Rebirth Autumn Returns to the Countryside

"No need, just stick with the original plan."

"Then be careful on your way here. The snow is slippery, so drive slowly and try not to brake, especially when turning."

Director Leng is getting more and more nagging now. He should be less than 40 years old, right? Leng Yanqiu agreed with a "hmm", and saw Ding Guihua standing at the door wearing the black down long coat she wore when she first met yesterday.

After waking up from a nap, I felt awkward meeting someone again.

Leng Yanqiu put down his phone, found a large packaging bag from the cabinet, and handed it to Ding Guihua: "This is the little cotton-padded jacket I bought before, it's blue, you should be able to wear it, put it on, and it will be convenient for you to move around at home."

She was addicted to online shopping during that period, as she found it convenient. She bought both large and small cotton-padded jackets, but she mainly wore school uniforms to school, so she didn't even take the tag off this one when she bought it, and it was still brand new.

Ding Guihua felt even more ashamed. She was supposed to take care of her daughter, but she woke up so late. The smell of rice wafted from the back room. How could she wear her daughter's clothes?

"No need to change, I always wear this at home, it's warm." Ding Guihua waved her hands and hurried to the back room, "Xiao Qiu, put on more clothes, don't just wait until the snow stops falling, it will be cold when the snow melts."

Leng Yanqiu put the bag on the eight-immortals table and took out two new sweaters. She chose both gray and black, which were perfect as gifts for Ding Guihua.

The breakfast she prepared was as simple as usual, but with more items: millet porridge, boiled eggs, frozen steamed buns, small bags of shredded pickled mustard tubers, and small bags of diced radish.

There were fresh vegetables too, freshly picked, roots of wheat, chunks of green onion, and leaves of lettuce, all placed next to a dish of fermented black bean paste.

This is the highest level of VIP treatment.

There is no place for Ding Guihua to use her abilities anymore.

"Eat quickly, I have to go to the police station at ten o'clock." Leng Yanqiu handed the chopsticks to Ding Guihua and said.

"Police station?" Ding Guihua was shocked. How could an ordinary person go to the police station? And he said it so casually, as if he was going out shopping. "Did he have a fight with his classmates? Did he hit you?"

She couldn't hold the chopsticks in her hand anymore and was shaking. She stood up and bent down, wanting to get closer to see if Leng Yanqiu was injured.

"It wasn't a fight." Leng Yanqiu stretched out a hand and pressed Ding Guihua down across the small dining table. "Don't worry, I wasn't beaten. When I went to the police station, I signed an agreement not to pursue other people's responsibility and to accept apologies and compensation."

Having become familiar with Director Leng, he understood Leng Yanqiu's nature of not wanting trouble. She didn't cry, make a fuss, fight or scold, and didn't like to pursue responsibility for others. She just wanted compensation.

Ding Guihua has also worked in big cities and has a lot of experience.

"Xiao Qiu, you have to tell me, where are you hurt? If you haven't suffered any loss, how can others compensate you?"

There's nothing wrong with this logic.

Leng Yanqiu's expression remained unchanged. He passed a steamed bun to Ding Guihua and started eating it himself.

She didn't explain. Ding Guihua was like an ant on hot pot, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The mother and daughter finished their breakfast quietly. Ding Guihua cleared the dishes and stood in front of her daughter to ask, "Can I go to the police station with you?"

Leng Yanqiu raised his eyes and Ding Guihua stretched out her sleeves awkwardly.

"No, the terms have been agreed upon. I'll go over and sign and come back. You wait for me at home."

"I--" Ding Guihua didn't say anything else in the end.

She didn't know what to do. When Leng Yanqiu walked out, she rushed to push the tricycle and almost fell down.

"Don't worry about pushing the cart. I'll go pick some vegetables first." Leng Yanqiu held her arm. "There will be a friend coming to pick vegetables tonight. His last name is Wang. He drives a gray van. You can do whatever you want with him. We have a good relationship."

"Okay." Ding Guihua stopped and followed Leng Yanqiu to pick vegetables together.

"Can all these be sold? Will I lose money?"

"Well, I won't compensate you. I picked these and sent them to the police station. They took good care of me." Leng Yanqiu explained, "Would you like to pick some too? The vegetables I grow are delicious and you can't get them anywhere else."

"No, no, we have some at home." Ding Guihua still refused. "The police at the police station are also taking care of you. You should pick more. Thank them."

She didn't dare to ask why her daughter was being taken care of by the police station and had become so familiar with them.

But she is also happy because her daughter is better than her. She has grown up and has friends who she gets along well with and trusts.

"You see, I live a good life. No one can wrong me, and I am not short of money." Leng Yanqiu carried two large bags of vegetables and stood in the warm greenhouse, stretching his arms. "The most important thing is that I have the strength and courage to knock down those who want to bully me."

Indeed, the most critical.

Not only can it knock someone down, it can also cripple them.

"So, most of the stories you heard are true. I was the one who broke Leng Zhiqiang's leg." The mother and daughter walked through the green vegetable patch. Leng Yanqiu promised seriously, "If you are wronged in the future, call me and I will call you back."

The door of the greenhouse was closed and Ding Guihua stayed inside. After a long time, she walked out of the yard and looked west. There was vast snow and no trace of the tricycle.

The burden in my chest and the pain in my legs were all washed away along with the raging tears on this day of reunion after a long separation.

"Swish, swish, swish", Ding Guihua wrapped herself tightly and began to sweep the snow, inside and outside the yard, all the way to the first neighbor's house in the west.

She was full of energy. She looked around and saw that there was no one around. She couldn't help but continue looking forward. These were the roads her daughter would take, and the tire tracks of the tricycles looked familiar.

Brother Wang’s van turned the corner. It was gray, no doubt about it.

Ding Guihua dragged a big broom to the gate of the courtyard and called out, "You are Xiaoqiu's brother Wang, right? It's cold, come in and warm up."

"Are you Xiaoqiu's mother? Her biological mother?" Brother Wang jumped out of the car, but felt it was inappropriate to ask, so he smiled awkwardly.

"Yes, dear." Ding Guihua answered quite proudly. She was not bad at diplomacy. "Thank you and her sister-in-law for taking her to do business and taking care of her in every way."

Brother Wang was happy: "How can we take care of her? Xiaoqiu grows vegetables and fruits well, and I sell them all. She helps me make money. My wife can't live without eating our food every day, and she gets along very well with Xiaoqiu. To be honest, my husband and I both treat Xiaoqiu as our own sister. If Xiaoqiu didn't find it troublesome, we would have held a formal recognition ceremony a long time ago."

"Okay, that's good." Ding Guihua wanted to cry again, but she held it back. This was a happy thing.

"Aunt, don't be polite with me. People in the city are waiting for vegetables. The more it snows, the higher the price will be. I have to hurry up." Brother Wang refused to go into the house to drink water and went straight to the greenhouse.

Ding Guihua followed closely. She had been doing farm work before going out to work, and was very skilled in helping to pick vegetables.

You can also listen to Brother Wang talk more about his daughter. If you don’t dare to ask your daughter, you can ask others.
