"Xiao Jie. Xu Dongsheng's face showed joy.

"Brother!" Xu Jie trotted over quickly, with a happy smile on her face, and called each other, and it could be seen that the brother and sister were very happy to see each other.

"Come, let me introduce you, this is my senior brother, called Senior Brother Lin. Xu Dongsheng said again, introducing Lin Tianqi to his sister.

"Senior Brother Lin. Xu Jie immediately called Lin Tianqi crisply, but his eyes were a little reluctant to look directly at Lin Tianqi, and he looked a little restrained.

"Don't be so outside, my name is Lin Tianqi. Seeing Xu Jie's restraint, Lin Tianqi smiled gently: "Call me Brother Lin." ”

"That's right, it's called Brother Lin. Xu Dongsheng heard Lin Tianqi's words next to him, and he echoed and smiled: "Brother Lin is better than Senior Brother Lin." ”

"Hmm" Xu Jie nodded when she heard this, looked at Lin Tianqi and said, "Brother Lin." ”

shouted on his lips, but his head was still a little low, and he didn't dare to look directly at Lin Tianqi, it could be seen that Xu Jie's personality should be a little introverted and shy, Lin Tianqi smiled slightly, and didn't say more, seeing that it was not early, he spoke.

"Let's go, it's not too early, let's go back to buy groceries, and we'll talk about it when we get to Yizhuang later." After speaking, Lin Tianqi took the lead in turning around and walking behind him.

"Yes, senior brother" Xu Dongsheng responded, and then beckoned Xu Jie: "Let's go, Xiaojie." ”

Before leaving, he glanced around again, and found that there were several people whose eyes stayed on his sister, and immediately blocked in front of Xu Jie, like a hen protecting a chicken, his eyes glared at those people fiercely, until those few people took back their eyes in a daze, Xu Dongsheng withdrew his gaze, and then took Xu Jie to follow Lin Tianqi's footsteps.

Xu Jie followed Xu Dongsheng and followed closely behind Lin Tianqi, she was a little introverted and scared, so she didn't dare to look at Lin Tianqi carefully when she spoke just now, and only after following Lin Tianqi did she dare to raise her head and look carefully, thinking, Brother Lin is so handsome, but as soon as this idea came out, she quickly lowered her head, and there were two more blushes on her face.

"Brother Cheng, come a grass carp, about two catties, help kill it. After a while, he returned to Wang Cheng's fish stall again, Lin Tianqi said.

"Okay, wait. Wang Cheng replied with a smile, and when he saw Xu Jie next to Xu Dongsheng, his eyes lit up, and he said, "This should be the sister of the Dongsheng family." ”

"Yes, this is my sister Xu Jie, Brother Cheng just calls her Xiaojie. Xu Dongsheng responded with a smile, and then said to Xu Jie: "This is Brother Wang Cheng, called Brother Cheng." ”

"Brother Cheng. Xu Jie screamed crisply, her voice was glutinous and very good.

"Alas. Wang Cheng responded, glanced at Xu Jie with a smile, and then glanced at Xu Dongsheng again: "You and your brother are not like each other at all, they are much pretty." ”

"Brother Cheng said the same thing as your name - honest, and I thought about it. Lin Tianqi answered with a smile and quipped.

Xu Dongsheng's face darkened, revealing a speechless expression.

Xu Jie could see that Wang Cheng and Lin Tianqi were also joking, and when she saw her eldest brother's dark face, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"The fish is good, for the sake of Xiaojie's arrival today, this fish will not charge you money. ”

A few minutes later, Wang Cheng killed the fish and handed it to Lin Tianqi, but he didn't accept the money given by Lin Tianqi, and stuffed the money given by Lin Tianqi to Lin Tianqi.

"Brother Cheng, how can this work, you are doing business...."Xu Dongsheng said a little embarrassed.

"What business is not business, just a fish, I give it, just take it, and don't talk so much nonsense. Wang Cheng said loudly.

"But...."Xu Dongsheng opened his mouth and spoke.

"Okay, since Brother Wang Cheng has said so, we will take this fish. Lin Tianqi interjected to interrupt Xu Dongsheng, and half-jokingly: "If you have a cheap advantage, don't take advantage of the bastard, what are you postponing such a good thing, I'll go back and ask the master if I have any younger brothers and sisters or something, and let them come over, and then come to Brother Cheng to buy fish here, Brother Cheng will definitely have to give me free...."

"Haha, you kid, you want to take advantage of others, Dongsheng, you see, your senior brother is much more shrewd than your kid, you should learn a little. Wang Cheng pointed at Lin Tianqi and laughed.

Xu Dongsheng touched his head and smiled, but his appearance was a little funny, looking at his eldest brother's honest appearance, Xu Jie couldn't help but laugh, and then said to Wang Cheng.

