Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

"Hello there!"

Lu Yingyue shook hands with him, looked at Shen Qiubai curiously, then glanced at Xia Qingqing, and her thoughts were almost written on her face.

She felt that this good-looking man seemed to have some relationship with Sister Qingqing, and the magnetic field between the two was different.

It should be her brother-in-law, right?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yingyue looked at Shen Qiubai more eagerly. He looked good, but she didn't know what his character was like. She would observe him slowly in the future.

Shen Qiubai pretended not to know that the girl was secretly glancing at him, and smiled at Xia Qingqing, "The ginseng is on the way, and my brother wants to meet you, too. Can we go to my house for dinner?"

"Row!"

Xia Qingqing had no objection, she knew that Shen Qiubai had a western-style house with front and back gardens.

"I'll call you when I get there." Shen Qiubai's smile deepened.

He is now 100% sure that Xia Qingqing had the same dream as him, or perhaps the current Xia Qingqing came from that dream.

He had never told anyone that he had a house in Shanghai, not even Tie Niu knew about it. If Xia Qingqing had been thinking normally, she would have asked him where the house was, but she didn't. Instead, she agreed readily.

This means Xia Qingqing knows where his house is.

The girl also knew that he didn't like sweet food.

The joyful Shen Qiubai used a lot of effort to barely maintain his composure, but his upturned lips and gentle and doting eyes made him look very different from before.

Because Shen Qiubai knew that Yang Hongbing was dead.

Geng Xinhua called him yesterday to inform him.

If his health had not improved, Shen Qiubai would have wanted to open a bottle of wine to celebrate. Yang Hongbing was finally dead.

From now on, he could stand beside Xia Qingqing openly without worrying about any criticism.

Xia Qingqing felt the heat in his eyes and her heart beat faster. Shen Qiubai seemed very abnormal today, as if he was drunk.

"you've been drinking?"

Xia Qingqing couldn't help but ask.

"No, didn't you say I can't drink?" Shen Qiubai answered honestly. He actually wanted to have a drink.

"You definitely can't drink alcohol until you get better."

Xia Qingqing's tone was a little fierce. Not only was she not allowed to drink alcohol, but there were also many things she was not allowed to eat, such as seafood, spring bamboo shoots, and goose, which were all irritating foods.

"Okay, I won't drink."

Shen Qiubai was very obedient, and his eyes became even more doting.

Xia Qingqing felt it and her face became hot. She turned her head away, not daring to look him in the face.

The atmosphere between the two of them changed, with a little more ambiguity. Xiao Yingyue ate her fried dough sticks while looking between the two of them, curiosity full in her big eyes.

The door was pushed open heavily, and Tie Niu, who was sweating profusely, rushed in, followed by Xiao Yu, who was also sweating profusely. Xiao Yu's pockets were bulging, and no one knew what was in them.

"What did you go to play? You're all sweaty!"

Xia Qingqing said in a reproachful tone and took out a handkerchief to wipe Xiaoyu's sweat. But after just one wipe, a black and gray streak appeared on the handkerchief.

"Hitting cardboard is fun."

Xiaoyu took out a stack of cardboards from his pocket. Some were newly folded, some had all four corners worn out, and there were also high-end and low-end versions.

The high-end version is folded with calendar paper, and the low-end version is folded with homework paper. The two have different feel and weight. Children all like the one folded with calendar paper, but this type is relatively rare, and most of them are folded with homework paper.

Cardboard

"Brother Tieniu and I won all the games."

Xiaoyu's face was full of pride, and he wanted to give the cardboard he won to Xia Qingqing. In his opinion, these cardboards were his most favorite treasures and he would definitely give them to his sister.

"My little fish is really amazing, you can keep it for your sister!"

Xia Qingqing had no interest in the cardboard at all, but since it was a gift from her brother, she had to praise him. She also wanted to kiss the little guy on the face, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

This child is so dirty that he looks like a harlequin cat.

Xiaoyu happily put away the cardboard. In fact, he was a little reluctant to do so because the cardboard was so fun.

"This is your sister Yingyue."

Xia Qingqing introduced Xiao Yingyue to Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu called her obediently, "Sister Yingyue."

"My dear little fish, this is my gift to you."

Xiao Yingyue noticed that Xiaoyu was different from normal children. She stretched out her hand to shake hands, but retracted it halfway, wiped the oil on her hands on her clothes, and then continued to shake hands.

Then she took out a crumpled ten-dollar bill from her pocket. She wanted to find some red paper to wrap it, but she couldn't find any, so she had to give it to him.

Xiaoyu looked at her sister and didn't dare to take the money.

Xia Qingqing smiled and nodded, and Xiaoyu happily accepted it.

