Hearing him say this, Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu knew that his eldest young master's temper had come up again, so they glanced at him and ignored him. After leading him to Lu Changgen's house, he called Lu Yingchun to lead Ji Yueqiao to the sheepfold to see his lambs.

Lu Yang took Lu Xingyi from Song Huaishu's hand, looked sideways at Ji Yueqiao, who was standing in the courtyard with a wrinkled face, and asked curiously, "Who is this child you brought here?" It's like I've never seen it before. ”

Regarding Ji Yueqiao's identity, Lu Zhengan had no intention of hiding it. Hearing Lu Yang's question, he replied with a smile: "The little master of the Ji family, come to my house to play for a while." But I don't have any playmates at home, so I'm afraid he'll be bored, so I'll take him out for a walk. Auntie, if Yingchun is okay at home, let her take the children in the village to my house more often, and save the child from being homesick. ”

It is the nature of children to love to play, and Lu Yang saw that Ji Yueqiao was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and although he was a few years different from his own daughter, he was not unable to play together, so he readily agreed.

Several people gossiped for a while, and when Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu saw that the time was not early, they picked up Lu Xingyi and beckoned Ji Yueqiao to prepare to go home.

As soon as a few people got out of the alley, they saw Li Erwang walking towards him with a tweezer.

After Li Erwang saw Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu, his face turned red suddenly, and then he scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression, and called 'Brother Xiao An' innocently.

Since Li Erwang learned from his father and mother that Lu Xingyi was indeed born to Song Huaishu, after remembering his 'admonition' to Lu Zhengan, he was embarrassed and wished that he would never want to meet Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu again in this life. Now that the three of them are 'meeting on a narrow road', Li Erwang, who has no way to avoid it, can only call people embarrassed.

Lu Zhengan hadn't seen Li Erwang for a long time, and he thought he had already gone out with Master Cao. When I see him now, I can't help but feel a little surprised.

"And when you're already out, I didn't expect you to be still home. Why don't I see you come to my house to play these days, but there is something at home? ”

Hearing this, Li Erwang hurriedly waved his hand. "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that it's cold and I don't want to go out."

When Lu Zhengan heard him say this, he did not have any doubts. After greeting him, he hugged his daughter and led Ji Yueqiao to his home with Song Huaishu.

Ji Yueqiao followed behind the two of them, and saw that Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu were greeted by people everywhere they went, and couldn't help but mock: "Look at you, you are as fierce as a god, I didn't expect your popularity to be so good." Don't be flattering on the surface and scolding behind your back, right? ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan's words, Lu Zhengan paused and glanced sideways at Ji Yue Bridge. "Don't force me to slap you when I'm in a good mood!"

As soon as Lu Zheng'an said this, Ji Yueqiao immediately closed his mouth. Just as the three of them were carrying Lu Xingyi to Hualong Mountain, they heard a sudden sound of horses' hooves not far away, and several people stopped to look at it, only to see Ji Yuexian leading people to ride horses.

Ji Yueqiao looked at his brother, and his eyes immediately turned red. When Ji Yuexian came to a few people on a horse, and before he could turn over and get off the horse, Ji Yueqiao immediately hugged his leg and cried and shouted: "Second brother, you are here, I want to go home." ”

Chapter 103

Ji Yuexian looked at his younger brother who was holding his leg and crying bitterly, raised his eyes and looked at the smiling faces of Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu, and only felt embarrassed in his heart. I want to kick someone into the col on the side, so that he will not be embarrassed here.

However, in the end, I watched my brother grow up, and looked at him with a haggard face, and I did feel a little unbearable. After kicking the leg that was being held by Ji Yueqiao, he let go, and immediately rolled over from the horse.

Seeing that Ji Yueqiao was about to pounce again, Ji Yuexian wrinkled his eyebrows and glared at him. After that, I had the opportunity to talk to Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu.

"This kid heard that you have a temple fair here on the Shangyuan Festival, and he sneaked out with two subordinates. How did you meet him? Is this kid in trouble again? ”

Hearing Ji Yuexian say this, Lu Zhengan turned his eyes to Ji Yueqiao on the side, and then asked with a smile: "Young Master Ji, did you say or I said this?" ”

As soon as Ji Yuexian heard Lu Zhengan's words, he knew that his own troublemaker was really in trouble, and he immediately became angry. Tie Qing threw the reins in his hand to the attendants who came after, grabbed Ji Yueqiao's neck and dragged the person to Hualong Mountain.

Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu hugged the babbling Lu Xingyi, looked at the backs of the two brothers and glanced at each other helplessly. Then the family of three followed behind the two and also went home.

