Thinking of this, Qin Junshan looked at Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zixuan with a smile. “Yuanyuan, Zixuan, what shall we have for lunch?”
Ji Zixuan put down his book and answered seriously, “Grandpa Qin, I’ll cat anything!”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded as well. “Me too!”
Qin Junshan took the walking stick next to him. “Then I’ll go to the kitchen and see what vegetables we have!”
He leaned on the walking stick and moved step by step into the kitchen.
Although Qin Junshan’s body was much better, he was old after all, and his body was full of injuries from his youth.
On such a rainy day, his knees still hurt.
…..
Ji Yuanyuan got up and was about to support Qin Junshan when the phone suddenly rang.
Qin Junshan had already walked to the kitchen door and instructed, “Yuanyuan, pick it up and see if it’s Mucheng.”
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan had no choice but to go forward and answer the phone.
“Hello?” It was Qin Mucheng’s voice.
“Brother Mucheng, Grandpa is in the kitchen. He’ll be here soon!”
Qin Mucheng sounded very happy. Ji Yuanyuan asked curiously, “Brother Mucheng, is there anything you’re happy about?”
“We had a city-wide mock test a few days ago.” Qin Mucheng was a little shy. “Then, did you do well on the test?” Ji Yuanyuan said as she climbed onto the sofa.
Sitting on the sofa, she asked seriously, “You must be number one in the class, right?”
Qin Mucheng was silent for a moment before he said, “Number one in the city!”
“Wow, number one in the city!” Ji Yuanyuan was really a little surprised.
How many sixth graders were there in the entire B City? Moreover, B City was the capital, a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
It was truly remarkable that Qin Mucheng could get a first place among many people.
She couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. The difference between people was too obvious.
This was the difference in IQ.!
Hearing this, Ji Zixuan looked over with envy.
Qin Junshan came out of the kitchen and asked excitedly, “What number one in the city?”
Ji Yuanyuan quickly reported the good news to Qin junshan, “Grandpa, Brother Mucheng got first place in the city in a mock test!”
Hearing that his grandson was so outstanding, Qin Junshan became even more excited. He quickly limped over and took the phone from Ji Yuanyuan’s hand. He repeatedly asked, “Really? You little brat didn’t lie to me, did you?”
“Really, of course, it’s true!” Ji Yuanyuan pressed her ear to the side of the phone and heard Qin Mucheng reply.
“Brat, you’re much better than your father when he was young. You did so well in the exam. What do you want? Grandpa will buy it for you!” Qin Junshan said happily. His voice was much louder than usual.
“It’s just a mock test. Let’s talk about it after I get into Mingde!” Qin Mucheng was not proud at all.
“Oh right, Grandpa, my parents told me to focus on preparing for the middle school exam. They didn’t let me go out to play on Labor Day. I can’t go over to see you anymore.”
Hearing this news, Qin Junshan looked a little disappointed.
However, he still forced a smile and said, “It’s okay. The middle school entrance exam is coming soon. Naturally, the exam will be the most important thing. If you can’t come over, Grandpa can go over!”
Speaking of which, it had indeed been a long time since Qin Junshan had gone back.
“Grandpa, pass the phone to Yuanyuan. I want to talk to Yuanyuan!” Qin Junshan’s mood had just risen when he heard Qin Mucheng say this.
He sighed and handed the microphone to Ji Yuanyuan. “Well, it seems he doesn’t care whether I go back or not!”
“Hello, Brother Mucheng!” Ji Yuanyuan called out to the person on the other end of the phone.
“Yuanyuan, My Grandpa will come here on Labor Day. You should come too. Let’s play together for two days!” Qin Mucheng advised. “It’s so fun here. And Qin Doudou has grown bigger now. Don’t you want to see him?”
I want ah, how can I not?
If she was seventeen this year, she might be able to go. But she was only seven this year. Her family would definitely not be reassured about letting her go to B City.
But if she went with the whole family, it would be too troublesome for the Qin family.
Not to mention the shop costs dozens of Yuan a day. Her mother might not be willing to close the shop.
“I’ll have to discuss this with my mother. I can’t say for sure,” Ji Yuanyuan said in a low voice.
Qin Mucheng was a little disappointed when he heard that.
“Okay, then, tell Auntie I’ll keep an eye on you if you come.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded. “Okay!”

Perhaps she overthought during the day, but Ji Yuanyuan had a dream not long after she fell asleep that night.
She was soaked in the cold and wet rain, bouncing along with the wind and waves.
Her mouth was full of mud and sand. She wanted to struggle. She wanted to cry for help.
But there was nothing she could do!
The flood submerged the village, the farmland, and the livestock.
She screamed loudly and suddenly sat up from the bed, breathing heavily.
She had read a lot of information about the flood in her previous life.
Some of the scenes were still vivid in her mind.
The soldiers held hands and formed a human wall; the weak girl held the tree for nine hours before being rescued; the farmers knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, begging the soldiers not to jump into the water again…
These scenes touched Ji Yuanyuan countless times in her previous life, but when she thought about it in this life, her eyes were still red.
“Yuanyuan, what’s wrong?” Li Xu, who was sleeping next door, heard Ji Yuanyuan’s shout and quickly came over from next door.
She pushed the door open and saw Ji Yuanyuan sitting on the bed in a daze. Her head was covered in sweat, and her gaze was dull.
“Baby, did you have a nightmare?” Li Xu quickly went forward and hugged Ji Yuanyuan with some heartache. “Don’t be afraid, Don’t be afraid. Mommy is here!”
Ji Yuanyuan nestled in Li Xu’s embrace and nodded gently. “Mommy, I just had a very strange and terrifying dream!”
Li Xu pulled the blanket over and wrapped it around Ji Yuanyuan. She discussed softly with her, “Let’s lie down, shall we?”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded again. Li Xu hugged her and lay down under the blanket.
It was freezing under the blanket. Li Xu clung tightly to Ji Yuanyuan, wanting to keep her warm.
“Now, tell mommy what dream you had just now. Was it very scary?” Li Xu asked softly.
Ji Yuanyuan thought about it again and again. After a long while, she slowly said, “I dreamed that there was a lot of water. Houses, farmland, people, and livestock were all flooded. The water was even higher than the houses. There was a lot of water!”
When Li Xu heard that, she quickly reached out and patted her daughter’s back gently.
“Don’t be afraid, Don’t be afraid. Those were all dreams!”
Why would her daughter have such a dream all of a sudden?
Ji Yuanyuan did not say anything else. She only said in a low voice, “But it was so real. I can still remember it clearly now!”
“Let’s sleep. When we wake up tomorrow, you will definitely forget it,” Li Xu coaxed her.
“Mom, there was an old man in the dream. He told me to prepare something to fight the flood in advance. I will need it when the time comes,” Ji Yuanyuan said sincerely.
Li Xu only thought the child was talking nonsense and did not take this matter to heart.
She patted Ji Yuanyuan’s back. “Baby, be good. Let’s close our eyes and sleep..
You will definitely forget about it tomorrow!”
