Chapter 128: Storytelling

As soon as the child's feet hit the ground, he ran in the direction of the kitchen, shouting in a panic as he ran, "Mother......"

Mingyue followed behind worriedly, for fear that the child would fall, and shouted to slow down, but in her heart she was wondering where did this child come from? Could it be Quyi's? Qu Yi got married?

It's not right, I didn't hear about it last time, and Qu Yi lives in this small building, and has never been to other residences, and there is no trace of women and children living in this courtyard.

The child ran in the direction of the kitchen, and when he got to the door, he slipped into the kitchen, Mingyue followed, and when he approached the kitchen, he smelled the smell of food, and when he stepped into the kitchen door, he saw that the child had hugged the thigh of the woman who was busy in the kitchen.

The woman was about twenty years old, with a beautiful face, and she was bowing her head and coaxing the child holding her thighs softly.

Seeing Mingyue enter the door, the woman raised her head and looked at the door, with a gentle smile on her face when she coaxed the child, and said in a warm and crisp voice, "This is Mrs. Li, right?" I've been listening to my dad for the past few days, and today I finally met a real person. ”

Hearing this woman's words, Mingyue probably guessed the identity of this woman, it should be Qu Nanying, the only daughter of the shopkeeper Qu, and now if you look closely, you can find that this woman is indeed a little similar to the shopkeeper Qu when she laughs.

Now that she had guessed her identity, Mingyue responded with a smile, "It's Sister Qu, right?" Is this your child? It's so good, Sister Qu is so blessed. ”

Qu Nanying replied with a smile, "It's almost noon, I haven't cooked this meal yet, please ask Mrs. Li to help me watch Dian Rui'er." ”

Then he lowered his head and said to the child holding his leg, "Rui'er, this is Auntie, why don't you go play with Auntie for a while, Mother wants to cook now." ”

After listening to her mother's instructions, Rui'er nodded obediently, let go of her mother's thighs, and turned her head to look like Mingyue.

Mingyue looked at the various ingredients on the stove and said, "I'll help you." ”

Qu Nanying hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, I'll do it alone, Mrs. Li can go and get busy, just help me watch Rui'er by the way." ”

was rejected, Mingyue had no choice but to respond, "Then it's hard Sister Qu, my name is Mingyue, Sister Qu calls me Mingyue or Xiaoyue, Rui'er, is it okay to go out with your aunt?" ”

Rui'er looked at Mingyue timidly and said, "Look at the fish." ”

Mingyue nodded with a smile, and went over to pick up Rui'er, "Go ahead, watch the fish." ”

Watching Mingyue leave with the child in her arms, Qu Nanying began to continue to be busy behind the stove.

Tomorrow I took the child in the yard and watched the fish on the edge of the fish pond for a while, so I coaxed the child to go upstairs with me, found a charcoal pen and a piece of paper, and taught the child to draw a fish on the paper, the child was well-behaved, and then he lay on the table to draw and play, and he didn't make trouble, Mingyue began to continue to write her training plan on the side.

Until lunchtime, Li Yun went upstairs to call someone, and saw a large and a small lying on the table, all writing and painting seriously, such a harmonious picture, people couldn't bear to disturb.

Li Yun leaned over to take a look, and saw that the paper under Mingyue's hand was full of that special character, and the paper under the child's hand was full of messy drawings, and the shape should be almost a fish.

"It's time to eat." Li Yun finally spoke.

Mingyue also came back to her senses from the piece of paper, looked up and saw Li Yun in front of her, and said, "What's going on in front of you?" ”

Li Yunying said, "Everything is very good, the progress is also very fast, let's go, go down to eat first, the shopkeeper Qu is still waiting below." ”

Mingyue turned her head to look at the child next to her, and found that the child was still writing and drawing seriously on the paper, Mingyue said with a smile, "Rui'er is really capable, she has drawn a lot of fish, let's go down to eat first." ”

Rui'er raised her head and smiled shyly at Mingyue, Mingyue picked up Rui'er and said to Li Yun on the side, "Let's go." ”

Li Yun wanted to reach out to help Mingyue take the child in his arms, but Rui'er was a little recognized, hugged Mingyue's neck tightly, and refused to let Li Yun hug her, and Li Yun, who wanted to help, had to give up.

Mingyue hugged the child and followed Li Yun downstairs, and saw a man in his twenties standing under the small attic, with a heroic face and a presumptuous official uniform.

Rui'er in Mingyue's arms When you saw the man, she excitedly stretched out her hands and shouted, "Daddy, hug." ”

The man first smiled at Mingyue and Li Yun and bowed slightly, and then reached out to take the child in Mingyue's arms.

At this time, the shopkeeper Qu came over and introduced to Li Yunmingyue with a smile, "This is my son-in-law, who is a fast catcher in the yamen, called Zhang Yan." ”

Then Shopkeeper Qu introduced to Zhang Yan, "This is what I told you, Gongzi Li and Mrs. Li." ”

Because Zhang Yan was holding a child in his hand, he smiled and said, "Fortunately." ”

Li Yun also clasped his fists and saluted, "Fortunately." ”

Leaning towards the kitchen over there, Qu Nanying had already begun to shout towards this side, "The food is going to be cold, everyone come and eat." ”

Shopkeeper Qu said, "Let's go over." And he took the lead and walked that way.

