Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

16 Peng Guodong

"Uncle Peng, what are you saying? You helped us arrange jobs and accommodation, so it's our duty to take care of you. I hope you don't mind us disturbing your peace." Xiang Lanlan said modestly.

"No way, it's very quiet here. Xiao Liu is injured and has gone back. I'm so happy to have you here to accompany me, an old man."

Xiang Lanlan helped the person sit down, then turned around to pour tea. A hint of pride flashed across her face as she turned around. Liang Qian still had a way. As soon as they arrived, they secretly arranged for Uncle Peng's nanny to be accidentally injured and sent home.

She moved into this two-room Western-style building and helped with the cleaning and cooking every day. It was an easy job and Uncle Peng didn't need her to serve him specifically.

"It's raining again these past two days. Liang Qian said there's a store that specializes in selling medicinal wine that's especially useful for treating old injuries. He's already asked someone to buy some."

"He is thoughtful." Peng Guodong took the tea and drank it. His leg was injured from the battlefield when he was young. It would hurt after being hit by rain. There was no way medicinal wine could cure it. However, he was happy that Liang Qian was willing to help.

As they were talking, the door opened and the young and handsome Liang Qian walked into the yard, holding a child and a fish in his hand, and hurried out to greet Lanlan.

The child was wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket and had a chubby face, looking as festive as a fat baby walking out of a New Year picture.

"My dear, did you eat seriously today?" Xiang Lanlan hugged her own son and couldn't help but kiss him on the face.

The child looked at Xiang Lanlan and babbled, nestling in her arms.

As Peng Guodong watched, he felt even more satisfied with Xiang Lanlan.

"Uncle Peng, I saw someone selling fish on the street and bought one. It's very delicious when used to make soup."

"Okay, okay, you spent money, I'll give you the money later."

"Why do I need your money? I have money." Liang Qian smiled and brought the fish into the kitchen while speaking. He started to kill the fish.

Xiang Lanlan gave her son to Peng Guodong and went into the kitchen to help.

In a short while, the two of them prepared four dishes and a soup, including braised pork ribs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and clear-boiled fish.

At the dinner table, Xiang Lanlan specially prepared rice flour porridge for her son and was feeding him little by little with a small spoon. Peng Guodong saw it and kept it in mind. He felt that it was not in vain that he made friends with Xiang Lanlan.

"Lanlan, stop being busy and eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold."

"It's okay, feed the baby first, I'll eat later."

Peng Guodong was touched when he saw this and said, "Xincheng is all thanks to you, otherwise he wouldn't have grown so well."

"I am Qinglan's good sister. Her child is not my child. I am just thinking about taking good care of Xincheng so that she can feel at ease down there." Xiang Lanlan smiled and lowered her sleepy eyelids. This old thing still hasn't forgotten that bitch Ji Qinglan. She keeps talking about her to annoy her every day.

"Uncle Peng, have some fish soup." Liang Qian served Peng Guodong a bowl of fish soup.

"Ah!" Peng Guodong looked at the handsome and elegant Liang Qian, and thought of Ji Qinglan, and said: "You are a good person, but it's a pity that Ji girl was not blessed and passed away early."

Liang Qian also lowered his head, and after a long while, he perked up again and smiled at Peng Guodong: "When Qinglan was alive, she often thought of how good Uncle Peng was to her. He was like her biological father, and she said that she would definitely be filial to you in the future. Although she is gone, I will also try my best to fulfill her last wish."

Peng Guodong listened and tears welled up in his eyes. Ji Qinglan's parents sacrificed their lives to save him. He swore to raise Ji Qinglan in a private family and treat her like his own daughter. He had no choice but to work outside the city in the early years, so after being transferred back to the capital, Ji Qinglan went to the countryside again.

Before he could bring the person back to the city, Ji girl passed away early, leaving behind only a child.

Seeing Peng Guodong crying, Liang Qianhe and Xiang Lanlan hurried to persuade him.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Peng. It's all my fault for making you think of sad things."

"No, eat quickly, the food is cold." Peng Guodong wiped his tears and invited the two to eat.

Liang Qian quickly picked up a piece of pork ribs with chopsticks and put it in his bowl, then told him about some interesting things that happened at work to change the subject.

The dinner table was filled with joy, warmth and naturalness again, just like a family of four.

After dinner, Liang Qian played chess with Peng Guodong, cleared the dishes for Lanlan, and was busy taking care of his son. At the same time, he did not forget to refill tea and water for the two of them. He was so busy that he completely forgot to check the call log.

Ji Qinglan has been uneasy ever since she hung up the phone. She finally figured out why Liang Qian and Xiang Lanlan were able to settle down in Beijing in her previous life and why Liang Qian was able to climb to a high position. It must be that at this time they used Xiang Lanlan's son to replace Xin Cheng and gained Uncle Peng's trust.

Xiang Lanlan is at Uncle Peng's house. How should she tell Uncle Peng that she is still alive?

Moreover, the village leader Xiang was keeping an eye on her, so it was difficult for her to make a phone call. Even a letter to Uncle Peng might be intercepted by them.

In this regard, Ji Qinglan was determined to return to the city. She had to go back and expose the hypocrites Liang Qian and Xiang Lanlan.

Thinking of the train ticket, she didn't expect to get it from Xiang Guo. There was Secretary Zhang in the village who could give her a letter of introduction, but the ticket back to the city...

Thinking of Liang Qian's hypocrisy and his plotting against his family, she realized that Liang Qian might have arranged everything before she even got on the train.

So what? She must go back to the capital; she and the Xiang family and Liang Qian will fight to the death.

Now, as long as she stays in the village, the Xiang family may let her go temporarily, but what about the future? She still wants to go back to the city, and she still wants to go to college...

Just as she expected, in the afternoon, Captain Xiang brought Xiang Qiang back on his bike. The public security comrades conducted an investigation and confirmed that the incident was a misunderstanding. Xiang Qiang was acquitted.

This incident did have a bad impact on the Xiang family. The next day, Ji Qinglan heard that Xiang Qiang was beaten by Captain Xiang in the evening, and he went to work obediently with a hoe early the next morning.

Now that winter has arrived, there is not much work to do in the fields. One can just walk around and check on the seedlings in the fields, replace those that have frozen to death, fill up collapsed ridges with mud, dig where needed, or inspect the riverside. One walks and stops from time to time. In short, the work is very easy, and those who work get six work points.

People in the village rushed to do this job.

More people are staying at home to keep warm, and more are gathering together to chat.

The two families next door to Captain Xiang's house started talking about how the Xiang family beat their son last night.

According to them, Xiang Qiang, who is lazy and a gambler, should have been beaten up long ago.

Ji Qinglan received her fourth day reward at home.

515 reported the fourth day's subsidy, which included kilograms of cotton, pieces of cotton cloth, handfuls of noodles, and kilograms of fruit candy.

Just as she expected, after she went into the water to save Ni'er yesterday, the system subsidy doubled again today.

Too much, really too much.

Seeing the piles of things in the backpack, Ji Qinglan's heart trembled.

When she saved people, it was just an act of urgency, not for the sake of gaining benefits, really.
