Qiao Yi nodded reassuringly: "Okay, then I'll go back first." Slowly turned around, took two steps back and turned around, seeing that Lin Shi and Lin Yi were looking at her, a dimple appeared on Lin Yixiao's cheeks, Lin Shi smiled gently, Qiao Yi didn't say anything, and turned around and walked back home with a smile.

Lin Yi looked up at Lin Shi: "Big brother, does Sister Gardenia have anything to ask you?" She just looked back at you, a little weird. ”

Lin Shi smiled and nodded: "Maybe, she has something to ask me." ”

Qiao Yi went home and sat in front of the stove and boiled the pot, thinking about how to bring up Xiao Chi's matter later. Although Qiao Li, who was in charge, felt that Qiao Yi was a little strange, she didn't think much about it, stared at Qiao Yi for a few moments and then concentrated on cooking.

Qiao Yi couldn't help but scratch his hair, Lin Shi and Xiao Chi have a very good relationship, he can know Xiao Chi's residence through him, and then lead his father and mother to thank him for saving his sister, and he can also observe how his character is, if it is not good, his father and mother can naturally see some clues, if it is good, my sister will definitely pay attention to Xiao Chi at this age, and I will definitely think about it when I provoke a few words from it.

Qiao Yi nodded seriously, it seems that Lin Shi is the key, will he tell me easily?

Zhang interrupted Qiao Yi, who had long been distracted: "Gardenia, Gardenia, what are you thinking?" ”

Qiao Yi was changed back to his senses by the Zhang family, and shook his head with a smile: "It's nothing, mother, is there something wrong with you calling me?" ”

Zhang pointed to the sky outside the door and said: "The pot is cooked, the meals are all cleaned up, you look at the sky and the Lin family is estimated to be coming for a while, you go and find the clothes and shoes I made for Lin Yi, fold them on the bed, and bring them back at night." ”

"Okay, I'll go now." Qiao Yi put down the fire stick in his hand and responded, ran to Qiao Cheng and Zhang's house, took out the clothes that Lin Yi had made a few days ago, folded them neatly, closed the door and walked out.

As soon as he walked to the hall, he heard the voices of Lin Yi and Xiao Si, Qiao Yi smiled and walked out quickly: "Xiao Si is back, Xiao Yi is also here?" ”

Qiao Nan nodded and said obediently: "Well, I met Xiao Yi at the door just now, so the two of us came in together." ”

Lin Yi nodded vigorously in agreement: "Yes, didn't Sister Gardenia call me to eat today?" ”

Qiao Yi touched Lin Yi and Qiao Nan's heads and asked, "Xiao Yi, Uncle Lin, haven't they come yet?" ”

Lin Yi shook his little body: "I'm coming soon, I'll run over to play with you first." ”

Qiao Yi nodded his little nose and said, "I don't know you yet, you didn't come here at this time to play with Xiaosi, okay, you can go play first while you haven't eaten yet!" ”

Lin Yi cheered: "Thank you, Sister Gardenia, I like you the most, unlike Sister Liu'er, she just said that she wanted me to wash her vegetables, I went to play with Xiaosi." After saying goodbye to Qiao Liu, he took Xiao Siyi and ran to play under the acacia tree in the yard.

Qiao Yi smiled helplessly, and then Uncle Lin's voice came from outside the door: "Brother Qiao, why did you think of inviting our family to dinner today?" ”

Qiao Cheng heard it and walked over with a smile: "Isn't it like I have to invite your family to a meal to thank you for the last time!" ”

Uncle Lin shook his head disapprovingly: "Say thank you, it's too outward, is this what you can do to thank you?" ”

Qiao Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said: "Of course not, you don't care but we can't act as if nothing happened, thank you of course there is a thank you gift, but this thank you gift is the osmanthus wine brewed by the three girls of my family, this flower wine is fragrant, tonight, so that you can taste it." ”

Uncle Lin raised his head and laughed loudly: "Flower wine? Or did the three girls brew it themselves? Then I'll have to try it. ”

Qiao Cheng and Zhang smiled and sat down in front of the Lin family, and a few girls quickly brought the wine and food to the table, and the group also sat down.

Uncle Lin looked at the people sitting on the table and said to Qiao Cheng with a smile: "Brother, this person is all seated, can you take out the osmanthus wine for us to taste?" ”

Qiao Cheng got up with a smile: "Of course, I'll go and move the wine jar out." With that, he turned and went to carry the wine.

