Mother Qiu quickly walked over to her daughter, grabbed her arm, and looked her over. She said with concern, "Jiayue! What happened to you? Why are you so disheveled? I remember your father and I told you to come back half an hour ago. How did you end up like this?"
The daughter's hair was a mess. Her originally long, black and smooth hair was now as messy as a ball of straw. Mother Qiu even noticed that her daughter was missing several strands of hair!
This, this, this...
It looked like Qiu Jiayue had rolled around in the grass, her hair was messy, and her whole body was covered with leaves and grass debris.
But……
How could someone lose so much hair after falling to the ground?
"Wow! Mom... wuuuuuu! It's Qin Suyun, it's Qin Suyun. She's bullying me again, wuuuuuu!" Qiu Jiayue was too embarrassed to say that she was bullied by two birds.
It was clearly just two parrots, but Qiu Jiayue had no idea what to do with them. Not only did she fail to pull off a single feather from the parrots, but they also ripped off a lot of their hair. She even had several holes pecked in the back of her clothes. Qiu Jiayue was so angry that her face turned green!
The reason why Qiu Jiayue came back half an hour later this time was because Zhazha was already impatient. In fact, if Zhazha really wanted to peck Qiu Jiayue, Qiu Jiayue's head would probably have been pecked by the two big parrots with bloody holes, instead of just losing some hair as it is now.
Large macaws like Cha Cha, before they mutate, have amazing bite force. Nuts that ordinary people cannot crack with their hands are like paper shells in front of the parrots, and they can easily peel them out in just a few bites.
Now that it has mutated, its body size has increased, and its bite force has naturally become stronger. To Zhazha now, the hard human skull is actually almost no different from a walnut. However, Qiu Jiayue does not know all this.
"Bully you? How did she bully you? How could she bully you?..." Mother Qiu was completely confused, her mind full of doubts.
After spending these days together, Mother Qiu also discovered what kind of person Qin Suyun is.
Aside from the first day when he had a conflict with his daughter, he was a relatively quiet person, even very hardworking! Besides liking to spend time with his cats and dogs and talking to them, they didn't chat very often, and he wasn't particularly proactive in chatting with everyone.
However, the vegetables and grains grown in their own homes will be brought out for everyone to enjoy.
This kind of person doesn't look like someone who would bully his own daughter for no reason, right?!
"Child, are you talking nonsense?" Father Qiu frowned sternly, his eyes fixed on his daughter. "The other family's cultivated land is all in the southwest, and our newly reclaimed wasteland is in the north. You don't need to pass through the other family's land when you come back from our reclaimed wasteland... Your mother and I just ran into Xiao He, who was delivering potatoes to our house on a tricycle. Xiao He said that the girl named Qin is still waiting in the fields."
"Just tell me the truth! What the hell is going on?!"
Qiu Jiayue, who had been living under her father's care for many years, felt her scalp numbing under her father's stern stare and was suddenly at a loss for words. With red eyes, she recounted to her father what had happened before with extreme grievance under her father's angry gaze, and even told him about her previous encounter with Aunt He.
Father Qiu was so angry at his daughter that he was speechless. He pointed at Qiu Jiayue and said, "You're already such a grown-up, and yet you're so childish as to start a fight with two birds! Birds don't know how to behave, but don't you know how to behave?! And most importantly, you're still talking bad about other people behind their backs! Is that what I taught you?"
Mr. Qiu was so angry that his face turned red and his tone of voice was extremely harsh. Qiu Jiayue's tears started streaming down her face and she felt extremely aggrieved.
Mother Qiu sighed, patted Father Qiu's arm and said, "Old Qiu, don't get so excited. You have coronary heart disease! What if you get too excited and have a heart attack? Jiayue is too spoiled. We'll teach her a lesson later... Please don't get so excited..."
…
As Qin Suyun and He Zhennan walked to the gate of their house, they heard a burst of angry shouting in the yard. The shouting was so loud that it was difficult for Qin Suyun to pretend not to hear it.
Qin Suyun touched her nose awkwardly, feeling that she was neither able to advance nor retreat.
There always seemed to be some incompatibility between him and that little girl named Qiu Jiayue. This was probably because of the two things she did that night when she first arrived.
only……
When did this Zhazha develop this habit of pulling people's hair? How come I didn't know about it before?
"What's wrong? Are you planning to wait before going in?" He Zhennan noticed the embarrassment on Qin Suyun's face and said with a smile, "Don't take this matter to heart at all. I'll go in first, and you can just wait two minutes before going in."
…
then.
Just as Mr. Qiu was about to continue lecturing his daughter, he heard a noise at the door and saw He Zhennan walking in pushing a tricycle full of potatoes.
