Chapter 14: The Rain Grows Stronger and Stronger (1)
He thought she was good at drinking. After drinking two bowls of aged wine, it can still maintain normalcy. When she returned to Langyuan and lay on the sofa as soon as she went upstairs, he knew that she was not only drunk, but also very drunk. Sure enough, the old wine was too strong.
Probably because he was there, Zhang's mother Qiuwei didn't immediately follow.
He sat down and watched her hug the cushions on the couch, muttering words in her mouth.
It's vague, and it takes a lot of effort to make out what it is.
It is a poem in English.
The rhyme that should be sonorous and powerful was read by her, how to listen to it, how not to taste.

Although the incident of Qilin'er falling into the water was dangerous, fortunately, the treatment was timely. Jingyi visited every day, and felt that the child was vigorous after all, and Qilin'er's body recovered quickly. It's just that maybe because of being frightened, it's always a little wilting. Jingyi always wanted to bring him something new so that he could have more fun during his illness. On this day, I finally remembered the box of things that Dunhuang sent her. So I turned over the cabinet and opened it, picked two things to keep for myself, and took the rest to Tan Yuan to give to Qilin'er.
When she and Qiu Weiyue'er went, Qilin'er was accompanied by Tao Jun and was resting on the couch in the outhouse. Qilin'er leaned on the embroidered pillow, Tao Jun's wheelchair was close to the couch, and the father and son were snuggled together, and Fu Lizhen was not seen.
Jingyi asked, knowing that Fu Lizhen had gone to Luo Ruitang. She asked Yue'er and Qiu Wei to take out all the things for Qilin'er, there were too many things, and Qilin'er was in a hurry to see them, Tao Jun simply asked them to put all the things on the couch. The unicorn touched and touched the east and west in a pile of things, and hugged the one she liked into her arms when she saw it. Wooden dolls, small bamboo horses, lantern whistles...... When I saw the whole set of "Tang Seng Learns the Scriptures" shadow puppet props, I happily picked it up and danced.
Tao Jun saw that he was happy and said, "I haven't seen him smile for a few days." Thank you, Seventh Sister. Where did all this stuff come from? I didn't think to find some of this to play with Lin'er. β
"Most of them are bought on the street on the night of the Lantern Festival." Jing Yi said without changing his face. Of course, she couldn't tell the truth to Tao Jun, and she couldn't tell the truth. Can't tell Tao Jun that these things were given to her by the bandit leader Xiao Dunhuang, right?
Tao Jun smiled.
"Lin'er, thank you, little aunt." He reminded his son.
"Thank you, little aunt!" Qilin'er stood up from the couch with a large number of shadow puppets. It was hot, and he was dressed in a gauze robe, like a thin and dexterous little dragonfly, and he was very cute.
"No thanks." Jingyi said with a smile. Qilin'er's nurse stood by and watched Qilin'er jump on the couch, she hurriedly went over and carried him to the ground. Qilin'er pounced and hugged Jingyi, her little face flushed. Jing Yi touched his forehead, he had no fever for a long time, and asked, "Have you had an injection?" β
"No injections." Qilin'er whispered, "Mother has given me a good bitter medicine these days." It's not delicious. Daddy also helped my mother, so I had to drink medicine......"
"When you're well, you won't have to drink it." Jingyi smiled. Tao Jun asked Fushun to bring her a chair, and she sat down. Qilin'er simply came over and got tired of her, and the strings of things in her hands were dinging...... It's rare to see Qilin'er so happy, she asked: "It's okay now, Lin'er has something to play with, and it's not boring." β
"Hmm...... Auntie, I'll show you the picture. Daddy is telling me the story in the photo......" Qilin'er suddenly remembered, ran to Tao Jun with a gadget, and brought a book-like thing from the couch, "Little aunt, come and see, Uncle Seven!" β
Tao Jun saw that Qilin'er quickly ran to Jingyi's side, but he didn't hold his son, so he had to smile and say, "Lin'er slow down." β
The nurse helped Qilin'er take everything away. He still had a colorful gourd hanging around his neck, and came over to lie on Jingyi's lap. Jing Yi saw that he was holding a photo book, and showed it to her like a baby. She looked at Qilin'er, smiled, and said, "Where is Uncle Seven?" β
"In the middle." Qilin'er saw that Jingyi was interested, and became more and more anxious to offer the treasure.
Tao Jun said helplessly: "Lin'er speaks slowly, and the words must be clear." β
"A few dishes." Qilin'er dealt with her father without raising her head, and turned a few pages before pointing it out to Jingyi, "Daddy said, this is the seventh uncle...... I'm about the same age, isn't it? β
Jingyi looked at it, and in the photo were five brothers and sisters of the Tao family. It seems that Er'an is Eryi's current age, or it is not yet, and the small boy standing in the center is wearing a dress and frowning...... It is indeed Tao Xiang. His eyebrows and eyes were very clear, and from about that young age, he didn't like to smile very much.
"It seems to be seven or eight years old, slightly older than Lin'er." Tao Jun said.
Jingyi nodded.
