At the entrance of Qujia Village, Li Quai's excited cry sounded: "Qing Yanzi! ”

Li Yunqing once followed Li to welcome his father, but now it has become Li to welcome him.

Li Yunqing said like a child: "Little uncle, the weather is cold, don't come out to greet me next time it rains." ”

Li Quzhi smiled and raised the umbrella and said, "I won't get drenched with an umbrella." My brother is not coming back today? ”

Li Yunqing said slowly: "My father has a lot of things, and he can't come back today." ”

The uncle and nephew affectionately hooked their shoulders and walked quickly to Li's house, and the Qu family and the He family came out to greet each other and greet Li Yunqing.

Li Yunqing smiled all over his face, took off his robe, and said loudly while sending the burden to the kitchen: "The medicine Taoist chief in the view is good to me." The pharmacist doesn't hide his personal skills, and he teaches me everything he wills. My father always gave me good food. Look, I'm getting taller again. ”

The temper of the medicine chief is very bad, and if the pharmaceutical fails, he will get angry with his pharmacists and medicine boys, and Li Yunqing has been smashed by him with a rice bowl.

Li Yunqing didn't want to tell her family about these things, for fear that they would worry.

Li Yunxiao jumped from the hall to the kitchen, hugged Li Yunqing, who was taking items from the baggage, with both hands, and shouted in a childish voice full of joy: "Big brother! ”

Li Yunqing took out his left hand and easily picked up Li Yunxiao and kissed him on the cheek, "Xiao Yanzi, you still remember my brother." ”

Li Yunxiao nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Li Yunqing smiled: "Have you listened to your grandmother and mother at home?" ”

Li Yunxiao was very naughty but never lied, and squeaked: "Sometimes I listen, sometimes I don't." ”

Li Yunqing took out a brand-new and beautiful cloth tiger half a foot long and four inches tall made of yellow, black and white cotton cloth from his baggage, shook it a few times in front of Li Yunxiao, and said, "I bought you a cloth tiger in the town, and you will have to be obedient in the future." ”

Li Yunxiao excitedly took the cloth tiger and grabbed it tightly, giggling.

Li Yunqing saw a girl wearing a lilac dress with snow-white skin and a bun at the door of the kitchen, her heart softened suddenly, and she smiled: "Sister Jing, come over and call the eldest brother." ”

Li Jingjing looked up at Li Yunqing and shouted, "Big brother." ”

Li Yunqing patted the second brother's little shoulder and coaxed: "Xiao Yanzi went to the hall to play." ”

Li Yunxiao ran to the hall, and when he passed by Li Jingjing, he proudly raised the cloth tiger in his hand and grimaced at her.

"I won't call you a brother." Li Jingjing grimaced at Li Yunxiao at the same time.

She has been a girl for a long time, and she also has a childlike heart, and often teases her naughty second brother.

Li Yunqing walked over and hugged Li Jingjing in her arms, kissed the fragrant cheek several times, and whispered in her ear: "Sister Jing, this time I brought you the seeds of five kinds of herbs." ”

Li Jingjing happily hugged Li Yunqing's neck and kissed him on the face, and said, "Big brother, I like the gift you gave me." ”

Li Yunqing took out five paper bags containing medicinal herb seeds from his baggage and handed them to Li Jingjing, and asked, "Did the herb seeds I gave you live last time?" ”

Li Jingjing said dejectedly: "Only a few plants have survived. ”

Her eldest brother has become calm since she went to Taiqingguan, and she also knows that she is sympathetic to her elders and loves her younger siblings.

She held his two hands and looked at them, and their palms and fingers were calloused.

Li Yunqing stroked her little sister's hair and patiently explained to her the planting methods of the five herbs.

Qu Shi entered the kitchen and saw a piece of bacon of about one pound next to the stove, picked it up and put it under his nose to sniff, and said happily: "Qing Yanzi, this piece of smoked dog meat was given to your father by the Taoist Temple?" ”

There are two kinds of Taoist priests in the country, one can get married by eating meat, and the other can not get married by eating vegetarian. The Taoist priest of Taiqingguan is the former.

