Lan Congxiao

Lin Zhengqing walked into the room, and Qiu Zhu sat by the window and looked at a book, but she was obviously absent-minded, always staring at a word, unable to turn a page for a long time.

Suddenly a hand stretched out and took away the book in his hand, "In the past, you could read books for several hours in a calm manner, but here you also learn to be in a daze?"

"Father? When did you come?" Qiu Zhu raised her head slightly, then stood up, took the crutch beside her, and limped to the table to make tea for him.

"Doctor Su said that you injured your leg and a piece of flesh was cut off. Let me see how your injury is." Lin Zhengqing knew that the injury was not serious, otherwise Qiuzhu would not be walking with a cane.

"I'm not seriously injured. I use this just because I'm afraid that the wound will be cracked and difficult to heal. You don't have to worry." Just as he was about to make tea, he found that there was not even a drop of water in the teapot. Is it also because of this injury?"

"Did you lose your mind? Daddy, you're joking." Qiu Zhu forced a smile on his face, but he didn't continue to chat with his father as usual. Lin Zhengqing could tell at a glance that Qiu Zhu was flustered.

"Which girl?" This straight-to-the-point question stumped Qiu Zhu, who pretended to be stupid and replied, "What girl?"

"If a person hides something in his heart, he will frown and worry, but if he hides something in his heart, he will lose his mind and cannot help himself. Isn't Qiu Zhu the latter?" Suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, "Father, you are disrespectful."

"Don't respect the old... brat." He casually took the book and tapped it on Qiu Zhu's head. It looks more and more like Xunfei.

"Father..." Qiu Zhu lowered her head and rubbed her forehead, but in Lin Zhengqing's eyes she looked childish.

"It's time for you to see your mother, she misses you every day and looks forward to you." Lin Zhengqing put the bundle he brought over in front of Qiuzhu, and after untiing it was a brand new shirt with The embroidery is all embroidered by hand stitch by stitch. "The last time I went to see her, this is what your mother entrusted me to give to you."

It's not the first time Qin Yun made clothes for Qiu Zhu, but this time it made Qiu Zhu feel mixed feelings, thinking of Mrs. Zongzheng who was far away outside the customs. The materials of those clothes were also so delicate and soft, and the stitches were secret. Sewing, who cares about the insignificant places.

"To be able to make such comfortable clothes, do the people who make them really care about the people who wear them?" With a sigh, Lin Zhengqing slapped him again, "You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? If you don't care about who will do it for you clothes."

"Father, I'm not Xunfei, why are you becoming more and more childish like him?" Qiu Zhu wondered if his father mistook him for Xunfei's child.

"If you're looking for something wrong, I'm naturally the most happy." After saying this, Lin Zhengqing got up and wanted to leave, "Your mother has been coughing a lot recently, remember to go to Dr. Su's to get some medicine."

Qiu Zhu pressed the back of her hand to her cheek, with such a little thought, but she couldn't hide it, it was all visible on her face.

In the evening, when Xun Fei was picked up from school, he stood under the big tree outside the door and waited. A group of half-sized boys came out with cloth bags on their backs. .

"You kicked so hard today, it broke the window paper of Mr. Brother!" Guan Zi hooked Xun Fei's shoulder and walked out of the gate.

Before walking a few steps, he saw the second young master Lin under the big tree not far away, his playful smile immediately subsided, and he left with a respectful shout.

"Qiu Zhu, let me tell you, today we played cuju, and I kicked them to pieces." Xun Fei took Qiu Zhu's hand and talked about his interesting stories in the academy with relish.

"Big fat at noon wanted to trick people into eating chicken drumsticks, so I secretly smeared a lot of chili on it, and he rolled on the ground when it was so hot, sticking out his tongue like a puppy."

"Today, my husband deliberately ordered me to recite the book, thinking that I can't recite it. Who knows that I can recite it fluently. He wants to punish me for copying the book. There is no way."

Qiu Zhu just listened quietly, with a faint smile on her lips, watching Xun Fei's storytelling with joyful eyebrows and dancing hands.

"Qiuzhu, you can teach me a few tricks later, next time I play cuju, I'll let them open their eyes."

"Okay, if you stay with me obediently all the time, I will teach you any tricks."

"It's a word."

When turning into a busy side street, all the children who had dispersed just now came running towards Xun Fei, shouting at Xun Fei, "There is a juggling troupe over there on the street, hurry up and have a look."

Hearing that it was a magic trick, Xun Fei's eyes lit up immediately, he turned around and let go of Qiu Zhu's hand, and mixed in with the group of boys, Qiu Zhu shouted his name, but the child was so excited that he didn't hear it at all, his palm suddenly Empty, bursts of inexplicable loss.

In front of the juggling stage, there were three floors inside and three floors outside. Everyone stretched their necks to watch. Qiu Zhu stood in the open distance, staring at Xun Fei's figure, and sneaked into the crowd without any scruples. , I have long forgotten where the person who picked him up just now went.

The trick was over soon, and Xun Fei was still interested in watching, but when everyone left, he found that Qiu Zhu had disappeared.

Standing in place and turning around, there is no waiting figure around, "Qiuzhu..."

Only then did I think of it, and I thought to myself: It’s broken.

He spread his legs and ran to the mountain villa, the servant said that Qiu Zhu had come back long ago, but his face was very gloomy and ugly, Xun Fei thought that he must have left Qiu Zhu aside to watch a trick, which made him unhappy.

Quietly pushing open the door of the study, poking a small head in, Qiu Zhu sat at the table reading a book as if nothing had happened, completely ignoring the big smiling face to please him.

As expected, another big sweet potato rolled into the ground. Seeing that Qiu Zhu didn't respond, another sweet potato rolled into it.

Qiu Zhu still didn't respond, Xun Fei sneaked into the study, put two sweet potatoes in his arms, slipped to Qiu Zhu's table, and carefully placed them on the table.

The sweet potato rolled onto Qiu Zhu's paper, and a large area was blackened. Qiu Zhu didn't get annoyed, and swept the sweet potato away in disgust.

The sweet potato rolled away, and Xun Fei poked it with his finger again when he saw it, and got the sweet potato back.

Only then did Qiu Zhu raise her noble eyes, and deliberately moved the sweet potatoes to the edge of the table, Xun Fei pouted slightly in displeasure, and pulled a chair to sit beside him.

Bored, he obediently took out the book he was reciting today, opened it next to Qiu Zhu, read it for a while, and then pressed the book on Qiu Zhu's paper, "Qiu Zhu, I don't understand this article, can you teach me?" me?"

"If you don't know how to go to class, ask the teacher." Without looking at it, he pushed the book back, looking for trouble and insisting on it, and firmly suppressed "No, if you can't recite it today, you will be punished tomorrow. Anyone who can't recite it will be punished." I'm going to sweep the latrine."

"When you were watching the tricks, did you ever think about sweeping the latrine tomorrow?" Pushing the book back again, Xun Fei knew that every time Qiu Zhu got angry with him, he would deliberately snub him and make sarcastic remarks, despite the number of occurrences in the past three years Quite a few, but he was still very unaccustomed to it.

Seeing that Qiu Zhu ignored him, she burrowed in front of Qiu Zhu, sat directly in his arms, spread out the book and placed it in front of him, "If you don't teach me, I'll just sit here, and throw me out if I can." .”
