Chapter 277 Roasted sweet potatoes, wait for me

Zhou Qi's face paused slightly, he changed his position and lay down, and murmured in a low voice: "We believe in sacrificing ourselves for others, but it depends on what aspect."

"Even if I sacrifice myself for others, I should sacrifice myself for others. It belongs to you, and it is given to the child by the child's grandfather. What I hate most in my life is that some men talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but in the end they give away their wife's things in order to show their noble character. people."

"Others can do it, but I can't. In my heart, you always come first."

"As for me becoming selfish... Huxuzi is a person who keeps things safe. The meaning of seeking good things is as exaggerated as Xie Qing said, it's just feudal superstition."

"And didn't you agree today? If she really wants it, I'll find another one from my comrades another day. It doesn't feel good to give something to someone else when something that belongs to you changes hands."

When he said this, there was no hesitation at all.

Xie Yanqiu stared at the ceiling in a daze. Zhou Qi's words removed the big stone from her heart.

"Okay, then go to bed early, we have to buy new year's goods tomorrow."

Zhou Qi agreed: "Yes."

Turn over and hug Xie Yanqiu, closing her eyes.

Han Shuna got up early in the morning to cook. This year's Chinese New Year is the year when the Zhou family has the largest number of people. In previous years, either Zhou Qi and Zhou Jianguo were not at home, or only one was at home. Anyway, their family has not been so lively in many years.

Xie Qing got up early. After helping Niu Niu wash up, he went into the kitchen to make breakfast with Han Shuna.

"Qingqing, you go back and rest, I can do it myself."

"Aunt Han, I'm used to getting up early and can't sit still, so I'll do it."

Han Shuna was embarrassed to let Xie Qing, as a guest, make breakfast by herself, so she helped out and the two slowly started chatting.

"Qingqing, did you get up in the morning to cook at Chen's house before?"

Hearing the Chen family, Xie Qing's chopping hands paused for a second, and then responded in a low voice: "Yeah."

"I used to get up before dawn every day to cook. If I didn't cook, I would be beaten."

"Beat?!" Han Shuna was stunned for a moment. She only knew that Xie Qing was divorced and raising children and was not living a good life. She had never heard of her being beaten before.

Xie Qing nodded and said in a calm voice: "Being beaten is commonplace. As long as something small happens, whether it is my fault or not, Chen Liu and Li Guizhi will find reasons to beat me to vent their anger."

Han Shuna angrily said: "That's too much! Haven't you ever thought about divorce or running away?"

Xie Qing shook his head: "I can't escape. I still have children. If I escape, they will kill Niuniu. Divorce is even more impossible. If I divorce my children, I won't even be able to find a job to make a living in the village, let alone remarry. They can’t find any work, so they have to starve to death.”

Han Shuna said in a detective tone that Xie Qing was right. In rural areas, married girls throw water and divorced women will only become a shame to the family.

Not to mention wanting to go back home and live the old life again.

Under such circumstances, Xie Qing might still be able to survive in the Chen family.

Thinking of this, Han Shuna fell silent, and even regretted bringing up this topic just now.

Xie Qing glanced at Xie Yanqiu's closed bedroom door, full of envy: "I envy Yanqiu very much. She has a better fate than me, marrying a man who loves her like Zhou Qi."

Han Shuna chimed in: "You will also meet better ones in the future."

Xie Qing shook his head: "Aunt Han, please stop comforting me. What man would want me? I also carry a oil bottle. If I can live half the life of Yanqiu, I will be satisfied."

Han Shuna's heart ached for a moment, and she looked distressed: "If you don't dislike her, Auntie will help you find another one for you to go on a blind date with."

"It's hard to find a three-legged toad in this world, but there are two-legged men everywhere. Qingqing, you are good-looking and hard-working. You will definitely find someone who really cares about you."

When it came to the blind date, Xie Qing's expression changed and he said nervously: "No, Aunt Han, I promised Yanqiu to work on the island with her. I still want to support myself and my children on my own."

"Auntie can also find you a job here."

Xie Qing had a headache, his mind was spinning, and he didn't think of how to reject Han Shuna. She couldn't go on a blind date, and her target was Zhou Qi.

Just as he was about to speak, the door to Xie Yanqiu's bedroom opened, and Xie Yanqiu came out yawning.

The moment Xie Qing saw Xie Yanqiu coming out, his eyes became cold and bright, as if he saw his own savior, and he quickly changed the subject: "Yanqiu, you're awake."

"Qingqing? Mom? What are you making delicious food?"

She came over as she spoke, and when she saw the red bean paste buns being prepared in the kitchen, her eyes turned into crescents of laughter: "There really are red bean paste buns!"

"Little greedy cat, Mom still lied to you. How about giving it a try? Yesterday you said you wanted to eat it, so Mom got up in the middle of the night to make some dough."

Xie Yanqiu was not polite. He reached out and picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth. The small bean paste bun was just enough for one bite. Xie Yanqiu was satisfied: "It's delicious! It's fragrant and sweet! It's delicious!"

"As long as you like it." Han Shuna's voice was indescribably doting, and the two of them completely ignored Xie Qing, who was still suffering just now.

"Yanqiu, where is Zhou Qi? Isn't he awake yet?"

Xie Yanqiu was busy eating and gave a perfunctory answer: "He went for morning exercise. Last night he said he would do morning exercise this morning and come back later to bring us Dongshengji's golden cakes."

"Oh..." Xie Qing's eyes flashed with disappointment.

She didn't know that the man had gone out early in the morning. She always thought that Zhou Qi was still sleeping in the bedroom. He originally came to the kitchen to help out early in the morning, firstly to gain favor in front of Han Shuna and to show off.

Secondly, she also knew that Zhou Qi had the habit of morning exercises. She was busy in the kitchen in the morning, so she could see Zhou Qi earlier, and she could also let Zhou Qi see her virtuousness.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qi left earlier than usual this morning.

Xie Qingzang secretly tightened his hands behind him, and the next second the door opened from the outside, and Zhou Qi, who was moving like frost, entered.

"You're finally back. Where are the snacks?"

Xie Yanqiu couldn't wait to step forward. As soon as he reached out his hand, the man took a step back.

A flash of contempt flashed in Xie Qing's eyes, Xie Yanqiu was finally disliked by Zhou Qi.

Before she was happy for a second, Zhou Qi smiled and comforted her: "It's snowing outside and I'm cold. Wait until I take off my coat before I hug you."

After saying that, he reached out and took out the gold cake he bought in the morning.

When Xie Yanqiu saw the gold cake, he smiled at the resentment that had just emerged in his heart. He took the gold cake and turned to leave when he was stopped by the man.

"Wait a minute," Zhou Qi couldn't help but say, unbuttoning his coat as if by magic, and took out a steaming roasted sweet potato from his arms.

Xie Yanqiu's eyes widened when she saw the roasted sweet potatoes. It was these roasted sweet potatoes that she missed when she left Kongtong Island.

How does Zhou Qi know what he wants to eat?

"There was a little greedy cat who was talking in his sleep last night and kept shouting, 'Baked sweet potatoes! Wait for me...'"

"!!!" Xie Yanqiu's face turned red from embarrassment. In order to regain face, he retorted: "It's not that I want to eat, it's the child who wants to eat."
