"It's really worthy of being an old friend of Dr. Ren......" Lin Jinxiu praised the two of them in one sentence, "I didn't expect to be the biggest official in the county, it's really powerful." ”

Looking at Dr. Ren's smug appearance, Lin Jinxiu wanted to smile in her heart.

If he knew that above Yunzhu County, Yongzhou Mu Qin Shuyao was his friend, and he also painted a Chinese painting for himself, I don't know what kind of expression it would be!

By the way, that painting was regarded as a treasure by Lin Jinxiu, brought to the county seat, and is now hanging in Cui Xu's own room in the house.

Although when Cui Xu saw the painting, he didn't see that it was Lin Jinxiu at all.

I really don't know if the two painters deliberately beautified Lin Jinxiu's image, or if Cui Xu was simply blind......

"By the way, Miss Lin, the old man has a request." Doctor Ren said to Lin Jinxiu.

"Doctor, please."

"The youngest son of the county guard is the old man's patient." As soon as Doctor Ren mentioned the little boy, the expression on his face became a little solemn.

"Because of this illness, I have been losing my appetite, and if I need it in the future, the old man may ask the girl to cook a meal for the little boy."

It's just a matter of cooking, which is a gesture for Lin Jinxiu, so she agreed to Dr. Ren:

"If the doctor needs me, just come and talk to me when the time comes."

After chatting with Dr. Ren for a few more days, Dr. Ren went back to boil medicine for the little boy, and Lin Jinxiu sent him out.

"I really didn't expect to meet acquaintances in the county town." Lin Jinxiu leaned against the door to look at the direction of Dr. Ren's departure and said.

"Doctor Ren is benevolent, if someone invites him, I don't think it's strange to meet him in the capital." The plate in Huai Yanqing's hand spun around twice, and flew out of his palm under the impetus of his internal force.

The figure of the doctor disappeared in his eyes, and Lin Jinxiu walked towards the kitchen: "Let's not talk about others, whether we can go to the capital or not is not a word." ”

"You'll have a chance." Huai Yanqing said.

Lin Jinxiu looked at him and smiled: "You are so confident in me?" ”

"Of course." Huai Yanqing stretched out his hand, pointed to his eyes, and then squeezed his eyebrows and pointed at Lin Jinxiu, "I see people very accurately." ”

Lin Jinxiu raised her middle finger at Huai Yanqing, and the soles of her feet scurried, so that Huai Yanqing didn't have time to understand what she meant.

"Cui Xu!" The first thing Lin Jinxiu said when she entered the kitchen was, "You have time to teach me a few dishes that patients can eat!" ”

"Has anyone been sick?" Cui Xu's movements under the spoon did not stop, but he just turned his head to look at the shopkeeper who was eager to try.

Lin Jinxiu shook her head and returned to her post of preparing food: "Doctor Ren came to the county town, saying that his patient has lost his appetite, and if there is a chance, he will let us help." ”

"Oh, the doctor in Celadon County who has a good relationship with you, okay." When Cui Xu heard that he was helping Dr. Ren treat his illness, he readily agreed, "But you have to teach me how to make sugar gourds." ”

"It's simple." Lin Jinxiu waved his hand, "I promise to tell you the method, and you will surpass me." ”

After the two agreed to teach each other how to cook, they continued with the work at hand.

It didn't take long for Ning Er to come back from buying hawthorns, put a bag of red fruits in the kitchen, and washed a few of them casually and fed them to Lin Jinxiu.

Since Ning'er often fed her brothers and sisters, these people were used to it, and both men and women just said thank you and put that thing into their mouths.

But Qian Luke, who witnessed this for the first time, was shocked.

How could this little girl be so shameless as to feed a few of their men?

Seeing that Huai Yanqing's expression was so natural, although he accepted what Ning Er had in his hand, it didn't seem to be anything ambiguous.

…… It's like, a serious brother and sister.

Qianlu does have a younger sister, but he is polite, righteous and shameful, and he has never held his sister's hand in Dalian since he was a child.

Although he slept on a bunk like the other children, he didn't even have the opportunity to touch his arm.

"Qianlu Qianlu, give~" Just thinking about it, Ning'er also took a hawthorn and ran to Qianlu's side, making a gesture to feed him.

Qianlu looked at the red fruit handed to his mouth, and Ning Er's cute little face that was very close, and his face was suddenly redder than the hawthorn.

But he didn't hesitate at all when he saw Ning'er's movements, and he didn't dare to refuse at all, so he had to open his mouth and eat it.

Ning'er originally thought that he would refuse, but he didn't expect him to open his mouth to eat, which made Ning'er very happy, and gave him a super sweet smile and ran away.

Qianlu bit the hawthorn in his mouth while looking at Ning Er in a daze.

This was the first time he had eaten hawthorn.

The fruit in the mouth is round, red, and the flesh is soft and tender. Juice, sweet with sour......

It's like the little girl in front of her who smiles sweetly.

Ning'er was in a state of extreme excitement all afternoon, and being able to eat the sugar gourd made by her sister made her was in a very good mood, and she even hummed a little song while entertaining guests, and the pigtails on her head shook three times, and the whole person was like a lark.

In stark contrast to her is Huai Yanqing, he is obviously sleepy, his eyes were originally in the shape of squinting when he smiles, but now his eyes are half-open, and the three words "I want to sleep" are clearly written on his face.

