Chapter 36: Qi Renxing
"Qizhu, you should finish eating cornmeal at home." Chi Lingmiao asked with concern, "I'll send some over later." β
"Auntie, Jiuli specially asked me to buy it today, don't send it." Qi Qizhu told white lies.
"Got it, got it." Chi Lingmiao nodded and walked away, knowing that they now had some silver money in their hands, so they were relieved.
Qi Shan personally sent Qi Qizhu and Qi Basong to the entrance of the village, and told them to come back quickly in the evening, and he went to the land temple in Qiliangou, today is the second day of the second month of February, and Li is asking the village to send out a strong man to worship the land lord, praying for good weather and good harvest this year.
"You're coming back in the evening?" Qi Qizhu looked at Qi Basong and frowned.
"Well, I don't live in a private school anymore." Qi Basong smiled indifferently.
"Why?" Qi Qizhu asked.
"What, why, where is the private school comfortable to live at home." Qi Basong replied.
"I haven't seen you go home before." Qi Qizhu picked out the way.
"That's not just me, I'm cowardly, you don't know, now it's okay, you're coming back, then I'm not in company." Qi Basong sighed, "Okay, let's go." β
Qi Qizhu helplessly looked at Qi Basong, who was speeding up his pace, he was still timid, and he had never seen a bolder person than him.
"Hurry up." Qi Basong turned his head and urged Qi Qizhu, "Let's go earlier, don't you still have to buy tongs and food, buy it early, and we can come back directly in the evening." β
Qi Qizhu nodded, although he bought food to shirk Chi Lingmiao's kindness, but now that he has three hundred Wen on him, he can buy a lot of food, and he can't really eat sweet potatoes and potatoes every day in the next few days.
Qi Jiuli and the three of them stayed at home to make charcoal for a day, but the wood and water were basically used up, and they had to wait for the uncle to send it.
Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi couldn't be idle, seeing that the weather was good, they were going to the mountains to look for wild vegetables after carrying a basket, of course Qi Jiuli couldn't let the two of them go alone, so they went together.
Not to mention, I met a lot of people on the way up the mountain, basically about ten years old, uniform emaciation and yellow faces, jackets were also patched, several people looked at their own three people, some smiled and said hello, and some walked away quickly.
Qi Jiuli was carrying a cornmeal nest in his arms, thinking about whether he could meet Qi Daya later, but he didn't notice this, but Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi saw it.
"Hmph, what kind of person, didn't they all smile and say hello when they saw us before, since my father and mother went, they have been a little estranged from our family." Qi Shixiang muttered angrily.
Qi Jiuli came back to his senses when he heard this, looked around, and saw that several little girls secretly looked at him, patted Qi Shixiang's back and said, "Shixiang, what people do is their business, let's not talk about people's parents." β
"Let's see who can still treat us like before, such people are worthy of friends." Qi Jiuli said to Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi, "It's not about how many friends you have, it's about whether you really deal with me." β
"But of course, there are also warm-hearted and cold-hearted people, and this kind of person depends on us to look carefully." Qi Jiuli educates.
"What is a warm face and a cold heart?" Qi Shiyi asked suspiciously, and Qi Shixiang also looked at Qi Jiuli waiting for a solution.
"It's just that I'm very close and enthusiastic on the surface, but I don't want to associate with you in my heart." Qi Jiuli explained.
"Ah, there are such people, so don't come if you don't want to come and go." Qi Shixiang said quickly.
"Such people often see the benefits in us, that is, the places that can take advantage of us." Qi Jiuli said, "Don't forget, even if my father and mother go, but our brother is a child, if he is admitted to Xiucai, others will not rush to make friends with us." β
"Of course, for such people, we also have to do superficial work, just deal with it, just pass, don't take anything from others." Qi Jiuli said, "Okay, you are still young, I will tell you when I meet my sister in the future." β
"Sister, I feel like you're even more powerful than before." Qi Shixiang admired.
"Hey, my sister also went through something this time, and I understand something." Qi Jiuli pretended to sigh and sighed.
"Sister, don't be sad." Qi Shiyi looked at Qi Jiuli seriously and said.
"Don't worry, my sister won't be sad for irrelevant people." Qi Jiuli pinched Qi Shiyi's face, thinking about when he could make this little guy chubby.
"Sister Jiuliβ"
Hearing the call, Qi Jiuli instinctively turned around, and not far behind him, a little girl wearing a flower jacket, combing a double bun, and a round face ran forward with a smile.
Qi Jiuli's eyes lit up, this little girl looked about the same age as herself, with big eyes, a baby fat face, and fair skin, she was the most iconic little girl Qi Jiuli had ever seen today, and she looked at the good conditions at home.
"Sister Renxing." Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi called with a smile.
"Sister, it's the eldest granddaughter of the Li Zheng family, Qi Renxing, one year younger than you." Qi Shixiang quickly approached Qi Jiuli and whispered in his ear.
"Renxing." Qi Jiuli glanced at Qi Shixiang appreciatively, his little sister was really clever.
"Sister Jiuli, are you well?" Qi Renxing asked, with concern in his eyes, "I just came back from my grandmother's house yesterday, and it was already late when I got home, and I heard Renyong say that you were sick, so I came to see you this morning, but I saw you coming up the mountain from afar, so I chased after you." β
"We're going to pick wild vegetables." Qi Jiuli said.
"Then I'll go find wild herbs too." Qi Renxing smiled and raised his hand and said, "I just carried a basket." β
Qi Renxing looked around, and when he saw many people looking over, he pulled Qi Jiuli to the mountain and said in a low voice, "I brought you delicious food and a beautiful head rope." β
Qi Renxing lifted the coarse cloth on the basket slightly, revealing five eggs and four blue head ropes inside.
"Renxing, you eat it yourself, just wear it yourself, and we ...... it too"
Before Qi Jiuli could say anything about refusal, he was preempted by Qi Renxing, "Eh, this is my intention, if you don't accept it, I will be angry." β
"Sister Jiuli, don't worry, my mother and grandmother both know, and they also helped to cook the eggs, and we can eat them when we are hungry when we pick wild vegetables, but this one is for Brother Qizhu, and when he comes back at night, you will give it to him." Qi Renxing explained clearly.
Qi Renxing's expression was sincere, and Qi Jiuli didn't refuse again, "Renxing, thank you very much." β
"What a relationship we have." Qi Renxing tapped Qi Jiuli on the shoulder, "Jiuli, you're okay now, let me tell you, fortunately, you and that Yu Haotian quit your relationship, such a bastard thing, where is it worth your sadness, I will definitely meet a better one in the future." β
