Chapter 559: Parallels: Cousin
"Xia Yue, I heard you're back?"
Just when Xia Yue was thinking of asking someone to help bring mute wallpaper and ice crystal boxes to her grandparents in the afternoon, she heard a familiar voice.
"Liqiu?" Chen Xiayue looked at the speaker, a young woman about the same age as her. This girl was still relatively thin, probably the kind of physique that is said to be fat and playful.
"Have you lost weight? I remember you gained a little weight before, but are you thinner now? Do you have 90 pounds?" Chen Xiayue asked while looking at Chen Liqiu in front of her.
"I'm thin. I don't want to eat so much, so I lost a little weight. It doesn't matter, I won't be too fat anyway." Chen Liqiu said.
Chen Xiayue: "..."
After growing up, Chen Xiayue, who was the thinnest at 100 jins and the fattest at 110 jins, was envious and jealous. Sure enough, her cousins and cousins are not fat?
"Why are you back?" Chen Xiayue asked.
The girls in the countryside all get married early. Chen Liqiu and Chen Xiayue are only two months apart, and they are both married now.
However, it is not too early to get married at 22, that is, Chen Xiayue went to college and went to live with her mother in Guancheng since she was a teenager. They married at the age of seventeen or eighteen in their village.
"I heard you're back, so I'll come and have a look." Chen Liqiu found a stool and moved it to Chen Xiayue's side, "You're cool here, do you have air conditioning?"
"Air conditioner? How can the air conditioner open the door?" Chen Xiayue said amusingly, "How are you doing recently? Where do you work?"
Chen Xiayue's cousin, Chen Lixia, also went to vocational high school back then, and her job was quite stable later. But my cousin Chen Liqiu was different. Although she also went to a technical secondary school, she did not get a graduation certificate. She also changed her job frequently, doing odd jobs from time to time.
"I'm pregnant, and I haven't gone out to work recently." Chen Liqiu said.
"Pregnant?" Chen Xiayue looked at her slightly bulging belly in surprise. She thought it was her cousin's belly, but she didn't expect that she was pregnant. It's only been more than half a year since she got married.
"It's only been more than three months, and I haven't been pregnant yet." Chen Liqiu said with a smile, although her belly is a little bulging, it is because she has a small belly and is not pregnant.
"Congratulations." Chen Xiayue said.
"Hey, sooner or later." Chen Liqiu said, and then asked Chen Xiayue: "How about you? How can you go back to your hometown and open such a store?"
"You said that if you graduated from a secondary school like us, how could you, a college student, not stay on the mainland but come back to open a store here? Besides, in our small town, how can you make money?" Chen Li Qiu was really puzzled.
Not to mention the high level of consumption in Qiong Province, but in some places there are fewer people, less customer traffic, and a lot of shops, so you can't make much money.
For example, Chen Xiayue's grocery store, which is similar to a grocery store, and a store that is not as good as a small supermarket, is in a town, and there are about ten on a street. Can a store like this make money? Not too many guests.
"I just want to come back and open a shop all of a sudden. I don't know what job I should do in the mainland, and there is no comparable company to hire me." Chen Xiayue said helplessly.
"Although I went to university, the university is not a key university, and my grades in school are not very good. Isn't it a matter of course that I can't find a job after graduation? If I can't live in Guangdong Province, I will go back to Qiong Province. Open a small shop in my hometown to support myself.”
Chen Liqiu said with some envy, "It's not bad, I want a store like this too."
"Old Huang and I are also going to open a small shop, we will open it in the village." Chen Liqiu said, "I can't go out to work when I am pregnant, so it just happens that I open a small shop and just sit and sell things. It just allows me to make money while raising my baby. ."
Chen Xiayue was surprised when she heard this, "Are you planning to open a canteen too? Is that enough money?"
"Enough, we have saved tens of thousands of dollars over the years, just in time to change the house at home, and then buy the goods back." Chen Liqiu said.
Chen Liqiu was not married to the village, not even the county. Chen Liqiu married in the county where her mother's family lived, but not in the same town.
Chen Liqiu didn't know how the village over there was. Chen Xiayue didn't know. When Chen Liqiu got married, she didn't come back, that is to say, the red mobile phone sent a red envelope to congratulate her.
As for her brother-in-law Huang Zhengming's family, she didn't quite know what their village was like.
Chen Liqiu chatted with Chen Xiayue about opening the store for a while, and then said goodbye to Chen Xiayue when Huang Zhengming came to pick her up.
"I'll go back and see my parents and grandparents. Do you have anything for me to bring back?" Chen Liqiu said unceremoniously.
Even though the cousins and sisters seldom get together these years, because Chen Xiayue moved to the mainland and went to school there, they rarely interact, but the relationship is still very good.
Chen Liqiu was not polite to her, and Chen Xiayue was not polite either. She gave her the mute wallpaper and ice crystal box and asked her to help take it back to her grandparents.
"I bought this wallpaper. It is said to be soundproof. I put it in my room and tried it last night. I really can't hear the noise from the outside. You take it back and let your grandparents stick it in their room. If your aunt and watch Sister-in-law can tell me if you need it."
"This is called an ice crystal box. It can be kept cool when placed in the house, just like an air conditioner or a fan." Chen Xiayue handed the ice crystal box in the box to Chen Liqiu and said, "Didn't you just say that my store is cooler? It is the credit of this ice crystal box."
Chen Liqiu looked at the things in front of him, then looked at Chen Xiayue and said, "Then I will take it back and try it out. If my grandparents feel good after using them, I will also ask you for these."
"Okay, I'll buy it for you when the time comes." Chen Xiayue said.
When Chen Liqiu went back, he didn't forget to go to the vegetable market next door to buy vegetables. Chen Xiayue paid for a chicken, Chen Liqiu bought two palm-sized tilapia, and then other vegetables. .
"Come back for dinner tonight." Chen Liqiu said while carrying the vegetables. Of course, all the dishes she was carrying were collected by her husband Huang Zhengming and put in the motorcycle box.
"Okay, I'll close the door and go back to eat in the afternoon, remember to make the dishes delicious." Chen Xiayue said.
"Don't worry, although my cooking skills are not as good as yours, I won't be too bad." Chen Liqiu said proudly, "Even if my sister's cooking skills have improved, mine can't be too bad. "
When Chen Xiayue heard this, she smiled awkwardly. Cousin Chen Lixia's cooking skills were not very good. When cooking before, it was either too salty or too bland. She herself felt that her cooking skills were poor.
But I have to say that my cousin's cooking skills are already very good compared to those kitchen killers who will make the ingredients unpalatable, burn the kitchen, and burn the ingredients.
Chen Liqiu repeatedly told her to come back for dinner at night, and then got on a motorcycle and went home with her husband.
