Two moments later, in Pear Blossom Lane, Gu Qingzhu hugged Gu Qingying and got out of the car in front of the noodle restaurant, and thanked Changning again and again, Gu Daya and Zheng Zhaodi heard the voice and ran out, Zhaodi took the medicine bag in her hand, the big girl reached out to hug Qingying, but the little girl hugged Gu Qingzhu's neck tightly, and refused to let go.

Seeing the carriage leave, Gu Qingzhu whispered, "Let's go back." ”

The four of them entered the house, the eldest girl turned around and closed the door, at this time, it was already a moment of time, Gu Qingshan and Fang Kui were making steamed bun noodles in the kitchen and tomorrow, when they washed their hands and returned to the dining room, they saw three girls sitting sadly, Gu Qingying was like a kitten, nesting on Gu Qingzhu's shoulders sickly.

"It's all my fault for the delay today, if I had come back earlier and gone with you, this wouldn't have happened." Gu Qingshan said with a look of annoyance.

"Earlier, Mancang asked Zhang Xi to send back the back basket and the rest of the steamed buns, as soon as we heard such a big thing, we were scared to death, and rushed to Dongshi to look for you, but it was still a step late, I heard that you left in someone else's carriage, but you didn't know where you went.

We searched all around, and we didn't see anyone, so we had to wait in the store, Zhao Di has cried twice, fortunately you're back, otherwise we'll regret dying tonight. Fang Kui was a little older, and poured a bowl of water for Gu Qingzhu.

Gu Qingzhu said in a hoarse voice: "No wonder Brother Qingshan today, I was negligent, fortunately, I happened to meet the second master of Sansheng, his entourage saved Qingying, and I took his car to Dexing to get medicine for Qingying, and I didn't have time to tell you, so I came back late, but I made you worry." ”

"It's good for people to come back, it's not early, the big girl is going to boil the medicine, Zhaodi, you bring the porridge stewed in the pot for them to eat, it's all here, you must be hungry." Fang Kui said hurriedly.

"Whoa." The eldest girl and Zhao Di woke up and hurried away.

"Has Brother Mancang been here?" Gu Qingzhu suddenly raised his eyes and asked.

Gu Qingshan shook his head: "It's going to be Qixi soon, he must be very busy, I'm afraid that he won't have time to come to us." ”

As she was talking, Zhao Di brought two bowls of red bean porridge, soft and glutinous and sweet, as well as two dishes of pickled cucumber and sour cowpeas, Gu Qingzhu coaxed Qingying to eat, but she only ate a few bites before she was nauseous and wanted to vomit, Gu Qingzhu had to give up, still held her in her arms, and ate the rest by herself.

Gu Qingshan glanced at the two brand-new frames in the corner, and didn't say anything, Fang Kui's gaze followed, eager to split it and burn it.

After Qingying escaped, she didn't cry or make trouble, but no one wanted it, she only pestered Gu Qingzhu, the eldest girl and Zhao Di couldn't help if they wanted to, Gu Qingzhu finally bathed her, fed half a bowl of medicine, and hugged her to the bed to fall asleep, but her hand was still holding Gu Qingzhu's fingers tightly, and she seemed to wake up as soon as she let go.

Gu Qingzhu had to sit on the small pestle in front of the bed, thinking of the situation at that time, she was afraid again and again, at this time, Fang Jue's whole body was sore, as if she had done a hard day's work, and she was so tired that she even seemed to have to take a lot of effort to breathe.

"You go wash and I'll watch it for you." After washing, Zhao Di whispered.

Gu Qingzhu shook her head tiredly: "Forget it, she won't be able to see me when she wakes up for a while, so she should be afraid." ”

The eldest girl and Zhao Di couldn't, so they had to get hot water, wring a hot handkerchief, and wipe her sweat briefly.

The night was silent, the eldest girl and Zhao Di both slept, in order to prevent Gu Qingying from waking up in the middle of the night, there was a dim light on the table, Gu Qingzhu couldn't hold it, and lay on the side of the bed and took a nap.

