"Yes! Why don't you recognize me? Have I changed a lot?"
Qiao Jinling smiled with crooked eyebrows. She was happy from the bottom of her heart when she saw that Grewei could become mature and responsible.
"It has indeed changed a lot. If I had known you would be so beautiful when you grew up, I wouldn't have bullied you when you were a child."
Grewe was also generous and joked. There was no trace of the cramped life on his face. His face was stretched and his expression was relaxed. It seemed that Grewe was enjoying his current life.
"You are more joking than before. I came to you to give you something."
Qiao Jinling walked to Grewe's side, took out the house book from her bag, and put it on the table.
"What's this?"
"The house book of your grandma's house. When Grandma Ge passed away, she put the house book with my mother. Now it can be regarded as returning to the original owner."
Qiao Jinling's voice is not loud, especially in the noisy farmer's market.
"My grandma? She still misses me, but I didn't even see her for the last time. Thank you, Qiao Jinling. I heard about it after I came back. Before grandma passed away, you and your aunt took care of her. I thank you.
"
Grewe bowed deeply to Qiao Jinling. This bow was both a thank you and a farewell to those days.
"You're so good, what kind of gift are you doing? If you want to thank me, just make me a freshly baked sesame seed cake. Seeing as how popular you are in selling it, you can't even wait in line."
Qiao Jinling pointed to the sesame seed cakes in the smoldering oven to resolve the awkward and sensational atmosphere. She found that she didn't know how to deal with this situation at all. She really didn't know how embarrassing it must be for those who were proposed to in public.
"It's all here with me. I have to let you have a bite of sesame seed cakes. Don't worry, I'm all genuine. When I went out to wander, I had the chance to learn from the old master. It's very delicious. Just wait."
Grewe came to the stove and worked for a while. After a while, he wrapped two sesame cakes in paper and handed them to Qiao Jinling.
"Eat slowly, be careful not to burn it."
Grewe carefully reminded Qiao Jinling that the sesame seed cakes were crispy and crispy with distinct grains of sesame seeds. She could already smell the aroma of wheat before she even took it into her mouth.
"It looks good at first glance, I'll give it a try."
Qiao Jinling carefully took a bite, and the steam from the sesame cake hit her face. However, the hot sesame cake was so delicious that Qiao Jinling endured the burning and took a big bite.
"By the way, I have something for you too."
Grewe rummaged in his bag, took out a roll of paper, and handed it to Qiao Jinling.
"What is this? It's not a threatening letter to me, is it?"
Qiao Jinling's cheeks were stuffed with sesame cakes and she couldn't help but tease.
"What threatening letter? If I want to bully you, do I need a threatening letter? You can open it and take a look and you will know what it is."
Qiao Jinling held the sesame cake in her mouth, freed her hand to open a corner of the paper roll, and immediately understood that what was inside was the roll of money that she had secretly stuffed into Grewei at the Guangzhou Railway Station.
"You didn't spend this money?"
"I thought about flowers, traveled all over the country, and when I was so hungry that I almost fainted, I wanted to buy sesame cakes, but in the end I couldn't. It was my chance to meet the master who taught me how to make sesame cakes, so I kept the money.
, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to return it to you. I don’t know where you are, but I just met you now. Please take the money back!”
There were tears in Grewe's eyes. After wandering outside for so many years, this roll of money became the only light in his life, letting him know that in a life full of mud, there were still people who cared about him so much.
"I have no intention of asking you to pay it back. I was worried that you would go astray back then. I have some money in my hand and can find another way to go. You'd better take the money back and leave it as a thought. If you still feel bad about it, just take it back."
Pack me some more sesame seed cakes and make some cold dishes, and I'll take them back to my parents."
Qiao Jinling was also moved. She didn't expect that her unintentional move would completely change Grewei's life. No matter how many truths she preached, they might not be as meaningful as this roll of money.
"Okay! I took the money back, just for thought. I, a toad, don't dare to eat swan meat like you. If you don't mind, just accept me as your brother. Although I don't have that much money, as long as you have something to do in the future,
, say hello, brother, I will definitely go up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire without even frowning."
Ge Ruiwei patted his chest. He knew that Qiao Jinling was not something he could climb up to now, and his longing could only be buried deep in his heart. It would be nice to have another identity to protect her.
"Okay, I will accept you as my brother, but I don't have to go through mountains of fire. You can live a good life on your own and find me a good sister-in-law. That would be the best."
Qiao Jinling stretched out her hand, looked calm, and faced Grewei, with an extremely sincere light in her eyes.
Grewe also reached out. In her previous life, she was bullied miserably by Grewe. In this life, because of her, Grewe was homeless. This time, the two of them finally reconciled.
Qiao Jinling also felt relaxed. She occasionally thought of this homeless elementary school classmate and worried about him. She was particularly happy to have such a result.
When he arrived at the alleyway in front of his house, Qiao Jinling saw a familiar figure, it was Qiao Jinfeng.
Shouldn't she be taking care of Gu Xihe in the hospital? Why are you standing here without going home?
"Sister Jinfeng, what are you doing?"
Qiao Jinling tapped her sister on the shoulder, startling her.
"Lingling, I thought you were at home. Where have you been?"
Qiao Jinfeng looked around and talked about him. Qiao Jinling noticed it and casually talked about what happened just now. Unexpectedly, Qiao Jinfeng was quite emotional.
"Sister, you keep talking about things from the past today. If you have something to say, we sisters don't have to hide it, just say it directly."
Qiao Jinling saw that Qiao Jinfeng had something to say, probably related to Gu Xihe, but she never expected that Qiao Jinfeng wanted to take Gu Xihe back to Beijing for medical treatment.
"Lingling, don't rush to persuade me. I've done a full-body examination on him. Although some data haven't come out yet, there is still a lot of hope for Gu Xihe to stand up. I want to give him a try."
Qiao Jinfeng thought about it for a long time, her words were calm and her eyes were firm. It seemed that she was not here to discuss with everyone, but to give an announcement.
"I understand, sister, Gu Xihe is sick, so we naturally have to help him stand up. There is no problem with this. Even if we tell our parents, they won't say anything and they will definitely agree. The key thing is..."
Qiao Jinlin paused, took a deep breath, and grabbed Qiao Jinfeng's hand: "The key is, how did you feel about him to save him? Tell me the truth, don't hide it."
"I...I want to marry him..."
As soon as Qiao Jinfeng finished speaking, tears fell together. She knew she had to do this.
