The two children came back from washing a pomegranate. They looked up and saw Fu Qingyi coming upstairs, then asked Qiao Xinyi in a hoarse voice.
"Aunt, which one do you want to eat? You pick first~"
"Thank you, but I won't eat it." Qiao Xinyi shook her head. "It looks sour. You'll know when you eat it later."
"Sister knows it's sour, so we decided to soak it in sugar water later." Qiao Yunbai came over with an empty bowl, peeling it and saying, "Soaking it in sugar water will definitely make it sweet."
"I'll cut a piece of bitter melon and soak it in sugar water for two days. Do you want to taste it and see if it's sweet?" Qiao Xinyi asked back.
Qiao Yunbai, who had vowed so confidently, froze in his expression, and cried out, stunned.
Apparently, she had originally believed that pomegranates soaked in sugar water must be sweet, but Qiao Xinyi confused her by giving her an example.
Fu Qingxiao laughed out loud, and like a magician, he took out a plump, pink pomegranate from behind him.
"Teacher Qiao, would you like to taste the pomegranate in your hand?" Fu Qing said confidently, "I have seen it. This one on the tree is the reddest."
Qiao Xinyi almost died of laughter. The two children and Qiao Yunbai picked for a long time, but in the end, the most popular one fell into Fu Qingyi's hands without anyone noticing.
Fu Qing brought up an empty bowl. Qiao Xinyi nodded and used a knife to cut the pomegranate a few times. While peeling the pomegranate into the bowl, she reminded her, "Don't make a surprise attack later."
Seeing Qiao Xinyi looking at him in confusion, Fu Qing explained, "At first, my sight was blocked by Qiao Yunbai's body, so I didn't notice you standing here. Then you threw something towards us. If I hadn't seen your skirt through the gap in the railing of the terrace on the first floor, I would have almost pulled Qiao Yunbai off the ladder and made him lie on the ground."
“Can’t we surprise you?” Qiao Xinyi understood what Fu Qing meant.
"It's better not to." Fu Qingxiao nodded.
This is Fu Qingxiao's occupational disease. It is indeed unwise to play a sneak attack game with a soldier.
It's not about laughing at yourself, it's about laughing at others.
But Qiao Xinyi didn't want to laugh at herself, let alone laugh at her.
"I didn't know you were here this time, so I was planning to launch a surprise attack on Qiao Yunbai. But now that I know, I will definitely notify you before I launch a surprise attack on you in the future."
Qiao Xinyi raised her hand in a frivolous manner, "For example, right now, Fu Qing, I'm going to sneak attack you!"
After saying that, Qiao Xinyi put her hands on Fu Qing's abdominal muscles and rubbed them through her clothes.
Fu Qingxiao's eyelids jumped, and he said with a smile, "I surrender and let you attack me."
He stood there and continued to peel the pomegranate in his hand slowly. He stuffed the pomegranate directly into Qiao Xinyi's mouth without carelessly crushing it. Seeing her frowning because of the sour taste, he laughed softly, "You really can't stand sour things."
The conversation between Qiao Xinyi and Fu Qingxiao upstairs attracted the attention of three people downstairs.
Qiao Yunbai muttered quietly, "Elder and younger sister are so childish."
But Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu thought that Qiao Xinyi really started to attack Fu Qingyi, so they quickly stood up and shouted upstairs.
"Aunt! Hold on! 놖 and my brother will be here to help you!"
The two children shouted and ran into the house on their short legs like Hot Wheels.
Fu Qingxiao waited until the two children were about to reach the terrace before locking the terrace door in front of them.
The two children were so angry that they shouted at their uncle outside, gesturing to Qiao Xinyi and teaching her how to beat up their uncle. Qiao Xinyi laughed so hard that she couldn't even straighten her back.
Fu Qing seemed to be unaware of the two children who were about to explode outside, and continued to peel the pomegranates. After peeling them, he said to Qiao Xinyi: "Go and squeeze these into juice and add some sugar or honey. Do you want to drink it?"
