Picking mulberries

"Come here, why are you carrying so many things?" Although Qiu Jingdong said politely, he helped carry things into the house.

"I didn't prepare them specially. They are all from home. A Yang said that you and your ancestors like to eat these, so I brought some here."

"Has Ah Yang arrived in Qingyuan so soon?" Wang Qiuxia asked.

"Ah... Ah Yang went back?" Cui Dongxu was stunned.

"Yeah, it was secretly put back by his grandma. Didn't we bump into it on the way?" Wang Qiuxia said.

"No, I received a call from my grandma early in the morning, saying that A Yang had been on a hunger strike for two days and was still injured all over his body. I rushed over immediately," Cui Dongxu was very worried, "I haven't eaten for two days, Can the car hold up?"

"It turns out that you don't know that Ah Yang has gone back, so you should go back quickly, lest he jump around in Qingyuan again." Qiu Jingdong said.

"Since I'm here, I'm still going to see Uncle Qiu." Cui Dongxu said with some embarrassment. Although he looks young, he is actually only six or seven years younger than Qiu Jingping. I remember that when I first met him, he was called Brother Qiu.

"See what he's doing, he looks so pedantic, let's not rub his hot face against his cold ass." Qiu Jingdong persuaded.

"Did you talk like that?" Wang Qiuxia tugged at the corner of Qiu Jingdong's clothes, "Since I'm here, I still want to meet the elders of the family, after all, grandma is still there."

"Don't focus on talking, Xiao Cui came all the way, you have to get something to eat first, so that he can fill his stomach." Qiu Zaiyun looked at a box of red wine, almost drooling.

"No, I'd better go there first." Cui Dongxu declined.

"Don't worry," Qiu Jingdong hurriedly pushed Cui Dongxu to the sofa and sat down, "People have to eat and go into battle when they are fighting, so they have the strength to do it. You can put your stomach here with peace of mind, and you may not be sure when you get there." I can't even take a sip of water."

"Let me order a bowl of noodles, it's very fast, just sit down for a while." Wang Qiuxia hurried to the kitchen.

"Xiao Cui, don't worry, I'll go over with your uncle later to cheer you on." Qiu Zaiyun said while sitting on the rocking chair beside him.

"Thank you, ancestor," Cui Dongxu bit his lip, and said shyly, "Let me go alone first, to find out about my uncles and aunts. If it's too late, I will ask my ancestor and uncle to help."

"Well, that's fine," Qiu Zaiyun nodded, "You are a famous professor, a man of profound knowledge and wealth, my little great-grandson respects cultural people very much, and he is arty and pretends to be a literati, I believe he will not be too aggressive towards you My reaction is probably to spend more time talking."

"I think so too." Qiu Jingdong nodded.

"What are your plans after you get married?" Qiu Zaiyun continued to ask.

"Ah?" Cui Dongxu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

"What the ancestors mean is, after Ayang's parents recognize you, how do you plan to live, will you not return to our Long Palace?" Qiu Jingdong explained.

"Because our work is in Qingyuan, we must live in Qingyuan for a long time, but we will try our best to find time to return to our place to live for a while. Isn't this a natural oxygen bar? We must be blessed here. If the family members If you want, you can also live in Qingyuan." Cui Dongxu said cheekily.

"Grandfather, this is tens of millions of times better than Ah Hong, isn't it?" Qiu Jingdong said to Qiu Zaiyun, "Qingyuan is not far from us, and they all have cars. If you are happy, let them take you there It’s okay to live in the city for a year or so.”

"Well, it's very convenient." Qiu Zaiyun said happily.

"If the ancestor is willing, I can take you there today." Cui Dongxu's nervousness when he came here has disappeared without a trace.

"Forget it today, we'll talk about it after you make a decision," Qiu Zaiyun asked seriously, "A Yang is the boss of your father's company now, so he must be very rich, right?"

"It's okay." Cui Dongxu smiled.

"So it's okay for me to drink this kind of red wine every day, so Ayang won't have any financial burden?" Qiu Zaiyun pointed to the red wine in the cardboard box, and swallowed.

"It's okay for the ancestors to drink it as water." Cui Dongxu was amused.

"Really, then you should hurry up and get married... It seems that you are already married. I heard from Jing Dong that the last village banquet was a wedding banquet for you, right? He also received a bride price," Qiu Zaiyun said from the rocking chair. Sitting up, "You two have been living together for a long time, right? Then you are already a husband and wife. What's the problem now? Oh, by the way, there is still that boy Jingping who is struggling, Xiao Cui, Don't worry, I forgive him for not daring to do anything to you. If he wants to beat the mandarin ducks with a stick, I'll beat that poet to death with a cane."

