The business of the Malatang stall was booming, and some dishes had been sold out in just half a day, so Mrs. Chu immediately made a decision, led her three daughters-in-law home to soak fungus, cut gourd strips, peel yam skins, and put three hundred taels of silver by the way.

In front of the stall, Chu Yun sucked a mouthful of saliva and snot, bit his fingers and stared at the sugar gourd in Chu Ci's hand, swallowing saliva vigorously.

Chu Ci handed her the sugar gourd in his hand, "Eat it"

Glancing at the big brothers around them again, he suddenly sighed, took out his small vault, took out twenty pieces of money from it, and bought a full eight sugar gourds in front of the sugar gourd stall, "Everyone has one for each person, don't rob it, there are all of them"

"Thank you, little sister" No matter how mature the three brothers of the Chu family are, they are still children and love new things.

After eating a string of sugar gourds, Chu Qingyong immediately grabbed Qinghui and put it on top of his head, and swayed around while running, the eldest girl, the second girl, they came to the town for the first time, and they were very happy.

Chu Ya sent the last guest away, watching the brothers and sisters on the side play together, and gently bit through the outer icing of the sugar gourd, which was slightly sour, but it was sweet in the mouth, perhaps, happiness is so simple.

After a busy day, after returning home.

Fragments of copper plates fell on the table like a hill, and the whole family stared eagerly at these copper plates, a total of two taels of silver, they had never thought that they could earn so much money in one day before, Chu Ya opened the door to a new world for them.

Autumn and winter are coming in the school, the students have changed into slightly bloated cotton clothes, Chu Ci came half a quarter of an hour early, carrying a bag of her favorite chestnut cake in her hand, and before she entered the classroom, she heard the sound of reading inside.

"Brother Mingxuan, I brought you chestnut cake and yam cake"

"Yam is a pastry made from the roots dug in the mountain last time, with white sugar added to it, but it's delicious, this is made by the third sister, you can taste it"

Listening to the girl's soft and sweet voice, Chu Mingxuan, who was originally reading, felt as if a soft feather had gently swept over his heart, turned his head, and looked at Chu Ci's shining eyes, and suddenly felt that his troubles were very awkward and childish.

In the open oil-paper packaging bag, the boxy yam cake was no worse than the dim sum sold outside, Chu Mingxuan twisted a piece and put it in his mouth, soft and glutinous, not too sweet, not too light, just his taste "delicious"

"Yes, you also think it's delicious, the yam cake is made by the third sister, and I originally planned to take it to the town to buy it, but as soon as it came out of the pot, it was robbed by several brothers in the family, but I finally grabbed this pack" Chu Ci looked at him and liked to eat it.

Chu Mingxuan watched the little girl's elbows fall on the desk, his palms supporting his two white jade-like faces, staring at the yam cake under his hand from time to time, like a greedy kitten, the corners of the young man's eyes narrowed, and he felt uncomfortable for two days, and finally the rain in his heart was clear.

"Yesterday, an uncle came to see me and gave me two talking parrots, do you want to go and see it?" Chu Mingxuan racked his brains and couldn't think of anything he could share, fortunately, he just got two parrots with dry tongues yesterday, and after arguing all night, he wanted to give them away, but now seeing that Chu Ci's sister is so interested, then he will keep it.

"Yes, yes, yes" Chu Ci nodded vigorously, her whole curiosity was mobilized, she had never seen a talking parrot, she couldn't wait to get out of class, and immediately went to see the parrot.

When Chu Si was in class, he always felt that his son and the little girl were a little impatient, was it his delusion?

Today, I will recite the surnames of 100 families, and I will have ten large characters for my homework after class.

After Chu Ci said goodbye to his three elder brothers, he immediately followed Chu Mingxuan to his house, which was not far away, in the courtyard five meters behind the school.

"Brother Mingxuan, is the parrot beautiful?" The little girl followed behind, and the three brothers of the Chu family inexplicably felt a sense of crisis in their hearts, their brother's status seemed to be threatened, and Chu Qingyang's expression changed suddenly.

The boy tilted his head and thought for a while, "Color" was probably not satisfied with his short reply, and added another sentence, "The tail feathers are very long, you want it, pluck it for you"

"That's still not good, feathers are parrots' umbrellas, and it hurts to pull them out"

"The season will shed hair, it's all for you"

"Thank you, Brother Mingxuan"

"Good way~"

The young man touched the girl's plush hair with satisfaction, and his dull face showed a rare bit of pleasure, and quietly grabbed the girl's hand and went straight to his house, all the way to the backyard.

Chu Si, the elegant man who followed behind, felt sore and a little funny, and he didn't know what he remembered, with nostalgia, "I don't know who this kid looks like?" But the ability to attract girls is exactly the same."

Whispering, low and inaudible.

And Chu Mingxuan had already taken Chu Ci across the front yard and into the backyard, there were two bird cages under the big peach tree, and two emerald green birds pecked inside, the little guy was only the most beautiful, and the voice was also the most beautiful "girl"

"Hello, my name is Chu Ci" took a closer look, it was indeed very beautiful, a verdant body, only a pinch of bright red hair on the top of the head, and then listened to its chirping voice, and also listened to the tactful "Beautiful, Chu Ci girl"

Chu Ci was stunned when he heard it, Chu Mingxuan's embarrassed ears and neck on the side were red, these two birds called yesterday were clearly not this, the little sister heard it, would she think that he taught it, she was angry and anxious, and she couldn't wait to take out these two stupid birds that damaged his reputation and beat them up.

