Looking up at the stars in 1946

After the beginning of winter, the big fireworks planted by Han Yan formed flower buds.At this time, Han Yan already knew that this kind of flower is actually very easy to grow and does not require much effort, but because it is related to his labor gold for half a year, Han Yan is still very concerned.

After Qi Si came back from Harbin, he asked Han Yan to move out of the yard and live in the lower house with other laborers, so that it was convenient for him to work.Han Yan was very satisfied with this matter.After all, Qi Si was his boss. Although his personality was much better than that of Master Qi, he still had a strong sense of oppression, which always made people tense up subconsciously. After staying for a long time, he was really tired.

It's just that after leaving Qisi's courtyard, Han Yan never met Xiaoyuan again, and naturally no one gave him a small stove, and the food was quite poor.Han Yan misses it very much.

There are not many long-term workers in the Qijia compound all year round. There are only three young men in their twenties. They are poor and dressed in rags.

Han Yan is a cheerful person, and he got acquainted with people within two days.When Maizi heard that Han Yan was here to work for the land rent, he was a little worried, and said: "I rented a few acres of land from Master Qi back then, but the harvest was not good and he asked me to work for the land rent. Now three years have passed, and I I can't go yet."

Han Yan was frightened by his words, and felt a little panicked, deeply afraid that Qi Si would act like Master Qi.He knew that he was small and weak, and even if he was really tricked, it would be useless. He could only hope that Qi Si would have a conscience and not renege on his debts.

After half a year like this, the New Year's Eve is approaching.After Han Yan and other laborers finished all kinds of work in the Qijia compound, he mentioned to the housekeeper Lao Li that he wanted to go home for the New Year.

Lao Li agreed without saying anything, and even wrapped several pancakes for Han Yan to take back.Although he is not a man with a straight mind, Han Yan is sweet-mouthed and hard-working, and he really can't fault him. After getting along for a few months, Lao Li still has a lot of affection for Han Yan.

Qisi has been busy working around since he came back from Harbin, until the New Year's Eve, when he suddenly found that the Qi family compound was bustling inside and outside, and was already preparing for the New Year.

Qi Si was resting on a chair when Lu Fengniang walked in with a little dumpling wearing a big flowered jacket.The little tuanzi had two short braids, a round face, two spots of apple red on his cheeks, and a pair of big eyes rolling around. When he saw Qi Si, he hid behind him shyly.

Qi Si was unusually gentle, he stood up, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he hugged his daughter from Lu Fengniang's hand.Although he has no feelings for Lu Fengniang, but the child is his own seed after all, he still cares about it very much.When I have time, I will hold the child to coax and coax, smile, and there will be no more.

He doesn't have a good father, and in this regard, he doesn't know what to do to be good, he just follows his temperament.

Lu Fengniang said beside her: "Eldest sister, what did mother teach you just now? Tell your father?"

The little tuanzi looked up at Qi Si with his small face up, and the figure of Qi Si was reflected in his big pupils, making him look soft.

"Father, new year, new year... good." While talking, he giggled and hid on Qisi's shoulder.

Qi Si hurriedly hugged her tightly, to be careful that she would fall, and said with a smile, "Jialin is fine too." Looking at Lu Fengniang next to her, he said politely, "Fengniang, you are lucky too."

With a shy face on her face, Lu Fengniang glanced at Qi Si and said, "Whatever Fourth Master says, it should be done."

Qi Si stopped talking and held the child for a while to tease, then Mama Chen came to say that the New Year's Eve dinner was ready.

Although Qi Si has now begun to take over the internal and external affairs of the Qi family compound, the head of the Qi family is still Master Qi, and he is also sitting in the main seat.On both sides of Master Qi are two aunts.Tang Peilian would sit with them only occasionally when she was in the mood, and most of them ate alone in the backyard.Qi Si and Lu Fengniang sat on the right with their eldest sister, while Qi Yishui sat on the left.Qi Yishan didn't spend New Year's Eve at home last year, and this year is also empty, Qi Yishui's face can't hide his loneliness.

