Chapter 500: Developing into a Long-term Customer

It was already late at this time, and I heard that they were returning on the last ferry into the port.

This meant that there were no ferries leaving the island from the port, so Ning Jiandong had to stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning.

Since the visitor is a guest, Wen's mother prepared some delicious dishes to entertain him.

For this purpose, we also asked Mr. Li from next door and Mr. Zhang who came back to pick up He An to be the guests.

The evening was filled with toasts and the atmosphere was very lively.

The topics we talked about were all over the place, but we would never touch on topics that shouldn’t be touched on.

Yi Chichi and Wen's mother didn't respond. They focused on eating and taking care of He An. If the men wanted to talk, let them talk.

After eating and drinking, Ning Jiandong fell asleep.

I didn't fall asleep naturally, but was drunk by the old man and his men.

He is a good drinker. He falls asleep immediately after being drunk and never talks nonsense or gets drunk.

He snored loudly while lying on the table.

Even after they moved him into the cleaned-up guest room, they still couldn't wake him up.

"Will he throw up at night?"

After everyone was settled, Lao Li asked a creepy question.

Yi Chichi and the others looked at each other, and then looked at the old man who seemed to be indifferent to the matter.

The old man, who was holding the cup and drinking tea slowly, noticed their burning gazes and looked over. "Why are you looking at me? I can control everything, but I can't control whether he vomits or not."

He smiled when he heard it, "That's not my intention. I just wanted to ask you if there is any way to prevent Uncle Ning from vomiting at night."

"You can have a bowl of hangover soup, but you don't have any."

This is indeed not the case.

So, I can only pay attention at night.

After cleaning up and sending the people away, Wen's mother yawned and said, "I'm going to take a shower first."

"I'll fetch you some water."

Wen Shi ran to the back quickly to prepare water for his mother to take a bath.

Two large buckets of hot water in the pot were all filled up.

The female comrades used too much water to take a bath, so he boiled another pot after bringing it in. Yi Chichi looked at the amount and asked him, "Aren't you going to take a bath?"

"It's a little hot, I'll wash with cold water."

Yi Chichi touched his body and found the temperature was normal. She looked up and found Wen Shi looking at her speechlessly, "Wife, I don't have a fever, I just have internal heat."

Very meaningful.

Yi Chichi, "..."

I understand. I am really holding it in.

She held it in for a long time before finally saying, "I'm not being nice to you either."

"There is still a little difference. I can't be a surfer."

He looked very aggrieved, "I have to take it easy."

In other words, it's not satisfying enough.

Yi Chichi sighed, "Just bear with it for now, your belly is too big."

Sad, no idea.

It's difficult for her to even turn over, so we can't expect her to have any wild thoughts.

Wen Shi hummed, and when the water temperature came up, he filled the basin and went to the guest room, "Wife, go back to your room and rest for a while. I'll wipe Uncle Ning so that he won't sleep uncomfortably at night."

"it is good."

Half an hour later, Wen's mother came to take her place after taking a shower. Wen Shi was busy helping her. By the time the couple had finished showering and were lying on the bed, it was almost nine o'clock.

The baby has had a good rest and has officially entered the active period of punching, kicking and swimming around.

Wen Shi looked at her belly, which was bulging here and a small bulge of hair there. He reached out to touch it and looked at her again, "Wife, does it hurt?"

"got used to."

There was a little bit at the beginning, especially the first few times, but as it happened more often, I didn't feel anything anymore.

Wen Shi kissed her and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will educate the baby well when it is born."

"I'm just afraid that you won't be willing to give it up when the time comes."

He thought about it carefully, "If it's my daughter, I might really feel reluctant to let her go, but if it's my son..."

After a pause, he sighed and said, "Probably he can't bear to do it." Yi was speechless. This was probably a kind father.

There is a high probability that she will be the strict mother in their family in the future.

"Let's make it clear first. If you want to be a kind father and I want to be a strict mother, you can't interfere in education. No matter what the situation is, you have to ensure my authority in education."

"I understand this. I promise not to interfere. No matter what the matter is, I will firmly support your authority."

The response was particularly refreshing, but Yi was reluctant to express any hope.

You can only wait until the baby is born and then act according to the situation.

Guessing that the two ignored the baby, the little guy started to kick and punch in the belly. Yi Chichi held her belly and kicked him, "Hurry up, read to the baby, or sing a song."

Wen Shi said "oh", picked up the comic book and read it first, then sang and interacted with the baby. After half an hour of this, his stomach finally calmed down.

He rested his hand on Yi Chi Chi's round belly. After a long silence, he lowered his voice as if he was afraid of disturbing the baby again and whispered, "Are you asleep?"

"Probably so."

"Can we go to bed then?"

"Go to sleep."

So, the couple lay down, Wen Shi hugged her habitually, with his hands on his belly, Yi Chichi closed his eyes and chatted with him casually, and while chatting, he suddenly said -

"I forgot to ask, how much did Uncle Ning charge you for that family portrait?"

Yi Chichi opened his eyes quickly and said, "Damn it, I forgot to ask the price."

Wen Shi was silent for a moment, "Uncle Ning didn't say anything either?"

"No."

We were so busy discussing other things that we didn't even talk about the price.

But don't panic, "I won't lose money. The difficulty of this family portrait is not much different from double-sided embroidery. In addition, the meaning is different. I believe that the price Uncle Ning can negotiate will only be higher, not lower."

It turned out that she was right. When the couple asked Ning Jiandong the next morning, he gave a figure of five thousand eight hundred.

When he heard this, his eyes suddenly widened. "Foreign exchange?"

"Well, we can't settle with him using our money."

"Settle foreign exchange for my wife?"

"You want to pay with our currency?"

It is impossible to give her foreign exchange.

Yi Chichi didn't care. She didn't go abroad, so it was useless to ask for foreign exchange. It was even more troublesome to submit materials to prove the source of the foreign exchange. Direct exchange was a good thing for her.

"When is the bill?"

"The payment will be made after delivery. Now we are taking advance payment."

Ning Jiandong did not hide the truth from them and said honestly, "Although the delivery will take two years, you can't be careless. This person can become a long-term customer."

This is a situational rhythm.

However, the couple did not plan to ask. They did not have the opportunity to face foreign guests in the short term, so it would be useless to ask.

In this case, it is better to wait until the time is right before making plans.

"Hurry up and have breakfast. I'll take you to the port after you finish."

Wen Shi laid out the breakfast he brought back one by one. Ning Jiandong glanced at it and exclaimed, "The island is great. There is no shortage of seafood."

Mother Wen was setting the table, and she said, "How about I go with you to the market to buy some dried seafood after you finish eating?"

There are markets on the islands, selling grains, oils, rice, noodles, seafood, some agricultural products, and cloth woven by ethnic minority villagers. It is a legal market, and trade can be free, and no one will report it.

No one accepted the report.

It was only opened in the past two years.

Earlier, only state-owned enterprises were allowed to unify purchase and sales, which was similar in nature to the supply and marketing cooperatives in department stores.

Now ethnic minority villagers are allowed to set up stalls freely, but they have to pay a management fee, which is not expensive, and they pay it after selling the products.

Ning Jiandong didn't know this, and when he heard this, he was moved and worried, "Will anything happen?"

"will not."

When Wen Shi explained the nature of the market, he immediately became eager to make a large purchase.

But there was a problem, he didn't bring that much money and tickets.

So he asked to borrow money.

Yi Chichi was not afraid that he would not pay back, so he quickly took out five Da Tuanjie banknotes and some bills and gave them to him.
