Before the days came to the month of Layue, Zifu and they returned from vacation, Zeng Ruixiang also ended his schoolwork in private school, and concentrated on tutoring Zifu's homework at home, instructing him how to review the problem, how to solve the problem, how to make up his mind and so on. This year, I didn't care about selling couplets, and Shen was also busy with the luggage, clothes and other things to bring for the preparation of the exam, and he didn't have a good birth for many years, and he always felt unstable in his heart, for fear of missing something.

Zeng Ruixiang explained her when he saw this: "You have to care so much, the child can't be more nervous when he sees it, you should relax your heart, the child is not very old this year, even if it doesn't work this year, won't there be next year?" When Shen heard this, he felt that there was some truth, so he settled down and prepared food, clothing and other things, and no longer mentioned the matter of rushing for the exam.

Just after the Lantern Festival, Zeng Ruixiang took Zifu to the county seat first, saying that he was looking for a former colleague to be a guarantor, and then a good student to give him some advice, Zeng Ruixiang originally wanted to rent a house to live quietly with him for a month, but Zifu still asked to live in his dormitory in the school, saying that it should be regarded as a normal practice pen, so that there would be no pressure, Zeng Ruixiang saw that everything that should be explained was properly explained, so he had to go home by himself.

Shen waited for the good news that Zifu had passed the county examination in his eager anticipation, and cried with joy, Zeng Ruixiang smiled and said: "Where is this, the road ahead is still far away, I see how many tears you can shed?" It's just the easiest step, what's there to celebrate? ”

"That's it, my mother is too unconfident in my eldest brother, and I never asked if I didn't look at it, because I believe in the strength of my eldest brother." Ziqing added with a smile, in exchange for Shen's white eyes.

In late March, Zifu went home, Shen was busy again, and asked Zeng Ruixiang to temporarily go to Anzhou to rent a small courtyard, the environment of the hotel is still a little noisy, and he has to take the exam three times in a row, and he will definitely not be able to bear it if he does not rest well.

Zeng Ruixiang saw that Shen kept chattering, and said: "You can rest assured, I will help the child arrange everything, and Fu'er is not small." He knows how to take care of himself, but you. If you keep chattering, you should be a demon. ”

Ziqing smiled and quipped: "Just let my mother accompany me so that I can cook food for my eldest brother." If you don't eat well, your body can't bear it. ”

Who knew that Shen Shi listened, looked at Ziqing and said, "You think I don't want to go?" If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't leave home, I wouldn't have gone. Save you from laughing at me here. It just so happens that you go cook for your brother, I see that you have almost exercised over the years. Be careful and don't be afraid to spend money. ”

"Mother. When did you see me afraid of spending money? I'll go, I'll go. My brother is going to be admitted, but I have a share of the credit. Brother, don't forget. Ziqing also wanted to learn about the ancient scientific expedition. So it's very positive.

Zifu agreed with a smile and said: "Qing'er is the lucky star of our family, Qing'er goes, the eldest brother must have a smooth journey, and the text is like a spring." ”

On the day he went out, Zeng Ruixiang also went with him. Because he still has to find a widow as a guarantor, Zeng Ruixiang has a lot of colleagues, this will be done quickly, rent a house, and Zifu will let Zeng Ruixiang go back. Go to your companions and consult with one another.

Ziqing accompanied Zifu to live in Anzhou. Every day when I go out to buy vegetables in the nearest market, in addition to cooking, the rest of the time is to do needlework or embroidery at home, flip through idle books, after all, I am almost ten years old, a little girl is always out of the house, not to mention that she is still a road idiot, Zifu is not worried that she goes out alone.

On this day, Ziqing was alone at home, and suddenly remembered that most of the peach trees in the back mountain have bloomed this year, after the Dragon Boat Festival, how can you collect more than ten baskets of peaches, the family is not enough, and she is unwilling to set up a stall in the market every day to sell, why not take this opportunity to ask the shopkeeper Zhou, if he plans to collect it, he doesn't have to go to the tooth shop. Thinking of this, Ziqing changed her clothes and went out.

When I arrived at the door of Zhou's grocery store, when I crossed the street, Ziqing looked at the big vegetable market not far away, thinking that I would come out later to buy a fish head stew soup to replenish my eldest brother's brain, but I didn't notice that a carriage was galloping behind her, and when the driver stopped the horse, Ziqing was also sitting on the ground, and the driver was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, who hurriedly ran over when he saw this, and asked, "How are you?" Did you bump into something? ”

Ziqing stood up and patted her clothes, and before she could speak, she heard the young man say in surprise: "It's you, I still remember you, the little girl who sells lanterns." ”

Ziqing looked at him inexplicably, and couldn't find a trace of déjà vu, at this time, a beautiful young man of twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in a gorgeous costume, walked in the car, and the young man seemed to recognize her, nodded with a smile, and asked, "Looking for the shopkeeper Zhou?" What's so good this time? ”

This time, Ziqing remembered that when selling lanterns at the end of that year, the owner of Zhou's shopkeeper brought two children, as if he had some impressions, you know, Ziqing not only can't remember the road, but also can't remember people, and ordinary strangers will only remember each other's appearance when they see each other three or four times. So Ziqing, the beautiful boy in the costume in front of him, was naturally unimpressed. Seeing that Ziqing was stunned, he didn't know what he was thinking, and when he saw that he didn't have the slightest eagerness or surprise, he knocked Ziqing on the head with a fan and asked unhappily, "What do you think?" Could it be that you will be stupid this time? Or do you not remember Young Master Ben at all? ”

"Oh, I remember, you are the young master of the owner." Ziqing touched her head and replied a little unhappily.

