Chapter 81 Dream

Ji Ze did dream about Lin Qiao, but the development was very different from reality.

In reality, Lin Qiao came to see him on the day he went to the hospital to see his grandfather. In his dream, Lin Qiao appeared two days later.

Lin Qiao didn't meet his uncle either, only his mother.

Naturally, his mother refused to admit that Lin Qiao had found the Ji family and drove them away. Lin Qiao was desperate and became so angry that he collapsed at the door of the Ji family.

When someone got into trouble, Aunt Zhang, who worked as a nanny in the Ji family, naturally couldn't just sit there and do nothing. Grandpa soon found out about it.

The old man was still in the hospital. He came back without changing his hospital gown. He watched people being sent in for rescue, and then he was pushed out dying. The doctor said that she had just had an attack a few days ago. This was because she was sent in in time. If she had been a little later, she might have died.

The granddaughter of an old comrade-in-arms who had saved his life and had an childhood marriage with his family was almost angered to death by his eldest daughter-in-law. The old man's anger can be imagined.

He pointed at his mother's nose and told her to get out, and even drove his father out when he hurried back.

In his twenty-something years of life, that was the first time he saw his grandfather being so tough. He had to get married whether he wanted to or not.

He was even more reluctant in his dream than in reality, but there was no uncle who could help his mother make excuses.

Not to mention that the person is lying on the hospital bed. If the situation is not handled properly, it could really be fatal.

So he had no choice but to marry, but he was unwilling to do so, so he negotiated conditions with his family. As long as he married Lin Qiao, his family must fully support him in going into business.

They didn't expect that just when they made the decision here, there was still a dilapidated stall waiting for them to clean up in Lin Qiao's hometown.

Lin Qiao ran away from her marriage to Ma Rongliang on the day they got married. The two of them had already written the introduction letter and were waiting to get the marriage certificate on that day. When she ran away, both families were looking for her and reported the case to the police. It took a lot of effort for their family to settle the matter.

How much would he like to marry a wife like this, even though Lin Qiao is indeed very beautiful.

So on the wedding night, he didn't even enter the bridal chamber. He drank with a bunch of childhood friends until late at night and spent the whole night lying on the sofa.

The day after his wedding, he did not take any wedding leave, but started preparing to set up his electrical appliance factory.

"Open an electrical appliance factory?" Ji Duo paused in brushing off his cigarette ash, his eyes darkening as he fixed his gaze on his face. "In your dream, did your aunt know how to make liquid soap?"

She was really very sensitive. Ji Ze had just been punished and his butt was still hurting, so how could he dare to hide anything? "I don't know. We are not familiar with each other in the dream, and we only see each other a few times a year. I just know that she has no job, stays at home every day, and comes to me every once in a while to ask for living expenses."

He didn't know whether he came to him for money or under the pretext of asking for money. He was very upset in the dream.

His business was not as smooth as he had imagined in his dream. Although he was not directly rejected because he married Lin Qiao, and he received full support from his family and got a loan, his uncle blocked him from buying a production line.

He didn't even know when his uncle contacted his aunt and uncle and directly bypassed him to help him order another production line abroad.

Of course, it was later proved that his uncle's decision was right. But when the news came back, he was completely confused. When Yu Jin heard about it, he even said that he didn't trust him and started to get closer to Chen Weiguo.

At that time, he had lost touch with many of his childhood friends. To be more precise, those childhood friends had lost touch with him, and the operation of the factory was not as smooth as he had imagined.

Purchasing wanted to cheat him, sales wanted to cheat him, and the manufacturers who sold him raw materials also wanted to cheat him. He spent a lot of money to buy lessons.

Unlike in reality, because he started out selling on his own bike, he knew a lot of things, and although the factory had some minor setbacks in its development, it never suffered a big loss.

Because starting off was difficult, he put a lot of effort into getting the factory on the right track, so he didn't have the time to pay attention to Lin Qiao.

The more he ignored her, the more closely Lin Qiao followed him. At first, she only wanted to ask him for money, but later she simply suspected him and the new female accountant hired by the factory.

He actually couldn't understand it. After all, except for the face, the Lin Qiao in his dream was very different from the one he knew.

When Ji Duo heard him say that Lin Qiao in his dream had been unemployed and asked him to give her living expenses, he didn't say anything, but his eyes became increasingly deep and unfathomable.

Ji Ze felt a pain in his butt when he saw it. "This is really what I dreamed about, not what I thought of. If I had thought about it myself, could I have imagined that I would divorce my aunt and later marry Song Jing? They are totally unrelated. That's why I said I was sick. If I don't seize the time and enjoy one day now, it will be one day less."

As he said this, he stroked his slicked-back hair, straightened his tie, and sighed deeply.

