Chapter 17
Chapter 16 – Used To Coax Children
Li Wanqiu’s drinking capacity is not good, but it’s not too bad either. One or two drinks is not enough to make her drunk, at most she is a little dizzy and a little swelled.
Song Yu didn’t drink or drive here today, so he could act as a substitute driver and send Li Wanqiu and Yan Weiwei back.
“Aqiu, do you mind if I send Weiwei off first?” Song Yu said, with a bit of helplessness in his tone, “I really can’t handle this drunk on my own.”
“Who are you talking about drunk?” As soon as the words fell, Yan Weiwei straightened up immediately, “What is this little wine, don’t stop me, I can still go to the next game.”
“Okay, okay.” Li Wanqiu nodded, and responded softly, “You are the best.”
“Let’s go later, it’s too late today.” She said, pulling Yan Weiwei’s sleeve to comfort him again, then she raised her eyes and whispered to Song Yu, “No problem.”
“Alright.” Song Yu nodded and turned a corner at the intersection ahead.
It was indeed very late at this moment, there were not many vehicles on the road, Song Yu drove very fast the whole way, but arrived at Yan Weiwei’s house in twenty minutes, got him onto the bed, and finally went downstairs again.
“Aqiu, how is your condition?” Song Yu asked afterwards.
“I’m fine.” Li Wanqiu shook her head in response, “It’s fine.”
“That’s good.” Song Yu responded, raised his hand and started the car. After a long silence, he still couldn’t hold back and asked, “Have you had any conflicts with your family recently?”
Li Wanqiu raised her eyebrows in response: “You…how did you know?”
“Guan Chun called me.” Song Yu said, “Tell me that you are in a bad mood recently, and ask us to help persuade you.”
It’s Guan Chun again.
“Oh.” Li Wanqiu nodded in response, and did not speak again, but her brows gradually frowned.
“I rejected her.” Song Yu looked up at the rearview mirror, and then said, “I’m so busy on weekdays, how can I have time to take care of other people’s affairs, I am, and so is she.”
“Thank you.” As soon as the words fell, Li Wanqiu nodded slightly.
Yan Weiwei’s house and Li Wanqiu’s house are not far away, while the two were talking, the car had already arrived, Song Yu drove the car to the parking lot and parked it, called a taxi on the mobile phone, and waved his hand to say goodbye to Li Wanqiu.
“Be careful on the road.” Li Wanqiu instructed, and turned around again after watching the car disappear from view, unlocked the phone while walking back, and found Guan Chun’s contact information.
No matter what kind of problems happened between her and Li’s father and Li’s mother, it was her family’s business after all, there was no need to make a fuss and everyone knew about it, no matter what purpose Guan Chun had.
“Are you there?” She lowered her eyes and typed a few words, trying to make it clear to her, “I’m fine, don’t call my friend anymore, I don’t like this.”
Sent a message and got a quick reply.
Guan Chun: “Did I cause trouble to you, I’m sorry.”
Guan Chun: “I’m just blaming myself, I don’t want to see you arguing with your uncles and aunts.”
Guan Chun: “In fact, they are all for your own good, maybe you should be more considerate of their painstaking efforts.”
Guan Chun: “Aqiu, you are wrong, go and apologize.”
“…”
Sentence by sentence, endlessly.
Li Wanqiu silently looked at the screen, even though she expected that Guan Chun might preach to her, she was still accidentally burned by the phrase “You are wrong”. vomit.
But she still suppressed the feeling of nausea, raised her hand and pressed the voice button: “Guan Chun.”
Guan Chun paused: “What?”
Li Wanqiu frowned: “If I offend you, I’m sorry first.”
“But…” she said, suddenly changed the topic, “You are so annoying, stop talking.”
After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to join the blacklist, and this time finally no news was sent again.
Li Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and let go of her frown: “Huh.”
The world is quiet.
The freshly picked grapes smell very fragrant.
Early in the morning, Li Wanqiu went to the brewing workshop with Ji Jinyan. After watching everyone destemming and sorting, she felt a little curious, so she also applied to try it.
“It’s very hard.” Ji Jinyan looked sideways at her, his voice rising, “Can you do it?”
There seems to be a smile and a joke in the tone.
“Of course.” Li Wanqiu nodded, inexplicably aroused by her fighting spirit, turned around and asked the young lady at the side for equipment, and immediately participated in the work, “Don’t underestimate me.”
Her hands are very beautiful, her skin is fair and clear, her fingers are long and slender, no matter what she does, she is extremely pleasing to the eye.
