Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Technology Failure
He Junxia was just there to watch the fun, but she didn't expect that it was her own house that collapsed.
He stared at the young boy next to He Junqiu with a bad look. His beard, which had not been shaved for several days, and his sharp eyes made him look particularly intimidating.
The boy's scalp tingled when he was looked at, and the smile on his face suddenly froze. He even couldn't help but shrink back, and shifted his gaze away unnaturally, not daring to look He Junxia in the eye.
Coward
He Junxia snorted coldly.
As someone who's been through it all, he knows that adolescents are just beginning to yearn for love. Especially now that they don't have to study or go to school, or use their phones or watch TV, dating has become a game to pass the time.
But even if you want to have a relationship, you should have a good one, right?
He Junxia considered himself an open-minded parent. When he first learned that his cousin was in a relationship, he simply dragged the boy to the boxing gym for a few days and did not do anything excessive. However, that did not mean he would accept anyone getting close to He Junqiu.
When He Junqiu saw his brother's vicious eyes for the first time, as if he wanted to eat someone, his heart trembled. He always felt that his brother was full of hostility towards Luo Yangbo, as if he was going to beat him up in the next second.
He Junqiu glanced back and forth between the two of them. She asked cautiously, "Brother, you, you know each other?"
He Junxia glared at her, gnashing her teeth and trying hard to suppress her dissatisfaction, saying, "I don't know him. Come back with me."
I'll settle the score with you when I get back.
He Junqiu: ???
She was inexplicably glared at and couldn't figure out why He Junxia was angry. She could only attribute it to the fact that her aunt was not doing well in the province, which made her brother in a bad mood.
He Junqiu naturally wouldn't insult her brother in front of outsiders. She nodded obediently and said, "Oh, sure, brother. Are you hungry? I'll run back and heat up some food for you. We have stir-fried pork with chili peppers today."
He Junxia nodded with satisfaction: "No, let's go back together."
The two figures walked away with the girl's gentle voice. The boy who stayed behind had a stiff face, his expression gradually became gloomy, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes.
…
When they returned home, two chubby puppies came up to them, circled around He Junxia, jumped on his feet from time to time, and wagged their furry little tails wildly.
He Junxia had no intention of playing with them.
He asked, "Who is that?"
He Junqiu was puzzled: "Which one?"
He Junxia: "Just the one just now."
He Junqiu: ...
Can't you explain it more clearly? Why do you make her ask again?
"His name is Luo Yangbo, he's my classmate. He was just assigned to our village yesterday and wants to stay at our house."
He Junxia: "Do you agree?"
He Junqiu quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "How is that possible? If it was a girl, I could come back and discuss it with you. But he is a boy, and his mother..."
He Junqiu had an expression that was hard to describe.
He Juanxia's face darkened: "Did his mother bully you?"
He Junqiu exclaimed in surprise, not quite understanding his brother's strange and old ways. He explained, "No, it was his mother who suddenly rushed into the next class last month and beat up a girl. She also said that she was shameless and seduced her son like a crazy woman."
He Junqiu curled his lips in disgust.
"We all know that it was her son who took the initiative to pursue someone else, and Luo Yangbo is a coward. When his mother came, he hid in the classroom and didn't dare to say a word."
"Luckily, the girl's parents rushed over and beat up his mother. In the end, the police took them to the police station, and I heard they reconciled."
After listening to He Junqiu's explanation, He Junxia felt relieved, but a small part of her heart was still confused about the scene she had just seen.
He Junxia was very sure that he had not seen it. When he passed by, the two young people were talking and laughing, and they seemed to have a very close relationship.
He asked the doubts in his heart, and He Junqiu suddenly realized and finally figured out what was going on with his brother's strange attitude. He was instantly disgusted, angry and aggrieved.
He Junqiu was unhappy: "Is your sister such a short-sighted person? I like him even if I want to. Oh, it can't be him anyway."
"I wanted to pick you up at the village entrance, but he kept pestering me with questions, which really annoyed me. He was just joking around, but I was just being polite, okay?!"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong."
He Junxia was completely relieved, as he knew his sister would never fall for that boy. However, that boy had ulterior motives and even wanted to live in his house.
My hands are itching to hit someone.
He Junxia couldn't help but move her wrist.
He Junqiu pushed him into the living room: "Take a rest first, the food will be heated up soon."
