Qin Huai's auto repair shop has been open for quite some time. Qin Dashu should have heard of it a long time ago, but he had never been there until the Li family came to make trouble. He came for the first time today. His original intention might be to worry about
I wonder how much mental preparation he put in to muster up the courage to come over.
Qin Huai knew exactly what he was thinking. He was probably afraid that Old Lady Li and the others would come and cause trouble, that Qin Huai was too young to be their match, and that he would suffer.
So Qin Huai should remain calm and speak nicely to this man, but the words that come out of his mouth are as sharp as a knife.
These words clearly came out of his mouth, but they didn't sound like he said them. It was more like his body's own conditioned reflex.
Qin Dashu's face flushed red, and a feeling of guilt flashed through his mind. He was not a competent father, nor a competent son. Whenever he thought about how he had cruelly abandoned Qin Xiaoyun and her sister in the countryside and had them struggle on the brink of starvation countless times, Qin Huai's soft heart slowly grew cold.
If it were still the original Qinhuai, this poor family would definitely not have survived last winter.
As for how Qin Dashu treated him, he didn't care much. He was a time traveler, not the poor original owner Qin Huai, who did not live a miserable life like that child.
Although Qin Dashu almost killed him that time, he did not feel much resentment in his heart, because it was not him who was killed then. Today's anger was purely for his two younger sisters and Old Man Qin.
Qin Xiaomi walked over with red eyes and hugged Qin Huai's arm. Her body was still shaking, but she still said clearly: "Dad, I beg you not to hit my brother, please go away."
Qin Huai felt very distressed. This little girl had suffered a lot over the years, and he kept trying to comfort her.
After hearing what the little girl said, Qin Dashu burst into tears.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Xiaomi, I'm not worthy of being your father. I'm leaving now."
Old Man Qin happened to walk over and said, "It's good that you know. Go away now. We don't need your fake kindness."
Qin Xiaoyun was just walking towards them from a distance. She saw Qin Dashu, but did not come over. Instead, she stood at the door of the store and watched them from afar.
Qin Dashu looked at the grandparents and grandchildren in front of him with complicated eyes. He was stunned for a long time before he said with difficulty: "Okay, I'll go."
As he spoke, he turned around. He was a very tall man. Li Lan was so devoted to taking care of her family that she probably never took care of him. He was extremely thin and looked like a bamboo pole from behind. Every time he took a step, his bones made a clacking sound like a machine lacking oil.
Qin Huai regretted it again, but like Old Man Qin, his heart hardened.
Qin Xiaomi suddenly burst into tears behind him and said, "Dad..."
Qin Dashu paused for a moment, but didn't turn around: "Xiaomi, live a good life with your brother."
Qin Huai opened his mouth a few times, and the old man suddenly grabbed his hand tightly.
The family watched him slowly walk out of sight.
Qin Xiaomi finally burst into tears and threw herself into Qin Huai's arms, sobbing, "Brother..."
The old man said, "Why are you crying? Without him, your brother and I can live a better life." He had long seen through the world and human nature, and most of the time, he was very clear-headed.
Qin Huai said calmly, "Go back."
In the evening, the whole family seemed to deliberately avoid mentioning Qin Dashu. The harm that family brought to them would be difficult to erase in their lifetime.
Qin Huai's auto repair shop has become more and more influential in Northern Anhui County. Basically, everyone in the important departments is familiar with him. With more people, there are more opportunities. Gradually, he became famous in Northern Anhui County and helped the villagers of Qinjiazhuang. He took on some manual work and basically every family could get 60 or 70 yuan.
With so much money, we can buy some food to survive the famine in advance. I think this winter, the food in Qinjiazhuang should be enough to eat. Qin Laoshuan said proudly: "Qin Huai, you don't know how much those old guys in our team envy us."
The situation became increasingly serious. Although it was a parallel world, the course of events was almost the same as Qin Huai remembered. The social status of Chou Laojiu had already reached the lowest level of society. Many teachers were arrested, and the suspension of classes would probably not last long.
Qin Huai was very worried. The two little girls were still young and hadn't even graduated from elementary school. What would they do if they didn't go to school? He had no intention of letting these two poor children return to Qinjiazhuang to work.
It's not that he hasn't thought about teaching himself, but he knows very well that this movement has lasted too long. Although he barely went to college in his previous life, he went out to work many years ago and his knowledge had long been returned to his teachers. Mathematics, physics and chemistry were also his weaknesses, so he was not confident in teaching others.
One day, an old man wearing glasses stood in front of the repair shop. Qin Huai said, "Master, what do you want to buy?"
The old man said, "I don't buy anything."
He looked quite miserable, which was strange, because although he looked very miserable, his expression was very calm.
"Well, look around at your leisure then." He was about to leave when the old man stopped him and said, "Don't go yet. Are you Qin Huai?"
Qin Huai stopped and said, "Old sir, are you here to see me?"
The old man didn't say anything else, but walked around him and said, "Not bad."
Qin Huai said, "Do you know me? Are you hungry? Let me get you something to eat."
There was only dried noodles in the shop. He poked open the coal stove, poured the old man a glass of water and said, "Old man, your accent doesn't sound like you're from northern Anhui. How do you know me?"
The old man said, "I've heard your name for a long time."
Qin Huai said, "I'm just a car mechanic. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly." He put three taels of noodles into the pot. The old man said, "Put a pound in. I can finish it."
Qin Zhonglin said, "You are so rude, old man."
The old man said, "I didn't suffer any loss on his side." Then he looked at Qin Huai and praised him, "You are worthy of being someone my student values. Qin Huai, I want to ask you about someone. Do you know him?"
Qin Huai said: "Old man, I can't control it, but I can still handle a bowl of noodles, no need to say anything more."
The old man said that he didn't look like a beggar, and if he wasn't, he still came to eat without any hesitation. Qin Huai didn't know who he was for a moment, but since he knew his name and acted very familiar with him, giving him a full meal was nothing.
The reason why he can get along well in the county is that he is kind to everyone.
The old man took out a letter from his pocket and said, "It seems you still don't believe me. I told you I'm not eating for free. You are here to help deliver a letter."
A letter to me?
He took it and looked at it. The handwriting on the envelope was actually from Maggie Cheung. Holding the letter, a happy expression appeared on his face.
The old man said, "Isn't it? I won't eat your food for free."
He spoke Mandarin, which was completely different from the local dialect in northern Anhui.
After reading the letter, I found out that the old man was Zhang Keyi's high school teacher, a serious old teacher who was sent to northern Anhui by the province for reform. Zhang Keyi's letter said that the old man's surname was Wu, and asked Qin Huai to help take care of him.
Qin Huai asked curiously, "Teacher Wu, why are your transformations different from others? Why are you able to run around randomly?"
