Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

Huang Shaomin was having a terrible time, while Xia Yichu was having a very comfortable time.

She cooked two meals a day for her uncle and aunt, and her uncle's appetite improved more and more.

"Xiao Chu has been here for seven or eight days, and I feel like I've gained a little weight. Everything tastes delicious to me."

Lin Weinan went to the kitchen and scooped out another bowl of rice, filled with emotion. If his conditions weren't so poor, he would have wanted his niece to stay.

"How can you not gain weight? I bought 20 jin of rice with Aunt Li, and then we bought another 10 jin, half of which ended up in your stomach. You should have someone buy 20 jin of rice for us tomorrow."

Wang Liujie was overjoyed to see her husband eating well. Before, she had always worried that he had a health problem because he couldn't eat. Now that everything was alright, she could finally relax. Her appetite had also been good these past few days, and she slept soundly through the night.

"Okay, Xiao Chu, what do you want to eat? Your uncle will have someone from the army buy it for you tomorrow."

The couple was too busy to go shopping themselves, so they had to ask someone else to help them. They didn't feel comfortable letting Xia Yichu go herself.

Before Xia Yichu could speak, a loud voice came from outside, the voice preceding the person.

"Brother Lin, I've arrived."

"Liu Jie, quick, go and hide the loquat syrup in the house."

Before Wang Liujie could react, the person outside had already walked in.

"Sister-in-law, dinner's ready! Our niece is growing more and more beautiful; she really does blossom into a beautiful young woman. Xiao Chu, do you remember me?"

He wasn't talking nonsense; Xia Yichu looked much better than last time.

"Commander Zhou, have you eaten? Would you like some more?" Wang Liujie stood up and asked politely.

"I remember, hello Uncle Zhou."

Xia Yichu also stood up to greet them, just like her aunt, while Lin Weinan remained seated.

"Hello, sister-in-law, then I won't stand on ceremony and will have some."

Wang Liujie went in to scoop rice, and Xia Yichu followed her in to help get chopsticks.

"You're really making a scene. What brings you to my house at this hour?"

Lin Weinan recalled that a few days ago, his niece had come to his office to talk to him about something. He was making loquat syrup, which his niece had brought him, and decided to make him a cup as well.

After he finished his business, he casually took his loquat syrup, which was the first time he had ever made loquat syrup.

"Brother Lin, I've come to see my niece."

"Commander Zhou, come here."

Fortunately, Xia Yichu saw that his uncle had been eating so much these past few days and was worried that he wasn't getting enough to eat, so she cooked a lot of rice and vegetables.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. This dish looks very appetizing. Did Xiao Chu cook it?"

Actually, they are all home-style dishes: braised pork belly with potatoes, stir-fried eggplant with minced meat, a green vegetable dish, and a bone and cucumber soup.

"Xiao Chu cooked it. My husband and I are too busy to cook."

Commander Zhou knew that, like him and his wife, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to cook and had to eat in the canteen.

"Delicious, Brother Lin, eat up, why are you looking at me?"

Wang Liujie kicked her husband. Although they had a life-or-death relationship, he was still his boss and gave her some face.

Feeling wronged after being kicked, Lin Weinan lowered his head and ate his food, which no longer tasted good.

Before long, everyone was full, and all the dishes were gone. Xia Yichu and Wang Liujie cleared away the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them; Lin Weinan had washed them before. He was busy tonight, keeping an eye on Zhou Qiangguo.

"By the way, how old is Xiao Chu this year?"

Commander Zhou patted his round belly; he had just eaten in the mess hall. Here, he had eaten two bowls of rice and a bowl of soup; the food was so delicious that he was stuffed.

"Zhou Qiangguo, what are you trying to do? Your youngest son is already in his mid-twenties, while my Xiao Chu is only nineteen."

Lin Weinan excitedly slammed his hand on the table, startling Wang Liujie and Xia Yichu, who ran out of the kitchen to see what was happening.

"Lin Weinan, you're being foolish again."

"Sister-in-law, it's alright. This isn't the first time Brother Lin has slammed his fist on the table at me."

Lin Weinan was a soldier he had trained; he had been under Lin Weinan's command since Zhou Qiangguo first joined the army. Over the past twenty years, Zhou Qiangguo had been verbally abused by Lin Weinan several times, and he was used to it.

"Little Aunt"

"It's alright, we'll go in and wash the dishes. They've always done it this way. Your uncle was almost discharged from the army once because of Commander Zhou's matter."

Anyway, don't let their current situation fool you. They've been through thick and thin together several times. My relationship with your uncle might not even be as strong as theirs.

