43. Grandfather is the best
Looking at the rest of the things, Xiao Qi, who wanted to slip away, said: "Mother, there are still meat and snacks bought by my brothers on the ox cart, you and your sister-in-law go and put them away, that, I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while." ”
After saying goodbye to his grandfather, mother, and sisters-in-law, Xiaoqi quickly returned to his room, and lay on the bed with the door closed.
Lying on her back on the bed, she sighed secretly in her heart, fortunately she slipped away quickly, otherwise I really don't know if grandpa could hold back and not talk about her.
What's a girl anymore? You must know how to protect yourself, you can't always run out, you can't be careless just because you have great strength, and so on.
Who knew that she was lying down, lying down and really falling asleep unconsciously, and when she woke up again, she was awakened by a faint knock on the door.
"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, I'm a mother, haven't you woken up yet?" Wei tapped his hand on the door a few times.
"Wake up, wake up, mother, come in." Xiao Qi sat up from the bed in a daze as he spoke.
Wei Shi heard the sound and pushed the door open, and saw his daughter sitting on the bed with sleepy eyes, obviously she had just woken up.
"Get up! Your sisters-in-law have cooked the meal. Wei touched his daughter's face lovingly, looked at the marks on his daughter's face when she was sleeping, and a smile crossed her eyes.
"Well, I'll do it now." As he spoke, he moved a pair of calves off the bed and stepped on the cloth shoes made by his mother.
Wei Shi looked at his daughter who was still confused and laughed, her daughter was the cutest since she grew up, that is, when she just woke up, and it was almost heart-warming to watch.
"By the way, here's for you." Wei took out a blue cloth bag and placed it in his daughter's hand.
"What? Mother? Xiao Qi asked in a daze.
"Money! Didn't you tell the eldest brother and the second brother that the rest of the loose money would be given to you? Your eldest brother gave me six taels of silver and forty wen, but I gave them one tael, and the children are so old, your brother should have saved some more silver in their hands.
They also said that you had already explained that the rest of the loose money would be given to you, so my mother made you a small money bag and put it up, you have to put it away and don't use it indiscriminately. Wei looked at his confused little daughter and laughed again.
Hearing the money, Xiao Qi completely sobered up, glanced at his smiling mother, and then opened the money bag made by his mother, and poured out a large handful of copper plates from it, which his little hands couldn't accommodate at all, so Xiao Qi directly poured the copper plates on the bed.
Xiao Qi was happy to see the copper plate on the bed, the eldest brother was still quite good, and before he could say anything, he handed over all the money to his mother.
Speaking of which, the mother is the best, and there are a few parents like them who are willing to take out dozens of dollars for their children to hold for themselves.
Xiao Qi picked it up one by one and counted a total of forty Wen, which is really a lot, and Forty Wen can buy a lot of things, you must know that the eldest brother and the second brother only have a dozen yuan on him every day, she, she just enjoys the fun of saving money, and she has a lot of gold in her space.
happily put the copper plate back into the money bag, turned around and threw himself into his mother's arms, "Thank you, mother!" ”
Without waiting for her mother to speak, Xiao Qi then slipped off her mother's body, knelt on the ground and turned out a small wooden box from under the bed, which she begged her grandfather to make, boxy, and the copper plates she had obtained in the past few years were stored in this wooden box.
Blowing the floating ash on the surface of the wooden box clean, Xiao Qi moved it to the table where the bronze mirror was placed, and took out a key to open the small lock on the wooden box.
Then he counted out ten of the forty wen money that his mother had just given, and the rest was stored in the wooden box, including the copper plate given by his grandfather's family in the past few years, Xiao Qi has saved nearly six hundred copper plates, and the small wooden box is almost half full.
Wei has been watching from the sidelines, she has always known that her daughter has saved money, but she hasn't seen it much, Xiao Qi opened it in front of her, not to mention that the child has saved a lot.
Wei didn't say anything, just watched Xiao Qi take it out and open it and lock it, and then put it back under the bed, and then put the ten cents he counted into his cloth bag, and only after doing this did he put his eyes on her mother again.