At this time, Rui'er in Zhang Yan's arms shouted, "Daddy, ride a horse." ”

I saw Zhang Yan lifting the child up with both hands, letting the child ride on his neck, and began to run quickly in the yard, and kept shouting "Drive, drive." ”

The child riding on the neck also followed excitedly, "Drive, drive." ”

Seeing this scene, Li Yun and Mingyue were stunned, Mingyue is an orphan and has never experienced what father's love is, although Li Yun has a biological father and an adoptive father, he basically has no impression of his biological father, and his adoptive father seems to be lying in bed and sick at any time in his impression.

At this time, both of them thought in their hearts, if they had their own children, would they be like this?

It wasn't until the shopkeeper Qu in the distance called the two of them again that the two of them went over there.

Because the lobby outside is being renovated, the dining table is placed directly outside the kitchen, in the open space in the small courtyard, there are five dishes and a soup on the table, plus a large plate of steamed buns, it is quite rich, everyone sits around the table for a while, and then begins to eat.

After lunch, Zhang Yan went to the Yamen, and the others were also busy with their own affairs, Mingyue helped Qu Nanying finish cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and originally wanted to wash the dishes, but Qu Nanying refused.

Rui'er has been thinking about the fish he painted, and Mingyue still has a training plan that has not been written, so she took Rui'er to the third floor together, coaxing Rui'er to continue painting, and she continued to write the training plan.

After a while, Qu Nanying, who was busy, went upstairs to take Rui'er away, and without a child, Mingyue was able to calm down and write the plan carefully, and it didn't take long for her to finish writing.

I wanted to write down Qu Yi's storytelling story, but after thinking about it, Qu Yi definitely didn't know his own simplified characters, and when the time came, he would have to trouble Li Yun to help translate and write a copy, which was too troublesome, so Mingyue planned to call Qu Yi over, tell him the story directly, and then let him sort it out by himself.

Mingyue has heard Qu Yi tell stories, she should have learned it deliberately, but she looks good, but the story she tells is not too attractive.

Seeing Mingyue's confident appearance, Qu Yi was a little curious, what story would Mrs. Li tell when she asked herself to go over.

When Mingyue told the first paragraph of Journey to the West, Qu Yi was completely fascinated by this story, and only asked what happened later.

At this time, Mingyue seized the appropriate opportunity and taught Qu Yi a lesson, "I'm stuck at a critical moment like this, come to a foreknowledge of what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition, are you willing to come next time?" ”

Qu Yi hurriedly shook his head and responded, "Reluctantly." ”

Mingyue continued, "That's right, when you talk about the book, you should also do this, get stuck on the key point, put it on the next day, so that day by day, those who love to listen to the story you say, will they come every day?" ”

Qu Yi instantly understood what Mingyue meant, and clasped his fists towards Mingyue, "Qu Yi has been taught." ”

Mingyue hurriedly waved her hand, "Of course, this is only secondary, the main thing is that the story is attractive enough, let's continue to tell the story, and after speaking, you have to sort it out yourself, how many paragraphs to divide it into." ”

For the rest of the afternoon, until dinner began downstairs, Mingyue was telling Qu Yi about Journey to the West.

The two went downstairs, and the others were already sitting around the table, still the same few people at noon, but Zhang Yan was missing.

Mingyue used to sit next to Li Yun, and when she heard the shopkeeper Qu ask Qu Yi with a smile, "Is Mrs. Li's story exciting?" ”

Qu Yi said with a serious face, "Mrs. Li can make up such a wonderful story, which is really admirable. ”

Mingyue listened to Qu Yi's words, but she was a little embarrassed, where did he make it up by himself, it was completely plagiarized and copied from other people's works, but this can't be said yet, Qu Yi asked about the source, and Mingyue had to think nonsense that he had thought about before.

Seeing Qu Yi's solemn praise, Shopkeeper Qu smiled with a little curiosity and said, "When you say that, I'm a little curious about what story Mrs. Li is telling you." ”

Qu Yi, who has always been honest, actually sold it this time, "When I tell the story, my uncle will naturally know." ”

After dinner, this Zhang Yan came in from outside, saying that his colleagues from the yamen had invited him and went to the restaurant to eat, and he came here to pick up Rui'er and their mother and son.

After sending Zhang Yan's family of three out of the door, Mingyue came over to clean up the table and prepare to wash the dishes, but Qu Yi said that he didn't let Mingyue touch his hands, saying that Mingyue had told him all afternoon, he was tired, and he wanted to rest early, so Mingyue had to give up.

The shopkeeper Qu is thoughtful, because the back row of houses are too big to make tea rooms, and even if it is a tea house, it must always be more thoughtful, and the thatched house must be indispensable if you drink too much water, and the other end of the kitchen is set up as a thatched house, and there is a bathhouse next to it.

Mingyue and Li Yun went to the bathhouse one after another to wash and bathe, and then went back to the third floor to rest.
