Chapter 1 Rebirth
Liu Wangxue was reborn.

She remembered that she was floating in the void of the operating room, looking at the shadowless light in front of her. The second before she disappeared, she was thinking: "What should I do with my mother?"

Then, the doctor's slightly teasing words rang in my ears: "The little girl's psychological quality must be improved. She is about to become a mother. How can she be scared by anemia?"

Liu Wangxue looked at the pregnancy test form in her hand and said to the doctor, "I want to abort the baby."

Although the doctor had seen many big scenes, she was still shocked when she heard this. She couldn't understand why someone who was ecstatic about being pregnant the moment before could frown and say with disgust that she wanted to abort the baby. Was she split personality?
Based on the principle of professionalism, the doctor still informed Liu Wangxue of the relevant matters in detail.

Liu Wangxue couldn't wait to ask: "Can we do it now?"

"Well," the doctor hesitated, but he couldn't ask about the patient's privacy, nor could he make decisions on behalf of the patient. "Surgery requires an appointment."

"Okay, make an appointment now, and ask for the nearest time."

Liu Wangxue came out of the hospital and walked aimlessly, with the events of her previous life playing in her mind like a kaleidoscope.

She was a small town test-taker, but by chance she heard about how profitable the screenwriting industry was, so she worked hard to get into a top domestic university and study playwriting.

After graduation, he was forced out by the dark oppression in the industry, and had no choice but to work as a host at Shiliu Video.

The usual live broadcast content is telling stories, singing songs, and sometimes helping friends promote their Hanfu studios. Because I don't follow the crowd, the platform's promotion is extremely limited. It took more than three years to become a live broadcaster with millions of fans.

When Liu Wangxue got the ticket to the company's annual meeting, he thought it was a sign of better development in the future.

I didn't expect to meet Mu Jingsheng at the annual meeting.

Mu Jingsheng fell in love with Liu Wangxue at first sight, and after pursuing her, the two naturally became lovers.

During a live broadcast, Mu Jingsheng's voice accidentally appeared on camera, and his sweet voice when he called "Xu Xu" made his fans scream.

Afterwards, someone cut this clip and posted it online, and Liu Wangxue's live broadcast room saw a surge in views, exceeding three million.

The perfect couple, like a golden boy and a jade girl, lived together for half a year in sweet love.

The turning point of the fairy tale happened on this day in the previous life.

Liu Wangxue got the pregnancy test form and sent a message to Mu Jingsheng with a vision of family: [Are you free? I have good news to share with you~]

No reply.

She ran to Mu's office building to look for him, only to discover that her boyfriend, a clerk, had turned into a CEO with many followers.

When the president passed by her, he just glanced at her coldly, as if he were a stranger.

Later, under the bombardment of Liu Wangxue's information, the president finally condescended and agreed to a meeting. Liu Wangxue told the truth about her pregnancy, but she only got a check and a cold-blooded remark: "It's up to you whether to beat me or not, but I won't admit it."

Liu Wangxue was filled with grief and anger, and threw the check and pregnancy test report at Mu Jingsheng's face.

After returning home and calming down, she decided to give birth to the child and raise it by herself.

Soon after, news suddenly broke online that she was pregnant before marriage, and the pregnancy test report in the picture as evidence was the one she threw at Mu Jingsheng's face.

Then all kinds of dirty water were thrown at her.

None of her family and friends were spared and were attacked.

Her father was an impulsive person. After being provoked by some video bloggers who were just trying to attract attention, he got into a fight with them and died unexpectedly.

Her mother lost her lover and her hair turned white overnight.

She lost her loving father and suffered an unexpected miscarriage due to emotional stress.

When her friends came to help her, they were accused of aiding and abetting the evil. The Hanfu shop could no longer operate and eventually went bankrupt.

These things were filmed by the flies and posted online, which triggered a surge in traffic.

Every participant made a profit, and the victims' families were destroyed.

Mu Jingsheng's engagement party was the last straw.

Liu Wangxue suffered from severe depression and attempted suicide twice, but was rescued by her mother in time.

Later, seeing his mother's increasingly aging face and the fatigue in her eyes, Liu Wangxue finally agreed to cooperate with the treatment. After several years, her condition finally improved.

Once, she and her mother went out for a trip. Coincidentally, a variety show crew was filming on location. A little girl ran past her chasing a butterfly. She didn't pay attention to the road under her feet, tripped and rolled down the hillside.

Liu Wangxue subconsciously took a step forward and reached out to rescue him, but he also tripped.

The moment she rolled down, she saw Mu Jingsheng's face.

"This is my life." Liu Wangxue thought sadly as he sat beside the flower bed in the square.

What a tiring and boring life.

What a painful and regretful life.

Liu Wangxue sighed.

Now that she has a chance to start over again, what will she do?
Revenge? Slap someone in the face? Make those people
in her previous life pay the price? But ordinary people have already done their best to live their current lives. Even if they are reborn, how much energy can they have?

She clearly remembered the moment she rolled down the hill, and there was only one thought in her mind: was she finally going to be free? She was so tired.

Forget it, let's just forget it.

Liu Wangxue thought, if she had the chance to start over again and her parents were still alive, she might as well live her life happily and carefree in a small city as they wished.

No longer longing for a family, no longer wishing for children, just stay with your parents peacefully.

However, we still have to settle things with Mu Jingsheng.

Liu Wangxue took out her phone and sent Mu Jingsheng the time and place, adding: [I'm pregnant]

Yes, you have to be direct. I don't believe that you can't find him.

Sure enough, Mu Jingsheng replied immediately: [OK]

Liu Wangxue waited in the coffee shop for half an hour. Mu Jingsheng finally arrived and sat opposite her.

The two looked at each other in silence.

It was both strange and familiar. Liu Wangxue thought, perhaps this face was naturally cold and distant.

"What do you think?" Liu Wangxue asked in a calm tone.

"What do you think?" Mu Jingsheng asked back, with the emphasis on "you".

Liu Wangxue felt relieved instantly.

In her previous life, she could never understand how someone who loved her so much could change so suddenly. Every word he said became a ruthless knife, stabbing her heart.

"You have never loved me, have you?" This sentence was not asked to Mu Jingsheng, but to give an explanation to himself in the previous life.

"At that time, I needed a relationship to divert my attention," said Mu Jingsheng.

"And now?"

"Of course not."

"And the child?"

"Evidence." Mu Jingsheng obviously didn't believe that Liu Wangxue was pregnant, because every time she did this she either wore a condom or took pills.

Liu Wangxue took out the crumpled pregnancy test report and pushed it over.

Mu Jingsheng didn't even move his hands. He just glanced down, took out a pen and a check, and said as he wrote, "It's you who didn't take good contraception. It has nothing to do with me. It's up to you whether you want to take the vaccine or not. I won't admit it."

Pushing the check to Liu Wangxue, Mu Jingsheng looked at her and said, "Take this money as a breakup fee. It should be enough to support the child. I have done my best."

There is really nothing new about it, Liu Wangxue thought, it is exactly the same as in the previous life.

She gracefully put the pregnancy test form and the check into her bag, stood up, walked in front of Mu Jingsheng, smiled sweetly, and there seemed to be bright fireworks in her eyes.

The moment Mu Jingsheng was stunned, he was slapped in the face, coffee splashed all over his face, and matcha mousse hit him on the head.

He watched in astonishment as Liu Wangxue picked up the phone, held his head high, and walked away. Liu Wangxue happily went to the bank to cash the check and transferred it to her own account. Then she blocked all contact information of Mu Jingsheng and had a delicious hot pot.

It was already dark when she got home. She found the cardboard box she had used for moving, packed all of Mu Jingsheng's personal belongings and the gifts he gave her into it, and threw them into the trash can downstairs.

The air in the room became fresher.

She lay on the sofa and called her mother.

The call was connected in a second, and Gu Xuelan's friendly voice came: "Xu Xu, why aren't you live streaming today?"

Liu Nanshan was wrapping dumplings at the dining table in the living room. His powerful voice could still be clearly heard by Liu Wangxue from two or three meters away: "Your mother has become accustomed to watching your live broadcast. She even ate one less bowl of rice when you didn't broadcast today!"

It's great, the timing of my rebirth is great, Liu Wangxue thought.

"Mom, Mu Jingsheng and I broke up." When this name was mentioned again, Liu Wangxue felt no ripples in her heart.

Gu Xuelan turned on the speaker and walked to Liu Nanshan's side. The two looked at each other, and Liu Nanshan stopped making dumplings.

Gu Xuelan asked worriedly, "Why did you break up suddenly?"

Liu Wangxue thought for a moment and said, "He doesn't love me. He's just with me to kill time. Besides, he's getting engaged soon."

Liu Nanshan was so hot-tempered that he slammed the table and flour flew up into the air: "He dares! Xuxu, just wait, Dad will go find him right now and will definitely help you vent your anger!"

Liu Wangxue laughed a few times, a tear oozed out of the corner of her eye, she raised her hand to wipe it away, and said, "Oh, Dad, let's part ways in peace, forget it."

Liu Nanshan even picked up his rolling pin and said, "What do you mean by parting ways amicably? He is bullying you! How can we just let it go?"

Gu Xuelan, who has been a teacher for more than 30 years, glanced at him, and Liu Nanshan's rolling pin fell on the dumpling skin and directly crushed it.

Gu Xuelan felt that the breakup was not the point of the phone call, but she still tried to comfort him, saying, "It's okay, Xuxu. My daughter is so beautiful and successful in her career. She can find anyone she wants. Don't be sad, okay."

"Mom, I'm not sad. I just need your help with something."

Liu Nanshan stopped what he was doing and held his breath with Gu Xuelan.

Then I heard Liu Wangxue say, "I'm pregnant and want to abort the baby. Mom, I may have to trouble you to take care of me for a few days."

Liu Wangxue's light-hearted words were like a bomb, leaving his parents speechless for a long time.

Liu Nanshan slammed the rolling pin against the edge of the table, leaving a dent on the cherry wood table. "Asshole! How dare Mu Jingsheng do that! I must settle the score with him!"

"Dad, don't be angry. I just found out today, and he doesn't know yet." Liu Wangxue was afraid that his father would get angry and do something bad, so he quickly said, "Mom, please try to persuade Dad!"

She really didn't know that her father would react so strongly. After all, her father was no longer around when she had an accidental miscarriage in her previous life.

"Calm down. Didn't you hear that your daughter is getting anxious?" Gu Xuelan pressed down Liu Nanshan's hand and said to Liu Wangxue, "Xuxu, I'll book a flight right away and go there with your dad. Before we get there, you stay at home and don't do anything. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Mom. I'll book the tickets later." Liu Wangxue breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll wait for you at home."

"Promise!"

"I promise!"

The next afternoon, Liu Wangxue drove to the airport to pick up her parents.

As soon as Gu Xuelan entered the room, she found that a lot of things were missing from the room. They all belonged to Mu Jingsheng. She asked, "Xuxu, did you really break up?"

Liu Wangxue hugged her mother affectionately, without any sadness or loneliness after the breakup on her face, which made Gu Xuelan a little unbelievable.

"We've broken up. It couldn't be more true!" Liu Wangxue smiled and nodded, then said, "Mom and Dad, please sit down first. I'll go wash some fruit."

Gu Xuelan looked at Liu Wangxue's back, poked Liu Nanshan with her slender fingers, frowned slightly, and whispered, "I think there's something wrong with her. How can she be so happy after breaking up?"

Gu Xuelan knew very well how sentimental her daughter was. She had a relationship in college, and after the breakup, she cried for half a month before she recovered.

Liu Nanshan was of the opinion that as long as his daughter was happy, everything would be fine: "I've long felt that Mu Jingsheng was unreliable, and it's better for us to break up." He was determined to find an opportunity to teach that boy a lesson.

Liu Nanshan took out the insulated box from his travel bag and shouted cheerfully to the kitchen, "Xuxu, stop doing that. Come here. Dad made some dumplings yesterday. He steamed them before we left. They're still hot. Come and try some."

"Coming!" Liu Wangxue responded happily, walking over with a plate of small kumquats in her left hand and a plate of large strawberries in her right hand.

Gu Xuelan took it and put it on the table. Liu Nanshan quickly handed the chopsticks to his daughter and took out a small box of dipping sauce.

Liu Wangxue ate them one by one, feeling very satisfied, and praised vaguely: "Dad's cooking skills are great!"

The couple looked at him lovingly, and Liu Nanshan said cheerfully, "Eat more. Dad will be here during this period. I'll make you some every day if you want to eat."

Liu Wangxue was so happy that she was about to burst into bubbles: "Dad, you eat fruit, Mom, you eat too."

Gu Xuelan tried one of each and didn't like it very much: "These fruits are not in season now, and they don't taste like they used to."

Liu Nanshan also felt that: "Yes, the tomatoes are getting worse and worse. When I was a kid, we grew our own tomatoes. They were sandy, juicy, sour and sweet. They were so delicious."

The family of three talked about vegetables and fruits together.

After Liu Wangxue finished eating, Gu Xuelan asked, "Xuxu, have you really decided to abort this child?"

Liu Wangxue curled up on the sofa, looking sleepy after eating. She said nonchalantly, "Well, the doctor said this is the sixth week, so it's just the right time to get the shot."

Gu Xuelan looked at Liu Wangxue and said seriously, "Xuxu, abortion is very harmful to your body. You must consider it carefully. If you choose to give birth to the child, we can raise it."

Ask for a comment and collection~

Liu Nanshan was peeling a grapefruit for the mother and daughter, breaking it into small pieces and putting it in a bowl. Each of them had a bowl to eat. No matter what decision his daughter made, he would support her.

Liu Wangxue sat up straight and said seriously, "Mom, this is not a matter of money. Mu Jingsheng doesn't love me, he won't marry me, and he doesn't want this child.

I don't want my child to be born into an incomplete family. Yes, we can give him a lot of love, but this love cannot make up for the lack of a father. "

Most importantly, I don't want to have anything to do with Mu Jingsheng anymore. Under these circumstances, it would be irresponsible to give birth to the child, because I'm even more afraid that I can't give him my wholehearted love."

"I agree with Xuxu's idea," Liu Nanshan said after peeling the grapefruit and clapped his hands, "If we are going to break up, let's do it completely. I don't want my grandson to be like a scumbag in the future."

Gu Xuelan hit him with a grapefruit peel: "You are so fashionable, but you are also a scumbag."

Liu Wangxue fell on the sofa laughing.

The next morning, the couple accompanied Liu Wangxue to the hospital and underwent various examinations.

The next morning, the surgery was completed and I went home.

Liu Wangxue had already eaten something in the car and fell asleep after arriving home.

Gu Xuelan wanted to make some nourishing soup for her daughter, but some of the ingredients were not available at home, so she had to go buy them.

Liu Nanshan took the initiative to take the job: "I'll go, you watch her, and when she wakes up, ask her what she wants to eat and call me."

Liu Nanshan drove out of the community gate and stopped at the corner. Then two burly men and a young man got up.

The three men greeted Liu Nanshan warmly, the big man called him "brother" and the young man called him "uncle".

Liu Nanshan responded one by one.

The three of them are from Liu Nanshan's hometown and are working in Hai City.

The car drove into the parking lot of Mu's office building, and according to Taozi's instructions, found Mu Jingsheng's car and parked next to it.

Taozi asked: "Uncle, is that Mu really a junior employee? This car is a Bentley."

Daquan patted Taozi on the back of his head and said, "Are you staring at the wrong person?"

Taozi said firmly: "Uncle Quan, it must be correct. I have been watching it these past two days. He uses this car to go to and from get off work, and it also has a driver."

Dahua rolled his shoulders and said, "No matter who he is or what car he drives, if he makes our daughter unhappy, I will definitely beat him up!"

As he was talking, Taozi whispered, "Uncle, the guy surnamed Mu is here! Damn, he even brought two bodyguards with him!"

Four people got out of the car and blocked Mu Jingsheng's car.

The bodyguard and driver immediately became alert when they saw that the visitor had bad intentions.

Mu Jingsheng looked distant, as if he had never met Liu Nanshan, but he was still polite: "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

Liu Nanshan walked up to him and punched him without saying a word.

Mu Jingsheng is 180cm tall and has been doing fitness exercises for many years, but his physique is still not as big as Liu Nanshan. He was caught off guard and was punched, falling to the ground holding his stomach.

As soon as the bodyguard and the driver took a step, the big man and the young man rushed up and a fight broke out between the two sides.

Liu Nanshan squatted down, grabbed Mu Jingsheng by the collar, slapped him so hard that his head tilted, and whispered, "This is for my daughter."

He changed hands and slapped him again: "This is for my unborn grandson."

After he finished speaking, he exerted force with his wrist and pushed Mu Jingsheng backwards. When Liu Nanshan turned around and stood up, he missed the shock in his eyes.

"Stop it, everyone!" Liu Nanshan shouted.

Mu Jingsheng gritted his teeth, slowly stood up, and said "Stop".

Both sides stopped, both with bruises on their faces.

Liu Nanshan stared at Mu Jingsheng and said word by word: "Mu Jingsheng, remember, from today on, you and my daughter have completely cut off ties, and from now on, we will go our separate ways. Let's go."

The bodyguard and the driver wanted to chase after him, but Mu Jingsheng raised his hand and gritted his teeth: "Forget it."

He stared at the rear of the car going away, his expression indescribably complicated.

Last time he was beaten by Liu Wangxue, and today he was beaten by her father again. Mu Jingsheng lost his composure and kicked the front of the car next to him. The alarm sounded immediately.

Liu Nanshan found a restaurant and treated the three of them to a meal.

Liu Nanshan toasted the three people with tea instead of wine: "Quanzi, Dahua, I would like to thank you here. Taozi, I am also grateful for your kindness. If you need any help in the future, just ask. I will not hesitate!"

After dinner, Liu Nanshan sent the three people home first before going to the supermarket to buy things.

When he got home, the house was still quiet. He asked Gu Xuelan softly, "Are you still asleep?"

As soon as Gu Xuelan got close to him, she could smell the alcohol on him. She patted him and whispered, "Is it more important to buy things for your daughter or to drink?"

Liu Nanshan smiled with a silly look on his face and said, "It was Quanzi and the others who knew I was coming and insisted on asking me to drink. But I didn't drink. Drunk driving is illegal."

Gu Xuelan took the shopping bag and said, "Hurry up and change your clothes and wash them. In case my daughter wakes up and smells the alcohol and feels uncomfortable, I'll go make some soup."

"Okay!"

