Chapter 191

"Dad, there is an uncle outside looking for you."

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yuyu, who was sitting on the swing in the yard with a notebook, trotted to the door of the hall, looked at Ji Yi sitting on the sofa and started talking.

"Who?" Ji Yi was a little surprised, got up and walked out.

Everyone who knows him well knows what kind of character he is.

So even if I wanted to give a gift during the holidays or something, it would all go directly through Xiaoqi and the others.

It won’t come directly to you.

And today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, why did someone come to see me for nothing?

"It's you." But when he came to the entrance of the hall and saw the people standing outside the courtyard, Ji Yi suddenly realized.

He looked to be in his late 30s. He was wearing a thick black cotton-padded jacket, a pair of jeans, and a pair of old leather shoes.

The clothes he wears are a little nondescript and he looks rather rustic.

Even more rustic than him.

"Passing by, let's take a look at you." The man outside grinned at Ji Yi.

Ji Yi walked to the courtyard door, opened it casually, and let the man carrying a big bag walk in.

At the same time, he waved to the little fish not far away.

After he came to his side, Ji Yi said to Xiao Yuyu, "Call me Erbo."

"Second uncle." Xiao Yuyu called the man obediently, and then looked at Ji Yi doubtfully.

I have no relatives at home.

"The little fish are so big."

The man looked at the little fish and laughed, with a little emotion in his eyes.

"It's more than three years old."

After Ji Yi smiled at the man, he seemed to see Xiao Yuyu's doubts and explained to him.

"We are more or less related to our hometown."

"His grandfather and my grandfather are brothers, so we are also a family."

After Ji Yi explained to Xiao Yuyu, he hesitated for a while and asked the man in a low voice: "Second brother, did you burn some paper money for them for me?"

"Burn." Ji Qing nodded with a slight sigh in his eyes.

"That's good." Ji Yi let out a long breath, took the bag from Ji Qing's hand, and joked with a smile: "Is this a gift for me? Don't wait until you leave. If you take him away, I will make a fool of myself."

"I must have brought it to you."

Ji Qing rolled his eyes at Ji Yi, looked at Xiao Yuyu, and explained to Ji Yi: "It brought some bacon and local products from home, as well as sweaters, scarves and cotton shoes that my mother knitted for you and Yuyu."

Ji Yi couldn't help but pause when he heard this.

He looked at the bag in his hand with a complicated expression.

I don't know what I thought of.

Ji Qing didn't notice that Ji Yi's steps paused slightly and continued: "My mother asked me to tell you, when you have time, take Xiao Yuyu home to see if you are home."

"Ah."

Ji Yi nodded slightly.

In most rural areas, kinship relations are valued very highly.

Ji Yi's hometown probably belongs to that kind of place.

However, perhaps because he came out to work too early, his understanding of this concept is not deep.

Therefore, his parents, brother and sister-in-law died, and his grandfather and grandmother also died when he was very young, so in his mind, he actually had no home.

But one or two words from Ji Qing made it difficult for him to calm down.

It seems... I seem to understand the so-called concept of kinship.

"Daddy, let me take a look."

As soon as they entered the hall, Ji Yicai put aside the things Ji Qing brought. Xiao Yuyu couldn't wait to open the big bag and rummaged inside.

"You kid, you have..."

Ji Yi, who was about to make tea for Ji Qing, laughed and scolded Xiao Yuyu. When he was about to teach him a lesson, Ji Qing glared at him.

"Aren't you allowed to look at your own things?"

"Sit down for a while and I'll make you tea." Hearing Ji Qing's words, Ji Yi smiled helplessly and walked upstairs.

Although my tea leaves were almost finished yesterday, there seems to be a little left.

You have to go look for it upstairs.

Ji Qing sat down on the sofa, turned to look at Xiao Yuyu, who was rummaging in the bag with his butt sticking out, and said with a smile: "Yuyu, did your little dad bully you? If he did, tell your second uncle. Let me take it out on you."

