Chapter 162 - 162

Chapter 162 FanYun Ting didn't stay in Shanghai for long; she bought a train ticket back to Ning City that same day.Yun Huai Yun Xu didn't go back during the summer vacation, otherwise Yun Ting wouldn't have been able to go to Shanghai.Yun Shu is about six months pregnant now, andYun Ting was stunned when she saw her."Sis, your belly... is so big! It looks like you're about to give birth."Yun Shu smiled helplessly, "This time it's twins again.""What? Twins again? Wow, that's amazing!"If it were two daughters, it would be fine, but if it were two boys, her sister would probably want to cry."Sigh, now your brother-in-law keeps saying he really needs a daughter! Otherwise, the family will just be a bunch of brats..."Yun Shu couldn't help but laugh when she thought about the expression on her husband's face."Aren't you working too hard? Why don't we find someone to cover your shifts? We'll feel more at ease if you can rest earlier.""It's okay. I know my own body. If it's too strenuous, I won't push myself. I'm not tired working here.""That's good, sis. I brought back quite a lot this time. Do you want more? There are new patterns now." Yun Ting whispered."Yes, quite a few customers have asked me about it! I'll go over with your brother-in-law tonight and pick it up while we're there.""Okay, then bring your brother-in-law and Childback for dinner tonight!"The four of us came over for dinner tonight. We walked here because I'm pregnant now, and my family won't let us ride bicycles.After dinner, the two sisters went into their room. Yun Shu's eyes lit up when she saw the goods."These colors are even prettier than the last ones, and they're sure to sell out this time too.""Quick, calculate how much it costs, I've brought it all with me.""Sister, no rush, you can take it first, and give it back to me after you sell it.""No, I've prepared everything. I'll give you the exact amount you're owed. Don't shortchange me!""Okay, I'll calculate it for you."Yun Shu happily took the goods home that night."What are you two sisters doing so mysteriously? Don't do anything reckless, your sister is pregnant right now.""Mom, nothing's wrong, don't worry! I didn't do anything reckless."...After staying at home for two days, Yun Tingwent to find Jiang Shaobai.Jiang Shaobai was incredibly excited when he saw her." Sister Qian, you're finally here! Let me tell you something! After listening to your advice last time, I went to the south after the New Year. It's so lively there, with lots of businesses. It's completely different from here. There's even a wholesale market there, and a lot of clothes are incredibly cheap. I can bring them back and resell them for several times the price!""I'm telling you... there's more..."Jiang Shaobai went on and on about his experiences there, and Yun Ting listened without interrupting him."You must have made a lot of money this year, right?""Hehe... Sister Qian, thanks to you, how about I do you the honor of treating you to a big meal today?""Sure! We can talk about dinner later. I have a batch of watches from Shanghai, do you want them?""How much?""This time we got 125 watches and a few radios."She doesn't plan to sell the fans for now; she'll keep a few for home use and also needs some for the Capital City location."Okay, I'll take them all. I'll get the money for you right away."When Yun Ting returned home, no one was home, so she took the opportunity to bring out three fans and a radio.There was also a piece of pork weighing about three pounds. She didn't dare take too much of the rest at once. Even with just that, her mother was already going to scold her.In the evening, Yun Ting prepared dinner while keeping track of the time. It was hot, and her mother Yun had told her at noon that she should have porridge for dinner.She had prepared the sweet potato porridge early in the morning, and she thought it tasted quite good.She made egg pancakes again. She has plenty of eggs in her storage space; she just filled the egg basket in the kitchen today.I made braised pork and stir-fried some water spinach, and that was it.Mother Yun arrived home first, while her sister-in-law went to pick up Little Girl."Bought meat again?""Mom, you've worked so hard, let me make you something nice to eat.""I think you're just craving meat." He turned around with a smile and noticed the fan on the table."This...is an electric fan? Where did it come from?""Mom, I bought it in Shanghai last time. I didn't need a receipt. It just arrived.""Girl, are you crazy? This fan doesn't need a ticket? How much does it cost?!" She reached out and touched the metal mesh of the fan, then quickly pulled her hand back, as if she had touched red-hot iron."Mom, this fan will last for many years! It's a good deal. It's hot, and it'll feel so nice to have it blowing on you. It'll also help me get a good night's sleep. Consider it a gift from your daughter to you."Mother Yun pinched Yun Ting's ear and said, "Daughter, tell me the truth, have you been doing something bad outside? Where did you get so much money? Is it from the black market? You're disobedient, aren't you? I've been telling you not to go, but you still went.""Ouch... Mom, let go, it hurts..."Mother Yun glared at her; she hadn't used any force at all, she was just pretending!"Don't think you can get away with this, hmph...""Mom, I did do it, but only under the premise of ensuring safety. Don't worry, I'm really fine. Look, now that we've started reform and opening up, this trend will soon sweep across the country. By then, who will still consider this speculation?""Sigh... You've always been very opinionated since you were little. It's not that Mom wants to interfere, but Mom is worried. What if... what am I supposed to do then?""I promise, it's okay. I won't go often. I'll graduate early next year and stay at the university as a teacher. Mom, you can come and keep me company when you retire, okay?" Yun Ting tried to distract her mother.Sure enough... Mother Yun's attention was quickly diverted."Really? You can really stay at the school as a teacher? That's wonderful! You're so impressive! Now those gossipy people will stop saying that sending girls to school is useless.""I can smell the aroma of meat! Wow... my aunt must have cooked meat again."Just then, Little Girl's excited voice came from outside the yard.A moment later, the little girl came running in."Auntie, is there meat to eat?"Before Yun Ting could answer, she noticed the fan as well."Oh! What's this?" She reached out to turn on the switch, but Mother Yun quickly stopped her: "Good girl, this is a fan, don't touch it! It's very expensive if it breaks.""Then I won't move." The little girl quickly withdrew her hand."Mom, it's not that exaggerated. It's not tofu. Open it and try it." Yun Ting pressed a button, and with a soft "hum," the fan blades slowly started to turn, causing the edges of the tablecloth to tremble slightly.The little girl went up to the fan and exclaimed, "Wow...it's so cool!"Her hair stood on end in the wind, making her giggle. Mother Yun reached out and felt the wind, the wrinkles on her face slowly smoothing out: "This wind... is much cooler than a palm-leaf fan."Liang Dan also stepped forward to examine the fan with curiosity."Hey little sister, this fan must be expensive, right?""What's not cheap?" Yun Zhao asked casually as he followed Father Yun inside. The father and son were puzzled to see them gathered there."This is… a fan?" Father Yun excitedly stepped forward as well.He then looked at his youngest daughter and said, "You little rascal, you're too bold." There was no reproach in his tone, but his eyes were shining.
