Qin Xiaoxiao was beaten once and was so frightened that she didn't come to the house for three days. Old Mrs. Qin asked Qin Ye to go find Qin Xiaoxiao and tell her to come home quickly.
When she returned to the Qin family home, Old Mrs. Qin glared at her. "What, you think a beating will stop you from coming home? Are you angry with Grandma? Or are you planning to never come home again?"
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't bear the blame of never going home again.
Qin Xiaoxiao immediately smiled and affectionately moved closer to Grandma Qin, "Grandma, what are you saying? How could I be angry with you? You were only doing it for my own good. I made a mistake, so it's right for you to hit me."
"Hmph, really? Then let me ask you, if it's justified to hit you, why haven't you come these past few days?"
Qin Xiaoxiao raised her hand and said, "Grandma, I'm innocent! I haven't come for the past three days because I've been knitting gloves for you at home to apologize. Look, here's the pair."
Qin Xiaoxiao took out a pair of bright red woolen gloves from her small backpack and handed them to Old Mrs. Qin.
Grandma Qin's lips twitched. "Are you sure this was knitted for me? An old woman like me, wearing such a bright color, won't I be laughed to death by all the old ladies in the village?"
Qin Xiaoxiao put on a stern face, "What a joke? No, no, no, they'll only envy you. This was knitted for you by your eldest granddaughter. Who among them has one?"
What's wrong with red? Who says older people can't wear red?
"My grandma will not only wear red gloves from now on, she'll also be able to wear red clothes!"
After saying that, Qin Xiaoxiao secretly glanced at Old Madam Qin.
To be honest, Qin Xiaoxiao only realized after taking a closer look that her breasts were really white!
Despite her advanced age, short stature, and bound feet, her grandmother had beautiful, fair skin.
Fair skin, the kind of skin that so many young girls envy!
Her grandmother wasn't fat to begin with; if she wore a red cheongsam and painted her lips red, she would look stunning.
Imagine an elderly woman with a full head of white hair, wearing a red cheongsam embroidered with golden peonies, standing gracefully in a garden full of flowers, holding a round fan, and looking back with a smile.
My God, that's just a painting!
Qin Xiaoxiao made a decision: in a few years, she would definitely take a photo like this for her grandmother as a keepsake.
Grandma Qin remained silent, just watching her eldest granddaughter talk and talk, oblivious to the others who were lost in thought.
Well, her eldest granddaughter is a bit slow and a little silly.
Look at how she's laughing; she's drooling.
Grandma Qin shook her head helplessly.
When I find a husband for my eldest granddaughter, I must find someone smart. Otherwise, how can I keep a child born to two idiots?
Grandma Qin couldn't bear to look at her anymore; the more she looked, the more annoyed she became. After saying a few more words, she dismissed Qin Xiaoxiao.
Qin Xiaoxiao was still in a daze when she was kicked out of the yard.
Didn't her grandma go through menopause a long time ago? Why has she been so emotionally unstable these past few days? She gets angry so easily; one second she's calling you her darling, and the next she's ready to kill you.
Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head and quickly returned to the educated youth compound.
The red sweater is almost finished. It should be completed before the New Year. She needs to work harder so that she can wear the red sweater during the New Year.
Time flies, and Qin Xiaoxiao finally finished knitting the sweater before the New Year. When she wore the red sweater and showed it off to the Su sisters, she realized that Su Yun's gaze towards her was a little strange.
What's wrong? What did I do? Why are you looking at me so shyly?
Confused, Qin Xiaoxiao scratched her head and looked helplessly at Su Yu.
Su Yu didn't see Qin Xiaoxiao's pleading look at all, and foolishly stuffed Qin Xiaoxiao's newly made pastries into her mouth.
"Xiaoxiao, this is delicious! What kind of pastry is this?"
"Poria Eight Treasure Cake".
Su Yu was taken aback. "What? Poria cocos? Isn't that a traditional Chinese medicine?"
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Yu with great surprise, "Oh, you know about traditional Chinese medicine? Not bad, I didn't know that!"
Su Yu smiled and shook her head, "I only know a few kinds. I have a classmate whose elders are traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. I only found out when I went to her house and her elders were drying medicinal herbs."
But I don't know many of them, just a few. My classmate is much better than me; she knows almost all of them.
How could I not know them? Their family makes a living doing this. Even if they don't study hard, they'll still be better than the average person just by being around them.
"By the way, my classmate is also going to the countryside in a few days, which is also our Qinjiagou."
Qin Xiaoxiao was taken aback. "Your classmate also went to Qinjiagou for rural work?"
"Ah, I told her how wonderful our Qinjiagou is, and she said she wanted to come too."
Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly had a bad feeling.
"What's your classmate's name? I'll tell my uncle to look after her."
Without much thought, Su Yu said, "My classmate's name is Mu Jin. She's my best friend, Xiao Xiao. We agreed that when my classmate arrives, you have to tell the captain to take care of her for me."
Qin Xiaoxiao only heard Su Yu's classmate call out "Mu Jin," and didn't hear anything else she said.
She sat blankly on the kang (a heated brick bed), her expression vacant, as if she had suffered some great blow.
Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao's appearance, Su Yun and Su Yu exchanged a puzzled look.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
"Xiaoxiao, say something! Don't scare me!"
As Su Yu spoke, she gave Qin Xiaoxiao a push.
Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly snapped out of her daze, absentmindedly replied with a couple of words, and then hurriedly returned to her room, claiming that she was feeling unwell.
Back in her room, Qin Xiaoxiao locked the door, drew the curtains, opened the quilt, and without even taking off her clothes, quickly crawled into bed.
The blazing fire in the stove was so hot that lying directly on the heated brick bed for too long could burn you, but Qin Xiaoxiao didn't feel hot at all. Instead, she felt icy cold all over and wanted to shiver.
What did she just hear? Mu Jin? Was it the person she was thinking of?
Frustrated, Qin Xiaoxiao pulled the quilt over her head, and that wasn't enough; she also kicked around wildly on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Ten minutes later, Qin Xiaoxiao, with her hair in a mess, was rummaging through her notebook in the space.
According to the timeline, Miao Feifei, who has already left the show, was the first female lead. Zhou Ying, who was originally supposed to appear as Qin Ye's official partner, was the second female lead, and Mu Jin was supposed to appear as the third female lead. However, Mu Jin has appeared ahead of schedule, and she is with the second female lead, Zhou Ying. This has to attract her attention.
One female lead was already enough to give her trouble, and now another one is coming. It's obvious that God is messing with her because He thinks she's alive and well.
However, she has already escaped three life-or-death crises. Although Zhou Ying and Mu Jin are the female leads, as long as she stays away from them and doesn't go against them, she shouldn't be in too much danger.
As for the fact that Zhou Ying is a reborn female protagonist, it doesn't matter to her. After all, the only connection between her and Zhou Ying is that the money she used when she rose to power was from her.
Now that she's still alive, her money naturally won't reach Zhou Ying's hands. Even if she's been reborn, she wouldn't know what will happen later. After all, in her previous life, she looked down on Qin Ye and divorced him early on, so she naturally wouldn't know that Zhou Ying had money.
