"So, boy, being strong isn't a bad thing, but it's not the only good thing. A good knife is used on the blade, and the most important thing is to complete the purpose with the least effort, and if you don't learn it, you will never know this truth, and you will have no strength but no use. ”

Wang Xiaoshan left in despair, Cheng Qing looked at his back and felt sad, and wanted to step forward to comfort a few words, but Nian Minghe stopped him in time: "At this time, you should let him think about it, blind persuasion will only make him more confused." ”

Cheng Qing thought that this was right, so he gave up stepping forward.

On the way back, Cheng Qing still couldn't forget what had just happened, and asked curiously: "These are really learned from books?" I think I've learned the Four Books and the Five Classics since I was a child, and the art of war is also involved, but I really haven't seen this, it's amazing! ”

"How is that possible?" Nian Minghe was a little embarrassed and said: "The last time I annoyed Mei Yu, he thought about insulting me, and this is also a way for him to insult me." ”

The sense of worship for Nian Minghe has only left the lofty praise of Mei Yu so far.

"But..."Nian Minghe said thoughtfully, "Who is that kid?" ”

"A little kid in Wangjia Village, I like him very much."

"I can see that I treat him like my own child."

Cheng Qing was silent when he heard this.

Nian Minghe realized that he had said the wrong thing, and was about to say something to make amends, when he heard Cheng Qing say: "Indeed, if he is my child, I think I am the happiest father in the world, and the person who loves him the most in the world, but unfortunately, he is not." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to provoke your sadness." Nian Minghe apologized.

Cheng Qing smiled: "It's okay, after so many years, I've slowly gotten used to it." Come back, it's almost time, it's time for lunch. ”

Nian Minghe looked at Cheng Qing's lonely back, and immediately thanked himself for his persistence at the beginning, if it weren't for his insistence that Mei Yu was not dead, maybe Cheng Qing's present is his present, and it is not even as chic and open-minded as Cheng Qinglai.

Maybe he hasn't figured it out yet, otherwise it's much better to have someone by his side than to be alone.

Nian Minghe kept up with Cheng Qing and tried his best to provoke the topic, but Cheng Qing no longer seemed enthusiastic and spoke a lot more sluggishly.

Back at home, sure enough, Mei Yu was reading with the books in Cheng Qing's study on the recliner with relish, and the kitchen was also in full swing, it seemed that she was planning to entertain her.

"I've said it several times, don't lie in the sun and read, don't you want your eyes?" Nian Minghe hated that iron could not be steel, and he took away the rising book that Mei Yuzheng was reading, which made Mei Yu frown, very dissatisfied.

"Let me see what books make Young Master Mei so fascinated that he even reads them even at the cost of being scolded."

Cheng Qing walked up to Nian Minghe with a smile, took the book in Nian Minghe's hand, and said softly: "Three Kingdoms"? I thought it would be more appealing to you! I've been learning this book since I was a child, so I've read it countless times, right? ”

Mei Yu saw the opportunity to get started immediately, took a gun from the book in Cheng Qing's hand, and read the book lying down in the most comfortable way for herself, and looked at Nian Minghe with threatening eyes, Nian Minghe, who was familiar with his methods, had to be out of sight and sat down on the stone chair next to him.

Cheng Qing watched the interaction between the two of them helplessly, although he was envious in his heart, he was more happy for them.

The noon meal is indeed sumptuous, there are not many delicacies, but there are many styles, and the craftsmanship is not bad, Mei Yu and Nian Minghe have long been tired of eating the food of the inn in the past month, and they can taste some farmhouse dishes so easily, it is indeed a delicacy.

Seeing that they ate well, Cheng Qing was also more satisfied, and asked Xiaoyun and Niansi to eat together, in the past, the three of them usually ate together, but now that there are guests, Xiaoyun and Niansi dare not make a mistake, and wait by the side.

"No, Childe, I'll just wait for Nian Si and I to go to the kitchen to eat something."

Seeing that the two of them were a little embarrassed, Cheng Qing didn't say more, and ate by himself, because the two men at the table ate well without him greeting him.

After the satisfactory lunch, Nian Minghe and Mei Yu both touched their stomachs and stood up, and said very happily: "Cheng Qing, I don't want to leave at all, eat and drink well and sleep well here, it is really a fairy life." ”

"Brother Nian, do you mean I'm chasing you?"

"That's not it, it's just that the two of us didn't come out with enough coils, I'm afraid I can't afford to pay the silver taels that live here."

Just as he was joking, Uncle Liu appeared at the door, holding a cloth bag in his hand, which seemed to contain a lot of things, and it looked bulging.

Seeing Uncle Liu, Liu Niansi immediately walked out, the two talked for a while, took the bag in Uncle Liu's hand, and Uncle Liu left.

"Niansi, why didn't your father let him in when he came?" Cheng Qing is not an unreasonable person, so he naturally welcomes Uncle Liu to enter the door.

Liu Niansi walked up to Cheng Qing with a cloth bag and said, "My father said that a few days ago, my father made my favorite candied fruit, and I don't know if it is in line with the rules, so I sent some to my son, let me bring it to you, there is something at home, he won't enter the door." ”

Cheng Qing took the cloth bag, which was full of big preserves one by one, dark yellow in color, and looked very delicious.

