Chapter 520 Goodbye Little Snowflake
It was after ten o'clock the next day when Jiang Yanqiu and the others went to Gu Qingqing's house carrying some fruits.
Gu Qingqing and her family had moved out of the compound a long time ago. The house was previously used for making clothes, but was later "raided".
She bought a better house, moved out of there, and rented out her original house.
The house we live in now was bought later. It is a large three-story courtyard and is much more magnificent than the previous one.
The front and back yards were also rented out, so the two of them lived in the middle yard.
As soon as they met, Gu Qingqing exclaimed: "I didn't pay enough attention the day before yesterday, and today I found that you have lost weight again. Your face is as small as a palm."
Jiang Yanqiu said with a smile: "You must be nearsighted. You should read less. Where is your kitchen? Let's go and help wash the vegetables."
But Jiang Yanqiu has indeed lost weight. It is not easy for her to gain weight with her physique. She loses weight very quickly with a little effort.
As some people in later generations said, it is easy to lose weight but difficult to gain weight.
Gu Qingqing laughed and said, "We don't have to do it ourselves. Let's just have fun today. We've been doing it ourselves for so many years, it's time to take a break."
Now many families are looking for nannies, either this relative or that relative, but in fact they are nannies.
Gu Qingqing invited everyone to dinner. Their cooking skills were not very good, and they didn't want to let everyone work hard, so they asked someone to do it.
Following Gu Qingqing into the west wing, I saw a group of men drinking tea and chatting leisurely.
Qiao Lei, Tian Mi, Zhao Lanlan, and Li Anan have already started playing mahjong.
As soon as Jiang Yanqiu entered, Tian Mi shouted at the top of her lungs, "Jiang Yanqiu, do you know how to play mahjong? Come and save me, I'm losing miserably!"
Jiang Yanqiu refused mercilessly: "I have never seen this thing, I can't do it."
No? That's impossible!
In her previous life, she grew up playing mahjong, especially when she was in college, she played mahjong every day in the dormitory.
They completely relaxed during the first semester of their freshman year. Everyone in their dormitory failed more than two courses. In the second semester, the counselor even went to their dormitory to catch them playing mahjong.
After I started working, whenever there was a dinner party, it would definitely be a mahjong game.
But I haven't seen mahjong since I came here.
Tian Mi didn't care whether she could do it or not, she shouted at the top of her voice: "Come on, I'll teach you, let's work together to kill them all!"
The others burst into laughter. When the laughter stopped, Li Anan pointed out her shamelessly, "You haven't even figured it out yourself yet and you're trying to teach others. Are you looking for someone to take the blame?"
Tian Mi wasn't embarrassed at all, and said confidently, "It's because I didn't understand that I asked two people to come together. Haven't you heard that two cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang? Jiang Yanqiu, help me figure out which card to play. I think the one I have is pretty good."
Jiang Yanqiu went over to look at her cards and almost laughed out loud. She had already won a self-drawn card, but she was still struggling with which card to play.
Gu Qingqing, who had followed, also noticed it and said with a smile, "You've already won by yourself, what else are you going to do?"
Tian Mi looked puzzled: "Why did you masturbate?"
Gu Qingqing went to sort out the cards for her and said, "Look, here's a one-Tan card, these three are one-Tan, and the remaining three are one-Tan. Isn't this a self-draw?"
Tian Mi shouted excitedly: "It's really a self-touching, I'm still waiting for the bar."
Everyone burst into laughter!
Qiao Lei joked, "If this were a real gamble, you'd lose everything, even your underwear."
Tian Mi said unconvincedly: "Just wait, I will beat you later."
Qiao Lei said cheerfully, "Just come at me, I'm ready to take on you anytime."
She also had some experience with mahjong. This was her first time learning this style of play, but it wasn't difficult.
Everyone burst into laughter again. Jiang Yanqiu observed for a long time and found that Qiao Lei was no different from before.
Jiang Yanqiu began to suspect that the person that night was not her. Otherwise, how could she be so calm in less than ten days after killing five people with her own hands?
