When Jianli and Sister Qi'er walked to the door of Zhang Jun's house in the alley, looking at the wind and rain courtyard wall and the dilapidated door bolt in front of them, Jianli paused slightly, closed his eyes slightly, and sighed.

"Young Master......

The finch next to him pinched the corner of the young master's clothes, and his voice was weak and inaudible.

"Sister Qi'er, have you decided?" Jian Li opened his eyes, his eyes slightly red.

"Young Master. The finch's crystalline eyes peeked at the young master.

"Let's go!" Jian Li said without hesitation, and walked towards the dilapidated courtyard.

"Bang bang bang!" Jian Li knocked on the door.

"Who?" asked an old man hoarsely from inside the room.

"Hello, grandma, I'm a friend of Zhang Jun, you open the door, I have something to do with Zhang Jun. The sword said as he left his mouth.

"Which friend of Jun'er are you? Why haven't I heard your voice?"

"Grandma is me, I'm a finch. ”

"It's a finch, come inside!"

"Squeak. The dilapidated door panel was quickly opened, revealing an old dragon clock's face.

The old woman's hair had long since turned gray, her face was wrinkled and furrowed, and her eyes had become a tiny slit.

The old woman glanced up at the finch and the sword, and stepped forward to hold the finch in both hands, and her face was kind.

"Jun'er has something to go out, and it is estimated that he will come back in a while, so the guests will sit in the room first. ”

After speaking, the old woman took the finch's hand and staggered towards the courtyard.

Jianli followed into the courtyard.

On the left side of the stone path is a small garden surrounded by straw, and a small number of vegetables are growing tenaciously under the scorching sun.

On the right are two thatched huts, and an old donkey with a white belly is slowly flicking its tail to drive away flies.

Directly in front of them are three adobe houses in disrepair, and the window of the rightmost one hangs with bunches of bright red dried chili peppers.

Jian Li looked at everything in front of him, and a feeling of astringency appeared in his heart.

"In the future, will Sister Qi'er live here? How long can she, who is used to living in fine clothes and food, last here? a year, three years, ten years, or really a lifetime?"

Can she really live such a hard life with him?

"Come in, young man, we poor families have nothing to entertain, and it just so happens that the cucumbers in the garden have just grown into two, and I will go and wash them. ”

The old man slammed on the door of the house and staggered towards the garden.

"Hey......" Jian Li was about to speak, but he swallowed it hard.

"Forget it, let's go inside, Sister Finch. ”

Jian Li said as he walked towards the house.

Stepping on the uneven hard ground, looking at the dusty kitchenware and stove, Jian Li sighed and walked into the house.

"Young master, you go to the back room to sit down first, and I'll clean up. ”

As she spoke, she picked up a rag from the stove and washed it, and began to wipe down the dusty kitchen utensils and the stove.

"Sister Qi'er, you ......" Jian Li looked at Sister Qi'er, who was busy with work, tears rolling in his eyes.

With a sniff, Kenli walked into the room.

Outside, the scorching sun shines through the dilapidated windows on the clay kang, forming jagged shadows.

There are some portraits of gods and Buddhas on the surrounding walls, and several old bedding are neatly stacked on the kang mats made of straw.

Jian Li sat on the edge of the kang, and his eyes looked at Sister Qi'er, who was busy in the stove hall.

He suddenly regretted it, he was a little confused, he didn't know if what he did was right, he didn't know if he had hurt her or saved her.

In fact, deep down, he was reluctant, he didn't want Sister Qi'er to marry anyone, no one, but reason told him that he had no right or ability to change anyone's life.

"Young master, is there a burp on this kang, I'll go get you a mat. The back of the finch white hand wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, and said in a coquettish voice.

"No, young master, I'm not that pampered. Jian Li waved his hand.

"Sit down!" Jian Li pointed to the kang of the earth.

"Hmm!" Que'er nodded slightly, and raised her leg to the edge of the kang.

Jianli took out a handkerchief and handed it to Sister Qi'er.

"Wipe your sweat. ”

"No, young master, it's all dirt and dust, and it's all staining your handkerchief. The finch bowed her head in shame.

Jian Li got up and got off the ground, walked to Sister Qi'er, and said while wiping the sweat from her forehead: "Sister Qi'er, do you really plan to follow him for the rest of your life? If you don't want to, the young master will take you away immediately, and you will never come here in the future." ”

"Young master, you are good to the finch, the finch understands in her heart, I have long figured it out, in this life, he will not marry!" The finch bit her thin lip, and her delicate voice was full of firmness.

Jian Li's hand that wiped her sweat slammed suddenly, and then forced a smile: "Since my sister said so, then the young master will definitely support you and be your most solid backing!"

"Thank you, young master, Que'er has no father or mother since she was a child, you and Mrs. have been good to me, I will keep it in my heart for the rest of my life, in Que'er's heart, Mrs. is like my own mother, you are like Que'er's own brother!

The finch cried and was about to kneel.

"Okay, what are you crying about, it's not that you can't meet in the future, if you suffer any grievances in the future, just come to the young master and me, no matter who it is, the young master will definitely give you a head!"

"The finch knows. ”

"Don't cry, the old man will come into the house in a while, and he thinks I have done something to you. ”

"Got it, young master!" the finch burst into tears and smiled, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Young man, be thirsty, come, eat a cucumber, we poor people have nothing to entertain, young people should not be disgusted. ”

Jian Li and Sister Qi'er were talking in the house, when they saw the old man trembling and walking in with a plate.

Jian Li hurriedly caught up and took it.

"Grandma, sit down!"

"Good! good!" said the old man, holding on to the edge of the kang, and the finches behind her helped her to sit on the earthen kang.

"Eat quickly, quench your thirst!" said the old man, pushing the plate to the side of the sword.

"Okay, okay. Jianli looked at the old man, picked up a cucumber, and suddenly remembered the grandmother he had never met, his eyes were hot, and tears almost flowed out.

"Bird, you eat too, I see you cleaned the stove again, it's really hard for you, I'm old and useless. ”

"Grandma, what do you say, you are not old at all, and your body is tough. ”

"I still don't know my body, by the way, you haven't introduced it yet, who is this young man?"

"Look at my memory. The finch patted her little head in annoyance.

"Grandma, this is my young master and my family. Young master, this is Zhang Jun's grandmother. The finches said and introduced each other.

"Hello grandma! My name is Jianli. Jian Li smiled at the old man as he ate the cucumber.

"Hey, this look is the son of a rich and noble family, you look at this look, this dress, how spirited, no wonder I feel happy in my heart when I look at it. The old man looked at Jian Li with a smile, and the wrinkles on his face were piled up.

"It's a pity that our handsome family, since his father and mother died early, have been dependent on me, an old lady who is about to enter the earth, and he is really bitter for him, and he is really not worthy of this good girl!"

After the old man finished speaking, tears flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he looked at the finch with apology.
