Chapter 43: Guilty Feelings of Wealth and Jade
After seeing the message, Xu Yu'an could feel her good mood between the lines. He guessed that there was good news from the hospital. He did not continue to ask and just replied with a "good".
When they returned to the Ji family courtyard, Aunt Liu and Li Yuanyuan were pulling the ingredients back. When they saw Ji Qingzhi coming back, they flashed a look of worry in their eyes. Then Aunt Liu called out "Boss". Ji Qingzhi turned around and said happily, "Now that the ingredients are back, let's start preparing."
Feeling her joy, the two looked at each other, felt relieved, and quickly went to the kitchen with the ingredients.
If all goes well, Old Ji will be able to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Ji Qingzhi went to take a look at his room first. Although she also cleaned the room during the past three months, it was always less lively. She looked down at the weather forecast on her phone. It was sunny today, a sunny day. She decided to take out the cups and mattress on Old Ji's bed to dry them in the sun. As for the cleaning of the room, she made an appointment with the housekeeping aunt to come and do a thorough cleaning.
The housekeeping aunt was very fast. Just as Ji Qingzhi finished drying the quilt and mattress, the aunt arrived at Ji's Restaurant and was talking to Aunt Liu, who looked confused. She hurried forward and said, "Auntie, this way, it's not the front hall that you are asked to clean."
Glancing at Aunt Liu and the others' curious eyes, Ji Qingzhi tried to speak in a nonchalant tone, "My dad is about to be discharged from the hospital, so I asked Aunt Liu to do the general cleaning."
"Then it really needs to be cleaned thoroughly. It would be best if you could take out the things in the room and let them dry in the sun." Aunt Liu said this vaguely. In their place, sick people lack yang energy, so they need to replenish it. Ji Yuanfu hadn't been back for three months, and no matter how well the room was cleaned, it still lacked human presence and energy, so she gave him a subtle reminder.
"I have already hung the quilt and mattress out to dry, but Auntie's words reminded me that it is time to wash those clothes again." Ji Qingzhi almost forgot about this. Old Ji had been wearing hospital gowns in the hospital, so naturally he had to change into his own clothes when he came back. During these three months, he has been relying on nutrient solution to survive, and he must have lost a lot of weight. She has to arrange new clothes for him.
That morning, except for the time when she was needed to make braised food and meat sauce, Ji Qingzhi was busy preparing for Old Ji to come home.
She was busy doing laundry and washing various sheets and quilt covers, which reminded her of when she bought the apartment. At that time, she had imagined that one day, their family of three would gather in the apartment. In order to realize this idea in her heart, she did everything in the apartment herself. Now that she thought about it, she was naive. The voice of the housekeeper brought her thoughts back: "Miss Ji, the room has been cleaned. Is there any other place?"
"Let's clean the room next door as well." That room was the empty room that the father and daughter tacitly left behind when the backyard was renovated after Qin Xiaoxiao left. Although neither of them had said it explicitly, they both knew why they left this room behind. Ji Qingzhi stared at the door. She thought, this time, she was really saying goodbye to her obsession. This room would be Aunt Chen's room from now on. It would be most convenient for her to take care of Old Ji and live next to him.
On this day, the door of Old Ji's room in the backyard was always open, and the sunlight would occasionally shine in. When Ji Qingzhi put the mattress and quilt that had been dried in the sun in, she felt the whole room was filled with the smell of sunshine. In the evening, the wind blew in, and everything in the room was swaying, as if welcoming Old Ji's return.
In just one day, the points that had originally reached one thousand were quickly changed to three thousand and two. Since the appointment system was adopted, Ji Qingzhi's points for unlocking new dishes every day were fixed at one thousand. She lowered her head and glanced at the points on the score board. Sure enough, the points for the Late-Night Poisoning series came faster.
However, after having this series, she no longer worried about the points. After confirmation with the doctor in the afternoon and her own insistence, Old Ji would be able to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Tonight, Old Ji stubbornly did not allow her to stay and keep watch, so she was sent back.
Probably because Old Ji would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, Ji Qingzhi couldn't sleep tonight. She simply took out her phone, opened the account of Ji's Restaurant, and clicked on the comments under each video. Sometimes reading comments is a very stress-relieving way, but she never thought that one day she would have the opportunity to become a matchmaker.
The post in which Qiu Tian recorded her daily life with Qian Wan on Hongshu was moved to DaYanZai. Netizens were all eagle-eyed. From the details she posted, they guessed that the two met because they queued up at Ji’s Restaurant, and that the subsequent developments were also related to Ji’s Restaurant.
Qiu Tian never thought that the post she casually wrote would be posted to Big Eyes. Yes, she and Qian Wan were together. After the fourth bombshell of the late-night poisoning at Ji's restaurant was released, Qian Wan confessed to her. In total, the two had only known each other for about twenty days, but Qiu Tian changed Qian Wan's identity into a blind date partner when they first met, so she accepted his confession well.
