"What?" Xiao Chi's face was full of shock, leaning forward and supporting the table with both hands, and asked anxiously: "Then, then they won't think that you are the one who is in love with Li'er, right?" ”

Lin Shi just shook his head lightly and smiled without saying a word.

Shen Mo twitched his eyebrows at this time, hooked the corners of his lips and opened his mouth leisurely: "Maybe, think about it, they saw the handsome son of the neighbor to meet their sister and the two under the tree, and Lin Shi gave her something again, maybe these three young ladies will think, hey, could it be a hairpin inside?" Or is it veneer? ”

Xiao Chi frowned and sat back a little sluggishly: "Won't it?" He asked the uneasy Shen Mo again, "Then what will happen if they suspect that it is Lin Shi?" ”

Shen Mo leaned back on the dark table, stared at the nervous Xiao Chi and said half-truthfully: "There are a lot of possibilities!" It is possible that they think that Lin Shi is a good son, and he is a good match for his eldest sister, and then use every opportunity to match them and say good things about him in front of his parents. ”

Looking at Xiao Chi, whose face was almost a vegetable, Shen Mo continued: "As for the other one! It is possible that they felt that Lin Shi was not a good person, and then desperately broke them up, saying that he had shortcomings in front of his parents......"

"Wait, wait, wait" Xiao Chi interrupted Shen Mo's words: "You know what you said at this glance, it must be the first possibility, Lin Shi, can you still not know?" He is the same in front of everyone, a good man. Especially in the eyes of the Qiao family, the uncle and aunt don't know how grateful they are to him! ”

Xiao Chi, who looked awkward and helpless, smiled at Shen Mo. Lin Shi had no choice but to open his mouth to appease the worried friend who was picked by Shen Mo: "You, just listen to Shen Mo, you don't have to worry about what he said, maybe they did think that the person who contacted Miss Qiao was me, but, with Miss Qiao San's intelligence, it will not be difficult to find some clues in the future, once she finds the slightest suspicion, the possibility of me contacting Miss Qiao will soon be overturned by her, so." ”

Lin Shi's gaze fell on Xiao Chi's face, and Xiao Chi was a little confused: "So what?" ”

"So what?" Shen Mo opened his mouth on the side: "So what are you worried about, didn't you say that Qiao Yi and you have known each other since childhood?" Then there's a good chance she'll help you. ”

Xiao Chi hesitated a little at this time: "However, she was still young at that time, so she shouldn't have a profound impact on me, this is a lifelong event related to Li'er, I don't think she will be easy to be sloppy." ”

Lin Shi shook his head with some disagreement: "Not necessarily, Miss Qiao's age is not young, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people who come to the door to say goodbye these days, compared to those people, Qiao Yi will trust you more." ”

"Why? Because we have known each other since childhood? Xiao Chi asked with some confusion.

Lin Shi showed a smile and filled himself with a cup of tea: "Of course not, not to mention that she was too young at that time, and there is little possibility of remembering the events of her childhood, just if you are away from home for a few years, she is likely to have doubts about you who have been away for a long time, and wonder if your essence has changed in the filth of the outside world." ”

Xiao Chi said anxiously: "I haven't changed!" ”

Shen Mo sneered: "Of course we know, but the third miss doesn't know, she hasn't seen you, even if Miss Qiao is a guarantor, her trust in you will not rise, because she feels that Miss Qiao is not deeply involved in the world, and it is very likely that she will be deceived by your words, so she will not give you a high opinion in her heart before she meets you." ”

Lin Shi nodded in agreement: "It's indeed as Shen Mo said, but you saved Qiao Li before, and you didn't forget the old feelings for her, these will make Qiao Yi's heart change her opinion of you, so I will say that she believes in you more than those who come to ask for marriage." ”

Xiao Chi nodded, thought for a while, and opened his mouth with some doubts: "However, how old is the third girl this year, how could she think of so much?" ”

Lin Shi's gaze carefully swept over the patterns on the red vein cup: "Because her heart is different from theirs." ”

Xiao Chi looked at Lin Shi a little dazed: "No, what kind of heart is different, I really don't understand what you mean, hey, Shen Mo, do you know?" ”

Shen Mo just looked out the window and thanked the acacia full of trees and flowers, and only after a while did he speak: "I know, I always know." "Because I know, a lot of times, I don't know what to do.

Xiao Chi looked at this and then at that: "Okay, I don't understand what you mean, but, Lin Shi, you have time to say something good to me, isn't your family a neighbor with the Qiao family?" I helped them a lot last time, and they all called you Brother Lin, I think I have a good impression of you, right? ”

Lin Shi listened to it and said casually: "Yes, the Qiao family has a good relationship with my family, last time Qiao Yan disappeared, our family did their best, and Qiao Yi is still quite grateful to me." I'll find the right time to help you, anyway, I'm still their big brother Lin. ”

Shen Mo glanced at Lin Shi when he heard this, and a "hum" came out of his nose coldly.

