Reborn Little Carpenter

To give gifts to his uncle's house during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qi Yue, his nephew, should naturally send them. He was worried that he would not be able to find a place, but Qi Yougen went there by himself the next day, without mentioning Qi Yue at all.

Qi Yue paused as he wiped his face: "Am I getting up late?"

"No," Liu Fang was scooping water in the kitchen: "It was your father who went there before, and you can come back before lunch in the morning."

Qi Yue didn't know where his uncle's house was, but if he could walk back and forth in one morning, it shouldn't be far away, but he had been here for more than half a year, and no one asked him to visit his uncle's house.

It's fine if he was a fool before, but now he's sober, wait a minute, when he was sick, there didn't seem to be anyone there, is there any contradiction?

Qi Yue was an orphan before, and had no contact with relatives at all, so he didn't pay much attention to this aspect. Now that he thinks about it carefully, something is really wrong.

Qi Yue glanced at the kitchen, and asked tentatively, "I don't need to visit my uncle's house?"

"No need." Liu Fang replied very simply, but did not explain the reason.

Well, I won’t go if I don’t go, I don’t know them anyway, Qi Yue poured out the water in the wooden basin, took the basin back to the yard, then went into the carpentry workshop, and found two mooncake molds.

Mooncakes are supposed to be eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although there is no wheat in this place, there are glutinous rice and rice. Before that, Qiyue went to the mill to grind some flour, and even carved the molds himself. He wanted to see if he could make some rice mooncakes.

Originally, I thought I would have to wait for the gift to come back before I had the chance to try it, but now that it’s done, I can try it a few more times.

Of course he didn't try, after Qi Yue found out everything, he ran into the room to harass Wu Xiaoxi.

Wu Xiaoxi was woken up by pinching his nose, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Qi Yue squatting beside the bed and looking at him with a smile.

"Xiao Yue," Wu Xiaoxi called him, tilted his head and closed his eyes.

Qi Yue waited at the side, Wu Xiaoxi finally woke up after a while, and opened his eyes again: "Woo, it's time to get up."

Qi Yue reached out to pick him up and helped him put on his clothes and shoes. Wu Xiaoxi clung to him in a daze the whole time, and yawned big.

Qi Yue stretched out his hand and pinched his nose: "Little lazy pig, wake up."

"Huh...huh?" Wu Xiaoxi suddenly remembered something: "Didn't you go to uncle's house today?"

"Mother said I don't need to go."

Wu Xiaoxi nodded, Qi Yue saw that he seemed to know something, and asked curiously, "Have I been to my uncle's house before?"

Wu Xiaoxi shook his head: "No."

Qi Yue: "Not once?"

Wu Xiaoxi woke up a little bit, and nodded affirmatively: "I heard that you seem to be in some kind of grandma's prison, and you can't go to grandpa's house."

Qi Yue was at a loss: "What grandma's pass?"

Wu Xiaoxi thought for a while: "It means that if you go to grandpa's house, you will get sick."

Qi Yue expressed disbelief: "Then there is such a thing?"

Wu Xiaoxi said firmly: "Yes." He looked out, lowered his voice and said, "Before, your two elder brothers didn't stand still. Later, Dad met a wandering warlock and said that it was because of breaking the law of grandma, but parents I didn't know before, I took them to grandpa's house, so I didn't stand still, it happened that mother was pregnant with you at that time, "

Seeing Qi became more unbelievable, Wu Xiaoxi said another thing: "You were named by that wandering warlock. This name can prevent you from being noticed by the people below. Only after their detection can you grow up. And he said that you have a calamity, misfortune and good fortune depend on each other, if you pass it, it will be a blessing, if you don't pass it, it will be a disaster, he said that you are also guilty of your mother's fault."

Qi Yue doesn't believe this, he thinks what the wandering warlocks say sounds good, probably like those fortune tellers in the modern society who use the banner of mystery and mystery, close their eyes and pinch their fingers, and open their mouths to say some vague and suggestive words , Say when you will get rich and when you will be unlucky, but don't say it to death, because they can get it back at any time.