Xiao Yingyue shook hands with Shi Tieniu again. Their thoughts were quite consistent, especially when it came to food. They were like siblings who had been separated for many years. They had so much in common.

"These are spicy, so I put more hot sauce on purpose."

Xiao Yingyue picked out a few strings of red rice cakes and fried dough sticks and spread a thick layer of hot sauce on them. Although they looked spicy, the two of them enjoyed eating them very much, especially Shi Tieniu, who swallowed a fried dough stick in one bite.

“Small fish eat these.”

Xia Qingqing picked some non-spicy ones and gave them to Xiaoyu.

Shen Qiubai only ate a string of fried rice cakes. He had no interest in snacks. This string of fried rice cakes was picked by Xia Qingqing herself, so he ate it.

"Xiaoyu, can I come pick you up in a few days?"

Xia Qingqing discussed with Xiaoyu that she planned to repaint the Yang family's house white, which would take about ten days, and she would have to continue living with Shen Qiubai.

"Is Brother Tieniu going to live there too?"

Xiaoyu is reluctant to leave Shi Tieniu, but he also wants to live with his sister. It would be best if they could live together.

"Brother Tie Niu will take care of your brother Shen. You can come and play with him often." Xia Qingqing said softly.

"Sister Qingqing, can Xiaoyu live here?"

Shi Tieniu also couldn't bear to part with the little fish.

Xiaoyu also looked at her eagerly, hoping that Xia Qingqing would agree.

"I'll just stay here for the time being."

Xia Qingqing agreed. She was indeed a bit busy during this period, and Xiaoyu was well taken care of by Tieniu. He had gained at least 20 kilograms and became much more cheerful, much better than she had taken care of him.

Tieniu and Xiaoyu cheered. They wolfed down their food, wiped their mouths casually, and went out to play with cardboard again. Before leaving, Shi Tieniu did not forget to remind Shen Qiubai to drink water.

Ever since he knew there was hope for his health to recover, Shen Qiubai has been drinking water consciously without anyone urging him.

Xia Qingqing also said goodbye as she had to go to the bank to withdraw money.

"Yang Guozhu has brothers and nephews in his hometown, none of them are easy to get along with. They haven't received the news yet, so you have to hurry!" Shen Qiubai reminded.

He had met Yang Guozhu's relatives from his hometown. All the members of the Yang family were of the same character, greedy, cruel and immoral. Yang Guozhu had a falling out with his relatives from his hometown and they hardly had any contact with each other, but sooner or later these people would know that the Yang family was extinct, and they would definitely not let go of the Yang family's property.

"I understand. I'll go find the street this afternoon."

Xia Qingqing's expression turned serious. She had never seen these relatives in her previous life, but Shen Qiubai would definitely not do anything without a purpose. The transfer procedures must be completed as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.

"There is Director Peng in the Housing Management Office. You can go find him." Shen Qiubai said.

"Row."

Xia Qingqing was not polite and did not ask about his relationship with Director Peng. Shen Qiubai would not say anything that he was not sure about. Since he mentioned Director Peng, he must have made all the connections.

Both of them spoke concisely, but they had a tacit understanding, as if they had been good friends for many years.

Xia Qingqing dragged Xiao Yingyue out of the office and closed the door. It was already past noon, so they had to hurry to the bank.

"Sister Qingqing, are you and Director Shen dating?"

Xiao Yingyue couldn't help but ask.

Xia Qingqing, who was walking, was so scared that she almost fell down. Then she covered the girl's mouth, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no one there.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Director Shen and I are friends. If someone hears this, we'll be in trouble."

Xia Qingqing herself didn't care, but she was afraid of bringing trouble to Shen Qiubai. The lifestyle of leading cadres was now strictly enforced, and any small matter would lead to an investigation from above.

"What kind of trouble can it be? Director Shen doesn't have a wife." Xiao Yingyue pried her hands apart, thinking that she was making a fuss out of nothing.

"Your sister..."

Xia Qingqing originally wanted to say that she had a man, but then she remembered that Yang Hongbing was dead, and she couldn't help choking.

It seems so~~there is really no problem!

She is a widow and Shen Qiubai is a bachelor. A widow and a bachelor, they are a match made in heaven!

"Sister Qingqing, isn't your husband dead? Anyway, I think Director Shen definitely likes you. He looks at you with fiery eyes. There is only you in his eyes, no room for anyone else. I am such a big person, but he doesn't even look at me!"

Xiao Yingyue pointed to the urn in the basket with a firm tone.

Her feeling must be right.

and--

"The way you talk to Director Shen feels like an old married couple. If someone doesn't know you, they would think you have been together for many years!"

Xia Qingqing's face changed and her heart beat faster.

In her previous life, she and Shen Qiubai had known each other for fifteen years!

