Chapter 128 Going Home
Back in the waiting room, Qin Yingxue closed her eyes to rest while carrying her bundle, but in reality, she went into the mall and took out the bronze mirror to have it appraised.
The mall offered a price of 40,000, which is equivalent to 400 yuan in the 1980s.
Sure enough, this bronze mirror was much more valuable than the bronze mirror itself.
Jiang Linlin's system is really powerful.
But Qin Yingxue wasn't envious at all.
If she wants to collect antiques, she can also use the online store to distinguish between genuine and fake items.
Those that command higher prices are naturally the ones with the longest history and are the most valuable.
Since there were no expenses, Qin Yingxue did not sell the bronze mirror.
Around midnight, Qin Yingxue boarded the train back to Haishi.
Because it was a midnight train, there weren't many passengers, which allowed Qin Yingxue to buy a hard seat.
The clanging and banging sounded like a lullaby, and Qin Yingxue slept until eight o'clock in the morning.
I went to the restroom to wash my face, ate something, and waited until nine o'clock when the train arrived on time.
Qin Yingxue followed the crowd off the train, exited the station, shared a ride with others to the pier, and soon boarded a ship.
Upon arriving in the town, Qin Yingxue had no choice but to walk because there were very few buses to Baisha Island and it was difficult to find a ride.
After walking for half an hour and making sure no one was around, Qin Yingxue found a secluded spot, bought an invisibility pill and a swiftness pill from the shop, and then used her skills to rush towards White Sand Island.
Twenty minutes later, Qin Yingxue arrived at Baisha Island.
Qin Yingxue felt a little regretful that the effects of the medicine had not yet worn off.
Actually, she was being a bit too cautious. She didn't encounter a single car on the way back, except for the occasional person.
She doesn't need the Invisibility Pill at all; the Gale Pill would suffice.
However, for safety's sake, Qin Yingxue still spent an extra amount of money.
After the mall removed the effects of the medicine, Qin Yingxue went to visit the Bai brothers.
Yang Weijun took Xiao Haifeng to the beach to collect seashells, leaving Bai Haijian alone at home clumsily mending the fishing net.
Qin Yingxue brought them a Peking duck, a bag of walnut shortbread, and a pound of White Rabbit milk candy.
When Bai Haijian saw Qin Yingxue, he quickly got up to pour her some water, but Qin Yingxue stopped him.
"You go about your business, I'm just stopping by."
Qin Yingxue sat and chatted with Bai Haijian for a while. She learned that he was having difficulty getting around because his foot injury had not yet healed. Moreover, because of the accident, Boss Hai's fishing boat had not been able to go out to sea for several days, so he simply stayed at home to recuperate.
"Take good care of yourself, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money," Qin Yingxue comforted her.
Bai Haijian nodded.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Yingxue picked up her bag and said goodbye.
When they returned to the family compound, Zhu Huiwen was not home, and the Wen siblings were lying there.
"Auntie, you're back! Grandma was so worried about you..." Wen Tiandong hugged Qin Yingxue's leg and said in a childish voice.
Qin Yingxue took out a pound of White Rabbit milk candy from her bundle, tore open the wrapper and stuffed it into Wen Tiandong's mouth, then gave one to Wen Tianqing and asked, "Where is your mother-in-law?"
“She’s at Grandma Wu’s house. Grandma Wu fell yesterday and broke her leg, so she’s bedridden and can’t move…” Wen Tianqing answered softly.
"Yingxue, is that you back?" Zhu Huiwen asked, peeking out from the neighboring yard when she heard the noise at home.
"Mom, I'm back!" Qin Yingxue said quickly.
"It's good that you're back! I'll feed your Grandma Wu some water first, and then we'll go home!" Zhu Huiwen said quickly.
"Mom, you go ahead with your work!" Qin Yingxue invited the Wen siblings into the house and took out a bag of walnut shortbread.
When the Wen siblings saw so many delicious things in Qin Yingxue's bundle, and even smelled other fragrant aromas, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, looking like they wanted to look but dared not.
Qin Yingxue generously took out a roast duck from her bundle and said with a smile, "We'll have something delicious for lunch."
Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Yingxue went to the kitchen to steam rice first, and also steamed the roast duck at the same time.
I saw a loofah in the corner, so I made a loofah soup with two eggs and also stir-fried some water spinach.
I saw cucumbers and eggplants, and there was also a piece of fresh pork belly in the cupboard, which I guess my mother-in-law asked the supply worker to buy for her.
Zhu Huiwen returned quickly, first looking Qin Yingxue over and noticing that she had lost some weight. Her face immediately showed concern: "You've lost a little weight. I'll stew some meat for you right away to help you regain your weight."
"Mom, I'm just a little tired from the car ride at night. I'll be fine after a nap," Qin Yingxue said with a smile.
“Then take the daytime bus back from now on. It’s okay to be a day late. Your health is the most important thing,” Zhu Huiwen said quickly.
"Okay," Qin Yingxue replied.
"How come there's a duck here? And it's cooked?" Zhu Huiwen smelled the aroma, lifted the pot lid, and found a golden duck. She looked puzzled.
"This is called roast duck. I saw a lot of people queuing up to buy it, so I bought two for everyone to try," Qin Yingxue said without changing her expression.
She bought the roast duck from the mall.
Once on the train back, Qin Yingxue realized that her trip to Yanjing had been far too rushed.
Otherwise, I would have to bring back at least two Peking ducks.
Later I remembered that they were also sold in the mall, so I bought two.
After the rice was cooked, Qin Yingxue used a cleaver to slice the roast duck into thin slices, placed them on a plate, and served them on the table.
Although it wasn't roasted on-site and can't compare to authentic Peking duck, the taste was still pretty good.
The Wen siblings ate with their mouths full of oil, and even Zhu Huiwen ate a few more pieces.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhu Huiwen asked her with concern about the details of her trip.
Qin Yingxue, unable to hide her exhaustion, picked up a few words to say.
Zhu Huiwen noticed that she kept yawning and quickly told her to go back to her room to rest.
Qin Yingxue did not refuse. After quickly taking a shower and drying her hair, she drifted off to sleep with the sea breeze blowing on her.
Zhu Huiwen finished cleaning up the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash. Suddenly, she heard the Wen siblings exclaim in surprise.
"Tianqing and Tiandong, please keep your voices down. Auntie is resting in her room..." Zhu Huiwen came out with water dripping from her hands. When she saw the familiar face, her face lit up with joy: "Yanchuan, you're back! Today is truly a good day. Yingxue has only been back for a short while, and now you're back too!"
Realizing he had spoken too loudly, he quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "Yingxue is sleeping upstairs, let's keep it down."
Song Yanchuan was covered in dust, and his face showed obvious fatigue. Hearing this, he asked in surprise, "Where did Yingxue go?"
"She went to her friend's wedding and came back this morning," Zhu Huiwen explained.
"Mom, I'm going to take a shower first." Song Yanchuan nodded, took out a change of clothes from his bag, and quickly took a cold shower.
Seeing that Song Yanchuan's hair was still dripping wet, Zhu Huiwen took a few long strides and went up to the second floor.
Zhu Huiwen covered her mouth and chuckled secretly.
Seeing the Wen siblings staring in shock in the direction Song Yanchuan had left, she quickly pulled them to the Wu family's house next door.
Song Yanchuan gently pushed open the door, tiptoed to the bedside, and immediately saw Qin Yingxue's innocent sleeping face, her long eyelashes as smooth as fans, covering her bright eyes...
