This courtyard has a completely different layout from the inner courtyard in front of it, and it is also very different from all the courtyards that Xue Zhao has ever seen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this courtyard is extremely empty, into the eye is a large area of the countryside, in the middle of the cover of a few farmhouses, the inner courtyard of the water from under the wall to bring in, zigzag through this courtyard, to the distance.

There is a wooden bridge that connects the gate to the open space in front of the farmhouse, and on both sides of the wooden bridge stands a tall wooden torii with the words "Guixin Village" written on it.

Xue Zhao carried the birdcage and stepped gently on the wooden bridge. She stroked the wooden railing on the side of the bridge with her hand, and the tan wood showed that the wooden bridge was old. She leaned down and looked under the bridge, where some free-range fish were swimming leisurely, and on the rocks on the shore there was an old turtle with four paws stretched out, basking in the sun as if no one was around.

Xue Zhao became more and more curious, and walked forward across the wooden bridge, only to see chickens and ducks raised in the open space in front of the farmhouse, all walking leisurely, looking at Xue Zhao with eyes that are not afraid of people. Xue Zhao walked a few steps around them gently, and suddenly saw the old man come out of a farmhouse on the west side, still holding a medicine bowl in his hand.

As soon as he looked up and saw Xuezhao, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly patted his head and said, "Oh, Xuezhao girl!" Look at my brain, today I only care about the old... I boiled medicine, but I forgot to look for you! Let you wait for a long time, blame me for my poor memory! ”

Xue Zhao smiled and said, "Uncle Tai, it's okay. I waited for a while and didn't see you, and I was a little worried, so I rushed in, and I won't disturb you, right? ”

The old man laughed when he heard this, and said, "We have few people here, and it is very deserted, if you don't dislike it, you will come often in the future, and my old man will be happy!" Saying that, he took a few steps forward and looked at the birdcage in Xue Zhao's hand, was surprised, and said, "Is this for me?" ”

Xue Zhao shoved the handle of the birdcage into his hand and nodded with a smile. The old man lifted the birdcage and looked left and right with excitement, and his hands trembled a little.

Xue Zhao said a little embarrassed, "When I bought it, the man said that he could learn words, but yesterday Xue Zhao taught for a long time, and it didn't learn anything, so it was very stupid." Just be a companion for Tiber! ”

The old man nodded happily, and quickly hung the birdcage under the eaves of the farmhouse in the middle, and began to look for some grains of rice to feed it all over the house.

Xue Zhao saw that he was happy, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and when he entered the house to find food for Brother Parrot, she gently retreated, still covering the door for him.

Lin Xiuyuan had to go to the courtyard where his father lived every morning to say hello. Early the morning of the second day when Xuezhao sent Brother Parametric, Lin Xiuyuan still got up early.

As he stepped down from the wooden bridge, he felt that this place was a little different from before. His father, Lin Ziye, was full of red light and full of energy, and was sprinkling grain for the chickens and ducks in the clearing.

Lin Xiuyuan stepped forward and bowed and saluted, "The child greets his father." ”

Lin Ziye saw him coming, a smile appeared on his face, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Lin Xiuyuan's gaze looking under the eaves behind him. His face turned pale, only to hear Lin Xiuyuan already ask, "Father, who got you a parrot?" ”

Lin Ziye said a few times and said, "That... Lao Tai bought it for me. ”

Lin Xiuyuan frowned slightly, and said, "Father, Taibo has been sick for several days. ”

Lin Ziye saw that he was exposed, and was about to find someone else to prevaricate over, when he suddenly heard the parrot who had never spoken shouting at the top of his voice, "Xue Zhao! Snow shines! Lin Xiuyuan's eyes widened, Lin Ziye's face turned blue, and he turned around and shouted at the parrot brother, "You don't say it when you let you speak, and you hold back your bad nonsense when you don't let you speak!" ”

Lin Xiuyuan lowered his head when he heard this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Lin Ziye glanced back at Lin Xiuyuan, and asked in a deep voice, "Xiuyuan, my father has an idea these days and wants to discuss it with you." ”

As he spoke, he stroked his beard and didn't say a word, looking at Lin Xiuyuan's reaction.

