Chapter 17 Gift of the Pendant

In order to take care of the girl next to him who couldn't use knives and forks, Shangguan Nan thought of that good place, started the car, galloped all the way, and after about half an hour, the car stopped outside a small courtyard.

Fang Zhiqihu was suspicious, could it be that there is food here? But it doesn't look like a hotel, right?

With a stomach full of doubts, he followed Shangguan Nan's footsteps into the small courtyard.

What catches the eye is not like the international luxury of 'heaven and earth', but like the teahouse of ancient times, the two-storey, wooden structure of the house, repaired exquisitely clear, antique, a red lacquer plaque is hung on the wide lintel, on which is written 'farmhouse private restaurant' six gold powder characters, on both sides of the vermilion color door there is a pair of strong pen force of the chapter grass Wenzhen

The people live on food

Food safety first

Fang Zhiqi came to his senses, it turned out that this was a restaurant, and with this couplet, it was certain that the boss was a businessman with a moral conscience, and cooking was all based on his conscience.

"Master, you're here, long time no see!" Suddenly, a man wearing an apron immediately ran over, said in surprise, and gave Shangguan Nan a big hug after speaking.

Shangguan Nan patted the man's sturdy back and said, "How is the business lately?" ”

Let go of Shangguan Nan, and the man responded: "That's it!" Let's go, let's talk upstairs! After speaking, he stretched out his hand to gesture for please, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the girl behind Shangguan Nan, was slightly stunned, and asked, "Who is this?" ”

"I'll tell you later! Fang Zhiqi, keep up! Shangguan Nan sold a pass, looked at Fang Zhiqi stunned, and reminded.

To Fang Zhiqi's surprise, the first floor was full, originally thought that only Shangguan Nan had strange ideas, and wasted half an hour on the road for a meal, but he didn't expect that there were so many strange people, is the food here really delicious?

With curiosity, Fang Zhiqi followed Shangguan Nan to the second floor.

There are two tables left on the second floor, but they never entertain guests, of course, every time Shangguan Nan comes to eat, it is arranged on the second floor, because it only entertains relatives and friends here.

Fang Zhiqi found a window seat and sat down, through the wooden window, what greeted him was a big vegetable field, the vegetables at this time grew just right, a piece of green, Fang Zhiqi was very surprised, there is such a large vegetable garden in the place where every inch of land is in S City, this area is estimated to be 1000 square meters!

"That vegetable plot is reclaimed by Lao Qi himself, all the small dishes in the store come from here, Lao Qi's dishes never use pesticides, even the fertilizer is pure natural, and you will know its deliciousness when you taste the dishes." Shangguan Nan seemed to know the doubts in Fang Zhiqi's heart, and without waiting for her to speak, he explained on his own.

The man known as Lao Qi, formerly known as Zhou Hongqi, has a horse face, light eyebrows, a high forehead and a high nose, and a tall figure. He is the owner of this restaurant, although he has great respect for Shangguan Nan, but the two are good brothers who live and die together.

"It's really strange to see such a big vegetable garden in S City!" Fang Zhiqi couldn't help but admire, a pair of big shining eyes full of incredulity.

"What's so strange about that? I'm just a farmer, and growing vegetables is what I'm good at. Lao Qi shrugged and said disapprovingly.

Hearing the word farmer, Fang Zhiqi's heart seemed to be pulled by a little, her identity is also a farmer, even if she has lived in S City for ten years, she can't forget that she is a child born in a peasant family.

Ten years ago, my parents also lived a life of sunrise and sunset. At that time, she always thought that the life facing the loess with her back to the sky was too hard, too tiring, and she couldn't make a lot of money in her life.

But now ten years later, she found that in fact, that kind of life is the most comfortable, the most stress-free, the least dark and complicated society, you can sleep at night, unlike the bustling city, even if it is three watches in the middle of the night, there are still many people who are desperately staying up late and working overtime for their livelihood, because here, there is no place for no money, and even drinking water requires money.

"Is there anything you'd like to eat?" Shangguan Nan was not happy that the girl next to him was interested in Lao Qi, so he suddenly interrupted the topic and asked.

Fang Zhiqi was still looking out the window in a daze, immersed in his thoughts, and didn't hear the question of the man next to him.

Shangguan Nan turned his face suspiciously, watching Fang Zhiqi keep staring at the vegetable field outside the window, and muttered puzzledly: Is the vegetable field so beautiful?

Immediately, he reached out and slapped her on the top of the head.

"Ouch!" Fang Zhiqi came back to his senses suddenly, touched the top of his head, and glared at Shangguan Nan unhappily.

Is this guy misplaced?

"What about you? What are you doing in a daze? ”

Am I in a daze getting in your way? Really!

"Don't scold me in your heart, if you want to scold, scold openly." Seeing Fang Zhiqi flattening her mouth unconvinced, Shangguan Nan seemed to know the inner activities in her heart.

"Master, treat girls gently, by the way, you haven't introduced this beautiful little sister to me yet?" Lao Qi seemed to be unaccustomed to Shangguan Nan's tone of voice to the girl, and hurriedly persuaded him.

After speaking, her eyes silently began to look at Fang Zhiqi, a long black hair draped over her shoulders like a waterfall, curly bangs like a blue silk braided ink chrysanthemum, hiding a pair of slender black eyebrows, under the slender eyebrows, flashing a pair of crystal bright and clear big eyes.

I don't know if it was because of his words, she actually smiled gratefully at herself, her eyes bent like crescent moons, as if the spirit rhyme also overflowed. Between a smile and a smile, the noble look is naturally revealed, and people have to marvel at her elegant and delicate light.

