Chapter 209: When He Was a Child
Grandma Li went into the kitchen and sat down next to Qiao Mu and said, "By the way, I heard the old man say that your name is Qiao Mu, right?"
Qiao Muwan smiled and responded obediently, "Yes, grandma, just call me Xiao Mu." ”
"Good boy!" Grandma Li's smile never stopped, she looked into the room with her eyes, and asked as if she had no intention of intentioning, "Where did Xiao Yi go?"
"Should he be outside, do you want me to call him in?" Qiao Mu looked out and was about to get up as he spoke.
"It's okay, it's okay. Grandma Li shook her head quietly, and leaned over with an excited look, "Xiao Mu, do you want to hear grandma tell you a secret?"
Before Qiao Mu could react, he spoke straight to the convenience.
"Just Xiao Yi's kid. Grandma Li said and pointed to Si Tianyi outside, and then said, "Don't you know, he was proud when he was a child, and he didn't want to play with those children of the same age all day long. ”
Qiao Mu listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and now heard from Grandma Li that Si Tianyi was unknown when he was a child, and suddenly some quiet joy crept into his heart.
He has always been cold and independent, he has never opened his heart before her, and although he has been very good to her after her, he has not mentioned his own affairs too much, and when he can rarely take the past as an example, it is also to comfort her.
As Grandma Li said, Si Tianyi is indeed a very withdrawn person but extremely arrogant in his bones, but he is also a very kind and warm person.
It's just that this side, except for her, has rarely been seen by anyone.
Qiao Mu thought, her mouth raised a curvature, she looked at Si Tianyi outside the door, with a smile in her eyes.
Grandma Li is talking about the rise, the old two children are not around, and the only child who has been with him for a few years has finally come back, and he is on the rise.
Especially knowing that Si Tianyi is looking for a daughter-in-law, the old couple is happier than anyone else!
Grandma Li was happy to share what happened when he was a child, and she couldn't wait to tell Qiao Mu all the good things about Si Tianyi, "Every time he fights with someone, he is injured, and he runs to hide, but he has never done anything out of the ordinary, and he is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed, and then he met your Grandpa Li, and then he came to our house, helped us do things, looked after the house, and studied first, and he was good when he was a child." ”
Speaking of what happened when she was a child, Grandma Li even missed it a little, and a little tear appeared in her eyes as she spoke.
Qiao Mu was fascinated by this, and his thoughts fluctuated with Grandma Li's words.
"Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu, did you listen to grandma?" Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, looking thoughtful, Grandma Li called her twice.
"Well, I heard it, grandma rest assured, no one will bully him in the future. She looked up, her eyes shining brightly, but her heart was extremely uncomfortable.
She knows better than anyone how much a family can affect a person, and more than anyone else, she longs for them to have a childhood that looks slightly more fulfilling.
But fortunately, the two warm-hearted old men in front of him should be a light shining into his childhood.
Before I knew it, it was getting dark, and the sky was a little gray, so I wanted to leave quickly, but the two couples were too enthusiastic, so they had dinner together.
There was nothing delicious in the village, but they were grateful for it, even if it was a prosaic dish.
Just after dinner, the gray sky finally couldn't bear the pouring rain, and the sound of the rain was like pounding garlic.
"Xiao Mu, Xiao Yi, don't go, it's raining so hard, it's not too late to go back tomorrow, I'll clean up the house for you." With that, he pulled the two of them to the room and left immediately.
Qiao Mu turned on the light and looked at the surrounding environment, I don't know if it was because of the rain, the room exuded a low and damp atmosphere, and the furniture was very simple.
She didn't mean to resist at all, but it suddenly occurred to her, it turned out that he had been living in this environment since he was a child? There were only two people in the room, and the atmosphere was a little gloomy for a while.
She couldn't help but ask, a little cautiously, "Have you been living here before?"
"Hmm. The other party responded as if he didn't have a voice.
She nodded, and asked seemingly casually, "I heard Grandma Li say that you often fought with others when you were a child. ”
Si Tianyi's body paused to make the bed, and then he slowly spoke, "We didn't like each other, so we started."
What he said was light and light, as if those encounters had never had any effect on him, but Qiao Mu still couldn't help but feel distressed in his heart, and his eyes were also filled with a trace of mist.
She suddenly pulled the corner of his clothes, slammed into his arms, hugged him tightly, and her voice was a little choked, "You will have me in the future, and you will no longer be alone." ”
She felt sorry for him.
Si Tianyi immediately froze, he didn't know what Grandma Li said to this girl, he only knew that the person in front of him was meticulously caring about him, and his heart suddenly softened.
"It's okay, I don't remember it for so long. He hugged the nephrite jade in his arms, pretended to be calm and patted her on the back, and replied with a smile and pretending to be nothing.
Suddenly there was a rumbling thunder, which scared Qiao Mu into a spirit, after a few faint bursts of thunder, it rained outside the window, and the sound of dripping rain accompanied by the wind slapping on the window, the window that was not closed slipped in a little strong wind, and the body in his arms trembled, Si Tianyi immediately noticed it, and walked to the window to close the window tightly.
The sound of the rain faded and the silence returned, except for the occasional croaking of frogs and the lingering humming.
Qiao Mu was lying on the bed, but she didn't feel sleepy at all when she closed her eyes, the mosquitoes were buzzing in her ears, and she had intimate contact with her skin from time to time, she couldn't prevent it, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
Turning her head to look at Si Tianyi beside her, she looked as if she was asleep, and she had to close her eyes and try to show weakness to the god of sleep, so as to ask herself not to lose sleep tonight.
In the haze, she seemed to hear some rustling sounds, but she finally had sleepiness, she didn't open her eyes, but there were too many itchy places on her body, she was bitten awake, her hand slapped out, the temperature around her was getting colder, and she woke up suddenly.
After Si Tianyi took the things, he opened the door lightly, and seeing that the other party was not asleep, he also aggravated the action of opening the door, "Are you awake?"
"Well, why did you get out?" she yawned slightly, scratched her hair, and snapped her eyes to see that the other man seemed to be holding something in his hand.
"Mosquito coils, where did they come from?" she asked, gesturing to something in his hand.
"Grandpa Li, that's what you want. He replied, and walked towards her with the mosquito coil flower water in his hand.
