I heard that God likes me

Chapter 162 His seven pearl sticks are used to summon the little daughter-in-law~
Xia Qiao opened the closet, and what she saw was full of clothes, from small to large, neatly arranged.

There are better styles for adults.

She took out her blue and white school uniform, glanced at the school's logo, and whispered, "Is it from No. [-] Middle School?"

The school uniform is a bit old, washed a little white.

It has been preserved for so many years.

Xia Qiao was still picking up her clothes, reached out and took out a black sweater, and compared it to her body, it was much bigger, it should be suitable for Ji Huai to wear.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and she ran to open it.

It's Ji Meng.

"Hello, aunt." Xia Qiaote said politely.

Ji Meng smiled kindly, "Qiaoqiao, warm milk, have a cup."

Xia Qiao thanked her and drank the milk in small sips.

"I'm worried that you won't be used to living here, so I'll come here to chat with you." Ji Meng greeted Xia Qiao to sit on the sofa, and looked up at the layout of the environment, "Tsk, my Ah Huai is a middle school student."

Posters all over the wall, with a strong sense of age.

There are also some SpongeBob stickers on the table.

"Don't look at him now. He's deserted. He was naughty when he was a child. The little girls next door liked to play with him. He didn't want to bring them, so he threw bugs at their feet, scaring several little girls to cry and make trouble. Parents They all came to the door with their knives in hand."

Ji Meng stood up and rummaged in the drawer, looking for a photo album.

The corners of Xia Qiao's eyes were bent into a lovely crescent shape, she was still drinking milk, her mouth was covered with a layer of milky white, as if she had grown a small white beard, she still looked cute.

"When I got older, when Ah Heng came, the two of them became inseparable, and they both wore the same pair of pants. The two brothers fought mischievously and made trouble together."

Holding the photo album, Ji Meng sat next to Xia Qiao, and opened the photo album with a slightly yellowed and faded cover.

One photo after another fell into my eyes.

Most of them are group photos of two boys, facing the camera, smiling brighter than sunflowers.

Xia Qiao recognized Ji Huai at a glance. He was still childish and wearing a SpongeBob SquarePants suit, yellow and bright, very energetic and cute.

"They are good at everything, but they have a stubborn temper. If they decide on one thing, they will go all the way to the end. They are more stubborn than cows. They can't be pulled back no matter how hard they are pulled." Ji Meng's fingers touched the photo lightly, and her eyes were full A little lonely, "With such a temper, I don't know whether to say good or bad..."

Xia Qiao was silent.

Ji Meng realized that the topic was too heavy, and closed the album, "Qiaoqiao, Ahuai was raised by my aunt, and I have a thousand ways to overcome him. If he bullies you one day, you tell me, I will Treat him well."

Xia Qiao smiled, the corners of her mouth curled up, "You didn't bully me."

"Tsk, where did that kid find the treasure?" Ji Meng reached out and pinched Xia Qiao's face lightly, "How did you find such a cute little wife like you?"

When Xia Qiao heard "little daughter-in-law", she was a little embarrassed, and her little face was covered with pink bumps.

"aunt."

"how?"

"Thank you." Xia Qiao said sincerely.

"Thank you?" Ji Meng frowned.

"Thank you for always supporting him," Xia Qiao said.

"Young people, there are a lot of youth to be willful, he likes, let him go." Ji Meng leaned lazily on the sofa, looking up at the superhero stickers on the ceiling, "I always think, he If I run into a wall, I will turn back, but I never thought that he would be able to thrive and create a small world."

"Some dreams seem far away, but step by step, one day they will reach the end." Xia Qiao still held the black sweater in his arms, "Thank you for giving him the opportunity to pursue his dream."

In the pursuit of dreams, not everyone can spread their wings and fly high, and many people can only lose their wings in the ups and downs.

"I said, he's stubborn." Ji Meng raised her hand and rubbed the center of her brows, "Especially in adolescence, it's really a lot of worrying, and he looks like a social hooligan. I bought all the rattan sticks, and I'm going to put that The boy's leg was broken, but unexpectedly, he suddenly changed into a different person."

Xia Qiao asked curiously, "Why did it change?"

"It's just strange suddenly. I usually hide cigarettes in my pockets, and then they turned into a pile of pearl sticks for no reason." Ji Meng still didn't understand it, and murmured, "I thought he was reborn through soul wear, and changed in a second. Become an obedient student, don't smoke or drink, study hard at night, and gradually become a first-class eugenic student."

"Don't tell me, he's not an asshole. I have a bright face at the parent-teacher meeting, and several parents have asked me for teaching methods." Ji Meng's eyebrows and eyes stretched, her tone of voice rose, and she smiled very much.

"Pearl stick?" Xia Qiao frowned.

