Chapter 421: The Meaning of Sha Lao (2nd Watch)
Ziqin saw Jin Xin coming back, and hurriedly greeted him: "Madam, are you okay?" β
Jin Xin smiled: "What's the matter, you look so worried." β
"Isn't this Miss Sha a because of the previous matter of the second owner of the village, you have always been a little troubled, I am worried about ......"
"Don't worry, she won't."
Chen Qing also walked over and asked with concern, "Madam, where did that Miss Sha take you?" β
Because Sha Feng proposed that no outsiders should follow, Jin Xin deliberately explained to Chen Qing, don't let the dark guard follow, Qi Ji and the black spider didn't follow, these two people went for most of the day, Ziqin was worried, for fear that Jin Xin would have something in case, Chen Qing waited and waited, and he was also worried, and some regretted listening to Jin Xin's not letting the dark guard follow.
At this time, seeing that Jin Xin had come back well, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Jin Xin said: "Took me to the hunting ground. β
"Hunting grounds?"
"Yes, the hunting ground specially built by the Sha family. Great place for walking and hunting. β
Chen Qing said: "Anyway, madam, it's okay if you're fine." Ziqin was about to die of worry. β
Jin Xin looked at Ziqin and said, "Why are you so worried when you come in?" β
Ziqin was a little embarrassed and said: "Wasn't it too dangerous before, I'm a frightened bird now." Don't say it's Miss Sha, I think everyone looks like an enemy, and I'm worried that it will be bad for you, Madame. β
"Don't worry, since Sha Feng asked me to go out, he will naturally protect me. Moreover, even if there is anything, isn't there Chen Qing. β
When Ziqin heard this, she glanced at Chen Qing, and saw that he was looking at herself with a smile on his face, a little embarrassed, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
Since the last incident, the atmosphere between Ziqin and Chen Qing has been a little delicate.
When Chen Qing looked at Ziqin, his eyes were full of more pity than before, while Ziqin was a little dodgy, as if he didn't know how to face him.
Jin Xin saw the situation of these two people in his eyes, and he didn't break it, he always felt that they should be given some time to adapt, or find a suitable reality, and the two of them talked about it, and it would be fine.
She said, "Okay, it's almost time, it's time for lunch, right?" β
"The meals were already ready. I'll just give the order to go down and heat up the kitchen and bring it to our room. β
Chen Qing said on the side: "I'll go, you accompany your wife first." β
With that, Chen Qing went to the kitchen.
Ziqin watched there, stunned.
Jin Xin smiled: "He will take care of people." β
"Madame......"
"Okay, I won't rush you. Take it easy. Let's go up. β

When Qiao Qixing came back from outside, Sha Feng was having lunch with Old Man Sha.
The old man Sha is now nearly ninety years old, except for the gray hair and beard, sitting there straight, thin like a bamboo pole, but his eyes are bright and deep, and he is still very tough, Sha Feng sat there, laughed at him, and coaxed the old man to keep twisting his beard and laughing.
Qiao Qixing walked over: "What are you talking about?" So happy to say. β
"Qixing, you're here." Sha Lao looked at Qiao Qixing and beckoned him to come over and sit down, the subordinate had already consciously brought the dishes and chopsticks up, Sha Lao looked at the subordinate and gave him a bowl of rice, and said: "Xiaofeng is on the street today, and he taught Yu Haotian's stinky boy a lesson, which is really interesting, and he is telling me about it." β
As soon as Qiao Qixing heard that it was related to Yu Haotian, his brows furrowed silently, and he looked at Sha Feng with a little questioning in his eyes.
Sha Feng was too lazy to raise his eyelids to look at him, so he put a chopstick dish in the bowl for Sha Lao, and said, "Grandpa, try it, I fried it myself." β
"Okay, it's rare for you to cook by yourself, grandpa must taste it."
