The He family has only one son, He Erniu, and has no other close relatives.On the Liu side, there are many brothers and sisters, but they all think that He Cuicui is an ominous person who restrains his father and mother, and they are unwilling to accept her.

Even the sister Liu, who is a direct relative, felt that it was inauspicious to go, and they were afraid of getting into something bad, and they were unwilling to even come to worship.

No one was looking after He Cuicui, so Qi Qingxi had no choice but to leave her at home temporarily.

In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year, and Aunt Osmanthus and the others were thinking about going to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva.

Qi Qingxi felt that she would have an accident if she went out. Although it was impossible not to go out for the rest of her life, at least let her spend the new year safely.

Although she didn't go, she made some snacks, and asked Aunt Osmanthus to help by going to Jingci Temple to bring them to the host and Master Huiming.

This is Qi Qingxi's first Spring Festival after passing through the book. Although it is not as lively as her previous era, it is full of New Year's flavor.

Every household posted Spring Festival couplets and hung red lanterns, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.

The children all put on new clothes, and they were very happy to set off fireworks and firecrackers by the river.

During the Chinese New Year, Qi Qingxi's business is also more prosperous than usual, and she is also busy all day long.

I was busy until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when Wang Xiucai came to ask her to resign.

August of this year is the triennial autumn, and he wants to go back and study hard to prepare for the provincial examination.

Qi Qingxi nodded in agreement, she knew that Wang Xiucai planned to go to Wang Wanru's house to propose marriage after winning the election.

Just like this, she started to be too busy to touch the ground again.

So she posted a notice at the door, hoping to recruit another accountant to help.

As soon as it was posted, someone came up and asked, "Excuse me, are you the shopkeeper of this store?"

Qi Qingxi nodded in response to him: "Yes."

The visitor introduced himself: "My name is Liu Yong, and I am Cuicui's uncle."

It turned out that Liu Yong was a man who ran a business with a caravan. When Cui Cuiniang had an accident, he happened to go to the northwest region with the caravan. When he came back a few days ago, he heard that his sister was gone. The shopkeeper of the restaurant was kept at home.

"It's hard for my brothers and sisters to eat enough. If Cui Cui's mother hadn't been taking care of me, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to live until now. Now that her mother is gone, I should take care of Cui Cui." Liu Yong's eyes were already red.

Life is impermanent, Qi Qingxi told him to mourn, and then took him to the backyard to call out Cui Cui, who was playing with Ah Nuan in the room.

The nephew and uncle just met, and they hugged each other and cried again.

After crying, Liu Yong discussed with Cui Cui about taking her away, Cui Cui thought for a while, and nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, Liu Yong asked Cuicui to kowtow to Qi Qingxi to thank her for her kindness.

Qi Qingxi quickly pulled Cui Cui up: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

Liu Yong bowed and said: "I will firmly remember your kindness. Now I am a small steward in the provincial capital Yongji's caravan, and I go to the northwest side. If you need me in the future, just do it." go find me."

In the northwest, they are probably doing business with the barbarians. Maybe in the future, he can be asked to help find some vegetables, fruits and seeds that are not available here.

Qi Qingxi nodded and took it down, and then sent the two out.

Qi Nuan didn't get out of the room until he heard the sound of the courtyard door closing.

"Sister, did Cui Cui leave just like that?"

"Yes, her uncle came to take her home."

"Oh……"

On the first day He Cuicui came to the house, Qi Qingxi specially explained to Qi Yunming and the others about her pitiful background, and asked her brothers and sisters to take good care of her.

From that day on, Qi Nuan didn't go next door to find elder sister Jinxiu to learn embroidery, but stayed at home with He Cuicui every day, chatting with her, and also taught her the ancient poems he learned from elder sister.

Unexpectedly, she left before she finished learning the whole "Quiet Night Thoughts".

Seeing Qi Nuan's reluctance, Qi Qingxi comforted her: "Cui Cui is reunited with her uncle, Ah Nuan is Cui Cui's good friend, she should be happy for her."

