This winter came early, but the snow didn't fall until the middle of the month. Gu Qihuai was studying outside the city, Gu's father and mother were afraid that he would be cold, so they hurriedly sent the people in the family to send charcoal and quilts over, and the pig that had just been killed also brought him some meat.

I lifted the curtain and looked at the snow outside the car window, not knowing what I was thinking. At this time, I only heard the drivers say: "Our uncle works so hard, he will definitely be able to be admitted to Xiucai next year." ”

"Alas, I hope that this year's Futai adults can treat our uncle as equals, otherwise it will be too wronged."

"Uncle is young and still has a chance, I heard that there is a Xiucai surnamed Qin in Fengyuan County, and he has been taking the township examination for more than 20 years, and finally got admitted to Yayuan but died ...... death."

She listened to the words silently, and even though it was her own family matter, she didn't feel anything. In the event of such a catastrophe at home, she can still be fed and clothed, which is the greatest luck. Moreover, a woman can't be an official, even if she is unwilling, what can she do?

I don't know how long it took before I came to the other courtyard where Gu Qihuai studied. The yard is built in the bamboo forest, although the leaves are falling and the grass is withered at this time, the red plum in the courtyard is blooming luxuriantly, and the fragrance of flowers has been smelled before getting off the car.

Qin Suosi got out of the car, there was already a little maid waiting outside the door, the little maid took the salute in her hand, and said with relief: "You can be regarded as here." ”

Hearing his anxious tone, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Sister-in-law Chen, who is cooking, fell and is now lying in bed and can't get up, and it's not easy for us to take care of a group of men, so thank you for coming in time."

Hearing this, Qin Suosi frowned unhappily, but he didn't say anything, and entered the courtyard saying that he was going to see the uncle first. The little maid said that this was the way it should be, and led her to meet someone. Gu Qihuai was reading a book, and when he saw someone coming, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, hurriedly put down the book and walked towards her, and said with a smile: "I thought you didn't want to come." ”

"Madame has instructed me to let the good student take care of the uncle." She said softly.

Gu Qihuai snorted, and said to the little girl, "You take the girl down to rest," and then said to him, "Come over for dinner in a while." ”

"Uncle, Sister-in-law Chen fell, and no one cooked." The little girl said a little melancholy, "I'm afraid I have to worry about the girl......"

"What about you?" Gu Qihuai frowned and asked.

"The small ones won't be either, and even if they make them, they won't dare to give them to you to eat." He muttered quietly.

Hearing this, Gu Qihuai sighed helplessly, "I invited people to come here after three invitations and four invitations, and I have to cook as soon as I come," he sighed and said, "I have wronged you." ”

Si shook his head, said that this should be, and said goodbye to Gu Qihuai.

He looked at her back, rubbed his brow in annoyance, and turned to sit back at his desk.

……

Although Qin Suosi's cooking skills are average, he can also cope with the meals of seven or eight people, Gu Qihuai saw a full plate of delicacies, and said with a smile: "You are really good at the hall and the kitchen." ”

She didn't have any expression, and said calmly, "It should be." ”

Gu Qihuai left her to eat by her side, but she shirked it on the grounds that she didn't take extra dishes and chopsticks, and went to the kitchen to eat by herself. Rejected by her many times, he was used to it, just thinking that he was a flood beast? Worth so much of her fear?

Let's say that the sister-in-law Chen, who broke her leg, couldn't move while lying on the bed, if she just sent some food, but the most troublesome thing was the internal emergency, a bunch of rough men, who was not suitable to take care of them, so after unanimous discussion and decision, it was decided to take care of them.

When she heard this, she was extremely unhappy in her heart, and said indifferently: "Hurt her muscles and bones for a hundred days, instead of letting her lie like this, it is better to follow Sixi and them back and change someone." ”

"Girl, Sister-in-law Chen broke her leg, and now it's getting late and the road is slippery, how can you go back with us? If something goes wrong along the way, it's not you who suffers? Sixi said.

Hearing this, she couldn't help but say angrily: "That's right, but she and I are not related, I can't do this, please let him know." ”

"I said, girl, you are also literate and literate, why don't you talk about benevolence and righteousness at all, and speak so ugly? The books are all in the dog's belly? ”

Hearing this, she turned her eyes to look at him and said angrily: "It is precisely because I know how to read and reason that I say so, if I am like you, I don't know the words of Dou Da, I will speak even more ugly!" ”

"You little girl, if you don't do it, you won't do it, why do you still look down on people......"

"I'm not looking down on you......"

"Are you not or who are? A thing that has a mother and no mother's education...... Ahh

Before he finished his words, Qin Suosi picked up the teapot and threw it at him, and the hot tea splashed on his body, and he suddenly yelled in pain. And she just glanced at him indifferently, and when she turned around and was about to go out, she saw Gu Qihuai pushing the door in, and a group of people were surrounding Sixi and didn't know what they were doing.

"What's wrong?" He asked with a frown.

"She scolded me for having a mother and not a mother, so I poured tea on him." She said with a cold face.

