Yangcheng

Tang Jianwei raised the little suckling pig in the east yard, and fed it some bean dregs filtered from soy milk from time to time. The little suckling pig grew up healthily, and in a blink of an eye it was already running all over the yard.

The little suckling pig was cleaned up by Tang Jianwei. Everyone was full of curiosity about the pair of little beans, and the little hooves were as pink and tender as the nose.

When Tong Shaoxuan came back from class, the little suckling pig would look at her at the door, as if welcoming her home. The small mouth was hidden under the nose, whether it was opened or closed, it looked like a smiling.

Tong Shaoxuan was about to be made cute by this little suckling pig, and couldn't help giving it countless cute names in his heart, but he didn't really dare to call it out, for fear that Tang Jianwei would roast it when he turned around, Tong Shaoxuan Hang to death crying.

Tang Jianwei, the devil, could see that Tong Shaoxuan liked this suckling pig very much. He often brought the little suckling pig into the house, stroked its head and said how cute it was.

Whenever this time, Tong Shaoxuan turned his head away, resolutely not to taste this cuteness.

"Look at how good I am at raising." Tang Jianwei sighed, "Whether it's A Nian or the little suckling pig, I raise them very well. It turns out that besides being able to open a shop, I also have the talent for breeding."

"You compare me with a pig..."

"Yes, why not?"

Just when Tong Shaoxuan was about to explode, Tang Jianwei added a sentence: "They are all so cute, so clingy to me."

"...I'm not clinging to you!" Tong Shaoxuan didn't rush out, his voice softened but his temper was still there, and he spoke like a spoiled child.

Tang Jianwei was taken aback by her coquettish tone, looking at her with unusual inquiry, Tong Shaoxuan cursed "Damn" in his heart, and immediately hid away.

"Sanniang, do you really want to raise this pig and roast it? Isn't it a little too cruel?"

Zitan is the most direct victim of Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan's flirting and cursing, every day she has to witness the young couple's sweet fight.In the past few days, this pig has been circling around Zitan's feet, and Zitan likes it very much for its cute and well-behaved appearance.

Tang Jianwei looked at the little piggy lying on the ground, sleeping heartlessly, as if seeing Tong Shaoxuan:

"I'm teasing her. I don't plan to roast this little pig. Don't you find that it seems different from other pigs?"

"What is the difference?"

"Pigs are pretty smart, but this little pig seems to be more human. I keep it for other purposes."

……

After lunch with Song Qiao and the others, Tang Jianwei noticed that Aunt He's cooking skills had improved, and the pot of chicken soup and the plate of roast lamb on the table were both well-cooked.

It seems that Aunt He's mastery of meat dishes has improved a lot.

After Tang Jianwei ate it, he couldn't stop praising it, and Song Qiao said with a smile:

"Aunt He said that she learned it all from you, that you enlightened her and kept her job. She praised you a lot in front of me."

Tang Jianwei was very happy that Aunt He could say that. Before, he was worried that he was building a good relationship with the Tong family. While buying the appetite of the Tong family, it would make Aunt He feel a sense of crisis and become hostile to her.Tang Jianwei often goes to the kitchen to feed Aunt He delicious food, and he will never forget her when there is any delicious food at home.

Now Aunt He has kept her job and has a lot of praise for this young lady.

Tang Jianwei learned these lenient and benevolent ways of dealing with people from her, Ye Niang.

Tang Jianwei felt sour and warm in his heart when he heard Song Qiao's generous praise of her.

What Ye Niang taught her was definitely not just the way of business, it turned out that she had taught her how to be kind to others and how to stand in the world in a word and a deed.

Unfortunately, when Ye Niang was alive, she never really understood it.

……

After lunch, I went to the shop in the afternoon and worked until it closed in the evening. Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoqian came back together.

With the smell of oily smoke all over again, Tang Jianwei first went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, and came out smelling deliciously, waiting for Tong Shaoxuan to return home from class.

When I came out of the bathroom with the basin in my arms, I found that there was no wind tonight, and there was a vague sense of uneasy heat in the air. I looked up and saw that the stars were shining brightly, and it was going to be summer in a blink of an eye.

This is Tang Jianwei's first summer in Su County.

Although she didn't know which star was Ye Niang, she knew that Ye Niang must be watching her and her sister somewhere.

Don't worry, Aye, Auntie, Tang Jianwei said in his heart, I will definitely take good care of my sister.

Tang Jianwei returned to the room and put the basin containing acacia and rubbing stones in the corner, wiped his long hair clean, and planned to go out to blow dry, let the wet hair dry quickly, and stop by to see what his sister was doing.

