Chapter 19 Family Affairs
Xiliu saw that Ji Liu insisted on helping her pick it up, so she didn't say anything, after all, it might take a lot of time for her to pick up this green vegetable alone. The two quickly picked up the vegetables, and then quickly cleaned them, and then began to climb up the mountain, on the way, Xiliu told Ji Liu what she thought of before going to bed, and told him not to say anything wrong. She also knew that the rhetoric was a bit far-fetched, but there was no other way, after all, the time was too rushed, and she didn't think of a better one. It's all to blame for myself, but I accidentally fell asleep again.
Back on the mountain, everyone was surprised to see Xiliu and Ji Liu's extremely embarrassed appearance. Que'er hurriedly came up and asked, "Young Dongjia, what's going on between you and Ji Gongzi?" ”
Xiliu put his expression on the table and calmly replied: "It's okay, it's just... Ji Liu, a stinky boy, didn't work, I was angry, so I had a fight with him, and who knew that he fell into the water. ”
Ji Liu added with a smile: "Yes, that's right, and then there were exactly two sharp stones in the water, which broke my lips." He was triumphant, saying that he was wounded, but as if he was showing off something to others.
Xiliu glanced at him coldly, suggesting that he should not say much, so Ji Liu shut up.
Hearing this, the finch looked incredulous, and said, "Less...... Would the young owner have a conflict with Ji Gongzi over such a trivial matter? You...... Didn't you always comfort yourself not to worry about these little children, why don't you ...... today?"
Xiliu coughed twice, and said weakly: "This is not ...... I endure a lot on weekdays, so I can't help it. After speaking, he hurriedly pushed the finch forward, and continued: "Oh, finch is about to freeze to death, can you let me go to the fire next to the fire first?" ”
Finch reacted and nodded hurriedly, "Oh yes, yes, yes...... You and Ji Gongzi hurry over to bake the fire, otherwise it will be typhoid fever. I'll go and tell them to get two garments for you to put on. ”
As he walked towards the fire, Xiliu stopped the finch and said, "Don't go, I don't know how to change my clothes when I bring them, I'll just go and bake the fire." After speaking, he looked at Ji Liu, frowned, and then turned his head and instructed Qi'er: "You find someone to take Ji Gongzi back to change his clothes, he is more afraid of the cold." ”
Ji Liu, who was walking behind him, refused, "I don't have to change it, I'll just bake the fire." As he spoke, he walked to the side of the stream.
Xiliu was a little uneasy, after all, this season's little boy, looking noble and weak, only grew tall. So she asked again, "Are you sure?" ”
Ji Liu nodded deeply.
Xiliu looked around and saw Xi Xun and Jiang Fengmian sitting under the plum tree stunned, and the other squinted coldly. So he said: "Master Jiang still feels cold? ”
Hearing this, Jiang Fengmian neatly untied his windbreaker and said, "Take it." ”
Xiliu then took the windbreaker and put it on Ji Liu's body, but saw that he was motionless, like a stupid child, so he neatly helped him tie the belt, and then walked to the fire. Seeing that Ji Liu was still motionless, he squinted and said, "Do you want to stand here and freeze to death?" ”
Ji Liu hurriedly followed with a red face.
The finch led the people to cook the vegetables, and it would take a while before the meal could be opened. Keiliu and Ji Liu sat by the fire and roasted the fire, the flames in front of them jumping up and down.
Ji Liu suddenly said: "Sister Xi still needs me to help you ask Old Man Ji out?" ”
Keiliu shook his head: "No need. ”
Ji Liu asked, "Why don't you use it?" Didn't you just want to ask him some questions? ”
"I do want to ask Boss Ji some questions, but if I think about it carefully, my family affairs are more important." The brook stays back.
"It seems that my sister cares a lot about her family affairs, isn't it just a family affair? What's there to care about? Ji Liu frowned and asked her.
Xiliu shook his head and sighed, and said seriously: "Son, you are still young, so you don't understand, this family matter is a matter of life." Who wouldn't look forward to the person who will marry him in the future will have the same heart, life and death, talk to Zicheng, hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. ”
"Life and death are broad, and Zicheng said. Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son? Ji Liu repeated, with a questioning tone.
Keiliu nodded at him as he picked up the wood fire with a branch, and the flames suddenly became high. She continued: "So, don't joke about your family affairs at every turn in the future, you have to take your family affairs seriously, and when you reach the age of marrying, find someone who is happy with each other, and marry well." ”
Ji Liu asked again: "But... What if I want to marry someone and she doesn't want to marry me? When he said this, he looked over to Xiliu, but saw that Xiliu's face suddenly changed, and his expression instantly climbed into some sadness.
Is one intentional and the other unintentional? What she is most afraid of is such a thing, she would rather both of them be unintentional than one affectionate and one unintentional. So Xiliu replied: "If this is the case, don't marry her, where is there no grass at the end of the world?" A patchwork marriage will be a bad one..."She didn't finish her words, because those two words were a little infiltrating, and "bad fate" was her evaluation of her parents' affair.
Keiliu lowered her eyes and hid her eyebrows deeply, afraid that others would see the endless sadness in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Ji Liu replied in a low voice: "I remember, in the future, it won't be like this." ”
Keiliu didn't reply, and the two fell silent until the meal was cooked.
Under the auspices of the finch, the people began to sit around the fireplace and eat lunch. After all, it was a picnic, and it was all food after the sacrifice, which was far less exquisite than the food at home in the past. But with the spring breeze as a companion, the food is exceptionally delicious, and everyone has a good appetite. After eating, everyone found a place to sacrifice Ji Liu and Jiang Fengmian's deceased relatives, and finally packed up their things and returned to the Xi Mansion, and the day passed almost like this. In the evening, Xiliu and the others packed up the things they had returned to the city, wrapped a few bags of food prepared by Lin Qiao'er, and went to rest. Early the next morning, they returned to Nanshui City by car, and then separated. Xi Xun, Ji Liu, and Jiang Fengmian returned to the Academy last month, and Xi Liu began to work on the things that her young owner of the Xi clan should be busy with, which was not much different from the early morning and dark in the past. In addition, there is an extra little white dog in the yard - walking. The servants of Xifu were a little busier than usual.
Soon, March passed, and the spring twilight of April ushered in, and the long-prepared assembly of the Ministry of Commerce was held on the second day of the first month of April. Shen Ting, who hadn't seen him for a long time, also began to make frequent changes with Xiliu, after all, only the Xi family entered the department this year. Shen Ting is also very kept, he promised Xifeng to help Xiliu last year, so he really helped her very hard, before the rally, he almost stayed up all night to help Xiliu check and pick up various affairs, and even the clothes for the rally were prepared for Xiliu. Said: "I see that the young owner's clothes are very stumbling in the past, the assembly is a big event, you are young, you can't let those bosses look down on you, you must be like me, dress flamboyantly and beautifully, so that they can be calmed down." ”
Hearing this, Keiliu twitched, and then thanked him sincerely.
