After Qiu Yuling finished these things, she sat on the doorstep, supporting her chin and waiting for her loved ones to come back.
Unexpectedly, her second brother and the old man came in together.
"Huh? Why did you come back together?"
"I ran into Mr. Gan in the alley over there. I didn't buy anything, so he took me to change my ticket to a sleeper."
Her second brother seemed a little embarrassed while speaking, perhaps because he had nothing in his hands.
He added that it happened to be a time of strict crackdowns, and because of the chaos, he couldn't buy anything he wanted to buy.
"No wonder. Someone just ran over here in a panic, and in his haste, he even dealt with a big rooster for me."
The father and son looked at each other and met the chaotic scene before.
"Well, the meal is ready, let's eat first."
Qiu Dahe had to leave early the next day, and the old man didn't bring out any wine, so the three of them worked together to drink a big rooster and a bowl of flatbread.
Qiu Yuling brought some sugar cakes for her second brother on the road. She also boiled a bag of eggs and had some leftover flour, so she made a few vegetarian buns and planned to order some to take along.
The old man didn't say a word. Not to mention that there was a count of the things in the house, even if there was no count, he could still afford to provide some food and drink for the young people who went out. What's more, this girl was always so well-behaved that it made people depressed.
After dinner, the old man took Meiyin out for a walk as usual, giving the siblings some space to talk.
"Brother, these are candies I made myself. They may not taste as sweet as those sold outside, but in addition to sugar, I also added medicinal herbs. There are twenty of them in total.
Not a drop of water is added, it is all goat milk, sugar and medicinal herbs. It is very useful when you are really hungry or when your body is deficient. I have tried it, believe me, carry it with you.
This bead is one I have played with myself until it grew up. I just made a rope with it. When you go out, I can't find anything else to remind you of me, so I will hang this bead around your neck and hide it inside your clothes, just like a family member protecting you at any time.
I don't know if this amulet is useful. I originally asked for it for you and was planning to put it in the letter and send it to you. Please keep it close to you so that no one outside sees it and causes trouble.
And these two pairs of insoles can absorb foot sweat and...”
Although it was a lie, it had a basis. She did have a bead, and her brothers had even teased her about it. As for amulets, they weren't completely banned at the moment; it was normal to have them.
Qiu Yuling explained a lot in detail, and Qiu Dahe listened carefully and could not refuse.
He immediately asked Qiu Yuling to hang the red rope around his neck and tie it into a knot. He also put the amulet in his inner pocket. He also tried to put the small cloth bag containing candy in his shirt pocket, which was very small.
"I'll put these in my backpack and carry a few with me when I go on a mission."
Qiu Yuling nodded in agreement, as if the bumps on her body were a bit noticeable.
The brother and sister did not talk about the mission anymore, but tried to talk about something light-hearted, such as their childhood, and how their eldest brother got married and had three little nephews.
We talked about whatever came to mind, and before we could talk too much, the old man came back to his senses.
"Dahe, I just went to my old friend and asked him for a pack of anti-inflammatory medicine for you. This stuff isn't candy beans, so it's not very tasty, but it's better to be prepared."
As he said this, he handed Qiu Dahe a small medicine bag wrapped in newspaper.
Qiu Yuling paused. How could she have forgotten this? Oh, she was really blinded by a single leaf and could not see the mountain.
However, it would be a bit inappropriate for her to appear out of thin air at this moment, so she could only thank the old man together with her second brother.
"What are you thanking me for? Are you drawing a line between you and me again?" The old man glared at Qiu Yuling when he said this. Qiu Yuling hurriedly made jokes, fearing that the old man would have another attack and say that she was being distant.
Qiu Yuling set five alarms in the farm cabin, for fear of missing her second brother going out.
Before daybreak, as soon as Qiu Dahe, who was staying in the ear room, left, Qiu Yuling rushed out in slippers and sleeves.
"Why are you up so early? Go back to sleep, it's still early." Qiu Dahe lowered his voice and whispered to Qiu Yuling.
The old man also put on his clothes and came out, "Ask Yuling to see you off, so that she won't miss you when you leave."
Qiu Dahe rubbed his little sister's head and said, "Then Second Brother will wait for you. It's still early. Go wash your face and comb your hair."
He said goodbye to the old man seriously. The old man didn't say much, just told him to go forward when he should, retreat when he should, and not to be reckless.
If they weren't one of us, who would say that? He appreciated the favor.
Qiu Yuling packed up quickly, braiding her hair in two strokes, and came out, "Second brother, I'm all done."
"Then let's go, Uncle Gan, take care of yourself, I'll come see you when I get back."
"Let's go, let's go. Think more about home. Come directly here next time you come back."
"Um."
Qiu Yuling pushed the bicycle out and said she wanted to take someone with her. Qiu Dahe had no choice but to run and jump onto the back seat.
Seeing how hard she was riding, he said, "Why don't you let your second brother take you?"
"No need, I'm very strong, just sit tight." The second brother is really heavy.
He looks lean, but his flesh is as solid as a piece of porcelain.
Qiu Dahe never deprived his younger sister of her love for him again. Since there were few people on the street, he just let her ride.
Lan City was actually not that big at that time. I rode my bike and arrived at the train station in no time.
"Go back, don't tell your parents, don't let them worry."
"I know. Remember what I told you."
No matter how many instructions they gave, there was no time for them to continue talking. Qiu Dahe refused his sister's suggestion to send him to the station, followed the crowd, and disappeared into a place where Qiu Yuling could not see him.
Needless to say, Qiu Yuling was lost, but more of a worry about the unknown. She was not reborn, nor did she travel through a book. It was like she was reborn and lived another life.
She didn't really know the future direction of anything, especially at a point that concerned personal destiny. Apart from being able to spend money to exchange for some protective measures, no one had the ability of a prophet to help anyone avoid risks.
There was no need to go home now as it was still early for school. She took out the bill that her second brother had given her yesterday.
There were two soap tickets that were about to expire, an enamel basin ticket, a washboard ticket, two pairs of socks tickets, two two-liang sugar tickets, and even a sewing machine ticket.
To be honest, she suspected that her brother was a ticket scalper, otherwise sewing plane tickets would be much harder to get than bicycle tickets.
However, this sewing ticket has an expiration date, so she has to find a chance to get rid of it.
As for the two soap tickets, she had to find time to spend them. In fact, she rarely had the opportunity to spend money outside, and this time she could use them all.
During lunch, Li Feidan asked her whether she wanted to go shopping in the department store since it was the weekend tomorrow.
Qiu Yuling agreed without thinking.
"Then let's meet at the elm tree across from the department store this morning. See you there."
"Okay, that's it. See you there."