Rather than saying that the two are together, it is better to say that they are trying to continue to contact each other under new identities. If the contact is good, then the relationship will continue to develop. If problems arise between the two, then they will return to the initial position of strangers. This is the greatest tacit understanding between the two. Of course, what makes Qiu Tian most satisfied is that the person she meets will not have parents or middlemen who keep asking about her progress openly or secretly. Qiu Tian thought that she probably found the reason why her previous blind date failed.
Big Eyed Boy is much more popular than Sweet Shutter, plus Ji's Restaurant has been very popular recently. Qiu Tian felt a little guilty and checked the content she had sent out before. Only when she was sure that there was no news related to the three-dimensional world did she breathe a sigh of relief. It was fine to be watched online, but she didn't want to continue to be watched in the three-dimensional world.
Most of the netizens these days surf the Internet with a microscope, but within just one afternoon, someone found out that the tableware in the photo posted by Qiu Tian was the same as that of the blogger Qian Duo Meishi Duo. So, Qian Wan was exposed.
Qiu Tian [They are so good at digging, what should we do next? How about we not meet for a few days? 】
Qian Wan [I also said that we would go to Ji’s restaurant for dinner on Saturday. Her family recently launched a lottery event. 】
Qiu Tian: [What activity? Let me go and take a look. 】
After sending this message, Qiu Tian quickly went to the account of Ji's Restaurant, only to find out that the account was holding a lucky draw. As long as the diners have consumed at Ji's Restaurant, they can participate in the lucky draw. The gifts are determined by referring to the prizes of each Ji's Restaurant late-night poison series. Qiu Tian felt that since they were already together, they would be exposed sooner or later, so there was no need to not meet, so she quickly sent Qian Wan an emoticon package saying see you on Saturday.
Qian Wan curled the corners of her lips, skillfully collected and added the emoticons she sent, and then slowly replied to her message. Sure enough, when it came to things related to food, she couldn't move a step.

After seeing the content about matchmaker under Big Eyes’ comment, Ji Qingzhi went to Hongshu to read the whole post. While reading, she kept smiling. It was obvious that Qiu Tian was just making a simple record, but she felt it was sweet for some reason. She even commented on Qiu Tian, “Then when you get married, I have to sit at the main table. Next time you come to the store, I can give you a gift of Jin Yu Man Tang.”
It was originally a teasing comment, but it was quickly pushed to the top. Ji Qingzhi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, it turned out that she was not the only one who enjoyed watching the show late at night. She saw that netizens were all tagging the real host, and she raised the corners of her lips. Well, she hoped that there would be a day when she would be the host.
After Ji Qingzhi finished commenting, he exited the comment section, then opened the light screen again and stared at the points on it. This time the Qingming Pill brought Old Ji back to life, so maybe the next Qingming Pill would allow him to walk normally? Now it seems that Old Ji may not need the Baining Pill yet.
Well, how bad can something that can only be exchanged for one billion points be? After Old Ji recovers, Ji Qingzhi's goal will be Baining Pills, and there will be no need to be so anxious to earn points by then.
Because of Ji Qingzhi's comment, the Internet exploded again in an instant, including Qiu Tian herself, who did not expect Ji Qingzhi to personally intervene. Thinking of Ji Qingzhi's comment about giving Qian Wan a house full of gold and jade, she hurriedly took a screenshot and sent it to Qian Wan, saying that she must go this Saturday. Although she didn't know what Jin Yu Man Tang was specifically, she thought the name sounded good.
Qian Wanyi always responded to her requests and asked considerately, "Do you want me to tell you how to do Jin Yu Man Tang?"
"No, I want to go directly to eat on Saturday." Qiu Tian shook her head and refused.
"Okay, if you like it, I can cook it for you next time." Qian Wan stared at his private message in the background while speaking. He did not expect that this relationship would bring him such popularity. He thought, Qiu Tian was really his benefactor.
Getting Ji Qingzhi's reply was already very gratifying, and now he even gave them a copy of Jin Yu Man Tang. At this moment, netizens all turned into lemons, and strongly called for Jin Yu Man Tang to be released in the next late-night poison series.
Xu Yu'an didn't expect that a comment could cause such a stir. Yang Li next to him also exclaimed: "Sister Ji is indeed someone who has been in the entertainment industry. A random comment can cause such an effect."
"So why wasn't Sister Ji popular before?" Yang Li couldn't help but wonder?
"I remember it seemed like it was because a director publicly said that Sister Ji was a vase that caused her to not get any good scripts." Li Jian also came over.
"The biggest reason is probably that her agent just wants her to make quick money, so she only takes similar roles and various web dramas." Xu Yu'an's explanation was clearly the correct answer, but for some reason he felt guilty.
"Damn, which director is so bad at talking?" Zhou Jun couldn't help but stand up for Ji Qingzhi.
"It seems his last name is Gu, but I forgot the exact name. You should be able to find it if you search it online." Li Jian also forgot where he had seen this content.
Listening to his roommates' voices complaining about injustice, Xu Yu'an lowered his eyes silently. Well, it was a good thing that no one knew about his relationship with Gu Jingsi.
