Early in the morning of the second day, Zhixing and Zhou Han came back in a carriage, and met Zhigao, who was just about to enter the door with milk, so they helped carry the luggage together. Zhou Han said casually while pushing the door in: "Qi You, this guy ran by himself, and he didn't care about his luggage, but told me to run around early in the morning." ”

Zhixing vaguely sensed why Qi You came, because it involved the return of spring, he couldn't help but play a round for Qi You.

"Come on, you're not here for my sister-in-law's snack."

Zhou Han was not annoyed when he was poked, and replied: "Don't you want to!" ”

"I'm going back in a few days, and it's going to be difficult to take a bite of Sister Chun's craftsmanship!"

Zhixing glanced at him: "Didn't the Guo family copy my sister-in-law's craftsmanship, and the cook also learned the new cold skin in the same way, won't you be able to eat it then." ”

Zhou Han was not very satisfied, and shook his head: "No matter how well others do, they can't make the taste of Sister Chun, and I am used to eating Sister Chun's craftsmanship." ”

A few words back and forth made the spring return who had just come out of it feel gratifying, and she quipped: "What's so difficult about this, when the scientific examination is over, a few masters can come again, give me this shop to support the scene!" ”

The two of them hurriedly looked up and immediately smiled.

"Why did Sister Chun get up so early, when it comes to cool skin, can you make it in the kitchen? I haven't eaten it yet! Zhou Han is a person who climbs up the pole, and he is busy making fun around her, but as soon as he got up today, Qi You, who came out of nowhere, separated him, glanced at him, and said lightly: "I didn't eat, I moved my luggage and came over for breakfast." ”

Zhou Han was suddenly separated and couldn't react for a while, but after he realized it, he saw Qi You take a bucket of milk that Chun Gui had just lifted and sent it to the kitchen.

……

Zhou Han suddenly felt inexplicable, as if he remembered something, looked at the luggage, and hurriedly chased to the kitchen to accuse Qi You.

Chungui could hear him laughing and scolding in the yard: "Run back by yourself, I have to carry the luggage for you!" You did it on purpose! On the last day of school, I was asked to do a coolie! ”

I don't know what Qi You's expression is, but Chungui has already heard that his face is slightly red, and he faintly shows a shy smile.

Zhigao, who turned his head to meet him, also laughed when he heard it, and Chungui suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Although Li Zheng's daughter-in-law talked about it when she came over yesterday, she hadn't passed the gas with him yet, and she couldn't help but think of yesterday's stubble.

According to etiquette, she still opened her mouth to leave a sentence of food, and Zhigao happened to rush back to take care of the fields today, Daddy Li was not convinced that the boss wanted to go up the mountain and go down to the field, but in the end he was old, Zhigao was not at ease, so he thought about rushing ahead of him to do all the work.

After listening to the reason, Chun Gui also nodded: "Grandpa Li is still more caring for him at this age, Second Brother Li might as well ask Grandpa and Grandma, if you are free, you would like to come to live at home for a few days, I think Brother Li and Zhiyuan are also often worried." ”

Li Zhigao nodded hurriedly: "Done!" I'll go back and ask! ”

When Qi You and Zhou Han came out of the kitchen again, Li Zhigao had already left, and Qi You's complexion eased visibly.

The family sat around and ate breakfast, and there was one more willow kernel, and when the spring returned to the spring, he told a few people about the decision to plant sweet potatoes in Xiaoliangshan. Several of them are smart, and Chungui's intention to help doesn't need her to say it to think of it, since it is Chungui's decision, they don't mean to refute it, they just hope that there will be a good reward for their kindness, don't let it down again.

Because the three talented men are here, it is inevitable to mention the scientific examination. The person sent by Zhou Han's family to pick him up has already arrived, and in order to be able to do more activities in Kyoto, he must go up as soon as possible, and the day of departure must be set earlier.

Speaking of which, Chun Gui hurriedly explained to Zhou Han what Miss Guo asked him that day, this is not a big deal, but it is just a matter of walking together for a while, and it is always good to take care of each other on the road, but Zhou Han was just about to respond, and Zhixing suddenly opened his mouth.

"Although it's only a five-day drive, it's not safe for her to be a girl, so let's just go together."

Zhou Han nodded hurriedly: "That's right, it's just a matter of the way." ”

This is also in line with the meaning of the spring return: "In this case, I have to bring her a message later, so that she can also prepare as soon as possible." ”

Zhixing drank a bowl of soup, wiped his mouth, and said casually: "You don't have to run on this hot day, I'll go." ”

Chungui shook his head and disagreed: "You just came back, go and sleep first, it's convenient for me to go over and go over." ”

"It's okay, I'm not tired, my sister-in-law and Sister Cai are busy in the kitchen every day, and Ah Rong is busy in front every day, so I can't spare much time, I'll go there later."

Saying this, Chun Gui had no choice but to nod: "Okay, fortunately, it's not far away, just bring a piece of jerky to Young Master Guo, and when I come back, my sister-in-law will make you some herbal tea to drink." ”

Only then did Zhixing pick up the spoon again, scoop a bowl of porridge, and drank it in a big gulp.

Others didn't pay attention, only Qi You glanced at him nonchalantly.

Although Chungui was very reluctant to return, he knew that day would come, and the things that had been prepared for half a moon had to be handed over to them.

Clothes and odds and bits have been prepared for a long time, and the jerky has been made since yesterday, because of the large portions, there is still a pot to be made today.

After dinner, Chun Gui counted these things a little, and gave a copy to Zhou Han.

