Meng Qidi held the old man's things in one hand and tore open the letter sent back by Ling Xiao.
In addition to concern for the family, the letter also included information about Old Man Zhao's background.
The old man has a distinguished background. He is a famous scholar in Beijing. He voluntarily requested to be transferred to a lower position a few years ago. In the following years, he kept a low profile as if he didn't exist. He is a lonely man at home and has a withdrawn personality.
A loner? Meng Qidi glanced inside the door. Was he sure it wasn't a stubborn old man?
The rest of the letter introduces the old man's deeds.
After putting the letter into the space, Meng Qidi turned into the yard and handed the thing in her hand to the old man.
"Just look at this first. I'll go get some candy. I think people will be here soon, and you might be watched."
Old man Zhao was slightly stunned. He held the things for a long time before shouting, "Why? Explain yourself to me, girl."
"I met the captain uncle at the door when we were setting off firecrackers just now. He said he would go back to broadcast the news." Meng Qidi's voice came from inside the house.
Old man Zhao cursed inwardly, "I'm going to die! Ling Hanfang killed someone!"
He doesn't want to be watched!
Meng Qidi had just put the candies on the big rock in the yard when a group of people came in from outside with smiles on their faces, shouting congratulations.
At this moment, everyone had forgotten what they had said before about Ling Xiao's family being unlucky. Wang Po's eyes, which had been blind for decades, were cured. They had to confirm it.
Who doesn't have some hidden injuries? If this old man Zhao can really cure them, who wouldn't want to...
But in the blink of an eye, Old Man Zhao and Wang Jinhua were surrounded by people.
"Jinhua, can you really see?" Ling Xiao's aunt Wang Cuihua stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Wang Jinhua.
"Well, thanks to Mr. Zhao's miraculous healing skills, look at my eyes, they have recovered." Wang Jinhua said with a smile.
"Oh, really, Wang Po can really see it."
"Has it been half a month since the last treatment? This old Zhao is really a miracle doctor..."
Wang Jinhua answered the villagers' questions with a smile, but Old Man Zhao became impatient with the questions and had a fierce look on his face the whole time.
On the second-floor balcony, Meng Qidi was enjoying the show. She caught a glimpse of someone peeking out the door. Meng Qidi raised her eyebrows slightly and whispered something in the ear of Xiao Chengzi beside her.
Little Orange hurried downstairs.
Ling Jinyue looked at the gate of the courtyard for a long time but didn't see Meng Qidi. She pursed her lips and her eyes were a little dim.
She hasn't come for a few days, and my sister-in-law must be angry with her.
"Jin Yuegu."
A clear childish voice rang out, and Ling Jinyue was startled. "Little, little Chengzi."
"Aunt Jin Yue, what are you doing? Are you here to see the baby too?"
Ling Jinyue's face flashed with embarrassment, and she squatted down and nodded, "Yes, I came to see Auntie. By the way, where is your aunt?"
"Auntie is very busy. Do you need help from her? She is upstairs."
Ling Jinyue subconsciously looked up and vaguely saw a figure on the second-floor balcony. She suddenly became a little flustered, "No, I'll come back tomorrow."
Having said that, she ran away.
The little girl stood there in bewilderment. Why did Jin Yuegu run away? Adults are so hard to understand...
Meng Qidi withdrew her gaze indifferently, stood up and went downstairs.
The villagers finally left before dark, and Old Man Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. It was too terrible. If he had known earlier, he would not have let Xiaoqi set off firecrackers.
The test papers were almost carved, so Meng Qidi didn't let them continue carving at night. She reviewed for three hours and then went to bed.
You don’t need to reply to Ling Xiao’s letter. Just call him when you have time.
The old man was about to be rehabilitated and return to the city, and who knew when he would come back again. He walked back and forth in the front and back yards of the Ling family with some reluctance.
He actually didn't have much affection for this impoverished city. Instead, he was reluctant to leave the Ling family because of the time he spent there. Alas...
"Why are you sighing? Do you still want this tea?" Meng Qidi walked towards the backyard carrying a small basket. After a few days, the tea trees have survived, and it is time to pick the tea leaves on the top.
"This is not Qingming tea, how can it taste good?" Old man Zhao followed.
Meng Qidi said, "Although it's not Qingming tea, the leaves are tender and it's wild local tea. Are you sure you don't want to try it?"
"Then pick it." Old man Zhao put his hands behind his back. Since she said so, he didn't hesitate.
Since she was picking tea leaves, she naturally had to pick them from both trees, but since they were of different varieties, Meng Qidi separated them.
The tea-making process is somewhat complicated, and Meng Qidi doesn’t understand it either. After picking the tea leaves, the task of frying them is given to Wang Jinhua.
After cleaning the yard, Meng Qidi planned to start printing by herself.
"sister in law."
"sister in law."
After several calls, Meng Qidi finally heard the sound coming from the door. She turned her head and saw Ling Jinyue peeking out of the door.
Meng Qidi's eyes flickered slightly, and her voice was calm, "Come in and tell me if you have anything to say."
Ling Jinyue breathed a sigh of relief, trotted in, squatted down beside Meng Qidi, and asked softly.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I haven't been here for several days, will you blame me?"
Meng Qidi picked up the brush tube, pushed it gently on the brush plate, and said lightly.
"What's so strange about this? It's your freedom to come or not. Everyone has some private matters to attend to."
Ling Jinyue chose to forgive her mother's actions that day. She had no right to blame anything, after all, she was just an outsider.
She became cold towards Jin Yue, and she just realized that she seemed to care and trust others too much. Who knows if others will stab her in the back...
Ling Jinyue had been paying attention to Meng Qidi's expression since she came in. The calmer she looked, the more uncertain she felt...
"sister in law……"
"If you feel too busy, you don't have to come every day. I'll settle your bill later."
Meng Qidi opened the brush plate, took out the printed ones, and hung them on the empty bamboo pole.
Ling Jinyue waved her hands anxiously, "Sister-in-law, I'm not busy, and I'm not in a hurry to pay the bill. My brother asked me to continue to follow you, but recently my mother..."
"Xiao Qi."
"Xiao Qi."
Ling Jinyue's words were interrupted. She turned her head unhappily and saw Zhao Youwei and Ge Mei.
Swallowing the words on his lips, Ling Jinyue quickly said, "Sister-in-law, let me do it. You go talk to them, and I'll do it."
Meng Qidi glanced at the two people at the door, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, but she still handed the matter at hand to Ling Jinyue and walked towards the man and woman at the door, "Is there anything you two need?"
"I heard that Auntie's eyesight has improved, so we came to visit her with some gifts."
Meng Qidi had no intention of welcoming the two people in, and spoke lightly while leaning against the door.
"He's been blind for decades. What's there to see now that he's better? Isn't it more practical to see Mr. Zhao? He's frying tea leaves right now."
Perhaps it was because of her intuition, she disliked Ge Mei more and more, and always felt that there was something wrong with her.
"There's still tea at this time?" Ge Mei asked suspiciously.
"Why not?"
Ling Jinyue's voice came from the yard, "Qingming tea is just more delicious. I asked the tea farmers, and they said that tea can usually be picked until August or September."
