housekeeping
"Uncle Li, do you know where your father went?"
Li Bo is the housekeeper of the Zhou family, and he is also one of the elders who accompanied Zhou Mingfeng and his wife from Qingyang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Zhou Huaiyan came home in the evening, he didn't see his father in the room, and even the study where his father usually liked to go was nowhere to be seen.
This is a little too unusual, Zhou Huaiyan knows his father, since the death of her mother, the relationship between father and son has fallen to freezing point, and even... It can be said that Zhou Mingfeng unilaterally rejected Zhou Huaiyan, didn't see him and didn't care about him, as if he didn't have this son.
Although his father doesn't like him, Zhou Huaiyan still has a love for Zhou Mingfeng, and on weekdays, he will take advantage of the fact that Zhou Mingfeng is not around him, and secretly glance at him twice.
But I didn't see her father today, and it wasn't his mother's death day, where could his father go?
Zhou Huaiyan couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart, his father's miracle doctor had just recovered from a serious illness, and his body and bones were not as tough as before, especially recently, his personality had changed greatly, and he didn't want anyone to follow him. What if something happens?
Thinking of all kinds of things that might happen, Zhou Huaiyan couldn't bear it, but he couldn't look for it openly, Zhou Huaiyan thought left and right, and still ran to ask Li Bo, so there was the beginning of the scene.
"Young master, the master is in the Buddha Hall, and there is a little guy by his side, you don't have to worry"
Li Bo looked at Zhou Huaiyan, who was a little strange, and replied respectfully, since the death of his wife, this young man with a hint of innocence in front of him seemed to have suddenly grown up overnight, becoming calm and silent.
Li Bo suppressed the sourness in his heart, and sighed infinitely in his heart, his little young master, he is only at a young age, and he has to take on the heavy responsibility of the family alone, I hope that Mrs. will have a spirit in the sky, and he must bless the young master well.
"Lieber, Daddy... What's his mood lately?"
Because he was worried that Zhou Mingfeng's emotions would suddenly get out of control, Zhou Huaiyan didn't dare to appear beside Zhou Mingfeng at all, and the little boy tried hard to suppress the feelings he longed for the most, and cautiously asked the person in front of him.
After Zhou Huaiyan finished speaking, he couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, which was more and more similar to his mother, and felt a little bitter in his heart.
Li Bo's eyes sank, and he looked at the young man in front of him with a wry smile.
“… Young master, it's not your fault, Madam has a spirit in the sky, I won't blame you" Li Bo's voice was old and powerful, very soothing, he reached out and patted Zhou Huaiyan's shoulder with his hands like dry bark.
Zhou Huaiyan raised his eyes and met the wise eyes of Li Bo.
"I... It's okay, Li Bo" Zhou Huaiyan looked at the old man in front of him who watched him grow up, and showed a faint smile, after the smile, his eyes were calm, since his father was in the Buddha Hall, he still didn't bother.
"There are still things to deal with in the study, Uncle Li, rest early" Zhou Huaiyan said in a low voice, and without waiting for Uncle Li's reaction, he turned around and went out directly.
Li Bo stood in place, watching Zhou Huaiyan leave, the worry in his eyes became more and more serious, after a long time, Li Bo sighed faintly, how could he intervene in the master's affairs, but he just pity the little master!
Backyard Buddha Hall.
This is the Buddha hall that Xu's life has been built, the purpose is also for Xu's health, the original Xu is still there, Xu will often set foot here, burning incense and worshiping the Buddha every day is essential, after Xu's death, in addition to Zhou Huaiyan occasionally misses her mother will come to the pillar incense, but also Zhou Mingfeng set foot here.
The Buddha hall is located in a corner of the backyard, it is a relatively small room, Zhou Mingfeng knelt on the futon, his eyes calmly looked at the dark row in front of him.
Because of Xu's affairs, Zhou Mingfeng has always felt guilty about her in his heart, he is now regretting what happened all the time, if it weren't for his insistence on giving birth to Yan'er, Xu would not have left so early, he knew that today, he should have stopped her at the beginning.
Zhou Mingfeng is not a good father, let alone a good husband, whether it is treating his deceased wife or Yan'er, a child, he has not done his best, and even because of the Xu family... He also deliberately angered this innocent child.
He deliberately avoided Yan'er recently, thinking about that smart child, I'm afraid I already know his thoughts, hehehe, Zhou Huaiyan put his hands on his face, covered his eyes, and smiled helplessly, in essence, he is really a selfish and cowardly person!
But he really can't! Especially Yan'er's appearance... It is more and more similar to Xu's, which makes Zhou Mingfeng even more unable to let go, every time he sees Yan'er's face, Zhou Mingfeng will involuntarily think of the Xu family when he was young, Xu's smile, sound and smile are all engraved in the deepest part of his mind, so that he has sunk to this day and can't extricate himself, the more he sees, the more he misses, Zhou Mingfeng can't control the crazy, paranoid thoughts that he fiercely suppressed in his heart, knowing that Yan'er's child is innocent, but he still can't help but implicate this child, Zhou Huaiyan's eyes are staring at the ranking in front of him, as if he expects the other party to give him an answer……
"Buckle buckle... Buckle buckle"
Zhou Mingfeng didn't look back, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
"Master, the young master is back, and now he is in the study" The voice of the little man came from the door, the voice was not loud or small, just enough for Zhou Mingfeng to hear clearly.
Zhou Mingfeng's gaze suddenly became complicated, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was asking and answering himself, "Yan'er."
He's a good boy..."
