Chapter 157: Little Brother
When Fei Ge'er heard that she was going to study, her attention shifted a lot, she looked at Liu Sanniang, and asked hesitantly, "Mother, can I also study in school?" ”
Liu Sanniang hugged him and didn't make a sound.
Studying is a lot of expenses, and now the situation at home is not an exaggeration to say that they are poor and white, and the family has no land, where can they afford to send Fei Ge'er to school.
"I will send Fei Ge'er's bundles and paper and pen fees in the future, so don't worry about my mother." Yu Jiao said and stuffed the silver money into Liu Sanniang's hand.
Liu Sanniang refused to accept it, looked at Yu Qizhen, and said, "This money lady can't ask for it, you ...... You take it back, and your mother is not short of money. ”
Yu Jiao thought that she was mindful of Yu Qizhen, and explained, "I earned this money by myself, and if I can do it, you can accept it, and if there is something, you can also respond to emergencies." ”
Yu Qiyu also said, "Mother-in-law, this is Jiaojiao's filial piety." ”
Liu Sanniang took it at this time, she thought about it, and said to Yu Jiao, "You come with me." ”
Liu Sanniang walked inside, and Yu Jiao followed.
After Yu Jiao entered the house, Liu Sanniang put down the curtain of the inner room, climbed into bed, buried herself in the old cabinet at the head of the bed, took out a bunch of old clothes, and found a small burden at the bottom of the cabinet, in which several old clothes were still wrapped.
She untied her baggage, took out the bottom of a garment, and unfolded it lightly, revealing a milky white jade ring with a red wisp.
Liu Sanniang carefully took out the jade ring, handed it to Yu Jiao, and said with a cautious expression, "This peace jade buckle was left to you by your father, you keep it well, be sure to carry it closely, and don't show it easily." ”
Yu Jiao took the jade button, and gently rubbed her fingertips, the mellow texture was excellent, although she didn't understand jade, but this jade button was very good when she looked at the materials.
Yu Jiao couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in her heart, Liu Sanniang was not close to her daughter, if this jade buckle was taken out of the pawnshop, it should be able to replace some silver, even if it was left by her father, why did she have to hand it over to her?
"Hide yourself and don't let anyone see you." Liu Sanniang whispered.
Yu Jiao tucked the jade buckle in her arms, Liu Sanniang looked at her, her expression was complicated, she wanted to speak and stopped, and sighed and admonished, "Now the fifth brother's body is already very good, and it is also your blessing, you must serve your husband well, honor your in-laws, and live a good life in the future, don't worry about me and Fei Ge'er." ”
Yu Jiao replied in a low voice, the mother and daughter had nothing to say, Liu Sanniang got off the bed, put on her shoes and socks, and said to Yu Jiao, "You should go back." ”
Yu Jiao followed her out of the room, and Yu Qiyu didn't know what he had done outside the house, but Fei Ge'er was talking to him.
"Let's go." Yu Jiao said loudly.
Yu Qizhen touched Fei Ge'er's head, and walked outside with Yu Jiao.
Fei Ge'er followed behind the two with a reluctant face, and Meng Dafu in the courtyard took advantage of this moment to build up the collapsed courtyard wall, Liu Sanniang thanked him and sent the three out of the courtyard.
As soon as Yu Jiao took a few steps, Fei Ge'er caught up and threw herself into her arms, and said in a crying voice, "Sister, you have to come back to see me from time to time." ”
Yu Jiao agreed softly, "Brother Fei'er has grown up, and she can't cry anymore." ”
Fei Ge'er nodded vigorously, held back the tears in his eyes, and said obediently, "I listen to Sister A's words, don't cry...... Sister also has to talk about it,"
Yu Jiao hugged him, couldn't bear to let go of her hand, and walked away with Yu Qiyi, when she was about to arrive in front of Yu Huangqi's house, she glanced back, although she couldn't see clearly, but there was still a small figure standing on the road, Yu Jiao sighed lightly.
Yu Qiyu patted her hand soothingly, Yu Jiao retracted her gaze, smiled at him, and the two followed Meng Dafu into their yard.
"Sister-in-law, my fifth brother and I will go back now." Yu Jiao said goodbye to Yu Astragalus.
Yu Huangqi hurriedly said, "My mother-in-law is already cooking, and when the meal is served, let your uncle drive the donkey cart to send you back." ”
Yu Jiao said politely, "No need, it's still early, don't bother my uncle, I'll walk back with my fifth brother." ”
Yu Astragalus had urged Meng Dafu to lead the donkey cart, Yu Qi stopped him, and the old lady of the Meng family also walked out of the stove room, she was still holding vegetables in her hands, with a smile on her face, and said enthusiastically, "It's hard to come here, and then come back after eating at home, how can you leave without eating?" ”
Yu Jiao smiled and said, "No, we'll go back." ”
Bidding farewell to Yu Huangqi's family, Yu Jiao and Yu Qiyu left Mengjia Village and returned to Qingyu Village.
It's late summer, and the trail is lined with weeds, lush trees, breezes, clattering leaves, and birds chirping in the fields.
Yu Jiao couldn't help but pick a cluster of wildflowers, got closer and smelled it, and there was a faint fragrance.
Yu Qiyu looked at her cheerful figure, her peach blossom eyes were full of warm light, and she said softly, "Where I am in the future, it will be your home." ”
Yu Jiao looked back at him and tasted the meaning of his words, probably because he saw Liu Sanniang's cold attitude towards her daughter, so he said this.
She hooked her lips and smiled, "Okay." You are my brother now, and if someone bullies me in the future, you must protect me, and if I do not want to marry in the future, you must support me. ”
The little girl stood on the path, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her smiling eyes were kind, Yu Qiyu's heart moved slightly, she approached, took her hand, looked at her with burning peach blossom eyes, and responded gently, "Okay." ”
Yu Jiao picked out small red flowers from her hands, stood on tiptoe and stuffed them into his ears, and her beautiful and beautiful face was very suitable for this wild flower.
Yu Jiaoxing's smile spread out little by little, and she let out a string of laughter like silver bells.
Yu Qiyu saw that she was in a better mood, and she no longer seemed to be uncomfortable because of Liu Sanniang's mother and son, hooked the corners of her lips, let her play tricks on herself, and did not pick off the wildflowers that hindered the view, but also pulled out red wildflowers from Yu Jiao's hands, inserted them in her hair, and said softly, "I want to raise you in this life to protect you, should you call your brother?" ”
Yu Jiao's cheeks showed pink, and her delicate little face revealed a touch of shyness, she held the little flower, turned away, and refused to speak.
Yu Qiyu chuckled lightly and said, "Or a little brother is also okay, I remember when you were injured and needed to use me, but you were a little brother." ”
Hearing him mention the word 'little brother', Yu Jiao's face was even more red, and even her ears were dyed red.
She remembered how disgusted he was!
"Didn't you scold me for being shameless, so I shouldn't call you." The shy voice carried a coquettishness that Yu Jiao herself didn't even notice.
Yu Qizhen smiled slowly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, at that time, he didn't know that he would be so interested in Yu Jiao now, thinking of Yu Jiao's bloody legs, Yu Qizhen regretted it for no reason in his heart, he knew that today, he should have protected her desperately.
"It's me who is not good." Yu Qiyu said softly.
Yu Jiao snorted lightly, still refusing to call out the words of her brother, and went forward lightly, she didn't know each other at that time, but now she can't say anything.
