Her second brother is her money bag, and her eldest brother will be able to get a salary soon, so she has to take out some money to show off.
Before the old man could speak, his daughter's eyes lit up, "Dad~"
The old man grabbed the ticket and stuffed it back into Qiu Yuling's hand. "Here, this ticket is worth a lot of money. You little brat, why are you so loose?"
"Dad~?"
The woman's tone dragged on a bit. She had asked for the old bicycle before, but the old man refused, saying that it would be troublesome for them to go from Lan City to Jing City. Now that she had the ticket, she could go and buy a new one herself. Wouldn't that be better?
"Calling me dad is useless. A gentleman should earn money in a proper way. If it's not yours, how can you take it for free?"
"When did I take advantage of you for nothing? Aren't you my father? Didn't you say that I'm your granddaughter?"
"I'm not planning on accepting it. Besides, I don't have the nerve to accept such a valuable gift. Not to mention the girl taking care of my food and drinks, do you know how hard it is to get the rice and flour back? Do you know how scarce this meat is?
Did you know that malted milk can only be purchased with a medical record? Do you think you're living here for free? The house is so tidy inside and out. All the bedding you brought here was taken apart and re-sewn.
If I hadn't shamelessly insisted on taking her in as my granddaughter, where would she have lived in peace?"
The old man became more and more angry as he spoke, and he wished he could tell his daughter to pack up and go back home right now.
This year has not been peaceful at all. When she came back, she didn't show any sympathy to her old father. She kept talking about her own difficulties and asked him to lose face and find a way for his grandson.
To be honest, he also wanted his descendants to bother him, but he himself had seen his grandson, who was picky and neither high nor low, and it was not something he could arrange with his own hands.
Seeing that they had failed to achieve their goal, he and his son-in-law decided to go back to work. His daughter stayed, saying that she hadn't been there for a few years and wanted to spend more time with him.
But during this half month, Chunchun was making things difficult for herself.
Sometimes she complained that she lived too far away and it was inconvenient for her to take care of her, so she asked me to go with her. Sometimes she said that the place she lived over there was not spacious enough and was not as comfortable as the yard in her hometown. She said both things in a roundabout way.
She also said that there were too many houses in the yard, which was a waste, and suggested that we rent them out like the yards in Beijing, so that we could have some income every month. Later, when I mentioned that the small house was for students to live in, she started to complain that it was inappropriate.
Qiu Yuling now understood that the old man's daughter was not easy to get along with, and she didn't have the power to interfere in everyone's affairs.
Seeing that the old man had other ideas, he stood aside obediently to watch over him.
"Dad, why are you saying this? Can't I just buy the ticket?"
"Even if you want to buy it, I won't sell it to you. Go to your own city and buy it. How can I sell it to you if I claim it as my godson's daughter? How much is appropriate for me? Don't ruin our relationship."
The ticket was stuffed back into Qiu Yuling's hands without further ado. "Here, Dahe still has to find a wife, and your third brother Dashu also needs to work. This is a good thing, so it won't get hot. Where can it not be used?"
Qiu Yuling was still trying to refuse, but then she heard the old man speak again.
"If you really want it, take this old bike and tell the girl to save up some money and buy herself another one. Then you'll have a convenient ride wherever you go. After all, the things are yours, so you don't have to rely on an old man like me. The child is not legitimate, but still has to take care of everything for me. Some people don't even know how to do this."
The old man was determined not to let his daughter down. What could Li Chunni do? She picked up her bag again and stuffed it under her arm. "I'm going out to do something. I won't be back at noon. You can eat your own food and don't worry about me."
After saying this, he pushed the cart away without waiting for the old man to reply.
"Uncle." Qiu Yuling felt embarrassed to stay, so she planned to just rent a place nearby after the New Year.
"It's okay, don't take it to heart. She hasn't been back for a few years, so as soon as she comes back, she will definitely make a big fuss. Otherwise, why didn't her two brothers mention coming back for the New Year when she came?
It has nothing to do with you. This girl was left with her grandparents for a few years when she was little. When they brought her back, her temper was already very erratic. She always felt that everything was hers at home, and she would act up if things didn't go her way.
These words should not be said to the little kid, but Qiu Yuling has always been mature. He was probably angry at the moment, and didn't care about the difference in generation, so he started talking directly.
It's hard for a judge to judge family affairs. Is this something she, an outsider, can hear or say? Apart from "hmmmm" and "haha", she didn't know what else to say.
"Uncle, take a rest. I'll go make dinner. I have to go back to school this afternoon. I'll come back to see you when I'm free."
"No, let's go. Let's go to the state-owned restaurant and have a good meal."
Qiu Yuling didn't leave the restaurant and ran into Li Chunni who was pushing a cart back.
"Dad, Xiao Qiu, you haven't eaten yet, right? Come on, go inside, I bought some."
Qiu Yuling was in a dilemma, neither leaving nor staying. Whether her godfather's daughter was a good person or not was another matter, but the old man treated her very well, even better than his own father.
The person just left and showed off to her arrogantly, saying that her house was locked and that she rented it.
Since the old man said it was rented, Qiu Yuling took the opportunity to give the rent to him, but he returned it as New Year's money.
There was a lot of witty exchanges back and forth. Anyway, the old man said that she was not allowed to move out. She had not yet figured out how to deal with it in a way that would not damage the friendship between them or get involved in the trouble.
"Come on, it's a waste if you don't eat it. Follow me in."
"Yuling, come in quickly. Auntie bought some braised pork elbows. Dad, call the kids in."
Qiu Yuling was not the shy type, so after being called twice, she went to the table confidently.
"This scallion pancake is made by your mom, right? After heating it up, it smells really good."
The food was all set out, including the scallion pancakes that Qiu Yuling had brought out specially. It was a delicious meal, especially since this guy had just come back from a trip and his words and actions were as smooth as if they had been hammered through, and he was very proficient.
Let’s eat then. Qiu Yuling thought there would definitely be something to talk about during the meal, but who knew they would just eat. Maybe the attitude at the beginning made Qiu Yuling not know how to address the other person.
Li Chunni also took the initiative to come to the rescue, "We are all family, just call me aunt from now on."
Qiu Yuling swallowed the food in her mouth and called out "Auntie" in a cheerful voice.
"Hey, eat more. You look so thin, like a stick. Auntie is always quick-witted. Sometimes she speaks before she thinks.
"After hearing the old man talk about how you took care of him this year, my aunt is very grateful. Don't stop, eat more..."