Was Shen Qiubai really also reborn?

Xia Qingqing's heart was in turmoil and her mind was confused. She smiled one moment, frowned the next, then became worried, and soon turned shy... Xiao Yingyue frowned at this.

Dating is so troublesome!

Xiao Yingyue shook her head. Even someone as smart as Sister Qingqing would become stupid after falling in love. She was stupid to begin with, so she'd better not fall in love. Food was much more interesting than men.

"Sister Qingqing!"

A shrill and sorrowful voice suddenly sounded, and Xia Qingqing, whose confused thoughts were frightened, was completely awakened.

The one running over was Meng Jie. His chubby face had shrunk a lot and his double chin had turned into a pointed chin. After not seeing him for a month, this little fat guy had lost a lot of weight.

"Sister Qingqing, you are finally here!"

When Meng Jie saw her, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then burst into tears, crying breathlessly, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Four more boys came running over, stood in a row with Meng Jie, and cried in unison.

Several people passing by, wearing work clothes from the gear hobbing machine factory, gathered around, thinking that Xia Qingqing was bullying the child.

"Meng Jie, who bullied you?"

A roar as loud as a bell was heard, and a burly man came over. It was none other than Director Meng, the fat boy's father.

Director Meng patted his son on the back of his head and said in dissatisfaction: "Why are you crying? You are just a woman. Shut up your tears!"

He originally thought someone was bullying his son, but when he came over to take a look, he saw it was Xia Qingqing and another pretty girl with thin arms and legs. It was good that they were not bullied by his son.

Meng Jie felt extremely aggrieved. Tears were not like a faucet that could be turned on and off at will. His father always said things that he could never do.

such as--

"If you don't get 100 points in the next exam, I'll break your legs!"

This is what his father said the most. Meng Jie felt that his father might as well just break his legs. He would never be able to get a perfect score in his lifetime anyway. Even getting half of a perfect score would be difficult for him. Before his father said this, he didn't even know to go and pray to his grandfather, asking him to bless his mother to give birth to another brother or sister. Maybe this goal could be achieved.

"Director Meng, the meeting is about to start!"

Someone called out, and Director Meng smiled at Xia Qingqing and the others, patted his son on the shoulder, and trotted away.

Meng Jie wrinkled his face and looked at Xia Qingqing sadly, as if he was looking at a heartless man.

The other four boys had the same look.

Xia Qingqing was confused by their stares and glared at them. These bastards didn't want to live anymore!

"Sister Qingqing, you said you would release my fatal acupoint in a month, but it's already been two months. We are definitely going to die. I haven't been able to breathe every night recently!" Meng Jie made a bitter face and tears were about to flow again.

"My heart hurts!"

“My stomach hurts!”

"I have a headache!"

"My butt hurts!"

The other four boys were not in good condition. They were listless and had lost a lot of weight. They no longer had the vitality of youth.

Xia Qingqing's eyes flickered and she turned her head away guiltily. She had forgotten about the fatal point.

No wonder the little fat kids have become slim!

I’m afraid you’ve lost your appetite and can’t sleep at night this month?

"It's only one month. You won't die. This is the test I set for you. You all persevered and opened up your Ren and Du meridians. From now on, whether you study or practice martial arts, you will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

Xia Qingqing quickly explained it back. All her words were lies, but the five boys who were fans of martial arts believed it without a doubt. Their depressed faces immediately turned into ecstasy.

"Sister Qingqing, will I be able to get a perfect score in the next exam?" Meng Jie.

"Can I learn the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?"

"I want to learn the Nine Yang Manual!"

“I want to be a pilot!”

"I want to be a general!"

The five boys all have lofty ideals, except for the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Nine Yang Manual.

"As long as you work hard, all your wishes will come true. Even genius needs sweat!"

Xia Qingqing talked calmly, and the five boys nodded excitedly. They would go back to study hard.

"No matter what you want to do, learning comes first. If you don't study well, you won't be able to learn anything. You can't even understand the martial arts secrets. Let's go!"

Xia Qingqing reminded them again that although these five boys had bullied Xiaoyu in the past, they had been very caring towards Xiaoyu and behaved very well during this period, so all the past events were forgiven.

Then, she casually patted the five boys on the back a few times, indicating that the weak points had been resolved.

The five boys all felt a stream of fresh air, spreading from the bottom to the top, all over their bodies, as if they had been enlightened. They immediately felt refreshed, their ears and ears were refreshed, and their turbid minds became extremely clear.

They are now full of wisdom and strength and can finish ten papers in one go.

"I'm going home to do my homework!"

The five boys have never loved studying so much. They are now geniuses who have opened up their Ren and Du meridians. What does a little study mean to them? Their goal is the stars and the sea!
