Chapter 99
Xixi, with her small three-inch flesh, was completely unable to break free from the big hand behind her. Her entire face was not even as big as an adult's palm. She couldn't bite or kick anyone even if she wanted to.
Xixi suddenly felt her eyes go dark.
It's over.
"Are you scared now, little girl? Do you still dare to mess around?"
A familiar, smiling voice came from behind. Xixi's body froze, her mouth pursed, and tears quickly gathered in her eyes.
Feeling the heat on the back of his hand, Meng Mingxia panicked and immediately turned Xixi over and held her in his arms. He saw that Xixi's eyes were red and wet, and tears as big as beans were falling.
"Hey, dear, don't cry, don't cry. Uncle was wrong. He shouldn't have scared our Xixi."
The darling little baby was crying, and Meng Mingxia still remembered the intention of educating her. She immediately hugged the little one and coaxed her softly.
Xixi hugged her uncle's neck and cried, but her crying was very soft. She was worried that the noise would attract the attention of bad guys.
Meng Mingxia was on vacation and was planning to come to July 15 to visit his sister and niece. However, when he passed by the Li family, he noticed something was wrong inside.
He did not go in, but hid around and secretly observed what was happening inside.
Not long after, the little kids who went out to play came back, and he saw Xixi. He didn't say hello to Xixi for fear of attracting the attention of bad guys.
After a while, he saw a little fat boy walk into the Li family's house, and then he heard voices coming from inside, but they soon stopped.
At this time, Meng Mingxia was planning to climb over the wall from the back to see what was going on inside, but he saw Xixi, who was supposed to go home, had come back again.
He even stopped curiously at the door of Li's house, and seemed to want to go in and take a look. At that time, Meng Mingxia's heart almost stopped.
Fortunately, Xiao Hui was strong enough to pull the little guy away.
Just when Meng Mingxia was about to let go of his worry, the little Xixi came back again and hid in his hiding place, observing the Li family's movements stealthily like a little mouse.
Meng Mingxia: “…”
What kind of mother raises what kind of daughter.
Meng Mingxia was so angry that she almost laughed.
Judging from Xiao Hui's appearance, the little guy should have guessed that something was wrong with the Li family, but not only did he leave, he also sneaked back.
Look, he's still asking if he wants to follow.
After hearing this, Meng Mingxia made up his mind to teach this little thing a lesson and not think that he is so powerful just because he knows a little kung fu.
Then, the previous scene appeared.
However, Meng Mingxia finally softened her heart towards Xixi. When Xixi cried, he still remembered to teach her a lesson. His heart almost melted.
After a brief coaxing, Xixi was not an ignorant child. She knew that she had done something wrong and did not blame her uncle for scaring her.
Meng Mingxia sent Xixi to the door of Feng's house. She didn't go in to say hello. She patted her head and said, "Be good and stay home. Don't run around, or I'll tell your mother."
Knowing that now was not the time to be naughty, Xixi nodded obediently, "Uncle, be careful."
Meng Mingxia nodded, turned around and left without saying anything more.
Thanks to the snow last night, no one cleaned up the interconnected alleys, and the man in black who kidnapped Li Tao left traces on the snow.
If it were an ordinary person, he would naturally not be able to distinguish each other's footprints, but for Meng Mingxia, a soldier, he could clearly distinguish the footprints of other people and the previous man in black.
What is the basis for this? Meng Mingxia can judge a man's approximate weight based on his body shape, and then judge the depth of the man's feet in the snow based on his weight.
In addition, the other party was carrying a heavy child, so Meng Mingxia easily found the other party's tracks among the footprints.
My uncle left and my parents didn't come back. Xixi was a little scared and didn't dare to go to give money to Zhu Junze by herself. She stayed at her grandparents' house and waited for her parents to get off work.
Only after the couple returned home did Xixi dare to tell them what had happened today.
Meng Wanqiu: “!?”
Meng Wanqiu exploded, losing her temper for the first time. "Pei Jingxi, I think you've gotten really brave. You're so young, yet you dare to run into a dangerous place."
Xixi lowered her head, placed her small hands in front of her belly, pinched her fingers together, the pigtails on her head swayed, and she pursed her lips, not daring to make a sound.
Meng Wanqiu laughed angrily and pointed at the wall. "Go, stand over there and reflect on your mistakes. If you don't, you won't have dinner tonight."
Not allowed to eat, Xixi immediately raised her head and looked at Meng Wanqiu with a pout, looking aggrieved.
But Meng Wanqiu refused to look at her at all. Xixi pouted even more and looked at Pei Xingzhi with a pleading look.