Recently, the food shop just opened and caught up with Lu Lanxin's business. Tang Jianwei was so busy that he didn't touch the ground. He didn't spend time with his sister for a while.

When Tang Jianwei went to his sister's bedroom, he saw the door was open, and Zitan was standing at the door picking up the overturned fruits and vegetables one by one, muttering:

"Unlucky, I have to wash it again."

"What's the matter?" When Tang Jianwei came up to ask, he found that Ji Xue was leaving in a hurry not far away, and disappeared at the end of the corridor in a blink of an eye.

"Ji Xue is here again?" Tang Jianwei asked Zitan.

"Well, not only did it come, but it also flew away. Looking at the whole place, it was all knocked down by her."

Zitan said that she had just washed the fruits and vegetables and planned to go into the house to let the lady eat some. Unexpectedly, before the door was opened, Ji Xue rushed out in a hurry, bumped into the red sandalwood, knocked the vegetables and fruits all over the ground, and even He left without an apology.

Zitan blushed with anger, and it took him a long time to hold back from yelling.

"There's something wrong with that Ji Xue!" Now she and Tang Jianwei are here, and the resentment that has accumulated in her heart for a long time can't help but explode, and Zitan said angrily in a low voice, "I used to always come here to find the eldest lady, and I can bear it , After all, we are often away, and she came here to help. But what does this mean today?! Her arm was almost broken by her!"

"Isn't she kind enough to help? Why are you so angry?"

Tang Jianwei felt strange, it hadn't been a day or two since the two of them didn't deal with each other. When they first came, the two of them had a grudge because of the confrontation at the pharmacy. Unexpectedly, Ji Xue could be regarded as open-minded. She is also willing to lend a helping hand.

I thought the two of them had a good relationship, but I didn't expect to start arguing again.

"I don't know what that coffin face is thinking at all!" After Zitan finished cursing, the expression on his face changed from anger to contemplation.

Tang Jianwei glanced into the room and found that Tang Guanqiu was in the room, neither reading nor eating sweets, just sitting there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Did Ji Xue and sister do something just now?" Tang Jianwei asked, "Has she often come to the house recently?"

"Um……"

Seeing Zitan's faltering appearance, Tang Jianwei understood.

"What did you find?" Tang Jianwei supported Zitan's shoulder and asked her anxiously in a calm voice.

Zitan never hides anything from Tang Jianwei, but Tang Jianwei was too busy a while ago, and Zitan didn't have a chance to talk to her about it. Now that Tang Jianwei asked about it, she told her everything she saw a few days ago.

"Take Ji Xue as Shen Yue?" Tang Jianwei recalled, "This is not the first time, I have also heard my sister call her Ah Ying. But..."

"But Ji Xue really thinks of herself as Shen Yue." Zitan's eyes turned red with anger, "She really thinks of herself as the wife of a big lady!"

"What? Ji Xue really did that?"

Zitan told Tang Jianwei everything he had seen and heard that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

The more Zitan spoke, the angrier she became, and her voice became louder.

Tang Jianwei felt angry in her heart when she heard it, but her reason still made her make a "shh" gesture to Zitan, making sure that no one else around heard them talking, and dragged Zitan into the house.

Tang Jianwei walked into the room, seeing that Tang Guanqiu's expression was still in a daze.

Although she is usually in this kind of muddled state, she still reacts to Tang Jianwei.

Every time Tang Jianwei approached her, she would either hold her hand and call her A Niang obediently, or call her A Ying affectionately—although for a while, she was only called "A Niang", Ah Ying's title seems to have been transferred to Ji Xue.

Why did my sister not respond at all when she was in front of me today?

"Sister? Sister? Ah Jing?" Tang Jianwei called her anxiously.

Hearing her voice, Tang Guanqiu slowly turned his head to stare at her, his eyes were obviously full of melancholy, and his brows were knit together.

Then he let out a long sigh.

It seems that Tang Jianwei hasn't seen her sister have such complicated and reasonable emotions for a long, long time.

"Sugar, no more."

Tang Guanqiu spread out his palm, it was empty.

Tang Jianwei was startled and saw three candies scattered on the ground.

What about another one?

"Ah Ying, she's gone." Tang Guanqiu pulled Tang Jianwei's sleeve, and suddenly raised his voice excitedly, "Ah Ying, she's gone! She left me behind!"

"Sister... Sister, calm down!" Tang Jianwei didn't expect her to be so hysterical all of a sudden, with amazing strength.