"Now that you think about it, you seem a little unhappy to see me, why?" The young man in Chinese costume asked.

"You let me hit you with a car first, scare you, and then hit you with a fan, and then you smile at me with a smile on your face?" Ziqing muttered.

"Hehe, you are still so sharp-toothed, Young Master Ben knocks you to look up to you, do you think everyone has this honor?" The young man in Chinese clothes opened the fan and slapped it a few times, looking very dragged.

Ziqing rolled her eyes, and was about to speak, when Shopkeeper Zhou came out, and asked with a smile to the young man in Chinese costumes: "The third young master is passing by today?" Or did you come to Lao Zhou? ”

"It's okay, it's not a big deal, you can ask this little girl what's the matter first?" The third young master said.

Shopkeeper Zhou noticed that Ziqing was also there, Ziqing was not hypocritical, for fear of delaying other people's time, so he said his own thing in a few words, and Shopkeeper Zhou did not reply immediately, only said that he had to ask before he knew.

Seeing this, Ziqing hurriedly said goodbye. I didn't notice that the third young master gave the long entourage who was driving the car a look, and the chief casually followed, saying that he wanted to send Ziqing, but Ziqing couldn't refuse, so he had to say: "This big brother, what is your surname?" I still have to go to the market to buy a fish, which delays your time, and it is not good to miss the young master, besides, I live in the city now, which is very convenient. ”

"It's okay, the young master asked me to send it, I have to do it. My surname is Lin, just call me Lin Kangping. ”

Ziqing saw that she couldn't refuse, so she had to hurriedly buy a big bighead carp, on the way, Lin Kangping asked Ziqing why she moved to the city to live, Ziqing told him the reason, and the two didn't talk too much, Lin Kangping is not a talkative, Ziqing is also afraid that he will lose a lot of words, and when he got home, he was busy cleaning up the fish head stew, and Ziqing quickly forgot about it.

Who knew that two days later, Zifu was at home to warm up class, Ziqing was about to burn pork ribs, Lin Kangping came to the door with the third young master, the third young master was happy when he saw Ziqing, and asked, "What kind of clothes are you wearing, why have I never seen it?" It's weird and funny. ”

Ziqing glanced at the white Western-style apron made by herself, with ruffles, and a pair of sleeves of the same color, and a cute duck embroidered on the pocket of the apron.

"You haven't seen a lot of it, I came up with it myself, it's easy to wear when cooking, and you don't have to splash your clothes with oil."

"That's right, it's pretty good-looking, a little playful. I didn't expect your little head to be a little smart. ”

When Ziqing was about to speak, Zifu heard movement inside, came out to take a look, and asked, "Qing'er, why don't you let the guests come into the house?" What's the reason for blocking the door? ”

Ziqing hurriedly explained: "It's the third young master of the owner of Zhou's shopkeeper. "It's really a mouthful.

"My surname is Wen, just call me Wen San, hello, you are Ziqing's eldest brother, right? We've met, and I was next to you when you and Ling Mei were selling lanterns that year. ”

Zifu immediately remembered when he heard it, "Oh, hello, I remember." Thanks to your father's care in the past few years, I am very grateful, but I don't know why you are here today... ”

"It's not about any care, it's also that your watermelon is good, and it's going to market early, so everyone takes what they need. I came to see Ling Mei today, I accidentally knocked her down on the street the day before yesterday, and I don't know if it hurt her? Let's take a look today. As he spoke, he took a string of paper bags from Lin Kangping's hand and handed them over.

Zifu and Ziqing didn't reach out to pick it up, Zifu pulled Ziqing to look up and down, touched it with his hand again, and learned that his sister was indeed fine, so he put his mind at ease.

"It's all right, right? That day I saw her get up from the ground, patronizing and recognizing her with joy, I forgot to ask her if there was anything wrong, so I was worried at home for two days. Wen San held up the things in his hand and said, "It's just some snacks, you're welcome." After saying that, he went into the house and put it down.

Seeing this, Zifu had to order Ziqing to serve tea, because of Zifu's polite alienation, he sat down for a while, Wen San's master and servant said goodbye and left, Zifu carefully asked Ziqing what happened, Ziqing saw the worry on the eldest brother's face, and said: "Big brother, I really just bumped into this time by chance, and I didn't hurt anything." I'll be sure to pay attention to my walking in the future. Besides, after you finish the exam in a few days, we will go back to Dongtang. I don't go out much now. ”

Zifu listened to it and thought about it, Xu is too careful, his sister is still young now, listening to the meaning of her words, he didn't understand what he was worried about, Xu was not enlightened, and he returned to the countryside in a few days, and the two could not have a chance to see each other again, so he quickly put down the matter and devoted himself to preparing for the exam.
