In the evening, Shen Qingqing lay down on the bed exhausted, so tired that she didn't even want to move her toes. "After today, I won't want to go shopping in the next six months."
Meng Yuan picked out a big yellow mango from the basket and said with a smile: "Next time, you can hire a few more people to move things... Do you want to eat mangoes? I will peel them for you."
"Let's have a taste." Shen Qingqing turned over, resting her head on her arms and smiled at him, "I'll sort those things into categories later, and take away what I can, and send what I can't take to Changping Alley. Give it to Uncle Luo and the others."
Meng Yuan nodded, turned around, handed the peeled mango to her mouth, and said warmly: "Eat first, and it won't be too late to send it to you after you have eaten."
However, before they could go out to deliver things, Uncle Zhang and several people from Changping Lane came over first, bringing eggs, pickles, small clothes, small shoes and other items. They were not valuable, but they were full of thoughtfulness.
Shen Qingqing was not polite to them. She accepted everything according to the order and asked them to take away the things they wanted to give away.
Early the next morning, the family of three officially set off back to Ningyang County.
Shen Changyuan did not go to say goodbye, only Granny Hua came, and she was still holding the box containing the jewelry in her hand.
"Chang Yuan was tired yesterday and is still sleeping now. I saw that she was sleeping soundly so I didn't wake her up. Don't be angry."
Shen Qingqing smiled, "Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? Do I seem to be such a stingy person?"
"Just don't be angry." Granny Hua smiled and pushed the box into her hand, "This is the jewelry we have accumulated over the years. We won't use it when we get older. You can just wear it."
Shen Qingqing subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she held her arm firmly, "Take it, if you feel embarrassed, come to Xiangcheng to see us more often when you have time. Chang Yuan... it's not easy for her."
"In the first two years when I first met her, she was like a wooden person. She couldn't cry or laugh. She spoke and acted slowly, which made people anxious."
"It was only later that she gradually got better and became more like a human being. But I knew that her smiles were not sincere. They were just pretending to be afraid that I would be sad."
Granny Hua's voice was filled with a gentleness that was inconsistent with usual: "Only when she is with you, she is truly happy. When she smiles, her eyes will shine with such happiness. So, please remember to come and see her more often, thank you." Already."
"Grandma Hua, you don't understand me at all."
Shen Qingqing corrected her: "From the moment I called her mother, it meant that I treated her as one of my own relatives. Isn't it normal for relatives to care about each other and visit each other? Saying thank you would be disrespectful. .”
With that said, she turned around and handed the box to Meng Yuan, took out two sachets from her sleeve pocket, and handed them to Granny Hua, "This is a gift I prepared for you and my mother. There is a peace charm inside. Remember to wear it close to your body." good."
Grandma Hua held two sachets, took a deep breath, her nose was slightly sore, "My child, take care on the road."
"You and mother should also take care of your health. Next time we meet, our family may be able to be together forever."
Granny Hua didn't say anything, but smiled and waved her hand.
Over there, Mrs. Ning carried Meng Qixue into the carriage, then turned around and hugged Shen Qingqing, "Xue Bao will be taken care of by you. When Xingtang and I finish our work here, we will go to Ningyang County to find you. Don't bother me."
Shen Qingqing said with a smile: "It's not annoying, but remember to bring me some fruits when you come here, preferably the ones you can't buy in Ningyang County."
Mrs. Ning smiled happily and said, "It's as simple as this. I'll pull two cars over for you when the time comes, so you can have a great time!"
"No!" Shen Qingqing raised her hands in surrender, "Just enough to eat, don't learn from my mother, she is a nouveau riche and should be condemned."
Ning Shi blinked mischievously, "I remember what you said. I'll go back and complain to your mother."
"Xue Bao, look at your mother!" Shen Qingqing put her hands on her hips and turned around to complain to Meng Qixue.
Meng Qixue looked at her mother on the left, then at her mother on the right, rolled her eyes, fell straight back, and shouted: "Ah, I'm dead."
Shen Qingqing chuckled, and Ning, who was opposite, also laughed so hard that tears came to her eyes, "Okay, I won't delay you guys on your way. If I have any questions, I'll write to you."
Shen Qingqing waved her hand, got on her horse, and said loudly: "Don't send me off, go back, the sun is too bright outside."
Looking back, it was still the first month of the year when we set out, the weather was cold, the willow trees on the roadside had not sprouted any buds, and it was too cold even under a thick blanket.
It was already summer when we returned. Even wearing single clothes would make me sweat. Time flies so fast.
Shen Qingqing looked at the colorful wild flowers outside the window and sighed: "A few months have passed in the blink of an eye, and I don't know how my family is doing."
*
Stone Town.
There was a long queue in front of the fortune-telling stall on the street. A group of people were quarreling over the number of fortune tellers, and some even started fighting.
When Meng Qiyun heard the noise, he shook the non-existent pleats on his little flower gown, and stood up with his hands on his hips, "What about you, the one in front of you, why are you lining up to fight?"
The stooped old man pointed angrily at another wealthy young man in silk and satin and said, "He jumped in line!"
The Young Master raised his chin and said with pride, "Who jumped in line? Do you have any evidence?"
Meng Qiyun didn't talk nonsense to him at all. He pointed to the open space next to him and said coldly: "Get out! I don't tell fortunes for people who don't follow the rules."
"What are you dragging about, you stinky fortune teller? I won't leave today, young master, what can you do?"
Meng Qiyun turned around with a dark face and winked at the two little fat guys guarding the stall, "Big Fatty, Second Fatty, beat him up!"
"Okay!" The two little ghosts grinned excitedly, revealing two big gold teeth.
The two ghosts moved forward quickly, one to the left and the other to the right. One kicked his left leg and the other kicked his right leg. They kicked the young man to his knees with two bangs, and then punched him twice, causing him to collapse on the ground and scream.
Meng Qiyun walked up to him calmly with his arms crossed, straightened his chest and said with a proud look on his face: "You dare to cause trouble in my territory, don't you want to live anymore?"
The young master was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Great Immortal, aunt, I know I was wrong, please spare my life, wuwu..."
Meng Qiyun saw the slugs flowing to his mouth, and raised his eyebrows in disgust, "It's disgusting that you are such an adult and still have a runny nose. Big Fatty, Fatty, throw him aside and away from him."
The fat kid rolled up his sleeves and ran to carry someone else.
After dealing with the troublemaker, Meng Qiyun shook his little flower gown and waved to everyone. Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Okay, continue to line up."
"Wait a minute." Yuan Xudong stepped forward, grabbed the little knot on her head, and said with a smile: "Can you help Uncle Yuan do your fortune telling first?"
Meng Qiyun pushed his arm away, turned around and sat on the bench, crossed his legs and said, "Okay, two hundred taels of silver per hexagram."
Yuan Xudong: "?"
"It's twenty taels of silver per hexagram to others, but how come it's ten times as much when it comes to me?"
Meng Qiyun raised his eyelids and said, "Who made you rich?" This chapter has been completed!
