Chapter 83: The Gift

"Girl! I've only been around for a few months, and you've gotten to this point in archery? ”

Blacksmith Qiu looked incredulous, staring at the roe deer.

"Dad, you said that diligence can make up for clumsiness. During the months you've been away, I've been practicing every day! Besides, when I was a child, I didn't know that I heard you say the essentials of archery hundreds of times, and I couldn't forget it. Before leaving, Brother Wu gave me another instruction in archery. With you two archers, no matter how bad I am, I can still see it. ”

After finishing slowly, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. As for archery, she finally made all the irrational parts reasonable. From then on, there will be two very important witnesses, Qiu Blacksmith and Gao Wu, to prove her archery skills. From then on, she could throw off her arms and use her bow and arrows as she pleased.

Blacksmith Qiu praised the leisurely and diligent practice of archery.

He also said: "When you were a child, you didn't like to talk or move, and your father asked you to follow you up the mountains to hunt, just because he wanted you to walk around like other children." Who would have thought that you rejected bows and arrows like that back then, but now, you have such a unique skill! Dad still said the same thing, don't pressure the body with many skills, not to mention the useless ones, even if you practice your muscles and bones, it's also good. ”

Said yes with a leisurely smile.

The two carried a heavy bamboo basket of wild things and happily descended the mountain.

When he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he followed the blacksmith Qiu to find the donkey cart, put the things on the cart, and turned around to lead the horse in another place.

The white horse surprised Blacksmith Qiu, "Flowers! Can you ride a horse? ”

"Hmm!" Smiled leisurely and nodded, jumped up, and jumped.

Blacksmith Qiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed happily.

"Flowers! You really don't let the eyebrows go! ”

High accolades. Leisurely laughed again.

He took the whip and lightly whipped the horse's buttocks, leaped up, and turned his head and shouted, "Daddy, I'll be waiting for you at the intersection of the road ahead!" ”

As soon as he turned around, he was soon gone.

Blacksmith Qiu nodded in satisfaction, and the smile kept on his face.

Wen Po was very surprised to see Blacksmith Qiu enter the door, and the two greeted each other with a smile. After greeting for a while, Blacksmith Qiu moved the wild things out of the car. A bamboo basket full of bamboo.

Gao Xiangye and Gao Xiangcao came running, and the two of them fell into the arms of Blacksmith Qiu.

"Today, I'm going to show my dad a hand. Make a roast like you've never eaten before. ”

The word barbecue flew into Gao Vanilla's ears with a fragrant fragrance, and he suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Grandfather, it's delicious!" I've eaten! ”

Leisurely sneered. Habitual shaking of the head.

"Oh? If the grass says it's delicious, then it must be delicious! Blacksmith Qiu kissed the baby and raised his head again, "Okay!" Today, I will enjoy the blessings, waiting for my daughter to show her hand. ”

Roasted roe deer meat with cumin, grilled chicken wings in Orleans, and chai chicken in a pot with freshly pickled cucumbers feasted on the blacksmith Qiu. Shocked and sighed, I only listened to Wen Po's admiration. said how the chrysanthemum is ingenious, and willing to try to study. Blacksmith Qiu kept nodding, that is, diligence can make up for clumsiness, practice makes perfect!

Blacksmith Qiu was very pleased.

After staying in the courtyard until the afternoon, when the snowflakes gradually drifted, Blacksmith Qiu proposed to leave.

Sending him out leisurely, the path was quiet and silent, and he slowly brought up a topic, and took the Zhao family to the Gao family to make a fuss. Then he used Qiu Atai's body as an excuse to cheat money.

Since he opened his mouth leisurely, Blacksmith Qiu did not move again.

Standing on the thin snow, I didn't make a sound for a long time.

"Dad, I don't mean anything else. Atai is my brother. He is fine, and his health is the most important thing. ”

For a long time, Blacksmith Qiu raised his red old face, stared at it leisurely, and his eyes quickly left.

"Girl. Daddy I'm sorry for you! ”

"No, Daddy......"

Leisurely comfort.

"You're the best dad in the world."

Blacksmith Qiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If I were the best father in the world, I wouldn't have married you to Gao Wu in the first place!" Although he is getting more and more breathing now, this is all from your tears and blood! If I were the best dad in the world, when I heard that your in-laws didn't want to see you, I should have taken you home! Instead of being humiliated everywhere! If I were the best father in the world, I shouldn't have listened to Zhao's words for so many years! Listen to what the hell she says, if you go home halfway, Begonia won't be able to get married! If I am the best father in the world, how can I regret myself so much? ”

Blacksmith Qiu, who has always been honest, seems to be crazy, and he says so much in one breath.

