Song Cheng didn't dare to speak, Master Xu laughed dryly and said, "If you weren't usually fierce, why would my wife say that?"

Song Cheng silently nodded and swallowed the mouthful of dog food, but Mr. Cui didn't let Mrs. Xu go. He smiled and said, "Old Xu, you said that. How have I, Cui Gu, been violent in recent years?"

"Well, when we were young, our family was not afraid of the sky and the earth, and we would hide when we saw you, what do you think?"

Speaking of Xu Fuzhi, Mr. Cui let out another long sigh, "Oh, could it be that I was so frightened before? This kid left as soon as he said he wanted to or secretly."

Song Cheng stood aside and only listened to the two old men talking about their daily life. Occasionally, the two of them would talk about famous mountains and rivers or old classics.Although Song Cheng was not bored, he broke into the door and stood beside Mr. Cui, and he didn't dare to move any more. Right now, he felt that his feet were sore.

Around noon, there was the sound of the door opening outside. Song Cheng heard the reputation and looked around, only to see a young man in rough cloth walking in from the outside with a bundle of firewood on his back. a loyal man.

Song Cheng subconsciously looked at Mr. Cui, wanting to see if this was his real son. How could such a strict and eccentric wife raise such a son?

Cui Pingzhi put the firewood on his shoulders at the door, patted his clothes and walked in. He bowed to Mr. Xu and Mr. Cui, "Master, father." He looked at Song Cheng who was standing aside and smiled. He asked, "Is this Master Xu's student?" As he spoke, he reached out and stroked Song Cheng's hair, smiling very heartwarmingly.

Song Cheng suddenly felt that such a talent was like a big brother. His big brother Song Shen was a genius since he was a child, the absolute heir, and his second brother Song Che was completely out of tune.Cui Ping is simple and honest, with big warm and rough hands, Song Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't feel more comfortable in his heart.

Master Xu smiled and said, "Exactly."

Cui Pingzhi smiled and said, "What's your name?"

Song Cheng smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Song Cheng."

Cui Pingzhi didn't seem to expect it, he asked, "Which Cheng?"

"Clear Cheng."

Cui Pingzhi smiled and said, "My name is Cui Pingzhi, you can call me Big Brother Cui from now on." He patted Song Cheng on the shoulder, Song Cheng smiled and called, "Brother Cui." Cui Pingzhi responded, All four people in the room laughed.

After greeting Cui Pingzhi, he went to cook, and Song Cheng quickly seized this opportunity to follow Cui Pingzhi out.Cui Pingzhi is very patient with children, not to mention Song Cheng is well-behaved, and the two get along very well.Cui Pingzhi was busy, and Song Cheng ran behind him.After lunch, the two old men went to play chess, and Cui Pingzhi took Song Cheng outside to play.

A large area of ​​loquat trees grew on the mountain behind Mr. Cui's house, and most of them were ripe at this time, so Cui Gu took Song Cheng to pick the loquats.Song Cheng used to eat fruits, they were all washed and served by servants, where did he see them growing on trees?Suddenly the child became angry, and plunged into the loquat forest, picking and eating.Cui Pingzhi followed behind him, watching Song Cheng running around, he asked with a smile, "Have you ever come out to play?"

Song Cheng shook his head and said, "I've gone out to play, but I've never seen such a big forest with so many loquats!" He said and showed Cui Pingzhi all the loquats he picked in his arms.

Song Cheng didn't care if the fruits were ripe or not, he picked the big ones whenever he saw them.Cui Pingzhi picked out the bad ones for him and said, "These look good, but they taste astringent. You picked the wrong ones."

Song Cheng didn't believe it, so he took one and rubbed it casually a few times before stuffing it into his mouth. After he bit it, it was really astringent. He bent down and spit out all the loquat in his mouth. He looked at Cui Pingzhi's hand with a bitter face. The loquats that were picked out asked, "What about these loquats?"

Cui Pingzhi said, "Throw it away."

Song Cheng, "What a pity."

Cui Gu smiled and said, "There are so many loquats, it's nothing to throw away a few, lest you spoil your stomach."

Song Cheng sighed in his heart, "The ancients were really extravagant." He watched Cui Gu throw away the bad loquats.

When Mr. Xu took Song Cheng home, Song Cheng used Cui Pingzhi's book case to fill half a case of loquats. Cui Pingzhi's book persuaded Song Cheng not to memorize it, and sent it to Song Cheng when he went to the city that day. Whatever Cheng said, he had to carry it back and be eaten by his teacher and Aunt Qi.Cui Pingzhi was helpless, so he took over as Song Cheng.

On the way, Song Cheng was tired from reciting, so Master Xu went over to recite some roads for Song Cheng. It was not until night fell that Song Cheng and Master Xu arrived home.

Mrs. Xu was also very happy to see the loquat, so she hurriedly found a bamboo basket for Qi's mother and son, and ordered Song Cheng to bring it to Mrs. Qi.Song Cheng happily went, so he watched a "stir-fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots" up close.

As soon as Song Cheng walked to the door of Qi's house, he heard Qi Yue yelling all over the yard. He raised his hand but was embarrassed to knock on the door, so he stood by the door and waited quietly.

The door of Qi's house was not closed tightly, revealing a gap three fingers wide, through which Song Cheng could just see the scene in the courtyard.

I saw the slender lady Qi, rolling up her sleeves and holding a rolling pin, chasing Qi Yue all over the yard, "You little bastard, stop for me!" Qi Yue screamed after being beaten, and ran around holding her buttocks, " Mother, I know I was wrong!"

"You know you're wrong?"

"Got it! Mom, I really got it this time!"

"You know? You know and you commit crimes every time! If I hadn't bumped into you today, would you have demolished the doors of Mr. Xu's house?"

Speaking of which, Mrs. Qi grabbed Qi Yue and rolled her rolling pin again. Qi Yue screamed loudly after beating her.After running for several steps, Qi Yue finally broke free from his mother and ran to the gate.Lady Qi shouted, "You little bastard, go out if you have the guts, and don't come back after you go out!"

Just as Qi Yue was about to pull the hand to open the door, he saw his mother chasing after him again. Whether he will come back or not is something to be discussed later, let's escape the beating first, and wait until his mother's anger subsides!Thinking of getting here, Qi Yue opened the door——

Song Cheng: ...

"I, I'm here to deliver the loquat..."
