Chapter 111
111 Chapter 110, A Good Child
There were so many people, and only Li Yong alone was the chef. At 10:30, he started to cook.
It was summer now anyway, so the dishes wouldn’t be cold if they were cooked in advance.
The neighbors were also very respectful, and they all brought gifts when they came. Although there weren’t many, those from those with close relations only cost 10 or 80 Yuan, and most of them were one or two Yuan. But it was the thought that was counted, was their good wish for Li Miao.
In this era, most people were very simple, and there weren’t that many bad intentions. Seeing that Li Miao was doing well, they were also happy.
Li Miao had become a very busy person. She held the admission notice sent by the school in her hand and showed it to the neighbors one by one.
Originally, Li Miao was afraid that if she took it out, the neighbors would damage it.
Unexpectedly, when everyone looked at it, they didn’t even dare to reach out their hands, afraid that it would be dirty.
Some children were curious and wanted to reach out to touch it, but they were reprimanded by the adults, “Don’t you dare to touch this precious thing!”
Li Miao instantly felt that she was a little petty. She took the initiative to hold the child’s hand and let him touch the notice, “It’s okay. Come and rubbed the lucky energy. In the future, you’ll be admitted to a better university than me!”
When the parents heard this, they immediately beamed, “Hey, as long as they can get admitted to a university, I’ll be satisfied. Who cares if it’s good or not?”
One child started to touch and leads to another one.
In the end, the children all lined up and came over to touch one by one, so that they could enjoy themselves.
There were only so many people in the village. The banquet was held until six o’clock in the evening, so there was basically no one left.
When Li Yong was cooking, he was very willing to put in more meat. There was not much meat left in a pig. Other than pig trotters and pig heads, there was not much meat left on the body.
After the dinner was over, Li Zhiming tidied up these things and put them into the bucket.
Then, he tied a rope to the handle of the bucket and put the bucket inside the well in the courtyard.
There was still no running water in the village. Almost every family had a well in their courtyard.
In summer, the bottom of the well becomes a large natural refrigerator. Meat and vegetables that could not be finished were put inside, and they would not go bad even after three or four days.
After finishing all this, although it was already very late, Li Yong and Li Xu still returned to the city.
This was one of the bad things about growing up. Every time they wanted to go home and stay a few more days, they could not do anything about it. There were always all kinds of things tying them down.
Li Xu had been tired for a whole day. She was afraid that she would not be able to rest well in just one night. Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan brought Li Xu to the s.p.a.ce in the evening. Since the time was prolonged there, she could have a good rest.
The next morning, Li Xu became lively again.
As usual, she made soup and asked the three children to send it to Qin Junshan.
When she arrived at the Qin residence, she did not see Qin Mucheng.
Niu Ailan shouted upstairs, “Mucheng, Yuanyuan is here…”
“Oh, I understand!” Qin Mucheng responded quickly, but his att.i.tude was very cold.
Ji Yuanyuan was a little confused. She looked at Qin Junshan in surprise, “Grandpa Qin, what’s wrong with Brother Mucheng? Is he in a bad mood?”
As soon as she said that, Qin Mucheng came down.
However, he didn’t walk briskly like usual today. His face wasn’t smiling as usual.
After he came down, he only glanced at Ji Yuanyuan indifferently and sat beside Qin Junshan.
Ji Yuanyuan vaguely felt that this temper seemed to be directed at her?
“Brother Mucheng, I brought you candy. It’s wedding candy!” Although Ji Yuanyuan didn’t know why she still said sweetly.
“Oh!” Qin Mucheng glanced at her again, and there was still only the word ‘oh’!
Ji Yuanyuan was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? How did he become so tsundere after not seeing her for a day?
Could it be…
“Mucheng waited for you all day yesterday and almost cried from anger!” As Qin Junshan said this, he patted Qin Mucheng’s head, “You brat, why are you so ungentlemanly? How dare you throw your face at a lady?”
Qin Mucheng held his head and retorted angrily, “I’m not crying!”
Qin Junshan teased him on purpose, “I already said it was almost!”
Qin Mucheng pursed his lips and ran to the television cabinet. He turned on the television and sat on the sofa to watch TV.
Ji Yuanyuan suddenly realized that this was the reason why he was angry!
“Brother Mucheng, I’m sorry!” Ji Yuanyuan ran to Qin Mucheng’s side and sat down, she tugged at his sleeve, “My Aunt received the university admission notice two days ago. We went back to our hometown yesterday, so iI didn’t have time to come over, “Don’t be angry, here’s some candy. You’ll definitely do better than my Aunt in the future!”
She reached out and handed Qin Mucheng a piece of candy.
Qin Mucheng’s expression softened when he heard that. He stole a glance at the candy, pursed his lips, and reached out to take it.
Qin Junshan couldn’t help but laugh. He asked Ji Yuanyuan, “Yuanyuan, what university did your Aunt get into?”
“B City Normal University!” Ji Yuanyuan answered crisply.
Qin Junshan and Niu Ailan looked at each other in surprise.
They really didn’t expect Li Miao’s academic results to be so good.
“B City, then let your Aunt come to my house for dinner in the future. When you go to B City to visit your Aunt, you can also stay at my house!” Qin Mucheng said enthusiastically when he heard Ji Yuanyuan’s words, he instantly forgot that he was still angry just now.
“Okay, then I’ll go back and talk to my aunt!”Ji Yuanyuan saw that Qin Mucheng had forgotten about what he said just now, so he quickly followed his words.
After all, Qin Mucheng was a child. His emotions came and went quickly. Soon, he brought Ji Yuanyuan and the others up to the second floor.
Qin Junshan opened the thermos bucket on the table, and the fragrance rushed to his face. He raised his head and looked at Niu Ailan, “Want to drink some?”
Niu Ailan quickly shook her head, “This is a gift from your Granddaughter-in-law. You should drink it yourself!”
With that, she got up and went to the kitchen to get a spoon, a bowl, and chopsticks.
“Speaking of which, Yuanyuan, this child, is really filial. She brings soup to you every day to drink. Ordinary children really don’t have such filial piety and perseverance,” Niu Ailan praised when she saw that Qin Junshan liked Ji Yuanyuan.
Qin Junshan took a sip of the soup and laughed when he heard Niu Ailan’s words, “Yes, she’s a good child. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken a fancy to her as my Granddaughter-in-law! Sigh, I’m just hoping that Mucheng will be a better person in the future. Such a good wife must be captured.”
To be honest, Xiaomin came home last year and said that Big Brother had arranged a child betrothal for Mucheng. The other party was the daughter of their unit, Ji Jianguo.
She and Old Qin were also surprised.
At that time, Old Qin said that although he had seen that child before and she was indeed very cute, Big Brother was really too careless.
The two of them could not figure out why Big Brother had chosen this child after a long time.
Now that they had interacted with her for a long time, they realized that this child was indeed very good.
She was smart and beautiful, kind-hearted, and filial…
She had never seen such an adorable child before!
“Oh right, Big Brother, I see that your spirits have improved quite a bit recently.”
Speaking up to this point, Qin Junshan also felt a little strange, “I have indeed improved quite a bit. My chest is no longer suffocating, and my body is also feeling stronger.”
