Chapter 81 Chapter 81 Whoever marries you will be blessed...
After working non-stop in the tutoring class for five days, I finally got a day off.
But it’s not a complete rest, because I have to go back to school at night to continue my evening self-study.
Hearing that Shen Miao was coming back today, Shen Shansheng went to buy a few pounds of spare ribs early in the morning. They were the finely chopped spare ribs that Shen Miao loved to eat the most. Wang Dongmei also put out the pastries that she bought at the market two days ago. They were the chestnut filling that Shen Miao had been thinking about for a long time.
Shen Wanshan was not idle either, he found out the few medical books that Shen Miao had not taken away last time. In the past few days, he completed the blurred parts, just like before, still writing circles, crosses and squares, but Shen Miao could understand it.
"Cheers~"
"cheers!"
When the icy-cold soda and beer collide, rich foam rises, which is a unique coolness in summer.
Having not been home for a week, Shen Miao had a lot of things to share with them, but her mouth, which also missed her mother's cooking, was constantly smacking the delicious food she had prepared all morning.
"Grandma Qin is so nice to me. She asks me what I want to eat every day... Baji Baji... She also orders a bottle of milk for me and asks Auntie to make milk for me every morning."
"My uncle is busy with work. I think he was in a meeting. He hasn't been home for a week... bah bah... But he calls grandma every day."
"I'm pretty used to living here. I'm either reviewing and practicing at school or reading and sleeping at home... bah bah... ah, it feels like I haven't been out to play for a long time."
When I think about it, this week has passed so quickly. It seems like it was just yesterday that the whole family went to register for admission.
"Where's Lu Xin? And that Qin Xiaokun?" After adding a spoonful of food to Shen Miao's bowl, Shen Wanshan asked again, "Did they do anything to trip you up?"
“No.” Shen Miao answered simply.
To be honest, Shen Miao was indeed afraid that Qin Xiaokun would make things difficult for her at first, but after a week of getting along, she found that he was equally strict with everyone, but his requirements for himself were a little higher.
Yes, it is demanding.
There is a difference between having high demands and making things difficult for others.
For example, when I ask questions normally, six out of ten times I will answer them in a subtle way, and I will not ask simple questions, but rather more complex ones.
However, this did not pose any difficulty to Shen Miao, because these were necessary knowledge, and most of them were real questions from previous exams, so he could basically answer them fluently.
When her answers satisfied him, he would praise her generously in public, and sometimes ask her to share her understanding. If she couldn't answer one or two questions occasionally, he would not blame her, but would remind her to review the relevant points more.
A strict teacher produces excellent students.
This week alone, she discovered that she had made several mistakes, so Shen Miao wished that he would be stricter with her in class.
As for why Shen Miao felt that he had never targeted her, it was probably because of that red card.
According to the information that Shen Miao got from other people, he heard that he applied for his second “bad” and the “award” from the teaching group, especially the “award”, which he won after a long argument with several teachers.
If he really didn't like me and just wanted me to give up and leave quickly, why would he help me get this rare red card?
Therefore, Shen Miao felt that Qin Xiaokun might just be a simple “stubborn” person. One is one, two is two; right is right, wrong is wrong. He might not do things beautifully, but he is absolutely fair in his heart.
And Luxin...
“Lu Xin is also quite good,” chewing the rice in his mouth, Shen Miao thought for a long time, and continued, “Well… I feel that he should not be the kind of person like his grandfather who likes to compare, compete, and must win.”
The “other person” who revealed the red card news to Shen Miao was referring to Lu Xin.
Lu Xin knew Shen Miao’s identity from the beginning, but he did not show any hostility or desire to win.
It can be seen from the fact that he came to tutoring in a lazy manner every day, either sleeping or drawing, and never doing any serious work, that he did not take the competitive spirit of his ancestors to heart at all, and did not regard Shen Miao as his opponent.
He would call her "Sister, Sister" all day long, or share the snacks hidden in his bag with her, just like a little kid. If you didn't say that he was a medical genius, people who didn't know him would think he came from some adult after-school care center by mistake.
It’s strange to say, because a genius like him should often be called upon by the teacher to answer questions, so that ordinary people can feel the gap between themselves and the genius.
But no matter whether it was a theory class, a pharmacology class, or a practical class, Lu Xin was never called on by the teacher, and no matter what he did, the teacher would not care as long as it was not too excessive.
It was such a low-key person who got the first place in the after-school test on Thursday: 98 points.
Shen Miao was second with ninety-two points.
After the papers were handed out, Shen Miao took a look at his paper and found that he had indeed answered well and completed it in one go, just like the papers he had received before, with neat and clean handwriting and almost no traces of erasures.
No wonder the teacher is so tolerant of him, maybe this is the treatment a genius deserves.
