Farmer's Favorite

Holding the other with one hand, Xiao Yi seemed a little excited, he pulled the hands of the two people around him, hung himself up, and swayed a few times with his legs shrunken by the force of his hands.

Crisp laughter sounded.

Xiao Yi thought, this is what it feels like, no wonder the younger brothers in the village like to pull their parents' hands to do this action.

Really very interesting.

However, after swaying for a few times, Xiao Yi lowered his feet, worried that Emma would not be able to lift him.

"Xiaoyi Xiaoyi, come again." Wenzheng narrowed his eyes with a smile, he stretched out his hand and pulled, obviously wanting to do it again.

Wu Tingyi on the other side also raised his tightly clenched hands, and said with warmth, "Come again."

"Ah." Xiao Yi replied heavily, like Wen Zheng, with a pair of big eyes narrowed in a smile, once again borrowing the strength of the two people around him, he shrank his legs and swayed.

Along the way, the two mums laughed crisply, and the corners of Wu Tingyi's mouth gradually lifted.

back home.

Wu Tingyi went to light the charcoal fire.

After the temperature in the room rose, he came to Wen Zheng who was sitting beside him obediently playing with his fingers, untied the cloak on him, and asked softly, "I have pens and inks at home, how about we draw?"

Wen Zheng nodded violently, clapped his palms and shouted: "Drawing, drawing."

Holding the cloak taken from Wenzheng's body with one hand, and the childlike hand with the other, the two came to the table, and he said: "Let's draw, and Xiaoyi will come to practice calligraphy."

"Uncle Wu, I'll just go outside and practice calligraphy in the snow. It's easier to write in the snow than in the sand." Xiao Yi waved his hands repeatedly. If it wasn't for the homework assigned by his master, he would not be willing to do it at other times. Using ink and paper is afraid of spending money.

Wu Tingyi spread out the rice paper, spread out the two sides of the square tabletop, he picked up a brush and handed it to Xiaoyi, he said: "Leaving aside the rest, but your handwriting has to be fluent, this is Your wife said it."

Xiao Yi's face turned red.

He also knew that Master was very dissatisfied with his writing.

He wanted to work hard, but the rice paper was too expensive. He had no money to buy it, but now he was reluctant to use it. When he had free time, he took a tree branch to write and draw on the ground, but in this way, he felt that he was making progress. very slow.

Now listening to Uncle Wu's words, he was even a little shy.

Wu Tingyi patted Xiaoyi's head, he said: "There is no need to worry about other things, there is no shortage of these rice papers at home, Xiaoyi just use them."

As she said, it seemed like a memory again, with light in her eyes, "Do you know that your mother..."

What happened back then, Wu Tingyi did not continue, but Xiao Yi raised his head, his lips parted slightly, and finally asked: "Wu...uncle, did you know my Eun before?"

In fact, such doubts have long existed.

After picking up Uncle Wu, when he woke up and saw E'Mu's surprise, he had some doubts, but he never asked.

Because Xiao Yi didn't dare.

As long as he can remember, he and Eminem have been wandering, and it's just the two of them.

He didn't take all the hardships and hardships, because he felt that as long as Eminem could be by his side all the time.

Therefore, he thought about other relatives, but he never expected them.

but now.

He wanted to know a little bit, and even after getting along with him for this period of time, he knew that Uncle Wu was really good, so good that he had some expectations in his heart.

There was a little choking in his voice, Xiao Yi still wanted to ask, he wanted to ask, is Uncle Wu the... daddy he has never met since he was a child?

If it is true, he will not hate or complain, because he can really understand the feeling of being loved and cared by his relatives these days, and he can also understand why children from other families see their father The adoration in the eyes.

Because he is like this now, so, if it is true.

Xiao Yi has already decided that no matter what happened before, but now, he really wants his father to hug him.

There is also expectation in the eyes with water vapor.

Wu Tingyi squatted halfway, the child in front of him looked somewhat similar to that person, but his dislike for that person dissipated in Xiao Yi's body, and even with love, he put his hands on the child's shoulders, He said to him: "Your mother was only when you were your age. She was young, but she was extremely rigid, her brows were tightly frowned, and she didn't like to joke. At that time, I thought, who in this world can make him laugh?" Laughing, that person is definitely the most important person in his heart."

