The eldest girl replied, and went to the courtyard wall to get a broom to clean the yard, and Qiao Ruyi also went back to the kitchen to wash pots and pans.

Time passed quickly, the sun went down, Qiao Ruyi settled the wages for the Xu family, the eldest girl, and Xue Qingshan, and sent them out.

It didn't take long for Qiao Laixing and Qiao Nina to come back together.

Qiao Ruyi let the two rest for a while, and then came to the kitchen to eat.

Sister, Mrs. He praised me, saying that I embroidered well and learned quickly.

Qiao Ruxin said with pride in her tone.

Oh yes, how about embroidering a handkerchief for my sister next time?

Qiao Ruyi said with a smile.

Sister, don't you say that I have already planned to do it, I want to embroider a pair of mandarin ducks for my sister, but I can't embroider so complicated now, I will wait for a while, and then embroider for my sister.

Qiao Ruyi nodded and said:

Well, my sister is waiting for the handkerchief of the heart.

When Qiao Ruyi said this, he looked at Qiao Laixing again, he was a little silent today, and said:

Ruxin, can you think of embroidering a purse for Laixing?

Well, when I learn how to make a purse, I'll make a purse for my brother, so that my brother has a small object to put in it.

Qiao Ruyi listened, and said to Qiao Laixing:

Laixing, did you hear what Nina said, are you happy?

Well, happy.

Qiao Zixing listened, nodded and said. There was still silence on his face, and Qiao Ruyi couldn't help but glance at him more.

Laixing, what's the matter with your arm?

Qiao Laixing stretched out his hand to pick up the vegetables, and there was a bruise on his wrist.

Qiao Ruyi stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Laixing's arm, and took a closer look, in addition to the wrist, there were also one or two scratches on the elbow, which were now scarred.

Sister, it's okay.

Seeing this, Qiao Laixing hurriedly withdrew his arm, shook his head and said.

How can you say it's okay, how did you get this arm?

The injury on Qiao Laixing's arm seems to have been bruised, and in the past two days, Qiao Laixing has come back from tutoring in the school these days, and Qiao Ruyi has not asked Qiao Laixing to chop wood. So where did this injury come from? Qiao Ruyi thought of this and asked again.

Qiao Laixing saw Qiao Ruyi asking seriously, so he hesitated for a moment and said:

Sister, the king of our school.

Who is Wang Da?

is Zhu Xiucai's nephew.

Qiao Laixing replied.

What the hell is going on?

Sister, it was Wang Da who saw Zhu Xiucai being good to me, and often stayed to give me supplementary lessons, and praised me from time to time, so he liked to target me on weekdays, and when I got out of school today, I passed in front of his seat, and Wang Da stretched out his leg to trip me, and I fell to the ground.

Zhu Xiu only knows?

Qiao Ruyi listened and asked again.

Qiao Laixing shook his head after hearing this, and said:

Zhu Xiucai didn't know, and then added:

Zhu Niangzi's mother heard that she fell, Zhu Niangzi and Zhu Xiucai went back to Zhu Niangzi's mother's house together, and Zhu Xiucai left us a book when she left.

Qiao Ruyi nodded, and said to Qiao Laixing: Beautiful book

Come to Xing, Sister Tomorrow and you will go to the school, this matter must be talked to Zhu Xiucai, we are going to the school to study, not to be bullied.

Sister, don't go, that Wang Da is Zhu Xiucai's nephew, can they face us, let's endure this time, Wang Da is just angry in his heart, he feels that Zhu Xiucai takes care of me a lot, and I won't go to tutoring in the future.

Qiao Ruyi heard this, and slapped the chopsticks on the table with a snap.

Laixing, what are you talking about, it's a good thing to have more cram classes, not to mention that you are already late for school, and you don't have much time to catch up with the courses that you have fallen behind, and you have to give up your own pace of progress because of a naughty child. You, you're really me off—

Sister, don't be angry, I, I—

Qiao Laixing saw that Qiao Ruyi was angry, and said hurriedly.

You go to the courtyard and kneel for me.

Qiao Ru commented on Qiao Laixing's this, and said with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel.

Sister, I'm scared-

Qiao Ruxin's small voice came, Qiao Ruyi held Qiao Ruxin in her arms, and comforted softly:

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.

Qiao Ruyi comforted Qiao Ruxin while looking at Qiao Laixing.

Qiao Laixing had no choice but to put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the courtyard and knelt down.

Qiao Ruyi looked at the food on the table, and she had no idea of continuing to eat, she stood up, coaxed Qiao Ruxin and said:

Ruxin, don't be afraid, my brother said the wrong thing, my sister is teaching him, if my sister doesn't teach my brother, my brother won't be able to realize that he was wrong, and he won't change it in the future, I know no.

Qiao Ruxin listened, nodded, and asked again:

But sister, it's very cold outside, what if my brother is sick?

Qiao Ruyi looked at Qiao Laixing, who was kneeling upright, outside, and said ruthlessly:

It's okay, he can't remember it, if you are good, let's clean up the table.

Well, Qiao Ruxin nodded, cleaned up the table with Qiao Ruyi, and then washed the dishes and chopsticks, and after cleaning up, Qiao Ruyi pulled Qiao Ruxin into the inner room together, and the two went to the kang.

Qiao Ruxin looked at Qiao Laixing outside, Qiao Laixing couldn't kneel and swayed from side to side. Qiao Ruxin took Qiao Ruyi's hand and said:

Sister, I think it's better to let my brother in, if my brother is sick, it won't be good.

Qiao Ruyi listened to it as if she hadn't heard it, and sat stiffly with a cold face.

Qiao Ruxin saw that Qiao Ruyi did not react, so she begged again:

Sister, how cold it is today, it's dark outside, brother has to be afraid.

When Qiao Ruyi heard this, her heart softened, and she said to Qiao Ruxin:

Go and call your brother in.

Qiao Ruxin heard this, and hurriedly ran outside from the kang, and it didn't take long for Qiao Ruxin to pull Qiao Laixing into the house.

Qiao Laixing lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, Qiao Ruyi glanced at him and asked:

Lexing, do you know what you did wrong?

Qiao Ruyi's tone was still angry, Qiao Laixing's words just now were really unambitious, these words came out of Qiao Laixing's mouth, which really made Qiao Ruyi angry, and he thought that he must remove this idea from him.

Qiao Laixing listened to Qiao Ruyi's words, tears fell to the ground, and then he wiped his sleeve hard, Qiao Laixing had never cried before, and now this crying looked very pitiful, Qiao Ruyi looked at it, and couldn't help but soften his tone a little, and said:

Come to Xing, you have to know what you want, and you have to strengthen your mind, so that you can get what you want, didn't you say before that you like to read, and I did everything possible to send you to the school, how can you relax yourself because of such a small difficulty. So who do you say you are right?

Sister, Qiao Laixing burst into tears when he heard this, raised his head and said to Qiao Ruyi:

Sister, I know all this, but I see that you are so busy inside and out every day, I just don't want you to bother anymore, I don't want to make trouble for you.

Qiao Laixing raised his hand again and wiped his face with his sleeve, and said:

I thought that I would not go to the school to review the course, I could just find another place, I had planned to go to the mountains to review, and then when I came back, I could come back with firewood for the family. In this way, you can not only avoid causing trouble for your sister, but also help share some of the burden on the family.