"Grandfather, er, you have an edge when you speak, okay? Why do you look like a child as you get older? You can say whatever you think in your heart, and don't think about whether it will hurt others." Qiu Jingdong was a man in front of Cui Dongxu. It's embarrassing, this old ancestor is really an old ancestor, he doesn't care about anything when he sees good wine.

"Xiao Cui is not an outsider now, so I've lost your face by saying that? Do you think I'm someone who can sell my great-great-grandson if I like this wine?" Qiu Zaiyun said very unhappy, "Ah Yang is with Xiao Cui It's already a firm matter, who can bear to break them up, do you dare? Don't dare. Since you can't break them up, then you have to let them go, they live their happy life, and I will take a little bit out of it It's not cheap."

"The old ancestor likes to eat and play whatever he likes, just tell me and A Yang, the family must not be polite." Cui Dongxu laughed.

"You have lived through several dynasties, who dare not make you happy." Qiu Jingdong muttered, but he was slandering in his heart. He really has no heart and no lungs to live a long life. Like this old man, he might not be able to find it even if he played a lantern. The second one is that the great-great-grandson is looking for a man as a partner, but he has no objection at all, just let things take their course.

"I can't see your dejected face. You don't see a trace of happiness all day long, and you don't have any vitality. Do you dislike me for wasting your family's food?" Qiu Zaiyun accused.

"Oh, the conscience of heaven and earth, if you keep saying this, it will kill my life." Qiu Jingdong looked aggrieved.

"I always say that I like to run outside and play with children. You say that I face your stinky face at home, can you not feel aggrieved?" Qiu Zaiyun seemed to have found someone to complain, and fiercely yelled in front of Cui Dongxu. Lost great-grandson.

"Old Ancestor, I am already a Ben Wu. I can play with you with a playful smile like a child. I am busy with the mulberry fields over there and Luqiusi here. I can have a meal every meal." It would be nice to have a drink with you in time." Qiu Jingdong smiled and shook his head at Cui Dongxu, thinking in his heart, if this kid can really add to his family, it would be good to throw this old urchin to him and A Yang, anyway they I can't have children, and there are many old and young children in the family, which adds to the excitement.

"Old Ancestor, after a while I'll pick you up to play in the city. There are many old people in the park. Every day there are people playing the piano and singing opera, and there are all kinds of activities." Cui Dongxu seemed to have read Qiu Jingdong's mind, followed coaxed.

"Okay, okay, I've heard that life in the city is very colorful, I'm looking forward to it." Qiu Zaiyun laughed.

With Qiu Zaiyun and Qiu Jingdong chattering, Cui Dongxu's expression relaxed, and the tension in his heart passed.After eating the noodles cooked by Wang Qiuxia, his stomach was full, and Cui Dongxu returned full of energy. Besides, Qiu Yang has been sent back to Qingyuan, so there is no need to worry about him being punished, and the pressure he has to face is much less.

"Why are you so open-hearted, and still have time to make tea? Hurry up and follow." After Cui Dongxu left, Wang Qiuxia saw Qiu Jingdong was about to wash the teapot and make tea, so she grabbed it.

"Didn't he want me to follow?"

"Xiao Cui doesn't want you to follow, you can't find an excuse to go over and have a look. The ghost knows what attitude Jingping will treat him. It would be embarrassing if you tear your face. He is still A Yang's savior."

"No way," Qiu Jingdong had to put back the tea set that he had taken out, "No matter how much you object, you have to distinguish between grievances and grievances. Who is Jingping? The famous scholar in our county is not such an unreasonable person."

"In case you get confused in a hurry, hurry up, don't tremble, go ahead." Wang Qiuxia urged.

"I was always urged to do the brother's backlash, why don't you go?" Qiu Jingping said dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, okay, I'll go too, I'll go with you." Wang Qiuxia took off her apron, picked it up and shook it, "my baby Ayang's heart is no worse than theirs, he really dares to let our Ayang have a bad life , I dared to pick up a hoe and knock on his pot."

"It's so fierce, go and try it." Qiu Jingdong snorted.

Zhou Guimei and Zhuang Huaying were making tea in the shade under the pomegranate tree in the yard. When they saw Cui Dongxu coming to the door with a big bag and a small bag, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were stunned, and it took a long time for them to react.

"Xiao Cui, haven't you met A Yang? I let him go back secretly." Zhou Guimei lowered her voice and stepped forward to take the things from Cui Dongxu's hand.

"I just heard from Uncle and the others," Cui Dongxu smiled awkwardly, "Maybe he drove too fast and didn't see his car."

