Chapter 24 Good Sisters, Wear Cloth Shoes
Yang Hongwen was in his twenties and looked like an adult man. He took the initiative to show his courtesy to Qi Miaomiao, which made Shen Beiyang feel a little jealous.
Before he could react, Xia Wu turned around and introduced: "Miao Miao, Beiyang is my brother, my biological brother. He is just like a little kid, very easy to get along with."
"Brother, this is the Miaomiao I told you about."
"I know," Yang Hongwen said slowly and obediently, "My sister's sister."
Xia Wu smiled and shook the packaged drink, "It's too shaky on the road, I'll give you some double skin milk when we get back."
"Okay," Yang Hongwen was slightly excited when he heard that there was double skin milk to eat.
Shen Beiyang and Qi Miaomiao noticed something was wrong, looked at each other, and without saying anything, they found a bench and sat down next to Yang Hongwen.
"Hold on, I'm going to start the car."
As Xia Wu stepped on the accelerator, the car body shook. Qi Miaomiao, who had stubbornly refused to hold the handrail, had to grab something to steady herself.
As the tricycle slowly drove out of the town, looking at the vast farmland and mountains outside the town, the clear and refreshing autumn weather gradually blew away the haze in Qi Miaomiao's heart.
Her soul, which had been thrown out, slowly floated back to her body and she had to face reality.
Her best sister, the one she grew up with, the Xia family's darling little princess, they had driven luxury cars, ridden in private jets, and taken cruises together, and now...
Riding an electric tricycle on a country road in an unknown place.
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Qi Miaomiao turned her head and asked Shen Beiyang.
Shen Beiyang looked at the surrounding scenery happily, and when he heard the words, he looked at Qi Miaomiao and answered the question irrelevantly: "Don't say it, the scenery here is no worse than the Maldives."
"Actually, I've always had a dream. When I retire, I'll find a place with beautiful scenery like this to spend my retirement. I'll be able to plant flowers, raise dogs, and go fishing. How wonderful it would be!"
Qi Miaomiao had an expressionless face. She reached out to touch his forehead, which was not hot. Then she pinched Shen Beiyang's cheek and pulled up his cheek flesh.
Shen Beiyang couldn't speak clearly: "Miao Miao, what's wrong with you?"
"Does it hurt?"
“A little.”
"It really wasn't a dream," Qi Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Wu was driving in front, her hair messy in the wind. She laughed and asked, "Miaomiao, does this feel weird?"
"You've never been to a place like this before, have you?"
Qi Miaomiao turned the stool around, facing Xia Wu. The wind was blowing hard, and she asked loudly, "Xiao Wu, are you happy?"
"Of course! Miaomiao, I really like it here. Although my life before was very happy, I feel like I can't leave here now!"
"Really? Then Fu..." Qi Miaomiao thought of Fu Shilin's indifferent attitude before she came, frowned and bit her lower lip, and didn't ask any further.
"Fu Shilin?" Xia Wu hadn't heard this name for a long time. She thought she would still feel heartbroken when she heard it again, but it didn't seem to hurt at all. "Oh, it's all in the past. The Fu family won't let him be with a village girl."
Seeing that Xia Wu really didn't seem to care, Qi Miaomiao suddenly relaxed.
"If you've really let it go, that's great. I've never liked Fu Shilin, what a cocky guy! Does he really think he's the domineering CEO in the novels? Pah! He acts like everyone owes him eight million all day long!"
Qi Miaomiao complained loudly, she had not forgotten the unpleasantness with Fu Shilin yesterday.
Xia Wu laughed out loud at her, but she was secretly complaining in her heart, maybe Fu Shilin was really the male protagonist in the novel, the domineering president's favored son, and Yang Wei was the real daughter who returned to the rich family, then she would naturally be the cannon fodder female villain. Maybe there was also a place for Miaomiao in this story, the villain's "brainless" sister.
Unfortunately, the script had been arranged so that the cannon fodder female villain was unwilling to leave. Xia Wu just wanted to live her own life, and everything in the past had nothing to do with her anymore.
After talking, Qi Miaomiao became much happier. She pulled Xia Wu aside to ask him questions, and even the rural scenery in front of her became more pleasing to the eye.
Soon, Xia Wu brought them back to the Yang family's house. Liu Guizhen was waiting at the door. When she heard the car whistle, she hurriedly said, "He's back! He's back! Hurry up!"
Yang Guojun and Liu Guizhen went to the door to greet them. As soon as the car stopped, they stepped forward to help Qi Miaomiao and Shen Beiyang out of the car. "You are Xiao Wu's friends, right? Where did you come from? It must have been a long journey. Are you thirsty? Are you tired?"
Words of concern gushed out from Yang's father and Liu's mother like machine guns. Qi Miaomiao found it difficult to adapt to such enthusiasm and looked at Xia Wu for help.