Xiao Yi blinked, some tears were stained on his curled eyelashes, he looked sideways at the person beside him who was already drawing with a pen, but E Mu, who had his head down, immediately raised his head and looked back, grinning. With a smile on his lips.

Very warm and beautiful.

Xiao Yi asked: "Is this person me?"

However, without anyone responding to him, Xiao Yi can already be sure that this person must be himself, very sure.

Sure enough, Wu Tingyi nodded, and he said: "Of course it is Xiaoyi, and it is also because of Xiaoyi that Wenzheng can smile like this."

Xiao Yi shrugged the tip of his nose, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

But at this time, in fact, Xiao Yi suddenly understood something in his heart.

Uncle Wu, I'm afraid he really isn't his father.

The reason why I guessed like this before was because Uncle Wu was really good to him and Ah Mu, and Uncle Wu looked at Ah Mu like Brother Zhuang looked at Brother Lin.

Again, because of his name.

When he was very young, Ah Mu could only be called 'Xiao Yi', he didn't know who he was calling, but unconsciously, this 'Xiao Yi' gradually became his name, and in Uncle Wu's name, the same There is also a 'Yi' in it, which is what made him suspicious.

Xiao Yi suddenly said: "Uncle Wu, can I have a rectification of my name?"

……

Zhuang Xinyan looked at Lin Qi with tenderness and affection in his eyes.

If it wasn't for a coincidence that he saw such a look in the bronze mirror, he might not have believed that such a look would appear in his own eyes. After all, he remembered it very well. When he was young, the thing he didn't believe the most was like.

But at this time, what he is most grateful for is this.

Love can wipe away all the fog and wash away all the dirt.

Let his world become bright instantly.

Zhuang Xinyan lowered his head slightly, and pressed a kiss on Lin Qi's forehead, looking at his sleeping face, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

The eyelashes trembled slightly, Lin Qi opened his eyes, there was still a trace of confusion in his eyes, and he wanted to reach out and rub his eyes, but his palm was firmly held by the big hand.

"Didn't you go to the village chief's?" Lin Qi coughed lightly when he just woke up, his voice was still a little hoarse, and he propped up his upper body and sat up.

"I just talked about the bandits, and I don't want to take care of the rest. I will leave it to the village chief and come back." Zhuang Xinyan straightened his clothes, seeing that he was still in a daze, and then He said again: "Am I arguing with you, do you want to sleep again?"

"No, I just had nothing to do. I just fell asleep leaning on the leaning. If I continue to sleep, I'm afraid I won't be able to fall asleep at night." Lin Qi shook his head slightly to wake himself up. He asked, "Where is the village chief?" How do you say it?"

"What else can I do? Naturally, I am not greedy for this merit. He will go to the town to discuss with the people from Bafang Pavilion in the yamen tomorrow." Zhuang Xinyan said very calmly: "Let's send this merit over, and we have to do it." Let those people take over gratefully."

Lin Qi didn't really understand what was going on here, but seeing the expression of the person in front of him, for some reason, his heart beat a little violently, he nudged the person in front of him, and said, "Pour me a glass of water .”

Zhuang Xinyan got up and went to the table, Lin Qi hurriedly lifted the blanket and put on his shoes and socks. He knew that if Zhuang Xinyan was here, he would help him put on his socks and shoes when he knew he was going to get out of bed. No matter how many times, he felt that he couldn't get used to it.

Zhuang Xinyan turned back with the teacup in his hand, how could he not know what his little husband was thinking, but it was also very interesting to see his flushed face.

After Lin Qi drank warm water, he suggested that the two of them go out for a walk together.

Today's weather is fine, although it is still ice and snow outside, but luckily it does not continue to snow.

The two walked side by side, shoulder to shoulder, and walked out the door without any destination.

Talking while walking.

Charcoal Cake also followed, and for a while it ran forward, and for a while it pulled the snow with its forelegs, and fell backwards.

Unconsciously, the two actually came to the foot of the mountain.

Lin Qi stopped, bent slightly, grabbed a handful of snow from a small tree next to him, and kneaded it into a ball. Not long after, a half-sized ball appeared in his hand.

Zhuang Xinyan picked it up, and with a flick of his hand, it touched the head of the charcoal cake next to him.

The head was full of snow powder, and the charcoal cake shook its head, but it didn't hurt. Someone was playing with it at the time, and it threw its limbs and jumped towards the person in front, but it didn't want the sharp claws to catch the hem of the clothes. Unable to pull it off, it just hung on Zhuang Xinyan's hem.