Hearing this, he frowned even more, and said in a deep voice: "Go out." ”

She went out according to her words, he walked over and asked Sixi how he was injured, and then asked how he quarreled, and everyone said this and this and this is not what Qin was thinking, he frowned deeper when he heard it, "People say that killing people is not punishable, you are killing people and punishing hearts, knowing that she has no father and no mother, she still said so, this time she was scalded with water, in my opinion, it is not too much to ask someone to beat you in the future." Besides, Sister-in-law Chen broke her leg, you let her stay here, will you treat her? ”

Sixi was scolded so much that he bowed his head and admitted his mistake, Gu Qihuai glanced at him with disgust, and said coldly: "I'll go and compensate her later." ”

Even if she was resentful in her heart, she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Gu Qihuai, so she could only apologize to Qin Suosi with the support of others, but she didn't let people in, and said coldly in the house: "I know." "There is not a single mention of scalding people with water. Sixi had to take a breath of resentment and take Sister-in-law Chen back to the city.

Seeing that everyone had gone down, Gu Qihuai stood outside the door, hesitating and about to speak, when Qin Suosi just opened the door and came out. Seeing each other, both of them were stunned, but Qin Suosi spoke first: "Uncle is still something?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay......"

She sighed, and when she saw that he didn't say anything but didn't leave, she pondered, "Are you hungry?" I'm going to cook you some supper? ”

"No...... There is indeed a point. He looked at her and smiled sheepishly, "Trouble girl." ”

Qin Suosi glanced at him and pursed his lips and smiled, "You go back to the house first and wait, I'll come when I go." With that, he headed for the kitchen.

Gu Qihuai responded, looking at her distant back, and instantly felt that he was a fool.

When Qin Suosi came over with supper, he was washing his feet, and when he saw someone coming, he hurriedly stood up, and the footcloth on his lap fell into the basin.

Seeing that he had a somewhat honest appearance, Qin Suosi couldn't help but laugh and put down the supper, "Do you still have a dry towel?" ”

Gu Qihuai sat down a little embarrassed, "Yes...... Hanging on the screen. ”

She took a towel from the screen and handed it to him, waited for him to wipe his feet, and said softly, "Eat supper while it's hot." ”

He answered, picked up the bowl of wine-stuffed meatballs, and couldn't help but turn around to look at her. She wore an apricot yellow dress, and the orange candlelight fell on her body at this time, making her more and more gentle and demure. His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly turned his gaze back to eat. Maybe she puts a lot of sugar, and this bowl of wine-stuffed meatballs is extraordinarily sweet.

She wrung out the towel and took out the footwater, and when she returned, he had finished eating and was lying on the bed reading.

"Glutinous food is not easy to digest, do you want to stand for a while and rest?" She reminded.

"Do you know if you don't digest it and make it for me?" He feigned anger.

"There is only glutinous rice noodles in the kitchen, and Ming'er asked the family to bring some wheat noodles?"

Gu Qihuai smiled, "You can call the shots." ”

When Qin Suosi heard this, he felt a little strange, but he couldn't say anything strange, so he had to lean over and say, "If it's okay, I'll go down to rest, and you can rest early." ”

He hummed, looked at her and said softly, "Don't take today's matter to heart." ”

Hearing this, she smiled disappreciatively, "It's okay." I'll go down first, and you rest. He took two steps back and turned to leave.

And Sixi returned home, and said that Qin Suosi had a bad temper and sharp teeth, so it was not appropriate to stay with the uncle. Father Gu listened to the words and felt that Qin was thinking too much, and wanted her to come back and change someone to take care of his son, but was interrupted by Gu's mother coughing. He saw his wife frowning and shaking her head in a blink of an eye, only to hear her say: "I asked her to take care of the uncle, not to take care of Sister-in-law Chen, it is normal for her to be unwilling." Don't talk about this kind of trivial matter in the future, besides, you are a big man, what do you have to compete with a little girl? ”

Gu's father looked at Gu's mother and instantly understood something, and he coughed dryly twice and waved his hand to let Sixi go down, and secretly sighed in his heart that his son's vision was very good, but he didn't know what Zhang Guang would think.

Since then, the whole Gu Mansion has known that Qin Suosi is the little daughter-in-law that Gu's father and mother found for Gu Qihuai, and she is half a young grandmother, so she can't be provoked. But she didn't know anything about it, and meticulously took care of Gu Qihuai every day to study, put on clothes when it was cold, and cook noodles when she was hungry. However, the noodles she cooked could only be eaten by Gu Qihuai, and they were only cooked for Gu Qihuai.

"Other people's girls don't touch the spring water with their fingers, but they have wronged you with me." He took a sip of hot tea and laughed in harmony.

She was adding charcoal to the stove, and she didn't react to his ambiguous words, so she added the stove and said to him in a harmonious voice: "Madame asked someone to bring a message, saying that tomorrow and the new year, let me go home for dinner." ”

He sighed and leaned back in his chair, and said with emotion: "The twilight of the old age, the mole cricket is ......sad at sunset" He waited for a while, but didn't hear her next sentence, looked up, and saw that someone was sitting in front of the stove flipping through the book, he smiled, "What do you think?" ”

She looked up at him, "What's wrong?" ”

"I wish to smile and return hand in hand."

Her face darkened, and she said in a deep voice: "Play the piano randomly." She knew he would say that, so she didn't skip the last four sentences as usual, as usual, and read them to her by name.

Gu Qihuai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Pack up your things and go home tomorrow." ”

She didn't want him either, pulled a face, got up to help him pack his luggage.