Sha Lao hurriedly responded with a smile, looked up and saw Qiao Qixing not moving his chopsticks, and said, "Qixing, why don't you eat?" Today, these dishes are all made by Xiaofeng herself, she cooks well, you have a good mouth, you have to taste it. β
Sha Feng can cook, Qiao Qixing knew it early on, and to tell the truth, her cooking skills are no less than those famous chefs. It seems that the reason why she learned to cook in the first place was because of him. Because Ruan Susu's cooking skills are very good, he has praised them more than once, and Sha Feng probably listened to the heart, so he also worked hard to learn, just to win some favor in his heart and get some praise.
Later, if she really succeeded, she was praised by him, at first, she was quite happy, but then she didn't know why, and she got angry again.
Until now, Qiao Qixing can't figure out what she was angry about at that time.
After dinner, Sha Lao went to rest.
Sha Feng took the dishes and chopsticks away, and returned to his courtyard.
Qiao Qixing chased after him.
"Xiaofeng."
Sha Feng turned around, looked at him, and said, "If you want to mention Yu Haotian's matter to me, stop, I don't want to talk to you about this." β
Qiao Qixing smiled: "I didn't mean to tell you this. β
Sha Feng was stunned, he would have asked in the past, why was he so calm today?
"And what do you tell me to do?"
"When I was just eating, I suddenly remembered that when you first learned to cook, I praised you, you weren't very happy, but then you got angry again. I want to ask, why were you upset again? β
Sha Feng really didn't expect that he would ask such a question, she was a little stunned for a while, she had forgotten about it for such a long time, and it was strange that he still brought it up at this time.
"It's been so long, what are you doing now?"
Yes, I didn't ask at the time, what's the point of pursuing these now?
It's past the time to ask.
Thinking of this, Sha Feng couldn't help but be annoyed, now she began to care about her feelings in various ways, when she cared about him so hard in the past, how could he have ever looked at her? All the actions add up to just push her away, reject her, and sue her for only treating her as a sister.
Scold. It's ridiculous. Could it be that now God sees that she has given too much in the past and has no return, so he pities her, and now let her feel his care and dedication, so let her feel some psychological balance?
She doesn't need to!
Sha Feng thought, a little angry, turned around and left.
Qiao Qixing chased after him and asked, "Xiaofeng, don't go, sue me." β
"It's been so long, and the ghost remembers why?"
Sha Feng replied angrily.
She really didn't remember, but Qiao Qixing thought that she remembered what happened at that time, so she was angry. grabbed her hand and asked persistently, "Xiaofeng." Sue sΓΉ me. β
"I really don't remember."
Sha Feng replied a little impatiently.
"I really don't remember, or I don't want to sue sΓΉ."
"You ......" Sha Feng was speechless: "Why don't you make such sense?" β
In the past, this person was not such a foolish person.
Sha Feng didn't understand what was wrong with him.
Why do you look so annoying now?
Seeing that he was still staring at himself persistently, Sha Feng thought that if he didn't give an answer, it was estimated that this person didn't plan to let her go.
Sighing, she had to force herself to remember.
At that time, in order to compare Ruan Susu's status in his mind, she worked hard to learn cooking, and finally learned it well, and happily gave him a taste. After tasting it, he did give a compliment. At first, she was really happy. But why did you get angry later?
She frowned slightly, remembering something.
It was only a short time after that, because she got his compliment, so she happily went to prepare a new dish, and brought it to him to taste, who would have thought that as soon as she walked to the door, she heard the voice of him talking to Ruan Susu inside.
Ruan Susu was sullen, and he was patiently coaxing over there.
"Brother Qixing, now Xiaofeng's cooking is better than mine. Then you won't eat what I made anymore? β
"How so? Where do you want to go? β
"But you just said it clearly, saying that Xiaofeng's cooking is better than mine."
"That's different." Qiao Qixing couldn't cry or laugh: "Are you still jealous of this?" β
"What, no?" Ruan Susu exclaimed coquettishly.