"Dad~"
Before she could finish her words, Pei Xingzhi gently interrupted her, "Be good, listen to your mother and stand by the wall."
Woo woo woo, Xixi couldn't help it anymore, her eyes quickly became moist and red, crystal tears hung on her eyelashes, about to fall, she looked so pitiful.
Pei Xingzhi sighed, suppressed his heartache, and looked away, "Go and stand still!"
Okay, now I can’t hold back my tears anymore.
“Wuwuwu…”
Xixi closed her eyes and started crying, pinching her fingers and slowly moving to the corner. Facing the wall, her shoulders trembled. Pei Xingzhi turned his back and didn't dare to look at her anymore.
"Don't cry. If you cry again, the time will be doubled!" Meng Wanqiu said to Xixi.
Meng Wanqiu's words were useful. Xixi didn't dare to cry out loud anymore. It was just that when she wanted to cry but was not allowed to, it was not something she could control.
The little guy stopped crying, but the sound of his sniffling became louder and louder, and his little chest and shoulders twitched like a kitten whose fur was wet by the rain.
Meng Wanqiu felt a little distressed, but still didn't indulge her.
He stood up and pulled Pei Xingzhi out, "What's going on?"
Pei Xingzhi held Meng Wanqiu's hand and explained to her in a low voice, "Li Xuezhi is closing in."
Over the past few years, Leng Han has figured out who is behind Li Xuezhi. When the four-man gang collapsed last year, the forces behind Li Xuezhi were also affected. Internal problems arose and they began to fight for power.
As a result, Li Xuezhi had no time to worry about the problems here. He got less and less benefits and realized the problem. He began to worry that he would be implicated, so he planned to take his family away.
And since the end of Wen Ge, his father-in-law has also been greatly affected.
Those who had been criticized by them in the past were gradually rehabilitated, and some of those who had been bullied and had their families broken up were also ready to take revenge.
This is also the reason why Li Xuezhi and his wife took their son Li Tao back to their side.
Over the past few years, he is not stupid and has secretly collected a lot of evidence. Since he wants to leave, he must have enough money.
So, he planned to use the things he had collected over the years to extort money from the other party, and then take his wife and children away to Hong Kong.
However, Li Xuezhi's skills were still too simple for those specialized intelligence personnel.
The other party instantly understood Li Xuezhi's plan and comforted him on the surface, but in fact he had already intended to silence him.
However, Leng Han also kept a close eye on the movements of those people and captured Li Xuezhi before the other party took action. Once Li Xuezhi was captured, those people knew that their actions had been exposed.
But the evidence in Li Xuezhi's hands is very important. Once it is exposed, their boss will be finished, not to mention them, the minions.
So they sent people to capture Qu Miao, intending to use Qu Miao to threaten Li Xuezhi, but they were intercepted by Leng Han's men halfway.
But what Leng Han didn't expect was that the other party had someone hiding in the town, and they also went to Li's house and kidnapped Li Tao.
But, in the end, good will prevail over evil.
The people sent to capture Li Tao happened to meet Meng Mingxia, who was on vacation to visit her sister and niece.
After Meng Mingxia caught up with the man in black and fought with him, he rescued the fat boy Li Tao and successfully met up with Leng Han.
After finishing his work here, Meng Mingxia went home.
As I approached the yard, I saw the couple talking about something in the yard.
"Why are you outside? Aren't you cold?" Meng Mingxia was holding a wooden stick in his hand, which he picked up on the roadside. There were scratches all over his body from the stick on the way here.
"Second brother." Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi shouted in unison.
"Where's Xixi?" Meng Mingxia wasn't interested in the couple and shouted Guaiguai's name into the house, "Xixi, uncle is back!"
Hearing the noise outside, Xixi held her mouth and called out pitifully, "Uncle, I'm here."
As soon as Meng Mingxia entered, she saw the little baby standing by the wall with tears in his eyes, not daring to move a step. She immediately went over and picked him up.
"Who made us, Xixi, stand in the corner as punishment? Tell uncle, was it your father?"
Xixi hugged her uncle's shoulders, leaned close to his ear and shook her head softly, "No, it was Xixi who made the mistake."
"Is it something that happened today?"
Xixi pursed her lips and nodded gently.
"Alas, Xixi did make a mistake today, but it's enough to recognize the mistake. Don't do it again in the future."
"I know, I won't do that again."
"Oh, our Xixi is the most obedient and intelligent. Let me tell you a secret, your mother was even more aggressive than you when she was little."
Seeing this uncle and nephew talking about their dark history in front of her as if nothing had happened, Meng Wanqiu was really upset.
Pei Xingzhi pinched her face amusedly and pulled her towards the kitchen, "Come on, cook with me."
