Chapter 1512 Adopted Daughter 48

"First year of high school."

"Hey, you're only in the first year of high school?"

"Why, do you think I look old?"

"No, I didn't mean that, little girl, don't get me wrong."

Yuanchun didn't misunderstand at all. He was clearly asking why she was only in the first year of high school.

It's just that he thinks she's too old.

Xiang Yi smiled and said, "Comrade Song, Zuo Qing speaks frankly, don't take it to heart, you are still a little girl, if you are old, then we will be even older."

"Little girl, I'm the one who can't speak." Zuo Qing dug into his pocket, "I'll treat you to some fruit candy."

Hand her a candy ticket.

Yuanchun was confused. If I invited her to eat candy, I would just give her candy tickets?

Should she say he was generous or straightforward?

Xiang Yi held his forehead with his hand, "Comrade Song, please accept it. This is not the first time he has paid for your meal."

Teacher Bai covered his mouth and laughed, "Oh, Zuo Qing is quite generous. These candy coupons are in short supply. Yuanchun girl, please accept them. We will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy fruit candies this afternoon."

Song Yuanchun smiled and said, "In that case, I will accept Comrade Zuo Qing's kindness."

I took the sugar ticket and took a look. It was half a pound.

On the way to school, Teacher Bai was full of praise, "These two guys are really nice, generous, and good-looking. I heard from your master that they have a good family background and hold official positions in the ministry."

When they got off their bikes at school, Teacher Bai looked at Yuanchun and said, "You can't take the college entrance exam now. You will graduate from high school in a year. Yuanchun, have you thought about what you will do after graduation?"

Teacher Bai is one of the few people who knows that Yuanchun sold the job in the shoe factory left by her mother.

Teacher Bai is very worried about her. She is about to graduate from high school. What if this child can't find a job?

Although, she is the orphan of a martyr and does not need to go to the countryside, but what if?

Once this person goes to the countryside, he can't come back.

Yuanchun shook his head in bewilderment, "Teacher, I'm only in the first year of high school, and I still have a year and a half before graduation. I can look for a job slowly, and I'll find one eventually."

That being said, everyone knows how hard it is to find a job.

The next day, Teacher Bai asked for leave in the afternoon and did not come to school.

After school in the afternoon, Yuanchun went home alone.

This was the first time she went home alone since she got Teacher Bai's car. She walked not far from the entrance of the alley when suddenly, a person jumped down from the wall of a house.

Yuanchun subconsciously wanted to scream, but someone covered her mouth, "Comrade Song, don't scream, it's me."

The voice sounded familiar, as if it was Comrade Xiang Yi whom I had just met yesterday.

Yuanchun nodded slightly and loosened her hand from her mouth.

She immediately looked at Xiang Yi, who apologized softly, "I'm sorry, I... I didn't know you were just outside the courtyard wall, I..."

"He ran away from here, chase him quickly."

Suddenly, an angry voice came from inside the courtyard wall.

Xiang Yi pulled Yuanchun to run, but Yuanchun held him back and said, "My home is just ahead. Let's hide there."

Pulling him, they moved forward quickly. Just as they entered the yard and closed the gate gently, the door of that family was opened and four or five young men walked out.

They looked around vigilantly, but found nothing unusual, so they split up and chased at both ends of the alley.

Yuanchun and Xiang Yi, with their backs against the gate, heard the footsteps gradually fading away, and then they slid down to sit on the ground.

Yuanchun said, "Comrade Xiang Yi, I won't ask you what you are doing at that house. Just stay at my house for a while, and when they calm down, you can go out again." After a while, the group of people ran back to the alley and wandered around for two circles. When they met residents who lived nearby after get off work or school, they would stare at them for a long time with their eyes like searchlights.

When they meet strangers, they will stop the other person and ask about his or her ancestors.

These are people from certain organizations. They are rampant in the county and no one dares to mess with them. When people see them, they are scared and stay away from them.

Yuanchun released her mental power to monitor them. Seeing that they didn't pay much attention to her family, she invited Xiang Yi into the house for tea.

After introducing Comrade Xiang Yi to her cousin and her wife, she asked her cousin to cook two more dishes as she wanted to keep Comrade Xiang Yi at home for dinner.

Then he told his cousin's wife, "Cousin, there is an autumn watermelon in the backyard. I think it is almost ripe. Go pick it and we can eat it."

"Cousin, I washed a basket of small tomatoes. Do you want to eat some?"

"Eat, put a plate on it."

"okay."

My cousin's wife brought a plate of small persimmons and placed it on the table. "Comrade Xiang, these small persimmons are a new variety. They are very sweet. You should try them."

"Thank you, Comrade Li."

"You're welcome. You're my cousin's friend, so you're family."

Li Yufei put down the small tomatoes and went to the backyard to pick a big watermelon. After a while, she brought in a plate of cut watermelons.

"Comrade Xiang Yi, you are eating watermelon. This is autumn watermelon, and it is also a new variety."

They are all new varieties developed by Li Chunlan.

Whether it is a small tomato or a watermelon, they are all better than ordinary ones. They are sweet, crisp and rich in flavor.

Xiang Yi looked at the little woman who was lazily eating persimmons and asked curiously, "Comrade Song, were these new varieties of persimmons and watermelons developed by your family?"

"Yes, my cousin researched it. She has nothing to do at home, so she studies the food grown in the fields all day long." Yuanchun took a piece of watermelon and ate it. "This is the first time I have eaten this new variety of watermelon. It is crisp and refreshing, and sweet enough. It tastes really good."

After a pause, he said with regret, "It's a pity that I planted too few. I planted ten seeds, but only three seedlings grew. Only one survived and grew into this watermelon."

Xiang Yi smiled, "Then I am in for a treat."

"No, it's just that I like the clothes you're wearing, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to cut watermelon for you to eat."

Xiang Yi ate two pieces and was about to take the third piece when Yuanchun spoke again, "Eat less and save some room for dinner. My cousin's cooking is delicious. It's even better than Master Yuan's."

Xiang Yi put down the watermelon he had just picked up and said with a smile, "It seems that I really need to save some space to taste your cousin's cooking."

"Yeah, if you miss this village, you will miss this temple."

In the evening, Li Chunlan made spicy fish offal, big plate chicken, minced meat and beans, garlic-stirred vegetables, a plate of spicy cabbage, a plate of sweet and sour garlic, and cut a few salted duck eggs.

A table full.

The staple food is rice.

More rice, less millet.

Yuanchun placed a full bowl of rice in front of Xiang Yi, poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "Comrade Xiang Yi, there is no wine in my house. Let me pour you a cup of tea."

Xiang Yi was already stunned by the huge table of food.

In this era, it is not an ordinary family that can easily prepare three or four meat dishes. Even his family, a high-ranking official family in the imperial capital, may not be able to make them at any time.

Moreover, Song Yuanchun's attitude towards her cousins-in-law was that although he called them elders, the lazy and commanding tone he used definitely showed that he was not talking to elders, but to servants.
