Chapter 83 Ah Qiu's Hard Work

After entering the house, Su Nuannuan took out a watermelon from her spatial storage, cut it into the shape of a triangular cone, put it in a straw-woven plate, and then filled a cup of water with an enamel mug.

When Su Nuannuan came out, A Qiu was sitting next to the wooden carriage under the sun.

When A Qiu looked over, Su Nuannuan waved to her and said loudly.

"Ah Qiu, come over here and have some water."

A Qiu immediately noticed the watermelon on the plate Su Nuannuan was carrying and subconsciously swallowed.

After glancing around and finding no one, he walked towards Su Nuannuan.

A Qiu was very tall, about 1.8 meters. But her eyes were bright and full of simplicity, and Su Nuannuan liked her very much.

In addition, after overhearing about A Qiu's background, Su Nuannuan felt even more pity for A Qiu.

Seeing the two lines of sweat on the other person's dark and thin face, Su Nuannuan felt sorry for him.

"Why are you sitting in the sun? It's so hot."

After saying that, without waiting for A-Qiu's reply, he handed her the tray he was carrying. Then, he pulled out a stool from behind the door.

I was in such a rush when I came in that I forgot to get a stool for A-Qiu.

After Su Nuannuan took out the stool, she let A Qiu sit down and then placed the tray on another stool.

"Ah Qiu, these are all prepared for you, eat up."

After saying that, Su Nuannuan pushed the tray towards A Qiu.

The bright red watermelon flesh shimmered under the sunlight, and the sweet aroma of watermelon filled the air and wafted into A Qiu's nose.

Although A Qiu had some suspicions when Su Nuannuan handed her the tray, she still found it hard to believe.

Her eyes widened in surprise, she pointed at herself, and her mouth gaped open silently.

Su Nuannuan nodded with a smile in her eyes.

"Well, here you go."

Upon hearing this, A Qiu's eyes flashed with surprise. He wiped his hands on his clothes a couple of times, then picked up a slice of watermelon and started eating.

A-Qiu ate very slowly, often chewing each bite more than a dozen times, as if trying to extract all the juice from the watermelon flesh before swallowing. Towards the end, A-Qiu even started gnawing on the white parts of the rind.

If Su Nuannuan hadn't stopped her, A Qiu would have eaten the outermost green skin.

After eating a slice of watermelon, A-Qiu stopped and picked up the enamel mug next to him to drink water.

Su Nuannuan only thought that A Qiu was a little thirsty.

However, after A-Qiu finished drinking the water, she didn't touch the watermelon anymore.

Seeing A Qiu's awkwardness, Su Nuannuan knew that the other person was probably embarrassed.

So he said to the other party.

"Ah Qiu, don't worry. I still have some in my house. These are all for you. If you don't eat them, I can't finish them all by myself, it would be too wasteful."

After saying that, Su Nuannuan frowned in distress.

A-Qiu wasn't very bright. Even though Su Nuannuan's words were full of holes, she believed them. Moreover, she didn't realize that Su Nuannuan was deliberately making her eat it.

A Qiu's face scrunched up, but in the end, she nodded and agreed with Su Nuannuan's statement.

However, she still didn't reach for the watermelon.

Instead, he took out a small notebook and pen from his pocket and began writing on it.

Su Nuannuan waited quietly for A Qiu.

Su Nuannuan only saw the contents of the notebook after A Qiu finished writing.

On a small piece of paper was written: Comrade Su, may I take the watermelon home?
After reading it, Su Nuannuan met A Qiu's bright eyes. Thinking of A Qiu's family situation, she remained silent for a moment, then agreed.

While Su Nuannuan remained silent, A Qiu initially thought she wouldn't be able to take it back. However, the next second, Su Nuannuan agreed to her request.

A-Qiu's eyes instantly brightened. Looking at the fresh and delicious watermelon on the tray, her mind was filled with images of her younger siblings eating watermelon, and she was overjoyed.

Su Nuannuan's silence just now wasn't because she didn't want A Qiu to take the watermelon back. Rather, it was because she felt powerless in the face of this era.

In China, there are still many people like A Qiu. Behind her back, they may be living even worse lives than A Qiu. However, Su Nuannuan is powerless to stop it all.

Even though she possessed a powerful spiritual spring space, her power was ultimately too weak to do much.

Su Nuannuan felt a little depressed.

However, it quickly dissipated.

After finishing his water, A-Qiu planned to go to the department store to help her bring back the desk and chair.

Originally, Su Nuannuan wanted her to rest a little longer, but A Qiu felt that she had already taken advantage of Su Nuannuan and was unwilling to continue resting.

Helpless, Su Nuannuan could only follow A Qiu to the department store.

They had a wooden cart, so they didn't have to exert much effort to pull the desk and chair back.

A Qiu also helped Su Nuannuan move her desk and chair into her study.

After doing all this, A-Qiu wanted to say goodbye and leave.

Su Nuannuan quickly grabbed her.

"Ah Qiu, it's already noon. Let me invite you to have lunch at the state-run restaurant."

A Qiu shook his head, took out his notebook and pen, and started writing on it.

I need to go home for lunch.

Su Nuannuan didn't know what A Qiu was doing, but she didn't ask any further questions.

Knowing that A Qiu was in a hurry to go home, Su Nuannuan did not try to keep her.

As she left, Su Nuannuan put the remaining watermelon into a bag for her, along with a pound of biscuits. Because the bag was black, A Qiu didn't see what was inside when Su Nuannuan handed it to her.

After Su Nuannuan gave A Qiu five yuan, she told her to hurry home.

When A Qiu returned home, he was just about to return the wooden cart to Old Man Xu.

A-Qiu carried a bag in her hand, a joyful smile on her face, and even her steps seemed lighter.

When she returned, she used her key to open the front door of her house.

The two children inside heard the sound of the door lock and knew their older sister had returned, so they rushed out of the house.

There were two children, a boy and a girl. However, they were both dressed in tattered clothes, their garments covered in patches. Their faces were fair and delicate, though they were rather thin.

Their gazes toward A-Qiu were filled with affection.

A-Qiu looked at them with gentle eyes. She reached out and gently patted their heads.

After gesturing with their fingers in the air a few times, the two children's faces instantly lit up with happy smiles.

They can't speak, but they seem to have their own language logic. Even if you don't know sign language, you can still understand what they are trying to say.

A Qiu led the two back into the house and opened the black bag that Su Nuannuan had given her.

After she left, she didn't look inside. However, she could smell the sweet aroma of watermelon, though it was rather strong. A-Qiu didn't think much of it.

However, when A Qiu opened the bag, she found that the watermelon inside, plus the slice she had eaten, made up a whole watermelon.

When A Qiu saw the watermelon in the bag, she was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was a kind gift from Su Nuannuan.

She then noticed something wrapped in paper next to the watermelon. She opened it, and a rich, sweet aroma wafted out; inside were pieces of yellow, square cookies.

A Qiu opened her mouth, but when she thought of Su Nuannuan, who had never shown any discrimination against her, her eyes instantly became dry.

After a long while, she finally realized what was happening and called her younger siblings over to eat.
