Chapter 68 The Thunder Bearer is Back
Qin Feng, who was determined to go home, ran into Su Lu on the way.
Qin Feng blinked. "Where have you been? It feels like it's been half a month since I last saw you. You went to... the county?"
Su Lufa had grown long hair and a beard, and his clothes were all wrinkled, like a bunch of dried cabbage that had been drying for three months. You could even smell the rancidity if you got close.
Qin Feng took two steps back, his brows furrowed.
Is he begging for food? He looks like a homeless person outside.
Su Lu scratched his head sheepishly, revealing two rows of bright white teeth. "Uncle Qin, I... went out for a walk and just got back. Are you home?"
Qin Feng nodded. "Let's go home."
Qin Feng walked past Su Lu with his hands behind his back. After taking two steps, he turned back to Su Lu and said, "It's chaotic outside. Don't run around. Your father is getting old. Don't keep making him worry."
Su Lu smiled and nodded, "Uncle Qin, I will stay home for a while after this trip and not go anywhere else."
Seeing that Su Lu agreed, Qin Feng nodded. He was about to leave, but then stopped and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. I know you want to make money, but you have to be alive to spend it."
"With my uncle here in the village, at least we can get enough to eat. But outside, I'm afraid he won't be able to manage."
Su Lu felt a chill run down his spine, straightened up, and looked at Qin Feng seriously.
"I know you mean well, Uncle. I understand perfectly well. Don't worry, I really won't go out for the time being."
Qin Feng understood the implication, though he could only hint at it; he couldn't very well treat him like his own son and beat him up.
After much deliberation, Qin Feng decided not to elaborate further.
Forget it, I'll be more careful in the future, lest I end up risking my life for a little money.
When he arrived at his doorstep, Qin Feng didn't dare to go in directly. He peered through the gate for a long time, but when he didn't see his elderly father, he quietly entered the yard.
Just as I reached my door, I saw a tall figure coming from the backyard.
Upon seeing that familiar figure that made his legs tremble, Qin Feng immediately froze, forcing a smile as he looked at Qin Aiguo.
"Dad, why did you go to the backyard? Didn't we already have dinner? Why are you picking vegetables?"
There's also a small vegetable garden in the backyard, where they grow all kinds of seasonal vegetables. Almost all the vegetables they eat at home are picked from the garden in the backyard. Like a private plot, they grow more grains. There aren't many people in the village who grow vegetables like his family.
It was already 7:30, and the sky was beginning to darken. Qin Aiguo stood in the passageway connecting the front and back yards, with the walls on both sides completely blocking out the last ray of light, so Qin Feng couldn't see the expression on his face.
Although he couldn't see clearly, he knew his old man all too well. The fact that he was standing there with his hands behind his back, not saying a word, meant that he was about to make a move.
Qin Feng took off running.
We can't let my dad catch him. If people see him being chased all over the yard by his father with a stick at his age, where will he put his face as the brigade leader?
Qin Aiguo watched Qin Feng's fleeing figure without moving, then uttered two words softly, "Stand there."
Qin Feng stood still as if he had been pulled by a spell. Large beads of sweat instantly dripped to the ground, quickly seeping into the soil and disappearing without a trace.
Just then, Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly poked her head out from behind Qin Aiguo, "Oh! It's Grandpa back."
The one who carried the mine is back; she's saved!
Qin Feng turned around and looked at the old man's niece, who had a long face.
"Xiaoxiao is here too!"
There's something wrong with this kid's eyes. Why does he look at me like I'm a savior?
Those eyes were like two searchlights, dazzlingly bright.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Feng with starry eyes, her eyes full of gratitude.
What a kind person! That old man riding a white horse... a bicycle?... who took the bus came to her rescue!
...
Half an hour later, Qin Feng's hands were shaking as he wrote his self-criticism.
After Qin Feng finished writing, Qin Aiguo glanced at it and gave Qin Feng a look full of disdain.
"Your handwriting is bad, it's terrible, you need to practice."
Qin Feng didn't dare utter a word, nodding and bowing as he promised to practice calligraphy every day from now on, hoping to catch up with his father in the morning.
Qin Feng returned home safely. Looking at Qin Feng wolfing down his food at the dinner table, Ma Dahua felt sorry for him.
"Didn't the boss bring you food? No way, I make him bring you food on time every day."
Where did the eldest daughter's meals go? Why does her husband look like he hasn't eaten for three days?
Qin Feng, engrossed in his meal, glanced at his wife and said, "I sent some, but not today. I'm starving."
It's already past this late, and he's already run around the yard seven or eight times since he came back. Even then, he still couldn't escape his father's loving beating.
Ma Dahua looked at her husband with pity, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
She made a mental note that if her husband ever caused trouble for Xiaoxiao again and couldn't go home, she would definitely bring him food as early as possible.
Only by feeding her husband can she have the strength to continue taking the blame for her niece.
...
Back at the educated youth settlement, Qin Xiaoxiao first took a hot bath in the space, and then applied medicinal wine to herself. Fortunately, the old lady was old and felt sorry for her, so she didn't use too much force, otherwise Qin Xiaoxiao would have suffered a lot.
Grinning as she put on her pajamas, Qin Xiaoxiao arranged a row of small electric fans and placed ice cubes on the table. It wasn't until 9:30 p.m. that she finally fell asleep.
The next day, Qin Xiaoxiao took out a vegetarian bun from her space for breakfast, made a cup of soy milk, felt half full, patted her stomach, and went to the Qin family.
"Grandma, what's for breakfast? I'm hungry."
Grandma Qin threw the spoon into the pot with annoyance, "Coming in the door and complaining about being hungry, are you a reincarnated starving ghost?"
Despite her complaints, Grandma Qin acted swiftly, taking two eggs from a large pot on another stove and placing them into Qin Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Eat up, shut your mouth."
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled, hugged Old Mrs. Qin, and kissed her on the cheek.
"Grandma still cares about me the most."
Grandma Qin's mouth was practically stretched to her ears in a wide grin, but she still couldn't hold back her words.
"Feel sorry for you my ass! You're always nagging me, why would I feel sorry for you? I just have too many eggs and nowhere to put them, otherwise would I have given them to you? Your grandpa hasn't even had two eggs yet!"
Qin Aiguo, who had just gotten up to wash up, couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.
No, I don't have any.
Holding two eggs, Qin Xiaoxiao flaunted them in front of Qin Ye, "Grandma gave them to me, do you have any?"
Qin Ye's lips twitched, and he honestly shook his head, "No."
Eat it if you have it, what's there to show off?
Kids, on the other hand, can't help but show off any good stuff they get.
Holding the eggs, Qin Xiaoxiao sat down in a corner and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
To please the old lady, she even learned to lie.
Luckily, she was smart enough to go home for breakfast, otherwise her grandmother's face would have been gloomy all day.
She left half her stomach empty just to eat those two eggs, because she was afraid that if she didn't, her grandmother would chase her around the yard three times with a stick.
She can run, but her grandma's little feet...tsk tsk tsk, she's really afraid she'll trip and fall.
If she really hurts the old lady, her grandfather will kill her.
Thinking of the murderous glint in the old man's eyes, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shiver.
Isn't it good to be alive? Why challenge the old man's bottom line? Her grandmother is the old man's bottom line.
How could someone as intelligent as her do such a stupid thing!