Ji Duo just looked at him like that. How could he describe his eyes? It didn't look like he was looking at him.

What a normal person.

After a long while, the man took another puff of cigarette and put his hand on the open window frame. "You said you two were divorced. When?"

"In terms of time, it was only a few months. I remember it was more than three years. I gave her a large sum of money at that time," said Ji Ze.

The main reason is that I am really annoyed and want to give him enough money to last me a lifetime so that I don't have to come back to him in the future.

Because Lin Qiao was in such a state of distress in his dream, he wanted a divorce. His grandparents didn't say anything, not to mention his parents. Only his uncle looked at him deeply for a long time and asked, "If you don't want to live with her, why did you marry her in the first place?"

"Just give her some money? If you don't want to live with her, why did you marry her in the first place?"

He didn't expect it was just a dream, his uncle still said so.

Ji Ze wanted to say something to defend himself, but when he met his uncle's cold gaze, he swallowed his words back.

It seems that his uncle really won't get married unless he wants to. In his dream, he and Song Jing already have two children, but he is still single. His status is getting higher every year.

Speaking of Song Jing, Ji Ze couldn't understand why the two of them got together.

Because Lin Qiao had a heart attack in his dream, the marriage was quickly arranged. His mother did not have time to find Song Jing to pretend to be his partner, and the two of them actually did not have much interaction.

However, Song Jing and Yu Jin were engaged just like in real life and even got their marriage certificate. Yu Jin's accident happened at the wedding.

It was also because of the production line that he was stabbed by Chen Weiguo, but he didn't know whether Chen Weiguo asked him to pass a message to his uncle. It seemed that this part did not appear in his dream.

As soon as he thought of Yu Jin and Chen Weiguo, Ji Duo asked, "What was the Yu family like in your dream?"

"It also collapsed," Ji Ze said, "but it collapsed two years later. It collapsed this year because of the Gu family's incident."

If the Yu family had not collapsed, even if Yu Jin had been deposed, it would probably not have been so easy for Song Jing to divorce him.

Because of this formal marriage, Song Jing did not move to the south as she did in reality, and finally she even got together with him.

Ji Duo listened, lowered his eyes and pondered.

It seems that Shao Ping's death was finally discovered...

"Where's Shaozhen? Did you find her in your dream?"

This time Ji Ze hesitated, "I have no impression, and in my dream, Mr. Gu passed away last year, and I followed you to attend the funeral."

Mr. Gu passed away last year?

But Mr. Gu is still doing well now, because he is happy to have found his granddaughter, and his body is much stronger than before. After he came back, he took some time to go there. The old man was in good spirits and was practicing Tai Chi in the yard leisurely.

However, if Lin Qiao married Xiaoze in the dream, given their relationship, it would be impossible for her to know about Shaozhen and Shaoping.

Moreover, Ji Duo was very suspicious that the Lin Qiao in Xiaoze's dream was not the same person as the one sleeping beside him.

Lin Qiao is rational and independent. From the day she married him, she never thought of stopping working and relying on him for support.

It was because she was rational and independent, capable and smart, and even had an inexplicable tacit understanding with him, that he gradually developed other thoughts while getting along with her.

If the person marrying him was Lin Qiao from Xiaoze's dream, he would marry her and protect her for the rest of his life, but he would only be able to protect her thoroughly.

But if it was the Lin Qiao in Xiaoze's dream, the engagement might not have fallen on him...

No one knew who said something, but from the main room came the old man's hearty laughter. Ji Duo looked over and said nothing.

Ji Ze looked at his face and saw that he was not as angry as before, so he said tentatively: "I have such a strange disease. I can dream about everything, and the dreams are as real as they are. Maybe one day I can't distinguish between reality and dreams and become mentally ill. You are the most responsible person in the family, so I can only talk to you."

The latter sentence is the purpose.

"If I really become insane, please find someone reliable to look after the factory for me. Of my 50% shares, 20% will go to my parents, 10% to Xiaoling, and 10% to my grandparents. They will only take dividends and not take care of anything. The remaining 10% will go to my aunt. This way, she will have 50% and can take over the management."

This is really a very thorough thought. I guess I was thinking about this when I couldn't sleep at night.

But everyone has the instinct to survive. After thinking about the worst-case scenario, he asked, "What do you think about me asking my uncle about going abroad?"

There was still a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "I heard that the medical level abroad is better than ours. Maybe it can be cured..."

Before he could finish his words, Ji Duo kicked him on the butt again.

The man put out his cigarette, his eyes showing his disdain for him, "I think you should just get a couple more beatings."

Ji Ze was probably really tortured by that dream. Hearing this, he dodged and hesitated for a moment, "Really?"