A ray of sunlight fell down the open window to the floor of the room, the bedding on the bed was neatly stacked, and the room was clean and tidy, without a trace of dust.
Zhou Huaiyan had already gotten up, washed up briefly, changed into a neat azure shirt, tied his hair high, and lined the whole person with a clean and dusty appearance.
"Qingsong, how many days does the teacher have to come?"
Zhou Huaiyan called Qingsong, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, in, and when he delivered the letter before, Dr. Zhou had asked him to bring a clear message, saying that it would arrive in a few days.
Such a big thing happened in the Zhou family, it was impossible for Zhou Wei not to know, not to mention that Zhou Huaiyan also sent a letter on purpose, Zhou Wei saw the letter, and he was even more determined to come back, no matter what, he couldn't watch Zhou Mingfeng indulge in such decadence.
Zhou Huaiyan, who received a message from Zhou Wei to come back, did the most on weekdays was to pull the green pine on the side to ask about the time, and every day would not fall.
"Back to the young master, I'm afraid that Dr. Zhou will have to wait for a day, after all, Dr. Zhou is old, and the coachman doesn't dare to leave quickly, thinking about leaving the day before yesterday, I'm afraid I can arrive tomorrow afternoon."
Qing Song bowed his body, and said these words without any fluctuation in his tone.
"Well, in this case, I know" Zhou Huaiyan paused in his tone and replied coldly, "You step down"
After Zhou Huaiyan finished speaking, Qingsong nodded and went out directly.
The room returned to its previous calm, Zhou Huaiyan picked up the chopsticks, picked up the food on the side, and ate it simply...
…
"Niu Niu, get up"
Yuan sat at the head of the bed, stretched out his hand and pushed the girl who was still lying in bed, this sun has already sunned her buttocks, this child!
Yuan was helpless, but he was reluctant to scold, he had no choice but to accept his fate.
"Mother, I'm about to get up"
Yuan Shi lay in Chunqiu's ear, spoke softly, and repeated it over and over again.
It seems that Yuan's words have played a role, and Chunqiu's facial expressions gradually changed, first his brows moved, then the corners of his mouth were unconsciously crooked, and finally he slowly opened his eyes with his eyelashes trembling.
“… Mother"
As soon as I got up, Chunqiu's voice still had some thick childish sounds, soft, and sounded like marshmallows.
Yuan smiled, touched the small sack of Spring and Autumn, and then straightened out the corners of the quilt that were messed up by Spring and Autumn on the side, "Niuniu, get up, aren't you going to Materia Medica today?"
"No," Chunqiu retorted directly, "Senior brother said that it was okay to go late"
She is not afraid, Chunqiu thought to herself, when she came back last night, she didn't make an appointment, and besides, going early would be a cause for trouble.
"Hehe, mother doesn't say" Yuan directly reached out and took Chunqiu out of the quilt, let Chunqiu sit in his arms, and then reached out with both hands, picked up the hair on the side and combed his head.
Chunqiu honestly didn't move, watching her mother pick up the head rope on the side or tie her hair, "Okay, get up quickly, my mother has gone to the front yard shop" Yuan simply tied Chunqiu's hair, patted the tied ponytail, and put Chunqiu on the open space on the bed on the side.
Chunqiu honestly waved his hand with Yuan, then turned around, half-lay on the bed and got off the ground, put on the cloth shoes on the side, and put the bedding neatly on the side of the bed in Chunqiu slowly.
Pick up the basin in the house, Chunqiu ran to the yard, scooped out the water from the water tank, ready to wash his face, there was no toothpaste toothbrush in ancient times, Chunqiu could only use the wicker on the side instead, sprinkle some salt grains on the wicker, Chunqiu opened his mouth and began to brush up, after brushing, Chunqiu casually dragged two pieces of tea into the recent chewing, felt the taste in the mouth is almost the same, Chunqiu only spit out the tea leaves that have been chewed in the mouth, brushing teeth in ancient times is troublesome, and it takes a huge amount of time every time in this regard.
At this time, the shop in the front yard was already open for business, although there were few people coming during this time period, Chunqiu entered the shop, first helped her father and mother to be busy for a while, and then picked up the steamed buns that her mother bought for her and ate them.
Huzi has already gone to the school at this time, in addition to the father and mother who greet the guests, there is only one person left in the spring and autumn, the business in the shop is a little hot these days, Yuan and Yang Weibai total, I feel a little busy, I spent money and hired two and a half big guys, with a new guy, the things in the shop are naturally not needed in the spring and autumn, and the spring and autumn also have time to run to the herbal hall.
After breakfast, Chunqiu said hello to Yuan in the kitchen and went out directly.
When I went out, I met two guys in the shop, two and a half old boys, about thirteen or fourteen years old, one called Xiao Wu, the other called Xiao Liu, the two were brothers, because there were many brothers in the family, they had to come out to work, Yuan also saw that their brothers were down-to-earth and willing to work, so they used two people.
The two brothers did not live up to her mother's trust, whether it was in the shop or whatever, they were all done in an orderly manner.
"Little Fifth Brother, Little Sixth Brother, you are here"
Chunqiu smiled and greeted the two people who came across from him.
Because of the problem of age, people in the Spring and Autumn Period must bring the title of elder brother.
"Well, Qiu'er is going out?" It was Xiao Wu who spoke, Xiao Liu was usually a little shy, and when he saw Chunqiu, he just looked up and smiled, and he didn't speak.
"yes, I'll be back in the afternoon."
Chunqiu nodded, because the two came a little early, Chunqiu stopped and talked to the two for a while, and then let the two in.
