Chapter 9 What is a Ding Furnace
Although Xuan Qi showed great interest in the matter of the Xuanmen Authentic Sect, and even had some experience and unexpectedly built the foundation, Xuan Qinghe still had not made up his mind whether to teach him the authentic things of the Xuanmen Authentic Sect.
Xuan Qi also vaguely felt the entanglement in his grandfather's heart. Grandpa seemed to have great concerns. He guessed that it might be related to his golden basin washing hands.
After a while, Xia Xiaoyu came here again and asked them to come for dinner. However, Xuanqing and Chen Guisheng's house had eaten at the village head Chen Guisheng's house before, so they let Xiao Qi go there alone.
Xia Xiaoyu walked quickly in front with her head down, as if she was still in the position of what happened just now, and her face was red.
Xuan Qi knew that the little girl was thin-skinned, so she smiled and finally gave up teasing her.
When he arrived at Xia Xiaoyu's house, Aunt Liu was cooking in the kitchen. Xuanqi came to the kitchen and said with a smile: "Aunt Liu, I'm here to have a free meal again."
"Xuan Qi is here? Haha, if you like to eat the dishes cooked by your aunt, welcome to come every day!" Liu Qiuping replied with a smile, "Where is your grandfather? Why didn't you see him coming?"
"He has eaten it." Xuan Qi saw that there were already four dishes on the table, so he couldn't help but say, "Aunt Liu, there is enough dishes, no need to stir-fry it anymore. Only the three of us will not be able to finish it then."
"Have you eaten? Then I'll cook one less dish. You and Xiaoyu will eat first, and I'll be fine here soon." Liu Qiuping looked back at Xuan Qi again and said, "It's different in the city. After reading for a while, my whole body has changed, whiter and more handsome than before."
"Aunt Liu was joking, maybe it was because I rarely exercised recently."
Xuan Qi was a little embarrassed by her. When she came to the hall, she saw Xiaoyu being about to help prepare her meals, she quickly said, "Xiaoyu, I'll do it myself."
He reached out to try to grab a spoon, but grabbed Xia Xiaoyu's little hand. The other party immediately pulled his hand back and whispered:
"Brother Qi, just sit down, I'll do it."
Seeing this, Xuan Qi stopped insisting. He turned around and saw a lot of awards on the wall in the middle of the hall, which attracted his attention.
The entire wall is almost covered with "first place in the final exam",
Certificates such as "Three Good Students" and "Outstanding Class Cadre".
Xuan Qi said: "Xiaoyu, you have good grades. You are about to graduate from the third year of junior high school. With your grades, you should be able to get into No. 1 Middle School."
When Xia Xiaoyu heard this, she said, "Brother Qi, I don't plan to continue studying anymore. The tuition for high school is very expensive."
"Don't study anymore?" Xuan Qi's face changed slightly. He remembered the turning point of Xia Xiaoyu's fate, which started after graduating from junior high school. He couldn't help but say, "No! You must continue to study!"
His tone was unquestionable, and his voice was so loud that he immediately scared Xia Xiaoyu. He opened his agile eyes and looked at Xuan Qi, his eyes full of confusion.
Xuan Qi also realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly sorted out his thoughts, came to Xia Xiaoyu, and asked in a sensual manner: "Xiaoyu, you go out to work to help the family reduce the burden. You don't want your mother to be so miserable, right?"
Xia Xiaoyu nodded heavily.
"But have you ever thought about how much money can you transfer to when you go out to work?"
"I asked, if I go to the south to enter the factory, it will cost more than 800 yuan a month."
"Okay, I'll do some calculations for you. Even if your monthly salary is 1,000, you can still have about 800 yuan left except for your daily living expenses. Then you can earn about 10,000 yuan a year and 30,000 yuan a year, right?"
Xia Xiaoyu nodded.
"But do you know that if you study hard for the past three years, and after you graduate, you can earn back the 30,000 in less than a year!"
Xia Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly widened.
"I'm still conservative like this. Don't look at the short three years, there are actually a big difference. In today's society, junior high school diplomas are no longer useful, high school is the most basic, if possible, it's better to go to college. Xiaoyu, knowledge changes destiny, without knowledge, you can only live at the bottom! You can only get the least salary and do the most tiring work, that is to say, you will never let your mother live a happy life!"
Xia Xiaoyu was completely shocked by Xuan Qi's words. She had never thought about what to do in the future, and just hoped that she could help her family do something sooner.
"Xiaoyu, your hard work now is actually an investment in the future. Although it may require some manpower and material resources to be invested now, it is worth it and the future returns will be very considerable. We cannot give up our happy life in the future because of the small profits in front of us. This is very unwise to do."
Xia Xiaoyu stumbled for a long time and said, "Brother Qi, I understand these principles, and I want to continue to go to school, but... But if I continue to study, my mother will have to work harder and have to borrow money from others. I know that our family can't afford my tuition at all."
