Li Daitao

She brought Yi Zhen and the two into the main hall, moved a chair for Yi Zhen to sit in, and went out to make tea by herself.

Yi Zhen's mind was in confusion, and it wasn't until the girl came in holding the teacup carefully that he realized that there should be an old servant in the house, but he didn't see it at this time, and he didn't know what he was going out for.

As he thought about it, he was about to reach out to pick it up, when he suddenly realized that the gift he had prepared early had been in his hand since he entered the door, and he hadn't put it down until now. Just swaying along with his movements, it's ridiculous.

The girl didn't think it was funny, she put the tea on the table first, took the things in his hands for him, just piled them neatly aside, and didn't take a second look.Then he handed the tea to Yi Zhen again: "Uncle, please drink tea."

The cup is an ordinary pottery cup, washed very clean.The tea is homemade camellia, which is ingeniously mixed with dried wild chrysanthemum.Yi Zhen took a few sips indiscriminately, without tasting it at all.On the contrary, Xu Ji liked the taste very much, and seemed to hold the cup and drank it with relish.

The little girl moved a small stool and sat in the lower position as a companion.Yi Zhen was restless, but it wasn't easy to show it, he could only find something to say, thinking that he still didn't know the girl's name until now, so he asked.

The little girl was not shy, she said openly that her surname was Liu and her maiden name was Mingzhu.

Mingzhu is not very old, but she is quite like everyone in her dealings, and her speech and behavior are very decent.It's just that she didn't talk much, she didn't mention her own affairs much, and she didn't ask Yi Zhen too much, but every time Yi Zhen asked her anything, she would answer clearly.

She chatted a few words with Yi Zhen, but saw that Yi Zhen was absent-minded.From time to time, he would lose his mind for a while, and guessing that Yi Zhen might have something on his mind, he slowly calmed down.

The teacup was not big, so Xu Ji drank up his own cup of tea first, then went to the table to bring Yi Zhen's tea over. After drinking it upside down, he didn't think it was enough, so he turned the cup upside down to look at it, and made some cabinets. Yi Zhen didn't even notice the bang bang.

Mingzhu got up and waved to Xu Ji, and took the little guy out of the door quietly, leaving Yi Zhen alone inside thinking about his frightened and worried thoughts.

Mingzhu moved a small cockroach and placed it by the door for Xu Ji to sit on.It was rare for Xu Ji to be obedient and obedient in front of her, and he sat there obediently, holding his face with his two little hands on his knees.While watching her squatting next to weed a piece of vegetable seedlings, she said casually: "Sister Mingzhu, my name is Xiaoji. I am five years old this year and will soon be six. I am very obedient and obedient."

Ming Zhu had never seen what he looked like in normal times, so naturally she let Xu Ji say what she said, raised her head and smiled at him: "Oh, Xiao Ji."

Seeing that she believed her, Xu Ji was very satisfied. While talking nonsense with Mingzhu, he turned his head and looked at the melons, vegetables and beans in the field curiously.Mingzhu was busy doing some trivial tasks within her power, seeing him sitting there obediently, she didn't care much about him.

Xu Ji looked at it, then turned his head to look at Yi Zhen, who was wandering somewhere in the main room, and suddenly stood up from the twig.Mingzhu was a little surprised, and was about to ask him what was wrong, when Xu Ji had already run into the main hall, and after a while, he dragged Yi Zhen out and stood in front of Mingzhu.The little guy said with a high air: "Sister Mingzhu, my father... If Uncle Qin comes back in the evening, we will have to stay for dinner. We can't eat plain rice, let my father... let my father help you with the work!" He raised his small head and said to Yi Zhen: "You help sister carry water and vegetables."

His temper was spoiled by Yi Zhen, and Yi Zhen didn't feel anything when he heard him talking like this, and looked around erratically.Liang Xiang went back to his room, so Yi Zhen didn't see him again, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.When you see a bucket in the corner, you have to go over to get it.