Liu Wangxue slept until dark. She opened her eyes drowsily and smelled the fragrance. She was too sleepy to get up, so she closed her eyes and called out, "Mom—"

"Hey!" Gu Xuelan responded, "Are you awake?"

After a while, the lights in the room came on, and Liu Wangxue saw her mother coming in with a small table and her father carrying food.

Gu Xuelan first placed a pillow behind Liu Wangxue and helped her sit up, then placed a small table on the bed, and Liu Nanshan immediately placed the food on it.

Gu Xuelan sat on the bed and said distressedly, "Are you hungry? Eat quickly."

Liu Nanshan pushed the bowl and plate towards her again and said gently, "Eat quickly. There's still some soup. Dad will serve it for you."

Red bean rice, assorted shrimps, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and soybean and pig's trotter soup are all her favorite dishes.

Liu Wangxue held the chopsticks and tears suddenly fell, as if it was only now that the reality began to dawn on her.

It's great to have a mother who still looks young and beautiful, and a father who wears an apron and looks down-to-earth, and who always support and trust her unconditionally.

Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan panicked all of a sudden. One wiped her tears and whispered comfort, while the other wiped her hands with her apron and asked her if the food was not to her liking.

Liu Wangxue sniffed, shook her head, and smiled brightly: "No, none of that, I just feel so happy to have my parents around."

Gu Xuelan poked Liu Wangxue's head with her index finger, and said helplessly and dotingly, "You always make us worry."

Liu Nanshan also said: "I told you to go home a long time ago, but you insisted on coming to Haishi. Now you know that your parents are by your side, right?"

Gu Xuelan hugged Liu Wangxue and said, "Don't think about anything during this period of time. Just have a good rest. Didn't you say before that you wanted to go traveling? When you recover, let's go together and take a long vacation."

Liu Nanshan agreed: "Yes, let's go to the west and have a, what, spiritual healing journey."

Liu Wangxue picked up the soup bowl, full of hope for the future: "Then I want to go on a self-driving tour!"

"Okay, Mom and Dad will accompany you."

(End of this chapter) After dinner, Liu Wangxue took out her phone and received a message from someone who said "Axun". It had been so long since she remembered who this person was. After searching her memory for a long time, she remembered that the other person was also a host of Shiliu Video.

[Xuxu, is that you? ]

[I saw the date was uploaded last night, and it suddenly became a hot search just now]

Attached below is a web link with the title "The most beautiful breakup drama of the year, the beautiful anchor goes crazy and slaps herself in the face, and the handsome guy has a green head."

Liu Wangxue clicked on it and saw a blank page, so she replied: [Cannot read]

Ah Xun immediately sent a video: [It was removed, luckily I downloaded it]

Liu Wangxue clicked on it and saw the part where she slapped someone, poured coffee, smashed the cake, and then stalked away.

【What happened between you and your boyfriend? Did you break up?】

[Is he hiding his identity? The legendary boss? The trending searches were removed in minutes, and even the screenshots can't be found on major platforms now]

Liu Wangxue didn't reply. He lay down for a while and fell asleep again in a daze.

I woke up early the next morning and felt refreshed.

After breakfast, she logged into the live broadcast system. The backstage was full of private messages, but she didn't even read them.

I was too lazy to put on makeup, so I just turned on the beauty function.

After receiving the reminder, fans rushed into the live broadcast room, and the barrage of comments gradually filled the screen.

[My heavenly wife~ Kang me Kang me~]

[Xuxu, where have you been? Why didn't you start broadcasting a few days ago? The neighbor has already stepped on you to get the top! ]

[What else can I do? Didn't you see the video? Why is he so crazy?]

[Is that man Mr. Su? Did he cheat? ]

[He must have cheated on me, otherwise would Xuxu have thrown the green one on his head?]

[What? ? Mr. Su is actually a scumbag? ? ? ]

"Su Zong" is the nickname given to Mu Jingsheng by fans. It was because of that time when his voice was captured on camera that fans were mesmerized by his voice. Since then, Liu Wangxue has been asked by fans from time to time to share the sweet details of their love.

[Is there any love in this world that is worth believing in? ! ! ]

[Is there anyone in this world who still believes in love?]

[The scumbag was hammered to death!]

[A fly won't bite an egg without cracks, it's not a good thing]

[It takes two to tango. How can a woman who is not a scumbag attract a scumbag man?]

[Fuck your victim-blaming theory. Since when did scumbag men become the standard for judging women?]

[Ouch, punching! Punching!]

【.】

Liu Wangxue ignored the comments, smiled at the camera, and said, "Thank you all for your concern. As usual, let me tell you a story first."

[Cheers! I can't eat without hearing Xuxu's stories these days]

【Can't sleep】

【Lovesick】

"The name of the story is "The Amnesiac Boss Comes to Love Me"."

[I smell the smell of dog blood~]

[I love it so much~]

[Hey, did Xuxu close the reward channel? ]

【.】

"I won't accept any tips today, just concentrate on listening to the story! The heir to the Situ family's business empire."

Liu Wangxue majored in playwriting in college. After graduation, he joined a company as a screenwriter. He finally made a name for himself and was looking forward to having his scripts adapted into films.

However, the crew did not inform her when the filming started, and she only found out after the official announcement. Moreover, her script was signed by a senior.

This matter was handled by the company. As a newcomer in the industry, she had no power or influence and could not afford to fight a lawsuit. In the end, she had to give up with the money.

After being blacklisted by the company, he resigned and became a host on Shiliu Video. He told stories based on his own scripts, gained some fans, and also sold some copyrights.

Today I will change the story between myself and Mu Jingsheng and do the last live broadcast.

Abusive article, BE.

After the story was told, the fans were abused to the point of losing their minds, and threw free rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves all over the live broadcast room.

[Why do you have to listen to this to me! Life is already hard enough, can't the story be sweet without being cruel? ]

[After eating two kilograms of candy, I cried through a pack of tissues]

[I said the anchor was crazy]

[Good abuse, this is reality, there is not so much love at first sight in life]

[Return the money! Return the money! Ah, hug you, I didn't give you any reward today.]

【.】

"The story ends here. Thank you for your company over the years. I would like to say goodbye to you all here."

【What's the meaning?】

[Isn't it what I thought? ]

"That's right, starting today, I will quit the Internet."

【Crying, why?】

[It's all the fault of those cyberbullying haters. What should I do with my spiritual food?]

[Is the anchor still under contract? If so, the penalty for breach of contract will be very high.]

"The contract expired last month. Due to some personal reasons, I haven't had time to sign a new contract, so there will be no penalty."

[Five years old fan, Xuxu, I can't live without you/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~]

[Is Xuxu going to change careers? Enter the entertainment industry? ]

[If you want to withdraw, just do it cleanly and straightforwardly, why bother with all the gimmicks]

[Isn't this just to hype up the sales? I despise you]

Liu Wangxue laughed and said, "I won't enter the entertainment industry, nor will I sell goods. I promise to quit the Internet cleanly."

After laughing, Liu Wangxue regained his composure and said, "I just suddenly feel very tired. People like me who come from small places, from childhood to adulthood, study to get into a good university, get into a good university to find a good job, and then work hard for a living.

After working hard in this city for so many years, I still can't afford a house, and even buying a car requires a loan.

I thought that as long as we were in love we could get married and have children, and that we could work together to build a family. But now I realize that this idea was really naive.

I want to change my lifestyle. Now that I think about it, small cities are pretty good too. There is no pressure. If I earn a little money, I can live a happy and carefree life. "

[Then anchor, please come to our place, the house is cheap, only 8,000 yuan per square meter]

[Eight thousand is still cheap]

[I can't even afford one thousand]

[I seem to have seen a post on Fanshu a few days ago. The person bought a house for just over 30,000 yuan, but it was an old house.]

[Cemeteries are not this expensive]

[Sure, can you just move in? I want to retire early and live a comfortable life]

[Those with 20,000 in savings are crying]

【Those who have no savings will cry to death】

These comments aroused Liu Wangxue's interest. Although her hometown was also a small county town, the housing prices were close to those in second-tier cities. It was so outrageous that she didn't know what to say.

After discussing the housing price issue with fans for a while, Liu Wangxue said: "If it really costs more than 30,000 yuan, I will buy it, and I can live my life in peace and do something, or do nothing. It's also good to live like this for the rest of my life."

[Found it, Xuxu, sent you a private message]

【Zundu fake du】

【I want to watch too】

[Guide to the pink book, the invincible giant squirrel, buy a house for 30,000 yuan and live comfortably in retirement]

Liu Wangxue quickly browsed through it and said, "It has been renovated. It looks pretty good. There are still 30 years of property rights left. It's okay."

[I want it too! I think I may not live to see 30 years from now]

[METOO, stress, weight gain, hair falling out in clumps, want to quit but dare not]

【It's a profit if you live in it】

[Where is the house? Which province and city? I want to go there right away]

[Directions to this station, the green pines of a small county town]

【.】

(End of this chapter) Chapter 5: Choosing a Room

Liu Wangxue took note of the nickname and did not watch the video with her fans. She had just had surgery yesterday and could not sit for a long time, so she left the video amid the fans' wailing comments.

The system settlement has been completed, and this account has nothing to do with her from now on.

When her parents saw her live streaming, they didn't disturb her but sent her a message.

Mom: [Your dad and I are out buying groceries. Don't sit for too long. Go off the air and take a rest. The fruit is washed and in the living room. Remember to eat it.]

Liu Wangxue replied: [Okay, thank you mom~blow ]

After standing up and stretching, Liu Wangxue lay down on the sofa, with her head resting on the armrest, a pillow under her shoulders, and her slender legs curled up.

While eating the fruit cut by my mother, I opened the Pomegranate Video, and then a push notification came on the homepage - "A young man bought a house for 40,000 yuan and moved into an 80-square-meter luxury house with just a bag."

Liu Wangxue smiled with a pair of dimples: "Shi Liu, did you really install a surveillance camera in my phone?"

The video begins with a death perspective shot from above. Looking at the street scene going backwards, it seems like he is riding a bicycle:

"Brothers, hello everyone, today I will show you a house of 80 square meters and 40,000 yuan. A fan from Shenzhen City came to me to buy it some time ago, and he has already moved in."

"Okay, now it's time." After the camera shook for a while, a handsome face appeared. When he turned his head, he revealed a beautiful jawline, not greasy, very good. Liu Wangxue gave a thumbs up.

The barrage passed by rows of [licking face slurping slurping ~]

Liu Wangxue turned off the barrage and followed the blogger's perspective to view the entire apartment.

This is an old-style residential building with no elevator. This apartment is on the top floor. It has two bedrooms and a living room, with north-south ventilation and a small terrace with a wide view.

The house is full of old-fashioned furniture, built-in cabinets, and old-fashioned tiles on the floor, with green ripples, giving it a strong sense of age. The layout of water and electricity also looks good, and the flow is comfortable.

Some places have been modified by the new owner, adding some new Chinese elements, such as using a national trend screen to separate the living room and the dining room, and the balcony is decorated as a simple tea room. It should be quite comfortable to live in.

"OK, that's all for today. I'm going to go out for dinner with this brother later. Finally, I'll answer a question that many friends are asking. I don't recommend investing. This is the truth. But if you have a little savings and want to retire early, you can buy a house here and lie down. Of course, you have to choose a comfortable place. See you in the next video. Bye."

Liu Wangxue clicked on the blogger's homepage, which had more than 300,000 fans.

"Wow! Is this kind of video so popular now?" Liu Wangxue exclaimed.

Nickname: Green Pine in a Small County

Introduction: Choose a comfortable place to lie down and retire. Welcome brothers and sisters from all corners of the world to come to Qiu
Shui Town to view houses. Please send me a private message~ There are not many posts, more than 80 videos. Liu Wangxue went straight to the end. The earliest one was posted in October last year. Each video is about five or six minutes long.

Liu Wangxue changed into a comfortable position and watched the videos one by one starting from the first one.

Before I knew it, it was already noon. The door locked and my parents came back.

After lunch, Liu Wangxue returned to her room and continued watching videos while lying on the bed.

It wasn't until the evening that I finished watching the whole thing.

The handsome guy is called Xu Qingsong. He was laid off by a big gaming company, went home to take a rest, and accidentally became a real estate agent.

Some of the videos are about house viewing, and some are about daily life in Qiu Shui Town.

The houses are indeed all in old neighborhoods, with about 30 to 40 years of property rights left.

The reason why it is vacant is, firstly, there is a serious population loss there and many young people have settled there; secondly, this small county town has also developed some new real estate projects and those who can afford it have moved there.

Rather than letting these old houses rot in my hands, I'd rather sell them for some money.

The Qiu Shui Town in the video is peaceful and tranquil, with a very slow pace of life and low prices. Beef ribs at the morning market cost only 12 yuan per pound.

Looking at the houses that bloggers have introduced or helped to sell, they are all in good locations and living is very convenient, but the only transportation seems to be minibuses running between cities and towns.

To be honest, Liu Wangxue was a little moved and clicked to follow.

She likes the plane tree avenue in the video, from the yellow leaves falling all over the ground in autumn to the lush green of spring and summer, completing a whole cycle of life.

After dinner, Liu Wangxue took out his notebook and carefully searched for information about Qiu Shui Town on various platforms.

I found a few netizens who shared pictures and texts after successfully buying a house. I sent them private messages and had a brief chat with those who replied, and they all matched the video.

"Alas," Liu Wangxue sighed and muttered quietly, "I like it, but I can't go now~ Let's just pay attention first!"

Two weeks later, Liu Wangxue went to the hospital for a follow-up examination accompanied by her parents. She recovered well and there was no residual disease.

Her parents took her casual suggestion of a self-driving tour to heart and consulted a doctor. However, the doctor suggested that she rest for a while before traveling, after all, the west is a plateau area.

Liu Wangxue wanted to say that she might as well not go, after all, she had been thinking about the house in Qiushui Town, and was afraid that if she was late, she would not be able to choose a good one. But seeing that her parents were determined to take her out to relax, she did not speak.

After returning from the hospital, Liu Wangxue began to pack up and prepare to return to his hometown.

She doesn't have many things, and the most expensive one is the DSLR camera she uses for live streaming.

With the help of my parents, I packed up the house quickly and contacted the landlord directly to cancel the lease.

The red Wrangler drove out of Haishi. The "heir of the Mu Group and the eldest daughter of the Ling family got engaged and kissed sweetly, making others envious" had nothing to do with her anymore.

After resting for another month in my hometown, the family of three began their self-driving tour.

Passing through grasslands and Gobi Desert, you will reach the pilgrimage site in the hearts of countless people.

Go to Barkhor Street to have a cup of sweet tea, eat a yak hotpot, and buy a bracelet to have it blessed by the monks of the Jokhang Temple.

Outside the west wall of the Potala Palace, turn the prayer wheels and listen to the never-ending Buddhist chanting.

The changing shades of blue of Yanghu Lake, the endless ice of Namtso Lake, the gorgeous peach blossoms in Nyingchi, and the magnificence and holiness of Jinshan Mountain under the sun.

The cracks in my heart seemed to be healed.

After returning, Liu Wangxue went with her parents to visit relatives and shared the local specialties they brought back with everyone.

Several days passed before I had some free time to watch the newly released video of "Green Pines in a Small County Town".

After reading it, Liu Wangxue directly sent a private message.

The reply was quick, and after learning that I had the intention to buy a house, I received a link.

Green Pine in a Small County: [This is a website I made myself. I took photos and videos of the houses I want to sell and posted them here. You can take a look first and then talk to me if you like any of them.]

Willow catkins: [OK]

Liu Wangxue opened the web page and browsed it one by one.

Then my attention was attracted by a suite on the first floor with a yard.

It faces north and south, has good lighting, two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. The floor-to-ceiling windows lead directly to the courtyard where several seasonal vegetables are planted.

Liu Wangxue made a decision and went to her parents' room with her computer.

(End of this chapter) Chapter 6: House Viewing

Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan had not slept yet. They gathered together to view the house and were silent for a while.

Liu Wangxue's eyes were full of anticipation. She asked, "Mom and Dad, what do you think?"

Liu Nanshan didn't want to dampen his daughter's interest, thinking that she just wanted to buy a house: "Girl, if you really want to buy a house, your mother and I can pool our money together. At worst, we can sell our current house and have enough for the down payment on a house in the city. We won't need to buy this shabby house."

Gu Xuelan also thought so: "Besides, this Qiushui Town is in Southern Anhui Province, right? It's so far away, and I'm unfamiliar with the place. I don't know what the local customs are like."

"Mom and Dad, I'm not buying a house," Liu Wangxue said, "I just want to change my lifestyle. I'm not investing, and it's so tiring to buy such an expensive house and take out a mortgage!

Look, this house has two rooms, and our family can live there together. And this small yard is quite big, and we can turn part of it into a sun room, and keep part of it for growing vegetables, such as cucumbers, eggplants, and tomatoes, and build a grape trellis in the corner of the yard."

Moreover, this yard faces south, so it has sunshine from morning to night. Just imagine, you can enjoy the coolness under the grape trellis in summer and the warmth in the sun room in winter. You can read a book, drink tea, feed the cat, play with the birds, and eat the vegetables you grow yourself. How comfortable it is! "

Liu Nanshan was persuaded, and he helped his daughter persuade Gu Xuelan who was still hesitating: "We are both old now, it doesn't matter where we live. It's rare that our daughter likes it, why don't we go and take a look first?"

Liu Wangxue hugged Gu Xuelan's arm and acted coquettishly: "Yes, Mom, let's go take a look first and decide whether to buy it or not, okay?"

Such a cheap house, Gu Xuelan didn't believe it: "Are you sure this person is not a liar? There are many scams on the Internet now."

In order to comfort Gu Xuelan, the father and daughter unanimously decided to go to Qiu Shui Town two days in advance to see the local situation first. If the situation is not good, they will come back.

Gu Xuelan reluctantly agreed, and Liu Wangxue added Xu Qingsong's contact information and arranged a time to view the house.

After a day and a night in a soft sleeper, they arrived in the city and then found a minibus to Qiu Shui Town based on the transportation information provided by Xu Qingsong. Liu Wangxue specifically asked the driver that the route happened to pass by the hotel she had booked.

It was already noon when Liu Wangxue checked in. She asked the front desk which restaurant was good and chose a beef noodle restaurant based on the recommendation.

The noodles are as wide as the tip of a thumb, long and chewy. The beef and brisket are stewed until they are soft and fragrant. Paired with the golden fried lasagna, it is a very satisfying meal.

In the past two days, Liu Wangxue walked around the neighborhood with her parents, found the community where the apartment was located, and familiarized herself with the surroundings.

