An Ziqi's ancient life

An Ziqi carefully cut off a bunch of shiny purple grapes with small scissors, then gently placed them in the bamboo frame covered with a layer of soft grass mats, and then went to cut another bunch.

An Liji was also holding small scissors, his face full of vigor, not at all like the oppressed middle-aged man with premature graying in An's old house.

Following An Ziqi's example, Qin Yi hopped around in the vineyard, trying to find bigger and purpler grapes.

"Brother Qin, can you stop dancing?" An Zimin stepped on the small bench and protested against Qin Yi's behavior. His eyes are dazzled, okay?

"Oh, I see." Qin Yi touched the tip of his nose, smiled embarrassedly, and stood there, earnestly cutting the grapes.

"The grapes in our garden can earn at least seven or eighty taels of silver!" An Liji looked at the grapes with glowing eyes, "Your uncle Ji and the others took them to Fucheng for ten yuan a catty, and they can be sold for fifteen or sixty taels of silver!" Wen Yijin!" Uncle Ji is the young owner of the caravan that An Liji knew.

"If only we had a shop in Fucheng." An Liji sighed, and carefully put a bunch of grapes into the frame.

"Father, there will be a shop in the future. I asked Brother Tian Sheng to keep an eye out for us in the town. When we are in Songfan in the future, we can go to the county seat." An Ziqi said.

"That is." An Liji laughed as he thought of something.

Seeing that An Ziqi and An Liji were not paying attention, Qin Yi looked eagerly at No. [-], gritted his teeth, and quietly selected a bunch of smaller grapes, and threw them on the ground while no one was watching. .Then cut another string as if nothing had happened.

No. [-] immediately lay down on the ground to block the grapes, and No. [-] sneaked over, picked up the grapes in one gulp, and went out of the garden.

No. [-] stood up again. Seeing that the owners didn't notice their small movements, he rubbed Qin Yi's thigh affectionately, and then ran away happily.We can't let that No. [-] greedy ghost eat up all of it.

Qin Yi smiled in satisfaction, so far only No. [-] is willing to talk to him, oh, maybe he can break the curse of keeping a pet and dying!Much more bribes to bribe the little ones.

"Qin Yi, you don't need to secretly feed the numbered grapes anymore. They eat too much these days and they tend to have diarrhea." An Ziqi's voice drifted over.

Have loose bowels?Qin Yi froze, no way!What if you die?Is his curse about to be fulfilled again?Qin Yi fidgeted, "I'll go out for the convenience." After speaking, he left the vineyard in a hurry.

An Ziqi secretly laughed, this Qin Yi always likes to secretly give extra meals to the numbers, some dogs can't eat food at all, what should I do if the food is spoiled?He should be worried.

Qin Yi ran out of the vineyard and ran to the back yard of An's house. He finally got to the kennel. No. [-] and No. [-] were lying leisurely in the kennel. Outside the kennel were grape skins and seeds.

Seeing Qin Yi, Number Ten wagged his tail, "Wow!" Kid with winks, Number Ten likes you.

Seeing these two "paralyzed" in the nest, Qin Yi immediately felt terribly guilty, "I shouldn't, I shouldn't have fed you so much! I'm hurting you!" Qin Yi walked out in frustration, it's over It's over, if An Ziqi finds out that he has spoiled their dog, will he drive him away in a fit of anger?

Number ten: "Woof." Why is that kid so stupid again?

No. [-]: "Bow woof." Human beings are troublesome, leave him alone, quickly throw the grape skins and grape seeds into the fat pit, if the brothers see us, they will scold us for eating alone.

"Wang." Let's go.

The two dogs picked up the garbage on the ground and ran towards the fat pit.

Qin Yi went back to the vineyard dejectedly, and started cutting the grapes without saying a word. No. [-] and No. [-] were eaten up by his own greed, and he didn't know anything!

Several people were busy in the vineyard and cut ten boxes of grapes.

Weighed in front of Ji's shopkeeper and made a record.An Liji and An Ziqi carried the frame onto the carriage, and Ji's carriage was already waiting outside the garden.

"Master An, look at the remaining grapes in your house..." Shopkeeper Ji paid the silver, counted the grapes, and looked at the remaining grapes in their home.

"The remaining grapes are not for sale, and the children want to pour some wine." An Liji said.

"Well, if the wine is not made well, such good grapes will be wasted." Shopkeeper Ji felt a little regretful.The An family's grapes are indeed so good that the young owner's family is reluctant to sell them, and they have all brought them to their own winery to make wine. They can produce a large batch of top-quality wine.

