Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 202: Teasing Xiaoshun

"Yes, I'm Qiu Yi's fiancé, my name is Wei Jingyuan." Holding the bicycle with one hand, Wei Jingyuan extended his hand to Mr. Qi, "Hello, old man."

"Hello, Comrade Wei. My surname is Qi, and everyone calls me Old Man Qi." Old Man Qi stretched out his hand and shook hands with Wei Jingyuan.

When he let go, he suddenly thought of something and grabbed Wei Jingyuan's hand again.

"Wei Jingyuan, I know you." After saying that, Mr. Qi looked down at Wei Jingyuan's legs. Seeing that he was standing straight, he said in shock, "You...your legs?"

Wei Jingyuan wasn't surprised at all when Old Man Qi asked about his leg. Two years ago, he had been injured and had a limp, and almost everyone in Huangjia Town knew about it.

"He was cured not long ago." Wei Jingyuan said calmly, looking at Tao Qiuyi.

"Okay, okay, it's good that you're cured. You protected so many people, but you... You are a hero, you shouldn't suffer like that." Old Master Qi said three good words in a row, with relief and gratitude in his eyes.

Wei Jingyuan couldn't respond to this.

Tao Qiuyi looked at Mr. Qi and then at Wei Jingyuan.

It seems that the two of them don't know each other, but Mr. Qi's attitude towards Wei Jingyuan doesn't seem as simple as just knowing Wei Jingyuan.

Perhaps sensing Tao Qiuyi's inquiring gaze, Mr. Qi was about to speak...

"Brother-in-law Tao is a hero." Xiaoshun's voice rang out. He ran to his grandfather and looked up at him. "Grandpa, is Brother-in-law Tao the kind of soldier hero you always talk about?"

"Yes, your brother-in-law Tao is the kind of soldier hero Grandpa often told you about." Grandpa Tao lowered his eyes and looked at his grandson, "Xiaoshun, remember what Grandpa told you."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I remember. Xiaoshun remembers everything." Xiaoshun assured seriously.

Mr. Qi smiled with relief, but suddenly his expression changed, "Oh, there are still steaming buns in the pot. I have to go check on the fire. You guys come in and find a place to sit."

After he finished speaking, Mr. Qi had already walked inside, leaving the two adults and one child at the door looking at each other.

"Sister Tao, Brother-in-law Tao, let's go inside and sit down." Xiao Shun sensibly invited them in and prepared to help Tao Qiuyi push the cart. As a result, he saw Tao Qiuyi easily drag the cart into the yard.

Xiaoshun began to suspect that the things piled on the cart might not be as heavy as he imagined, so he went over to try it, but the cart didn't move.

"Sister Tao, you are so awesome." Xiao Shun admired her very much.

Tao Qiuyi waved his hands complacently and said, "No big deal, just a little bit stronger."

After pushing the bicycle into the door and placing it beside it, Wei Jingyuan turned around and saw Tao Qiuyi's smug look. He walked over to her and looked at her speechlessly and helplessly.

"You're teasing Xiaoshun again." Wei Jingyuan's tone was filled with doting that he himself didn't even notice.

Holding his arm, Tao Qiuyi whispered, "Tease Xiaoshun is fun, don't you think?"

"I don't think so, but as long as you have fun." Wei Jingyuan answered seriously.

He didn't think teasing Xiaoshun was fun, but as long as she was having fun, that was all. This sentence made Tao Qiuyi smile immediately, and the more she looked at the man beside her, the more satisfied she became.

Xiaoshun closed the door and led the two of them to the table in the inner room and sat them down. He took out two white porcelain cups and poured them a glass of water each.

Tao Qiuyi sat next to Wei Jingyuan, leaning towards him quietly, and asked in a low voice: "Have you met Mr. Qi?"

"No." Wei Jingyuan shook his head, remembering what Mr. Qi said about him protecting so many people. He then said uncertainly, "Maybe Mr. Qi has seen me before." Tao Qiuyi said with certainty, "Mr. Qi saw you when you were in the army."

"Maybe." Wei Jingyuan was really unsure, and he really had no impression of Mr. Qi.

"He also said you're a hero." Tao Qiuyi looked at him with a smile. He was a hero, and she was the hero's wife. No, they hadn't gotten a marriage certificate yet, so she was at most the hero's fiancée.

Wei Jingyuan raised an eyebrow, suddenly remembering that she had once said he was a hero. Looking at the little woman leaning on his arm, something in his heart was about to burst out.

"Sister Tao, Brother-in-law Tao, sorry for the long wait." Xiaoshun walked in with a wooden basin in both hands. There were a dozen white flour buns in the basin.

After putting the wooden basin on the table, Xiaoshun went out to get the dishes and chopsticks.

When he came back, Mr. Qi was carrying a pot of cabbage stewed with tofu. He walked in front of Xiaoshun and said with a smile, "I was so happy when Xiaoshun came back and told me that you were coming to dinner."

"It's just that time is a bit tight, so I can only prepare some simple food. Don't mind."

"Mr. Qi, you're too polite." Tao Qiuyi stood up and said with a smile, "It was a last-minute decision to come to your place for dinner. It was us who were abrupt."

Then he stood up and Wei Jingyuan echoed, "Yes, we were the ones who disturbed you."

"Of course not. We, grandparents and grandchildren, are so happy that you two are willing to come and have dinner with us." Putting the dish basin on the table, Grandpa Qi invited the two to sit down.

After Xiaoshun divided the dishes and chopsticks, he sat obediently next to his grandfather and picked up a steamed bun and put it in his grandfather's bowl first.

Watching his actions, Wei Jingyuan seemed to understand why Tao Qiuyi called him Xiaoshun. Xiaoshun was young, but very sensible, and was truly filial to his grandfather.

After a happy meal, Mr. Qi pulled a cart out to load the waste.

Tao Qiuyi pulled out a half-sized bamboo tube from his pocket and handed it to Xiaoshun. "After you finish this bottle, you and your grandfather will definitely be healthier and stronger than most people."

"You don't have to eat it anymore."

"Thank you, Sister Tao." Xiaoshun didn't be polite to Tao Qiuyi. Instead, he happily took it and held it carefully.

"You're welcome." Tao Qiuyi stood up and said to Wei Jingyuan, "It's getting late. We still have to go buy medicine for Huang Hao. We should go now."

"Sister Tao, you are leaving." Xiao Shun stood up and looked at Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan with reluctance.

Tao Qiuyi didn't say anything. Wei Jingyuan reached out and patted Xiaoshun's shoulder. "Well, we should go now. Your grandfather isn't home. You should take good care of the house."

"I will." Xiaoshun nodded heavily.

While Wei Jingyuan and Xiaoshun were talking, Tao Qiuyi dug out a bag of white flour from the pile of items dumped from the cart. He waved to Xiaoshun, "Come here, filial son, take it back to the house and hide it."

Xiaoshun and Wei Jingyuan walked over together and saw that it was a bag of white flour. Xiaoshun waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, Sister Tao, I can't have it."

"Where did you get the flour?" Wei Jingyuan asked Tao Qiuyi in a low voice after taking a look at the flour.

"We found it in that room." Knowing he would ask, Tao Qiuyi had already figured out the origins of the flour. She looked at Xiaoshun, "Don't think we took something we shouldn't have."

"After those people searched the yard, everything in it was considered waste. If I hadn't discovered this bag of flour, but it had been found by those people, it would have fallen into their hands."

Xiaoshun's face was full of confusion because he knew the truth that Sister Tao said.
