Ji Qingwan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but Ji Qingzhou had already put his arm around her affectionately.
"Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. Don't I know how my body is doing?"
There was a slight smile on her face, and Ji Qingwan looked at her again.
Although she felt something was a little strange, she didn't notice anything unusual.
In the end, she could only nod and give up. After all, Ji Qingzhou was acting so coquettishly towards her!
What else could she do?!
In the courtyard.
A group of women, led by Sister Li and Sister Wang, were chatting animatedly.
"It's winter now and we don't have much good stuff at home, but we can't be stingy. Every household should give something, even if it's just water radish. The People's Liberation Army is coming, so of course we can't let them go empty-handed."
Sister Wang was very thoughtful and brought out all the local specialties from the village.
However, there should be some seasonal vegetables in winter, as well as some eggs.
Eggs are indeed a rare commodity, but if everyone pools their resources, they can get a large basket.
"We should keep it secret and put it in their car. When they find it at their destination, they will not be able to return it to us."
Sister Li was knitting a sweater, the wool kept flying in her hands, and soon a piece of wool became a sleeve.
Several people gathered together, and Aunt Zhang, who was wearing a red jacket, grabbed a handful of melon seeds.
She brought her own small stool and leaned against the wall next to her. The warm sun shone on her body and she joined the conversation.
"If you ask me, they don't need what we have. If they are going to give us something as a gift, of course they should give us something high-end."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at her at the same time.
"His aunt, what do you think is high-end nowadays?"
Someone immediately followed up with a question: "After all, they came from the capital. They've seen and eaten everything in that big city. How can a small place like ours compare?"
The sole of the shoe that Sister Wang was sewing was as thick as a palm. She held up the needle and thread and guided it in the sun.
"I say, we are just here to thank them. This is not about competing with each other. How can there be any distinction between high-class and low-class? The gift may be small, but the sentiment is great."
Sister Wang nodded in agreement. "That's right. I agree. Everyone should do their best and not put too much pressure on their families. Take what you can afford. Doing things within your means is a good thing. Don't try to be too ambitious."
Ye Lanqing listened silently beside him, already having a plan in mind.
What her family has the most is wild vegetables that are good for the body, but those things are not common in the capital.
When the time comes, let the People's Liberation Army take these things back. Not only can they have a taste of them, but the organization will not be able to say anything to them.
At best, it is just a wild vegetable. If you don’t know it, you might mistake it for grass.
In the evening, when Ji Qingzhou came back from the clinic, he happened to see a group of women dispersing, among whom was Ye Lanqing.
She was about to shout, but suddenly stopped.
Xie Yanbei also came back late today. She happened to have some things at the educated youth site that she had not taken away before, so Ji Qingwan put them away for her.
Taking advantage of the sunny weather, she went towards the educated youth dormitory.
"These are so heavy! I never thought that one day I would be holding such a pile of papers!"
In the researcher's dormitory, Shen Yunqing was staggering, holding a pile of information that was taller than her head, panting.
“Hey, don’t…”
Just as she was about to reach the dormitory door, a gust of wind suddenly blew.
The top document was rolled up.
Ji Qingzhou happened to come over and saw Shen Yunqing in such a mess, so he stepped forward to help her pick up the information.
"Since you can't handle it yourself, why don't you ask someone to come and help? It won't take much."
Seeing that the person coming was Ji Qingzhou, Shen Yunqing's face was full of smiles.
She placed the documents in her hand on the windowsill and pushed the door open with one hand.
"Qingzhou, is that you? You're the best to me, you don't know how heavy these things are!"
"I originally wanted to ask for help, but the data on these files is too important. If something goes wrong, it will be very troublesome."
Ji Qingwan, who saw this scene on the road, helped move the information into the house, and Ji Qingzhou went in with the things in his hands.
The temperature inside the dormitory was completely different from that outside. Ji Qingwan took off her coat.
"The sun is rising from the west today? Why are you walking towards the educated youth site for no reason?"
Ever since Ji Qingzhou and Xie Yanbei moved in together, she hasn't seen Ji Qingzhou near the educated youth site!
Ji Qingwan lived alone in the educated youth camp. Sometimes she was bored and there were not many people to talk to.
But she wasn't shameless enough to move into her sister and brother-in-law's house.
Ji Qingzhou opened the thermos he carried with him and drank a sip of water. His throat, which had taken a big gulp of cold air, finally felt better.
"I suddenly remembered that I still have some things I haven't taken. Since the clinic is not busy today, I'll go find you and take them back."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qingwan snorted and turned her back.
"I knew you wouldn't come all the way to see me. Compared to those emotionless things of yours, I don't know how much I rank in your heart. And I'm just an ordinary sister, not Xie Yanbei. What else can I ask for?"
Ji Qingzhou: "..."
In fact, sometimes she is quite helpless.
"Sis, we are so familiar with each other, can you please stop selling tea art all the time? I see you didn't do this when mom was around."
