Chapter 16 Memories (IV) Mysterious Place

Xiaodong nodded obediently, "Okay, Mom, I will study hard and won't let you down."

After hearing these touching words, Mother Chi's tense face finally showed a hint of smile, "That's good, you don't have to cook tonight, your father and I will cook together."

"Go back to your room and study hard. I'll call you for dinner later."

Xiaodong: "Yeah, I'll go up to the room then."

Xiaodong returned to his room and didn't take what his grandmother said today to heart. He felt that the older brother was just responding to his grandmother's words casually and would not really help him with his homework.

As a result, the next morning, Xiaodong was preparing to go downstairs to help his mother make breakfast, and then go back to his room to do his holiday homework. He also wanted to review the knowledge he would learn next semester in advance.

As soon as he went downstairs, he heard his grandmother's voice coming from the living room, as well as a familiar voice that he had heard yesterday.

At this time, downstairs, Grandma Chi was chatting happily with Bu Qianli who came to keep an appointment, and her wrinkled face was full of smiles.

Hearing the sound of Xiaodong coming downstairs, they both looked over at the same time.

Xiaodong greeted politely: "Good morning, Grandma, Big Brother."

Grandma Chi said in a friendly manner: "Xiaodong, your mother has already prepared breakfast for you today, come and have some. After you finish eating, remember to take your brother Qianli to his room to help you with your homework."

Xiaodong blinked his big round eyes, feeling very happy that his elder brother was willing to counsel him, and whispered, "Okay, grandma."

Grandma Chi turned to Bu Qianli and said, "Qianli, do you want to eat some more? Xiaodong's mother's cooking is delicious, especially the fried pancakes, which are famous in this area."

Bu Qianli, who was used to getting up early, had breakfast at his grandmother's house before coming to Xiaodong's house. He was afraid that he would not be able to eat any more now, so he smiled and politely declined Grandma Chi's kindness.

Grandma Chi also knew that Bu Qianli must have eaten before coming here, and she didn't care when she saw him refuse, "Okay, we'll eat again next time we have a chance."

He turned around and shouted to Xiaodong who was chewing slowly at the table: "Xiaodong, you have to listen to your brother carefully. It is a rare opportunity for him to come and help you with your homework."

"Got it, grandma. I will study hard."

Grandma Chi looked at the weather outside. It was a clear sky and a good day. "Well, I'll go out for a walk and see my old friends. I haven't seen them for a long time and I miss them a lot these days."

After saying this, she picked up her crutches, refused Bu Qianli and Xiaodong's attempts to support her, and walked slowly out the door step by step.

Xiaodong was afraid that Bu Qianli would have to wait too long, so he rolled up the big pancake in his hand in a few quick strokes and stuffed it into his mouth to finish it.

On weekdays, he likes to eat the big pancakes made by his mother the most. Whenever pancakes appear on the table, he will dip every part of the pancake in sauce, slowly roll it into shape, and then chew it slowly to enjoy it.

There has never been a situation like today where everyone eats everything indiscriminately.

Xiaodong felt it was a pity while eating.

"...Xiaodong, take your time eating. Don't be in a hurry."

Bu Qianli turned around and saw how fast Xiaodong was eating and was a little surprised.

He was so thin and small that he could eat so much, and in such a hurry. A trace of worry flashed across her eyes, afraid that he would choke, so she opened her mouth to persuade him.

Xiaodong shook his head and finally swallowed the milk in his mouth, "I... I'm done. Big brother, let's go study."

Xiaodong took Bu Qianli to his room.

His room is on the second floor. The space is not big, but it is enough for his daily life and study.

The first thing Bu Qianli felt when she stepped into the room was that it was clean and tidy. She had thought that a child of this age would have a messy room with things placed in a disorderly manner, but this was not the case in Xiaodong's room.

Although the room is not big, the decoration is very warm. You can tell at a glance that his family dotes on him very much and he is a child growing up surrounded by love.

Bu Qianli sat on the only chair in the room, watching the little Xiaodong busying around, sometimes pouring water for him, sometimes going downstairs to get him some ripe fruits from the yard.

When Xiaodong wanted to go out to get something again, Bu Qianli quickly stopped him, with a serious look on his face, "Xiaodong, I'm here to give you a tutorial, not to be your guest. Now you sit down and listen to me carefully."

Xiaodong nodded hurriedly, "Yes, big brother."

Just like this, for a whole month, with one teaching seriously and the other learning seriously, Xiaodong's learning progress improved at a visible speed.

I even learned the knowledge required for entering sixth grade next semester in advance.

After spending a month together, Xiaodong's admiration for Bu Qianli has become even deeper. He thought Bu Qianli would stay here until the end of the vacation.

So this day Bu Qianli came to give him a lecture as usual, and mentioned that he would go home in two days, but Xiaodong thought he was going back to his grandmother's house.

Xiao Dong was puzzled: "Go home, big brother, haven't you been staying at Old Madam Yan's place?"

Bu Qianli laughed out loud when she heard this, and flicked Xiaodong's forehead with her finger, "Stupid, I'm going back to my own home, not to my grandma's."

Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, then realized that his elder brother was leaving the village, "But...but the vacation isn't over yet? There's still a month left...why are you leaving so soon?"

Bu Qianli leaned his elbows on the table, a smile flashed across his handsome face, "Because I have an appointment with my friends to go to another country to play, if I don't go back, I guess that guy will chase me and beat me up."

Xiaodong then remembered that Bu Qianli's phone had been ringing for the past few days. It turned out that it was a good friend calling to urge him.

Although he was reluctant to see his older brother leave, he also knew that his older brother had agreed to the tutoring out of kindness, so it was normal for him to leave now.

Xiaodong's eyes were filled with reluctance, and he asked cautiously, "Will you come here to play again next time?"

Bu Qianli raised her lips slightly and smiled exceptionally brightly, "It will come, don't worry."

Xiao Dong suddenly thought of a place he wanted to take his big brother to. "Big brother, I want to take you to a place tomorrow. It's really beautiful there. Do you want to go?"

Bu Qianli was surprised: "Is there such a mysterious place here?"

Xiao Dong's pale face showed a hint of healthy pink, and she said proudly, "Of course, I discovered this. You will know when you go there tomorrow."

Bu Qianli was amused by his childish look, "Okay, okay, Xiaodong actually has a secret. I'm looking forward to tomorrow."

The next morning, Bu Qianli arrived as promised. Xiaodong was already waiting for him at the door with his schoolbag in hand.

I saw Xiaodong carrying a big schoolbag. It looked like there were a lot of things in it. I didn’t know what was in it.

Bu Qianli laughed out loud, "What? Are you taking me to school?"
