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

"I don't have anything to do right now, so I'd like to go as soon as possible."

Lin Xingyuan looked at Xia Yichu nervously, afraid that she would become suspicious.

Xia Yichu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you can take a few bottles of loquat syrup to Kyoto for Grandpa, Grandpa Zhou and my two sisters-in-law."

Yesterday's loquat syrup was made into nineteen bottles, which Grandpa, his two sisters-in-law, and Grandpa and Grandma Zhou all need. I'll give each of them one bottle first, and then see if anyone is still selling loquats in the next few days, so I can buy more to make more syrup.

See if Qiu Hong or Qiu Yue are free; if they are, ask them to come and help. If they are not free, she can pay Jiang Meixiang to help.

"it is good"

Lin Xingyuan breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, Xia Yichu didn't suspect anything.

"By the way, brother, are you going by plane?"

Xia Yichu wanted her older brother to fly there, but she was afraid he wouldn't be willing to spend the money on the plane ticket.

"Yes, Shi Zhou will send someone to pick me up tomorrow."

Xia Yichu looked at Lin Xingyuan in surprise. She thought her older brother would say he wanted to take the train. Xia Zhiqian had bought the plane ticket back to Pengcheng a few days ago. Pei Shizhou wanted to buy it, but her uncle wouldn't allow it.

"Okay, then I'll go to Uncle Wu's house tomorrow and bring them a few bottles of loquat syrup."

Xia Yichu didn't think too much about it. After speaking, she took a bag and put five bottles of loquat syrup in it. She wrapped each bottle with several sheets of paper to prevent them from bumping into each other.

Lin Xingyuan smiled as he watched his sister's skillful movements and said, "You've prepared quite thoroughly."

Xia Yichu looked up and smiled playfully: "Of course, this loquat syrup is a good thing, you can't afford to bump or knock it."

Lin Xingyuan nodded, "You're right. You've worked so hard to get this done. Be careful on your way to Uncle Wu's house tomorrow."

"I know, big brother, I'm not a child anymore." Xia Yichu waved his hand dismissively.

The next morning, Lin Xingyuan took the two sets of clothes he had packed the day before. Song Qihang was already waiting at the door, and Xia Yichu handed Lin Xingyuan a bag containing loquat syrup.

"Brother, remember to give me a call when you get to Kyoto."

"Don't worry, I will. Take good care of yourself at home."

After Lin Xingyuan finished speaking, he walked out. Xia Yichu went out to see him off and also greeted Song Qihang.

"Manager Song, thank you for your help."

"Miss Xia, it's no trouble at all. We'll be going now."

Song Qihang was happy to serve Xia Yichu, who was his future boss's wife. President Pei had said that whenever Miss Xia called him, no matter what work he was doing, he had to drop everything and immediately obey Miss Xia's orders.

"Okay, slow down."

Watching the car drive away, Xia Yichu turned around and went home to have breakfast. Breakfast consisted of meat buns that Lin Xingyuan had made yesterday, as well as millet porridge that he had cooked.

After eating breakfast and washing the dishes, Xia Yichu took eight bottles of loquat syrup out the door; there were still six bottles left at home.

When Xia Yichu arrived at Wu Mingli's house, she raised her hand to knock on the door. Since it was Sunday and there was still time, Xia Yichu hadn't called Wu Mingli beforehand.

After a while, the door opened, and it was Wu's nanny who opened it.

"Miss Xia, come in quickly."

The nanny beckoned Xia Yichu in and tried to take the things Xia Yichu was carrying, but Xia Yichu dodged her.

"Aunt Wang, this bag is a bit heavy; it contains several bottles of loquat syrup. I can carry it myself. By the way, are Uncle Wu and Sister Wanrou home?"

"It's alright, I'll take it. I'm strong enough. The district chief isn't here, but his wife is."

The nanny enthusiastically took the bag from Xia Yichu's hands; it was indeed quite heavy. However, it was manageable for her, given her busy work schedule. Afraid of dropping or breaking anything, she supported the bottom with her other hand.

