"A scholar who has been away for three days must look at each other with a new pair of eyes."
Jiang He proudly divided a part of the dried sweet potatoes. For this, she also bought a small scale — not an electronic one, but a scale rod and a small weight.
Usually, when she bought vegetables, she would occasionally put them on the scale to see if the boss cheated her or was short of weight.
There were all kinds of things in the market, so she had to be on guard. Although it was not good to go back and find trouble after weighing the vegetables, she would not buy from him next time. Through this method, she could also know which vegetable stall owner was honest and which one was wicked.
Now that she was the boss, of course, she could not be wicked. Jiang He carefully weighed half a catty, then added a little more, packed it in a bag, and happily followed Xu Qing to mail it. She would pay for the postage when she arrived. It was not a loss nor a profit.
She was not happy.
"Why?!" Jiang He felt that something was wrong. Why was the delivery so expensive?
"Just think of it as charity." Xu Qing was glad that he did not gouge his eyes out.
"Isn't it a loss that the delivery fee is so expensive? If it is a little farther, it will be even more expensive, and I have to pay for it!"
"Well … Generally speaking, people have signed a contract. If the quantity is large, there will be a discount. We can try to lower the cost, or let the buyer pay for the postage."
Xu Qing did not expect that she would really start to sell this stupid thing. He thought for a moment and said, "You can sell it in the same city, and pay for the postage if it is far away. I will deliver it for you."
"That's the only way …"
As for the business plan of dried sweet potatoes, Jiang He's business failed halfway through.
"My dried sweet potatoes …"
"Okay, okay, keep the dried sweet potatoes for yourself. You can continue to play games."
Xu Qing comforted her. His current state of mind was already quite different from yesterday.
It was a good thing that his wife wanted to make money.
"Hey.
Although he had treated her as an unmarried daughter-in-law before, after getting their marriage certificate, the feeling was different. Jiang He stood there in silence for her sweet potato jerky plan. As her husband, he had to find a way to comfort her.
At night, Xu Wenbin called.
"You got the certificate?"
"Yeah, the ID card has been stuck for so long, otherwise I would have gotten it long ago."
"Your mom said you want three to five hundred thousand?"
"Will you give it to me?"
"Nonsense!"
"That's it then."
"…"
After a moment of silence, Xu Wenbin said, "Do we have to go out for a meal? We can also discuss the wedding when we have time. "
"I think so," Xu Qing muttered.
"I'm not talking about that … You guys should have thought about it. We're just getting our marriage certificate now, and we'll have a wedding banquet later, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
"That …" Xu Wenbin was confused. What were they talking about?
"It's my first time getting married. I don't understand these things." Xu Qing said, "Have a meal … Let's have a meal together. Find a good place for the four of us. Arrange for lobster and hairy crab."
"That's it …"
Xu Wenbin's voice was steady but also a little panicked.
His son was also getting married for the first time. He didn't understand it either!
Things had gotten out of hand … This was supposed to be discussed between the two families, but in the end, Jiang He was alone …
There was no room for discussion. It was his son's first marriage. What the hell!
Xu Wenbin stood on the balcony, lit a cigarette, and looked up at the night sky. He wanted to pull Xu Qing over and beat him up.
Why was he so good at causing trouble?
Why was he so good at causing trouble?!
He usually went to work and got off work, came home for a hot meal, and passed the day happily. But today, when he picked up the bowl …
Married?
His son was married?
What the hell!
The cigarette between Xu Wenbin's fingers flickered, a little red dot in the dark.
He didn't smoke much. He only smoked occasionally. Sometimes, he didn't smoke for a few days when he was busy.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Suzhi saw him hang up the phone and went to the door to ask.
"What do you mean what's wrong? Have you seen anyone asking for this after getting their marriage certificate?"
"Then what's going on?"
"He asked us to give it to him. If he gave too little, he would lose face. If he gave too much … he happily accepted it. It's much better than asking for it himself. You can't ignore it just because they got married. Speaking of which, it was you who gave it to him. He didn't ask for it. This kid is smart. Jiang He is alone. Anyway, it belongs to the two of them."
"…"
"How much is appropriate?"
"If I don't satisfy him, he will think about asking for my car." Xu Wenbin was vexed.
Xu Qing was such a jerk.
"She doesn't have a family. You are her family. That's what that kid means. Will you feel good if you give too little? When they come over, Jiang He will call you mom and dad. Won't you feel embarrassed? "
…
The first snow came very late, at the end of January.