Qi Nuan nodded: "Sister, I'm happy for her, but if it was me, I wouldn't leave."

"Oh? Why?"

Qi Nuan stepped forward and hugged her waist tightly: "I only want sister and brother, not uncle."

Qi Qingxi smiled and patted her head. In fact, it would be nice to have an uncle, especially with an uncle like Liu Yong. The three brothers and sisters in the original book might be able to live a lot better.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

February is the annual county examination, and Mr. Xu from the academy asked Qi Yunming to try.

From the beginning of the first lunar month, Qi Yunming turned on the lamp to read at night, and did not go to bed until midnight.

Seeing him working hard, Qi Qingxi would prepare some soup, porridge and noodles for him every night.

Originally, it was only cooked for one person, but when Qi Yunhui saw it, he also yelled that he was hungry and wanted to eat, so Qi Qingxi simply cooked more food every night.

But only the two of them ate, Ah Nuan went to bed early every night, and she was afraid of gaining weight.

Qi Qingxi propped her arms on the table and looked at the two brothers who were eating noodles with shredded pork and green vegetables. They ate supper every day, but the two of them didn't grow any flesh, which made her very envious.

Fortunately, I didn't gain any meat, but I did gain a lot of stature, and the food was still not in vain.

"Sister." Qi Yunhui talked to her while eating noodles, "Sister, I have practiced the moves Gu Liang taught me tens of thousands of times before, when will he come back and teach me new ones?"

Qi Yunming immediately kicked him under the dining table, signaling him not to speak.

Qi Yunhui understood the big brother's eyes and closed his mouth, but didn't the big brother tell him not to mention Brother Gu Yu in front of Sister, why couldn't Brother Gu Liang also mention it?

Qi Qingxi pretended not to see the small movements of the two, and smiled softly: "Brother Gu Liang has gone home. His house is far away, so he won't come here again. Sister, I will find you another master to learn martial arts."

She patted the shoulders of the two brothers and told them to eat quickly.

Qi Qingxi washed the dishes, asked the two to go to bed early, and went back to the room.

She opened a locked drawer under the dresser and took out a large, slightly worn envelope that contained a packet of seeds and a letter.

When she just received the letter and opened the paper bag containing the seeds, she was so happy. It turned out to be the chili seeds she had been looking for for a long time.

She immediately gave the seeds to Granny Liu's son, and subsidized him with some money, asking him to help see if he could try to plant them.

By the way, she told Grandma Liu's son about the approximate planting time, harvesting time and growth habits of peppers she knew.

If it can be planted, she will wake up laughing from a dream.

Then Qi Qingxi opened the letter.

Those few words made her heart ache.

"Don't wait any longer, sorry."

Qi Qingxi stood in front of the window, looking at the familiar handwriting on the letter paper by the moonlight.

When Gu Yu taught Yunming his homework before, she left handwriting, and she even found and copied his handwriting on purpose.

Tears slowly blurred her eyes and dripped onto the paper, blurring the black ink.

As Li Qiuyue said, as a small restaurant owner with no power and power, she can't compete with Gu Yu, who has a prominent family background.

Not to mention this era, even her era paid attention to being well-matched.

She wasn't really born and raised in this world, Qi Qingxi, a lady who was educated in this era, didn't have so many worries.

At that time, choosing to be with Gu Yu was out of the heart, and I didn't have much hope for the future.

Although she had foreseen that the two of them might be separated one day, when that day actually came, she was still very sad.

She knew that Gu Yu was not a heartless person, so she must have had a hard time writing this letter.

Otherwise, how could it be so unnecessary to put chili seeds in the envelope, I am afraid that it took a lot of effort to find such seeds.

Although the two had no destiny, she accepted his kindness.

She took out another envelope from the drawer, which she wrote to Gu Yu.

It contained the development of the plot of the original book that she was going to tell him, but he was caught off guard and didn't have time to tell him, so he had to write it down first, to see if he could find someone reliable to give it to him.
