The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Chapter 446: Struck by Lightning

Chen Cuiping felt dizzy and lay in bed for a while. She felt a little better, but she was still very nervous and her hands were shaking. She slowly got up, held on to the bed to open the box, opened the bag of sugar, and took a mouthful of the sugar.

After standing next to the box for a while, I felt much better.

I go to the kitchen to cook despite my tired and weak body, as people will be back from work soon.

She didn't have the time or energy to buy groceries these two days. There were only sauerkraut, potatoes, and pickles at home.

Boil the pickled rice bran that I soaked in the morning, pick up some sauerkraut, make some potato and sauerkraut stew, and steam some egg custard for my daughter-in-law.

He was hungry and weak, and his hand was unsteady while cutting vegetables. It slipped and a big cut was made on his left index finger.

Chen Cuiping clenched her index finger tightly, feeling terrible! She couldn't help but sob.

Why am I so unlucky? !

After crying for a while, she found a piece of cloth to wrap her finger and continued cooking.

Qi Dahe came back first. As soon as he entered the room, Chen Cuiping was furious. She leaned against the wall, panting slightly, and pointed her index finger at him.

"Qi Dahe, you didn't expect that your good niece," he pointed his finger outside, "your good niece came back and stole my gold, she stole my gold!"

Tears of grievance overflowed from her eyes, "I raised her with all my heart and soul for eighteen years! This is how she repays me. Qi Dahe! This is how your niece repays me!"

Qi Dahe still didn't quite believe it, "You mean... Feifei?"

Chen Cuiping, "Yes, it was her. The old lady downstairs saw her coming back that day. Who else could it be but her? She came back specifically to steal the gold and didn't even dare to show her face.

Thief, thief, her mother steals men, she steals gold, there is no good person in your family."

Hearing someone scolding his sister, Qi Dahe was unhappy, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Chen Cuiping also raised her voice, "I'm talking nonsense? Am I talking nonsense? Your sister is pregnant before she got married. Is it Qi Feifei who was born by the eldest daughter? Otherwise, why didn't she take the whole family with her? Why didn't you come and take the child away?

Every one of them is shameless, shameless!"

woo woo woo...

After cursing, Chen Cuiping squatted on the ground and started crying.

"Give me back the gold. Go and get it back."

Qi Dahe sat dejectedly in the chair. What Chen Cuiping said was true and he could not refute it.

He naturally wanted to get the gold back, but how could he ask for it? He didn't go to work, asked for leave and went to the mountains to find Qi Feifei? How could it be possible! He had no choice!

Why did this kid suddenly come back to steal things? How did she know?

One of the couple was crying, while the other was silent.

Xu Xiaoping and Qi Guoliang entered the house.

Qi Guoliang, "Mom? What's wrong?"

Xu Xiaoping curled his lips slightly, pulled Qi Guoliang's sleeve, moved his lips but didn't say anything, "Dowry."

Qi Guoliang, "Mom, did you go to the military area?"

Chen Cuiping, "Your sister, Qi Feifei is a fool. That damn Guan Ming must have been demobilized. Maybe he was just trying to trick her. How could he be interested in her when she's good in every way? What's so special about her? She's just so-so in appearance, has no job, no money, and no skills. How could a good person be interested in her?"

Xu Xiaoping, "Mom, do you mean the betrothal gift thing is completely off?" There was no point in saying so much.

Chen Cuiping was afraid that Xu Xiaoping would be unhappy, so she softened her tone, "Xiaoping! I will definitely not let you spend the pocket money that mom gives you every month."

Xu Xiaoping was still a little reluctant, but it was better than nothing, so he smiled and said, "Mom, let's eat? Your eldest grandson is hungry."

Chen Cuiping also smiled, "Yes, yes, let's eat. Mom hasn't had time to buy you fish or meat recently. I steamed some egg custard tonight. I'll buy you something delicious tomorrow."

Xu Xiaoping, "Mom, look at what you said, it's no big deal if your eldest grandson skips a meal."

When she went to bed at night, Chen Cuiping was still angry. She turned her back to Qi Dahe and was very upset with his family.

Qi Dahe also turned his back to Chen Cuiping. He had always obeyed her in everything all his life, but she still poked his heart like this. He only had one sister, and she didn't have a good time at that time. It was not her own idea to have a child out of wedlock. Now she is gone, and yet she is still scolding her like this.

Let's talk about Feifei. Oh! How did this kid become a bad kid? I don't know what he's going to do with all that gold. Don't be so stupid.

I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't fall asleep.

Xu Xiaoping was in a good mood. Her monthly income was more than before, so it was still a happy thing.

"Guoliang, how much money do you think mom can give me per month?"

Qi Guoliang didn't feel anything. There was no difference between the child being in his mother's hands and in his wife's hands. They were both at home.

"I don't know, three or five dollars?" How much does Dad earn in a month, and he has to take care of the whole family's food and drink.

Xu Xiaoping was very optimistic. "Mom is very calculating. I will definitely save more than this. Maybe I can give her ten yuan." That year she had more than a hundred yuan. By the end of the year, she could buy new clothes from head to toe and wear them out during the New Year. How wonderful!

She was in a good mood and didn't want to sleep. She poked and grumbled to prevent Qi Guoliang from sleeping. She touched him here and there, and finally made Qi Guoliang excited. He hugged her from behind and fit them together perfectly.

……

After Qi Guoliang vented his emotions, he felt relaxed, as if the anger he had been holding back for the past few days had subsided a lot.

It’s great to have a wife!

Xu Xiaoping felt comfortable both mentally and physically today. He lay softly in Qi Guoliang's arms and slept soundly.

The next day, during lunch, someone sent by Deputy County Chief Fang entered the house.

Staff, "Excuse me, is this Qi Feifei's home? I'm from the county working group and I have some official business to discuss with her."

Qi Dahe remained silent.

Chen Cuiping, "Isn't she in Toudaogou?" She didn't go back? Then where did she go?

Staff, "She said she was going back to Beijing to get married. Didn't she go home? We have something important to discuss with her."

Chen Cuiping, "She really didn't come back. No one in our family saw her." Did she get into trouble? Did she steal money and run away? This child of a disaster!

Xu Xiaoping, "Maybe she went to the military area to find her partner?"

Staff, no way? She beat Guan Li so badly, and she went to find his brother? "Probably not. If she comes back, please let her contact us. We are at the city guesthouse recently."

Having said that, the staff left Qi Dahe's house and didn't know where to find Qi Feifei, so they went to the military region.

It turned out that Guan Ming was really demobilized. A few days ago, the military district received a call from the head of the county armed forces department, who felt that there were problems with his family ideology and that he was not suitable to stay in the army, so he was sent back to his hometown.

Guan Ming happened to receive a telegram from his mother that day. "Dad has passed away." Guan Ming was struck by lightning and rushed home that day.

The staff searched the capital for several days but could not find any trace of Qi Feifei.
