Chapter 146 You're so kind?
"Dad, Mom, I plan to move to the county after the holiday!"
After returning home and having dinner, Qiao Manman brought up the topic with her parents.
The two paused for a few seconds, then nodded: "That's fine, it saves us from having to run around every day, it's tiring."
The weather is getting colder, and it's not safe to travel in the dark.
Qiao Manman took out two packs of mooncakes, a bunch of grapes, two peaches, six apples, and a bunch of bananas from her canvas bag.
He asked, "Dad, Mom, would you like to offer some prayers? I have all the necessary equipment here!"
She knew that people should worship the moon and pray for blessings during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, Qiao Runming and He Nian weren't that bold. They put their hands together, bowed to the moon, and that was it for the festival.
The three of them sat together in the courtyard, eating mooncakes and chatting, feeling that life was becoming more and more promising.
As night deepened, Qiao Manman instructed the system to amplify the surrounding signals.
After confirming that everyone within a few hundred meters was asleep, he climbed over the wall and went to the cowshed to offer some warmth to the bigwigs who were impacted by the times.
Mooncakes, rice, brown sugar, and salt—not many in quantity, but all of them were good things.
Then she went back to her room to continue sleeping, completely unaware that five minutes after she left, Song Xulan came out of the room to get up in the middle of the night. When she saw the supplies, her heart was filled with excitement and her hands trembled.
"What's wrong? You came back so late after taking a leak?" Wendelin rolled over and muttered.
Song Xulan brought the things in, closed the door, and then kicked the person awake: "That girl brought us food again!"
Upon hearing there was food, Wendelin sat up abruptly, rubbing his sleepy eyes: "What is it?"
Song Xulan, standing outside, saw clearly by the moonlight and said with a smile, "There are mooncakes and white rice too!"
Wendelin's mind instantly cleared: "Huh, mooncakes?"
Ever since he was sent down to the countryside, this thing has been "back in the day." Wen Delin rubbed his hands excitedly and carefully picked up a piece of mooncake and put it in his mouth.
The sweet and soft taste brought tears to his eyes.
Song Xulan was also a little sad, but she still patted his back gently: "You see, there are still many people supporting us."
Dawn will break soon!
Wendelin nodded: "You're right!"
The night passed and dawn came.
Qiao Manman went for a stroll in the village and unexpectedly ran into Zhao Zhaodi.
Zhao Zhaodi's expression was not as flamboyant as before, and she was even wearing a slightly worn plaid shirt.
Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow: "Did you go to the mountains? Or did your family take all your money?"
The system shook its head: "I know nothing about it!"
Qiao Manman advised Xiao Tongzi: "People have to keep a low profile. Otherwise, they'll easily attract attention!"
Just like Zhao Zhaodi, she spotted the problem at a glance.
The system contradicted itself: "So, host, why did you use the Renewal Charm on your very first day here?"
Qiao Manman touched her nose: "No, I just wanted to deal with Zhao Dahu as soon as possible!"
As for Lu Yuan, humph, do you think others will believe him just because he says so? These days, feudal superstitions are not allowed!
The system reluctantly accepted Qiao Manman's suggestion, and then the host took out two strawberry-flavored hard candies from her space.
"Zhao Di, it's been a while. What have you been up to lately? Why aren't you wearing your dress anymore?"
"It's autumn now, it's cold to wear this." Zhao Zhaodi was in a bad mood and didn't really want to talk to Qiao Manman.
Qiao Manman didn't mind and took out some strawberry candy from her pocket: "Here, this is a Mid-Autumn Festival perk, have a taste."
Zhao Zhaodi glanced at her suspiciously: "You'd be that kind?"
"Look at what you're saying, we don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other. At most, we'll have a little argument, but you won't hold a grudge for a lifetime!"
Zhao Zhaodi thought about it and agreed. She took the candy and put it in her mouth, only to be surprised to find that it wasn't salty.
