Chapter 9: Ungrateful people don’t deserve good food
Even so, Bai Jiao still has an unshakable position in Jiang Yichen's heart. She expressed her attitude righteously and asked Qi Man not to do something meaningless.
The verbal promise and verbal engagement were just a temporary joke. Freedom of love is advocated now, so the original owner should not take it seriously. He will find time to explain it clearly to Mr. Qi later.
Although he said this, he still shamelessly lived on Mr. Qi's living expenses.
Qi Man blinked, placed the pig's trotter on the rickety bedside table, and spoke in a soft tone.
"A white-eyed wolf shouldn't eat such good things."
"Did that kid do something to offend you?"
When his precious granddaughter said this, Grandpa Qi's first reaction was whether Jiang Yichen had done something to let Manman down?
Although Jiang Yichen had been working in the countryside for six years, apart from the fact that Mr. Qi had to contact Jiang Yichen for good things and monthly living expenses, the two had no interactions.
But Mr. Qi still felt that Jiang Yichen had a gentle temperament, had been in the countryside for so many years, had made a lot of contributions to the village, and his character was acceptable.
Although she was not worthy of her fair and tender granddaughter, she was engaged and could not say anything. She naturally regarded Jiang Yichen as her future granddaughter's son-in-law.
Moreover, everyone in the village knew that Jiang Yichen and Qi Man were engaged, so Grandpa Qi had been supporting them for so many years.
Qi Man blinked innocently and told Old Man Qi everything Jiang Yichen had said to her.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Qi became furious.
"What! Why didn't he tell me clearly earlier? I was still complaining that he was not worthy of you, but he was the first to complain about you!"
Old Master Qi gnashed his teeth in anger. If the bastard had told him earlier, why would he have given him ten dollars a month even though he himself could not afford to eat?
Six years, without interruption.
Qi Man quickly calmed down Old Man Qi.
"Grandpa, don't be angry. I don't care about him. I just want to be filial to you by your side for the rest of my life."
Looking at his well-behaved granddaughter, Grandpa Qi felt more and more unworthy and touched Qi Man's hair lovingly.
"Silly girl, how can you stay single for your whole life?"
Although he was looking forward to such a life, he was already old and ugly, and he would not live long.
"Grandpa, don't worry. Since Jiang Yichen doesn't want to be the son-in-law of the Qi family, I will sever ties with him and won't interfere with each other. But I will spit out everything he has swallowed."
Ten dollars a month for living expenses is already a huge sum of money in this era.
In the 1970s, the average monthly salary for ordinary people was around 16 or 20 yuan. Now in the 1980s, the most you can earn is 30 or 40 yuan a month.
Not only can I support my family, but I can also save a buck or two?
Not to mention Jiang Yichen alone, a month's living expenses plus the educated youth subsidy are enough for him to live a very comfortable life.
Mr. Qi sighed: "It's okay. If he doesn't come back, then we don't want him. The most important thing is that Manman is happy."
Now his only wish is to see his precious granddaughter safe and sound.
The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and then Qi Man boiled some hot water and placed the bathtub in Grandpa Qi's room. While the water was boiling, they enjoyed dinner.
Then pour the boiled hot water into one bucket at a time, mix it with some cold water, and when the water temperature reaches an acceptable level, close the door and let the old man take a bath.
The weather was hot, and even in the evening, Qi Man was sweating a lot after working so hard.
Looking at the sky dyed red by the sunset, Qi Man had an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. She stretched her hands toward the sky, and through the gaps, the setting sun shone on her little face, feeling warm.
Finally, I don’t have to spend my time in a cold laboratory!
As the sun sets, the beauty looks at you.
This scene happened to be seen by Xie Yunshu who had just returned from hunting.
Looking at the exquisite and beautiful woman in the yard wearing a dark brown dress and small leather shoes, Xie Yunshu's calm eyes suddenly stirred up a storm, and his usually calm heart started pounding. The scene before him was truly magnificent.
As if she had noticed something unusual outside the yard, Qi Man retracted her gaze and looked over subconsciously with her clear eyes. The two of them looked at each other.
Xie Yunshu seemed like a caught thief. He quickly withdrew his gaze and somehow raised the prey in his hand.
"Today the trap caught two hares, and two baby rabbits. I'll give you two as gifts."
Qi Man looked at the prey in Xie Yunshu's hands. All the hares were alive, but their ankles were injured and they were held tightly in Xie Yunshu's hands. Two little rabbits were taken out of the bamboo basket by Xie Yunshu. They were white and soft.
"I want a big one and a small one."
Since the other person asked and she liked Xie Yunshu, Qi Man naturally did not refuse.
He immediately returned to the room, took out two cards of the Great Unity from the 1980s from the system, and took out a small box of chocolates from the space, which were Qi Man’s favorite snacks in the apocalypse.
Hand the money to Xie Yunshu.
"This is for buying rabbits, it's a gift. And this is what I brought back from abroad. It's delicious. You can try it."
The person in front of me had a harmless smile on her face, clear eyes, and two small dimples when she smiled, which made her look even sweeter.
Xie Yunshu suddenly felt his hands itchy, and he wanted to pinch Qi Man's fair and tender little face. He rubbed his fingers gently and lowered his eyes to look at that big face.
“You don’t need so many.”
