Thinking of this, An Hongdou couldn't help but laugh.
But she didn't feel guilty at all. If she hadn't taken care of him, Ergouzi would probably have trouble getting enough to eat based on the little output from the fields, not to mention that now he had money and food, so he could live as well as he wanted.
An Hongdou thought that she had not treated him unfairly in the slightest.
Moreover, she has already included Ergouzi into her circle of friends. If there is a chance in the future, his steps will definitely not be limited to Qingshan Village.
Of course, if he was smarter and took the opportunity to save some money, his future financial prospects would be limitless.
An Hongdou packed up her things early. Looking at the sky outside, she realized that only half of the afternoon had passed. She remembered that she had promised Lu Qi that she would go see him before leaving.
Thinking about it, An Hongdou said, "Mom, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do in town. Can you stay here and look after the kids for a while?"
"Okay, go ahead." Mrs. An said, "Don't worry about the family. I will take good care of the child."
An Hongdou nodded, and when she walked into the yard she remembered that her bicycle had been ridden away by Shen Xiangzhi.
But it doesn’t matter, she still has some in her space.
After leaving the village, I found a secluded place, took out my bicycle and rode to the town.
Halfway through the journey, she took out half a bag of forty or fifty kilograms of flour and two pheasants from the space. She put the flour on the back seat, and put the pheasants in a bag and hung them on the big bar in front.
An Hongdou did not act sneakily this time, but went straight to the door of the Lu family and knocked on it.
"Who is it?" A woman's voice came from inside. An Hongdou guessed that it should be the voice of Lu Qi's aunt.
Sure enough, when the door was opened, the woman that An Hongdou saw while she was lying on the wall last time no longer had a big belly. She was wrapped tightly and had a square scarf on her head.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?" the woman looked at An Hongdou puzzledly and asked.
"Hello, sister-in-law. I'm here to look for Lu Qi. Is he here?" An Hongdou asked directly.
"You are talking about Xiaoqi. He is not here. He went to school. Who are you?" The woman looked at An Hongdou puzzledly. She knew most of the relatives of the Lu family, but after the incident at the Lu family, she had almost no contact with them.
Otherwise, after the old lady got into trouble, it would not have been their turn to take on the task of taking care of Lu Qi.
But the girl in front of her was so beautiful that she had never seen such a pretty girl before.
"I'm Lu Qi's friend. I'm leaving here soon, and I promised to come see him before I leave." An Hongdou thought, there's nothing she couldn't say. After Mrs. Lu passed away, Lu Qi was adopted by a relative, and the issue of the Lu family's background naturally disappeared.
"Oh, so you're Xiaoqi's friend. Why don't you come in and sit down first? Xiaoqi should be back from school soon." The woman asked her with a smile.
"No need. I just came to give him something. Since he's not here, I won't disturb him. Please wait for him to come back and tell him." An Hongdou didn't know the person. Besides, Lu Qi, whom she knew, was not here. It was not appropriate to just rush to his house, so she refused.
After saying that, An Hongdou walked to the side and took the bags of flour and pheasants off the bicycle.
Thinking about the woman's attire, he realized that she had just given birth to a child. He took out two bags of brown sugar from the space using his body as a cover and returned to the door to hand them to the woman.
"This... this is too much. I can't accept it without doing anything." She didn't see what was in the other bag, but when this half bag of flour was placed on the ground, she could still see that white powder was obviously overflowing.
An Hongdou smiled, "I've known Grandma Lu since she was still alive. She was the one who was most worried about Lu Qi's life. Although this is the first time I've met my sister-in-law, I'm thinking that since Grandma Lu can entrust Lu Qi to you and your wife, it means that you are trustworthy and worthy of trust. Besides, these things are for Lu Qi, so you don't have to be embarrassed. When he comes back, tell him that they were sent by my sister, and he'll understand."
An Hongdou never told them her real name. When Old Madam Lu was around, she always called her "girl", and Lu Qi even called her "sister".
The woman was really embarrassed to accept them at first, but when she heard An Hongdou say that these things were for Lu Qi, she didn't refuse anymore.
The couple's life was not easy either. To be honest, the reason they agreed to help take care of Lu Qi was because Old Mrs. Lu promised that when Lu Qi grew up, the house would belong to them and she would also leave them a sum of money.
During this period of time, seeing how well-behaved and sensible Lu Qi is, and comparing him with his own two naughty children, I feel more and more that it is not easy for this child.
They can't be said to be good people, but since they have promised Mrs. Lu, they will definitely raise Lu Qi to adulthood.
Apart from anything else, no matter what their family eats and drinks, Lu Qi will not suffer any loss. The money for their schooling is also prepared by Old Lady Lu, so the couple has gained the reputation of being good people for nothing.
But she would definitely not explain this to An Hongdou.
An Hongdou didn't know either. If she knew, she would definitely understand why Old Mrs. Lu was determined to exchange everything she had for money during that period of time.
After leaving the Lu family, An Hongdou pushed her bicycle and walked aimlessly on the street, thinking about her life after arriving in Jiangcheng.
Until someone patted her on the back, "Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Lu Qi happened to meet An Hongdou on the way back from school. He called her several times but she didn't respond, so he chased after her and asked her.
"Xiao Qi..." An Hongdou was patted and suddenly came back to her senses. She smiled and replied, "Of course I am thinking about you. I will leave here tomorrow. I just went to your house and heard from your aunt that you went to school. I thought I would not be able to see you before I left."
After hearing An Hongdou's words, Lu Qi looked a little gloomy.
Standing behind him was a boy who was a little shorter than him, also carrying a cross-body bag. His big eyes were wide open, looking at An Hongdou curiously.
Children are very cute. An Hongdou took out a handful of candies from her pocket and gave some to Lu Qi and some to the child.
Lu Qi did not refuse. Instead, he took it and put it in his own pocket, and then put the other half into the child's pocket. Then he spoke to him and asked him to wait for him aside.
After the child ran away obediently, Lu Qi turned around and asked An Hongdou sadly, "Sister, do you really have to leave?"
An Hongdou nodded, feeling quite helpless.
To be precise, she and Lu Qi only had a business relationship, and she would not decide to stay just to make him feel bad.