When I was half asleep and half awake, I heard Gu Qingying crying and shouting: "Sister, I want to go home, I want to go home!" ”

Gu Qingzhu woke up suddenly.

"Qingying, Qingying!" Gu Qingzhu didn't dare to make a loud noise, only patted her gently and whispered: "Little sister, big sister take you home......"

How much sadness, grievance, and loneliness erupted at this moment, and before she finished speaking, she was already in tears!

Gu Qingying seemed to be immersed in her own dream, she couldn't hear Gu Qingzhu's words at all, she cried to herself, and then kicked her legs and punched, struggling desperately.

"Qingying ......" Gu Qingzhu held back his sadness and kept calling softly.

She had never seen her like this, although Tan Lide had already told her that she would have nightmares, but when it happened, she was still at a loss, and her heart was so distressed that her internal organs seemed to be grabbed.

Qingying's crying voice became louder and louder, the eldest girl and Zhao Di woke up, one brought a lamp to shine, and the other hurriedly poured water to dry, even Fang Kui and Gu Qingshan asked in a low voice outside the door.

The eldest girl replied through the door that it was Qingying's nightmare, so it was okay, they just went back to their own house.

Gu Qingzhu half-leaned on the head of the bed, held Qingying in his arms and shook it, and said only one sentence over and over again: "Qingying, don't be afraid, my sister will take you home." The tone was gentle but firm.

Seeing this, the eldest girl and Zhao Di both had red eyes, and they put their hands on Gu Qingzhu's shoulders to give her silent support.

After tossing a stick of incense, Gu Qingying slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the people around him in a daze, and muttered, "Sister, I want to drink water." ”

Gu Qingzhu cried with joy, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes." ”

Zheng Zhaodi carefully handed the tea bowl to Gu Qingzhu, she lowered her head and drank a little, it was just warm, and Fang gave it to Qingying to drink.

Gu Dong drank a big bowl of water, Gu Qingying's eyes slowly became clear, but she used a lot of strength in her dream, at this time, she neither spoke nor made noise, her small body was soft, and after a while, she gradually sweated a lot.

The eldest girl hurriedly went to fetch the hot water boiling on the stove, Gu Qingzhu wiped her, changed her clothes, coaxed softly for a while, and slowly fell asleep, Gu Qingzhu took the time to wash.

At this time, the sky was already white, the eldest girl and Zhao Di were crooked on the bed for a while, so they got up and went to the morning market to buy, Gu Qingzhu didn't sleep all night, and he was afraid that Qingying would wake up and see no one scared, so he had to stay and sleep with him for a while.

But she has always been an early riser, and she is worried about the business in front of her, and she is worried that Gu Daya and they will not be busy, so she only sleeps for an hour, and then she gets up to do things.

Xu is because of the medicine, Gu Qingying slept peacefully this night, and did not wake up until the end of the day, during this period, Gu Qingzhu ran non-stop in the front hall and backyard, taking care of the business in front of him for a while, and then going to the backyard to see his sister.

"Sister!" Just when Gu Qingzhu was in a dilemma, Gu Qingsong, who was carrying a small burden, held a sugar gourd, and stepped into the door excitedly.

Gu Daya walked up to meet him, peeked at his face, looked very happy, and said, "Why are you here today, there are no classes in the school?" ”

"Where is my sister and Qingying?" Gu Qingshan's eyes swept over the people eating in the dining room, but he didn't see them, and said a little eagerly.

Gu Daya pulled him to the backyard, and after thinking about it carefully, she said, "Qingying was a little uncomfortable yesterday, and your sister accompanied her." ”

When I walked into the house, I saw Gu Qingzhu pacing around the house with the young Qingying, coaxing softly, and feeding her medicine every once in a while.

"Sister, Qingying!" When Gu Qingshan saw this, his eyes instantly turned red.

The two sisters rolled their eyes at the same time, Gu Qingzhu's eyes widened in disbelief, and Qingying pouted and cried out: "Brother! ”

This voice was so aggrieved that it almost made people's hearts cry. Gu Daya couldn't bear it, wiped her eyes, turned her head and went back to the front.

