Chapter 209 Eyes of Mind

  Li Qiao instructed Mr. Xue to win against Mr. Tao next door, and the other party called for a fight with Li Qiao.

  Master Xue gave up his position.

  Li Qiao took his seat: "Grandpa Tao, please advise."

  Master Tao smiled: "It's quite modest."

  Li Qiao played chess, almost as soon as Mr. Tao made a move, she thought about the next move.

  Master Tao gradually became irritable: "Did you cheat?"

  Master Xue said unhappily, "Where can I cheat?"

  Master Tao was depressed.

  Cheng Shuqin took the opportunity to flatter Xue Lingqing: "Sufen, Professor Xue must be able to beat Li Qiao, right?"

  Xue Sufen: "That's right, wait for me to find my uncle and Li Qiao."

  Li Qiao said indifferently: "If you win, you win, it's not a big deal."

   Xue Sufen suddenly didn't want to look for her when she heard the words, Mr. Uncle, winning Li Qiao is not worth showing off, how embarrassing is it to lose?

  She turned the corner into the room.

  Cheng Shuqin followed: "Sufen, why don't you ask Professor Xue?"

   "I don't want to look for it." Xue Sufen lay down on the bed, picked up the book on the bedside table and flipped through it.

  Cheng Shuqin stayed with her for a while, then walked to the window and looked out.

  At a glance, I saw the pastoral-style paintings on the wall of Li Qiao's courtyard. Among ordinary houses, wall paintings are particularly special. She asked curiously: "Sufen, look, there are still paintings on the walls of that house."

   "Li Qiao's house." Xue Sufen said without raising her head.

   "That's the house that Li Qiao rented. It's so small. Are there seven or eight people in the big family? Can it fit in?"

   "There are only three people in her family. Grandma Qin, her partner and her." Xue Sufen said.

   Actually enough.

   There is no bathroom, and it is not convenient to go to the public toilet.

   "No in-laws?" Cheng Shuqin continued.

   Xue Sufen: "Yes."

  Cheng Shuqin: "I want to visit her house, can you take me there?"

   Xue Sufen was unwilling: "You want to go by yourself."

  Where did Cheng Shuqin dare to go alone? But she had to go to Li Qiao's house to learn about his family environment.

   Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. "Li Qiao is very good at dressing and has a lot of clothes. I really want to see what clothes she hasn't worn in her closet."

   A few words aroused Xue Sufen's curiosity.

  The red coat on Li Qiao is a good style.

   Not a brilliant red, but a slightly darker red.

   And the style is not the slim-fit style sold in the mall, it is looser, and it looks expensive when worn on the body.

  But with Li Qiao's allowance, he definitely couldn't afford it.

  If there are many clothes in the closet, it can be used as evidence of Li Qiao's crime.

   In this way, Li Qiao must not let her decide?

  Xue Sufen's heart started to feel alive again when she thought of how she had just settled down here, and she and Cheng Shuqin went downstairs together.

  Li Qiao was not in the yard, and Grandpa Tao next door had also left.

  Grandpa is sitting on a recliner alone and listening to the radio.

  She said: "Grandpa, where is Li Qiao? Why don't you continue playing chess?"

   "Qiao Qiao has returned home. Your Grandpa Tao lost to her, so he was angry." Mr. Xue said: "Come on, Qiao Qiao is free tomorrow. You call her home. I have to ask her how to play chess."

  Xue Sufen chuckled, and said silently: I am too lazy to invite her to hear you praise her.

  Xue Sufen led Cheng Shuqin to the door of Qin's house and knocked on the door.

  The dog in the yard barked non-stop.

  Li Qiao walked out of the room.

   Xue Sufen said through the crack of the door: "Li Qiao, it's me."

  Li Qiao opened the door, and when he saw Cheng Shuqin again, his face became even more unhappy: "Is there something wrong?"

   "I want to ask you to watch a movie together at night." Xue Sufen made an excuse at will.

  Li Qiao: "I saw it with my partner yesterday."

   Xue Sufen interrupted: "Aren't you going to invite us to sit in?"

  Li Qiao looked at Shuqin briefly, so it's fine if you come, what's the matter with bringing Cheng Shuqin? But if she refuses, will Xue Sufen say that she doesn't give face? Go home and talk to Grandpa Xue and Professor Xue, will they think she is stingy?

