Chapter 77 Pagoda Candy

After hearing enough gossip, the few people saw Bao Jun off. Qiu Huoming breathed a sigh of relief and rode his bike home easily.

The matter of my great uncle has finally come to an end.

The sword hanging over his and his parents' heads had been removed. No matter what happened to their family in the future, they would not be able to cause any more trouble.

Qiu Huoming rode his bike and started thinking about what he was going to do next.

In the days ahead, you should prepare for the exam carefully and then choose a suitable major.

When he got home, he resisted the urge to tell Qiu Jianshe about what happened to his great uncle.

He originally thought that his great uncle's affairs would soon reach his father's ears, but he didn't expect that everything would be calm in the next few days.

On Wednesday noon, Grandpa and my third aunt went into the city.

When Qiu Huoming arrived home in the evening, they had already left.

Qiu Jianshe opened a bottle of wine, apparently waiting for him to drink together.

"Dad, is grandpa's matter settled?" Qiu Huoming thought that grandpa and third aunt came together most likely to deal with the demolition issue. After putting down his schoolbag, he asked casually.

"The documents have all been received, and the certificates have all been issued. Your third aunt is planning to move to the city, so your third uncle-in-law will have a place to stay when he goes to the city to sell fruit. Your cousin Xiaoping can also go to the city with your aunt to attend elementary school..."

"I went with them to look at the house at noon. It has three rooms and a large yard. Grandpa and grandma have one room, your second uncle has one room, and your third aunt and Xiaoping have one room. If it's not enough in the future, they can build another room in the yard..."

Qiu Jianshe was talking about his sexuality. "Your grandfather insisted on putting my name on the house deed. Why would I need that? Your third aunt said that the rules cannot be broken. If I don't agree, they will put your name on it."

Qiu Huoming raised the corner of his mouth, sat down on the chair and said: "Then I will become a landlord!"

Chen Suniang came in with two dishes. "Pooh, pooh, pooh, what landlord! Don't talk nonsense, little kid."

Qiu Jianshe also laughed and said, "I'll listen to you. If she wants to hang up her name, then let her hang up. If she doesn't want to hang up, we won't hang up."

"Although Third Aunt took our last name Qiu, we are not related by blood. I roughly understand what our father said at noon. He felt relieved when he used your name."

Chen Suniang served the dishes, took two wine glasses and walked over, talking as she walked.

"Old Qiu, then put it in your name. With this house, whoever takes care of Second Uncle in the future will own it. If Third Aunt can take good care of him, giving the house to her can stop others from gossiping, and it will also give us a reason to give the house to her."

Qiu Jianshe listened quietly with a smile on his face. He reached out for the bottle and poured a glass of wine for himself and Qiu Huoming respectively.

"If Huo Ming is promising, he won't care about even a brick or a half tile here. If he is not promising, no matter how much he is given, he won't be able to keep it."

Qiu Huoming raised the corner of his mouth, "That's right, I agree with mom, I won't put my name on it, you are people of the same generation, what's the point of me getting involved?"

They didn't mention Qiu Jianjun when they came here today. It is estimated that the crime he committed has not yet spread to the countryside.

There were three dishes and one soup on the table: fried peanuts, fried pork belly with bean curd sheets, scrambled eggs with green peppers, and meat and tofu soup.

Today, my grandfather and his family came over, and Qiu Jianshe went specially to the market to buy meat. The meat was used to make dishes at noon, and there was extra meat, which he was afraid would go bad, so in the evening Chen Suniang made all of it into dishes.

The eldest and youngest sisters served themselves the rice and ate with gusto.

Qiu Huoming looked at the white liquor on the table with a bitter face, "Dad, I'll just drink one glass. I still have to do my homework."

"Okay, just one glass." Qiu Jianshe raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

Chen Suniang has had a poor appetite recently, so she took the bowl and drank a bowl of soup first. "Don't drink it while you're doing your homework. Let your dad drink it alone."

Qiu Huoming took the initiative to pick up some food for Qiu Jianshe, then raised his glass, "Dad, I toast to you."

He held out the cup and gently clinked it with Qiu Jianshe's cup, then drank the wine in one breath. The eldest sister was very perceptive and immediately served him a bowl of rice.

"Hey, my sister is so nice." Qiu Huoming took the bowl and praised her generously.

The older sister blushed, and the younger sister stood up and picked up a piece of scrambled eggs for him, raised her head and asked, "Brother, what about me?"

"Hello, little sister too." Qiu Huoming took a mouthful of rice and muttered.

The younger sister immediately laughed, and the older sister rolled her eyes at her, "Childish."

Chen Suniang looked at her two daughters and said, "If there are lice on the heads of the girls in your class, don't get too close to them, or you will get infected. Wash your hair for me at noon tomorrow. If you come back with lice, cut your hair short..."

The little sister touched the hair that had finally grown to her neck and muttered, "A lot of people have it, what should I do..."

The eldest sister didn't care, "There are few people who play with me."

After finishing her meal, Chen Suniang took out three pagoda candies from her bedroom and said, "After finishing your meal, eat the pagoda candies while you're at it."

"Great! The pagoda candy is delicious." The little sister jumped off the stool, came over, picked up one and put it in her mouth without saying a word.

Qiu Huoming took the pagoda candy and threw it into his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he found that it tasted pretty good.

At the dinner table, everyone had finished their meal except Qiu Jianshe, who was still drinking wine slowly, and from time to time he picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, chewing it with relish.

Chen Suniang warned the children: "Don't panic if you find worms in your stool, because the medicine is working."

Qiu Huoming imagined the scene in his mind and suddenly felt a chill.

The younger sister laughed and said, "Don't worry, Mom. Several of my classmates have had it done before. I've seen it. It's really long..."

Qiu Huoming silently glanced at Qiu Jianshe who was still eating and drinking. He was so mentally strong that he was not shaken at all by the words of the outside world.

The older sister reached out and covered her younger sister's mouth, which was still chattering. "Stop talking. Have you finished your homework?"

The younger sister was stunned for a moment, then looked sad and gently opened her hands, "Do it now."

The eldest sister finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Qiu Huoming quickly stood up, "Mom, I'm going back to do my homework too..."

"Go ahead, go ahead. If you feel cold at night, there is a thin blanket in the cupboard. Remember to cover yourself with it..."

"Okay, I get it."

Qiu Huoming picked up his schoolbag and left.

The next morning, in the public toilet on the slope behind, Qiu Huoming silently watched an unconscious roundworm being expelled by him.

For a moment he began to doubt his life, wondering if he was dirty and where these bugs came from.

Fortunately, there is only one, he comforted himself.

When I got home, I rubbed my hands vigorously with the lye placed by the sink.

The younger sister came over and asked, "Brother, did you catch any bugs?"

"No, don't talk nonsense." Qiu Huoming straightened his back suddenly.

The younger sister said leisurely: "Alas, I don't have it either..."

Qiu Huoming glanced at her, why was she still looking so melancholy? !

When they got to school, he pulled Ding Yu aside and asked, "Have you eaten the pagoda candy?"

"I have to take it twice a year..." Ding Yu smacked his lips, "It's a pity that I can't take too much. Medicine is poisonous."

"You got bugs?"

Ding Yu said sadly: "I had it when I was a child, but it's gone when I grow up..."

Qiu Huoming's eyes suddenly became dazed, and a world was achieved where he was the only one who was hurt.

Thank you for your votes :)
