The rain was a little lighter that day, and Chungui wrapped some brown sugar and half a piece of ginger for Daddy Li. Zhiyuan was still a little reluctant when he left, lying on Daddy Li and quietly looking at Zhiping, Zhiping Zhimin stayed at the door until he couldn't see anyone before coming in.

Chun Hui didn't hide it from them, and said at the dinner table that Zhiyuan would be like Xiaobao in two days, and often came to the house to read and read together. Zhiping immediately cheered: "Sister-in-law! I love this brother! He's so well-behaved, even better than me! ”

Zhixing didn't look at it: "That's my brother, a few years older than you!" ”

Zhiping immediately changed his words: "Then I like this brother!" ”

Chungui only said this matter, as for letting Zhiping go to study with her after the year, she didn't say anything, and when she had saved enough, it would not be too late for her to speak.

As soon as the days were clear, she thought about going to the shopkeeper Qi, and she had sixteen paintings on hand, which were two sets of pictures of the four seasons, and the four pictures were put together to form a complete set of pictures. The two sets of drawings are divided into colored and uncolored. Zhixing and Qi You also wrote a total of eight poems.

The paintings are all ordinary painters can paint, the spring return is just a little careful to stimulate consumption, everyone has a collection habit in their hearts, looking at the four fans to make a complete painting has a full sense of achievement.

She didn't think about taking a few small ones with her on this trip, after all, it was tiring to walk for two quarters of an hour on the mountain road. She originally planned to let Zhixing and Qi You, the two big ones, look at a few small ones, but she didn't expect Qi You to propose that he wanted to go to the street with her.

Chungui looked at Qi You's legs, frowned, and said, "Can you walk for so long with this leg?" "Two quarters of an hour is not too long, but it is a mountain road, and it is inevitable to bump.

Qi You rubbed his fingertips, and didn't know how to answer, if he said that it was not good, then he would not be able to go to the market, but he had his own plans, and he must go today; If he did, then there would be no reason for him to stay here any longer.

He was silent for a while before he raised his eyes and said, "It's almost better, Ben didn't hurt his muscles and bones, and I have something to buy this time." ”

Chun Gui's face was happy: "Then it couldn't be better!" "Although it didn't hurt my muscles and bones, it was already winter, and it was really difficult to feel inconvenient for my legs and feet. She didn't notice the hesitation on the young man's face in front of her.

Qi You gritted his teeth, opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "Since it's all right, when I come back from the market, I'll move back." ”

He took the initiative to mention it, and it was better to mention it casually when he returned to spring.

But he didn't expect that as soon as these words came out, the whole family was stunned.

Zhiping was the most uncomfortable, and immediately jumped up and hugged Qi You's arm and said, "Why, doesn't Brother Qi You live with us?" ”

He tilted his head, his eyes full of bewilderment.

Zhimin also pursed her mouth, but she also knew that her sister-in-law was the master of the family, and she looked at her with a blank eye. Even Xiaobao was a little puzzled, but he also looked at it obediently.

After eating and living together for more than a month, several children have long been accustomed to Qi You's days at home.

Qi You tried his best to hook the corners of his mouth, he lowered his head and touched Zhiping's head, trying to be as open-minded as possible: "Brother is the same next door." ”

Zhiping's mouth immediately pruned down, and the corners of his eyes were red and wanted to cry.

Zhixing is old, although he knows how to make sense, but he is very happy to let Qi You stay, and he also knows that his sister-in-law agrees to this matter.

Chun Gui was also stunned for a long time, like these children, she had already rowed Qi You under her wings these days, even Qi You just said that her legs and feet were all right, she was just happy, she didn't expect him to have to go back to the next door.

Almost immediately, she thought of why Qi You took the initiative to mention it.

She had to think of the words of a few relatives of the Cheng family when Qi You injured his leg and foot, there were people like the Cai family in this village who praised her for her kindness, and people like the Li Zheng family who knew her character and understood her difficulties, but there were also people who gossiped about her taking a fourteen-year-old child with a different surname to live in the Liu family.

She knew that Qi You was so smart and clear.

But what Qi You didn't know was that she never cared about this, she did all the good things that should be done, and the favors that should be fought were all in place, from the earliest Lizheng to the recent Daddy Li's family, she left a positive image on people, and these are part of the support for their family to survive in a small mountain village. Those who are bent on digging out their minds and insisting on splashing her with dirty water, don't they also care about her good reputation in the village and dare not talk about it on the surface, they can't hurt their family, so Qi You will stay and stay......

Thinking of this, she immediately called out to him: "Qi You." ”

The young man looked up, and in the indescribable emotion in his eyes, Chun Gui accurately captured a trace of hope.

Her heart was sour, and she smiled: "Stay." ”

She came here alone, and the young man in front of her was also alone, since the Liu family accepted her, then she also accepted this young man.

The young man froze in place, a little helplessness flashing in his eyes.

There were a few smaller ones who reacted faster than Qi You, Zhiping immediately cheered, the corners of his eyes were no longer red, the corners of his mouth were not lowered, Zhixing also smiled, picked up Zhiping and ran back and forth, so frightened that Chungui immediately stopped laughing, and hurriedly chased behind: "Be careful!" Don't fall! ”

Xiaobao and Zhimin also laughed behind them, and in the chaos, Qi You's stunned expression gradually faded again, and he clearly heard the sound surging in his chest, bursting for a while, as if he was screaming for his new life. He looked at the family chasing after him, and he never felt so much that he was a part of it.

For more than a month, his clothes have already moved to Liu's house one by one, and the next door has long become an empty shell, and the room where he lives has gradually become decent under the arrangement of Chungui again and again.

