"Oh, then why don't you let the government send you home?"

"The government didn't send us home, he asked my family to pick it up, but I only remember that my home is in the capital, my home is in a deep alley, and then there is a Taoist temple next to my home, and I don't know anything else, so the government put me in Shantang, and I can't eat enough in Shantang every day, and let me work every day, and I will be beaten if I don't work enough, and I found that Shantang also sells out our children, so I ran out, but don't worry, there are often people running in Shantang, and they won't look for it. Xiao Siqi grabbed the hem of Granny Lin's clothes and begged: "Mother-in-law, just take me in, I can do a lot of work." ”

Granny Lin looked down, what kind of work can she do if she is so small, but looking at the little girl's pleading eyes, her heart couldn't help but soften, the little girl is too thin, and her skinny little face has very big eyes, "Little girl, aren't you afraid that I will sell you too?"

It seemed that she agreed, Xiao Siqi said happily: "Mother-in-law, you are so kind-hearted, you won't sell me." ”

Granny Lin smiled, "Then you can stay here in the future." ”

"Thank you, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, my name is Xiao Siqi, you can call me Siqi, mother-in-law, I'll help you sweep the floor, you can rest for a while." Xiao Siqi snatched the broom and swept the ground as she spoke.

"Siqi, the name is so good, you are as old as my granddaughter, just call me Grandma Lin. ”

"Grandma Lin, how many people are there in our dart game?"

"There is also our family in the dart game, your Grandpa Lin, Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, four brothers, and one sister, your Uncle Lin and four brothers have gone to the dart, and you will see the others when they have dinner later. ”

As he was talking, Grandpa Lin walked in from outside the door, "Old woman, I bought the osmanthus cake you like to eat, and it's still hot, you can eat it while it's hot." ”

Grandma Lin greeted her with a smile, "I said why didn't you disappear in the morning, it turned out that you went out to buy this", and ate a piece of osmanthus cake with Grandpa Lin's hand, "Well, it's delicious", twisted a piece and handed it over, "You eat it too."

Grandpa Lin said in disgust, "I don't like to eat this, it's too sweet", but he still opened his mouth and ate the osmanthus cake, "I won't eat it, you can eat the rest." "This osmanthus cake is Shangpinzhai, delicious, small, expensive and not easy to buy, so he is willing to queue up to buy it in January.

After one person ate a piece, Grandma Lin wrapped the osmanthus cake again, "Keep it for Xiaoxi to eat." ”

When the two walked in hand in hand, Grandpa Lin saw Xiao Siqi, "Whose little girl is this, why did you sweep the floor in our house?"

Grandma Lin showed a look that she had just remembered, and explained: "This is my newly recognized granddaughter, named Siqi", and said to Siqi: "This is your Grandpa Lin." ”

"Hello Grandpa Lin!"

"Hey, Xiao Siqi is fine. ”

Grandpa Lin showed a puzzled expression to Grandma Lin, and Grandma Lin gave him a look of recourse.

Grandma Lin took out the osmanthus cake and handed it to Siqi, "Siqi, come and taste a piece." ”

The sweet taste came, Xiao Siqi swallowed her saliva involuntarily, but she still said, "Grandma Lin, let's leave it all to Sister Xiaoxi to eat." ”

Grandma Lin twisted a piece and put it to her mouth, saying, "It's not hungry, it's just a taste, you don't need to leave her so much, let's eat." ”

Xiao Siqi had to open her mouth and eat it, it was really delicious, sweet but not greasy, and it melted in your mouth.

Grandma Lin rewrapped the osmanthus cake and said, "Siqi, put the broom aside, the meal should be almost ready, go eat first." ”

Xiao Siqi put down the broom and followed Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin into the inner courtyard.

As soon as Aunt Lin finished setting the meal, they entered the dining room, and a seven or eight-year-old girl with a round face and big eyes sitting at the dining table saw Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin, so she jumped up and shouted, "Grandpa, Grandma", and then looked at Xiao Siqi curiously.

Grandma Lin happily "hey", and then explained: "This is Siqi, and she will be your sister in the future", and introduced to Xiao Siqi, "This is your Sister Xiaoxi, and that is your Aunt Lin." ”

Xiao Siqi hurriedly shouted, "Aunt Lin, Sister Xiaoxi." ”

Lin Xi happily took Xiao Siqi's hand and said, "Sister Siqi, how old are you? You look so small, but your eyes are so big, bigger than mine." Where is your house? Why did you come to our house?" she has two older brothers and two senior brothers, and she has been looking forward to having a girl to accompany her, and now she has finally got her wish, and she is still an older sister, she is so happy.

Grandma Lin nodded Lin Xi's forehead and said, "Why do you have so many questions, your sister Siqi will live here in the future, you have time to talk, now sit down to eat first, and then talk after eating." ”

Lin Xi wrinkled his nose, "Grandma, can you stop nodding my forehead, besides, Sister Siqi is still here, you are like this, how faceless I am, how can I be a sister." ”

"Hey, we Xiaoxi are sisters, we know that we want to save face, then you have to be a good example of your sister in the future, don't sit without sitting and standing anymore. ”

"Grandma'......"

