Li Qing was stunned for a moment, his steps slowed down, and he glanced at the room, which was very tidy.

A double bed against the wall, entrance, a rectangular table with drawers, upper

There were a few books on the side, and some pen, ink and paper.

Near the window was another table, neatly arranged, with several layers of books piled high on top of stacks of drawing paper, and a tape recorder in the corner of the table.

Li Qing stood at the door, raised his head slightly, bent the fingers of his right hand, and knocked lightly on the door, with a crisp sound

"Ouyang"

Ouyang turned his face when he heard the sound, stopped with his right hand, turned around, held a pencil in his hand, opened his lips slightly, showed his white and neat teeth, and asked with a smile

"Li Qing, are you off work?"

"Well, you're sketching."

"I drew it a few days ago, and now it's being revised? Come in and sit down for a while? ”

Li Qing moved his steps lightly, walked into the house, looked inside the room, and said with a smile as he turned around

"I went back, my family had dinner early"

"Oooh"

Ouyang smiled and followed Li Qing to the door, and Li Qing walked home without looking back.

When the eldest woman got married, seeing that Li Qing's work had stabilized, relatives and friends at home came to the door one after another.

One day, at nine o'clock in the morning, the second aunt smiled and took a middle-aged woman and led a young man in his twenties who was not tall.

"Sister-in-law, Li Yun and Li Feng are at home?"

"Second aunt, you're here"

"My second niece, do I dare not be active? , giggles, this is Xiaohu, this is Xiaohu's cousin"

"Come in and sit, come in and sit, Li Yun, pour tea for the second aunt"

"Hey, second aunt, sit down"

The second aunt and Song Nanzhi muttered a few words in a low voice, smiled and walked into the hall together, took a seat, and Li Yun helped Song Nanzhi make tea for the guests.

"Li Yun didn't go to work today?"

"It's hot, we have two shifts, I'm going to work this afternoon, and I'm going from three o'clock to ten o'clock in the evening."

"Oooh"

"You're doing a good business, aren't you? Your store is in a good location, the supply and marketing cooperatives are in the street, and now the business is good or bad,"

"Second aunt, make a mouth"

Li Yun took out three white enamel belt cups from the tea tray on the bookcase, poured some boiling water from the water bottle, and rinsed them.

Open the small tea bucket, put the mouth of the bucket towards the mouth of the teacup, shake it gently, and more than a dozen pieces of tea gently fall into the teacup.

Then pour boiling water into the teacup, hold the teacup with both hands, and hand it to the second aunt, the guy and the cousin-in-law, the cousin and the guy quickly bowed, took the teacup with both hands, and said with a smile "Thank you"

The cousin-in-law looked Li Yun up and down,

"This is your eldest daughter?"

"Yes, cousin,"

"Three daughters, that is the youngest daughter, Qing'er is the second, when her father was alive, I always joked with her father, saying that the eldest and the youngest were tall and fat, and the second was thin, people thought I didn't give her food, hahaha, in fact, her father's favorite is the second child."

The second aunt sighed softly, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Xiaohu standing cramped and uneasy, and greeted Xiaohu,

"Xiaohu, come and sit down"

Li Feng leaned against the door of the West House and grinned, and Li Qing stood next to Li Feng.

"Hahaha"

The young man sat down to the right of the table in the hall and sat down.

Today, Li Yun and Li Feng are also deliberately at home, Li Yun is standing at the door of the room, behind Li Qing and Li Feng, and the sisters are crowded at the door of the West House, looking Xiaohu up and down.

Li Qing looked up at the young man, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and good facial features, he was a kind person.

The second aunt looked at Xiaohu with her eyes, looked for Li Qing again, and shouted with a smile

"Qing'er, come and sit."

"Second Aunt"

Li Qing smiled, walked in, sat down on the left side of the table, and sat down gently.

The second aunt looked at everyone, turned her face to look at Song Nanzhi, and said with a smile

"Sister-in-law, let me give you a brief introduction,"

The second aunt held the teacup handle in her right hand, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.

"Xiaohu's house is on the street of East Street, there are three storefronts, and now they are doing a small business.

The three sons of the Hu family, a daughter, the eldest brother and the second brother and sister are all married, Xiaohu is the youngest son, Xiaohu's parents are in good health, Xiaohu's parents said that these three façade rooms are for Xiaohu, and as soon as Qing'er passes, they will give Qing'er the ....."

Song Nanzhi said

"Second aunt, Xiaohu's house is not far from my house, Qing'er has indeed never done farm work in the field, and her mother-in-law's farmland is definitely not good, mainly to see what Qing'er means, after all, it is related to the children's own happiness, she is willing to do it."

"Auntie, that's what I said, but as an elder, you also have to help the children check it, children are children after all, they don't understand"

"Cousin-in-law, my second aunt must have told you about the situation of my family, Qing'er and her father are gone, Li Yun is married, and now I live with Qing'er Feng'er, I don't have a job"

"Auntie, the second aunt told us the truth, we all know it."

"Cousin-in-law, we just want to find someone for the children who knows the roots, at the doorstep"

"Auntie, you're so right, Xiaohu's house is on the street of East Street, close to you, what's the big deal, it's only a five-minute ride, which parent is willing to marry his daughter to a distant place?"

The second aunt continued

"Xiaohu's farmland is also small, Qing'er has not been on the farmland since she was a child, she has studied for more than ten years, she has married, she will not let Qing'er work in the field, I and the Xiaohu family are relatives, we know the roots, how good it is to be close to each other."

The cousin took a few sips from the teacup and continued

"Auntie, look at Xiaohu's body, how sturdy, honest and diligent"

Li Qing sat on the stool, bowing his head and listening to the adults say this and that.

Xiao Hu sat on the chair and secretly looked at Li Qing, who was sitting opposite.

The second aunt smiled, looked at Li Qing, and then looked at Xiaohu,

"Qing'er, you and Xiaohu go out to talk, understand, let's talk to your mother, giggles"

Li Qing looked up at Song Nanzhi, and Song Nanzhi said

"Listen to the second aunt, Qing'er, you and Xiaohu go out and talk about it"

Everyone instigated, and Li Yun also persuaded

"Qing'er, Xiaohu, you go outside and talk about it, see if you can talk about it, it's easy to talk about it, hehehe"

Li Feng grinned and shook his head,

"Yes, second sister, you two go out and talk about it"

Li Qing smiled mischievously, stood up and walked out.

Xiao Hu also stood up with a smile, followed Li Qing, and slowly walked to the west wall.

Li Qing leaned his back against the red brick pillar,

Xiao Hu stood one meter opposite Li Qing, looked up at Li Qing for a while, and lowered his head for a while.

Li Qing raised his head and boldly looked at the little Hu in front of him,

Small beard, square face, big eyes, long and spirited, medium build.

The upper body wears a new white shirt

shirt, the cuffs are rolled up, revealing thick and strong arms.

Maybe it's because of the hot weather, Xiaohu keeps pulling up the cuffs with his hands..

Li Qing looked down at Xiaohu, wearing a pair of brand-new black leather sandals.

The two of them were silent for a few minutes, and they really didn't know where to start.

Li Qing burst out a sentence

"Xiaohu, how old are you?"

"Two, eleven"

Xiaohu seemed to be a little nervous, and his sentences were a little choppy,

"Oh"

Li Qing was so embarrassed that he couldn't find a word,

"Well, Xiaohu, either we will get along for a while and get to know each other."

Xiaohu's face was joyful

"Well, Qing'er, listen to you"
