Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"Dad, is that the guy that mom is looking for my sister? This is the first time we meet, and he's so unreserved. No, I have to go down and chase him away now!"

When the eldest brother Shi was about to rush downstairs, his father quickly grabbed his son.

He was not blind, so why should he be reserved? Wasn't it obvious that he was taking advantage of the gay man? If his troublesome son went down and shouted, everyone would see it.

"Take a look first, take a look first. If it's not too much, forget it, so as not to embarrass your sister."

Now that Shi's father had spoken, eldest brother Shi couldn't go downstairs anymore. He could only stare at the two people downstairs. The father and son had the same expression and movements. This time they stood on the balcony and didn't plan to move.

Finally, it was Shi's mother who asked someone to pass her something, but no one responded for a long time. When she came out of the kitchen, she saw the father and son behaving strangely on the balcony. She hurriedly walked up to them and looked downstairs. She found her own good boy at the first sight.

"Hey dear, what are you doing? Come up quickly, dinner will be served soon!"

Shi's mother's voice was extremely loud, which frightened Shi Yan so much that she shivered and shook off Zhou Yu's hand. Then the two of them looked towards Shi's mother upstairs.

"Oh, Xiao Zhou is here too, that's great, come up quickly, come up and taste Auntie's cooking!"

"Will you let me up?"

Zhou Yu looked at Shi Yan who was a little panicked and asked with a smile.

"Go back first, we'll talk about this later!"

Shi Yan kept pushing people out, but what she was thinking about was what she had just done and how much the Shi family had seen.

"Can we meet tomorrow?" Zhou Yu asked.

"I'm going to rest tomorrow."

"Okay, see you at work then."

The brief conversation between the two only lasted a moment, and Zhou Yu did not make things difficult for Shi Yan. After confirming that she could not go upstairs today, he waved in the direction of Shi's mother upstairs, indicating that he would come again next time, and then left. However, Shi Yan had already run into the doorway.

"What's going on with that guy?" Shi's father asked.

"What were you doing downstairs just now?" asked Brother Shi.

"How are you and Xiao Zhou?" asked Shi's mother.

After Shi Yan returned home and sat down at the dining table, no one started eating. Instead, there was a three-person trial.

Shi Yan looked left and right, not knowing whose question to answer first. Finally, it was Shi's mother who slapped the table, signaling the father and son to shut up, and then she looked at Shi Yan again.

"Hey dear, how are you guys doing today? Are you guys getting along?"

"I've already promised Brother Zhou Yu that we should give it a try. We know each other well anyway. We work in the same hospital and he's a nice guy."

Upon hearing that her daughter was in love, Shi's mother clapped her hands happily:

"Okay, okay, I originally thought that even though we are from the same hospital, we might not know each other. Since you two are already familiar with each other, then this is truly fate!"

"I was wondering why the dishes Xiao Zhou ordered for lunch were all your favorites. It turns out that he might have noticed you a long time ago. Even if I don't find someone to match you up, you two might still be a good match!"

Apart from Shi Yan, the person involved, only Shi's mother was happy in the Shi family. Shi's father and eldest brother both had expressions as if they had swallowed a fly. They didn't understand what was going on. Just by looking at each other once, the matter was settled.

"Guai Guai, tell me, are you sure about this? Or you can reconsider it. I was thinking of finding a team leader for you in our team. With someone like Guai Guai, you should be able to find a team leader like me."

"Snapped!"

Just as Brother Shi finished speaking, he was hit on the back of his hand with chopsticks. He turned around and was met with his mother's disapproving expression.

"What are you talking about? He's just a team leader, but you think you're an official. Xiao Zhou is a doctor. I heard that he's very skilled in medicine. He and our little babe share the same interests and can take care of him in the hospital."

"If you can't come home for ten days or half a month like you, then what's the point of dating or getting married!"

Although Brother Shi had no plans to start a family immediately, he was stimulated by what his mother said. He thought that there was no way he couldn't start a family if he was a driver. At worst, he could just find someone with the same interests as him.

"Mom, brother, eat quickly, I've just started, it's too early to talk about getting married!"

"Okay, okay, eat, eat."

Because of Shi's mother's violent suppression, Shi's father and son no longer dared to oppose Shi Yan's relationship.

Shi Yan rested at home for another day and then went back to work as usual.

After they started dating, they said that there was something different from before, but it also seemed the same. They still often worked in the same office, had lunch together, and worked the night shift together at night.

It’s the same, but there are some differences. Zhou Yu obviously smiles a lot more often, and with Shi Yan’s consent, he also starts to pick her up and drop her off at get off work, and they even address her in a more intimate way.

.........

On this day, a person who had not been seen for a long time came to the door. It had been almost a month since the last time he saw Ye Jingnian. He looked more haggard this time. Although he was dressed neatly, his cheeks were obviously sunken. Although his facial features seemed more three-dimensional, he looked very weak, as if he was about to fall down at any time.

When he saw Shi Yan, his eyes were obviously evasive, and there was no such intimacy as last time. He sat down at the consultation seat as soon as he arrived and started talking to himself.

"Doctor Zhou, I'm getting married next month. Do you have any way to help me get back to normal temporarily? Even if it's just for one night like in the past, that would be great."

At this moment, Ye Jingnian no longer had any pride. He found that he was really in bad shape. Even the medicines prescribed before were of no use to him. He even couldn't sleep at night because of business talks, and he lost 10 pounds after going out.

He should have come to the hospital for treatment a long time ago, but the weather was getting hot and he had already pulled the goods back and had to sell them quickly.

After all, apart from giving 10% of the proceeds from the sale of goods to honor Shi's father, the remaining money had to be used to pay the balance to other manufacturers.

He paid deposits to the refrigerator factory, TV factory, and washing machine factory, and asked them to produce the machines first. He could only take the goods back and start selling them after the balance was paid, so he could not delay even a step.

However, he didn't expect that when he just delivered the goods to Brother Hu in the black market, Brother Hu was willing to take the goods, but he was only willing to add 20 yuan to the original price, saying that his mortal enemy in the black market bought the goods at this price, and would only sell them for 120 yuan without an invoice.

All the wealthy people have been outsold by his mortal enemy. If he wants to sell goods, he can only sell them to ordinary people, and the price can only be lower. If the price is low, he has to control costs, otherwise he will not make any money.

But Ye Jingnian bought a total of 500 fans. If he only earned 20 yuan for each fan, he would only earn yuan in total, which was not enough to pay the final payment to the manufacturer, not to mention the filial piety money he had to give to Shi's father.

This was a huge difference from the 120 yuan he had initially set for one unit. Originally, the profit from selling things on the black market was the price difference of industrial coupons. Now that there was someone selling the goods at such a low price, how could he make money? He worked so hard to only make 1 yuan a month. How could he be willing to accept that?

So he relied on his own strength and went door to door to sell the products for half a month, but he only sold 30 units. Although he could make money, the speed was too slow. If he could not pay the balance within a month, his deposit would be gone.

In the end, he could only ask Shi Wanxiu for help, asking her to act coquettishly in front of Shi's father, to see if he could get his father to buy some of the goods in the name of the unit, as unit property, to be placed in the office, and also as a benefit for employees at the end of the year.

In the end, Shi's father agreed to buy 200 units at market price, but the prerequisite was that Ye Jingnian and Shi Wanxiu had to get married.