Xia Yichu, a delicate girl, looked like she lifted it easily, but it was actually quite heavy. The Wu family valued Xia Yichu, and Xia Yichu knew how to behave appropriately; the nanny treated her very warmly.

Knowing it was loquat syrup, the nanny, afraid of breaking it, gently placed it on the table. After putting it away, she turned to ask Xia Yichu.

"Miss Xia, what would you like to drink?"

"Just a glass of water will do, thank you."

Xia Yichu glanced around but didn't see Chen Wanrou or Jiaojiao.

"Okay, please have a seat. I'll go get you some water. Madam and Miss are practicing the piano upstairs. I'll go up and call them in a bit."

"Aunt Wang, I want to go upstairs and find Jiaojiao and Sister Wanrou myself now."

"Alright"

Anyway, Xia Yichu knew the place well, so the nanny had no worries.

Xia Yichu tiptoed upstairs, and before she even reached the practice room, she heard Wanrou and Wu Jiaojiao playing the piano.

Chen Wanrou's elegant fingering danced across the piano keys, while Wu Jiaojiao earnestly imitated her, though her rhythm was occasionally a little off.

Xia Yichu stood quietly at the door, not wanting to disturb them. Only when the music ended did Xia Yichu gently knock on the door.

"Please come in."

When Chen Wanrou's voice came out, she thought it was the nanny, Sister Wang.

Xia Yichu walked in, smiling, and said, "Sister Wanrou, Jiaojiao."

Wu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she saw Xia Yichu, and she jumped off the piano bench.

"Sister, come and play with me. Mom, I don't want to practice piano today. Can I have my sister play with me for a while?"

Wanrou also stood up, smiling as she said, "Okay, but you must practice for a full hour tomorrow morning."

Xiao Chu, you play with Jiao Jiao for a while. Stay home for lunch; I'll go downstairs to see if Sister Wang has gone to buy groceries.

"Sister Wanrou, no need, I have something to do later. I made some loquat syrup a few days ago and brought a few bottles over for you. I'll play with Jiaojiao for a while and then go back."

"Sister, would you like to stay for dinner?"

Wu Jiaojiao tugged at Xia Yichu and acted coquettishly; she really liked it when Xia Yichu came to her house.

"Since you're already here, how can you go back without eating? If you don't stay for a meal, I won't dare accept your loquat syrup."

If your Uncle Wu knew that you brought me loquat syrup all the way here, and I didn't even give you a bite to eat, he would blame me, and I would feel really bad about it myself.

After Chen Wanrou said so much, and seeing Wu Jiaojiao's expectant eyes, Xia Yichu softened and said, "Okay, I'll stay for dinner."

Wu Jiaojiao jumped up happily and pulled Xia Yichu to go play.

"Jiaojiao, you go play first, I want to say a few words to my sister."

Chen Wanrou thought about how her husband had been so busy and stressed these past two days because of Xia Guoan's matter, and wanted to say a few words of comfort to Xia Yichu.

"Okay, Mom, don't talk to your sister too much."

"Okay, walk slowly, don't fall."

After Wu Jiaojiao had run far away, Chen Wanrou spoke up: "Xiao Chu, don't worry too much about your father."

Xia Yichu was stunned for a moment before she realized that Chen Wanrou was talking about Xia Guoan.

"Wanrou, what's wrong with Xia Guoan?"

"Xiao Chu, don't you know?"

Xia Yichu shook her head. Chen Wanrou knew she was in trouble; she had said something she shouldn't have. No wonder Xia Yichu didn't seem worried at all.

Since things had come to this, Chen Wanrou had no reason to hide anything anymore and continued, "Your father has been missing for two or three days now."

Wu Mingli didn't say much to Chen Wanrou, only that Xia Guoan might be arrested by the spy Bai Ge.

"Oh, Sister Wanrou, I'm going to play with Jiaojiao now."

After saying that, Xia Yichu went to find Jiaojiao. Chen Wanrou couldn't tell what Xia Yichu was thinking, and didn't know if she was worried about Xia Guoan's safety.