"It doesn't matter, children love this, as parents, we just want our children to be happy." An Liji also said.

"Your children are really happy." Shopkeeper Ji sighed, "Master An, it's agreed, our family has to contract more than half of the fruits that go up the mountain, so we can't let others." Shopkeeper Ji said again.

"No problem, no problem, the fruit on the mountain will take a few more days, and I will definitely keep the good ones for you."

"That's good, I'll take my leave first." Shopkeeper Ji cupped his hands and directed the servants to harness the horses and drive the carriage.

The Shaodong family only made a trip to Xuzhou to find such a good source of goods, so lucky.The An family's food is really good, the watermelon is really delicious, the grapes are so good, and the snacks from Mr. An, the old lady is lovely to eat.With such good goods from the An family, it is estimated that they can't keep them secret. There will probably be many people coming to compete with them next year. It is very important to establish a good relationship with Mr. An in advance.Their young master is very powerful.

Shopkeeper Ji left contentedly, with the fragrance of Anjia Qingcha still in his mouth.Looking at the food box, such a big pastry box, the old lady should be very happy, so I should hurry back and report to my life.Shopkeeper Ji ordered the servant to hurry up.

An Ziqi watched the carriage go away, and saw his father fondly touching the bag of silver, he was a little funny, but he could still understand An Liji's mood.

"Father, you're back to your senses!" An Ziqi said right next to An Liji's ear.

"You brat, you're scaring your father!" An Liji went to grab An Ziqi's ear, but An Ziqi laughed and dodged it.

"Master, Young Master, it's bad, no...it's not bad, it's because I'm happy, madam has started!" Xiaoxi ran over in a panic, too excited and scared, and even fell down.

"What did you say?" An Liji paused for a moment.

"Husband... ma'am..." Xiaoxi panted, "Madam is about to give birth, start now!"

"Father! Father! Go back quickly!" An Ziqi gave An Liji who was stunned.

"Xiuniang, Xiuniang!" An Liji stumbled and ran towards the house, An Ziqi and An Zimin quickly followed.

"Brother! Brother! Is mother going to give birth? I'm going to give birth! I'm going to have a younger brother!" An Zimin blushed with joy.

Entering the courtyard, Mrs. Zhao has already entered the sterile delivery room that An Ziqi had prepared long ago. The best midwife in ten miles and eight villages had already entered the delivery room.

An Liji was stopped outside by Aunt Zhang, "Master, Madam is giving birth, you should wait outside, men are not allowed to enter the delivery room."

"I won't go in, I won't go in..." An Liji twirled the dough outside the delivery room, shaking hands for a while, stomping his feet for a while, fidgeting, and soon big drops of sweat dripped from his forehead.

An Ziqi was also very nervous, after all, this was the first time he encountered such a thing as a woman giving birth!Still here.Although he did a good job in the early stage, he was still afraid of accidents.

Zhao's low moan came out, it was not as heart-piercing as An Ziqi imagined.

An Ziqin and Xiao Huan came over with hot water. An Ziqin was still a girl who hadn't left the cabinet and was also stopped outside. Aunt Zhang got the water herself and brought it in.

Hearing her mother's voice, An Zimin's face turned pale with fright. An Ziqi asked him to go back to his room first, but An Zimin refused to leave no matter what.An Ziqi had no choice but to hug An Zimin.

"Brother, brother, why hasn't my brother come out yet!" An Zimin stared at the closed door and kept muttering.

"Don't worry, my brother will come out soon. As long as Zimin sleeps, my brother will come out." An Ziqi coaxed carefully. An Zimin had never seen such a thing before, and he might be frightened by his mother's painful moans. .An Zimin gradually fell asleep under An Ziqi's calm words, An Ziqi carried An Zimin to the wing and covered him with a quilt.

Qin Yi became serious because of the serious atmosphere of the whole family, subconsciously imitating An Liji and turning around in circles.

An Ziqi continued to wait outside the door with his father.

Aunt Zhang came out again, "Madam needs to use some more things, the cervix has not been fully opened, so save your energy and wait until it's time to use it."

"I, I'm going to stew old ginseng soup for mother, and then I'll get a bowl of noodles." An Ziqin wiped off his sweat, and then walked to the kitchen.

Xiao Huan followed to light the fire.

"Xiaoxi, you and Xiaoshu go to keep the hot water ready at all times, it is used a lot here." Aunt Zhang continued to order.

"Yes."

An Ziqi looked at Aunt Zhang's orderly command, and lamented that it was right to have such an experienced old man in the family. Originally, this position should belong to Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li probably didn't want to come.

