Eating melons and raising children in the period literature

Yang Qingqing turned around and saw that it was Aunt Fu Jiang waving at her, so she had no choice but to say to Wen Jing and Wen Xuan

"Wenjing, you take Yinping, Yanqin and the others back to our house first. I'll be back in a while."

Then he walked towards Aunt Tomie, "Aunt Tomie, what's up?"

"Oh, nothing. We were just talking about the last time you helped bring some vanishing cream, and then we saw you, so we asked you to have a chat." Aunt Fu Jiang took Yang Qingqing and introduced them to her one by one. "These are all people from the village. They are all related to the Ma family. You should get to know them all, so that you won't forget who they are when you meet them in the future."

Yang Qingqing had no choice but to greet him, but she was thinking, "I just didn't want to meet her, so I thought I'd go home later. I didn't expect that I could hide from my second sister-in-law but not from you. Let's end it quickly. My face is almost frozen."

"Let me tell you, Qingqing is very capable. She just came here and she started working at the county supply and marketing cooperative. She is a very capable person." Aunt Fujiang pulled Yang Qingqing and started praising and bragging about her in various ways.

Yang Qingqing wanted to find a hole to hide in. The key point was that she spoke very fast, and Yang Qingqing couldn't get a word in when she tried to explain.

"Really? So amazing."

"So amazing, and good looking, really good"

...

"Okay, okay, Aunt Tomie, I'm not as powerful as you say. I'm just a shift supervisor, not a formal employee, really." Yang Qingqing could only try her best to explain

"Hey! Don't be modest, we all know it. I heard that you helped bring things from the county town to Tomie's wife. Is that right?" One of the women, who was not much older than Aunt Tomie, a little thin but very tall, estimated to be 1.7 meters tall, said

"That's right! This is your sister-in-law Meiqian. I just told you about it, but I don't know if you remembered it! Qingqing is kind and righteous. She helped me. It's exactly the same as the one I bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. There is no problem at all." Aunt Fujiang thought about how her daughter liked it now and felt that she had found the right person. "Our daughter likes it very much."

"Really? There are not many things in our village supply and marketing cooperative. It's not easy to go to the county town. Not to mention the fare, it's not cost-effective to take the time!" Meiqian echoed, "Some time ago, I wanted to buy a piece of cloth for my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law was about to give birth, but the supply and marketing cooperative in our village only had coarse cloth, not fine cotton cloth. Later, I spent a day to go to the county town to buy it. Not only did I spend more money on travel expenses, but it also delayed my earning work points. Qingqing, if we need you to help carry things in the future, can you help?"

Yang Qingqing thought about it and decided that although it would be very tiring, there was still room for maneuver. The money and tickets she brought for Auntie Ma last time were still in her space. If she brought them for the villagers, it shouldn't be considered speculation.

"If I can help, I will. But I don't know if it would be considered profiteering if I bring something back? Sister-in-law, do you know?"

"I know, my mother's family often asks someone to go to the county to buy things for everyone in order to save money on travel expenses. How can this be considered speculation? Don't worry, we won't let you down, we can give you the travel expenses."

"No, if it's okay, I'd be happy to help." Yang Qingqing quickly refused the offer of travel expenses, fearing that someone would gossip about her.

"Oh! It's nothing. If you help, we can discuss the travel expenses. The most important thing is that you work in the supply and marketing cooperative, you know what's there, you won't miss it like us, this is the most important thing." said another aunt.

"That's right! The most frightening thing is that when we get there, the salesperson says the item is out of stock and it will be available in a few days, but we don't know the exact time. We would be so happy if you could help us." The others echoed

"It's not"

"That's right, we're glad you could help us."

"That's right, everyone should thank you."

"It's okay. If you want to buy anything, you can tell me. I can help ask when I get there. If you are sure you want to buy it, I can also bring it back for you. But I think we should make it clear first. It's best if you know the price of the things you want to buy. I will definitely not charge more, but I am afraid of trouble. It's best if you know how much it is so that I can help you bring it back." Yang Qingqing thought that the money issue must be clarified, otherwise it would be a troublesome matter. Not only would she not be able to get familiar with the villagers, but she would also cause conflicts, which would not be worth the loss.

"That's not possible. Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. Thank you in advance." Sister Meiqian thought that she could buy things from the county supply and marketing cooperative without paying for transportation, and the price would be the same. It would be much more convenient than before, and it would save money and time. It was really cost-effective.

Others too

"Don't worry, I can't cheat you."

"We are all from the same village, that's not possible"

“That would be great”

Everyone felt that they had taken advantage of the situation, and they couldn't help but be more friendly when talking to Yang Qingqing.

"Okay, if you want to buy anything, you can come to my house in the afternoon when you are free and tell me. I can help you see if I have it when I go to work tomorrow. If I do, I can help you bring it back." Yang Qingqing thought about this matter and she thought it would be more reliable to ask Aunt Ma and Uncle first. She would just fool around for now.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. My second sister-in-law will come to see me soon." Then he walked out the door.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw Ma Da Niang and Ma Liyue with two middle-aged men, a man and a woman, and three children. The two women and one man walked over here.

She was thinking that she couldn't see me, couldn't see me, and the result was that she put oil on her feet

"Qingqing, come quickly. Let me introduce you. This is my second son's family. Ma Changpo, Xu Jitao, and their three children, the eldest Ma Jianping, the second Yinfen, and the third Yinhua." Zhao Xiaohua took Yinhua to introduce them to Yang Qingqing one by one.

"Hello, you can just call me second brother, just like Li Yue. Don't be restrained." Ma Changpo was pushing a bicycle with a quilt on it. It looked newly made and very thick. Yinfen was sitting on the front beam.

"That's right, you can just call me Second Sister-in-law. This is for you." Xu Jitao smiled and looked like a smart and capable woman. She was also pushing a bicycle with a bag on it. I don't know what was in it.

"Hello, second brother, second sister-in-law, my name is Yang Qingqing, you can come to my house when you have time." Yang Qingqing didn't know what to say, she could only dryly welcome them to her house.

"Call someone quickly! Why don't you guys say anything? Don't you know how to call someone?" Ma Changpo looked at the three children who were silent and couldn't help but scold them.

"Brother, they don't know me, so they definitely don't know my name. You can call me Aunt Qingqing or Aunt Yang." Yang Qingqing helped speak.

"Hello Aunt Yang"

"Hello Aunt Yang"

"Hello, Aunt Qingqing"

Several children greeted me but their faces were not very good and they looked reluctant.

Yang Qingqing didn't say anything.
