Li Sisi exclaimed, "Huh?" "Why does Aunt Pei sound like she's talking about good news?"
The two best friends both looked towards the entrance of the hall.
Then Aunt Pei walked in cheerfully from outside, saying, "Girls, it's clear now. The government made a mistake!"
Pei Yu'an followed closely behind Aunt Pei, his eyes fixed on Li Sisi's face, and he said in a comforting tone, "It's a good thing I made this trip. Did I make you worried?"
Aunt Pei hurried over with a bright smile on her face, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes squeezed into fishtail shapes. "Thank goodness! That kid has some conscience and isn't completely stupid yet!"
She placed the two identity documents on the table and almost sang with joy: "From now on, you can live here with peace of mind! This is your home!"
The two best friends picked up the identity documents and looked at them in surprise.
I thought it was a disaster, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be good news!
Li Sisi put down the paperwork and took Aunt Pei's arm: "Aunt Pei, Second Brother Pei, thank you! I'm so happy!"
She pursed her lips, looked up at Aunt Pei, and said in a coquettish and aggrieved tone, "I like you guys very much, I like the Northwest very much. I thought I was going to be chased away!"
Aunt Pei's heart melted. She had raised two sons and had always wanted a daughter, but her husband passed away early, so there was no chance. For so many years, she envied others for having daughters, and her spoiled little appearance always made her jealous.
Now she was being stared at by Li Sisi's clear big eyes. The fair and pretty girl was acting coquettishly to her in a soft voice. She really had no resistance at all.
Aunt Pei touched her head distressedly and comforted her gently, "Oh, it's okay. When your brother Pei comes back later, I will definitely talk to him. There's no way he's so scary!"
Li Sisi just casually said a few words, but she didn't expect Aunt Pei to blame Pei Yanli. She immediately stopped him and said, "No need!"
Afraid that Aunt Pei would really scold Pei Yanli, she said gratefully, "Brother Pei is willing to help us. My sister and I are very grateful to him. Aunt Pei, you can't blame Brother Pei, otherwise my conscience will hurt!"
Li Nian also echoed, "Yes, after all, Brother Pei works in the government office and has no control over many things. We are very grateful for the result now." If Pei Yanli regretted his decision because of a few words from Aunt Pei, it would be a waste of time.
When Aunt Pei heard what the two sisters said, she was so happy. She had to help her son keep such a considerate girl!
She smiled and touched Li Sisi's hand: "Oh, good girls, you two are good girls." Feeling the delicate touch of her palm, Aunt Pei felt more and more satisfied. This little hand is so smooth! In the future, it will definitely charm her rough son to death!
She was filled with joy and said to Li Sisi, "I'm going to make lunch now. You can eat with us later."
Li Nian quickly refused: "No, we've already troubled you a lot, we can just have lunch in our own courtyard."
"Hey, what's the big deal? I just made a meal. My family's Yanli scared you today. Just think of this meal as my apology to you on his behalf."
Aunt Pei looked at Li Nian. This girl was nice, but she was too polite. She still liked girls like Sisi, who were open and straightforward.
"No, we should thank Brother Pei."
The two best friends tried to decline a few more times, but they couldn't refuse the kindness. Their combined words couldn't stop Aunt Pei's enthusiasm, and Pei Yu'an was there to help them.
In the end, the two best friends had to go to Pei's front yard for lunch again.
"Auntie, wait for me!"
Li Sisi took out a bowl of rice from her kitchen and said a little embarrassedly, "I'll go cook with you. I want to eat some rice for lunch today."
They have been eating noodles for several days in a row. If they don't eat some rice, they will suffer from anorexia. Nian Nian's appetite has obviously been getting worse in the past few days.
When Aunt Pei saw the rice in her hand, she suddenly remembered what people said: people in the south eat rice for every meal.
"Oh, look, I forgot about this!" She reached out and took the bowl from Li Sisi. "From now on, I'll make rice for you every meal!"
She looked down at the rice in the bowl and her heart skipped a beat.
This is polished rice!
Rice is not produced in the northwest, and the rice sold in the shops is all shipped from the south, so the price is not cheap.
Coarse flour cost 8 wen per jin, and fine flour cost 35 wen per jin. However, the price of rice has more than doubled, with brown rice costing 30 wen per jin and polished rice costing 70 wen per jin.
Aunt Pei thought of her youngest son's kind and generous nature. When he treated poor people, if they had no money, Pei Yu'an would even pay for the medicine to treat them.
Every time Pei Yu'an went home, it would be a huge expense. When he didn't go home and just stayed in the military camp, it was fine and he didn't have to spend any money.
No, he had to tell his son that he had to save money in the future and not pay for other people’s medical treatment anymore!
You have to save all the money to marry a wife and support her!
Li Sisi was helping Aunt Pei cook in the kitchen. When the food was on the table, Pei Yanli came back exhausted.
He was a little surprised to see Li Nian and Li Sisi in the room. He thought that after what had just happened, the two girls would definitely look at him with disgust and scorn.
Seeing Li Sisi looking at him with a bright smile, Pei Yanli frowned slightly. Why did it seem like she was very grateful to him?
"Brother Pei, you have worked hard today. Please sit down and have your meal!" Li Sisi said cheerfully, and diligently set the table for him.
Pei Yanli looked at her quietly, his dark eyes full of doubts.
"Thank you." He sat in his seat, took the things Li Sisi handed over with both hands, and said politely, "I can do it myself."
Li Sisi smiled and replied "Okay", then she picked up some food for him with a bright smile and said gratefully in a clear voice, "Thanks to your help, Brother Pei, today's matter was resolved. My sister and I don't know how to thank you enough!"
Pei Yanli understood immediately after hearing this. So they thought that he was the one who secretly helped with the identity documents today?
A doubt flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly without changing his expression, his gaze falling on Li Sisi, who had a happy face.
He spoke naturally, "Miss Sisi, the government office is short of staff lately. I think you are smart and quick-witted. The idea you mentioned last time about ghost lights is quite novel. And the case of the haunting in Old Man Wang's house is still a mystery. I wonder if you would be willing to work in the government office?"
Li Sisi's chewing suddenly stopped, her bright eyes full of surprise.
Li Sisi quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and said hurriedly, "Brother Pei, I can't do this. I have never been an official before, let alone experience in handling cases. The viewpoint I expressed last time was also seen in a miscellaneous book. I am afraid I am not qualified for such an important official position."
It's okay to let her play suspense and puzzle games, but forget it if she really wants to solve a case, she doesn't have the brains for it.
