Chapter 218 So Sweet

   "What are the young couple muttering in hiding in the house? Ah Jin, come back with some soy sauce." Mrs. Qin knocked on the door and said.

  Qin Jin responded and left.

  The dog at home was restless, so Li Qiao led him out for a walk. Halfway in the suburbs, he found that the back of the young man in front of him looked like Xue Lingqing: "Professor Xue?"

   Xue Lingqing turned his head, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Walking the dog."

   "Yes." Li Qiao untied the leash around the dog's neck, and the dog ran away with a whoosh. She said, "Why are you here?" What are you doing in the wilderness?

   Xue Lingqing lowered his eyes: "Bored and wandering around." In fact, staying at home is too annoying.

  The old mother didn't know where to find a girl and asked him to marry her.

  He actually looks good, and it's interesting to him.

  The university she was recommended to go to earlier had already worked at a young age, but he didn't have any feelings for her.

  If you date her, you will definitely not be half-hearted to Li Qiao, which is unfair to the girl.

   "Professor Xue, my thesis is over, and I have a fee of 30 yuan. When are you free? I'll treat you to dinner."

   Li Qiao's words brought back Xue Lingqing's thoughts, and he said, "I'm free now."

   Li Qiao choked suddenly. Grandma was cooking when she went out just now. If she eats outside, who will the food left at home go to? After some hesitation, he said, "It's better for you to eat at my house today, and I'll treat you again tomorrow."

"OK."

  Li Qiao felt that he was acting weird today, and in normal times, he would not agree.

  The dog disappeared, Li Qiao shouted next to the tree by the roadside: "Rhubarb!"

   Xue Lingqing glanced at her secretly, with clear and bright eyes, curved willow eyebrows, eyelashes curled up naturally, and fair skin with a touch of pink. The tender blue coat on his body looks like a vigorous green seedling.

Li Qiao called out the dog, and when he turned his head, he averted his eyes without a trace, and dared to look at her again after a second, nonchalantly looking for a topic: "I heard you chatting with your classmates before, and there is a stepmother at home? Did you abuse you? "It was the stepmother who married her, right?

   Li Qiao was surprised, he really heard that day. She nodded and shook her head again: "In the early years, my step-mother acted on every occasion and treated me well. Later, due to various reasons, we broke up and rarely saw each other. When you mention it now, I suddenly worry that she will ask me for money for retirement in the future." Now it is inconvenient to travel far away. .

   But ten years from now, twenty years from now?

  If she stays at the school to teach, Dong Lamei will make a fuss, the school will worry about the impact, and her future will be ruined.

  What a big trouble.

  It seems that returning to their hometown during the Chinese New Year requires maintaining a superficial relationship.

   Xue Lingqing: "I have the grace of nurturing, I should give some."

   "It's mainly because of being aggrieved." Li Qiao talked about how she and her grandma cried at the funeral when the floods occurred in the spring, and the stepmother asked her to remarry for 20 yuan. He also mentioned that his step-sister Li Jinhua had repeatedly harmed her, either by secretly drugging her to try to make the lunatics in the same village defile her, or by bringing men into the dormitory to destroy her. "For the first time, I was lucky that I ran fast. The man in the back was short and weak, so I knocked him out, otherwise it would be a disaster." Even if Qin Jin didn't care, she would still react in her heart.

  Xue Ling listened quietly, amused, distressed and angry, and said for a long time: "It's a miracle that you grew up safely."

Li Qiao: "I still have two older sisters to protect me. My stepmother has to be careful when she does bad things. My step-sister was more peaceful when she was young. If it was like this before, I would definitely not be able to fight." She always felt that Li Jinhua was not a Little girl, a girl in the eighteenth or nineteenth year has a thin skin, like Zhao Li and Liu Lanlan, after being cleaned up once, she will be honest.

  Thick-skinned as Cheng Shuqin, who has not returned to school so far.

   But Li Jinhua became more and more courageous as she got frustrated, and her own children could be used as bargaining chips. How could a girl who knows nothing about the world do it?

  The two were chatting when the dog suddenly barked and jumped on the spot.

  Li Qiao stepped forward, and it turned out to be a litter of little hedgehogs, not easy to raise, and probably not tasty. "Rhubarb, let's play." The dog seemed to understand half of it and ran away.

   Xue Lingqing: "What's there?"

