Chapter 18: The Heart of a Teenager
18, juvenile heart
Wang Yuanwai has been very melancholy recently, and the pawnshop has lost five hundred taels of silver for no reason, which has caused him to be unable to eat and sleep well. The Xuzhou Yamen was obviously perfunctory, and said that they had found out the facts of the case, but seven or eight days had passed, and there was no progress. Lin Geng was even more so, avoiding him, but the documents for paying taxes were delivered to the Wang family in time and unequivocally.
The weather was hot, and Wang Yuanwai "suffered a heavy blow", and he couldn't get out of his heart with a depressed breath, so he had to lie on the rocking chair alive, and he was sad and sad in front of the scenery outside the window all day long.
"Master, the Grange sent a watermelon, the skin is thin and red and juicy, sweet and crisp, cut a piece for you?"
On this day, when Wang Yuanwai was sad again, the new little guy came to him with a big watermelon and asked him if he wanted to eat it with a smile. Wang Yuanwai glanced at this little guy weakly, and waved his hand, meaning that he didn't want to eat.
This little guy is different from the previous low-eyed and pleasing eyes, always smiling, and looks very heartless. He persisted to persuade Wang Yuanwai: "Master, how can you do it without eating?" Look how rich you used to be, now you are emaciated to the shape of a human, the weather is hot and easy to eat, if you let go of the rancid, you don't have to throw it away, this melon is worth a dozen copper plates, it's a pity! β
When Wang Yuanwai heard this, he immediately had an appetite, and quickly nodded: "Then cut it." β
"Okay sir!"
The little guy rushed to cut the melon, and the king looked at his lively little body, and felt that this little slave was really very satisfied.
After a while, the watermelon was brought back, cut into crescent moons and placed on an emerald green plate, lined with red spp, which was very beautiful. Wang Yuanwai licked his dry mouth, stretched out his fingers but did not take the melon first, but began to count.
"One, two, three, four...... Well, eight pieces is right. Wang Yuanwai nodded, very satisfied with the performance of the little guy.
The watermelon is cut horizontally and vertically, and then cut in half, exactly eight petals, and it is a complete melon put together, proving that no one steals it. Wang Yuanwai picked up the watermelon and started to nibble, sucking it and eating it, with a few black melon seeds on the corners of his mouth, and asked vaguely: "By the way, what is your name?" β
The little guy's slender eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he couldn't see the eyeballs anymore, he scratched his ears and smiled: "The little one is called Ah Piao." β
"Ah Piao." Wang Yuanwai nodded, indicating that the name was easy to remember. After he finished gnawing the melon, he threw the melon skin away, but was picked up by Ah Piao. He was wondering, only to see Ah Piao holding the melon skin with the hem of his clothes, and said with a smile: "The watermelon skin can still be eaten, stir-fried and cold stewed soup, don't waste it." β
Wang Yuanwai is simply too much like this Ah Piao!
In the past, the little guy around him always didn't work long, and he left in ten days and half a month, and at most lasted for half a year, and scolded him viciously when he left. Wang Yuanwai thought to himself that you don't like this master, and this master still looks at you unpleasantly! Those cheating and slippery guys always beat his idea, and their hands and feet were not clean, so they told them to wash the grapes, and brought back three of them! They must have stolen and eaten it! The king was so angry that he curled his beard, so he deducted the wages of the little maid, and every melon seed cost a penny, so he broke up unhappily.
He hates others for being sneaky, and others hate him for being stingy. It's okay now, Ah Piao is so diligent, thrifty, hard-working, and resentful, it's just too much for his temperament.
After Wang Yuanwai finished eating the watermelon, he smacked his lips unsatisfied, Ah Piao sent a handkerchief to wipe his mouth in time, and asked: "There is also a basket of plums, do you want to eat it?" β
Wang Yuanwai patted his round belly, his mouth was hungry but his stomach couldn't fit it, and he burped: "Uh-"
Ah Piao is a little guy who is very good at looking at eyes, and immediately said: "Then let Ming'er eat again." Master, the plums should be put in the well water and left to ice, and they will be sweet and crispy when they are fished up overnight, and they will not be bad. β
Because of Ah Piao's pleasing eyes, Wang Yuanwai felt that everything he said was reasonable, so he agreed. Ah Piao rushed to place the plums.