Tang Guanqiu stood up suddenly and shouted "Shen Yue" to rush out the door. Tang Jianwei wanted to hold her but was afraid that she would be hurt, so he didn't dare to use any force, but she broke free!

Fortunately, Zitan was clever and blocked the door with his body. Tang Guanqiu lowered his head and bumped into Zitan's chest indiscriminately, hitting her face pale. But god...

This time Tang Jianwei didn't dare to let go, Tang Guanqiu kept crying in Tang Jianwei's arms, Tang Jianwei ran down her hair and comforted her softly.

After a long time, Tang Guanqiu's mood finally subsided, and he fell silent in Tang Jianwei's arms.

Tang Jianwei and Zitan looked at each other.

What did Ji Xue do to her?

Ji Xue left the east courtyard in a hurry, and stopped in the bamboo forest to catch her breath until she was sure that Tang Guanqiu would not follow.

The scene just now was still in front of her eyes, which made her feel turbulent and throbbing uncontrollably.

Tang Guanqiu's scent was still on her face, Ji Xue raised her hand, and slowly pressed her fingertips to her lips, it seemed that Tang Guanqiu's touch still remained on it.

……

After finally coaxing Tang Guanqiu to sleep, it was past midnight.

Tang Jianwei felt cold all over, tired and exhausted. When he returned to his bedroom, he found that Tong Shaoxuan was still flipping through the case.

"Are you back?" Tong Shaoxuan had gone to the next door to look for her before, and knew that she was at her sister's place, and also knew that something seemed to have happened, so she didn't bother her much, and came back first and waited.

Tang Jianwei didn't go back to the house, and Tong Shaoxuan didn't sleep because he was worried about her. He read a book to pass the time, continued to refine his article, and waited for Tang Jianwei.

Tang Jianwei finally came back, exhausted all over.

Tong Shaoxuan put down the pen and walked forward, but he didn't know how to speak. Seeing her sad face like never before, Tong Shaoxuan couldn't bear to ask more questions, and he would speak when she wanted to.

Tang Jianwei looked at her and forced a smile: "What's the matter, haven't you slept yet?"

"Well... I'm waiting for you."

"You're so kind. Let's go, let's sleep together, I'm tired too."

The two went to bed together, it was not too cold tonight, Tang Jianwei still nestled into Tong Shaoxuan's arms.

Tang Jianwei didn't say anything, Tong Shaoxuan accompanied her quietly, until Tang Jianwei finally fell asleep with difficulty, Tong Shaoxuan was relieved, shifted his posture slightly, protected Tang Jianwei more firmly, and slowly fell asleep in search of sleepiness .

……

On the second day Tang Jianwei got up early in the morning, went to Tong Shaoqian and told her to ask her to take care of the shop more today, she had something to do, so she might not go.

It doesn't matter to Tong Shaoqian, anyway, she doesn't have to go to the academy now and will be in the shop every day, but seeing Tang Jianwei's mental state is very bad, this is the first time:

"Shen, didn't you sleep well last night? It's scary to see the black and blue eyes of your eyes."

"Um……"

Tong Shaoqian pulled her and asked, "Did Anian bully you? Tell me, I'll beat her up for you!"

"No, no, Ah Nian is very good." Tang Jian said with a smile, "I'm the only one who bullies her."

"That's good." Tong Shaoqian took a sip after finishing speaking. It didn't seem so good for her sister to be bullied. Her sister really has no conscience.

Tong Shaoqian left, Tang Jianwei didn't go anywhere today, just stayed in the bedroom, looked out the window, and waited for Ji Xue to come.

Ji Xue didn't show up all morning, Tang Jianwei came back after lunch and continued to squat.

After noon, Zitan was about to go out to work, and before going out, he specially told Tang Guanqiu that if there was something wrong, he could ask Qiu Xin and the others for help.

For fear of Tang Guanqiu getting lost, the front and rear doors of the Tong Mansion are closed on weekdays. Zitan can leave as soon as he has work to do, and the little maids in the Tong Mansion and even Song Qiao and the older sisters at home , would come to the east courtyard to see Tang Guanqiu and talk to her from time to time.So even if Tang Jianwei and Zitan were not around, they were not too worried that Tang Guanqiu would get lost.

Seeing Zitan going out, Tang Jianwei had a premonition that Ji Xue might be sneaking here.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a stick of incense, Tang Guanqiu went out by himself when Ji Xue didn't come.