  Li Qiao: "Little hedgehog, do you want to raise it?"

   Xue Lingqing: "No." If you want to raise cats and dogs, who will raise hedgehogs?

  “.”

  The two chatted until the dog got tired of playing and wanted to go home.

  Li Qiao buckled the leash, Xue Lingqing said, "I'll go back too." Talking to her didn't improve my mood for any reason.

  The two walked to the gate of the family courtyard, and he said goodbye to Li Qiao.

  Li Qiao: "Didn't you say to go to my house for dinner?"

   "Next time." Xue Lingqing left.

   Li Qiao was puzzled, and then backtracked on what he had agreed. Do you want to eat tomorrow's meal?

  When Li Qiao arrived home, Mrs. Qin was still stewing meat, and Qin Jin was sitting under the eaves reading the newspaper.

   Li Qiao **** his dog and approached him, it was the latest report on policy and current affairs: "Why are you looking at this?"

"Thinking about making money." Qin Jin closed the newspaper and imagined: "In the future, I will buy you a big house, and you will be unable to get out after running around in it for three days and nights. If you like flowers, I will plant all kinds of things in it." Plant all kinds of flowers, put clothes in several big rooms, change them every day, and don’t repeat them throughout the year.”

   Li Qiao laughed, so how rich is it to buy everything? He really dared to draw this pie. She cheered and said: "Okay!" After thinking about it, she said: "No, you will be very busy earning so much. I want you to accompany me. It's enough if you have enough money."

   "Money is also needed, and people can accompany you." Qin Jin said.

  Li Qiao couldn't help raising the corner of his mouth: "OK!"

  After the meal, Li Qiao sat at the desk and drew a picture of the young man who scattered sugar and gave it to Qin Jin.

  Qin Jin slipped his hand and missed, and the paper fell to the ground.

   Li Qiao bowed his head to pick it up at the same time as him.

  Qin Jin touched the paper first, Li Qiao was about to shrink his hands and get up, his face turned to the side, and he felt his lips cool, and sat up straight with his eyes wide open.

  Qin Jin licked his lips, smiling all over his face: "It's so sweet."

  Li Qiao's heart beat faster, he covered his mouth and whispered angrily: "You're so sweet, you scared me."

  Qin Jin had a half-smile, and said with an ambiguous expression, "Do you want to go to bed early tonight?"

  Li Qiao: "Wait for grandma to fall asleep."

   "I know there is a private trading market nearby. It is very lively at night and sells everything. Let's go out for a stroll first."

  Li Qiao hit it off immediately, and when the sky darkened, he went to the trading market with Qin Jin.

  There are many street stalls.

  Eat, wear, everything.

  Twist twist, candied haws, roasted sweet potatoes, fried snacks, etc.

  Handmade cotton shoes, sweaters, wool pants, gloves, socks, etc.

  There were also many people visiting the street stalls, and Li Qiao even saw several students in the class.

  But she didn't say hello to them, and went shopping at the street stalls to pick out goods without distraction. A hundred pairs of nylon socks cost only two yuan and three yuan.

  Buy it in the mall, and the cheapest one costs seven cents.

   And it is a colorful color scheme, which is earthy to the extreme.

  The one on the floor stall is white, which looks too good.

  She seemed to have discovered a business opportunity, and whispered: "Ah Jin, if I sell these socks at school, I will send them out."

  Qin Jin looked around as soon as he entered the gate, in case the patrol found out and escaped. At this moment, the eyes narrowed: "Sell to classmates? People don't talk about you? If you report that you are speculative, you will not be unlucky? You are not allowed to do it." How much does she lose money by doing this as a college student?

  Business is more in line with his status as a bum.

  Li Qiao picked and chose, and paid for two hundred pairs.

  One hundred pairs of large, one hundred pairs of small.

  It’s the same as not selling it for yourself and keeping it for wearing.

   Qin Jin wanted to stop him, but she clapped his hands away.

  Li Qiao took the socks and went shopping. The vest was light and warm, and it only cost one yuan and two.

   Visually, grandma should be able to wear it.

  She bought three pieces.

  The other two pieces are going to be sent home for the eldest sister and the second sister.

  Children's cotton trousers and cotton coats range from eight cents to one piece.

  Li Qiao added five centimeters to the height of his little nephews to buy clothes. I bought some more snacks before leaving with Qin Jin.