Master Qi has been sober-minded recently, his temper has improved a lot, and he has a pleasant face to his family, and he had a peaceful New Year's Eve dinner.

After dinner, Master Qi called Qi Si and Qi Yishui to play cards together.Qi Yishui already had tiredness on his face, but he sat down obediently and touched his cards.

Qi Si glanced at him, thinking that he would be 24 after the new year, but he still looked like 14.

Qi Yishui didn't know how to play cards. After the father and son had passed two laps, Master Qi became impatient and asked Qi Yishui to leave early and replace his mother.Qi Sishun also called his mother to leave the table, and he followed Qi Yishui away.

Qi Yishui saw Qi Si following him, and said with a smile: "It's a rare Chinese New Year, you should spend more time with your wife and children."

Qi Si said, "I have something to tell you."

The two entered Qi Yishui's house one after the other, took off their leather jackets, and sat on the kang.

Qi Si touched a cigarette holder on the kang table, his brows frowned immediately, watching Qi Yishui:

"You are not in good health, smoke less of these and some of them."

Qi Yishui smiled wryly: "If I don't smoke this, I'll be bored in the house by myself." When people are free, it's easy to think about something, and if you think too much, you will feel sad.

Qi Si said: "Second aunt told me that she wanted to find you a wife a while ago, but you won't?"

When Qi Yishui heard this, his face immediately turned gray.Due to years of illness, Qi Yishui's complexion was already very pale, almost transparent.However, upon hearing Qi Si's question, his complexion turned pale again, with tangled blue blood vessels showing a gray and defeated look.

"Si, you also know that my body is not good enough, why bother to drag others down?"

As soon as Qi Si heard this, he felt a little angry, hating iron for being weak: "You know in your heart whether you can do it or not. In the middle of the year, the doctor told you that your bones were improving, so you stopped the medicine secretly; When I said that I wanted to marry you, you started to smoke, Yi Shui, what are you hiding?"

Qi Yishui was so embarrassed by Qi Si's words that he was so embarrassed that he choked up his words. He looked at Qi Si and said, "What else can we do? He doesn't even want to see me, so he asked you to come with me." He told me to take care of myself and marry a wife... Si, you don't understand, he's digging my heart out..." At the end, two lines of tears welled up in my eyes.

Qi Si has never been a patient person. If he hadn't owed Qi Yishan a favor before, he wouldn't have gotten involved in the entanglement between the two of them.After all, brotherly incest is already absurd enough, and now there is a sticky love scene, Qi Si gets a headache watching it.

"It's fine if you really don't want to, I won't force you, don't cry, you don't think it's unlucky to celebrate the Chinese New Year." Qi Si comforted, while handing Qi Yishui a handkerchief.

Qi Yishui felt a little embarrassed when he came back to his senses, quickly took the handkerchief to wipe away his tears, and asked in a low voice, "Is there no news about him?"

Qi Si paused and said, "No, since he left last year, he has been silent."

Qi Yishui said: "I heard from Uncle Li that if the Southern Army couldn't defeat Beiping, he probably wouldn't be able to go to the front either, right?"

Qi Si responded indifferently.

Qi Yishui didn't ask any more questions, but his complexion has improved a lot.Pausing for a while, Qi Yishui didn't know what to think of, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he looked at Qi Si:

"A while ago, I heard that Auntie Sun was planning to find you a younger one. She said that Fengniang would not give birth, and there was only an older sister, and there was no movement in her stomach."

People in their 20s are still children at heart, saying that wind is rain.A while ago I was crying so much, but the next time I wanted to make fun of others.It's just that the flag has no expression on all sides, and doesn't buy it at all.Qi Yishui was immediately embarrassed.

There was another silence in the room.Qi Si saw that it was useless to continue talking, so he got off the kang and prepared to leave.Qi Yishui quickly called him to stop, Qi Si turned around, Qi Yishui said:

"Ah Si, be safe every year."

Qi Si nodded and replied, "You too."

In fact, this is not what he has in mind, but what does it matter?Qi Si thought, he is no longer a teenage boy like Qi Yishui, he can say whatever is on his mind.
