Chapter 108: Embark on a new journey
When the two of them came out of the village, Ji Wenchen picked up her luggage and asked her with a smile: "Qiqi, what did you say to Yinzi just now?" A moment ago, I wished you didn't leave, but in the blink of an eye, I wanted you to leave quickly! ”
Su Qiqi turned his head and said with a smile: "The best way to deal with Yinzi is to let her have something to eat and smell beautiful." I asked her to go to the cellar to get pears to eat, and promised to buy her a flower when she returned, and of course she wished I was going to go right away! ”
"Hahaha... You're really kids! Ji Wenchen couldn't help laughing.
Su Qiqi looked at Ji Wenchen and said seriously: "Senior brother, we are not children anymore!" Tomorrow, Yinzi will have to find her in-laws. If you get married, you will have a lot of responsibilities and pressures, and it will be difficult to live happily with the current one, so I want her to be happy for another two years. ”
Ji Wenchen had never seen such a serious junior brother, and after being stunned for a moment, he immediately said: "Qiqi is right, being a woman is only the best time in her mother's house." At this time, they have no pressure to live, they don't have to serve their in-laws, and once they become wives and mothers, many things follow. In fact, it is not only women, but also men. When there is no family drag, even if there is really no food, you will only be hungry alone. But once you have a family, that's not the case. Yinzi will have to get married in two or three years, and you will have to marry a daughter-in-law in another three or four years, so let's live happily in the past few years.
knew that what Ji Wenchen said was realistic, but Su Qiqi just felt that she would not be unhappy after reading (1) (this ~ novel) ybdu, so she said with a little meaning: "Senior brother, I will never marry a daughter-in-law in my life, so I will live with my senior brother." That way, I'll always be happy. ”
Ji Wenchen said casually: "How can you not marry a daughter-in-law?" Qiqi is the master's only blood and blood, and it can be passed on to the master in the future. Don't worry, even when you become a parent and have a child, your senior brother will live with you. When the senior brother earns the money, we will buy a few acres of land, and then build two big houses next to each other, one for you and one for me. As long as Qiqi thinks about Senior Brother, you open the door and shout, Senior Brother will definitely come over. ”
Su Qiqi secretly stole his eyes before shaking his head: "No, I want to live in a room with my senior brother." ”
Alas, what a child! Ji Wenchen smiled dotingly: "That's okay, when the time comes, we will build a big one, you live on one side and I will live on the other." ”
"No, I have to stay with you!"
Suddenly Ji Wenchen had a headache: When will the little junior brother grow up?
When he arrived at the village where Ji Wenchen worked, it was close to dusk, and suddenly the sunspot screamed wildly, and a big yellow dog jumped out of the courtyard.
Suddenly the dogs were noisy...
"Kuroko..."
"Rhubarb..."
After two shouts, Su Qiqi entered the courtyard and saw an old farmer of medium stature about forty walking out of the house, and when he saw that it was them, he immediately greeted: "Master Ji, it's still early to come back." ”
When Ji Wenchen saw this person, he hurriedly introduced: "Qiqi, called Uncle Zhang." ”
Su Qiqi called out casually: "Uncle Zhang is good." ”
Uncle Zhang said happily: "Qiqi is good, I have long heard that your senior brother is also coming to learn the craft, you have worked hard all the way today, right?" Your aunt is cooking, you go in and wash up, and when everyone gets off work, the meal will begin. ”
On the way, Ji Wenchen briefly introduced the geographical situation of Zhangjiawan, which has nearly 200 households and is a large village. Eighty percent of them are members of the Zhang clan, living along the river, and there are many small rivers in the village. Because of the heavy humidity along the river, and the fear of flooding, every house has a one-person high foundation, and most of my father used to look for work here.
Uncle Zhang's name is Zhang Housheng, and he is an ordinary farmer family with more than ten acres of land, and he relies on fishing for pocket money in his spare time. has three sons and two daughters, the eldest son and eldest daughter have been married, and seeing that the two sons are about to get married, they have a new main house and two side halls.
In the ordinary farm yard, one side has been opened because of the construction of a new house, and there are many people busy on the construction site.
Ji Wenchen took Su Qiqi from the side room into a large room in the back room, and it could be seen that it was the usual space for stacking things. There are quite a few rooms, more than 30 square meters, and some temporary erected wood and planks are placed. It seems that this is where the craftsmen lived.
Looking at the several wooden beds that were separated by wood and planks, Su Qiqi's eyeballs fell: I have to live here in the future? Living with a large group of men?
Suddenly, she trembled!
Ji Wenchen knew that she was frightened by this humble place: "Qiqi, do you think it's too simple?" ”
Su Qiqi scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Senior brother, it's okay." ”
Ji Wenchen took her to the last cubicle, put her things down, and said, "We do things like this outside, and the work of a master is basically about a month. Building a few houses may seem simple, but in fact, there are many people who work. Stonemasons, masons, and carpenters must be invited. Everyone is a man, and the owner doesn't have so many places for everyone to live, so he will simply settle for it. ”
Seeing that the little junior brother was in a daze, Ji Wenchen untied the quilt in the corner of the bed, picked up the wooden basin under the bed and said: "Qiqi, you sit down first, senior brother will go and fetch water for you, the master has explained before, saying that you should have less contact with cold water before the age of fifteen, you sit first!" ”
Afraid that Ji Wenchen would think that he would not be able to endure hardship, and again mention the matter of sending her to school, Su Qiqi had to beat his spirit: "Senior brother, I'll go with you." ”
"Sit down, you're tired after walking so far, I'll fetch water to wash you."