Li Yunqing shook his head and said, "Grandma, I bought it from the town for you to eat." ”

Qu was very relieved and said with a smile: "You don't spend money indiscriminately. ”

Li Yunqing bought six catties of flour in the town, except for steamed moon cakes, enough for He's to eat two meals of noodles, and also bought a copy of "Book of Songs" to give to Li, who likes to study.

Qu was busy making lunch in the kitchen. He Shi prepared the steamed mooncakes in the afternoon.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the rain is washing every corner of the world.

The three trees in the courtyard of the Li family, full of green oranges and one full of yellow and clear pears, were ruthlessly whipped by the rain, and more than 20 fruits fell in a while.

The oranges are not ripe, and the fruit is sour and bitter and cannot be picked. The pear tree is high and has to wait for Li Laoshi to come back and pick it from the tree. This heavy rain came at an inopportune time, not only could not enjoy the moon at night, but also knocked down the fruits on the fruit trees in the entire Liuyang County.

Li Yunxiao kept stomping his feet in front of the door of the hall, and shouted angrily: "If the rain falls again, my pears will be knocked down by the rain." ”

Li Yunqing put on his coat and ran to the yard with a wooden basin, and quickly picked up the fruits in the rain, oranges and pears were picked up in the basins.

Li Yunxiao clapped his hands excitedly and shouted, "Brother is so good, I have pears to eat." ”

Li Jingjing ran out of the bedroom, twisted Li Yunxiao's buttocks, and reprimanded: "Next time, don't ask your eldest brother to pick things up in the heavy rain." ”

Li Yunxiao stretched out his hand to hit Li Jingjing, but she grabbed her wrist and said angrily: "I didn't ask my eldest brother to pick it, he went by himself." ”

Li Quzhi sat by the door of the hall and read the "Book of Songs" by the light, raised his head and said: "Xiao Yanzi, if you didn't make noise just now, your eldest brother wouldn't have picked fruits." ”

He poked his head out of the kitchen door and took a look, and immediately shouted: "Don't pick it, there is a thunder in the rain, go back to the house quickly." ”

Li Yunqing ran into the hall with half a pot of fruit, took off his coat and threw it on the ground, his hair, face, and shoes were wet, and he still smiled and said, "Sister Jing, Xiao Yanzi, do you eat pears?" ”

Li Yunxiao hugged Li Yunqing's thigh aggrievedly and said, "Big brother, Sister Jing bullied me." ”

Li Jingjing crossed her waist with her hands and raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm teaching you a lesson." ”

Li Yunxiao is very naughty, and he loves to cry, and he has been taught by Li Jingjing since he can speak.

Qu's cheerful cry in the kitchen overshadowed the sound of heavy rain, Li Yunxiao heard that he was going to eat, especially at noon today, there must be something delicious, and he didn't make trouble, he put a smile on his face, and took advantage of Li Jingjing's inattention, and kissed the tip of her nose hard, almost kissing her nose crookedly.

Li Yunqing said with a smile: "Xiao Yanzi is naughty, but he doesn't hold grudges. ”

Soon there were six dishes on the table, stir-fried smoked dog meat with green garlic sprouts, fried small dried fish with chili, steamed pork, stir-fried screw meat with spicy sauce, stewed pumpkin, and loofah egg soup.

In the afternoon, the rain stopped, the sun drove away the dark clouds, the sky and the earth were clear and bright all of a sudden, the air in Qujia Village floated with a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and every household was preparing to eat for the official festival in the evening.

The Li family eats a reunion dinner at home on the thirtieth day of the lunar month every year, and goes to Qu Kuaishou's house for the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year is no exception, Qu took Li to get sick and the two little ones went first, He steamed the moon cakes and carried the moon cakes with Li Yunqing.

Outside the gate, I heard Qu Kuaishou's loud laughter, "The new emperor decreed that this dynasty will open the imperial examination next spring." ”

He's face changed slightly, and he stopped, his eyes were gloomy, as if he was recalling the past.

Li Yunqing turned around and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

He Shi reached out to touch his eyes and said softly: "My eyes are in the sand, just rub them." ”