They also went to Wutong Avenue and met a young man filming a video. Liu Wangxue recognized him at first glance. It was Xu Qingsong.

Instead of going over to say hello, she took her parents and walked in another direction.

There is a middle school next to Wutong Avenue. On Saturday, only the third graders and third graders were in class. Now that school had just ended, they were coming out in groups of three or five, and the snack stands in front of the school gate were immediately surrounded.

After Xu Qingsong finished filming a segment, he took out his phone to playback and his eyes were immediately attracted by the girl in the frame - a high ponytail, tight short-sleeved shirt, overalls with Martin boots, with the trouser legs tucked into the boots, making her figure slender, beautiful and cool.

He pulled the progress bar back and fixed it on Liu Wangxue's profile. The more he looked, the more he suspected something. So he sat on the side of the road and searched for the live broadcast recording of "Xupiaopiao".

Before going to bed at night, Liu Wangxue sat cross-legged on the bed and asked her parents: "What do you think of this place?"

Gu Xuelan had a facial mask on her face and controlled her facial movements while speaking: "The restaurants on the street are all very clean, the environment is good, quiet and comfortable, and the air is fresh."

Liu Nanshan changed the channel with the remote control: "I think it's pretty good too. The people around me are warm and generous, and life is convenient. It's just that the transportation is not so good, you need a car."

Liu Wangxue nodded and said deliberately: "If I live here, I have to drive the car over here."

Liu Nanshan disagreed: "Your car is too flashy. I see that most of the cars on the streets here are electric cars. If you want to drive, you should buy mine. It's a second-hand Chery and cheap."

Gu Xuelan leaned against the head of the bed: "Your father is right, you should not show off, drive his car to a place farther away, and you can also buy a small electric car, which you can use to buy vegetables or go to the supermarket."

Liu Wangxue looked delighted: "So, the two elders agree to buy a house here?"

Gu Xuelan glanced at the time, took off the mask, and her voice returned to normal: "No, I won't tell you until I see the house tomorrow."

Liu Wangxue stretched out his hand and made an "OK" gesture.

The appointment with Xu Qingsong was at 9 o'clock in the morning, and we would meet at the gate of the community.

The family of three had breakfast and strolled over.

From a distance, I saw a young man leaning against the wall, browsing on his phone. He seemed to sense something, looked up at me, raised his eyebrows, and smiled handsomely.

He trotted towards Liu Wangxue, with neat short hair, three-dimensional facial features, and a T-shirt, overalls, and Martin boots. His trouser legs were tucked into the boots. He looked like a replica of Liu Wangxue's outfit yesterday, neat and handsome.

"Catkins?"

Liu Wangxue: "Xu Qingsong?"

"Yes, these two?"

Liu Wangxue introduced: "My parents."

"The uncle and aunt are so young, I thought they were your friends."

It's not an exaggeration. Liu Wangxue's parents look really young. She herself doesn't look like she's 28 at all. Instead, she looks like a college student in her early 20s, as fresh and young as a green onion.

This one sentence of praise made all three of them laugh.

Xu Qingsong took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with Liu Nanshan, "Uncle and aunt, just call me Xiao Xu."

The unit where this house is located is located relatively inner, but the community is not big. Xu Qingsong led the three people inside and they arrived in a short while.

Xu Qingsong took out the key and opened the door. What he saw was water on the ground. He could also hear the sound of flowing water.

Gu Xuelan's brows immediately frowned. She was not optimistic about the old house in the first place.

Liu Wangxue held her mother's arm and leaned over to look inside: "Did the water pipe burst?"

"It was fine when I came to check yesterday," Xu Qingsong said, "Uncle and aunt, please wait a moment. I'll go in and take a look."

After a while, the sound of water was still there. Liu Nanshan could not stand it anymore and wanted to go in to help.

Gu Xuelan stretched out her hand to stop him: "Don't go in, your shoes will get wet."

"It's okay. Xiao Xu may not have come into contact with this and doesn't understand."

Liu Nanshan waded into the water and saw Xu Qingsong in the kitchen trying to find a way to block the water pipe.

"It's no use blocking it, we have to close the valve."

Xu Qingsong turned his head, a little embarrassed: "Uncle, how did you come in? The valve is broken, the thread is slipping, and it can't be tightened."

When Liu Nanshan was young, he worked as a contractor. He was familiar with water and electricity lines, and he usually repaired the things at home by himself.

"Then we have to turn off the main switch." Liu Nanshan said and turned to go out. The main switch in this kind of old community is usually on the platform of the stairs. He went up and found it. As soon as he turned it, the broken pipe in the kitchen gradually stopped flowing water.

(End of this chapter) Chapter 7 Buying

a House The room was flooded everywhere, so Gu Xuelan didn't want to go in and take a look. She also lost all her good impression of the house.

Liu Wangxue was still thinking about this small courtyard, and said, "Mom, how about we wait for the owner to deal with it first, and then come back tomorrow?"

Gu Xuelan wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, an old man came over and asked, "Is Qingsong here?"

The old man has a kind smile, which makes people feel good about him.

Liu Wangxue smiled and nodded.

The old man took a quick look and exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, how come it's flooded like this!"

Xu Qingsong heard the voice and came out to see: "Second Master, why are you here?"

The old man ignored him and asked Liu Wangxue's family with a smile: "Are you here to see the house? It's flooded like this. It must be uninhabitable without major repairs. Why don't you come and see my house?"

Xu Qingsong was a little embarrassed, so he interrupted the old man and said to Liu Wangxue's family, "I'm really sorry, the water pipe may be a little old. I have called the owner and asked him to send someone to fix it."

"So, let's go take a look at my house." The old man suggested sincerely, "This community is old, the circuits and water pipes are all aging, and it will be troublesome to live in the back. My house..."

Xu Qingsong locked the door, apologized again, and pulled the old man out of the unit: "Second Master, what do you want to see me about?"

The old man clapped his hands and said, "I just want you to help sell the house. You were not at home, and your mother asked you to bring people here to look at the house, so I came here."

Liu Wangxue and her parents also came out. The old man looked at them sincerely and said, "My house also has a yard. Although it is also an old house, it was renovated two years ago. The water pipes were all replaced with new ones. My yard is even bigger than this one. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Liu Wangxue couldn't resist the temptation of the yard and wanted to go see it, so Gu Xuelan had no choice but to agree. But Liu Nanshan's shoes were wet, so they had to go back to the hotel first. Liu Wangxue asked for the address and said, "We'll go there directly this afternoon."

But Xu Qingsong said that there was no public transportation and it was a bit far to walk there. He asked: "If it is convenient, tell me which hotel is and I will pick you up in the car this afternoon."

Liu Wangxue told the name of the hotel and made an appointment.

On the way back, Gu Xuelan couldn't help but blame her: "How could you trust a stranger so easily? Going to see a house you don't know where it is, what if they have bad intentions? What will you do?"

"Oh," Liu Wangxue said coquettishly, "You and Dad are here, right, Dad?"

Liu Nanshan was very confident: "With me here, who dares? My daughter can do whatever she wants."

Suddenly, Liu Wangxue's phone rang. She saw that it was the house location that Xu Qingsong had sent her. She immediately handed it to Gu Xuelan and said, "Look, you're really not a liar. Besides, what can I cheat you about?"

Gu Xuelan really couldn't do anything about her.

Then, Xu Qingsong explained the general situation of the house to Liu Wangxue. Typing could ease the embarrassment a little.

Xu Qingsong: [The house is a self-built house on state-owned land. It is a bungalow with a yard of about 90 square meters, and there is less than two mu of vegetable plot.]

Xu Qingsong: [There are few residents around, and it's basically farmland, so it's very quiet.]

Xu Qingsong: [Anyway, why don't you go and take a look first. ]

Willow Catkins: [Okay. Thank you]

Actually, it's a long story to talk about the house.

Xu Qingsong's family moved to Qiu Shui Town starting from his great-grandfather's generation.

On the side of Xu's great-grandfather, a more retro name is the Xu family's eldest branch.

The Xu family has many businesses, some of which are even the leading companies in their respective industries. When my great-grandfather's father was critically ill, the fight for the family property became intense, and my great-grandfather was the only one who truly stayed with my father and served him.

The old man loved this son and left a will that favored him. But the great grandfather was indifferent to fame and fortune and was not interested in business, so he only asked for some money and some real estate, and even refused the shares.

But who knows, the other two families are not satisfied, and they suspect that the old man has given the first family something more valuable. After the old man passed away, the two families united and pressed forward step by step.

In desperation, my great-grandfather sold his house and moved to Qiu Shui Town with his wife and two sons. He bought a piece of land through state-owned land transfer, built a house, and started a small life.

It can only be said that like parents, like children. My great grandfather's two sons also regarded money as dirt. The elder son was fascinated by archaeology, and the younger son was fascinated by wood carving. They were all people with their own pursuits in life.

After settling in Qiu Shui Town, my great-grandfather no longer had contact with the Xu family, but he still kept in touch with his maternal family.

Later, when the two sons grew up, the old house was demolished and rebuilt, dividing it into two courtyards.

The youngest son is naturally Xu Qingsong's second uncle.

The year before last, my second uncle's son bought a villa in the city, which was only renovated at the end of last year. He wanted to bring his parents there to spend their retirement, and they didn't plan to come back in the future.

The original plan was to transfer the house and land to Xu Qingsong's name, but Xu Qingsong refused because he thought it was too troublesome.

His original words were: "I just came back to rest. I don't want to worry about that."

The second master said, "Why should you worry about it? Just rent it out and take a look at it from time to time."

Xu Qingsong still refused: "There is a rural area next to us, who doesn't have land? Who in the city is willing to rent land in the countryside to grow crops?"

The second master had no choice but to give up.

Later, Xu Qingsong's college roommate brought a few people to visit. One of them liked the life here and asked him to help keep an eye out for houses to buy.

In this way, Xu Qingsong helped the town residents make their first business.

No one could have imagined that someone would be willing to buy this old house with thirty or forty years of ownership left. Those who wanted to sell their houses came to Xu Qingsong one after another.

Xu Qingsong had nothing to do anyway, so he started making a short video and also persuaded the second master to transfer the house and land together.

The second master's son also agreed, but the second master and the mistress were reluctant.

After hesitating for a long time, and seeing that Xu Qingsong really had no intention of taking over, he made the decision just before moving.

In the afternoon, when Xu Qingsong arrived with Liu Wangxue and her parents, the door of the Second Master's house was wide open, and a breeze blew through the hall, carrying with it a faint fragrance.

The old couple were packing up their things together. The mistress was wearing a casual cheongsam, with a slim figure, a jade bracelet, and her hair was tied back with a wooden hairpin. When she saw the visitor, she smiled a little, and even her wrinkles were elegant.

Liu Wangxue admires this kind of people the most. The beauty in their bones will not fade with the aging of their bodies.

After looking it over inside and out, Liu Wangxue liked it very much.

The bungalow is built relatively high, the space is transparent and spacious, the kitchen and bathroom are modern, and the interior furniture is antique style and made of solid wood.

And they were all made by the second master himself.

What surprised Liu Wangxue and her parents the most was that the bed in the master bedroom was a carved canopy bed, and the bed in the second bedroom was a embossed Arhat bed, which made people unable to take their eyes off at first sight.

Gu Xuelan is a history teacher at a junior college. She loves retro and antique things. She wanted a carved canopy bed in her early years, but her family conditions did not allow it.

(End of this chapter) Gu Xuelan liked this one at Erye's house very much, but Erye said that it was a wedding bed and she had to take it away, so Gu Xuelan had to give up the idea of buying it.

Apart from this, what she and Liu Nanshan were most satisfied with was the vegetable plot of less than two mu.

The land on the side and back was mostly distributed by the old couple because they were moving, leaving some unripe ones or those that had not been cleaned up in time, which now look a bit unsightly.

But this is not important. What is important is that I have land and can finally grow whatever I want to eat.

The front yard is more than 20 square meters, and there is a pomegranate tree in the yard that is already in bloom.

A staircase was built at the corner between the courtyard wall and the bungalow, and several people went to the roof to take a look.

After going up the stairs, the courtyard of Xu Qingsong's house came into view. Apart from a cherry tree, there was a car and a small battery, and not even a blade of grass.

The cherries on the trees are already bearing fruit. I want to eat some cherries, Liu Wangxue thought.

Looking out from the roof, the rice fields seem endless. Now is the early rice season, and the rice ears have already formed, bending under the weight of their weight, which is a pleasing sight.

In addition to the rice fields, there are also scattered lotus ponds. Liu Wangxue has already imagined the summer when the lotus flowers are in full bloom.

The second master pointed at the vegetables below and said, "These vegetable plots were originally part of the homestead. When they bought them, my parents, Qingsong's great grandfather and great grandmother, didn't want to build a big house. They thought that if they wanted to live in the countryside, they had to plant crops."

Erye smiled as he spoke, as if he was reminiscing about that time: "So I kept so much and planted a lot of vegetables in different categories. I gave away the ones I couldn't finish. But every household in the village has its own plot of land, so who doesn't have vegetables to eat?"

After they finished watching, the two families sat in the living room and chatted for a while.

Xu Qingsong found the things as he was familiar with the place and made hawthorn and tangerine peel tea for everyone.

The house here is not valuable now, and the old couple made the decision late, so they are in a hurry now. They originally wanted to trouble Xu Qingsong, but then they have to come back to handle the formalities, which is troublesome.

It can be seen that Liu Wangxue's family also liked it, and they thought that the child was also worthy of their attention, so they did not raise the price and said that the house and land were priced at 40,000 yuan.

However, they had to take the furniture away because Xu Qingsong's cousin liked it very much and wanted to keep it. The villa was also decorated in an antique style.

Seeing that her parents had no objection, Liu Wangxue nodded and agreed.

The mistress went to the studio, picked out a few framed paintings and took them out to give to Liu Wangxue.

Xu Qingsong took it over and pointed to a meticulous painting of flowers and birds, saying proudly, "These paintings were all painted by my mistress. Aren't they beautiful?"

The Second Master snorted and said disdainfully: "You can only say it looks good!"

Liu Wangxue's family didn't understand painting either, so Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan laughed and joked to themselves: "We can only say it looks good, hahaha."

The Second Master was somewhat disappointed with Xu Qingsong: "You don't know, he has been learning Chinese painting from his mistress since he was a child, and he didn't make any achievements until he went to college."

Xu Qingsong was not convinced: "Then I am still learning wood carving from you, why didn't you tell me?"

The Second Master said disdainfully: "I feel ashamed, is that ok?"

Everyone laughed together.

People with many talents can always attract other people's attention. Liu Wangxue couldn't help but look at Xu Qingsong a few more times.

It was getting late, so Liu Wangxue and her parents said goodbye.

Xu Qingsong sent them back to the hotel. Out of courtesy, he got out of the car when it stopped at the door.

Liu Wangxue smiled and stretched out her hand and said, "Thank you for troubling you today."

Xu Qingsong shook hands with her, and then said goodbye to Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan.

On the way back in the car, he couldn't help but smile.

Liu Wangxue was very satisfied with this house.

Gu Xuelan still couldn't believe it. She actually accompanied her daughter when she went crazy. She really bought an old house in this small county town?
Liu Wangxue quietly asked Liu Nanshan: "Dad, what's wrong with Mom?"

Liu Nanshan understood: "She just hasn't come to her senses yet. In the past, your mother and I thought of either buying you a house in Hai City or in the city near our home. But our financial ability has always been limited!"

Gu Xuelan sighed, "Yeah, your father and I don't earn much, and our pension is just that. Four elderly people in our family passed away one after another, and we've spent most of our savings."

After saying that, Gu Xuelan smiled with relief: "This place is also good. Just like your father said, at this age, it doesn't matter where you live. Houses are all external things. You can't bring them with you when you are born and you can't take them with you when you die."

Liu Nanshan put his arm around Gu Xuelan's shoulders and said, "From now on, we will live here with our daughter and grow old together! Hahahaha."

Liu Wangxue happily jumped a few steps, her ponytail swinging up: "As a family, we should live together in old age!"

The efficiency of the small town is very high and all the procedures were completed in one day.

It was also at this time that Xu Qingsong learned that Liu Wangxue was not called "Liu Xu".

Afterwards, the second master's son, Xu Qingsong's uncle, came back specially, one to meet the next owner of the house, and the other to move with the old couple.

The only big items are two beds, but the one made by Erye has a mortise and tenon structure, so it can be dismantled and loaded onto the truck.

Liu Nanshan hosted Xu Qingsong and Xu Erye's family for a meal, and since they would be neighbors in the future, Xu Qingsong's mother was also invited.

After dinner, Erye and his family left with the moving company's car.

Liu Wangxue asked Xu Qingsong for the address of the furniture store and wanted to buy the bed and mattress first so that she could move in tonight.

Xu Qingsong was very enthusiastic. He had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he drove Liu Wangxue's family to a furniture store in the suburbs.

He has a childhood friend who opened a shop there.

"I'm definitely not a shill!" Xu Qingsong swore, "The furniture store is a deep place. Generally, if people come to me to buy a house and have a need, I will recommend my childhood friend's store. I live here, so if there is any problem, it will be convenient to protect my rights."

The furniture store covers a large area, and there is even a large clothing store next to it. Liu Wangxue wondered, "Qiushui Town is not that big, right? With both the furniture store and the clothing store here, aren't you worried that business will be bad?"

"No," Xu Qingsong said as he looked for a parking space, "because our main business is not in Qiushui Town, but in the city and neighboring provinces."

Liu Wangxue understood. She had looked at the map. Qiu Shui Town was at the junction of Southern Anhui Province and Qingjiang Province. After years of development, the capital of Qingjiang Province had become a second-tier city, only one city away from Qiu Shui Town.

"But shouldn't this also boost employment?" Liu Wangxue asked, "But why is Qiushui Town still experiencing a serious population loss?"

"Even if it can boost employment, the jobs are fixed," Xu Qingsong found a parking space and backed the car in, "and the salary is not high. It's enough for me to eat and drink, but what if I get married and have children?"

Liu Wangxue sighed: "The child is a money-eating beast!"

Several people got out of the car and walked towards the furniture store. Xu Qingsong continued, "I used to have a colleague who had a good monthly salary and lived a carefree life. Then he fell in love and got married. Once his child was born, his life immediately became tight."

