The little man I picked up insists on marrying me

?? "Qi Yuan."

??Little Stone knocked on the door, "Are you home?"

"Here." Qi Yuan ran out to open the door and saw the two brothers Xiao Shitou and Xiao Shanzi, "Come in quickly."

"I brought you books." Xiao Shitou held a stack of books, "School is about to start, are you planning to go to the first grade of junior high school?"

"No." Qi Yuan said, "I just study at home."

??He has finished his primary school textbooks, and now Xiao Shitou is giving him junior high school textbooks, but Qi Yuan may not be able to go to school this year.

??Since Shen Lingyun's father called, there has been no news for more than a month. Qi Yuan and Shen Lingyun can only wait silently.

??It's mid-August, and it's time for school to start soon. Qi Yuan has to continue studying at home.

?? "How nice you want to go to school." Xiao Shanzi said: "I am in the first grade this year, we can be companions."

"Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Shitou patted his younger brother, "Qi Yuan is going to school, and he is also going to junior high school. Didn't he ask for junior high school textbooks?"

?? "I didn't go to the same school as you when I went to junior high school." Xiao Shanzi said unconvinced: "You have already gone to high school."

"Sit down." Qi Yuan put away the textbooks they brought, "I'll cut the watermelon for you."

??Qi Yuan cut open half of the watermelon on the table and took a piece for each of the brothers, "Little Shitou, didn't your father say he would send you to the county town to go to high school?"

"It's so sweet." Little Shitou bit the watermelon and said with a smile, "That's what I said."

??He said: "I can't go to a county high school. It costs a lot and I have to find someone to trust me. My dad is just busy."

??Qi Yuan keenly sensed the meaning behind his words. Maybe Wang Dali couldn't do this. He couldn't help asking: "Isn't your father related?"

?? "Oh!" Xiao Shitou shook his head, sighed and stopped talking.

??He is 15 years old, half a head taller than Qi Yuan, with a sad expression on his swarthy face, as if there is something inconvenient to say.

?? "Our family is going to split up." Xiao Shanzi said, "My brother said he won't go to the county to go to high school."

??He is young. Recently, the two brothers have played well with Qi Yuan, and Xiao Shanzi has not kept Qi Yuan's family affairs from him.

?? "My mother is always lazy and doesn't work." Xiao Shanzi said: "Uncle and the others are not happy. If my brother goes to the county to study, he will spend a lot of money."

"Don't talk about it." Xiao Shitou sighed: "I won't go, brother, I'll let you go in the future."

??Qi Yuan silently bites the watermelon, he can't participate in other people's family affairs, but it's a pity for Xiao Shitou.

?? He is a good person and kind-hearted. If he can go to the county to study, he will definitely be able to enter the university with his hard work.

??At that time, you can stay in the city and have a job, and you won’t go back to the countryside to farm, and you won’t even have enough to eat.

"Actually." Qi Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know if I can go to school."

??He encouraged Xiao Shitou, "No matter what, your father will definitely let you study. As long as you can go to high school, you will have the opportunity to enter university."

"Yeah." Xiao Shitou frowned, finished eating the remaining watermelon, and then said, "I've made up my mind, even if I go to high school in the town, I will study hard to get into college."

?? He nodded affirmatively, "As long as I pass the exam, Xiaoshanzi's going to school won't be so difficult."

"Yeah." Qi Yuan agreed, and handed him another piece of watermelon, "You should be satisfied, even if I want to go to school, there is no one for me to study."

"Uh." Brother Xiaoshitou was taken aback, looked at each other silently, lowered their heads and continued to eat watermelon.

?? In their minds, Qi Yuan has no parents, so he will definitely not be able to go to school, and it would be nice to be able to eat.

?? It's just that nobody mentions it.

?? Now that Qi Yuan said it himself, the two honest children felt a little uneasy, and felt ashamed for bringing up Qi Yuan's sad things.

?? "Actually, you are doing well now." Little Stone Sisiai said, "You are so capable, and you are not burdened. You can support yourself."

"My dad said it." Xiao Shitou's expression was shocked, and he happily told Qi Yuan, "I will definitely give you a ration next year, and it will be fine even if Brother Shen leaves."

??He wanted to say this news just now. He was delayed by his brother's talk about going to school, and now he just used it to comfort Qi Yuan.

"It's fine if you want to study." Little Stone said, "I can teach you, and I can lend you books."

?? "It's just..." He said a little unnaturally: "Maybe I can't get into college."

?? "It's okay, let's eat a full stomach first." Qi Yuan was only sad for a while, and the emotion passed quickly, "It doesn't matter whether you go to school or not."

