Chapter 293 Pei Jiuyan, Who Has No Status
Even before submitting his marriage application, Song Yunlai had already applied for a family compound. Knowing that he was eager to get married, the organization quickly approved it.
As luck would have it, it was right next to Qin Suisui's house.
Next door to Qin Suisui's house, on one side was Sister Tang's house, and on the other side was a dilapidated, empty house. After the incident involving Zhang Zhiqing, someone came to the Pei family to assassinate Qin Suisui, and escaped from that empty house.
This year, many people in the team applied for marriage or to accompany their spouses, so there were also many people applying for housing in the family compound.
The organization renovated a batch of old, vacant houses, and the house next to Qin Suisui's was one of them. And coincidentally, it was assigned to Song Yunlai and her friends.
Just like Qin Suisui's wedding, Song Yunlai and Su Yunyi went to the city to prepare for their wedding. They originally planned to treat everyone to a meal at a state-run restaurant, but Xiao Duoduo was too young, and it was cold outside, so it was inconvenient to take her out.
So everyone simply bought ingredients to bring back and eat, which also served as a "housewarming" for their new home.
The period around the Lunar New Year is the coldest time of the year on Qiongtan Island. Food cools down quickly after being cooked, so Song Yunlai suggested that they simply have hot pot and borrow Qin Suisui's copper pot.
Everyone naturally agreed, and Chi Donglin even took the initiative to take on the task of buying groceries. It was really because he was all alone and it made his teeth ache to look at Song Yunlai and his newlywed couple and Pei Jiuyan and his newborn couple.
He rode Pei Jiuyan's bicycle, carrying a large basket on his back, with Zanzan on board, humming a tune as he headed towards the grocery store.
Pei Jiuyan and Song Yunlai were busy helping to clean the new house. Because there was too much dust, Qin Suisui and Su Yunyi took Xiaoduoduo back to their own yard.
"That's great, Sister Yunyi! We can live together from now on, it will be so much more convenient!" Before Su Yunyi and Song Yunlai got married, they would invite Su Yunyi over for a meal during holidays, but she always refused, afraid of causing her trouble.
Now that we live together, it's different. If I stand in the yard and call out, the other person can hear me. It's like fulfilling my childhood wish of "being neighbors with my best friend."
Su Yunyi was also very happy, she didn't expect that the housing allocated to her in the family compound would be right next to Qin Suisui's house.
Looking at Qin Suisui's neat and vibrant yard, her face flushed: "Suisui, I've already told your brother Yunlai to plant a yellow-skinned fruit tree in our yard. Don't you love eating that stuff? And we'll also create a small vegetable garden on the right side of the yard, just like you guys do."
Qin Suisui nodded: "Okay, then remember not to plant vegetables near the corner of the wall. This year I will plant more climbing vegetables and fruits such as loofah, bitter melon, and passion fruit. They will climb over in no time. One family can plant them and two families can eat them."
Su Yunyi seemed to be imagining that scene and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Okay! By the way, remember to give me some of the vegetable seeds from your yard next spring."
When the organization sent people to renovate the family compound this year, for convenience, they directly repaired the wall of the neighboring compound next to Qin Suisui's compound, which saved both materials and time.
Qin Suisui was initially worried that it would be troublesome if her neighbors next door were difficult to get along with. Now she doesn't have to worry anymore. She even wishes she could build a small gate in the middle of the courtyard wall so that they wouldn't have to go around to the main gate to come and go.
After Su Yunyi got married, Qian Mei was left to manage the base alone. But she was still young, and Qian Rencai was worried about her living alone. With Qin Suisui's permission, he also moved to the medicinal herb base to help take care of the new seedlings that Qin Suisui was cultivating.
After Tiger was released from the reformatory, he became much more sensible than before and spoke much less. However, he studied very hard, and even though he missed a year, his grades quickly caught up.
When he wasn't in school, he still preferred to stay at the medicinal herb base. Qin Suisui had kept the small room he and Xie Ting had shared at the base exactly as it was, and Tiger would sometimes stay there overnight if he worked late.
Qin Suisui was very worried about his mental state, but fortunately, the reformatory seemed to have really worked. Except when he missed Xie Ting, he would show some vulnerable emotions, but otherwise he behaved normally.
On weekends, he would often come to the family compound to play with Zan Zan and help take care of Xiao Duo Duo.
What surprised Qin Suisui the most was that he used the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" left by Xie Ting to learn a lot about herbs on his own, and showed great interest in herbs.
After several investigations, Qin Suisui discovered that he was extremely talented in this area, and he could even take excellent care of the Ganoderma lucidum being cultivated at the base.
After discovering this, Qin Suisui would intentionally or unintentionally give him pointers on this matter, and sometimes she would take him along when going to the wilderness forest.
After getting to know each other for a while, Hu Zi was helping to take care of almost all the Ganoderma lucidum being cultivated at the base.
It's Lunar New Year's Eve again.
Little Duoduo is still too young this year, so it's inconvenient for her to travel a long distance back to Beijing. Therefore, Qin Suisui and the others do not plan to go back.
Master was very happy to stay here. After all, he was over seventy years old. Who wouldn't want a house full of children and grandchildren? He had been a lonely man all his life, and his apprentice was also a lonely man. Heaven had eyes and allowed him to take in Qin Suisui, a good apprentice who was not only extremely talented in medicine, but also gave him a little grand-apprentice!
"Oh my little Duoduo, let your grandmaster take a look! Oh my, how come our little Duoduo is so beautiful and lovely? She's so adorable!"
"Come here, come here! Your grandmaster has carved a teething stick out of pepperwood for you. Does our little Duoduo like it?"
Since Xiao Duoduo was born, Qin Suisui and Paman, the two estranged siblings, discovered that their master, who always had a stern face, actually had such a "gentle" side.
Since Xiao Duoduo was born, Pei Jiuyan has felt that he has become less and less important.
Normally at home, his wife would always give him a lot of attention, but ever since their daughter was born, she hasn't given him a single glance! Not only that, but sometimes when he calls her, she gets very impatient!
Before, when he went to sea, his wife would always run around packing his clothes, bringing him food, and even some medicinal herbs she had concocted. But now… Pei Jiuyan glanced helplessly at Qin Suisui, who was playing with their daughter:
"Wife, did you hear what I just said?"
