Xiao Chi looked at Qiao Yi in surprise, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Qiao Yi raised his eyebrows at Xiao Chi, who was a little stunned: "Brother Xiao, you better accept it!" Stay here and watch it, right? If we take it back, who will we show it to? ”

Xiao Chi understood the deep meaning of Qiao Yi's words, and also knew that this purse was brought by Qiao Lituo Qiao Yi, and a full smile immediately appeared on his face, and he hugged the splendid glass bottle, as if he was afraid that Qiao Yi on the other side would regret going back, and nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, I naturally want it." ”

Qiao Cheng didn't know what to do, but when he saw Xiao Chi accept it with a smile on his face, he just thought that he really liked this vase, and couldn't help but smile and said: "If you like it, then take it!" ”

Only Qiao Yi understood all this in his heart, but he laughed silently in his heart, seeing Xiao Chi put the glass bottle on the shelf next to the bed in the bedroom like a baby, and wiped the outer body of the bottle repeatedly with his hands, his eyes were full of laughter and doting. As if what was in front of him was not this delicate vase, but Qiao Li himself, Qiao Yan looked at it and lowered his head and took a sip of tea gently.

After having lunch from Xiao Chi and sitting for a while, Xiao Chi and Qiao Cheng chatted a lot, and Qiao Yi pretended to be unintentional and kept observing Xiao Chi, it was already afternoon when he went out, Xiao Chi ignored Qiao Cheng and Qiao Yi's shirk, and insisted on finding a carriage to send the two home, although Qiao Cheng was a little reluctant to go, but it was true that such a carriage was more comfortable, would not detour and was less crowded, and the father and daughter took the carriage that Xiao Chi found and went home.

As soon as the carriage stopped in front of Qiao's house, Qiao Liu, who had been waiting in the yard, rushed over, shouting: "Mother, Daddy and Third Sister are back." ”

Zhang and Qiao Li, who were sitting in front of the window of the house, immediately smiled when they heard this, put down the scissors and needles in their hands, and stepped forward. Zhang walked to the door and looked at it, and asked Qiao Cheng, who had just jumped out of the car, with some confusion: "This, where is this carriage?" "The general handlebar type will only go to the entrance of the village, and the people who ride it will come down and walk home at this time, not to mention that this carriage is not clean and comfortable like those handlebar cars, which is not a little bit of a half, which makes Zhang wonder.

Qiao Cheng said with a smile: "It's not Xiao Chi's kid, he said that we can take the handlebar car back, but he just said that the carriage was too crowded, and it must be very uncomfortable to sit upside down, and said that a little girl in Gardenia must not be able to stand it crowded with so many people, so he insisted on finding a carriage to send us back." ”

"Yes" Qiao Yi, who had just jumped out of the carriage, followed and said, "Brother Xiao is fine!" ”

Zhang also smiled when he heard this: "It's really this kid who has a heart, just like when he was a child, steady and caring for people." Qiao Li on the side listened to Zhang's praise and Qiao Cheng's happy face, and couldn't help but lower her head with peace of mind, trying her best to hide the smile on the corner of her lips.

At this time, the driver also came over, followed Qiao Cheng to unload the things in the car, and then said goodbye to Qiao Cheng Qiao Yi and drove away.

And the Zhang family, Qiao Li and Qiao Liu next to them were all stunned, looking at the two big bags of things underground. Zhang pointed to this thing and asked in surprise, "Why did you buy so many things?" How much does it cost, and our family is not short of things now? ”

Qiao Cheng just picked up one of the bags, and said helplessly: "Let's move into the house first!" It's not easy to talk at the door, let's talk about it first! ”

Zhang nodded when he heard this, and moved another bag into the house with Qiao Li and Qiao Liu. Several people sat on the chairs, Qiao Li filled the teacups with tea in the teapot, and sat anxiously waiting for Qiao Cheng to speak. Qiao Cheng took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then said to a few people who were waiting: "This kid is honest, seeing that we went to thank him and bought some things, so he didn't want to lose us, we had lunch together on the street, he bought a lot of things there, and bought these two big bags for us to bring back, which can't be shirked." ”

Zhang opened one of the bags, which was full of rare melons and fruits, snacks, as well as chickens, ducks, fish, meat and eggs. Some disapprovingly clenched their hands: "This is really, obviously we went to thank others, but let people buy us such things and bring them back, how can this be good?" ”

Qiao Liu looked at Xiao Chi, who was sitting silently on the side, and then at Qiao Cheng and Zhang, who were a little uneasy, and asked suspiciously, "Then what's in this bag?" ”

Qiao Liu opened the bag and took out all the contents one by one, piling up a whole table, only to see all kinds of fabrics and six small boxes. Qiao Liu stepped forward to open one of them, and immediately exclaimed, "Wow, this is a pullover noodle." ”

Zhang and Qiao Cheng couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard it, and immediately stepped forward to look, only to see that the box that Qiao Liu opened was a set of gold heads, carved peony flower headdresses and earrings made of gold, and two gold bracelets, which looked graceful and luxurious. It is a kind of jewelry often worn by many noble ladies in the county.

