Afterwards, Ding Qiunan ran out of the infirmary in a hurry to look for Li Qinghe, but she walked around the factory and couldn't find him.
After delivering the things to the Ding family, Li Qinghe went directly to the Pigeon Market and found the mark drawn by the man selling the golden horse in the alley. He also drew one and waited to purchase antiques.
When he returned to the factory, he ran to the toilet to chat with Nan Yi.
Ren Dingqiunan could never have imagined that he would go to the toilet to chat with someone.
In the afternoon, before getting off work, Li Qinghe went to Liang Ladi's workshop and learned that she had to work overtime in the evening. Director Liu would not assign her any tasks, so he had nothing to do in the factory and had to leave.
So, after get off work, Ding Qiunan waited at the factory gate early and searched for Li Qinghe among the crowd, but was destined to find nothing.
After arriving home, Ding Qiunan looked at the things filling the table in silence.
Ding's father and Ding Mu didn't say anything and just sat aside.
"I didn't find Li Qinghe this afternoon. I guess he was called by the factory director. I didn't see him after get off work either." Ding Qiunan sighed helplessly and began to pack up the things on the table. "How about this, let's pack up the things first, and I'll send them to him tomorrow. No matter what his purpose is, we can't take such valuable things from him."
Mother Ding looked at the good things that were put away, her eyes full of heartache, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Father Ding glanced at Mother Ding and stood up helplessly, "Qiu Nan, this..."
"Dad, what else is there? Don't tell me you want to keep the things. They are clearly trying to bribe you and my mom. In the end, they will still get me involved."
"How can you talk like that? They didn't come here for you. They came to visit me because they heard of my name. This is something a cultured person does. I'll tell you the truth. I don't agree to send the things back." Father Ding said unhappily, although he himself didn't quite believe what he said.
Before, in front of Li Qinghe, he could still be reserved for the sake of his few faces, but now there are no outsiders around and the things are in his pocket. Asking him to return it is like stabbing him in the heart.
Although I'm not sure if what the other party said about giving me a free meal after I finish eating is true, the food in front of me is really good stuff. If I use it sparingly, I wonder how long it will last.
"Give me a reason." Ding Qiunan confronted his father.
"Don't worry about his purpose. He has already delivered the goods without a receipt. Isn't it a sincere gift? Why shouldn't we accept it?"
Mother Ding also gained courage at this time, and whispered: "That's right, besides, he is just an electrician, what bad intentions can he have? He earns at least 30 yuan a month, which is more than 10 yuan higher than you. He has a decent job and a high salary. What are you dissatisfied with?"
Ding Qiunan's face flushed red, and she felt like she was shot in the back. "Dad, Mom, you're selling me out after only meeting me once? And you took so many things from me. How can I face them?"
She also knew that Li Qinghe was definitely a good match for her, but now that her parents had accepted so many things from him, how could she hold her head up in front of them in the future?
Another thing is, she hasn't reached that point with Li Qinghe yet.
Father Ding understood what he said, "Hmm? This... is really a problem.
"How about this, Qiunan? Let's write him an IOU. We can save up money over time and pay him back in installments. How about that?"
Ding Qiunan felt her head starting to hurt. "Mom, look at my dad. Why is he so greedy that he has to keep the things."
Mother Ding is no longer on Ding Qiunan's side and she poked Father Ding on the back with her hand.
Father Ding understood and smiled awkwardly, "Qiu Nan, I forgot to tell you, this afternoon, your mother and I were really hungry, so we stewed a chicken, and there is still some left in the pot, all for you.
"Well... even if you pay it back, you can't pay it back in full."
"......"
Ding Qiunan looked up at the sky in silence, wanting to ask God what sin he had committed in his previous life to have such parents.
Ever since something unexpected happened in the family, my father lost his status and job, and the character and bearing of a scholar are no longer visible at all.
She also remembered that she had eaten other people's chestnuts and eggs...
"I'm going to eat."
She decided to write an IOU to Li Qinghe tomorrow. At worst, she would just live frugally and try to pay him back.
There was a large bowl full of chicken soup, and the yellow fat on it made her swallow her saliva.
She picked up the chicken leg and took a bite. The long-lost fragrance filled her mouth and made her squint her eyes.
After a satisfying meal, he took a pen to write down everything and pouted, "This Li Qinghe is not a good person either. He actually tried to save the country in a roundabout way and bribed my parents by bypassing me."
But remembering it made her despair.
Although these things are only worth twenty or thirty yuan, she can pay them back in a few months if she works hard.
But these are not things that can be bought with money. She can find a way to get some meat coupons for chicken and meat, but canned food, biscuits, sugar and oil are all scarce supplies. How can she get them?
"It's okay, there must be a way."
I secretly encouraged myself and continued to take notes.
After finishing writing, he looked at the long list of names of various supplies and gritted his teeth, "Damn it, why did they send so many?"
......
Li Qinghe was riding his bike on the road and saw Damao and his two younger brothers picking up trash. He felt a little strange because they were asked to watch the chicken soup.
He waved, "Da Mao, come here quickly."
The three boys looked up, immediately smiled, and ran over happily.
"Uncle, you're off work."
"Yes, I just got off work. Didn't I tell you to watch the chicken soup? Why are you out again?"
"Uncle, the chicken soup is ready. If you keep cooking it any longer, the chicken will get mushy. We have nothing to do, so we came out to pick up some trash."
"Okay, give me the bag quickly and I'll take you home."
Li Qinghe touched their heads and hung the bag on the front of the car again.
Ermao and Sanmao sat on the front bar, Damao climbed onto the back seat, and Li Qinghe pushed hard, taking them to the dormitory.
The laughter of three children was spread along the way.
After returning to the yard, Li Qinghe decided not to eat chicken. He didn't dare to eat beef in the courtyard, but here he didn't have to worry too much.
He asked the three children to peel the potatoes first, and then he hurried away. Soon he came back with a large piece of beef, which seemed to weigh about three pounds.
The beef raised in this space is different. I didn’t notice it before, but now I find that it is fat and lean. When you cut it, you can see the beautiful marble texture. It will be a high-end beef in the future.
"Come on, Damao, wash the beef first, and then I'll stew it with potatoes for you to eat in the evening."
Li Qinghe chose the simplest way of eating. He was not a half-evolved savage and would not eat half-cooked meat. His ancestors had gone through untold hardships and sacrificed countless lives to finally allow descendants to eat cooked food. If they still ate raw meat, wouldn't so many people of their ancestors have died in vain?
