Chapter 40 Brother Ji, don’t you like me?
Ji Yanli's face suddenly felt hot again.
When he was choosing furniture for Qiao Yanxin that day, he somehow chose a set of beds and cabinets that he liked. Subconsciously, he wanted to live in her house, or he wanted to build a small home with her...
"Yanxin, that bed and the cabinet... maybe I was reckless and didn't consider your feelings."
Qiao Yanxin smiled with curved eyebrows and looked into Ji Yanli's eyes and asked, "Do you want to live in my house?"
Ji Yanli: "I..."
Qiao Yan smiled and looked into his eyes. It was obvious that she had to get an answer today.
"Brother Ji, don't you want to live in my house?"
There seemed to be two small flames burning in her eyes, burning his heart.
Ji Yanli's Adam's apple rolled, and a word popped out from his thin lips: "I want to!"
Qiao Yanxin smiled instantly and asked, "When we were having dinner at Aunt Liu's house just now, Aunt Liu wanted to introduce me to you, why didn't you say anything?
Don’t you like me?
Still think I'm not good enough? ”
Ji Yanli didn't expect that he would ask so directly, but these two questions were like two stones thrown into the water, making his heart surge and his mind rippling.
He took a deep breath quietly, trying to calm himself down, lowered his head slightly, and cast his fiery eyes on Qiao Yanxin's eyes, and said seriously: "Yanxin, I have always been..."
He was only halfway through his words when a loud car horn suddenly sounded outside the door, followed by Lu Zhengheng's urgent shouting outside the door: "Old Ji, there is a mission, hurry up and get going!"
Ji Yanli was halfway through his confession when he was interrupted. He was extremely upset.
Lu Zhengheng urged again outside the door: "Hurry up, don't waste time!"
Ji Yanli shouted, “Here we come!”
He hurriedly said to Qiao Yanxin: "Yanxin, I haven't finished what I want to say. I will tell you slowly when I come back."
"Okay, Brother Ji, be safe!"
Qiao Yanxin knew that for a soldier, mission is more important than anything else. It didn’t matter. She had the patience to wait for him to come back.
Ji Yanli strode out of the yard, opened the car door and got in.
He rolled down the window and took a deep look at Qiao Yanxin. Qiao Yanxin watched the car disappear at the entrance of the village before turning back to the house.
While steering, Lu Zhengheng jokingly said, "I just saw that little girl almost shed tears when she heard that you were leaving. She seemed reluctant to let you go. When are you two getting married?"
Ji Yanli rolled his eyes at him and said, "Stop worrying about my affairs. Tell me, what is it that's making you so anxious?"
Lu Zhengheng stopped joking and said seriously, "It's raining heavily in Jincheng Town, 50 miles upstream of the reservoir. The rain hasn't stopped yet. We have to go to Jincheng immediately to help evacuate the people.
In addition, we have to guard against rising water levels upstream that may destroy the reservoir, and there are large villages downstream of the reservoir. ”
Yanghua County is located in the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains, with many valleys and rivers. Therefore, heavy rains often occur in the valleys starting from early spring, and flood prevention work has always been a major issue in Yanghua County.
Fortunately, there is a mountain between Qiao Yanxin's hometown and the reservoir, and the terrain is relatively high, so it is relatively less susceptible to floods.
Ji Yanli: "We have to drive faster and try to get to Jincheng Town before dark."
"Old Ji, you better sit still and don't hurt your waist. I won't be able to explain to your little girl later..."
The next morning, Fatty Liu's convoy of tractors carrying bricks arrived. The workers deftly loaded piles of bricks onto the carriages. The tractors spewed out black smoke and pulled away with a "toot toot" sound.
Fatty Liu paid a total of 2,080 yuan for the 104,000 bricks.
Qiao Yanxin stuffed the money into her backpack and said with a smile, "Thank you Uncle Liu for always taking care of our brick factory business."
Fatty Liu looked around the huge brick factory, with a calculating look on his face, and said with pretended regret: "Yan Xin, are you planning to just leave the brick factory like this?
It's a pity to leave such a prosperous brick factory like this.
Otherwise, I can take over this brick factory and consider it as a good deed. ”
Qiao Yanxin has no plans to sell the brick factory now. In her previous life, after graduating from university, she returned to her hometown and led the folks in Anbao Town to grow grapes and produce wine, and eventually set up a winery and a wine company.
In this life, she still wants to return to the village to run a winery, and perhaps at that time she will also reopen the brick factory left by her father.
She smiled and politely declined Fatty Liu.
"Uncle Liu, I have no intention of selling the brick factory yet. After all, this is the memory my father left me. I would be reluctant to sell it like this."
Seeing him say that, Fatty Liu nodded and said, "Okay, when you plan to sell it, tell me. Don't worry, for your father's sake, I will never treat you unfairly!"
Qiao Yanxin thanked him with a smile.
Fatty Liu got his obese body into the Santana car and drove away with his foot on the accelerator.
Qiao Yanxin locked the gate of the brick factory again and went home.
All the clothes washed last night are dry.
She took down all her clothes and Ji Yanli's clothes and folded them neatly one by one.
Touching the two pairs of pure white cotton panties that the salesperson had mistakenly taken, and looking at the small dog pattern on the crotch, Qiao Yanxin couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
Would Ji Yanli wear such childish underwear?
Ji Yanli's changed underwear yesterday was dry, and Qiao Yanxin had folded it neatly and put it aside.
After thinking about it, she unfolded Ji Yanli's underwear again. She was embarrassed to look at it when she folded it just now.
Now taking a closer look, her little face suddenly turned red.
This pair of underwear is quite wide. No, it’s very wide…
It can't help but make people think a lot.
Qiao Yan hurriedly folded Ji Yanli's underwear neatly, and then folded the two white underwear and placed it on top of his underwear.
Finally, pack his clothes into your bag.
She had to go back to Yuncheng today, so she had to wait until he returned to Yuncheng before returning the clothes to him...
After packing up her things and locking the doors and windows, Qiao Yanxin put on her schoolbag and carried a large bag in her hands and went to Secretary Liu's house.
He gave the key to his front door and the key to the brick factory to Secretary Liu, and asked him to look after the house and the brick factory. He also asked Secretary Liu to help sell the bricks if anyone wanted to buy them.
Secretary Liu agreed readily.
"Yanxin, don't worry, just go back to school, the uncle from the brick factory will take care of you..."
Aunt Liu saw that Qiao Yanxin was carrying a lot of luggage and it was inconvenient for her to walk, so she said, "Let your uncle Liu take you to the bus. He happens to be free right now."
Secretary Liu smiled and said, "I was going to see Yan Xin off anyway, do I need you to tell me?"
Without saying a word, he took the big bag from Qiao Yanxin's hand, and forcibly snatched her handbag, carried them all on his shoulders, and sent Qiao Yanxin to the place where they were waiting for the bus.
He walked Qiao Yanxin to the car before waving goodbye.