"No, my little dad is very kind to Yuyu."

Xiao Yuyu shook his head repeatedly, then raised his head and looked curiously at the second uncle whom he had just met for the first time. He was a little curious: "Second uncle, has Yuyu seen you before?"

"I've seen you before." Ji Qing hummed, with a slight smile in his eyes: "I hugged you not long after you were born. I used to play with you when you came home."

"But Yuyu doesn't remember." Xiao Yuyu felt a little disappointed when he heard this.

"Because you were not sensible at that time." Ji Qing laughed.

No matter how smart a child is, it is impossible for him to be able to remember things from the moment he is born.

If this kid remembered, he might be scared.

"Yes." The little guy bit his finger and continued to rummage inside the bag, feeling a little sad at the same time: "If nothing happens to dad and the others, Yuyu will definitely know the second uncle."

When Ji Qing heard this, he became silent.

Because the little guy is right.

The little guy's grandparents sent a message to his parents a few days before the accident, saying that they would go home and play for a while.

Even his grandparents planned to take Yuyu to live in their hometown for a year or two. When the little guy is older, when he is about four years old, they will go to Tianhai City again and let the little guy study there.

But who knew that something would happen to them within a few days.

Tread!

More than ten minutes later, Ji Yi came down after finding tea leaves from upstairs.

He had just come downstairs and was stunned for a moment when he looked at Xiao Yuyu, who was wearing a red sweater and red cotton shoes.

"Daddy, does Yuyu look good?"

The little fish turned around happily, looking at Ji Yi with eyes full of joy.

"Good-looking." Ji Yi was not shy about his praise.

Although the styles of sweaters and cotton shoes look very ordinary, even a bit old-fashioned.

But it is undeniable that the little guy is very cute, and he looks even cuter after wearing this sweater and cotton shoes.

And clothes, these things, are meant to keep you warm.

It doesn’t matter if the style is old or not.

Just keep warm.

On this issue, Ji Yi has no doubts at all.

The older generation in the countryside are very good at knitting sweaters.

Many of the ones sold in clothing stores are not as warm as those made by oneself.

"Yuyu thinks so too." Xiaoyuyu chuckled twice, then picked up his coat and slowly put it on without taking it off.

After Ji Yi smiled, she took the box and planned to make tea for Ji Qing.

However, Ji Qing seemed to know that Ji Yi planned to make tea for himself. After getting up from the sofa, he smiled and said, "Don't waste the tea. I just stopped by to take a look. I have to leave now."

Ji Yi stopped, looked back at Ji Qing and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm working, where else can I go?"

Ji Qing rolled his eyes at Ji Yi, waved his hand and walked outside.

Ji Yi put down the box in his hand and followed Xiao Yuyu out.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, Ji Yi saw a suitcase and a large full backpack not far from the roadside.

When Ji Qing walked towards the luggage, Ji Yi said casually: "Why do you still have to go out to work?"

Although he has taken root in Mingshi, he has never had any concept of kinship before.

But he has also been sending money back to his hometown.

And it also allows people to do some more meaningful things in their hometown.

In the past, my brother and sister-in-law often helped the family. Over the years, life in my hometown has been getting better and better. There is no need to go out to work all the time.

Even if you work, it's more convenient to be in your hometown, there's no need to run out!

"A man has to make money to support his family." Ji Qing laughed twice, waved back to Ji Yi, put on his backpack, dragged his suitcase and walked out of Wutong Street.

Looking at Ji Qing's back, Ji Yi touched his chin and began to think deeply.

After Ji Qing could no longer be seen, Ji Yi took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Hello, boss."

As soon as the call was dialed, a somewhat calm voice sounded on the phone.

Ji Yi walked into the yard with Yuyu, and at the same time asked the person on the other side of the phone, "Is there anything going on in my hometown?"

