This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chapter 179 Ji Xue intends to let Chen Jiaxing go to the transport team

Ji Xue walked in holding Chen Jiahe's hand. Seeing Chen Shuning sitting in the yard reading a book, she complained, "Shuning, why are you back so early?

I looked around but couldn't find you. I was so worried! It was Jiahe who said he saw you come back.

Chen Shuning put the book down and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I saw you were so engrossed in reading that I didn't tell you. I don't like watching TV shows. I'd rather read more books with that time~"

Chen Jiahe let go of Ji Xue's hand and said with a grin, "I also saw Brother Junshan running back. Sister, did you two agree on this?"

Chen Shuning glanced at Guo Junshan and said to Chen Jiahe with a stern face, "Jiahe, don't say such things!"

"Hehe..." Chen Jiahe bared his teeth and said, "Don't worry, sister, I definitely won't tell anyone about it. Sister, what book are you reading?"

Chen Shuning closed the book and picked it up to show Chen Jiahe.

Chen Jiahe scratched his head and said with a bitter face: "Sister, I don't understand..."

Guo Junshan stood up and took a book from Chen Jiawang's desk. He brought it to the door and said to Chen Jiahe, "Jiahe, come here. I have a storybook here. I'll read it to you."

Chen Jiahe ran over and asked expectantly, "Brother Junshan, what book is this?"

"It's a book written by a revolutionary forefather." Guo Junshan sat on a bench, opened the book and said, "It tells the story of the Long March..."

Chen Jiahe clapped his hands and said, "That's great! I love hearing stories about the Long March."

Seeing that Chen Jiahe and Guo Junshan were having a good time, Ji Xue pulled Chen Shuning into the house and said, "Shuning, try on the shoes I bought first to see if they fit your feet."

Ji Xue took out a pair of leather shoes from her schoolbag and placed them in front of Chen Shuning. She smiled and said, "Try them on. Our feet are about the same size. I bought them as a trial. See if you can wear them..."

Chen Shuning put on his leather shoes and stepped carefully on his old shoes.

Seeing her being so careful, Ji Xue felt a pang in her heart and said, "Shuning, take a few steps and see. Don't be afraid of getting your shoes dirty. Shoes are meant to be worn when you buy them."

Chen Shuning smiled sweetly, took two cautious steps, and then said, "Sister-in-law, these shoes fit you well. I'm sorry for the expense. Thank you~"

Ji Xue smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite to me. I treat you as my own sister. Besides, these shoes are really not expensive!"

"Sister-in-law, you still have a lot of debts with my eldest brother, right? If you ask me, please don't buy anything for me in the future. We don't lack anything at home..."

"Don't worry about the external accounts." Ji Xue whispered, "Your eldest brother asked the people from their factory's transportation team to bring back a few radios from the south. I sold them and made a profit~"

How long would it take to pay off the foreign debt if we relied on our wages? Chen Jiaxing and Ji Xue were smart and brought back a few radios. They didn't need tickets, so the price was cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative, and they made a lot of money by reselling them.

Chen Shuning's eyes widened as he asked, "Sister-in-law, is this possible? Won't the Industry and Commerce Bureau investigate?"

"Don't worry, there are many people doing this in the city now." Ji Xue explained in a low voice: "I told your eldest brother about it because I saw others doing it.

Besides, we're not greedy, so we bought a few. I'm planning to have your eldest brother learn to drive and transfer him to the transport team, which will be more convenient..."

The bold die of overeating, the timid die of starvation. Ji Xue was neither too bold nor too timid. She didn't ask for much, just to pay off her foreign debts as soon as possible.

Chen Shuning said worriedly: "Then you must be careful and don't let anyone find out!"

Ji Xue said confidently, "Don't worry, it's okay. By the way, the girls in our unit all liked the shirt you made for me last time. They asked me to ask if I could help make it. They pay for the work."

"Yes! Wang Na and the others make money from this~" Chen Shuning said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, the way they make clothes is different from the tailors outside.

This dress looks great when worn, and it makes you look energetic! Have you measured the size? What kind of fabric is it made of?

Seeing Chen Shuning so anxious, Ji Xue smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious? They just asked me to come over and ask. If you do it, how much will it cost for the labor?"

Chen Shuning smiled shyly. She was indeed a little anxious, mainly because she wanted Wang Na and the others to earn more money.

"I'll ask Wang Na and the others later. If we want to make it, it would be best to buy the fabric and bring it to them. Just tell them the measurements and they can make it.

They don't want the leftover fabric from making clothes, so they can take it away with the clothes. They say that this way, customers feel more at ease."

Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi were smart. They knew that people like to take advantage of small things and were afraid that others would take advantage of them, so they came up with this trick.

They don't cut corners when making clothes, nor do they withhold fabric from customers. If the clothes are taken apart, they can match them with the remaining fabric.

Ji Xue nodded and said, "Okay, you can ask for me later."

Chen Jiahe knocked on the door and shouted, "Sister—Brother Junshan asked me to call you out to put up the couplets."

"Got it—" Chen Shuning took Ji Xue's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go and put up the couplets~"

Guo Junshan boiled some hot water, poured half a bowl of white flour into it to make a paste, and waited in the yard with the bowl in hand.

Seeing Chen Shuning come out, Guo Junshan explained, "I said that Jiahe and I could just handle it, but he was too young to be of much help."

Chen Jiahe curled his lips and looked at the bowl in Guo Junshan's hand with regret: "Brother Junshan, you are too extravagant. This is white flour!"

Guo Junshan lowered his head and explained, "It's Chinese New Year now, so it's okay to waste a little. It won't affect our dumplings tonight."

Ji Xue asked, "Officer Guo, what can we do for you?"

Guo Junshan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, please help me make the paste~"

After that, Guo Junshan said to Chen Shuning, "Shuning, give me the couplets that have been pasted with paste. I'll be waiting at the door."

The three people worked together very well, and all the couplets were posted in about twenty minutes.

Chen Shuning stood in the yard and looked around. He smiled and said, "There are a few more couplets in this yard. It's different! It looks festive."

Ji Xue agreed, "Yeah, the New Year atmosphere is instantly apparent. Officer Guo, your handwriting is quite good. Have you practiced?"

Guo Junshan said modestly: "I've practiced for about ten years. I can't say my writing is really good, but it's passable."

"This handwriting is not good? You are too demanding of yourself."

Chen Shuning turned around and saw that it was Chen Aidang who was speaking. He happily went over to greet him, "Uncle San, you're back. Is the show over?"

Chen Aidang said with a smile: "We just came back after the performance. You guys are really quick. You finished pasting the couplets in such a short time. I was thinking of coming back to paste them with you~"

Chen Aidang looked at Guo Junshan and praised him, "Junshan, your handwriting is very good. Don't be so modest all the time."

"Uncle San, you think too highly of me." Guo Junshan said calmly, "My handwriting is passable. It's not great, really..."

"It's already pretty good." Chen Aidang sighed, "How many young people nowadays can write calligraphy? Too few..."

Chen Jiawang came in carrying some meat and asked, "Junshan, how do we prepare this meat?"
