Chapter 40: Scars
After a busy tossing and turning in the morning, the meal was finally served, a little later than usual, Qingquan thought that Mrs. Shi would scold, but she didn't expect that although she kept pulling her face at the dinner table, she didn't say anything unpleasant.
As for the stewed tofu, Qingquan was originally divided into two bowls, one bowl of tofu was placed on the man's table, and the remaining bowl of soup was placed on the woman's table.
Thinking that the women in the family have not tasted the taste of food for so long, I took this opportunity to give everyone a fragrant mouth.
As a result, when Mrs. Shi divided the rice, she first picked up two mouthfuls of tofu for Shi Dahua and put them in the bowl, and then she picked up two more pieces herself, and put away the remaining bowl of tofu when she was done.
Just put it away in front of everyone's eyes, even Yang's eyes when she looked at the bowl that was about to burn, she took it as a blind eye, and put it away with a calm face!
Qingquan was depressed, but it was just a few pieces of tofu, which was worth a few copper plates, not to mention the ten taels of silver that her husband paid last month, and she just paid two taels of silver, eating a few pieces of tofu is always enough!
Besides, after doing everything and serving the table, Qingquan has a new understanding of Mrs. Shi's slamming degree! I knew that I would feed Jing'er a few more bites in the kitchen, but the girl was embarrassed, when Qingquan gave it to her, she only ate a piece and didn't want it!
Since Qingquan knew the approximate amount of money that Shi Zhijian had paid to the family, she probably counted it, this family would not be so poor, but seeing that the women and children in the family were so poorly fed and clothed, she didn't know what Mrs. Shi was planning!
Although I didn't eat tofu, the porridge that Mrs. Shi gave to Qingquan and Jing'er today was much thicker than before, and even the two of them shared a black flour cake, although it was the smallest one, but this was the first time that Qingquan had received dry food from Mrs. Shi!
She knew that it was all because her husband came home, and Mrs. Shi did it for Shi Zhijian.
On the contrary, the food shared by Zheng and Shi Xin's mother and daughter is worse than in the past, Zheng only got a porridge at the bottom of a bowl, and Shi Xin didn't get anything, it seems that Mrs. Shi is going to starve her!
Qingquan knew that this was because the Zheng mother and daughter had violated Mrs. Shi's will and helped her cook in the morning, which was Mrs. Shi's punishment for their mother and daughter!
Things started because of her, seeing Shi Xin's small body shrinking in the corner and not daring to look up, it made people unbearable, so Qingquan picked up the bowl and divided half of his porridge with Shi Xin, and the black flour cake was also broken in half for her.
Shi Xin looked at the things in front of her, there was brilliance in her eyes but she didn't dare to take it, and in the end, Zheng whispered with red circles in her eyes and said let's eat, she took the thing, like a frightened little beast, turned around and ate silently.
Seeing this, Mrs. Shi snorted coldly, but she didn't speak, but everyone at the table could see that she was in a bad mood, and the people who ate a meal were very depressed!
After the meal, the women of the family all came to help Qingquan clean up, and even Xiao Zhang's family brought Shi Zhixue to take a hand, except for Shi Dahua and Yang's of course.
Shi Dahua, the rough work in the family, has never interfered, since she decided to marry the Qi family a few years ago, Mrs. Shi has raised her like a young grandmother in the city.
Yang is holding the eldest aunt's shelf, and she doesn't deal with Qingquan, although she didn't say anything today, but from her sneering and wonderful expression, Qingquan also read a lot of content.
Qingquan believes that if Shi Zhijian hadn't come back today, the Yang family would have been jealous of this second nephew, otherwise she would never have been able to stop!
There is a lot of strength in numbers, and after a while, the housework will be cleaned up, and Qingquan can finally go back to the house.
The busyness of the morning made Qingquan distracted, and at this moment she calmed down, thinking that she would be alone with Brother Shi soon, Qingquan's heart was full of inexplicable complicated feelings, which made her whole person fluttering, and she didn't know how to do it!
Those who come and go back and forth in their hearts will only chant those few words, "Brother Stone, Brother Stone, find Brother Stone!" ”
Gently pushed open the door, but unprepared to see a sturdy, male bare/exposed back, Qingquan was dumbfounded, I don't know whether to advance or retreat!
Shi Zhijian heard the movement, turned around suddenly, and saw Qingquan standing at the door, his wheat-colored face was suddenly dyed with a hint of redness, "Qing, Qingqing, I, I'll change my clothes!" ”
Qingquan cried all of a sudden, tears dripping silently from his eyes, and he couldn't stop it.
Shi Zhijian thought that he had made Qingqing cry, and he was at a loss again, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Qing, Qingqing, don't cry, I won't change, don't cry!" ”
Qingquan cried even more, she stepped forward and reached out to touch Shi Zhijian's chest, where there was a hideous scar, red and deep and long, and the centrifugal mouth was only two fingers away.
Then she gently stroked his arms, as well as his naked/exposed upper body, which should have been smooth and flat skin, but the touch under his hands was a little uneven, because there were several deep and shallow scars on them!
Touching the largest scar again, the closest to the chest, there was only two fingers away from the chest, if it was a little bit more off, the consequences Qingquan didn't dare to imagine, she choked and asked softly, "Does it hurt?" ”
"No, it doesn't hurt, it's already fine!" Shi Zhijian comforted, and said with some annoyance, "I scared you, Qingqing!" ”
Qingquan didn't answer, just leaned her face on this chest, trembling all over, she was afraid, deeply afraid!
When she saw these scars on Brother Shi's body, especially when the centrifugal mouth was so close, she could think that this was all because Brother Shi had brushed shoulders with death again and again.
The scene of losing Brother Shi in her previous life hit her like a huge nightmare, she never dared to think about it in the reincarnation of the two lives, she didn't dare to touch it, and now it was so suffocating, she was really afraid!
Qingquan stretched out her hand and hugged the man in front of her, she finally found Brother Shi, she couldn't bear the sorrow of losing him anymore, even if it was just an idea!
"Brother Shi, don't go, don't go to the bodyguard, don't leave my side again!" Qingquan was afraid, muttering out, she didn't want him to be in any more danger!
Shi Zhijian is not Shi Yi, he has no memory of his previous life, so he doesn't know Qingquan's fear, he only thinks that the girl was frightened by the scar on his body, Wen Yan gently stroked the girl's back with one hand and comforted: "Qingqing is not afraid, this is all in the past, I am very powerful now, and I will not let myself be hurt again!" ”
He really wanted to promise Qingqing not to leave, not to leave her, how he didn't want to leave her!
But he can't, he wants his women to live a good life, and he wants Qingqing to live a carefree life in the future, so he has to leave this home to fight and struggle!
The thick palm caressed her back, and the sound of "Qingqing" in her mouth made Qingquan feel as if she had returned to the past, back to the time when they were together in modern times, when she leaned on his arms, she was so secure.
