"Cough, cough, cough, cough."

Qiu Xi patted Qi Wensheng on the back, his heart skipped a beat twice, and even Dou'er was so frightened that the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard this shout suddenly, and wept "humming, huh, huh" come out.

This made Qi Wensheng even more angry, he quickly hugged Douer and said "ohhhh, don't cry", he patted Douer's back to coax him, and at the same time he did not forget to roll his eyes The knife was given to the perpetrator a few meters away.

Of course the instigator was Er Niu, he knew he was wrong, he scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly twice.He thought he couldn't be blamed for it all, just now when he saw Qi Wensheng and Qiuxi behaved so intimately in broad daylight, the goodness in his bones came up immediately.

Qiuxi took out a handkerchief from his skirt and wiped Douer's tears. Under Qi Wensheng's comfort, Douer gradually stopped crying, but his small arms were still tightly wrapped around Qi Wensheng's shoulders.This scene came to Er Niu's eyes, making him feel that the two big and one small are all a family.

"Finish the work?" Qi Wensheng looked a little better, and he took the time to ask Er Niu.

Er Niu hurried forward and showed off: "That's natural, and there are things that Er Niu can't do."

Only then did Qiu Xi see that Erniu was still carrying a large bamboo basket on one arm, and just as doubts arose in his heart, he heard Qi Wensheng say again: "Let me put it at home first, and I'll look at it later when I go back. "

Er Niu just felt that he was standing next to this family, why did he feel sour in his heart?Just when Qi Wensheng spoke, he took advantage of the situation and slipped away.

Looking at the figure of Er Niu walking quickly, Qiuxi couldn't help asking curiously: "What kind of work do you ask him to do?"

"Let him collect some eggs and milk for me every day." Qi Wensheng quite liked seeing Qiu Xi ask him this.

Only then did Qiuxi remember what had happened all morning, so she hurriedly asked Qi Wensheng, "How is your business this morning?"

In fact, seeing Qi Wensheng's vigorous walk just now, Qiuxi guessed it in his heart, after all, the steamed milk cake that Qi Wensheng made is really delicious.

"That's great." Qi Wensheng shared his joy with Qiuxi.

When Qiuxi heard this, of course she also became happy.From Qi Wensheng's smiling eyes, Qiuxi could clearly see his own reflection, which caused ripples in his heart.

"It's all the baskets you made that brought me good luck. As soon as I yelled twice in the market, dozens of people immediately gathered around, and the steamed cakes were sold out in no time." Qi Wensheng really felt that Qiuxi was his. Fortunately, of course, this is just his most elementary sweet talk.

This also made Qiuxi jump for joy. He also imagined Qi Wensheng's yelling gesture in the market, thinking that it should be very imposing and interesting.

"By the way, I'll bring you some food." Qi Wensheng handed the beans to Qiuxi to hold, bent down and opened a basket, "You've been waiting for me for a while, and you have to go back and finish cooking later." When is it, I can't let you go hungry."

"No... no need, I won't bother to go back and cook." Qiuxi was embarrassed to always ask for things from Qi Wensheng, but she was flattered in her heart, Qi Wensheng was really thoughtful of him.

Qi Wensheng took out a white cloth package and a bulging oil-paper package from the basket. Originally, there were a few pieces of jujube cake he bought for Qiuxi, and a pound of cooked beef.If he hadn't met Qiu Xi at this moment, he would also send Qiu Xi there in the afternoon.

"You made a basket for me, and I haven't even thanked you properly." Qi Wensheng stuffed the food into Qiuxi's arms, and if he was afraid that Qiuxi would be embarrassed, he took Qiuxi home directly Went to eat.

It was not easy for Qiu Xi to refuse, he felt that the two packs of food were not light, and said quickly: "Then I can't eat so much, you should take some back and eat with auntie."

"This is what I bought for you, and there are more for my mother." Qi Wensheng said, and lifted the lid of another basket for Qiuxi to see.

Seeing that there was indeed a lot of food in it, Qiuxi didn't say any more words of refusal.Besides, when Qi Wensheng said that it was specially bought for him, Qiuxi was very happy and wanted to accept it.