"It's okay, boss, why did you ask about this?" The person on the other side of the phone also looked a little confused.

Although Ji Yi also pays attention to the developments in his hometown from time to time.

But basically it was just a question.

<divclass="contentadv">How do you feel today, a little strange.

"Then why did my second brother, Ji Qing, go out to work?" Ji Yi continued with a little doubt in his eyes: "I remember that my sister-in-law helped him open a restaurant in my hometown two years ago, and My second brother and second sister-in-law are not stupid either, so it’s impossible that they can’t continue running the business, right?”

"Oh, boss, that's what you're asking about." The person on the other end of the phone suddenly realized what his boss was worried about.

He explained with a smile: "Don't worry, boss. Nothing happened to brother Ji Qing's family, and the restaurant is running well. It's just that brother Ji Qing and his second sister-in-law are restless people. They can't sit idle, so they plan to go out and do some work. "

"Is everything okay?" Ji Yi confirmed again.

"It's all right."

The voice of the person on the other side of the phone was full of helplessness, and he continued to explain: "Brother Ji Qing contracted a construction site outside a few days ago, so the couple took a plane and left home early this morning."

"I really can't sit still..."

After Ji Yi chatted with the person on the phone for a few more words, he hung up the phone.

He looked back and looked out, murmuring in a daze.

Most people, once they have some money and some free time, will basically go for fun or something.

Although Ji Qing is not very rich, in a place like his hometown, he is already pretty good.

He had saved some money before, and now he had his own restaurant. Even if he didn't do anything, he would be able to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime in a place like his hometown.

But unexpectedly, he actually went to the construction site...

But soon, Ji Yi adjusted his mood.

Since nothing happened to Ji Qing's family, there was nothing to worry about.

He went back to the house, took the local specialties Ji Qing had brought from the bags into the kitchen, and then put the bacon away.

Then he took out his own sweater, cotton shoes, and towel.

All bright red, it looks festive.

Ji Yi changed directly in the hall without saying a word.

After putting it on, Ji Yi felt a little dazed again.

Whether it is a sweater or cotton shoes, they are very close to the body and warm.

A friendly face appeared in his mind, and Ji Yi suddenly had the idea to go home and have a look.

But seeing Xiao Yuyu running out of the hall with two puppies, Ji Yi hesitated again.

Although the little guy's mood has almost recovered.

But now if I take him back to my hometown to play, will there be any problems with recurring emotions?

"Lets see!"

Sighing, Ji Yi put on her coat and walked into the kitchen.

When Chu Qian and Mu Yu came back, they were stunned for a moment when they looked at Ji Yi and Xiao Yuyu who were sitting at the dining table, looking very happy.

"The style looks old-fashioned, but it looks festive, where did it come from?"

Mu Yu glanced at the sweaters and scarves of the two, then looked at the cotton shoes they were wearing, and asked in a loud voice.

Although she doesn't appreciate this style, she still thinks it's very interesting as long as she doesn't wear it herself.

As for Ji Yi, she's not too handsome, so she looks a bit out of place in this outfit.

However, because Xiao Yuyu looks cute, he looks very interesting after wearing that outfit.

"It was given by someone else."

Ji Yi responded casually, and then said: "It's just the right time for you to come back, let's eat."

After greeting them, Ji Yi and Xiao Yuyu picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating.

The two women went to wash their hands and then came to sit down at the dining table.

After finishing dinner, Ji Yi sat on the sofa and played with her mobile phone.

He glanced at the two women from the corner of his eye and asked, "Did the gift come along the way?"

"Delivered."

Before Chu Qian could speak, Mu Yu nodded and sighed: "That old man is a bit scary!"

"Why are you so scary?" Ji Yi looked at Mu Yu in confusion.

If you don't know Old Man Qian, or don't know Old Man Qian, then the old guy is just a little old man in the eyes of others.

Only those who really know what the old guy has done may feel some pressure from the old guy because of his deeds when they meet him.