Zhuang Xinyan was wearing fine cotton cloth, with such a hook, the silk was immediately drawn out, and his face sank immediately.

When he was about to bend over, Lin Qi had already squatted down, rescued the charcoal cake, held it in his arms, and said, "You teased it first, so you can't blame it."

Zhuang Xinyan's face was dark, and he stretched out his hands to hold the charcoal cake's head and knead it, but how could he know that after kneading, there was still a shiny liquid in his hand, presumably it was the saliva of the charcoal cake. Wipe off the hair on the charcoal cake.

Lin Qi suppressed a smile, this man has a different look in front of others, but in front of him, sometimes he looks a bit childish.

He stretched out his hand and stuffed the charcoal cake into the arms of the person opposite, and said with a smile, "Hold it well."

Zhuang Xinyan narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's not like it has no feet."

"Hold it even if you don't have feet, look at Charcoal Cake who is about to fall asleep." Lin Qi raised his chin as a gesture.

Maybe it was because of being comfortable by Shun Maoshun just now. At this time, Tan Gao's eyes were already half-closed, and he was about to fall asleep.

Zhuang Xinyan is helpless, isn't this an ancestor?

I just thought, such a good day, when the charcoal cake grows up, I will definitely not have to enjoy it.

Dahei is big, so the wolf that has never been seen before must not be small. When the charcoal cake grows bigger, no one will hug it no matter how much it wants to hug it.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhuang Xinyan's face again.

Lin Qi asked: "What's the bad idea? Laughing like this."

Zhuang Xinyan quickly replied: "No, I'm thinking about what kind of wife I should find for Charcoal Cake in the future."

Lin Qidao: "You don't need to look for it, the charcoal cake is very powerful, so the daughter-in-law can naturally look for it by herself."

Zhuang Xinyan leaned forward and said with a smile: "Just like me, I found my husband by myself, right?"

Lin Qi rolled his eyes at him and didn't answer.

Zhuang Xinyan walked over, shoulder to shoulder again, and said: "Spring is here, let's go to Xicheng in the north, Lin Baocheng is always thinking about that place, I heard that there are many exotic flowers there, let's buy some Come back and plant them in the garden."

Lin Qi didn't refuse, he nodded and agreed.

During these days, there were many villagers who went out, and the discussions in the village were all about what they saw and heard when they went out. look.

And he was lying when he said he wasn't tempted. If he had this opportunity, he would be willing to go around more.

Following Xicheng's words, the two walked back again.

When they arrived at the gate of the house, they unexpectedly saw Mrs. Wang walking out of the house.

Wang held the basket in one hand, and when she saw the two people who came back, her face was full of smiles, and she said: "Second brother-in-law, you are back, second brother, I just went in to see if I saw you. I plan to wait until later to come back."

"Sister-in-law, why are you here when you're free?" Lin Qi stepped forward and gestured for Wang to enter the room again.

"The Lin family is just our brothers, so it's natural to move around a lot." Wang said with a smile, and glanced at the tall man beside him from the corner of her eye, not knowing whether it was luck or disappointment.

Lin Qi's life is as good as possible, but if they can be more inclined to their natal family, their life will be much easier.

It's just a pity, according to Lin Qi's temperament, it is impossible to be biased, and this second brother-in-law has a lot of skills, but he is not easy to fool. It is absolutely impossible for them to want to gain benefits for nothing.

Moreover, to be honest, Lin Qi would still send some gifts to her natal family during the festival, but no matter how many gifts she gave, if she didn't pay attention, she would be carried by her father and sent to her uncle's house.

Even if she was making a scene, she couldn't stop it. After all, she was not as powerful as Lin Qilai.

Suppressing these thoughts first, Mrs. Wang handed over the basket, and she said, "This is the pickled cabbage I made. You also know that I am good at this, so I wanted to bring you some."

Lin Qi reached out to take it, with a faint smile on his face: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I remember that my third brother loves your pickled cabbage the most. I'll send him some later."

"No, no, no, third brother, I have already given them away. You can keep these and eat them. After you finish eating, go to me and ask for them. I can still get a few cabbages." Wang said, waving her hands.

Lin Qi was a little surprised.

He knew that after Lin Dong got married, almost no one from his natal family visited him.

