Chapter 17: Living in Liu's House (2)

Li Zheng didn't look at them after speaking, he just turned his head to look at Qi You, who was half-lying on the bed and hanging his head, the thin and bitter appearance of a month and a half ago was long gone, and now there is meat on his face, and the knot between his eyebrows and eyes has disappeared without a trace. He looked at Chun Gui again, the kid held his breath, just looking at the wound on Qi You's leg.

At this time, Zhixing was coming in through the door, carefully holding a bowl of water in his hand. He didn't know about the dispute in the room, so he just walked and said:

"Hurry up, Qi You, drink a bowl of sugar water slowly."

Qi You took it and drank it one by one.

Zhixing only then had time to look at the wound on his leg, frowned, and said loudly: "Oh, Qi You, you are so badly injured, let's stop our homework first!" ”

The tone is exaggerated and funny, but it breaks the heavy atmosphere.

Chun Gui said angrily when he heard this: "Nonsense again, Qi You is injured, why do you have to stop your homework!" ”

Qi You raised his eyes and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then let's review my homework here every day." ”

Zhixing immediately looked depressed.

Chungui pursed his lips and didn't say anything, and no one spoke.

Qi You continued to drink unhurriedly and in small sips until he drank a whole bowl of sweet sugar water, and his mouth was full of sweet and greasy taste.

After a long time, finally, Li Zheng couldn't help but knock on Zhixing's head: "Stinky boy, you are diligent every day, and you have a long face for Chungui and a long face for your Liu family earlier." ”

Chungui breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Zheng responded to it.

"My fame is the same as knowing and doing and having fame, both of them are for Sister Chun to have a long face." Qi You glanced at Chun Gui, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile: "Besides, Uncle Li Zheng, when he went to private school, Zhixing was the student that Qi Xiucai praised most often." ”

Zhixing was happy, and hurriedly echoed: "That's it, Qi You and I have the same fame in the exam!" ”

Li Zheng saw that he didn't mention the Cheng family in his mouth, and he also knew it in his heart. There is no one in the family who is sincere, but the Liu family protects them with their hearts and lungs, and who is not cold.

He sighed, gave a few more words of advice, and the two couples left. When Lu Cheng's relatives were in the house, Li Zheng was stunned and didn't take a look. Chun Gui only treated them as if they were not there, did not greet or rush people, and after a while, several people also left in a huff.

The two Chen brothers stayed until the end, put down a basket of mushrooms, and left a pheasant: "Spring return sister, this chicken is kept for Qi You to stew a soup to make up for it, today is the fault of the two of us, I'm really embarrassed." ”

The two brothers apologized again and again, and in their words, they regarded Chungui as Qi You's closest relative.

Chun Gui hurriedly followed, turned around and took Zhixing out, and sent the two to the courtyard.

The room was finally completely quiet.

Qi You looked out of the house calmly, the tip of his nose lingering with the smell of no one living in the room for a long time, exactly the same as the smell when he moved into the old house the day before, but his state of mind was turned upside down.

He touched the wound that was tightly tied, and looked around the hut, but the corners of his mouth were lightly hooked, Sister Chun knew that he was arrogant, and Li Zheng knew that he was in a thin situation, but no one knew what he was thinking, such as at this moment, he was very glad to have injured this leg.

-

After Chun Gui sent the two brothers away, he said a few words to Zhixing. Zhixing immediately trotted to the next room, and after a while, he came over with a stack of clothes. She took the clothes in Zhixing's hand, and asked him to sort out Qi You's book and send it to the room.

Daddy Liu chose a good location for building this house, and each room had a window, and the sun could shine in when the window was opened, and the house was bright in the evening. Although there was still some smell in the room, it must have dissipated quickly.

Chungui took the stack of clothes in his hand and opened an empty box.

She opened her mouth as she put them down: "I cleaned these two boxes two days ago, and they were originally used to hold those fan paintings. Now you use this bite first, and I put all the clothes here, and I usually use them. ”

"And most of the books you read on weekdays are in Zhixing, and now Zhixing is in order, and I will ask him to bring the rest of the books next door and put them here. Before your legs are full, you and Zhixing are both studying here. ”

Chungui closed the box and got up to look at him: "Is this good?" ”

She has everything she does, how can Qi You be unreasonable. He got up slightly, and said with a sincere look in his eyes: "Everything is up to Sister Chun." ”

Chun Gui's heart softened, and he said slowly: "Also, we can still not go to this mountain, now there are more than a dozen chickens in the yard, and there are fish in the pond, and there is no shortage of those things in the mountains." What's more, we still have work at hand, I will try to draw this fan as fast as possible, you and Zhixing are really empty, so we will compose poems. ”

Chun Gui was scared, Li Zheng said that if he was disabled, he would not be able to take the imperial examination, and now the child's future was almost ruined. This time I only hurt my muscles and bones, and if there is a next time, it will not be a bigger problem.

How could Qi You not understand what she meant, and nodded obediently when he heard the words: "Sister Chun has painted today?" ”

Seeing that he agreed, Chun Gui was relieved, and got up again to look at his injured leg: "It's drawn, and when you are almost better in a few days, you and Zhixing have two pictures of one person." ”

Chungui remembered something, and said with annoyance: "It's done, I originally wanted to make you roasted fish to eat today, but now you still don't eat it." I'm going to dispose of the pheasant sent by Brother Chen, you have a good rest. After saying that, he pulled a quilt over him and covered half of his body.

