Chapter 40: A Chance Encounter
Wu Wen shook his head with a smile and said, "I didn't say anything, I just threatened my eldest brother." ”
"Don't mess around, I can still deal with this little thing, and it won't hurt anything." Qingwan guessed a few points when she heard it, and said uneasily.
Wu Wen hurriedly agreed, looked at Qingwan and said, "After all, Mrs. Qin is my mother-in-law, and she can't move, and she can't say anything, but I've wronged you." ”
"What do you and I say about this?" Qingwan said funny, this thing is just annoying, and it can't be a big deal.
"Yes, no."
……
Such days did not last long, and Mrs. Qin returned several times without results, and finally caught up with a Qingwan at home, but she couldn't ask for anything.
Over time, Mrs. Qin didn't want to come as often as before, but she just took advantage of the fact that no one saw something and went back, and Qingwan didn't bother to stop her when she saw it.
On this day, Zi Yan was finally busy with the decoration of the attic, thinking about going outside.
"Childe, look at the clay figurines!"
"Let's take a walk! The best spices, calm down! ”
"Sugar gourd! Sugar gourd! Delicious and sweet sugar gourd......"
……
The market is still very lively, people come and go, and the shouts of hawkers are very mixed, but it is always in such an environment that he can feel a hard-won sense of security.
"Be careful!"
Zi Yan was walking, and his eyes caught a glimpse of a child running too fast and was tripped over, and hurriedly stepped forward to catch him.
The child was startled, looked up and saw the masked child, and immediately began to cry.
Zi Yan hurriedly coaxed: "Don't cry, don't cry!" ”
Who knew that the child cried more and more when he heard this, and the passing crowd stopped pointing because of the child's crying.
Zi Yan grabbed her hair very annoyed when she saw this, and she didn't know what to do, so she could only coax in a low voice: "Don't cry, can I buy you a sugar gourd?" ”
When the child heard the sugar gourd, he stopped crying, but in an instant he started crying again.
"You, is it the first time to be a father, this kid has to be patient." The crowd didn't know who said it, but everyone echoed it.
When Zi Yan heard this, he wanted to explain: "No, I ...... it"
"Isn't it? This is not a shameful thing, how can there be a father who does not love his child, see how much the child cries, hurry up. ”
Zi Yan looked at the child a little helplessly, how could he cry like this, where did he provoke him, and he didn't know whose child it was, so he didn't come to look for it.
"Don't cry, what do you want to eat, can't I buy it?" Zi Yan sat on his lap with the child in his arms and asked in a low voice.
The child stopped crying now, and sobbed and asked, "Really?" ”
"......" Now it's Zi Yan's turn to cry, and he cried for a long time to lie to himself.
"Really, stop crying." Zi Yan looked at the child and said.
Hearing this, the child immediately happily hugged Zi Yan's neck, pointed to the sugar man not far away and said, "I want a sugar man, three!" ”
"Okay." Zi Yan picked him up and wanted to squeeze out of the crowd, but when everyone saw that the child was no longer crying, they dispersed one after another, but their vision was much wider.
Walking towards the sugar man, Zi Yan paused suddenly, looked at the side of the street incredibly, and was so trembling that he almost couldn't even hold the child.
Seeing the man walking towards this side, Zi Yan held his breath for fear of being recognized......
"Sugar man......" The child said as he saw that he had not moved for a long time, and pulled his neck and shook it.
Zi Yan came to his senses at this time, his face was pale and terrifying, if he didn't wear a mask, I am afraid that even children would have to be scared and cry.
Where did Zi Yan dare to go to the sugar man, it was too late to hide, so he coaxed the child and said, "I'll take you to buy a sugar gourd first, and then buy a sugar man." ”
After speaking, he turned around calmly and walked towards the sugar gourd......
"Take a string of sugar gourds." Zi Yan said mechanically, but his eyes were carefully looking at the man, closer, closer, farther and farther, farther and farther away......
The indescribable taste is a blessing or a regret.
"Childe, sugar gourd." The old man handed over the sugar gourd, and when he saw that Zi Yan had not answered, he reminded.
Zi Yan took half a step closer, let the child reach out and take it, reached out and took out a piece of broken silver, handed it over, and turned to leave.
"Childe, this is too much...... the old man took it and looked at it and said quickly, but when he saw that the son walked forward without looking back, he ignored it.
When he walked and walked, he arrived at the candy man stall, but Zi Yan didn't know it, and the child pulled him several times before stopping.
"I want this, this and this!" The child hurriedly pointed to the candy man trick and said to the boss.
Seeing this, the boss didn't dare to do it, but just looked at Ziyan and asked, "Childe, do you see?" ”
When the child saw that the boss refused to do it, he suddenly became anxious, pulled the child and shook it, and cried a little bit when he opened his mouth: "Sugar man." ”
Zi Yan turned his eyes to look at the boss, nodded and replied, "Do it." ”
The boss responded with a smile, and made it neatly in his hands, and after a while, a few lifelike sugar figures were ready.
Zi Yan handed over a few copper coins, and then put the child down and asked, "Do you know where your home is?" ”
The child nodded, looked at him and said, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's okay, let's go back quickly." Zi Yan rubbed the child's head and said with a smile.
Who knew that the child didn't move, handed over a sugar man and said: "My mother said that if you are not happy, you will eat a sugar man, and your heart will not be bitter." ”
"Okay, thank you." Zi Yan took the sugar man and brought it to his mouth like a child to taste it, it was very sweet, but he couldn't suppress the bitterness in his heart......
Seeing the child disappear into the crowd with a wry smile, Zi Yan smiled bitterly and looked at the sugar man and shook his head, turned around and walked towards Yinzhuang.
"Zi Yan, what's going on?" Qingwan raised her eyes and saw Zi Yan's demeanor coming over, something was wrong, and quickly asked.
Zi Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired." ”
The smile was very bitter, seeing that Ziqian didn't want to say, Qingwan couldn't ask any more, so he could only say: "Okay, then you have a good rest, Yinzhuang's affairs are still with us." ”
"I'll go to sleep first." Zi Yan nodded in response and walked towards the third floor.
Wu Wen guessed a few points, but no one said anything about it, it was better to think about it......
Qing Wan family.
Mrs. Qin stood outside the courtyard and watched for a long time, only then did she determine that only Qingmeng was at home, pushed open the door and walked in.
I can understand it, as long as Lin Qingwan is there, I can't get all this.
"Aunt Qin, why are you here?" After Qingmeng saw it, he quickly put down the melon seeds in his hand, stood up and said hello and asked.
Qin Pozi held the shelf, looked at Qingmeng coldly, and then said slowly: "Isn't it?" ”