Although Qiao Yi knew that Xiao Chi would buy a lot of things, he really didn't expect him to buy such valuable things, so he couldn't help but look at the other four boxes, and couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, he wouldn't buy six sets, right? Qiao Yi silently looked at Qiao Li who was staying aside, eldest sister, she probably didn't expect Xiao Chi to be so generous, right?

Zhang and Qiao Li probably also thought of it, and hurriedly opened a few other boxes, the second box set of jade heads, filled with carefully carved jade petals in the hollow of the gold edge, this set of head faces is small in shape, but it is more exquisite, it is a fancy that girls often wear, wearing it on the head will not look too big and too exaggerated, but it is enough to attract the attention of others.

The other box is a set of red agate heads, bright red and bright agate carved red flowers, which match the silver border very well, making people shine, this set of heads is also a girl's ornament, delicate and extraordinary.

The fourth box is a set of white jade heads, the white jade is carved into a white plum, and there is a white jade hairpin, the white jade and the silver are very matched, it looks very elegant, beautiful.

The other two boxes are two pieces of men's jade pendants, one large and one small, both of which are carved with auspicious blessings.

Obviously, the first set of head noodles was for the Zhang family, the three sets of girl heads were for a few girls, and the two jade pendants were for Qiao Cheng and Qiao Nan. There was silence in the room for a while, and no one was speaking for a while.

Qiao Li didn't know what she was thinking with her head down, and Qiao Liu seemed to feel that something was wrong, so she stood on the side of the chair and looked left and looked at it without saying a word. And Qiao Yi didn't mention how entangled he was in his heart, this Xiao Chi wanted to please his mother-in-law and father-in-law, and it was too obvious, these things were sent before, Zhang and Qiao Cheng can still be regarded as you as before, generous and generous to people, but today you sent such things, these preciousness will not be mentioned, Zhang and Qiao Cheng are probably clear in their hearts.

Zhang looked at the boxes unfolded in front of her, she had never brought the valuables in them until now, but today there were a few boxes in a row, and the whole family had them.

From the first time I opened the bag, I felt that something was wrong in my heart, but now when I see these heads, I suddenly understand in my heart. Zhang silently closed the box, Qiao Cheng sat on it, picked up the teacup and took a few sips of tea, looked at Zhang and didn't say anything.

Qiao Yi couldn't help but sigh, in fact, Xiao Chi's actions today can also be said to be a good thing, at least this matter has been mentioned on the surface, and it has also made Qiao Cheng and Zhang pay attention to the affairs of the two people, it is much better than silently waiting for the opportunity to come, after all, the opportunity is not to wait, but to take the initiative to seize it. It's just that I'm afraid I won't have to be asked.

Zhang thought silently for a while, raised his head and asked Qiao Yi softly: "Gardenia, I know that you have always had an idea, you can't remember this Xiao Chi, but your father and I, including Li'er and Liu'er, remember it very clearly." He has been away from home for several years, and I can't guarantee that he is still the same as the Xiao Chi we were familiar with before, so my mother wants to ask you? ”

Qiao Yi nodded lightly: "Okay, mother, what do you want to ask?" ”

Zhang nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, then my mother asks you, how does Xiao Chi look and dress?" ”

Qiao Yan said without thinking: "He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his facial features are Zhouzheng. Tall and muscular. Dark blue tunics, boots. Very neat and clean. ”

Zhang then asked, "How is his family?" ”

Qiao Yi thought for a moment and said, "There are some flowers and plants in the yard, and they are growing very well. The washed clothes are hanging on the ropes, and the yard is neatly arranged and clean. There is also a wooden stake in the courtyard, and it seems that he often practiced martial arts in the courtyard. The kitchen doesn't look like it's been used a few times, but things are neatly arranged. There was no dust on the tables in the hall, there was hot water, and everything else was in order. There is also a small study, he took me to find a lot of books for me to bring back to the fourth child, I took a look, they are all books on governing the country and talking about loyalty and filial piety. Most of the books in his study are like this, as well as some autobiographies of great men, poetry collections, and others are some atlases of martial arts, and there is no mess. ”

Qiao Yi tilted his head and thought again: "I've seen a few of his paintings and characters in it, and they are all very good." The wardrobe in his bedroom has no doors, and the clothes inside are neatly folded and clean. There are a few books on the head of the bed, one is the autobiography of the former prime minister, and the other two are about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and they are often flipped, and the bedding on the bed is stacked very neatly and cleanly. Hey, Qiao Liu, don't look at me, it's Brother Xiao who said that a few days ago he caught a talking starling in the yard and hung it in front of the window of his bedroom, and my father and I went to see it, but our father only cared about watching the starling, and I wasn't. ”
