Chapter 102 So many!

Li Lu seems to be nonchalant, but his eyes are clear.

"She doesn't look serious." Grandma slapped Li Lu on the back, "Take a closer look at who she is."

"Who is it? If I have seen such a pretty girl before, there is no reason why I have no impression of her." Puzzled expression flashed in Li Lu's eyes. "She looks familiar, so white... She must have come with cousin Amo... There should be no other person except Qiqi."

"Second cousin." Lin Qi greeted the other party with a smile.

"Really!" Li Lu exclaimed in amazement, "This change is too big. I haven't seen her for half a year, and she has grown from a little girl to a big girl."

Lin Qi didn't respond and just sat there letting the other person look at her.

"But he's still the same as before, very well behaved." Li Lu sighed, took out fifty cents from his pocket, and stuffed it into Lin Qi's hand, "Use it to buy some candy."

Lin Qi accepted it and said, "Thank you, second cousin."

"Be good." Li Lu wanted to touch Lin Qi's head, but he pulled his hand back halfway. "You two should stay here for dinner tonight. I'll go buy some meat now."

"Why buy meat? They've sold out so early in the morning. At this time, not to mention meat, there's not even a bone left." My aunt came in with a basket carrying a plate of fried fish. Seeing Lin Qi and Ah Mo, my aunt was startled, "Ah Mo, is this your girlfriend? She's so pretty."

Lin Mo's forehead was full of black lines, "Aunt, take another look, we do look a bit similar."

"What's the big deal? It's normal for good-looking people to look alike." My aunt said carelessly, not thinking about anything else. "You and your partner will have dinner at my house tonight. I'll go cook now."

Lin Mo covered his face, they are brother and sister!

Li Lu tried to hold back his laughter, and quickly grabbed three small fish from the basket. He gave one to Grandma, one to Lin Qi, and the last one to himself. "This fish is so delicious. Mom, where did you get it?"

"Over at Nanqiao, there's a new temporary market there. It's said to be open for four days, from today to the second day of the Lunar New Year." Aunt said. She put the plate of fish on the table and called Lin Mo and Lin Qi, "You can eat it as a snack. Don't be polite."

As she said that, she was going to the kitchen.

Lin Mo stopped her and said, "Aunt, we have some snacks in our backpack. Qiqi brought them back. Please sit down and have a taste."

My aunt was stunned. "Qiqi is back? Where is she?"

"Mom, Qiqi is right in front of us. Please take another closer look at the one in front of you." Li Lu was a little proud. "I can tell at a glance. You don't have good eyesight."

My aunt was stunned. "This is really Qiqi. She has become better!"

"Who has become better?" Three more people came in from outside the door, one was my uncle, one was my eldest cousin Li Pan, and one was my eldest cousin's wife.

My uncle is in his forties and looks about the same age as Lin’s father. He and my aunt both work in a furniture factory.

My eldest cousin Li Pan is 25 years old, with an above-average appearance. He is an elementary school teacher and gives people a rather elegant impression. My eldest cousin's wife is tall and thin, with an average appearance, and has a rather strong aura. She is also a teacher and a colleague of my eldest cousin. They have been married for five years and still have no children.

The three of them saw Lin Qi as soon as they entered the room. She was sitting there, glowing white. They couldn't help but pay attention to her.

When they learned that this was Lin Qi, they all showed varying degrees of surprise.

For a moment, they didn't know what to say to this unrealistically beautiful girl in front of them, and even their expressions became a little cautious.

Lin Mo looked at this scene and said helplessly, "Uncle and aunt, cousin and cousin's wife, this is our Qiqi, you don't have to be so restrained."

"Are you really fine? Are you able to be stimulated? Is there anything you can't mention or say?" asked cousin Li Pan.

"No. Uncle, aunt, cousin, just treat me as a normal person." Lin Qi smiled faintly.

With her words, everyone felt a lot more relaxed.

But the atmosphere is still a little strange.

"Amo, didn't you say that Qiqi brought something back? Come and take it out and show it to everyone." Grandma broke the silence.

"Okay, grandma." Lin Mo agreed and took out the things in the backpack one by one. "This one is jujube honey, which is similar to honey and very sweet. You can drink it with water. This is wine, made by Qiqi from grapes picked in the mountains. Our family drank it yesterday. It is very mellow and not sour at all. These are persimmon cakes. They are different from the persimmon cakes we usually eat. This one is more fragrant, sweeter, and has thicker flesh. These are hawthorns and raisins, which are several times more delicious than those sold in the supply and marketing cooperative. This is a sheep's hind leg, from a wild goat. The last bag is rice, which is grown in the countryside where Qiqi went. I'll give you some to try as well."

"Why did you bring so many things!" Grandma said with a hint of disapproval in her tone.

"Yes, why did you bring so many things here?" Li Lu also agreed, but his eyes remained on the bottle of wine.

"Is this lamb hind leg also brought back by Qiqi? It must be about 20 kilograms, and it was all brought here. What are you going to eat?" The aunt knew that her sister-in-law's family was not well off, and she was surprised to see so much meat.

"There are still a lot at home. Qiqi brought a lot of things back this time. We only brought a little bit here." As for how much they brought back, Lin Mo did not elaborate.

"Really?" My aunt didn't believe it.

