With Nie Zheng, an outsider, around, Wang Jinhua refused to come out and hid in the house, using the excuse of feeling unwell. She even pretended that the meals were made by Meng Qidi.
"What's the meal Xiaoqi cooked?"
Nie Zheng came over with a bowl of rice, but his eyes were not on the dining table. Instead, he looked at where Meng Qidi was sitting.
The old lady didn't come out to eat at the eight-immortal table, so the four adults each had a side. Old man Zhao sat directly at the top and asked the students to sit at the bottom. The little girl sat next to Meng Qidi, and the other side was empty...
Ling Jinyue sat down almost at the moment when he looked at Meng Qidi's seat.
Nie Zheng looked at Meng Qidi aggrievedly, but she didn't notice the interaction between the two at all and was concentrating on helping Xiao Chengzi cook.
He sat down dissatisfied, glanced at the little girl sandwiched between the two of them, and said sourly.
"Brother Ling Xiao and I are different. I am the only son in my family. I don't have any messy people to take care of by my wife. My parents don't need to be served. They can take care of us..."
Ling Jinyue tapped the bowl with her chopsticks, "Who are you talking about? How old are you? Do you need others to take care of you when you eat and wash clothes? Tsk, you can't even take care of your own children. When you get married and have children, won't your wife be the one who suffers?"
Nie Zheng sneered, "Can't you just not give birth to annoying children?"
Being pointed at and scolded, Little Orange was unhappy and put his hands on his hips, "You are the annoying one! If you had the guts, you would have been this big when you were born!"
"That's right!" Ling Jinyue was angry with her enemy. "You can not have children. You are the only son in the family. Have you considered carrying on the family line? Will your parents agree to not have children? How do you know that your wife will not like children? You are so arrogant and independent. How can someone like you have a wife?"
Ling Jinyue kept chattering away, leaving Nie Zheng speechless. He looked at Meng Qidi aggrievedly, "Xiao Qi, they bullied me."
"After dinner, I'll let Ling Jinming take you to the bus back." Meng Qidi cooled the meal and brought it to Xiao Chengzi.
"I don't want to go back..."
Meng Qidi looked calm, "You finally recovered. Don't let your parents worry about you. You should go back. You are so old now. Do something useful. Don't always rely on the old couple."
Nie Zheng opened his mouth.
Meng Qidi didn't give him a chance to speak, and sighed, "Don't come to me. You don't want fame, but I do too. I don't have time to take care of you either. I also have to take care of my family, and I have to review for work..."
Nie Zheng looked a little sad, and lowered his head slightly, "I understand what you mean..."
The man opposite was in low spirits. Ling Jinyue gently poked Meng Qidi and lowered her voice, "Sister-in-law, aren't your words a bit harsh?"
Meng Qidi glanced at Nie Zheng, without any mercy, and said calmly.
"It's not serious, and it's for his own good. His parents are old and can't help him for long. If he knows a little bit, he should take the college entrance examination and have a good career in the future. They have been worried and frightened for most of their lives, and now they can relax in the future."
She actually didn't like to persuade people to be kind, but this wasn't a shelter, and she was fed up with taking care of these people every day...
As if encouraged by Meng Qidi, Nie Zheng raised his head and looked at Meng Qidi seriously, "Xiao Qi, I will listen to you. I will take the college entrance examination and have a career, so that my parents can enjoy the rest of their lives!"
Meng Qidi twitched her lips, feeling that what this person said was a little awkward. Could it be that he hadn't fully recovered yet? What did he mean by listening to her?
After dinner, Meng Qidi followed Ling Jinming to send Nie Zheng to the town to take a bus. She gave Ling Jinming money and asked him to send him home and stay in a hotel for one night before coming back.
Ling Jinming didn't want to take the money at first, but since his sister-in-law insisted on giving it to him, he had no choice but to take it.
Coincidentally, there were originally two buses a day, but no bus went to the city at this time. The driver happened to be going back to the city, so the two of them paid for the gas and took the ride.
As soon as the two got in the car, Meng Qidi turned around and walked towards home. It was getting dark and it would be too late to go back. She was a little worried about leaving the old and the young at home.
After taking two steps, Nie Zheng's voice came from behind, "Xiao Qi! Wait until I get admitted to university and come back..."
Meng Qidi's legs softened and she walked faster.
She is not a fool. She probably came here in a hurry because she heard from someone that she was engaged to him.
When they got home, Old Man Zhao and Ling Jinyue were collecting papers in the yard, and the old lady was giving the little girl a bath in the yard.
It was the first time I saw the old lady giving her granddaughter a bath. Her face was full of smiles. The cheerful voices of the old and the young filled the yard. Even Old Man Zhao and Jin Yue were laughing.
Meng Qidi locked all the doors and walked over with a smile, "Go to bed early tonight. I'll go to the guest room to make the bed for the teacher."
Old man Zhao was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter, "Okay, then I'll stay here."
He also didn't expect that this cheap apprentice would actually recognize him.
There are many guest rooms at home, and Old Man Zhao has stayed there. Naturally, Meng Qidi cannot let Ling Jinyue go back as well. There are two rooms on the second floor of the main building. She plans to clean up the opposite side and let Ling Jinyue live there.
"I don't live upstairs. I'll live in Little Orange's room. Her bed is already made, so it's not a big deal."
Ling Jinyue refused directly. The upstairs bedroom was the master bedroom. Why would she live there? Don't confuse the host and the guest.
"Then I will sleep with Jin Yuegu?" The little girl looked up at Meng Qidi.
Meng Qidi nodded helplessly.
Old man Zhao coughed lightly, "How about this, I'll give you a few injections later. I'll come over to give you injections these few days, and I'll help you pick up some medicines by the way."
Since this girl agreed to let him study these things, he naturally had to take action.
Sure enough, early the next morning, Old Man Zhao went to the back mountain carrying a bamboo basket. Some of the medicines were in the mountains, and some herbs were on the edge of the fields. They were all nourishing Chinese medicines.
In the morning, Meng Qidi handed the printing to Ling Jinyue and rode her bicycle to the town to buy pork. On the way back, when she passed by the village, she met Old Man Zhao who had already gone down the mountain and was digging on the ridge of the field.
The old man probably has a really good relationship with people. Some people even chat with him while he is digging for herbs, the old man said with a smile.
"No, I dug it out for Xiaoqi's grandmother. The old lady's eyes were just injured due to grief. It can still be saved, but it will take some effort."
Although the man didn't quite understand what Old Man Zhao said, he probably understood what he meant. He could cure...
Old man Zhao glanced to the side of the road and saw Meng Qidi there. He said something to that person, then quickly packed up his tools and went over with the bamboo basket.
He glanced at her basket and asked, "Do you have any wine?"
"No, drinking is harmful to your health. Did I buy some soda?" Meng Qidi said.
"What do you know, little brat? Wine is a good thing, but what is soda?"
Meng Qidi pushed her bicycle towards home.
"It's a good thing. I also bought chickens and flour to make you something new to eat."
"What's new?" Old Man Zhao followed, "Apprentice, can you cook? Is it as delicious as your mother-in-law's?"
“You can choose not to eat it.”
"No, you don't have to eat what others make, but I'll have to eat what my apprentice makes..."
Meng Qidi twitched her lips. I am really putting you in a difficult position...
