Chapter 210 Apology
After having dinner at Shen Qiuqiu's house, Jiang Jincheng and Li Mao were also going back to Yunchuan.
Grandma Shen prepared eggs, bacon and other local specialties for them as usual; the spring bamboo shoots these days are fresh and tender, and the old lady specially packed some for them; as well as the fresh strawberries picked today.
Several foam cartons filled Li Mao's trunk to the brim.
When leaving, Shen Qiuqiu hugged Li Mao and Zhang Meng and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I've been too busy these two days and I didn't entertain you well."
"Tsk, you are so alienated from the two of us." Li Mao smiled and gave her a look, and then said: "We had a lot of fun these two days. We ate delicious farm food and super delicious time-honored restaurants. Braised beef noodles, picked strawberries, and experienced the fun of picking.
Oh my, I had such a fulfilling weekend, if I didn’t have to go back to work, I would have stayed with you forever.”
Zhang Meng also smiled and said: "Every time I come to your house, we have to eat and get food. We are so embarrassed."
Not far away, Jiang Jincheng was also saying goodbye to Grandpa Shen.
Li Mao tugged at the corner of Shen Qiuqiu's clothes, pointed in the direction of Jiang Jincheng, and whispered: "We have nothing to do, but I think you seem to be a bit neglectful of your boyfriend.
I heard from someone in the secretarial office that the big boss has been working overtime until very late every day recently. There are no important projects in the company recently. I guess the big boss will work overtime, probably to finish the work and free up time on weekends to see you.
As a result, he comes all the way here, and you are as busy as a spinning top all day long, and you don’t even bother to take some time to be alone with him and keep him company."
Speaking of this, Li Mao suddenly laughed, "You know? This morning I saw the big boss wearing a straw hat, rolling up his trousers and following grandpa to work in the fields. My eyes almost dropped to the ground.
If I weren't afraid that the big boss would deduct his year-end bonus, I would secretly take a photo of him and send it to the company group so that my colleagues can admire the big boss's peasant demeanor.
You tell me, a nice and overbearing CEO, an elite person, his demeanor changes suddenly when he comes to you."
After imagining that scene, Shen Qiuqiu couldn't help but laugh.
Li Mao crooked her with his elbow and reminded her seriously: "I'm telling you, don't just rely on your good looks and people liking you to do whatever you want.
Relationships require two people to work together to manage and maintain them; if you take the initiative for a long time, everyone will get tired. If only one person pays blindly, the relationship is destined to not last long.
You should also take the initiative, communicate more, and accompany you more often. Your boyfriend also needs coaxing."
"Hmm..." Shen Qiuqiu nodded blankly.
After Li Mao reminded her, she suddenly realized that in this relationship, it was Jiang Jincheng who had been giving the most. She rarely took the initiative and did nothing for him.
Suddenly, I felt a little guilty in my heart.
Zhang Meng put his arm around Shen Qiuqiu's shoulders and put forward different opinions.
"You two are in the early stages of your relationship. The man should be more proactive, and the girl should be more reserved, so that he will cherish you."
The two love teachers each had their own opinions and took Shen Qiuqiu to teach them, and then went to say goodbye to Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen.
Shen Qiuqiu corrects his mistakes when he realizes them.
She silently walked to Jiang Jincheng and apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I've been too busy these two days and ignored you."
Jiang Jincheng smiled and whispered back to her, "No need to apologize. The proprietress has opened a new store. I can understand it."
Shen Qiuqiu blushed suddenly, thought for a moment and then said: "Your health is important, you should work less overtime in the future; you don't have to come to see me every weekend... I will go to Yunchuan to see you after this busy period."
Jiang Jincheng was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
He nodded, smiled and said yes.
Song Na and Shen Jiashu were going to school, and they happened to take Jiang Jincheng's car to go together.
After seeing them off, the small courtyard suddenly became deserted.
The dishes and chopsticks have been cleared away, and the chickens and ducks in the bamboo forest have been fed. Grandma Shen is still a little unaccustomed to the sudden leisure.
It was still dark, so the old lady grabbed some bamboo strips and sat in the yard to weave a small bamboo basket.
The picking baskets used in the strawberry garden are all plastic picking baskets wholesaled from Taobao. They are not expensive and of average quality.
Grandma Shen made a batch of small bamboo baskets according to their appearance and size, and sold them in the strawberry garden for ten yuan each, which was quite popular.
So now the old lady likes to make small bamboo baskets when she has nothing to do.
This thing is small and doesn't take much time to make. You can make it in about ten minutes.
When Shen Qiuqiu saw it, he also brought some bamboo strips and knitted them accordingly.
I haven’t knitted for a long time, and my hands are raw.
Shen Xiu came out of the hall with a bottle of drink, smiled and said to Grandma Shen: "Mom, I heard that Li Laogen's sow has given birth to piglets. Let's go back and catch a few piglets to raise.
The pigweed on the mountain has become so fat these days that it makes my hands itch. Every time I go to the mountain and see it, I want to take a few baskets back."
It’s another new year, and we have to raise piglets at home, otherwise there will be no pork to eat at the end of the year.
"You have to tell me, I have already made an agreement with Li Laogen's wife, asking her to keep four piglets for me. When the piglets are weaned, I will catch them and raise them. You will be busy then." Grandma Shen responded with a smile.
Shen Qiuqiu listened for a while and couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, why do you need to raise so many?"
In previous years, my family would only raise two pigs. At the end of the year, we would kill one and sell the other.
Although there are now two more people in the family, two pigs are enough to eat.
Grandma Shen glanced at her granddaughter and smiled meaningfully, "Hey, not much. Eat two ends for the New Year, and save the other two ends for entertaining guests when you get married."
Shen Qiuqiu, "..."
There's no need to be in such a hurry.
Shen Xiu on the side covered her mouth and laughed, and also joked, "Xiaohua is getting married, our family must have a big event, I'm afraid just killing two pigs is not enough!"
Grandma Shen laughed so hard that she followed her words and said: "My little girl must do it in a glorious way when she gets married. If not, we can just catch six piglets and raise them back, or we can buy a cow and slaughter it when the time comes."
"Grandma, I'll go over to the farmhouse and have a look."
The two people talked more and more outrageously. Shen Qiuqiu felt that this topic could not be continued, so she quickly found an excuse and ran away.
…
At this time, the lights of [Qinghe Farm] have been turned on and it is bustling.
All twelve private rooms were full, and two tables were set up in the courtyard.
Grandma Chen has been here to help today, and Chen Jing will come over later. Otherwise, Li Datou's family of three would not be able to do it at all.
