The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Yu family are not of the same mind, but the Qin family, separated by a wall, is harmonious and beautiful.

Li Qiao finished his work, poured hot water and soaked his hands for a while, then went to the kitchen shed to sit with Mrs. Qin making wontons, talking to her about school affairs, and mentioned a few educated youth gifts.

He gave her a seemingly valuable notebook.

"You are qualified to receive it. How could anyone else care enough to give them copies of class notes?" Old Mrs. Qin said.

Li Qiao smiled sheepishly: "Actually, I have selfish motives. If I give them a hand today, they will give me a hand tomorrow."

"Some people are worth attracting, and some people are not." Old Mrs. Qin said earnestly: "You still have to be careful as a person. Don't be too honest, so as not to be fooled."

While the grandfather and grandson were talking, there was a knock on the door.

"Is Li Qiao here?"

It's Du Xinxin's voice.

"Yes." Li Qiao stepped forward and opened the door: "Are you alone? Are you here to get the notes? They are all prepared for you."

"Thank you so much. Wang Nannan is cooking." Du Xinxin entered the room and said rather coquettishly: "I have one more thing to trouble you. Help us correct the test paper we did last time."

Li Qiao: "I brought my papers back and stuffed them into the notebooks for each subject. There are detailed steps to solve the problems. You can take them back and check them yourself to see how many points you can get by combining them into one. If you are wrong, correct them in time. If you have any questions,

Call me early tomorrow and I'll go over and talk to you, just in time to teach you how to read your new English."

"That's OK."

Du Xinxin walked away holding her notes and test papers.

Li Qiao closed the door and went back to work in the kitchen shed.

"The brat hasn't come back yet. It's time to make naan after the wontons are served. Let's only order enough for ourselves. He can eat the rest when he comes back." Old Mrs. Qin said to herself as she placed the wontons.

Li Qiao was fascinated by the firelight in front of the stove, smelled the scent of wontons, and listened to Mrs. Qin's nagging. He felt a sense of belonging to his family for no reason.

A cold wind blows.

My mind suddenly became clear. I looked at the dilapidated courtyard, the two broken doors that could only allow one person to pass through, and the rough porcelain bowls that were always slightly chipped. I sighed softly and blurted out: "I miss home."

Old Mrs. Qin smiled: "I'm homesick. I'll go back tomorrow and see if your stepmother is actually pretty good compared to others who spank children. If Jinhua is annoying, you can just ignore her."

Li Qiao responded ambiguously.

After eating, Li Qiao washed up and got ready to go to bed. He heard something moving outside and thought it was Qin Jin coming back. Only when he went out did he realize it was a cat.

I guess it came from the smell of meat on the chopping board.

She endured the cold, rubbed the chopping board inside and out with a brush and put it upright.

Pick up the swill bucket next to the earthen stove and go out to pour it.

As soon as I stepped out of the yard, I felt a light touch on my hand.

"You're still up so late."

The young man's energetic voice echoed in his ears.

Li Qiao said in surprise: "You're back? It's so late. Thank you for your hard work."

"I asked you why you are still not sleeping." Qin Jin repeated unhappily. What should I do if I get frostbite when working in clothes on a cold day?

"A cat came into the yard and made a noise..." Li Qiao explained simply, and then said: "Did you give the meat and fruit to the eldest brother-in-law? Did he say anything?"

"Here we go, he said he would have some free time tomorrow to visit relatives. When he learned that you were ranked first in your grade, he praised you fiercely." Qin Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, with a gloomy look on his face.

Li Qiao blinked: "Why don't you feel happy when you praise me?"

Qin Jin's eyes moved slightly: "How can you not tell that I am unhappy?"

"You kept a straight face and didn't smile," Li Qiao said.

Qin Jin chuckled. He was indeed unhappy because Song Lin's words that praised her were followed by words that were harmful to him subconsciously.

If the people around me don't stop me, I will have to fight today.

