Chapter 65: Who's Smarter
When Qi Wei's family was able to sit on the kang and eat canned yellow peaches, Shen Mengxi's knee bruises had disappeared a little, and the worn places were also scabbed and itchy, and he couldn't help but want to peel them off.
Qi Baoan became silent like never before, and there was heaviness and sorrow between the young man's eyebrows. Han Dong and Wei Dajun came to him to play, but they didn't like to go.
Shen Mengxi can now climb the ladder, she came to Qi Bao'an's side, the two sat side by side on the roof of the partial building, and the sunset was shining on the river.
I don't know how long, Qi Bao's voice was hoarse, he looked at Jiang Mian and said, "Sister-in-law won't let me see the Wei family." ”
"My sister-in-law doesn't like to take care of me. I'll go to Taiping on Sunday and apologize to the Wei family for you. "Shen Mengxi didn't look down on the security guards either.
"Hmm. If you hadn't saved the Wei family, my brother would have died. After speaking, he lifted the hem of her skirt again, revealing her purple artemisia knee, and reached out to touch it, "Does it still hurt?" ”
"It hurts a little." Shen Mengxi flattened the hem of her skirt again, "Your expression at that time was too scary, I'm really afraid that you will die with you." Thinking of the Qi security guard at that time, he stared at the Qi Weijia who Qi Baoliang was carrying on his shoulder, his chest rose and fell, his fists clenched, and his face was guilty and resolute. Shen Mengxi still had palpitations.
"I regret it. The Wei family was scared and wanted me to go back, but I seemed to be confused, so I had to drag the fish up! ”
"The boat and the fish were found, the fish was a little not fresh, I didn't dare to send it to Harbin City, and sold it directly to the Linjiang Hotel, Brother Baoliang said to take the money to buy a washing machine for my sister-in-law."
Qi Baoan's stubborn Qili carp was sold by them, and Qi Youheng and his wife also gave Qi Baoliang a lot of money and gifts one after another, and the most important thing is that sister-in-law Zhang Fengling regarded their family as an enemy.
Qi Baoan heard the long and helpless sigh of his nine-year-old sister, and felt ashamed in his heart: this sister, who was eight years younger than him, was worried about herself like her parents.
In the past few days, he has not had the courage to look up and look at his parents, nor have his parents beaten him or scolded him.
Nor do I talk to him.
The eldest brother ignored him, the three were preparing for the college entrance examination, and only the younger sister often talked to him.
Qi Baoan was like a lone wolf who had been driven out of the wolf pack, panicked and lonely.
This morning, he swam desperately in the river, swam until he was exhausted, and finally could not swim ashore, he wanted to probe the bottom with his feet, but he took a sip of water, and the current pushed him downstream, and at that moment he even thought, die!
Floating in the river, he felt as small as a matchhead, he gave up the struggle, but he always floated on the water. He plunged into the river, but naturally held his breath. A few minutes later, he surfaced, went down the water, and floated until the shallows of Taiping Village before going ashore, he didn't have the face to the embankment to his grandfather's house, and walked barefoot from the beach back to the county seat.
"I know you're unintentional." Shen Mengxi looked at the sun like duck egg yolk and said.
Qi security guard choked in his throat and didn't say anything, just nodded.
On Sunday, Qi Health took Shen Mengxi to Taiping Village on his bicycle again, with a bag of canned snacks hanging from the handlebars.
As soon as he entered Qi's house, Qi Baoliang was chopping firewood, Qi Health Park the bicycle, took the axe in his hand, and picked up the halberd, "Weidong, why do you still want to chop firewood." ”
"Your second sister-in-law introduced a partner, and the two of them went to watch a movie." Qi Baoliang smiled at Shen Mengxi and greeted warmly, "Zhuzhu is also here!" Come into the house, your nephew is talking about you every day! ”
Shen Mengxi entered the old man's house, but the old man was not there.
"Your grandfather is weeding in the back garden!" Qi Baoliang said.
She went to the back door and shouted, "Grandpa, I'm here!" ”
"Ah, I hear you!" Old Man Qi also shouted.
Shen Mengxi walked into the room of the three brothers of the Qi Wei family, and the Qi Wei family was holding the canned food bottle in one hand and the spoon in the other, eating the hawthorn canned food with a smile, and the spoon hit the glass bottle with a crisp sound.
"Auntie! Let my mom bring you a new bottle, this one will make me mess up. Qi Weijia put down the can and let Shen Mengxi sit, he knew that it was his aunt who pulled him back from Lord Yama, his knees were broken, his hands were shaking for several days, and his parents also pushed people several times, he was grateful and sorry, but he was a little embarrassed for his aunt to blow on him, and he was a little awkward when he saw him at this time.