Xia Wu stepped forward to help her sisters: "Dad, Mom, she is Miaomiao, my good friend, a very, very good friend. Don't be too nervous, it's okay."
“And this one, his name is Shen Beiyang, and he’s also my friend. Don’t be shy, maybe they will come often in the future.”
"Okay, come often. I made some honey water, picked some strawberries, and soaked the watermelon in well water. Come inside and chat."
Yang Guojun invited the two into the house. While Xia Wu was away to pick someone up, he and Liu Guizhen cleaned the house again.
No matter how well the countryside is cleaned, it can never compare to a villa in the city. However, Qi Miaomiao no longer showed any disdain. Instead, she thanked them politely and sincerely: "Thank you, uncle and aunt. Please don't be polite. Xiao Wu and I have a good relationship."
Uncle and aunt?
When Liu Guizhen heard this about Cheng Hua, her teeth ached.
But looking at Qi Miaomiao's snow-white skin, exquisite dress, and all-around temperament, if Xia Wu hadn't brought her home, they probably would never have been able to get a girl like this in their entire lives.
"No, you're welcome. Come in and sit down."
Qi Miaomiao had just taken two steps when she felt a sudden pain under her feet as if there was an electric shock. She turned pale and her body softened, almost falling down. Fortunately, Shen Beiyang and Xia Wu were by her side and supported her in time to avoid embarrassment.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with your foot?" Liu Guizhen noticed something was wrong and squatted down to check it out enthusiastically.
Qi Miaomiao shyly retracted her feet, and Xia Wu quickly said, "She's been wearing high heels for too long, they must be worn out. I'll just go get my shoes for her to change into."
"Hey, I'll get it. I see this girl's feet are about the same size as yours, so she can wear the new shoes I made for you."
Liu Guizhen hurried back to the house to get her shoes. Qi Miaomiao was helped to sit in the aisle. She took off her shoes and saw that her heels were indeed rubbed and bleeding. "It hurts so much."
Xia Wu brought cotton wool and iodine, and Shen Beiyang rushed to clean Qi Miaomiao's wound, nagging like an old mother: "I said high heels are a kind of American service, a living torture!"
Qi Miaomiao was in so much pain that she burst into tears but she still didn't forget to hit him, "Do I need you to come after me?"
"Girl, try on the shoes quickly." Liu Guizhen's voice arrived before she even showed up. Several people turned their heads and saw her walking quickly towards them with a pair of sky-blue cloth shoes. "My shoes aren't very good-looking, so just wear them. Don't be disgusted."
Qi Miaomiao’s eyes widened, old Beijing cloth shoes!
She wouldn't want to wear it even if you kill her!
After treating the wound and putting on a breathable bandage, Shen Beiyang took the cloth shoes with a half-smile and thanked her on her behalf: "Auntie, you are so polite. You can tell from your years of craftsmanship that you are a master craftsman. If my feet weren't so big, I really want to ask you for a pair to change into!"
As he said that, he pressed down the heel of the shoe and put it on Qi Miaomiao.
"It's a kind gesture from Auntie, you're welcome."
Poor Qi Miaomiao's face turned red, but she didn't have the courage to say no.
Xia Wu squatted beside her and laughed at her. Knowing that Miaomiao loved beauty, it made the joke even funnier.
"What size shoes do you wear, young man?"
"I have big feet, so I wear size 43," Shen Beiyang is over 1.8 meters tall, so it's normal for him to wear this size.
"That's perfect, our feet are the same size," Yang Guojun slapped his thigh and enthusiastically went to get him shoes. "You must be stuffy in leather shoes, so changing into a pair of shoes will loosen up your feet!"
Without waiting for Shen Beiyang to refuse, Yang Guojun disappeared.
Qi Miaomiao put on the shoes and tried to stand up. Unexpectedly, the soles were loose and soft, which didn't look good, but they were really nice to wear. At least a hundred times easier than high heels!
"Hey, it doesn't hurt anymore!"
Xia Wu patted her shoulder, looking like someone who had been through it all, "I'm telling you, wear the shoes my mom made for a few days, and I guarantee you won't like wearing any other shoes anymore!"
"Come and have a drink of water. You must have worked hard on the journey."
Liu Guizhen brought two cups of honey water. Qi Miaomiao and Shen Beiyang took them and politely thanked her, "Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome. We're all family. Come and eat some strawberries. Let me tell you, these strawberries are grown by Xiao Wu herself. Many people say they're delicious!"
The honey water was at just the right temperature, sweet and with a light floral aroma. Qi Miaomiao had only intended to moisten her throat, but unexpectedly drank the entire glass of water in one breath.
Just after she finished drinking the water, strawberries were handed to her again. She asked Xia Wu, "Did you grow these?"
