Mr. Qiu was a little surprised. "You've been doing pretty well in the army. It's easy for me to give up like this."
"I'm old now, it's time for me to retire." Ling Xiao smiled, "By the way, Xiao Qi brought a lot of tea from home, including black tea and green tea, all of which are tea tips. Do you want some?"
"Is there any hot water?"
"Yes, freshly boiled water, from the spring water we brought from home."
"Sure." Mr. Qiu nodded gently, "Do you...do you still have spring water in your hometown?"
"Yes, this water was brought back by Xiaoqi from the mountains. We also have running water installed at home, which is also mountain spring water."
"Then you have a good life." Ling Xiao took the initiative to talk about his daughter's life, and Mr. Qiu San became interested.
"These are all improved by Xiaoqi herself." Ling Xiao put the tea leaves into the enamel cup, turned around and went out to fetch a small pot of water.
"She was responsible for the two ponds and the house in our home."
He felt very guilty about his family. Nie Zheng was right, he could take better care of his family if he lived closer to home.
"There is a pond at home, which is in good condition. You are wronging her." Mr. Qiu said in a light voice.
"So, I thought about retiring after she graduates." Ling Xiao nodded, and the boiling water poured into the enamel pot, and the tea leaves slowly spread in the water...
"After you retire from the army, will you work with Xiaoqi?"
"No, after I was discharged from the army, I planned to start my own business in the county with my friends. It's close to home and I can take care of it."
Ling Xiao handed him the enamel pot.
Mr. Qiu took it and looked at the tea with his eyes downcast. "It's good tea. You can come to me if you need anything in the future."
Ling Xiao nodded. His words could be considered a promise.
There were voices coming from the door. The two men did not continue the previous topic. Mr. Qiu blew on the tea and took a sip.
"Yes, is this tea from the wild or your own farm?"
"Xiao Qi dug this up from a waterfall in the mountains last year and transplanted it. This is the first batch of tea, so of course it's good."
Zhao Dezhong came in with his hands behind his back, glanced at the enamel cup in Mr. Qiu San's hand, and sat down opposite Mr. Qiu San without arguing.
"Why haven't you cooked yet? Are you waiting for Jin Yue to come back?"
Ling Xiao prepared tea, "No, we will wait, but it is ready in the cafeteria, we will bring it over when the time comes."
"I'm too lazy." Zhao Dezhong snorted. Fortunately, he didn't let Xiaoqi cook. It was tiring to sit on the train.
Meng Qidi and a few others brought back a lot of fruit baskets.
Zhao Dezhong stood up and walked over with his hands behind his back, "Where did all these fruits come from?"
"They are from our manor, so we just wanted to get some back for Xiaoqi." Uncle Yi wiped his sweat.
"Xiao Qi can do whatever he wants when he has time, and if he doesn't have time, he can put it in your store."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Jinyue's eyes lit up. With his words, she had already thought of what to do.
Meng Qidi nodded and asked them to carry the things into the inner room. As for what they were going to use them for, they decided to eat first.
It was not convenient for so many people to go to the cafeteria, so half an hour before mealtime, Ling Xiao led Shen Xing and others to the cafeteria to serve the dishes.
Ling Jinyue took the opportunity to put the cabbage into the pot and stir it.
Meng Qidi brought a lot of things, including rice wine.
The rice wine was placed on the table and several people grabbed a bottle each.
Yi Bo was stunned, "At least leave us a bottle..."
Although he didn't know what they were looting, this was what his Miss Xiaoqi brought to them. These robbers...
Meng Qidi was helpless, "And..."
In fact, this was a treasure in her space. She stuffed it in when she came back before Ling Xiao came back.
Ling Xiao stood up to help get the wine. He thought there was enough for them to drink, but in the end, these guys each snatched a bottle.
The food brought from home was very appetizing, and since everyone had nothing else to do that evening, they all drank a lot of wine.
After three rounds of drinking, the most sober ones were Ling Xiao and his wife and Mr. Qiu Sanye. The usually calm Yi Bo was so drunk that he fell on the table.
Ling Xiao didn't let Xiao Qi move, and first sent the two drunkards Shen Xing and Zhang Tao back to the dormitory.
Jin Yue and Wen Xi were both drunk. Meng Qidi had to get up even though she didn't want to move, and helped them to the next dormitory to sleep.
Of course, the rest were given to Ling Xiao to deliver, and Yi Bo could go to the teacher's room.
Only the father and daughter were awake in the room. Mr. Qiu said, "Xiao Qi, Meng Shuheng and his wife have been brought to justice. If you have time tomorrow, come with me to visit your mother's grave."
Meng Qidi nodded, "How did they commit the crime?"
"It is said that he was reported for corruption and keeping several mistresses. I heard that Zhong Ping was one of the informants."
Mr. Qiu Sanye didn't say that he was the mastermind behind this. His daughter should be well protected, and he should be the only one to deal with all the dark and shady things.
"Did this couple fall out?" Meng Qidi twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Yes, he did it several times. The worst one happened in front of Mr. Meng, but..."
Mr. Qiu paused and looked at his daughter. "I'm sorry about something. That couple revealed that Ge Mei's identity was fake. I was afraid that the old man couldn't bear it, so I revealed a little information. It said that they have some clues about you. If you don't want to..."
"If you don't want to, what are you going to do?" Meng Qidi looked at him and suddenly felt a little greedy. She wanted to see what this father could do for her.
Mr. Qiu smiled and said, "If you don't want to, I will tell you directly that my daughter is living a good life and has married. The man loves her very much and she doesn't want her life to be disturbed."
Meng Qidi nodded gently, "Well, I'll do as you say."
She still didn't want to admit it, especially after returning to her hometown this time, she found that she liked life in the Ling family more.
She liked to discuss things with the old man in the fields and didn't like the messy things of the rich families.
Mr. Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, I'll say this from now on. It's fine not to go back. Those two families are in a mess. The countryside is fine too. The air is good, and there are springs. I heard the mountains are not bad either."
Talking about the countryside, Meng Qidi smiled and said, "Well, we can still catch rabbits in winter. Rabbits in winter are very fat, especially when they are roasted. The oily and fragrant... Tsk tsk..."
Mr. Qiu San was annoyed, "Girl, I suspect you did it on purpose. You just finished your meal and you told me this. What should I do if I want to eat? Are you going to get it?"
Meng Qidi winked at him, hunched over to the pile of things she had brought, opened a separate bag, took out a small cage and shook it ostentatiously.
"There are no wild rabbits. This one was raised by my niece during the Chinese New Year. I stole it."
Fearing that the rabbit would die, she took great pains to bring it here. Finally, when she arrived, Xiao Meng said that the space can now accommodate living things.
Uncle Qiu was amused, but he was helpless. "For me? You are too old to compete with children for food. If you want to eat wild food, let's go buy it ourselves."
"How can they be the same? This one is no worse than the wild ones. The grass Xiao Chengzi cut was all from the edge of the pond."
Meng Qidi covered the rabbit again and said, "I'll ask Jin Yue to roast it tomorrow and give it to you then."
"Okay! Then I'll accept it reluctantly."
I have to take good care of the little girl in the future. This is too much for an aunt...
