Chapter 51: The Life of a Parasite
"Oh my, that's terrible. Did this couple do something so crazy that even God couldn't stand it?"
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, you can't say that. This is a new society, a new revolution, how can we talk nonsense? If someone tells the secretary about it, we'll all go to jail."
"Yes, yes, yes, just stop talking!"
The women were chatting animatedly, but when they were disturbed by the three words "eating prison food", they suddenly became quiet and buried their heads in their own work.
Going to jail will leave a criminal record, and I heard that it will follow your descendants for generations. If you want to be successful in the future and have the ability, you will have no chance because of your criminal record.
When Qi Man brought Qi Erya back home, Grandpa Qi had already gotten up. Perhaps because of the small repairing pill, he was able to walk and his injuries were almost healed. He was now feeding the chickens outside the chicken coop.
"grandfather!"
When Mr. Qi heard the noise, he turned around and quickly put down the sieve in his hand. His eyes fell on his two granddaughters and he asked without any doubt, "Why is Daya not here?"
Without waiting for Qi Man to speak, Qi Erya told her everything that happened this morning.
When Mr. Qi heard this, his brows knitted tightly. He had never expected that Daya would be like this. He looked at Qi Man and said softly:
"Manman, do whatever you want. Don't worry about grandpa's feelings. Just be happy."
The granddaughter has been spoiled by her mother-in-law since she was a child. It is not easy to see her back after more than ten years, so naturally she cannot bear this injustice.
Qi Man smiled softly: "Grandpa, I know. There are dumplings being heated up in the kitchen. They have thin skin and lots of fillings. I'll bring them out for you right away. Eat some first to fill your stomach. We'll cook later."
"I'll get it!"
Qi Erya rushed into the kitchen swiftly and just came out with a bowl of hot dumplings.
The dumplings are translucent and floating in the soup. They are white and plump, making them extremely appetizing.
"Grandpa, this is what my cousin specially left for you. Eat it while it's hot. My cousin and I have already eaten it."
At the end, he specifically emphasized that they had already eaten.
Qi Erya knew her grandfather's temper. He always gave them all the delicious food and drinks and never considered himself.
Mr. Qi: ...
You have to swallow the words you say here!
In the end, I could only smile helplessly and savor the dumplings in the bowl.
The dumplings have thin skin and rich fillings. When you take a bite, the rich soup and delicate meat filling stimulate your taste buds.
Come to think of it, the last time I ate dumplings was forty years ago.
Thinking of this, Mr. Qi's eyes unknowingly turned red. He wiped his tears with his bony hands and choked up while eating.
Qi Man had sharp senses. When Old Man Qi cried, she noticed something was wrong. Her delicate brows slightly frowned, and her tone was a little worried:
"grandfather…"
Mr. Qi sniffed hard, his eyes moistened, and he choked up, "I'm fine, I just feel a little surprised."
She worked hard for most of her life and raised three children alone.
Although there are two ungrateful people, fortunately there is also a filial one.
It’s a pity that things don’t always go as planned.
The eldest son and daughter-in-law died on the front line, and the only bloodline left was taken abroad. From then on, he was separated from those two unfilial sons and lived a lonely life. He lived one day at a time. After all, he was an old man and it would be easier to be buried in the earth after he died.
He used to be able to take it easy, but now he has a well-behaved and sensible granddaughter. No matter what, he has to see his granddaughter get married, have children, and only then will he have the face to meet his mother-in-law, son, and daughter-in-law in his afterlife.
Qi Man blinked blankly, stood up, patted Grandpa Qi's back gently, and coaxed him softly: "Grandpa, don't be sad, I am here, and good days will always come."
I don’t know why, but when I see my grandfather crying, my heart feels so upset. This feeling is something I have never had in my previous life.
After calming down Mr. Qi, Qi Man continued to lie in the hanging chair like Ge You.
Qi Erya was busy studying the recipes. This was a recipe book that Qi Man specially found out from the space, which contained thousands of delicious recipes.
Taking into account that Qi Erya cannot read a single word, the recipes provided come with pictures.
Qi Erya only felt that the things her cousin brought back were very novel and did not find them strange. She just felt that it was convenient to get some things abroad.
Not only that, Qi Erya has an excellent talent for cooking. She made braised eggplant and minced meat at noon, and in the evening she made a big bowl of roast chicken, a small green vegetable, plus a wild mushroom and codonopsis pork ribs soup, which is said to be good for the body.
Now that someone has taken on the cooking duties, Qi Man has even more free time.
All day long, apart from eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, he would just lie in a hanging chair like Ge You, leisurely and carefree, or hide in a space to practice his supernatural powers.
The supernatural powers cannot be neglected and need to be consolidated.
Half a month passed in this dull manner, and the space was already filled with items from the 1980s obtained by signing in to the system. Almost everything one could want was available.
Old Master Qi and Qi Erya also gained some weight on their faces after being fed by Qi Man.
That day, Mr. Qi sat in the yard, looking at the bright moonlight in the sky, and sighed heavily:
"well!"
Qi Man tilted her head in confusion and couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, why are you sighing?"
"Alas!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Qi sighed heavily again, his tone worried: "Your brother said he was coming back some time ago, why is there no news now? Could something have happened to him?"
I looked forward to it day and night, but my grandson never came back.
Qi Man paused and almost forgot about this cheap brother.
Logically, he should have returned fifteen days ago, but until now, there has been no movement.
"Grandpa, I'm going to take Erya to the county town tomorrow. I'll buy her some clothes to change into."
Some time ago, I took Erya to the county town to register her household registration, but I forgot to buy her some clothes to change into. My laziness came back again and I lay at home every day. I took this opportunity to buy her some clothes.
Transportation is not widely available nowadays, so even if Mr. Qi is worried, he can only worry about it. Secondly, Manman doesn't allow him to walk around.
Of course I had to listen to what my granddaughter said, so I waited for ten days or half a month. The most important thing was that I didn't know what the person's condition was.
"Okay, when you take Erya to the county town to buy clothes tomorrow, be more careful. As a girl, you must pay attention to your safety."
"Okay!" Qi Man responded obediently: "It's already very late, Grandpa, you should go back to bed first."
"good!"
The next day.
Qi Man got up very early, but Qi Erya got up even earlier. By now, a hot breakfast was already served in the kitchen.
There was vegetable and lean meat porridge, a few pancakes and a few big meat buns.
"Cousin, why did you get up so early today?"
