"Xiao Cheng was my former orderly, but he was later injured and transferred to a local civilian job.
You two are my granddaughter's direct supervisors. When my granddaughter joins the queue here in the future, you must take good care of her.
I'm not talking about special care. She should be allowed to exercise when she needs to. As a young person, a little hardship can help temper her will.
Just don't let others bully you for no reason. I'm an honest and simple child. I don't know how to resist when I'm bullied by others.
Her grandmother and I are worried about her, so Xiaoqiu will be in your care from now on!"
He Qixian picked up the wine glass and said, "Come, I toast to everyone, please take good care of me!"
Several people quickly stood up and said, "We toast to you, we toast to you!"
After dinner, Cheng Hongqiang instructed his driver Xiao Chen to drive to the guesthouse every day to wait for He Qixian and his wife.
When I have nothing to do, I take the old couple around the area to see the local customs and culture.
He Qixian refused, but Cheng Hongqiang insisted on doing so. He Qixian couldn't refuse, so he told Cheng Hongqiang that he could just let Xiao Chen accompany him to the educated youth site tomorrow.
Tomorrow he planned to visit the Qingshan Brigade and the village where Xiaoqiu had joined the team. He couldn't get any special treatment just because of him.
Cheng Hongqiang knew Mr. He's character well, so he didn't insist any more. Before leaving, he specifically told Xiao Chen to accompany the old couple well tomorrow.
Chu Jingqiu and the others returned to the guesthouse with their grandparents.
The girls knew that their grandparents were going to visit the educated youth site the next day, so they discussed how to arrange their itinerary for the day.
"Why don't we take grandpa and grandma to the mountains for a walk! Pick some wild fruits and see the scenery on the mountain, how about that?" Zhang Pingping made a suggestion.
Chu Jingqiu's eyes lit up and he said, "That's a good idea. My grandfather is a very good marksman and never misses a shot.
But we can’t carry guns now. I’ll try to get a bow and arrow and ask my grandfather to hunt some game so we can have a better meal at noon.”
He Qixian walked in with a cup of tea, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard Chu Jingqiu bragging.
He deliberately teased her, "Xiao Qiu, don't you know how to be more modest? You won't change your bad habits at all.
You've been praising your grandpa like this since you were little. If you can't catch the prey, you'll make him go to the educated youth camp and embarrass him!"
Chu Jingqiu stuck out her tongue, then took He Qixian's arm and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, it's the truth, how can it be bragging?
Under the guidance of a good teacher like you, I can also hit the target with every shot. If we fight together, we will definitely have meat to eat tomorrow."
After everyone agreed to go up the mountain together the next morning, the three girls took the things they bought and returned to Qingshan Brigade.
In the evening, after Chu Jingqiu and his grandparents fell asleep, he entered the space.
When Jiang Jiang saw her come in, he wagged his tail happily, rubbed his head against her, and licked her with his tongue.
Jiang Jiang said aggrievedly: "Qiuqiu, you haven't spoken to me for a whole day, and I really want to go out!
I also want to see grandpa and grandma, you always leave me alone in the space, I am almost suffocating!"
Chu Jingqiu gently stroked Jiang Jiang's soft fur and comforted her, "Jiang Jiang, now is not the right time. I will find a way to get you out in a few days.
After a while when I no longer go to the commune to help, I will release you.
Otherwise, I'll have to leave you at the educated youth camp while I'm at work, and you'll only be able to see me at night, isn't that right?"
Jiang Jiang rolled his eyes, thought it made sense, and nodded.
Chu Jingqiu and Jiang Jiang went to the sporting goods counter and found a handmade bow and arrow, planning to use it tomorrow.
Jiang Jiang volunteered, "Qiuqiu, I can also help you catch rabbits and pheasants."
"Jiang Jiang, let's wait and see about it tomorrow. I'm afraid my grandfather might hurt you by mistake." Chu Jingqiu tried to pull the bow and felt that it was still strong enough to be used for hunting.
Early the next morning, Xiao Chen came to pick them up in a not-so-new jeep.
The three of them packed up their things and got on a jeep to Qingshan Brigade.
The team was not too busy today, and the educated youth at the educated youth point were all resting today. When Chu Jingqiu and her grandparents came in, Shi Aihong and the other three gathered in Chu Jingqiu's room.
When the other educated youth heard the sound of a car outside, they also came out of the house.
Qin Yilan saw that it was Chu Jingqiu's grandpa and grandma who came. She quickly ran into the house to greet them: "Grandpa and grandma, you are here. You must have worked hard on the way!"
When Li Peilan saw that it was Qin Yilan, she didn't want to pay attention to her, but because of her good upbringing, she simply responded.
Then she felt something was wrong. In the past, she followed Chu Jingqiu and called them grandpa and grandma.
Why did she say "grandpa and grandma" today? She even changed the name. What a scheming girl.
Is this to let others know that she is related to her family and her father is their adopted son?
"Everyone else calls them grandpa and grandma, why do you call them grandpa and grandma? Aren't you different from others?" Chu Jingqiu said sarcastically.
"I just think they are about the same age as my grandparents!
And when I see them, they are as close to me as my grandparents, so I can't help but call them grandpa and grandma. "Qin Yilan defended.
"If you miss your grandparents, write more letters to them and express your thoughts and feelings to them."
Chu Jingqiu seemed to be trying to persuade her, but in fact she was mocking her. She had been in the countryside for almost two months, and she had never told him how good her grandparents were to her.
Instead, she often told Lin Zishan and Shi Aihong that her grandparents were biased towards boys and were not good to her at all. Now she was using her grandparents as a pretext.
Qin Yilan laughed awkwardly twice, looked around, and saw Shi Aihong and the other three were sitting on the kang.
Her eyes flashed, and she pretended to sit next to Lin Zishan.
When Lin Zishan saw her coming, she quietly moved to the side so that there was no room for anyone else to sit next to her.
Qin Yilan was not angry, she just stood aside.
When the other educated youth heard that Chu Jingqiu's family had come to the educated youth center, they all came over to say hello.
Li Peilan enthusiastically took out some cakes to treat them, and Qin Yilan also took the opportunity to take several pieces to eat.
Zhang Pingping and Lin Zishan looked at each other, and they both rolled their eyes, curled their lips, and smiled contemptuously.
When several educated youth heard that they were going up the mountain, they all expressed their desire to go with them. Chu Jingqiu told everyone to prepare their things and set off immediately.
Everyone carried a backpack and a water bottle and went up the mountain together. Grandpa He felt sorry for his granddaughter, so he took Jingqiu's backpack and carried it on his back.
Chu Jingqiu didn't want to tire her grandfather out, so when she was about to ask her grandfather to take it over, the driver, Xiao Chen, took a few quick steps, took the backpack and put it on his back.
A few people chatted and laughed, and soon they arrived at the mountain.
