âChildren canât be blown by the fan directly, or theyâll catch a cold easily. Besides, itâs more useful to put the fan outside the window than inside.â Qin Xiaomin explained seriously.
Ji Ziâang was stunned for a moment and did not quite believe it.
âAuntie, are you lying?â
Qin Xiaomin shook her head, âItâs true. If you donât believe me, try it yourself.â
Ji Ziâang curiously picked up the fan and started experimenting.
Li Nian and Li Xiang were both lying on the brick bed. The siblings were wearing the same onesie, and their faces were somewhat similar.
If it werenât for the fact that their sizes were different, others might have thought that they were twins!
This was Yang Jingyiâs first time at the Li familyâs residence. She was a little timid as she grabbed the corner of Ji Yuanyuanâs clothes and followed behind her.
Qin Xiaomin noticed Yang Jingyiâs wariness. She thought for a while, took out ten yuan from her pocket and handed it to Ji Yuanyuan, âYuanyuan, go to a small shop and buy some popsicles.â
âAunt, how many do you want to buy?â Ji Yuanyuan asked after taking the money.
âOne, two, three, fourâ¦â Qin Xiaomin counted the heads, ââBuy six. You can buy whatever you want with the rest of the money.â
Seeing that Qin Xiaomin had taken her into account, Yang Jingyi felt less reserved.
Ji Ziâang did not manage to find anything from his research on the fan, but when he heard Qin Xiaominâs words, he became excited, âIâll go too!â
He got off the bed and followed Ji Yuanyuan out.
Only Ji Zixuan, Qin Xiaomin, and the two children were left in the house.
âZixuan, did you get first place in the final exam again?â Qin Xiaomin asked him.
Ji Zixuan rubbed his nose in embarrassment, âYes!â
âYou kids are all like your Aunt. Youâre smart,â Qin Xiaomin sighed.
After saying that, she paused for a moment, âI donât know when your Aunt will be back. She didnât call.â
Li Miaoâs junior year was over. In the second half of the year, she would officially be promoted to senior year.
There werenât many courses in the fourth year of university, and students had to go out for internships.
Generally speaking, students would find a school they liked in advance, do an internship for a year in their fourth year, and sign a contract with the school directly after graduation to become a formal employee of the school.
Li Miao wanted to take advantage of the summer vacation to find a school she liked.
Therefore, Li Miao had not returned after a few days of vacation.
âAuntyâs school is good, and her grades are good too. Sheâll definitely be fine.â Ji Zixuan said.
Qin Xiaomin nodded with a smile, âYes, there will definitely be no problem. If thereâs a problem, Iâll ask Uncle for help.â She mumbled.
At this moment, Ji Yuanyuan and the rest returned.
The three of them each held a popsicle in their hands. They walked into the courtyard and handed one to Meng Xiaoning, who was washing clothes in the courtyard.
Only then did she carry the remaining two into the house.
Qin Xiaomin and Ji Zixuan had just finished splitting one.
Although Qin Xiaomin asked them to buy their favorite snacks, the children were quite sensible. Other than popsicles, they didnât buy anything.
Ji Yuanyuan handed the remaining change to Qin Xiaomin, âSecond Aunt, we donât have anything we want to eat. 1â11 return the rest of the money to you!â Qin Xiaomin reached out and stroked Ji Yuanyuanâs hair, âLeave it here!â
Just as they were talking, Li Yong came back from outside.
The sound of the tricycle could be heard from afar.
He was covered in mud and barefoot.
When she entered the house, she saw the popsicle in Qin Xiaominâs hand and swallowed his saliva.
Seeing how hot he was, Qin Xiaomin quickly handed him the popsicle in her hand, âYou eat. Why are you back?â
Li Yong took the popsicle and took a big bite before saying, âThe water pipe is broken. 1 have to go to town to buy another one.â
Li Yong finished the popsicle in two or three bites, then leaned over and kissed his son on the cheek before turning around and walking out.
However, before he could go far, Ji Zi;ang caught up and grabbed Li Yongâs hand, âSecond Uncle, are you going to town? 1 want to go too!â
Li Yong hesitated for a moment before waving his hand, âLetâs go!â
Ji Ziâang cheered and got into the car tricycle.
Seeing this, the other three children also wanted to follow.
Qin Xiaomin was afraid the children would have no money to buy snacks when they went to town, so she quickly held Ji Yuanyuanâs hand.
She took out a ten yuan note from her bag and stuffed it into Ji Yuanyuanâs pocket along with the change from earlier, âTake this money. Jingyi, tell Yuanyuan what you want to eat, understand?â
âThank you, Auntie!â Yang Jingyi nodded shyly.
Ji Yuanyuan pulled Yang Jingyi out and got into the car.
Ji Yuanyuan was afraid that Yang Jingyi would not be able to stand steadily, so she pulled her hand and placed it on the board in front of her, âYou have to hold on tight. Donât let go!â
It was Yang Jingyiâs first time sitting in this kind of âconvertibleâ, and the sun above her head made her a little dizzy. The tricycleâs side board was also a little hot.
âDonât worry!â she nodded obediently.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yong started the tricycle.
The thudding sound made Yang Jingyiâs spirits rise, and she quickly sat down.
Amidst the deafening thuds, Li Yong led a few people straight to the town.
In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the entrance of the supermarket.
Li Yong instructed them, âYou guys go in and take a look. Is there anything you want to buy? Wait for me at the door after youâre done. Iâll come back and settle the bill for you.â
Ji Ziâang jumped out of the car and reached out to Ji Yuanyuan, âHold my hand!â
Ji Zixuan jumped down as well. Seeing that Yang Jingyi had no one to help her up, he hesitated for a moment before reaching out to her.
Yang Jingyiâs eyes lit up. Her head was no longer dizzy, and her hands were no longer hot.
She held his hand and jumped out of the car.
Li Yong wanted to buy a water pipe. Seeing the four of them get out of the car, he drove forward.
The four of them quickly entered the supermarket.
Although the supermarket in town was not big, the variety of snacks was much more comprehensive than the small shops in the village.
Once they entered, they happily went straight to the snacks section.
Ji Yuanyuan followed closely behind, followed by Ji Zixuan and Yang Jingyi.
He followed them closely.
There was nothing he wanted to buy. He did not really like snacks.
Usually, if he needed anything, he just needed to tell his parents and they would buy it for him.
Hence, after entering the supermarket, he stood at the entrance like Ji Yuanyuan.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Yang Jingyi did not move, Ji Zixuan said considerately, âJingyi, just tell Yuanyuan what you want to eat. Itâs okay.â
Yang Jingyi shook her head, âI donât want to eat anything!â
A middle-aged woman hurried out of the shelf.
Ji Zixuan quickly pulled Yang Jingyi to the side so that she could leave.
Just as the woman was about to leave, the boss suddenly shouted, âStop!â
The woman paused for a moment, then walked even faster.
The woman didnât even turn her head when the bossâs expression turned cold. He came out from behind the cashier counter, took a few steps forward, and grabbed the woman at the entrance of the supermarket.
âTake out the thing in your arms!â