The family waited outside for several hours, An Liji trembled with fright before Mrs. Zhao was born.After Mrs. Zhao gave birth to An Zimin, there was no movement for so many years. He thought that he would only have three children in his lifetime, but he never expected to have two more.The expectation for the child is still not comparable to the safety of the Zhao family, and An Liji wished to replace it with her own body.

"Father, go get something to eat first!" An Ziqi worried, his father looked very bad.

"It's okay, it's okay, dad is not hungry, not hungry..." An Liji's eyes were dull, and Zhao's groans were sometimes high and sometimes low, each sound seemed to hit An Liji's heart.

An Ziqi just watched his father go on like this, but her mother ate noodles and drank old ginseng soup, and his father just kept doing it like this. Before the child was born, he fainted, what should he do?

An Ziqi and Qin Yi signaled, and the two pulled An Liji away, and poured another bowl of porridge into it.

An Liji ate a bowl of porridge, gained strength, and ran outside the delivery room to wait.

An Ziqi vaguely heard the words that the cervix was opened and the amniotic fluid broke, and then the midwife's voice encouraging Zhao Shi to exert strength, and then Zhao Shi's voice changing tone, he almost wanted to rush in to help his mother.

After waiting for a while, hot water was poured in continuously, and basins of bloody water came out. An Ziqi's palms began to sweat. How could he not give birth for such a long time?Could it be dystocia?

Seeing so much blood, An Liji nearly fainted, but still insisted on refusing to leave.

After another hour, it was almost dark, and candles were lit in the delivery room.An Ziqi was trembling, afraid of hearing the words "protecting the adults or protecting the children".

Fortunately, this kind of thing didn't happen. Soon, there was a loud cry of a baby, and An Liji kowtowed to the north gratefully.

"Congratulations, master, congratulations to master, you are a boy!" Soon, Aunt Zhang gave An Liji a look at a small swaddling baby.The big man An Liji cried on the spot.

"Is there another one?" An Ziqi glanced at it and asked anxiously.

"Young master, don't worry, Madam still has strength, the first one will come down smoothly, and the second one will be soon." Aunt Zhang carried the child back again, but she couldn't let the wind blow.

Sure enough, within a few quarters of an hour, the second child's cry sounded, but it was slightly weaker than the first one.

"Congratulations, sir, the lady has given birth to a pair of twins! The second one is a daughter." The midwife came out beaming with the second child in her arms. An Liji gave the midwife a reward of ten taels of silver, and the happy midwife closed her mouth Not close anymore.

Xiaoxi took over the child, and the midwife also received the reward, and went back happily.This Anjia is really generous, giving so much at once.She has lived in An's house for so long, eating and drinking well every day.Madam is also a lucky one, except that it took a long time to open the cervix, the birth of the baby went smoothly, and it is the most auspicious twin, so you must go back and talk about it.

Only the whole family can enter the house.

As soon as he entered, An Ziqi smelled a strong smell of blood, and frowned quietly.

After the child was taken care of, she placed it beside Mrs. Zhao, and Aunt Zhang took out the last blood basin containing the placenta and poured it out.

Mrs. Zhao was still awake, looking at the two infants beside her lovingly.

"Xiu Niang, you have worked hard." An Liji grabbed Zhao Shi's hand.

An Ziqi also squeezed over, and quietly injected supernatural powers into Zhao Shi's body, and Zhao Shi's tired body suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"It's not hard, Brother An, look how cute our child is." Mrs. Zhao directly called out the couple's pet names, remembering that An Ziqi and An Ziqin were still here, a blush appeared on her pale face.

"Yes, the children are very cute." An Liji smiled as he looked at the two little children.

An Ziqi dragged An Ziqin out to let the couple talk about themselves.

"I'll go to the kitchen to see if I can make some nourishing soup for my mother." An Ziqin said to An Ziqi.

"Well, I'm going to see Zi Min." An Ziqi also said.

Seeing Qin Yi standing in the yard feeling lost, looking lonely and pitiful, An Ziqi's heart moved, and he went to hold Qin Yi's hand.

In the past, Qin Yi's hands were always warmer than An Ziqi's, but today they were somehow cooler than An Ziqi's.

"Qin Yi, are you okay?" An Ziqi asked worriedly.

"It's okay," Qin Yi pulled out a forced smile, "Congratulations, you have added a younger brother and sister."

"Yeah." An Ziqi nodded, Qin Yi seemed to have something on his mind, An Ziqi didn't want to expose his scars, and didn't ask, "You've been with us for so long, go back and rest first."