How Ji Yuexian disciplined his brothers, Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu were inconvenient to interfere. When they returned home, they lent their house to the two brothers.

Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu hugged Lu Xingyi, stood in the vegetable garden behind the house and watched Song Lan's pick vegetables, only to hear a few pig-like cries from Ji Yueqiao in the house, and then there was no movement in the house.

Song Lan's heart was soft-hearted, and when he heard Ji Yueqiao's screams, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Young Master Ji, don't take it lightly, let's break people again......"

"Mother doesn't have to worry, she won't break it at all. The eldest young master of the Ji family is estimated to not go back today, and we should still have two air-dried chickens in our family, so let's stew them together. Seeing the warmth of the day after tomorrow at the beginning of spring, this thing will not be able to be put away for a few days. ”

"Okay, there are too many things to prepare for the New Year, and there are still a lot of meat dishes left. I'll come to see Xingyi later, and you and Huaishu will watch and do it for lunch. ”

Not long after the snow in the garden had melted, the ground was still a little wet. Lu Zhengan saw that his mother-in-law was carrying a bamboo basket with some vain steps, so he hurriedly took the bamboo basket in her hand, and took her arm to pull the person out of the ridge.

When a few people returned to the front yard, Ji Yuexian came out of the hall with a humming sound of footsteps, and when he walked to the door, he glanced back at Ji Yueqiao, who was crying and sad, and raised his feet and crossed the threshold with a cold snort.

After seeing Lu Zheng'an and the others, Ji Yuexian bowed his hand to Song Lan's junior salute, and said to a few people apologetically: "I just talked to Yueqiao and asked him to live in your house temporarily, and I will have to bother you a lot in the future." ”

Listening to Ji Yuexian's words, Lu Zhengan didn't mention what the other party did when he met Ji Yueqiao, but only reminded: "Although I promised the old lady, I really can't guarantee what the other party can do in the end." ”

"I can save this matter, you have a simple people here, and it is good for him to stay here for a while. Whatever you do in the future, let him follow. Hit when you should beat, scold when you should scold, and don't be soft on him. ”

……

Hearing that Ji Yueqiao was temporarily living in the warehouse of our Lu Zheng'an's house, Ji Yuexian was not at ease and went to take another look. I saw that there were three thick quilts on the mat on the ground, and there was a charcoal stove next to it.

Moreover, Song Huaishu's parents temporarily live in Lu Zheng'an's house, and his family is so big that he didn't let his own troublemaker sleep directly on the ground, which is enough to be benevolent and righteous.

However, it is still cold now, and although the mattress is thicker, it is not good for the body after a long time. Ji Yuexian thought about it, so she took someone to the town to buy a wooden bed and came back, and directly let people place it in Lu Zhengan's warehouse.

Seeing that his brother was determined to let him stay in Lu Zheng'an's house, Ji Yueqiao wanted to cry without tears. nesting next to Ji Yuexian, like a big dog who lost a fight, was silent and uncomfortable.

Everyone had lunch at Lu Zheng'an's house, and as soon as they put down their rice bowls, they heard the sound of children chattering outside the courtyard.

Song Huaishu got up and went to the door to take a look, and saw that it was Lu Yingchun and Li Erwang who led a group of children from the village over, and turned back to Lu Zheng'an and said, "It's Yingchun and them." ”

As he spoke, Song Huaishu took out a few letters of snacks from the back room. He beckoned the children into the yard, washed their hands, and gave them the snacks.

Lu Yingchun saw that Lu Zheng'an had guests at home, and wanted to leave with this group of friends in the village. However, after seeing that it was Ji Yuexian, he was stunned for a moment and immediately remembered who the other party was. However, after Lu Yingchun didn't see Ji Yuanbao's figure, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"Brother Song, it turns out that you have guests at home. We're too noisy, so let's go back first. ”

Hearing Lu Yingchun muttering to Song Huaishu at the door, Lu Zhengan greeted Ji Yueqiao, who was quiet on the side, and said to him: "It's okay for you to be idle here, why don't you go out with them to have fun." ”

As soon as Lu Zheng'an said this, Ji Yueqiao thought he was joking, and immediately shook his head like a rattle, and at the same time looked at Lu Zhengan's eyes and became more vigilant. "I'm not going, you're trying to trick me."

After Ji Yueqiao finished speaking, he saw Lu Zhengan glancing at the feather duster next to him, only to feel that his nerves suddenly tensed, and he felt that his hair was about to stand on end.

