Fang Mingxiao's eyes fell on the design draft drawn by Jiang Yanqing again. The clothes on it looked like nothing he had ever seen before.
Thinking back on the time when he had known Jiang Yanqing, he saw how Jiang Yanqing had behaved: she was smart and lively, knew when to act, and was calm and composed. It seemed that this was how she should be, a vibrant and energetic girl.
But she was clearly just a fourteen-year-old girl, and she was more sophisticated in dealing with people than many adults. If she had always had this kind of personality, how could she have been forced by the Jiang family to jump into the river?
Yes, jumping into the river. It seemed that everything had changed since he rescued her from the river. Fang Mingxiao suppressed his thoughts, not daring to think about it any further, nor did he want to consider the unusualness of it anymore.
This rare warmth was hard-earned, and Fang Mingxiao didn't want to lose it. Even if Jiang Yanqing really had some problems, as long as she was alive and well, he could ignore it.
Jiang Yanqing watched Fang Mingxiao apologize to her, then lowered his head slightly, his face full of nervousness. She felt a little sorry for him, so she waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright. I'm a magnanimous person and won't bother with you."
As he spoke, he thought of Qi Jiaming's injury and asked with concern, "How is Brother Jiaming's injury?"
Fang Mingxiao answered subconsciously, "You care about him a lot?" He regretted what he said. Why did these words sound so sour coming out of his mouth?
Jiang Yanqing didn't think anything was wrong and replied calmly, "Of course I care. The Qi family has been very good to me, and I hope to help them as much as I can. Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked taking you up the mountain to collect herbs."
Fang Mingxiao nodded thoughtfully, feeling relieved. Jiang Yanqing had rejected him, and since she was still young, she must not have figured it out yet. As long as he stayed by her side, he wouldn't give anyone else a chance to take advantage of him.
"I've changed his medicine and given him acupuncture once a day for seven days, and then every seven days after that. He should be able to walk again in two months."
The timing is just right. Qi Jiaming's leg can be cured this summer vacation, and Aunt Lin won't have to worry about him anymore.
Looking at the sun, which was about to set, Jiang Yanqing casually asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Originally, Aunt Lin asked Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao to go to their house for dinner in the evening, but Jiang Yanqing refused, saying that they would have a good meal after Qi Jiaming's leg healed, and there was no need to cause trouble now.
However, at night, Fang Mingxiao still had to stay at the Qi family. The second son of the Qi family had already moved to the factory, and the third son moved there to live with his eldest brother, which just made room for Fang Mingxiao.
After all, the coal mine is close to the village, and some people know about the relationship between Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao. It would be inconvenient for a single man and a single woman to live in the same house.
It was too much for people to go back and forth every day in such hot weather, so Aunt Lin finally decided to let Fang Mingxiao stay directly at their house. In this way, after a week, the two of them could go to the city together.
Fang Mingxiao was not a picky eater, but Jiang Yanqing, who came from later generations, was picky about the good things, so he had to eat what he liked.
For dinner, Jiang Yanqing made a dish of braised spare ribs. The evenly distributed small ribs were wrapped in a brightly colored batter, and the meat was slightly separated from the bones. It looked soft and fragrant just by looking at it.
He also stir-fried some rapeseed with garlic, and finally drizzled some sesame oil on it. He also ate half a pot of rice, and most of it went into Fang Mingxiao's stomach.
Jiang Yanqing finally had to sigh. No wonder they said that the little brat would eat his father out of money. Fang Mingxiao, who was still growing up, had an amazing appetite.
However, Jiang Yanqing had money and food, so he could definitely afford to support him. He was just sighing. Besides, Fang Mingxiao had a good appetite, which also stimulated his own appetite.
After finishing his meal, Fang Mingxiao cleaned up the dishes and went into the kitchen.
When he came out again, he brought out another plate of watermelon. The two sat in the yard, chatting and eating watermelon.
The Jiang family's yard is open from north to south. There is a slight gap in the yard door, so gusts of wind rush in. It is perfect to sit in the yard at night to cool off.
She also ordered some mosquito repellent vanilla made by Fang Mingxiao. There were no annoying mosquitoes to bother her. Jiang Yanqing felt extremely comfortable. She thought that after going to the city, she would ask someone to build a swing in the yard so that she could bask in the sun while swinging in the winter.
