In the next half month, Meng Qidi seemed to be very busy. In addition to watching the septic tank built by Ling Jinming to prevent any problems, she also had to help assemble shelves at the captain's house.
Ling Xiao said the fungus would arrive in ten days, but it's been half a month and there's still no sign of it.
"That's strange, why hasn't Xiaoqi's notice come yet?"
Ling Hanfang knocked on the wood and said suspiciously, all the educated youth in the team received their admission letters to good and bad schools, and those who didn't received them also took the opportunity to return to the city, only Xiaoqi didn't come...
Master Yang glanced at Meng Qidi who was busy at the side and said, "I guess she didn't pass the exam. Anyway, she can take the exam again in the first half of next year."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Xiaoqi fail the exam?" Wang Hexiang was also worried about what Master Yang said.
Of course, now the better you perform in the exam, the earlier the admission letter will be issued.
Ling Hanfang paused, "How about I go and ask?"
"Who should I ask? If I didn't pass, I didn't pass. Isn't it embarrassing to ask?"
"How can you be embarrassed if you fail the exam? Lao Yang, why are you talking so harshly?"
Seeing that the three were about to quarrel, Meng Qidi said helplessly, "Ahem, don't worry, it's okay if I don't pass the exam, my teacher will definitely take me in."
The old man probably forgot to send her the notice. If she had known he was unreliable, she shouldn't have only reported the one he made...
Old Yang snorted, "See, you're just worrying about nothing. I already have a place to go."
Old Yang was being sarcastic, and Wang Hexiang was unhappy. "Old Yang, don't involve Xiao Qi in the feud between you and Jin Hua. If you are angry, go to Ling Xiao."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Old Yang glared at Wang Hexiang angrily, threw down the hammer and ran out.
Do you have a grudge with the old lady at home? Meng Qidi looked at his back suspiciously as he left, but still didn't ask.
She discovered there was a problem between the two last time.
Wang Hexiang didn't expect that the other person would just leave. "Old Ling, why are you just standing there? Go and take a look. Don't let your mind wander."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I told you not to talk nonsense." Ling Hanfang followed him out angrily.
There is no way, it's my wife's fault for making people angry...
Old Yang didn't walk far. He sat on the stone steps at the door, looking into the distance absent-mindedly.
"What's wrong? Are you smelling the lotus?" Ling Hanfang sat down next to him. "She doesn't have any bad intentions. She's just afraid that Xiaoqi will misunderstand you."
"It's just a misunderstanding. There's nothing to explain."
Old Yang snorted coldly. Haven’t there been enough misunderstandings after so many years?
"You, if you talk like that, how can people not misunderstand you? You haven't changed your bad temper in all these years."
"It's already half buried in the ground, why change it?" Old Yang retracted his gaze and murmured, "If I change it, will people not misunderstand it?"
"What?" Ling Hanfang didn't hear clearly what he said next.
"Nothing." Lao Yang patted his butt and stood up. "I'm going back to have lunch. You guys continue. I'll come back this afternoon."
Having said that, he just left.
"Hey, Lao Yang, I've already stewed the meat, and I'm ready to have a couple of drinks with you!"
Before he could finish his words, Lao Yang had already left without looking back, and Ling Hanfang returned to the house helplessly.
"The true energy ran away?" Wang Hexiang asked softly.
"No, I guess it's just because I feel uncomfortable bringing up the past."
Wang Hexiang curled her lips, "It's still not easy. If he hadn't misunderstood Jinhua, would Jinhua have lived such a miserable life?"
Ling Hanfang scolded his wife, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the children! Jinhua was chosen by her! If you have nothing to do, go cook dinner and call Jinhua and Xiaochengzi over for dinner."
Meng Qidi didn't listen to these old stories. It's not that she didn't care, but these were private matters, and she wouldn't ask about them unless others told her.
Wang Hexiang glared at her husband in dissatisfaction and went out to cook. Ten minutes later, she ran in in a panic, "Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi, your family..."
"You are so old, but you are still so rough."
Wang Hexiang panted, "Ling Xiao is back."
Bang!
The hammer in Meng Qidi's hand fell to the ground, full of surprise.
"What? Ling Xiao is back? Why did he come back? Didn't he just go out not long ago?" Ling Hanfang felt that he had said something wrong as soon as he finished speaking.
Bah! He is old and can't even talk. That guy is definitely missing his wife.
Staring at her man, Wang Hexiang said, "Xiaoqi, can you go back and take a look?"
She steamed the rice and went to the west of the village to call for help. But before she went in, she saw Ling Xiao carrying Xiao Chengzi to the backyard, saying that they were picking dates, so she ran back quickly.
Meng Qidi nodded, put down the hammer and went back, still confused in her heart, why did Ling Xiao come back? Didn't he say it was true?
Before I even entered the courtyard, I heard a familiar voice, "The big red dates from our garden are still the best. Oh, you guys are really good at keeping them until they turn red."
Red dates? Meng Qidi twitched her lips. You're overthinking it. She didn't leave them. She was too busy and forgot to pick them...
These dates have been ripe for a long time. Perhaps because they were watered with Yuquan water, the red dates did not fall off even after they were ripe. The longer they stay on the tree, the sweeter they become.
Wait, why is the old man here too? Is he here to deliver the notice in person?
"Xiao Qi? Why didn't you tell me you were back? Why are you standing at the door in a daze?" Wang Jinhua came over after hearing the barking of a dog, and was startled when she saw someone at the door.
Meng Qidi glanced around the yard and saw that Old Man Zhao had sat in his special seat again. "Why is he here? Is Ling Xiao back too?"
Seeing her daughter-in-law coming back, the old lady was delighted. "Yes, I just got home. I said I would go call you, but they didn't agree. They also said they wanted to give you a surprise."
Meng Qidi was silent...
Almost scared...
"Who is it? Xiaoqi is back? Why are you standing at the door?" Old man Zhao shouted when he heard the voice.
"Well, go in." Meng Qidi smiled and pushed open the other half of the door.
Ling Xiao was just coming back with Xiao Chengzi in his arms, rubbing the mud off his feet. When he saw Meng Qidi, he was stunned for a moment, then a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Are you done?"
Meng Qidi was not so happy. She shook her head and said, "I have to go again in the afternoon. I haven't finished it yet."
"Aunt!" When the little girl saw her aunt coming back, she broke free from Ling Xiao's arms, rushed over, hugged Meng Qidi's thighs, raised her little hands, and handed the reddest and best red dates to Meng Qidi.
"Aunt, you eat."
Meng Qidi reluctantly continued, and picked up the little girl, "Why are you back?"
Before Ling Xiao could say anything, Old Man Zhao snorted in dissatisfaction, "He abused his power for personal gain. When he heard that I came to see you, he immediately applied to protect me."
If you miss your wife, just miss her. Isn't it shameful to find such a lame excuse?
Ling Xiao...
Looking at Meng Qidi innocently,
"You're looking for me? You came here to deliver the notice?"
"Is it not possible? I, your teacher, personally delivered the admission letter. What does that mean? It means that I value you. No one will dare to look down on you in the future!"
Meng Qidi's eyebrows jumped. She came to deliver the notice in person? If you didn't know her, you would think she was so powerful...
