When Qiming heard his son's voice, his hanging heart finally relaxed.
"Son, you're not hurt, are you?"
Qi Yan apologized slightly, "No injuries."
Qiming breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you're fine, I'll buy a train ticket to Yang County now. I think I'll be there tomorrow afternoon. Can you let Jiang Xin answer the phone?"
Qi Ming knew very well what his son's IQ was, and he could only ask Jiang Xin for some things.
"good."
Qi Yan handed the phone to Jiang Xin.
After Jiang Xin and Qiming agreed on the time and place to meet, they hung up the phone.
Paid two dollars for the long-distance call.
Qi Yan silently made a note to pay Jiang Xin two dollars back.
Following Jiang Xin as he walked home, his stomach growled with hunger.
Only then did Jiang Xin realize that Qi Yan had not eaten.
When he got home, he put the goldfish in Qi Yan's hand and said, "You go to the main room and wait, I will get you something to eat."
Qi Yan lowered his head in embarrassment, "Jiang Xin, I'm causing trouble for you."
Jiang Xin looked at Qi Yan, whose actual age was in his twenties but whose mental age was only seven or eight years old, and said gently, "No trouble."
Soon, Jiang Xin found the food he brought back from his grandma's house, which included pork belly stewed with Chinese cabbage and twelve steamed buns with mixed noodles. The weather was hot now, so the dishes cooled slowly and were still warm.
I originally wanted to send it to my parents to replenish their health, but now I use it to entertain Qi Yan.
He took six steamed buns with mixed noodles, a plate of vegetables and a pair of chopsticks to the main room and greeted Qi Yan to eat.
Qi Yan was so hungry that he started eating without being polite to Jiang Xin.
While Qi Yan was eating, Jiang Xin went out again.
She wanted to call He Chengyan.
This time, she found a coin-operated public phone where no one was around, making it easier to talk.
Quickly, dial the He family phone number.
The person who answered the phone was He Chengyan.
"Hello……"
Jiang Xin heard He Chengyan's voice, "It's me. I have something important to tell you. The man who can teleport is in the house I rented. His name is Qi Yan. He is from Eastern Province. He is in his twenties but has a mental age. He's only seven or eight years old. It's up to you whether you come to Yang County to see him. His father will pick him up around five o'clock tomorrow afternoon..."
He Chengyan didn't wait for Jiang Xin to finish and interrupted directly, "I'll rush over there overnight."
Jiang Xin said "I'll see you tomorrow" and hung up the phone.
She didn't know that He Chengyan on the other side of the phone said, "See you tomorrow, you can see me tonight!"
After a while, Jiang Xin returned home.
Qi Yan was having a meal. He was eating politely, but his appetite was not very polite.
Jiang Xin sat opposite Qi Yan and saw that there was only one steamed bun left, so he hurried to the kitchen to get six more.
Qi Yan was not polite, and he ate six more dishes gracefully. After finishing the meal, he burped and said, "Jiang Xin, thank you! I have a big appetite, I will work hard later."
Jiang Xin smiled and said, "I've seen people who have bigger appetites than you. It's okay. It doesn't matter how many meals you have."
Qi Yan took out the goldfish from his arms and handed it to Jiang Xin, "You are Xiao Jin's owner now. Are you responsible for settling it?"
Jiang Xin didn't answer, "Your dad will come to pick you up tomorrow afternoon. You don't have much time to get along with the goldfish. Before you leave, let it stay with you."
Qi Yan nodded happily, "Okay."
Put the goldfish back into your arms.
Jiang Xin quickly cleared away the dishes and then kneaded the noodles.
Qi Yan watched intently as Jiang Xin made the dough.
Jiang Xin was very professional in making noodles, and they reconciled after a while.
Directing Qi Yan to knead the dough.
Qi Yan looks weak, but he works quite well.
This saved Jiang Xin a lot of effort.
Jiang Xin is a little tired today and doesn’t plan to make steamed buns with stuffing. Tomorrow she will only sell steamed pancakes, tea eggs and millet porridge.
Jiang Xin needed to cook the tea eggs in advance. After more than 20 minutes, the fragrance of the tea eggs wafted to Qi Yan's nose.
Qi Yan swallowed with greed.
Jiang Xin took out a tea egg with a slotted spoon and put it into a bowl. "Qi Yan, this is for you. You can eat it after it cools down."
Qi Yan was a little embarrassed, "Jiang Xin, you are so kind to me!"
Jiang Xin smiled slightly and said, "We are good friends, and I am always good to good friends."
Qi Yan grinned, "Then I will treat you well in the future."
"Don't talk so eloquently. From now on, you will live in the distant Eastern Province and I will be in Yang County. If you want to be nice to me, you won't have much chance."
"I can mail you something then, and I'll share whatever treasures I have with you in the future."
"good."
Jiang Xin said it was okay, but in fact he didn't take it seriously at all.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Jiang Xin finished her work and placed Qi Yan in the room next to the main hall and gave him a pair of men's slippers. They were new ones she bought for her father before he had to be sent to the hospital.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Xin shouted towards the courtyard gate, "Who is it?"
A familiar voice sounded.
"Me! Open the door!"
It was He Chengyan's voice.
Jiang Xin was surprised. It wasn't even tomorrow yet. Why did this guy come here?
He hurried to the courtyard door and opened the door bolt.
Through the lights in the yard, I saw He Chengyan's handsome, slightly serious face.
Before Jiang Xin could speak, He Chengyan had already spoken, "Jiang Xin, you are so brave! You actually stayed with a strange man!"
Jiang Xin always felt that there was something wrong with these words. Was it like a parent lecturing a child? Not quite. Like a boyfriend educating his girlfriend? It's kind of like that.
"He Chengyan, do you care who I stay with?"
He Chengyan said coldly, "I can't control you! But I can control whether strangers can stay in my house!"
Jiang Xin was a little helpless, "You can come by plane, right? Are you here in such a hurry just to prevent strangers from staying in your house?"
He Chengyan refused to admit the most important reason why he came here in a hurry, and found a secondary reason, "Of course not. I came here to see Qi Yan and have a talk with him."
In fact, he could have taken a plane over tomorrow morning, but when he realized that Jiang Xin and Qi Yan were alone in a courtyard, he felt a little awkward and unconsciously took the plane over.
Of course, he wouldn't admit it even if he was beaten to death.
Jiang Xin pointed to the room next to the hall, "He's in that room. I'll go over and talk to him first, lest he reject you."
He Chengyan nodded, "I'll wait for him in the main room."
Walk towards the main room.
Jiang Xin locked the courtyard door, walked to Qi Yan's room and knocked on the door.
"Qiyan, are you asleep?"
Qi Yan's drowsy voice sounded, "Sleeping. No, not sleeping."
Just as he was about to fall asleep, he was woken up by Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin said through the door, "A friend of mine came here specially and wants to ask you a few questions. Would you like to see him?"
Qi Yan held the goldfish in one hand and opened the door with the other, with sleepy eyes, "Your friends are my friends, I am willing to meet them."
"He is waiting for you in the main room."
"Xiao Jin and I will be there soon."
Qi Yan walked into the main room wearing slippers.
He Chengyan didn't look at Qi Yan's appearance, but saw the slippers on Qi Yan's feet, "Did Jiang Xin buy slippers specially for you?"
Qi Yan never thought about this problem at all, "Did you buy it just for me?"
Look at Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin glared at He Chengyan, feeling that he was a little nervous today.