The two people next to him who had already finished eating looked at the candied fruit, and their eyes lit up again, especially Mei Yu, before Cheng Qing could speak, his hand had already reached into the bag and took one, quickly stuffed it into his mouth, nodded exaggeratedly, and wanted to rush into the bag with his hand, but fortunately he was caught by Nian Minghe, otherwise this bag of candied fruit would have been eaten by Mei Yu.

Cheng Qing saw that Mei Yu liked it so much, and unconsciously stretched out his hand, the candied fruit was sweet but not greasy, it tasted like eating maltose, and the best thing was that it didn't stick to the teeth, not too delicious.

Seeing Cheng Qing's expression, Liu Niansi laughed: "My father's candied fruit is notoriously delicious, and every year I will ask him to make a lot for me to eat, Brother Cheng likes it." ”

"What do you mean I like?" Cheng Qing smiled and handed the cloth bag to Nian Si: "Although your father sent it for me to eat, but who is it for, can I not know?" Your father worked hard to make it for you, you can keep it for yourself, go and hide it, don't let Xiaoyun find out, otherwise there will be nothing left! ”

Mei Yu was still bouncing, and Nian Minghe rarely saw Mei Yu who was so excited, so he could only coax him to buy it for him when the time came.

It's not that Nian Minghe is ruthless and doesn't let him eat it, but candied fruit is a sweet tooth, Mei Yu loves sweets, and has eaten to the point of eating his teeth badly, and he is the one who rolls in bed every time he hurts, and he is the one who eats the most, but it is Nian Minghe who suffers.

So Nian Minghe gradually kept sweets away from Mei Yu's life, and only allowed him to eat a little a day, although Mei Yu was not happy, but he thought that the toothache was terrible, but today this candied fruit made him explode.

Liu Niansi naturally couldn't take it, he put the candied fruit in Cheng Qing's hand, and said solemnly: "This is my father and my father's filial piety to Brother Cheng, if I take it, my father will definitely beat me to death, so I won't take it." ”

Before Cheng Qing could say the next word, the bag in his hand ran to Mei Yu's hand, and he was desperately protecting the candied fruit, with a vigilant face.

Nian Minghe: "......"

Cheng Qing: "......"

Thoughts: "......"

"Brother Mei, even if it's filial piety to me, it shouldn't be your turn, right?"

Mei Yu guarded stubbornly, and his eyes did not let go of anyone who wanted the candied fruit in his hand.

"Mei Yu, return it to Cheng Qing. This is what someone's father made and gave to someone, you can't just take it. ”

"It's okay, if Young Master Mei likes it, I'll ask my father to send a little more, there must be more at home." Nian Si hurriedly explained, he didn't care at all.

Mei Yu's eyes were even brighter than candlelight.

Xiao Yun, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, heard the noise in the front yard, and also poked his head out curiously to see what was going on.

"That's it, Brother Mei will give it to him if he likes it." Cheng Qing has seen Mei Yu's child side today, and I have to say that it is very enjoyable, especially when he sees that Nian Minghe still has no way at all.

Nian Minghe: "You can't take it, have you forgotten that you have a toothache?" ”

Mei Yu didn't eat another one, just held the bag and didn't let go.

"One a day?" Nian Minghe can only bargain with the stubborn Mei Yu.

Mei Yu held out a hand.

"No, two is at most, not more."

Mei Yu thought about it and nodded, so all the bags of candied fruit belonged to Mei Yu.

Nian Minghe saw that he really liked it, and asked him curiously to take one, it tasted really good.

"To make you see the jokes, he is like a child sometimes."

"It's okay, it's rare to see Brother Mei like that, and I'm worthy of this bag of preserves." Cheng Qing also smiled, thinking that it would be better to send something to the Liu family later.

Mei Yu suddenly thought of something, pulled Nian Minghe's sleeve and gestured something to him, Cheng Qing looked at the clouds and fog, Nian Minghe could see it clearly.

Nian Minghe smiled bitterly, and he really didn't know how to speak.

"What's wrong? What did Brother Mei say? ”

Nian Minghe said embarrassedly, but not to Cheng Qing but to Liu Niansi on the side: "This little boy, I want to ask, do you have any extra candied fruit?" ”

Liu Niansi waved his hand in a panic, and was about to kneel down: "Yes, yes, it should." ”

"I ask you how about buying it? We also have a little boy at home, and he also loves to eat these sweets, we want to buy some back for him to eat, what is the price to negotiate, I don't know if it's convenient? ”

"I... Brother Cheng, I, no, I..." Liu Niansi was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

Cheng Qingxiao's tears are about to come out, Mei Yu is really extraordinary.

In order to prove that he did not deceive, Nian Minghe took out all the silver taels in the money bag, and counted ten taels of silver: "Are these enough?" ”

Liu Niansi looked at Cheng Qing anxiously, really panicked.

Cheng Qing accepted it unceremoniously and stuffed it into Liu Niansi's hand: "Go, tell your father, let him pack another bag and bring it here." ”
