain herself occasionally and consume appropriate amount.
Zhou San Ni agreed and said, “Fourth Aunt Si, is Hu Zi’s match confirmed?”
They had New Year’s Eve dinner together. She knew that Hu Zi had brought Chen Shan Shan over, but didn’t find out too much. So she asked about it this time.
“If there is no mishap, it is confirmed.” Lin Qing He smiled.
The relationship between Hu Zi and Chen Shan Shan was developing very fast. Perhaps due to the characteristic of this era. Relationships weren’t too complicated. The two young people legitimately dated under the elders’ approval.
“That’s great. When Second Maternal Aunt know about it, she would be delighted.” Zhou San Ni grinned.
Lin Qing He didn’t pay much attention to these things. Everything was up to fate. If fated, then it was natural wonderful. If not, it can’t be forced.
Zhou Er Ni and Wang Yuan returned after the Lantern Festival.
This year, the snowstorm was relatively heavy. There was even heavy snowfall during the Lantern Festival. The weather remained terrible for the next few days.
When Zhou Er Ni and Wang Yuan returned to the capital, Lin Qing He’s semester had already started.
Ma Cheng Min and Huang Xiao Liu’s family of three had also returned. During this icy weather and snowy ground, there wasn’t much business after opening the shop. till, the time arrived. Lin Qing He still gave order to open the shop. Everyone who needed to go to work, went to work.
When Lin Qing He returned from work, she saw Zhou Er Ni’s much rounder face and smiled: “Went back and got fed a lot of delicious food by your mother, right?”
Zhou Er Ni felt embarrassed. Every day during the New Year, there was nothing to do. So she ate and drank at home all day long. Especially when her mother made hearty meal because of Wang Yuan’s arrival. It was hard not to gain weight.
When she came back this time, she also brought some home specialties, “My mother marinated a lot of salted duck eggs. One share for my grandparents and another for here.”