Gu Xuelan was also deeply touched and said to Liu Wangxue, "Your cousin's family is just like this. They gave birth to a son two years ago. When she was pregnant, she went to prenatal education classes. After the child was born, she went to early childhood education classes. When the child could talk and walk, she went to various interest classes, such as painting, swimming, and musical instruments. She couldn't even speak Chinese fluently, so she went to learn English and French."

Liu Nanshan strongly disagrees with this way of education: "The children are really suffering."

"Who says it's not true?" Xu Qingsong pressed the elevator button. He also disliked this. "When I was a kid, I just thought about eating and playing all day. Compared with kids nowadays, my childhood was much happier."

Liu Wangxue asked with a smile: "Didn't you also learn Chinese painting and carpentry?"

Xu Qingsong smiled shyly: "That was just for fun, if my parents had whipped me from behind, maybe I would be a master now!"

Liu Wangxue's family was amused.

The elevator went up to the fourth floor, and when the door opened, we saw a store called "Qiumeng Bedding" right in front of us. It was quite large, estimated to be nearly 200 square meters.

"This is my childhood friend's shop," Xu Qingsong said, "Uncles and aunts, you guys take a look first, I'll go find someone. Xiao Qi, come here."

The young man named Xiao Qi came running over and said, "Brother Xu, why are you here?"

"Bring a friend to come and see and say hello."

"Okay!" Xu Qingsong's childhood friend Tao Huayu stroked his chin and winked at Liu Wangxue, looking gossipy: "Girlfriend? A handsome man and a beautiful woman. No, you also have a good appearance, a golden boy and a jade girl."

"Shut up!" Xu Qingsong said disdainfully, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."

"Who is that? Why does he look familiar?"

Xu Qingsong said: "They came to buy a house. I sold the one in my second uncle's house to them."

"Second Master is so lucky, he has a good son and lives in a big villa." Tao Huayu envied, "When can I have a big villa?"

"A small building in the village, isn't it almost like a villa? Stop crying, go over and take a look, and give me a reasonable price."

"No problem, I'll even break your bones!" Tao Huayu said, looking at Xu Qingsong suspiciously: "If she's not your girlfriend, then she's the one you like pursuing you? Sure, sell your house to her. You know how to take advantage of others, kid."

Xu Qingsong was too lazy to explain.

Tao Huayu muttered: "I've never seen you so attentive when buying a house before. They always gave me the address and found it themselves."

Liu Wangxue and her parents have already made their choice.

A solid wood bed is too heavy, and there are concerns about formaldehyde in composite wood. The paint smell will not dissipate without being left for a while, so they chose a simple wrought iron bed.

I don't want to shop around anymore. Besides, Xu Qingsong and I will be neighbors in the future, so I can't just cheat them.

Xu Qingsong came over and introduced himself.

Tao Huayu's usual way of doing business was familiar to people. His words and demeanor seemed a bit slick, but also a bit funny. Liu Wangxue couldn't help but want to laugh when she shook hands with him.

With this smile, Tao Huayu knew why Liu Wangxue looked familiar—the anchor he was a fan of! He was also the administrator!
After Liu Wangxue announced his retirement from the Internet, he sighed for a long time and lost several pounds.

Tao Huayu thought, no wonder he didn't recognize her at first, she looks much better in person than in the camera!

She doesn't have any plastic surgery at all, she's a natural beauty!

"Hey, what are you doing?" Xu Qingsong stretched out his hand and waved in front of Tao Huayu.

Tao Huayu came back to his senses and smiled in a standard way: "What's wrong?"

Xu Qingsong couldn't help but question how he had grown his business: "People are asking about the price. This, this, two beds and two mattresses, how much?"

Tao Huayu wanted to shout, "No money! Take it! Take whatever you want! Pick the most expensive one!"

But he couldn't, so he quoted a factory price and promised to deliver the goods to his door within today.

Xiao Qi opened his eyes wide, but dared not say a word.

Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan didn't quite understand this, but they also felt that the price was a bit too low.

Liu Wangxue looked at Xu Qingsong.

Xu Qingsong was very satisfied and nodded, no problem.

All right. Liu Wangxue selected some bedding, a pillow and quilt set.

Erye and his friends did not take the washing machine and dryer in the house, so after returning home, Liu Wangxue disassembled them and threw them in. After washing and drying, they were ready to use that night.

Then the family of three cleaned the room again.

The second master didn't take the home appliances with him, but Liu Wangxue didn't plan to use them and wanted to buy new ones. So he moved them all to the living room, asked Xu Qingsong about recycling, and contacted someone to come to his house.

As soon as the cleaning was completed, Tao Huayu brought people to deliver the bed and mattress and helped move them to the bedroom.

It was just time for dinner, so Liu Nanshan suggested calling Xu Qingsong and having dinner together.

After dinner, Liu Wangxue's family refused the two people's offer to see them off, saying that they wanted to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities.

Most of the storefronts in the town are connected to people's homes, so all kinds of shops close relatively late. There happened to be a store selling small batteries next to the supermarket, so Liu Wangxue bought two.

The family of three rode home.

After taking a shower, Liu Wangxue carried the tablet to her parents' master bedroom to discuss the furniture that needed to be purchased and the renovation of the house and yard.

Among the paintings given by the mistress, there are three large ones. The horizontal one is a golden landscape, the vertical one is a solitary orchid in a valley, the detailed flower and bird painting is square and framed, and there are also several small works that are not framed.

Liu Wangxue thought about this and said, "Why don't we buy antique-style furniture to match the paintings?"

Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan had no objections. As long as Liu Wangxue liked it, they liked it.

Liu Wangxue talked about his own fantasy.

First, indoors.

The original layout was two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. The master bedroom where my parents live now is okay as the space is suitable, but Liu Wangxue's second bedroom is a bit small.

She likes big beds, and once a two-meter bed is put in, the space immediately shrinks. If a wardrobe and dressing table are added later, it will seem cramped.

So, she thought about moving the kitchen out of the room and knocking down part of the wall connecting the kitchen and her bedroom so that the space would be more spacious.

In addition, she can also set aside a work area, and she still wants to try to write some books and submit them. No matter what, this is the career she loves and she cannot give it up.

Even in her previous life, when she was suffering from severe depression, she still tried to create works. Some of them were sold, while others were ignored because they were too gloomy.

Gu Xuelan agreed with her idea: "Nowadays, there are many young people on the Internet who are always lying down, retiring, and living in old age. We can't be so negative when we are alive. When you are tired, take a break for a while and find something you like to do. Even if you can't achieve anything famous, it is an explanation to yourself."

Liu Nanshan's focus was more practical: "What about moving the kitchen out to the yard? This would be a big project, as the plumbing and electrical circuits would have to be re-laid."

Liu Wangxue said: "It doesn't matter. We don't have anything else to do anyway. Let's hire a construction team and do it slowly."

She thought for a moment and said, "Let's build it against one side of the courtyard wall. Let's make it a little more spacious so that there is space for a restaurant. We can also build a bar so that it will be comfortable for friends to come over for a drink or something."

"Okay." Both parents agreed.

Next are the sunroom and grape trellis that Liu Wangxue wanted most.

Gu Xuelan said, "Should we expand the yard a little further? Once the cars park in, it might become crowded."

Liu Nanshan suggested: "Why don't you just forget about the sun room? I think it's already quite hot here now. In the summer it will be like a furnace, which is not practical."

Liu Wangxue wanted to do that, and said, "You can plant creepers. They will provide shade in the summer, and even if they wither in the winter, they won't affect the sunlight."

Gu Xuelan liked this idea: "We can also plant some waterfall roses. I saw how beautiful they were in the video."

The mother and daughter hit it off immediately, and Liu Nanshan had no choice but to support them.

The family of three discussed until late at night before falling asleep.

Liu Wangxue also used soul painting to produce a design drawing. Chapter 10 Recognition

The next morning, Xu Qingsong came knocking on the door and brought a plate of brown sugar rice cakes sprinkled with pea powder. It seemed to be freshly made and exuded an enticing aroma.

"I didn't have time to make this yesterday. My mom just made it for you to try. It's a housewarming gift to celebrate the move."

Xu Qingsong was dressed neatly, his clothes were slightly more formal, his hair was styled with hair wax, and he sprayed a light perfume, which exuded the coolness of cedar.

But his smile was warm, like melting the frost, and he asked, "Where are your uncle and aunt? Are they not here?"

"My parents went to the supermarket. We've been eating out these past few days and we can't stand it anymore. We bought some vegetables and came back to cook for ourselves."

Liu Wangxue took the plate, pointed to the small stool left by the Second Master, and said with a smile: "Thank you, there is nothing at home now, please forgive me for this."

Xu Qingsong didn't mind at all: "This stool is very old. It's older than me."

Liu Wangxue put the plate on another small stool and brought a bottle of drink to Xu Qingsong, Peach Oolong. Xu Qingsong took it and thanked him.

"Really? Then I have to keep it well. Maybe it will become an antique in the future. Hahahaha."

Liu Wangxue joked, went to the kitchen to wash his hands, came over to pick up the glutinous rice cake again, and sat down with Xu Qingsong.

She picked up a piece and tasted it. Her eyes lit up immediately and she gave a thumbs up: "It's delicious! Your mother's cooking skills are really good!"

"Then eat more, I'll bring you more next time."

Liu Wangxue didn't respond and asked, "Are you going out?"

Xu Qingsong nodded: "I have accepted a small program development job. The client requires an interview, so I have to go to the city."

"I thought you were just an agent now."

Xu Qingsong unscrewed the bottle, took a sip, and found it refreshing and sweet. He sighed, "What kind of agent is this? I don't get paid, and I still have to move bricks, but I can move bricks freely."

Liu Wangxue was a little surprised: "Your agency service is free!"

"At first I just helped out a little bit, and then people found out and came to me one after another, so I made a small website and shot some videos for promotion."

Xu Qingsong said it easily, but Liu Wangxue realized after this trip that it was not easy, and couldn't help but praise: "The chivalrous man is righteous!"

It's almost time, Xu Qingsong has to leave.

They chatted for quite a while, but didn't say a word about business. Liu Wangxue quickly asked, "Do you have any acquaintances working on the construction team? I want to renovate the house and yard a little bit."

Xu Qingsong stood up, looked into the yard, and asked, "How are you going to change it?"

Liu Wangxue also walked over and gave a brief description.

Xu Qingsong thought for a moment and said, "Let me ask Tao Huayu for you. He also does some home improvement business, so he should know someone suitable."

Liu Wangxue nodded: "Well, okay, I'll treat him to a meal some other day."

Xu Qingsong took another sip of peach oolong.

The air suddenly became quiet. Two birds landed on the pomegranate tree, chirping and pecking each other's feathers.

Liu Wangxue pursed her lips and smiled, pointing to the door: "Aren't you still going?"

"Oh, yes!" Xu Qingsong was embarrassed for a moment and walked out.

Liu Wangxue walked him to the gate and waved goodbye.

Xu Qingsong drove out and put the peach oolong in the cup holder. After driving out of the community, he called Tao Huayu.

It took a long time before the call was picked up. Tao Huayu's voice was obviously that of someone who had just woken up from a hangover: "Ah, headache."

"I want to ask you something," Xu Qingsong went straight to the point, "Do you know a reliable construction team that can do good work? Introduce one to me."

Tao Huayu could hear the sound of pouring water, and then he gulped down the water for a long time before saying, "What? Are you going to do some renovations?"

Xu Qingsong turned the steering wheel and turned onto the main road: "Liu Wangxue wants to renovate the yard and build a sun room and a grape trellis, and also a pool."

Tao Huayu suddenly sobered up: "I was wondering why I kept feeling like I forgot something! Yesterday, Old Li Fei dragged me out for a drink, and I got so drunk that I forgot to tell you that Liu Wangxue is Xu Piaopiao!"

A dog suddenly jumped out and Xu Qingsong slammed on the brakes, but fortunately, he didn't hit it.

Tao Huayu thought he was shocked: "You are driving, don't get excited, don't get excited, I controlled myself yesterday."

The car started again, and Xu Qingsong said calmly: "I know." He recognized it at first sight.

Tao Huayu misunderstood again and said, "It's good to know. Alas, I have been a fan of her for five years! Five years of spiritual food, it's gone just like that, even eating doesn't taste good anymore."

"So now I'll give you a chance to perform," Xu Qingsong said, "If the goddess is happy, you might have a new story to listen to."

"Just wait," Tao Huayu suddenly became excited, "I'll contact Lao Li right away and guarantee to build a dream garden for the goddess!"

Tao Huayu cunningly used the project he was originally going to cooperate with Lao Li to trick him into renovating the yard for Liu Wangxue.

Mr. Li was so fascinated by the big project that he even asked his son to help with the design.

After Xu Qingsong arrived in the city, he forwarded the information about the construction team sent by Tao Huayu to Liu Wangxue.

Liu Wangxue thanked them and after discussing with her parents, set a time for the interview.

Old Li brought his apprentice and his son to the house and did some measurements.

That night, the design drawings were sent to Liu Wangxue's email, along with a material specification sheet.

The family of three gathered together to look at it and were all captivated by the design.

The picture was not quite what they had imagined, because it was more beautiful than they had imagined, especially the sunroom.

The frame of the sunroom is of antique design. Although there are no carvings, it is embedded with lattice windows, giving it a sense of tranquility and refinement.

The wall behind the sofa is made into a display cabinet, which can be used to store books as well as handicrafts.

In addition, Liu Wangxue likes to drink tea, so Li Yu designed a tea table for her. It is marked as 1.2 meters long, 1 meter wide, and equipped with an induction cooker.

In the center of the tea table is a miniature version of a Jiangnan garden with a mechanism set up. When the lotus pond is filled with water, a waterfall will flow down from the rockery.

The pavilions and towers in the garden are also equipped with night lights, and the switches are connected to the induction cooker.

Liu Wangxue said excitedly: "Mom and Dad, I have to give him more money!"

While Liu Wangxue was admiring the moment, her cell phone kept ringing. The avatar on the screen was a koi fish, which was news about Lao Li's son.

Designer Li Yu: [Sister, have you received the picture?]

【What do you think】

[Do you and your uncle and aunt like it?]

[Are there any doubts about the materials?]

[Need to modify?]

Liu Wangxue had never come across this type of design before and didn't know the market price, so she directly transferred three thousand yuan.

Li Yu replied immediately: [Sister, the money from the construction team needs to be transferred to my dad. I won't take any money.]

Liu Wangxue: [This is for you. I know miniature landscapes are time-consuming and laborious to make. Don't despise this little money.]

Li Yu: [This is a coursework I did before. It has been lying around at home and I didn't spend much time on it.]

Liu Wangxue: [Accept it! Otherwise I will feel guilty! ]

After a long while, Li Yu replied: [Thank you, sister. I'll accept it. Rabbit happily spinning and scattering ]

Liu Wangxue: [You are ]

(End of this chapter) Li acted quickly. Once the design was finalized, within two days, a lot of things were piled up in and outside the yard.

It's not just because of Tao Huayu's instructions, but also because he and his subordinates will treat any project wholeheartedly no matter how small it is, and thus have accumulated a very good reputation over the years.

The big project will start in the middle of next month, so Lao Li brought more people with him to try to finish Liu Wangxue's work as soon as possible.

The interior renovation, kitchen construction, yard expansion, sunroom and grape trellis construction started at the same time.

One side of the courtyard wall is shared with Xu Qingsong's side, and the stairs leading to the top of the bungalow are at the angle on this side.

The kitchen is also built here, leaving a one-meter aisle between the stairs so that small batteries can be placed under the stairs.

The courtyard wall on the other side was demolished, expanded two meters outward and rebuilt, and a sunroom and grape trellis were built in the newly expanded area.

It just so happens that the pomegranate tree is planted next to this side, so there is no need to transplant it, just leave some space.

Liu Wangxue and Gu Xuelan didn't understand these engineering matters, so only Liu Nanshan followed them throughout the process. He was very interested and followed along.

The mother and daughter went to the town to buy some drinks and cigarettes, and ordered lunch for the workers.

When I came back, I found a lot of drinks and fruits in the living room.

Liu Nanshan said with a smile: "They were all sent by Xiao Xu. This kid was disturbed by the construction work at our house, but he still came here to deliver things."

Gu Xuelan disagreed: "Then why did you accept it? How much is it? I will give it to them."

"Why go?" Liu Nanshan said, "They didn't say it was for us, they specifically gave it to Lao Li. Lao Li was not polite, what can I say?"

"This child!" Gu Xuelan had no choice but to give up.

Liu Wangxue took a photo of these things and sent it to Xu Qingsong: [Thank you]

Xu Qingsong: [This is for Lao Li. You can eat it if you want.]

Willow Catkins: [Tie Q]

Xu Qingsong: [Catch ]

Liu Wangxue smiled, then went to wash the fruit with Gu Xuelan and invited everyone to eat.

Lao Li's men acted very quickly, and in just a week, the transformation of various parts had taken shape.

Liu Nanshan was very satisfied. During dinner, he gave the mother and daughter a thumbs up and praised: "This is definitely the skill. If all the people under my command were like this, I wouldn't have to change my career."

Gu Xuelan ignored his sigh. She just had a special liking for Tao Huayu: "Xiao Tao looks a bit slick, but I didn't expect him to be so reliable when it comes to getting things done."

Liu Nanshan disagreed: "If you want to praise, you have to praise Xiao Xu first. If it weren't for Xiao Xu, would you be able to know Xiao Tao?"

These days, Xu Qingsong also came to help, and his behavior was very much in line with Liu Nanshan's temper, and he successfully established a "revolutionary friendship" with him.

After that, it was Liu Wangxue's turn to disagree: "If you want to praise, you should praise me. If I didn't want to buy a house here, would you know them?"

The couple laughed out loud together: "Yes, my daughter is the best!"

Liu Wangxue was proud.

In the days that followed, the indoor and outdoor environments changed almost every day, and every place slowly became what Liu Wangxue wanted.

During this period, Liu Wangxue rode a small electric bike and took Gu Xuelan to the furniture store to choose furniture.

By chance, she ran into Tao Huayu, who enthusiastically offered to help. He said to Gu Xuelan, "Auntie, you don't know that some stores here specifically bully outsiders and sell inferior goods as good ones. I'm already well-known here. With me here, no one dares to fool you."

Seeing him posing like a little rooster ready to fight, both mother and daughter were very happy. Gu Xuelan said, "Then I'll trouble you, Xiao Tao."

"No trouble, no trouble."

I needed a lot of furniture, and I had to choose them according to a unified style. I spent most of the day shopping before I decided on half of it.

Gu Xuelan was so tired that she had to come back the next day, and Tao Huayu stayed with them for two days.