Leisurely stunned.

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

There was a pain in my heart. No wonder there is no regret medicine in the world, no wonder people say that it is difficult to buy a thousand dollars and know it early!

"Hua'er......" Blacksmith Qiu wiped a handful of tears, took out a crystal clear jade bracelet from his arms tremblingly, and handed it to her: "Hua'er, give it to you." ”

Raise your eyes leisurely.

"Flowers, Daddy's New Year's gift to you."

"Put it on! Young girls in Nanzhou love to wear this. ”

took it leisurely, put it on with a smile, and suddenly remembered the situation when Yang Bailao, the white-haired girl, bought a red rope belt for Xi'er.

You shook her head slightly, but listened to Blacksmith Qiu: "In the third year of junior high school, you must take your children home!" ”

Leisurely nodded heavily. The custom here is to go back to my mother's house to see the day, the third day of the first month. In the past six or seven years, Qiu Juhua has never taken her children home.

Looking at the back that was gradually moving away, he sighed leisurely, fate! This is the fate of ruthlessness, irrationality and impermanence!

Perhaps, her arrival is a kind of compensation for such a cowardly but kind old man.

In fact, Blacksmith Qiu has always loved Qiu Juhua and has always been in pain. It's just that later, the more children in the family, the heavier the life. He had to leave home, set foot in a distant country, and worked hard day and night. Sometimes I don't go home for a year or two, and when I go home, I just stay in a hurry for a while, and I will leave in a hurry after the war.

Qiu Blacksmith's self-blame for Qiu Juhua is actually self-blame from neglect, and his neglect on the road of Qiu Juhua's growth led to Qiu Juhua's misfortune. And among them, there is no lack of tricks of fate.

The next day, the twenty-ninth year. Snow.

Uncle Zhou presented the gift list sent to each family to Youran.

On the gift list is Zhou Da Fenjuanxiu's small letters. It is written about Zhan Mansion, Chen Mansion, Lu Mansion, Wu Mansion, Zuixian Building, Penglai Immortal......

Basically, they are large customers who order leisurely fruits and vegetables. Except for the county grandfather's family. But to put it more carefully, the county master is also counted, every time Master Lu buys red fruits, he takes the county master with him.

He's a staff member, more like a food bureaucracy.

nodded leisurely, "Since it's all ready, let's send it to each family quickly." If it weren't for the freshness of our red fruit picture, it would have been delivered a few days ago. Now that the snow is falling, you should be careful on the road. ”

He also instructed Uncle Zhou, who went to the Zhan Mansion, "Be sure to personally present what I wrote to the county magistrate." ”

Uncle Zhou repeatedly assured that he was on the road with two baskets of red fruits, a small bag of ground cumin powder, and leisurely braised roe meat.

For the current Zhan Shixiu, whether to have a holiday or not is actually the same.

When I was in Beijing, since Layue, there have been more socials around me, and there are a lot of socials, and you can't hide from them. Now, being beaten to such a small county, you want to find someone to socialize, but you can't find it.

Those eighth-grade and ninth-grade officials under his hands all knew that Zhan Shixiu didn't like to be noisy, so he wouldn't come to visit without a hundred thousand urgent events.

Zhan Shixiu, who was carefully copying a person's "Mountains and Rivers and Clouds" in the south study, suddenly heard a report to Fuchun, and when someone looked for him, he was stunned.

I heard Xiang Fuchun say that it was an old guy next to Mrs. Gao, surnamed Zhou. Mrs. Gao sent him some fresh red fruits as a gift for Botsun.

Zhan Shixiu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Accept the gift and reward it heavily." ”

Xiang Fuchun didn't move, and said: "Master, this old man said that he must see you in person, and he said that if you have something in your hand, you must hand it over to you." ”

"Oh?"

After a moment, Zhan Shixiu nodded.

After a while, Uncle Zhou walked in tremblingly, exquisite and simple, with a strong bookish atmosphere, which overwhelmed him.

After kowtowing to Zhan Shixiu, Uncle Zhou explained leisurely, learned the words, and then presented a thick pile of silk cloth. Before leaving, he said, "My lord, this is a New Year's gift from our host. ”

A New Year's gift?

After Uncle Zhou left, Zhan Shixiu stared at the stack of silk cloth placed on the table, guessing, what kind of article would such a special gift contain? (To be continued.) )
