Chapter 5: Keeping to Yourself
She entered the house, Xu was afraid of disturbing Qi Yunqing's writing, so she deliberately lightened her steps, walked to the bedside and took a set of clean patched clothes, and walked out.
During this period, Qi Yunqing glanced at her, but quickly concentrated on writing again.
Her deliberately low voice came from outside the house, "Mother, I'll rush to the body, and I'll trouble my mother to hand me my clothes later." ”
"Okay."
After she left, Li He stared at the clothes in his hand, glanced at Qi Yunqing who was writing in the room, thought in his heart, and walked in.
"Yunqing, my mother has some things on hand, you remember to hand the clothes to Jin'er later." As he spoke, he placed his garment beside him.
Qi Yunqing glanced at the clothes, a touch of red was very conspicuous in the clothes, his eyes were a little darker, and then he didn't raise his head, and let out a faint "um".
……
Almost a quarter of an hour later, a woman's shout came from outside the house, from a small voice at first, to a louder voice.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
……
Su Jin didn't wait for Li He's echo for a long time, so she stopped shouting, she turned her head to look at the dirty clothes on the dry grass, and was about to reach out to take it.
Suddenly, a corner of the curtain was lifted, and a red belly pocket was handed in, and his eyes touched the big hands with distinct bones, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, and then his cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
But he didn't make a sound, and silently took it and put it on his body.
One person passed one to wear, and it didn't take long for Su Jin to put it on, took a few deep breaths, the blush on her face faded, and she opened the curtain and walked out.
Catching a glimpse of Qi Yunqing still at the door, his eyes fell on his angular side face, and he generously thanked him.
Li He saw through the window of the side house that the two of them had returned to the main house, and the sorrow on their faces had faded a little, and then they continued to do embroidery.
As soon as Su Jin sat down, Qi Yunqing took out a letter from under the book and gave it to her, with the words "and leaving the book" written on it.
This word is magnificent, and the place where the pen is written is clean and neat, but it is a good word.
Qi Yunqing's eyes fell on her face, his expression did not show the slightest sadness and joy, and he unconsciously frowned.
Then I remembered the man's cold voice, "During the time you stay in the Qi family, I hope you don't let your mother know about this." ”
There was a pause or two at this point, "I hope you keep to yourself, and I will leave you with your usual expenses." ”
The meaning of his words, Su Jin naturally understood, this was to warn her not to touch Li He's money again.
At the same time, I sighed in my heart that the mother and son of the Qi family should be really kind, and the original body acted like that, if it was an ordinary person, I am afraid that she would have been kicked out a long time ago, how could she still take money for her to live.
"If you can let me stay in the Qi family for a while, it will be the greatest help to me, as for other things, you don't have to bother."
Hearing this, Qi Yunqing glanced at her, but quickly withdrew his gaze, stopped speaking, and continued to write.
She walked over to the bed and stuffed the book into her pillow, and couldn't help but yawn.
The hot weather really made people a little sleepy, so Su Jin took off her shoes and fell asleep.
I woke up again to be awakened by shouts outside the house.
"Is the eldest sister of the Qi family at home?"
It sounded like Yang Lin's voice, and she remembered that she forgot to tell Qi Yunqing that Yang Lin's family had something to look for him.
She immediately got out of bed, combed her hair with her hands, and said to Qi Yunqing, who was still writing with a pen: "Yunqing, when I was just washing clothes, Aunt Yang told me that I had something to look for you, and I asked her to come back later." ”
Qi Yunqing said "um" lightly, indicating that he already knew.
Then Su Jin went out, and Li He was already in the courtyard to receive Yang Lin's family.
She stood beside her obediently, and said to Yang Lin with a smile: "Second Aunt Yang, you are here." ”
Yang Lin smiled and nodded, this Su family girl seems to be strange and likable now.
Then he remembered something, and handed the vegetables in the basket to Li He, "These are some worthless vegetables grown at home, and my parents-in-law asked me to bring them to you when I came." As he spoke, he handed the basket to Li He.
Li He hurriedly refused, "Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang are not easy to farm, so it's better to keep it and go to the town to exchange some money." ”
"Sister Li, you're welcome, this dish isn't worth a few pennies."
Yang Lin stuffed the basket into her hand strongly, and said with a smile: "Sister of the Qi family, my sister wants to trouble Yunqing to write a letter." ”
Li He said: "They are all from the same village, what is hemp is not troublesome, no matter how polite the sister is, then I won't accept this dish." ”
A few people entered the room while talking, Qi Yunqing closed the book, stood up and said respectfully, "Aunt Yang." ”
Yang Lin glanced at him carefully, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but admire: "Yun Qing's appearance is getting more and more handsome, even a few points more handsome than his father." ”
Qi Yunqing's father, Qi Shan, was the first beautiful man in Crescent Village, and he was well educated.
At that time, the matchmaker who came to the door trampled on the gate of the Qi family, and finally married the daughter of Xiucai from the neighboring village was Li He.
After Li He married into Crescent Village, he was isolated by the women in the village.
Later, Qi Shan went to Beijing to catch the exam, but he didn't return for a long time, and then later, the Qi family separated, and Li He's mother and son only shared a grass house and a pound of bran rice in the mountain.
In fact, everyone in the village understood that the Qi family had driven the mother and son out, and suddenly the women in the village changed to sympathize with Li He.
They secretly guessed that Qi Shan probably married another official lady in the capital, abandoned the wretched wife in the countryside, and the children who were waiting to be fed.
The atmosphere in the room was much quieter in an instant, and Yang Lin also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his expression was annoyed, and he wanted to break his mouth without a door at this moment.
Su Jin probably knew something from the memory of the original body, and sighed in his heart, Li He and Qi Yunqing are also people who have a hard life.
She glanced at Qi Yunqing and smiled at Yang Lin's family: "It is said that the son follows the mother, the mother-in-law is good-looking, and Yunqing is naturally not bad." ”
She laughed out loud as she said "poof", quite jokingly, "I stay with Yunqing and my mother-in-law every day, and I am ashamed of myself. ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room was obviously much warmer, Yang Lin glanced at her gratefully, and echoed with a smile along with her words: "Isn't it, the eldest sister of the Qi family is so young and pretty." ”
What she said was true, when Li He was young, there were few women in the village who could compare.
Qishan?
It's been more than ten years, and no matter how much hatred, resentment and longing there is, it's time to dissipate almost.
After Li He shook his head for a second, he smiled and said angrily: "Sister, don't make fun of me with Jin'er." ”
And Qi Yunqing's face has not changed from beginning to end, that person is not more than the grace of fertility.
The young man also expected that the man would return to the mountain village, and called him Qing'er affectionately.
But as I get older, I understand many things in my heart, and I no longer have extravagant hopes.
His gaze fell on Su Jin's smiling side face, and those apricot eyes were shining brightly.
Seeing that she wanted to turn her head, he withdrew his gaze, took out a piece of letterhead, lifted the pen and said, "Second Aunt Yang, you say." ”