Liu Wangxue felt embarrassed for bothering him all the time, so she asked, "When are you free recently? I'll treat you to a meal. I have to thank you anyway."

"Why are you being polite?" Tao Huayu was very happy to be able to help the goddess. It must be a blessing from his past life, but he still had to pretend. "It won't be too late to invite me after you have finished your house, haha."

"Okay," Liu Wangxue said cheerfully without hesitation, "We can have a barbecue on the roof, which can be considered a warm house. You must come and show your respect!"

"no problem!"

What honor do you mean? It's the goddess who is honoring me, okay? Tao Huayu jumped with excitement after Liu Wangxue and her daughter left.

In more than 20 days, everything was completed and the furniture was installed. In order to facilitate moving in, the materials chosen were either antique solid wood or environmentally friendly materials.

The workers helped clean up the garbage and cleaned the house inside and out before leaving.

For the first time in his life, Liu Wangxue bought a house and participated in its design and renovation. He felt a great sense of accomplishment.

After seeing the workers off, I went with my parents to carefully inspect the building inside and out. No, we admired it.

As she had imagined, the kitchen door was sealed, the walls were repainted, and the white-ink painting of orchids in the valley was hung here.

Half of the wall shared with the bedroom was knocked down to make a half-moon door with a plain curtain hung on it. One side is the sleeping space and the other side is the working space.

The wardrobe is made of an iron frame, which is directly built on the wall. It can be adjusted and combined according to needs, and frosted glass doors are installed on the outside. In this way, the room will not look dark and crowded.

The kitchen in the yard is also in the style of a bungalow, with an open interior. A bar separates the cooking area and the dining room. The bar can also be used as a sink and is equipped with several high stools.

The expanded yard does not have a cement floor, but is paved with tiles, which is also convenient for plant growth.

A sunroom was built next to the bungalow, which utilized the walls of the bungalow and the yard, saving the need for two sheets of glass.

When Liu Wangxue went shopping for furniture, he saw a swing chair and bought it, and now he has placed it here.

She touched here and looked there, and was particularly curious about the miniature garden in the center of the tea table. She took a cup of water and poured it into the lotus pond. Soon, a small waterfall began to flow.

The grape trellis was built with the other corner as support, so only one pole was erected, and a layer of plastic hay was fixed on the top to provide shade when the grape vines were not growing yet.

Under the shelf there is a small square table and two rocking chairs. The rocking chairs are made of rattan, which is very suitable for the occasion.

The grape seedlings, waterfall roses and creepers have been planted and we are just waiting for them to grow.

Xu Qingsong helped find the grape seedlings. The old farmer said that now was not the most suitable time for transplanting, but it didn't matter, as long as they were carefully cared for. The tender seedlings, more than one meter tall, were pulled by cloth strips and tightly attached to the pillars. There was also a small sign hanging on Miaomiao, with precautions written on it.

Liu Wangxue smiled and pushed away the green leaves, her heart filled with love for her current life. After dinner, the family sat in the living room watching a play.

The living room is furnished with a modular fabric sofa with a chaise longue, covered with a sofa blanket with a fresh pattern, and also equipped with a single sofa chair and two sofa stools.

The golden and green landscape painting was framed and hung on the wall behind the sofa.

Liu Wangxue didn't buy a TV. Instead, he used a projector, which was connected to the wireless network. It was more comfortable to watch than TV and saved space.

"Mom and Dad," Liu Wangxue hugged the pillow and curled up on the sofa, "I want to go back tomorrow. I need to move some things over."

Gu Xuelan ate an orange slice and said, "We have to go back. We can move clothes and small appliances here. We can't buy everything and waste money."

Liu Nanshan said: "Okay, let's go back together tomorrow."

Gu Xuelan said, "You stay here to look after the house. You've been doing so much work lately, aren't you tired?"

Liu Wangxue looked around and smiled secretly.

Liu Nanshan lay back, crossed his legs, and said leisurely: "That's great, I'll just concentrate on eating and drinking here!"

While we were chatting, Xu Qingsong got a message: [Tao Huayu asked me to ask when the barbecue party on the rooftop will be held. He has prepared all the gifts.]

Liu Wangxue found it funny: [Why doesn't he ask himself? ]

During this period, Tao Huayu came to visit from time to time, and Liu Wangxue became familiar with them. Tao Huayu also added Liu Wangxue's contact information as he wished.

Xu Qingsong: [He is shy]

Liu Xu: [I suspect you are harming his reputation]

Xu Qingsong: [I am not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense]

Liu Xu: [Not possible these days, I have to go back to my hometown to move]

Xu Qingsong: [Train or plane? I'll take you there]

Liu Wangxue had already bought a sleeper ticket for tomorrow night. Thinking that it would be difficult to wait for the minibus in town, she didn't bother to be polite with Xu Qingsong.

The next day, after sending her to the train station, Xu Qingsong gave her a big bag of snacks, which were all Liu Wangxue's favorite foods.

So, Liu Wangxue basically didn't stop eating along the way and finished more than half of it.

Lying on the berth, I sighed, this kind of life is wonderful, I can eat whatever I want and don't have to do whatever I don't want.

When the mother and daughter returned home, it was already dark.

Liu Wangxue received a call from her cousin: "Someone wants to see the car you asked your brother-in-law to put out. When will you be back?"

After buying the house, Liu Wangxue sent a message to her cousin, asking her cousin's husband to sell the red Wrangler since it was probably not going to be needed anymore.

Liu Wangxue immediately said, "I'm back now. You can come and see the car tomorrow!"

Her cousin really didn't understand why she was going to Qiu Shui Town to buy a house. When she first found out, she wanted to lend her money to help her buy the house in her hometown.

Now, she was asked again if she needed help or if she was having financial difficulties.

Liu Wangxue repeatedly stated that no, really not.

My cousin hung up the phone doubtfully.

The buyer really liked this car and was straightforward, so the deal was completed on the same day. After completing all the formalities and paying off the remaining loan, Liu Wangxue still had a small amount of money left in her account.

Afterwards, the mother and daughter packed up clothes, books, commonly used kitchen utensils and small appliances, as well as other miscellaneous items.

The second-hand Chery Liu Nanshan bought was an SUV. It had a large space and was comfortable to drive, but it was an older model and he only spent more than 20,000 yuan on it.

Gu Xuelan also had a driver's license, so the mother and daughter took turns driving on the road. They also rested in a hotel for one night. It was just getting dark when they arrived at Qiu Shui Town.

Xu Qingsong came back from outside on his electric bike and saw Liu Wangxue and his family of three moving things, so he went over to help.

Liu Nanshan said warmly, "Xiao Xu, I made some grilled fish. Come over and take one back later."

Xu Qingsong was carrying a heavy box, his face was not red and he was not out of breath. He smiled and said, "Okay! Thank you, uncle!"

Liu Wangxue walked behind with the suitcase, leaned closer and asked Gu Xuelan in a low voice: "What's going on? What's the situation?"

Gu Xuelan hugged the box in her hand and said teasingly, "He must have been drinking with your father. Your father is the kind of person who will get close to you as long as you show your temper to him at the table."

Liu Wangxue looked at Xu Qingsong's back and said, "This young man is good. He has the ability to control my dad's temper."

After moving the things, Xu Qingsong took the grilled fish back home. After a while, he came and knocked on the door again.

Liu Wangxue went to open the door and saw him carrying a small basket of cherries.

"It's just ripened in the past two days. It's very sweet. Let you and your uncle and aunt have a taste." He looked at Liu Wangxue with a smile.

Liu Wangxue likes to eat cherries very much. He started to crave them when he first saw the cherry tree in his yard. However, the seasonal ones are not ripe yet, and a salted fish lying flat does not deserve the freedom of cherries. Later, when he got busy, he forgot about it.

She took the basket with surprise and thanked him.

While watching TV series in the evening, the family of three sat together and ate fruit.

Gu Xuelan sighed: "It's better to grow it at home. It's delicious in season."

Liu Nanshan also answered one by one: "Yeah. By the way, I have some time recently, so I should tidy up the vegetable garden."

Gu Xuelan was also thinking about this and said, "I'll go to the morning market to buy some seeds tomorrow. You can pull out the ones that need to be pulled out."

All the farm tools such as hoes and shovels are still kept and there is no need to buy new ones.

Liu Wangxue replied to Xu Qingsong: [ My parents both gave good comments]

Then he asked: [Can cherries be propagated by cuttings? Give me one and I want to plant it too.]

After a while, Xu Qingsong replied: [I don't understand either. I'll ask for you some other day. But my tree is so big that I can't eat all the fruits by myself. You can come and pick them anytime you want.]

Willow catkins: [Isn't your mother at home? ]

Xu Qingsong: [I'm back in Beijing. She just came to see if I'm still alive.]

Willow catkins: [Well, this is motherly love]

Xu Qingsong: [Yes, my father is always the most important]

Catkins: [hahahahaha]

Xu Qingsong sent a screenshot: [Tao Huayu urged me again]

Liu Wangxue fell on the sofa laughing and replied: [I am sorry for him, so let's do it tomorrow instead of tomorrow.]

Xu Qingsong: [Thank God, he can let me go]

Seeing that she was having a good time chatting, Gu Xuelan asked, "Who are you? Why are you chatting so happily?"

Liu Wangxue's dimples deepened as she said, "Last time when I bought furniture, I said I would invite Tao Huayu to come for a barbecue after the furniture was installed. He asked Xu Qingsong to urge me."

Gu Xuelan then remembered: "Oh, I forgot about it!" Puzzled but amused, she asked: "Why didn't he tell you himself? This kid is really interesting."

Liu Nanshan hit the nail on the head: "Although he seems to be very slick in business, he is also a pure person in life."

Liu Wangxue laughed again: "Yes, Xu Qingsong said he was embarrassed, and I thought he wanted to harm his reputation hahahahaha"

When I got up in the morning, Liu Nanshan was already making breakfast and Gu Xuelan was practicing yoga in the living room.

The air is so fresh! It's slightly cool and refreshing. As soon as I got to the yard, I felt as if my lungs were cleansed inside and out, and my brain became clear as well.

Liu Wangxue held a toothbrush in his mouth and walked around while brushing. He even ran to the roof and looked into the distance, letting nature clean his eyes.

When they were going downstairs, they happened to see Xu Qingsong coming out with a small basket, preparing to climb the ladder to pick cherries, so the two of them greeted each other.

(End of this chapter) Chapter 13 Barbecue

After breakfast, the family members were busy with their own things.

Liu Nanshan took the farm tools to the vegetable field, while Gu Xuelan rode a small electric bike to the market to buy some seeds.

Xu Qingsong came over with another basket of cherries and said, "I need to go to the city first. Do you have all the barbecue utensils here? Do you need me to bring them?"

Liu Wangxue had already purchased the things online, and the courier had delivered them before she returned home.

After thinking for a while, he said, "We have everything. There's nothing to bring. You can just come and eat when the time comes."

"All right."

After Xu Qingsong left, Liu Wangxue changed his clothes and rode out on his electric bike to go to the vegetable market and buy some ingredients.

She is not physically active, but she knows how to cook. She used to eat takeout because she was busy with work. When she couldn't stand it anymore, she would buy some food and learn how to cook it when she got home from work.

From choosing vegetables to cooking them, Liu Nanshan taught everyone step by step through videos.

Liu Wangxue was smart, perceptive, and studied hard, so it didn't take long for her to cook home-cooked meals. Later, when she and Mu Jingsheng were together, they had the idea of getting married and having children, and they even took classes to learn how to cook children's meals.

She hadn't cooked much during the years of depression in her previous life. Gu Xuelan watched her very closely and even locked up her chopsticks, for fear that she would do something to hurt herself.

But cooking is like riding a bicycle. Once you learn it, you will never forget it. It is a kind of muscle memory.

The town's vegetable market is quite large. Liu Wangxue walked around and bought meat, vegetables, barbecue ingredients, and finally some seafood.

Seeing that she was having trouble carrying the items, the stall owner gave her a foam box and helped her move the items to the small battery outside.

When Liu Wangxue got home, Gu Xuelan also came back. She not only bought rapeseed, but also bought many cute flower pots, all in animal shapes.

Liu Wangxue put the meat and seafood in the refrigerator, came out and looked: "Mom, why did you buy so many flower pots?"

"I think the sunroom is missing a flower stand. Ask your dad to make one for me someday so I can plant some succulents."

Liu Wangxue looked into the carton again: "Where's the succulent?"

"There's nothing I like at the market."

Liu Wangxue helped move the flower pots into the sunroom. "Let's go to the flower and bird market some other day. I heard from Xu Qingsong that there's a pretty big flower and bird market in the city, and it's connected to a pet store. I want to buy a cat."

"Okay," Gu Xuelan said, "but I've already bought it online, and I also bought a few kilograms of nutrient soil."

Liu Wangxue came out and held the door of the sun room, saying, "Return it. Things bought online may not be good."

Gu Xuelan washed her hands, wiped her face, and said, "Forget it, I've already bought it. What matters is how I take care of it, whether it's good or not."

After lunch, the family took a short nap and then started to prepare the ingredients for the barbecue together.

Cut the beef and mutton into small pieces, sprinkle with seasonings and marinate, then skewer them.

Just cut the pork belly into thin slices and sprinkle the seasoning on it when grilling.

The shrimps should also be skewered to prevent them from curling up when grilled. The shellfish have been placed in a basin of clean water with an appropriate amount of vinegar added to allow them to spit out the water.

Vegetables are much easier to handle.

Tao Huayu came early and brought two friends with him. He had already greeted Liu Wangxue in advance.

My friends are a young couple. The man is called Yue Cheng and the woman is called Lan Xiaoxi. They met through Tao Huayu when they were buying furniture.

Both of them are fans of Liu Wangxue.

However, no one made it clear.

The three of them drove over, bringing not only fresh food but also a lot of fruit drinks, which they carried into the yard in a noisy manner.

Immediately afterwards, another car stopped at the door and the person who got out was Li Yu.

Liu Wangxue also sent him a message. He originally said that he would see how the situation went, but unexpectedly, he also came.

In real life, Li Yu is not as active as he is on the Internet. He seems a little dull and will blush when he sees a beautiful woman.

Tao Huayu teased him deliberately, and greeted him enthusiastically with Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi, pretending to hug him. Li Yu held the wine and lowered his head to hide.

This caused everyone to laugh in a good-natured manner.

Gu Xuelan tried to help: "Okay, stop bullying him. Sit down and have some snacks. The food will be ready soon."

Li Yu greeted them: "Ah, hello, auntie, hello, uncle, hello, sister Xuxu." He then handed the wine to Gu Xuelan and said, "This is what my father asked me to bring. It's for uncle. He wanted to come, but he couldn't get away because of the project."

Gu Xuelan had a good impression of Li Yu. She was fair and clean, with some baby fat on her cheeks. She was not tall, shy, and yet so talented.

It really inspires maternal love.

She took it, and Liu Nanshan also came over. He knew at a glance that it was his favorite drink, and said happily: "Oh, thank your father for me. When he is free some other day, I will drink with him alone."

Liu Nanshan also admired this father and son.

Liu Wangxue stuffed a bowl of cherries into Li Yu's hand, and Li Yu blushed and shyly said thank you.

Tao Huayu also came over to grab some. Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi were also the kind of people who loved to have fun. They were playing and fighting, and the whole bowl of cherries was divided up in no time.

Tao Huayu was still not satisfied and asked Liu Wangxue: "Is it from Xu Qingsong's family?"

Liu Wangxue nodded.

"Very good." Then he took a basin from the kitchen, called Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi, climbed over the wall from the stairs, and went to Xu Qingsong's yard to pick cherries.

Gu Xuelan and Liu Nanshan were really at a loss for words and couldn't stop themselves.

Li Yu looked at the three men with disdain and muttered, "Stealing is not a good behavior."

Liu Wangxue heard it and looked at his expression. She really wanted to rub his head, but she restrained herself.

While the ingredients are being prepared here, cherry picking is in full swing over there.

Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi held the ladder, while Tao Huayu held the basin, and soon they had filled it up. Then they moved down to another place, changed the basin, and filled it up again.

But he was still not satisfied, and stared at a small patch of bright red fruits on the top of the tree with shining eyes.

He shouted towards Liu Wangxue's courtyard: "Xiaoyu, pass me a basin! Xiaoyu—"

Li Yu carried the grill up the stairs without paying any attention to Tao Huayu. After putting it away, he turned around and went downstairs, saying, "Brother Qingsong is back."

"Hehe," Tao Huayu was not nervous at all. He and Xu Qingsong had been friends since they were young, playing in the mud together. He just sat on the ladder and waited calmly for the door to open.

Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi were familiar with Xu Qingsong, so they just sat on the small stools with their bowls in their arms and started eating.

As soon as Xu Qingsong opened the door, he asked, "Do you believe me? I will sue you for trespassing?"

Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi waved: "Brother Qingsong is back."

Tao Huayu smiled and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and hand me a basin. I'll pick the ones on the top, otherwise there won't be enough to eat."

Xu Qingsong threw the key to Yue Cheng, who caught it, opened the door and went to the kitchen to get the basin in one go. Chapter 14: Fraud

Xu Qingsong parked the car in the yard and took out an insulated box from the trunk. It contained yogurt, ice cream and other desserts.

He guessed what Tao Huayu would bring, so he bought these.

Several people went over together and helped prepare the food. By the time all the things were moved to the roof, it was almost evening.

The square table under the grape trellis and the coffee table in the living room were moved up. There was not enough space for things, so Tao Huayu and Xu Qingsong went back and moved up two folding tables, which were just barely enough.

There was no need for stools or chairs, so a low wide fence was built around the edge of the bungalow roof, which could be used as stools.

Barbecue is also Liu Nanshan's specialty. When he first entered society, he worked in a barbecue restaurant and learned from a master chef.

So he took care of all the barbecue matters.

With a handful of skewers in each hand, they pressed and turned them over, sizzling with oil and bringing out the open flame. After they were cooked, they sprinkled a handful of cumin, and the aroma was immediately stimulated.

Several young people were so greedy that they couldn't take their eyes off the food. They gathered around to watch and waited devoutly to eat.

Liu Wangxue was the first to give praise: "Dad, your cooking skills are still as good as ever!"

Of course, the first bite had to be fed to his own daughter. Liu Nanshan watched her eat with a smile and asked, "How is it? Is it okay?"

Liu Wangxue was speechless and just kept giving thumbs up.

After tasting it, others gave the highest praise, and Tao Huayu even praised it highly, which made everyone laugh.

We ate and drank, watched the sunset, chatted, laughed and made noises.

