Chapter 361: Preface to the Exam (5)
Gu Sisi followed the pace of Qi Zhenze and just walked out of the gate of Qi Zhenze's house A few steps, he heard a familiar shout behind him, and when he turned around, he saw his brother running with a basket and shouting to himself, "Little sister, wait for me!"
Gu Xing'an trotted all the way to catch up with his sister, looked at his sister and complained: "Little sister, didn't you say okay, wait for me to go home together, why don't you wait for my brother and me?"
When Gu Sisi heard what his brother said, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and he didn't know who said that he didn't have to wait for him after delivering the dumplings, he went home by himself, and now where is his brother doing?
Before Gu Sisi could speak, he heard Gu Xingan say with a smile to Qi Zhenze, who was carrying a basket on the side, "Brother Zhenze, my little sister is bothering you to take care of it, give me the basket, you go back, we will go back." ”
Qi Zhenze's face was expressionless, and the basket in his hand was not handed to Gu Xing'an's outstretched hand, nor did he speak, I don't know what he was thinking, Gu Sisi glanced at his brother, looked at Qi Zhenze with a smile and said: "Brother Zhenze, give the basket to my brother to carry, he has a lot of strength." I'll bring you the cake when it's baked tomorrow. Also, thank you for giving me something, I loved it......"
Before Gu Sisi finished speaking, he saw that the basket didn't know what was going on in his brother's hand, looking at the still expressionless Qi Zhenze, Gu Sisi smiled wryly, who knew that he immediately heard his brother's voice, "I just said why is the basket so heavy, it turns out that there is so much game in it!" Brother Zhenze, thank you so much, look at me if I have grown again, hehe, the meat is delicious, little sister, you have to let your brother eat more meat in the future, those vegetable leaves are really not delicious!"
"Huh!" Gu Sisi couldn't help but hold her forehead, facing a foodie, or her own brother, she was really speechless. Qi Zhenze on the side didn't speak, even Gu Xing'an was not surprised, as if he was used to Qi Zhenze, who had few words.
Gu Sisi was also knocked down in her heart for her brother's familiar appearance, looking at her brother holding the basket like a baby, she turned her head very embarrassed, looked up at Qi Zhenze and said with a smile: "Brother Zhenze, then let's go home first, and I'll come back tomorrow." ”
Qi Zhenze only looked at the little girl in front of him at this time, looking at the girl's small appearance, he naturally raised his hand and straightened the bangs on the girl's forehead, and then said softly, "Well, eat more meat, you are too thin, you have to grow taller." ”
"Oh, okay, Brother Zhenze, goodbye. Brother, let's go. Gu Sisi thought that she was hallucinating, what is this? Why did this topic come to herself, she looked down at herself, where did she lose weight at this age? Where did she lose weight? Obviously, her face is round, okay? Gu Sisi pouted, and turned around and left without waiting for Qi Zhenze to say anything after speaking.
"Oh, Brother Zhenze, thank you!" Gu Xing'an saw that his little sister was gone, and hurriedly diverted his eyes from the basket, and did not forget to wave to Qi Zhenze before leaving, and then went to chase his little sister.
Behind the brother and sister, Qi Zhenze was still standing in place, with a hint of a smile in his deep and sharp eyes, "Is the little girl angry?" However, the little girl is so small that she should make up for it.
After walking a short distance, I heard Gu Xing'an talking excitedly to his sister, "Little sister, stew rabbit meat at night and eat it, I haven't eaten rabbit meat for a long time, when I think of that delicacy, the gluttonous worms in your brother and my stomach are hooked out." ”
"Brother, didn't you eat a big meat dumpling just now, and you still want to eat meat at night? You want to eat it, okay, make it yourself!" Gu Sisi didn't know when he dragged a dry grass in his hand, but he didn't know if it was because the dry grass was too fragile or she was venting her anger, and soon the dead grass in her hand disappeared.
As soon as Gu Xing'an heard his little sister's words, his excitement immediately stopped for most of the time, looked at his lovely sister with a bitter face, and said flatteringly: "Don't, little sister! You don't know, your brother and I are not afraid of heaven and earth, but we are afraid of cooking! You are not afraid that your brother will burn down the stove!"
Because the brother and sister haven't gone far, the conversation between the two has been heard by Qi Zhenze, and the little girl's temper is not small, but he is still very envious of the way their brother and sister get along. Seeing that the figures of the two were so far away that they couldn't be seen, Qi Zhenze turned around and walked back, who knew that as soon as he turned around, he heard Arnold's voice, "Sister Sisi went back?"