He Juanxia looked around: "Where are my parents?"
He Junqiu used a blowtorch to light the fire in the stove, took out some leftovers from the cupboard, and scooped a spoonful of lard into the hot iron pot. He found time to reply, "Dad, Brother Xie, and Brother Zhang were invited by the town to help build a house. Mom and Aunt Guihua went to the county this morning and haven't returned yet."
He Junxia changed into clean clothes and lay on the sofa. His body, which was finally able to relax, sent a longing message to his brain. He responded a few times with half-closed eyes, and felt a little sleepy again.
He hadn't had a good rest these past few days. If he hadn't had to pay an extra day's room fee if he slept a little longer in the morning, he would have been able to sleep through the night.
"Brother, eat before going to bed."
He Junqiu put a big bowl of rice with vegetables, eggs and shredded pork on the table. The aroma of the food overcame his sleepiness. He Junxia opened his eyes drowsily and shoveled rice into his mouth in big mouthfuls.
This way of eating is very rough and not elegant at all. If it is posted online, many netizens will definitely mock him for being uncultured and having no manners.
But there are no netizens here, only He Junqiu who looks distressed.
He Junqiu saw that he had finished a large bowl of rice in less than ten minutes, and asked worriedly: "Brother, are you full? Do you want me to get you some more?"
He Junxia shook her head: "Is there any hot water? I want to take a bath."
No wonder He Junqiu almost didn't recognize him when he returned to the village just now. Looking at the disheveled face reflected in the mirror, he almost didn't recognize himself.
He didn't want to sleep in his own bed dirty.
"There is hot water to drink, but not much, not enough for a bath. Wait a moment, I'll boil a big pot for you."
He Junqiu cleared away the dishes, cleaned the iron pot and started to boil water. He Junxia fell asleep again while waiting, and He Junqiu couldn't bear to wake him up to take a shower.
But taking a bath will definitely make sleeping more comfortable.
He Junxia dug out the large wooden barrel that was once used to slaughter the New Year pig and was now converted into a bathtub. He poured a large pot of hot water into it, and then added two large pots of cold water until the water temperature was suitable.
He Junxia felt her body relaxed and relieved by the hot water, and she couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh, hoping that this moment would last forever.
However, time does not stop for anyone.
He Junxia took a comfortable hot bath, changed into clean pajamas, and fell into the bedding filled with the scent of sunshine. She fell into a deep sleep and slept until late at night.
After getting enough sleep, He Junxia opened her eyes naturally. She smelled the aroma of food coming from outside, tidied her messy hair, put on her slippers and walked out.
"Xiao Xia is awake, just in time, come and eat."
Zeng Xiuping greeted He Junxia with a gentle smile that had not been seen for a long time, just like a mother who finally met her college student child after many months.
He Junxia thought so.
He yawned as he walked into the living room. His eyes widened when he saw the dishes on the table. Although he knew that his family would prepare a sumptuous meal when he returned, he had never imagined it would be so extravagant.
That’s right, luxury.
Three meat dishes, four vegetable dishes, one soup and one fruit. The meat dishes are stewed chicken, braised pork and steamed fish. It would cost a lot of money to take just one of them, let alone the three main dishes.
The family sat down at the table and prepared to eat. Zeng Xiuping seemed to have thought of something and turned around to get a large bowl from the kitchen.
"Xiao Lu must have worked hard, as did Xiao Zhang and Xiao Xie. They've worked all day in town. Even though you're the master, we can't just accept our apprentices' gifts for free. The big pot dishes in the cafeteria are no match for the ones we cook at home."
Zeng Xiuping picked up a bowl full of meat dishes and said, "You guys eat first, I'll take it to them."
He Junqiu took the bowl from her hand actively: "Hey, Mom, please sit down. I'll take it there. I can run fast."
Zeng Xiuping watched her daughter run away, and couldn't catch up with her even after chasing her. She could only remind her, "Be careful, don't drop the food."
He Junxia narrowed her eyes as she watched He Junqiu disappear.
He always felt that he had overlooked something.
Where exactly is it?

As for why Xiao Xia, who had practiced boxing for more than ten years, was killed by the medical disturbance, it can only be said that no matter how good the martial arts skills are, they are still afraid of group fights and kitchen knives.
