Chapter 116 Leisurely

That day, Zhang Manting stayed for more than an hour before leaving, and as soon as he left, Xiao Dong hurriedly walked into the house. Zhao Zhi leaned on the head of the bed, staring blankly at the top of the tent, and asked her something, but she didn't say anything.

She wasn't so reluctant before, on the contrary, she talked the most. When she was in school in Jiyutang, she even had to talk carefully about what she ate in the morning and what she dreamed about last night.

Xiao Dong felt sad, and couldn't stop worrying about her.

However, in the evening, Hu said that Zhao Zhi ate more in the evening than in the previous two days.

"Maybe it's a good thing." Hu speculated: "It's always good to be able to eat." ”

Perhaps, but there is another possibility. If she had broken her heart and broken the jar, she would have eaten and drank—and she had eaten and drunk enough to seek death—it was also possible.

If it weren't for Zhao Zhi's matter, Xiaodong felt that in fact, life in Suizhou was still very good.

If you get used to it, living in a wooden building is also interesting. The stairs always creak when you step on them, and so does the floor. The local unique green bamboo mat is particularly cold to sleep, and the little winter night always can't stand the cold, so he can't help but shrink into Qin Lie's arms freely, and when he wakes up in the morning, he hasn't opened his eyes yet, and he listens to the chirping of birds outside, tactfully and crisply. The magpie dragged its long tail and jumped from branch to branch of the tree outside the window, and then suddenly spread its wings and swooped into the sky. There are also many birds that Xiaodong can't recognize, wearing all kinds of beautiful feathers. The sun had not yet risen in the distance, and the surrounding mountains were quietly sleeping.

The people here are not like the capital, they are all following the rules. There was a shout in front of the gate, and it was clearly heard in the backyard. Hu complained about "no rules" and "rudeness" at first, but after a few days, he got used to it. Even she herself began to speak to people with a loud voice.

It can't be helped, because of the accent, sometimes a very simple sentence has to be repeated several times, and you have to shout loudly at the top of your voice. The seventh sister-in-law asked Hu what kind of vegetables he wanted to buy, and Hu told him to buy a few more. The seventh sister-in-law said that the Hu family couldn't understand, and the Hu family's voice was low, and the seventh sister-in-law couldn't hear it clearly. Xiao Dong couldn't help but laugh and listened to them discuss the short trivial things such as vegetables, turnips, how much meat to cut, and how many chickens to buy. At the back of the house, Hongjing was talking to another helper about washing clothes separately.

In the distance, you can still hear the shouting of the streets, the shouting of horses, the barking of dogs......

Xiao Dong likes these various sounds.

It's real, it's pure life. The people here don't intrigue, they write what they think clearly, they don't have to guess, they don't have to doubt.

There are also all kinds of food in Suizhou. The parfait I ate the morning before yesterday was the same. Although it is called frozen rice cake, it is steaming, as white as snow, as soft as cotton, you don't need to chew when you bite into it, you can feel that the soft and moist rice cake melts in your mouth, and you can swallow it directly. There are six or seven flavors on one plate, dark red ones with mulberry, pale green ones with mint, dotted with red beans, and printed with chrysanthemum petals—people are reluctant to eat them.

Xiao Dong also likes lotus leaf noodles and a coleslaw that she doesn't know the name of. The dish is a little bitter, but the mouth is full of fragrance when you eat it, a few drops of vinegar, and a few drops of sesame oil, it tastes really fragrant and crispy.

There is also minced meat and tofu, and wontons cooked together...... Well, if you can't name something, you can eat it as a meal, or you can eat it as a dish. Qin Lie always poured himself three spoonfuls of chili peppers, and then snorted happily while holding the big bowl to eat. Xiao Dong didn't have the courage to try such a spicy taste, just watching Qin Lie eat it, she felt a little burning pain on the tip of her tongue. Of course, this kind of food is not exquisite, but it tastes very good - very homely, very full, and very convenient, one person and one bowl will pass the stomach, and there is no need to divide several bowls and plates, even rice with vegetables and soup, this bowl is available.

Qin Lie took her across the street, dressed in the same clothes as a local girl, and wore a straw hat on her head. He took her hand and walked through the narrow alley, step by step over the stone steps. When crossing the river, the riverbed was very shallow, and there were a few stepping stones protruding from the water, Qin Lie picked her up on his back and stepped on those stones in great stride. Xiao Dong hugged his neck nervously, she was very light, Qin Lie was as dexterous as a goat, as if there was no other person's weight on his back at all. He leaped briskly, the river rushing below them. The mountains here are different from those in the capital. The mountains near the capital are more gentle, and because people often go to the green and incense, it seems lively and worldly. The mountains here are beautiful and the forests are lush. Unknown wildflowers bloom in the cols, and the flowers stand like small umbrella covers. As soon as the wind blew, the little umbrellas shook their heads and tails in the wind.

