Chapter 242: Did she just discover some little secret?

Ye Xianghong was doing carpentry work in the house. The old man and the old lady were old, and it was inconvenient for them to squat when going to the toilet. Not only were their legs numb, but it was also difficult for them to stand up.

Ye Qingyue gave Ye Xianghong an idea and asked her to make a stool with a hollow middle out of wood, which was also a simple version of a toilet.

Ye Xianghong was busy polishing the wood when she heard Qin Erhua's voice. She looked up and saw Qin Erhua and a young girl with short hair walking towards them from the direction of the front yard.

"What are you doing?"

Qin Erhua came into the house, looked at the wood and tools on the ground, and asked curiously, "A stool? Why is there a hole dug here?"

"It's not a stool."

Ye Xianghong explained to Qin Erhua.

Qin Erhua's eyes lit up and she said, "This is a great idea. After the Chinese New Year, I'll make two for my grandparents."

After a pause, she said, "Your daughter is really smart. It would be great if you could give some of her to my daughter."

A short-haired girl glanced at Qin Erhua and whispered, "Isn't my brain hereditary?"

"Put this job aside for now and play mahjong with me. I've been busy visiting relatives these days and my legs are broken. I don't have a chance to play cards."

Qin Erhua took Ye Xianghong's hand and walked to the front yard. "Where are your three children?"

Ye Xianghong said, "Xiaomei is helping in the kitchen, Qingyue and Afeng are studying and writing papers in the house."

"Still doing homework during the New Year? Oh, the child is too hardworking... Your Qingyue will take the college entrance examination this year, right? Yes, you have to fight at the critical moment..."

The two chatted and went to the front yard.

It was very lively there, and two mahjong tables were set up. Four people were already sitting at one of the tables. They were Li Qi and other elders.

There were two people sitting at the other table, one was Ye Xianghong's sister-in-law Zhang Shurong, and the other was...

"It's you."

Ye Xianghong saw the middle-aged man in a military green coat sitting at the mahjong table, and said, "You are... Comrade Lu Aiguo, right? I troubled you last time in the park, and I didn't thank you properly."

Lu Aiguo's body stiffened slightly when he heard the voice, and then nodded to Ye Xianghong, saying calmly, "It's okay, this is what we should do."

Ten minutes ago, when he just arrived at the Jiang family, Li Qi mentioned the previous park incident.

Lu Aiguo only then knew that Ye Xianghong was the long-lost daughter of the Jiang family, and he was ready to meet her.

However, when he saw Ye Xianghong, his mood still fluctuated.

In order not to let people see the difference, Lu Aiguo frowned and was cold to Ye Xianghong.

Seeing his distant look, Ye Xianghong didn't know what to say, so she shut up.

"My brother-in-law is like this, he won't say anything nice even if he does something good."

Qin Erhua patted Lu Aiguo carelessly, "Okay, stop looking so stern, play mahjong, play mahjong!"

Lu Aiguo was helpless. He didn't even know he was playing cards with Ye Xianghong before he came.

But now he couldn't leave the table. His sister-in-law was addicted to cards. Usually, there was no one at home to play with her, so she had been suppressing it. Every New Year, she had to play enough, and no one could spoil her mood.

If he made Qin Erhua unhappy, his elder brother Lu Aichen, who usually looked gentle, would not let him go.

Lu Aiguo could only sit at the mahjong table and play mahjong with them.

"Mom, I'm going to find Shaoyan."

Seeing that the adults were playing cards, Lu Xue didn't like playing that either, so she simply dragged Jiang Shaoyan to the backyard to play with the firecrackers left over from the Chinese New Year.

In the backyard, Ye Qingyue was writing a test paper when she suddenly heard a crackling sound outside. She thought her elder sister was idle and playing with firecrackers at home.

She opened the window and was about to tell Ye Mei to go outside and play, so as not to disturb her while she was doing her homework.

As a result, when she opened the window, she saw a small object "bang" falling on the windowsill.

