Ge Mei ran away feeling guilty. Without the annoying person around, Meng Qidi found a deserted place to pack up her things after dinner, then carried the little girl to find the stove.

It was a bit difficult to find the stove she wanted. Meng Qidi searched half of the county but couldn't find one. Unfortunately, there was no space.

Unable to find it, Meng Qidi had to go find a blacksmith, who drew a simple stove that could light a fire and supply gas.

"Master, can you fight?"

The blacksmith looked at the blueprint for a long time before he managed to say, "This will cost extra."

"How much?"

"Five dollars, I'll give it to you."

Meng Qidi glanced at the sky outside and asked, "When will it be better?"

"It's hard to say, at least seven or eight days."

Meng Qidi frowned slightly, "I'll give you two more dollars and send it back to me?"

The blacksmith hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly, "Okay, since you trust me, I will definitely send it over after it's done."

After leaving her address with the master, Meng Qidi carried the sleepy little girl in her arms and took the bus back.

A few days later, Meng Qidi received a call saying that the goods had been sent over a day ago and asked her to go to the town to pick them up.

While getting the things, she called Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao had just arrived. Meng Qidi waited for a few minutes and then the phone rang.

"Xiao Qi, I have arrived safely, don't worry, leader."

Meng Qidi rolled her eyes. "Is the fish dead? It's cold, so it shouldn't stink, right?"

There are still some fish in the pond. I will catch some from the stream in a few days and catch the ones in the pond as well. They can be made into cured fish.

Last time, the underground river was blown up, and a lot of big fat fish rushed out of it. Maybe it was because of the special quality of her water, those fish stayed at the outlet under the pond...

"They are not dead, they are all alive and well. Those guys stopped one day to change the water, and sprinkled water on the lotus roots, so they are well preserved. We planned to make a meal for lunch. Those people heard that my sister-in-law planted them, so they were particularly curious."

Ling Xiao was filled with joy. The lotus root at home was a little special. However, when it was delivered last time, no one noticed anything wrong with it. It just tasted particularly refreshing and delicious.

"Don't spread rumors like my sister-in-law planted it. By the way, let me ask you something. Did you take the college entrance examination in Beijing? How did you prepare?"

"Ahem, it should be possible. I'm in Jing City and won't go back. After the exam, tell me what we need to prepare in our room and I'll make it up for you."

Meng Qidi turned her head and looked around. Seeing no one around, she lowered her voice and said, "Ling Xiao, I have something to tell you. Don't forget, we agreed to divorce in a year."

His legs and the old lady's eyes were cured, and the family was back on track. Logically, she could retire.

Ling Xiao was slightly stunned, then chuckled, "Xiao Qi, there is something I forgot to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Meng Qidi had a bad feeling in her heart. He wanted to go back on his word? !

"We are a military marriage. My boss said I had gone through a lot of trouble to marry a wife, and my application for divorce was rejected."

Meng Qidi didn't believe what Ling Xiao said at all. Her leader was really nosy.

"It's a lie! Do you think I will believe it?"

Ling Xiao's voice softened a little, "We are getting along well, why do you have to get a divorce? Do you dislike me? Or do you dislike having an old man and a young child?"

Meng Qidi...

How should she respond to this... I wonder if it is convincing that a country girl like her is not worthy of him?

"What about your home? You made it so beautiful, are you willing to give it up? The pond, the house, the bamboo, the tea trees, the bridge... I thought you had already regarded it as your home, you put so much effort into it, and worked so hard..."

Home? Meng Qidi was slightly stunned. She herself hadn't realized that she regarded that place as her home. If she were to talk about it carefully, she remembered every corner of the house and outside the house. She even knew how many wild chrysanthemums were blooming at the bridgehead...

Did she put in a lot of effort? Of course she did. She put a lot of thought into every detail of the house, and even thought about planting a row of spider plants or various beautiful flowers and plants on the roof in her spare time.

There is still no time to reclaim the two hills on the west side.

She had been thinking about telling the little girl a joke about the handprints she had made when she grew up...

The other end sighed again, "Okay, then I'll go talk to my boss. Don't tell mom about this. I'll tell you if we're going to move out in the future. I don't plan to get married anyway, so I'll just raise Orange and Little Orange..."

Meng Qidi was silent. There was no need to speak so miserably, right?

"Since you are planning to divorce, there is no point in me taking the military academy entrance exam and returning to the army. When I apply for the divorce certificate, I will also transfer to civilian work."

Ling Xiao's voice sounded somewhat decadent, lacking the previous high spirits.

Meng Qidi couldn't help but wonder if he was just like that. She felt that she had committed a grave sin when he spoke like that...

Ling Xiao felt very nervous as the other end kept talking. Could this woman really be so cruel as to abandon her husband and niece?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speak out, "Let's stop here today, Xiaoqi. You've been working hard on family matters these days. I promised you that I will definitely set you free. I'm hanging up now..."

"Wait! Ling Xiao, can't you live for yourself? How can you give up your dreams?"

"That's your dream." Ling Xiao's voice was heavy and bitter, "Don't you know? Ever since you ran into my ward, my dream has become you."

As soon as these words fell, Meng Qidi's mind exploded with a buzzing sound. She felt a little dizzy and her cheeks turned red instantly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" He said angrily and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Sitting in front of the phone for a long time, Meng Qidi's mind was full of Ling Xiao's words, "My dream has become you."

"Comrade, that's two dollars."

Meng Qidi came back to her senses, the blush on her face had not yet faded. She quickly took out two dollars, handed it over, and ran out in a panic.

This was the first time she had lived two lives and been told so bluntly... Pah! What did he say? Nothing! Stop being so sentimental!

Meng Qidi suppressed the restlessness in her heart and looked around, only to find that she had already left the supply and marketing cooperative. She was too embarrassed to go back and make a phone call.

Here, the phone was hung up abruptly, but Ling Xiao smiled with tenderness in his eyes. This idiot, it will be even more difficult for him to get a divorce in the future.

However, this won't work, he has to dissuade her from doing this. It's scary for a woman to have this idea these days.

"Captain, why are you smiling so happily when your sister-in-law wants a divorce?"

Shen Xing asked curiously. Although he couldn't hear what was said on the other end at the door, he could hear the boss' words clearly.

Ling Xiao walked out calmly, "You didn't hear anything. Divorce? Do you think it's possible?"

Shen Xing...

Why does he feel that this person is a bit of a scoundrel...

"Why are you in a daze? Hurry up and catch up."

"Coming." Shen Xing hurriedly caught up.