And now that Lin Xiaomei and Zhao Guizhong have run away, isn’t she afraid of her identity being exposed?
Jiang Yanqiu no longer worried about Qiao Lei and pretended to learn how to play cards with Tian Mi.
Tian Mi probably has good luck as a newbie, and gets whatever she wants.
Dinner started not long after they started playing, and Gu Qingqing had invited quite a few people.
In addition to the acquaintances at the educated youth site, there were also a few people Jiang Yanqiu didn't know, who were also old educated youth in the Shanshui Brigade. In short, they were all educated youth.
Even Jiang Nanzheng's family came. Jiang Nanzheng and Yuan Yixuan had changed Xiao Xuehua's name to Jiang Ruoying.
In a blink of an eye, Xiao Xuehua is five and a half years old now. She is the oldest child here, acting as the king and directing other children to play games.
It was said to be a barbecue, but they actually arranged two tables for lunch and the barbecue only started in the afternoon.
But the dishes have been prepared by someone, and everyone just needs to be responsible for grilling and eating them themselves.
After eating and drinking, the others went to play cards and mahjong.
Jiang Yanqiu sat comfortably on the veranda, basking in the sun and taking a nap.
Jiang Ruoying tiptoed over to her and said in a low voice, "Auntie, I know you."
Jiang Yanqiu raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "I know you too."
The little guy looked around and made sure that no one was around. Then, like a little thief, he said mysteriously, "I know you know me. I have a photo of you at home. You even held me in your arms and took a photo."
Jiang Yanqiu found her serious expression amusing and teased her, "So what else do you know?"
The little fellow said proudly, "I know a lot. My mother said you raised me for a year. You are my great benefactor. But I can't tell anyone about it, and I can't acknowledge you, Auntie. Why is that?"
Jiang Yanqiu still smiled and said, "You will understand when you grow up."
The little guy was full of confusion and muttered, "Why do I have to wait until I grow up to understand? I'm five and a half years old, not a three-year-old child, how can I not understand?"
Jiang Yanqiu explained with a smile: "There are many kinds of growing up. When we say growing up, we mean waiting until you are twenty years old, not from three to five years old."
Afraid that the little guy would ask more questions, Jiang Yanqiu quickly took out two mutton-fat jade peace lockets from her space and handed them over, saying, "This is a gift from auntie to you and your brother."
I originally wanted to give her a pair of gold locks, but I was afraid they would be too eye-catching, and now gold is still very sensitive, so I changed it to a peace locket.
Jiang Ruoying shook her little head and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "I can't accept my aunt's things. Mom won't let me accept other people's things. She'll scold me if she knows."
Jiang Yanqiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's given by my aunt. Mom won't say anything. If you don't believe me, go ask Mom."
"Then I'll go ask my mom." After the little guy said that, he didn't take the things and ran to the other side to find Yuan Yixiuan.
Yuan Yixuan didn't come over, but just nodded at Jiang Yanqiu.
In everyone's eyes, they officially met today.
Now Jiang Yanqiu doesn't care much about Xiao Xuehua's matter. If it weren't for Yuan Yixiuan, the original owner would definitely not be able to swim to the surface even if she didn't want to die.
However, Yuan Yixiuan cares more about the past. After all, she has told too many lies and has to use more lies to cover them up.
Moreover, she had pretended to be mentally ill before. If people knew about it, her work might be affected.
After a while, the little guy ran back and said happily: "Mom said I can keep it, thank you auntie."
Jiang Yanqiu helped her put it on and said, "Come, auntie will help you put it on. You can give the other one to your brother later."
"Thank you, Auntie. I want to play with her for a while before going back to look for her. Don't worry, I won't lose her."
The little guy said this with a smile, and then stuffed the other peace locket into the inner pocket of his clothes.
Jiang Yanqiu was bored, so she taught her how to play with the bracelet.
Tian Mi came over and said with a smile: "You are still so popular with children, why don't you have a baby yourself?"