"Good girl, Qingying, who bullied you, brother beat him for you, the kind that beats him to death!" Gu Qingsong stretched out his arms to hug her and handed the sugar gourd to her.

Looking at the red sugar gourd, Gu Qingying swallowed her saliva and muttered, "Well, Brother is the best." ”

Gu Qingsong grinned with a big smile on his face, and said to her, "Let's drink the medicine and eat the sugar gourd slowly, this is the biggest and reddest one I picked." ”

"Okay." At this time, Qingying was very well-behaved, drank all the remaining medicinal juice in one gulp, opened her mouth and bit half of the hawthorn, which was sour and sweet, and narrowed her eyes.

"It's not a year, why are you here, is the school on vacation?" Gu Qingzhu only had a chance to ask at this time.

Gu Qingsong nodded: "Mr. Liu said, it is rare for Nancang County to hold a national lantern exhibition, we are so close, we should really go to see the world, start today for two days off to watch the lanterns, and when I go back, I will make an article and give it to him to see." ”

"Oh, then you play with Qingying for a while, and I'll take a look at the front." Gu Qingzhu pointed outside, and the noise in the dining room in front had already reached the backyard.

Gu Qingying was only thinking about eating sugar gourds at this time, sticking to her mouth full of sugar, Gu Qingsong wiped her with a handkerchief, and nodded silently at the eldest sister.

At this time, the dining room is full of guests, a steady stream of guests, it is difficult to find one for a while, some people can't wait, so they squat by the door to suck a bowl of wontons, nibble on a few buns, and rush to the East Market.

Today is the sixth day of the first month of July, the lanterns of the East Market are almost going to be lit up, some people go to see all kinds of lantern styles during the day, and at night they go to see the lanterns in the jumping candle flame to paint a dreamy and ethereal colorful brilliance, therefore, all day long, the lantern watchers are endless, crowded and difficult to walk, when to go, it is not too late.

Qingying took the medicine, and Gu Qingsong was by her side, she was a lot happier, and her spirit was obviously restored, the child couldn't do it, so he refused to be trapped in the backyard, but with his brother, he sneaked into the kitchen, opened the curtain, and looked outside.

After the afternoon, there were fewer people, and Gu Qingzhu and the others had to sit down for lunch.

"Brother Qingshan, where is the frame I asked you to sit on yesterday?" Gu Qingzhu was eating, and asked when he remembered it.

Gu Qingshan didn't expect her to be thinking about this matter at this time, and said with a little stammering: "In ...... In the backyard, in our house. ”

Fang Kui glanced at Qingying and Qingsong, and tactfully persuaded: "Today, Qingshan and I will go to the East Market to sell steamed buns, and you can accompany your younger brothers and sisters in the store." ”

"Yes, yes, at the lantern show, there are all kinds of people, there are many people, and they are better men." The big girl echoed.

"I listened to several guests say that they should eat more at noon, and when they enter the lantern show, they don't know when they will come out, but you can imagine how many people gather in the East Market, we can't make a few dollars just by selling steamed buns, or noodles and dumplings to earn more." Gu Qingzhu analyzed carefully.

"But ......" Zhao Di glanced at Qingying, and stopped talking.

"With me with Qingying, my brothers and sisters just have to do what they want to do." Gu Qingsong sensed their concern and raised his eyebrows.

Gu Qingzhu felt a lot of emotion in his heart, but he couldn't express it for a while, and only patted his younger brother's still thin shoulder.

Fang Kui knew that he couldn't stop it, so he had to come up with an idea: "If you want me to say, noodles, dumplings, and wontons, among the three, it is the best to make, and it is cooked quickly, and you can earn more, when you count wontons, Qingzhu, you might as well do this in Dongshi, it is simple and trouble-free, diners don't have to wait too long, with steamed buns, you can eat enough and save money." ”

"I've been thinking about this for the past few days, and by coincidence, Brother Kui and I coincide with what I thought!" Gu Qingzhu's eyes were bright, as if they were full of stars, shining brightly.
