Material Empire

"Sister, what do you want a hoe for?" Qin Hai looked at Qin Shan and asked in bewilderment.

"Grow vegetables!" Qin Shan replied as a matter of course, "Don't my father and I want to eat vegetables? You have so much open space here, you can open a vegetable garden and grow vegetables, which is enough for our family to eat."

"Sister, you're a city dweller now, okay?" Qin Hai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In such a large steel factory, only one steelmaking workshop has resumed production, and the number of workers is very limited, so it seems that the site is indeed empty enough. However, no matter how open it is, the daughter of the dignified chairman and the younger sister of the CEO can't grow vegetables in the factory, right?

"Don't people in the city eat vegetables?" Qin Shan is quite reasonable. In her opinion, it is quite normal to grow and order vegetables in front of and behind the house. Farm girl, there is no pressure to do this kind of farm work .

"People in the city buy their vegetables at the vegetable market. There is no reason to grow their own vegetables." Qin Hai said. Let's go, I'll take you to the farm machinery factory."

"Really?" Qin Shan was overjoyed. She didn't have many chances to go out, and the farthest she usually went was Jiangshan County. This time, she came to Pingyuan with Qin Hai, and she felt that everything she saw was fresh and never bored. Hearing that her brother was going to take her to the farm machinery factory, she was naturally elated.

Qin Hai helped Qin Shan put some washed things to the door of the dormitory to dry, then locked the door of the dormitory, drove Qin Shan to the agricultural machinery factory in a jeep.

"Brother, why do you want to take me to the farm machinery factory?" Qin Shan asked Qin Hai while sitting in the car.

Qin Haidao: "Didn't you say that you want to buy all kinds of things? I'll find you a guide and ask her to accompany you to buy them. By the way, I will also teach you the rules of the people in the city. What do you think?"

"Can't you take me to buy it?" Qin Shan asked.

Qin Haidao: "Buying things is a woman's business, right? How can I, a grown man, understand this? Let me introduce you to a big sister who is my opposite door. I remember that she works the evening shift this week. At this time, I should In the room, it happens to be your guide."

When she heard that she was going to meet outsiders, Qin Shan became nervous all of a sudden, she kept muttering: "Really? Will she be fierce? By the way, will she look down on me? Oh, no, no, you I didn't say it earlier, so I came out wearing old work clothes..."

Qin Hai didn't have any sisters in his previous life, so he didn't know about girls' thoughts at all. Seeing Qin Shan brushing her hair and tugging at her clothes desperately, trying to make them smoother, he just thought it was funny.

"Okay, Xiaoshan, there's no need to be so grand. The person I'm taking you to meet is just an ordinary worker. She also came from the countryside, and she doesn't dress much better than you." Qin Hai couldn't help comforting her. .

The person Qin Hai wanted to take Qin Shan to meet was naturally Wang Xiaochen from the opposite door. He knew that Wang Xiaochen was an enthusiastic person and wanted her to help teach his younger sister how to be a city girl. For girls' affairs, it is definitely necessary for girls to communicate better. For some things that girls want to buy, Qin Hai doesn't know what to buy, nor where to buy them.

Qin Shan's nervousness disappeared less than a minute after she saw Wang Xiaochen. Wang Xiaochen had the temperament of a rural girl familiar to Qin Shan, and her enthusiasm quickly infected Qin Shan. After a while, sister Xiaochen and Wang Xiaochen became clingy one by one.

"Brother, I know where to buy vegetables. Sister Xiaochen told me that every morning, farmers around will pick vegetables and sell them at the gate of the factory. She told me not to go too early, but to wait for others to sell them. I will go back when it is time, and then the price will be cheaper..." After staying in Wang Xiaochen's room for a while, Qin Shan happily ran back to Qin Hai's room to report to him the life knowledge she had learned.

Qin Haidao: "But... did she tell you that the dishes at that time were left over from other people's picks, and they were all rotten or had insect eyes?"

"What are you afraid of picking the leftovers? Aren't they still edible after they've been washed and fried? Sister Xiaochen said that a catty of vegetables like this would be at least 3 cents cheaper." Qin Shan retorted.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong..." Qin Hai wanted to slap himself on the head a few times. Wang Xiaochen is a worker, but she is the kind of worker who was born in a rural area and was extremely economical. Let Wang Xiaochen teach Qin Shan How to be a city person, what can she teach?

"Wait, let me think about who else can teach you..." Qin Hai began to think about the women he met in Qingfeng Factory. Not many, especially young girls. There were a few young women in the bachelor building, but Qin Hai was not familiar with them, so it was not easy to ask them for help.

