Chapter Thirty-Eight: Grandma
Li Xiaonuan doesn't like things that are too sticky, so the soufflé she makes is lighter. Because of this, Dr. Qi took away all the boxes of soufflé she made by herself. And Qi Ji only ate two small pieces.
Of the remaining four boxes of other snacks, Li Xiaonuan left three boxes for the medicine boy apprentices in the medical hall. Holding a box of jujube mud cakes that he liked, Li Xiaonuan called the four of Tang's mother and daughter to go back together.
In the backyard of the hospital, Dr. Qi sat under the plane tree and drank tea and ate snacks. Qi Ji sat down across from him, picked up a piece of soufflé and put it in his mouth. Doctor Qi checked his face and saw that he was not as gloomy and sad as before, so he asked tentatively:
"If I remember correctly, yesterday must have been her birthday. Aren't you going to Qin Lou to buy laughter again? ”
Hearing this, Qi Ji, who was sending snacks to his mouth, stiffened. A moment of sadness flashed across his face, but it was instantly covered up by a weak heart. He ate the dim sum in one bite, took the teacup from Dr. Qi's hand and drank it cleanly before answering:
"Not anymore."
After speaking, he got up and walked around and said, "I'll go wash first, and I'll go to see Uncle Li and them later." ”
The weakness of heart on Qi Ji's face did not escape Dr. Qi's eyes. remembered that Qi Ji came back with Li Xiaonuan before, so he had the idea of gossiping. Thinking about when to ask Li Xiaonuan, where did the two of them meet. If you really met it in front of Qin Tower, it would be fun.
On the way back to the village, Xiaoqian was curious about Li Xiaonuan's going to Weifu, so she asked Li Xiaonuan what she was doing in the morning. Li Xiaonuan was telling Sister Xiaosha that she had asked Qi Ji to help ask the female doctor about accepting apprentices. Hearing Xiaoqian's question, she replied casually: "Go teach them to make snacks." ”
Xiaoqian didn't believe it, so she asked, "Eldest sister can make dim sum, why don't I know?" ”
Li Xiaonuan didn't explain, and said directly: "Don't say you don't believe it, even I don't believe it." ”
The reason why Li Xiaonuan answered like this is because women in this era will more or less make one or two small snacks. And the style and taste that everyone will make are different. Therefore, she felt that teaching others to make dim sum did not need to be explained at all.
But when these words were heard in Xiao Qian's ears, it became perfunctory and contemptuous. Therefore, her selfish careful thoughts came out again. Thinking that if she didn't figure out what Li Xiaonuan was doing at the Wei family, she wouldn't give up.
If Li Xiaonuan really knows how to make delicate snacks, she will pestered Li Xiaonuan to teach her. If Li Xiaonuan went to Weifu for another reason, she, as a cousin, should also be exposed. But what she wants to know most now is Qi Ji's situation.
So, Xiaoqian put away her resentful expression and asked Li Xiaonuan flatteringly: "Sister, how did you meet Dr. Xiao Qi?" I see that you are going back to the hospital together. ”
Li Xiaonuan didn't think too much about it, and replied: "I went the wrong way, and I happened to meet Dr. Xiao Qi, so I went back to the hospital together." ”
Xiao Qian pretended to ask casually again: "Doctor Xiao Qi is such a good person, I don't know if I have a marriage." ”
Li Xiaonuan didn't think about him, and said as if chatting casually: "Dr. Xiao Qi's family background is prominent, and the family will definitely help him find a good candidate." However, he has not yet decided on a marriage, so he should not have met someone destined. ”
Listening to Li Xiaonuan's answer, Xiaoqian felt a burst of joy in her heart, feeling that her opportunity had come. The girl, who was only fifteen, was carried away by affection, and she didn't listen to the first half of Li Xiaonuan's words.
Seeing that Xiaoqian no longer had a problem, Li Xiaonuan talked to the two little cousins about apprenticeship again. Along the way, Xiao Qian was dizzy, immersed in the fantasy of becoming Qi Ji's bride. However, she was careful not to let others find out about her abnormality.
It is said that this morning, Li Xiaogang took a carriage and went straight to the house of the fourth uncle Li Dagong. Because grandma, as the eldest elder in the family, should be the first to be notified. When he arrived at Laren Village, Li Xiaogang sat on the edge of the car and showed Uncle Liang the way.
I saw the fourth uncle's house from a distance, and I saw my grandmother Lan standing on the side of the road chatting with people. Next to her was a four-year-old cousin. The little cousin was sitting on the ground crying at the moment, not knowing what he was doing.
As the carriage approached, his cousin Xiaojun was attracted to his attention and forgot to cry. When he saw Li Xiaogang on the edge of the car, he was happy. He didn't sit on the ground and make trouble, but got up and ran towards the carriage.
Li Xiaojun ran all the way, shouting all the way: "Brother Xiaogang, Brother Xiaogang." ”
Li Xiaogang is also very happy, he likes younger siblings than himself, and he can be bullied. He asked Uncle Liang to stop the carriage, and waited for Xiaojun to run to him and carry him into the carriage before resuming the carriage.
The old lady had stopped talking to others since Xiao Jun shouted Xiao Gang's name. She stood on the side of the road with a solemn face, waiting for Li Xiaogang to pass. It could be seen from the expression on her face that she was unhappy.
As the carriage approached, Li Xiaogang called "grandma" and jumped down from the carriage with Xiaojun in his arms. The old lady was terrified on the side, afraid that Li Xiaogang would throw Li Xiaojun down. When Li Xiaojun landed safely, she pulled the person over and accused Li Xiaogang:
"How old are you to dare to jump from such a high car with your brother in your arms, what if you fall someone? Your fourth uncle and they are just such a son, not as many sons as your family, and your family can't afford to pay for the break. ”
Li Xiaogang bowed his head and was scolded. After the old lady finished scolding, he smiled and said, "Grandma, I was wrong, and I won't dare to do this in the future." ”
When the old lady saw that Li Xiaogang admitted her mistake, she did not pursue it. She looked at the carriage behind Li Xiaogang and asked, "Why are you here?" Coming by yourself? How do you come by carriage? ”
Xiao Gang waited for the old lady to finish asking before grinning and replied, "Hey, I'll be alone." The family is busy, and they can't take a break. My sister was afraid that it would not be safe for me to go on the road alone, so I asked Uncle Liang to send me here. ”
When the old lady heard that this was the case, she was dissatisfied: "Hmph, if you don't want to come, don't come." What are you doing here? ”
Li Xiaonuan picked Ganoderma lucidum and sold it at a good price, she had already heard about it from the old five and her family. The old lady was quite dissatisfied with the fact that the eldest family made a fortune quietly.
Originally, two days ago, she wanted to ask everyone to ask clearly. But the fifth and the second said that the eldest and the second are still in the hospital, and they will suffer if they go to make trouble, so she endured it. Today, this little rabbit cub actually hit the door by herself, and she must take care of that family.
I don't know if Li Xiaogang understands the old lady's mind, she still looks stupid on her face. After listening to the old lady's question, he replied innocently: "Oh, grandma, I have something to come to you and the fourth uncle." Let's go back quickly, I'll go to the third uncle's house and the fifth uncle's house later." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Li Xiaojun and seduced: "Xiaojun, come, wait for my brother to give you candy to eat." The eldest sister bought a lot of candy. ”
When Xiaojun heard that there was candy to eat, he broke free of the old lady's hand, took Li Xiaogang's hand and walked towards their yard. Seeing this, the old lady also followed with a calm face. Uncle Liang saw that no one paid attention to him, so he had to silently catch up.