It has been such a long time since the last time I was so happy, Liu Wangxue thought.

She felt that the decision to buy a house here was a very correct one. It really realized her ideal of changing her life, making new friends and integrating into a new world.

The setting sun gradually disappeared into the horizon, and the earth was slowly shrouded in moonlight.

Liu Wangxue wondered if she was drunk, but she clearly didn't drink any alcohol.

She pointed to the full moon in the night sky and asked, "Am I hallucinating? Why do I feel like I can touch the moon just by stretching out my hand?"

Xu Qingsong sat next to her and said, "It's not an illusion, but it's rare to see the moon at this altitude."

Lan Xiaoxi was a romantic girl. She tilted her head and said to Liu Wangxue, "Make a wish. Good things will happen."

Tao Huayu and Yue Cheng were already a little drunk. When they heard the word "make a wish", they immediately shouted it out loudly.

Tao Huayu: "I want a big villa!"

Yue Cheng: "I want to be with my wife forever!"

Tao Huayu held the can and looked at everyone: "It's your turn!"

Lan Xiaoxi ran to Yue Cheng and took his arm: "I want to be with my husband forever!"

Xu Qingsong: "Xianyu just wants to lie down."

Liu Wangxue: "The salted fish doesn't want to turn over."

"Hahahahahahaha"

Liu Nanshan: "Live a long life!"

Gu Xuelan: "Me too, live a long life!"

They both wanted to spend more time with their daughter.

Li Yu sat down by the fence. Tao Huayu walked over and patted him: "Xiaoyu, it's your turn."

Li Yu tilted his head and leaned on Tao Huayu's legs.

The child was drunk and fell asleep.

Let's just go home, we're all tired.

Xu Qingsong first helped the three drunk people back to his home, settled them down, and then came over to help clean up.

After everything was cleaned up, it was already past ten o'clock, so Lan Xiaoxi stayed here and slept with Liu Wangxue.

Since she didn't plan to stay overnight, she didn't bring anything with her. Liu Wangxue found her new clothes and brought her new toiletries.

Have a good night.

I don't know why, but since coming here, Liu Wangxue suddenly got used to this healthy lifestyle.

When the sun rose, she woke up naturally. Lan Xiaoxi was too embarrassed to sleep any longer, so she got up too.

After washing up, Liu Wangxue wanted to take a walk along the path to the rice fields, and Lan Xiaoxi was happy to go with him.

It's not because of the morning countryside scenery, it's purely because the fans like the real person.

The morning breeze in the fields is cool and brings a refreshing feel.

The water in the rice fields has been drained. Lan Xiaoxi said: "In a few days, the rice can be harvested."

Liu Wangxue, who grew up in the north, had never seen what rice harvesting was like, so he asked a few questions.

Lan Xiaoxi grew up in this area, and her family also has several acres of rice fields: "I went home a few days ago to help water the fields. We have to wait until the land is dry before the combine harvester can go down."

Liu Wangxue understood and guessed, "The weather has been good recently, so it shouldn't rain."

"It's hard to say," Lan Xiaoxi shook her head. "It was just like that last year. Just when we were about to start harvesting crops by machine, it rained again, so a large part of the crops had to be harvested manually."

The two were walking and talking when suddenly a dirty dog with tangled hair ran over, fell at Liu Wangxue's feet, whimpering softly.

Lan Xiaoxi subconsciously touched the pocket of his shirt: "Oh, it's so early in the morning, and I didn't bring any food."

"What's wrong?" Liu Wangxue asked.

Lan Xiaoxi said: "This dog has always been like this. It will specifically look for people to scam you. Just give it some food. I'll call Yue Cheng and ask him to send some food over." As he spoke, he took out his cell phone.

Liu Wangxue squatted down and looked at the dog. It was dirty and thin, less than her arm's length, and its black eyes looked at her.

Suddenly, the dog patted the tip of Liu Wangxue's shoe with its front paws, curled up its body, licked its nose constantly, then tears shed and vomited something.

Lan Xiaoxi hung up the phone and said, "He will be here soon."

Liu Wangxue was a little confused: "Why do I feel like there's something wrong with it?"

Lan Xiaoxi bent over and took a look: "Oh, why is it crying? Can dogs cry too?"

Liu Wangxue took out his phone and checked it, his face gradually becoming heavy. He put away his phone, picked up the dog and walked back without saying anything.

Lan Xiaoxi was surprised and quickly took off her coat: "Don't hold it, it's so dirty. I'll give you my coat later and you can wrap it in it."

"It's okay," Liu Wangxue said anxiously, "It seems to be sick. I'll take it to the pet store."

Liu Nanshan walked out of the yard and was about to call them back for dinner when he saw Liu Wangxue coming back holding a dirty dog.

"What's wrong? Why did you pick up a dog?"

"Dad, it might be sick. I'll take it to see a doctor." Liu Wangxue said.

Gu Xuelan came out after hearing the noise, and took a basket for Liu Wangxue to put the dog in. "Go change your clothes first, they are all dirty."

"Okay." Liu Wangxue quickly washed and disinfected her hands, changed her clothes, took the car keys and left.

"Sister Xuxu, I'll go with you." Lan Xiaoxi got into the car and sat in the back seat carrying the dog basket.

Liu Nanshan chased after him and said, "Eat first and then go!"

"It's okay, Dad. I'll eat when I get back."

The car passed by the gate of Xu Qingsong's house, and Yue Chenggang came out with snacks: "Where are you going?"

Lan Xiaoxi stuck her head out of the window and said, "The scammer dog seems to be sick. Sister Xuxu needs to take it to see a doctor."

"Where can I go to see it—"

"That pet store in town—"

(End of this chapter) Chapter 15 High Five

It was just past eight o'clock and the pet shop had not yet opened. Liu Wangxue dialed the number on the door.

Not long after, the owner opened the door from the inside.

Qiu Shui Town is a small place, and residents usually keep cats and dogs at home, but they are not as elaborate as those in big cities.

There is only one pet shop in the town, and not many people come to see a doctor or take care of their pets, so the owner usually opens late and closes early. The pet shop has only one owner, who is both a doctor, a nurse, and a salesperson.

Liu Wangxue went in carrying a basket, and the dog whimpered from time to time.

The shop owner knew it immediately and asked, "Is it a stray dog?"

"Yes." Liu Wangxue described the process of encountering it and its reaction.

The store owner took the dog in, did a simple checkup, and said, "It has an upset stomach. This is usually the case with stray dogs. It could be some gastrointestinal disease. I don't have enough equipment here, so I suggest you take it to the city's pet hospital to check if it has other diseases."

Liu Wangxue nodded.

The shop owner asked, "Do you want to adopt it?"

Liu Wangxue was stunned by the question.

Lan Xiaoxi said: "I can't adopt him."

They both looked at her.

She gestured and said, "It has been wandering around our area since it was this big, when it was still a cub. Many families thought it was cute and wanted to keep it, but it would run away after eating and go to the next house when it was hungry. Later, when it grew up, I don't know what happened, it learned to scam people, and would lie on the ground and refuse to leave if you didn't give it food."

"Oh," the shopkeeper said, "maybe the family who wanted to adopt it didn't give it enough sense of security, especially for a smart one like this."

The shop owner asked Liu Wangxue again: "What do you think?"

Liu Wangxue hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's give it a bath first."

The shop owner smiled and said, "Okay."

While the two were waiting outside, Xu Qingsong and his friends came over, handed them the meat patties and hot milk baked by Liu Nanshan, and asked, "How's the accident going?"

Liu Wangxue explained the situation, and then said, "I want to take it to the city to have a look later."

Li Yu had heard about the dog on the way and asked, "Sister Xuxu, are you planning to adopt it?"

Tao Huayu said: "This dog is impossible to tame. I have fed it so much, but it still won't follow me."

Several people looked at Liu Wangxue.

Liu Wangxue smiled helplessly: "Why are you all looking at me? You guys also said that the decision of whether to raise the child or not is not up to me."

Yue Cheng didn't understand: "Then you still want to take it to the city hospital?"

"It fell right at my feet," Liu Wangxue sighed, "I can't just watch it suffer, can I?"

Xu Qingsong smiled and said to Liu Wangxue: "Maybe you can really raise it."

"Why do you think so?" Tao Huayu asked.

"Thank you for saving my life!" said Xu Qingsong.

Lan Xiaoxi exclaimed: "That's right! The shop owner said Pengci is a smart dog, he will know how to repay the kindness!"

Liu Wangxue felt that with every word they spoke, the story was developing in a fantasy direction.

After waiting for a while, Tao Huayu looked at the time and had to leave. Lan Xiaoxi and Yue Cheng also said goodbye to Liu Wangxue and had to go to the store.

Li Yu said, "Sister Xuxu, if you are willing to adopt it, you must tell me and I will buy it dog food."

"Okay!" Liu Wangxue agreed.

Everyone left, but Xu Qingsong was still there. Liu Wangxue looked at him and asked, "Are you not busy?"

Xu Qingsong said: "I am free now. I don't want to be busy now. After all, I am also concerned about the fate of this dog."

"Then please continue to pay attention?" Liu Wangxue really didn't know how to respond.

"OK."

Liu Wangxue finished her breakfast before the owner came out with the basket.

The dog has been washed and its hair has been simply trimmed. Some places have severe tangles that cannot be washed out, so they are simply cut off, revealing its skinny body.

No wonder it feels so light when held in my hand, Liu Wangxue thought.

The store owner said, "I fed it some probiotics and gave it an anti-inflammatory injection. You should take it to a doctor as soon as possible."

Liu Wangxue paid the money and bought a small blanket for the dog and put it in the basket.

The dog whimpered at Liu Wangxue a few times, and Liu Wangxue touched its head.

She called Liu Nanshan, told him what was going on, and then went to the city with Xu Qingsong and chose a pet hospital with a good reputation online.

After explaining the situation, the doctor did a detailed examination and said, "It's a golden retriever, less than a year old. It does have some gastrointestinal problems, which will take some time to recover from. Nothing else is serious, there are some parasites, which can be killed. There is also some dermatitis on the abdomen, which can be cured with some medicine."

The doctor asked again: "It's a stray dog, right?"

Liu Wangxue nodded.

The doctor said, "It needs to be vaccinated. Do you want to adopt it or send it to a shelter?"

Liu Wangxue hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.

Xu Qingsong explained the dog's condition to the doctor, who expressed his understanding but did not try to persuade him from a moral high ground.

Liu Wangxue couldn't bear it, so he talked to the doctor and temporarily put the dog in this hospital for treatment.

It's not easy for stray pets to meet kind people, so the doctor couldn't help but say, "If you want to adopt the pet, you can come and see it from time to time in the next few days, play with it or feed it, and cultivate some feelings. If the dog is willing to go with you, you can take the certificate I issued to the relevant department to go through the formalities. If it doesn't want to go, I will contact someone to send it to the shelter."

"Okay." Liu Wangxue made a decision in his heart.

Before leaving, he went to say hello to it: "Stay here and let the doctor treat you. I'll come to see you tomorrow, okay?"

The dog looked up at her.

Liu Wangxue said as he pulled up the dog's front paw and clapped his hands: "OK, we have a deal!"

The dog whimpered a few times.

On the way back, Xu Qingsong was still driving. Liu Wangxue kept his head down and checked his phone, looking for some posts about golden retrievers.

Xu Qingsong glanced at her and said, "You are so serious. What a pity. You can't see it if you touch the porcelain."

"Even if it saw it, it wouldn't understand." Liu Wangxue said with a smile.

"Not necessarily," Xu Qingsong said, "It is said that smart dogs can sense their owner's emotions."

Liu Wangxue had just seen a related post and agreed: "Then when we meet tomorrow, I will try to let it sense it."

After returning home, they found that Tao Huayu had created a small group for them, called "Caring for Fraudsters Group"

Tao Huayu: [ Xu Qingsong, how is he doing? What are the results of the examination? ]

Liu Xu sent a voice message back, explaining the situation.

Yue Cheng: [How lucky you are to be hit by a car]

Lan Xiaoxi: [Sister Xuxu, you are so kind (starry eyes )]

Designer Li Yu: [Dog food and toys are ready, waiting for the return of the touch porcelain (*^_^*)]

Xu Qingsong: [Payment ]

Xu Qingsong: [Funds have been raised. We will all support the scammers together. Please deposit the money into this account. Thank you.]

Tao Huayu: [ Xu Qingsong should have some shame]

Yue Cheng: [ Xu Qingsong be a human being]

Lan Xiaoxi: [Hee ]

Designer Li Yu: [ Xu Qingsong, your code cannot be scanned, please send it again]

The group suddenly went quiet for a moment, and then the screen was filled with crazy "Hahahaha" sounds.

Liu Xu: [ Designer Li Yu is joking]

Designer Li Yu: [ 许青松]

Designer Li Yu: [One palm blows ] Chapter 16 Going Home

During this week, Liu Wangxue and her parents turned over the vegetable plot in the morning and divided it into small plots.

Gu Xuelan bought many kinds of seeds, such as bok choy, amaranth, water spinach, and wood spinach. She just scattered the seeds directly into the ground.

For pumpkin, loofah, cucumber, melon, etc., you have to dig holes and bury the seeds at regular intervals, and also order some beans and green beans.

Liu Nanshan is also thinking about tomatoes. Although the tomatoes planted earlier have already bloomed and borne fruit, it is not too late to plant them now.

I planted one row of the kind of juicy, sandy tomatoes I ate when I was a kid, and I planted two rows of small tomatoes to suit Liu Wangxue's taste.

Gu Xuelan went to the market again and bought some sweet potato seedlings and green onions and planted them together.

During this period, the succulents and nutrient soil that Gu Xuelan bought also arrived. Each pot of succulent plant was plump and very cute.

Those that like sunlight are placed in the sunroom, and those that like shade are placed under the grape trellis. Liu Nanshan has made simple flower stands for them.

After lunch, Liu Wangxue drove to the city's pet hospital to see the dog. Sometimes Xu Qingsong would go along with her, and the two of them would play with the dog and feed it together.

The relationship has obviously improved a lot.

Early that morning, Liu Wangxue went to the pet hospital with Xu Qingsong. Whether they could adopt the dog depended on whether the dog was willing to go with her.

After a week of careful care, the dog has changed a lot. The most obvious change is that it has become more energetic and its fur has become shiny. Looking at Liu Wangxue with wet eyes, her heart is about to melt.

Liu Wangxue squatted down, rubbed its face, and said with joy in his eyes, "Will you come home with me?"

"Woof!"

Xu Qingsong smiled and patted the dog's head: "Oh, did you understand?"

The dog dodged Xu Qingsong's hand and rubbed Liu Wangxue's knee.

Liu Wangxue stood up and tentatively walked out into the hall, and the dog followed.

The dog followed her every few steps, and when she stopped, the dog stopped too.

"Haha," Liu Wangxue looked at Xu Qingsong and laughed very happily, then walked out with confidence.

Xu Qingsong took out his mobile phone from behind, took a video and sent it to the small group.

Tao Huayu: [Oh, is this really a scam?]

Lan Xiaoxi: [I suddenly became beautiful]

Designer Li Yu: [Ah! It wants to go home with Sister Xuxu, right?]

Yue Cheng: [Is this the charm of a goddess?]

Yue Cheng: [Withdrawn a message]

Yue Cheng: [Congratulations, Pengcier is a good dog who knows how to repay kindness]

Designer Li Yu: [When will 柳絮 go back? I want to see it (dog happily spinning in )]

Xu Qingsong: [I will take it to get a dog license later and return home after it is done]

Designer Li Yu: [Wait for me!]

Liu Wangxue paid the rest of the fee and listened to the doctor's introduction to the usage and dosage of some medicines. Finally, he picked out some special dog supplies, as well as dog food, shower gel and so on.

Only after doing all this did I have time to read the messages in the group. I took a front-facing photo of the dog and sent it to the group.

Willow catkins: [I have a home now~]

Xu Qingsong helped carry the things out, and Liu Wangxue put a collar and leash on the dog. When they were almost at the door, the dog suddenly barked twice.

The two stopped, it barked twice more, then turned and ran inside.

The traction rope slipped out of his hand, and Liu Wangxue was stunned and at a loss.

Xu Qingsong was also a little surprised. He put down his things and said comfortingly, "It's okay. I'll go check it out."

The doctor who was communicating with another client noticed the situation and came over to say, "It's okay. It's willing to wear the collar, which means it recognizes you. Don't worry, just wait and see."

After a while, the dog ran out happily with a small blanket in its mouth and stopped at Liu Wangxue's feet.

"Woof!"

The small blanket fell to the ground.

The doctor was amused: "See, that's what I said."

Liu Wangxue squatted down and picked up the small blanket - the one she bought at the pet shop in town. She smiled and hugged the dog, her heart softened.

Xu Qingsong picked up the things again and praised, "Not bad, it's a good dog, nostalgic, hahahaha."

Liu Wangxue grabbed the leash again, smiling like a red cherry in the sun: "Let's go."

The things were placed in the trunk, Xu Qingsong drove, and Liu Wangxue and the dog sat in the back seat.

Xu Qingsong asked: "Have you thought of a name for it?"

"Yes, you have to fill in your name on the ID." Liu Wangxue scratched the dog's chin, and it squinted its eyes comfortably. "What should I call you?"

Xu Qingsong smiled and said, "Why not call it 'Pingci'? It's quite memorable."

"That's right," Liu Wangxue recalled the dirty and sick dog a week ago, "If it wasn't for the scam, I wouldn't have met it."

Xu Qingsong glanced at the rearview mirror and shouted, "It's a scam! It's a scam!"

"Hahaha," Liu Wangxue laughed a few times, "It ignored you, which means it doesn't like this name."

"Okay." Xu Qingsong sighed in a pretentious manner.

"This name is really not nice," Liu Wangxue said, holding the dog's face, "Then let's change it to 'Peng Peng', how about that?"

Xu Qingsong continued: "This is no different from scamming people."

"Woof!"

"Hey, it agreed!" Liu Wangxue was very surprised.

"No way!"

Liu Wangxue tried calling out again, "Bang bang?"

"Woof!"

"Bump."

"Woof woof!"

When I got home after getting the dog license, it was already noon and Liu Nanshan had already prepared lunch.

After getting out of the car, Xu Qingsong just helped take the things out of the trunk when he received a call.

"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? I just came back from the city." Xu Qingsong smoothed back his hair. "Okay, okay, I'll be there right away."

"What's wrong?" Liu Wangxue asked.