"Yes, there are still seven pearl sticks in his room now." Ji Meng quickly broke the news, and said in a low voice, "It's very precious, it has expired after seven or eight years, and it is still being offered. I wonder if it was opened. Overlight."

Xia Qiao's mind was a little fuzzy.

"What's even more frightening is that the pearl stick is still the grape flavor he hates the most." Ji Meng continued to complain, "That kid is extremely expensive, and the most special thing is that he doesn't eat carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, or sour and bitter milk. I can't stand the taste of grapes, it's sour and unpalatable."

Xia Qiao, who has always felt that grapes smell very fragrant: "..."

"I was thinking about punishing this picky kid, but he suddenly changed his temperament and became a top student, tsk, and he has his own halo." Ji Meng muttered softly, "Speak, let's get together One dragon ball can summon a little dragon, he gathered seven pearl sticks, what is he going to summon?"

Xia Qiao lowered her head, covered her mouth and smiled.

Well, why is the senior so cute?

Later, they learned that Ji Huai's seven grape-flavored pearl sticks were used to summon his daughter-in-law.

"I think it's getting late, Qiaoqiao, you should go to bed early." Ji Meng added WeChat to Xiaqiao, and said very sweetly, "If you really can't sleep, send WeChat to aunt, and aunt will accompany you to cure insomnia."

Xia Qiao politely thanked again.

"aunt."

"Hey."

"This dress is so big, it just...fits Ji Huai." Xia Qiao spread out the sweater in her arms, held it up to Ji Meng, and asked curiously, "It seems that it was specially prepared for him?"

He left home at 13 and there was no reason to have clothes that big.

Ji Meng glanced at the black clothes, her eyes darkened slightly, "My sister-in-law bought them, and I buy several sets every year and put them in the closet."

Xia Qiao's heart seemed to have been gouged out, and she was a little speechless.

"I just said, they are all stubborn, there is no irresolvable gap in the family." Ji Meng took the sweater over and looked at it for a while, "Sister-in-law is relatively indifferent on the surface, but she grasps every detail very minutely. She has to buy clothes every year, and to know how old and tall he is, she just watched him grow up."

"Besides, she secretly seals the red envelopes every year, and hides all the lucky money red envelopes one by one. She prepares birthday gifts every year, but never handed them over."

Ji Meng sighed lightly, "They are all hard-spoken and soft-hearted."

At this time, a silhouette fell from the corridor outside the door.

Ms. Zhang leaned against the wall weakly, and gently raised her hand to wipe away the moisture from the corners of her eyes.

Dreams can be pursued, but why pay the price of life?

Why……

Xia Qiao hugged the sweater and thought for a long time alone.

That night, a sleepless night.

The next day, Xiaqiao got up earlier than the chicken.

She gets up early to cook porridge, fry eggs, stir-fry vegetables, and prepare a hearty breakfast.

Ms. Zhang also woke up early, heard the movement in the kitchen, and came over to have a look.

There was a busy figure in the kitchen. Even in an unfamiliar environment, the little girl's movements were very neat, and it seemed that she often cooked.

The little girl is very, very virtuous.

Ms. Zhang has fantasized about Ji Huai's other half countless times.

Although she has a stubborn personality, she still can't help but look for every bit of Ji Huai on the Internet.

She even registered a small account and quietly watched Ji Huai's live broadcast, just for a few minutes, which was very short.

She occasionally scrolls through posts. Many players in the e-sports circle have bad tempers, and they speak inexplicably a little aggressively.

The main reason is that they all like to find some Internet celebrities to be their girlfriends, and it doesn't last long, and they quickly change one after another.

Ms. Zhang has always been very nervous, always worried that under such an environment, Ji Huai would become a prodigal son playing with feelings.

Now, looking at the well-behaved and sensible little girl, she has let go of her hanging heart.

His eyesight is excellent.

Xia Qiao was busy going to the refrigerator to get eggs, and when she turned around, she saw Ms. Zhang leaning on the door frame.

"Good morning, auntie." Xia Qiao asked a little embarrassedly, "Did I make too much noise and disturb you?"

Ms. Zhang had a gentle smile on her face, "I always wake up early."

Xia Qiao replied with a polite smile, "Then you can wait a moment, the porridge will be ready in 10 minutes, I will hurry..."

"Let me help you." Ms. Zhang interrupted.

Xia Qiao was stunned for a while, and then nodded after a few seconds, "Okay."

With the addition of Ms. Zhang in the kitchen, Xia Qiao began to become a little cautious.

"Do housework often?" Seeing her unnaturalness, Ms. Zhang took the initiative to break the silence.

"It's okay." Xia Qiao replied in a low voice, "My brother is not busy, he will do it all."