Qiao Xinyi licks her lips, natural freshly squeezed juice~
"It would be nice to have a few more ice cubes on such a hot day." Qiao Xinyi sighed.
"Refrigerators are hard to buy." Fu Qingxiao shook his head.
“I can’t bear to buy it even if it’s good.” Qiao Xinyi shook her head more decisively than Fu Qingxiao.
Refrigerators are luxury items nowadays. If she had the money, she would rather use it to buy a house.
Buying a refrigerator now is too high-profile, so she wants to buy a house quietly and surprise everyone ten years later.
Qiao Xinyi sighed. No matter how many excuses she made, to be frank, she was poor at this stage. Only poor people would be reluctant to give up, and only poor people needed to make choices. Only poor people needed cost-effectiveness.
"Ask Yunbai to buy you two popsicles and put them in there?" Fu Qingxiao suggested.
Qiao Xinyi nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, and immediately shouted to Qiao Yunbai who was still peeling pomegranates, "Yunbai, go buy some popsicles for me. I want the white ones. You can pick your own."
After Qiao Xinyi finished speaking, she opened the terrace door. The two children jumped in with a roar, and looked up at Fu Qingxiao with their hands on their hips.
"Uncle, can you let me and brother wait for an opportunity to come in?" Fu Zeyu said, "Brother said that as long as we wait at the door, uncle and aunt will come out."
The two brothers came in specifically to announce the victory they had been waiting for. They didn't ask for Fu Qing's response at all. After shouting, they ran hand in hand, shouting as they ran, "Uncle, wait for us! We want to go too!"
He is a true follower.
Only then did Qiao Xinyi remember to shake out the things in the canvas bag and put them on the table.
The first thing to fall out was the money that Dou Cuifang had stuffed in.
Qiao Xinyi had never seen the kind of red envelope bags that were popular in recent years. Here, when wrapping wedding money, people pay attention to the idea of having something red in it, so they cut the red paper used to write Spring Festival couplets during the Chinese New Year into long strips and wrap the wallet around it to count as a red envelope.
Dou Cuifang threw it in, and Qiao Xinyi poured it over, and the money and red paper all scattered.
"Guess where all this money came from!" Qiao Xinyi held the money in one hand, the wedding candy in another, and the red paper in another.
Fu Qingxiao guessed from putting these three things together that Xiaoxiao and Qiao Xinyi also received some gifts, and it was the same.
"You took it from the old Qiao family?" Fu Qing looked at it and said, "It looks terrible. Who in the old Qiao family would be willing to give it away?"
"Today's bride is really willing to give up." Qiao Xinyi told what she had learned at the factory, and also told her how she had deceived Dou Cuifang at the Qiao family.
"I didn't have any evidence at the time. I just heard what Sister Kong said and knew it was possible, so I said it to try it out. When I saw Dou Cuifang's expression, I knew Sister Kong was right. Dou Cuifang was really pregnant."
Qiao Xinyi counted the money while saying, "Qiao Laiwang and Dou Cuifang just met yesterday, so Dou Cuifang's child is definitely not Qiao Laiwang's.
What do you think? How could a 13-year-old lesbian fall for an old man like Qiao Laiwang? She was in such a hurry to get married because she was afraid that if she delayed for too long, she would be pregnant and it would be difficult to deal with. ”
Nowadays, the consequences of having promiscuous relationships and getting pregnant before marriage are enough to drive a person crazy.
"On the way back, I was guessing whose child Dou Cuifang would have." Qiao Xinyi patted the money on the table, "A full one hundred and thirty yuan."
What an idiot.
"Dou Cuifang is a temporary worker in the cafeteria. She has only been in the provincial capital for a short time. She is afraid that she will be given so much money if her pregnancy is revealed. You can imagine how much the baby in her belly is worth."
Qiao Xinyi looked up at Fu Qingxiao and expressed the most daring idea in her mind.
"Dou Cuifang's last name is Dou, which is not the same as the director of the steel plant. She said she is the director's cousin, but the age difference between them is 14 years."