No matter where it is, the temple is always lively. There are many people around the temple who do business, selling food, looking at faces, and selling all kinds of small things. Xiaodong looked at everything fresh, and even picked up the fence and compared it twice. Qin Lie pointed to the temple gate and said, "Do you want to go in and burn incense?" ”

"It's fine."

After worshipping, I found that the people around me were all here to ask for children. The god on the top is a fairy wearing a white dress and a red dress, with a serene demeanor, a kind mother, and a small clay doll in front of the table, all wearing clothes, simple and restrained. Red men and green women, each standing in a row. Someone worshipped, so they took a little doll back. Xiao Dong felt curious, and Qin Lie explained to her in a low voice: "This doll is put in the cupboard after being brought back, and it is fed on the fifteenth day of the new year." There was the childless woman who really gave birth to a baby after she went back with the doll. ”

"Is it really that spiritual?"

"Hmm. Look at the doll on the top, the one on the left, doesn't it look a little old? ”

It's older than the one next to it, and although the clothes are still bright, you can see the old and the new at a glance.

"This is the doll that was once taken away. When the family gave birth to a child, they returned the doll. Qin Lie smiled and whispered, "Or, let's invite one too?" ”

Xiao Dong was a little embarrassed, but he also found it interesting: "That's ...... It's good. What please? ”

The male doll was wearing a red dough, and the female doll was wearing a green gown, white and chubby, all of them looked rich and noble, smiling, and standing there neatly.

"It's the same one." Qin Lie said in a low voice.

"How can you be so greedy." Xiao Dong couldn't make up his mind, so he looked left and right, simply closed his eyes, and touched it casually, whatever he touched was what he was.

She touched one, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the mud doll was wrapped in a small red and bright pocket, which turned out to be a male doll.

Qin Lie paid ten copper coins, and Xiao Dong realized that the doll was not held for nothing.

She carefully held the doll in her arms, and Qin Lie instructed her not to turn back within a hundred steps, otherwise the doll would go back and not follow. Xiao Dong thought it was funny, and sure enough, he kept walking out and didn't look back once.

"You also invited the doll?" Yao Jinfeng smiled and said, "I also invited one before, but it was just for fun." She pulled Xiaodong to see, and sure enough, she also had a doll at home, but it was a female doll in a green gown, and there were pastries such as sesame cakes on the small plate in front of her, which were all what children like to eat.

The two sat together and whispered, Xiao Dong blushed, when it came to pregnancy and childbirth, she was still a pure layman. Yao Jinfeng smiled and encouraged her. Maybe everyone has this kind of mentality, and when they become relatives, they always want to pull the red line for the people around them. I am pregnant, and I always encourage the people around me to have children.

"We ...... I want to wait another year or two, I'll be older, and my body will grow a little more. ”

"Well, yes, then you take care of it. Let me tell you, this Niangniang Temple is really spiritual. ”

Jinfeng gave Xiaodong all kinds of gadgets in Suizhou, almost all of which she liked.

There are also Yanzi and their three brothers and sisters, who are almost rooted in the Qin family and follow Zhang Ziqian all the time. The swallow is better, after all, she is a girl, and she is more restrained. Tusheng and Baocheng are inseparable from the front and back, Zhang Ziqian wants to write, they are busy grinding ink, Zhang Ziqian wants to drink tea, they quickly pour water. Zhang Ziqian wanted to read a book, so they stood aside and guarded. If eating, going to the toilet and sleeping can also be done by the disciples, I believe they will definitely be willing to take care of them for him, and the disciples really can't say that they are insincere when they do this. Li Wanhe was really jealous - according to his original words: "Little rabbit cubs, I have raised you for so many years, and I have no credit and hard work, right?" I've never seen you so filial to me. ”

Qin Lie comforted him not very sincerely: "It is said that foreign monks can chant scriptures, and they are also fresh for three days, and after these few days, they will definitely not be unlucky." ”

But for now, they're quite hopeful.

Zhang Ziqian will definitely not stay in Suizhou for a long time, that is to say, the native will also return to the capital with them. And Yanzi - Xiao Dong feels a little difficult to do when he thinks about it.

It's not impossible to take her with you, but—is it really good to do that?

The lessons of the past are still far away, and Yao Jinfeng is a living example. The capital is too complicated to be suitable for Yao Jinfeng, and most of them are not suitable for swallows.

Those questions can be put aside to think about later - only Zhao Zhi, her facts are a headache.

Zhang Manting failed to take the child away when he left, and that chubby little guy is now a baby bump in the whole yard. There's no one who doesn't like him. He loved to laugh and giggled. The small arms and legs are short, fat and tender, which makes people want to twist and pinch it. Xiao Dong bought a wave drum at the temple fair and came back to tease him, shaking the small drum in his ear, as long as the sound of dong dong sounded, the little guy's head turned left and right, looking for the source of the sound, the expression was so innocent and beautiful, it made people feel that their hearts were going to melt.

Xiao Dong began to feel ...... Having a kid might be really nice. Whether it is a boy or a girl, a little nose, a little mouth, a little hands and feet, they trust you so wholeheartedly, rely on you, grow up day by day, and run happily in the courtyard.