Before Jiang Yanqiu could open her mouth, the little guy said seriously, "I'm five and a half years old. I'm not a child anymore."
Jiang Yanqiu touched her head and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you are a big kid now."
Tian Mi also teased her, "You are a big kid now? Have you read? How many words do you know?"
The little guy said proudly: "I will go to preschool soon. I know a lot of words, I can recite poems, and I can draw Sun Wukong."
Tian Mi said exaggeratedly: "You are so amazing, recite a poem to your aunt, and I will treat you to some candy."
The little guy shook his head and said, "I don't eat candy from strangers. Mommy said they wanted to coax me home to be their child, but I don't want it."
Tian Mi laughed out loud and said, "We just had dinner together, how come we are still strangers?"
……
The two people began to tease the child, and several other children were also attracted over.
Jiang Ruoying is the eldest child and is simply the king of the children. If she doesn't leave, the other children will not leave either.
Later, she got tired of being pestered by other children and ran away.
Jiang Yanqiu then asked Tian Mi, "Why don't you play mahjong anymore?"
Tian Mi said with a smile: "They disliked my busy playing, so they changed people."
Tian Mi and Jiang Yanqiu sat for a while, and then she went back when it was her turn.
Yuan Yixuan brought the little guy back and returned the two peace lockets to Jiang Yanqiu, saying, "This thing is too valuable. We can't accept it."
She never imagined that the two circles her daughter mentioned were actually peace lockets, and made of the finest mutton-fat jade.
Jiang Yanqiu knew nothing about jade and had no idea of its price. She simply said, "Take it. Consider it my gift to the child. There's no need for us to be so formal. If conditions don't allow, I'll definitely adopt such a lovely child as my godparent."
Yuan Yixuan didn't know what to say, so she accepted it and said, "Then I thank you on behalf of the children."
"There's no need to be so polite between us. How are you doing now?"
The two of them were chatting there, and later Zhao Lanlan, Liu Yuanda and others joined them.
Yuan Yixiuan used to be a teacher. After the resumption of the college entrance examination, she also studied at a normal school.
She and Tian Mi are alumni, but Yuan Yixuan studied Chinese.
Then they talked about the three generations of the Yang family, a family of four, and how Aunt Yang helped take care of the children, which relieved a lot of their burden.
Yang Long and Yang Hu are both very obedient and sensible, and their grades are good, so they don't worry too much.
Yang Long will take the college entrance examination in July, and getting into university will be a piece of cake.
Yang Hu is still in the third year of junior high school and will also take the high school entrance examination in July.
Everyone talked about everything, even the educated youth that Jiang Yanqiu and the others didn't know before, but they all tacitly agreed that no one mentioned Lin Xiaomei.
At the end of the day, everyone had a great time!
Jiang Yanqiu observed carefully and found that the people who cooked in Gu Qingqing's house, although they said they were tenants helping, were actually nannies.
The meals were cooked by others, and when they helped with the cleaning, they even cleaned the cabinets and windowsills. How could anyone who helped be so meticulous?
But this method is really good. Jiang Yanqiu will have to find someone to help clean the yard, otherwise the whole family will be exhausted every weekend.
Shen Shuyan didn't show up until the end of the party, so Tian Mi asked curiously.
Qiao Lei said he was preparing for the college entrance examination.
In fact, Shen Shuyan was really preparing for the college entrance examination. He did not take the exam in the first year, mainly because he was afraid that it would be the same as the college entrance examination in 1973, and his excitement would be in vain.
I wasn’t well prepared for the second year and was afraid of being embarrassed by failing the exam.
The Imperial Capital University of Political Science and Law has started recruiting students this year. This is a good opportunity. He would rather give up his previous position as a section chief and apply to the Imperial Capital University of Political Science and Law.
His family didn't want him to have too much contact with Qiao Lei, so they asked him to take leave and stay at home to concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination.
So Qiao Lei hasn't seen Shen Shuyan for a long time.
