They never played house together again after that.
After recalling the events, Qin Huai felt a soft body behind him, and his eyes flickered.
He always thought that his childhood wish would never come true, but he never expected that more than ten years later, it would come true one day.
Looking back on that night, it wasn't entirely Qiao Qiqi's initiative.
He was also at that time...
"Qin Huai, tell me about your childhood?" Qiao Qiqi didn't like quiet.
Thinking about Cui Fengzhen's character, I couldn't help but want to know more about her so I could decide whether or not to help my in-laws sever ties with her.
Qin Huai thought she just wanted to know about his childhood, but then he remembered those things...
My memories are all bad.
So he downplayed the issue and said, "My grandmother was always very unhappy because my father brought me home from the battlefield. When I was little, she often made things difficult for my parents because of me."
"Life was really tough back then. My parents didn't have the money to move out and live separately, so they could only endure it."
“But my uncle and aunt wouldn’t tolerate us. During an argument, they threw all our belongings out of the house. They didn’t want to give us a single penny. Later, the village head intervened and helped us get some things. He also lent us a house in the village that didn’t have a proper roof.”
“Dad built a roof for the house and laid straw on it, and we lived in that house for five years.”
"Later, my parents saved up some money and bought a house, which is the house they have now."
“But my grandmother still came to make trouble often. I knew it was all my fault. After I was able to work in the fields and earn work points, and I was sure I could support myself, I moved out of the house despite my parents’ objections.”
“After that, Grandma had no more reasons to cause trouble, so she made fewer fuss.”
After Qin Huai finished speaking, Qiao Qiqi leaned on his back and cried her heart out.
She knew that Qin Huai had a tough childhood, but because the book didn't describe it much and the original owner didn't have any memories of it, she wanted to learn more.
Little did he know that his life would be so difficult.
She simply couldn't imagine how such a poor family could still squeeze out money to support Cui Fengzhen!
Thinking of that hateful old woman, Qiao Qiqi immediately wiped away her tears and asked, "Do you think it's possible for our parents to sever ties with Cui Fengzhen?"
She absolutely could not bring herself to call Cui Fengzhen "Grandma".
She was already being tactful by not calling him an old geezer.
Qin Huai frowned, somewhat surprised to see that Qiao Qiqi had the same idea as him, but he shook his head.
“I’ve thought about this too, and even asked my mother in secret. She said it was impossible. My father values filial piety the most. He said that no matter how bad Grandma was, she still gave birth to him. For that reason, no matter what Grandma does, he can’t forget her kindness and he must pay her alimony.”
Qiao Qiqi was a little disappointed: "Okay!"
She thought that other families were troubled because their children were unfilial, but in her case, being too filial had become a problem.
However, thinking of her blindly filial parents, Qiao Qiqi instantly felt relieved.
Okay, let's take it one step at a time!
Moreover, she clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, and she is incapable of repaying evil with kindness, nor can she expect everyone to be like her!
Perhaps it was because Qin Huai's back was too comfortable, but Qiao Qiqi suddenly felt a little sleepy.
She couldn't help but yawn.
Upon hearing this, Qin Huai immediately said, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy. I won't let you fall."
Why does that sound so familiar?
Qiao Qiqi thought about it carefully, but she was so tired that she fell asleep immediately.
When she woke up again, Qin Huai had already put her on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Qiao Qiqi was so tired that she didn't even want to open her eyes. She immediately turned over and tried to find a comfortable position to continue sleeping.
However, Qin Huai shook him awake.
Qiao Qiqi reluctantly opened her eyes and met the man's conflicted expression. "Aren't you going to change that one?"
? ? ?
Qiao Qiqi frowned, looking confused: "What?"
Qin Huai's face flushed red instantly.
Seeing that she didn't understand, he hesitated for a moment before pointing to her crotch and saying, "It's that."
The confusion in Qiao Qiqi's eyes faded considerably.
Actually, she had already come to her senses after asking 'what,' and now she saw Qin Huai pointing at her...
Her eyes instantly turned mocking: "You know quite a lot!"
"I……"
Qin Huai blushed deeply.
Meeting her teasing gaze, he dashed away in a flash.
Qiao Qiqi raised an eyebrow. Although she didn't like moving around, she did need to change her clothes.
With no other option, I gritted my teeth, got up, grabbed a roll of toilet paper, and went to the outhouse in the backyard.
After changing, Qiao Qiqi walked out of the outhouse feeling unwell.
Although the amount of this body is small, I have to say, this toilet paper is really unpleasant!
It can easily leak from the side if you're not careful, and it's not an instant absorber!
The key point is that toilet paper in this era was rough and not delicate at all.
Open your butt and everyone poops!
This is unbelievable!!
The thought that the earliest sanitary napkins weren't produced until the end of 1981, six years ago, sent chills down Qiao Qiqi's spine!
She can't wait six years.
It seems we need to think of a solution.
Back in the front yard, Qiao Qiqi was about to go back to her room when she suddenly heard a crashing sound coming from the courtyard wall.
Turning my head, I saw Qin Huai pouring water over himself from a basin.
This simple and crude way of showering made Qiao Qiqi's nose feel hot again.
Remembering the scene of Qin Huai getting a nosebleed while showering last time, Qiao Qiqi was so frightened that she immediately looked away and quickly ran back into the house.
Such an embarrassing thing can only happen once! It absolutely cannot happen a second time!
The key point is that she is still bleeding down there. If she were bleeding up there, she was afraid that she would become anemic sooner or later because of both her blood loss and her anemia.
The sound of the door closing could be heard outside.
Qin Huai turned his head and watched as Qiao Qiqi went back.
Why do I feel inexplicably disappointed?
When Qiao Qiqi returned to the room, she saw that Qin Huai had already laid out the quilt and tidied up the things on the floor, so she happily got onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
I crawled into bed and waited for Qin Huai to come back.
After waiting and waiting, the person finally came in, but was wearing the same clothes as last night.
Qiao Qiqi immediately realized something and sat up from the covers: "Are you going up the mountain again?"
Qin Huai nodded, "I made an appointment with Zhang Qing to go to the mountains again. I just brought the chamber pot inside. I'll lock both the house door and the courtyard gate in a bit, just to be safe. If anyone knocks on the door, don't open it!"
Seeing that he always went up the mountain at night and worked during the day, Qiao Qiqi was worried that he was working too hard and immediately said, "If you work both day and night and don't get enough rest, your body will eventually not be able to take it."
"It's alright. I used to go up the mountain with Zhang Qing at night all the time, and we could get enough sleep in the middle of the night."
Seeing that Qin Huai was determined to go, Qiao Qiqi suddenly jumped off the kang and said, "Why don't I go with you?"