The two kingfishers may have sensed the little master's resentment, and when Chu Mingxuan was about to make a move, they flew up and swayed in the cage, and from time to time an astonishing sentence came out of their mouths, "Too stupid, stupid"

"Silly bird, shut up for me"

"Hahahaha" looked at Chu Mingxuan, who was jumping to his feet in anger, and then looked at the little guy in the cage, Chu Ci felt that his small bean-sized eyes revealed a sense of cleverness, that is, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, it was so cute.

After Aunt Liu heard the movement and came out of the back room, she glanced at the two children who were playing, with a hearty smile on her wrinkled face, "Mr. Little is teasing the parrot to play, oh, Chu Xiaomei also came to play, Auntie made chicken legs today, Mr. asked me to call you to dinner"

Chu Ci reluctantly left, washed his hands, sat at the dinner table, and his eyes sneaked out of the window from time to time.

"You can take it back to play today" Chu Si looked at the little girl's reluctant appearance, which was quite interesting, so he said it to Chu Ci before his son opened his mouth.

Chu Mingxuan's words were robbed, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at his father, this is my thing, you are acting as a substitute.

Chus: I'm your son.

The eyebrows and eyes of the Chu family's father and son, Chu Ci didn't understand, she is now full of green-haired parrots, and when she goes back, she will teach them to speak, it must be fun.

The Chu family does not have a hostess, Aunt Liu is from the next door, and Chu Si hired them to cook for them with some money, usually wash clothes, clean or something.

Today's meal is extraordinarily rich, braised pork ribs, stir-fried rape, stewed chicken thighs, and a small plate of beef in sauce, eaten with rice, which is very fragrant.

Chu Mingxuan and Chu Si both sat upright when eating, with a board and a glance, very gentlemanly and elegant, in contrast, Chu Ci below was a little informal, "Brother Mingxuan, this sauce beef is super delicious, you can taste it"

There was suddenly an extra piece of sauced beef in the bowl, Chu Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, and then moved his chopsticks and ate the beef with rice, "And this chicken thigh, stewed soft, I like it very much"

"Eat without saying anything" Chus glanced up at her, as if he was very displeased with her behavior of picking up vegetables.

Chu Ci raised her eyebrows, she was not afraid of the teacher's cold face, but when he was angry, she also sandwiched a piece of sauced beef for him, and by the way, she gave him a big smile, this time I didn't speak.

Chu Mingxuan clearly saw that the corners of his father's eyes seemed to be a little cracked, and the young man's straight face showed a three-point smile, probably his father's rules are only the little sister can see the stitches.

After eating, Chu Mingxuan led Chu Ci to the study, a room full of books, what official history, what travelogue essays, everything, there are two desks in the study, one of which has a lot of things to visit and neat, and it looks like Mr.'s.

The other one, which was mostly a presidency, was smooth and delicate to the touch, much better than the discounted rough paper they bought in the town, and it didn't smudge at all, and Chu Ci's attention was completely attracted by a travelogue.

"Sir, can I borrow this book and read it at home?"

Chu Ci walked to the desk with the travelogue, and saw that Mr. was checking the account book, fiddling with the abacus while checking, writing and drawing on the paper, his brows furrowed, obviously encountering a problem.

"This account book was sent four days ago, and my father counted it once, but the number didn't match, so he had to calculate it again" Chu Mingxuan didn't say what the account book remembered, but Chu Ci felt that it should be very important, looking at Mr. like this, today is not good, it is estimated that he will have to work all night in the next few days.

The little girl's big round eyes rolled, took the pen and paper on the table to write and draw, first typed a form, and then filled in the date on it, and soon, Chu Si was attracted to the past, he didn't know those number symbols, but the girl knew the one, two, three, four.

"Sir, this is digital bookkeeping, clear and clear, simple and fast, how about it, convenient, right?" Chu Ci put down his pen and looked at him with a smile.

"Brother Mingxuan, it's not early, it's time for me to go home"

Chu Ci hadn't forgotten the little bird, the two of them walked to the backyard one after the other, the cage was too big, she overestimated that she was a weak chicken who couldn't resist on her shoulders and couldn't lift it in her hands, but she was really reluctant to let the two parrots "Brother Mingxuan, is it okay to open the cage, I'll take the birds back, and I'll bring them back tomorrow, okay?" ”

Chu Mingxuan wanted to say that this was originally for you, but he thought that he could stay with Chu Xiaomei for a while tomorrow, so he acquiesced.

The two kingfishers came out of the cage and landed on Chu Ci's shoulders, even if they flew in the air, they did not leave Chu Ci's distance of twenty meters "Go home, go home"

"Let's go, we're going home"

The little girl jumped in front, and Chu Mingxuan followed unhurriedly behind.

Chu Si saw this scene through the window, and the little girl was indeed a magical girl.