Lin Xiuyuan was familiar with his father's temperament, and when he saw that he was playing tricks again, he asked, "If there is anything wrong with the father, he will tell the child." ”

Lin Ziye's eyes shone brightly, and he said, "The new girl in the front yard, named Xue Zhao, is good for my father." You have never married, and you are the master of your father, so how about letting that girl be responsible for serving you in the inner courtyard in the future? ”

Lin Xiuyuan was silent after listening to it, and only said after a while, "I don't know if the child will agree." Ask her the next time you see her. ”

Lin Ziye's eyebrows were twisted together when he heard this, and he exclaimed, "Do you still need to ask her?" Who would dare not listen to my words? ”

At this time, I suddenly heard the parrot brother cry again, "Brother Lin! Brother Lin! The voice was exactly the same as Xuezhao, Lin Ziye and Lin Xiuyuan were shocked, and they both stared at the parrot.

At this time, there was a muffled sound at the bridgehead, Lin Xiuyuan turned his head, and suddenly saw Xue Zhao fall at the bridgehead, he rushed up with an arrow step to help Xue Zhao up, his eyes were full of concern, his voice was low, and he asked, "Xue Zhao, are you okay?" How did you fall? ”

Xue Zhao stood up with Lin Xiuyuan's arm, patted the dust on her dress, her face flushed slightly, and said, "Brother Lin, I'm fine." When I heard the parrot suddenly speak, I was taken aback, and my feet slipped and I fell. ”

Lin Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down to check her ankle, and asked, "You didn't touch that wound last time, did you?" ”

Xue Zhao retracted her feet embarrassedly, blushed, and said softly, "Brother Lin, it's all right." ”

Lin Xiuyuan stood up with peace of mind, saw his father's surprised gaze, felt a little embarrassed, cleared his throat, pulled Xue Zhao forward and said, "Come, I'll take you to see my father." ”

Xue Zhao walked forward with Lin Xiuyuan, looked at the old man, and before Lin Xiuyuan could speak, he said embarrassedly, "Uncle Tai, I'm sorry to make you laugh." ”

When the old man saw Xue Zhao open his mouth, he immediately wanted to stop her, but it was too late. Lin Xiuyuan looked at Xue Zhao in surprise and said, "Taibo? Xue Zhao, this is my father. Tiber has been in poor health for the past few days, and he is resting in the back room. ”

Xue Zhao's smile froze on her face, she looked at Lin Xiuyuan, then at the old man, and was surprised for a while before she changed her words, "Lin... Uncle. ”

Lin Xiuyuan looked at her and already understood eight or nine points, he looked at Lin Ziye a little helplessly, and said, "Father! ”

Lin Ziye's face was a little unbearable, and he said embarrassedly, "Miss Xuezhao, my old man is afraid of being laughed at by you, so he let Lao Tai carry the black pot, you, don't mind!" ”

Xue Zhao was silent, only shook his head slightly.

Lin Ziye said again, "You girl is good-hearted and careful, and the old man looks good." My son Xiuyuan has not been taken care of by a careful person, so from today onwards, you will move into his house, be responsible for taking care of his daily life, and report his condition to me every morning, no mistake, do you hear? In the end, he pretended to be stern, but secretly watched the reaction of the two of them.

Xue Zhao was shocked again when she heard this, and raised her head to look at Lin Xiuyuan, but saw that Lin Xiuyuan was noncommittal, turned his face to the side, and the corners of his mouth seemed to show a smug smile. Xue Zhao's heart cooled a little, it seemed that it was hopeless to count on Lin Xiuyuan to help her refuse, she opened her mouth slightly, looked at Lin Ziye, and nodded.
