Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

Ji Qinglan was amused by the teasing tone. Xiao Qing and his wife actually had such a lively son. He must have been beaten a lot when he was a child.

"You are welcome to come here anytime, come whenever you want."

Jiang Yan was not very enthusiastic and didn't really want to go as her brother said, but she had to come because her mother asked her to spend more time with her aunt.

Lunch was yam stewed with chicken soup. Ji Qinglan made the braised pork that Jiang Xu had been craving for, fried spicy and sour potato shreds, and stir-fried mung bean sprouts. Director Luo and his family didn't come back, and neither did Mr. Li, so there were only four of them at noon.

Jiang Xu ate with gusto, while Jiang Yan was relatively restrained.

Jiang Xu was eating and talking non-stop, he was very busy.

"Aunt, where did you buy the yam? It's so soft and chewy."

"I bought it outside today. A lot of people were rushing to grab some. I was lucky enough to get some." Ji Qinglan answered while putting a piece of stewed yam into her son's bowl.

Ji Xincheng buried his head in his meal and ate it with relish.

Jiang Xu believed it and just said that his aunt was very lucky, and kept praising Ji Qinglan's cooking skills.

"The food at my aunt's place is still delicious. The food my sister and I eat at home is terrible. The food my sister cooks is terrible!"

Jiang Yan kicked her brother under the table. What a heartless man! Did she cook all the dishes at home? He didn't eat less, but he got cocky when he came to his aunt.

Ji Qinglan smiled gently. Jiang Xu was exaggerating about the home-cooked dishes. Anyway, both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal.

After lunch, Jiang Xu took the initiative to help clear the table. Seeing this, Jiang Yan also helped to carry the dishes and wipe the table. When they got to the kitchen, Ji Qinglan was washing the dishes, and Jiang Yan actually took the initiative to help clean them.

Ji Qinglan was shocked. When Jiang Yan was in the Honghe Brigade before, she was not so proactive.

Jiang Yan helped wash the dishes and hesitated for a while before speaking in a low voice: "Aunt, Grandpa Li's medicine was very effective last time. Thank Grandpa Li for me."

"Yeah." Ji Qinglan nodded. So this was the reason. She remembered that when Grandpa Li helped Jiang Yan prepare medicine to treat the allergies on her face, she was disgusted and spilled it. Later, Ji Xincheng took her up the mountain to get the medicine re-prepared.

I didn't expect her attitude to change at this moment.

"Is Grandpa Li not at home? I want to thank him in person." Jiang Yan said.

"He's out, and I don't know when he'll be back."

"Oh." Jiang Yan was a little disappointed.

The atmosphere was a little silent. Ji Qinglan didn't speak actively, and Jiang Yan was not as talkative as Jiang Xu.

Seeing that Ji Qinglan had almost finished washing the dishes in her basin, Jiang Yan spoke again: "Aunt, I have a friend who has a lot of pimples on her face. Can you ask Grandpa Li to help take a look?"

"We'll have to ask Mr. Li about this. He's not a doctor, and it's not cheap to ask him to prescribe medicine." Ji Qinglan replied, not wanting to agree to it directly.

She invited Mr. Li back to live out his days, not to work, so she would not assign any work to Mr. Li.

Jiang Yan didn't expect Ji Qinglan to refuse like this. She thought Ji Qinglan would agree directly. She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

In the yard, Jiang Xuzheng and Ji Xincheng were having a great time, laughing non-stop.

When the two came out of the kitchen, Jiang Xu expressed his willingness to play the role of a good host and took Ji Xincheng shopping. Ji Qinglan thought that she and her son would live here for a long time in the future, so of course she would not refuse.

Naturally, Jiang Yan followed.

The house became quiet, and no sound from the street could come in at all. Ji Qinglan was alone in the huge house, enjoying the quiet space in the midst of noise.

She was not idle either. She looked around in the kitchen, checking the food Xiao Yi had prepared. There was rice, flour, meat, and eggs. He also added a few fresh vegetables that she had grown this summer. No need to ask, she either bought them from the supply and marketing cooperative or on the black market.

She also took out a pound of soybeans and mung beans and soaked them separately, preparing to grow bean sprouts to eat; this is simple and easy to do, just soak them in water for two days, drain them and pour them into a bamboo steamer, and water them every two days. It is very convenient.

Basically every household will prepare some vegetables, which are a rare change of taste in winter.

She found a hoe in the warehouse, dug out a piece of land in the corner, took out some onion seedlings and planted them, so that in the future, when she cooked dishes or made soups, she would have the aroma of chopped onions.

After she finished her work, she took out the clothes she had taken off yesterday and washed them using hot water from the kitchen coal stove. When she was hanging the clothes to dry, Li Miaofang and the other two came back.

Seeing the three people's happy faces, Ji Qinglan knew that the matter was settled, and hurriedly asked them: "Is the meal finished? There is still food in the kitchen."

Li Miaofang said happily: "We have eaten. We invited Comrade Shen to have lunch at the state-owned restaurant." Then, she hugged Ji Qinglan's face and said excitedly: "Qinglan, we bought a house."

"Really? Where? What are the conditions?" Ji Qinglan asked three questions in a row.

"I bought two houses, both near the University of Science and Technology, three blocks apart."

Shen Chang might have received instructions from Xiao Yi, and he helped to find houses with good conditions and good locations. Li Miaofang looked at several places and was most satisfied with the two places. Both of them had three main rooms with a yard, and coincidentally, they were both habitable. She looked at them and thought they were all good.

It was just difficult to make a decision, so Director Luo said they had two children so they might as well buy both.

Originally, the money from buying the ginseng was unexpected money brought by their daughter. Now that they have bought a house, their responsibility as parents to raise their children is almost half completed.

It’s that simple, all thanks to his little cotton-padded jacket.

When Li Miaofang heard this, she thought it was a great idea. She would have one set for her son and one set for her daughter. They were close to each other, so it would be convenient for them to visit each other in the future, and the relationship between the two siblings would not be unfamiliar.

So, Li Miaofang took out the 4,800 yuan that had not yet warmed up in the morning, and added another 800 yuan. She was quite arrogant when counting the money, which stunned Shen Chang, who thought that Brother Yi's friends were as rich as Brother Yi.

Five thousand and four was the money for buying the house, and two hundred was the fee for asking Shen Chang to help with the arrangements and his hard work. Although they came from a remote place, they were not uncultured people who knew nothing.

When Ji Qinglan heard that the house was priced at two thousand seven, he sighed in his heart. Four years ago, Liang Qian bought a three-room house with a yard for only two thousand. In just four years, the price had increased by seven hundred.

I don’t know how the Liang family is doing after not seeing them for a few years. Ever since Liang Qian went to jail, he ran away to Xiang Lanlan and the news has been cut off. Neither she nor Uncle Peng has deliberately inquired about the Liang family.

Director Luo went to the kitchen to pour some tea. Li Miaofang was still talking non-stop, lamenting the housing prices in Yanjing. They had gone to see a big house like Ji Qinglan's, but the price they asked for was no lower than hers, and some of them were very dilapidated and needed to be renovated.

She felt that she had made the right decision to buy the house, and that its value would surely increase greatly in the future. Even if her two children did not stay in Yanjing to develop, she would get her money back by selling the house in the future, and she would definitely make a profit.

Ji Qinglan sighed. She just advised Li Miaofang to buy a house, but Li Miaofang ended up buying two.