It is said that they are full of warmth and lust. Wang Yuanwai stroked his bulging belly, but began to sigh again, he raised his head slightly and stared at the sky, thinking that if he couldn't get back five hundred taels, where should he find a way to make a fortune?
In the willow house separated by a wall, there are people quarreling.
It was said that it was a quarrel, but in fact, only one person was shouting, while the other was silent, but the foot that was going to step out of the door was very firm.
Qianqian grabbed Miao Fan, first moved with affection and reason, but couldn't dispel his determination to leave, so she threw away her gentle and lovely disguise and became aggressive.
"Let's go? Where are you going! She grabbed him by the collar, looked up and felt that he was too tall, so she actually stood on tiptoe and scolded him, "I rescued you from the fire pit, for you to eat, for you to wear, for you to live, you don't appreciate it, and you want to leave if you pat your buttocks?" You and I are what I am! β
Miao Fan knew that he would inevitably be scolded if he lived up to her kindness, but he had made up his mind, and explained in a good voice: "I know that you are kind, but I don't need you to support me, I have hands and feet to support myself, we can't live together......"
Qianqian was furious: "Why can't you?!" β
"You and I are not related, and others will gossip if we live together."
"Don't others talk too much! Everyone outside knows the relationship between you and me, if you don't stay obediently, believe it or not, I will go to the yamen tomorrow to find an official to judge! Qianqian laughed angrily, and threw her hand angrily, "You go, if you go, I'll wait for others to poke my backbone, saying that I can't stick it but will be toyed with, and I will end up with no personal wealth, maybe I can't stand such gossip, and I may die in front of the door!" β
Ah Piao, who had just climbed over the wall and went home, saw this scene as soon as he landed, walked over and patted Xiaohe on the shoulder, and glanced at it.
- What's going on?
Xiaohe leaned under the eaves and swallowed melon seeds, and handed him a handful casually, not strange.
- What else can happen, the pit is abducted and deceived by the dead skin, and the face is full of everything, crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself!
"Tsk." Ah Piao pushed her hand away, saying that he didn't eat melon seeds, he found a piece of grass out of nowhere and put it in his mouth, and shook his head with both hands in his arms, "I think Qianqian is really planted this time." β
Xiaohe spit out the melon seed shell, and smiled: "I don't think so, as the saying goes, Lang has a mistress, you dare to say that the little monk is not tempted at all?" β
Miao Fan listened to Qianqian's cruel words, and said that he was not worried that it was false. He knew that with her eccentric temperament, it was probably just a threat, but he didn't dare to take this risk, what if she really did something stupid?
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, feeling more and more dry in his mouth, he retracted his stepping leg, turned and walked towards Qianqian, and asked cautiously and apprehensively: "If I leave, you really ......"
"What's your business!" Qianqian was so fierce that he couldn't do it, he dragged him to prevent him from leaving just now, but in a blink of an eye, his face changed, and he reached out to push him out of the door, "Get out of here-I don't care if I'm dead or alive!" β
He seemed to be really angry when he saw her, maybe she really did something ridiculous when she was angry? She is very bold, deviant, and never acts according to the rules of ordinary people. On the one hand, he had the heart to avoid her, on the other hand, he couldn't let go of her, he was determined to stand still, her little arms and legs naturally couldn't push him, and that little strength seemed to him to be just tickling.
Qianqian was puffed up: "You go, go, you don't have to see me for the rest of your life!" β
Having said that, the arm she was pushing gradually drooped down, and she didn't have any strength at all.
"Don't make a fuss."
Miao Fan sighed slightly, as if he was helpless, he lowered his eyes and saw that she was like a kitten with teeth and claws, playing tricks on his chest, but she was so delicate and cute, it was more appropriate to say that she was coquettish.
Desire. He felt that he couldn't understand the word, and the intimacy during the day was the source of desire, which would make him evil, so he had to stay away from desire. Now she just asked him not to go, they didn't have too intimate movements, not even beautiful sweet words, but this was enough to make him hesitate, I don't know if this inseparable connection is also desire?
