Chapter 44: The Cunning Little Fox
"Sister, isn't it afraid that he will take the money and break his promise?" On the way back, Ah Di asked Li Qingyou while eating osmanthus candy while raising his head.
He felt that Sister Qingyou's kindness was too much, and he must know that people's hearts are unpredictable.
Li Qingyou smiled: "He cried so sadly, it doesn't look like a fake, if fifty yuan can save his mother's life, isn't it also a merit?" ”
Anyway, she lived to be twenty-eight years old in her previous life, and she still has a certain vision for self-confidence, and the other party is just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, even if she is a little careful, she can see it clearly.
And it turns out that Li Qingyou's vision is still good, and the next day the little apprentice came to the door, his name is Zhao Xiaoshan, and he is thirteen years old like Li Qingyou, and he lives in the south of the city.
"My master has to take a nap for an hour every day at noon, and he has to serve my mother's decoction in the morning and evening, so I will go at this time." This is the time he said yesterday.
This time, he brought his own planer and tools, and compared them on the mold prepared by Li Qingyou, which looked really like that.
It is probably the first time to "pick up the work alone", Zhao Xiaoshan is very serious at every step, and he has to hang the wire at least three times alone.
Ah Di, who was watching, pouted, "Can you do it?" ”
This board is not cheap.
Zhao Xiaoshan said seriously: "I can't make a mistake. ”
After speaking, he carefully gestured on the board.
Although I don't know if he really can do it, but this attitude is worthy of praise, at most it is a waste of a plank, Li Qingyou also relieved himself after watching it, turned around and continued to work on something else.
However, Ah Di seemed to be very interested in carpenter work, and he spent the whole afternoon with Zhao Xiaoshan, until Li Qingyou asked the two of them to eat before entering the house.
At first, Zhao Xiaoshan was embarrassed to eat it, but it wasn't until Li Qingyou stuffed a multigrain dumpling into his hand that he ate it in a big gulp, looking at him like he hadn't eaten for three days.
"Your master doesn't care about cooking?" After Li Qingyou finished speaking, he felt that this was nonsense.
Teenage children are able to eat, even her meal is not small, especially Ah Di's food is larger, multigrain dumplings can eat three at a meal, several times she is afraid that he will eat too much and let him eat less.
However, he has been getting taller lately, and his complexion is also very good.
"The master doesn't care about the food." Zhao Xiaoshan said seriously: "The apprentice is in charge of food and housing, I am an apprentice, I have to go home in the morning and evening, and I only go to the apprentice during the day." ”
Even during the day, you should take care of a lunch.
"Your master is really slamming the door." Li Qingyou pouted, this is really free labor, and even food has been saved.
Zhao Xiaoshan pursed his lips and snorted for a long time before he said, "Actually...... The master treats me well, very well. ”
Okay, you still beat him to death, and you don't care about food?
Ah Di snorted, "Elm head." ”
Li Qingyou poked his forehead, "Don't talk nonsense, people respect teachers." ”
Well, although she also thinks it's a little stupid.
Although Ah Di was disdainful in his heart, he still smiled obediently when facing Li Qingyou, "My sister is right." ”
As soon as he was like this, Li Qingyou lost his temper, gave him a chopstick dish, and asked him to eat more with a smile.
Zhao Xiaoshan watched the interaction between the two, his eyes were full of envy.
He also wanted such a sister, and he also wanted to call Li Qingyou his sister, but he didn't dare, just now his brother and sister threatened not to let him call the Li family's sister sister, saying that it was only she who could call it.
"I'm full, you eat slowly, I'll work first." Zhao Xiaoshan put down his chopsticks.
Li Qingyou saw that he only ate one multigrain dumpling, and wondered how much this kid ate, but the amount of food was not large.
In fact, he didn't eat enough, but he didn't dare to eat anymore, for fear of being disliked.
After eating, when Li Qingyou went to feed the pigs, he heard Zhao Xiaoshan talking to his brother, "Last night, the master's family didn't know why they recruited so many rats, and knocked down a cabinet that my master had made before, and my master jumped to his feet and scolded all morning......
"And you still have time?" Li Qingyou put down the spoon that stirred the pig food and turned to look at Zhao Xiaoshan.
According to what he said before, most of his master's work was entrusted to him to do, how could he still come here with such a big mistake now?
"Oh, my master is very angry, as a result, I drank too much, and I forgot about the cabinet, forgot about it, ......forgot about it," Zhao Xiaoshan lowered his head and said sneeringly, in fact, he didn't tell the truth, the master had instructed him to repair the cabinet again before he got drunk.
But he sneaked out anyway.
The sister of the Li family looked up to him so much, and gave him silver money to catch medicine for his mother, he couldn't let people down.
"Your master is really ......" Li Qingyou wanted to say that his master was an alcoholic, but thinking that this kid was quite protective of his master, he changed his words when he came to his mouth, "I love to drink." ”
Zhao Xiaoshan nodded seriously, "Well, the master has to drink every meal every day, and he said that the thread that hangs without drinking is crooked......"
Li Qingyou sneered, but she felt that Carpenter Zhang's hanging thread was even more crooked after drinking.
The two chatted with Carpenter Zhang, no one noticed Ah Di's silence, he lowered his head, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, at this time he was no longer a soft and cute little milk dog, but a cunning little fox.
In the dead of night, my brother, who was supposed to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
Looking at Li Qingyou, who was sleeping next to him, he quietly lifted the quilt and went to the ground, changed his clothes and went to the stove, took out the leftover grains and dumplings from the night, and tiptoed out of the house and went straight to South Street.
The scraps of miscellaneous grains and dumplings at the gate of Zhang's carpenter's house were sprinkled on the ground, looking at the rats pouring around, the corners of Ah Di's mouth hooked up an oblique arc, and he threw a handful of them through the courtyard wall to the cabinet where he was placed.
Seeing the rats rushing over and patting the residue on his hands, Ah Di stood up, turned around, and disappeared into the night......
After a while, when Li Qingyou was cooking in the morning, he found that there were a few less grains and dumplings.
"Xu is my sister's mistake, right?" Ah Di frowned, as if he didn't care, but he secretly looked in the direction of Li Qingyou.
Li Qingyou firmly denied it, "Impossible, I counted it last night." ”
A science student is the most sensitive to numbers, and she can't be mistaken.
"That'...... Could it be that it was stolen by rats? Ah Di tried his best to hide his weakness, and did not forget to give an example, "Didn't the painting hanging on the wall that day also be knocked by a mouse?" ”
This makes some sense, Li Qingyou touched his chin and wondered if it was time to buy some rat medicine tomorrow?
But for fear of being eaten by the chickens at home, it's better to catch a cat and come back.
Ah Di wants to stop taking multigrain dumplings tonight, there are soybeans and other grains at home, these are of the same origin as multigrain dumplings, and they are estimated to be loved by rats.
That's it.
For several days in a row, Ah Di led the army of rats to such a group every night, and Carpenter Zhang noticed that something was wrong no matter how slow he was, and finally he was arrested that night......