This made him feel very uncomfortable. Lin Dong would go home to help the village from time to time because his natal family was so close, but his family never came to visit his in-law's house. When the people in the in-law's family saw it, they would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable. OK.

That's why, he would visit Lin Dong with courtesy from time to time.

Even if they knew that the members of Village Chief Lin's family were good to Lin Dong, they just wanted to support him.

He asked: "When did sister-in-law go to the third brother's house? Why didn't you invite me to come with you?"

Wang looked at Zhuang Xinyan sitting next to her and didn't say much. Although her face was kind, but for some reason, it always made her feel a little terrified. She replied absent-mindedly: "It's not because of your elder brother's business that I want to go. The third brother asked about the situation."

Lin Qi frowned: "What's the big brother's business?"

Only then did Wang remember why she came here, and she immediately put on a positive face, and she said, "If your eldest brother stays at home, our family will starve to death. Doesn't everyone in the village go out to sell eggs? After we discussed it, we also decided to let him go, so we asked the third brother-in-law for some advice, and we will go to Xingcheng for a walk in the future."

Lin Qi asked, "Who does Big Brother plan to go with?"

Wang replied: "Just a few of his playmates who grew up together, they are familiar with each other, and they will not cheat your elder brother."

Listening to it like this, Lin Qi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, it was better to go out and do things to earn money than to stay at home and eat nothing.

The smile on Wang's face deepened, and she said: "Second brother, it's rare for your elder brother to figure out this time, whether you can quench his anger, I also want to ask you to do me a favor this time."

Regarding this, Lin Qi was not surprised. There was no change on his face, and he asked, "Sister-in-law, please tell me first."

Mrs. Wang felt that there was a way, and hurriedly said: "It's about the salted eggs, see if you can move a thousand salted eggs for your elder brother first, and let him go out for a walk."

I rested for a few days before, although there were more survivors, but the number of people who bought them later was much larger, and a little bit of a thousand salted eggs might be able to get together.

Lin Qi nodded and said, "Brother can ask for a thousand salted eggs, but can the family afford so much money?"

Half of a thousand salted eggs is seven taels of silver. In fact, he knows that the help that sister-in-law wants is definitely not because of the number of salted eggs.

Sure enough, the smile on Wang's face was a little stiff, and she said: "It's true that the family can't afford so much money, but we have also asked, and basically all the people in our village who do business can earn money back. When you come back from Xingcheng, let your elder brother take the initiative to send you the silver, do you think so?"

Hearing this, Lin Qi first glanced at the people around him, and Zhuang Xinyan responded with a smile.

He knew that Zhuang Xinyan wanted him to get attention.

Lin Qi hesitated for a while, but finally he opened his mouth and said: "You can buy as much money as you have, and you can do as much as you want."

"Second brother..." Wang suddenly raised her voice.

Lin Qi interrupted her, and said quietly: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I don't believe father."

Mrs. Wang was dumb, with a weird face on her face.

In fact, before she came here, she said that she would pay off the debt on credit, but her father's expression was disapproving. She also knew that if her man really came back with money, he would snatch it away if he found out. Send it to the uncle, and you will never rush to pay the debt first.

She sighed slightly. In the final analysis, what she said was nice, but in fact, even she herself was not sure whether she would be able to repay the debt at that time.

Wang took out three or four taels of broken silver from her pocket and put it on the table, she said: "This is all the family's belongings, please ask the second brother to help prepare the salted eggs, and I will give it to your elder brother tomorrow." Come get it."

Lin Qi nodded and agreed.

Until Mrs. Wang left, he didn't touch the silver on the table.

He didn't really believe what the sister-in-law said. When he got married, he gave the sister-in-law more than four taels of silver, but his parents definitely still have a family property, and even the sister-in-law probably has a private house. If they really want, seven taels of silver is not enough It must not come out.

After all, I still don't want to join in.

Zhuang Xinyan stepped forward, put his hand on Lin Qi's shoulder, held him in his arms, and said, "Don't worry, just make up a round number for them."

Lin Qi shook his head, and said: "As much as you want, let alone parents, elder brothers and sisters-in-law can't get used to it, sooner or later they will get used to it."

This is not a lie, the past days have given him a deep understanding.

Zhuang Xinyan was not talking, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He really likes his little husband's temperament more and more.

For the people of her natal family, Lin Qi never treats them ambiguously. Before getting married, he will restrain and control them; Most people develop towards the good side.
