Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

They didn't expect that they came here to work this time. They kept sitting, lowering their heads and bending over. When they looked up, they felt that their necks and waists were not their own.

It's no easier than doing farm work.

Luo Hongyu's hands were numb and her waist was drooping, but fortunately she had been practicing martial arts and recovered after a while. Luo Hongxing, on the other hand, groaned and complained of being tired, rubbing his arms and legs, and begging for candy.

Ji Qinglan coaxed Luo Hongxing into a good mood with some winter melon candy and asked Luo Hongyu to light a fire and steam the pine nuts in an aluminum pot. While steaming, she started to fry chestnuts.

She went to the riverbank and dug up clean river sand. She first fried the sand to dry out the moisture, and then put in dried chestnuts. These chestnuts were all selected by her one by one, and they were large and plump. She cut a hole in each of them with a knife.

Luo Hongxing and Ji Xincheng kept circling around the pot, their noses twitching, and they kept asking if it was cooked or not. They were so greedy.

When they were finally cooked, Ji Qinglan put a few open chestnuts in a bowl and asked them to take it outside to eat.

"Be careful, it's hot!" Before he could finish his words, Luo Hongxing ran out with the bowl in his hand, and Ji Xincheng followed him with his short legs.

They certainly didn't hear much, because after a while Luo Hongxing started yelling.

"Hot, hot, hot." Luo Hongxing shouted, then rushed back to the kitchen like a cannonball and took a big gulp of boiled water.

"Look how anxious you are. You deserve it." Luo Hongyu smiled at him unhappily.

"Hmph! It's not hot at all." Luo Hongxing snorted coldly and ran out.

Ji Qinglan poured the fried chestnuts into a winnowing basket and started frying the pine nuts.

As they fried chestnuts and pine nuts, smoke from the kitchen never ceased to rise. This was because no one lived around them. The house in front of them, where Xiang Xiangqing's family lived, was empty and the broken house with rotten tiles was uninhabited. The educated youth site behind them was far away.

No one will find out that they are secretly making delicious food.

Luo Hongxing and Ji Xincheng ate chestnuts and pine nuts and ate less for dinner.

On Sunday, Ji Qinglan took the siblings to the riverbank to play. At noon, she took down the dried chicken hanging from the beam, stewed chestnut chicken soup, and made sweet and sour pork ribs for them to eat. In the afternoon, she took Ji Xincheng to send them back.

When they went back, I packed five pounds of pine nuts and chestnuts for them. These would be great as gifts to relatives or for entertaining guests during the New Year.

Grandma Luo was very happy when she saw her grandchildren coming back and Ji Qinglan coming back with a big bag of things. Although her daughter-in-law always prepared a lot of things for Ji Qinglan, she had no complaints at all.

Because Ji Qinglan always had the same gift in return, and this way of reciprocity, instead of helping the poor, made the interactions between the two families more casual and comfortable.

It was a rare occasion to see Ji Xincheng coming along, so Grandma Luo pulled him into the house, grabbed a handful of candy, and made some milk powder for the child to drink.

"Xincheng has grown taller again, and so have you. Why don't you bring him here?" Grandma Luo touched Ji Xincheng's little face and said angrily.

Ji Xincheng fell into Grandma Luo's arms and said aggrievedly: "Grandma, Mom never takes me with her."

Ji Qinglan glared at his son unhappily and said, "You are telling lies with your eyes open. Say it again with your eyes closed."

Except for going to the county town to deliver goods every half a month, she would never fail to bring him with her. If she knew that he had reported you, she would be punished when she got back.

I spoiled him when he was young, and now that he has grown up, he can be beaten.

Seeing that his mother was angry, Ji Xincheng quickly nestled in Grandma Luo's arms and gave a flattering smile.

"You see, the child remembers it every time. Don't fool him just because he is young. When Hongyu and Hongxing were young, their parents often lied to them, and they have always remembered it in their hearts." Grandma Luo said.

"Especially when Hongyu was little, her father promised to buy her a doll, but he never did. Hongyu would keep talking about it every day when she opened her eyes. She would talk about it while eating, going to school, and leaving school. The first thing she would ask her father when he would buy her a doll, and she would keep talking about it until he bought her a doll."

Luo Hongyu blushed and couldn't help but say, "Grandma, I wasn't like this when I was a kid."

"Yes. One time when I picked you up from school, the first thing you said when you saw me was, 'Grandma, did my dad buy anything for me today?'" said Grandma Luo, smiling so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.

Luo Hongyu's face turned even redder. She couldn't believe that she would do such a stupid thing when she was a kid. She was no longer at the age where she loved dolls, and she really couldn't empathize with her younger self.

Ji Qinglan also found it funny. Director Luo was so busy, how could he pay attention to the promise he had unintentionally made to his daughter?

When she returned, she went to the post office to send some things to Uncle Peng, including the pine nuts, winter melon candy, dried goods, and honey that she had prepared during this period.

Then I called Uncle Peng and we started chatting.

Now Peng Guodong has long moved out of his original residence and lives in a sanatorium villa. There are guards guarding the gate and no outsiders are allowed to enter without permission. It is very quiet.

The sanatorium has a professional medical team, and he has a guard named Xiao Song to take care of his daily life. He strolls and plays chess with old friends every day, and he lives a very comfortable life.

As for Liang Qian and Xiang Lanlan, they had always thought that he was too ill to get out of bed and had been hospitalized in a nursing home.

Hearing that Ji Qinglan had sent him something again, Peng Guodong couldn't help but persuade her: "Don't keep sending me things. I don't need anything."

"They are just some mountain products that I prepared myself. They are not valuable." Ji Qinglan said indifferently.

The post office worker next to her who knew her rolled his eyes at her. Isn’t she worth anything?

It's either pine nuts or honey, air-dried rabbit meat, winter melon candy, dried vegetables, dried black fungus...

She thought each one was valuable.

Not to mention the several dollars postage each time she sends it, sending it twice a month would be enough to cover half a month's salary for her.

Well, this girl must be from a cadre family who wants to experience life!

"You, I can't argue with you." Peng Guodong said helplessly. He asked her not to send it, but she still sent him big and small packages every time. He was blessed with the filial piety of this child.

He also wanted to give her a subsidy every month, but she sent it back unopened. After this happened several times, Peng Guodong didn't dare to send her money anymore.

Hearing Ji Xincheng calling him grandpa over and over again on the other end of the line, Peng Guodong immediately became alert and said anxiously, "Hurry up and give the phone to Xincheng. I haven't heard the voice of Xiaoguaiguai for a long time."

Ji Xincheng, who had been standing at his mother's feet, finally received the call as he wished, and the grandfather and grandson started chatting with each other.

No matter where he is or with whom, Ji Xincheng seems to be the group's favorite.

Ji Qinglan was sure that he had never taught him, so could it be that Ji Xincheng had this skill naturally?

The two of them started chatting, leaving Ji Qinglan aside. When the phone came back to Ji Qinglan, the two of them started talking about Liang Qian as usual.

"Liang Qian has not paid back the money he owed. He was demoted to the workshop and his salary was cut significantly. His parents were unwilling to give him money. He seemed to be in great need of money, so he did some work in the power supply bureau." Peng Guodong said. He had asked people to monitor Liang Qian's every move. After learning what Liang Qian had done, he felt mixed emotions.
