Every time Liu Zhi buys fish, Li Chun always picks it for her, and often stuffs a few small fish and half a basket of dried shrimp as an additive. How could Liu Wang take advantage of a child, and always told Li's mother to give enough money, but every time Li's mother came back, she found that Li Chun buried the extra money at the bottom of her vegetable basket, and even cut out a few copper coins from the fish's stomach at one time, which made people cry and laugh.

"Hey, Brother Xiaochun, if you do this again, I won't buy fish at your house, lest my father always talk about me." The little willow branch voice is sweet and crisp, wearing a bamboo and green cloth shirt and two buns, as she speaks, the head rope is flicked one by one, the complexion is fair, and the eyebrows and eyes are delicate. Li Chun watched her swallow saliva, perhaps because he couldn't eat enough all day, he always felt that the willow branches looked delicious, either like a white fat dumpling wrapped in turquoise leaves, or like a piece of soft and fragrant tung leaf glutinous rice dumplings; Or a glutinous rice ball, or a brown sugar bun. In short, she is white and glutinous, sweet and sweet.

"It's okay, I shot the fish for you, and I love to send whoever I want." Li Chun swallowed his saliva back.

Liu Zhi tilted his head and thought about it: "Then I'll give you something too, Brother Xiaochun, what do you like?" "I like everything." Li Chun blurted out.

The willow branch reached out and took off the head rope on one side, and at the end of the head rope was a pair of finger-sized silver bells, which were very delicate. She handed it to him, "Well, this is for you." Her palms were white and tender, small, like petals. Li Chun didn't want to stretch out his hands behind his back, his hands were too rough, from rocking the oars to spreading nets and pulling nets, the tender flesh of his shoulders and palms was turned over, and the water blistered layer after layer, forming a thick cocoon.

Seeing that he hesitated, Liu Zhi took the initiative to grab his hand and stuffed the head rope into his palm: "I like the head rope of this pair of bells, Brother Xiaochun, don't lose it." ”

Liu Zhi got Li Chun's companion, which was simply sent down from heaven, and he couldn't be more satisfied. He is different from Feng Jiaojiao, the girl is wild in her mouth, Feng Jiaojiao still can't do things like going up the tree to dig birds and go down to the river to fish, not to mention that Feng Jiaojiao will fight with herself, where is Li Chunqian, she can't pick the moon for herself, don't blame her for her bad idea, she only complains that she can't find a long ladder. With Li Chun's long-coveted magpie nest, the abandoned Wang family's abandoned garden, the copper bell in the attic, and the strange stone that looked like a chubby pig behind the Jiang Temple were all moved.

The summer sun rises early, and the sky is red in the morning, Li Ma opened the door, and suddenly saw a black thing at the door and screamed in fright, just howling half a way to see this thing move: "Li Ma is me." Mother Li breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be Li Chun.

The willow branch, whose hair was only half combed, heard the movement and flew over: "Brother Xiaochun, why are you so early, is there something wrong?" ”

"I know the monkey I caught last night, didn't you say you wanted to eat it?" Li Chun was still covered with dew, but his black eyes were shining, his eyes were good, not as narrow as men, but round as women, with curved corners.

In the middle of the night, when I crawl out of the ground and go up to the tree, I can't eat it until dawn when the larvae have broken out of their shells. Along the Qingshui River, there is a long forest of more than ten miles of poplars and willows, and in the summer night, it is all known to catch monkeys, some are greedy for their own enjoyment, and some are sold to subsidize their families. This monkey knows that after frying, the shell is crispy, and the meat inside is full of fragrance, and it is only a short season, so it is a fresh thing, and this basket will be sold for dozens of dollars in the restaurant. Li Chun's basket was full in more than an hour, and he didn't bother to go back to the boat, so he sat directly at the gate of Liu Zhi's house with the bamboo basket and waited for dawn.

Most of the Tianshuijing Street is a layout with shops in front and courtyards in the back. There are two in the backyard of the willow branch, the pink and white wall has just been brushed last year, along the wall a hibiscus opens just right, a loquat in the door, a soaphorn tree, the soaphorn tree is already very tall, the umbrella generally covers half of the yard under the tree a set of stone tables and chairs, the family sits and eats and drinks and chats when the wind is beautiful, so it is not comfortable.

Mother Li took the monkey away, and Liu Zhi took Li Chun outside the kitchen, and she scooped water with a water scoop to wash Li Chun's feet full of mud. She is small, and she has to stand on tiptoe to have a high water tank, so Li Chun has to scoop it herself, but Liu Zhi refuses: "Let me come." She likes to be able to help him do little things like he can do for himself, and neither of them has to say a word of thanks. Liu Zhi stepped on the small bench to scoop the water into the basin, and also held out his special osmanthus fragrant pancreas like a treasure: "Brother Xiaochun, you use it." ”

Li Chun washed her feet, Liu Zhi took a snack and put it on the stone table decently, like an adult entertaining guests, she pulled Li Chun to sit on the stone bench, and the two talked endlessly. Willow Zhi listened to him talk about how to go to the willow forest by the river in the middle of the night, the mist drifted in the middle of the night, two dim stars bent at the Emei moon, the owl seemed to be smiling, and the fox and wolf squirmed through the forest. Liu Zhi's hairs stood on end when he heard this, and he looked at Li Chun solemnly, only thinking that he was so amazing, "Brother Xiaochun, I heard that there is a ghost fire in the woods at night, have you seen it?" ”

"Why haven't I seen it. It was green and shiny, and it floated towards people, and when it floated over, it all whined with a sound—" Willow Branch was listening attentively, and leaned forward most of his body, and was so startled by his learning that he almost didn't fall. Seeing him laugh and knowing that he was scary, he stretched out his paws to slap him like a cat boy who was provoked.

Liu Wang drank a plate of fried monkeys, his mouth was full of fresh fragrance, and Li muttered: "Who girl has such a wild one." At lunch, the willow branch clamored that he would go to the riverside forest to catch monkeys and watch the ghost fire at night, "What are you afraid of, I am holding a small lantern" and added, "Brother Xiaochun is not afraid to accompany him, if there is a ghost, we will catch one, tie it up and send it to Daddy's shop to sell for money." Liu Wang laughed and scolded, almost choking, and finally extinguished his daughter's whimsy, and asked Li's mother to take her to take a nap, and she was still talking to Li's dinner table.

"She plays with Li Chun every day, not to mention the appearance of a young lady, even the shape of a girl is almost gone." Lee's Road.

Liu Wang's parents died in his early years, and he didn't care about Li Chun's humble background, so he comforted Li: "I know you think Li Chun is rude, but our family is not a big family, what's the big deal with two children playing together." We only have one girl, it's better to be stronger, so as not to be confused and bullied in the future. ”

Speaking of not having a son, Li suddenly felt short of breath, and he also extinguished his heart of learning needlework at home according to the willow branch, thinking that even if he raised a delicate daughter, he couldn't be a wife who could not be a slave and a maid according to his own door, and it was really better to be literate and polite.

Soon the pomegranate flowers thanked the osmanthus fragrance, and the osmanthus blossomed chrysanthemums, and the chrysanthemums were snowflakes after the chrysanthemums.