"Thank you, Brother Cheng. He thanked Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng smiled and waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to thank him, Lin Tianqi glanced at Xu Jie, this girl is reasonable.

It's not big-chested.

"Then, Brother Cheng, let's go first, and you can sell it. ”

Farewell to Wang Cheng, the three of them went back to Yizhuang, and bought two catties of pork and two vegetables along the way, and went back with just four dishes, two meat and two vegetables.

In this era, two meat and two vegetables are a luxury meal for ordinary people, after all, most people only maintain a subsistence life, and sometimes it is good to eat a meal of meat for more than half a month, and the most obvious problem in this era is that the gap between the rich and the poor is too large.

The people in the upper class are rich one by one, and the people in the lower class have to work hard to maintain even basic food and clothing, and it is common for them to go hungry, and even starve to death.

However, if they are cultivators, it is still relatively easy to get some money, so although they are not as good as those rich people in the upper class, they are still much better than those ordinary people, at least it is still easy to eat meat every day.

"How is the situation at home, are my parents in good health? ”

"Mom and Dad are in good health, let me tell you not to worry, just follow Master Lin here with peace of mind. ”

"Well, that's good. ”

At sunset, in the backyard and kitchen, the brother and sister washed vegetables and cooked, and talked.

"Brother, there is one more thing I want to tell you?" Xu Jie said again, looking at his eldest brother, but at this time, his expression was a little hesitant, and he stopped talking.

"What's the matter?" Xu Dongsheng looked at his sister.

"I, I want to find a job here, I don't want to go back for the time being..."After hesitating for a moment, Xu Jie whispered, looking at her eldest brother cautiously, worried that Xu Dongsheng would be angry.

"Why?" Xu Dongsheng frowned and looked at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie hesitated for a moment and said.

"During this time, people have been coming to the door to propose, and several groups of people have come, but I don't want to marry, I don't want to marry people I haven't seen and don't like. ”

People in this era generally get married early, although Xu Jie is only seventeen years old, but in this era, seventeen years old seems to people to have already reached the age of marriage.

"Do your parents know what you think?" asked Xu Dongsheng.

"I know, my parents said that if I can really get a job here, they won't force me to get married for the time being. ”

Xu Jie looked at her eldest brother hopefully, in this era, compared to other parents, her parents are rare and enlightened, but she also knows that if she can't find a job here, then she will have to go back and get married.

"Brother, do you have to help me? I don't need anything else, just help me find a place to live, and I'll find a job myself." ”

Xu Jie begged.

"I...."Xu Dongsheng hesitated.

Where to live, he naturally understands what his sister means, Yizhuang is relatively large, and there are enough rooms, Xu Jie is more than enough to live, but he can't be the master.

"If it's just a place to live, Yizhuang can do it, if Xiaojie doesn't mind, just live here. ”

Lin Tianqi appeared at the door at some point, looking at Xu Dongsheng and Xu Jiedao.

"Senior Brother" "Brother Lin!"

The brother and sister were both shocked, and they didn't notice Lin Tianqi's arrival at all, and then Xu Jie was overjoyed.

"Brother Lin, is it really possible?"

"It's okay, there is a lot of room here, enough to stay. Lin Tianqi smiled.

"But the master's side?" Xu Dongsheng was a little wary of the ninth uncle.

"There shouldn't be much objection from the master's side, I'll just talk to him when the master comes back, don't worry. ”

"Then it's troublesome Senior Brother. ”

Xu Dongsheng was also relieved when he heard Lin Tianqi's words, he knew that Lin Tianqi had followed Uncle Nine since he was a child, and since Lin Tianqi said so, there was basically no problem.

"There are still five empty rooms, after dinner, Xiaojie, you can choose one. Lin Tianqi said to Xu Jie again.

"Thank you, Brother Lin. ”

Xu Jie said happily, looking at Lin Tianqi, just in line with Lin Tianqi's eyes, looking at each other, Lin Tianqi smiled slightly, and then said.

"Then you cook first, I'll go out first, something calls me. ”

Lin Tianqi didn't stay long, turned around and left the kitchen after speaking, thinking to himself - someone will also wash the clothes in the future.

Xu Jie behind her also breathed a sigh of relief, with a happy smile on her face, as long as the problem was solved, then she would not have to go back to the village for the time being, and she would not face being forced to get married.

Thinking of getting married, for no reason, she looked at the back of Lin Tianqi leaving, and the ghost in her heart gave birth to such an idea - if the object is Brother Lin......

Xu Dongsheng next to him only saw his sister looking at his senior brother's back, and suddenly blushed.

Then, he was also unhappy, at this moment, he felt like he had something that he had been guarding for a long time and was snatched away, for no reason, he couldn't say it, but he was very unhappy, and even this unhappiness directly gave rise to an urge to beat his senior brother.