   After hesitating, she said, "Come in."

   It's best not to have a purpose, otherwise she won't be soft.

  Li Qiao brought the man into his room.

   Xue Sufen looked around, the room was about the same size as Grandma Qin's, but the layout was completely different.

  The wall on the right side of the entrance is a wall painting.

  It depicts Li Qiao in a wedding dress and Qin Jin in a suit.

  The background is a farm field.

   What's amazing is that they don't look earthy at all under such a background.

   Xue Sufen was surprised: "Can you still take wedding photos in your hometown?" Before this year, men in the city got married and wore Chinese tunic suits if they were in good condition. Almost ordinary gown. No one dares to wear a suit, and the same goes for a wedding dress.

   Some people will wear it after the beginning of spring this year, but very few, and the wedding dress is not white, but pink and red.

   Didn’t Li Qiao get married last year?

   There is also the style of the wedding dress, which is very different from that in the photo studio.

  The wedding dress in the wall painting is more fluffy, more simple and elegant.

  How much will it cost?

  Li Qiao: "I imagined it myself." Qin Jin looked at the wall painting and said that when she graduates, she will hold a wedding banquet again and let her wear a wedding dress to marry him.

  She really wants to skip a grade and graduate quickly!

   Xue Sufen didn't believe it, she didn't talk to her, and continued to look at it. The room is an iron frame bed, and the bedding and sheets are pink checks.

  There is a three-door cabinet in the corner.

   There is a dressing table near the window, on which are common face creams in shopping malls. A large bottle costs one yuan and can be used for a long time.

   There is a locked wooden box next to the dresser.

   Xue Sufen said: "Why don't you have shoes in your room?"

  Li Qiao: "Put it in the cabinet."

  Cheng Shuqin has already opened the double doors of the cabinet.

  The lower two layers of partitions are full of shoes, which are cleaned.

  There are clothes hanging on it. Men's style on the left, a mink fur coat comes into view. Isn't this kind of high-end clothes exported to earn foreign exchange?

  Malls occasionally sell goods, but they are expensive and in short supply.

   It is simply not the turn of ordinary people to buy.

  Li Qiao has a partner.

  Women's on the right, sweaters, coats, padded clothes, all of which are trendy.

  Li Qiao scolded: "Cheng Shuqin, what are you doing?" She stepped forward to close the closet: "When you enter someone else's closet, do you know how to be polite?"

   Xue Sufen also saw it: "Li Qiao, you still have a mink coat at home."

  Li Qiao didn't understand, what's so special about having a mink fur coat? She thought that there was nothing to sell in the mall, so she became more thoughtful: "My good brother in the country specially received Diao Mao as a wedding gift for him."

   "You also have a lot of clothes." Cheng Shuqin said.

  Li Qiao: "I bought it myself."

   "Where did you get the money?" Xue Sufen asked.

  Cheng Shuqin waited eagerly for an explanation.

Li Qiao is not in a hurry: "Some classmates in my hometown supply and marketing cooperative are interested in my hand-knitting, and buy from me. Grandma helped me to accept the village aunts and girls as apprentices to do weaving. Our family earns five cents for each weaving. It also includes errands, deliveries and quality checks. Just a little bit of savings and here’s the receipt.”

  Li Qiao took out the list from the previous supply and marketing cooperative.

   This list was brought over in the novel she was reading.

   just came in handy.

  Xue Sufen saw that the quantity of the goods was two hundred at a time, and the purchase price ranged from fifteen cents to twenty-five cents.

  There is also the seal stamped by the supply and marketing cooperative and the signature of the person in charge.

  It seems that Li Qiao's things come from a really serious way.

   She was convinced.

Li Qiao put away the receipt and began to question: "Sufen, did you bring Cheng Shuqin here on purpose and ran to check my closet? Did you want to accuse my partner or me of stealing again? Although we didn't get along very well, But grandma said, we are real fellow villagers. She grew up with Grandpa Xue and Grandma Xue, and they have a deep friendship. Let me be good with you. You have repeatedly harmed me with Cheng Shuqin. Thank you Grandma stayed up all night knitting gloves for you to please you and get along with me, white-eyed wolf! Don't come next time."

  Li Qiao scolded Xue Sufen and gave a straightforward order to evict her.
