Become a burden in a period novel

Chapter 512 Fireworks

The green train sped along the tracks as Qin Wangshu sipped tea and flipped through the newspaper in front of him.

Across from her, Aunt Luo took out her knitting needles and began knitting a sweater. Her movements were quick, the needles flying up and down. The sweater she was knitting was black and had no pattern, so she was knitting very fast.

She knitted this sweater for Qin Jingchu. Qin Wangshu and Yang Mingye lived not far from her, but Qin Jingchu was in another city and didn't have any elders around, so she thought she would prepare more for him herself.

Although Qin Jingchu declined, saying that the army had everything, Aunt Luo did not miss the emotion in his eyes.

"I've got some. I'm a bit free these days, so I'll knit you all a sweater, but don't think about anything more. Wangshu is married to Mingye, so we're all family now, don't be so formal!" Qin Jingchu is not only Qin Wangshu's brother, but also Yang Mingye's brother. She had heard Yang Mingye say that Jingchu had saved him more than once.

"Brother, don't refuse. Auntie will knit you a sweater, so just accept it. The main problem is that I don't know how to knit, otherwise I would knit one for you too."

"You're one to talk! You're not acting like a proper lady at all!" Qin Jingchu rolled his eyes at his younger sister. Although he said that, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his sister's behavior.

“Wang Shu has her own things to do, why would she need to learn this?” Aunt Luo quickly protected Qin Wang Shu.

“That’s right, and besides, what clothes can’t you buy now? When we get back, I’ll buy you a whole set!” Qin Wangshu smiled sweetly at Aunt Luo.

The next moment, the carriage door opened, and Yang Mingye returned with his food.

"The food for lunch today wasn't very good. I figured you wouldn't like it, so I only brought a few vegetarian dishes and rice. You can take out the pickled vegetables we brought later." He placed the lunchbox on the table.

Qin Wangshu put away the newspaper in her hand. "I'm going to wash my hands."

The newspaper in her hand had stained her hands with ink; she should wash them.

"I'll go with you." Yang Mingye followed Qin Wangshu out.

Although the security in the soft sleeper compartment was not bad, he was still worried about Qin Wangshu going there alone.

On their way back, Qin Wangshu and the others ran into the professor from next door again.

"Professor Lin, are you going to dinner?" Qin Wangshu greeted him as they met face to face.

"Yes, Teacher Qin, have you eaten?" Chinese people always like to talk about food, which is very down-to-earth and much more intimate than talking about food abroad.

"We'll eat in the private room. You go ahead and eat, I won't keep you any longer. How about we have some tea in our private room after we finish eating?"

"That would be wonderful!" Professor Lin said happily.

After they returned to the private room, Yang Mingye asked Qin Wangshu, "You seem to really want to befriend that Professor Lin?"

Not only did they give him tea, but they also invited him over for tea. Yang Mingye had never seen Qin Wangshu treat anyone else with such hospitality.

"Hmm, I'd like to know more about the situation abroad." Simply knowing the basics wasn't enough; Qin Wangshu wanted more information.

Professor Lin teaches abroad and has access to many of the latest research findings, which Qin Wangshu can learn about through him.

Rather, she wanted to find someone familiar with foreign countries for her students.

The trend of people born in the 1980s and 1990s going abroad has already begun. Qin Wangshu plans to buy some more houses and take this opportunity to expand her business.

Orders from the port city are increasing, and Angelina is also starting to increase her orders, but it's still not enough.

Thinking about those international big names in the future, Qin Wangshu felt that she still had a long way to go.

Qin Wangshu knew what future skincare products would look like, but she didn't fully understand their ingredients, and she didn't even know if some of the ingredients had been discovered yet.

She recently called Angelina and asked her to prepare some imported skincare products for her, but she doesn't know where they are now.

Transportation is too inconvenient. If it were in later generations, those things could be delivered to her in just a few days.

Ever since she discovered that everything in that house was gone, Qin Fang fell seriously ill after returning home and has been feeling anxious ever since.

Her worst fears came true; the Xu family really did return.