Xuan Qi smiled. He just said so much to convince Xia Xiaoyu that as long as she is willing to study, I believe Aunt Liu will definitely agree with her hands.
"You don't have to worry about this. If you don't need much money to study for a few years, you can study with peace of mind. The tuition fee will be included in me."
Xia Xiaoyu looked at Xuan Qi in surprise when she heard this. She never expected that Xuan Qi would say such things. After all, she also knew that Xuan Qi's family was not in good financial conditions.
Xuan Qi whispered mysteriously: "Xiaoyu, you don't know yet. Brother Qi, I worked in business with my classmates in the county and made a lot of money."
"Really?" Xia Xiaoyu opened her eyes widened when she heard this.
Things like "doing business" are too far away for her.
"Of course it's true."
Xia Xiaoyu was indeed happy for Xuan Qi when she heard this. She asked, "But how can I use your money?"
"Uh..." Xuan Qi was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "What's wrong? You are my sister Xiaoyu! Just treat it as you lend it to you first, and then repay it to me when you make money. That's what it means!"
Xia Xiaoyu tilted her head and thought for a while, saying, "Then I'll discuss it with my mother later."
"This... Xiaoyu, that's the case. I don't plan to announce this matter to the public. Don't tell your mother for the time being, just treat it as a secret between us, okay?"
Xuan Qi felt that he was now like a strange man who deceived the little girl.
"But if you don't tell her, how can you explain?"
Xuan Qi thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will say that I have received funding from a kind person. I will send you money from another place in another name, and that's it!"
"Okay." Xia Xiaoyu nodded suspiciously.
She actually didn't completely believe this, but since Xuan Qi said so, I'll take a look at it later. If he really makes money, it's best.
When she thought of Xuan Qi saying she wanted to send her money to study, she felt as sweet as honey.
She thought to herself that Brother Qi has not changed, and she still cared about me and helped me like before. Is the city really that good? My mother is right, Brother Qi has become more beautiful now than before.
At this time, the old man's voice rang in Xuan Qi's mind:
"Tsk tsk, I can't tell, you kid is quite good at pleasing girls."
Xuan Qi glanced at Xia Xiaoyu and said to herself: "I really want to help her."
"Bad! Do you dare to say that you have no idea about her? Boy, what I am in the Xuanmen emphasizes is to act straightforwardly, dare to act and be brave, don't learn the hypocrite's style, I don't like it!"
Xuan Qi said helplessly: "I am not a member of Xuanmen."
"Hehe, of course you are, this is destined. But this little girl is pretty, with her beautiful eyebrows, white teeth, red lips, and a spring-blooded wood. She will definitely have the posture of harming the country and the people in the future. While she is still a virgin, she can collect her as a cauldron to refine her own inner alchemy."
At this time, Liu Qiuping came out with the last plate of dishes.
"Why haven't you eaten yet? I said no need to wait for me."
Xuan Qi started to have a meal after she greeted her warmly. During the meal, Liu Qiuping asked about Xuan Qi from time to time about university. Xuan Qi also picked some jokes and talked about it, and the atmosphere was very warm.
During this period, Xuan Qi couldn't help but whisper curiously: "Old man, what is a cauldron?"
"As a cauldron, this is a term for art in the room, specifically referring to female practitioners who use it to collect yin and replenish yang. Of course, you are still in the stage of "gathering vital energy to form essence", and you still need to abstinence. After you break through this state, you can consider it."
"Puff... cough cough..." Xuan Qi sprayed out a mouthful of rice, and then coughed violently. If he hadn't turned the reverse direction, the rice would have been sprayed directly into the bowl on the table.
"Xuan Qi, are you okay? Have you choked? Xiaoyu, pour you a glass of water for Brother Qi." Liu Qiuping said, and quickly patted Xuan Qi's back.
Xuan Qi choked very hard this time, and the food was mixed with peppers, which choked his tears.
After drinking water, he finally recovered. Xuan Qi said, "I'm fine, Aunt Liu, I haven't been late for a long time and I've eaten so much."
"You kid, really knows how to talk." Liu Qiuping couldn't express joy when she heard this, "Xuanqi, you have such a sweet mouth. You must have found a girlfriend at school, right?"
Her words immediately attracted Xia Xiaoyu's full attention, and her little ears were so eager to stand up.
Xuan Qi denied: "No. Aunt Liu, I am now all my focus on my studies and my girlfriend's affairs, and I will consider it later."
Xuan Qi wailed in his heart, it’s not that I don’t want to find a friend, but there is really no condition. Finding a girlfriend not only takes time but also money. He was short of these two before. He usually worked part-time jobs like a dog, so how could he still have the heart to think about these things?
When Xia Xiaoyu heard his words, she was obviously relieved.
Liu Qiuping smiled and said, "You are still young, and you should really focus on your studies. As long as you learn skills, are you still afraid of not having a wife? Come on, eat more braised pork made by your aunt."
"Thank you aunt."
"Why are you polite to your aunt? You will come here to have dinner if you have time in the future."