Mingzhu hurriedly stood up and went to stop him. She heard Xiaoji say that her surname was Xu, so she assumed that his surname was also Xu, and said repeatedly: "Uncle Xu, you don't have to be busy, just sit down. Uncle will be back soon."

Xu Ji stopped in front of Mingzhu again, clenching his fists and reassuring her nonchalantly: "Sister, don't worry, we don't just eat and don't cook, and we don't eat much."

No matter how calm and generous the little girl was, she couldn't laugh or cry at this moment, she reached out and touched his little head: "Who said you were worried about eating?"

Yi Zhen also smiled in a trance, and said to Mingzhu: "It's okay. If you have something to do, time will pass faster."

Mingzhu originally wanted to say that it has been raining a lot recently and there is really no need to water it, but after hearing what Yi Zhen said, she had no choice but to take back her words of persuasion.I had no choice but to point to the back of the house and tell Yi Zhen that the canal was behind.Seeing Yi Zhen's wobbly steps, she was a little worried that with Yi Zhen's preoccupied appearance, he would accidentally slip into the ditch, even though the ditch for diverting water was actually not deep.

She kept watching Yi Zhen lift up the water a few times silently, although her eyes fluttered, but fortunately she didn't mean to fall into the ditch.Mingzhu was relieved, but Xu Ji followed to add to the chaos, running around in front of and behind the room.

She was worried about whether Xu Ji would fall, when the courtyard door creaked, Qin Shu led Liang Xiao into the door.

Xu Ji turned his head and saw him, overjoyed, and wanted to run over with such forgetfulness.

The stone path leading to the gate has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are several uneven spots. He was not paying attention, and the whole person fell heavily on the stone path and slid far away. This was really painful. Xu Ji held back for a long time. Only then did he finally cry out: "Daddy, I'm in so much pain! Daddy, Daddy... woo woo woo..."

Mingzhu only thought that his name was Yi Zhen, and didn't think about living elsewhere, she hurriedly ran up to hug him.But at this moment, he heard a bang, and when he looked back, Yi Zhen knocked over the bucket in his hand, somehow managed to splash the whole bucket of water on his body, half of his body was wet, the wooden The barrel rolls aside.

Mingzhu felt that his expression was a bit weird, and she didn't know if the wooden barrel fell on his foot just now. The man seemed to be trembling with pain, and even stuttered when he spoke, but he was looking at his uncle instead of the one who fell. Son: "Xiaoxiaoshu, you, you are you back?"

Mingzhu was puzzled, turned her head and looked again, Xu Ji was still crawling on the ground crying, while crying, she patted the ground with two small hands: "Daddy, Daddy hug me..."

Qin Shu, however, was still standing at the door, his face obviously not showing the joy of reunion with an old friend, and he hummed slowly after a while.Going forward, he picked up Xu Ji from the ground, wiped away his tears, and said lightly, "Don't cry."

Although Xu Ji still felt the pain, he was still obedient, but he couldn't help crying for a while, and he was still sobbing in his throat.Liang Xiao stood on tiptoe, softly coaxing him aside.

Qin Shu didn't say anything else. Seeing that he was reaching out to touch his knee, he gently rubbed it for him.But he looked straight at Yi Zhen, neither surprised nor joyful, it was so plain and weird.

Yi Zhen stood there blankly, barely daring to move under his gaze, and could only smile flatteringly at him, knowing that his smile must appear bitter and forced, not much better than not smiling.

Mingzhu saw that something was wrong, and looked at Yi Zhen with vigilant eyes: "Uncle, this person came to look for you, he said he was your friend. Isn't it?"

Yi Zhen became more and more embarrassed when he heard the little girl say this.Standing there at a loss, he even smiled at Mingzhu.

Seeing him like this, Qin Shu suddenly couldn't bear it for a moment, lowered his eyes, and exhaled softly: "He is indeed my old acquaintance."