Meng Wanqiu snorted at him, "What do you mean by accompanying you? Are you afraid that I'll punish your daughter by making her stand in the corner?"
Pei Xingzhi shook his head righteously, "No way, in my heart, Wanwan, you will always be the most important."
Meng Wanqiu's lips curled up, "That's all I know how to say."
"These are not nice words, but words from the heart. Words that come straight from the heart."
After entering the kitchen, Pei Xingzhi hugged the person in his arms, holding her slender waist with his hands, rubbing their noses against each other's, their breath blending together, and whispering in their ears.
The last words disappeared between their lips.
"Second brother, why are you on vacation?" Meng Wanqiu poured a glass of water for Meng Mingxia before asking about his origins.
Meng Mingxia, with Xixi sitting in her arms, was having trouble moving. She took a sip of the water her sister poured before saying, "I was recommended by the team to attend military school. The commander gave me a few days off, so I'll be going to school next year."
Going to the military academy for further studies would make him a legitimate scholar upon graduation. This would be more beneficial to Meng Mingxia's future development. Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi were both happy for Meng Mingxia.
"That's great, second brother. Where is the military academy you went to?" Meng Wanqiu asked with a smile.
"In the capital," Meng Mingxia said cheerfully. He was quite happy to be able to study at a military academy in the capital. He added, "When you two and Fengdong are admitted to a university in the capital, we brothers and sisters can be together again."
Well, this is actually what Meng Mingxia is happy about.
"Oh, second brother, you are dreaming too much. I don't even know if you can pass the exam?" Meng Wanqiu supported his chin and said with a headache.
Pei Xingzhi patted her hand on the table and said, "It's okay. I gave you a very good score on the mock exam. You met the passing score."
Meng Wanqiu felt a little worried, as they were comparing the score lines from ten years ago, and no one knew the specific situation this year.
Xixi sat in her uncle's arms, holding a small spoon and scooping rice into her mouth, "Mom, Dad, and Uncle all want some. Are you going to college?"
There was still rice in his mouth, and he spoke incoherently.
Pei Xingzhi scooped a bowl of soup for Xixi and said, "Let's talk after you finish eating."
Xixi's mouth was full of oil from eating. Meng Mingxia wiped her mouth and said with a smile: "Yes, Xixi will go to school next year too."
After saying that, he turned around and asked Pei Xingzhi, "Uncle Pei is fine now. Xixi should be going to the capital to study by then."
Pei Xingzhi nodded. "That should be the case. I wonder if we can get the old house back. If we can, I will send Xixi to the school I attended when I was a child."
"That's good. The conditions in the capital are definitely better than here."
In fact, in recent years, the infrastructure of the 715 has been getting better and better. The 715 Children's School has been built, with junior high school and high school. Zhu Junze is studying in the junior high school.
Xixi tilted her head, holding her small bowl, and said, "Going to school, is it the same as Brother Junze?"
"Yeah, then we won't have to find someone to watch you all day." Meng Wanqiu said in a relieved tone.
Xixi grumbled, "I'm not being watched right now."
Meng Wanqiu scolded her, "How dare you say that after what you did today."
Xixi puffed up her face and looked at Meng Wanqiu angrily.
Pei Xingzhi's expression remained normal, but he was pinching Xixi's feet on the ground, "Ahem, hurry up and eat, or the food will get cold."
Meng Mingxia laughed beside him.
Meng Wanqiu looked at him, "What are you laughing at?"
Meng Mingxia laughed even more happily, "It's okay, I remembered a saying, evil will be punished by evil."
When Meng Wanqiu was a child, she had tormented him. Now that she had Xixi, someone finally tormented her.
Forehead--
Meng Wanqiu: “…”
What do you mean?
Pei Xingzhi silently raised the corners of his lips.
The college entrance examination is in two days. The factory has also taken into consideration the employees who are going to take the exam and given them two days off to allow them to prepare well.
Although the college entrance examination was reinstated, not many people from the July 15th group took it. One reason was that they had been out of school for so many years and had largely forgotten all the knowledge they had acquired. Another reason was that most of them were workers with stable jobs and did not want to bother taking the college entrance examination.
Only a few people are prepared to take the college entrance examination, are willing to work hard to learn again, and have the foresight to do so.
The college entrance examination venue was in the county, so the day before the exam, Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi went to the county first. The guesthouse near the examination venue was already full.
However, they have acquaintances in the county town, namely Aunt Wang's family. They have maintained a good relationship with each other in recent years, so they do not feel burdened to live in Aunt Wang's house.
During the days when Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi were not at home, Xixi was left in the care of her uncle Meng Mingxia, and the couple were both very relieved.