Qi Zhenze glanced at Arnold, and entered the house without saying a word, leaving Arnold dumbfounded behind, "Hey, I said Ze Shao, what do you mean by that look just now? I didn't offend you, right?"
Arnold chased after Qi Zhenze, and as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the person in front of him say, "Go and chop the firewood in the backyard." ”
"Ahh Arnold habitually answered, but as soon as he finished speaking, his brain reacted, "Hey, isn't it, chopping firewood?" Ze Shao, the firewood in our firewood room is full, why do you still chop firewood?"
Qi Zhenze looked back and looked again, Arnold shivered directly, how could he look at Ze Shao's eyes and the eyes that let him hunt by himself in the forest before!"Hehe! I said wrong, there is not enough firewood, I'll go here and there!"
Arnold closed the door bitterly, and walked to the backyard with a loveless look, when did he have to chop so much firewood in the backyard? "Alas! Who am I trying to provoke? It's all because this stinky mouth doesn't have a door......
Here, the brother and sister who had returned home had just sat down in the hall. The old man looked at the full basket that his grandson carried, and after being silent for a while, he looked at his granddaughter and said, "Sisi, Ming'er will pack more radishes, red roots, and artichokes at home, and bring them to the beggars, and your master will ask your brother to send some tomorrow." Although there is no shortage of these things in our village, and they are home-grown and do not cost much money, they are also a little bit of our family's heart. ”
"Grandpa, I know. Gu Sisi nodded, touched the little head of the younger brother next to him, and said.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll send my little sister and me over tomorrow. Grandpa, let's stew rabbit meat at night, I haven't eaten rabbit meat for a long time, I want to die. Gu Xing'an drank a large glass of water and said with a smile.
"Stinky boy, the big meat dumplings can't stuff your stomach!" the old man looked at his excited grandson and scolded with a smile.
"Grandpa, isn't I growing up! Look at our family Haohao also wants to eat, and the little sister, Brother Zhen Ze said that she is too thin to make up for it, and the eldest brother is also at home, our family just needs to improve the food, grandpa?" Gu Xingan scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, looked at his grandfather with a smile, and did not forget to pull his brother and sister in his words, look at how good he is, he will definitely not eat delicious food alone.
"Stinky boy, what do you mean? Could it be that your grandfather and I usually treat you harshly, don't give you food or don't give you drink? What is the difference between our family's food and other people's?" The old man glared at Brother An several times, this stinky boy, even if he wants to eat meat, he has to pull a few Hua Ge'er, is it possible that he is so difficult to speak.
"No, grandpa, I didn't mean that! I mean...... I mean, you see, this game can't stand up, and it will spoil after a long time, yes, it's not good if it's bad! Gu Xingan explained to himself anxiously, and did not forget to give his eldest brother and sister a look when he spoke.
"Hmph, stinky boy, how much oil is smeared on his mouth today?" The old man saw Brother An'er's reaction in his eyes, and naturally those few eyes would not be missed, and the stinky boy was still a little tender.
"Haha!" Seeing his younger brother in a hurry, Gu Xinghua couldn't help laughing, "Grandpa, don't tease Xing'an, you're about to cry when you look at Xing'an!"
"Okay, you two brothers take it and clean it up, and let your second aunt stew it at night, but you can't eat it tonight, there is enough oil and water in your stomach today, and it will be uncomfortable to eat it at night." The old man waved his hand and looked at his grandson and spoke. It's just that the old man said this, Gu Xing'an only heard the first half selectively, "Grandpa, you're the best, I'll clean it up! Brother, hurry up, I have to boil hot water......
"This stinky boy, running quite fast!" The old man looked at his grandson who ran without a shadow, and couldn't laugh or cry, this stinky boy, he really can't take care of anything if he has food, this problem is not good!
"Dad, don't be so used to them! Those wild meat are still reserved for you and your mother to make up for it, and the child's nutrition is not lacking, look at how fast Brother An'er jumps!" Chen Xinling just finished wiping the old lady's body, and when she came out, she saw her son's hot appearance, and when she saw what her son carried, she didn't have to think about it to know where her son's excitement came from, although she also wanted to make up for the child in her selfish heart, but she would not be less than the things that should be honored to her in-laws.
"You don't have to keep it all done, your mother and I are old, our appetite is small, and we can't eat much. The old man waved his hand, put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at his daughter-in-law and said.
