When her daughter first fell in love with Ji Shuyan, Wang Fengqin was not unwilling, but she was not very happy about it either. It was not until Ji Shuyan made a name for himself in the army that Wang Fengqin began to support her daughter Feng Ting.
She thought that the marriage between the two families was a done deal, but unexpectedly, the Ji family hadn't mentioned it for a few months, and then Ji Shuyan got married in the blink of an eye?
Aunt Liu had been fed up with this mother and daughter for a long time. They came just after noon and stayed for so long. The old lady had been sitting with her for so long and was already tired. But the two of them didn't even say anything about leaving. It was really tactless of her.
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't know about the lawsuit. She helped Aunt Liu carry the things she brought to the kitchen.
She was very strong and lifted a big bag with one hand.
Seeing this, Feng Ting showed a contemptuous expression on her face and wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but when she saw Grandpa Ji, she shut her mouth.
By the time Yi Xiaoqiu put her things away and came back, Feng Ting had already adjusted her expression.
"Sister Xiaoqiu, you are from the countryside, right? I seemed to see you brought a lot of local specialties just now. What are they? Can I exchange some with you to try?" Feng Ting looked at Yi Xiaoqiu innocently, without any trace of the contempt in her expression just now.
Wang Fengqin knew what her daughter looked like, so she quietly pulled her daughter's clothes, reminding her not to be too arrogant in front of the old man of the Ji family, so as not to damage her image.
Although Yi Xiaoqiu didn't see anything unusual on the other person's face, he couldn't hide the disgust in his tone when he said that the other person was a country boy.
Whether it was due to other reasons or the sense of superiority she felt as a city dweller, Yi Xiaoqiu was not one to indulge him. She smiled faintly and said, "Sorry, there's no more."
Feng Ting's eyes widened immediately, and she asked in surprise, "How could there be none? Aren't they saying that the local specialties in the countryside are endless? Oh, I see. It must be that the country folk are just too greedy..."
Wang Fengqin pulled her daughter's arm and said, "How can you ask for local specialties right away?"
"Mom, I don't want it, I want to exchange it. Don't we have a lot of cloth coupons at home that we can't use up? It's just right to exchange it with that. I heard that cloth coupons are the most lacking thing in the countryside." Feng Ting said coquettishly to Wang Fengqin.
Yi Xiaoqiu smiled and said, "If you want to exchange for fresh goods, go find a fellow villager in the eastern suburbs. I exchanged them there, so don't accuse me of being stingy and not telling you."
No one expected that Yi Xiaoqiu would so casually tell them about his experience in the black market.
Aunt Liu looked terrified and said, "You are so brave, aren't you?"
Yi Xiaoqiu smiled shyly and said seriously, "I just happened to see it when I was passing by, so I exchanged it with a fellow villager."
"Oh! Then you are so lucky!" Aunt Liu believed it. In fact, the things Yi Xiaoqiu brought were not available in the city, especially the big hen, which weighed at least five kilograms, and had the fat and five-legged meat. You couldn't get such good meat if you went to a meat stall.
Aunt Liu often buys vegetables and knows very well that these things are rare, let alone so many of them.
Yi Xiaoqiu glanced at Grandpa Ji, who looked tired. "Grandpa, you haven't taken your nap yet, have you? I'll help you go in and get some sleep." Yi Xiaoqiu turned to Wang Fengqin and said, "Sorry, Aunt Wang, I'll help you go in first and come back to talk to you later."
Wang Fengqin smiled awkwardly and stood up. "No need. You just arrived and you should rest well. We are leaving soon."
As he said this, he pulled Feng Ting, who didn't want to leave.
"Mom, I don't want to leave!" Feng Ting was reluctant to leave.
Wang Fengqin forcibly dragged her daughter out of the Ji family yard.
Yi Xiaoqiu helped Grandpa Ji into the room, and Aunt Liu followed in.
"Xiao Qiu, let me do it! You can enjoy the cool air in the yard. If you are tired, go to the main house and take a nap. I have already cleaned up your room."
It stands to reason that if there are elders in the family, they should live in the main house. However, Grandpa Ji preferred the east house where he could see the sun as soon as he opened the window in the morning, so he moved into the east house. The main house was left empty, and after Shu Yan Ji got married, Aunt Liu cleaned it up.
The last time he came, Yi Xiaoqiu didn’t even go into the main house to take a proper look around.
This time she found that the furnishings inside the house were rather simple, which was somewhat inconsistent with the scale of the courtyard.
Thinking about the current era, Yi Xiaoqiu could understand it.
Yi Xiaoqiu came to Ji's house this time not only because she was bored living alone in the army house, but also because she found out last time that Grandpa Ji was not in good health, and she planned to secretly give him some meatballs this time.
At this time, Aunt Liu arranged for Grandpa Ji to come to the main house and talk to Yi Xiaoqiu for a while.
"The Feng family mother and daughter have been staying at our house for quite some time. The old man was concerned that Tiedan'er was working for Wang Fengqin's husband, so he didn't have the nerve to ask them to leave. It's really you, young man, who has a quick mind."
"I didn't do anything..." Yi Xiaoqiu touched his head.
"That girl from the Feng family used to chase after Tiedan all the time. The two kids would often play together, and everyone thought they would be a good match... But that was all in the past."
She just noticed Feng Ting's sarcastic attitude and couldn't help but remind Yi Xiaoqiu.
Yi Xiaoqiu nodded. She had sensed that Feng Ting was targeting her just now.
After Aunt Wang left, Yi Xiaoqiu opened the system mall.
On the pharmaceutical page, she saw the longevity pills at a glance.
However, she thought that the old man had spent half his life in the military and must have suffered a lot of losses, not to mention the hidden injuries.
She bought a recovery pill and a health pill without hesitation.
But the problem is how to feed the elderly now.
These meatballs are not tasteless. It seems that if I want to let Grandpa Ji eat them without anyone noticing, I will have to put in some effort.
In the afternoon, Yi Xiaoqiu finally found an opportunity.
Aunt Liu cooked a pot of lily and pear soup in the kitchen, preparing it for Grandpa Ji to eat when he woke up.
When Yi Xiaoqiu saw this, he volunteered to bring the bowl of sweet soup into the east room.
She put the meatballs she had prepared in advance into the sweet soup.
The meatballs melted in the soup, and Yi Xiaoqiu stirred it twice, and nothing could be seen.
"Grandpa, have some sweet soup!"
The old man injured his heart and lungs early in life and never fully recovered. He coughs a lot on weekdays. Aunt Liu often makes some soups for him to moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, which is somewhat effective.
Grandpa Ji had just woken up. He was leaning on a chair in front of the window. His expression was stern a second ago, but the moment he saw Yi Xiaoqiu, his expression immediately softened, like an ordinary kind old man.
"Grandpa, Aunt Liu made some soup for you. Drink it while it's hot." Yi Xiaoqiu brought the soup to Grandpa Ji.
Grandpa Ji took the sweet soup, his eyes full of smiles, "Why don't you go out and play? Young people should go out for a walk more often, don't always hang out with us old guys."
"Okay, Grandpa. I'll stay here for the next two days and go out for a walk every day. When the time comes, please don't mind me being as noisy as a monkey."
"Hehehe... Tiedan was also as naughty as a monkey when he was little. You're still a little bit behind him."
The old man drank the soup with a smile.
