Chapter 22: Handicap

Brother is from a noble background, although he is not treated by his father, but he is also the master, but he has not suffered the slightest grievance in food, clothing, housing and transportation, so he is also more picky about food.

This will eat the sugar vegetable buns made by Li Qingyou, and the expression is simply indescribable.

The reason why it is called sugar vegetable buns is because the skin of the buns is sweet, because Li Qingyou forgot to pick out the sugar before, and the filling inside is salty. There is also the fact that the bun skin is a bit hard, this is because it is not the relationship between the dough.

He can't boast about the deliciousness of his words against his will.

Looking at Sister Qingyou eating steamed buns with an indifferent face, Ah Di was simply amazed.

"Is it delicious, sister?" Ah Di looked at Li Qingyou's expression carefully, and saw her nodding.

"Okay." Li Qingyou didn't notice what she was eating at all, so she was still struggling with Zhang Tieniu's affairs.

Brother, "......"

I remembered that my father used to say how difficult it was to swallow the food when I was poor when I was young, probably like this, after all, it can't be compared with the things cooked by the cook in the house, and I don't feel so unacceptable when I think about it.

Li Qingyou struggled with the time of a meal and didn't understand how to face Zhang Tieniu, and remembered the old guy who took her money but lost his trust, and muttered hatefully, "This old liar." ”

Ah Di looked at it confusedly, Li Qing hurriedly pulled out a smile and rubbed the miscellaneous hair on his head, "It's okay, eat quickly." ”

It seems that the person broke her money and ran away, so she can only find someone else, but she doesn't have any money in her hand, and she is worried when she thinks about it.

Fortunately, you can sell tofu after tonight, and you should be able to make it up for a few days.

The meal ended in silence, and Li Qingyou remembered that today was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and since he couldn't go out to see the lanterns, it was okay to take a look at them at home.

"Brother, you go wash the dishes, and my sister will find you something good." Li Qingyou said and went back to Xili, rummaged in his cabinet, and found a slightly deformed lantern.

This was bought for her by Mrs. Li on the fifteenth day of the first month of last year, and she was reluctant to throw it away after that, so she put it away carefully.

lit the small half of the remaining candle in the lantern, and Li Qing brought it to his brother beautifully, "Is it good-looking?" ”

Ah Di blinked his eyes wide and nodded vigorously, "It's good-looking, this boat light is so beautiful." ”

"......," the corners of Li Qingyou's mouth twitched, "This is a lotus lamp." ”

Brother scratched his head, okay.

Usually the lanterns have to be hung under the eaves, but fortunately, it will be completely dark at this time, and most people will go to the street to see the lanterns tonight, so Li Qingyou thought about it and asked Ah Di to come out and hang the lanterns.

The eaves have a certain height, Li Qingyou moved a stool out, stood on it and hung it on the eaves, and Ah Di commanded below, "It's crooked, a little further to the left." ”

The ground at the door was uneven, and Li Qingyou stood on the stool and staggered, trying his best to stand on tiptoe and want to hang the lantern, "This way?" ”

Without waiting for Ah Di to answer, an exclamation suddenly sounded at the door, which frightened Li Qingyou's feet and fell straight down.

Ah Di was anxious to pick her up, but was pushed away by Li Qingyou, and said quickly in a low voice: "Come in." ”

Ah Di was pushed on his heels, just fell into the door, and then looked at the figure running in the dark, angrily and helplessly got up and ran into the west.

There was a grunt at the courtyard wall at the door, and a person jumped in over the wall, and quickly ran to Li Qingyou to help her up, "Sister Qingyou, what's wrong with you, didn't you break it?" ”

As she spoke, she looked Li Qingyou up and down, left and right, and her big fan-like hands were pulling on her.

It was Zhang Tieniu who came, he was pulled by Qin Xiu to find a purse before, where to find it in the crowded streets?

He was impatient with Qin Xiu's noisy endlessly, and just happened to see Shen Si, who was also in the yamen, so he handed Qin Xiu over to him, and he ran back while there were many people.

As soon as she walked to the door of Li's house, she saw Li Qingyou standing on the stool and was about to fall down at any time, so she shouted out in a hurry to be careful of her step, but she didn't expect to cause her to fall.

Li Qingyou secretly rolled his eyes and slapped his hand away angrily.

Zhang Tieniu also sensed that something was wrong, and made a big red face, withdrew his hand in a daze, and scratched his head, "That...... Why don't you find a Lang Zhong and take a look? ”

"It's okay, just fell a little, just rub some medicinal wine later." Li Qingyou rubbed his sore back and asked him why he came, and at the same time secretly drummed in his heart, I don't know if he saw his brother?

Zhang Tieniu didn't notice anything else, his attention was on her, and he saw the broken lotus lamp on the ground, annoyed and blamed himself.

Ah Di ran to the door of the Xili room and suddenly stopped, the room was lit up, but the quilt had not yet hung on the window, and the shadow inside could be seen from the outside.

With a turn of his heel, he ran to the east, but accidentally tripped over the threshold and fell, although the sound was not loud, but it aroused Zhang Tieniu's vigilance, "Who?" ”

He was about to rush in with his hand on the handle of the knife, but was stopped by Li Qingyou, "If there is anyone, it must be a rat." ”

Seeing Zhang Tieniu's hesitation, she hurriedly pointed to the octagonal lamp he was holding in his other hand, "This was bought on the street?" It's beautiful. ”

Zhang Tieniu remembered the purpose of this time, and handed her the octagonal lamp, "I saw that this lamp is very good-looking, and I guess you can be rare, so I bought it." By the way, there's also this one, your favorite food. ”

As he spoke, he took out a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts from his arms, "Here, it's still hot." ”

He was deliberately afraid of the cold in his arms, his chest was hot and a little painful, but his heart was extremely ironed.

Li Qingyou took it and thanked him, and just wanted him to help hang up the lamp, but saw that Zhang Tieniu was about to break in again.

"Sister Qingyou, you live alone, what can you do if there are bad people?" Looking at Li Qingyou who was blocking in front, Zhang Tieniu was anxious, "I'll go in and take a look, just take a look, or I'm not at ease." ”

Did you really let him in?

Li Qingyou was also anxious, "What do you mean?" Isn't it like those people, who think I'm ...... I'm hiding someone in the house? ”

"I, I'm not...... How can I ...... Ah. Zhang Tieniu was speechless, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, wanting to break in but not daring, staring at the two big eyes like copper bells were about to erupt into flames.

Such a stalemate is not the way to go.

"Or ......" Li Qingyou pursed his lips, "You wait here, I'll go in and take a look by myself, and I'll call you if something happens." ”

Where's the time?

Zhang Tieniu was reluctant but helpless, so he could only watch Li Qingyou enter the house, holding the knife handle and ready to rush in at any time, until Li Qingyou came out and said that there was no one, so he had to stop and help hang the lantern.

Facing a young woman living alone, and at night, Zhang Tieniu is not good at entering the house as a foreign man, let alone staying for a long time, but he is reluctant to leave like this, so he can only make hollow thought excuses.

He really came up with a ......
