Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

"Is this medicine expensive?" Shen Qiubai asked.

"It's not that it's expensive, it's that you can't buy it even if you have money. When can you introduce me to this Qingqing girl?"

Si Jinyi also wanted to get some big treasures to help him recuperate.

He was a premature baby and had been weak since childhood. Although he is better now, he is still weaker than ordinary people. He estimated that the treasure in this pill should be able to enhance human immunity and is a good medicine for regulating the body.

"I have to ask her first. Once she agrees, I will introduce her to you."

Shen Qiubai didn't agree immediately. He had to ask Qingqing for her consent.

Si Jinyi looked at him with disdain and clicked his tongue a few times, but he didn't say anything. He just asked Shen Qiubai to remember this and not forget it.

"I'm back!"

Si Jinyi yawned loudly. Now that the matter was settled, he went home and went to sleep with peace of mind.

"Do you want to eat this banana?"

Si Jinyi pointed at the bananas on the table and asked. Without waiting for Shen Qiubai to answer, he took them away. He even took away the half bag of marshmallows that Xiaoyu had left.

Shen Qiubai laughed angrily, "Why did you bother to bring a bunch of bananas to see me?"

"I'll eat it, you don't have anything."

Si Jinyi looked very disgusted. As long as he didn't have the surgery, his tooth couldn't stop and he had to eat something. But Shen Qiubai didn't eat anything except three meals a day, so he had to buy food out of his own pocket.

Shen Qiubai looked helpless. The only person who could control Si Xiaohua was Zhou Dao's fiancée Zhu Manlin.

After Zhu Manlin heard that Zhou Dao wanted to marry Si Jinyi when he was a child, she would ask about it every time she saw Si Xiaohua, and she also said: "It's terrible, I immediately pale in comparison to you. Fortunately, you don't like my Zhou Dao, otherwise I can't compete with you!"

Si Jinyi was so angry at the girl's aggressive words that he would declare every time they met that he liked women and had no interest in Zhou Dao. He also asked Zhou Dao to take care of his wife and not harass him with nonsense all day long.

Shen Qiubai smiled and shook his head. He didn't know that he had regained his former vitality. The expression on his face was much more lively, unlike the gloomy and stagnant look two months ago.

Day 50, early morning.

Xia Qingqing finished ironing a skirt, stretched, touched her stomach, and felt hungry.

She folded the new skirt neatly and placed it on the table. Now her fame had grown a lot. People from several streets away would come to her to choose cloth to make clothes.

I can earn thirty or forty yuan a day on average, which is much better than working in an office.

Xia Qingqing turned around and bumped into the handcuffing machine. She felt a sharp pain in her calf, which made her grit her teeth in pain. She rubbed it hard a few times before the pain was relieved a little.

Old-fashioned hemming machine

She frowned as she looked at the crowded room, which was only about seven or eight square meters in total. There was a single bed, a sewing machine, a hemming machine, and a dozen rolls of cloth hanging against the wall, making it difficult to turn around in the small room.

Although Old Man Yang gave He Qian a shop when he threatened her, the shop was already open and the lease would not expire until June of the following year. Moreover, she had no interest in the shop. It was three streets away from the alley where she lived and she was not familiar with the area.

Xia Qingqing planned to move back to the Yang family after Yang Hongbing died, and also open a tailor shop there. Such a large Shikumen house could be used to open a small garment factory.

Yang Hongbing's case went to trial a few days ago, and the final verdict was six years in prison, but this bastard will definitely not have a chance to get out.

Mr. Ba told her that before Grandma Duan took action, she found a few gangsters, gave them a large sum of money, and asked them to help get rid of Yang Hongbing.

The leaders of those gangsters used to be in the Green Gang before liberation and they still valued the moral code of the underworld. They would definitely do what they were paid to do. Yang Hongbing's life was already in countdown.

"Cuckoo..."

Xia Qingqing didn't want to think about these things anymore. If she didn't go to have breakfast, she would almost faint from hunger.

She picked up a new light blue shirt from the table. It was made by Aunt Liu for Uncle Liu. The latest shirt Uncle Liu wore was made ten years ago. The collar had been changed three times and the elbows were polished.

Uncle Liu was reluctant to make it, saying that the shirt he was wearing could still be worn for another ten years. Aunt Liu simply did not discuss it with him and directly asked Xia Qingqing to make one for him. The fabric was also bought from her, which was much cheaper than if Aunt Liu bought it herself.

Xia Qingqing didn't make any money. She rented a house from the Liu family and was taken care of by the old couple these days. She only charged six yuan for this dress, and the cost was four yuan.

Aunt Liu didn't want to take advantage of her and insisted on doing the same as others. Xia Qingqing had no choice but to take eight yuan from her.

The shirts had been ironed, so I delivered them to the Liu family while I was having breakfast. Uncle Li's two shirts were also ironed, so I delivered them there as well.

The Liu family is home to an elderly couple. Like Grandpa Li, their children all work and have their own homes.

Xia Qingqing went up to the second floor. The door of Liu's house was half open. She knocked and called out, "Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, I'm coming in!"

"come in!"

Uncle Liu was in the room, but Aunt Liu called out, "Wait a minute!"

But Xia Qingqing had already entered the house, with one foot inside and one foot outside. She was a little embarrassed. Should she go in or not?

"Come in, Xiao Xia is not an outsider, what does it matter?"

Uncle Liu waved at her, and Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Come in, I'm changing the sheets!"

Xia Qingqing smiled, and when she saw Aunt Liu pulling off the old sheets on the bed and preparing to replace them with new ones, the corners of her mouth twitched.

She knew that Uncle Liu and his wife lived a very frugal life, but she didn't expect them to be so frugal. The old bed sheet on the bed was so old that its original color and pattern could no longer be seen. It was patched with so many layers of patches. She guessed that this bed sheet was probably Aunt Liu's dowry.

They may be older than Uncle Liu’s children.

I have heard Uncle Li make fun of Uncle Liu before, saying that the Liu family slept on old sheets at night and changed them into new sheets in the morning, and they did this every day for decades. Uncle Li said that Uncle Liu was suffering for being too concerned about his reputation.

Uncle Liu retorted that as long as he had enough food and clothing, he would not plan to be poor all his life. He also said that Uncle Li had such a high salary but could not save much money, as all the money was wasted on eating and drinking.

When Xia Qingqing heard it, she thought that Uncle Li was exaggerating a bit. But now that she saw it with her own eyes, Uncle Li was still relatively tactful. At least he didn't mention the exaggerated patches on the old bed sheet, but just said it was an old bed sheet.

"Don't look at this sheet as old. It's made of pure cotton. It's more comfortable to sleep on than new ones. It's much older than you, Xiaoxia."

Uncle Liu noticed that Xia Qingqing was looking at the bed sheet, so he explained with a smile.

"Bedsheets are like shoes. New shoes rub your feet, but old ones are more comfortable."

Xia Qingqing followed his words, and Uncle Liu looked at her with a more kind look, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, that's right, it's really uncomfortable to sleep on new sheets, and the same goes for clothes, they are not as comfortable as old clothes. Xiaoxia, have you eaten yet, how about eating together?"

Uncle Liu, who has always been stingy, rarely invited Xia Qingqing to have breakfast with him, because he felt that Xia Qingqing was his soulmate and he should invite his soulmate to have breakfast.
