The two of them sat and chatted. Outside the house, Su Lingling moved closer and closer, and then came in directly.

"Uncle, hey, Qin Chi, you're here?" She looked like she had just seen Qin Chi.

Seeing this, Qin Chi politely stood up and greeted her, "Hello."

Su Lingling looked at him with a polite but slightly indifferent expression, and secretly complained in her heart.

But she didn't show it on her face, she just asked, "Do you remember me? Sister Xiaoxue and I were on a blind date with you before."

Qin Chi nodded, "I remember. I heard that you found a good family, congratulations!"

Hearing Qin Chi's congratulations, Su Lingling felt a little awkward, but she still smiled and said, "Thank you."

She knew very well that although Qin Chi's family was well-off, they had a lot of problems. The children were annoying, Qin Chi had health problems, and something might happen to him in the future. No matter how good his family was, it was not good for her.

As for her cousin, if she is with Qin Chi, whether she can hold on and accompany Qin Chi through the difficulties depends on her. Anyway, she will not suffer with Qin Chi.

Thinking of this, Su Lingling quickly said to Qin Chi: "Sister Xiaoxue seems to have gone up the mountain early this morning. I'm going to the mountain later. Do you want me to take you to find her?"

Qin Chi was a little surprised by Su Lingling's words. He wanted to go find Su Xiaoxue, but he felt it was inconvenient to let Su Lingling take him there.

Su Jianguo also saw his embarrassment and said, "Lingling, no need. Your sister will be back soon. Just go and do your thing first."

Seeing this, Su Lingling knew what they were thinking and nodded, "Okay!"

If she is not allowed to bring it, then she doesn't have to. She just wanted to be alone with Qin Chi, asking him what he thought of her cousin and what he planned to do with the betrothal gift.

But since the other party didn't let her take it, she was too lazy to go.

And just as Su's father said, not long after Su Lingling left, Su Xiaoxue came back with a fat rabbit in her hands.

"Dad, Dad, look..."

The sound entered the yard before she even entered.

When she walked in excitedly, she saw Qin Chi standing in her yard.

Su Xiaoxue was completely paralyzed, looking stunned.

Because at this moment, her trouser legs were rolled up one high and one low, the soles of her shoes were covered with mud, her hair was a mess from crawling through the bushes, and her hands were covered with mud.

In short, it can be summed up in two words: Oops!

Her brain stopped instantly and she froze there!

When she came to her senses, Su Xiaoxue quickly turned around and faced away from her father and Qin Chi who were in the yard.

All her actions took only a few seconds. Father Su looked up and saw her turning around.

He even laughed and said, "Look, she's back just as I was talking about her."

Qin Chi smiled and nodded.

Then, Father Su shouted, "Xiaoxue, what are you doing? Come in quickly!"

Su Xiaoxue could only bite the bullet and turn around and walk towards the two of them.

As she walked, she did not forget to put down one of her rolled-up trouser legs. Although this did not make her look much better in terms of her dishevelled and messy image, it at least made her less embarrassed.

When she came up to the two of them, Su Xiaoxue smiled and greeted them, "Comrade Qin Chi, why are you here?"

Qin Chi had a faint smile on his face, "I just happened to be taking a break today, so I came to talk to you about something."

Thinking of what Qin Chi had told her before, Su Xiaoxue thought that Qin Chi might be here to talk about his father's medical treatment.

She nodded, then put the backpack down and stuffed the rabbit into a chicken coop.

When she turned back to her original position, she clapped her hands and smiled at her father, "We have rabbit meat to eat."

Father Su smiled and nodded, and said to Qin Chi: "It just so happens that Xiaoxue caught a rabbit and will have dinner at home later."

Qin Chi did not refuse, but nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxue decided to change into dry clothes first and show a good face to others.

"Then I'll go in and clean up first. You sit down first."

Qin Chi nodded.

Su Xiaoxue ran into the house quickly.

Father Su naturally saw his daughter's embarrassment and said with a smile: "This child has been irritable since she was a child. Don't be surprised, but she is a good child."

Qin Chi nodded, "Yeah, it's okay, it's lively like this."

Su Xiaoxue quickly changed into clean clothes and did not forget to comb her hair before going out.

In the yard, Father Su and Qin Chi were chatting leisurely.

Seeing Su Xiaoxue coming out, Su's father found an excuse to go out, leaving the two people in the yard.

Su Xiaoxue first made tea for Qin Chi, then brought a stool for him to sit on. After he drank a sip of tea, she began to ask, "You...are you here to talk about my dad's matter this time?"

"Yes." Qin Chi nodded. "I've called someone to make the arrangements. I'll be on vacation this weekend, and I'll take you and your uncle to the provincial hospital then."

Although she knew that Qin Chi was efficient, Su Xiaoxue was still a little surprised when she heard that Qin Chi had made all the arrangements.

"It's arranged so quickly?"

Qin Chi nodded and asked her, "Can't we arrange it so quickly?"

Su Xiaoxue quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, it's fine, it's fine."

She naturally hoped that the earlier her father's illness was cured, the better the chance of recovery. Many diseases are not serious in themselves, but because of repeated delays, minor illnesses become major illnesses and eventually become incurable.

Looking at Qin Chi, Su Xiaoxue couldn't help but said, "Thank you!"

The girl's tone was genuinely grateful.

Qin Chi was stunned, and said with a smile: "What are you thanking me for? I should do it."

"No matter what the outcome of my dad's illness is, I want to thank you for helping me."

Qin Chi knew what she meant. His eyes fell on the bamboo cover woven with bamboo in the yard. He pointed at it and asked curiously, "What is that?"

Su Xiaoxue quickly responded: "Some mushrooms picked from the mountains."

"Oh?" Qin Chi was a little curious, so he stood up and asked her, "Can I go and take a look?"

Su Xiaoxue nodded, but pointed to the backpack covered with leaves on the ground and said, "It's right here."

Qin Chi walked forward curiously, and after Su Xiaoxue lifted the leaves, he could see all kinds of mushrooms inside.

"Did you pick these?"

Su Xiaoxue nodded and said, "Well, there are many mushrooms growing in the mountains here, so I picked the edible ones."

Qin Chi nodded and picked up a plump porcini mushroom in his hand. "This porcini mushroom is in perfect shape. It must taste good."

Su Xiaoxue looked at him in surprise, "Do you know these fungi?"

Qin Chi laughed and said, "I told you before, when I was a soldier and went to the field for training, we had to make these foods ourselves in the mountains. The commander led us to identify them, otherwise we would have starved to death in the mountains."

Su Xiaoxue nodded, "So that's how it is."

"Ah."

"By the way, I was thinking of picking more today and sending them to your house tomorrow. Since you are here, take some back when you leave." Su Xiaoxue said to him with a smile.

Qin Chi didn't bother to be polite with her, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll take some back to try."