"Then go back quickly, don't make Ah Yang worry over there again." Zhou Guimei glanced upstairs, signaling Cui Dongxu not to disturb Qiu Jingping in the study.

"It's all home, so it's justified not to visit grandma." Cui Dongxu laughed.

"Hungry, I'm going to get something to eat." Zhuang Huaying couldn't tell what expression was on his face.

"Auntie, don't be too busy, I just ate at Auntie's." Cui Dongxu said quickly.

"Ah?... After eating, oh... let's go into the house and rest for a while. After such a long journey, I must be tired." Mao Maoran was called aunt by Cui Dongxu, Zhuang Huaying couldn't digest it for a while, and couldn't even move straight. Tongue.

Ever since Zhuang Huaying found out about the relationship between her son and Cui Dongxu, although she saw her husband's reaction violently, she immediately expressed her position on the same front with her husband, and even used force on her son, but she didn't feel a trace of sadness in her heart. , Hearing the grandmother next door talk about the hardships she suffered when she was young, she was so uncomfortable that she shed a few tears along with her. Now that her son is going to be with his teacher, she looks like she is watching a TV series, with a spectator mentality.

If Qiu Yang was like other men, she might get mad, might go crazy, might go to other people's work units or schools to make a big fuss, and now her son is looking at his own savior, her husband's saviour. The son is a gentle and elegant scholar like her husband. She hesitated, hesitated, and confused. The images of her son and Cui Dongxu together appeared repeatedly in her mind, and she was relieved all of a sudden, let go, and relieved.

It would be wrong to say that the matter between Qiu Yang and Cui Dongxu had no impact on Zhuang Huaying, but the impact was not a rebound on Qiu Yang and Cui Dongxu, but an intensified guard against Song Jiping.In the past, Zhuang Huaying was moved by Song Jiping's kindness to Qiu Jingping in all kinds of ways, but now that the matter of his son was associated with Song Jiping's past, Zhuang Huaying's favorability for Song Jiping dropped to a negative value in an instant, and he wished to be able to express his affection for Song Jiping. He erased from her husband's memory.When she heard that Qiu Jingping wanted to match Song Nianping to Qiu Yang again, Zhuang Huaying's first reaction was that her son should hurry up and get along with Cui Dongxu. When Qiu Jingping sighed anxiously and tried every means to stop her, the real meaning in her heart was that she wanted her son and his teacher to go far away. Elopement, as long as the family does not have any relationship with the Song family from now on, the son should find a man. Anyway, it is a marriage from a previous life, not to mention that the other party is also handsome, has a stable job, and a wealthy family. The parents are also very tolerant and loving to their sons.

"Auntie, is uncle at home?" Cui Dongxu went all out, as if a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

"Uncle? Oh... At home, at home," Zhuang Huaying's head was short-circuited again, and it took him a long time to realize, "He is writing upstairs, so be quiet, and he can't stand the noise. Let's not disturb him this time, and we'll talk about it next time. "Zhuang Huaying felt scared when she thought of her husband's stinky face, of course she didn't dare to let Cui Dongxu face him.

"Yes, yes, Xiao Cui, come next time, you hurry back, so that A Yang won't worry about you again." Zhou Guimei hurriedly echoed.

"Isn't that good? I don't want to say hello to my uncle when I come here. I'd better wait in the living room and say hello when my uncle comes down to rest." Cui Dongxu said and was about to step into the living room.

"Hmm, chattering non-stop, and asking me to do things." Qiu Jingping, who had seen everything from upstairs, couldn't bear it any longer, and went downstairs in a pretentious manner. There was nothing he could do. , If you don't show up, people won't leave.

"I'll make tea for you." Zhuang Huaying saw her husband go downstairs, and quickly slipped into the kitchen.

"I'll help you set up firewood." Zhou Guimei followed her daughter-in-law into the kitchen.

Qiu Jing kept a flat face, although there was no temperature but it was not cold either. He was thinking about how to organize his words, but when he heard a sound of "beep", Cui Dongxu knelt down in front of him.

"Uncle, I'm sorry to make you sad." Cui Dongxu muttered.

Qiu Jingping was so choked by the word "uncle" that he couldn't even utter a word. He hadn't savored it carefully yet, and suddenly there was a thunderous sound from the gate of the courtyard: "Scholar, what are you to ask Professor Cui to kneel down?" , you think you are the Emperor’s father.”

Qiu Jingping raised his eyes and realized that his brother and sister-in-law were coming. Before he could react, Qiu Jingdong, who was running over, kicked his old leg firmly on his ass, and Qiu Jingping staggered and almost fell down.
