"Isn't there another kid named Rui'er?"

Qin Zhiyuan's family is not big, and he built a stove in the courtyard when he entered the door, three rooms side by side, and a study on the right, Liu Zixi followed him to study in the study on weekdays.

"Rui'er Niang is sick, so she won't be here for a few days."

Qin Zhiyuan invited Ye Lan to sit down, poured her a bowl of herbal tea, and then said to Liu Zixi: "Can you go back to study yesterday's homework?" You go and familiarize yourself with what you're going to talk about today, and I'll go over later. ”

Liu Zixi looked at Brother Qin, then at his mother, but turned around and left.

Ye Lan took a sip of herbal tea, brushed away the heat when she came, and heard a trace of laziness in Qin Zhiyuan's voice, and asked her, "Mrs. Liu has something to say?" ”

This kind of feeling of being seen through at a glance is not very pleasant, but Ye Lan didn't want to stay with him for too long, so she asked, "I heard Zixi say, you often ask him about me?" ”

Xu is Qin Zhiyuan didn't expect her to ask directly, and he slowed down for a moment before nodding.

"Qin Gongzi, I think you also understand, people say that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, Zixi is a child who can't think so much, and he is very protective of you, so he naturally has nothing to hide from you. But you're an adult, what do you do when you always inquire about women's families? Isn't it good? ”

Qin Zhiyuan was apologetic: "I heard Zixi mention Mrs. Liu many times in the past, but when I saw Mrs. Liu later, Qin was puzzled, Mrs. Liu was too different from the mother in Zixi's mouth in the past, Qin was curious, so he lost his manners, Mrs. Liu is not to blame." ”

"People will always change, just like Qin Gongzi, when you suddenly learned about your life experience, didn't your heart change at all?"

"Mrs. Liu is right, Qin really can't say that there is no change in his heart, but what about you, Mrs. Liu? Why has it changed? ”

Ye Lan's heart was pounding, why did she always feel like this person had seen through her?

Qin Zhiyuan looked at her deeply, Ye Lan took a breath, and deliberately made an angry appearance: "Zixi called you big brother, how can you say that I am also your elder, you just ask about the elders, and you still come to question me, so rude!" ”

Seeing that she was annoyed, Qin Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "It's not a question, it's just curiosity, if Mrs. Liu doesn't want to say it, Qin doesn't ask." ”

Ye Lan breathed a sigh of relief, but he said again: "But I want to talk about the elders......"

Qin Zhiyuan looked at Ye Lan and shook his head: "Qin is twenty-two this year, only six years younger than Mrs. Liu, and although Zixi calls me a big brother, I am actually his teacher." ”

Ye Lan frowned, when she first met, how did she think he was humble and polite, gentle and generous?

"This, this is not important, in short, you don't have to do anything rude in the future, Zixi is here to study with you, and the people next to him don't care about Gongzi Qin."

Ye Lan has a weak heart, there are always people in this world who are almost demonic, and in front of such people, her mediocre head is not enough.

Ye Lan got up and wanted to leave, on this hot day, she actually felt cold behind her.

"Mrs. Liu!" Qin Zhiyuan slowly walked in front of Ye Lan, his voice was like a trickle of water, "Qin suddenly remembered a little story, it was said that there was a scholar in Jeju who had a very strong relationship with his mother, but his mother was frail, lingering on the sickbed all day long, and the scholar had no way to seek medical treatment, so he could only watch the lady's health deteriorate, but suddenly one day, his mother's illness was cured, not only that, but compared to the past, he was more intelligent and intelligent, the scholar was happy, and the love with the lady was more than usual. ”

"But time is easy to get old, the scholar is more than half a hundred years old, but his wife is still pretty, the scholar is puzzled, until the scholar died, his wife told him that he was a white fox in Qingqiu, accompanied the scholar for decades to repay the kindness of the past year, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace."

After Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, Ye Lan became even more worried.

What did he do telling her this story for no reason?

Ye Lan shook off her thoughts and teased: "I didn't expect Gongzi Qin to still read this kind of strange novel. ”

"It's just that I have nothing to do to pass the time, and because Mrs. Liu has changed too much, it reminds Qin of this story."

Ye Lan glanced at him: "Don't you also think that I am a white fox?" ”

Qin Zhiyuan smiled: "Qin doesn't dare." ”

"Hmph, I heard that demons specialize in sucking people's essence, if I am a demon, Qin Gongzi has to be careful." Ye Lan approached him step by step, deliberately scaring him.

Unexpectedly, Qin Zhiyuan laughed: "If you are a demon, you must be a good demon." ”

Ye Lan was stunned: "Why?" ”

"You get up early every day and go to work to earn money, in order to let Zixi concentrate on studying, and although you and I have known each other for a short time, I see your concern for Zixi, if you are really a demon, why not go to the rich and noble family? Suffering in the Liu family? ”

I thought that Ye Lan couldn't help but slander in her heart.

"The more I talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, I just suddenly ...... Epiphany, can't you? You just make me enlightened, anyway, I am me, I am a living person! If you don't have the right mind yourself, you are not allowed to show this kind of book to Zixi in the future! ”

"Mrs. Liu, don't be angry."

"I'm angry!" You say I'm a demon, I can't be angry yet?

“……”

Qin Zhiyuan looked at the woman in front of him who didn't look older than him, and felt very funny in his heart, "Mrs. Liu just thought of herself as my elder, why did she have a child's temper now?" ”

Hit a rake!

Ye Lan found that these readers were really powerful, black could be said to be white, and she would have to suffer a big loss if she continued to talk about it.

"I'm leaving, you tell Zixi, wait for him to get out of class, let him go to Zhou's tea shop to find me."

Ye Lan almost escaped from Qin Zhiyuan's house, what kind of person is this, is her vest about to fall off so soon?

"It's not human, and it tells stories to scare me, if I'm a demon, I'll eat you first!"

Ye Lan scolded a few words, and quickly calmed down: I am a mother, steady, steady.

What are you afraid of, even if he suspects it, he has no evidence, I am Liu Zixi's mother, and it is not easy for anyone to suspect.

Thinking so, Ye Lan entered the tea shop with a smile on her face.

People come and go in the tea shop, Zhou's sister-in-law has set up a few more tea tables, looking more crowded than before, and sometimes the guests will argue about whether there is a free table, so Zhou's sister-in-law also complained to her, saying that the shop is worried when it is deserted, and when it is full, she is also worried.

Ye Lan asked her if she had any plans to expand the store, and Sister-in-law Zhou just smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying that she was homesick.

She and the shopkeeper Zhou are not from Los Angeles, and the two of them privately ran out for life, but more than ten years have passed, and they have never gone back.

Ye Lan sighed, in the story of running away from home for life, there are many people who are unlucky, but fortunately, Zhou's sister-in-law is blessed, and the shopkeeper Zhou has been treating her for ten years.

Because the business of the tea shop is getting better and better, there is a new person in the shop, it is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, who is also from a poor family, and her father and mother are reluctant to sell it to a large family, so she gritted her teeth and stayed.

"Aunt Liu is here." The little girl's name is Chun Tao, and she laughs sweetly.
