Chapter 233: The Fate between People]

The next morning, Ye Qingyue and her family went to the vegetable market.

Not only did they have to prepare dinner for Huo Qingchi, but they also had to buy some New Year goods in advance.

Most of the New Year goods were hard to buy or required time to prepare. Jiang Ting mentioned that he would deliver them directly at that time.

Ye Qingyue and others scattered around the market to buy, and they were busy until almost noon, and they had bought everything they needed.

When they returned home with the things, Ye Feng, who had come back early, had already prepared lunch.

After eating, they began to busy themselves with sorting out the things they bought.

Soon, it was afternoon.

The things piled in the yard and the kitchen were all put back in place. The house looked brand new and had a bit more of a breath of life.

In the kitchen, Ye Xianghong and Ye Mei were in charge of cooking, Ye Feng was helping, and Li Qi was watching.

Ye Qingyue was driven back to her room, doing her papers and homework alone.

When she could smell the fragrance of the food, Ye Qingyue also vaguely heard a knock on the door. She put down her pen, went to the front door, opened it, and saw Huo Qingchi's tall figure.

The white turtleneck sweater matched with the black coat, the man's temperament was reserved and gentle, which made people fall in love with him.

"Qingyue."

The moment he saw Ye Qingyue, Huo Qingchi's fatigue from rushing back was swept away. He smiled, took a step forward with his long legs, and closed the distance between the two.

Even though they were still one step away, Ye Qingyue could already feel the warmth of the man and the reassuring feeling in his broad embrace, and she subconsciously wanted to rush in.

"Mom, guests are coming!"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

Ye Qingyue's little feet, which were about to be raised, immediately retracted.

Turning her head, she saw Ye Mei had followed her and gave her a bright and harmless smile, "Why are you standing there? Bring the guests in."

Ye Qingyue: "...Oh."

"Hello, Comrade Ye Mei."

Huo Qingchi had just seen Ye Mei. Previously, he could only see Ye Qingyue. He was startled by Ye Mei's sudden voice, but soon calmed down, smiled politely, and handed over the gift bag in his hand, "Sorry for suddenly coming to bother you. This is a little gift from me."

Ye Mei smiled back and said, "You're welcome..." She

paused halfway through the sentence.

Because Huo Qingchi was holding seven or eight gift bags in his hand.

Ye Mei: "?" Did you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy goods?

Her previous "You're welcome" was just a general polite remark.

After seeing the pile of gift bags that Huo Qingchi handed over, Ye Mei really felt that Huo Qingchi was too polite!

"It's a bit heavy, I'll take half first."

Huo Qingchi handed Ye Mei two bags, and carried the rest in his own hands.

"Yeah."

Seeing this, Ye Mei nodded secretly. Apart from other things, Huo Qingchi was quite polite.

Thinking of the family's unanimous praise for Huo Qingchi, Ye Mei guessed that Huo Qingchi's good upbringing was probably not fake.

I'll just give this future brother-in-law some points.

Seeing that Ye Mei seemed satisfied, Ye Qingyue smiled and said, "It's cold outside, let's go in and chat."

The three of them entered the house, and under Ye Qingyue's instructions, Huo Qingchi put the gift bags on a small table beside him.

"Brother Huo, you're here?"

Ye Feng just came in with dishes.

Huo Qingchi stepped forward and naturally took the dishes from his hand. Seeing the rich dishes on the table, he couldn't help but say, "I'm just visiting. This is too polite..."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Brother Huo, you have helped my family so much. It's a rare visit. Of course, you have to make something delicious."

What's more, Ye Qingyue has already made her position clear at home. Huo Qingchi is her future partner. How can the Ye family not pay attention to him?

At this time, Ye Xianghong and Li Qi also came over with the last two dishes.

Huo Qingchi also stepped forward, took the dishes from their hands, and put the dishes away according to Ye Xianghong's instructions.

Seeing his busy and diligent appearance, Ye Xianghong nodded with satisfaction.

Although Huo Qingchi had been on good terms with her family before, the friends of the lady and the objects of the lady should still be viewed with different standards.

However, Huo Qingchi behaved very well regardless of his identity.

Ye Xianghong stopped Huo Qingchi who wanted to help add more rice, and said with a smile: "Okay, you are a guest, sit down and eat."

Huo Qingchi then sat down with Ye Qingyue and the others.

Li Qi also sat down, looked at Huo Qingchi, and said: "Your eyes and pearls are somewhat similar."

When he heard the other party mention his grandmother's name, Huo Qingchi asked: "Excuse me, who are you...?"

After knowing Ye Qingyue for so long, it was the first time that Huo Qingchi saw Li Qi in her house, but the old man in front of him gave him a familiar feeling.

"Forgot me?"

Li Qi said with a smile, "When you were eight years old, I held you in my arms. At that time, you scraped your leg to save your cousin and bled a lot. I bandaged you up."

She didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that a child she had saved before was Huo Zhuguang's grandson and the future partner of her little granddaughter.

This brought back Huo Qingchi's memory, and he said in surprise, "Are you Grandma Li?"

Although Huo Zhuguang and Li Qi had not seen each other for many years, Huo Qingchi had seen Li Qi.

He was only eight years old at that time, and Huo Ze wanted to play with him, and the two climbed trees to pick fruits.

When they were about to get down, Huo Ze slipped and fell.

Huo Qingchi subconsciously jumped forward and served as a human cushion for Huo Ze, but his leg hit a stone, leaving a long cut and making him unable to walk.

It happened that Li Qi sneaked out to look for her daughter that day, and saw Huo Qingchi injured. She quickly took him to a nearby clinic and helped him disinfect and bandage the wound.

When Li Qi was about to leave, Huo Qingchi asked her name and said that he would come to thank her another day. She just said her last name was Li and left.

"You have changed a lot, I didn't recognize you just now..."

Huo Qingchi said, "Since that day, I have been wanting to find you to thank you."

Li Qi waved his hands and said with a smile, "Didn't you say thank you a lot at that time? That's enough."

Huo Qingchi asked curiously, "Why are you in Qingyue... Ahem, Comrade Ye's house?"

"I was just about to tell you about this."

Ye Qingyue said, "I found my mother's family, this is my mother's mother."

Huo Qingchi heard this and a light bulb went off in his head, "I said Aunt Ye looked a little familiar... Grandma Li more than ten years ago, and Aunt Ye looked a bit like, but not as thin as Aunt Ye."

Ye Xianghong worked on the farm all year round, and her diet was harsh, so she often looked malnourished.

After Ye Qingyue was reborn and separated from the family, the first thing he did was to improve the diet, and he often added some nutrients that were beneficial to the body to the food and tea.

Now, Ye Xianghong has gained some weight, her cheeks are no longer sunken, and they have become whiter and more rosy.

Huo Qingchi looked at Ye Xianghong and Li Qi, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that they looked alike. He couldn't help but sigh that the fate between people is really amazing.

Ye Qingyue smiled and said, "It's more than just this fate. My grandmother and your grandmother were good friends in the past."