"Of course, try it now. I'll take you to the fields to see the fruits of my labor later!"
"I have to try it. I never thought I'd be able to eat the strawberries you planted in my lifetime. Life is truly full of miracles."
Shen Beiyang and Qi Miaomiao picked up the strawberries and put them in their mouths at the same time.
"Is it delicious?" Xia Wu looked at their reactions expectantly.
"Xiao Wu! Did you really grow these? You didn't buy some imported strawberries from somewhere just to tease me!?" Qi Miaomiao wanted to curse in Chinese, but because her elders were there, she had to suppress it.
Liu Guizhen smiled and explained to her daughter, "I'm not lying to you. This is from Xiao Wu's garden. The villagers all say it's delicious. There are even people online clamoring to try it but can't get it. If you two like it, eat as much as you like. There's plenty in the fields, and you can even take some back."
"Oh my god, this is really good. It's the most delicious strawberry I've ever eaten. I didn't expect you to be so good!" Shen Beiyang ate one after another in amazement.
At this time, Yang Guojun brought new cloth shoes and Shen Beiyang put them on. The cloth shoes matched with the British-style clothes looked as weird as they could be.
But Shen Beiyang adapted very well, walking around the yard in cloth shoes.
A refreshing autumn breeze blew through the corridor. Several people drank honey water, ate strawberries, and ate watermelon. Qi Miaomiao said she couldn't eat anymore. Her originally very tired body also recovered, and she began to worry about not taking a shower yesterday.
Xia Wu took her back to the house and found her a set of clothes that he had just bought and had only worn a few times. The styles were very simple.
"I haven't worn these skirts since I bought them. They're too inconvenient to wear while working, so they're perfect for you."
After finding clothes, Qi Miaomiao went to take a shower. Shen Beiyang was still chatting with Yang Guojun and the others. While chatting, Yang Guojun took him outside to see the strawberries planted by Xia Wu.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Qi Miaomiao lay on Xia Wu's bed with her hair hanging on the edge of the bed, and Xia Wu blew her hair.
The room was not stuffy and there was no air conditioning. There was only an old fan that made a squeaking sound by flapping its blades.
Qi Miaomiao felt so comfortable that she fell asleep. The room was filled with the scent of Xia Wu, which made her feel at ease.
"Xiao Wu, are you really happy?"
After Xia Wu finished blowing her hair, he lay down beside her, just like he had done many times before.
"Actually, I was a little nervous when I first came back. You know, Yang Wei grew up in this family. Before the incident was exposed, her family treated her like their own daughter and did their best to provide her with the best. Even now, her parents still think of her as their own daughter."
Xia Wu could only speak out his true feelings in front of Qi Miaomiao.
"She's like a princess in a fairy tale, loved by everyone wherever she goes. I'm different. There's no place for me in the Xia family anymore. I chose to come back because I was escaping reality. But soon, I realized they're doing pretty well. Although there might still be a place for Yang Wei in the family, right now, I'm the one they care about the most."
"To be honest, I was afraid that Yang Wei would return to the Xia family and take my place. Now, I just hope that she can live a good life in the Xia family, and I can live a good life here. That's enough for me."
Qi Miaomiao propped herself up and stared at Xia Wu. Seeing that her expression did not seem fake, she pinched Xia Wu's chin and turned her face around.
After being stared at for two minutes, Xia Wu blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You..." Qi Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Did you find some useful skin care products behind my back? Why do I feel that your skin is getting softer and softer? It shouldn't be like this!"
Xia Wu pinched her face unhappily, "I'm telling you what's really in my heart. Is your focus off?"
Qi Miaomiao hugged her and snorted: "No matter where you are, you are Xiao Wu, and we will be together forever. I just want you to be happy, that's enough!"
"Besides, I don't think this place is as bad as I thought. Maybe it's because you're here!"
Xia Wu was moved and hugged Qi Miaomiao and kissed her madly, "Miaomiao, I knew you were the best in the world!"
The two girls lay side by side, and amid the squeaking sound of the old fan, Xia Wu told her about the video he had been making recently.
Shoot videos, create your own media, grow strawberries, and then make money, save money, and then lease a mountain.
When Qi Miaomiao heard that her sister needed money, she immediately became anxious: "How much money do you want? Why don't you come to me? I'll give it to you!"
Xia Wu knew she would say that and quickly stopped her: "No, no, no, this is my pleasure, and the Xia family didn't suspend my card."
She just wants to rely on her own efforts to achieve what she wants to do step by step.
Qi Miaomiao reluctantly understood and then expressed her support:
"Well, if you really need money, be sure to find me. I'm always here."
After lying down for a while, Xia Wu pulled Qi Miaomiao, who had changed her clothes, out together and said, "Come on, I'll show you the beginning of my career!"