Qiao Qixing smiled even more, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay." It's all different. Indeed, Xiaofeng's cooking is very delicious, and it is a little better than yours. But, so what, in my heart, no matter how delicious she makes, it can't be worth what you make. That little girl cooks food, and what you cook for me is heart, can it be the same? β
"Really?" Ruan Susu finally smiled and asked seriously.
"Of course it's true. Still angry? β
Ruan Susu was still pretending, but the low laughter still leaked her happy mood.
Qiao Qixing said this, it was definitely from the heart, Ruan Susu was made happy by his words, but Sha Feng outside the door was very angry when she heard it, she grabbed the dish in her hand tightly, and couldn't wait to throw it directly on the ground!
However, she endured.
After that, she sulked, Qiao Qixing didn't know at all, and once asked her why she suddenly stopped cooking, whether her enthusiasm had decreased.
Sha Feng was so angry when he heard this, he opened his mouth and said: "I hate cooking the most, don't mention cooking to me again!" It makes people panic! β
Qiao Qixing was baffled by her anger, although he was puzzled, he didn't ask why, but later, he didn't mention cooking anymore.
After Sha Feng, it was really several years, I didn't go into the kitchen, I didn't cook. Later, Sha Lao was not in good health for a while, and she had no appetite for anything, and she was worried about her grandfather, so she started to go into the kitchen again.
Sha Lao liked the food she cooked very much, that is, for the sake of her grandfather, she just accepted the cooking thing a little bit.
It's been a long time, and she has also let go of Qiao Qixing, so she has long forgotten about the incident back then.
At this time, Qiao Qixing asked, and she slowly remembered.
The mood immediately became bad.
Qiao Qixing saw that she was even more angry before, and asked, "What's wrong?" Did I do something that made you very angry? β
Sha Feng looked at his concerned look and sneered: "Forget it." Old things, what to do when you bring it up. Anyway, it's no better now than it used to be. I don't care about you anymore, and I won't make myself unhappy because of you anymore. That's enough. β
With that, she didn't stay any longer, and left directly.
Qiao Qixing minded more.
At that time, he must have done something to make her angry.
On the one hand, he secretly tightened his heart, in the past, he must have hurt her many times unconsciously, and now, if he wants to save her lightly, he is only afraid of ...... It's not that easy.
He sighed, a little annoyed.
Why, didn't you find out earlier? If he found out earlier, maybe, he wouldn't have treated her like that, maybe, he would have hurt her a little less, and now, maybe they wouldn't be like this.
He returned inside with a heavy heart, sitting in his chair in a daze.
A subordinate came over: "Second Zhuang master, our old lady invites you over." β
*
Sha Lao was half leaning on the long couch, and there was a chessboard on the small table on the couch.
He beckoned Qiao Qixing over: "Come on, we haven't played against each other for a long time, accompany me to the next game." β
Qiao Qixing smiled and asked, "What, don't take a nap?" β
"What do you sleep, you're older, and you don't sleep much."
Sha Lao said impatiently, and motioned for Qiao Qixing to sit down opposite.
Qiao Qixing smiled, passed, sat cross-legged on the couch, and took the white chess.
Two people, you go down before me.
"Why do you kid stink today?"
Sha Lao suddenly sighed: "It's really, it's unpleasant!" β
Qiao Qixing smiled: "That's the chess I played today, if you are not satisfied, I will go, call someone else." β
"Oh, no. Didn't I just say that, why did you still bother with me? β
"It's your turn. Get down to yours. β
Qiao Qixing said.
Sha Lao looked at it, pinched the chess pieces, looked down at the chessboard, but he didn't make a move, looked at it, and finally, he couldn't help wrinkling his face and threw the chess pieces in his hand, "What else does this call me to play, I don't even have a place to play!" β
Qiao Qixing smiled: "Yes, you won't get down." β
"Nonsense! Xiaofeng can't get down to me. β
"You don't know your granddaughter yet, I'm sure I'll let you!"
"Huh. As if she knew her better than I did. β
ββ¦β¦β
Qiao Qixing smiled and didn't speak.