Father Qiu quickly put down his raised finger, coughed awkwardly twice, and nodded at He Zhennan, "Xiao He, you're back."
"Yes, Uncle Qiu." He Zhennan didn't notice the embarrassment on Mr. and Mrs. Qiu's faces at all, and greeted the three of them very naturally.
"Well, since you're back, Xiao He, and your aunt has gone upstairs, your uncle Qiu and I were just taking a walk in the yard to digest the food. We ate too much at noon and had no desire to sleep." Mother Qiu also smiled awkwardly, pulled her daughter over, and went upstairs with her husband.
Thinking that the other party must have heard everything about their quarrel, Mrs. Qiu felt extremely embarrassed and just wanted to find an excuse to quickly return to the bedroom on the second floor.
"Okay, uncle and aunt, please make yourself at your leisure." He Zhennan nodded, very politely.
Knowing the embarrassment of the other family at the moment, He Zhennan did not stop Mother Qiu from pulling Father Qiu and Qiu Jiayue upstairs together. Instead, he curled the corners of his lips at them in a very considerate manner, not at all as serious as usual.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and Qin Suyun breathed a sigh of relief. After waiting for another two minutes, she walked into her own courtyard from the gate. Looking at the empty corridor, Qin Suyun followed He Zhennan to move all the potatoes off the tricycle.
"You haven't eaten yet? I'll go cook." Qin Suyun washed her hands and walked towards the kitchen.
These days, neither Qin Suyun nor He Zhennan and his group helped with work in the village. They were all working on their own fields.
Therefore, Qiu's mother and Lu Liqing, who originally only weeded for half a day, were busy working on the wasteland, and they didn't have much time to cook for everyone. After all, those reclaimed wastelands were their own fields, so how could they save energy at this time?
He Zhennan and his group of eight people, from Qin Suyun's point of view, the other eight people are one body, and the reclaimed wasteland must be used together.
However, in reality, these eight people were divided into three groups. Although they looked like they were all working on a piece of reclaimed wasteland, they had actually been separated in an orderly manner long ago. He Zhennan and Pang Xiong were together, Dongzi and his mother were also grouped together, and finally there were three people from the Qiu family and Cui Wen.
So, this is why everyone just eats something casually when they come back at noon these days, and only when everyone gets together in the evening will they clean up and eat together.
"I like the noodles you cook. How about you make some for me?" He Zhennan, completely oblivious to the meaning of politeness, said with a faint smile, "I ate there for a long time when I last stayed at your house. I kind of miss it now."
"Okay, I'll cook two bowls of noodles." Qin Suyun didn't plan to make it too complicated. It was already late, and it would be past one o'clock by the time she finished cooking and eating.
Qin Suyun walked into the kitchen, put on an apron, and took out fresh eggs and mushrooms from the refrigerator. She planned to make egg and mushroom noodles.
The mutated egg was very large. The egg that could originally be held in one hand now weighed more than half a pound. Although it was not as heavy as an ostrich egg, she could not finish such a large egg in one go.
Normally, egg noodles should be garnished with some green vegetables, but the vegetables grown in the fields now taste terrible. On the contrary, the mushrooms grown at home have become more delicious after mutation.
But before Qin Suyun could wash the mushrooms off her hands, the kitchen door behind her was pushed open again. Lu Liqing, wearing a dark long-sleeved suit, walked in. When she saw Qin Suyun, Lu Liqing's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Xiao Qin is back. It's time to cook noodles! Dongzi and I are planning to have noodles at noon today, so I might as well cook together." Lu Liqing said as she swiftly took the eggs and mushrooms from Qin Suyun's hand.
It is said that those who receive favors from others will be grateful, and those who eat from others will be soft-hearted. This is the case with Lu Liqing now.
Qin Suyun's house has a lot of food. In addition to the food on the third floor, she will always take out a lot of food whenever she eats and drinks with everyone. Sometimes, even if she is not eating with Lu Liqing, He Zhennan and others, she will take out some leftover food and give it to them.
Therefore, after Qin Suyun sent mushrooms three times and eggs once in a row, Lu Liqing and others felt a little embarrassed on weekdays.
Even though the food pressure is not so great due to the mutation of animals and plants, these mushroom eggs are still considered good things. Eggs are secondary. When He Zhennan, Dongzi and others go to the mountains, it is still easy to pick up bird eggs... Among them, the most important thing is those mushrooms. They are not as unpalatable as the mutated food outside in the fields. On the contrary, they taste excellent.
After the animals and plants mutated, it is extremely difficult to find vegetables that taste like this!
Anyway, Lu Liqing has never heard of anyone growing vegetables and grains that taste as good as before these days.
Since it cannot be found, it must be precious. So Lu Liqing is really grateful and soft-hearted. She should compensate the other party in other ways. She can't just take things for free, right?
