Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

Before leaving, Xiao Qing took out a red envelope and handed it to Ji Qinglan, saying, "Your brother-in-law and I can't come to your wedding next month. Ayi is also busy with military affairs, so you have to take care of everything. This money is a little gift from your brother-in-law and me."

Xiao Qing felt quite embarrassed as she spoke. An elder sister is like a mother, and her younger brother's marriage would end up being left to the future sister-in-law to take care of everything on her own.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yi was still busy with the troop formations.

Ji Qinglan took the thick red envelope and pushed it back, saying, "Big sister, we don't need anything, you can take back the money."

Who could be as rich as her? Moreover, in Ji Qinglan's understanding, Xiao Qing and his wife were just ordinary workers who had to raise three children. Living in Yanjing was not easy, and their life must be tight.

Xiao Qing put the money in Ji Qinglan's hand again, holding her hand tightly, and said without letting her refuse: "This is a wedding gift, there is no reason to take it back. Don't worry, our Xiao family is a well-established family."

Feeling Xiao Qing's acceptance of her, Ji Qinglan did not delay any longer and accepted the red envelope.

"The next time we meet will be in Yanjing. When you return to Yanjing, we will hold another wedding. I will then introduce you to the Xiao family's relatives and friends. The children all want to meet you."

"See you in Yanjing." Ji Qinglan nodded with a smile.

Xiao Qing patted Ji Xincheng's little head gently and said in a gentle voice: "Our Xincheng is a little man, help mom with the housework, let's meet in Yanjing, okay? Aunt will miss you."

Ji Xincheng nodded obediently: "Goodbye, auntie, and have a safe journey."

Xiao Yi had already taken out Xiao Qing's two boxes and was waiting on the side. Xiao Qing came with two boxes, one box was her own luggage, and the other box was gifts prepared for Ji Qinglan and her son.

When he went back now, there were still two boxes, but the gifts had become specialties prepared by Ji Qinglan.

Outside the village, Ji Qinglan held her son's hand and watched the car go away. She then opened the red envelope, which contained a large stack of big unity notes and many bills.

Ji Qinglan counted and found that there were exactly one thousand yuan.

Ji Xincheng raised his head and said, "Mom, I'm going to Grandpa Li's place."

"I'll take you there." Ji Qinglan stuffed the money and tickets back into the red envelope, put it in his pocket, and took Ji Xincheng's hand towards the cowshed.

Grandpa Li is now turning over and drying herbs. There is a bamboo rack on the grass outside the cowshed, with three winnowing baskets on it. They are full of herbs drying in the sun. Some of the herbs are tied into small bundles and placed randomly on the bamboo poles.

At this moment, Mr. Li was taking care of the bundled herbs, turning them over to expose the inside.

Seeing the two people coming over, he asked calmly: "Has the person left?"

"The four o'clock train."

Ji Qinglan nodded and went forward to help. A foul smell hit her nose. It was the smell of these herbs. She was not prepared to be attacked by these herbs and almost vomited.

Ji Xincheng had already retreated three steps away, covering his nose with one hand and fanning himself with the other.

"Master Li, you went to cut the stinking peonies again."

Mr. Li said unhappily, "This medicine can detoxify, reduce swelling, eliminate rheumatism, and lower blood pressure. It can treat carbuncle, furuncle, back rashes, breast carbuncle, hemorrhoids, eczema, erysipelas, rheumatism, and hypertension. You are so disgusted with such a good herb."

Stinking peony is a shrub of the genus Asteraceae in the family Lamiaceae. It has a foul smell. When in bloom, the corolla is beautiful and comes in a variety of colors, including light, red and purple.

Because its corolla is spherical and looks like gorgeous peonies from a distance, it is also called stinking peony.

It has low requirements for soil and grows in many places in the countryside, some even in front of and behind houses. However, most people dislike it because of its bad smell. Except for children who like to pick flowers to play with, adults prefer to eradicate it.

Few people actually know that it is a herbal medicine.

Ji Xincheng knew practical matters, so he quickly stepped forward to help, saying flatteringly, "How could I not have any? Grandpa Li, you misunderstood. What I meant was why didn't you wait for me? Let's go dig together. I remember there were a lot of them behind Sister Chunju's house."

Old Master Li glanced at Ji Xincheng, who was a smooth talker. He didn't even know what he was doing, but unfortunately, even if the abacus beads fell to the sky, he would not be moved.

"You have this awareness, I am very happy, we will go and dig it back later."

Ji Xincheng's hands froze, as if he had dug a hole and buried himself.

After the baptism, Ji Qinglan's nose has adapted to it, and he can actually turn over and dry these stinking peonies without changing his expression.

The success made the smart Ji Xincheng feel like he had lost his parents. Mr. Li felt satisfied and started talking about Xiao Yi again.

"Did you ask where Sister Xiao works? I saw her demeanor and expression yesterday and she didn't look like an ordinary person."

Ji Qinglan was confused, and then he thought of the scene where Xiao Qing and Chief Sun were talking together yesterday, and his heart began to beat fast.

"I didn't ask. You know, I don't really care about these things. I didn't even ask which unit Xiao Yi was in."

Elder Li was speechless. He didn't know what was going on in this girl Ji's mind. Xiao Yi had been pursuing her for three years, but she didn't even know which unit he belonged to.

"You, you will be sold by Xiao Yi sooner or later, and you are still helping to count the money." Old Master Li hung the turned-over stinking peony back on the bamboo pole.

Just marry yourself like this.

Ji Qinglan shook his head hastily and said seriously, "That's not the case. It's just that his job is special and involves too many confidential information. I won't ask about it."

"Xiao Yi is indeed a good person, with impeccable talent and appearance. Oh! It's this job..."

Mr. Li doesn't have any sense of xx glory, he just seriously considers Ji Qinglan's future.

Every mission Xiao Yi goes on is not easy, and there are often gunfire and hail of bullets. He is worried that Xiao Yi will come back in a rage one day.

Ji Yatou's parents are like this.

Oh! I am worried too!

Ji Qinglan comforted him, "Don't worry about this old man. Xiao Yi will be transferred back to Yanjing soon and will stay in Yanjing to work in the future."

Mr. Li paused, exclaimed, and said jokingly, "This is a promotion!"

"I guess so!" Although she didn't ask about Xiao Yi's work, Ji Qinglan still knew a little about it. It's not like she really didn't understand it at all.

Mr. Li breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, but I think the Xiao family is of high status. Don't think that the times are different now, but those families are most particular about matching each other."

"You have no father or mother, and no brothers to support the family. You will definitely suffer when you marry into the family."

Ji Qinglan looked at Mr. Li in surprise, not understanding why he had such an idea. She would not allow herself to be bullied again.

Moreover, Xiao Yi never told her what kind of family background the Xiao family had or what position Xiao Qing held.

Old Master Li was still unaware, his eyes fixed on the work in his hands, his mouth never stopping, and he ordered Ji Xincheng to collect the herbs on the dustpan, then continued: "But you don't have to worry, if Xiao Yi dares to betray you, tell me and I will deal with him. In our line of work, there are many ways to deal with people."
