When Master Tao returned home, he happened to meet Chiyu sitting in the pavilion.

Seeing Master Tao, Chiyu stood up.

Master Tao touched his beard and thought, "I'm afraid you didn't specifically arrest me." ”

At the end of summer, the weather is sultry, the pavilion is built in the middle of the lotus pond, the lotus pavilion is graceful, and the face of the girl in the pavilion is also more colorful.

Master Tao had to sigh: "There is a girl in my family who has just grown up, and she is delicate and lovely. ”

Chi Yu saw the sweat on Master Tao's face, and hurriedly asked Pei'er to bring the mung bean soup he was preparing.

Master Tao took the soup, and Chi Yu turned around and said, "Pei'er, you go down first." ”

Master Tao took a mouthful of mung bean soup, and the soup from the cellar in the well water was cold to the heart, and the mung beans were boiled old, and when he went down, his mouth was full of mung bean dregs. Let Master Tao, who has been busy outside for a day, feel very ironed.

Putting down the bowl, Master Tao wiped his mouth and looked at Chiyu: "Good girl~ You have a good soup in your hand!" Learn more from your mother. ”

Chi Yu pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, grabbed his sleeves with both hands, looked at his father, and said, "Daddy, are all those homeless people telling the truth?" ”

Master Tao raised his head and glanced at Chi Yu: "Good girl, don't you believe Daddy?" ”

Chiyu shook his head, "No, Daddy." I'm just worried about you. ”

Master Tao touched his beard with relief and said, "My good girl has grown up and knows that she is worried about her father." ”

Master Tao got up and looked at the lotus pond, took his hand, and then spoke: "Pond fish, do you look good at the lotus flowers?" ”

The pond fish looked at the lotus pond and remembered that the lotus in this pond was when the pond fish was ten years old, and the mother saw that the lotus flowers on a certain house were in full bloom. When I returned home, my mother said several times that the lotus flowers were beautiful, so my father also built a lotus pond in his house.

The next year, lotus flowers bloom all over the pond. That year, the pond fish ate a lot of lotus seeds, as well as lotus cakes, lotus stuffed lotus, and lotus root clips. The mother is also very happy, there were several lotus banquets that year, and there was no one in Yangzhou City who did not know that there were lush lotus flowers in Taofu.

Now it is the height of summer, in this lotus pond, the lotus leaves are in the sky, the lotus flowers of various colors are blooming one after another, Anna is like a fairy, and the breeze sends fragrance far away. Towards evening, the sunset reflects the sunset, and the lotus leaves cover the lotus flowers. A gentle breeze blows, caressing the dragonflies standing on the lotus flowers. This situation and this scene are pleasant.

Chiyu smelled the fragrance of the lotus and nodded again and again: "This lotus is naturally good-looking, and the varieties here are still picked by me and my mother." ”

Master Tao laughed: "Yes, our pond fish selection is naturally good-looking." As soon as the voice changed, Master Tao said: "The pond fish, do you know where this lotus grows?" ”

Chiyu immediately continued: "Naturally, it is silt, and when I was a child, I also carried the ...... of 'getting out of the silt without staining'"

Master Tao stretched out his hand and pulled over a lotus pod, peeled out the lotus seeds, and stuffed them into the mouth of the pond fish: "This lotus tweed is like the peace of this prosperous world, and this silt is like all kinds of injustices in this world." Pond fish, things in the world, there is no absolute right and wrong, black and white. A thief may be a dutiful son, a gentleman, or a liar. However, Daddy doesn't want you to play tricks. Chi Yu, you are the eldest lady of Tao Mansion and the niece of the Wen family. You are proud enough to get everything you want. You just need to know that no matter what happens, your father, your mother, and your brother will protect you. ”

The pond fish chewed lotus seeds in its mouth, and when it took a bite, the fragrance rushed to the nose, and the tear glands were also stimulated.

Chi Yu looked at his father and couldn't help but say, "Daddy, Chi Yu also wants to do something for you." ”

Master Tao looked at the little girl: "As long as the pond fish grows up well, it's fine." Daddy has been thinking lately, girl, what should you look like when you get married? Fortunately, my mother and I have already prepared a dowry for you. Master Tao said, and couldn't help touching his beard, thinking that he had saved the cost of Wenzhige, which was really wonderful.

Chi Yu didn't watch out for the old father who had already thought of this, so he couldn't help blushing, tugging at his clothes, and muttering: "Daddy, why are you like this!" I'm going to tell my mother about the money you hid in the study. ”

Master Tao pulled off a beard excitedly, covered his chin, and looked at the pond fish: "My good girl! Daddy will bring you pastries from Bichun Fang tomorrow. ”

Chi Yu looked at his father and sighed, muttering "unfortunate family" and went to the study.

Looking at his father's back, his father, who is over half a hundred years old, is always a smiling appearance.

The clothes are always neat and tidy, even if he is old, he is a middle-aged beautiful uncle.

Chiyu has never seen him when he is angry, and he will always say "Mrs. said yes" and "Mrs. said right" to his mother.

When I was young, my father was still a small county magistrate.

Her father took her shopping.

Chiyu rode on his father's shoulder, with a sugar gourd in his right hand and a large windmill in his left hand.

Chiyu always hears him smiling and talking to people in the streets.

"Brother Liu, it's out of the stall."

"Yo, auntie, you can't ask for this."

"Ah Xin was thinking about your pastries last time."

"Good girl, call uncle." "Good girl, this is Aunt Hu."

……

At that time, whenever the pond fish did bad things, his father always hugged the little pond fish and stopped his mother's Hedong lion roar.

"Madam, the pond fish are still small."

At that time, Chiyu Danfan was teased by his brother to cry, and his father always coaxed Chiyu with a distressed face, looking at Tao Yiyi reproachfully.

"Yiyin, you are the elder brother, you have to be a good brother of the little pond fish."

At that time, whenever Chiyu wanted something, his father always took out all the money in his pocket with a heroic face, and handed it to Chiyu selflessly.

"Good girl, are these enough, what more do you want?"

In fact, my father is also poor, after all, my mother always has a firm grasp of financial power.

In this way, the pond fish was held in the palm of his hand by his father, from a small town to Yangzhou, from ignorance to cardamom.

The father said: "The good girl doesn't want to learn the piano, so we won't learn it, we all blame this piano and hurt the good girl's hand." ”

Tao Yijin looked at his cocooned hands and complained silently.

The father said, "How many books has the good girl memorized today?" Can't remember? It's okay if you can't remember, let's take our time. ”

Tao stabbed the strand with the cantilevered beam cone on his head, made a mistake in his back, beat the ring ruler once, and looked at the pond fish and gritted his teeth.

The father said, "The good girl wants to go horseback riding?" Good girl, you're too short to be safe. Okay, okay, Daddy will take you there. ”

Tao Yixin was left behind by the horse several times, and he looked at his father laughing on the side. "Good girl, look at your brother again."

Chiyu couldn't help but laugh when he remembered these pasts. If not, there is still a mother and a mother at home, and Chiyu thinks that he can probably turn the day upside down.

The pond fish was like a little fox, with a little tail, and went to the kitchen to bring a bowl of mung bean soup to his mother.

So Chi Yu didn't see Master Tao who was far away, turned around, and frowned.
