Chapter 6 Qi Yao’s Disgusting Operation

Ouyang Jian and his son in the end still left the things behind, after all Mei Xiaoran had saved Lingling’s life, how could there be no expression at all?

Looking at a bag of things left on the table, Mei Zhonghua was troubled.

He was able to transfer the children’s household registration into the city, it’s all thanks to Qi Guomin. Although Liu Fang’s behavior today is really outrageous, who let her be the captain’s wife? Anyway, he can’t afford to provoke her!

“These things can’t be touched. I’ll let someone send it back later.”

Mei Zhonghua thought for a long time and finally let out the decision. Mei Xiaoran was fine with it but Mei Xiaolei can’t help swallowing a mouthful of saliva. Milk candy and canned sweets, that’s all children’s favorite food!

“What your dad said was right, all these things can’t be touched. Later we will return it to them.”

Li Mingyun’s idea wasn’t anywhere like Mei Zhonghua’s, she only thinks that they are after all neighbors, even if her daughter took a hand in saving people, but there was no need to receive such heavy gifts from other’s. Now, the living situations of every family generally are similar, so she really can’t accept them.

(TN : at that time, those things were considered expensive items. Thinking about it, I feel really fortunate to be born in an era with buns, milk candies, and canned sweets inexpensively available as I also ate lots of these ~o~ ).

Both father and mother had decided it, the siblings dared not have other ideas.

It’s just that, Mei Xiaole secretly stares at the milk candies for a long time……

The next day happened to be the weekend and after Mei Xiaoran had breakfast, she planned to take out her summer homework and check it again. It’s going to be the start of school again soon.

Haven’t touched homework for decades, opening it again and looking at the quotation topic that was transcribed on it, that novel enthusiasm, just forget about it.

Lying in bed last night, Mei Xiaoran seems to be unable to fall asleep for a whole night. Who could have imagined it to be such a thing as a rebirth?

She just opened the assignment and heard someone knocking on the door.

When she arrived at the courtyard, she saw the one who was standing outside the door turns out to be Qi Yao.

“What are you coming here for? Our family doesn’t welcome you!”

Mei Xiaoran got angry again once she saw her, her own face and arms were still swollen.

Qi Yao coldly glared at her and walked into the house by herself, behaving like a little adult to give her lessons, “Didn’t even say a greeting to a guest? Did your parents always teach you this way?”

Mei Xiaoran becomes more furious, this is already too arrogant!

Qi Yao ran to the hall and pointed to the gift on the table then asked, “Are these the things that cousin-uncle took with him?”

Mei Xiaoran angrily said ,”It doesn’t have anything to do with you anyway!”

“How come it doesn’t have anything to do with me? The things that my cousin-uncle took is my family’s stuff. Now I will take it away for him!” Qi Yao impolitely took the milk candies and canned sweets and hugged them in her arms.

Mei Xiaoran shouted angrily ,”You put those things down for me!”

“I won’t put it down!”

Qi Yao revealed a disdainful look and said full of arrogance, “Have you ever thought about how your family was able to move into the city? Still dare to be imprudent in front of me? Just based on you like this, wants to get my Older Brother Xun to drag me to apologize, just keep dreaming then! “

“Qi Yao, don’t go too far!”

At this time, Mei Zhonghua came out of the back room and when he saw Qi Yao, he froze for a moment then quickly asked with a smile, “The eldest niece is here?”

“Uncle Mei, these are the things that were brought here by my cousin-uncle and now I’ll take it back for him. You won’t disagree, won’t you?”

Qi Yao seems to have calculated Mei Zhonghua’s attitude, felt reassured and emboldened.

“Why not……I’m also thinking about sending it back to Teacher Ouyang! Such a magnanimous gift, we dare not accept.”

Although the one he faced is only Qi Yao, a teenager, Mei Zhonghua still put on a smiling face and did not dare to offend.

Qi Yao nodded, “Since uncle Mei told me to take it, I will take it away then.” Then she also pointed to Mei Xiaoran, “It’s just that your daughter wants to stop me. What do you say?”

“See if she dares!”

Although Mei Zhonghua spoke humbly and was submissive in front of Qi Yao, when facing her own daughter he was very fierce. “Qi Yao, take away the things quickly. If Ranran dares to say one more word, see how I will beat her!”