Xiao Chi pointed at Shen Mo at Lin Shi with a confused face, and asked with a full face: Which sentence did we say to provoke him?

And Lin Shi just put down the cup in his hand, and smiled lightly.

After dinner, after Qiao Yi checked Xiao Si's homework, he quickly finished washing, then got into the quilt, turned over, and faced the wall, but began to think slowly in his heart.

Indeed, as Shen Mo's Lin Shi guessed, Qiao Yi couldn't completely let go of his heart and trusted Xiao Chi 100%. Although, the sadness and regret in the words of the uncle and parents all show the good qualities of the former youth. But he has been alone for several years, baptized by a more filthy world, and Qiao Yi is always worried that the young man with a simple and warm smile will merge with those rabble in this smoky world.

Perhaps, I should go to see him, I can't be sure if he is the eldest sister's lover, but how can I meet him? That's right,—— Lin Shi.

Qiao Yi, who found the breakthrough of the problem, hooked the corners of his lips with satisfaction, how could he almost forget Lin Shi, the key person, since he can help Xiao Chi deliver things, he must have a lot to do with Xiao Chi, in that case, isn't it easy to know where Xiao Chi is?

"What are you thinking?" Suddenly a voice came out and startled Qiao Yan, and when he looked at it, it turned out that Qiao Liu had finished washing up and was about to fall asleep at some point, and saw Qiao Yan facing the wall with his eyes open and not saying a word, so he asked.

Qiao Yi turned over and lay on his back: "No, what can I think?" I'm just thinking about the homework of the junior four. ”

Qiao Liu lifted the quilt and lay on Qiao Yi's side: "Are you tired of checking Xiaosi's homework every day?" I'm looking at him with the big books that are big things, and I can't read them anyway, and it's only you, and no one in our family checked his homework before. ”

Qiao Yi looked at the oil lamp on the table reflected on the wall, and the candlelight jumped: "It's because no one checked his homework before, and now there is no one, so I stood up and stared at him!" ”

"Okay" Qiao Liu said helplessly: "When no one showed him before, his homework was still done in the school, besides, can you really understand?" I flipped through the books of Primary 4 a few times and found that I only knew the words, not the meaning. ”

Qiao Yi couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "Yes, it's great to be able to read all the words." Now Xiao Si is the best, but he can't be complacent, but yes, he is indeed not complacent, if he wants to be admitted to the list in the future, so many people, his best will become the worst at any time, maybe he is the best here, but there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, and he really can't help but be serious. ”

"It's too" Qiao Liu thought for a while and nodded: "However, in our village, there are really few families like our family, where several children are literate." Most families will let their sons go to school to study, but their daughters are not so good, they usually only know a few words, which is very rare in our family. ”

Qiao Yi nodded, suddenly remembered, and changed his words: "By the way, second sister, I want to ask you, do you remember the Xiao Chi that our uncle mentioned?" ”

Qiao Liu laughed: "Of course, how could I not remember. After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Qiao Yi, and asked, "Third sister, you probably forgot, right?" It's no wonder that you were too young to run. ”

Qiao Yi also laughed: "Then can you tell me about it?" I want to hear it. ”

Qiao Liu kicked his feet: "Okay, you forgot it, and you heard your uncle mention it again, so you're very curious to know, right?" As for me, although I was not very old at that time, I still remember some of it, because at that time, we often went to my uncle's house, so it was often Brother Xiao who took us to play together. ”

Qiao Liu said and looked at Qiao Yan and laughed: "At that time, you were too young, we often went to the hillside to play, pounced on the ground to catch crickets, catch grasshoppers, climb to the trees to pick fruits, dig birds' nests, pick flowers in the flowers, flutter butterflies, and play house." At that time, Brother Xiao took us to play, you are small and always can't catch up with us, for a period of time, Brother Xiao carried you every day, everywhere, only in this way you will not be unable to keep up. Aunt Xiao told him to take care of us every time, and every time she ran to Aunt Xiao's house when she was tired of playing, Aunt Xiao always prepared food and mung bean porridge to make, and washed our hands and faces next to each other to coax us to eat. Uncle Xiao picked fruits on our backs, caught rabbits from the foot of the mountain for us, and brought pastries from the market for us to ......"

Qiao Liu didn't say any more, Qiao Yan heard her crying, she buried her face in the quilt, whimpered and cried, she cried and tried to say something, but those words were all wet on the quilt.

Later, Qiao Yi didn't hear it, because she also cried, and the tears slipped down and fell into the pillow, which made Qiao Yan's dream that night also filled with a bitter salty taste.
