Xia Youyou and his wife slept until noon, completely unaware that the diligent Cao An and Xiao Hai had already started selling the fruit.
At this moment, she woke up in the man's arms and stretched unconsciously.
Qi Siling had woken up a long time ago and was leaning against the bedside reading a book. Unexpectedly, she was knocked away by her stretching hand. He hugged her tightly with amusement, "Are you hungry?"
"Hmm~ I'm hungry!"
"So you deliberately didn't remember yesterday?" He only remembered to settle the score with her at this moment. He was a little looking forward to it yesterday morning, but in the end he really thought she didn't remember it.
"Yes." Xia Youyou smiled as she hooked her arm around his neck and kissed him hard on the lips. "Are you surprised?"
"Come more later!" Chase after him and deepen the fight.
Finally, Xia Youyou couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to push him away, "Okay, I'm hungry!" They had slept for so long, and they didn't know if their mother had come up to find them.
After washing and packing up, the two finally came down from upstairs.
As soon as she came down, she saw the TV in the living room. She figured the noise that morning was from them installing it. She had no interest in the big black and white head and walked through the living room and out.
The stomach is still important!
After flirting with Liu Hui, she and Qi Siling carried the dishes to the backyard to eat. She ate voraciously, and Qi Siling quickly poured her some water, "Eat slowly, I'm not trying to steal from you."
After dinner, the two of them rode their bicycles towards the old house. The doors of the courtyard houses facing each other were closed, and occasionally they could hear the voices of Zi Bo and others talking inside.
Qi Siling first opened the door on the Cao family's side, placed the things that had been prepared long ago in the yard, and then went over there with Xia Youyou to knock on the door.
The noisy courtyard suddenly became quiet. He knocked three more times, "Uncle Zi, it's me."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were footsteps coming from inside, a chaotic sound, and the sound of arguing, "Ah! Brother Qi is back!"
"I'll go open the door!"
"It was me who was calling!"
Xia Youyou was being led by the man, and when she heard the noise, she hid behind him for protection. She simply hid behind him, letting his broad body block her figure so as to give the people inside a surprise! Today was Sunday. They went directly to Hua University last Friday, so they hadn't been here for two weeks.
The door was scrambled open, and a group of young boys rushed out, laughing and joking, "Brother Qi! I missed you so much!"
The man in the white shirt was tall and handsome, standing there like a fine sculpture, every part of him perfect! Seeing that it was their familiar Brother Qi, they all rushed over to pounce on him.
As they rushed over, Xia Youyou poked her head out from behind the man and asked, "Don't you miss me?"
She spoke in a sweet and playful voice, and walked to the man's side when they were frightened. She was wearing a dress, a knitted shawl, and a pair of small leather shoes, and her whole body exuded a sweet aura.
Then he said, "Oh, what a pity! I brought so many delicious foods. I don't know who to give them to!" He said with a hint of annoyance on his face, "Why don't I go back? No one misses me anyway!"
Several guys started talking at once, and Ziqiu and Zidong followed behind them and squeezed out, with a very arrogant attitude, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, my sister-in-law is back, all the delicious food is ours!"
As he said that, he walked around Qi Siling who was serving as a pillar and took hold of Xia Youyou who was behind him.
"Sister-in-law! You're finally back!"
Xia Youyou looked at the two little girls who were about the same height as her, and felt a sense of emotion in her heart, "How come they have grown taller again!"
"It seems like I will be the shortest one in the family from now on!"
Qi Siling couldn't stand hearing that. She was about to get stuck in a rut again! "Not short! How is it short?" She glared at the boys behind her.
Zi Bo saw what he meant, and immediately knelt down, awkwardly walking to Xia Youyou's side, "Sister-in-law, look at me, I'm just this small."
The people behind followed suit, surrounding Xia Youyou and laughing and shouting.
Her mind was about to explode from the noise, so she helped the two girls who were holding her on either side and kneeling, "Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you! Hurry up, let's go move the things over there!"
"What do you have, sister-in-law?" Uncle Zi was greedy and wanted to eat some fruit. Although he always brought a lot of lychees, he didn't know why he got a sore throat and had to eat something else.
"There's a lot, a lot, you're sure to love it!" He led the two little girls over there. The courtyard gate had already been opened, and the corridor next to the screen wall was filled with sacks. They had already packed these, and they contained all kinds of fruits, with several bundles of shiny black sugarcane standing nearby.
"Oh! That's sugarcane!" Zimo was the youngest and had the sharpest eyes. While others were still looking into the sack, he had already discovered the two-meter-high sugarcane at the back.
"What is this? Why is it so big?" Zi Zhong looked at the big guy lying alone on the ground and asked in confusion.
"We brought the jackfruit from out of town. We don't have any here." Qi Siling pushed Zi Zhong, who was clinging to him, "Two of us, one sack, move everything over there. I'll take care of the jackfruit."
Zi Qiu first noticed the TV on the side, "Sister-in-law! There is a TV!" She turned around in surprise and looked at her beautiful sister-in-law.
Xia Youyou nodded, "Okay, I'll ask your brother to fix it for you later."
Zimo pulled Zijiu and went straight to the bundles of sugarcane, "Let's move the sugarcane first!"
In those days, no one was rich, so going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some fruit candy was considered a luxury. Moreover, sugarcane was the main raw material for making brown sugar, and the supply and marketing cooperative didn't sell it.
A group of people rushed into the yard. Qi Siling finally got away, walked to Xia Youyou, put his arm around her shoulders, and took her outside.
The alley entrance was bustling with activity, and some of the neighbors inside, having heard the commotion, popped their heads out to see what was happening. They couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be the Qi family's top-student couple back again? They always come back with a ton of food, which makes the kids ravenous." Even as they pondered this, they shooed their grandchildren, who were about to follow them, back to their rooms, lest they see the food and get tempted.
The truth is that they have no intersection at all. The two old men in the courtyard rarely go out. They grow their own vegetables in the yard, and the meat is bought by the boys at the supply and marketing cooperative together, which does not give them any chance to make friends.
But it's not uncommon these days. Everyone lives their lives behind closed doors, fearing any quarrels and reporting anything that doesn't go their way.
The couple walked through the alley and saw the old woman answering the phone who was also watching the fun outside.
Xia Youyou smiled sweetly at her and walked over to greet her.
There are many children and two old men in the family. Usually, it is this mother-in-law who answers the phone when they call, which is a bother for her every time.
After exchanging a glance with Qi Siling, she went forward to greet him, while the man returned to the yard, took out a net bag, and took out some fruits from the sack.
"Grandma, have you eaten?"
"Oh, they've eaten. What are you doing?" He felt very strange. He didn't see how the couple came back, and how did they carry so many big sacks here.
As the two chatted, Qi Siling came out of the yard, carrying a large net bag of candied oranges and dragon fruits, and two pieces of sugarcane in his hand, and walked up to them.