"There is an older brother, two brothers and sisters, right?" Ms. Zhang said softly, chatting about family affairs, "Where are the parents, what do they do?"

Xia Qiao's movements of washing the dishes were slightly condensed, her long curly eyelashes drooped slightly, and the sadness in her eyes was suppressed, and she answered in a softer voice, "They...are not here anymore."

Ms. Zhang paused, and immediately apologized, "Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

It's just that I have nothing to talk about. I found a topic, but I didn't want to step into the pit.

"It's okay." Xia Qiao turned her head, with a smile on her face, and said generously, "Auntie, don't worry about it."

Ms. Zhang looked at the polite and considerate little girl, and her heart was soft and warm.

Xia Qiao was picking the leaves neatly, with a faint look of loneliness on her body.

Obviously hit the pain point, but smiled and said it's okay.

Such a little girl is really distressing.

Ms. Zhang saw everything in her eyes, and vaguely saw the hardships and bitterness behind the growth of the brother and sister.

Her dumplings are well made, and she always mentions the help of her neighbors when chatting, Grandma Liu next door, Uncle Chen Ershu, Aunt Zhang, etc.

"Qiaoqiao." Ms. Zhang called out.

"Huh?" Xia Qiao was stunned again.

She doesn't usually call her so affectionately.

"I didn't seem to learn how to make the dumplings yesterday." Ms. Zhang said a little annoyed.

"Auntie wrapped it well." Xia Qiao said honestly.

Ms. Zhang smiled and said directly, "You can teach me another day."

This……

Xia Qiao understood, and nodded excitedly like a chicken pecking rice, "Okay, okay."

Early in the morning, the smell in the kitchen was really fragrant.

Lao Ji and Ji Meng are already waiting to be fed.

"Qiaoqiao, are you so diligent?" Ji Meng was still yawning, pulled Xia Qiao aside, and asked secretly, "Tell me, did Ji Huai bully you?"

"Huh?" Xia Qiao had an innocent face, and quickly denied, "No, he was very kind to me."

"Have you been lowered by him?" Ji Meng hurriedly educated her earnestly, "Don't be deceived by his face."

Xia Qiao: "..."

"You're better off." Ji Meng hated iron for being weak, "Our women in Ji's family don't cook!"

Xia Qiao didn't dare to speak anymore.

After breakfast, Xia Qiao was about to leave.

The blizzard has passed and there are no excuses left.

"Don't you want to stay for two more days?" Ji Meng will never grow up, she likes Xia Qiao just by looking at her, and wants to abduct her home every minute.

Xia Qiao was in a dilemma, and explained, "Auntie, I'm sorry, today is my brother's birthday..."

When Ji Meng heard this, she immediately gave up trying to persuade her, "Okay, I'll find a driver to take you off."

Thanks to both Ji's father and Ji's mother, before leaving, Xia Qiao struggled a bit, but still took out the tickets for the international competition in her schoolbag.

"Uncle and aunt, I know this is presumptuous, but... can you please think about it?"

Xia Qiao handed over the tickets with both hands, her eyes gleaming, "He has been moving forward, but he has never forgotten you."

"He told me that my uncle likes to collect famous paintings and eat rice dumplings made by my aunt. It is best to add mung beans and peanuts to salt water rice dumplings."

"He also said that my aunt likes flowery skirts, she likes to buy them, but she is reluctant to wear them. She especially likes to eat snail noodles and stinky tofu. In winter, my aunt needs to keep warm when she is cold."

"He remembers everything about you, and he never slacks off."

"He loves e-sports, but he loves you as well." Xia Qiao took a deep breath, "Your support and affirmation are very important to him, so... can you please think about it?"

silence.

There was a dead silence in the air.

Xia Qiao was still holding the ticket, but no one picked it up, and no one spoke.

After a while, Ji Meng realized that she wanted to step forward, but it was too late.

Lao Ji reached out and pulled the ticket in Xia Qiao's hand, crumpled it into a paper ball, and threw it neatly into the trash can.

"Little girl, go back." Lao Ji's complexion was not very good, and his tone was not so soft.

Xia Qiao murmured in a low voice, "E-sports is not a neglected job. Some people live and die for it. It is worthy of every love and dedication..."

Distant dreams are out of reach, many times, because of prejudice.

No one speaks.

Ji Meng stepped forward wisely and broke the deadlock.

Xia Qiao failed and returned.

That night, Ms. Zhang quietly picked up the tickets thrown into the trash can in the silence of the night.

As she searched, she shed tears.

Xia Qiao returned to the imperial capital that day, and started to prepare longevity noodles for Ye Qi's birthday.

"Ye Shen, what day is it today?" Jian Shu deliberately blocked Ye Qi.

Ye Qi scratched her head, as straightforward as ever, "There are still four days left before the competition."

Jian Shu: "..."
