Li Daitao

Since Qin Shu said so, Mingzhu really treated him as a guest, and seeing that Yi Zhen was wet, she wanted to find a set of uncle's clothes to change for him.

The corner of Qin Shu's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything, and let Mingzhu go into his room to find clothes.Liang Xiao coaxed Xu Ji, called Uncle Yi, took Xu Ji by the arm knowingly, and took him to the back of the house to play.

Xu Ji probably really hurt his leg from the fall, and he was a little limping when he walked.

Qin Shu watched him and Liang Xiao turn the corner, and then turned to look at Yi Zhen.

Yi Zhen stood there wearing half-wet clothes, and said awkwardly: "Xiaoshu..."

Qin Shu didn't answer, and walked over to pick up the bucket and put it back where it was.Look at the vegetable fields that have been watered.He couldn't help frowning: "Uncle Zheng said that there has been enough rain in the past few days, and the roots will rot if it continues to fall." These vegetables were planted by Uncle Zheng with Pearl, and he spent a lot of effort. He had heard that Uncle Zheng Having said that, he was also a little worried, and turned his head and glared at Yi Zhen.

Yi Zhen was afraid of his icy politeness. Hearing him say that now, although he was a little embarrassed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly, "If it gets damaged, I will pay for it."

"You planted it to pay for it?" Qin Shu dismissed it, and glanced at him with the corner of his eye. "Will you plant?"

Yi Zhen didn't know how to answer this time, so he just stood there and smiled embarrassingly.But it was a little more comfortable than before.

Qin Shu knew that this person was not so easy to give up. Seeing that he had really found his home now, it was difficult to drive him out, and he couldn't think of what to say to him, so the two stood there and looked at each other in a daze. Yes, Qin Shu then asked him with a little displeasure: "What are you doing here?"

Yi Zhen said in a low voice, just to take a look.

At this time, Mingzhu took the clothes and asked Yi Zhen to change, the two of them didn't say anything,

He is taller than Qin Shu, Qin Shu's old clothes are worn on his body, it is inevitable that they are a bit shorter, Mingzhu smiled when she saw it, took the clothes he changed and hung them on the bamboo fence beside him.Turning around, he said to Yi Zhen, "Uncle, you can stay for dinner today."

"He still has things to do, so let's wait another day."

"That's disturbing."

Qin Shu said this almost together with Yi Zhen, neither of them thought of it.They looked at each other.Yi Zhen smiled slightly, pretending not to see Qin Shu's warning stare, and said softly, "I'm really not busy today."

Xu Ji also poked his head out from the corner of the room, and said shyly, "I'm hungry, my feet hurt, and I can't walk anymore."

Mingzhu remembered that the child had been muttering about the dinner from just now, and now that she said that, she didn't understand the child's ability, so she couldn't bear it.

Uncle has always been very kind-hearted, Xu Ji said so today, but he didn't express anything.Mingzhu was a little puzzled, and looked left and right between the two of them.

She was extremely intelligent, and Qin Shu was afraid that she would realize something, so he nodded and said helplessly, "Well, if you don't mind, stay for a light meal."

While talking here, the old servant Zheng Bo also came back. Hearing that Qin Shu’s friend came, the old man was obviously much happier than Qin Shu. He kept trying to get Yi Zhen to stay for dinner, but he insisted Go out and sell some cooked food and come back.Qin Shu originally said it was unnecessary, but Zheng Bo insisted on going.He was quite excited, pulled Qin Shu and said softly: "It's rare to have a friend of the young master come to the door. This kind of entertainment is always required."

Seeing that he was so happy, Qin Shu didn't want to make it clear that this was not a friend, but an enemy.I had no choice but to obey Zheng Bo, and when he was sent out, he stuffed some scattered silver into his hand.I picked a few more eggplants and cucumbers in the yard.Zheng Bo bought back some bones and two fish, and a meal was quickly prepared.

Liang Xiang didn't recognize who Yi Zhen was when he was eating, and left the table leisurely after finishing a bowl of rice, which really made Yi Zhen heave a sigh of relief.Qin Shu also only served a few children and Zheng Bo with vegetables, and carefully picked out the fishbone before putting it in Xu Ji's bowl, but he didn't pay much attention to Yi Zhen. Instead, Zheng Bo was by the side. He was very attentive and didn't say anything else. During the dinner, he just kept holding food for Yi Zhen, and advised him not to be disgusted with it and eat more. Even Yi Zhen was aware of it and was flattered.

In the end, Qin Shu couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed ahead of Zheng Bo, carrying the meat and bones into Zheng Bo's bowl, saying, "Your old man has been suffering from backaches, so you should eat more bones. Don't work as a day laborer outside. "

"I'm in good health, and I can still move around, and those tasks are not very tiring." Zheng Bo felt a little embarrassed, coughed dryly, and secretly looked at Yi Zhen. "Don't say this in front of the guests."

Qin Shu didn't want to treat Yi Zhen as a guest at all, but for Zheng Bo's sake, he didn't say anything.

After the meal, two children helped to clean up, and quickly removed the meals and wiped the table clean.Liang Xiang is not completely idle at ordinary times. When he is more conscious, he teaches Mingzhu to read and write, and also checks her homework at night.After Ran Xiao came back, this incident also brought Liang Xiao along.At this time, looking at the time, Mingzhu took Liang Xiao out, and took Xu Ji out along the way.

Qin Shu said behind her: "Sister, turn on the oil lamp, don't damage your eyes, don't worry about the lamp oil."