Ji Yuexian, who was drinking tea, couldn't help frowning when he saw Ji Yueqiao's expression suddenly vigilant. Stretched out his hand and patted him on the head, and said, "It's just for you to play, what can Zheng'an do to you?" Let's go, don't get in our way here. ”

Seeing Ji Yueqiao reluctantly leave the room, Ji Yuexian couldn't help but sigh, looked at Lu Zheng'an and said, "I'll go back first, and this stupid brother will be entrusted to you first." ”

Seeing Ji Yueqiao being surrounded by a group of children out of the yard, Ji Yuexian continued: "His clothes will be delivered by his subordinates in the afternoon, and if there is anything, let people go to Ji's house to spread the word." ”

Ji Yuexian didn't want to see Ji Yueqiao's pitiful appearance, so he took the opportunity to leave with someone while he was taken out by a group of children.

When Ji Yuexian rode to the mountain road, he looked back at the small courtyard of the Lu family, remembered the news from Shangjing, and couldn't help but feel a little heavier, and then led someone to urge the horse to leave.

……

Although the children in the village are not as knowledgeable as Ji Yue Bridge, in terms of play, there are many people who have never seen Ji Yue Bridge. Although Ji Yueqiao is a few years older than them, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he is not much more mature than these children in the countryside. In addition, Ji Yueqiao was also a time to be playful, and after two days of mixing with them, it was completely spread.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan did not restrict him, and allowed Ji Yueqiao to play with the children in the village.

Song Huaishu didn't understand Lu Zheng'an in the first place, but now that he saw that Tiantian Jiyue Bridge was playing like a mud monkey, he was even more confused. However, when asked what kind of medicine Lu Zhengan was selling in his gourd, Lu Zhengan always smiled silently, and after asking him several times, Song Huaishu gave up.

Concentrate on taking care of Lu Xingyi every day, watching her go from turning over to being able to sit up on her own, the speed of progress is amazing.

The days went by like this, until after a spring rain, new shoots sprouted in the bamboo forest on the mountain. In the same season, the children in the village ran crazy on the Yueqiao Bridge and had no free time, so they carried baskets up the mountain every day to fold fresh bamboo shoots and let the adults carry them to the market and replace them with copper plates to subsidize the family.

Ji Yueqiao, who was already accustomed to playing with these children in the village, suddenly became deserted, and suddenly felt a little unaccustomed, sitting on the threshold holding a big face that had gained a lot of weight.

Lu Zheng'an, who usually made him feel hated and afraid, had to clean up the weeds and vines on the surrounding mountains, and took the villagers to work in the mountains every day, sometimes not returning home until dark. In this way, Ji Yueqiao is even more boring.

Song Huaishu was feeding Lu Xingyi goat's milk in the yard, and when he saw Ji Yueqiao sitting at the door with a distressed expression, he hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but suggest: "Now they are in the bamboo forest next to them, and you can go and play with them if you have nothing to do at home." ”

Song Huaishu has a gentle temperament and speaks softly, Ji Yueqiao has never seen him lose his temper when he has been in the Lu family for so long.

Hearing Song Huaishu say this, Ji Yueqiao couldn't help but hesitate. After a while, after hearing the sound of everyone frolicking from the bamboo forest, Ji Yueqiao couldn't sit still. He found a small basket from the barn, said a word to Song Huaishu, and ran up the mountain.

Not long after running out at Jiyue Bridge, Lu Zhengan walked into the yard with a hoe. Seeing that Song Huaishu was sitting in the courtyard coaxing Lu Xingyi to play, he walked to the basin stand under the eaves and washed his face.

"I have boiling water on the table in the hall, and I should be able to drink it right now. How's it going, are you almost done? ”

Song Huaishu pushed the car with one hand and asked Lu Zheng'an. And Lu Xingyi, who was sitting in the car, lowered his head and picked at the row of small wooden beads in front of him, and he was very focused, and he didn't even notice that Lu Zhengan came back.

"It's coming soon, I guess if I'm busy again, the day will almost be over tomorrow. Barren mountains are not good at all, and weeding alone will exhaust people to death in the first few years. ”

Lu Zhengan didn't get a drop of water in the morning, and he felt better after drinking three glasses of water in a row when he entered the house. Waiting to put down the cup, seeing that Ji Yueqiao was missing in the yard, he asked Song Huaishu: "What about that kid Ji Yueqiao, why don't you see him?" ”

"I went to the slope to find the bolt treasure and they went, these days the children in the village are busy breaking bamboo shoots to subsidize the family, and they don't have time to play with him, so they have been anxious for a long time. I saw that he was wilting, so I let him go up the mountain. ”

Lu Zhengan was wiping the sweat on his face with his sleeve, and when he heard Song Huaishu say this, he couldn't help but pause, and turned his head to look at the bamboo forest on the slope.