Qilin'er was still looking through the photo book for Jingyi. This one should have been taken in those two or three years, arranged in chronological order. Qilin'er showed Jingyi that there was Tao Xiang, thought about it and said, "No, there are also seven uncles and aunts who took pictures together...... I've just seen it, well......"
Jing Yi was looking at the last photo in the book, Tao Jun and Tao Si were behind, and Tao Xiao was standing on the square bench, only to Tao Jun's ear...... Hearing Qilin'er say this, she closed the book, and Qilin'er ran away again. His nurse chased after him, shouting at the young master not to run.
Qilin'er rummaged over on the couch, and Tao Jun said, "Lin'er, don't pester the little aunt, you remember wrong......"
"Nope!" Qilin'er was not convinced. He glared back at his father. The eyes were very similar to Fu Lizhen's appearance when she was angry. "It must be here."
"Lin'er is looking for it slowly." Jing Yi was a little angry when she saw Qilin'er's small appearance.
"Here it is." Qilin'er first looked for a photo and flashed it in front of Tao Jun's eyes before coming over, "Little aunt, let's see if it's the seventh uncle and aunt?" β
"It's been a photo from many years ago, Chen Guzi is rotten sesame. Lin'er, you're so naughty. Tao Jun said lightly.
Qilin'er's little finger pressed the photo and looked at it quietly.
The boys and girls in the photo are probably wearing white shirts and sitting on the grass...... She looked closely at the two people in the photo, smiled quietly, and looked in the direction of the camera. A reserved, subtle and beautiful smile, even if it seems to have crossed a time bridge for many years at this moment, you can still feel the warm and even warm sunshine.
She flipped back a page. There are two more, but they are under the noisy pear blossoms.
Qilin'er muttered to Jingyi. Jingyi also talked to him. All the photos in the album were seen by the two of them.
"I was so young back then." Tao Jun said.
Jingyi touched Qilin'er's head and asked the nurse to send Qilin'er to the couch. Qilin'er was a little excited to play and refused. She asked the nurse to carry him away.
"The seventh sister has a way of dealing with children." Tao Jun said.
Jingyi waited for Qilin'er to sit down on the couch obediently before saying, "Actually, I'm very bad." The smile on her face immediately put away, and she made a terrifying appearance at Qilin'er.
How did Qilin'er giggle even more when she saw it, and said, "Little aunt, you are dying of laughter, how can it be!" β
Jingyi laughed again and said, "Then you have to be obedient, otherwise I will be very fierce." β
Qilin'er is still smiling, and her eyebrows and eyes are crooked when she smiles.
Tao Jun saw that he was happy, sighed, and said, "Naughty." β
Jingyi closed the book in his hand and handed it to Fushun on the side. Tao Jun took the book from Fushun's hand and looked at her. Jingyi felt that although Tao Jun didn't say anything, his eyes seemed to say everything. She actually wanted to ask, even if it was how old they were when they took the picture.
"I heard my father say that you will go out with Lao Qi in a few days." Tao Jun looked at Qilin'er rubbing his eyes, patting Qilin'er's small body to coax him to sleep, looking like a loving father. "The area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang soon entered Huangmeitian. Fortunately, you are studying over there, so it is not difficult to accept. It's just that the old seven poles hate humid climates. β
Jingyi listened and nodded. Seeing that Qilin'er was almost asleep, she signaled that it was time for her to go. Tao Jun asked Fushun to send them out. Fushun only sent it to the door of the main house and came back, saying, "Big young master, did you talk too much to the seventh young grandmother." β
Tao Jun waved his hand.
Raised his eyes and looked out the windowβthe two girls were holding umbrellas, and Cheng Jingyi was walking out of Tan Yuan quicklyβhe looked at the things piled up on the couch, and ordered someone to collect them carefully, so that they could be kept for Qilin'er to play with.
"The Seventh Young Master is still carrying it with the handsome." Fushun whispered.
"How long can he carry it? Father decides. Besides," Tao Jun turned his wheelchair and went to the outhouse, "Compared with the second child, the seventh child is ruthless at a critical moment." Don't say I'm a waste person today, even if I'm not, I don't dare to say, I must be better than him. β
"Why should the eldest young master be humble." Fushun said, naturally unconvinced in his tone.
Tao Jun smiled.
He turned his wheelchair and was facing the door, and when he saw his wife just entering, he said, "I'm back." β
Fu Lizhen was a little surprised when she saw him smiling, he was in a good mood.
Tao Jun said to Fushun: "Push me out to take a breath." β
"I'll do it." Fu Lizhen said.
Tao Jun motioned for Fushun to wait, looked at Fu Lizhen and asked, "Aunt and grandmother are all right?" β
"Okay." Fu Lizhen replied.
Tao Jun looked at her for a while before saying, "Lin'er is asleep, you go and watch him." The seventh sister came here just now, and he was a little tired from playing. β
Fu Lizhen looked at him and was speechless for a while.
"Don't worry too much about this incident. Although Lin'er is small, she can also run and jump. Usually he is already very tight, after all, he is a son, and the restraint is too strict, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. Tao Jun said slowly, looking at the strong sunlight in the courtyard, "In the future, I will take more responsibility for his discipline." β
Fu Lizhen's face turned pale.