??…

?? Shen Lingyun came back at night.

??Qi Yuan had already prepared dinner, and after serving the food, Shen Lingyun froze for a moment.

"Let's eat." Qi Yuan said, "I will save some food in the future."

??Tonight, he just steamed a few steamed buns and stirred two bowls of paste. Everything else was simple.

?? A dish of miso, some shallots, coriander, Chinese cabbage... for dipping sauce, nothing else.

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun had no objection, Qi Yuan gave him whatever to eat, but he still told him: "I will cook an egg for myself in the future, you should eat something good when you are young."

?? "What to eat." Qi Yuan frowned, "The vegetables in the vegetable garden are about to be eaten, and they won't last long."

?? It will take some time for autumn vegetables to come down.

"You said?" Qi Yuan still couldn't help asking what was on his mind, "Is it because your father has no money and can't come to pick you up?"

??Shen Lingyun bit the cornbread, looked up at Qi Yuan, and said after swallowing, "I don't know."

??He didn't think about it.

?? "Your family property is not given to your mother." Qi Yuan said: "Your father should have nothing now."

?? He wanted to say: forget about the house, your dad may not even have money now.

?? "The housing unit is divided." Shen Lingyun said: "As for the money issue..."

??He thought for a while and said, "Salary should be paid."

??When Shen Lingyun left the city, he was still young, and he had never come into contact with these things when he arrived here.

?? Some things he is not sure.

"So!" Qi Yuan said quietly, "We still have to find a way to make money."

??He told about Xiao Shitou's incident today. Children with fathers are like this. It may be more difficult for people like him and Shen Lingyun in the future.

?? Qi Yuan didn't hide it, and said his thoughts.

??Shen Lingyun listened silently, with no expression on his face, calm and indifferent as if he didn't hear it.

"Did you listen to me?" Seeing that he was silent, Qi Yuan stretched out his hand and pushed him, "If your father has no money, you should take care of him."

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun nodded.

?? But what is he going to do now?

??Shen Lingyun didn't think it was necessary, he said: "My dad will go back to work when he is rehabilitated."

??It stands to reason that there should be a house and salary, but the world is unpredictable, and Shen Lingyun is not sure.

?? "We sold the watermelons and melons grown in the backyard." Qi Yuan said, "Although there are not many, we can sell some money."

?? He quietly observed Shen Lingyun's expression, and seeing that he didn't respond, he continued: "There are also those mushrooms I picked, we can't eat so many."

"Not for sale." Shen Lingyun waited for him to finish speaking, and directly vetoed it, "Even in cities, watermelons and melons can't be bought just by buying them."

??In the countryside, there are front and rear yards, and private plots. You can grow whatever you want to eat. The city is not so convenient.

?? Fruits and other things are always in short supply, and they are always sold very rarely.

??Shen Lingyun couldn't eat it a few times a year before.

??Shen Lingyun looked at Qi Yuan amusedly. This is a little guy who loves money. The matter of selling these things has been mentioned many times.

??Be rejected by yourself and still not give up.

?? "I haven't eaten watermelon for eight years." Shen Lingyun sighed, "It's hard to grow some this year, let's keep it for ourselves."

"Okay, okay." Qi Yuan hurriedly said, "We'll save it, it's enough for us."

?? "I just want to sell some money, but I don't want to eat." Qi Yuan said, "It's more than three cents, and the two of us can't finish it."

?? After he finished speaking, he ate his head in suspense and didn't mention this matter again.

"We can't finish it?" Shen Lingyun was taken aback, "Not much."

"You have to pick watermelons when they're ripe." Qi Yuan said, "Of course you don't understand since you haven't planted them before."

?? He told Shen Lingyun that there were still two things to do.

??While the watermelon was picked and stored for a short time, the weather is so hot now that it will soon go bad.

?? "I picked more than 20 watermelons today." Qi Yuan said: "There are dozens more that will have to be picked in a few days."

?? "I really can't finish it." Shen Lingyun said: "I really don't understand."

"So we have to sell some." Qi Yuan said, "If you don't listen to me, keep it."

"Who eats and grows so much by itself." Qi Yuan saw that Shen Lingyun was moved, and said with some pride: "Fortunately, I advocate that all the land in the backyard be planted with watermelons and melons, otherwise, where can I sell them for money?"

"Yes." Shen Lingyun glanced at him, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "How much does it cost us to buy a catty of cornmeal? How much can you sell this watermelon for?"

?? "Did you settle the account?" Shen Lingyun asked.

??At that time, he said that he would grow a little and eat it himself. Two or three ridges would be enough, but Qi Yuan insisted on planting more varieties, and canceled the corn he wanted to grow.