Everything was ready, and it seemed that he was just waiting for the person to come.

After saying that, Chun Gui was also relieved, as if it had been so long, she just had to let this sentence go out of her heart.

She stopped and turned her head to look at Qi You, and the two looked at each other in tacit understanding, and at the same time hooked the corners of their mouths.

-

After dinner, Father Li took his two grandsons to send half a basket of eggs to the spring home, more than a dozen of them, and he also brought his two grandsons to recognize the door.

A few people said that they were going to the street tomorrow, and Daddy Li hurriedly said: "Tomorrow, my family Zhicun is going to catch up with the small workers, and by the way, he sold a bunch of skins that Zhigao had saved, and he borrowed the donkey cart of the village chief's family, which is just right to send you away!" ”

Daddy Li's eldest grandson is called Li Zhicun, he learned carpentry at the age of fifteen, and now he is twenty years old, and he often takes jobs in the town, and the second grandson is called Li Zhigao, who is now eighteen years old, and learned hunting with the two brothers Chen Shi. The two grandsons have no intention of taking the imperial examination, and only want to earn money to support the family.

Chun Gui was overjoyed and looked at Qi You: "That's really thank you, Brother Li!" ”

Li Zhicun was tanned and thin, a little embarrassed, touching his head and shaking his head.

Several people set a time, and the Li family left.

Just after dawn on the second day, Li Zhicun waited at the door of Liu's house. He sat in front of him in a donkey cart, Chungui and Qi You sat at both ends, the mountain wind in winter was biting cold, and the two of them were still a little unbearable when they were dressed thickly, Qi You looked at Chungui who was spitting cold air, and deliberately turned sideways to block it, but despite this, Chungui was still so cold that his hands were red.

Fortunately, it was supposed to take two quarters of an hour to walk, but the donkey cart arrived in a quarter of an hour. Qi You looked at Chungui's hands for a long time, sighed and didn't say a word.

It doesn't matter if she returns in the spring, she doesn't have to walk to save her feet and makes her happy for a long time, she rubbed her red hands and thanked Li Zhicun.

The three of them parted at the entrance of the market, Qi You explained yesterday that he had something to buy, and after Chungui asked if the money was enough, he followed him, and the two made an appointment to wait at the meat stall.

There were people on the street, and Chun Hui was holding a basket of drawings, and he intended to find a few readers to look at the folding fans in his hands. It's a pity that there are few people, so she had to do the right thing first, and followed her memory to the door of "Qingzheng Yaju".

The shop opened early, and unlike when I came back, two of the three layers of fans were replaced by the four flowers of the gentleman she had drawn.

The heart she was carrying was put down, and if the shopkeeper could display the fan she had painted, then the folding fan would definitely sell well!

She took a closer look, and there was a brocade box with four fans embedded on the top floor, and the fan handle exposed outside was carved with the four characters of Meilan, bamboo chrysanthemum and four flowers, and the fan pendant of the fan handle was also a wooden flower.

Chungui shook his head and smiled, as long as a business person clicked through one door, the rest of the doors would naturally open.

As soon as she wanted to call someone, the second child from the last time came out.

Xiao Er yawned, and as soon as he looked up and saw that it was the spring return, he woke up immediately from drowsiness, and ran into the room before he could say hello to her, shouting as he ran: "Shopkeeper!" Last time, that girl came! ”

Seeing his excitement, the last bit of uneasiness in Chungui's heart disappeared.

This fan must be selling very well!

Sure enough, the shopkeeper ran out after a while: "Where! Go and pour tea for that little lady! ”

ran to the outside room and saw someone, and the shopkeeper immediately smiled and narrowed his face: "Oh, the little lady!" I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”

Chungui made a small salute and asked intentionally: "Shopkeeper Qi, is business good?" ”

The shopkeeper clapped his palm: "The little lady, your painting is really amazing!" ”

Chungui smiled and said modestly: "The shopkeeper Qi has a business experience, this pendant, the carving of the fan handle is wonderful. ”

The shopkeeper Qi said "hi" and waved his hand: "It is also the unique way of selling the little lady's packaging, so I thought of this trick with the icing on the cake." ”

That day, he directly took the painting sample to find the painter who cooperated on weekdays, the painter looked like he was taught, took the original painting and looked at it for a long time, and was stunned to copy more than a dozen pictures overnight, but a few days of effort, more than a dozen sets of fans were made, put on the shop but in the morning, a reader Lang saw it and called another, he explained the meaning of the four-flower gentleman fan with the same person, and immediately there was a son-in-law brother who bought a whole set, he set a fan of fifteen wen, and the price of the ordinary fan was twice as high, and those people did not hesitate to buy.

There are also some scholars who praise the poems on the folding fans, and also use the meaning of the four flowers to write poems.

The reading lang in this town is not worse than the township life, although the two places are only separated by two quarters of an hour, but a mountain is separated by more than the economic level, the knowledge and action of the mountain and Qi You to the fan in order to make money, the reading lang outside the mountain to buy a fan vassal elegance.

More than a dozen sets of fans were sold out in two days, and then the shopkeeper came to the business and began to make a fuss about the box, fan pendant, and fan handle of the fan. These hardcover fans made him make a lot of money in a few days, thinking of this, the shopkeeper Qi couldn't help but look up at the girl in front of him again.

Now there are a number of fans that are still in a hurry, and those have already been ordered.

The shopkeeper looked at the basket in Chungui's hand, and his eyes lit up.

"This is the new painting of Yue Niangzi?!"