Since Shen Miao said that she was not targeted and Lu Xin was also easy to get along with, Shen Wanshan and Shen Shansheng felt relieved, "That's fine, as long as you don't compete, it's not bad to be an ordinary friend."
"I dried some sausages a few days ago. Remember to bring them back to your grandma this afternoon." Wang Dongmei reminded, "I also dried some osmanthus flowers and wild vegetables. Take more."
Shen Wanshan: “I have also packed the tea bags for Wumei Soup and Jianpi Drink, I will go to the clinic to get them later.”
"Uh-huh."
Qin He was good to Shen Miao, so they couldn't just express their gratitude.
Since she refused to accept money, she had no choice but to ask Shen Miao to bring her something every week. Although it was not worth much, it was at least a token of their thoughtfulness.
After a brief rest after lunch, Shen Miao picked up a few bags and prepared to go back.
There was a test on Monday and she had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she wanted to go back and start reviewing in advance.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to Qin He's house, but the smell of rice was wafting out of the kitchen.
Qin He was cutting vegetables at the chopping board, and the faucet was slightly turned on to rinse the meat in the sink.
Shen Miao put down the things in her hands, quickly rolled up her sleeves and came over to help her: "Grandma, why did you cook for yourself? Didn't you have lunch yet?"
"I've eaten. It was your uncle," Qin He pushed the food stuck on the knife off with her fingers and continued, "I wanted to call him at noon, but the people in the bureau said he was out on business and probably wouldn't be back until the afternoon."
"With all the trips he's been making, he definitely won't have time to eat lunch, so I thought of making something to send to him."
The person Qin He cares about most is Luo Jialin.
Even though we can't meet every day, we still keep the habit of calling each other once a day. Even if sometimes we can only say a sentence or two, it is a great comfort to her.
The aunt at home usually rests in the afternoon, so Qin He cooks for him herself.
“How about I do it?” Shen Miao said as she took out a few sausages from the bag she brought back, “I brought back some sausages, I’ll put them in the rice and steam them, they’ll be very fragrant.”
Qin He has been a princess in the family since she was young. Even when she was old, there were always people taking care of her, and she hardly ever had to do any housework.
Worried that she might hurt herself, Shen Miao took the knife and said, "Let me do it. It just so happens that my uncle hasn't tasted my cooking skills yet. You can just stand by and give me some pointers."
Qin He understood what she meant. She did not refuse, but smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Although Shen Miao’s cooking skills were not that great, she had been helping out at home since she was a child, so the food she cooked was pretty good.
Seeing her skillful knife skills when cutting vegetables and her skill of flipping the wok when cooking, Qin He praised her repeatedly: "Not bad, her skills are almost as good as those of a chef in a restaurant."
"Oh, it's not comparable to restaurants. It's just barely edible."
Qin He fanned her with the fan in his hand and couldn't help but smile: "That's great. Whoever can marry you in the future will be so lucky~"
“No, no.” Shen Miao blushed a little at the compliment. After serving the dishes, Shen Miao first put the rice and Chinese sausages into the top layer of the lunch box, then put the meat and vegetables with more soup on the bottom layer, and finally put the stir-fried seasonal vegetables and fried shrimps in the middle two layers…
Shen Miao didn't know how much Luo Jialin ate, so she filled every compartment and pressed the rice tightly with a spoon. She tried to lift it, and found that this much food must weigh about three or four pounds.
Yes, it’s definitely enough for two or three people.
Seeing Shen Miao's meticulous expression when she was packing the food, Qin He couldn't help but say again: "In the future, if your uncle can find a wife who is half as good as you, I will be satisfied."
“My uncle is capable, so he won’t have trouble finding a good partner,” Shen Miao covered the lunch boxes one by one, and followed her words, “It would be great if I could catch up to half of my future aunt~”
When Shen Miao arrived at the branch with her lunch box, Luo Jialin had not returned yet.
It was the weekend and it was so hot, people should be staying at home with fans to cool down, but in the police station there were many people arguing angrily, and several policemen handling the case were sweating anxiously.
"Why don't you say you hit me first?"
"What's wrong with hitting you? You asked me to hit you."
"Then I asked you to slap your ears, why didn't you do it?!"
"You dare? Just slap me and try!"
…
"Tell me, what are these things used for?"
"This is... this is... this is what I use for knitting. Look, I'm knitting a little tiger for you."
"Make it up? Still making it up? You've been caught picking someone's lock, and you're still making it up?"
"Well, then it can't be pried open."
…
The first floor was very lively, with stages lined up one after another, and all kinds of dramas were being performed everywhere.
Well, it must be fun to be a policeman here.
Just as she was about to go upstairs to Luo Jialin's office, a loud voice suddenly called her from behind.
"Hey! Shen Miao!"
