Back to the ancient restaurant

Li Hongshen didn't notice Li Zi'an's expression, he was very interested in the plate of golden shredded candied apples on the chopping board.

He was born in a wealthy family, even though he was not loved by his family, he grew up in rich clothes and fine food.Although the dishes he eats on weekdays are not exquisite, they are still much better than ordinary people.Even so, it was the first time he had seen the dish in front of him that looked so attractive.

"What is this?" Li Hongshen asked.

Seeing that Li Hongshen's eyes were full of curiosity, which was an expression he had never seen before, Li Zian's whole body instantly became energetic.After adjusting his expression, he smiled deeply at Li Hong, who thought he was extremely handsome, pointed to the candied apple on the chopping board, and said to him in a very calm tone, "Oh, this is a small dessert called candied apple. I have nothing to do at home to coax my little one Children play with it casually, but the taste is not bad, you can try it."

After all, Li Zian touched the edge of the plate with his hand, and found that the temperature inside was quite high.He took a small bowl and scooped a bowl of water out of the water tank, and added a piece of apple with chopsticks.At the moment when the apple was clamped, strands of gold-like threads were pulled up.Li Zian glanced at the expressions of the crowd out of the corner of his eye, seeing the surprised faces of the crowd, he couldn't help showing off.

Seeing the gold threads kept coming, Li Zian rolled them up with chopsticks, quickly dipped them in the water in the small bowl, and then handed them to Li Hongshen's mouth.

"Come on, open your mouth."

Li Zian followed Li Zian's words, and Li Hongshen seemed to be bewitched. Looking at the golden shredded apple in front of him, he followed Li Zian's gesture and opened his mouth.

"This thing is very hot in the mouth, be careful to burn your mouth."

It was too late when Li Zi'an said this, Li Hongshen had a shredded apple in his mouth, and the outer skin felt abnormally crispy.After he bit it open, the sweet apple flavor exploded in his mouth instantly, and at the same time, the heat inside rushed into his mouth.For a moment, Li Hongshen's eyes were red from being burned.But the sweet taste reverberated in his mouth, making him want to vomit but reluctant.I could only hold it in my mouth with my mouth half open, and kept breathing, and both eyes were a little red.

Seeing this, Li Zian hurriedly handed the bowl of cold water that had just been dipped in shredded apples to Li Hongshen's mouth, and urged anxiously, "Take a sip and put it in your mouth."

After a lot of tossing, the shredded apple in Li Hongshen's mouth was no longer so hot, and he swallowed it with red eyes.Seeing the other party's concerned expression, Li Hongshen reached out to take the bowl handed to his mouth, and thanked Li Zi'an.

Zhao Yang, who was at the side, saw that his young master's eyes were red, so he hurriedly surrounded him.Patting Li Hongshen on the back, he asked anxiously, "My lord, are you alright?"

Looking down and recalling his gaffe just now, Li Hongshen only felt that he had lived for nearly 20 years, and this was the first time he was so ashamed, and it was in front of Li Zian... At this moment, he just wanted to turn back time and return to the fact that all this had never happened... However, seeing that Li Zi'an didn't seem to have the intention of making fun of him, Li Hong's ears were red and he was slowly relieved.

"Is it better?" Li Zian also asked.

"Well, it's all right." Li Hong replied with a deep smile.

At this time, Li Zian looked at Li Hongshen with a smile on his face, his reddish eyes were still full of water, as clear as the sky after the rain, and he couldn't help but feel a throbbing in his heart.Swallowing unnaturally, Li Zi'an clenched his fists and forced himself to look away from the opponent's face, lest he lose control and turn into a wolf and scare the opponent.

For a while, the atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate.Brothers and sisters Zhao Yang and Li Wenshu looked at their uncle and the new brother, and always felt that there seemed to be something weird between them.But he couldn't tell where the specific blame was.The three of them tilted their heads and rubbed their heads together, looking at the two of them in confusion, with question marks in their eyes.

"It's a bit cold now, do you want to try another piece?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Li Zian opened his mouth to divert everyone's attention.Seeing that Li Hongshen nodded in agreement, Fu clipped another piece for Li Hongshen according to the method just now.When the candied apple was handed to Li Hongshen's mouth again, Li Hongshen realized that he could do it himself...

"I, I'll do it myself." Li Hongshen stammered for a while facing Li Zi'an.

"If this kind of thing sticks to the clothes and it's not easy to clean, it's a pity that the clothes are all silk and ruined."

Li Zi'an's argument was so convincing that Li Hongshen didn't know how to refute it for a while.After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth obediently with red ears and eyes, but he was much more careful this time.

Li Zi'an, who was successfully fed, smiled happily like an aunt, and nodded inwardly.

Very well, Li Hongshen didn't reject his intimacy, and it seems that his senses should be pretty good.Does that mean that he is one step closer to getting out of the singles? !Thinking of this, Li Zian looked at Li Hongshen even more enthusiastically.

It was the first time for the two little guys to see this kind of thing, and they were already hungry when they saw Li Hongshen eating it.After my uncle realized that he thought of them, he took a piece together.For a time, the two big and the two young were like a family, and the atmosphere was very happy.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Yang couldn't help but flash the four big characters "family happiness" in his mind. At the same time, for some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart.It feels like my son is being targeted by a hungry wolf...