Xu Qingsong looked tired: "It's still the work of that small program. There was a small problem, so they insisted that I go over there."

After saying that, he said hello to Liu Nanshan: "Uncle, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Liu Nanshan was playing with the dog. Hearing this, he stood up and said, "What's the matter? I've already prepared dinner. Come after dinner."

"It's work, and they're rushing to help me. I have to get over there quickly. I'll be leaving first." After saying that, he hurried back and drove the car.

Liu Nanshan asked Liu Wangxue: "What's the matter? Why can't you even let me eat a bite of food?"

Liu Wangxue was not sure either: "It seems to be a small program job I took last month. Where's my mom?"

"Go to the back, pick some green onions, and fry some green onion oil for the cold noodles I'm making."

As they were talking, Gu Xuelan came back: "Hey, the dog is back?"

Liu Nanshan was still curious: "It has to be our daughter! So many people wanted to adopt this little guy, but he wasn't willing. Are they just waiting for our daughter? Huh?" He teased him again.

Liu Wangxue went in and poured a glass of water, and almost choked when he heard the words.

"Woof!" Peng Peng called out to Liu Wangxue.

Liu Wangxue thought it wanted to drink water, so she put out its dog bowl, poured some water into it, and let it drink.

Gu Xuelan didn't bother to pay attention to her daughter's boasting. She handed him the green onion, touched his back, and said, "You look more energetic than that day."

(End of this chapter) Chapter 17 Peng Peng

Peng's doghouse was placed next to the sofa in the living room, covered with its favorite blanket. Liu Wangxue bought it two dog bowls, one for drinking water and one for eating dog food.

I don't know if it was because Liu Wangxue saved it, or because it felt uneasy because it was moved to a strange place, but after coming back, Pengpeng kept sticking to Liu Wangxue.

After lunch, when Liu Wangxue took a nap, it lay beside the bed; when Liu Wangxue sat under the grape trellis to read with a tablet, it jumped onto another rocking chair and lay there quietly.

Liu Wangxue thought it was a shy and quiet golden retriever.

In the afternoon, Li Yu came over and brought some dog food and toys. Tao Huayu also came, bringing some for Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi.

The two of them found it very novel to watch the collision.

Tao Huayu wanted to rub it, but Peng Peng just barked at him and dodged away.

Tao Huayu laughed and scolded: "Hey, you little heartless boy, you ate my food and ignored me before, now you not only eat my food but also play with my toys and won't even let me touch them!"

Li Yu looked at him disapprovingly: "Your perverted method would make any normal dog hide."

"Okay," Tao Huayu grinned and stretched out his hand towards Li Yu, "Then I'll rub you!"

Li Yu's hair was messed up by him, and her face turned red with anger. I hate people who have no sense of boundaries.

Liu Wangxue came over with some cut watermelon and rescued him from the clutches of the devil.

The three of them sat under the grape trellis, eating watermelon and chatting.

Suddenly, Pengpeng placed its front paws on Liu Wangxue's knees and barked twice.

Liu Wangxue handed the watermelon in his hand over, took a big bite, and lay back on the floor to start eating.

Tao Huayu swayed in the rocking chair, a breeze blew over, he squinted his eyes comfortably, and twitched the succulents on the flower stand next to him: "This small courtyard is really nice, I also want to have one at home."

Liu Wangxue said, "Sure, doesn't your house have a yard too?" She wanted Li Yu to talk more, and nodded at him with a smile in her eyes, "The designer is right here."

Pengpeng asked for another piece of watermelon. Liu Wangxue was afraid that it would not eat too much, so after giving it to Pengpeng, she said, "This is the last piece. You can't eat any more."

Peng Peng woofed and lowered his head to chew.

Tao Huayu came over and asked Li Yu: "Xiaoyu, help me design one, just make one similar to this one."

Li Yu spit the watermelon seeds into his palm and said, "I'm going to start working on my graduation project. I'm very busy."

It was a tactful refusal.

Tao Huayu didn't really want to do it, he just made a joke and let it go.

As expected, Pengpeng finished eating the piece of watermelon and didn't ask for any more.

Tao Huayu was very surprised and asked Liu Wangxue: "Why is Pengpeng so obedient? No, can it understand what you say?"

"Wake up, this is not a fantasy world." Liu Wangxue found it funny. "Maybe it was full, it just happened. But I feel like it doesn't like to move. It was still playing happily in the hospital, but it just lay there after coming back."

Li Yu said: "It may have just gotten familiar with the hospital environment, and then moved to an unfamiliar environment, so it may be in a low mood for a while. And it doesn't know what kind of temper you have as its owner, so it behaves very well. During this period, you need to give it more care and attention to help it adapt as soon as possible."

Liu Wangxue originally thought that Li Yu would only talk about his major, but now she looked at him with great surprise.

"Xiao Yu knows a lot." Tao Huayu was also surprised.

Li Yu lowered his eyes, his lonely gaze resting on Peng Peng: "I wanted to have a golden retriever when I was a child, but my mom is allergic to dog hair. Now... I don't have time. Sister Xuxu, can I come to see Peng Peng often?"

Before Liu Wangxue could say anything, Tao Huayu deliberately picked a quarrel: "Who just said that you are busy with graduation project?"

Li Yu's face turned red instantly.

"Of course you can." Liu Wangxue agreed readily. He also knew that Tao Huayu was just teasing him. Seeing that he was speechless, he gave him a way out. "But you should still concentrate on your studies first. Graduating successfully is the most important thing. I will take some short videos and post them in the group so that everyone can see them."

Li Yu glared at Tao Huayu, then smiled at Liu Wangxue with eyes curved: "Sister Xuxu, you are so nice."

The two of them sat until almost evening and then went back. Liu Nanshan wanted to keep them for dinner, but failed.

Before leaving, Li Yu said to Liu Wangxue, "It used to live around here, so it's quite familiar with it. You can take it out for a run in the mornings and evenings. But be careful not to let it eat anything it pleases."

Liu Wangxue nodded in agreement.

Peng Peng followed right beside her, sticking close to her calves, and watched the two cars drive away one after another.

Liu Wangxue bent down and touched the dog's head. "It seems that I can't be lazy anymore for your sake."

Then she went back to the house, got the leash, and took Pengpeng for a walk in the fields.

The rice in the fields has basically been harvested. Some fields have bare rice stubble, while some fields have already been plowed.

Only the lotus pond is green.

Pengpeng suddenly became happy, tentatively trotted forward a few steps, and looked back at Liu Wangxue. Liu Wangxue was still a little worried about untying the leash, so she pulled one end and said, "Let's go, let's run together."

The man and the dog ran slowly on the cement road in the field for a while until Gu Xuelan came out and called them for dinner, then they went home.

Liu Nanshan looked at her panting and sweating and said, "It seems that you have raised the right dog. You should run more and exercise more."

Gu Xuelan brought the meal to the small square table under the grape trellis and said, "That's right. In the past, I would sit there for most of the day during live broadcasts, and then I would just lie down all the time, which ruined my body."

Exercise can secrete dopamine and make people happy. Liu Wangxue finally felt it and smiled cheerfully: "Okay, I will go out for a run with Pengpeng every day in the future to see if I can get a six-pack."

When watching TV at night, Pengpeng also wanted to get on the sofa. He scratched the sofa carpet with his paws, leaving a dirty mark. It seemed to realize that it had made a mistake. The innocent dog looked at Liu Wangxue.

"Oh, it's dirty. Remember to wipe its feet every time you come in next time." said Gu Xuelan.

"It's okay, it's just some mud, just brush it off." Liu Nanshan said as he stretched out his hand and patted it off.

Pengpeng thought Liu Nanshan was going to hit him, so he was so scared that he shrank his head and sobbed and crawled under Liu Wangxue's calf.

"Look at you, you scared it." Gu Xuelan blamed.

Liu Nanshan looked even more innocent, and retreated to lie on the chaise longue: "Okay, I won't move."

Liu Wangxue rubbed Bump's head and said gently, "I don't want to hit you, but it's wrong to dirty the sofa."

She took the wet tissue that Gu Xuelan handed over, wiped all four of its paws clean, and then carried it up: "Wipe them clean before you come up next time, okay?"

"Woof!"

Pengpeng sat quietly and watched the show very attentively.

Gu Xuelan cut the peeled apple into pieces and handed them to Liu Wangxue. Liu Wangxue took a piece and handed it to Liu Nanshan.

Passing in front of Pengpeng, he attracted its attention and followed: "Woof!"

Liu Nanshan fed it a piece of food.

After it finished eating, it called to Liu Wangxue again. Liu Wangxue remembered the doctor's instructions and didn't dare to feed it too much. She gave it the small piece in her hand and said, "The last piece."

As expected, Pengpeng stopped crying after eating and lay on Liu Wangxue's legs. In the next few days, Liu Wangxue easily developed the habit of running, and took Pengpeng out for a run every morning and evening.

Pengpeng became familiar with the new environment and became lively. At the end of the day, he would hand the leash to Liu Wangxue.

This morning, the sky was a little cloudy and it looked like it was going to rain. After Liu Wangxue finished washing up, Peng Peng was already waiting for her with the leash in his mouth. She took Peng Peng to the field to defecate first.

On the second day after arriving, Peng Peng defecated next to its nest and even went up to sniff it. Liu Wangxue was shocked when she saw it, thinking it was going to eat him, and she gave it a very serious lecture. Peng Peng felt very aggrieved, and from then on, he developed the habit of defecating outside.

After observing the dog for a few days, Gu Xuelan secretly asked Liu Nanshan, "Could this dog be a spirit? Why do I always feel like it can understand human language?"

Liu Nanshan thought it was good. It was easy to raise an obedient pet: "Dogs have intelligence, so it's better to make them smarter so that we don't have to worry too much."

Gu Xuelan stopped worrying about it.

When Liu Wangxue ran back with Pengpeng, it was finally raining in the gloomy sky. The rain got heavier and heavier and didn't stop until noon.

Liu Wangxue suddenly wanted to eat fried radish meatballs, so Liu Nanshan went to the kitchen to cut vegetables and prepare them.

Gu Xuelan has recently become fascinated with rope weaving. She bought a bunch of different kinds of yarn and followed the video to learn step by step. Liu Wangxue sat next to her and joined in the fun. Pengpeng played with his toys in the open space in the living room, occasionally bringing a ball to Liu Wangxue and letting him throw it, and he chased after her to pick it up.

Suddenly, Gu Xuelan's cell phone rang. It was Liu Wangxue's cousin calling. When she picked up the phone, she heard her anxious voice.

"Aunt, are you and uncle free recently?"

Gu Xuelan asked: "I'm free, what's wrong, Yanyan?"

"Aunt, my dad was in a car accident," Liu Yan said and started crying.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Just tell me what happened slowly." Gu Xuelan's heart suddenly tightened, but she still comforted Liu Yan.

Liu Wangxue also put his ear close.

"We rear-ended him on the highway. He's been sent to the hospital, but he's unconscious now. Shifeng and I are still abroad, so we can't go back for a while. Auntie, can you help take care of him for a few days?"

"Okay, okay," Gu Xuelan agreed, "Don't worry, your uncle and I will be there right now."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Xuelan hurried to call Liu Nanshan. Liu Wangxue took out her mobile phone and opened the ticket booking app: "Mom, I'll book a ticket now. I'll go back with you."

Gu Xuelan said: "No need, you are a girl, you can't help much if you go, your father and I can go."

Liu Nanshan was just about to put his carrot balls into the pot when he heard this and asked, "What can I do for you?"

As soon as Gu Xuelan told him what happened, Liu Nanshan immediately turned off the fire and said to Liu Wangxue, "Your mother is right. Don't go. The meatballs haven't been put into the pot yet. Fry them yourself later."

Liu Wangxue bought tickets for the next flight, and after her parents packed some things, she drove them to the city airport.

"Woof woof!"

Pengpeng saw that they all got on the bus and called out twice anxiously.

Gu Xuelan asked: "Is it okay to leave it at home?"

Liu Wangxue remembered what Li Yu said about spending more time with the dog and taking better care of it, so she carried it to the back seat: "Just take it with you, it's in the car anyway."

When I came back from the airport, I saw that Xu Qingsong's gate was open and he seemed to have just returned and got out of the car.

Liu Wangxue greeted him and asked, "Have you been in the city these days?"

Xu Qingsong had an untidy beard and a tired look on his face, revealing a rough and handsome ruffian temperament: "There is no other way. Their artistic and technical capabilities are too poor. They use me as three people."

Liu Wangxue laughed at him: "Then you can't be considered as moving bricks freely, you are still tripped by Party A."

Xu Qingsong yawned and said, "I am doing this for the sake of my friend. I will never take this kind of work again."

"You should take a rest quickly. I won't disturb you anymore." After saying this, Liu Wangxue went to open the gate and drove in.

Xu Qingsong waved his hand, closed the door, went back to his room and fell asleep.

Having been with her parents for the past few months, Liu Wangxue felt her home was empty when they suddenly left.

After washing his hands and putting on an apron, he prepared to fry the radish balls. Liu Nanshan didn't prepare much ingredients, so he fried two small bowls. He even prepared some unseasoned ones for Peng Peng, and fried half a bowl.

After frying, Liu Wangxue took a photo and sent it to his father.

This thing won't taste good if it's kept for too long. She thought for a while and sent a photo to Xu Qingsong: [My dad's special drink, would you like some?]

Xu Qingsong was still sleeping, so he didn't reply. She ate something and went to take a nap. When she woke up, Peng Peng was lying on the bed looking at her. She rubbed his head. Peng Peng wagged his tail happily.

Liu Wangxue washed her face, took her tablet and Pengpeng to the sunroom, made a pot of tea, and watched the show together with the dog.

Liu Wangxue browsed through all the new dramas released by major platforms to understand the current trends, and then clicked on a drama with a good creative lineup and started watching.

In the evening, it started to drizzle again, and the water ripples flowed on the glass, each with a unique trajectory. Liu Wangxue turned on the lights, and the warm yellow light made this small world hazy.

There was a knock on the courtyard door. She put down the tablet and said to Peng Peng, "Wait for me here. Don't come out."

Pengpeng didn't move, Liu Wangxue ran to open the door, and outside was Xu Qingsong. After a good sleep and some cleanup, he turned into the handsome guy with sunny temperament again.

He shook his phone and said with a smile, "I'm hungry, come and eat some meatballs."

Liu Wangxue pointed to the sun room and said with a smile: "Go have a cup of tea first, I'll go to the kitchen to get it."

Xu Qingsong followed Liu Wangxue and asked, "Where are your uncle and aunt? Are they out?"

"I'm home," Liu Wangxue said, "My uncle was in a car accident, and my sister and brother-in-law are not around, so someone needs to take care of them."

"What's the situation? Is it serious?"

Liu Wangxue shook her head: "I don't know. My sister said she was still unconscious when she called. We can only know the details after they arrive."

The meatballs were not in the refrigerator, but on the dining table, covered with a vegetable cover, and had already cooled down. Liu Wangxue put them in a large bowl and heated them in the microwave.

Xu Qingsong took out his phone and swiped it, then asked, "Which hospital?"

"Um?"

"Oh," he smiled, "I have a friend who is a doctor working there, I'll see if he can help."

"Puai Hospital." Liu Wangxue took this opportunity to wash some fruit.

"What a coincidence!" Xu Qingsong sent the contact information to Liu Wangxue, "He is the chief of surgery there."

Liu Wangxue's train of thought shifted: "Friends regardless of age difference?"

"ha?"

"Sorry," she laughed. "Usually, people who can become directors in large hospitals are supposed to be quite old, right?"

Xu Qingsong was also amused. He lowered his head and typed while saying, "No, he is a genius. He comes from a medical family. He went abroad for further studies after completing his undergraduate and master's degrees. He came back and became the director. He is only 30 years old now." Chapter 19

"People of the same age!" Liu Wangxue took the meatballs out of the microwave and exclaimed, "That person is indeed a genius."

Xu Qingsong put his phone in his pocket, carried the fruit and walked with her to the sun room, saying, "Yes, a genius beyond the reach of others."

"Then how did you get there?" Liu Wangxue was curious, "What does it feel like to be friends with a genius? You're not ordinary, are you?"

"I'm so ashamed," Xu Qingsong said with a smile, "I'm just an ordinary person. I studied games. When I was in college, I developed a small game and wanted to find a few people to help with the internal testing. Then I met a friend of a friend of a friend, and that's how we got to know each other."

The first thing Xu Qingsong saw when he entered the sun room was that Peng Peng had changed drastically. "How did you feed him? It's only been a few days and his ugly appearance has completely disappeared!"

Peng Peng called out to him twice.

Xu Qingsong put the fruit on the tea table and went over to rub the dog's head: "Why, you're not convinced that I said you're ugly?"

Pengpeng used his front paw to push his hand, and he rubbed it twice before letting go.

Liu Wangxue poured Xu Qingsong a cup of tea, handed it to him, and said, "I've been running with it every day these days, and my laziness has suddenly been cured."

"Really?" Xu Qingsong felt that he also needed to exercise. "What time? I'll go for a run too. This job has disrupted my daily routine recently. I feel exhausted. The abdominal muscles I worked so hard to train are about to become one piece."

"Okay," Liu Wangxue smiled, "About seven o'clock, it's not too late, I have a healthy schedule now."

"Okay, I have to adjust myself as well." Xu Qingsong took a sip of tea, it was Peach Oolong again. He asked, "Do you like Peach Oolong very much?"

"Well, I guess so," Liu Wangxue said, "I like Xiaoqinggan Pu'er, Fenghuang Dancong, Dianhong, and some flower and fruit teas."

This was not the first time Xu Qingsong had come in to sit after the sunroom was built, but it was the first time he had come in to drink tea. The sunroom had changed a lot compared to the previous period, with more succulent flower stands, scattered books, dog toys, and a circle of warm yellow night lights hanging on the ceiling, but the most obvious thing was the various types of tea on the antique shelf.

Liu Wangxue only had time to take out the tea in the last few days. She would brew a pot of tea at noon or in the afternoon, and drink it slowly while watching the drama with Pengpeng. Sometimes Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan would also join them.

Xu Qingsong ate the meatballs, glanced at them, and asked, "Are there any Tibetan teas?"

The phone called twice, and Liu Wangxue looked down and saw that an episode had finished. She clicked on the next episode and said, "I went to the west to play before, passed by a tea-horse post, listened to a small lecture on Tibetan tea, and tasted it. I thought it was quite delicious, so I bought some."

She suddenly became interested, stood up, took down the gift box, and took out a brick of tea. With an expression of strong recommendation on her face, she asked Xu Qingsong: "Would you like to try it? This boiled milk tea is delicious."

