Chapter 111: Returning to the Owner
βPokemo
I don't want to hide it from you. I stopped my chopsticks and said, "But I don't want to say it now." β
Qi Qi looked at Zhai Yi, "Daddy, what about you?" β
Zhai Yi sighed lightly and asked him, "He is actually yours...... Brother-in-law. β
"Uncle?" Qi Qi pursed his lips, "He's also grandpa's child?" β
"Yes." "But we're not a mother. And his mother, surnamed Chen. β
It's not complicated to explain. Complicated is the relationship between the characters involved in the story. I lowered my head and silently picked up the rice, but Qiqi continued to ask, "Then should I keep that gourd again?" β
"Since it was given to you, it is yours." Zhai Yi said softly.
In the evening, I asked him, "Do you really not mind?" β
He smiled and shook his head, "Don't mind." After a pause, he added, "At most, this is the return of things to their original owners." β
I looked at him in amazement, "You ......"
How would he know that the gourd was originally given to Chen Yuyao by me?
Zhai Yi gently stroked my belly, as if chattering with the baby in the belly, and as if he had specially stated it to me-
"Once upon a time, there was a little prince who was held in the palm of his hand by his parents as soon as he was born. He told himself to be diligent, polite, and noble. Because this is the virtue that a little prince should have.
One day, the little prince's father told him that he actually had an older brother. Hearing this news, the little prince's inner world collapsed for a moment, as if a complete world that originally belonged to him opened a gap. Moreover, the gap had already existed, but the little prince did not know it.
But when he heard that the exiled brother had lost his mother and sister and was sent to the countryside to be with his elderly grandfather, he couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy in his heart. Of course, there was also curiosity about that brother, so when his father asked him if he wanted to go and bring his brother back together, after some struggle in his heart, he decided to open his arms to meet this brother who had never met before. But unexpectedly, when the little prince and his father took a long, long way in a carriage and walked a long, long way, they arrived in the countryside where the little prince's brother was, but they were closed.
The little prince's older brother was studying in a boarding school and had not yet returned. And the elder brother's grandfather wanted to drive them away, and he said that the elder brother did not want to see them at all, especially the little prince. He believes that the tragedy of his mother and sister was caused by his father, and that the little prince took away everything that should have belonged to his brother.
The father still wanted to see his brother, so he told the little prince not to go far, and stayed in the town shop and waited for him. But the little prince waited for nearly an hour, but still did not see his father, so he couldn't bear to run out......"
I heard my heart pounding and asked him, "And then?" β
Zhai Yi continued, "Then the little prince didn't go far when he noticed that the instep of his foot seemed to have been stung by something. When I looked down, the body of the thing was long, the color was black and red, and there were countless small feet, it turned out to be a centipede! The little prince screamed...... Not because he's scared, of course, but because he feels disgusting......"
I pursed my lips and laughed, not interrupting him.
Zhai Yi paused, and said in a helpless tone: "Okay...... Maybe it's still a little scary. Because whether he watched "Animal World" or "Journey to the West", all the information he learned was: centipedes are highly poisonous. When a man is wounded by its sting, he will surely die. The little prince thought that he had not grown up yet, and had not yet had time to say goodbye to his family and good friends, and that it was simply too tragic that he would die just because he accompanied his father to the countryside.
So he cried bitterly, and at this moment a kind and brave little girl came and helped the little prince to squeeze out the centipede's venom and apply herbs...... This is tantamount to saving the little prince's life. So the little prince, in order to thank her, gave the little girl an object that he liked very muchβit was a gourd of rosewood......"
"Is it really you?" I looked at him in disbelief.
He looked back at me deeply, and then said, "Later, the little prince followed his father back to his kingdom, and suddenly one day his father decided to move the capital to another place, and the little prince was a little reluctant, but he did not expect that he would see the little girl again.
She turned out to be his neighbor and helped him again and again on a stormy night when the power went out. She cooked him a bowl of chicken noodle soup with a fragrant poached egg on top. It was the most delicious dinner the Little Prince had ever had...... The little prince saw the little girl as his angel, but he wanted to be able to protect her next time...... After many, many years, he finally did it. β
My eyes were already wet with tears. "Original...... That's right. β
Fate is the fate that you can't get rid of when you go around a few times.
Fortunately, fate is not too thin for me after all.
Not long after Jin Minghai was released, Ah Wei was also released by Chen Yuyao, and he recontacted me and said that he couldn't accept my 100,000 yuan. I just replied to him that the health of the child is the most important thing. The rest, it doesn't matter. If you feel that it is a burden to associate with me in the future, then it is better to forget about the rivers and lakes. Anyway, if you hadn't saved me with compassion, my life would have come to an end ten years ago.
