Chapter 34: Ungrateful Wolf
This incident did not have much impact on Qin Qing, so Secretary He just came over to say hello and remind him to open the school one day earlier.
It is very difficult for a family to support a child's education.
Qin Zhilin pondered for a long time before he made up his mind and said to his wife, "Starting from tomorrow, we will only eat two meals a day."
Because Qin Qing was in school, the task of cooking fell on Zhu Lihua.
The woman nodded, and counted the remaining money again and again with her scarred hands before putting it under the pillow, her eyes full of compromise with life.
The daughter left early in the morning, leaving Zhu Lihua to patiently explain to the two brothers about the cancellation of breakfast. The two children looked unhappy, but they could do nothing about it.
Even the dull stones have sensed something unusual these days.
Just like the days before fleeing the famine, everyone inexplicably became extremely cherishing of food in order to prepare for the coming famine.
Qin Qing followed Qin Yu to school with great interest. She received a lot of attention along the way, especially from the teachers. They looked at Qin Qing as if she were their own child, and some even secretly brought her food.
She didn't dare to ask for it.
Qin Tongtong's deskmate Xia Dong spotted Qin Qing with sharp eyes and clapped his hands excitedly.
"Ahhh, that's your sister!"
"How come you've become so beautiful after not seeing you for a few days?"
“So cute.”
Qin Qing had long since shed her previous scary skeleton look, and since she had rarely been out in the sun, she was even fairer and more delicate than her mother, and her appearance combined the best features of both.
A pair of peach blossom eyes are bright and charming, gentle and affectionate.
Even Song Huilan often sighed, thinking that Qin Qing was such a beautiful girl, she should have picked her up in the beginning, and she would have received a good betrothal gift when she grew up.
All in all, this deal is not a loss.
Qin Tongtong felt a little jealous, but she forgot that Qin Qing was popular with everyone in the first place only because of her good personality and excellent grades, and it had nothing to do with her appearance. Her current appearance was just the icing on the cake.
Seeing the two men coming over, she reluctantly said "Uncle."
Qin Zhilin smiled and said to his daughter, "Go play with your sister Tongtong. Dad will be gone first."
It seems like he won't be bothered to delay any longer.
Xia Dong, contrary to her usual behavior, took Qin Qing's hand, squeezed it, and exclaimed, "So soft!"
Qin Qing: "..."
Qin Tongtong: “…”
Qin Qing pulled his hand away unnaturally. There was something wrong with the scene, especially when he saw the slightly regretful expression on Xia Dong's face.
There was a crack on her face, which was always full of smiles, and it looked like she was about to give up.
Someone actually reached out his hand again.
A hand slapped up, and Qin Tongtong glared at Xia Dong with a ferocious look on her face, "Aren't you disgusting?"
Hou Yi touched the back of his hand that was hurt by the slap with a look of grievance, and said with a sad face, "I just want to know how she maintains her white skin."
This scene seemed familiar. Qin Qing's mouth twitched, and he suddenly remembered the first time he had an argument with Yang Liansheng.
Qin Tongtong behind him said with disgust, "You definitely can't sunbathe then. Look at your arms, they're all flaky and peeling. Are you still a girl?"
Xia Dong said with a bitter face, "Originally, my father was planning to ask my family to earn work points. Thanks to my mother's efforts, otherwise you would have had to come to the underground to look for me..."
Qin Tongtong expressed shock.
On the other side, Zhu Lihua drank a few bowls of cold water and took her two brothers to work early. The morning mist had not yet dissipated.
In the vast fog, there was a crackling sound of digging. Someone had arrived earlier than them.
When she got closer, Zhu Lihua realized that the man was Yang Liansheng.
The boy was really hardworking and probably left the house before dawn.
Just as she passed by the young man, Zhu Lihua inexplicably remembered where the strange spot was.