?? So he wanted to sell.

"I remember that although the watermelon I ate was hard to buy, it cost eight cents a catty." Shen Lingyun smiled and continued, "I guess it won't cost much now."

"How could it be?" Qi Yuan howled suddenly, "We are not high-ranking officials and nobles, and we can't afford watermelons at all."

??He leaned back and fell on the kang, his eyes were red with anger.

"My father bought me a small piece of cold melon, and it cost only one penny." Qi Yuan murmured, "Why is it so cheap here?"

?? He really wants to cry.

??Spend so much money to buy cornmeal, but the cold melon that he regards as a treasure is not worth much.

?? Qi Yuan also asked Wang Dali to learn how to grow melons, and changed more melon seedlings to plant all the backyard.

"I'm so mad." Qi Yuan patted himself on the head angrily, "Why am I so smart?"

?? From the time Shen Lingyun described the watermelon, he guessed that it might be the cold melon from his own place, and he thought he had got a baby.

??The result is to cheat yourself.

"Get up." Shen Lingyun said helplessly, "I'll just sell it."

"Although the store sells it cheaply, the quantity is small." Shen Lingyun said, "I'll try it in the county town, and ask some family homes of good units. Maybe I can sell it at a good price."

"No need." Qi Yuan said weakly, "If I arrest you, I won't be able to save you."

?? He sat up, his eyes were fierce, and his white and tender face was wrinkled into a bun. "My cornmeal was ruined by the watermelon."

"So." Shen Lingyun smiled while eating, "Don't do anything you're not sure about in the future, speak out what you think, and don't hide it."

?? Qi Yuan's face flushed.

?? At that time, he insisted that he could eat it, and he had never eaten watermelon or melon, so he must eat more varieties.

?? But he hides the heart of selling money.

?? He covered his face, feeling ashamed to see Shen Lingyun, and lay on the kang again unable to get up.

??Shen Lingyun had no choice but to help him up because the child was thin-skinned.

"I'm going to the black market tonight." Shen Lingyun said, "Ask Boss Chen if he wants it. If he has connections, he can sell it."

?? "Don't change the food." Qi Yuan covered his face and did not let go, "We are losing money."

"It's not a loss." Shen Lingyun said: "Things are rare and expensive."

??He said: "We are only in this small place. There are few rich people and no one is willing to pay a high price. If it is in the city, it will definitely sell for a good price."

"But it's not as good as cornmeal." Qi Yuan wailed, "My heart is bleeding because of the loss, and the pain is unbearable."

??Shen Lingyun: "..."

?? He really can't do anything about it, even if Qi Yuan makes a fuss, Shen Lingyun can't do anything.

"You're just worried that my dad won't take you in." Shen Lingyun said, "I can guarantee that if he doesn't let you go, I'll stay. Is that okay?"

?? He kept silent, just wondering why Qi Yuan was making a fuss about making money again today.

?? Now I'm finally sure that he is afraid of his father and his future life problems.

?? "I will look for a job when I go back." Shen Lingyun said, "I will provide you with education and enough food. Don't worry."

?? "I will not abandon you." Shen Lingyun promised: "Really, you believe me, study hard and don't think about anything."

"I, I don't." Qi Yuan denied it flatly, he felt ashamed, "I didn't want to rely on you, I can support myself."

"I know, you are very capable." Shen Lingyun pulled his hand covering his face, seeing his little face flushed with shame, "But you don't know much about this place, and you need someone to help you."

"I am very willing." Shen Lingyun looked serious, and said solemnly: "I know how frightening it is to be alone and unaccompanied in a strange place. I will not let you go through this too."

?? Qi Yuan stared blankly at Shen Lingyun, mist rose from his eyes, his lips moved but he didn't know what to say.

?? "We wait with peace of mind." Shen Lingyun's eyes were gentle, and after looking at Qi Yuan for a moment, he asked softly: "Promise me?"

"Yeah." Qi Yuan nodded, tears streaming down his face, "Actually, I can do it by myself, I'm already familiar with this place."

??He also wanted to say: There are two friends, Xiaoshitou and Xiaoshanzi.

??But Shen Lingyun didn't let him continue, "I can't live without you."

??Shen Lingyun said: "I want to find someone to accompany me, even if I go back to the previous city, it is also unfamiliar to me now."

"Okay." Qi Yuan turned his head to the side, avoiding his sight, "If you let me go, I will go, if not, I will come back."

"Okay." Shen Lingyun chuckled, reaching out to wipe his tears, "I'll listen to you too, I'll go sell watermelons tonight."
