After finishing lunch, Xia Qing watched her mother doing the dishes and thought about ordering a dishwasher and a robot vacuum online!

Summer was fine, but in winter, Yang Xia’s hands were always red and chapped from washing dishes and clothes!

But first, she needed to take the things she sold on Xianyu yesterday to the express supermarket to ship them out.

Quite a few people on Taobao also bought her things. After a rough calculation, she had earned 20,000 yuan from selling things online.

The only cost was the express delivery fee!

Xia Qing found the second volume of the book Su Yu had found for her and scanned it.

She also flipped through a few novels, which were quite interesting, and unknowingly spent the whole morning reading.

Thinking of the crystal beads, she absorbed over a dozen of them in one go.

Hoo hoo.

After absorbing them, her space did indeed become larger, and her skin became more delicate, and her body was filled with power!

“Qingqing, I’m treating my classmates to dinner tomorrow night. Remember to come too. It’s at the Four Seasons Qing Restaurant in the town, Room 201.”

“Okay, okay,” Xia Qing replied and hung up the phone.

Xia Qing didn’t attend the wedding, so this must be a return thank-you dinner.

It just so happened that she had to go to the town tomorrow anyway, to the driving school, which she paid extra to attend! The requirement was to get her license quickly! She could conveniently go to dinner in the evening.

The home appliances she bought online were being delivered today.

She placed the order yesterday afternoon, and they were being delivered this morning. Mou Dong was really fast, as if they were afraid she would cancel the order?

At noon, Yang Xia stewed a big pot of vegetables. The meat inside was local pork from the countryside, with a little cooking wine, salt, and MSG, stirred in the pot with a slotted spoon.

Then she sautéed chopped green onions and ginger, and poured in large chunks of chopped pork, kelp, meatballs, and winter melon…finally adding some vermicelli.

The rich aroma was refreshing and delicious, how could it not be delicious?

For the rest, afraid of eating too much greasy food, she picked two tomatoes grown at home, cut them into pieces, and mixed them with a little white sugar.

Sweet and refreshing!

It had to be said that Yang Xia’s cooking was really delicious, and the big steamed buns made at home were soft and fragrant.

Xia Qing ate a big bowl!

Woof woof woof, every household in the village raised two dogs, and Xia Qing’s family was no exception.

The family’s leftovers were all given to the big yellow dog, which was pregnant, with a bulging belly.

Gurgle…

Xia Qing rubbed the big yellow dog’s head, and while petting the dog, she checked her phone.

Today was September 2nd, the day the Qi Mao Novels royalties came out.

She only published for three to five days last month, so she estimated that the royalties wouldn’t be much. She opened her phone and saw that the royalties for those three to five days were actually more than 5,000 yuan! Giving her a big surprise! If she sold the copyright in the future, she could probably sell it for hundreds of thousands of yuan?

The novels that Su Yu found were all very interesting, and when she finished reading and scanning them for publication, she could also earn royalties.

“Qingqing, the tomatoes can be picked in the next few days. Where should I send them to you?” Xia Jixiang asked.

“Warehouse No. 20, Nanpu in the town. After picking, I’ll go with you to deliver them!”

Xia Qing thought for a while and then said, “You just take care of picking them, and someone will come to transport them then.”

Otherwise, her dad would have to transport them several times on a tricycle, so she would just rent a truck.

“There’s such a good thing? That’s great!” Xia Jixiang couldn’t close his mouth with joy.

“This year is really good! I don’t have to pull goods at three or four in the morning! This is all thanks to Qingqing.”

Sending Qingqing to school was definitely the right choice! Xia Jixiang couldn’t close his mouth with joy.

Xia Jixiang was not yet 50 years old this year, but he had been doing hard labor all year round. Both sides of his head were covered with white hair, and his face was full of wrinkles. Some people would believe it if he said he was 70 years old!

Planting and delivering vegetables, not sleeping until dawn was the norm. Only in the afternoon, when there were fewer people buying vegetables, would he find a shady place on the street to catch up on sleep.