"It's quite warm today, can we eat noodle soup? It just so happens that the green garlic is tender, so it's just right to eat it now. ”

"Okay, but you take your daughter to cook, I'll do it for a while, and I'll come back later."

Lu Xingyi has always been obedient and does not cry easily. But if she is left alone for a long time, she will not be happy. In addition, now that the little girl has grown up a lot, the small car given by Ji Yuexian during the full moon is almost unable to hold her, and if she moves a little bigger, she may be in danger of overturning.

Bent down and took his daughter out of the car, raised it above her head and pushed her little belly with her forehead, so happy that Lu Xingyi's eyes were about to be lost.

Song Huaishu looked at the father and daughter in front of him, and couldn't help laughing.

After a while, Lu Xingyi's small eyes narrowed and he began to yawn.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan handed over the man to Song Huaishu to sleep in the house, and he himself went to the orchard with a shovel. When Lu Zhengan went out, Ji Yueqiao walked over with great interest with a basket full of bamboo shoots.

Seeing Lu Zheng'an standing at the door, Ji Yueqiao's footsteps paused, and the whole person slowed down. When the children in Lujia Village saw Lu Zheng'an greeting him, Lu Zheng'an looked at the basket full of bamboo shoots on their backs, and asked, "Are the bamboo shoots still easy to sell now?" Is it expensive? ”

Lu Haoran, the eldest son of Lu Tieniu's family, replied on the side: "Yesterday, I followed my mother to the street, and no one bought a penny or two catties, and it was not easy to sell." ”

Lu Haoran is just ten years old this year, and he is already half a laborer in the family. Although this kid has not studied for two years, he is an extremely sensible person, and Lu Zhengan has a very good impression of him.

"Don't worry if it's not good to sell, there is no shortage of this bite at home now."

Hearing Lu Zheng'an's relief, Lu Haoran thanked him sensibly, and then led a group of small radish heads to walk down the mountain with baskets on their backs.

Lu Zhengan watched Lu Haoran leave, and when he came to Ji Yueqiao later, he saw that he also had bamboo shoots in his basket, and he rarely had a good look at Ji Yueqiao.

"Today's harvest is good, since we have broken so much, how about we go to the market early tomorrow morning to sell it?"

Although Ji Yueqiao didn't know what kind of medicine Lu Zheng'an was selling in his gourd, he asked his dignified young master of the Ji family to set up a stall on the street to do business, and Ji Yueqiao really couldn't pull this face.

"I'm not going!"

Regarding Ji Yueqiao's answer, Lu Zhengan was not surprised, but he was not reluctant. Let Ji Yueqiao go back to rest first, and go down the mountain himself.

However, in the middle of the next day, Lu Zhengan opened his eyes. Listening to Song Huaishu and Lu Xingyi's steady breathing, apparently still asleep, they quietly got up. After feeding the mules and goats in the shed, they wash their hands and put the food in the pot.

Song Huaishu also opened his eyes not long after Lu Zheng'an got up, and when he saw that Lu Zheng'an's position was empty, he reached out and touched the bed, and saw that the tentacles were cold, and it was obvious that the other party had been up for a while.

Thinking that Lu Zhengan had been busy working in the orchard for a while, Song Huaishu couldn't lie down. Tucked Lu Xingyi's quilt away, and walked out of the room lightly.

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, but it was barely clear. Song Huaishu stood in the courtyard, looking at Lu Zheng'an's face in front of the stove, which was red by the flames, his heart was warm, and he felt very distressed.

"Didn't you say there wasn't much work left on the mountain? Why do you still wake up so early? ”

Hearing Song Huaishu's voice, Lu Zhengan, who was immersed in thoughts, was taken aback. When he turned around, he saw that Song Huaishu was only wearing a thin jacket, and immediately stood up from the stool. "It's so cold in the morning, why are you still wearing such thin clothes, what if it's freezing?"

With that, Lu Zhengan pushed Song Huaishu to the back room where they lived, and as he walked, he replied: "Didn't you kill all the chickens, ducks and geese in the circle a few years ago? I'm thinking about going to the market and picking some back when I have time. ”

Song Huaishu also likes to raise more small animals at home, although it is usually more troublesome to feed, but it seems that the family is more vibrant.

"Okay, by the way, the eggs are gone, so you can buy some when you come back."

Lu Zhengan responded with a smile, pushed Song Huaishu back into the house, personally helped him find a thick cotton jacket, and felt relieved when he saw him put it on.