"Put it away, you don't avoid your mother so much, you are not afraid that your mother will take away the copper plate you have saved!" Wei smiled and teased his daughter.
"Take it, isn't my daughter's copper plate my mother's copper plate? What's in it? "Xiao Qi really doesn't think this is a problem? Originally, she thought it was fun to save it.
"Okay, let's stop teasing you, let's go! Go wash your face first, your father and your third brother have already returned. ”
Xiao Qi followed his mother to the backyard to wash his face, and then went directly to the dining room with his mother.
"Grandpa, Dad" As a well-bred child, Xiao Qi still greeted his grandfather and father first without hurrying, and then sat in the vacant seat next to his grandfather, and the old man who sat on the throne looked at his granddaughter next to him with a warm face, and then spoke, "Rice".
When the family heard this, Xiao Qi saw the sauce beef at a glance, and hurriedly flattered his grandfather and father to clip a few slices each, "Grandpa, this sauce beef tastes very good, you can taste it." After saying that, he smirked a few times and began to use his own food.
The dinner was very rich, not only beef, but the sisters-in-law also burned all the pork belly into braised pork, the color was bright and bright red, and Xiao Qi sandwiched a piece of trembling and looked very delicious.
Sure enough, when I put it in my mouth, it was fat and thin, and it melted in my mouth, and the taste was really beautiful, and I couldn't help but sandwich a piece of braised pork after eating.
The happiest people in this meal are the nephews and Jinxiu, who eat a mouth full of oil, and they are too addicted to meat.
The adults are still relatively restrained, they all taste two pieces, and the rest of the braised pork is eaten by a few children.
Braised pork is not often made at home, the population is large, and it takes at least five or six catties to make braised pork once, even if they are not short of money now, but the family members who are used to living a simple life are still reluctant.
After the meal, Xiao Qi just wanted to slip away but was grabbed by his grandfather, asked Xiao Qi to accompany him to drink tea after dinner, and then accompanied him to the yard to eliminate food and walk around.
After drinking tea after dinner, Xiao Qi resigned himself to his grandfather's hand and walked in the front yard.
After a lap, I didn't see my grandfather talking, and Xiao Qi peeked at my grandfather a little strangely.
"Grandpa, why don't you speak?" Xiao Qi said cautiously.
The old man looked at the cautious granddaughter and smiled, patting his granddaughter's hand, "Little girl! What do you want Grandpa to say? ”
"Grandpa, are you angry with me? Because of the wild boar thing. Xiao Qi stopped and looked at the old man seriously.
"No, grandpa knows that although you are not a young child, you have been smart since you were a child, and you have read a lot of books and learned a lot of things with your father, and you basically understand everything.
But grandpa also wanted to open it, you kid has never been a night man arrogant, you have your own opinions, you know what to do and what not to do, even better than many adults do.
The most important thing is that you have natural divine power to protect yourself, which Grandpa is very relieved of, so I have decided that as long as you can ensure your own safety, no matter what you do in the future, Grandpa will no longer stop you.
And from tomorrow, you will also have to follow your brothers to practice martial arts with your grandfather, although it is just some simple martial arts moves, but with your divine power, I think the power is not small. ”
Listening to his grandfather say so many words in one go, Xiao Qi was very moved, and tears instantly filled his eyes, this is his own relatives, always believe in himself for the first time, protect himself, and take his own safety as the most important thing.
Xiao Qi hugged his grandfather tightly and choked up, "Grandpa, don't worry!" My granddaughter has not read books for so many years, and she will never do things that she shouldn't do, and she will definitely protect herself, I make you worry. ”
The old man looked at his granddaughter in his arms with satisfaction, and patted her gently, "Good boy, let's go, I'm walking a few more laps with my grandfather." ”
Meng Xia's night was still a little cool, but the old and young walking in the courtyard were indeed full of warmth, and they couldn't help but smile when they saw the jade bow hanging in the air.
