125 Chapter 125: Continue To Display The Hamster’s Characteristic
“You can take it easy on copying books too. There’s no need to work so hard.” Qin Xiaoyao said as she packed up the books.
Song Que raised his head and looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
“If you’re really bored, go sit at the stone table under the shade of the tree in the courtyard. The air outside is good. Breathing in more fresh air will lift your mood,” Qin Xiaoyao was still nagging on and on.
Song Que replied again, “Mm-hmm.”
Qin Xiaoyao finally felt that something was wrong. When she looked at Song Que, her eyes met Song Que’s eyes again.
Her heart started racing. Just as she averted her eyes, she heard Song Que speak.
“The money is still not enough.”
Qin Xiaoyao was caught by surprise.
“We have to buy more lard and refine more oil.”
“Also, buy more meat from Father-in-law and process it into cured meat.”
“And we need to buy all kinds of seasonings. We also need to buy a batch of dried black fungus and soybeans.”
“…”
As she listened to Song Que, Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help but feel dazed.
Not only did she have to stock up on grains and flour, but she also had to stock up on oil, seasonings, meat, dried goods, and even some daily necessities?
Why did she suddenly feel that perhaps her attractive husband was the one who had transmigrated from the apocalyptic world?
This hamster’s characteristic of stocking up on food was way too exaggerated.
“Previously, I saw a small attic above our storeroom. You can put the things you buy into that space in the future,” Song Que continued.
Qin Xiaoyao came back to her senses.
“Er… Hubby, this…” She finally tried to object.
However, before she could finish speaking, her eyes met Song Que’s gaze.
Then, faced with the man’s gaze, she shut her mouth again.
“This matter should be concealed from Mother and the rest as much as possible. It’s good enough that only the two of us know,” Song Que added.
Qin Xiaoyao’s heart started beating wildly.
The same words again!
He must have been very certain that she couldn’t resist his good looks!
It didn’t work! She could not allow this to continue.
“But…” Qin Xiaoyao suppressed the furious thumping in her heart and spoke again.
Unfortunately, she had only uttered a single word before she saw Song Que frown.
Then, she decided to shut up again.
Song Que was in a good mood when he saw Qin Xiaoyao did not approve and was slightly worried.
Finally, Song Que said, “I have my own reasons for doing this. Just trust me.”
Qin Xiaoyao was stunned.
Hearing Song Que’s words, which could barely be considered an explanation, she simply nodded her head.
Forget it. Wasn’t it just storing some food and necessities at home? Anyway, the things could be used after they were bought, and it was not like the money spent was going to waste.
The corners of Song Que’s lips curled up, and a gorgeous smile bloomed on his face, causing Qin Xiaoyao to fall into a daze.
That was until she heard Song Ye’s voice from outside.
“Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! We’re all ready to go to the streets!”
Qin Xiaoyao came to her senses instantly and quickly shifted her gaze away from Song Que’s face.
“Then… then you stay at home. I’ll take my leave first,” she mumbled.
With that, she turned and fled.
Song Que looked at Qin Xiaoyao’s departing silhouette, and the smile on his face grew even wider. He was in an extremely good mood.
Qin Xiaoyao only felt her blushing and racing heart tone down a little after she reached the courtyard and gulped down some fresh air.
“Sister-in-law!” Song Ye ran over to Qin Xiaoyao.
“Let’s go!” As he spoke, he grabbed Qin Xiaoyao’s hand.
Qin Xiaoyao finally regained her composure.
“Yes! Off we go!” She beamed happily at the little child.
Then, together with Song Ye, she made her way toward Madam Liu and the others.
Only then did the whole group leave the house.
The night in the town was not something the countryside could hold a candle to.
Although not every street was brightly lit, the widest and longest streets running in the directions of North, South, East, and West were still bustling with activities even at night.
Not only would the shops on these streets remain open until late, but even the small street stalls would also gather here.
Of course, they sold mainly food and toys.
It was the first time this group of people had come to a night market. Seeing the liveliness on the streets, everyone was downright amazed.
Qin Xiaoyao took out some money to buy everyone a sugar figurine, and they held it as they strolled down the night market.
...
Seeing that Song Ye couldn’t peel his eyes away from the toy stall, she spent some money on Song Ye and Song Yun, buying them a Chinese Rings puzzle each.
She had wanted to buy masks too but was stopped by Madam Liu, who did not allow her to spend money recklessly.
The two children were also sensible and told her that one toy was enough.
After that, they held their Chinese Rings puzzle and followed the adults as they moved forward.
Even though Wang Xiaomei didn’t get a toy, she still got a sugar figurine.
Eating the sugar figurine and walking down the street with the Song family, Wang Xiaomei only felt sweetness seeping into her heart.
Big Brother said he would go to the Qian family to get the money back and then come to the Song family to redeem her.
Was it really possible?
If it were possible, she would return to the Wang family and continue living with her parents…
Thinking of her mother’s attitude towards her and her father’s indifference, she suddenly felt a surge of fear in her heart.
Her mother had been divorced because of her. When she returned, the way she treated Wang Xiaomei would definitely become worse.
...
Her father had never bothered with the family’s affairs, and her Big Brother had to go back to town to work. What should she do then?
Looking at the Song family members laughing happily, Wang Xiaomei’s heart was filled with envy.
Why wasn’t she born into the Song family? It would be great if she were a member of the Song family.
Or else, maybe it might be a good idea too to become a servant in the Song family…
The posse walked and walked until they reached the entrance of Fortune Mansion.
At this moment, Fortune Mansion was brightly lit with lanterns hanging high in the sky. It was the brightest place on the street.
When Madam Liu and the others learned that Qin Xiaoyao was delivering goods to this restaurant, they all looked at Qin Xiaoyao in admiration.
“Let’s come here for a meal when we have some free time in a few days!”
“This is one of the best restaurants in Mountain Spring Town. The food here is unbeatable!” Qin Xiaoyao said with a big smile.
The back kitchen was full of experienced chefs, so the food in the restaurant was naturally excellent. However, the food was too expensive.
Then again, they didn’t come to the restaurant often, so it was still fine for them to try it just once.
Song Ye and Song Yun were very excited.
Madam Liu, however, frowned.
“What’s so good about the food in the restaurant? It’s not a lot, and it’s expensive. The money is all spent on extravagant decoration,” she said disapprovingly.
“With this money, we can go to the market to buy meat and cook ourselves. And the amount can last us for a few meals.”
Song Ye and Song Yun exchanged looks with each other and then nodded their heads.
That was true. With the same amount of money, they could easily eat several good meals. Why should they come here to eat only one meal? It was more cost-effective to buy meat and cook it themselves.
Wang Xiaomei also nodded in agreement with her Old Mistress.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she saw the same expression on all four people’s faces.
“Of course, eating in a restaurant is different from eating at home. Although the price is high, the atmosphere is nice.”
Seeing that the other four didn’t agree, Qin Xiaoyao knew that she couldn’t convince them.
“Forget it then. We’ll come here to celebrate when there’s a happy occasion in our family,” she said after some thought.
Sigh! She was really so blessed and yet so helpless to have such a family that was so thrifty and practical…
“Happy occasion?” Song Ye suddenly asked.
Then, he stared at Qin Xiaoyao’s tummy.
“Hehe! Is Sister-in-law giving birth to a little nephew for me?” He actually opened his mouth and said this.
When he heard Uncle Qin and the others talking about this today, Big Brother couldn’t even answer.
Could it be that Sister-in-law really had a little nephew in her tummy?