Shen Miao: ???
Following the sound, Shen Miao turned around and saw a bruised face.
Is it Luxin? !
He got into a fight again.
There was a big tear in his shirt, and a purple bruise at the corner of his mouth was still bleeding. His sweaty hair was a mess and stuck together, and he looked extremely miserable.
But even in such an embarrassing situation, he could still laugh and even raised his chin.
God, is it glorious to be arrested and brought to the police station for fighting? How could he smile and even say hello to me...
If it was Shen Miao, she would definitely not say hello to an acquaintance. If she was really recognized by an acquaintance, she might as well find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"How did you..."
Shen Miao wanted to ask him how he got here, but the wound on his face already told her the reason, so she changed her question: "Where are your parents? Why didn't they come to pick you up?"
Lu Xin curled his lips and said, "I called them, but no one answered."
"What about your master?"
"He asked the police to keep me in custody for a few more days, saying that this was to teach me a lesson."
It's time to teach him a lesson. After all, he is an adult. Why does he only think of solving problems with his fists? Why can't he try a more mature way?
After a few brief greetings, he was taken to the detention room by the police again.
Before leaving, he did not forget to say goodbye to Shen Miao: “Then you go ahead and get busy, see you tomorrow.”
Shen Miao: …
He has a big heart.
When she arrived at Luo Jialin’s office, Shen Miao originally wanted to put down her lunch box and go back, but the assistant said that Luo Jialin was on his way back, so she could have a cup of tea and wait for a while, so Shen Miao sat down.
As a result, after finishing this cup of tea, I waited for almost half an hour, but Luo Jialin didn't come back, and the assistant was called to a meeting.
I just said I would stay and wait, so it’s not a good time to leave right now.
There was no point in staying alone anyway, so he simply went to the detention room downstairs to see what was going on with Lu Xin.
When Shen Miao arrived at the detention room, she happened to see a few parents picking up their children.
He pulled his own child to apologize to the police, bowed and promised that he would not do it again next time, and his attitude was too sincere. There were four or five people in total, and Shen Miao recognized one of them. He was the student who had fought in the alley next to the No. 1 Middle School last time.
Shen Miao thought that Lu Xin’s injuries were serious enough, but compared to them, it was simply not worth mentioning…
One of them was bleeding from the nose, one had a black eye, and another had a leg injury and was limping when he walked.
They were the ones who started the fight first, but they were also the most seriously injured. Since neither side was in the right and they were all students, in order to avoid leaving a criminal record that would affect their future files, the police only gave them a verbal warning and asked the parents to come and pick them up and write a letter of guarantee.
The fight happened in the morning, and the students involved in the fight were basically taken back at noon. Those who came later were also taken away. In the huge detention room, only Lu Xin was left, lying on a bench and sleeping.
He has been locked up for so long, we can't really listen to Lu Jianghai and lock him up for two days to teach him a lesson.
For the sake of being classmates, Shen Miao was ready to help him.
"Hello, comrade. I am Lu Xin's family member. He just called me. I am here to pick him up."
Shen Miao pretended to be very anxious, and in order to appear that she had rushed all the way here, she breathed heavily and wiped the non-existent sweat from her head.
"What is your relationship with Lu Xin?" the police asked as usual.
“I’m her sister,” Shen Miao looked embarrassed and added, “My parents are busy, and my grandfather is seriously ill in bed, so I have to come to pick him up.”
Shen Miao's lies came out of her mouth without any extra thinking.
Her acting skills were perfect. The policeman in charge of guarding the place saw that she looked sincere and had no doubts. But just as he stood up and prepared to open the door, another policeman inside recognized her.
"Lu Xin's sister?" The policeman looked her up and down. "I remember that the last time you came, you had a very beautiful sister-in-law. And that time, you came with the TV station and said you were a Chinese medicine expert. How come you are someone's sister again this time?"
"Comrade, you really have too many identities."
Shen Miao: …
Oh, there's nothing I can do, it's just acting.
Seeing that her lie was exposed, Shen Miao stopped pretending and honestly confessed her identity to him, and explained the reasons for her previous lies.
The police did not make things difficult for her, but they also did not ask her to take the man away. After all, she was not a relative, so they only allowed her to come in and check on his condition.
Lu Xin also heard the lie that Shen Miao told to the police just now, and when he came in, he saw Lu Xin smiling at him.
Shen Miao poked him, “What are you laughing at? It’s not to help you get out.”
"Okay, okay, don't laugh," Lu Xin stood up and walked to the iron fence, and bent down to her obediently, "Thank you, sister. It's my fault. I shouldn't have laughed at your kindness. I apologize!"
Lu Xin is a person who has a very sweet mouth.
The repeated calls of "sister" made it impossible to get angry.
