Chapter 18: A Thousand Turns (2)

Jingyi sat next to Mrs. Tao and looked up at the pear blossoms.

Tao Xiang doesn't like to eat pears.

The pears sent from Shichuan in autumn are said to be fruits from ancient trees, and they are smaller, but they are rare because the skin is thin and the flesh is thick, and the kernels are very small...... But she liked it. Those who were sent to Langyuan were all eaten by her. She just said something delicious, and the next day she sent two big baskets. Tao Xiang was at home that day, and when she saw her worrying about the two large baskets of pears, she said that this was not a valuable thing, so why bothered about it...... She couldn't finish eating, and she really thought that the pear was good, she thought of a lot of ways and didn't want to waste it. Later, Zhang's mother thought of a good way and put it in the backyard cellar. When I took it out during the Spring Festival, it was still fresh. Zhang's mother has a very good way. She loves to eat grapes, and in summer Zhang's mother cut grapes from the garden, put them in the jar with the vines to seal them, and take them out in winter, and the face and leaves are green, fresh and delicious.

Tao Xiang looked at it and asked where this trick came from. Zhang's mother was silent, and Tao Xiang didn't ask. Later, I don't know if Zhang's mother was intentional or unintentional, but she mentioned that the second wife is very good at housekeeping, and there are some small tricks in daily life...... Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Tao Xiang left in the morning, and after she sent him out, Zhang's mother whispered to her that the seventh young master wanted her to go to Germany with the young grandmother...... She really didn't expect him to even have to arrange this for her.

If she takes Mother Zhang away, won't Langyuan be empty?

She looked up at the pear blossom for a long time, only to feel that the sun was gradually dazzling, and she took a handkerchief to cover it.

"He's so picky about eating, isn't it all your mother's habit?" Old Madam Tao said disapprerovingly.

Er Yi laughed. She looked at Jingyi and said, "In the past, my mother was used to it, but now the seventh sister-in-law also follows him, and the problem of picking her mouth can't be changed." ”

Jingyi said: "It's not a problem. ”

Er Yi smiled and nodded, "Fortunately, the seventh sister-in-law doesn't look at it." ”

She laughed hard and looked at Jingyi. Jing Yi unconsciously began to blush again.

She was a little annoyed with herself. It's just a joke with little meaning...... She listened to Eryi's words today, and she could always hear something else.

The handkerchief is twisted on the finger, and it is a little hard.

They were silent for a while. It was as if they were all listening to the breeze blowing the branches and shaking the pear blossoms of a tree.

"Brother Qi has nothing else besides this. Once you go out and march to war, where can you pay attention to it? Eating and sleeping in the open, didn't he deal with it as usual? When I think about it, I really feel sorry for him. Er Yi said softly, also a little distracted.

Jingyi crouched on the railing, looking at the clear lake. The lotus leaves on the water surface are still small, looking at them from a distance, they are like copper coins, tender and green, and they are eye-catching. I don't know if I heard them talking, far and near, deep and shallow water, koi slowly gathered here.

The old grandmother loved these carps very much, and they were fat and strong.

She looked at the koi fish and was fascinated - Yamei had long said that the old grandmother had raised a pool of koi, which was no worse than the one in the Peiping family...... It was that day that she took them to visit Qingyuan. When I saw a koi, I started talking about it. They also said that the koi raised by the old grandmother also had a temper like the owner, and they were a little anxious. At this time, I saw them swimming in the blue water, leisurely, but not impatient or anxious...... She looked at her grandmother, who was also looking at the water.

With warm eyes and soft sunny light, I don't know how many peaceful times she has had over the years, and she seems to be at ease. But maybe it was through countless storms and waves. It's not that I haven't been anxious and irritable, but my days have been meritorious...... She moved slightly.

"When the seventh child was born, I asked your grandfather, master, to give your new grandson a good name. The old man said, "Let's call it Aman." Full, satisfied, and satisfied. ”

"It's good, it's called such a name. There are still people calling somewhere. Once, however, I heard my father call him a kitten carelessly. Er Yi laughed.

The stamens of the flowers fall on the water.

Koi fish float up from the water and swallow with their mouths open.

"That's because he was weak when he was born, and his mother was gone, so he couldn't eat anyone's milk, and he didn't know if he could survive. To this day, I look at him in a trance, and I don't believe that there were times when there were such ...... Your grandfather looked at him and said he could hold it with one hand. Mrs. Tao took the hookah that Jin Xuan lit for her. asked with a side face, "Why hasn't Mrs. Auntie come here yet, go and ask if it's uncomfortable."

"Where is it so small." Er Yi laughed.