The cold wind blew, and snow particles drilled into people's necks. Qin Hao shrunk his neck and rode his electric scooter on the street. There was a bouquet of flowers in the basket.
When he reached the entrance of the convenience store, he looked at the time and turned his neck to look left and right. He walked forward for a while. Then, he turned the car around and looked in the direction of the convenience store. He took out his phone and found Xiao Li. He giggled.
"It's almost time to get off work, right? "
A street away.
Wang Zijun drives the car slowly. A woman with a big belly is sitting in the passenger seat. She is holding a sour plum and eating it. She takes out one and hands it over. Wang Zijun turns his head and refuses.
"If you don't want it, I'll eat it myself."
"Eat your food. I don't like sour food … Do you want some egg pancakes?"
"No." Song Hui couldn't understand why this rich second generation with so many properties would like to eat roadside egg pancakes.
"Then I'll go buy one. Wait here for a while."
Wang Zijun parked the car and ran out. He rubbed his hands and said, "A pancake with an extra egg and green onion and cilantro." He turned back and asked, "You really don't want it?"
"No!"
"Do you want some roasted sweet potatoes?"
"No! I'm pregnant. I don't want to eat messy food! "
"Pretentious."
Wang Zijun snorted and looked at the roasted sweet potatoes. He hesitated for a moment and gave up.
The snow melted as soon as it hit the ground. It was far from accumulating.
Xu Qing stood at home by the window sill and looked outside. He opened the window and the cold wind came in. He quickly closed it again.
The room was as warm as spring. This kind of weather should be like a corpse at home.
Because of the heating, the ginger sprouts beside the television were still green. They were already very lush. Later, because they grew too fast, Jiang He picked them up and cut them in half to cook. Fresh ginger was good for the human body.
White Gourd also entered winter mode. He was lazy every day. He liked to lie down next to the heating. He tucked his claws under his belly and squinted his eyes to enjoy the warmth.
When he was wandering, he could only shiver in some corner. It was good to have a home.
Jiang He was not at home. He went out to hang out with Gong Ping. After getting married, there seemed to be no change. Maybe getting a certificate was not considered a real marriage in her mind.
In Xu Qing's heart, he was now a real marriage. He was no longer an unmarried man. As a husband, he needed to do more things. He needed to share the housework at home, such as taking care of the flowers and plants. The pot of lavender seemed to be about to germinate. The soil was slightly raised.
After pouring some water, a green bud came out. Xu Qing looked at it carefully and took a photo to send to Jiang He.
Jiang He, who was hanging out with Gong Ping in the mall, took out his phone and looked at it. He smiled.
"Your husband sent it?"
"…"
Jiang He sighed. They were clearly boyfriend and girlfriend, but Gong Ping called him husband.
Ah yes, they had already gotten their marriage certificate.
They had just gotten their marriage certificate because the weather was good. They were not married yet.
He wore a cashmere plaid scarf around his neck and a thick down jacket. It was a little hot in the mall. Jiang He tugged at the scarf to relax a little.
Gong Ping, who was beside her, was wearing a pair of boots. Part of her legs, which were made of cotton, was exposed. She wore an open trench coat. She looked much better than Gong Ping, who was wrapped up tightly.
She was more resistant to the cold than a martial arts practitioner.
Jiang He admired her very much.
But on second thought, they could go to the mall or a milk tea shop when they went out by car. They wouldn't stay outside for too long, and it wouldn't be too cold.
"When are you going to have your wedding?"
"It's still too early. We have to buy a house first," Jiang He said. This was what Xu Qing said. They had to live in a new house after the wedding.
"Another house … I'm so envious."
"Not at all. It's his parents' house now, not ours. We have to wait for a long time by ourselves. You are the best."
"It's only a matter of time."
Gong Ping didn't think as much as her. She didn't care about the house.
They went to the shop next door to have a cup of milk tea. The two of them strolled among the shops. Jiang He wanted to buy a hat for Xu Qing. A buzz cut would be cold in winter.
"Hello, can I add you on WeChat?"
It was easy to attract attention when two beautiful girls walked together. However, there were very few who had the courage to come over. Today, they met.
Jiang He held the milk tea and turned her head. In front of her was a young man in a brown coat. He was holding a mobile phone. When he saw her looking over, he waved his hand. There was a QR code on the screen.
She was startled and said, "Talking to me?"
"Uh … yes."
Gong Ping almost laughed out loud. She looked at the poor guy with pity.
She was married … and her husband was a ruthless man who practiced pole-standing and swordsmanship every day. He once slapped someone to the ground and even made a dent in the automatic beverage machine.