Ji Duo was almost laughing at his anger, "Did it hurt when you were beaten in your dream?"

In the dream, Lin Qiao was his wife, not his uncle's. How could he have endured such a beating...

Of course Ji Ze didn't dare to say this unless he really didn't want to live.

However, his uncle's words also reminded him that he and Song Jing had such a good relationship in his dream, but when he woke up he didn't feel anything at all. From this point of view, dreams and reality can still be distinguished.

Thinking of this, Ji Ze felt better. Although it was still not normal, it was better than dying or going crazy...

Seeing his nephew clearly relieved, Ji Duo no longer wanted to talk to him, "Don't tell anyone about this dream in the future."

I couldn't help but look at my nephew's heels again, "Don't wear shoes anymore."

"Isn't it pretty?" Ji Ze subconsciously raised his feet, "This is the fashion in Yandu this year."

Seeing her uncle looking at her with a frown, she hastily assured him, "I'll change it when I get home. I haven't told anyone about this dream except you."

Ji Duo turned and left.

Back in the living room, the grandfather noticed at a glance that his grandson's walking posture was not right, "Did your uncle punish you?"

"How do you know?" Ji Ze looked embarrassed.

Old Master Ji looked at him and snorted, "You keep your hair smeared like a cow licks it all day long. I don't think you are a person who likes to show off."

This description was so vivid that Xu Li, Lin Wei and even Lin Qiao in the room all laughed.

Ji Duo didn't laugh. When Lin Qiao turned around to look over, he found that the man was staring at him with a probing look in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" She raised her eyes.

Ji Duo's eyes fell on the small mole at the end of her eye. "It's nothing, it looks good."

This was a nice remark, and Xu Li who was standing next to him was amused.

The old lady was afraid that the young couple would feel embarrassed, so she stood up without even looking over there, and said, "I'll go see if the meal is ready."

However, Lin Qiao still glanced at Ji Duo, and Ji Duo withdrew his gaze.

Ozawa's dream is like another possibility. It seems absurd, but upon closer examination, it makes sense.

Out of his habit of wanting to be in control of the overall situation, for a moment just now he wanted to find out whether Lin Qiao was related to Xiaoze's dream.

But as soon as the thought came to his mind, he suppressed it himself.

Dreams are just dreams after all. No matter how real or reasonable they are, they are not the reality he has experienced.

It was this Lin Qiao who lived with him, and it was this Lin Qiao who made him think differently. If he thought about all sorts of things just because of a dream and it affected his real life, then he was really mentally ill.

Ji Duo pulled the newly-cut chestnuts from the tea table and helped Lin Qiao peel them with his eyes lowered.

He had just seen Lin Qiao eating this, but her nails had just been trimmed, so it was a bit difficult for her to peel it. She only ate a few and then stopped.

The man had slender fingers and steady movements, and soon, a whole chestnut kernel fell into Lin Qiao's palm.

Lin Qiao tilted his head to look at him, then picked it up and ate it.

He was about to peel again when Xu Li came in and said that the meal was ready in the restaurant.

The group all got up and went to the restaurant. He was about to wash his hands when he saw his eldest nephew falling behind him. He greeted his eldest brother-in-law warmly, "Uncle, I will have a drink with you later as an apology. I was really a bit rude that day. It was mainly because I saw that you were young and handsome. I had never seen you before, so I thought you were also a suitor of my aunt."

"Pursuer? Too?" Ji Duo keenly captured the two key words.

The man spoke in a normal tone and looked serious as usual, as if he hadn't heard clearly and was just asking casually.

Ji Ze repeated it again, "On the day my cousin came, I went to deliver a plastic bottle to my aunt and ran into her outside her laboratory."

Ji Duo didn't know what he wanted to ask. He frowned and asked, "Does your aunt have any suitors?"

Ji Ze reacted now, "Yes, there are quite a few. Otherwise, why would I go to National Tsing Hua University every day? I just want to help you keep an eye on them."

He whispered to his uncle, "Isn't Yanda University next door to them? There was also someone carrying a tape recorder, you know, the long one that plays tapes, singing something like "Childhood" to the little aunt."

As he said this, he even imitated the singing, "Why hasn't the girl from the next class passed by my window yet? You know what, she sang it pretty well."

"Don't they know your aunt is married?"

"Some people in Tsinghua University know about this, but how could Yanda know this? They are not from the same school. But don't worry, I have been there a few times, and they know that I am the nephew of your husband, so they are well behaved."

This made Ji Duo look at him silently for a long time, "It's a good trip, don't go there again."

Lin Qiao didn't hear what the uncle and nephew whispered in the back, but the next day, Ji Duo sent her to the door of the laboratory.

