Chapter 387 The Two Helpless Individuals
As Li Qin greeted them, he took out a box of cigarettes, picked one out, and handed it to the guard in the gatehouse.
Li Qin didn't know the security guard's full name, only that his surname was Zhang.
Since the other person was older than him, Li Qin would always call him Brother Zhang whenever they met.
Upon seeing that it was Li Qin, Brother Zhang didn't stand on ceremony at all, casually taking Hua Zi from him and then nodding with a smile:
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to you too!
Before Brother Zhang could even ask, Li Qin spoke up.
"This time, just like before, I'm visiting my uncle and aunt."
At first, Li Qin would always say he was looking for Li Huaide, the leader of the steel rolling mill, but later Li Huaide and his wife took the initiative to greet the gatekeeper.
He said Li Qin was his nephew.
It was precisely because of this that the gatekeeper dared to get a little closer to Li Qin.
After all, this place is home to some leaders.
Brother Zhang nodded, then took out a booklet and handed it to Li Qin, along with a pen.
"As usual, please register your detailed information."
Since they knew each other, Brother Zhang naturally didn't need to check Li Qin's identity documents.
Since Li Huaide and his wife had already given prior notice, there was no need to contact Li Huaide to confirm.
However, registration is a requirement and cannot be omitted.
Li Qin knew this too, so he immediately took the booklet and pen and began to fill in his information.
Li Qin had gone through this process many times before, so he completed it quickly.
After returning the pen to Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang still dutifully picked up the booklet.
He carefully checked the information Li Qin had just filled out, and after confirming that there were no problems, he nodded to Li Qin.
"Alright, you can go in now!"
Li Qin smiled and nodded, thanked him, and then pushed his bicycle into the area where Li Huaide lived.
He knew that many people lived in this place, and that they were not ordinary people.
But Li Qin wasn't very interested.
He had no intention of investigating further.
Li Qin pushed his bicycle straight to the building where Li Huaide lived.
After parking his bicycle, Li Qin picked up two bags and went upstairs.
Upon arriving at Li Huaide's house, Li Qin first straightened his clothes to make sure he hadn't done anything inappropriate, and then checked the time.
After realizing that there were still about twenty minutes left until the agreed-upon 12 o'clock.
Only then did he gently knock on the door of his home.
As the knocking sound rang out, Li Qin soon heard some noises coming from the doorway.
This is because the soundproofing of houses nowadays is not very good, and also because Li Qin's five senses have become far superior to Superman's due to the fusion with the divine power.
Therefore, even through the door, one can hear some noises behind it.
At this time, only Li Huaide and his wife Mingyu were at home.
The two were sitting on chairs in the living room, chatting idly.
Upon hearing the knock on the door, Li Huaide and Mingyu subconsciously glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
Then Mingyu stood up with a smile on her face;
"It should be Xiao Qin who has arrived."
Mingyu genuinely likes the sensible Li Qin.
You can tell that from the smile on her face.
Li Huaide also stood up at this moment. He nodded first, and then said;
"I'll go open the door for Xiao Qin!"
Mingyu nodded.
Sure enough, when Li Huaide opened the door, he immediately saw Li Qin standing outside.
She was also carrying two bags of things.
"Uncle Li, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
As soon as the door opened, Li Qin greeted Li Huaide with a smile and offered his blessings.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, a smile also appeared on Li Huaide's face:
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to you too!
After saying that, he stepped aside and said at the same time;
"Alright, don't stand outside the door, come in quickly."
After getting acquainted, Li Qin didn't stand on ceremony with Li Huaide. He nodded and went straight into Li Huaide's house.
Only after Li Qin entered the house did Li Huaide close the door and follow Li Qin back into the living room.
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Auntie!"
Upon entering the living room, Li Qin saw Mingyu standing there. He immediately walked over and said with a smile.
When Mingyu saw Li Qin, a light flashed in her eyes.
Upon hearing Li Qin's blessing, he immediately grinned from ear to ear.
Mingyu patted Li Qin's arm affectionately.
Then he said with some complaints;
"Xiao Qin, tell me, how long has it been since you last ate at your aunt's house? I told you before that you should come and visit more often, why didn't you listen?"
If it weren't for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and if I hadn't asked your uncle to call you, would you have completely forgotten about coming to your aunt's house for dinner?
Although Mingyu's words were full of complaints, they couldn't hide the intimacy between them.
Li Qin smiled helplessly at this moment.
He is not afraid of others treating him badly, targeting him, or suppressing him:
Because Li Qin had plenty of ways to retaliate and take revenge.
On the contrary, Li Qin found it even harder to resist someone like Mingyu, who was genuinely good to him and close to him.
Although dealing with it was a bit of a headache, Li Qin didn't feel any resistance to it.
There was even a faint sense of anticipation in my heart.
As a time traveler, Li Qin is truly alone in this world.
Although he can usually immerse himself in learning and enjoy life, he still feels somewhat lonely deep down.
Mingyu's care and closeness made him feel a little better.
Seeing Mingyu still babbling on and on, complaining and criticizing, Li Qin quickly put the two bags he was carrying on the coffee table.
Then she took Shen Shen's arm and apologized with a smile:
"Auntie is right. It's all because I didn't do well enough. I'll pay attention in the future. I'll come to your house for a meal whenever I have time."
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Mingyu finally showed a satisfied expression.
However, at this moment, Mingyu suddenly spoke to Li Huaide behind her;
"You are Xiao Qin's uncle and also work at the steel rolling mill. Please take good care of Xiao Qin and don't assign him too many tasks."
Otherwise, Xiao Qin wouldn't even have time to come home for dinner.
Li Huaide was watching with a smile, but he never expected that the flames of war would spread to him.
He glanced at his wife with a hint of helplessness, then patiently explained:
"I'm assigning Xiao Qin more tasks now, which will benefit Li Qin's future development."
Mingyu was not an ignorant woman; she knew that her husband was right, but she still argued illogically.
"But we can't let Xiao Qin not even have time to come home for dinner."
Li Huaide was speechless.
He knew very well that no matter how he explained it to his wife, it would be useless, so he could only nod helplessly and say;
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be more careful in the future."
Only then did Mingyu nod in satisfaction.
Li Qin and Li Huaide exchanged a knowing glance, their eyes filled with both amusement and helplessness.
This is also a characteristic of most elders;
Generally speaking, older males tend to be more rational and hope that their descendants can take on more responsibilities so that they can have a longer-term future.
Female elders tend to be more emotional and hope that the younger generation can relax a bit more.