But even so, it’s not scary!

Moreover, Mu Yu came from a wealthy family like the Mu family, so no one had ever seen him.

The term scary is really interesting.

"Seeing him, I had the same feeling as when I was facing Grandpa Chu and the others. It was very scary anyway."

Muyu lowered his head and thought for a while before expressing his feelings.

The reason why Chu Qian's grandfather was used as an example was entirely because among the six families, apart from being the most familiar with her own grandfather, she was also the most familiar with Chu Qian's grandfather.

And why she didn't use her grandfather as an example is also very simple.

At home, my grandfather basically never got angry in front of him.

She had never seen her grandfather really angry.

So I can’t use my own grandfather as an example.

"He is a very scary person." Chu Qian also nodded slightly, agreeing with Mu Yu's feelings.

When she met Mr. Qian just now when she went to help Ji Yi deliver gifts, she felt a lot of similarities with her grandfather and others from that old man.

Her instinct told her that he was a very scary old man.

Although she has dealt with many elders for a long time, she is also somewhat self-aware.

I am still a little far away from such a person.

It may seem like a point, but this point may be a natural chasm that is difficult for people to cross.

"Can you tell his physical condition?"

Ji Yi's eyes shifted to the phone in his hand again and asked again.

Muyu looked a little confused.

But Chu Qian seemed to understand a little, shook her head and said: "It seems to be quite energetic, but it's hard to say whether he is really energetic."

Some people always look sick, as if they might die at any time.

But they may live for a long, long time.

Some people look particularly energetic and healthy, but no one knows how long they can live.

Moreover, who can be sure that it is not a kind of reflection.

Therefore, if you want to know how long a person can live from his mental state, it is generally impossible to tell.

At least, someone who has only seen it once or twice wouldn’t be able to tell.

Unless you are the kind of person who has frequent contact with that person, you can see some clues through some details.

"Quite energetic?" Ji Yi raised his eyebrows, murmured, and suddenly smiled with relief: "Forget it, it doesn't matter how long he can live, as long as he doesn't die in the next few days."

Mu Yu didn't understand what Ji Yi's words meant, and Chu Qian didn't understand either.

However, they did not ask Ji Yi what he meant by this.

After thinking about it, Chu Qian said to Ji Yi: "After hearing what Mr. Qi said, Mr. Qian seems to be unpopular, but when I went to help you give gifts along the way, I saw a lot of guests at his house. The threshold is almost crossed.”

"It's one thing to not be liked sometimes, but it's another thing to be treated when others don't like you."

Ji Yi laughed.

That's what the old guy is.

Even though countless people in Ming City didn't want to see him, they even hoped that the old guy would die soon.

But as long as the old guy doesn't die, many people will still have to save face.

Moreover, probably countless people still desperately hope that the old guy can live longer.

After all, the old guy is annoying.

But there's no way to deny that the old guy can be regarded as a talisman in Mingshi in a sense.

If this sea-fixing needle collapses, there will be storms and waves.

"..."

When Mu Yu heard Ji Yi's words, he was speechless for a while, but he understood it quite well.

If a person is powerful to a certain extent, even if many people don't want to see him, they can only recognize him by pinching their noses.

Not only do you have to admit it, but you also have to bow your head obediently and make a more obedient gesture.

It can be seen from this that the old man is really powerful.

But soon Mu Yu seemed to have thought of something again. He looked at Ji Yi and said, "By the way, when we left, the old man asked us to ask you, were the fireworks last night okay?"

"Old guy, you still want to make money from me?" When Ji Yi heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched a few times.

He was a little doubtful now, whether some of his guesses were wrong.

Could it be that the old guy planned to hold a bigger fireworks feast on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so those fireworks were sold to people like him at cost price yesterday?

That old guy actually wants to play a long game to catch big fish? ?

The Mid-Autumn Festival is here, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! !
