"It's really just twenty." Qi Bin lowered his eyes, his gaze wandering, a little afraid to look into her eyes.
Qi Chunqi chuckled twice.
Qi Bin pursed his lips and said nothing.
She knew what was going on and didn't push him any further. She just said, "Then give me back the twenty."
Qi Bin was a little reluctant: "I'm already broke, I don't have twenty left."
"Give me all the remaining ones." Qi Chunqi was easy to talk to.
After a while, Qi Bin said reluctantly, "There are still twelve dollars left."
"You only made eight dollars in half a month. You're quite capable."
"No, not much." Qi Bin lowered his head: "I just bought a new pair of shoes."
Qi Chunqi looked down at his shoes.
Qi Bin subconsciously shrank back.
Qi Chunyi rolled his eyes and said, "I'm fine with just paying me back the twelve dollars."
"I'll return the money to you and we'll make peace." Qi Bin took the opportunity to say.
"You give it back to me first." Qi Chunqi was ambiguous.
"Okay." Qi Bin agreed readily and went into the main room. He didn't know what his father was doing in the main room. He didn't come out until a long time later.
Qi Chunyi's noodles were rolled out and put into the pot, and the poached eggs that were put into the pot earlier were also cooked and floated up.
Qi Bin reluctantly handed Qi Chunyi a big unity banknote and two one-yuan bills.
Qi Chunqi put it into his pocket without any hesitation.
Qi Bin said, "Sister, I've returned the money to you, and that's the end of it. We are siblings, and we have to take care of each other when we get to the Great Northern Wilderness. Please don't secretly hold a grudge against me."
"It depends on your performance."
Qi Chunyi did not agree readily, but it was precisely because of this that Qi Bin was willing to believe that she was seriously considering forgiving him.
If she really agreed readily, Qi Bin would have to worry that she was just fooling him.
"Don't worry, sister. I'm always on your side."
Qi Bin followed Qi Chunyi and offered his courtesy: "Sister, let me help you light the fire."
Qi Chunqi refused: "No, the noodles are already cooked."
After saying that, she picked up the chopsticks and scooped out the noodles, then added salt and soy sauce, and unceremoniously scooped a spoonful of lard into the bowl and stirred it.
The snow-white lard melted when heated, and soon a layer of shiny oil floated on the noodles.
Qi Bin smelled the aroma of lard and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He said shamelessly, "Sister, you definitely can't finish this big bowl of noodles. Give me some and I'll help you share the burden."
Qi Chunyi glanced at him and asked, "Didn't you eat enough this morning?"
Qi Bin nodded and said, "This morning, Mom only cooked some sweet potato porridge with some pickled vegetables. It was tasteless and I couldn't eat it."
"oh."
Qi Chunyi reacted coldly.
Qi Bin was a little hurt and looked at her pitifully: "Sister, I didn't eat enough this morning, won't you give me some?"
"If I share it with you, I won't be full." After saying that, Qi Chunqi took the bowl and walked away.
Qi Bin: “…”
Did his sister really forgive him?
How come he doesn't feel like that?