"I don't eat it, you eat yours." Shen Mengxi put the things he brought on the kang, looked at his face, pinched his shoulders, and touched his pulse again, "Well, what a blessed child!" ”
Qi Weijia laughed, and the hawthorn he had just eaten almost spewed out.
"It's delicious!" Shen Mengxi reprimanded.
Qi Weijia still laughed.
"Your uncle has been eating and sleeping for a few days, he is very guilty, let me say sorry to you for him." Shen Mengxi looked at Qi Wei's family and said slowly.
Qi Weijia ate another hawthorn nonchalantly, "It's okay! I'm not doing it well! ”
Alas, Shen Mengxi sighed again.
"My uncle had to take me to walk the strings that day, in fact, I really wanted to go, and I was afraid and wanted to go. Later, when I fell into the river, my uncle tried his best to save me, and I know it. I don't blame him, really! I really don't blame him! It's my mom, I can't help it if I don't let my uncle into the house."
"It's good that you understand your uncle, he didn't think well about things and was punished, but his heart is good. Also, our family understands your mother, and she feels sorry for you. You're going to have to take care of it in the future, so that your mother can rest assured, you know? ”
"Got it." Qi Weijia laughed again after speaking, "Auntie, no matter how old you are, you are not even ten years old, look at you like my milk when you speak, hahahaha!" ”
Shen Mengxi sighed, got off the kang and walked out of the back room, and when she went out, she saw Zhang Fengling standing in the kitchen, looking at her with complicated eyes, she called sister-in-law with a smile, Zhang Fengling snorted, and didn't say anything else.
Shen Mengxi went to the back garden to weed and catch insects with Old Man Qi, and squatted in the ditch to pull weeds.
remembered that the night before yesterday, Lu Xiuzhi went to the crossroads to burn paper, recited words, and killed a rooster, and quietly smeared chicken blood on her forehead and feet at twelve o'clock at night. He smiled and asked, "Grandpa, you say, who is smarter, me or my grandmother?" ”
"That's still your milk smart." Old Man Qi straightened his waist and said with certainty, "I grew up with your grandmother in a small piece, she was a thief at the age of four or five, and she could learn anything as soon as she was a child, like you are so old, she has learned all the four books and the five classics, and also taught me the rules of the disciples, the enhancement of virtuous writing, and there is no way to play qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, if it weren't for the Republic of China, she would have to go to the draft." She learned acupuncture by reading medical books by herself since she was a child, and she was brought back to life by her grandmother. The old monk showed her, saying that she was a blessed person, and she had any wisdom in her previous life. It's a pity that your dad and they all followed me, and their brains are not good, alas, your second uncle is most like your milk, and it's still gone. ”
"Then how did you marry my grandmother?"
"Our Qi family and He's family are all in the flag, but after the Republic of China, it has declined, her father can't quit smoking, and the family is getting poorer and poorer. Our family is okay, better than hers. She was so treacherous, I didn't dare to play tricks with her, so I treated her well with my heart, and when I grew up together, she followed me. Old Man Qi also squatted down, reminiscing about the past, "She said that she wanted me to be good to her and not be happy for the rest of my life, and I agreed." Haha, tell your kid about this! Old Man Qi turned around and went to get the hoe in disguise.
"My mother is not sure, she secretly smeared chicken blood on me at night, and went out to burn paper, I know it." Shen Mengxi smiled.
"Just wipe it, they don't understand." Old Man Qi said.
"Okay." Shen Mengxi made a helpless look.
"I've really seen an old Taoist who also pressed his chest like this, crossing his breath to save people."
"Huh? When? ”
"That's early, I'm a little younger, the child that the old Taoist saved is my uncle and brother, you have to call the third grandfather, he is eighty-six this year, and he is still alive and well in his hometown, he has no illness since he was a child, and people say that he has the immortal spirit of the old way, and he is not invaded by all diseases."
"Immortal?" Shen Mengxi burst out laughing, she felt that the genes of the Qi family were better.
"My granddaughter is also a fairy child in front of the Guanyin Master, and she has crossed the fairy qi for the Wei family!" Old Man Qi said half-truthfully, Shen Mengxi couldn't figure out what Old Man Qi was thinking for a while, and after thinking about it, things had happened, so he simply didn't bother about it.
She clapped her hands, stomped her feet in annoyance, and exclaimed, "Oh, you know this!" ”
Hahahaha, Old Man Qi laughed.
