Chapter 16

"Grandma, you remembered it wrong." Chi Zhongyue said, "It's been more than thirty years."

"It's been more than thirty years..." Grandma Cai turned her head to look at Chi Zhongyue and said, "Xiaogui's daughter is so old, how old are you?"

“It’s twenty this year.”

"Come on, I'll take a look."

Chi Zhongyue leaned over to let Grandma Cai see more clearly.

"Looking at the eyes, it's not like Xiaogui. You follow your mother, right? Xiaogui is promising, he must have married a beautiful wife. But you don't follow Xiaogui, otherwise it will be miserable!" Grandma Cai said, and her voice became smaller. "When Xiaogui was a child, we Huazi liked to study, and we didn't know why we liked to play together. I remember that when Xiaogui was twenty years old, there was no one at home. I often made corn buns for him and occasionally made fish for him. Once, he was stuck in the fish, and then I..."

As he spoke, Grandma Cai fell asleep again and didn't even say anything.

Zhou Xue made a "shhh" gesture to Chi Zhongyue.

The three of them walked out of the room, Ren Qingye was the last one to come out and brought the door.

Zhou Xue said: "Grandma is not in good spirits. The doctor said that it's only been a few days ago. My uncle is busy with business and can only come back tonight. But he called back a few days ago and said that an old friend named Chi is coming..."

Zhou Xue looked at Chi Zhongyue up and down and said, "Let's wait for dinner together tonight."

Chi Zhongyue agreed readily: "Okay."

Zhou Xue nodded and was about to leave. Suddenly she turned around and asked, "Why don't your dad come?"

Chi Zhongyue said: "My dad has gone on a long journey and told me to come."

"Let's go on a long journey..." Zhou Xue's expression became strange, making Chi Zhongyue feel uncomfortable, but she couldn't tell the reason.

"Sister Luo and I go stew chicken. Why don't you sit there at will? There is a kettle next to the TV series. If you are thirsty, pour water to drink."

Ren Qingye looked around the room and said, "Let's go out for a walk."

Zhou Xue looked at Ren Qingye, her eyes slightly cleared, "You are..."

"My boyfriend." Chi Zhongyue took a step forward, crossing the line between Ren Qingye and Zhou Xue.

Zhou Xue said oh, "You're still bringing your boyfriend..."

Chi Zhongyue said: "Isn't it possible?"

Zhou Xue said: "Oh, I'm just asking."

Zhou Xue left, Ren Qingye said, "I have to come here?"

"Oh, what's wrong?" Chi Zhongyue said, "Then you are my brother? I'm my friend? I think it's appropriate to say you are my boyfriend."

Ren Qingye was too lazy to argue with her about these things, "Okay, as long as you are happy."

After entering the kitchen, Zhou Xue saw Sister Luo cleaning the raw chicken, so she stood aside and watched.

Sister Luo wore a dirty apron around her waist, which was so old that she couldn't tell the original color. Her rough hands were covered with chicken blood, and she smelled a fishy smell from afar.

She said: "Zhou Xue, come here to help me!"

Zhou Xue stood at the kitchen door, not intending to go there.

"My clothes are expensive."

"Oh yo yo..." Miss Luo murmured in a low voice, "I will think I am a city man after a few days when I go to Shanghai."

Zhou Xue didn't hear Sister Luo's mutter clearly, otherwise she would have to be furious. She opened the refrigerator door and saw that there were all sauce and ingredients inside, and she lost her appetite in an instant.

"I don't have some cakes, coffee or anything, I can't eat it if I want to satisfy my cravings."

Sister Luo pulled the chicken intestines and drooped her eyelids and said, "What coffee is that, we can't eat the things that the city people have."

"It's not that little money..." Zhou Xue closed the refrigerator and was about to go out, but Sister Luo hurriedly called her.

"Hey! What are the two people outside?"

"What can it be? I don't know where the relatives came out. Look at the tattoo on his hand, they are not serious at first glance." Zhou Xue said carelessly, "Why is grandma moving? Isn't it because my uncle is rich, and all the aunts and sisters are coming to catch up with relatives. One comes to borrow money today and one comes to ask for red envelopes tomorrow. Are you still missing?"

"The two outside are the same?"

"I think it's 80% that I haven't been in contact for so many years. I suddenly come to visit my grandma. Can it be that I'm not referring to my uncle's money? People these days can be despised for money. I have never seen such people in Shanghai. There are many rich people in Shanghai. Who can do these things? People can buy a house casually and spend money to scare these people to death."

Sister Luo responded casually, but thought to herself, didn’t you just look at your uncle as he was rich, and you insisted on taking care of grandma with a stern face?

Zhou Xue walked through the balcony outside the kitchen, connecting to the balcony where clothes were dried next door.

Sister Luo was slapping chicken wings here, and suddenly heard the screams next door, trembling with fear, the kitchen knife slipped, and cut off the skin of her fingers.

Sister Luo cursed in a low voice, sucked her finger and ran over and asked, "What's wrong? What's the name?"

Zhou Xue held the black and black thing, her arms trembled, and her face turned red.

"Did you wash my nightgown?"

The voice of his speech was not smooth.

Sister Luo nodded blankly, "I see that there are dirty clothes piled in your house, so I will wash it for you together."

"Nong's brain is watt! Do you know that I am Xiang Yunsha?"

Sister Luo was frightened by Zhou Xue's sudden anger at this moment. She took a step back and shouted at the top of her throat: "What a shiny thing? Isn't it just a skirt!"

"Do you know how many thousand dollars you have! Look! Look!" Zhou Xue spread her skirt to her, "You wash it with a washing machine and put it in the sun! You've been shaving it! If you haven't worn silk, don't touch others' fine cutting?!"

Sister Luo was stunned. She glanced at the skirt and said, "It's just a piece of it, why do you have to spend thousands of dollars?"

"Ah--!" Zhou Xue was so angry that she screamed for a long time, then threw her skirt on Sister Luo's head, and walked out angrily with her high heels.

Ren Qingye came out to stroll around, "strolling" very carefully, looking at every alley, and looking at every household. Chi Zhongyue followed him and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ren Qingye walked to an old house, grabbed the rusty iron gate, shook it, and said, "Observe the terrain."

Chi Zhongyue said: "Come with me to buy water and drink it, I'm thirsty."

Ren Qingye continued walking, and said with his back to Chi Zhongyue, "You go, I'm not thirsty."

Chi Zhongyue wiped the sweat from her forehead and went to the small supermarket in the opposite direction.

Ren Qingye turned around and went up the small hillside by the road. There were weeds and garbage everywhere, but it was an excellent hiding place.

He moved a few stones and piled them behind the hillside.

At this time, the phone rang.

Ren Qingye patted the dust on his hands and took out his cell phone.

Caller ID - "The Wife of the Future".

Ren Qingye couldn't help laughing.

What nonsense.