A female voice screamed from a distance: "Get down quickly!"

Ye Qingyue: "..."

She squatted down immediately.

"Bang!"

The firecrackers exploded on her windowsill.

"Are you okay?"

A voice came closer and closer, with an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, Shaoyan and I just played too much, throwing firecrackers at each other, and accidentally..."

This damn competitive spirit, she couldn't control her hands at all, and she didn't expect that the tightly closed window would suddenly open.

Lu Xue just hoped that everyone was okay.

"I'm fine."

Ye Qingyue stood up and faced Lu Xue, then pretended to have just recognized the other person, and said in surprise: "It's you!"

Lu Xue: "?" This man was almost blown up by her firecrackers, why is he still happy?

Could it be that he just hurt his head?

Lu Xue was worried and was thinking about whether to carry Ye Qingyue to the hospital.

At this time, Ye Qingyue's voice rang in her ears: "Don't you remember me? Half a year ago, you were brave enough to do something righteous on the street and arrested my cousin who was trying to follow me and ask me for money."

Hearing this, Lu Xue also had some impression, "It was you?"

That time when she accompanied Jiang Shaoyan to find Li Qi who had escaped, she met Ye Fang sneakily following Ye Qingyue on the way, and sent Ye Fang to the police station.

After that, she didn't wait for Ye Qingyue to thank her, she and Jiang Shaoyan were in a hurry to find Li Qi and left directly.

"My name is Ye Qingyue."

Ye Qingyue introduced herself to this best friend from the previous life, "You should have heard Aunt Qin mention me, right? I know you too, Lu Xue, right?"

"Just call me Xiaoxue."

Lu Xue saw that Ye Qingyue looked a few years younger than her, but not too far behind, and said, "I'll call you Qingyue too."

"Okay."

Ye Qingyue was in a good mood after successfully chatting with her best friend from the previous life.

After the two introduced themselves, Jiang Shaoyan ran over with a burn ointment and asked, "Qingyue, are you okay? Do you want to apply some ointment?"

"No, I dodged quickly and the explosion didn't hit me."

Ye Qingyue thanked Jiang Shaoyan for his kindness, and then she realized that the Lu family came to visit today to pay New Year's greetings, and Lu's party was also there.

After hearing the news, Ye Qingyue couldn't stay in the backyard to do the test paper, so she went to the front yard to say hello.

Lu Xue felt embarrassed that she almost exploded Ye Qingyue, so she didn't continue to play in the backyard with Jiang Shaoyan. The three of them went to the front yard together.

"Comrade Xiao Ye, long time no see."

Lu Ai Dang smiled warmly when he saw Ye Qingyue, "I didn't expect that we are so destined." After

all these twists and turns, they actually became relatives.

"Uncle Lu."

Ye Qingyue went forward and greeted him obediently, and then got to know several elders of the Lu family and said a few auspicious words of New Year's greetings.

At this time, Ye Mei brought over the hot drinks of rock sugar and snow pear, and asked Ye Qingyue to help distribute them to the elders in the house.

Ye Qingyue went over to pick up the cups, and seeing her mother playing cards, she poured four cups of hot drinks. When she

approached and put down the cups, Ye Qingyue saw an acquaintance, Lu Aiguo!

The kind uncle who helped her mother and grandmother last time and left in a hurry.

She happened to be standing behind Lu Aiguo, and saw that Lu Aiguo had a pure set in his hand, and he self-drawn a five-of-a-kind,

and he was a fool. Looking at the pitiful change in front of Lu Aiguo, Ye Qingyue thought that this self-drawn pure set should be enough for him to turn the tables, right?

However -

Lu Aiguo ignored the cards he had made a fool of, and drew an eight-of-a-kind and played it out.

"I think I'm fooled."

His next player, Ye Xianghong, showed his cards.

Lu Aiguo covered the cards expressionlessly, and casually pushed them to the middle of the table to shuffle them.

Ye Qingyue: "?"

Did she just discover some little secret?