Qi Yao proudly took the things away, making Mei Xiaoran’s whole body shivered with rage.

“Dad, you are really ……those are the things that Teacher Ouyang brought, on what basis did you let Qi Yao take it away?”

Mei Zhonghua’s heart was also very uncomfortable, he also didn’t want to lower himself to a junior, but they lived on the east side now, when one looked up won’t see but when looked down would*. The Qi family is also a rich and influential family, really can’t be offended.

(TN : often meet with each other)

“Ranran, don’t blame dad, dad also can’t help it. Just how long have we been in the city? The steps have not yet been steady, with what can I fight others with? “

Mei Xiaoran exclaimed angrily, “But the things belong to Teacher Ouyang, it has nothing to do with Qi Yao. Didn’t we agree that we will return it to Teacher Ouyang?”

Mei Zhonghua held back for a long time before he said, “Qi Yao called Teacher Ouyang as cousin-uncle, they are all a family. It has to be returned anyway, isn’t it the same whoever we gave it to?”

“It’s not the same!”

The more she thought the more angrier Mei Xiaoran became and questioned her dad, “Dad, we moved into the city and settled down in a dignified and upright way, and our livelihood didn’t even depend on Qi’s family, why are you so afraid of them?”

“I said Ranran, your dad is a farmer, the land is the life and blood of the farmer. What dad is doing now, isn’t it just because I was hoping for Qi Team Leader to give us land as soon as possible?”

This is Mei Zhonghua’s innermost thoughts and feelings. What he does now is all for the sake of the land. Without land, he can’t establish anywhere.

Mei Xiaoran was stunned. Seeing her dad’s face was full of bitterly painful expressions, she could not keep blaming him anymore. After a while of silence, she said, “Dad, you can rest assured that in the future, farmers will also be able to have enough food even without owning land. Xiaolei and I will certainly study hard and won’t let you worry. ” This is already the second half of 1979, and there is only one year left before the economic reform. As long as they can survive this one year, she will find ways to change her family’s life, and will not let her dad be inferior to a child for a little land.

“Farmers still can have enough food even without owning land?”

Mei Zhonghua thought that her daughter’s words sounded ridiculous, but daughter could understand him, he was also sincerely happy.

“Dad, just wait and see. The country’s policy will soon change, and farmers will be able to eat even without land in the future!”

Mei Xiaoran seemed as if she was making a vow, but also seemed as if she was comforting her dad.

As they were talking, suddenly from outside the door Lu Xia’s voice could be heard, “Ranran, today the school had put up the grades’ result. Let’s go and see which junior high school we will be put into..”

Mei Xiaoran then remembered there really was this kind of matter. She sounded an answer while tidying up her homework at the same time. “I’ll go to school with you now.”

“Ranran, you also go take a look at which junior high school your brother got into.” Mei Zhonghua said to his daughter who had already stepped out of the courtyard’s door.

“Okay, let Leilei wait for my good news then.”

Mei Xiaoran quickly ran out and went to the school with Lu Xia and friends.

The school is not far away from home, it’s only five minutes of walk, following along the alley on the left side of the small street to the end, and they would have arrived.

At this time, the entrance of the second elementary school was already full of students looking for their grades, which really was even more livelier than the start of school.

“Let’s go and have a look.”

Lu Xia took Mei Xiaoran and eagerly rushed to squeeze into the crowd, looking up towards the published list on the bulletin board.

Lu Xia took Mei Xiaoran and eagerly rushed to squeeze into the crowd, looking up towards the published list on the bulletin board.

Although Mei Xiaolei is only one year younger than Mei Xiaoran, this pair of older sister and younger brother are both in the same year. From the first grade of elementary school, Mei Xiaolei’s performance was particularly good. He was able to get into the grade’s top three every time! And Mei Xiaoran as the older sister, though not poor in performance, always couldn’t surpass her younger brother in the exam, but basically remained in the top three in her class.

“Mei Xiaolei, 168 points.”

“Mei Xiaoran, 152 points.”

“Lu Xia, 141 points.”

Seeing this kind of result, Mei Xiaoran was a little happy, but Lu Xia who was next to her was about to cry. “I only got 141 points. Can I pass the third junior high school? What is the minimum passing score of the Third Junior High School this year?”