The mind is chaotic, just like sitting meditation but straying into the magic realm, the eyes are full of fog, and you can't see your heart clearly. Miao Fan raised his hand and wanted to touch Qianqian's forehead, but he clenched his palm in mid-air and froze there: "I'm not leaving." β
"Stinky monk, bad monk, bastard monk......" Qianqian scolded and scolded, suddenly reacted to what he said, and raised his eyes in surprise, "What did you say?" Really not leaving?! β
Miao Fan let out a faint "um", hurriedly lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at her, and said in a low voice: "I...... There is nowhere to go for a while, if you will take me in...... I'll be your helper. β
When he said such a thing, it seemed that he had made a high-sounding excuse for his behavior, but when he thought about it, this excuse was so unscrupulous that it would be shattered if he looked into it a little deeply.
Fortunately, he was willing to pretend to be confused, and Qianqian was willing to give him a step down, she couldn't help but smile, and deliberately said with a straight face: "Of course!" Do you think I invited an old lady to come home and serve for nothing? You are the subordinate of my family, I told you to go east, you are not allowed to go west, give me a hard job, otherwise you will be deducted from your salary and will not be given food! She was very inward-looking, holding her head high like a proud peacock, and commanded Miao Fan to boil water.
Miao Fan still didn't succeed after a lot of effort, and he was tormented by his inner desire and Buddhist reason, he didn't speak, and went into the pantry in silence all the way.
"Alasβit's more exciting than watching a big show." Xiaohe clapped her hands after eating the melon seeds, "What do you think, Brother Piao?" β
Ah Piao bites the grass: "You can guess the ending at the beginning of this kind of scene, it's boring, it's boring......"
The two of them commented on Qianqian's interpretation, causing Qianqian's knife to swish over.
"You two are full, don't you have anything to do?"
Xiaohe shrank his neck and slipped away: "No...... I'm going to see Uncle Lu coming back soon, no, you can talk. β
Ah Piao also wanted to slip away when he saw that the situation was not good, and said that it was too late and that it was fast, Qianqian had already leaned over with a charming smile, pressed his shoulder tenderly, and called affectionately: "Brother Piao-"
Ah Piao squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Good sister, even if you have something to send, brother, I promise to do it for you beautifully." β
"Little sister, where do I dare to trouble you, Brother Piao, you are my eldest brother, the most respected eldest brother." Ah Piao was hypocritical, and Qianqian opened her eyes and said nonsense. She smiled sweetly, and with a flick of her fingers on his chest, a few silver tickets were caught between her fingers, and Ah Piao reached out to grab them, but she deftly dodged them.
Ah Piao was about to cry: "Good Qianqian, will you give it back to me?" β
"Something back to you." Qianqian put away the silver ticket close to her without doing anything, as if it was not her who took Ah Piao's silver, "What you asked you to do is done?" β
"It's done...... Ah Piao didn't give up, he reached out and wanted to snatch it back, but he was slapped on the back of his hand by Qianqianyi, and he was beaten red.
She said with a cold face: "Do you want me to teach you what to do tomorrow?" β
"Hehe, no, no, no, I'm definitely not going to be bad!" Ah Piao smiled wryly, with a pitiful look, "I've had good luck these days, do you see if it's ......?"
"When this is done, you can gamble as long as you want, but you can't do it at this juncture." Qianqian has always been difficult to speak, ignoring his pretended pitiful face, turned his head and left, and was still triumphant, "The little monk is about to boil the water, I want to take a bath, you are not allowed to come with me to peek." β
Phew! Who rarely peeks at you femme fatale!
Ah Piao hid and couldn't see her, and secretly spit behind him, he was unwilling to be called by her again, but he was obviously not an opponent, and after thinking about it, Ah Piao's eyes turned to his heart.
"Qianqian girl, although that kid is a monk, but he is also a man, brother, I, as a man, will give you a kind reminder, this kind of trick of crying, making trouble and hanging yourself can be used once, and there is always a time to wear it every day."
Sure enough, Qianqian's feet paused for a moment, although she didn't speak, her movements betrayed her mood, proving that she still cared a lot.
Ah Piao snickered: "If you want to keep a man, you must first keep his body, everyone is yours, are you still afraid that your heart is not yours?" I said sister, do you have that with the little monk? β
"You have to take care of it! A dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth! β
Qianqiantou scolded him without looking back, and ran away quickly.
