Wei Ziqian raised his eyebrows. "Didn't Brother Jiasheng celebrate his birthday last month?"

Qi Jiasheng paused and laughed. "Last month was the birthday celebration, and this month is the full moon celebration. The two are not the same, they are not the same! ”

The children of rich families, the land is full of gold and silver. Money and silk are not endless. So after the birthday celebration, you can celebrate again.

Lu Jiu'er pursed her lips and tilted her head unexpectedly, catching the smug eyes of Young Master Qi. She looked back silently, and her eyes were dustless.

"Why did Brother Qi look at me, did you want to invite Ah Jiu to go with you?" Lu Jiu'er asked in a milky voice, and saw that his eyebrows stood up.

"Is that okay?" Wei Ziqian hesitated, and then skimmed off his thoughts. Presumably Aunt Hong will not agree.

Of course, Qi Jiasheng immediately vetoed it. "This young man's banquet is all gentlemen, if he also leads a short-handed and short-footed hairy girl, how can the young master's name exist? What's the face?! No, absolutely, absolutely not! ”

After roaring chaotically, seeing Wei Ziqian smiling lightly, Qi Jiasheng couldn't help but cough in disguise.

Lu Jiu'er smiled slightly, her expression was quite unfathomable.

"Okay." Wei Ziqian walked over and stretched out his wolf claws to reach out to Lu Jiu'er. She turned her head sideways, her eyes blazing on him defensively. Wei Ziqian curled his lips and smiled, changed the claw shape to a palm clapp, gently landed on the top of her soft hair, and said softly, "Ah Jiu, take the scroll home for me, and tell my mother by the way." ”

"Oh."

Lu Jiuer responded. The scrolls on the sand table have a few more in a blink of an eye. Her waist sank downward.

In the flash of lightning, the stroking palm protrusion changed to a claw, pinching a lump of flesh on the cheeks of the pink man with great precision. That skillful posture is achieved after many years of accumulated practice!

Lu Jiu'er's pupils were gloomy, Wei Ziqian withdrew his hand with satisfaction, while Qi Jiasheng pouted and turned his face.

The school built by the four villages and six surnames is not very far from Zhuangzi. If you stand at the intersection outside, you can clearly identify the torii at the entrance of the carriageway into the village. Now she can understand the words above:

Return to the Idle Grange.

It is said that it is not all farmland for planting and growing vegetables, but also a few fenced storage houses and fruit forests reclaimed from the back mountains. In fact, what is planted and raised in the grange does not depend on the meaning of the owner's family.

For children, the elegant courtyard at the foot of the mountain is a forbidden place. At the beginning of each month, the head of Zhuangzi would regularly instruct the servants to go to the courtyard to clean up.

The adults said that there was a ghost mother-in-law who loved to eat the tender meat of children, so she couldn't go.

The children trembled when they heard this.

And Ah Qian is well-behaved and docile on the outside, but he is bold and rebellious in his bones.

One year on a dizzying afternoon, Lu Jiuer could already run and talk. It was inconvenient for Huang to take her with him when he went out to work, so he left it with the third wife of the neighbor. Wei Ziqian's children and soldiers all wanted to go to the courtyard to explore and catch ghosts, so he took advantage of the third woman's nap to steal people out and put them under the trees by the courtyard wall, and became a part-time child laborer who watched the wind. Others, on the other hand, led children of the same age from other families to climb up to the trees on the adjacent wall like monkeys, and in the blink of an eye, they climbed into the courtyard wall.

When Lu Jiu'er sat under the tree for a long time and almost fell asleep, Ah Qian came back and said to her:

Ah Jiu, in addition to the beautiful furnishings, it's just an empty house.

On his face, there was a solemn regret.

At that time, a thought flashed vaguely in Lu Jiu'er's mind:

This Goro of the Wei family will definitely be a character when he grows up-

I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

Before he approached his yard, the little white dog crawling outside the door had already stood up and ran with his tail wagging excitedly. When the big black dog in the courtyard heard the movement, he only calmly rolled his slightly brown eyes and glanced out gently. The little black dog lazily leaned on its side, not moving.

Since Ngawang gave birth, his temperament has become homely. used to love to guard Lu Jiu'er every step of the way, but now he is always sticky to his cubs, and he is more and more reluctant to run out.

Da Bai's temperament is active and jumpy, which is in stark contrast to the quiet little black. There is also Erbai, who was deceived by Wei Ziqian's dead face, and was afraid that he would not be able to raise it for a while, so he took a thick rope and tied it to their yard. At this moment, I heard Da Bai's happy bark, and Erbai inside also sang a double reed, echoing excitedly.

