Chapter 59 You can't get pregnant before the age of twenty

Liang Qi shrugged nonchalantly and smiled: "It's just a coincidence. I've been called Liang Qi since I was 14. Little expert, you shouldn't mind, right?"

He didn't look at Pei Jiuyan, but instead looked at Qin Suisui with a smile in his peach blossom eyes.

Qin Suisui felt a strange sense of familiarity about him, but she couldn't quite place it. But now was not the time to think about such things.

She gently squeezed Pei Jiuyan's hand and smiled at Liang Qi: "We've only met by chance, so there's no need to talk about minding. Thank you for saving me today, Comrade Liang. I also treated your injuries a couple of days ago, so let's call it even. Ah Yan, shall we go now?"

She raised her head, her clear eyes curving slightly as she looked at Pei Jiuyan.

Pei Jiuyan's anger subsided unconsciously. He grasped Qin Suisui's hand, nodded to her, and then looked at Liang Qi beside him: "Thank you, Comrade Liang."

Watching the couple walk away hand in hand, Liang Qi forced a bitter smile and muttered, "Little liar."

A scarred man ran up behind Liang Qi and respectfully said, "Boss, we've found out. The guy who did the deal with the little expert is surnamed Zhang. He's from Donghua. He's been doing a lot of double-crosses like this on our turf for the past six months."

Liang Qi's aura turned cold: "It's only been half a year since I last came, and it seems the monkey has become the king!"

“Just a few small fry, cut out his tongue and break his legs!” He then pointed to the several unconscious men on the ground: “And these few, cut out their tongues! Throw them at the foot of Changbai Mountain.”

He then pointed with his toe at the man who had just taken Qin Suisui hostage: "Break this hand too. From now on, no one, including them, is allowed to enter our territory again!"

Scarface responded respectfully.

Qin Suisui was completely unaware of the bloody storm that had ensued after she left. Once they reached a safe place, she happily shook Pei Jiuyan's hand: "Why did you come early!"

Seeing her so enthusiastic and happy, Pei Jiuyan realized that he hadn't been dreaming that day. He smiled and patted her head: "Work ended early."

Remembering Liu Qianyun's phone call yesterday, he paused for a moment: "After you finish your work, we may need to go back to Beijing first." After saying that, he looked at Qin Suisui's face: "If you don't want to, we can go directly to Guangzhou to attend the Canton Fair, and then go back to Qiongtan Island."

Qin Suisui was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Pei Jiuyan. Their trip to Beijing was not originally planned, and Pei Jiuyan's sudden request to return to Beijing probably meant that something had happened there.

Thinking this to herself, she asked the question aloud.

Pei Jiuyan hesitated for a moment before speaking with a hint of helplessness: "Mom called a couple of days ago and said that Grandma is sick."

Qin Suisui suddenly realized that Pei Jiuyan's father, Pei Huoshan, was the second child in his family. He was not favored at home when he was young and even "got lost" as a child. He was sold to Jiangcheng by human traffickers, but was unexpectedly rescued by the Liu family and grew up in the Liu family.

When Pei Huoshan was still working in Jiangcheng, their lives were relatively peaceful. After he was transferred back to Beijing, the elderly couple kept causing trouble, but fortunately, Pei Huoshan was decisive and protective of his own, and Liu Qianyun was a typical Jiangcheng woman with a fiery temper, so their family life wasn't too difficult. Later, when Pei Jiuyan grew up and became successful, the elderly couple became even more wary of him.

"Since Mom called and told us to go back, let's go back then." Qin Suisui felt that the old lady's antics this time were definitely aimed at her, and she couldn't let her parents-in-law take the blame for her.

Pei Jiuyan nodded and squeezed her hand: "Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to bully you."

It was getting late, so the couple bought some things and went straight back to Baihe Brigade. After introducing Pei Jiuyan to Aunt Zhang, they made an excuse that they had something to do and went directly to the cowshed under the cover of night.

Qin Xingzhi and Hua Qing were also surprised to see Pei Jiuyan. After all, their current status was sensitive, and if Pei Jiuyan got involved with them, it might affect their work.

While Qin Xingzhi was pulling Pei Jiuyan outside to talk, Hua Qing took Qin Suisui's hand and whispered, "Sweetie, did you and Ayan...do that?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Suisui blushed instantly, but still honestly shook her head.

Hua Qing smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear: "You two are husband and wife, so it's natural for you to do that kind of thing. Don't feel embarrassed. But remember, before you turn twenty, every time you do that kind of thing, you must have Ayan wear a contraceptive. You're still too young, and pregnancy is bad for your health."

Qin Suisui understood what her mother meant. Her mother was a gynecologist and had naturally seen many such cases.

She nodded solemnly. Even if her mother hadn't said anything, she had this plan. The work of planting medicinal herbs on Qiongtan Island had just begun. Whether it was planting medicinal herbs or foreign language translation, she would at least wait until her career was more stable before considering getting pregnant and having children.

If nothing unexpected happens, tonight should be the last time they meet. Tomorrow morning, the "ginseng research project" she is participating in will come to an end, and around 3 p.m. they will go directly to the town to take a bus to the city to catch the train to Beijing.

Remembering her previous "deal" with Xu Shouquan, Qin Suisui lowered her voice: "Mom, I guess Xu Shouquan will have someone transfer you and Dad to the ginseng project team to do some odd jobs in a few days. You can go without worry. Although the work there is trivial, it is still easier than cutting down trees. And I will feel more at ease sending you things in the future."