It’s like he told you that there will be some minor disasters this year, and then you get sick, lose money, or bump into someone with your car, you will feel, oh, the fortune teller said that I will have disasters this year, and there really are.

But in fact, good and bad things may happen every day, but he gave you a hint, let you sum up the bad things, and named it a small disaster, which deepened the impression.

The wandering warlock said that Qiyue had a calamity, and if he fell into the river and almost died of a fever, it was a calamity, then he was indeed right.

But now it's hard to say whether it's over or not, after all, even the person has been changed, it's not over for the fool Qiyue, but it's over for the carpenter Qiyue.

Wu Xiaoxi said that this is to prove the ability of wandering warlocks, but Qi Yue doesn't believe it. Even when faced with such a strange thing of time travel, he is more willing to use parallel time and space, parallel universe, and multiverse to explain it.

He pinched Qi Yue's ears: "Then I'll just obey him obediently and not run to my uncle's house. Didn't he say to make moon cakes? I've got everything ready."

"It's the round cake that looks like the moon you mentioned?" Wu Xiaoxi didn't move Qiyue why he couldn't forget the moon cake, but since he wanted it, he just made it: "How to do it?"

Qi Yue shrugged: "I only know the appearance, it's up to you and your mother how to do it."

It's a pity that adding water to rice flour and glutinous rice flour can't make a dough at all. When it is pressed into a mold, it will be broken into slag. It came out in a mess again.

Liu Fang scraped out the lump that was stuck in the mold, took a bite and tasted it: "Ugly is a bit ugly, it tastes soft and chewy, but the taste is not bad, a bit like the rice paste you ate when you were young. "

Qi Yue did an emotionless fire-burning job the whole time, and sighed after hearing this: "But it's not the mooncake I want."

Wu Xiaoxi, who was washing the mould, pinched a little rice ball left on the mould, "Why don't you squeeze it back when it's cold? It doesn't seem so sticky after it's cold."

Liu Fang took it over and looked at it: "It is indeed a method."

The fire in the stove was booming, and the water in the pot was still steaming, Qi Yue said: "Then take out the glutinous rice soaked yesterday and steam it first, we can't waste the firewood in vain."

Liu Fang stirred the glutinous rice soaked in the wooden basin with her hands: "So much? Eating too much glutinous rice will swell your stomach."

"It's okay, I'll use it to make glutinous rice cakes." Qi Yue was eager to try.

"Okay." Liu Fang took out the steamer and drawer cloth, washed them and put them in the pot, scooped out the glutinous rice soaked in the wooden basin, and covered the pot.

"Auntie, Auntie, what are you doing at home?" A young woman's voice came from outside.

Liu Fang listened for a while, "It's your sisters Juaner and Nier who are back."

Liu Fang wiped her hands, and said loudly, "Here it is."

The three of them stopped what they were doing and came out of the kitchen. When they went out, they saw two women walking in with two children, who should be his second cousin's cousin and nephew.

Liu Fang hurriedly invited them into the main room to do it, and then introduced someone to Qi Yue.

The woman with the older child is his second cousin, Qi Juan, with long hair tied into a ponytail with a rope at the back. She looks more capable. She is accompanied by his nephew Wu Hongfei, who is nine years old this year and has a pair of lively eyes. , Twirling around.

The one with the child was his third cousin, Qi Ni, with short shoulder-length hair and a round face, holding a four-year-old child named Wu Bonong in her arms.

Qi Yue recognized the people one by one, and stuffed a red paper bag into each of the two nephews.

Qi Juan said: "It's not Chinese New Year, what are you doing for him?"

"Sure, I've been dazed all these years and don't remember anything. As an uncle, I don't say anything. It's the first meeting gift." This was mentioned by Liu Fang last night. In the past, his cousins ​​had given New Year's money to nephews during the Chinese New Year. , The meeting ceremony was also given, only Qi Yue didn't.