Leaning against the iron fence, Lu Xin slightly bent his waist so that Shen Miao could look up at him without any effort. Blowing his bangs on his forehead, his tone sounded very relaxed: "But I appreciate your kindness, I am fine staying here, and I am not in a hurry to go out."
His tone sounded calm and indifferent, but Shen Miao noticed the barely perceptible disappointment in his eyes.
No problem? No way.
It’s like the little kid in the daycare center watching his friends being picked up. How could he not feel lost?
Gurgle~
Not only Shen Miao, his stomach also ruthlessly exposed his lie.
Shen Miao couldn’t help but laugh.
Holding his stomach, Lu Xin's hard-earned cool and broken persona was instantly ruined. He pursed his lips awkwardly, and his cheeks turned red.
Shen Miao did not expose him, but said: "It just so happens that I brought a lot of food for others, I will go up and share some with you."
"No, I'm not hungry."
Gurgle...
The protest from his stomach was louder than his voice.
"Okay, okay, wait for me for a moment."
Coming upstairs, Shen Miao took out the folding bowl that came with the lunch box.
Shen Miao brought a lot of food. She scooped out a handful of rice, and then picked out a few shrimps, a few pieces of meat and a few vegetables. There was no sign of turning them over. Even if she served one portion, the rest was enough for two people.
The food prepared in the afternoon was still warm, and I could still smell the fragrance when I brought it to the detention room.
"Come, let's eat~"
Lu Xin, who had been so stubborn and refused to come out just now, had a light in his eyes when he saw the hot and delicious food.
Taking the bowl from Shen Miao through the iron fence, Lu Xin was a little surprised, “Are you really here to deliver food?”
“Of course, why would I lie to you?” As she said that, Shen Miao handed him the spoon.
"Ah, no chopsticks?"
Shen Miao: “My uncle will need the chopsticks later. Oh, you are a child anyway, spoons and chopsticks are the same.”
"I'm eighteen years old, an adult, okay?" Lu Xin said with disgust, but still took the spoon obediently.
He couldn't wait to take a bite of rice and slurp off the soft meat on the ribs. Even with his mouth full, Lu Xin asked, "Did you do all this?"
"Um."
"It's quite delicious," Lu Xin chewed the ribs carefully and said, "It's better than what my mom cooks."
Shen Miao took advantage of the situation and joked with him: “How about you call me mom? I will cook for you every day?”
Lu Xin rolled his eyes at her and said, "You wish."
Seeing him wolfing down his food, Shen Miao couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s your mother? Why didn’t she come to pick you up?”
"I divorced my father a long time ago and I'm abroad, so I can't come." Lu Xin replied casually.
Shen Miao: ???
How could he talk about something as big as his parents' divorce so fluently?
While eating the chicken drumstick in the bowl, Lu Xin continued, "My dad originally wanted his mistress to come, but I didn't let him, and I didn't want him to come."
Shen Miao: !!!
Divorce? Mistress?
After all, he was young, and his brain was not fully developed. He told the "family scandal" to an outsider like himself, who had a grudge against his ancestors.
My god, he has such a big heart...
*
After working non-stop for nearly half a month, Luo Jialin felt his brain was stiff when he came back from a meeting.
When going upstairs, the assistant who followed behind finished explaining the work and said, "...Deputy Director, your niece just came to bring you food."
Niece? What niece does he have?
Oh yes, Shen Miao.
He was stunned for a moment, and it took him a few seconds to react.
When I opened the door, the originally boring air was filled with the aroma of food. I opened the heavy lunch box and found that every layer was filled with food.
So much? Enough for him to eat for a whole day!
He used chopsticks to stir the meat that was almost overflowing. The aroma of the food was different from what he usually ate.
It should have been done by Shen Miao.
I took a quick bite and it tasted... well, it was well done and had a very homely taste.
Usually he either eats boxed lunches at the bureau or instant noodles and pickles at home. He can't even remember when was the last time he went home for a meal.
Chewing the shrimp balls with the shrimp threads removed, the sweet and sour taste allowed him to take a break from his busy work for a while.
As he was about to sit down with his rice in hand, Luo Jialin heaved a long sigh of relief and asked, "When did she go back?"
"She hasn't left yet. She's in the holding room downstairs," the assistant replied.
Detention room?
What was she doing in the holding cell?
After putting down the lunch box, Luo Jialin took a sip of water and went downstairs.
Arriving at the door of the detention room, he saw Shen Miao inside, not only her, but also the bruised and battered teenager inside the fence.
The two seemed to be very familiar with each other. They leaned against the iron fence together. From the outside, they were almost leaning on each other, and their actions were very intimate.
It was unknown what the two chatted about, they were talking and laughing, and while the young man was talking, Shen Miao even reached out to wipe away the rice grains stuck to the corners of his mouth...
