Chapter 74 Giving Mung Bean Soup
Shi Qingqian looked at Xu Huaiguo and nodded slightly, "Come in."
Xu Huaiguo followed Shi Qingqian into the yard, looking a little embarrassed. "The food you provided me last time was a huge help. I wanted to pay you back sooner, but I have so much to do at home."
Shi Qingqian waved her hand, "Don't worry."
"This is the money from last time I bought food," Xu Huaian handed her a handful of loose change.
Shi Qingqian counted and found that there were more than ten yuan left.
"Why is there extra money?"
Xu Huaiguo said: "I...I want to buy some more from you."
Shi Qingqian raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at him and asked, "Are you sure you want to buy some more food? This is quite dangerous. Are you sure you want to continue?"
Now Li Yue's condition has improved significantly, and she thought Xu Huaiguo would not take any more risks.
Unexpectedly, Xu Huaiguo nodded with certainty: "I will do it!"
Shi Qingqian stared at Xu Huaiguo's determined eyes, and her heart moved slightly.
She could understand Xu Huaiguo's eagerness and determination. After all, the pressure of life often forces people to make difficult choices.
"Think carefully, once you are discovered, the consequences could be serious," Shi Qingqian reminded again.
Xu Huaiguo answered without hesitation: "I know, but I have no other choice. I really need more money now."
Shi Qingqian was silent for a moment, then said: "Okay, since you have decided, I can help you."
Shi Qingqian walked into the room, wrote a note and handed it to Xu Huaiguo.
"Take this and go to the black market to find the boss there, Chen Guiwu. You'll just follow him from now on. As long as you do a good job, he won't treat you unfairly."
"Thank you very much. I will do my best."
Xu Huaiguo took the note, his eyes full of gratitude. Working with the black market boss would be much better than working alone, and he could also earn more.
Shi Qingqian nodded slightly, "Remember, you must be careful and not expose yourself. If you are exposed, you must put yourself first in everything."
Xu Huaiguo agreed solemnly, then turned and left the yard, quietly walking towards the black market.
……
A few days later, as summer approached, the weather became hotter and hotter.
Shi Qingqian is most afraid of heat, but there is only one electric fan at home, which is not enough to relieve the heat.
Fortunately, she had an excuse to recuperate, so she didn't have to go to collect grass for pigs, otherwise she would have suffered from heatstroke.
Shi Qingqian stays in the space most of the time.
The temperature in the space is constant, so it won't be hot.
After staying in the cool space for a while, Shi Qingqian suddenly thought of the Xu family.
In such hot weather, the Xu family members are still working hard in the fields, and as a daughter-in-law, she still has to do something.
Shi Qingqian took action immediately and cooked a large pot of mung bean soup.
First take out the mung beans, wash them, soak them in boiling water for half an hour, put them in a pot, add water and boil them, then add lemon juice and rock sugar.
Once cooked, place in the freezer to cool quickly.
After Shi Qingqian stayed in the space for half an hour, the mung bean soup was almost cold when she came out.
Because there was so much mung bean soup that the kettle couldn't hold it all, Shi Qingqian simply poured the mung bean soup directly into the thermos.
She carried a kettle and walked out of the house under the scorching sun.
Along the way, the heat waves made her a little breathless.
When she finally arrived at the field, she saw Xu's father, Xu's mother, Xu Huaiguo, Xu Huaimin, and Zhang Youdi all sweating profusely in the field.
Even my sister-in-law Xu Rong and the children Da Wa, Xiao Fang and Xiao Hui were helping.
Xiaofang was the first to see Shi Qingqian: "Third Aunt!"
When everyone heard Xiaofang's call, they all looked up and saw Shi Qingqian standing there holding a thermos, with a look of surprise on their faces.
Zhang Lanxiang quickly put down the tools in her hands, walked quickly to Shi Qingqian, took the kettle, and her eyes were full of emotion: "Qianqian, it's so hot, why are you here?"
Shi Qingqian smiled and said, "It's such a hot day. Everyone must have worked hard. I made some mung bean soup for everyone to cool down."
Father Xu came over, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Qingqian, you are so thoughtful. It's really hard for you in this hot weather."
Shi Qingqian shook her head: "Mom and Dad, we are one family and we should keep our distance. Let's drink some mung bean soup."
Father Xu also nodded and said, "Okay, everyone take a break and drink some mung bean soup."
The Xu family sat together, and Shi Qingqian poured a bowl of mung bean soup for everyone.
After drinking the cool and sweet mung bean soup, the tiredness on everyone's faces seemed to be alleviated a lot.
Xu Rong smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, this mung bean soup is so delicious and sweet. You are really amazing."
The eldest child also nodded and said, "Aunt San's mung bean soup is the best."
Shi Qingqian felt relieved when she saw everyone was happy.
She learned how to make mung bean soup from a video and she remembered it because it was relatively simple.
After resting for a while, everyone prepared to continue working.
Shi Qingqian said: "Everyone, don't get too tired. It's so hot, please take care of your health."
Zhang Lanxiang held Shi Qingqian's hand and said, "Don't worry, we will be careful. You should go back quickly. Don't stay out in the sun. Be careful of heatstroke."
Shi Qingqian nodded: "Okay, I'll go back first. If you are tired, you can take a rest."
After saying that, Shi Qingqian turned and left.
At this time, there were many people gathered at her door.
It turned out that the postman came to deliver the manuscript fee to Shi Qingqian again.
After Shi Qingqian was reported last time, everyone knew that she was translating foreign words for the bookstore, and they were all curious whether she could really make money by staying at home every day.
So when they saw the postman coming, many people who were resting under the trees followed him to Shi Qingqian's house.
As soon as Shi Qingqian walked to the door of her house, she saw a group of people surrounding the postman and was slightly startled.
She walked forward, and everyone's eyes were instantly focused on her.
"Huaian's wife, I heard that you can earn royalties by translating foreign words for bookstores. How much can you earn?"
Others echoed this, their eyes full of curiosity.
Shi Qingqian pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "It's not a lot, actually. It's just some hard-earned money. It's hard to say exactly how much. It depends on the workload and difficulty of the translation."
They were obviously not satisfied with this answer, and someone asked again: "Then there should be a rough estimate, right?"
"Let's have a rough idea of whether we can earn money by working at home. My daughter is also in junior high school, and I will ask her to translate foreign characters at home when the time comes."
Shi Qingqian smiled helplessly: "There really isn't a fixed number, but translation isn't something that everyone can do. It requires certain knowledge and abilities. Everyone should just do their job well and conscientiously."
At this time, Aunt Yang said sarcastically: "Humph, who knows if your money is clean or not? Maybe you have done something shameful."
Aunt Yang used to have a pretty good relationship with Zhang Lanxiang.
But just because her niece failed to marry Xu Huaian, she unilaterally began to break off relations with the Xu family and said sour words for no reason.