Lao Qi didn't know it, since he was stunned.

The taste of being greedily stared at by the things he likes is really uncomfortable, Shangguan Nan is super unhappy, but he is also a brother, and it is inconvenient to say the words that hurt his feelings, so he coughed hard and said, "Fang Zhiqi." ”

Shangguan Nan's exaggerated coughing voice immediately pulled back Lao Qi's thoughts, and after calming down, he promoted himself: "Hello Fang Zhiqi, my name is Zhou Hongqi, and I am 30 years old this year. You can call me Seventh Brother or Seventh Brother, but I would like to hear you call me Seventh Brother, my family is all brothers, no sisters, I have hoped that my mother would give me a sister since I was a child, but what popped out of her belly was a handle. ”

After speaking, he said twice, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth.

"I call you Seventh Brother, will you really be my eldest brother in the future?" Fang Zhiqi blinked, and his slender eyelashes also blinked, like two butterflies dancing.

"Of course, the eldest brother will go to the soup for the little sister, and he will not hesitate!" Lao Qi nodded vigorously, patted his chest, and said with an oath.

After hearing his words, Fang Zhiqi's heart subconsciously stirred, did he really become my eldest brother? Am I not alone in the future? If that's the case, then no matter what I encounter in the future, my big brother will help me.

"Big brother!" Fang Zhiqi trembled and shouted, with a faint trace of tears in the depths of his apricot eyes.

No one knows, deep down in her heart, she longs for her relatives too much, since Xu Manli's death, she feels lonely and afraid, no matter what grievances a person encounters, she has to swallow it all by herself, no one comforts, no one cares, she thought that the days of being alone would continue to follow her.

But unexpectedly, a big brother suddenly fell from the sky around him, a big brother who did not hesitate to go to the soup for her, can Fang Zhiqi not be moved? She even wanted to kneel down and thank God!

"Ai! Haha, I'll have a sister in the future. Lao Qi responded happily, the corners of his mouth cracked a big arc, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, suddenly he felt that there was a feeling of seeing each other late, looking at Fang Zhiqi's delicate and delicate facial features, he liked it no matter how he looked at it, and he was excited, I have a sister, I finally have a sister!

Although Fang Zhiqi sat quietly, his originally lonely heart seemed to have been injected with a lively factor and became noisy.

"I want to meet my sister!" Shangguan Nan said coldly.

Compared with Lao Qi's excitement, he was very sour, as if he was sharing his most precious treasure with others, and his heart was uneven: This Lao Qi really wants to be crazy about his sister, and he even advocated recognizing my Fang Zhiqi as his sister without my consent! Why do you want to go to the soup and fire, with me here, do you still need your escort? Really!

"Of course! How could I forget this greeting gift? After speaking, Lao Qi took out a Guanyin pendant from his pocket.

Shangguan Nan was slightly stunned, he remembered that this jasper pendant was the ancestor of the Zhou family, how could he give it to Fang Zhiqi?

"Old Seven, isn't this ......?" Shangguan Nan asked.

Lao Qi's eyes flashed slightly, and he said: "Hey, I'm a big old man, it's useless to take it, it's best to give it to my sister." ”

After speaking, the other party's Qi said: "Qiqi, this is the eldest brother's gift to you, come, the eldest brother will bring it to you!" ”

Fang Zhiqi saw that the pendant in Lao Qi's hand was round and smooth, as if the whole piece of jade was soaked in water, moist and shiny, dark green, without any variegation, and was carefully polished by someone to exude a burst of aura. Although she didn't know what the market price of this piece of jade was, the quality was definitely excellent, and the price should not be cheap.

"Big brother, wouldn't this be too precious?"

"What is precious and not valuable? It sounds like jade, but for the eldest brother who does farm work all year round, it is just a stone, is it more valuable than a person? After Lao Qi finished speaking, regardless of Fang Zhiqi's obstruction, he insisted on putting this piece of Zhou family's ancestral jasper on her. said happily in my heart: It is cost-effective to exchange a piece of jade for a sister!

"Thank you, big brother!" Fang Zhiqi touched the pendant around her neck, and a touching sweet smile bloomed on her lips.

Shangguan Nan saw that Lao Qi really gave Fang Zhiqi the ancestral thing, and his heart was indescribably complicated, Lao Qi was not willing to give it to that woman before, but today he gave it to Fang Zhiqi without thinking about it, does Lao Qi really want to recognize Fang Zhiqi as his sister or? It's the former, that's okay, it's naturally a good thing that one more person cares about Fang Zhiqi, but if it's the latter, wouldn't it be very dangerous? I Shangguan Nan didn't even get her heart done, don't be the first to be the first to be caught by Lao Qi!

The more Shangguan Nan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and when he looked sideways, he just caught a glimpse of Fang Zhiqi stroking the jasper pendant around his neck with a smile on the corner of his mouth, this scene seemed to sting his eyeballs, and he felt more and more that this pendant was very eye-catching, and he couldn't wait to tear it off with one hand.

Stretched out his hand several times to tear off the pendant, but remembering the various life-and-death moments between him and Lao Qi before, Shangguan Nan gritted his teeth and retracted his hand stiffly.

"Why don't you make a few specialty dishes to celebrate?" Shangguan Nan changed the topic and said. But there was a sour taste in the words.

Lao Qi didn't break it directly, but just slapped his forehead, "Look at me, forget about this as soon as you are happy, you sit down first, I will personally cook a few good dishes for my sister, wait a while, it will be fine immediately!" After saying that, he hurriedly ran downstairs.