Just then, someone came out of a neighboring narrow alley. Lu Jiu'er greeted her, "Aunt Wei." ”

Xue's face was full of joy, and when he saw Lu Jiu'er open his mouth, he asked, "Is there anyone at home?" ”

"The courtyard door is open, and Grandma Xu is in the house." Lu Jiu'er raised the things in her hand, "Aunt Wei, this is Brother Qian's, he said tonight that he was going to Shu Mansion for the night......

"Come on, my son won't even go home when he's older, so I'll treat it as if I never gave birth. You put these in the house. Xue Shi directly untied the iron key tied to her belt and stuffed it into the palm of her hand, "I rushed to find your grandmother, but there is great news for her!" Before he had finished speaking, the man had already stepped into the courtyard.

The Huang family was cleaning up the dry firewood stacks in the firewood room, and when they saw the Xue family, they pursed their lips and smiled.

"Look at your anxious appearance, did you find a silver ingot somewhere?"

Xue took a sip of her in disgust. "It's your family who has found the gold! I just received a letter from the big city, this is from Brother Hong, open it and take a look! ”

The thin envelope was handed to Huang and pushed back. "Sister-in-law, you also know that I am illiterate, so read it for me."

Xue Shi was waiting for this sentence, and the god smiled at her mysteriously, then took the letter openly and opened it to see.

The content of the letter was very short, and Xue's eyes swept away, and the joy in front of his eyebrows condensed. She looked up at Huang, and then silently recited the pen and ink from the beginning again.

"What's wrong?" Huang had been paying attention to the look on her face, watching Xue hesitantly put down the letter, and stopped talking, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Hey, what is written?" Say it! ”

Xue didn't expect to scare her, so he hurriedly reassured: "Don't worry, don't worry! There's really nothing else, Brother Hong, he will report your safety in the letter. ”

"What else did he say?" Huang asked. Her heart is not coarse, Xue's expression has been unusual since she entered the door, there must be something she doesn't know.

"He also said that if other family members send you things, whether they are good or bad, they must all be returned."

Huang was stunned when he heard this, and frowned. "It's ...... What do you mean? For no reason, how can you say that someone will send something to the house? ”

Xue Shi was also muttering in his heart. No matter how hastily this letter is written, it has to be explained, right? But suddenly he said it directly...... Could it be that something happened to that matter?!

Her brows tucked unconsciously.

Huang was originally a rectum, and this suspicion arose, where could he hide it. She reached out and grabbed Xue's wrist and asked, "Sister-in-law, Brother Wei also gave you a letter, right?" You...... You know something. Our family has always been close, and our children are as close as brothers and sisters...... Tell me about it, don't really suffocate me! ”

"I didn't want to hide it from you, but now it seems that ...... Ay. Xue's face was sad, and he didn't have the heart to sell Guanzi, "My man brought a letter, saying that it is very likely that Brother Ahong will be transferred back to Beizhuang." ”

Huang was stunned. "Transferred back...... What to do? ”

Xue Shi looked at her, deliberately lowered his voice, and said vaguely: "Maybe you can transfer a seat that can talk about things and get some ideas." "Now there is no definite decision, and it is not easy for Xue to say it too plainly.

"Is it to be transferred back here and work in Zhuangzi for a long time?" Huang only felt that he couldn't distinguish between joy and sorrow, and his mind was chaotic. But why didn't he mention it in his letter, but he specifically told her not to accept gifts?

Huang's thoughts were mixed for a while, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the open door of the house, where Lu Jiu'er, who had just returned home, was standing there, looking quiet and serene. It's just that Huang's gaze penetrated through the past as if he was blind from that small body-

Outside, the sky was bright and bright, shining from behind the people standing at the door, casting a faint shadow on the ground.

That night, Huang was frequently distracted, and he didn't feel sleepy until late at night. Lu Jiu'er got up from the bed several times and cut the candle with scissors.

Huang sighed again, and finally got on the bed and pulled the thin quilt to cover it.

"Grandma," Lu Jiu'er opened her clear eyes and called softly, "Isn't it a good thing that Daddy can come back and live together?" ”

The bean-sized candle flame flickered slightly, and the light and shadow shrouded. The insects and frogs in the field chirped, and the sound was in the ears, but the night was even more lonely.

"Hmm. Go to sleep. ”

Huang patted Nan'er's shoulder and back, like an ancient lullaby, calming his mind and inducing people to sleep. Just as her consciousness began to dim, she heard a whisper in her ear:

Jiu'er, when you grow up, don't learn from your mother......

Jiu'er, if you want to find a home in the future, you have to find someone you can count on......

Jiu'er ......
