“Your melons ripen so early?”
Meng Daqiang asked suspiciously while chewing a melon.
Meng Qidi paused, her eyes flickering slightly.
"Well, we planted it early. We sowed the seeds before Xiaoqi got married. We didn't expect it to bear fruit."
Ling Xiao nodded gently, his tone indifferent.
Meng Qidi glanced at Ling Xiao in surprise. He actually helped to lie...
"Hmm, it's quite sweet. I'll take some of these melon seeds back and plant them in the yard. I wonder if they will bear fruit this year."
"You can try it. There are also watermelons in autumn."
Ling Xiao nodded and asked casually.
"By the way, Dad, is Nie Zheng out of the hospital? Are they divorced?"
Meng Daqiang ate the watermelon in his hand and sighed, "She's been discharged from the hospital and divorced. Nie Zheng is kind-hearted and didn't pursue the matter of your sister. He just said she would be detained for three months."
He thought that if the Nie family insisted on accusing Yuzhen of murder for money, Yuzhen would probably have to stay in jail for life.
Meng Qidi paused, frowning slightly. Forget it? That Nie Zheng is so kind-hearted. He will only suffer for three months. Tsk…
but……
Meng Qidi lowered her head slightly. It all depended on Meng Yuzhen's fate. If she came out of prison and lived an honest life, she might as well turn a blind eye and let her go for Meng Daqiang's sake.
If she dares to come to her again, I'm sorry, don't blame her for being rude. She will definitely let Meng Yuzhen have a taste of what happened to her in her previous life.
Meng Daqiang stayed at Ling's house until the afternoon before returning.
Taking advantage of the night when no one was around, Meng Qidi picked five melons and secretly put them in the space, for fear that Ling Xiao would be greedy while in the hospital.
I carefully put the passbook into the space before counting the change, but I still didn't know if it was enough for the fare.
As for the old lady, she didn't ask for money, saying that Jin Yue would give her money from selling melons, and let the two of them keep it for use on the road.
Two days later, Meng Qidi and Ling Xiao set off with simple luggage.
Ling Xiao didn't use a wheelchair, but used crutches instead.
Ling Jinming sent the two to the town and then went back with the wheelchair.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two arrived at the train station. There were not many people taking the train in the small town, so they bought tickets on the spur of the moment, and they were seat tickets.
The ticket was for five o'clock, which meant that the two of them had to wait in the waiting room for three hours.
"What's wrong?"
Someone pulled at the corner of his clothes, and Ling Xiao looked down at the girl sitting on the bench next to him.
"Can I...can I get in the car in front of you later?"
Meng Qidi lowered her voice, trembling slightly. She was sold on a train in her previous life, so she actually had a traumatic experience with trains.
Afraid that Ling Xiao would refuse, she quickly said, "I'm afraid I'll lose him in the crowd!"
Ling Xiao raised his head helplessly and rubbed her head, "Okay, you go in front, there won't be too many people."
Meng Qidi looked at him suspiciously.
He chuckled, "It's not the Spring Festival travel season, and not everyone is out for the busy farming season. Look around to see if there's anyone around."
Meng Qidi turned her head and looked. There were only a few people in the waiting room, and her face turned slightly red.
"I didn't notice..."
As soon as she arrived at the train station, she was so nervous that she didn't even pay attention to her surroundings.
Ling Xiao noticed something was wrong with her, but without asking any questions, he reached out and squeezed her little hand, then took out a pot of water from the bag at his feet, unscrewed it, and brought it to her.
"Drink some water and relax. It's my first time taking a train and I'm also nervous."
Meng Qidi was slightly stunned. She knew he had misunderstood, but she cooperated and glared at him angrily, "Are you laughing at me? I have never been on a train, what's wrong?!"
"No, I don't dare!"
Ling Xiao sat upright with a faint smile in his eyes.
"Still laughing."
Meng Qidi reached out and pinched him, and the previous nervousness unconsciously faded away.
In this life, she has changed her fate, and Ling Xiao is still with her. How could the things in her previous life happen again...
Ling Xiao grabbed her hand helplessly, "Okay, okay, don't laugh. I can see it even if you speak louder."
Meng Qidi's hand hesitated slightly, she pinched him, and quickly pulled her hand back. The wrist held by the man felt burning hot.
This guy is deliberately taking advantage of her!
"Would you like some water?" Ling Xiao still had the kettle in his hand.
"Drink! Is that my water bottle?"
Meng Qidi snatched it away and took a big gulp. The well water purified by the lotion was particularly sweet and also suppressed the last bit of uneasiness in her heart.
"No, I got the wrong one."
Meng Qidi paused while drinking water and quickly looked at the mark. It was hers. She glared at him and said, "Childish."
Ling Xiao said helplessly, "Even if it's my water, what's wrong with that? You still despise me, be careful I might regret it in the future."
This time Meng Qidi rolled her eyes and handed him the kettle. Was this the reason?
Before Ling Xiao's water bottle went out, she secretly added a drop of lotion. She was just risking it, just thinking about the next dose of strong medicine!
If she drank it, not only would her efforts be wasted, but she was healthy too, so who knows what would happen if she drank it...
Seeing that his girl's expression had returned to normal, Ling Xiao stopped teasing her. He put the kettle into the cloth bag and took out a book and read it patiently.
I have three hours to kill and can only read.
Meng Qidi moved closer to him, leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes. She had to secretly pick watermelons in the morning, tamper with the kettle, and prepare dry food for the journey. She got up too early and was very sleepy.
The girl came closer to him. Ling Xiao's body stiffened slightly and he sat straight. He couldn't concentrate on reading. He subconsciously wanted to look at the person on his shoulder, afraid that she would fall over.
Someone nodded for the third time and almost fell down. Ling Xiao sighed, raised his hand to support the person, and simply let her lie on his lap.
"What's wrong? Are you in the car?"
Being moved, Meng Qidi murmured in a daze.
"Not yet, it's still early. I'll call you later." Ling Xiao took off his coat and gently put it on her.
Afraid of pressing her but still wanting to find a comfortable position, he leaned back gently. Although his back felt uncomfortable, the position was better.
Glancing at the person sleeping soundly on his lap, a sense of satisfaction slowly rose in his heart, and he became even more determined to keep the person.
This girl... this daughter-in-law can only be his old Ling family's wife. If she is heartless and wants to leave in the future, don't blame him for threatening her with her little secret...
Meng Qidi fell asleep after three hours. When she heard the announcement and opened her eyes, she saw Ling Xiao reading a book. She was stunned for a moment.
Didn't she rely on him?
How did it become lying down?
"woke up?"
Ling Xiao glanced at her, put down the book, and looked normal.
"I got up as soon as I woke up and checked my ticket and got on the train. My legs are numb, so I have to take it slow."
Meng Qidi came to her senses and quickly got up, shouting, "Are you stupid? I fell asleep on your legs and you didn't wake me up? Your legs are just feeling better, if this was caused by pressure..."
“I can’t bear to…”
The man's gentle voice interrupted Meng Qidi's reproach.
Meng Qidi paused, looked away uncomfortably, her heartbeat speeding up...
Ling Xiao chuckled, as if he didn't say those words just now.
"You get up too early in the morning. I finally get a nap, and no one wants to wake you up."
