Chapter 112
112 Chapter 111, Loving Someone and Their Everything
“The air here is good and the water quality is good. With a few children accompanying you, you will also be happy. Once you are in a good mood, your body will be better. Why don’t you stay here and recuperate for a period of time and return after the New Year?” Niu Ailan suggested.
In the past, whenever this suggestion was mentioned, Qin Junshan always wanted to refute it. This time, it was rare that he did not refute it.
Niu Ailan knew that there was a chance.
Ever since that day, Ji Yuanyuan did not dare to break her promise. She went to the Qin family to report every day.
Qin Junshan’s health had improved a lot. In addition, he knew that Li Miao had entered university. Therefore, on this night at the end of August, Qin Xiaomin drove Qin Junshan and Qin Mucheng to Li Xu’s home. She picked up the four of them and went to the Li family.
Qin Junshan was in the front pa.s.senger seat. Four children and five people were squeezed into the back row.
Even though Ji Yuanyuan was sitting in Li Xu’s arms, the back row was still very crowded.
On the b.u.mpy road, Ji Yuanyuan thought to herself, fortunately, there was very few overload check in the small county town. Otherwise, once being checked, won’t they get caught?
Soon, they arrived at the Li family home.
The family was having dinner. With Li Miao around, the old couple’s meals were not inadequate.
There were two dishes on the table. One was shredded potatoes, and the other was a small pakchoi. There was also meat oil in the pakchoi.
It must have been from the leftover pork. They were afraid that it would spoil, so they refined the oil greaves.
The refined oil could be used to stir-fry vegetables. When salt was added to the oil residue, it would not spoil for a long time.
When stir-frying vegetables, the oily residue would be put in. It was fragrant, more fragrant than fresh meat!
The staple food was still porridge.
Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming were used to living in poverty. In the previous era, it was too difficult to make something to eat.
Therefore, the rice at home was only used to cook porridge, absolutely not rice.
If the family drank the diluted rice, at least everyone could have a share.
Now, there was no lack of food at home. The two of them still maintained this habit. They wished they could have porridge for every meal. Only when the farm was busy would they cook dry rice or steamed buns to eat.
Qin Junshan did not think much of it. Looking at the food on the table, he could not help but think of the things that happened when he was young. He actually had also drank a bowl of porridge.
After dinner, Li Xu and Li Miao cleaned up the table. Qin Xiaomin was going to help, but she was stopped by Liu Guihua.
Qin Junshan took out an envelope from his pocket, “Miaomiao, come here!”
Li Miao walked in. Seeing the envelope in Qin Junshan’s hand, she knew what was going on.
She looked at Li Xu with some hesitation.
After all, the Qin family was not related to her. Wasn’t it because of her sister and Yuanyuan?
Li Xu knew that such a thing would happen today. After all, it was a happy occasion. However, she did not expect Qin Junshan to give her such a thick red packet.
It looked like it was at least a few hundred Yuan!
“I heard from Yuanyuan that you got close to six hundred marks. It’s really amazing. I don’t know what you like, so I got lazy. Take this money and buy whatever you like.”
As he spoke, he put the envelope into Li Miao’s arms.
Li Xu quickly declined, “Uncle Qin, this is too much. Just give me ten or eight Yuan. It’s for luck.”
Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua watched helplessly and kept declining, “It’s too much, this is too much.”
Qin Junshan really wanted to give it to her. The two families declined for a long time, but in the end, they couldn’t persuade Qin Junshan. Li Miao finally accepted the red packet.
“Miaomiao, when will you start school? If the time is right, you and Mucheng can go together. We can look after each other on the way,” Qin Junshan asked.
Ji Yuanyuan heard something wrong with Qin Junshan’s words. She took two steps forward, grabbed the corner of Qin Junshan’s clothes, and asked, “Grandpa Qin, aren’t you going back with brother Mucheng?”
Just now, Qin Junshan said, ‘You go with Mucheng’.
And not, ‘You will go with us’.
Qin Junshan said with a smile, “Yes, Grandpa Qin has decided to rest here for a period of time. Yuanyuan, you must come and play with me during the weekend. Otherwise, I will be very bored.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded vigorously, “Grandpa Qin, don’t worry. I will go and find you.”
I still have to send you the spiritual spring water! Without the spiritual spring water, it would be useless to stay here for long.
Qin Junshan raised his head again and looked at Li Miao.
“School will start on September 3rd!” Li Miao said.
Qin Junshan pondered for a moment, he said directly,” Mucheng will start school on September 1st. I plan to let them go back a day earlier. You pack your things in advance and go together with them. Stay at home for two days first. If Shuqin is free, let her take you to school to have a look and buy all the daily necessities first.”
Li Miao was a little embarra.s.sed that Qin Junshan was so enthusiastic.
“No need, Uncle Qin, I’ll take the train. The traffic is very convenient now, and the train ticket is not expensive…”
“Okay, it’s settled then. You can talk to Mucheng on the way. Pack up in advance. On the morning of the 31st, I’ll get the driver to come and pick you up!”
After saying that, Qin Junshan got down from the heated brick bed, “It’s getting late, so I won’t disturb your rest. Xiaomin, let’s go!”
Qin Xiaomin quickly went forward and held Qin Junshan’s arm. When she pa.s.sed by Li Miao, she took out something from her pocket and stuffed it into Li Miao’s hand. She said in a low voice, “This is for you.”
Before Li Miao could react, Qin Xiaomin and Qin Junshan had already left.
Li Miao looked down and saw a bottle of perfume in her hand.
…
Since Qin Junshan’s words had come to this point, the Li family was embarra.s.sed to decline. Early in the morning of August 31st, Li Miao began to pack up his things.
The university would distribute bed sheets and blankets, and daily necessities would be bought there, so Li Miao did not bring many things.
It was just a few clothes, a few pairs of shoes, and then some small gadgets.
“What is this, a gift from your Brother?” When Liu Guihua helped her pack up, she pointed at a bag and asked.
The bag was small, not much bigger than a palm, and there were patterns of letters printed on it.
It looked like Li Yong’s style.
“No, Brother-in-law gave it to me. This bag is not cheap. It costs more than 200 Yuan. It’s my Brother-in-law’s salary for half a month. He said that when I go to the big city, I need a good bag to keep up appearances.” Li Miao deliberately spoke up for her brother-in-law in front of Liu Guihua.
She took out another dress, “Here, this is what Brother gave me. I don’t want to wear anything fancy!”
“Your brother-in-law is really good to your Sister. When your sister comes back, I’ll have to talk to her and let them get the certificate as soon as possible. She had to live a proper life with him, don’t drag him down.”
Liu Guihua knew in her heart why Zhang Kun was willing to spend half a month’s salary to buy a bag for Miaomiao? Wasn’t it because Miaomiao was Xiao Xu’s sister?
This was called loving someone and their everything. He liked Xiao Xu, which was why he was so nice to Xiao Xu’s family.
Li Miao nodded in deep agreement, “Tell Big Sister that it’s best to choose a winter or summer vacation or something. Otherwise, what if I can’t come back?”
It was so far away. It would take two days to get back and forth. If it wasn’t for the holidays, the university might really not allow it!