After finishing her story, fearing her mother would worry, she briefly recounted her deal with Xu Shouquan when Qin Xingzhi came in.

Hua Qing couldn't help but wipe away her tears: "My darling has grown up and is thinking about her parents now."

Qin Xingzhi nodded and said, "Don't worry, go back with Ayan. Dad will take good care of Mom. You should also take good care of yourself and wait for the day when our family can be reunited."

Pei Jiuyan also solemnly told his parents-in-law, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Sui Sui and never let her suffer any hardship."

The cowshed was a place of trouble and not a good place to stay. Qin Suisui and her companion left behind a pile of things and returned to the brigade leader's house under the cover of night.

The next morning, Pei Jiuyan went to town to visit his comrades. After finishing her work, Qin Suisui said goodbye to the project team. Cai Chong was very reluctant to see her go: "Comrade Qin, you're leaving already? That's too soon!"

After spending a few days together, his feelings for Qin Suisui went beyond mere superficial affection; he was filled with deep respect for her. This girl, younger than him, possessed a knowledge of medicinal herbs and pharmacology far exceeding his own.

Qin Suisui smiled gently: "I have learned a lot from everyone here. I have to rush back to prepare for our medicinal herb planting work. Once our medicinal herb garden has reached a certain scale, you are welcome to come and give us your opinions!"

As they parted, he winked at Xu Shouquan, reminding him not to forget their deal.

Xu Shouquan snorted coldly, turned his head away arrogantly, and said no more.

After saying goodbye to the work group, Qin Suisui went directly to the place where she had met Dahuang and Dahei before. Although they were different species, they had gotten along and cooperated very well over the past few days, and Qin Suisui felt that it was necessary to say goodbye to them.

The two little ones were already waiting for Qin Suisui at their "usual spot." As soon as they saw her, Dahei happily circled around and immediately lowered himself so she could ride on his back to find something delicious. Dahuang also chirped happily, urging her to hurry up.

Qin Suisui wasn't going to spoil the fun, so she rode in the "bear car" and cruised around the mountains for a while before stopping in a valley full of wild grapes.

As Qin Suisui picked the ripe wild grapes into her spatial dimension, she said goodbye to them: "Big Black, Big Yellow, I'm leaving this afternoon."

Seeing that they didn't quite understand, Qin Suisui explained again, "What I mean is, I'm leaving this place and I probably won't be back for a while! You all need to take good care of yourselves!"

The two little ones eating bananas paused, looking at her with disbelief, as if she were looking at a heartless man.

Qin Suisui was both amused and exasperated. She stroked one of the furry animals with one hand and explained, "I'm not from here. I've been here for a few days because of some business. I'm going home now."

After she finished speaking, Da Huang suddenly let out a few shrill "squeaks", then bit her clothes and refused to let go, and kept trying to snuggle into her arms, as if it wanted to follow her. Da Hei was also anxiously circling around, but it didn't dare to snuggle into her like Da Huang. It was big and would knock Qin Sui Sui over if it snuggled into her.

Qin Suisui chuckled, but still patiently explained to them, "I have to take the train when I go out, and there are many, many people with me, so I can't take you with me."

But Dahuang seemed not to understand, and kept snuggling into her arms, occasionally pointing to the enamel basin she brought out for them to drink water.

Qin Suisui suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "You mean, you want to go to my space and come with me?"

Big Yellow's anxious eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded quickly.

Qin Suisui hesitated for a moment: "Then shall we... give it a try?"

Neither the black nor the yellow person objected. Qin Suisui thought that she had previously thrown chicks, ducks, and seafood into her space, and even the unconscious Zhang Zhiqing into her space without any problems, so it should be fine.

So, holding one in each hand, he used his mind to bring the black and yellow ones into the space.

Qin Suisui's space is certainly not as large as Changbai Mountain, but it is not small either, especially the vast grassland. On the black soil opposite, thanks to her "diligence" these past few days, most of it has been planted with medicinal herbs. The large area at the edge of the black soil and where it connects to the waterfall has also been planted with various trees. Although there are no mountains, this place can truly be considered "livable".

As soon as Dahei and Dahuang entered the space, they started running around happily, especially when they saw the banana tree, the lychee tree, and the large patch of cucumbers and tomatoes.

They liked it here, and Qin Suisui was very happy. To be honest, after spending these few days with them, she was indeed a little reluctant to part with them. Taking them back would not only make it safer for her to go anywhere in the future, but she could also secretly leave them in the yard to "guard the house" when Pei Jiuyan wasn't home.

"Big Yellow and Big Black, are you sure you want to come back with me? My home is far away from here!"

The two little ones frolicked around the space for a while, then chased after the chickens and ducks for a bit, nodding happily at her with joy in their eyes.

Qin Suisui smiled and said, "Fine, if they want to come with me, then I'll take them back. If they want to come back later, I can just send them back myself."

Furthermore, these two are just common animals found in the mountains and forests, not protected species, so their impact is minimal. (Note: Black bears were only listed as protected animals in 1996, and yellow-throated martens were listed in 2008!)

I took the two little ones for a few more walks in the woods and collected some more trees from the mountain into my space, so that I could leave more memories for Big Black and Big Yellow.

Before midnight, Qin Suisui went straight down the mountain to the brigade leader's house, where Pei Jiuyan had already come to pick her up.