Summer was fine, but winter was too cold, and setting up greenhouses in winter was still an expense.

So vegetables are more expensive in winter.

As long as Su Yu was alive and well, she would have sufficient income, and someone would collect the vegetables from their family.

In the afternoon, Xia Qing’s express delivery phone didn’t stop ringing.

The large express deliveries were all delivered to the door, so Xia Qing had to go to the door to move them.

“What did you buy?”

Yang Xia and Xia Jixiang also curiously gathered around.

The neighbors next door also gathered around, including Dad’s friend, Sun Jianguo.

“This is the air conditioner I bought. Summer is coming soon, so I’ll install one in Mom and Dad’s room and one in my room.”

“Also, the refrigerator in our house is too small and makes too much noise, so I bought a new one.”

“And the TV, I bought you an eighty-inch big TV, so you can watch it comfortably!”

“And this multi-functional sofa chair, it’s so comfortable to sit on!”

“I also bought a dishwasher this afternoon, and the robot vacuum is estimated to arrive tomorrow.”

The countryside is just big!

“Doesn’t this cost a lot of money?” Yang Xia still felt that her daughter spent a lot of money. What were dishwashers and robot vacuums? Wouldn’t they have to wash dishes in the future?

“Not much money! Dad, Mom, I have money now, let’s live a better life in the future! Isn’t the purpose of making money to spend it?”

“Okay, our daughter is filial to us, so we will happily accept it!” Xia Jixiang looked very happy.

He was very open-minded, and if there were conditions, he would live a good life. Without a son, his daughter was also his own child!

He was never stingy, but he just didn’t have much ability, he could only farm, but farming just didn’t bring in much income.

Now that his daughter was successful, he was so happy! He wanted all the people in the village to see! His daughter could also make him proud.

“It was all bought by my daughter! Jianguo! When my new TV is installed, come to my house to watch TV! Such a big TV, how far away would it be to watch it.” Xia Jixiang’s voice was very loud, and the surrounding neighbors could hear it clearly.

Sun Jianguo’s face didn’t look too good, but he managed to keep up appearances.

“Alright, I’ll see how big that television of yours is when the time comes!”

Sun Jianguo’s family also had two sons and one daughter. His daughter had long been married; back then, he didn’t hesitate to secretly mock Xia Jixiang for having just that one daughter, and now she would bring about the end of the family line.

Now, look at it—ever since his daughter came back, she’s been buying new mobile phones and replacing all the home appliances with brand-new ones.

Not only that, but he’d heard that even the vegetables she cultivated were being bought up, so she no longer had to work hard selling them outside. In his heart, Sun Jianguo was truly jealous, though he wouldn’t admit it.

“With such a big box, Jianguo, come help me move it; I’ll treat you to a drink tonight,” Xia Jixiang said with a beaming smile.

Sun Jianguo’s mouth twitched—who would be interested in that drink! Tonight, he had to go back and call his son to discuss the matter properly.

“I’ll do the moving.”

Xia Qing went over to help, but was immediately blocked by her father.

“This is so heavy that you won’t be able to move it; I’ll do it! Jianguo, come join us!”

Sun Jianguo reluctantly went over to help lift it.

In fact, Xia Qing was able to move it with ease; she felt it wasn’t very heavy—perhaps because she had absorbed some Crystal Beads.

“This air conditioner must waste quite a bit of electricity in the summer, right? What a family ruin! When it’s hot, just use an electric fan, isn’t that enough?” Grandma said, stomping angrily beside them.

“Don’t worry, Mom. When the time comes, you’ll just use an electric fan; Qingqing only bought two air conditioners, and she won’t install them in your room,” Yang Xia said.

Grandma’s face turned as white as a sheet with anger, but then she calmed down and said, “One air conditioner is enough for us; send the other one to your eldest brother’s house, so that when I go to live there, it will be cool as well.”