Li Qiao also laughed, amused by his expression. Was there a conflict? Logically speaking, no, brother-in-law Qin Jin should be grateful for the meat.

She sat directly next to the earthen stove and started a fire.

Qin Jin stepped forward and pushed her aside and said, "I can just make some food myself. You can go back to the house and sleep."

Li Qiao: "I'm not sleepy at the moment. The wontons I made tonight haven't been finished yet and they have been put in the house. I'll go get them right now."

Li Qiao came back with the wontons, moved a stool to sit next to him, and leaned his head on his shoulder.

Qin Jin touched his arm and said, "I'm dirty and smelly of sweat, so don't smoke me."

Li Qiao sniffed: "No, it's fragrant, like freshly cut grass." It's really strange. He always had an unpleasant tobacco smell on his body before, which was very smoky. But it's gone now. It seems like

I haven’t seen him smoking either. Have you quit smoking?

I still have it in my pocket.

Is it because when you fall in love with someone, the smell of cigarette smoke on his body is ignored by your nose?

Qin Jin laughed loudly. The smell of mud was almost the same, but what about his nose?

Li Qiao covered his mouth: "Keep your voice down, don't wake grandma."

The water is boiling.

Li Qiao stood up and took down the wontons. When he sat down, he tilted his head and said, "Ajin, come and give me a kiss?"

He gently pushed her away: "Kiss you! Don't flirt around. I just want to eat and sleep." She is almost exhausted after a day's work! At this time, even if she dances naked for him, he doesn't want to watch.

.

Li Qiao: "......" Huh?

Mrs. Qin happened to get up at night and heard Qin Jin's words. She became very angry. She cleared her throat and said, "You're back? How many work points did you earn today?"

"very."

Old Mrs. Qin didn't say anything else. If the work was not done neatly and it delayed her from having her great-grandson, the day would not be finished.

Li Qiao waited for Old Mrs. Qin to leave and covered her hot face: "I wonder if grandma heard what we said. Will she think I am not serious? I am too embarrassed to see others." She started to hit him on the arm.

"You badass for being so loud!"

Qin Jin took hold of it, his hand was still warm, and the skin was so good, delicate and smooth. He rubbed it gently like a jade, and comforted: "I must not have heard it, grandma's ears are not very good, I used to talk to her

When you talk and shout at the top of your lungs, she always asks what are you shouting for?"

Li Qiao was speechless. Isn't it because you were too loud and disturbed her?

So crazy!

She has a dignified ladylike image.

She was depressed for a while and then said in a depressed tone: "I'm going back to my room to sleep."

Qin Jin: "I let you come in earlier, and you have to stay here with me to enjoy the cool breeze. Can't you stand it anymore? That's right!"

Li Qiao: "......"

.......

Old Mrs. Qin came back from outside, and Li Qiao had already returned to the house. Just as she wanted, she stepped forward and grabbed Qin Jin's ears. She shouted in a low voice: "You bastard! Your wife has already done this.

Why are you still leaving her alone?"

Qin Jin screamed in pain and looked confused: "What did she do? How could I ignore her?" He is the one who loves his wife the most in the village. Who wouldn't praise her?

"I didn't leave her alone. She just wanted to do that. Why did you refuse?"

"What kind?" Qin Jin was confused.

Old Mrs. Qin pouted.

Qin Jin blushed, and grandma really heard it. Didn't she often say that she was deaf?

Turns out you lied to him.

Mrs. Qin glanced sharply: "Next time you let me hear something I shouldn't hear, don't come back to this house." After she said that, she left.

Qin Jin: "......"

........

It was dark the next day.

Li Qiao was woken up by the knocking on the door outside.

Qin Jin cursed: Who the hell knocked on my door in the middle of the night? Are you tired of living?

There was immediately silence outside. Li Qiao guessed it was Du Xinxin. She dressed lightly and got out of bed to open the door for him.

Du Xinxin held the note in her hands and was embarrassed: "Sorry to disturb you."

Li Qiao: "It's okay."