Sha Lao glanced at him: "Eh, how are you doing now?" I look at Xiaofeng like that, it doesn't seem to be interesting at all. She didn't talk about you, but she mentioned Yu Haotian's kid to me from time to time. No, you talked to me again today. Judging by her attitude, it seems that she wants to choose Yu Haotian. β
Qiao Qixing frowned.
"Yu Haotian can't do it. Not for her. β
"Hmph. You're a good fit for her, are you happy? Sha Lao glanced at him disdainfully, and said: "You too, what did you do in the first place, my granddaughter likes you so much, she wants to be good with you, you are good, I don't agree, and I solemnly said again and again that I treat her as a sister." It's good now, people are happy for you to treat her as a sister, but you won't! I said, you too, ask for your own suffering! β
Sha Lao's words are clearly falling into the well.
Qiao Qixing listened and said with a smile: "You're right, I'm really asking for my own hardship." β
Sha Lao patted his knees with his fingers and said, "I see, it's not easy for you to do it now." My granddaughter, I know, that temperament is the same as mine, dare to love and hate, once a certain decision is made, ten horses can't pull it back. At the beginning, since she could like you so desperately, no one could influence her decision. Now, she has decided to give up on you completely, then, too, no one can persuade her. So, you're hanging. β
Qiao Qixing glanced at Sha Lao: "Isn't there still your old man?" I know you've always wanted me to be your grandson-in-law. β
"Huh. I thought, is Xiaofeng willing? β
Sha Lao said: "It's not that you don't know, I'm such a granddaughter, and I have hurt her so much since I was a child." She said east, I didn't say west, even if I want you to be my grandson-in-law again, Xiaofeng refuses, I can't resist her. β
Qiao Qixing frowned when he heard this.
"What's more, there is still a Yu Haotian now. This kid, I think he is relying on our Xiaofeng, last time you made such a big show, he lost face, and he didn't plan to retreat, and he came to me to show his determination in a fake way, definitely not Xiaofeng didn't marry, the marriage contract is still the same. These two people, like a hemp rope, are now tied together, and they are working hard towards one place, that is, to consummate the marriage. Look, I'm an old man, what can I do? β
"Xiaofeng has always been filial."
"I said you, why do you keep letting me come forward!"
Sha Lao sat up: "In the final analysis, this matter is your own business, what are you doing to provoke this old man here without working hard?" I can tell you, my granddaughter, that she is not a fuel-efficient lamp, that she can take care of herself, and that no one in this world can lose her unless she is willing. Therefore, even if she really makes up her mind to marry Haotian at that time, I don't like it, and I won't object to it. Although we are forgetful friends, we can't afford my granddaughter's relationship with me, right? β
Qiao Qixing's brows furrowed even tighter: "I know, I will take a good look." β
"That's right." Sha Lao nodded with satisfaction: "You have to be better yourself, and I can help next to you." If you don't do anything, it's useless for me to just try. β
Qiao Qixing glanced at Sha Lao and said, "Xiaofeng is trying to send me away now. β
"I also know this, and she has mentioned it to me a few times."
"Sha Lao, this little girl has a deep mind, she has to be soft and hard to be useful, and the soft one is not very useful for me here, I'm afraid it will ......"
"I understand what you mean, I'll take care of this."
Sha Lao nodded lightly.
Qiao Qixing smiled: "I'm relieved." β
"You can give me a good treat. Don't let Yu Haotian's kid get his way. I think he's a soft eater, but I can't let her really rely on our Xiaofeng. β
"I will."
"That's good."
That night, Sha Lao called Sha Feng to the study.
"Grandpa, what are you doing when you called me here so seriously?"
"Xiaofeng, grandpa has something to tell you."
Seeing his solemn expression, Sha Feng thought something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, is something wrong?" I don't think you're right. β
"Uh. It's not a big deal. However, it's not a trivial matter. β
Sha Feng's relieved heart suddenly tightened again.
"Grandpa, what the hell is going on?"
