"Zhang San?" Li Qingyou looked at Patriarch Li suspiciously, he didn't understand what this Zhang San had to do with himself, but he felt a little familiar in a trance?

"That's right, Zhang Sipao is Zhang San's brother." Patriarch Li said with pride in his words, there is a kind of look, don't look at you in the city, but you don't have the superiority of my well-informed information.

Looking at Li Qingyou's blank face again, Patriarch Li was also stunned, "You...... Forgot? ”

Li Qingyou scratched her chin, this is her habit when she thinks about things, it's just this Zhang San......

"Ahh Li Qingyou suddenly slapped the table, startling Patriarch Li, and saw her eyes widen, "It's the Zhang San who hasn't come out of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month just after the New Year?" ”

That time, Zhang San and Qi Liu, a mountain bandit from Qingfeng Mountain, came to the house late at night, and were ...... by her No, it's just the person who Ah Di put down with a lotus donkey, and later reported to the official and arrested him.

It turned out that Zhang Sipao was Zhang San's brother, so it made sense.

"No wonder." Li Qingyou frowned and nodded, no wonder that day on Cross Street, Zhang Sipao wanted to find her trouble, originally she didn't know what the reason was, so it was.

"What?" Patriarch Li didn't know the inside story, so he looked at it suspiciously.

Li Qing hurriedly waved his hand, "It's nothing." ”

The matter has already passed, and there is no need to mention it again, let alone to unrelated people.

Patriarch Li didn't ask much, just at this time Xiaoshan Niang said that it was time to eat, and the two stood up.

Li Qingyou and Ah Di helped put the meal on the table, after all, Patriarch Li was an elder and a patriarch, so Li Qingyou asked him to sit in the first place, and he sat in the second seat, next to Ah Di, and then next to Xiao Shanniang and Liu Xiaosan.

Since everything that should have been said and what should not be said before has been almost said, Patriarch Li did not force an awkward conversation anymore, so he buried his head in eating, and the others also had nothing to say because of an extra stranger, so this meal was eaten very quickly.

After eating, it was not dark and the city gate was not closed, so Patriarch Li stood up and said goodbye.

Liu Xiaosan was also with Patriarch Li, and the two left the Li family.

Li Qingyou took out the account book and returned to Xili at this time, and Ah Di had already come back one step ahead of her, with half a brick still falling on his wrist, and he was sitting straight in front of the kang table and writing the "Three Character Classic" silently.

He couldn't get the "fixed money", and the shopkeeper Sun refused to copy the book to him, so he could only write the "Three Character Classic" silently, but fortunately, he was already familiar with it by heart, and he could write it almost without using his brain.

It's just that the handwriting must be correct, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to practice the handwriting in his left hand, so he fell a brick.

In this way, there is no way to write fast, and at his speed, he can only write one book after sitting at his desk all day.

Li Qingyou saw that Ah Di was so serious, so diligent, and so motivated, and when he looked at the copy of the account book in his hand, he was suddenly embarrassed to disturb him.

After looking at it like this for a while, Ah Di suddenly put down the pen and turned to look at Li Qingyou's hand, "What is this?" ”

"Ah, it's the books." Li Qingyou handed over the account book, wanting to let Ah Di see the contents on it, but he was not very embarrassed.

She is an older sister, and she has to ask her sister for help even to read an account book, which is a little difficult to get by.

Ah Di didn't think about it so much, he just flipped it over casually, "Five hundred buckets of yellow rock, ...... granite"

Ninety percent of Li Qingyou's previous heart became ten percent under the content that Ah Di casually read, and sure enough, she knew that Ah Di must know.

Ah Di looked at it twice and felt bored, there was nothing in it, it was nothing more than some daily accounts, and he was not interested in these.

"Why don't you read it?" Li Qingyou was listening carefully, and when she saw that her brother had stopped, she turned her head to look over, but she hadn't had time to find a pen and paper to write it down again.

Ah Di looked at Li Qingyou, and sighed silently in his heart, "Why don't I copy it again." ”

It's just a way to practice calligraphy.

In fact, the words on this ledger are not so difficult to recognize, but the writing is more sloppy, but for the brother who has learned these words since enlightenment, and has a father who is a military general, but he likes to dance and ink, and he also writes a hand of "wild grass", the words on it are still very easy to recognize.

But it may not be true for his Qingyou sister, otherwise he would not have been allowed to read it.

"You don't have to copy it, you just read it once." Li Qingyou thought about it, asked him to wait a while, found a pen and paper and recorded the information he heard according to his habits.

Fortunately, the account book is mainly based on numbers, and not the entire account book is recorded, what Patriarch Li took was only the part that Li Qingyou needed, and it took less than half an hour to memorize it.

Looking at the brand-new, self-explanatory account book in his hand, Li Qingyou nodded with satisfaction.

Ah Di also looked at it, these days under the teaching of his sister Qingyou, he has also learned Arabic numerals, it seems that it is easier to remember it like this?

Put away the copy of the rearranged account book, Li Qingyou sat next to him and watched Ah Di write, Ah Di wrote very seriously, and the whole person was invested in it, and there was a state of selflessness without distractions and excluding all external objects.

Li Qingyou likes this state very much, especially when his brother is so cute, so cute that Li Qingyou always can't help but want to touch his head, or hug it, or kiss it.

But she didn't move.

It's better not to disturb him when he is studying seriously.

Xiao Shanniang finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, wiped her hands on her apron and came to the door of the Xili room, and saw that the two were writing and painting under the lamp, so she didn't dare to disturb and went out.

Li Qingyou glanced at the door, and then saw that Ah Di was still writing with a serious face, put on his shoes and got off the kang and came to the hall, "Is there something wrong with my aunt?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Shanniang seemed to be taken aback, came back to her senses and nodded, "I just want to ask Xiao Shan when he will come back." ”

Zhao Xiaoshan has been out for two or three days, and her son has never left her side when he is so old, so she is not very relieved.

"That's it." Li Qingyou smiled and calculated the distance in his heart, "Tomorrow, it should be about the same, and the day after tomorrow at the latest." ”

Xiaoshan Niang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, the mother and son have been dependent on each other for more than ten years, and her son is her sustenance.

"Don't worry, it's not far from the Communist Party, and it will be fine." Li Qingyou also smiled.

Xiao Shanniang is a simple-minded person, knowing that her son will be fine and will be back soon, she yawned and went back to sleep in the east room.

Li Qingyou also went back to the house.

Early the next morning, Li Qingyou took Liu Xiaosan out to talk to Steward Cao about things as usual, and Ah Di also came out of the house with two stacks of manuscripts and went directly to the macro library.

When the shopkeeper Sun saw his brother, he was a little surprised, and that day he said that he would come the day after tomorrow, and he thought that the child couldn't come up with the money to deliberately make an excuse.

"Took money from home?" Shopkeeper Sun said with a smile......