Since she had already taken it down, Xu Qingsong naturally wouldn't spoil the fun. He usually didn't drink tea or milk tea much, so this was a good opportunity for him to try it.

Liu Wangxue asked: "Do you like sweet or salty?"

Xu Qingsong thought of peach oolong and chose the sweet one.

Liu Wangxue bought a health teapot specifically for brewing milk tea. She took out a tea needle, pried off a piece and threw it into the filter, then took out some red dates from the cabinet under the tea table, put some in the teapot, and added water to boil.

Take out another pack of milk powder, add water to a slightly larger cup and mix well, take out the filter in the pot, pour the milk powder in, and stir constantly with a spoon. After the foam disappears, put the filter in and cook, and finally add sugar, and it's done.

"This is Tibetan sweet tea, a non-professional version." Liu Wangxue joked to himself and handed the cup to Xu Qingsong. "I drank it almost every day when I was playing there. You can try it. How about it?"

When it was brewing, Xu Qingsong smelled a natural sweetness. He blew on the cup, took a sip, and commented: "It tastes better than the ones in the milk tea shop."

"Of course," Liu Wangxue also took a sip from the cup and said with a smile, "These are all real ingredients."

After eating the meatballs and drinking sweet tea, dinner was settled.

Pengpeng also ate the dog food, and after eating, he continued to lie on the solid wood sofa chair and watch the show.

Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong were eating fruit and chatting. Xu Qingsong handed a peeled apple to Liu Wangxue. Pengpeng saw it and barked twice.

Xu Qingsong asked: "What's wrong with it? Does it want to eat too?"

"Well, it has its share of fruit after dinner." Liu Wangxue said, and cut a piece to feed Pengpeng.

Pengpeng lay down, holding the apple with his two front paws, and biting it with his head tilted, while his eyes were fixed on the tablet.

Liu Wangxue turns on the camera on his mobile phone and takes a photo every day.

Xu Qingsong thought it was funny: "What do dogs usually watch when they watch TV shows? Can they understand it?" As he said this, he wanted to test it out. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the screen, and then suddenly pressed a button, and the tablet screen immediately turned off.

The dog stopped eating the apple and instantly jumped up as if in a stress reaction, staring at Xu Qingsong with obvious anger on his face: "Woof! Woof woof!"

"Oh, open it quickly, be careful or it will pounce on you!" Liu Wangxue reminded. Liu Nanshan had also teased it like this before. Fortunately, they were sitting on the sofa at that time and nothing unexpected happened.

Xu Qingsong was a bit unlucky. Before Liu Wangxue could finish her words, Peng Peng rushed towards him. The incident happened suddenly, and he lost his balance, and fell backwards with the dog and the chair. Fortunately, he tilted to the side when he landed, and did not hit his head.

Liu Wangxue was startled and immediately went over to help him: "How is it? Did you bump into anything?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Qingsong picked up the chair as he stood up.

Pengpeng seemed to know that he had done something wrong, so he lay on the ground with his head buried in his front paws.

Liu Wangxue didn't want to spoil it, so she took its claws off and educated it like a child. Pengpeng whimpered a few times, rubbed Xu Qingsong's legs, and ran to the sofa again, looking at Liu Wangxue with hesitant eyes. Liu Wangxue went over and opened the tablet for it, and it lay down to eat an apple and watch a TV show again.

This was the first time Xu Qingsong had seen such a dog in real life. He was surprised and said, "Is the dog a spirit?"

Liu Wangxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "My mom said the same thing. But sometimes I really doubt whether it can understand me."

Xu Qingsong was amazed.

Xu Qingsong pulled his chair closer to Liu Wangxue and found a few videos of "cats and dogs becoming spirits" to show her. Liu Wangxue laughed so hard that she had an idea: why not create a self-media account for Pengpeng and post some daily life on it.

Xu Qingsong said: "Of course, it's also a way to record life."

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Qingsong went back. Before leaving, he said to Liu Wangxue, "I have already greeted that friend. He is on duty today. When you arrive, just go to his office and find him."

"Okay," Liu Wangxue said, "Wait until my parents come back and let them thank you properly."

"Hahahaha, OK!" Xu Qingsong didn't hesitate to order directly, "I just want a grilled fish."

"no problem!"

Calculating the time for the plane to land, Liu Wangxue called his father and told him about Xu Qingsong's help. The two of them immediately felt relieved. Liu Nanshan called Xu Qingsong again to thank him, and after leaving the airport, he took a taxi directly to the hospital to find someone.

(End of this chapter) 2024-03-13 Author: Xuyu

Chapter 20 Returning to
China Liu Wangxue bolted the gate, brushed Pengpeng's teeth, took a shower, and turned on the computer to start editing the video. It was the one that was just shot in the sun room. It didn't need any processing, just the music and the beats. In addition, the sound needed to be changed and Xu Qingsong was coded, and it was done quickly.

She casually sent it to the group called "Caring for Small Groups Who Fake Insurance Products".

After a while, emoticons mocking Xu Qingsong flooded the screen.

Tao Huayu: [ Xu Qingsong fell well! It makes you want to do it]

Designer Li Yu: [Pengpeng is becoming more and more lively, that's great (happy )]

Lan Xiaoxi: [Brother Qingsong, be careful or you may hold a grudge]

Yue Cheng: [It's good to hold a grudge ( )]

Xu Qingsong: [Impossible, Tao Huayu holds a grudge, even dogs cannot hold a grudge]

Tao Huayu: [hammer the dog's ]

Liu Xu: [I created a self-media account for Peng Peng, Pomegranate Video, Golden Retriever Peng Peng]

Designer Li Yu: [Already following, Sister Xuxu, please take more photos, edit more photos, and upload more photos ( ▽ )]

Liu Xu: [Try your best, hahaha, I'm quite lazy]

After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed. Liu Wangxue sent the video to her parents and good friend Wenxi.

Gu Xuelan immediately called her via video. Liu Wangxue picked up the phone and asked, "How is uncle now? What did the doctor say?"

Gu Xuelan sighed, "He hasn't woken up yet, and his right leg is also broken. The doctor Xiao Xu introduced to him checked it out and said that if he can wake up tomorrow, he will be fine."

Liu Wangxue: "Where's my dad?"

Gu Xuelan: "He went to get some water and will be back to wipe your uncle's body. You should lock the doors and windows at home. If you need anything, ask Xiao Xu for help. Your father called him specially to ask for help."

Liu Wangxue: "I am such a grown-up, what can happen to me? Don't worry."

Gu Xuelan: "Okay, then you should go to bed early, I'm hanging up now."

Liu Wangxue: "Okay, don't worry too much, and make sure you get some rest."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Wangxue was ready to go to sleep when she heard the sound of scratching the door. She opened the door and saw Pengpeng sitting on the ground, wagging his tail, with his little nest next to him.

"Woof!"

Liu Wangxue smiled helplessly, made way for him, and said, "Come in!"

Pengpeng wagged his tail, grabbed the doghouse, dragged it in, stopped beside the bed, and lay down inside.

Liu Wangxue closed the door, switched on the night light, and was just about to lie down when the screen of her cell phone lit up again. It was Wenxi who replied to her message.

Wenxi is Liu Wangxue's best friend, the one who runs a Hanfu studio.

In my previous life, I had managed to gain some fame and was invited by the Chinese Department of a foreign university to hold an exhibition.

During the preparation stage of the exhibition, Wenxi learned from the Internet that Liu Wangxue was being bullied online and that Liu Nanshan had died, so he came back to help Liu Wangxue regardless of everything. As a result, he was labeled as an accomplice to the evil, and his studio was boycotted.

The whole thing was moved to the Internet. After the partner found out, he sued for breach of contract and demanded a huge amount of liquidated damages. Wenxi went bankrupt.

In this life, Liu Wangxue no longer had any unrealistic expectations. He ended everything without hesitation and protected his privacy, so nothing happened.

After she quit the Internet, Wenxi called her on video and found out about her relationship with Mu Jingsheng. He was so angry that he scolded her for more than half an hour.

Afterwards, Wenxi smoothly and successfully held the exhibition, and almost every day he would complain to him about foreigners' aesthetic taste for Chinese style.

Once, she sent a voice message in a rage: "They clearly don't understand anything, but they still insist on making comments! They say they want to highlight the mystery of Eastern culture, but mystery is bullshit! In their eyes, our culture is only mysterious, and nothing else is backwardness. It makes me so angry! I must make them open their eyes and see!"

Liu Wangxue was holding her cell phone and laughing non-stop, and also helped to come up with ideas.

After the exhibition was over, Wenxi took the opportunity to travel around Europe. After Liu Wangxue bought a house in Qiushui Town, he told her the news. Wenxi had never heard of Qiushui Town, so Liu Wangxue sent her the location and before-and-after photos of her new home.

Wenxi understood Liu Wangxue's feelings very well and supported her very much. She was also full of curiosity and love for this new home and said that she would come and live here for a while after she came back.

Wenxi: [How come this dog is both silly and handsome?]

Wenxi: [I like people who know how to defend their own things]

Wenxi: [I bought something for it, it will be delivered in the next two days]

Willow catkins: [When will you come back]

Wenxi: [Not necessarily. A big boss has taken a liking to me and wants to work with me. Hehe, my sisters' careers are going to reach new heights! ]

Liu Xu: [Congratulations, my Xi! Love you! ]

That's great, Liu Wangxue thought, with her talent, she should have been able to shine.

After chatting for a while, Liu Wangxue finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.

It rained again in the morning, so he couldn't run. Liu Wangxue sent Xu Qingsong a message to cancel the exercise. Then he took Pengpeng out with an umbrella to defecate, and played ball with it in the living room after he came back. Then he received a call from Liu Nanshan, saying that his uncle had woken up, but he had a concussion and still had to be hospitalized for a few days for observation.

Liu Wangxue was relieved, so she cooked millet porridge and fried some vegetables for breakfast. For lunch, she had steamed dumplings that Liu Nanshan had packed and frozen in the refrigerator two days ago. In the afternoon, the two of them drank tea and watched TV in the sun room.

When Liu Wangxue stood up and stretched, the courtyard door was knocked. As soon as she opened the door -

"Surprise!"

With red lips and big waves, paired with a retro Hong Kong-style outfit and high heels - Wenxi took off her sunglasses, stretched out her arms and gave Liu Wangxue a bear hug.

Liu Wangxue took a long time to come back to her senses and hugged Wenxi: "Ahhh, didn't you say you were still abroad? Why are you here suddenly! "

"Hehe, surprised or not?"

"Oh my God!" Liu Wangxue touched her pounding heart. Including her previous life, she hadn't seen Wenxi for a very long time. She had never seen such a spirited, charming and stunning Wenxi.

At this time, Pengpeng ran over and barked at Wenxi.

Liu Wangxue stroked the dog's neck: "Don't bark, she is my best friend, you have to remember, understand?"

Wenxi also squatted down and hugged Pengpeng: "Come, let me kiss you!" As he said that, he rubbed him randomly. Pengpeng struggled and whimpered, and ran back to the sun room.

"Hahaha," Liu Wangxue laughed happily, "Puppies would be shy when they see you."

Wenxi lifted her hair and pretended to be modest: "Well, we are all beautiful women, so don't be so polite."

Liu Wangxue was so excited that he hugged her for a while before helping to pull the luggage in: "What did you bring in these two big boxes?" They were big and heavy.

"Of course it's a gift for you!" Wenxi winked playfully and smiled mysteriously, "I promise you'll like it!"

"What a coincidence, I have a gift for you too."

The two became friends in college and have had a habit of bringing each other gifts no matter where they go, regardless of the value of the gift.

When Liu Wangxue went on a self-driving tour in the west, he bought souvenirs for Wenxi at every place he passed, and also bought her a set of Tibetan clothing. Thinking of inviting her to visit Qiushui Town when she returned, he brought them all with him when he moved.

Judging from Wenxi's expression, she seems to have made a big mistake this time. After a while, two large suitcases were open on the floor of the living room, and the sofa was almost full of things.

Liu Wangxue was stunned as she watched Wenxi line up the packaging boxes and bags printed with various brand logos.

She and Wenxi both came from ordinary families. Although they had enough food and clothing, they had never spent a lot of money until they went to college. They were roommates in college and had to work part-time to save money in order to buy a set of expensive skin care products and a brand bag.

After I bought it, I was really excited and novel about it, and I took great care of it.

One time, Wenxi's senior invited her to attend a cocktail party of a designer circle, and she asked the senior to get an invitation letter for Liu Wangxue. The two of them dressed up excitedly and went.

The senior's family background might not be worth mentioning in the real upper class society, but in the eyes of people like them who came from small cities, it was undoubtedly unattainable. The cocktail party was the most luxurious they had ever seen.

After seeing and experiencing these things, some people may be dazzled by the glitz and glamor, thinking that they have already got the ticket and that these things in front of them may really be theirs if they just stretch out their hands. But they felt as if a basin of ice water was poured over their heads, chilling them to the core.

The two of them changed back into T-shirts and jeans, returned the rented dresses, and sat on the side of the road eating fried chicken burgers. The bag that they had cherished like a collectible was placed carelessly on the ground, covered with a layer of dust.

Wenxi felt very bored: "We spent all our savings to buy a bag, but in the eyes of others, it is just a bag."

Liu Wangxue took a big sip of Coke and said, "Thinking back, what have we been doing for the past six months? We spent all our energy and money to buy nothing."

"Yes," Wenxi agreed, "It's not the right time to use these to decorate the window."

Liu Wangxue said: "Career and talent are the best appearance of a person."

Wenxi finished his Coke, crushed the cup, and became more motivated: "You're right! By then, let alone one bag, I'll buy his entire store and throw everything around for fun, hahaha."

After that, the two never went to any cocktail parties or parties again. One devoted himself to studying design, and the other to playwriting. They even found part-time jobs related to their majors and tried their best to absorb nutrition.

At that time, they still firmly believed that those who worked hard would definitely be rewarded.

After switching careers to become a broadcaster, the only "luxury" Liu Wangxue has ever bought is the red Wrangler, which has now been sold.

Due to the needs of his industry, Wenxi has some things to "decorate the house", but he has never bought so many at once.

Liu Wangxue looked at her and asked, "Are you bankrupt now?"

"Hahahaha," Wenxi laughed heartily, "It's worth it to lose everything for you! If you hadn't helped me promote my studio through live streaming, so many people wouldn't know about my studio, and no one would upload the video to the Internet. Let alone holding an exhibition, I wouldn't even get an invitation letter."

"Seriously!"

Wenxi defended: "I'm just talking about serious things. But, hey, I don't have money to buy these."

"That"

Wenxi sat cross-legged on the sofa and said in high spirits, "I never thought that the Hanfu exhibition would be so successful. Hey, Porcelain, you know, right?"

"Well," Liu Wangxue opened a pack of snacks whose names he couldn't understand and nodded, "It's said that the founder of Gaoshe Blue Blood is of Chinese descent?"

"Yes, that's the one!" Wenxi twisted her body excitedly, "The young master of their family is now the design director, and his new girlfriend is a teacher at the Chinese School, who is responsible for connecting with me."

Liu Wangxue handed the snacks to Wenxi and asked, "So the young master also went to the exhibition?"

"Yes!" Wenxi pinched a piece and nodded vigorously, "And he likes the design of our studio and wants to cooperate on next year's spring and summer series!"

Liu Wangxue was so surprised that she didn't know what to say. It was as if she had been favored and won a big prize. She laughed and hugged Wen Xi: "My Xi! You are so great!"

Wenxi proudly pointed at Porcelain's gift box: "Here, this is a gift from the young master. He made it himself. It's one of a kind in the world, a one-of-a-kind piece!"

She wiped her hands with a wet tissue, opened the box, and took out a cheongsam-style evening dress. It was made of moon-white silk, with a cheongsam collar, buttoned design, pearlescent lace stitching on the shoulders, and a fishtail-style hem that trailed the floor.

The lower abdomen and the hem of the skirt are decorated with Suzhou embroidery, depicting the misty water town of Jiangnan.

Wenxi said: "After discussing cooperation, he invited me to his studio and asked me to pick one as a gift. The first time I saw this one, I thought it was especially suitable for you! Would you like to try it?"

Liu Wangxue couldn't take her eyes off the phone and immediately wiped her hands. Just as she was about to take it, Bang Bang came running over with the tablet in her mouth.

It put the tablet on the sofa and barked at Liu Wangxue.

Liu Wangxue knew that the show must have ended. She gathered the things on the sofa, opened the lid of her tablet, played the next episode for Pengpeng, and then wiped its paws to prevent it from getting on the sofa at any time.

Wenxi thought of yesterday's video and wanted to experience it for herself. As soon as she stretched out her hand, Liu Wangxue held it down: "Don't, it's not familiar with you yet, what if it hurts you."

Wenxi had to give up with regret, and the two of them went to the bedroom together with their clothes.

Liu Wangxue looks like a classical beauty without makeup, with majestic and gentle features. Her figure is not as hot as Wenxi's, but her curves are graceful and charming.

Wenxi has a keen eye. This dress seems to be tailor-made for her, every detail is just right.

Wenxi walked around Liu Wangxue, clapping his hands in admiration, his eyes full of appreciation, as if he was looking at a work of art.

"You should get a pair of high heels." Wenxi said as she went to the living room, got a box, opened it, and handed the shoes to her.

Liu Wangxue is 165cm tall, and when she puts on high heels, she is over 1.7 meters tall. She moves with a flexible curve, just like a fairy walking out of the mist, with a bright moonlight, noble and holy.

Wenxi took out her phone and snapped several photos, her tone quite regretful: "Why did you quit the internet? You should have worn it during live broadcasts, letting those people see your true strength and shout 'Sister, kill me' for you!"

"Hahaha, it's not that exaggerated!" Liu Wangxue found it funny.

Wen Xi was very puzzled: "I really don't understand, this is such a perfect dress, but the young master insisted that it was not perfect and he was not satisfied with it. He almost questioned my aesthetic taste!"

Liu Wangxue looked at herself in the full-length mirror and said, "Maybe top designers like him are the most picky."

Wenxi waved her phone: "I have taken photos from all angles. Next time I see him, I will give him a blow to the soul."

Then he said with great regret: "Why did you study playwriting and acting in the first place? Wearing this on the red carpet, you will definitely outshine all the other beauties! Beauty should be admired by everyone."

Liu Wangxue looked at herself in the mirror, straightened her hair and said with a smile: "This lady can admire herself alone~"