Mingzhu agreed: "Understood."

Zheng Bo brewed a pot of tea for the two of them and then closed the door and left, leaving the two of them talking in the main hall.

Qin Shu had difficulty speaking, so he had no choice but to keep silent.

"Is Mingzhu your sister's daughter?" Yi Zhen also fell silent for a while, then suddenly asked softly.Qin Shu immediately glanced at him vigilantly: "What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, this child is really nice." Yi Zhen recalled the girl's every move, capable and generous, with a pleasing appearance, really likable.For a while, he thought of the baby who died young, and for a while, he really wanted to have such a daughter.All kinds of thoughts are messed up in my mind. "I heard you call her sister..."

Qin Shu was taken aback for a moment, staring fixedly at the oil lamp on the table, but his expression gradually softened.

Yi Zhen heard him say softly: "My sister's child is no different from my daughter. Her stepmother later gave birth to a younger brother, who is already a powerful person, and she doesn't want to see her even more. My brother-in-law is... "

"I took her over and regarded her as my own daughter in my heart. Although I escaped back then, all thoughts in my heart were ashamed, and I had no idea about the future in a daze. Tongcheng couldn't tolerate me. I dare not come back either. I can't think of anywhere else to go."

"After I woke up, for a long time, I felt that my child should be a daughter, even if she wasn't a younger sister, she was still a daughter... Not long after, Xiao Hei found me. After Liang Xiao was born, I still The first time I saw him, it was as if he had grown into a three-year-old child in the blink of an eye and suddenly appeared in front of me. Meng Zhang treated him very well, and he was also very well behaved. But at that time, to me, he was completely He was a stranger who couldn't be stranger, and I knew he was my son, but it was hard for me to accept it psychologically."

"Even though he and Xiao Hei were always by my side at that time, I couldn't go home because I was very confused, and sometimes I still felt that I couldn't go on. I was about to collapse..." Qin Shu paused slightly, as if he didn't He never thought that he would say so much to Yi Zhen.But since he opened his mouth, he kept on talking. "At that time, I couldn't help it. I went back to Tongcheng secretly. At that time, I wanted to come back to see my father, and then I..."

"I saw Mingzhu at that time. Just at the first sight, I thought she should be my daughter. It was also at that time, I knew clearly that she was not, and my sister would never come back. But fortunately, She was there... It was because of her that I was able to finally calm down at that time."

Yi Zhen listened silently, and said after a long while: "She was buried on the east mountain outside the city, and a small monument was erected, and her name was not written on it. There are beautiful mountains and clear waters, and no one bothers you. You can Go and see her." He paused, then whispered, "Do you hate me?"

Qin Shu tilted his head and thought for a while, looking a little dazed, and finally smiled helplessly: "What does Hou Ye think? Of course I hated it, but after so many years, some things are not as strong as they used to be. Hou Ye is just like that." I am a person who will take revenge, and my identity can't be changed. Even if we do it again, we are still opposite each other, and the ending is probably the same. In fact, I am not afraid of pain or hardship. I understand that you and I have different identities and positions. Although I hated it for a while at the time, it was not to the point of being unforgettable. Besides, you were really good to me in the next few years. I misunderstood you about my sister and my mother. .”

"It's my sister's matter that makes me really hate Hou Ye. I don't know if I still hate Hou Ye, but I really can't let it go. I admit that Hou Ye really wants to treat me well now. Can Hou Ye Give me a better life than now, but I really don't need Lord Hou to do anything." Qin Shu said softly, seeing Yi Zhen visibly trembling from the corner of his eyes, and finally swallowed the rest of the words.He just said softly: "I will take good care of Liang Xiao, and you don't need to worry about studying."

Yi Zhen became hoarse, feeling pale and powerless, but still tried his best to say: "Xiao Shu, I really like you!"

Qin Shu listened, and turned around and smiled at him very gently.It seems that this sentence is dispensable.He said to Yi Zhen in a very gentle voice: "Master Hou, you go back to Beijing, Jian An is waiting for you there. I am just an insignificant person, if you forget me, Master Hou will be much happier."

Yi Zhen's face turned pale, his back was covered with cold sweat, but he stubbornly uttered a word: "No."

Qin Shu said everything Ke could say.There was nothing he could do about it, so he stopped talking, and the two of them sat in silence again.

After a while, footsteps came from outside, and Xu Ji's voice came first: "Daddy."

When he came in, he looked left and right, but walked up to Qin Shu, squatted down and hugged his feet, yawned, wobbled with his chin propped up, his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand catties, but he still worked hard Hold on.

Qin Shu's expression showed instant support, he sighed, and said to Yi Zhen, "Go back."

As soon as Xu Ji heard the word "go back", his eyes widened suddenly, he was stunned for a while, his eyes became dull again, his eyelids slowly dropped, but he said in his mouth: "I'm not sleepy at all, I'm not going back yet , let’s talk.”

Even though Qin Shu could be hard-hearted towards Yi Zhen and intend to break his thoughts, his heart was always soft towards the child, and he said helplessly for a while, "Go to brother's bed and sleep with him."

Liang Xiao had been quietly hiding outside the door. Hearing Qin Shu's consent, he immediately poked his head out, beckoned and yawned, and Xu Ji went with him.

Qin Shu looked at Yi Zhen, and his tone relaxed a bit: "This section of the road is not easy to walk, if you don't mind, just stay here for one night, thank you for coming to visit this time."

Yi Zhen didn't know what he was thinking, his face was thoughtful.He agreed in a low voice.
