Chapter Twenty-Four: Men's Clothing
It wasn't my biggest sentence that moved the family, but Qi Jiuli wanted to go out and have a look, Qi Qizhu thought that she had experienced something like that, and it would be good to go to the town to relax.
"But my sister is going alone, I don't worry." Although Qi Shixiang was only ten years old, her words were like a mother hen, and Qi Jiuli was helpless and moved.
"But it's not possible to leave Eleven at home." Qi Jiuli said, just now when she talked about going to town, Qi Shiyi's eyes flashed with expectation, and she could see it, "Why don't we all go?" Anyway, the uncle borrowed a donkey cart, and the opportunity was rare. ”
Qi Jiuli looked at Qi Qizhu and asked, after all, he was the biggest in the family, Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi also looked at Qi Qizhu in unison, Qi Qizhu smiled and nodded, "Then let's go, but you must not run around, you have to follow the uncle." ”
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely take a good look at the two sisters." Qi Shiyi said very manly, but his voice was still immature, but it still made Qi Jiuli feel comprehensible.
was busy until a moment in the morning, Qi Jiuli got up and stretched, rubbed his neck and back, I was so tired all day, I stayed in the house at night to dry charcoal, I felt a little sweaty, anyway, there was a lot of boiling water, and I added some freshly boiled water, Qi Jiuli wiped his body before lying down, and Qi Shixiang also wiped it together, not to mention that it was really comfortable to fall asleep like this.
On the first day of the second month, Qi Jiuli was shaken awake.
"Sister, it's time to get up." Qi Shixiang whispered softly on the side, his voice was gentle, but the strength of the hand on his shoulder was not small, Qi Jiuli secretly thought after he woke up.
Qi Jiuli washed up, drank a bowl of hot cornmeal batter, and then ate a big steamed bun left over from yesterday, this breakfast is real.
After happily eating, Qi Jiuli made a decision, "Ming'er will start making breakfast for me." ”
I heard Qi Shixiang say that it was made by Qi Qizhu at breakfast today, Qi Jiuli was a little embarrassed, she seemed to be eating for nothing, she didn't like this situation, there was no way, she was thin-skinned.
"Sister, what's the hurry, recuperate for a few more days." Qi Shixiang replied, after all, she got up every day in the past two days, Qi Jiuli slept soundly, and she washed up today, and after breakfast, she saw that the time was not early, so she cruelly called her up.
Qi Jiuli was already in good health, but she was tired in the past two days, Qi Shixiang didn't want her to get sick again, and she didn't have to lose her foundation.
"Second sister, my brother doesn't take food." Qi Shiyi ran into the kitchen and said eagerly.
Qi Shixiang was busy going out when he heard this, but as soon as he arrived at the door, Qi Qizhu came in, and Qi Shixiang stopped, "Brother, I left the grain in the cellar early in the morning, and we also kept what we wanted to eat, and the rest was to be brought to you to the private school." ”
"I don't live in a private school, and I don't need to eat in a private school, so where do I need to bring food." Qi Qizhu said as a matter of course.
"Brother, it's very hard to study, and I eat some thin food at home, where can I suffer, I know that the young masters of those big families in the town go to private schools to study, and they eat three meals a day." Qi Shixiang's mouth opened and closed neatly and said, "We don't compare with others, let's talk about it, brother, even if you don't live in a private school, you can go back and forth twice a day, and if you don't eat some mats in advance, we will be worried, we won't be hungry and faint halfway, what can we do." ”
Qi Shixiang is like a mother hen with red eyes, Qi Jiuli is a little funny, but more of a sadness after listening to her words, hey, they are all poor.
Zhili famously said, money is not everything, no money is everything, the road ahead is long, Qi Jiuli made up his mind, go to the town today to see if there is any way to make money.
"Brother, do you have any clothes to borrow from me?" Thinking like this, Qi Jiuli looked at Qi Qizhu and asked, after all, it is ancient, and it is convenient to shuttle through the market or men's clothing.
Because of Qi Jiuli's interruption, the atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed.
"You're going to go to town in my clothes?" Qi Qizhu asked suspiciously.
"Well, it's more convenient." Qi Jiuli nodded.
Qi Qizhu thought about it carefully and felt that Qi Jiuli was very right, after all, she had just withdrawn from her family, but this proposal was somewhat shocking, but after looking at Qi Jiuli's smiling eyes, Qi Qizhu motioned for Qi Jiuli to follow.
Qi Jiuli walked into Qi Qizhu's room, the layout was the same as his own room, but there was an extra bookshelf, a desk and a chair, as well as pen, ink, paper and inkstone needed for reading, and the rest was no different.
However, what attracted Qi Jiuli's eyes the most was the books on the shelves, and after seeing the name of the book, Qi Jiuli was not interested, because they were all books like the Four Books and the Five Classics, which were the most boring.
Qi Qizhu noticed Qi Jiuli's sight, she looked at the bookshelf for a long time, her eldest sister has always been studious, Qi Qizhu also taught her a lot of words before, almost a few days later, when she asked again, she remembered it, and then she wanted to read her books, but was refused.
"Jiuli, the door of my house is always open, and I won't take all these books to the private school, usually I bring what books I have in class, if you want to read books, just come to my brother's house to read." Qi Qizhu took the clothes from the box and said as he took them.
Qi Jiuli didn't pay much attention, so he simply responded, Qi Qizhu heard such a perfunctory tone, and sighed, "Jiuli, although the book is precious, the book is for people to read, and it won't be bad if you look at it, don't be so cautious, you don't even dare to touch it." ”
Qi Qizhu picked up a set of jackets, handed it to Qi Jiuli and said, "I taught you to recognize words before, it's better for you to familiarize yourself with and review it, otherwise you will forget, and your previous efforts will not be in vain." ”
Qi Jiuli knew that Qi Qizhu had misunderstood what he meant, but he didn't explain it, and nodded, "Brother, I know." ”
"This is my clothes from the first two years, my grandmother made it at the beginning, and I have kept it without refurbishing, so it should be just right for you to wear it now." Qi Qizhu said.
"I'll change it now." Qi Jiuli walked to his room with his clothes, and only changed the jacket and pants outside, and it was soon healed, as for this hair, Qi Jiuli couldn't do anything about it, she was a clumsy person, and went to the kitchen for help.
At this time, Qi Shixiang had already packed a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes in a bamboo basket, and was talking to Qi Qizhu, "Brother, I took out a lot of them, I know you are worried about us, but we are also worried about you, you must bring these." ”
"Got it." Qi Qizhu said helplessly.
"I think it's too good to tie up a lot, Shixiang, you can help me." Qi Jiuli pointed to the maid on his head and said helplessly, in order to facilitate his actions in the past few days, he asked Qi Shixiang to help tie the maid bun on the second day after washing his hair.
She didn't completely remove her hair for a few days after that, there was a silhouette, and she could handle it when she woke up the next day, but the hairstyles of women and men were a little different, and she was not tall now, so she should be tied with two buns on her head similar to Qi Shiyi.