After she walked out of the bedroom door, she hesitated at the door for a long time, seemed a little confused, and then suddenly went in one direction.

Tang Jianwei immediately went out and followed her quietly.

Tong's Mansion is not big, but it is like a maze to Tang Guanqiu. She walked on the veranda twice, and finally walked out of the veranda and entered the bamboo forest path.

Where is sister going?

Tang Jianwei followed behind her, watching her every move.

Could it be just wandering aimlessly?When Tang Jianwei was about to call her to stop, he turned a corner, and in the small pavilion within the bamboo forest, Ji Xue was cleaning the stone table.

Tang Jianwei was startled, and quickly hid behind the bamboo forest, hiding himself.

When Ji Xue heard footsteps, she stopped what she was doing, and when she looked back, Bu was frightened:

"Ah Jing, why did you come here?"

Tang Guanqiu was silent for a while before saying, "Tang..."

As soon as sugar was mentioned, Ji Xue remembered what happened yesterday, and her eyes flickered:

"Candy... I'll buy it for you again. You go back first? I'll take you back."

As soon as Ji Xue came forward, Tang Guanqiu held her hand.

"Jing?"

Tang Guanqiu stared at Ji Xue with love in his eyes.

Ji Xue was so familiar with this look, she looked at herself like this last night, then leaned forward, her lips sealed all her words.

Thinking of this kiss, Ji Xue's heart was filled with guilt. When her thoughts were turbulent, Tang Guanqiu held her shoulder again, and leaned forward to stare at her lips:

"Ah Ying, don't go..."

As soon as Ji Xue uttered the word "I", she saw Tang Guanqiu burst into tears, causing her heart to ache so badly that the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat, and she couldn't speak at all.

"I, I won't go." Ji Xue held Tang Guanqiu's hand to calm her down temporarily. Tang Guanqiu's delicate lips were getting closer and closer, and the weight of her whole body was added to her. Behind Ji Xue was the stone table, I was stuck and couldn't move at all.

Tang Guanqiu's gaze on her was too focused and moving, so beautiful and pure that it didn't seem like anything in the world.

Ji Xue couldn't resist the temptation, her eyes gradually closed, and when their lips were about to overlap, suddenly Tang Guanqiu was forcibly pulled up by a force.

Ji Xue trembled all over, opened her eyes, and the furious Tang Jianwei blocked her sister behind her.

When seeing Tang Jianwei's extremely angry face, Ji Xue was visibly flustered.

Seeing that Wei Wei was about to lose his mind, Tang stepped forward and grabbed Ji Xue:

"You clearly know about my sister's illness, but you use her illness to get close to her again and again! Lie to her! Ji Xue, you helped us before, I am grateful to you, but I hope you understand One thing. You are not Shen Yue, you are not the one she likes! Don't you understand? My sister has no way of judging your identity! She can't recognize anyone at all!" Tang Jianwei became more and more angry as he spoke,

"The person she likes is dead! What face do you have to play a dead person and take away her lover! Take away my sister's last dignity?!"

Tang Jianwei had never been so angry.

For her, her elder sister is her bottom line, she can deal with everything calmly, but her elder sister who loves her since childhood is being teased, she absolutely cannot swallow her anger!

When Tang Jianwei questioned Ji Xue, he never expected that Tang Guanqiu would suddenly grab her and push her away.

Tang Jianwei was bumped suddenly, one hand was detached from Ji Xue's clothes, and the other hand was still holding on.

She looked at Tang Guanqiu in surprise, the person who bumped into her was the one she defended.

"elder sister……"

Tang Guanqiu also didn't understand what he was doing and what the situation was, his eyes were anxious.

She didn't know why being gentle with her wife would be blocked.

"Don't hurt Shen Yue." Tang Guanqiu clasped his hands together awkwardly, and hesitantly said to Tang Jianwei, "Don't hurt her..."

Tang Jianwei didn't question Ji Xue about anything.

Her heart ached so badly that she could hardly breathe.

She knows that her sister at this time cannot be treated with common sense. She knows that no matter what her sick sister does, she should not be questioned, because she can't control herself, and she can't even think like ordinary people.

Nothing about her is what it used to be, she's just a toddler in need of care.

Tang Jianwei understood all this, but there was one thing that caused her pain, and she kept avoiding thinking about it.

But now, with this matter in front of her eyes, she could no longer escape.

My sister is sick, but the closest person still remembers it.

My sister still remembers her wife Shen Yue who has been with her for many years and finally got married, and she still remembers her mother who took care of her and raised her——

Only Tang Jianwei was forgotten.
