114 Chapter 113, Beggar
Liu Guihua wanted to say something else, but Li Xu quickly spoke, “Alright, alright, that’s it. The phone bill is quite expensive too!”
Only then did Liu Guihua hang up the phone hesitantly.
Putting the phone’s handle on the table, Li Xu sighed somewhat helplessly.
Her father had always been in charge of the family, so her mother had never experienced anything, nor could she be in charge of anything.
For today’s matter, she was on her father’s side.
She also felt that this Yufang was probably not an easy person to get along with. Her mother had come to cause trouble several times, but she had never shown up.
However, everything had to wait until Xiao Lei and Yufang met.
When Ji Yuanyuan saw her frowning face, she reached out and patted her shoulder, “Mother, I feel that Eldest Uncle is definitely not a muddle-headed person. When he comes back, he will make his own decision. Besides, it’s not easy to find a three-legged toad, but there are plenty of two-legged women.”
Li Xu was amused by Ji Yuanyuan, “A three-legged toad... do you know what kind of person your uncle is? When your uncle went to the army, you weren’t even born yet!”
Li Lei went to the army in the spring of 1989, and Yuanyuan was born in the autumn of 1990. In the past few years, Li Lei had only returned three times. What impression could Ji Yuanyuan have of him?
Before the two of them left, they filled the store with vegetables before returning home.
“Yuanyuan, it’s almost your birthday. Do you have any birthday wishes? Mom will help you fulfill them!”
It was also just now that Li Xu suddenly remembered that Yuanyuan’s birthday was about to come.
Yuanyuan’s birthday was on the lunar calendar. She was born on the 17th of August. Today was already the 29th of July. There were still eighteen days before her birthday.
“My wish is for everyone around me to be healthy, safe, and happy!” Ji Yuanyuan raised her head and said with a very pious expression.
Not only this year, but every year from now on, her birthday wish would be this!
...
The next day was the school day, so she did not have time to deliver soup to Qin Junshan. Thus, Ji Yuanyuan slept until 7:30 am.
Ji Zixuan had already gotten up and was pulling Ji Zi’ang up.
By the time they were done preparing, it was already 8 am.
There was still half an hour before class started, so the three of them were not in a hurry. They leisurely went to the steamed bun stall in front and bought steamed buns and soy milk as they walked to school.
“Big Brother, why do I feel that person looks so familiar?” Just as they were about to enter the school gate, Ji Yuanyuan turned around and said to a beggar on the side of the road.
Ji Zixuan casually turned around to take a look and urged, “How can you know a beggar? Hurry up and finish your bun and take your thermos.”
Ji Yuanyuan stretched out her hand, “Just give it to me, you guys can go up!”
Ji Zi’ang was only focused on eating the buns and did not pay attention to what the two of them were talking about.
Seeing this, Ji Zixuan instructed Ji Yuanyuan, “Don’t run around after school is over. Wait for us at the side of the field.”
Before he could finish his sentence, Ji Yuanyuan had already disappeared.
He and Ji Zi’ang’s class were upstairs, so the two of them quickly went upstairs.
After a summer vacation, they had also been promoted by one grade and were going to move classroom.
When they move classrooms, the teacher would also adjust their seats.
Generally speaking, it was done according to their grades.
The students stood outside the classroom, and when the teacher called their names, they entered.
One table after another, from the front to the back.
As Ji Zi’ang’s grades were among the best during last semester’s final exam, the teacher called out Ji Zi’ang’s name after calling out a few students.
“Qi Huanhuan, Ji Zi’ang, you two sit at this table!”
Not only was Qi Huanhuan good-looking, but her grades were also very good.
Qi Huanhuan was the first to enter the classroom and chose a seat on the left.
Ji Zi’ang stood in place and did not move for a long time.
He recalled what he had said to his deskmate, Liu Peng, before last semester’s break,’ I want to be a deskmate with you!’
However, when he said this last semester, he did not expect Qi Huanhuan to be his deskmate this semester!
Qi Huanhuan was so good-looking that all the boys in the class were fighting to sit at the same table as her!
What should he do? Should he choose Qi Huanhuan or Liu Peng?
“Ji Zi’ang, come in quickly and don’t dawdle,” The homeroom teacher urged when she saw that Ji Zi’ang still had not come in.
Ji Zi’ang came back to his senses at once. He took three steps forward and sat down next to Qi Huanhuan.
After sitting down, he looked up somewhat guiltily.
Liu Peng was standing at the door with a faint look in his eyes that said, ‘I knew it would be like this!’
“Ji Zi’ang, I really didn’t expect your mother to be so pretty!” At this moment, Qi Huanhuan spoke to Ji Zi’ang.
Ji Zi’ang quickly retracted his guilty gaze and said proudly, “What’s there to be surprised about?”
Liu Peng’s grades were at the bottom, so he was naturally in last place.
When he walked back, he deliberately nudged Ji Zi’ang.
Ji Zi’ang was feeling guilty, so he could only pretend that he did not see it.
Ji Yuanyuan’s situation was somewhat different. They arranged their seats according to height.
Ji Yuanyuan was younger than them. Although she was not the shortest, she was still in the top few.
...
Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan’s seat was in the first row.
Moreover, it was in the middle of the first row, the seat that was the easiest to be baptized by the teacher’s saliva.
After arranging the seats, the teachers immediately got up for class.
Ji Yuanyuan held her head and thought with some sadness, ‘if I sit under the teacher’s nose, I’m afraid I won’t be able to be absent-minded for the entire semester.’
Just as he was thinking, she was knocked on the head by the teacher, “Listen well to the lesson!”
Ji Yuanyuan immediately straightened her back and stared at her textbook attentively.
The students’ loud and clear sounds of reading drowned out the sounds outside the school.
“Wake up, wake up...”
“What’s wrong? Did he faint?”
“I came over around eight in the morning and saw him lying on the ground.”
“Could he be dead?”
...
..
On the side of the road directly opposite the school, a beggar in shabby clothes lay on the ground.
His body was very dirty and his original appearance could not be seen. The hair on his head was a little long, and it was all tied up.
At this moment, he was not moving at all, and his breathing seemed to be a little weak.
There was a brave person next to him who stretched out his hand to probe under his nose and let out a sigh of relief, “Fortunately, he’s still breathing!”
A young man went to the steamed bun shop next door and bought steamed buns. He placed them in front of the beggar and said to the big guy, “I think he probably fainted from hunger and got up after smelling the food.”
As expected, he was right. Not long after, the beggar’s nose twitched and he got up from the ground.
The moment he saw the dumpling, his eyes lit up. He reached out to grab the dumpling and started eating.
After he finished eating, he saw that there was no more. He seemed to have thought of something as he stood up from the ground and staggered far away.
The crowd gradually dispersed. Only the young man who had fed the beggar the dumpling just now was stunned on the spot.
“Brother, what’s wrong?” Someone asked kindly.
“That beggar just now, why does he look so much like my Brother-in-law’s Younger Brother? He lives in Ji family bay... No, my Brother-in-law said he went to the south to earn a lot of money. How could he end up like this?” The young man shook his head, he laughed at himself for thinking too much.