Qi You watched her go out, and then leaned back.

The joy in my heart has not dissipated for a long time.

There is no trivial matter in the mountain village, and a little news can spread in less than a quarter of an hour. After Li Zheng's family sent away the third person who came to inquire about the news, Li Zheng finally got annoyed and directly asked his son to close the wooden door in the yard.

It was dinner time, and while serving food from the kitchen, Lizheng's daughter-in-law was talking to the rest of the family about the Liu family.

Li Zheng's father sat in the right seat, smoking an old cigarette and listening.

Li Zheng frowned: "Dad, look at it, it's been so long, Cheng Tianbao's couple didn't even come over to go through the motions." It's a younger brother who is connected to the bloodline, and he refuses to even take a look. ”

Cheng Tianbao's house was not far from the Liu family, but even the Cai family hurriedly walked from the door of their house with their son to visit, and they didn't see his own brother come to the door.

Li Zheng's father shook his head: "Although you are a Li Zheng, you can't take care of other people's affairs." What's more, the two brothers of the Cheng family have been separated by you personally, and it is just reasonable that the boss of the Cheng family will not show up. ”

As he spoke, he bent down and knocked on the cigarette stick, was silent for a long time, then looked up and said, "Listen to you, Qi You said that the imperial examination is also for the girl who returned to Chun with a long face?" ”

Li Zheng sighed and nodded: "This kid is self-careful and tenacious, at that time, God kept the money to prevent him from studying, and he was stunned until he was eleven years old, but he was admitted to the top of the children's list in only one year, and he will be a promising one if he can't keep it in the future." ”

"I think he means it's chilling."

When Cheng Tianbao just married his daughter-in-law, he was forced to take away the bundle prepared by Cheng's father and mother for his youngest son. The bundle of six taels of silver for three years was tightly hidden by the couple, and a pair of fathers and mothers cried and begged but failed to get the silver back, and finally Cheng's father and mother had no children, so they scraped together and borrowed it to their house. He still remembered that Qi You was taller than the children of the same age in the village, and his eyes looked at the other brother who was cursing without waves, he thought that this child didn't seem to care about whether he could go to school, but he didn't expect to be admitted to Tongsheng a year later. After that, he realized the resilience in the child's chest.

After the child was born, the village chief and the head of the Cheng family spoke, and Cheng Tianbao did not dare to take the lead.

It was only two years after I didn't think about it, and the Cheng family's father and mother were gone, and then there was a big drought and the family was separated.

Thinking about it now, Qi You has never breathed this breath in his heart so far.

Li Zheng saw that his father also thought of this, and he didn't say anything, and smoked a dry cigarette vigorously.

"Who is not chilling? Don't you see, the old aunts of the Cheng family are holding their minds and talking nonsense, Qi You is not the root of her old Cheng family? I feel sorry for any innocent words on a fourteen-year-old child. ”

Lizheng's daughter-in-law brought out the last bowl of dishes, and the family sat around eating and chatting. Li continued: "I think it's good for Qi You to live in the Liu family. In the past, the sister of the Liu family was originally good with the sister-in-law of the Cheng family, but now Qi You is better with Zhixing, the two children are now going to school together, and they will be officials in the imperial examination in the future, and I will see what Cheng Tianbao's face is. ”

"If you think this way, others may think the same way. A few days ago, there was a lot of talk in the village, but it also hindered Qi You from being an adult, and the two families had a friendship, so they didn't dare to say it in the open. ”

Li Zheng pointed outside: "The days are long, and when the children are older, and the spring return has that layer of identity, then you can only avoid suspicion." ”

Li sneered: "Didn't I say it, since Chungui hasn't passed the door, she is still a serious girl, and she can be married in the future." Could it be that the Liu clan is really shameless and shameless to let her be a half-grown girl for the rest of her life? ”

Speaking of this, a shocking thought suddenly popped up in Li's heart, and she was shocked by her hand holding chopsticks.

If........ If it is Qi You and Spring Return....... The two are together, so there is no need to avoid this......

Thinking of this, she hurried back to her senses, unreliable things, I don't want to think about it!

The Liu family also had a meal here, and the mushrooms that Qi You picked back were washed and stewed with bones, just to complement the shape with form. The two eggs laid by the pheasant were fried with the cucumbers. Cai had just brought Xiaobao over to visit, thinking that he didn't have the heart to cook today, so he brought a bowl of handmade pickles. Thinking about Qi You's injury, today is a light dish.

Chungui was afraid that he would bump into something when he walked, so he divided a separate one and put a small table in front of his bed.

Zhiping and Zhimin ate quickly, the two children were scared today, and after eating, they ran to Qi You's bed and looked at his injured leg on their stomachs.

When Chungui came in, the two children had already shrunk to the corner of the bed, and Qi You was reaching out to touch Zhiping and Zhimin's heads to comfort them.

The young man's face was cold, but his eyes were unusually gentle: "My brother doesn't hurt very much, because he is only happy to be able to live with Zhiping and Minmin these days." ”
