"Auntie, let's have a good meal together tonight." Qi Jiuli pointed to the roast chicken in the basket and said with his eyes lit up, "But brother doesn't know when he will be able to come back." ”

"Seven bamboos don't live in private schools?" Qi Shan turned his head and frowned and said.

"Brother doesn't worry about us." Qi Shixiang said, "We persuaded him, but my brother insisted on coming back every day, saying that he could also endorse on the way back, and he usually sat for a long time in the private school, and it was not bad to walk every day." ”

Qi Shan sighed, Qi Qizhu was worried, he could understand, and he also suffered the child, but it was good to come back, Qi Jiuli was thirteen years old after all, she was a big girl, and now she had withdrawn from her family, if there was no man in charge at home, he would be able to bully him without any scoundrels.

"Jiuli, you can go back and eat today, it's rare to see meat, eat more by yourself, and make up for it." Chi Lingmiao said.

"Uncle, how can you have something good to ask us to eat together, we have some good ones to open a small stove by ourselves, this is not a reason, not to mention that there is a happy event today, we should eat together and celebrate well." Qi Jiuli said, "If my brother comes back and knows that we will eat it ourselves, I will be sad in my heart." ”

"Okay, listen to you." Chi Lingmiao smiled and compromised, not to mention more comfort in her heart.

The group went directly to Qishan's house, but they met many people in the village on the way, and when they saw a lot of bamboo baskets on the donkey cart, they always asked something good, "Qishan, what are you doing this morning?" ”

"Today, Qizhu will go to the private school, we will send it, help move some food and firewood, and take a look at Basong by the way." Qi Shan said with a smile.

"No wonder."

When they set off from Qishan early this morning, although there were no people in the village, there were still some people to see, Chi Lingmiao pretended to be well camouflaged, and the bamboo basket was covered with straw and small branches, and the people in the village were convinced when they heard Qishan's words now.

"Now that Qizhu has gone to private school, these children have to worry about you and your wife." The villagers said.

"It should." Chi Lingmiao affirmed, "We don't bother to be uncles and aunts, who bother, not to mention that these children are very well-behaved, Qizhu is a sensible person, and he is worried about his younger brother and sister, and he won't live in a private school in the future, going back and forth every day." ”

"Ah, back and forth every day, how hard it is." Some villagers are concerned.

"Fortunately, now that the weather is slowly warming up, Qizhu's kid is stubborn, and he has a plan, he said what he said, we all agree." Qi Shan said with a smile, "Let's go back first." ”

The people in the village behind him talked a lot, and Qi Jiuli and a few people didn't care, and on the faces of the long-mouthed people, where can they manage it, they still worry about their own affairs.

Qi Shan and the others got off the donkey cart, Qi Yifei and Qi Sansheng opened the door and came out, helped move the bamboo basket down, Qi Yifei fed the donkey, and then led them to Lizheng's house to return the donkey cart.

Ren Xueer and Li Cuijuan were busy in the yard, taking out all the straw in the bamboo basket and bringing it into the kitchen, and washing the bamboo basket stained with charcoal ash.

The two looked at Chi Lingmiao from time to time, although they were anxious to know how it was selling, but they didn't ask.

After Qi Yifei came back, Chi Lingmiao beckoned everyone into the house and took out the roast chicken in the basket, "Eldest daughter-in-law, this is going to the town to sell charcoal today, and the nobles gave it to Jiuli, Jiuli remembered us in his heart, thinking that everyone would be stained with meat, and it would be hot tonight and have a good meal." ”

As soon as they saw the roast chicken, Qi Yifei and Qi Sansheng and his wife all lit up their eyes, I don't know when they were able to eat meat like this last time.

"Yes, mother." Ren Xue'er took the roast chicken, swallowed her saliva and said.

"This is the pastry left for you by Jiuli, this child is kind-hearted, how can he not eat alone, two pastries are exactly twelve pieces, a few of us have already eaten, and the rest of you will share a piece."

"I ate to cushion my stomach first, and I won't have dinner until Qizhu comes back tonight, and it will be a little later."

"Seven bamboos don't live in private schools?" Qi Yifei was surprised.

Qi Shan explained, "Since the kid said so, listen to him." ”

Ren Xue'er and Li Cuijuan looked at this cousin differently, whose family of scholars does not eat the best at home, only focuses on reading, and there is no need to do the work at home and in the field, when the second uncle and second aunt are still there, Qi Qizhu does not go to work every time he comes back from vacation.

Now that they know that their family is in difficulty, they would rather save the fifty wen every day, Ren Xueer and Li Cuijuan can understand a little more about their in-laws vigorously supporting Qi Qizhu's study.

"Okay, let's talk about big things." Qi Shan knocked on the cigarette stick without tobacco silk, and a rare smile appeared on his face, "The charcoal is selling very well today, all of it has been sold out, and we have made an agreement with a big family in the town that we will supply it for a long time in the future." ”

"What?" Qi Yifei and Qi Sansheng were shocked.

"Dad, is it really decided?" Qi Yifei has a little more knowledge, in the past few years, he has followed Qi Shan to the landlord's house to do work, and he has seen how to talk and deal with people, even the charcoal of the landlord's house, which is specially purchased with the shop, this is a long-term transaction, I didn't expect that there are really big families who will value their own families.

"Of course it's true." Chi Lingmiao took over the conversation and replied on his behalf, "It's all thanks to Jiuli's blessings, this kid speaks beautifully and well, and the nobles are happy to hear it, so such a good thing will fall on our heads." ”

Everyone looked at Qi Jiuli, and then they found that Qi Jiuli was a little different from the previous dress.

"Jiuli, you're wearing Qizhu's clothes." Qi Sansheng took a look and saw that this dress was worn by Qizhu a few years ago.

"It's more convenient." Qi Jiuli said with a smile, because of the futon on the way here, the people in the village didn't notice the difference in clothes, and because the people in the village were familiar with themselves, even if the hair was tied a little differently, people could recognize you at a glance.

"Mother, what did Jiuli say?" Qi Yifei asked.

Chi Lingmiao is a talker, so he kept talking about everything that happened in Qiu's house today, and the people in the house couldn't close their mouths when they heard that charcoal was sold for twelve wen a catty.

I heard that it would cost 200 catties in mid-June, and my heart became more and more hot.

"By the way, you have to remember that no one can say anything about our family making charcoal." Qi Shan suddenly said solemnly, his face was also serious, "We went to the Yu Ji grocery store first, Yu shopkeeper is not a good one, I am now afraid that Qiu Zhai used to buy charcoal is Yu Ji grocery store, I am afraid that they will think of us." ”

"We can be regarded as blocking other people's money, not low-key, being spoiled, we who are digging in the field have no place to talk." Qi Shan said the worst.

The people in the room were shocked, and said again and again that no one would say anything.