Ji Jinyan saw that she was following everyone’s example, picking out the scattered fruit stems in a very planned way, carefully selecting the best quality grapes like a treasure hunt, and then putting them all in front of him, carefully removing the stems.
Every move is extremely serious, focused and hardworking. It is obviously the first time to do these tasks, but the efficiency is not much slower than others.
After a while, a small mountain was piled up in the small box next to her.
Ji Jinyan smiled, for some reason, he suddenly remembered a series of gossip about this person he had heard, that he was free and idle, had no sense of cooperation, and was difficult to integrate into the group.
As hopeless as it sounds, these so-called labels alone can scare many people away.
But… no matter how much people say, it is better to see it with your own eyes.
“Li Wanqiu.” She laughed, picked up the phone and pointed the camera at her, “Say hello.”
“?” Li Wanqiu looked over in response, subconsciously stunned, “Do, what do you do?”
“Make a record.” Ji Jinyan said, “The quality of the grapes is so good this year, and everyone works so hard, so we must post a Moments to promote it.”
“Can you?” she asked afterward.
“Yes, yes.” Li Wanqiu nodded in response. Ji Jinyan, as the owner of the winery, posted some related videos. nervous.
She paused, then subconsciously turned her head to ask the people around her: “Auntie, there is nothing dirty on my face, right?”
“No.” The middle-aged woman she asked smiled kindly, and patted her hand lightly, “The little girl is beautiful.”
“You’re pretty too.” Li Wanqiu said, returning a polite smile, turned her head to look at Ji Jinyan again, and continued to play with the grapes in her hand seriously.
It took a while to react, and raised his eyes again as if he suddenly remembered something, and whispered: “Let’s shoot again, delete the part just now.”
The voice is very soft, like a whisper.
After finishing speaking, Ji Jinyan took the middle part of the shot, raised his hand and pressed save.
Then she laughed and said softly, “Well, good.”
After recording the video, Ji Jinyan turned to look at the progress of other processes.
Li Wanqiu stood there without moving, continuing to be busy with the matter at hand while waiting for her to come back, a little tired, so she straightened up again and rested slowly.
With a glance, he suddenly noticed a small bird that had landed in the vineyard.
Bixia was built on the outskirts of the city and has a huge vineyard. It is not surprising that some small animals visit from time to time. Some Li Wanqiu can name them, but some cannot, such as the bird in front of him.
But even though he couldn’t name it, it didn’t prevent Li Wanqiu from thinking it was beautiful. Until the second before it flew away, Li Wanqiu’s eyes fell on it.
Even Ji Jinyan didn’t know when he would come back.
“Go back to work.” Ji Jin said, lowering his eyes to inspect the grapes that Li Wanqiu had processed, “Good job.”
“Thank you.” Li Wanqiu nodded, accepted her compliment generously, raised her hand and returned the equipment to the staff, turned around and walked out of the workshop with Ji Jinyan.
“Tired?” Ji Jinyan asked her.
“It’s really tiring.” Li Wanqiu responded, paused, but still added, “But it’s also very interesting. I can talk to everyone and learn a lot of new knowledge.”
“Oh right.” She said, remembering the bird she saw in the field just now, subconsciously opened her mouth to share with Ji Jinyan.
Afraid that she would not be able to imagine what the bird looked like, he turned on the phone and drew a stick figure for her.
“It’s beautiful,” she said.
“It’s really pretty.” Ji Jinyan lowered his eyes to look, his soft hair was blown up by the wind, it slid across Li Wanqiu’s face, itching.
Li Wanqiu coughed lightly, her cheeks became a little hot for no reason: “Right.”
“Yeah.” Ji Jinyan said, with an obvious smile on the corner of his lips, “The painting is very beautiful.”
She was talking about birds to her, but she praised her painting.
Li Wanqiu was taken aback, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at her. It was obviously just a simple stick figure, but it was unexpectedly praised from the bottom of her heart.
This made Li Wanqiu a little happy and a little touched. She didn’t know what to say for a while, so she just said softly, “Thank you.”
In the next second, Ji Jinyan also turned his head and looked over, staring at her.
Li Wanqiu paused: “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.” Ji Jinyan smiled, reached into his pocket and fumbled, took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to her.
Li Wanqiu lowered her eyes to see that it was still the same flavor of chocolate as the one she gave to her little niece. The packaging was pink, tender and shiny, and it shone beautifully under the sunlight.
“You bought a new one.” Li Wanqiu raised her hand to take it, a little curious for a while, “Is it still for coaxing children?”
“Yeah.” After finishing speaking, the smile in Ji Jinyan’s eyes grew stronger.
Slowly said: “Guess is right.”
