Chapter 558: Chapter 558: Quite Considerate

With a grin, “So, had enough of the greasy food?”

He always knew their family was well-off. Ever since his wife started working at Huamei Mall, Li Wei understood even more what kind of wife Qin Yang had married.

Back when Qin Yang rode that big motorcycle in the Northwest, a few of them joked about how most men earn money to support their families, but Qin Yang seemed to be relying on his wife for support.

Looking at it now, it’s more than that.

Qin Yang adjusted his scarf, “My wife can’t stand the smell of meat right now.”

Li Wei nodded, “I get it. When my wife was pregnant, she couldn’t stand even the smell of oil, let alone greasy food. She’d often run outside to vomit while cooking.”

Qin Yang looked at him with an expression that screamed “are you an idiot?”.

Li Wei was slightly taken aback, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Qin Yang let out a light scoff, “Cooking while throwing up?”

Oh, that.

“I didn’t want it either. I suggested bringing my mom over, but she insisted she didn’t need it. Anyway, even if my wife vomited next to me, I wouldn’t find her dirty.”

“You’ve got quite a good heart,” Qin Yang responded nonchalantly.

Li Wei chuckled, “Well, she is my wife. Wait for a moment, let me put back the oil, and I have something to discuss with you.”

Qin Yang originally planned to leave after his last comment, but hearing this, he waited a bit longer.

Li Wei returned quickly, “How’s your wife? I heard she fell the day before yesterday.”

“She’s fine!”

Li Wei nodded, “Yesterday, Engineer Feng asked me to organize this year’s engineering tasks and some technical materials for him in the next few days. I see you guys are quite busy towards the end of the year. I heard the leadership really values your batch of new cadres, hoping with you leading the way next year, you can significantly improve performance. Vice Minister Yu is set to retire next year, and his position is quite sought after.”

Qin Yang responded casually, seeing the office building entrance ahead, the two changed the topic.

Entering the office building, they parted ways.

As if by coincidence, just as Qin Yang reached the second floor, he ran into Da Jun coming up from the other staircase.

The other nodded at him, “Morning, Mr. Qin.”

“Morning!”

Qin Yang glanced to the side as he opened his office, seeing Da Jun carrying materials into Minister Wei’s office.

He calmly withdrew his gaze and pushed his way into his office.

……

Lin Chuxia occasionally had morning sickness, making Qin Yang even more attentive, though Lin Chuxia felt it wasn’t too bad. Other than feeling a bit gaggy while brushing her teeth in the morning, she was okay most of the time.

Additionally, with Qin Han’s brother’s second batch of strawberries coming in, the addition of strawberries made her discomfort negligible.

Qin Han’s second batch of strawberries was noticeably larger than the first, with a vastly improved taste.

It’s said that after Technician He from the capital heard about it, he became very interested in Qin Han’s greenhouse strawberries and brought a colleague over to guide for a few days.

Not only that, but he also provided Qin Han with a sales route, directly supplying the strawberries to the capital, with prices doubling from the previous batch.

In the first batch, prices gradually rose as sales channels opened up.

Even by the end, they only sold for one yuan per pound.

This batch of strawberries started at one and a half yuan per pound, going up to two yuan, and even then, demand exceeded supply.

Also, Qin Liang’s brother’s watermelons also benefited from this sales route, fetching a good price.

………

Before anyone knew it, New Year’s Day had arrived. Qin Yang and his group got a one-day break, taking Lin Chuxia and Old Sir He to the village to celebrate the holiday.

Jia Liang was envious when he heard they were returning to the village.

Last time, under Lin Chuxia’s request, he took Lin Jiadong back to school, and after dealing with Lin Jiadong’s matters, he visited the Qin Family.

On the surface, he was there to get strawberries from Qin Han, but who would bring large and small gift bags just to get strawberries?

Besides, Qin Han was right at the village’s farm supply store, Jia Liang directly inquired and went to the Qin Family.

If Mrs. Qin hadn’t known about Jia Liang and Qin Juan before, she might have thought this big guy was a bit slow.

Mrs. Qin also talked to Mr. Qin about Qin Juan’s matter when she returned that day.

Mr. Qin didn’t have as many concerns as Mrs. Qin; he mostly trusted Lin Chuxia.

In his eyes, as long as his daughter was willing and the person treated her well, it was enough. Appearance and family background were secondary compared to how much someone truly cared for his daughter.

From their current perspective, the Zhang Family had decent conditions, being true city folk, and Zhang Wenbin had an enviable job, but in the end?

They relied on their city identity to look down on the Qin Family and Qin Juan, treating her terribly.

So when Mr. Qin saw Jia Liang, he was quite pleased with the young man.

The combination of humility and a bit of nervousness was vastly different from the confident Qin’s Restaurant manager he’d heard about from his son.

What does this indicate?

It only shows how much he likes Qin Juan, to the point of caring about his impression in front of her parents.

Moreover, this was the person chosen by their younger daughter-in-law; he had no reason to feel uneasy.

As a result, Jia Liang received special treatment during his first visit to the Qin Family house.

This kind of treatment was something he’d never experienced in his thirty-some years of life.

His father died early, and his mother, raising him alone, ended up with a strained relationship with their relatives, making the neighbors look down on them.

In school, his grades were poor. Always skipping class and fighting, even when he visited friends, their parents would make snide remarks in his presence.

Later, as he entered society, although he was the big brother among his peers, in front of their families, he was seen as the one corrupting them.

Forget special treatment; it was enough they didn’t chase him away with sticks.

The gentle treatment Jia Liang cherished came from his mother, his later colleagues, and after that, Qin Juan.

The feeling he got from Qin Juan’s parents was different.

It was the care of elders for the younger generation.

He really liked that feeling, wanted to become part of the Qin Family, even if it just meant visiting more and being more present in front of the old couple.

Of course, he could only think about it for now as Qin’s Restaurant couldn’t spare anyone.

But Jia Liang wasn’t anxious. Once Qin’s Restaurant closed for the holiday, he’d go to the Qin Family to propose, and Qin Juan had already agreed.

Lin Chuxia, Qin Yang, and Old Sir He went straight to the Qin Family, and spent a lively and warm New Year’s Day there.

In the afternoon, Su Wensong, who heard Old Sir He was back, also came over.

During the time Old Sir He was away, Su Wensong would walk around Old Sir He’s house every day.

In this period, Old Sir He’s second daughter had visited several times, but his eldest daughter was nowhere to be seen.

He Caixia was caught by Su Wensong pacing in front of Old Sir He’s gate twice, leading him to keep an extra eye out.

As a result, he caught her red-handed when she climbed over the wall to enter.

Not only did Su Wensong come by himself, he also brought Sun Hao along.