"There are not many rabbit fur and muntjac skins, I gave it to Zhixing Qiyou early to keep, I think there will be no shortage of such a piece at home, don't eat it at this time, Sister Chun has earned a lot of money this year, buy some good skins next year, and make your share."

"There are a lot of medicinal herbs and snacks, I have prepared them in different categories, some are for headache and brain fever, and some are cool and antipyretic, and the snacks are easy to store, and it is convenient to take them to the place for scientific research."

She took out bags of things, and Zhou Han in front of her was already stunned.

I came here last year just to hide from the expectations of the elders in the family, and I wanted to play in the mountains and rivers for a while, but I never thought that I would make friends here, and I met such a gentle and tough woman.

She wrapped up his food and drink like an eldest sister, and told him to treat this place as another home, which made him feel warm when he thought about it occasionally, but he never thought that this package still had his share today.

The degree of food and clothing is all fine and thoughtful.

In other words, at home, it is just prepared by the people below, which is expensive and numerous, but it lacks a thoughtfulness between family members.

He blinked, and his former cheekiness suddenly disappeared, and he opened his mouth but was dumb and speechless.

The spring return is still busy, and the purses with dried mint slices are clean, and the kraft paper is stacked inside.

"You all remember, when you are annoyed by writing in it, you will take a piece of it, and my sister Cai has cleaned the purse and the kraft paper inside, and they are all clean."

said that all the things that were counted were placed in front of Zhou Han in the same way, she raised her eyes and smiled:

"You're leaving, when they come back, you don't have to, there are many rules in Kyoto, everyone has their own fate and things to bear, but Sister Chun still welcomes you, come back when you are free or want to, and leave a room for you at home!"

Zhou Han's eyes were flushed, and he looked at the row of small boxes and cloth bags and still stood dry and did not speak.

This is an extremely intelligent woman, and when he knows this, he will be sad to live the cheap and good life he has now.

Chungui smiled faintly: "There are still many days!" You go back and pack up what you should pack up, and then come back to stay for a few days, and I will cook you a few more days of delicious food, and I will send you for a while on the sixth day of the new year. ”

The sixth day of the new year is the time to leave.

Zhou Han sniffed and suddenly laughed: "...... Who said that I won't be able to come back in the future, how can it be easy to be a Beijing official, in the future, I will ask a petty official to do it, and find a vacancy in the state capital not far from here, and I can still come over often! ”

"My parents and brothers are all in the ministry, it's too easy for me to come out!"

Although he knew that Zhou Han was from an official family, he had never heard him mention family matters, which was the first time.

Spring return is not easy for him to say, since ancient times, officialdom is intricate, Zhou Han has such a good knowledge, the family must be given a high hope, how can there be such a random future.

Zhou Han was a little anxious when he saw that they didn't take it seriously.

"Really! Although my father and brother are strict, my mother loves me! The family said that there was no shortage of me! ”

Only Chungui said with a serious face at this moment: "Don't joke about the future, you have a world when you go home, and we won't run here." ”

Zhou Han was speechless for a moment, and sighed: "Got it." ”

The items that have been prepared for a long time are divided separately, and there is a whole pot of dried meat to be made in the afternoon, and after a few words of fine instructions, Zhou Han is in a depressed mood, he took a piece of dried meat and gnawed it without scruples, and just wanted to go out with it but was stopped by Qi You.

He hurriedly turned around: "What's wrong?" ”

He was silent when Chun Gui distributed things, until she went out, he never spoke, Zhou Han didn't pay attention for a long time, but at this moment, he saw that his expression was extremely serious, and he looked at him solemnly and said, "I have something to tell you." ”

……

Zhou Han also thought about it in the past, which one of the kind, tenacious and intelligent girls like Chungui should be worthy, he thought about those high-ranking nobles in Kyoto, and denied them one by one, not because of the class of the two parties, but because there is indeed a different difference between the characters.

I also thought about whether Zhixing's eldest brother would be more comfortable than now if his eldest brother was still there, and he could see her heartfelt happiness every day, and when he asked Zhixing about his old days, he felt that it would not be anymore, and there was no time to make her happier than now.

Until today, from Qi You, his best friend, he heard the words that made him unable to slow down at the moment......

The three of them finally fell silent.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Han opened his mouth: "...... Are you serious? ”

Qi You nodded slowly: "There is nothing more important than this." "The album and the scientific expedition are all for the purpose of one day being able to tell everyone about this openly and honestly, and then take it over in a beautiful way.

He looked at Zhixing again: "...... Do you agree? ”

Zhixing faded away from the stubbornness of the past: "I don't need my consent to this, I ...... I also believe in Qi You. ”

In an instant, tranquility was restored, and Zhixing turned his head to look at Qi You, his eyes flashing with unease.

is not as good as them, although Zhou Han has a bold and uninhibited temperament, he is a well-grown scholar under the etiquette, and he doesn't know what he will think of such a thing.

Zhixing was slightly uneasy, but Qi You was unusually calm, just calmly waiting for his reaction.

There was silence for a few more moments......

Zhou Han finally opened his mouth: "That is ...... so"

He looked up: "...... I will definitely stand on Sister Chun's side when I arrive, Zhixing and I are both Sister Chun's maiden family, and you can only retreat as a close friend. ”

The face was full of seriousness, and there was no longer the hesitation just now.

Zhi Xing: ......

Qi You: ......

Catching a glimpse of the solemnity in his eyes, Zhixing somehow suddenly laughed.

Qi You hooked the corners of his mouth: "Definitely." ”

The three of them, you look at me, I look at you, and they all smiled.

And outside the door, Chungui, who had stood for an unknown amount of time, slowly hooked the corners of his mouth.