Su Qiqi looked down at the dust on his body and asked, "Senior brother, I want to take a bath." ”
Ji Wenchen immediately said: "Then you sit here and wait, I'll take a bucket to carry water, there is a small room next to here, it is the former bathing shed of things, you can take a shower here." ”
It wasn't until Ji Wenchen brought the water into the shed and brought another soap bean clip that he said, "Qiqi, you go wash it, just take a cotton towel and go in, and come out to change your clothes." ”
Suddenly, Su Qiqi blushed: Let her come out to change clothes? Brother, even if I'm still a washboard, I'm still a mother!
Pretending to be unaccustomed, Su Qiqi said embarrassedly: "Senior brother, I'm not used to it." ”
Ji Wenchen smiled dumbly: "What a child, everyone is a man, what's there to be shy?" Then you can take your clothes in and bring a small stool to put them away. ”
Explaining too much will cause suspicion, and it's better to let the child come out naked than to let her come out naked. Su Qiqi hurriedly took his clothes and slipped in.
As soon as he entered the small shed, there was a sour smell of urine, which made Su Qiqi turn around and run. When Ji Wenchen saw her appearance, he couldn't help but smile: "Is Qiqi unbearable?" It's okay, slowly get used to it. A group of men living together, how can they be so exquisite! ”
"Senior brother, do we really want to live with a group of men in the future?" Su Qiqi stood at the door of the shed and let out a long breath before asking sullenly.
When Ji Wenchen saw her like this, he felt that the little junior brother not only did not grow up, but was also pampered by the master. Where does this look like a boy? Isn't it just a little girl? That's not going to work!
He said seriously: "Qiqi, since you are ready to go out with your senior brother to learn the craft, then you have to think about it." If you feel that you can't endure this hardship, Senior Brother will send you to the school tomorrow. Whether it's reading or learning a craft, it's all about laying the foundation for your later life, and if you decide, you have to stick to it. ”
Su Qiqi now has a feeling that living in the world is like floating in the sea, and if you don't pay attention for a while, you lose your direction. This senior brother is Su Er who became the driftwood arranged by her, if she doesn't seize the opportunity, when she reaches the age of fifteen, it is difficult to say whether this senior brother will be hers!
Thinking of his reason for coming here, Su Qiqi gritted his teeth: "Senior brother, I'll get used to it, I'm going to take a bath." It's just that I used the water, so senior brother, will you mention it later? ”
Ji Wenchen waved his hand: "You just wash, don't worry about me." We all wash in the creek behind, and you wash slowly. I'll have to eat later, so I'll go wash too. ”
During the meal, Su Qiqi knew a group of people. There is a carpentry master Jiang with two apprentices named Jiang Shui and Jiang Pu; Master Wu, who worked as a mason, took two apprentices named Wu Zhijiang and Wu Zhiping, and two apprentices named Qi Sanming and Zhou Zhengqiang were brought by Ji Wenchen.
Everyone was chatting while eating, and after introducing Su Qiqi to everyone, Ji Wenchen pointed to Qi Sanming and Zhou Zhengqiang and said, "Sanming, Zhengqiang, you will be called Uncle Qiqi in the future." ”
Looking at Su Qiqi, who was younger than himself, Qi Sanming raised his head and asked, "Master, are you sure Qiqi is our uncle?" ”
Ji Wenchen's eyes bulged: "Isn't it your uncle?" ”
Zhou Zhengqiang joked on the side: "Sanming, are you a fool?" Qiqi is not an uncle, will he be an aunt? ”
Qi Sanming squeezed his eyes mischievously and said, "Master disciple is honest, I don't think ordinary senior aunts are as good-looking as little uncles!" ”
The people who were eating couldn't help but look at Su Qiqi when they heard this, and then smiled "hehe": "Sanming, you kid, dare to bully your uncle, don't you see that he is young and you are fat?" ”
Qi Sanming saw that his master's face had changed and immediately explained: "No, no, where do I dare to bully my uncle, I am telling the truth, my uncle looks better than the Zhang family's Qin'er!" ”
"Poof!" Zhou Zhengming couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that the two of them are talking more and more boundless, Qiqi is a good young man, let these two unsuccessful guys say that they are girls? Ji Wenchen's face sank: "What are you two talking nonsense about, no big or small?" Do you want to practice fifty stones tomorrow? ”
The master is powerful! The two of them stuck out their tongues and apologized to Su Qiqi: "Little uncle, we really didn't mean to hurt you, we want to blame you for being too delicate, we really rarely see a delicate man like you, like a boy in the city." ”
These two young men are not small, huh? Dare to laugh at her uncle when they first met?