"Hmm!" Qin Yi walked towards An Ziqi's room as if he was sleepwalking, and An Ziqi didn't feel anything wrong, he was gradually getting used to having someone stalking him like an octopus in the morning.

An Ziqi first went to the kitchen to get a bowl of minced meat porridge, then went to An Zimin's room, slowly input his powers, and An Zimin woke up.

"Brother, why did I fall asleep?" An Zimin rubbed his eyes, "Ah! My younger brothers." An Zimin was about to get off the kang and run to Mrs. Zhao.

"Don't worry, don't worry," An Ziqi grabbed him, "Mother has already given birth, twins, you have a younger brother and a younger sister."

"Really? Great, I'm going to take a look." An Zimin still wanted to run away.

"Aren't you hungry?" An Ziqi pulled him.

"Gulu..." An Zimin's stomach began to sing.

"I'm hungry," An Zimin covered his stomach in embarrassment.

"It's okay to see my younger siblings tomorrow." An Ziqi gave An Zimin the porridge.

An Zimin took it, swallowed it two or three times, put the bowl in An Ziqi's hand, and ran out.

An Ziqi looked at his hurried back and shook his head amusedly.

Putting the bowl back into the kitchen, remembering that Qin Yi didn't seem to have had dinner either, he put a plate of cakes on the stove, took a jug of milk, and went into the room.

When An Ziqi entered, Qin Yi was lying on the kang with his back facing him, looking very depressed.

"Qin Yi, are you okay? Do you want to eat something?" An Ziqi put the things on the small table and patted Qin Yi's back.

Qin Yi trembled, and suddenly stretched out a hand, grabbing An Ziqi's hand.

An Ziqi wanted to pull his hand back, "Don't move." Qin Yi said suddenly, "Let me hug you, okay?" Qin sat up, pulled An Ziqi onto the kang, and hugged him tightly.

An Ziqi didn't push him away, Qin Yi buried his head on his shoulder, An Ziqi always felt that he was crying, so he patted Qin Yi's back tentatively.

After a long time, Qin Yi said sullenly, "Ten years ago, I should have been happy waiting for my younger siblings to be born."

After Qin Yi finished speaking, he fell silent again. An Ziqi didn't rush him, but still patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"At that time, I fell into the water in the winter, and my health was very bad. When winter came, I was very sad." Qin Yi changed his posture so that An Ziqi could not see his eyes. "My mother is pregnant with my brother. Taking care of me day and night, who would have imagined, I didn't get better, but my mother fell down because of exhaustion and trance."

An Ziqi heard Qin Yi talk about his family for the first time, but he didn't answer.

"Later, my younger brother gave birth prematurely, and pots of blood came out, and I stood in the yard supporting myself. My mother's screams kept ringing in my ears."

After a long silence, An Ziqi said hoarsely, "Then what happened next?"

"Later, I fainted later, and when I woke up, my mother and younger brother were gone..."

An Ziqi didn't know how to comfort Qin Yi, so he had no choice but to let him hug him even tighter.

"Later, my father told me in a trance, son, you must not be nice, maybe you can live longer in the future! At that time, I didn't understand what my father meant. Later, my father also died. On the battlefield." Qin Yi suddenly trembled, An Ziqi changed his hand from patting Qin Yi's shoulder to hug him.

"I grew up a bit, and finally understood what my father meant. Later, the one who appeared in front of everyone was a sick child, Qin Yi. He didn't live long, and he couldn't even have an heir, because he fell into the water and hurt himself when he was young."

An Ziqi didn't know what to say.

"That's why I survived to adulthood, and that person even wanted to make up for me because of guilt." Qin Yi laughed mockingly.

"You, isn't this good?" An Ziqi whispered.

"When I was 12 years old, I met my master. He saved me and taught me martial arts." Qin Yi said slowly.

Qin Yi didn't talk anymore, An Ziqi could still imagine Qin Yi's arduous journey of fighting wits and courage with those people alone in order to survive, so he let him hold him quietly until midnight, and Qin Yi fell asleep tiredly up.

An Ziqi supported Qin Yi, let him lie down on the kang, and covered him with a quilt.

Qin Yi's brows became pimples when he fell asleep, presumably he must have been terrified every day for so many years, and he had to act on every occasion, it was really hard work.Otherwise, how could this person be inferior to the weak crown, and put a thick mask on his face?

An Ziqi stretched out a finger to smooth Qin Yi's eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "Good night..."