I don't know if it was influenced by Huai Yanqing, and Qianlu was also sleepy.

The two men yawned one after another, and Ning Er wanted to laugh very much.

"Brother Huai, Qianlu, if you are sleepy, you can go to the backyard to rest, anyway, there are not many people now." Ning'er said.

"I'll go ...... in a while" Huai Yanqing's voice also became very low, and he sounded a little weak.

"I'm not done yet...... "Kenroku yawns as he proceeds with his work, afraid that he will miscount in this sleepy situation.

Ning Er saw that the two of them were indeed a little tired, so she reached out and pulled the two of them:

"Okay, okay, don't be reckless when you're tired, my sister has said, she can help with anything, go to sleep when you're sleepy, good!"

This is obviously learning Lin Jinxiu to speak, but with her sweet voice, it feels like a child learning from an adult.

Without the shopkeeper's own words, Qianlu didn't dare to move, and only turned his gaze to Huai Yanqing.

Huai Yanqing, who had been grinding by Ning Er for a while, compromised, stood up and walked towards the backyard, beckoning to Qianlu by the way to come along.

Seeing Huai Yanqing calling himself, Qianlu hurriedly jumped down from the chair to keep up, and the brush in his hand was just wiped and hung back on the shelf, not daring to slack off at all.

The backyard of the store is quite large, and there are all kinds of tools such as wells and stone grinders.

Lin Jinxiu specially built a very small house in the backyard and put two beds in it for her own people to rest during working hours.

The sheets and quilt covers will be changed every once in a while, and incense will be specially used to smoke them, so that the bedding becomes fragrant, which is very helpful for sleep.

Huai Yanqing took Qianlu and walked to the small house: "If you are tired in the future, just say hello to us and come here to sleep." ”

Qianlu nodded with a hum, but did not move.

Huai Yanqing didn't care about him, just lay down on one of the beds, scooped up the quilt and wrapped himself: "Someone will come to call after dinner, good afternoon." ”

As he spoke, he rolled over and closed his eyes facing the wall.

Seeing that Huai Yanqing was asleep, Qianlu looked at the other bed a little overwhelmed, carefully touched his hand to the quilt, but retracted it when he just touched it.

As if after hesitating for a long time, Qianlu slowly climbed onto the bed, careful not to touch the folded quilt, and lay straight inside, leaning against the wall on one side of his body, folding his hands on his abdomen, and closing his eyes.

It didn't take long for Huai Yanqing to be on the line, he yawned silently and turned around quietly.

But when he saw Qianlu sleeping, he frowned slightly.

He sat up quietly and was about to go out, but happened to meet Lin Jinxiu tiptoeing open the door with two bowls of corn juice and walked in.

Huai Yanqing took the tray in Lin Jinxiu's hand and put it on the desk on the side, and motioned to Lin Jinxiu to look at Qianlu with his chin.

Lin Jinxiu saw Qianlu, who was sleeping straight in the corner of the wall, and looked at Huai Yanqing with some doubts.

Huai Yanqing took the corn juice that Lin Jinxiu brought in and shook his head.

I saw Lin Jinxiu gently walk to Qianlu's side, stretch out her hand to pick him up, and move to the middle of the bed.

Feeling that his exposed skin was very cold, Lin Jinxiu shook off the quilt, gently covered his body, and tucked the corners of the quilt before calling Huai Yanqing, and the two of them quietly went out.

Just after the door was gently closed, Qianlu slowly opened his eyes, and slowly rubbed the quilt on his body with his two hands, only feeling soft and warm.

There was an extremely complicated look in his eyes, and suddenly he was short of breath.

He rolled over and sat up, knelt on the bed, folded his hands as if praying for something, trembling and terrified.

This state lasted for a while, and he grabbed the quilt, wrapped himself tightly, covered his head, and did not move.

At this time, Lin Jinxiu and Huai Yanqing were chatting about Qianlu in the backyard.

"This child's sleeping position startled me......" Lin Jinxiu touched the clothes on his arm with his hand, "I thought that only when the dead were buried, they would lie so straight." ”

Huai Yanqing held the corn juice in his hand, leaned on the grinding plate, and responded to Lin Jinxiu's words: "Some of the children I have seen, if they are fragile in their hearts, they all like to curl up together. ”

"It's the first time I've seen someone like him."

Lin Jinxiu's face was full of worry: "This kid must have experienced something bad before......"

"How good can a child who works in the hook bar be?" Huai Yanqing asked rhetorically.

"That's right." Lin Jinxiu looked back at the room where Qianlu was resting, and let out a long sigh, the worry on his face flashed.

"But now that he's still young, take care of him more, and one day he'll be fine."

Lin Jinxiu is still very confident in the environment around her.

He is surrounded by some kind and warm-hearted people, and sooner or later this kid will be impressed by them.

"Is there a way?" Huai Yanqing looked at Lin Jinxiu's eyes and knew that there must be some strange thoughts coming out of her little brain.

Lin Jinxiu smiled: "It's not a way." ”

"You say, if we put that attitude towards Ning'er on Qianlu's body, after Qianlu gets used to it, will he have the same character as Ning'er?"

Lin Jinxiu guessed.

"It's kind of difficult." Huai Yanqing corrected, "Ning'er was saved by you before going through these things, even if Qianlu will become cheerful, he will not be like Ning'er." ”

"Just be cheerful." Lin Jinxiu was a little eager to try.