"Amo, you are lying. How much can Qiqi carry by herself?" Li Lu didn't believe it either.

Uncle: "We are poor in the countryside, so we can't bring much."

Aunt: "I will cook half of the goat meat, and you can take the remaining half back later."

My cousin and his wife: "It's really too much."

"We didn't bring much. Qiqi brought back a sheep." Lin Mo said.

Others: “….”

Lin Qi and Lin Mo were left behind for dinner.

Dinner consisted of lamb stewed with white radish, fried fish with chili peppers, stir-fried meat with lettuce, stir-fried lettuce, pickled spicy cabbage, and a winter melon soup.

There aren't many types of dishes, but the portions are quite generous. My aunt is a good cook. Today, Lin Qi and Lin Mo came, and she put enough oil in every dish, making it very fragrant.

"Qiqi and A-Mo, how about you come here every day?" Li Lu suggested.

Lin Mo was puzzled, "Why do you come here every day?"

"You come here every day, and my mother is willing to add oil and salt every day." Li Lu said seriously.

Lin Mo shook his head. "It's not realistic for us to come here every day. Why don't you work harder and become a regular employee sooner? With a higher salary, you can buy more oil and salt. Your aunt will definitely be willing to use more."

Li Lu: “…..Just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Aunt: "Your cousin is right. As long as you buy it, I will definitely put more."

At the end of dinner, except for Lin Qi and Lin Mo, everyone else was a little full. They finished the whole pot of stewed mutton with white radish, without even leaving any soup.

"This mutton has no smell at all, it's very delicious and has a sweet taste," commented Li Lu.

It was also the first time that Lin Mo ate the mutton that Lin Qi brought back. "Maybe it's because it's a wild goat."

"Qiqi, did you really bring back a whole sheep?" Li Lu swallowed, he still wanted to eat.

Lin Qi nodded, "If cousin wants to eat more, I'll remind mom to bring some more on the second day of the Chinese New Year."

"That's so embarrassing." Li Lu's eyes lit up.

"Greedy cat." Auntie slapped Li Lu on the back and said to Lin Qi, "Don't listen to him. Auntie only cooked half of it. If you want to eat it, Auntie will cook it for you tomorrow."

Lin Qi smiled and didn't respond.

When we came out of my grandmother's house, it was already dark.

Lin Qi and Lin Mo were rushing towards home. When they were almost home, they met Zou Fan who was on his way to work.

Zou Fan was a little surprised to see Lin Qi. They had never met before, but now they met again after more than ten hours. Is this fate?

"Brother, this is Officer Zou. He was the one who sent me back from the train station that night." Lin Qi said.

Lin Mo's eyes flashed with surprise, "Why didn't you tell me last night? Officer Zou sent you back, we should come to thank you."

"You're welcome. Lin Qi and I are going the same way. I just walked a few more steps to see her off. It's not worth your attention." Zou Fan said politely, "Okay, I'm in a hurry, so I'll leave first. See you guys someday."

Lin Mo watched Zou Fan walk away, and it took a long time before he looked away.

"Brother, do you know this Officer Zou?" Lin Qi was curious.

"Miao Miao has taken a liking to him and is asking someone to introduce him to her." Lin Mo said. His sister has been selfish since she was a child, but she is also smart and has a good eye for people.

Zou Fan is 21 years old this year. His parents both have jobs, and his older brother and sister also have jobs, so his family has almost no burden. There are many people in the nearby streets who like Zou Fan.

However, Zou Fan had high standards and didn't like anyone.

Lin Qi raised her eyebrows, "Brother, are you planning to help me bring them together?"

"No." Lin Mo shook his head. "I want to remind you not to tell anyone about your acquaintance with Chief Zou when you get home, otherwise your sister will definitely come to bother you. Your sister is a lazy person who hates work. She is not a good candidate for a partner."

Lin Qi blinked, a little surprised that Lin Mo would comment on Lin Miaomiao in this way, after all, she was his own sister!

"That's her nature. I'm not wrong." Lin Mo said indifferently.

Lin Qi coughed twice and did not comment.

The next morning, Lin Qi and Lin Mo had breakfast and told Lin's parents that they were going out to play. They tacitly did not mention Li Min.

"It's time to go out for a walk. Qiqi, you may still be unfamiliar with Zhoucheng. Ask your brother to take you to visit more places." Mother Lin advised.

Lin Qi hummed twice, "My brother plans to take me to the movies."

Lin Mo: “…” It was obviously you who said you wanted to see a movie.

"It's good to go to the movies, but it's a holiday now, so there may be a lot of people. If you can't buy a ticket, ask your brother to take you to the supply and marketing cooperative, to a restaurant, and have a good meal. Mom will get you the money and tickets."

"No need to take it, I have it." Lin Mo took out a large stack of money and bills from his pocket. At a glance, there were six or seven Great Unity bills and even more receipts, with a very complete variety.

Mother Lin was dumbfounded, "Why are there so many?"

Lin Mo was also surprised. "You grabbed so many with just a casual grab. How much do you have in your pocket?"

"I only had a few hundred dollars in cash on me, but I didn't bring many tickets. But when I came back and searched my clothes pockets, I found a lot more tickets. They must have been put in by my partner." Lin Qi said.

Lin Ma, Lin Mo: “….”