Qiao Cheng carried the wine jar back to the hall house, gently opened the wine seal on the wine jar, and the aroma of wine overflowed the whole room, Uncle Lin nodded with a smile: "Sure enough, good wine, this floral fragrance seeps into the wine and blends into one, just this taste is not ordinary!" ”

Zhang and Aunt Lin couldn't help laughing when they heard Uncle Lin's words, Qiao Cheng immediately filled two bowls for the two, Uncle Lin picked up the wine bowl and drank it, and when he put down the wine bowl, he couldn't help but speak, and kept chanting: "Good wine, good wine, these three girls, you are ingenious, come, give me another bowl." ”

Lin Shi also lifted his sleeves and picked up an empty bowl: "Uncle Qiao, give me a bowl too, this wine is indeed fragrant, I want to taste it too." ”

Qiao Cheng smiled and nodded: "That's natural, you can still drink less, just drink it tonight, and then move it back to a jar after drinking, it's all a thank you gift." ”

Uncle Lin laughed when he heard this: "This thank you gift is naturally wanted, even if you don't give it, I have to think of a way to get a jar back today!" ”

Several adults laughed again, and several children also bowed their heads and laughed along. Qiao Yi looked at Lin Shi a little absent-mindedly, he was slowly picking up the wine bowl and sipping the wine one by one, and his face showed a little comfort. He was dressed in a pale cyan robe, with a dark green belt around his waist and his hair was a mahogany hairpin, looking clean and far-reaching.

Lin Shi also seemed to notice Qiao Yi's gaze from time to time, put down the wine bowl in his hand and looked at Qiao Yi, nodded slightly and smiled handsomely.

Qiao Yi looked at the others, Uncle Lin and Qiao Cheng were drinking wine and laughing, Aunt Lin and Zhang were talking about something and pursed their lips and smiled from time to time, Qiao Li and Qiao Liu got together and chattered and laughed quietly, and even Xiao Si and Lin Yi were laughing and whispering about rice.

Qiao Yi nodded at Lin Shi, got up and walked out, and glanced back at Lin Shi when he stepped out of the threshold before walking out. It wasn't until Qiao Yan's figure disappeared into the limited light of the hall that Lin Shi picked up the wine bowl in front of him and drank it all, and then got up and followed out when everyone was not paying attention.

Lin Shi walked under the eaves, and sure enough, he saw Qiao Yi standing under the acacia tree, the moonlight hit her body a little unreal, she combed the double flat bun common to unmarried girls today, the double flat bun is a double hanging combing method, divide her hair equally with both sides, and then tie it into a ring, symmetrical and naturally flat. Hang on both sides.

There are two silk flowers on the head, and there is a pair of particularly eye-catching eyes on the small face, the eyes are clean and thorough like a pool of autumn water, the long eyelashes are black and curved with a pair of eyebrows, and the nose is straight and the mouth is also small. She wore a light purple gown with a pink midshirt lining at the neckline and cuffs, and a blue skirt with a loose hem that looked like a cheerful jump when she walked.

She stood under the lush green acacia trees in the moonlight, and he walked towards her step by step from the eaves.

Qiao Yan turned around to look at Lin Shi, who stopped beside him, and lowered his head and called, "Brother Lin." ”

Lin Shi nodded and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, Gardenia, you asked me out, but what's the matter?" ”

Qiao Yi bit his lip and looked at Lin Shi, he had thought about how he was going to open his mouth many times, and how he would open his mouth before Lin Shi would tell him Xiao Chi's residence. But now Lin Shi stood in front of him, looking at his eyebrows a little blurred under the shadow of the tree, but the smile when the corners of his mouth were raised was still so real, so real that Qiao Yi felt that he didn't need to beat around the bush, as long as he asked, he would definitely get the answer he wanted.

Qiao Yi raised his eyes and looked at Lin Shi seriously: "Brother Lin, I want to know, where Xiao Chi is now." ”

The smile on Lin Shi's face did not diminish at all: "You mean Xiao Chi, he is now working as an errand in the yamen of the county seat, and now he is already an errand envoy." ”

Qiao Yi's answer to Lin Shi was not surprised, but it made Lin Shi feel half surprised. Qiao Yan nodded: "I know this, I just want to ask you, do you know his residence?" ”

Lin Shi looked at Qiao Yan's eyes and nodded: "I know, you asked him where he lived, did you want Uncle Qiao and Aunt Qiao to thank him or did you want to see how he was and whether he matched your eldest sister?" Or, both? ”

Qiao Yi replied honestly: "I have both, maybe I can't see anything even if I see him, but I still feel that my heart will be more stable." ”

Lin Shi looked at the light spreading out of the room: "You should know that I am good friends with him." ”

Qiao Yi lowered his head and smiled: "Yes, I think that whoever can become good friends with you must have his excellence, but I want to ask you, do you think he is a good match for my eldest sister?" ”

Lin Shi looked at Qiao Yi's serious eyes for a long time before saying, "Yes, Xiao Chi is a good person and a good match for Qiao Li." ”

Qiao Yi laughed suddenly, raised his head and looked at Lin Shi seriously: "Brother Lin, I believe you." ”

Lin Shi laughed softly: "At No. 36, Baishou Lane, Wuqu Street, a cloud pine in the courtyard of the red and brown gate is Xiao Chi's house. ”

Qiao Yi nodded in thanks: "Thank you, Brother Lin." ”

Lin Shi shook his head and touched Qiao Yan's head: "Come in!" If you go in first, I'll go in later. ”

Qiao Yi nodded lightly: "Hmm." She knew what Lin Shi meant by this, so she obeyed and went back to the house first, until she walked under the eaves, she couldn't help but look back, only to see Lin Shi still standing under the acacia tree and looking at herself, smiling in the shadow of the dark tree, as when she first saw it.