Before, he always sent her to the school gate, but this time, she immediately attracted a lot of attention as she walked along the way.

After all, both of them are very good-looking, and the man is wearing a conspicuous military uniform.

When they arrived at the laboratory, Ji Duo was not in a hurry to leave. He asked her when lunch would end and what she wanted to eat.

Such a tall figure was standing at the door of the laboratory, with quite an aura. The few first and second year graduate students who arrived later stopped in their tracks subconsciously.

After he left, a few people came in with things in their arms and looked at Lin Qiao, "Was that your lover just now?"

"Yeah." Lin Qiao could already guess what Ji Ze said that day.

It's nothing more than singing, except that the boys in her previous life held guitars, while the boys in this era carry tape recorders.

But she expressed her meaning more directly. She told people that she was married, but some people believed her while others obviously didn't.

Unexpectedly, Ji Duo, an old cadre, remained silent, but Jing'er, who is so old, actually came to claim sovereignty.

She was a little amused, "He's been on vacation recently, so he's relatively free."

"But I didn't see who delivered it to the door of the laboratory, and why did they have to come and pick it up?"

A schoolmate who had never met Ji Duo before exclaimed, "But your lover is very handsome and a good match for you."

Then even Zhang Changning, who was a bit confused in life, knew, "Your lover is back, do you need to take a few days off?"

"No need." Lin Qiao put on his white coat as usual. "There's only one item left. He has more than half a month of vacation, so he doesn't mind a few days."

At noon, Ji Duo came to pick someone up on time, and happened to meet Qi Huaiwen coming to return a book.

After two years, the boy has grown a lot taller. Due to his heavy schoolwork, he also wears glasses. The thin lenses cover his peach blossom eyes, making him look even colder.

Probably they had just come out of the laboratory. The boy was wearing a white coat and standing next to Lin Qiao who was wearing the same coat, they looked a bit like classmates.

Ji Duo paused unconsciously. The other party obviously saw him and called him "Master's Wife" politely.

However, before leaving, what he said to Lin Qiao was "Goodbye, senior sister."

This time Ji Duo wanted to take a closer look at him. When Lin Qiao came out after changing clothes, he asked calmly:

"He called you senior?"

Lin Qiao nodded and walked out side by side with him. "We are from the same college. It's a bit weird to call me teacher. I'm always being looked at. Besides, I'm not much older than him."

Ji Duo didn't say anything else. He returned home, passed by the mirror, and stopped in front of it for a moment.

When he washed up at night, he habitually reached for the soap, which was simple and quick. But his hand was about to touch the soap box, and he paused.

Next to the soap box is something Lin Qiao made for washing her face. It is in a small plastic bottle and contains a milky white paste.

Ji Duo stared at it for a long time, and finally picked it up and squeezed a little in his hand.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Wei's trip finally came to an end. After more than three years, he said goodbye to Lin Qiao and embarked on a journey back home.

Lin Qiao's project has finally come to an end. The next step is to write the thesis and prepare a report, which will mainly be Zhang Changning's responsibility.

At the same time, Ji Ze's pump-top bottles have been debugged, and the first batch of detergents and shampoo has begun to be bottled, waiting to be officially launched after the holiday.

Lin Qiao had some rare free time, so he went back to the old house with Ji Duo that night. Unexpectedly, after dinner, when he just returned to his room to rest, Ye Minshu came.

Both the husband and wife heard it, but neither of them moved. They continued to look through the photos taken during the Chinese New Year and other festivals in the past two years, looking completely indifferent.

Ji Duo also noticed the same shirt on Lin Qiao, "Is this a little too small?"

In fact, it’s not that it’s smaller, but Lin Qiao’s body shape has changed again, so it looks a little tight.

This made Lin Qiao look at him again, wondering if this old cadre would find an old man's shirt to cover himself in the next second.

Just at this time, Xu Li came and knocked on the door, saying that the old man wanted to see Ji Duo for something and asked him to go to the study.

The two were still leaning on the table at that time. The scene was really familiar. Lin Qiao inexplicably remembered the night of Xu Li's birthday three years ago.

At that time, the two had just been married for a short time, and Ji Yan even mailed her some underwear. It was Xu Li who came to look for someone, and she also went to the study.

Ji Duo didn't know how long he was gone, and when he came back, she was already asleep.

Lin Qiao lowered her eyes and said nothing, but Ji Duo looked at her and asked Xu Li directly: "What's going on at home?"

Xu Li also glanced at Lin Qiao and was about to say something when Ji Duo pulled Lin Qiao up and said, "Let's go."

The big hand was warm, firm and powerful. "Since there is something wrong at home, let Qiao Qiao help with some ideas."
