Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1484: Chapter 866: Eager to Return Home

As soon as Luo Ye’s group’s car stopped at the entrance of Liangyou, Qu Yue, Xing Nong, Yaoguang, and Tang Luo all came out to greet them.

”Dead Luoluo, you deserted us to go off by yourself, that’s not very sisterly of you! Dead Nuonuo, if it weren’t for Luoluo, you wouldn’t have come to see us, right?” said, naturally, Xing Nong who else.

Yaoguang followed closely behind, expressing her dissatisfaction sourly, ”Qiu’er, they are real sisters-in-law, can we even compare?”

Qu Yue brushed them to the side, smiling politely at everyone before looking at Luo Ye, ”Ye’er, the food is ready, mostly light dishes, I assume everyone’s hungry, so let’s chat while we eat.”

Ye nodded, helping a curious and observant Granny Qi inside, while Ying Nuo quickly assisted Mrs. Qi, inviting Xing Nong and Yaoguang to follow Yue Qin, as Qu Yue, after glancing around, took the initiative to approach Mr. Qi.

This whole family, when had they ever seen such a luxurious place? As soon as they entered the hall, they felt their legs go soft, and if not for someone supporting them, they probably wouldn’t know which foot to step with first.

Zhu Hongyu and Xia Yingru followed behind, with a slight twitch at the corners of their mouths; from their perspective, the entire Qi Family seemed to be carried inside.

Once seated in the private room, Granny Qi showed a rare hint of unease, ”Ye’er, this... this must cost quite a lot, right?”

”It doesn’t cost anything.” Luo Ye smiled, pointing to Qu Yue, and introduced him to the Qi Family, ”This is the owner of this restaurant, Qu Yue; today’s dinner is on him.”

Remembering being helped in earlier by him, Mr. Qi couldn’t sit still, ”Boss Qu...”

”Uncle Qi, sit down and let’s talk...” Qu Yue quickly turned and pressed him back into his seat, ”I’m the junior, does your behavior intend to embarrass me?”

”Luoluo...” Yue Qin looked at Luo Ye, ”Is this... is this appropriate?”

”It’s too late to cook at home, and going to another place wouldn’t suit Mr. Qu’s face either, so we’ll let him host us this time.

After dinner, we’ll take you home...” Luo Ye said while looking at Qu Yue, ”Young Master, is the living place all set up?”

”The bedding, mattresses, pots, bowls, ladles, basins, washing machine, TV, etc., are all ready. Miss, you can check it out later, and what’s needed can be purchased tomorrow.”

”This... this...”

Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi looked bewildered, while Granny Qi remained composed, ”Ye’er, later on, they should give their salaries to you, no taking advantage of you like this.”

”Luoluo...” Yue Qin stood up, looking earnestly at Luo Ye, ”I want to hear Qi Xing’s opinion first, it feels... feels...”

Ying Nuo’s expression turned slightly sour, ”Do you mean to say that Luoluo would use you to harm Qi Xing’s interests?”

”No...” Yue Qin hastily waved her hands, ”I just feel that until Qi Xing has spoken, we can’t comfortably accept these things. It’s not that we fear Luoluo would use us, but rather...”

Luo Ye waved her hands to interrupt her, ”Sister-in-law, the food’s already here, let’s eat first, and we can discuss whether to accept it or not after dinner.”

...

”Who’s here at this hour?” Qi Xing suddenly sat up in bed, glanced outside, and then got up to put on his shoes.

Qian Jiale, suppressing a laugh, sat up, ”Qi Guide, there are guards outside, don’t worry about it and get some sleep, I’ll wake you when it’s time.”

”I’m not sleepy...” Qi Xing said as he walked out, ”I’ll go take a look, driving in at this hour, there must be something.”

Qian Jiale fake-rubbed his eyes, ”Wait for me, I’ll join you.”

The two went out the door, just in time to see Luo Ye and Zhu Hongyu approaching, ”Major Zhu, Major Luo, why are you back at this time? Did something happen?” Qi Xing asked with concern.

Zhu Hongyu nodded, ”Yes, there’s a bit of an issue and we need your help, let’s talk in the car.”

After taking a few steps, Qi Xing paused, ”Do we need to bring anything?”

”No need.” Luo Ye said as he got in the car, and Zhu Hongyu gestured to the two, ”Hurry up, get in one car, so you won’t need further instructions.”

”Alright.” Qi Xing readily responded and got in the car.

According to B Division’s regulation, everyone must report coming and going in advance, meaning even if he and Qian Jiale had something urgent, they would need to inform Master Zhou... um, the key is it’s already past eleven-thirty at night.

”What time do you think we’ll be done?” Sitting down, Qian Jiale asked while sneaking a peek at Qi Xing, who was staring at the time.

”Not sure, quickly could take an hour, slowly, there’s no guarantee.” Zhu Hongyu glanced at them from the back, ”Why, do you have something else going on?”

