Chapter 111 City Lockdown, I've Seen It Before in My Previous Life

Of course, he actually liked the entire Qiao family.

Seeing how the Qiao family interacted, he felt a pang of regret that he wasn't Qiao Changqing and Li Wenyan's child. That way, he could have integrated into this warm family, just like Fu Yu. How wonderful that would have been.

The gift he gave to Qiao Qiao was really nothing to him.

He had nothing but countless amounts of money. His grandparents left him all their property, and although his parents didn't want him, they gave him a large sum of money for support every year.

However, when Qiao Qiao said she wanted to return the favor, he didn't refuse.

He was still a little excited, wanting to know what the gift was.

Qiao Qiao is small, with short arms and legs.

The winter coats were too heavy for her, and she struggled to put them on for a while, still not quite understanding how to do it properly.

Just as she was about to raise her little head and call for her older brothers to come in and help, she saw Feng Cheng lift up the sides of her cotton pants, which she couldn't pull up no matter what she did, and raise her whole body upwards.

They lifted her directly into the air, with both feet dangling off the ground.

"!!!" Qiao Qiao.

As she was lifted into the air and met the boy's captivating eyes, a sudden inspiration struck Qiao Qiao.

She remembered why the other person looked familiar.

Because in her previous life, she had actually met this person.

In her previous life, she ran out to see her older brother Sui Sui off, but she didn't know the way and got lost soon after leaving home. She had to ask many people for directions before she finally got back to where she lived, but she didn't rush back to her little villa.

Instead, he wanted to climb over the wall and take a look at the small villa where Pei Yiyang lived.

But she could climb up the wall, yet she couldn't get down.

Later, she encountered a group of older brothers and sisters passing by, and two of them left the deepest impression on her.

One was a very stylish woman with a scent that she couldn't quite describe but smelled wonderful. Perhaps noticing her red eyes, she gave her a bag of White Rabbit candies to comfort her.

One of them was the tallest one in the family, who reached out and helped her down from the wall.

And that older brother had the exact same eyes as Feng Cheng in front of him.

The group of older brothers and sisters escorted her back to the Shen family's villa and watched her go inside before leaving.

Before they left, she seemed to hear the group of older brothers and sisters calling him something like "Chengzi".

Chengzi... Chengzi.

Is this the lockdown we're facing right now?

"Where did Brother Cheng live before?" After getting out of bed, Qiao Qiao asked Feng Cheng, who had already unfolded his cotton-padded coat and was putting it on her.

Feng Cheng glanced at her, puzzled as to why she asked that, but still answered, "Maple and Willow Courtyard."

Qiao Qiao's big eyes lit up; she hadn't expected it to really be the same person.

"Thank you, Brother Cheng." After getting dressed, Qiao Qiao sincerely thanked him as she bent down to put on her socks.

She was not only thanking him for helping her get dressed, but also for the help he had given her in her previous life, even if it was just a small favor to him.

"You're welcome." Feng Cheng smiled and took her soft, tender little hand as they left the house.

Outside, Qiao Changqing placed a military searchlight in the yard, illuminating the still-dark Qiao family compound.

Li Wenyan sat on a chair on the steps and talked to Fang Zhengnan.

Qiao Changqing talked to his two brothers while following behind his grandmother in and out.

Seeing the large pile of bags packed up in the corner, he looked helpless: "Mom, I still have to go to Beishi to deliver Xiaocheng's things. It's really inconvenient for me to carry all this. Besides, I'll be back during the Chinese New Year. We can't possibly finish all of this."

Grandma Qiao, carrying a chicken in each hand, was instructing Qiao Changhong to cut a few holes in a burlap sack for ventilation. She was displeased when she heard this.

She glared at Qiao Changqing: "You have cars, and you travel by train, so you don't need to carry anything. How is it inconvenient?"

"Besides, these aren't just for you to eat. You can give them to your colleagues. Isn't Xiao Wang, who's coming to pick you up later, Bao Yi's colleague? Give him some to thank him."

"It's not easy for them to send you all this way. You should learn to be a good person. We can't afford to give you anything expensive, but these are fine. They're all raised by the family anyway."

The "Little Wang" that Grandma Qiao mentioned refers to the driver who brought them here.

Because there was simply no more room at home, the driver, Xiao Wang, and the young soldier who accompanied them went to stay at the martial arts school in town with the second wife.

"Oh, right, how about I bring you a few rabbits too, or some that have been processed..." After stuffing four plump domestic chickens into a burlap sack with holes, Grandma Qiao remembered something and looked up at Qiao Changqing.

Qiao Changqing rubbed his forehead, feeling utterly listless, and completely gave up resisting: "Do as you please."

Anyway, under his parents' nagging, he has already brought half a wild boar, four fat chickens, two geese, a bundle of sweet potato noodles made from his own sweet potatoes, and five cabbages that he had just cut from the vegetable garden last night because they were very sweet after the frost!

We certainly don't need a few wild rabbits!

When Grandma Qiao, Qiao Changdong, and Qiao Changqing went to the pigsty in the backyard to catch rabbits, Li Wenyan saw Qiao Qiao washing her face with the help of her older brothers.

He immediately stepped forward and took over the task, washing and grooming the little girl, applying lotion, and then giving her a big kiss.

"Sweetie, are you really not going with your aunt?" Li Wenyan still tried her best to coax him.

Upon hearing this, Feng Cheng and Fu Yu, who were standing to the side, both changed their expressions.

The former's eyes were shining.

The latter's eyes were dark.

Qiao Qiao returned Li Wenyan's kiss and then just smiled obediently, neither refusing nor responding.

Li Wenyan sighed helplessly, took out a red envelope she had prepared beforehand from her pocket and stuffed it into her pocket: "Okay, take this, use it to buy candy for our good girl."

"Thank you, Auntie. I love you the most." Qiao Qiao didn't refuse, but instead wrapped her arms around the person's neck and gave her a sweet kiss.

After Li Wenyan had had her fill of admiring Qiao Qiao and put her down, Fu Yu immediately came up and took one of her small hands in his.

Qiao Qiao let someone lead her and said to Feng Cheng, "Brother Cheng, wait for me here. I'll go get you a gift."

Of course, Qiao Qiao couldn't take the clivia out of her space in front of others, so she went to her brothers' rooms and pretended to take out the clivia.

Fu Yu followed her the whole time.

Seeing that she had only touched the bracelet and a pot of clivia had appeared out of thin air in her hand, she stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

After the initial shock, he instructed her, "Don't do this in front of outsiders again. If bad people see it... it's not good."

What Fu Yu really wanted to say was that this could very likely attract covetousness, and could even lead to his death.

But fearing it might frighten the little girl, I used a gentle word.

“Brother Yu isn’t an outsider.” Qiao Qiao said matter-of-factly.

"..." Fu Yu.

My heart inexplicably felt a little sweet.