Immediately, Zhao Yang slapped himself hard.The crisp applause caused all four people to look sideways, and seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, Zhao Yang twitched the corner of his mouth, flicked his empty palm, and said with a dry laugh, "A mosquito is lying on my face. "

It's already summer, and mosquitoes are not uncommon.Hearing Zhao Yang's explanation, the four of them turned their heads away again.

A few people chatted, laughed and ate a plate of shredded apples before they knew it, and it was still early.Seeing that Li Hongshen was quite curious about everything in the yard, he led him around the yard, then locked the door and led a few people out.

"I told you before that the lotus at the entrance of our village is in full bloom. I think you should have seen it before you came."

"Well, it did drive well." Li Hongshen replied with a nod.

There was also a pond of lotus in the yard where he lived before. There were many varieties and it was well taken care of.Li Hongshen liked it when he saw it before, but now, compared with the one in Lijia Village, he only feels that the traces of craftsmen are too obvious, and compared with the lotus pond outside Lijia Village, it is a bit less spiritual.

When the two children reached the pond, they wanted to take off their shoes and go down to play in the water. Luckily, Zhao Yangyang had a good look. Seeing that his son and Li Zian were having a lively conversation, he consciously followed behind the two little guys.

Originally, Li Zi'an was worried about Li Wenshu and brother and sister, fearing that something might happen to them when they were playing in the water.Seeing that Zhao Yang was always behind them, he felt relieved.In my heart, I silently gave Zhao Yang a thumbs up for such a caring behavior, and decided that after successfully catching up with his son, I would give him an extra chicken leg as a reward for every meal!

Li Hongshen turned his head to see the sweat dripping from Li Zian's forehead, so he decided to find a place to rest.Turning around, he saw two stone piers, tall and short, under the shade of a tree next to him, so he walked over.

Sitting on the stone pier, Li Hongshen raised his head and looked at the top of his head. The mottled light and shadow sprinkled on the two of them through the gap, and the green weeping willow branches swayed in the wind, leaving circles of ripples across the water from time to time.The sound of unknown insects came to my ears, and the summer wind wrapped in water vapor and blown away the heat of my body.The two smiled at each other like best friends for many years, and finally turned their heads to cast their eyes on the distant water.

In this atmosphere, Li Hongshen's heart was slowly relieved.Thinking of his purpose of coming here, he turned his head and asked Li Zi'an, "I know you are one of the students who passed the examination of the scholar in this county this year. With your aptitude, you should continue to study, right?"

Li Zi'an propped his hands behind his back, and looked up at the scenery in front of him.Hearing Li Hongshen's question, Li Zian sighed with a smile and nodded.

"Well, my family plans to let me continue my studies. The county school will start teaching in a few days. I have to work harder."

Li Hongshen is also a student, so he naturally knows the difficulty of the imperial examination.I strongly agree with Li Zi'an's "spelling".Just listening to Li Zian's overtones, it seems that he doesn't want to continue reading, and he wants to work hard just to give an explanation to his family.

Thinking about Li Zian's family conditions, Li Hongshen also felt that Li Zian was under a lot of pressure.Because he knew that for an ordinary peasant family, it would take a lot of heart and money to confess a scholar.Li Zi'an managed to pass the first-class scholar exam. If he didn't work hard, he would feel sorry for his family who worked so hard for him...

"Well, just do your best." Li Hongshen nodded and didn't say any more. Remembering that he would go to the county school in a few days, he wanted to tell Li Zi'an, but he just looked at the other party's gaze far away and the faint smile on his mouth. In the end, I still didn't say it.

Li Wenyue and Li Wenshu's cheerful laughter came from a distance, and I saw that Li Wenyue used some method to catch a carp, which was about one foot long and weighed about three catties.The little guy was hugged tightly in his arms, and shouted excitedly at Li Zian.

"Uncle, Uncle, come quickly, I caught a fish."

Li Zi'an smiled and waved to her, got up and came to Li Wenyue's side.He reached out to help her remove a piece of waterweed hanging from her hair, broke off a willow branch and passed it through the fish's gills and hung it on the tree branch.

"This carp is really good. I'll cook braised carp for you when I go back tonight."

Hearing this, the two little guys jumped up happily.The splash of water made Li Zian's face, even Li Hongshen, who was standing two meters away behind him, was not spared. The blue silk shirt was splashed with water droplets everywhere, looking a bit embarrassed.

Li Zian couldn't help but feel apologetic when he saw this, but Li Hongshen didn't care, stretched out his hand to dust off and nodded at Zhao Yang.Zhao Yang, who had never been so relaxed, knew from his son's expression that he was not angry, so he made a face at him and played with Lian Luotou.

Li Hongshen shook his head helplessly, looking at Zhao Yang with doting eyes.

"Your master and servant have a good relationship?"

Hearing Li Zian's question, Li Hongshen nodded.

"Zhao Yang has been by my side since he was a child. I am a few years older than him. Although he is a master and servant, his relationship is the same as that of a brother."

After Li Zian listened to it, he looked at the smiling Zhao Yang, and the other party was his brother-in-law, so he should take more care of him.Looking up at the sun slanting towards the west, Li Zi'an wiped the water from his face and said to Li Hongshen, "Are you staying overnight at my house today?"
