"Haha, yes, we are all boss Qiao. I have to be more polite when talking to you from now on."
Since Sun Huifang made money, she feels refreshed and her words have become playful.
"How are the sales of your hats? They look good at first glance."
"Of course."
Sun Huifang talked about the coupons and asked if she could sell the hats and pay rent. After all, if you put the hats on the counter of a shopping mall, you can sell them at a higher price.
"What's the matter of rent and no rent? If a family doesn't speak the same language, you tell me how to sell it and I'll help you sell it!"
The two women were talking and laughing. Qiao Jinling and Qiao Jinfeng also touched their heads and whispered.
Qiao Jinling likes this sister from the bottom of her heart. She is gentle and intelligent, with clean and clear eyes, as bright and ethereal as autumn water. Such eyes look at you without any harshness, making her look calm and graceful.
Since she was rescued, her temperament has slowly come out, neither impatient nor impatient, neither fast nor slow. It's hard to believe that her mother is a person like He Meiying. Good things come from bad things.
When Sun Huifang planned to go back, Qiao Jinling was reluctant to leave. She twisted her body and acted like a baby, insisting on staying and sleeping with Qiao Jinfeng. Thinking that she would have to come over to open the business tomorrow, Sun Huifang went with her.
In the evening, the rental house seemed lively because of Qiao Jinling. The two sisters got into bed and watched "Imagine the Future" together with their heads next to each other.
"Come on, second aunt will fill you with a hot water bottle and put it under your feet. Don't kick away the towel wrapped on it."
The hot water bottle Qiao Xiangxiu gave is actually a glass bottle left behind from a hanging bottle. Wash it, fill it with hot water, wrap it in a towel, and tuck it under the quilt to keep warm in winter.
"Second aunt, you are so kind."
Qiao Jinling's little mouth looked like it was covered with honey.
"Don't look at it. I turned off the light. I'm afraid I'll end up with four eyes before I go to college."
Qiao Xiangxiu put on his coat and turned off the light without hesitation without listening to the girls' pleas.
"It's okay, Lingling, let's talk under the covers."
"Um!"
Qiao Jinling curled up into a small ball and did not dare to straighten her legs. It was too cold under the quilt. She was short and could not reach the hot water bottle.
"I'll hook up the bottle for you."
Qiao Jinfeng stretched out her foot, flicked it, and the glass bottle came between them.
"Here, hold it and it won't stop being cold."
Qiao Jinfeng spoke softly and her body was so soft that Qiao Jinling couldn't help but stretch out her cold hand and stuff it into her armpit.
"Oh, my little paws are so cold!"
Qiao Jinfeng was angry, but hugged her sister tighter.
"Lingling, you said in "Imagining the Future" that the house will be very warm in the future, even the floor will be hot, hot air will blow from the big machine, and there will be things that will heat up when attached to the body. Is it really so magical?
?”
Qiao Jinfeng's words were full of curiosity.
Qiao Jinling thought to herself: "My silly sister, not only will there be floor heating, air conditioning and a baby heater, the room will be so hot that you can eat popsicles in short sleeves!"
"There will definitely be some, there will be bread, there will be some milk."
What Qiao Jinling said was not a lie. In another thirty years, every household will be able to afford bread, milk, and high-calcium, high-protein foods, and they will be eaten in different ways.
"That's great. I hope that day comes soon."
"Sister, do you want to go to school?"
Qiao Jinling has always wanted to ask, Qiao Jinfeng is already 12 years old, and is only in the third or fourth grade. It is a bit difficult to enter school, and he does not have a household registration. But if he does not go to school now, he will soon be eliminated by society.
"Of course I do. I read in the magazine "Imagine the Future" that doctors will be so powerful in the future that they can take out bad things by just making a small hole in the stomach. How cool is that?"
Qiao Jinling knew that it was minimally invasive surgery. If you want to be a top doctor, you have to be the best among the best.
"Sister, do you want to be a doctor in the future?"
"I just think about it. It feels great to be able to help more people without pain. Just like my second aunt, if she could have children, she wouldn't divorce her second uncle. But I can only think about it."
Qiao Jinling thought to herself: "The reason why Qiao Xiangxiu and Shi Quande parted ways was not because of their children."
"Then think boldly, think hard, and think about it without spending money."
Qiao Jinling couldn't lie still anymore, so she rolled up and lay on the pillow, blinking her big eyes and listening to Qiao Jinfeng's words.
"Be careful of catching a cold!"
Qiao Jinfeng quickly pulled the quilt and covered Qiao Jinling's small shoulders. She had never thought about her future, but now her sister's words made her start to think seriously.
It was late at night, and you could hear Qiao Xiangxiu snoring next door, and you knew she had fallen asleep soundly. The two girls were still chatting. This experience was fresh and interesting.
The next morning, the two of them huddled in bed, refusing to get up. Their eyelids seemed to be stuck together, and they were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes. The warm and comfortable bed stretched out their big hands and hugged them tightly, refusing to let them get up.
"I don't know how late we have been chatting. Everyone is as sleepy as a kitten. That's all. I'll go to the mall first. Jinfeng, please take good care of my sister. There is an aluminum lunch box on the stove with steamed buns in it and some in the pot.
Millet porridge, remember to eat it."
Qiao Xiangxiu nagged while tidying up, pinched the cheeks of the two little girls, and went to the mall counter.
I don't know how long it took before Qiao Jinling woke up from her sleep. A ray of sunlight spilled in through the cracks in the bed curtains, and specks of dust were like mayflies wandering in the sea, rising and falling, left and right.
She was in a trance and had a long dream. The images of her past life and her rebirth overlapped, and she couldn't tell whether she was reborn or had a future dream.
"Lingling, are you awake? It's been a long time since I slept so soundly."
Qiao Jinfeng stretched out and let her black hair rub against the pillow towel. It was rare to see her shy and cute side.
Only then did Qiao Jinling come back to her senses. Whatever it was, living well now was the most important thing.
The two sisters got up and washed themselves, then used the stove to make steamed buns, millet porridge, clear porridge and pickles, which were very delicious.
"Let's go to the mall quickly. I wonder how the sales were on the first day of business?"
Qiao Jinfeng was still a little excited, and the colorful quilt looked festive. Many people must like it.
She held Qiao Jinling's little hand, and when she rushed to the counter, she found Qiao Xiangxiu and Sun Huifang sitting on the bench dejectedly. Not a single bed sheet had been sold, not even a few hats.
"Xiang Xiu, Huifang, I told you that our location is too far away and customers don't turn this way."
The lady at the counter opposite is very understanding and the rent is not free for you.
Qiao Jinling observed it, and sure enough, the customers who came here even came to look at it, let alone buy it. According to the words of the previous life, it was called no traffic, no exposure, and no attention.
Such a "three-no" location still needs to find ways to attract customers.
"Huifang, I'm so sorry. I originally wanted to work together to sell it, but now it's hard to sell your hat because of it."
Qiao Xiangxiu felt a little guilty.
"It's okay. Let's take our time. Didn't we open this morning? If there is one, there will be two. If there are seedlings, don't worry about them growing. Business will get better."
Sun Huifang thought openly. Although she was worried, she couldn't rush this kind of thing.
"Sister Jinfeng, I have a way to help them, but I have to save my face. Do you dare to try it?"
Qiao Jinling rolled her eyes and thought of a good idea, fearing that Qiao Jinfeng would be shy and embarrassed.
"You tell me, as long as I can help my second and third aunts, I will do anything!"
Qiao Jinfeng felt courage rise in her heart. If she can help the people she cares about, what does face mean?
