Chapter 181 Qingxiong will not abandon us

Guo Yumei, her mother and her son went to the ridge to get their shoes and returned home. It was obvious that they were not in the best mood as they had just been when they answered the phone call.

The sun was shining just now, but now the sky was covered with dark clouds, the air was very hot and humid, and it looked like a heavy rain was about to fall.

"Mom, why don't you and Qingcao go? I'll go next time." Xia Qingshu pinched the water spinach that he had just picked from the field and said calmly,

"The chickens and rabbits at home can't leave their owners, so I'll stay and take care of them. You can just go to Xiaoliu's place and play."

"Brother, don't you want to buy books?" Xia Qingcao asked hurriedly. When his sister mentioned on the phone that she wanted to take him to the bookstore, he saw his brother's eyes light up.

"You can bring me a few books, or I can buy them next time." Xia Qingshu lowered his head and pinched the water spinach, not wanting his mother and brother to see his loneliness.

Guo Yumei looked at her son who was picking vegetables with his head down, and felt distressed. How could she not know that her son said he would not go because he was worried about what Niu Xianhua said just now? So she comforted him:

"Qingshu, don't mind what Niu Xianhua said just now. How could Xiaoliu dislike us?"

"Yes, brother, don't listen to what that fat woman said. Sister definitely doesn't think so, otherwise she wouldn't call us to go."

Xia Qingcao also noticed his brother's sadness, and followed his mother's words and spoke.

Although he said this, he was actually unsure in his heart. He didn't know if his sister would still look at other people's faces like before and dare not get too close to them.

"It's okay, you guys can go. It's really inconvenient for me to walk, and I can't leave my family alone." Xia Qingshu said with his head down. He tried his best to make his words sound natural, but his low and hoarse voice had already exposed his inner helplessness and sadness.

He wanted so much to go to the bookstores in the big city and to go to the university, but he didn't want to make things difficult for his sister, and he didn't want to embarrass her.

"If my brother doesn't go, I won't go either." Xia Qingcao seemed to have made up

her mind and said very firmly. Although he missed his sister very much and wanted to go out, how could he bear to leave his brother alone at home and go out to play by himself? Even if he really went, he would not have a peaceful time.

At this time, a flash of lightning broke through the dark sky, followed by a loud thunder, and a rainstorm was about to come.

Guo Yumei rubbed her ears which were slightly painful from the thunder, looked at the two brothers, and then said:

"Then we won't go."

Xia Qingshu lowered his head even lower after hearing this, his eyes full of guilt, because he ruined everyone's good mood.

"Mom, you guys go, don't spoil Xiaoliu's fun." Xia Qingshu said, at this time he still took his sister's mood into consideration.

"If you don't go, Qingcao won't go either. If Qingcao doesn't go, then I won't go either." Guo Yumei finished speaking like a tongue twister, and continued:

"Xiaoliu just said that if we don't go, she will come back alone." |

"How can that be possible." After hearing what their mother said, the two brothers immediately raised their heads and looked at her, saying in unison.

"Xiaogui is timid and has rarely traveled far. It's not safe for him to come back alone, take a car, and walk on mountain roads." Xia Qingshu said with a worried look on his face.

"Yes, what if I meet bad guys on the way back?" Xia Qingcao also hurriedly added.

Seeing the two sons looking like they were facing a powerful enemy, Guo Yumei smiled knowingly and said,

"Then no one should say they won't go." Then she looked at her two sons firmly and said, "We'll all go!"

Just now she also thought, why not forget it and not bother Xiaogui, but when she saw the brothers' worries and their forbearing and restrained expectations, she suddenly figured it out.

She has lived in the mountains all her life, half of her body is buried in the soil, so she doesn't need to yearn for it anymore, but it's different for her children. They are still so young and should go see the outside world.

She believes that her daughters are not fake people. Since she asked them to go, she really wants them to go.

After hearing what their mother said, the brothers' eyes suddenly lit up, and they couldn't hide their expectations.

"The rabbits and chickens in that house..." Although Xia Qingshu was happy, he couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"I'll talk to your aunt Jinhua later and ask her to help take care of them for a few days." Guo Yumei knew that if she said she would not go and stayed to take care of the family, her two filial sons would definitely not abandon her and go to the city with peace of mind.

She had made up her mind that no matter what, she would not let them down this time, so she would go.

It had already started to rain, and the rain came very fast. After a while, the sound of big raindrops hitting the tiles on the roof could be heard. The strong wind and heavy rain soon swept through the small village.

The air was very hot and humid, and with thunder and lightning, it was not really good weather. However, Xia Qingcao was very happy. He looked at the heavy rain in the sky and smiled. He had a gift for his sister tomorrow.

His eyes were full of anticipation, and he didn't know whether it was for the gift he was about to receive or for meeting his sister tomorrow.

After Xia Qingxi called her mother, she went to a furniture store to buy a bed. There were originally five beds in the house, but one was thrown away and He Shanshan moved one away, so there were only three beds left.

The room separated from the living room had been demolished, so there were only four rooms in the house now, one for Lu Baichuan, one for Lu Xiaoxue, one for Xia Qingxi, and one was empty.

Xia Qingxi had planned that when her mother came, she and she could live in one room, and her brother and younger brother could live in another room, so she only needed to buy one more bed.

In the furniture store, Xia Qingxi quickly selected a large solid wood bed, and after buying it, she asked the workers to help deliver it to her home.

After buying the bed, she went to buy mosquito nets, curtains and some toiletries. When she returned home with the things she bought, she found that the workers had delivered another bed and a wardrobe.

She was puzzled and asked the workers, only to find out that it was her father-in-law Lu Baichuan who ordered it. He probably took into account that Xia Qingxi's mother and others were coming, so he wanted to prepare all these things in advance. Neither of them discussed it with the other, so they bought an extra bed.

Xia Qingxi wanted to return one bed, but her father-in-law Lu Baichuan came back later and said that there was no need to return it, and directly asked the workers to move it into the room.