Even if they weren't married, with her understanding of Jiang He's character, he wouldn't care about this kind of flirting.
Jiang He pulled her fluffy scarf, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay."
She took out her mobile phone from her pocket, scanned it, and added this person as a friend.
"Hey …" Gong Ping was surprised for a moment and couldn't help but say.
"Huh?" Jiang He looked sideways.
"Nothing."
Gong Ping shook her head. Seeing the two of them add each other as friends, she blinked and also took out her mobile phone. "Do you want to add me?"
"…"
The young man was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect such a good thing. He looked at Jiang He and said hesitantly, "Um … okay, let's be friends."
After exchanging WeChat messages, Jiang He continued to stroll with Gong Ping.
"Why did you add him?" Gong Ping saw that the young man had walked away and got closer. "I thought you would refuse."
She added this person because she wanted to see what was so special about him that Jiang He, a married man, didn't refuse.
"Add me as a friend. Why did you refuse?" Jiang He asked.
"Well … this is obviously a flirting."
"Flirting?"
"Of course." Gong Ping complained. I didn't expect a quiet guy like you would do such a thing …
"It's not like you can hook up with me."
Jiang He took out her mobile phone and said hello to the person she just added.

"…"
Seven or eight pictures of dried sweet potatoes were sent out.
[Why do you want to buy sweet potatoes? Free postage in the same city.]
Go to the right. "???" []
"Uh …"
Gong Ping was stunned when she saw her actions.
Well, she thought she had already given up. She only sold it twice in the live broadcast room and didn't mention it again. It turned out that she had changed her position.
"I still have a big bag of dried sweet potatoes at home. I bought too much." Jiang He sighed worriedly.
"I'm thinking about the psychological trauma of that person just now," Gong Ping said quietly.
"If he wants to buy it, ask Xu Qing to deliver it to him. Anyway, Xu Qing has nothing to do every day. Let him exercise. It's not good for his health to stay at home all day."
Jiang He tapped her mobile phone with one finger and took a sip of milk tea with the other hand. Kumquat lemon could not be made hot, so she could only choose red bean milk like Gong Ping.
Little He Miao: "It's all handmade. I guarantee there are no additives."
Go to the right. "That … there's no need. Do you do this? "
Little He Miao: "Otherwise, why would I sell it? It can be eaten for a long time as a snack. Have you eaten it before? "
Go to the right. "Never."
Little He Miao: "Then you have to try it. Although it doesn't look good, it's all artificial. You'll know after eating it. "
Little He Miao: "If you want it, I can give you a discount."
Go to the right. "I just want to make friends."
Little He Miao: "Buy my dried sweet potatoes and we'll be friends."
Little He Miao: "Good things should be shared with friends, right? "
"Go to the right. Friend verification has been activated. You are not his or her friend yet. Please send a friend verification request first. You can chat only after the verification is passed. "
"He deleted me." Jiang He shook her head regretfully. Business was so difficult. Xu Qing's jinx was right again.
The consequence of selling dried sweet potatoes was that she saved a lot of them for herself to eat.
Jinx …
"It's normal to delete him." Gong Ping was speechless. He came to strike up a conversation, and in the end, he bought her dried sweet potatoes.
Only a fool would buy it.
"Sigh, if only the express delivery wasn't so expensive. Then my business plan would have taken its first step."
"What business plan?" Gong Ping did not expect her to have such a thing. She said with interest, "Tell me about it."
"It's a trade secret. What if you steal it?"
"Eh …"
"Hey, come and see. This hat is not bad." Jiang He pulled her into the shop.
Her phone vibrated. Gong Ping took it out and saw that it was the person from before.
Go to the right. "Hello."
Gong Ping looked at Jiang He with the phone and held back her laughter.
Yogurt Girl: "Why do you want to buy sweet potatoes? Free postage in the same city. "
Go to the right. "…"
Both of them were crazy!
The young man took a deep breath and turned to look at the supermarket next to him. He went in and spent five yuan to buy a beautifully packaged dried sweet potato. After paying, he took a picture and sent it to Gong Ping.
Go to the right. "I have it myself! I just want to make friends. "
"Yogurt Girl has activated friend verification. You are not his or her friend yet. Please send a friend verification request first. You can chat only after the verification is passed. "
In the aisle, a young man in a brown coat looked at the dried sweet potato in his hand in a trance.
Why did he buy this thing?
Why would he eat dried sweet potatoes!