"Don't laugh yet, it's that big. Your father, seeing that he is such a person, he really feels sorry for Lao Qi. One day, Lao Qi was out of breath again, and he happened to come back from outside. said that there was no cure, he didn't believe it, he always said that Lao Qi's life should not be extinguished, so he forced the doctor to pour medicine, and after several hours, Lao Qi gasped again, which was considered to have picked up a life...... So when your father hit that time, he would come back and ask, is the kitten still angry? Listen to it and say it's okay, just eat an extra bowl of dry rice; If it's not good, you won't be able to eat. Old Madam Tao said softly.

"Brother Seventh is very competitive, grandma, look at his current appearance, I'm not afraid that I can't slap a wolf to death." Er Yi saw that her grandmother was a little sad, and hurriedly went back. She looked at Jing Yi and wanted Jing Yi to help, but Jing Yi listened to it.

"Yes, after the fiercest months, it's like blowing air, and it's getting better and better day by day. Your grandfather said that the more this is the case, the less pampered you are. He always takes the seventh with him. Lao Qi's temper and character today are also connived at by your grandfather......" Old Madam Tao took a puff of cigarette, thought of something, shook her head, and fell silent.

There was silence for a long time, and they all had their own thoughts, and they were silent.

Jin Xuan came back with Chen's mother and brought refreshments.

Mrs. Tao and her entourage said that they had just run out and came back early, and they motioned for Jingyi and Er Yi to use a little. Jingyi went over, poured her a cup of tea, and listened to Jin Xuan say that she had called Luo Ruitang, and her aunt and grandmother were a little dizzy when she got up early, so she said that she wouldn't come.

When Mrs. Tao heard this, she couldn't help but add another important matter. After a moment of silence, he said, "Wait a little longer, I'll see her go." ”

Saying that, she saw that Jingyi and Er Yi were also uncomfortable, and smiled again, asking them not to be like this.

"This old lady has been shouting for the past two years, today is not tomorrow, and after a while, she may come to play hard." She spoke, taking a sip of tea and smiling slightly.

Jingyi looked at her with a smile, but there was always a bit of depression in her eyes.

"Grandma, Brother Seven's words always count, but this time he said that he will come back in three months." Er Yi knew what Mrs. Tao was thinking, so he said.

Jingyi poured tea for her as well.

"Three months? I don't think it will be possible. Mrs. Tao said, beckoning Jin Xuan to come over and ask for fish food. Stretched out his hand and twisted a little, threw it down, and brought the koi over and scrambled for food.

Jingyi was still standing, and Er Yi thought that she only cared about the fish and asked her to sit down.

"It's a long way off." Jingyi said softly. She had no idea how to fight this battle. But I also heard what Dunhuang said. Xiao Dunhuang's grasp of the battle situation is always clearer than her. Besides, she only looked at the map every day, and she could understand that such a long distance, just in the past, was already sleepy, and the rebels were waiting for work...... She thought about it, and her heart trembled a little. Subconsciously, she pressed her chest.

"Brother Qi came back last night, and he talked to me for a while before he went back from grandma." Er Yi twisted a piece of pine cake, "Said that if I go out, he won't be able to come back, and the second brother." But he wanted to send me to Guangxi. ”

Jingyi lowered her head and listened to Mrs. Tao say, "It's okay for any of the brothers to send you there." Look at the dowry that your mother prepared for you, it is a plane and a train, and the train has a special train, it is really troublesome for the Bai family to pick up relatives. ”

Er Yi smiled and said: "It's not my idea, it's not that it's the rules, and it's my turn, it's still better than the eldest sister back then, let alone compared with the seventh sister-in-law." If I want to make an idea, I must say that the more frugal the better, give me a check, and bring my clothes. ”

Jingyi smiled when she heard this.

Tao Xiang also told her last night that maybe he would come back when she left.

"The eldest sister should also be here these days. I always said that I would come back to live for a while before I got married. Eryi said.

Old Madam Tao smiled and nodded.

"Can you stay for a while?" Jingyi asked. It was a letter from Er'an that I received last week. Jing Yi guessed that maybe it was because her father-in-law had been unwell recently, and Er An was a little worried.

"It can't be too long. My brother-in-law is busy, the children go to school, how can she rest assured that she has been away for a long time? Our eldest sister, that is someone who must firmly grasp everything in the palm of his hand, and he can't be wrong in the slightest. Er Yi smiled and teased the eldest sister.

It's very described, Jingyi smiled silently.

For a while, Yinxuan came to the garden and said that there was a phone call in front of her to find Miss Eight, and Er Yi got up and went back to answer the phone. Jingyi didn't see it early, and the old grandmother had been sitting outside for a long time, so it was time to go back to the house to rest. She reminded her softly, and Mrs. Tao obeyed her.

Jingyi held the old lady's arm and walked lightly.

"Jingyi, have you discussed it with Lao Qi?" Old Madam Tao asked.

Everyone:

Ming'er is still more at night.
