726 Realizing Dreams

“Alright, I’m fine now. Don’t be angry about this, grandfather. I’ll go into the mountains with you tomorrow,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

They needed to go into the mountains to do the last round of picking. It was now the end of the autumn harvest season. Although there were no more wild vegetables, nuts like pine nuts, hazelnuts and chestnuts were everywhere and all ready for harvest.

If they could pick a lot, they could sell them for 50 cents a catty.

“Why do you want to go into the mountains? Just stay at home and rest. I can still be in charge of picking these things. Wasn’t I in charge of it in the past? Don’t worry,” Qiao Qiang said stubbornly.

In the past, Qiao Mei was greedy and lazy. Whatever she could ask Qiao Qiang to do for her, she would not do it herself. She even needed Qiao Qiang to help her put on a coat when she went out.

She behaved like his living ancestor.

Qiao Qiang was already old. Although he drank ginseng water from time to time now, his foundation was still weak. After walking on the mountain roads for the past two days, his knees were starting to feel a little uncomfortable.

Qiao Mei could also tell that Qiao Qiang’s walking posture today was slightly different from before. She did not ask Qiao Qiang directly but quietly put two drops of 100-year-old ginseng juice into his drinking water.

“Grandfather, drink some water,” Qiao Mei said as she held the gla.s.s of water.

After Qiao Qiang finished drinking, he looked at Qiao Mei in surprise and said, “Where did you get the water from! There’s a pinewood fragrance in the water. It tastes much better than before. We didn’t have that in the past.”

“This… this is from the well. There are probably a lot of medicinal herbs on the mountain recently. It’s harvest season now and maybe that causes the water in the mountain to get better. If it’s delicious, then grandfather should drink more,” Qiao Mei said as she simply came up with an excuse.

Qiao Qiang was skeptical and just silently drank the entire gla.s.s of water. He did not want to argue with Qiao Mei now. It would not be good if he made Qiao Mei angry and affected her pregnancy.

After tidying up, Qiao Mei started to miss Xia Zhe a little. He had been gone for almost a month. The next time they met would probably be when the children were born. She wondered if Xia Zhe would even have time to come back and visit her and the children then.

The books that the princ.i.p.al had given her were stacked on her desk. When Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe got married, she had drawn a design for the old carpenter in the village. She wanted a long desk with big drawers and a small cabinet beside the desk.

The old carpenter had never seen such a table before. In order to accommodate the height of the table, Qiao Mei even increased the height of the sewing machine so that they were on the same level.

At first, Qiao Mei had not intended to leave the village. She had planned to do some design work at home. In the future, she would be able to earn a lot of money just by selling design drafts. Besides, this was also her dream in her other life.

She had accidentally become a lawyer back then. However, in the beginning, her dream was to be a designer and build up her own brand. This was also the reason why she did handicrafts.

Since the heavens had given her a new life, she must work hard to realize her dream and make up for the regrets in her other life.

She must cherish the time she had.

Perhaps she could write some literary works now and become a rising star in the literary world in the next 30 years!

Qiao Mei gradually fell asleep with her beautiful dreams.

Somewhere else, the Kong family was in an uproar. Ever since Kong Lu returned home, Old Madam Kong had not been idle for a single day. She sat next to Kong Lu every day and chattered non-stop.

If it was not bad things about Xia He, then it was about the Xia family being heartless, or that it had not been easy for her to raise a child like Kong Lu. Now that Kong Lu had grown up, not only was he not filial to her, he even wanted to anger her to death.

The neighbors could not get a good night’s sleep. Even Kong Lu had serious dark circles under his eyes.

Early in the morning, Old Madam Kong started complaining again.

“Son! Bring Xia He back! It’s been so many days. What else does she want? Is she really not coming back?” Old Madam Kong said.

“That’s right! When I was in the capital, my sister-in-law didn’t treat me well!” Kong Li wanted to add fuel to the fire, but Kong Lu glared at her.

Did he have to list down all the embarra.s.sing things that Kong Li had done in the capital? If not for Kong Li causing trouble every day, he would not have to compensate the Xia family so much money in his capacity as her elder brother.

He had been trying to raise the money for half a month and had only gathered 1,800 dollars so far. He was still short of 200 dollars and could not manage to borrow that amount at all.
