Thinking of this, Qin Junshan looked at Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zixuan with a smile. âYuanyuan, Zixuan, what shall we have for lunch?â
Ji Zixuan put down his book and answered seriously, âGrandpa Qin, Iâll cat anything!â
Ji Yuanyuan nodded as well. âMe too!â
Qin Junshan took the walking stick next to him. âThen Iâll go to the kitchen and see what vegetables we have!â
He leaned on the walking stick and moved step by step into the kitchen. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although Qin Junshanâs body was much better, he was old after all, and his body was full of injuries from his youth.
On such a rainy day, his knees still hurt.
Ji Yuanyuan got up and was about to support Qin Junshan when the phone suddenly rang.
Qin Junshan had already walked to the kitchen door and instructed, âYuanyuan, pick it up and see if itâs Mucheng.â
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan had no choice but to go forward and answer the phone.
âHello?â It was Qin Muchengâs voice.
âBrother Mucheng, Grandpa is in the kitchen. Heâll be here soon!â
Qin Mucheng sounded very happy. Ji Yuanyuan asked curiously, âBrother Mucheng, is there anything youâre happy about?â
âWe had a city-wide mock test a few days ago.â Qin Mucheng was a little shy. âThen, did you do well on the test?â Ji Yuanyuan said as she climbed onto the sofa.
Sitting on the sofa, she asked seriously, âYou must be number one in the class, right?â
Qin Mucheng was silent for a moment before he said, âNumber one in the city!â
âWow, number one in the city!â Ji Yuanyuan was really a little surprised.
How many sixth graders were there in the entire B City? Moreover, B City was the capital, a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
It was truly remarkable that Qin Mucheng could get a first place among many people.
She couldnât help but sigh in her heart. The difference between people was too obvious.
This was the difference in IQ.!
Hearing this, Ji Zixuan looked over with envy.
Qin Junshan came out of the kitchen and asked excitedly, âWhat number one in the city?â
Ji Yuanyuan quickly reported the good news to Qin junshan, âGrandpa, Brother Mucheng got first place in the city in a mock test!â
Hearing that his grandson was so outstanding, Qin Junshan became even more excited. He quickly limped over and took the phone from Ji Yuanyuanâs hand. He repeatedly asked, âReally? You little brat didnât lie to me, did you?â
âReally, of course, itâs true!â Ji Yuanyuan pressed her ear to the side of the phone and heard Qin Mucheng reply.
âBrat, youâre much better than your father when he was young. You did so well in the exam. What do you want? Grandpa will buy it for you!â Qin Junshan said happily. His voice was much louder than usual.
âItâs just a mock test. Letâs talk about it after I get into Mingde!â Qin Mucheng was not proud at all.
âOh right, Grandpa, my parents told me to focus on preparing for the middle school exam. They didnât let me go out to play on Labor Day. I canât go over to see you anymore.â
Hearing this news, Qin Junshan looked a little disappointed.
However, he still forced a smile and said, âItâs okay. The middle school entrance exam is coming soon. Naturally, the exam will be the most important thing. If you canât come over, Grandpa can go over!â
Speaking of which, it had indeed been a long time since Qin Junshan had gone back.
âGrandpa, pass the phone to Yuanyuan. I want to talk to Yuanyuan!â Qin Junshanâs mood had just risen when he heard Qin Mucheng say this.
He sighed and handed the microphone to Ji Yuanyuan. âWell, it seems he doesnât care whether I go back or not!â
âHello, Brother Mucheng!â Ji Yuanyuan called out to the person on the other end of the phone.
âYuanyuan, My Grandpa will come here on Labor Day. You should come too. Letâs play together for two days!â Qin Mucheng advised. âItâs so fun here. And Qin Doudou has grown bigger now. Donât you want to see him?â
I want ah, how can I not?
If she was seventeen this year, she might be able to go. But she was only seven this year. Her family would definitely not be reassured about letting her go to B City.
But if she went with the whole family, it would be too troublesome for the Qin family.
Not to mention the shop costs dozens of Yuan a day. Her mother might not be willing to close the shop.
âIâll have to discuss this with my mother. I canât say for sure,â Ji Yuanyuan said in a low voice.
Qin Mucheng was a little disappointed when he heard that.
âOkay, then, tell Auntie Iâll keep an eye on you if you come.â
Ji Yuanyuan nodded. âOkay!â
? ?
Perhaps she overthought during the day, but Ji Yuanyuan had a dream not long after she fell asleep that night.
She was soaked in the cold and wet rain, bouncing along with the wind and waves.
Her mouth was full of mud and sand. She wanted to struggle. She wanted to cry for help.
But there was nothing she could do!
The flood submerged the village, the farmland, and the livestock.
She screamed loudly and suddenly sat up from the bed, breathing heavily.
She had read a lot of information about the flood in her previous life.
Some of the scenes were still vivid in her mind.
The soldiers held hands and formed a human wall; the weak girl held the tree for nine hours before being rescued; the farmers knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, begging the soldiers not to jump into the water againâ¦
These scenes touched Ji Yuanyuan countless times in her previous life, but when she thought about it in this life, her eyes were still red.
âYuanyuan, whatâs wrong?â Li Xu, who was sleeping next door, heard Ji Yuanyuanâs shout and quickly came over from next door.
She pushed the door open and saw Ji Yuanyuan sitting on the bed in a daze. Her head was covered in sweat, and her gaze was dull.
âBaby, did you have a nightmare?â Li Xu quickly went forward and hugged Ji Yuanyuan with some heartache. âDonât be afraid, Donât be afraid. Mommy is here!â
Ji Yuanyuan nestled in Li Xuâs embrace and nodded gently. âMommy, I just had a very strange and terrifying dream!â
Li Xu pulled the blanket over and wrapped it around Ji Yuanyuan. She discussed softly with her, âLetâs lie down, shall we?â
Ji Yuanyuan nodded again. Li Xu hugged her and lay down under the blanket.
It was freezing under the blanket. Li Xu clung tightly to Ji Yuanyuan, wanting to keep her warm.
âNow, tell mommy what dream you had just now. Was it very scary?â Li Xu asked softly.
Ji Yuanyuan thought about it again and again. After a long while, she slowly said, âI dreamed that there was a lot of water. Houses, farmland, people, and livestock were all flooded. The water was even higher than the houses. There was a lot of water!â
When Li Xu heard that, she quickly reached out and patted her daughterâs back gently.
âDonât be afraid, Donât be afraid. Those were all dreams!â
Why would her daughter have such a dream all of a sudden?
Ji Yuanyuan did not say anything else. She only said in a low voice, âBut it was so real. I can still remember it clearly now!â
âLetâs sleep. When we wake up tomorrow, you will definitely forget it,â Li Xu coaxed her.
âMom, there was an old man in the dream. He told me to prepare something to fight the flood in advance. I will need it when the time comes,â Ji Yuanyuan said sincerely.
Li Xu only thought the child was talking nonsense and did not take this matter to heart.
She patted Ji Yuanyuanâs back. âBaby, be good. Letâs close our eyes and sleep..
You will definitely forget about it tomorrow!â
