A moment later, she let Qin Yaqing drink some water from her hand.
"Did you swallow the medicine?"
"Um."
"Get a good night's sleep and work up a sweat. Everyone's already at work, and I need to get there too. Team leader, I'll ask for leave for you."
After putting the enamel mug back in its place, Li Qiu noticed that Qin Yaqing hadn't lay back down on the kang (heated brick bed), and couldn't help but glare at her: "If you don't lie down soon, I'm not going to take care of you anymore!"
If it weren't for the help she received when she first went to the countryside, she wouldn't have bothered to get involved in the other person's affairs.
I've seen stupid people before, but I've never seen anyone this stupid. What's so great about Wen Qiming that he keeps throwing himself at her?
Now she's spent all her money and cash, and a little over a month ago she received a letter from home... Although she didn't know what was written in that letter,
But the fool in front of them was crying very sadly. Later, everyone in the educated youth compound could see clearly that Wen Qiming was intentionally distancing himself from the big fool—Qin Yaqing!
Originally, they were a couple that all the educated youth in their educated youth compound had tacitly agreed to be together. But suddenly, Wen Qiming seemed to have changed completely. He not only distanced himself from Qin Yaqing, but also seemed to be willing to accept the advances of the brigade leader's daughter.
"Thanks……"
Qin Yaqing was truly exhausted. She knew she probably couldn't "go to work," so she could only lie down again, but she didn't forget to thank the female educated youth who had taken care of her.
It's clear that she has good upbringing.
The downside is that he's got a love-struck brain!
"Why are you thanking me? It's not like you haven't helped me before."
Li Qiu waved casually, then stepped out of the dormitory. However, as she stepped out of the dormitory door, she turned back to look at Li Qiu: "Do you want me to lock the door for you? It'll be safer that way, don't you think?"
"I...I'll shut it off myself!"
After struggling to get up from the kang (a heated brick bed), Qin Yaqing walked to the door in a daze and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get out if I need to use the toilet."
"Okay, then close the door properly. If anyone knocks, especially a man, don't open it!"
Li Qiu gave Qin Yaqing some instructions.
"……Um."
After a moment of stunned silence, Qin Yaqing nodded.
Watching Li Qiu walk away, Qin Yaqing closed the dormitory door, then forced herself to move back to the kang (a heated brick bed).
After lying down, tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes.
Just because of a few words from Wen Qiming, he disregarded his family's objections and followed him to sign up to go to the countryside, arriving in Qiaoxing Village.
But she never expected that on the train, Wen Qiming would ask her not to reveal their relationship. She found it strange, but she was persuaded by Wen Qiming and agreed to not tell anyone that they were boyfriend and girlfriend when they arrived in Qiaoxingtun.
Moreover, although the two pretended not to know each other on the surface, their relationship remained the same in private.
When she left home, she took all her pocket money with her, and secretly took two hundred yuan and a lot of tickets from her parents' room drawer... More than a month ago, she had almost spent all her money and tickets. She was thinking of writing a letter home to ask for money, but unexpectedly, a letter from home arrived in her hands first.
After reading the letter, she felt like the sky had fallen!
Because she was afraid her family would ask her to return, she didn't send a single letter or even a telegram home from the time she went to the countryside until she received a letter from home.
When she wanted to ask her family for money, she had no one to rely on... Thinking of this, Qin Yaqing felt extremely heartbroken.
She remembered telling Wen Qiming the contents of the letter. At that moment, she cried uncontrollably, but received no words of comfort. She wanted to go home to see her mother one last time and ask her father in person what had happened, but she didn't even have enough money to buy a train ticket.
Seeking help from Wen Qiming.
I was told no.
Then, she discovered that Wen Qiming had changed... He was deliberately avoiding her. They had been in the countryside for more than just a day or two, but for almost two or three years. Perhaps the villagers didn't know they were a couple, but the other educated youth in the educated youth compound could easily tell.
But for the past month or so, Wen Qiming has been pretending not to know her, and to be honest, she is really terrified.
Qin Yaqing burst into tears, not knowing what to do now.
All we know is that she likes Wen Qiming and wants to be with him for a long time, while also wanting to know what the current situation is at home.
After all, with her older brother around, no matter how tough things get for their family... they should be able to pull through. If she writes to her family asking for money, and if they transfer the money over, then Wen Qiming... wouldn't that make it possible for Wen Qiming to get back together with her?
Shisong Village.
Song Lan was driven by Qin Boyan to the village entrance on his bicycle, which almost immediately attracted a lot of children to watch. Some of them knew Song Lan and were very sweet-talking, so they called her "pretty sister".
Called by the children, Song Lan naturally didn't stay in the back seat any longer. She jumped out of the car, took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket, and handed them out to the children with a smile.
They didn't give out more than two to each person, but that made the children very happy.
They had only heard of milk candy, but had never tasted it. Now, as they put it in their mouths, the rich and sweet milky aroma instantly filled their mouths, and they all felt so happy that they felt like they could fly to heaven.
Without lingering at the village entrance, Song Lan beckoned Qin Boyan into the village. At this moment, she certainly had no idea that someone was eyeing the family's money and tickets. And this person was none other than her sister-in-law, Qin Yaqing, whom she and Qin Boyan had talked about on their way back to Shisong Village.
"Come back to see your parents!"
"Um."
"Do you still remember the way?"
"Thank you, Auntie, I remember!"
"Growing up in the city is really different, but no need to be so polite with your aunt!"
...
When someone greets her, Song Lan always responds with a smile and politeness.
"Lanlan is back!"
As Li Jumei came out of the main room, she looked up and saw her daughter walking into the courtyard. She instantly beamed with joy. Seeing Qin Boyan pushing his bicycle and following behind Song Lan, she couldn't help but ask, "Is this your brother-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, Song Lan nodded: "This is my second brother." Then, she introduced Qin Boyan: "Second brother, this is my mother."
"Hello, Auntie!"
Qin Boyan immediately greeted him.
"Hello to you too."
Li Jumei responded with a smile.
After setting up the kickstand, Qin Boyan took a canvas travel bag and a larger cloth bag from the handlebars and followed Song Lan and Li Jumei towards the main room. At this moment, Song Lan asked Li Jumei, "Where are my dad, my eldest brother, my second brother, and my younger brother?"
“Your dad went to the brigade headquarters. As for your eldest brother and younger brother, they went to the foot of the mountain with your second brother to exercise.”
Li Jumei could never get enough of looking at her daughter Song Lan. She said, "Mom will go make you some malted milk powder."
Song Lan shook her head: "No need."
"You haven't had breakfast yet? The food at home is just ready, Mom will go and get you some rice."
With that, Li Jumei turned and headed towards the kitchen.
"Mom, no need. I brought my second brother with me today. We're going to visit my father-in-law at the forest farm. We're a bit pressed for time, as we have to go into the mountains soon."
Song Lan picked up a travel bag from beside her feet and placed it on the table. Then she unzipped it and took out a bag of pastries, a jar of fruit, a can of malted milk powder, and a bag of sugar. She said, "These are for you and Dad to help us get better."