Qin Shan was not happy anymore, she pouted and said, "Who else do I need to find? Didn't you say that sister Xiaochen would take me shopping? She is changing clothes now, and she will be done soon. We don't need to find anyone else." gone."

"I'm worried that if I let her lead the way, I can only buy a bunch of cheap and discounted goods." Qin Hai said, "No, I have to find a rich second-generation, official second-generation or something... Oh, I remembered , there really are!"

"What really?" Qin Shan asked strangely.

"I have thought of a suitable candidate." Qin Hai said happily, "Xiaoshan, you wait here for a while. When Xiaochen is dressed, you wait for me downstairs, and I will find another person to accompany you , so the structure is reasonable.”

"What did you say?" Qin Shan frowned, really not knowing what Qin Hai was talking about.

Qin Hai left Qin Shan in the room and ran away quickly. He left the bachelor building, went straight to the family area, and arrived at Ning Zhongying's house in a short while.

"Du Du, Du Du." Qin Hai knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A question came from inside the room, and then the door opened, and Tranquility's pretty face appeared in front of Qin Hai.

"Hey, it's Qin Hai, are you here to find my father, or my brother?" Tranquility asked.

"I said I came to look for you, do you believe me?" Qin Hai asked with a smile.

"Of course I don't believe it." Tranquility smiled and said, "However, I guess you came to see my dad. My dad won't be at home at this time. If he is not in the office, he must be in the workshop."

Qin Haidao: "I really came to look for you. If you are not busy now, I would like to ask you to do me a favor."

"Me?" Tranquility looked at Qin Hai's face, and felt that the other party didn't seem to be joking, so she couldn't help being surprised: "What can I do for you?"

"It's like this..." Qin Hai briefly explained the matter, explaining that his father and younger sister came from the countryside and wanted to temporarily settle down in Pingyuan, so he needed to buy some things. I don't know much about shopping, I hope Tranquility can help, and go shopping with my sister.

"So that's what's going on, I'm free." Tranquility was also feeling uncomfortable staying at home alone. Hearing that there was such a glorious and interesting task, she was naturally overjoyed, "Wait a minute, I'll go Change clothes..."

The door of the room was slammed shut in front of Qin Hai. Qin Hai touched his nose, which was almost hit by the board, and thought depressingly: women are really troublesome animals. They are just shopping. Qin Shan regrets that she didn't change her clothes. , Wang Xiaochen is in a hurry to change clothes, and Tranquility also wants to change clothes... As for making it so grand?

Oh, just wait a few minutes...

Practice shows that Qin Hai's optimism is groundless. Tranquility stayed in the room for a full quarter of an hour before she opened the door and greeted Qin Hai: "Okay, wait a minute, let's go."

"I said sister, it's summer, can you change clothes for a quarter of an hour?" Qin Hai complained as he walked towards the bachelor building with tranquility.

He doesn't have a fixed pattern of addressing Tranquility. Sometimes he calls her Xiaojing like Ning Zhongying, sometimes he calls her sister like Ning Mo, and sometimes he calls her girl in his own way. What, depends on his mood. For example, at this moment, he wanted to complain like a brother criticizing his sister, so he called Tranquility his sister.

"What is a change of clothes? We girls have to go out, so can't we wash our faces and comb our hair? How can we be as sloppy as your boys." Tranquility retorted with a smile. In her opinion, Qin Hai's cute look now , is exactly the same as her brother Ning Mo.

"Women want to please themselves, who are you showing off by dressing up like this?" Qin Hai commented openly.

Tranquility's face turned red. As a high school student, of course she knew what this ancient sentence meant, but no one had ever said it so bluntly like Qin Hai. For a while, she couldn't think of how to refute Qin Hai's ridicule. She was stunned for a while, and then she wanted to express her anger, but she felt it was too late.

"You talk nonsense, I'm not going!" This was the most powerful counterattack Tranquility could think of, but when she said these words, she didn't stop at all.

When the two came downstairs, Wang Xiaochen and Qin Shan had already been waiting there for a while. Comparing the two, Qin Hai felt a strong contrast. Needless to say, Qin Shan, Wang Xiaochen had been a worker for two years at least, and even changed into a nice dress, but standing next to Tranquility seemed a bit shabby. The shirts that Tranquility wears are made of better materials than those worn by Wang Xiaochen, and they look newer. This is the difference between urban girls and rural girls.

"This is Wang Xiaochen from our workshop. You seem to have met him before? This is my sister Qin Shan, who is a sophomore at the beginning of school... This is the daughter of Factory Director Ning, named Tranquility, who is also in high school." Qin Hai told both parties Introducing each other.

"I'm also a sophomore in high school, we might still be classmates." Tranquility walked forward proactively, took Qin Shan's hand, and started a friendship affectionately.