Ah Wei just said, Miss Jin, I owe you and will definitely repay you.
I hurriedly told him not to take it to heart, "Hello to your daughter." "I sincerely hope that she will regain her health, knowing that she is only a four-year-old girl who has not yet experienced the colorful world.
The days passed smoothly day by day, and soon it was time for the Dragon Boat Festival.
This is not the first time Qiqi has celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival, but in HK, the atmosphere of the festival is not as strong as in H City.
When he came back from school the day before the festival, he hung mugwort leaves and iris in front of his house with great interest, "I heard that there will be a dragon boat race on the other side of Huating Lake!" Mommy, Daddy, I want to see it. β
Zhai Yi bought zongzi and came back to cook, he asked me to rest, but I went to work and sat for a day, just wanted to be more active, so I took the bayberry sent by Zhai's father and Zhai's mother from the refrigerator and washed it with salt water.
"Mommy, isn't bayberry ripe in May?" Qiqi asked.
And I bought it at a fruit store before, and he called it untasty.
"This is the 'prodigal' bayberry in the West Mountain of S City, and the market time is later than the average bayberry." I said, "But you see, it's big, and it's juicy and sweet." Come, you taste it. β
I twisted a bayberry and brought it to his mouth, but he reached out and took it and ate it himself.
A little gentleman is all about eating decently.
"How?"
βYummy οΌβ He couldn't help but pop out of his native language.
"Mommy, what did you just say this bayberry is called?" Qiqi asked.
"Swinger."
"How do you call it that?" Qi Qi muttered, "If you want me to say, it should be called 'Big Beauty'!" β
"Why?" Zhai Yi turned his head and asked him.
"Sweet and sour, worth savoring." Qi Qi said, and ate two or three more in a row.
I smiled and asked him, "Didn't you like to play with female classmates before?" "Now I know what the standard of beauty is.
"Mommy, why do you call it 'Swinger'?" He asked as he ate.
"I don't know." I looked at Zhai Yi, "Ask your daddy." β
Zhai Yi looked at me with disgust, "This bayberry fruit stalk is thick and long, and when it hangs on the branches, it sways in the wind - so it is called 'prodigal'." β
"Oh, that's right." Qiqi said, "I thought that if I ate it, I would become very amorous. It's too ...... name Shame on you. β
I laughed out loud, "Then you still eat one after another!" Beware of eating too much and eating your teeth down. β
"Not really. My teeth are good, and my dad is a dentist, what am I afraid of? "Qiqi doesn't care about the authentic way.
"Don't eat any more." I said, "It's not just a toothache, it's dizziness." β
"I don't believe it." Qiqi said.
"Don't believe me, you ask your daddy." I say.
"Everything must be done in moderation, and eating must be controlled within a certain range, your mommy is right." Zhai Yi said, "After eating this one in your mouth, don't eat it again." I've just counted, and you've eaten no less than twelve. β
"Okay." Qi Qi pouted, "Daddy, you're not good at this, you talk to Mommy about everything." β
I looked at him with disgust. He waved his hand and asked, "When will the zongzi be good?" My table brought me the big meat dumplings of Xinghualou at noon yesterday, and I think they are particularly delicious! β
"What Xinghualou, the best tasting zongzi is 'Wufangzhai'." Zhai Yi said.
"Xinghualou." Qi Qi was preconceived and said unconvinced, "I think it's Xinghualou." β
"Torrential rain, what do you think?" Zhai Yi asked me.
I ...... "I don't think it's delicious, especially in the case of mass production, the taste is not satisfactory." Why don't you go buy some zongye tomorrow, and I'll wrap it for you to eat? β
"Yes, yes! Mommy, you know how to make zongzi, I want to learn from you! Qiqi said.
Zhai Yi disagreed, "Don't work too hard, let's talk about it this time next year." β
"Daddy!" Qiqi protested.
"What is the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival?" Zhai Yi said, "If you can answer, your mommy will pack." β
"In memory of Qu Yuan."
"Wrong!"
"Our teacher said it was Qu Yuan!"
"Wu Di Dragon Boat Festival commemorates Wu Zixu - two hundred years earlier than Qu Yuanke!"
"Daddy, you must be talking nonsense. How can there be such a person as Wu Zixu, you must have made it up. Qi Qi said.
"You can check it out." Zhai Yi said.
Sitting up, Qi Qi immediately ran back to his room to use the computer, and after a while he came out, leaned against the kitchen door and asked, "Wu Zixu's fate is really miserable." It's better to just be that Shaoguan in the first place - by the way, will people really lose their heads overnight? β
I knew it wasn't, but I couldn't help but think of someone. White-headed overnight, Huafa was born early.
And the Dragon Boat Festival is his birthday.