Qi Juan looked at him: "Are you really awake?"

Qi Yue nodded.

Qi Juan patted her son's head with a smile: "Take it, thank you uncle."

Qi Ni also said: "That's a great thing, Xiaobao, I'm going to accept my uncle's red envelope to be happy."

Wu Hongfei couldn't wait to reach out to take it, stuffed it into his arms, and showed a big toothless smile to Qiyue: "Thank you, uncle."

When Wu Bonong saw that his brother had accepted it, he also extended his small hand to take it, and said obediently, "Thank you, uncle."

"good."

A few people were sitting in the main room chatting, and after a while, a man wearing a linen shirt and holding a boxer walked in. He was thin, with blue eyes, and looked like he had been hollowed out by wine.

Qi Yue frowned, this person came in with a gift, probably a relative of his family, and sure enough, he heard that man call Liu Fang: "Auntie."

Qi Juan, Qi Ni and their two children were also called "big brother-in-law" and "big uncle."

The identity of the visitor is obvious.

Liu Fang looked behind him: "Jiabao, Yuan'er and Wenhao are not here?"

Zheng Jiabao squinted his eyes: "Yuan'er is sick, Wen Hao takes care of him at home."

Liu Fang worried and asked: "Is it seriously ill?" "It's not a big deal," Liu Jiabao said, "Some old ailments brought about by the confinement period. When I woke up in the morning, I said she was dizzy, so I let her rest at home."

Liu Fang said: "It is true that you should rest more, and let her pay more attention to keeping warm when you go back. I still have a little brown sugar at home. You can bring some back to Yuan'er later."

Zheng Jiabao said: "Why is this so embarrassing?"

Liu Fang pretended to be annoyed and said, "I don't feel embarrassed about giving it to my niece. It's settled like this. Don't forget it when you leave."

Liu Fang turned to Qi Juan and Qi Ni and said, "When you both leave, each of you will take some."

Qi Juan and Qi Ni laughed and said, "Then thank you, auntie."

Zheng Jiabao looked at Qi Yue, who smiled at him.

Zheng Jiabao narrowed his eyes: "You are?"

Qi Yue was taken aback, he didn't expect that Zheng Jiabao didn't even know him, not that he was a famous person, everyone should know him, but isn't Zheng Jiabao his eldest brother-in-law?

Wu Hongcai on the side looked at Zheng Jiabao strangely: "Uncle, you are confused, this is uncle."

Hearing this, Zheng Jiabao stretched out his hand and patted Wu Hongcai's arm: "Go, how do you talk, kid?"

Wu Hongcai rubbed his beaten arm and said aggrievedly, "It hurts so much."

Qi Yue looked at the way Wu Hongcai bared his teeth, and knew that Zheng Jiabao's slap was indeed ruthless. Although his cousins ​​often slapped his cousins ​​and nephews when they were having fun, it was because Xi Wu didn't have any The importance of each, and those little brats may have exaggerated a little bit, you must know that they were able to beat both of them by themselves before.

Qi·civilian·yue once again shed the flowing water of remorse.

But Qi Yue looked at Zheng Jiabao's action just now, it didn't look like a joke, more like he was really angry and swung his arms round.

Qi Yue put away his expression, if that's the case, his big brother-in-law is a little too petty, just because of the child's unintentional words?

This is Zheng Jiabao saying to Qi Yue: "So it's my younger brother, you've changed so much, brother-in-law didn't recognize it for a while, you won't blame brother-in-law, right?" What he said, it seemed that Qi Yue blamed him, but Qi Yue made trouble for no reason.

Qi Yue remained expressionless: "Of course not, brother-in-law, sit down, I'll go and see the fire in the pot." After saying that, he left the main room.

Qi Yue went to the kitchen, stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove, and then sat in front of the stove.