She wasn't at home, afraid they'd start arguing there; if they were in the office, she wouldn't even bother with them.

"Brother Lin, you've misunderstood. Xiao Hu has a girlfriend. I know a very outstanding person I'd like to introduce to our niece. He happens to be coming over here these next couple of days."

"No need, Xiao Chu is only nineteen, there's no rush." ​​Lin Weinan's tone softened upon hearing this.

"Yes, I was wrong. Xiao Chu is beautiful, cooks well, and is highly educated. She won't have to worry about getting married in the future."

Lin Weinan nodded in agreement. Seeing that he was happy, Zhou Qiangguo immediately explained the purpose of his visit.

"Brother Lin, do you have any loquat syrup left at home?"

Zhou Qiangguo didn't want to be so shameless as to visit them, but the loquat syrup was not only delicious, but it also soothed his throat. He was a heavy smoker who couldn't quit, and his throat was always full of phlegm and uncomfortable.

Since drinking the loquat syrup I got from Lin Weinan, my throat has been clear and comfortable for the past few days. Yesterday I asked Lin Weinan for some more, but he said he didn't have any, so I came to ask him for it myself today.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday? No, it's getting late, you should go home quickly."

After Lin Weinan finished speaking, he stood up and reached out to pull Zhou Qiangguo away, but Zhou Qiangguo grabbed the table with one hand and refused to leave.

"I'm not leaving, I still have things to do."

"We can talk about it tomorrow."

"I want a bottle of loquat syrup. I'll leave as soon as I get it. I'll return the Beijing Eight Delicacies you gave me tomorrow. I haven't eaten the Beijing Eight Delicacies yet. I just want the loquat syrup that Xiao Chu made herself."

That's so unfair of you! Don't give me fancy gifts in the future; I prefer simple and understated things.

Lin Weinan continued to hold his hand and said, "Zhou Qiangguo, how come I never realized you were so shameless?"

"Oh, right, I also brought a gift for Xiao Chu. Really, it's in my pocket. Xiao Chu, come out, I have a present for you."

Wang Liujie and Xia Yichu finished washing the dishes and stayed in the kitchen watching the two of them argue. They only came out when Zhou Qiangguo called her.

"You really brought it."

"Really, let me go, I'll show you."

Why didn't you say so sooner?

Zhou Qiangguo himself had forgotten that he had been thinking about how to get a few more bottles of loquat syrup from Lin Weinan and had completely forgotten about this matter.

"See, I didn't lie to you!"

Lin Weinan looked at the box, which was no more than 15 centimeters long and no more than 8 centimeters wide, with a bit of disdain. However, something was better than nothing.

I reached out, took it, and opened it. Inside were a gold necklace and a gold bracelet, which appeared to be a pair. The gift was alright, passable enough.

"Xiao Chu, take this. It's a gift from your Uncle Zhou." Lin Weinan handed it to Xia Yichu, gesturing for her to accept it.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou."

"Xiao Chu, Uncle Zhou doesn't need anything else, just give me four bottles of loquat syrup."

"Zhou Qiangguo, have you no shame? You actually asked a junior for something."

Wang Liujie took out two bottles of loquat syrup and gave them to Zhou Qiangguo. Xiao Chu had accepted his gift, so it wouldn't be right not to reciprocate.

"Sister-in-law, are there only two bottles? Can't you give me two more?"

"Give it back to me if you think it's too little."

Lin Weinan tried to snatch it back, but Zhou Qiangguo immediately ran away, saying, "Never mind, I'll come back for it after I finish drinking it in a few days."

"Uncle, when is my brother coming back?"

"It's hard to say. It was supposed to be in the next couple of days, but something came up and I don't know when I'll be back."

"In that case, I'll be going back to Shenzhen in a couple of days."

She wanted to go back to see Liu Yaohui; it had been a month, and she wondered how much money he had lost. She also needed to make a trip to Beijing. Chen Shaoping's revenge was complete; only the Liu family remained.

"Alright, there's nothing fun here. I'll take tomorrow off and take you to the provincial capital to buy things."

"I'll go too."

They had all taken leave when they came back, and they were worried that Xia Yichu would be going back, so they hadn't taken her shopping yet.

On the second day after she arrived, Wang Liujie was supposed to take her shopping for clothes, but there was an emergency surgery that required her, so they couldn't go that day.

"Uncle and Aunt, I don't need anything, I don't need to buy anything."

"Since you've come all this way, we definitely want to buy you something. I'll go ask for leave and borrow a car from the team now."

"I need to ask for leave in advance. I'll buy you more clothes tomorrow."

After the two left, Xia Yichu sighed. Her aunt sent her a lot of things and money every year.
