Chapter 1012 - 1012 You Are My Biological Brother
1012 You Are My Biological Brother
Zhou Shuang and Sun Juan were very grateful to Qiao Mei for being so forthright. The rooms in Qiao Mei’s corn courtyard house were much bigger than the ones they were living in now. Each room was around 25 square meters! The kitchen and bathroom were also installed with the latest equipment on the market. Moreover, a house with floor heating was definitely much warmer and safer than one using stoves or boilers.
They never dreamed that they would have a place of their own.
“Alright, let us go back and think about it. We’ll definitely give you an answer as soon as possible!” Zhou Shuang said.
Xia He looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late. She smiled and asked, “Do you want to ask Sister Feng and your two children over for a meal? Let’s get everyone to gather together.”
“Oh no! There’s still a lot of food at home! It would go bad if we don’t finish it! We’re going home now. We’ll come and look for you another day,” Zhou Shuang said.
“You guys should rest well for the next two days. You can go back to work again at the beginning of next month,” Qiao Mei said.
“Alright, we’ll do what you say.” Thereafter, Sun Juan and Zhou Shuang headed home together.
Qiao Mei leaned back on the rocking chair again. The entire day had passed by in a daze, as if she had only blinked once and the whole day was over.
Now that she had settled the matter with the two women, it was time to have a good discussion with Qiao Yu. There was actually not much of a hurry when it came to this matter. Qiao Yu had always dreamed of taking over Li Gui’s small house, so she would let Qiao Yu stay there for a few more days until she had enough of it.
Qiao Mei returned to the bedroom to take a rest. She felt that she did not have enough rest in the afternoon and still needed to replenish her energy. Xia He paced around the courtyard nervously. It was almost time for Xia Wen to get off work and she was still not ready to explain to Xia Wen what had happened during the day.
Even if she did not explain herself, Xia Wen would still be able to find out everything for himself. Nothing could escape Xia Wen’s eyes.
“Is there something wrong with you? Why are you loitering in the courtyard on such a cold day?” Xia Wen stood at the door and looked at Xia He with some interest.
In his eyes, Xia He was like a free-range chick that kept circling the courtyard. Even the donkeys in the production team were not as diligent as her. It was such a pity that she did not engage in manual labor.
“You don’t make any sound when you walk! Don’t you know how to say something as you come in!” Xia He said as she held her chest in fear.
Xia Wen walked into the courtyard and waved his hand with a smile. “If you don’t do anything wrong, you shouldn’t be afraid that there’ll be ghosts knocking on your door. If you’re feeling so afraid of me, you must find the reason within yourself.”
“You! Are you my biological brother! Why do you always lecture me!” Xia He complained.
Xia Wen did not say anything else. He suddenly took out a package from behind him. It had the name of the most famous roast duck shop in the capital pasted on it. One could not buy a roast duck from this shop without an appointment and they only sold 50 ducks per day. Xia Wen had bought five in one go! Who knew how long he had to queue to make the purchase.
“Look at this. Aren’t I your biological brother?” Xia Wen asked with a smile.
Xia He’s eyes lit up as she excitedly took the roast duck from Xia Wen. She was so happy that she skipped on the spot. She had not eaten authentic roast duck from the capital since she got married. It was still Xia Wen who knew her taste well.
“Yes! Definitely my biological brother! I love you so much! How do you know that I want to eat roast duck!” Xia He said.
“Alright, it’s my fault! It’s just that I was angry back then… My eldest brother is definitely the nicest person!” Xia He said ingratiatingly.
“Hurry up and go cut it up. Otherwise it’ll get cold soon,” Xia Wen said.
The two of them walked straight to the backyard. As it was already mealtime, naturally they would have their dinner first. Whatever they wanted to discuss could wait until after dinner.
Qiao Mei only got up from the bed in a daze when she smelled the fragrance of food. After dressing up, she also went to the backyard. The entire family gathered together happily for a meal. Under Zheng Peng’s guidance, the four children had gradually become more sensible. It was actually very subtle and it was hard to put a finger on what had changed.
After dinner, Qiao Mei brought Li Gui and the Xia siblings to the main hall and asked Xiao An from the guard team to bring Qiao Yu over to settle the matter between them.