Why? Why isn't the candy Qiao Manman gave me salty? What happened to the candy she ate earlier...?
Qin Youbin, who is planting trees in the far northwest, said that stealing a piece of candy is not easy, and he will suck on it when he is craving it.
If you slurp it a couple of times, it'll get too salty.
Qiao Manman looked at Zhao Zhaodi with a half-smile: "Is it sweet?"
Zhao Zhaodi's fingers tightened, and she softly hummed in agreement. Jealousy burned in her heart, and she almost couldn't hold back her emotions.
"Well, you're busy, I'm going to take a stroll over there."
After saying this, he left and went to Qiao Haoyang and Qiao Chengping, giving the two brothers two mooncakes.
"Eat up, don't take it back. Otherwise, if you share it with everyone, you'll only get a scrap!"
Qiao Haoyang nodded, finished the mooncake in a few bites, and asked, "Sis, are you on good terms with that girl from earlier?"
"No, we're just from the same village. I'll offer her a piece of candy."
Qiao Manman chuckled: "Don't let her skinny appearance fool you, she's ruthless. You two should keep your distance."
Qiao Haoyang nodded, picked up the kettle, and took a sip of water.
Qiao Chengping glanced around and lowered his voice, saying, "Sister Manman, Ding Cuiying asked us about Qiao Zhicheng a couple of days ago!"
Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"
Ding Cuiying's ankle was broken, her house was robbed, and she lost everything.
But life had to go on. The family bought some grain on credit from the production team, which was enough to barely fill their stomachs.
They reluctantly went to work every day, just so they could get a little more food during the autumn harvest.
Some time ago, Ding Cuiying heard that two educated youths surnamed Qiao had come to the team and had a good relationship with Qiao Runming, so she suspected that they were people from Suzhou.
But why didn't those two come to visit her? She clearly visited Suzhou City several times in her younger years!
Qiao Lao Er and Qiao Lao Si came to test the waters, but Qiao Haoyang and Qiao Chengping had never met these two distant uncles and flatly denied any relationship between the two families.
It wasn't until Ding Cuiying was able to go out after recovering and was carried by her two sons to the vicinity of the educated youth settlement that Qiao Haoyang had no choice but to come out and deal with them.
"Yangyang, it really is you!"
Qiao Haoyang trembled when he heard the other person call him by his nickname.
He awkwardly laughed and called out, "Grandma Cuiying!"
"Oh, oh, I knew it was you guys! Didn't you have work? Why are you here in the countryside? Did something happen at home?"
Ding Cuiying immediately became nervous.
Qiao Haoyang immediately reassured him: "No, no, it's just that there are too many children in the family, and they all have jobs, so they've been targeted."
My dad said that since Chengping and I are both single, we might as well go to the countryside for a few years to gain experience. When we come back, we can use that experience to our advantage and maybe get a promotion or something.
Ding Cuiying breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew it. With your grandfather's abilities, how could he let you suffer in the countryside?"
"What about your third uncle? Has he become the factory director or manager yet?"
"Third Uncle?" Qiao Haoyang chuckled. "He's great. He's very conscientious and took the initiative to send his two cousins to the countryside. He also takes special care of my grandparents!"
Ding Cuiying showed no displeasure upon hearing this.
He curled his lip and said, "Those two girls are useful because they can pave the way for Zhicheng."
Your grandparents are getting old; Zhicheng should be there to take good care of them.
As you serve each other, your relationship will naturally become closer.
At that time, wouldn't all the assets of the Qiao and Tao families belong to her biological son?
Ding Cuiying was lost in her sweet dreams, completely unaware of the mockery in Qiao Haoyang's eyes.
"Let's go to Grandma Cuiying's house for dinner!" Ding Cuiying was in a good mood and took the initiative to invite the two children to come over.
Although the family had nothing, could the child raised by Tao Yingzhen go there empty-handed?