"Daddy......" Chen Xinling wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was stopped by the old man's words, "Okay, just do what I say." ”
Over there, Mu Yingying's house. As soon as Mu Yingying came out of her brother's room, she saw her mother still sitting in place, with her head down and doing embroidery seriously. Looking at her mother like this, Mu Yingying didn't know what to say, since her mother learned this embroidery work, she really took the embroidery needle whenever she was free, and she didn't stop for half a moment, "Mom, you rest for a while, you haven't moved your seat since you finished eating." ”
"Mom is fine, I'll finish embroidering with one more point. Zhou Xing heard her daughter's voice, and she didn't stop moving, she didn't even raise her head, and still did the work in hand.
"Mom, you listen to me, rest and rest, your body is more important than making money! Besides, this embroidery work itself hurts my eyes, I have listened to your words and stopped for a while, what do you think of yourself?" Mu Yingying was very helpless, strode forward and took the embroidery bandage from her mother's hand, and said a little angrily.
Zhou Xing glanced at her daughter, then at the embroidery on her daughter's hand, sighed, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, mom won't do it, just rest for a while! ”
"Mom, I remember what you said!" Mu Yingying looked at her mother who stretched her waist and rubbed her neck, pouting and looking at her mother for reassurance.
Zhou Xing was helpless, her daughter was too stubborn, "You! By the way, my mother discussed something with you." ”
"Mom, what do you still have to discuss?" Mu Yingying put the embroidery bandage away from her mother, and then sat next to her mother and asked suspiciously.
Zhou Xing gently touched her daughter's braids, hesitated and said: "That's the case, it's okay for your aunt to be idle at home, my mother wants to teach your aunt this embroidery work, so that she can have something to do, so, Yingying, you see ......"
Mu Yingying looked at her mother's nervous look, she said with a smile: "I thought something was wrong, Sisi said at the beginning, a few of us just learned from her, and we can also teach our relatives, so, Mom, if you want to find something to do for your aunt, it's completely fine." ”
"Really?" Zhou Xing looked at her daughter in disbelief.
"Well, but, Mom, Sisi also said that although there are few people doing this embroidery work now, it can't stand the imitation of others, so if Auntie wants to make money from this, then you can make it clear to her. Mu Yingying nodded, and then told her mother what Sisi had said before, after all, Auntie was very good to their sister and brother, and she must be very happy to help Auntie where she could, but what should be said must be made clear in advance.
"Sisi really said that?Then what will our family do in the future? Isn't that for nothing?" Zhou Xingleng paused, looked at her daughter anxiously and asked.
"Mom, don't think too much, Sisi said, we are the first to eat crabs, so we can still make money. Sisi also said that if we want to do embroidery all the time, we can try to do a large article, what Qingming Riverside Map, the Great Wall, the Eight Horses Picture of those large-format, but that takes a long time, of course, the purchase price is also high, Sisi said that as long as we have the goods, it is not a problem to sell out. Mu Yingying knew that her mother's worries were that she herself had been restless for a long time after hearing what Sisi said, but fortunately Sisi gave them the best advice, otherwise she would not be so calm now.
"That's good, that's good, Mom is really worried about this, now that I hear you say this, Mom's heart can be regarded as calm. Zhou Xing pressed her chest and exhaled a long breath, she was shocked by what her daughter said before.
"Mom, don't worry, Sisi won't knock me. Mu Yingying smiled, she knew that her mother was too impatient, if you don't make everything clear and make it clear, I'm afraid you can make her anxious.
"Well, that's good. Alas, yesterday my mother was doing embroidery work, and your grandmother suddenly came, fortunately, my mother reacted quickly, otherwise your grandmother saw it, and this one was white embroidery. Zhou Xing looked at her daughter who had grown up a little bit, with a gentle smile on her face, but her face was quickly replaced by sadness, and she didn't know that her daughter had grown up, so she couldn't help but talk to her daughter about the old lady in the front yard.
"My grandmother came to ask for money again?" Mu Yingying frowned when she heard her mother's words, and a trace of resentment appeared on her face, but she quickly disappeared, even Zhou Xing herself didn't notice it.
"Alas, when will our family have a place of their own......? Alas, Mom told you what to do with this, okay, you go to the book, it's not about to take the exam, review it well, and Mom has something else to do. Zhou Xing looked at the small room, thinking of her unreliable husband, and her heart was blocked. Xu is in front of her daughter, she didn't pay attention to it and said what she thought in her heart, but as soon as the words came out, she realized what she said, she hurriedly changed the topic, thinking about the past, not letting her daughter think about it.
"Mom, we'll definitely have our own home, I promise. Mu Yingying didn't understand her mother's words, not only did her mother think so, but she wanted it more, but this family, her father couldn't rely on it, she could only rely on her mother and their siblings, although it was difficult, but she still firmly believed that they would have their own home, there would be a house bigger than now, she firmly believed that this day would not be too far away!