"Okay, grandma, I won't talk about you. ”

Grandpa Lin smiled and said, "Let's eat." ”

After eating, Lin Xi pulled Xiao Siqi and ran out, saying as he ran: "I'll take you to see the kite that Senior Brother Qin made for me, it's beautiful." ”

Xiao Siqi said hesitantly: "The ground in the front yard has not been swept yet. ”

Lin Xi paused, thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go and sweep the floor first, and then come to see my kite." ”

Here, Grandma Lin told Grandpa Lin and Aunt Lin about Xiao Siqi's situation, and explained why she was taken in, and said: "Look at her temperament, and listen to her name, it shows that her family should be not bad, and when Kang'er walks the dart in the capital, it doesn't take much to inquire according to what she said, if you can find it, send her back by the way when she takes the dart, how can her family thank us, we can also have more contacts in the capital; even if I can't find her family, I think she looks good, and when she grows up in the future, it's not bad to be a daughter-in-law to Brother Hu." There are many pairs of chopsticks at home, and she can also help the family do some work, and she doesn't eat in vain. ”

Grandpa Lin nodded.

Aunt Lin said complimentingly: "It's still my mother who is thoughtful." ”

Xiao Siqi stayed in the Lin Family Dart Bureau.

According to Lin Xi, when Grandpa Lin was young, he traveled south and north, and was a famous hero in the rivers and lakes. At the beginning of the opening of the dart bureau, it was very beautiful for a while, many people came to support the dart, and there were many people from the rivers and lakes who came to run. But Grandpa Lin didn't accept apprentices, and his only son Lin Kang's martial arts qualifications were not high, and now his martial arts are only third-rate, and there is no successor, so the dart game is slowly defeated.

Lin Kang had two sons, the eldest son Lin Hai was 15 years old, the younger son Lin Hu was 12 years old, and the two apprentices, the eldest apprentice Qi Bin was 17 years old and the second apprentice Qin Shuang was 16 years old.

Since the food was not bad, by the time a group of people who had gone dart came back a month later, Xiao Siqi had already raised some meat on his face.

On this day, Xiao Siqi was playing in the yard with Lin Xi, mainly Lin Xi was walking on the plum blossom pile, and she was watching from the side. Lin Xi began to practice martial arts at the age of six, and it has been two years, and the plum blossom pile has already walked decently.

There was a handsome young man of eleven or twelve years old riding a horse at the door, Lin Xi saw that he shouted "second brother", and fell off the plum blossom pile with a "pop", she immediately got up and ran quickly to the backyard, shouting while running: "Grandpa, grandma, my father, they are back, mother, my father is back." ”

Xiao Siqi and the young man on the horse looked at each other, and both of them laughed out loud.

Lin Hu stepped off the horse in a dashing manner, led the horse to Xiao Siqi, and asked, "Who are you?"

Xiao Siqi picked his fingers and said, "My name is Xiao Siqi, and I am living in your house now." ”

"Why?"

"I was abducted here by a kidnapper, my home is too far away, I am still young, I can't go back, Grandma Lin kindly took me in and waited for me...... When I'm older, I can go back. Xiao Siqi pinched her fingers and lowered her head, not daring to look into the young man's eyes, so she had to continue to tell the lie she told in order to be pitied.

A trace of pity flashed in Lin Hu's eyes, but he had followed his father since he was a child, and he had seen too many poor people, so this feeling was just a flash, but he still touched Xiao Siqi's head and said softly: "Then you can live here with peace of mind in the future, I am your second brother Lin." ”

Xiao Siqi shouted obediently: "Second Brother Lin." ”

At this time, Grandpa Lin, Grandma Lin, Aunt Lin and Lin Xi had already walked out of the backyard, and Lin Hu immediately ran over and shouted, "Grandpa, grandma, mother." ”

Grandma Lin looked at Lin Hu lovingly, "It's dark, I'm thin, I'll let your mother make some delicious food for you later, and my good grandson is suffering outside." ”

"Grandma doesn't cry, and besides, I'm not thin, I'm growing taller again, I don't believe you. ”

Grandpa Lin asked, "What about your father?"

Lin Hu said proudly: "My father and they are not as fast as me, so I will come back first, and they will arrive in a while." ”

......

Looking at the warm scene of their family, Xiao Siqi also missed her parents and younger brother, and she didn't know how they were doing now. She looked up at the sky, trying not to let the tears fall.

Spring goes to autumn, and three years pass in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Siqi can finally go to the capital with the dart, a year ago Uncle Lin took a trip to the capital, she knew that she wanted to follow, but the capital is far away, a trip on the road will take almost two months, this trip to the past, may not be able to find her family, she is so young, Uncle Lin said, he first went to the capital to inquire, and then found the exact place, and then took her into Beijing.

Xiao Siqi was very worried about this, those words were originally made up by her, Uncle Lin would definitely not be able to inquire, so how did she go to the capital?