Qian Jiale spread his hands, ”I don’t have anything, Qi Zhengwei’s train is at four in the morning back home, we just returned from a mission today, and he can’t get through calling home.”

”Won’t this delay things?” Qi Xing looked worriedly at Zhu Hongyu. ”It takes about an hour to get to the train station from here, as long as we can get back to the base by three.”

Luo Ye chuckled lightly, ”Aren’t you going to ask us if there’s anything you can do to help?”

”You came here in such a hurry, you wouldn’t have dragged us out for no reason, and being able to get approval from Master Zhou at this hour means it’s no ordinary matter.” Qi Xing forced himself to concentrate, but his words were still a bit disjointed.

Luo Ye nodded, ”Alright, if you trust us, just stay silent. When we arrive, you’ll naturally understand.”

Qi Xing and Qian Jiale: ”...” This one is truly straightforward.

The car drove for about fifteen minutes, then turned into Liangyou Elderly Home, Qi Xing’s brows furrowing slightly, ”Are there any problems with one of the old commanders?”

At this place, that’s the only thing he could think of. However, he was puzzled because if that were the case, why was there such an urgency to bring him and Qian Jiale over?

They didn’t have particularly close ties with any commanders here, meaning that asking others for help would be the same.

Knowing he’s going to take a train back home, yet dragging him here, isn’t that a bit inconsiderate?

”No, there are no problems with the old commanders. This elderly home was built two years ago, covering two hundred acres, with a current population of two thousand two hundred and fifty-six.

Among them are two hundred staff members, one hundred and eighty-five are under forty years old, and only five are over fifty.

As for the elderly living here, the youngest is sixty-five, and the oldest is ninety-six. In comparison, there is a greater need for older staff.

From a psychological perspective, older staff members understand the habits and thoughts of the elderly better, making communication easier.

Of course, it’s not absolute, so the next step in the plan is for staff to be balanced among older, middle-aged, and younger generations, making sure every elderly person here lives happily...”

”And what does this have to do with me?” Qi Xing interrupted Luo Ye, ”Major Luo, what exactly do you need our help with? Please, just be straightforward. I believe that in the middle of the night, you didn’t bring us here to tour the elderly home or suggest we work here, right?”

He was indeed getting a bit impatient. Originally, he truly trusted the other party, thinking that seeking them at this time surely meant encountering some challenging issue.

But in the middle of the night, bringing them to circle around the elderly home—isn’t that a bit too far-fetched? With his mind in turmoil, how can he have the patience to listen to her talk about the elderly home’s plans?

”Impatient?” Luo Ye stopped the car and looked seriously at Qi Xing, ”Are you blaming me for making a big fuss in the middle of the night?”

Qi Xing struggled to suppress the emotions churning inside, ”Sorry, I’m worried about my family’s safety, so my attitude isn’t great.

It’s not that I don’t care about the development of the elderly home, but can’t it wait until I’ve dealt with my family matters? Or perhaps you can just tell me what you need me to do now, and I’ll do it.”

”By introducing the plans for the elderly home, I wanted to tell you that if you’re willing, you can have Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi work here.”

Qi Xing was stunned, took a moment to understand, then waved his hand without thinking, ”Major Luo, my parents have spent their lives in the countryside, inexperienced with the world, it’s really not suitable for them to work here.

I know you’re trying to help me, but I, Qi Xing, want to rely on my own efforts to give my family a good life, without inconveniencing others in taking care of my family.”

”Do you underestimate Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi too much?” Luo Ye waved a hand, ”Forget it, I won’t argue with you. Just tell me directly whether you want them to come or not? Of course, the premise is that I consider them genuinely useful to the elderly home.”

”If they’re genuinely useful to the elderly home and can help, I would be more than willing.” Qi Xing smiled wryly, ”You know how much I yearn to bring them to live near me.”

”Good, having your word is enough...”

”You only brought me here because you knew I would be going back to my hometown tonight, and wanted me to see this?” Qi Xing’s eyes showed a hint of emotion, ”Major Luo, thank you! Really, thank you!”

”Thanking only her and not me?” Zhu Hongyu turned back to give him a look, ”Old Qi, aren’t you being a bit biased?”

”I...” Qi Xing looked helpless, ”You know I didn’t mean it like that. I just feel... Forget it, I won’t explain, the more I explain, the worse it gets.”

”Political Commissar Qi, have you already agreed to let Uncle Qi, Aunt Qi, and your sister-in-law work at the elderly home?” Luo Ye asked again.

Qi Xing nodded, ”If they’re truly useful to the elderly home, I’d certainly be more than willing.”

”Then that’s settled.” Luo Ye quickly started the car, driving towards the residential area.

”Are we going to continue... the tour?” Qi Xing glanced at the time, ”Even though there’s plenty of time, I’d still prefer to head to the train station early, that way I’ll feel more at ease.”

Knowing what the other party wanted from him made his heart yearn even more to return home. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian () to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