"Then go back quickly."

"Then go back quickly."

In the two identical sentences, Qiuxi said the first word before Qi Wensheng, but at the end of the sentence, the two people stopped at the same time.

Immediately, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Qi Wensheng suddenly discovered that there was a small dimple on Qiu Xi's right cheek.But it's no wonder he didn't see it before, I think this is the first time Qiuxi smiled at him.

Seeing Qi Wensheng staring at her as if in a daze, Qiuxi lowered her eyes in embarrassment, feeling the sudden heat on her face spread to her whole body.

Qi Wensheng didn't expect that Qiuxi's smile was so good-looking, he almost blurted out "you should smile more in the future", but then he thought again, he wanted to monopolize Qiuxi's smile which is as sweet as Douer's smile of.

"Go back, I'll look at you." Qi Wensheng patted Dou'er's head, and when he had a chance in the future, he would teach Dou'er to speak, and he had already thought about what to teach first.

"Hmm." Qiuxi was a little bit reluctant.

After that, Lu Qiuxi walked up the mountain very quickly. He knew that Qi Wensheng would lose sight of him when he entered a forest in front of him.Qi Wensheng left the house so early today, he must be tired after this trip, Qiu Xi wanted him to go back and rest quickly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Qiuxi walked into a dense forest. He looked back under the shade of a tree, and sure enough, he saw Qi Wensheng turned and left just now.

This time it was Qiuxi who watched Qi Wensheng, until after Qi Wensheng walked a long distance, his figure turned into a path between several houses.

Qiu Xi retracted his gaze, and then looked down at the two packages in front of him. In fact, he had already smelled the smell of sweet pastry and the smell of cooked meat with a strong sauce fragrance, which hooked Qiu Xi's stomach. All the gluttons in the room are making a fuss.

It's not that he's not promising, it's just that he hasn't eaten meat for a long time, except for the bacon that Qi Wensheng sent him a while ago.

Qiuxi thinks that Qi Wensheng is such a good person and takes good care of him, it is really hard for him not to be tempted.

On the other side, as soon as Qi Wensheng entered the gate, Er Niu greeted him with half a cucumber in his mouth.

"Come, come, take a break." Er Niu stepped forward to take the pole from Qi Wensheng's shoulder.

At this point, Qi Wensheng was really tired, so he handed over the shoulder pole to Er Niu.

Er Niu saw that Qi Wensheng was carrying a shoulder pole, and the two steps he walked were quite energetic, so he also wanted to learn a few times.It's just that he just put the pole on his shoulders, and he didn't realize that the basket was empty in the front and heavy in the back. The two cows raised the pole without controlling it properly, and threw the basket in front out.

"Hey hey!" The cucumber in Er Niu's mouth also dropped, and he immediately held the pole with one hand in panic, and reached forward with the other to reach the basket.

Fortunately, Qi Wensheng reacted quickly, he had just walked away two steps, when he heard the movement, he turned around and firmly hugged the basket that was about to fall.

"Just say you can't do anything." Qi Wensheng glanced at Er Niu dissatisfied, and carefully put the basket on the ground.

"Hehe, I haven't picked this thing for a long time, my hands are so raw." Er Niu put down another basket, he knew it was Qi Wensheng's precious pimple, and thought he would not touch it in the future.

Qi Wensheng sat down on the stool, and on the table in front of him was a bamboo basket brought by Er Niu. He lifted the blue cloth towel covering it, and saw that it was full of big native eggs.

"Well, it seems that I have to take back what I just said, you still have some strengths." Qi Wensheng was very satisfied with the basket of eggs.

"That's right." Er Niu picked up the cucumber that fell on the ground, rubbed it on his body, and took a bite. "I know how many chickens and how many cows there are in this village."

"Can you finish eating before talking?" Qi Wensheng frowned and shook his arm, on which there was a cucumber seed that Er Niu sprayed out when he spoke.

"It's just you who have a lot of things to do." Erniu turned sideways unhappily, continuing to chew cucumbers in his mouth and muttering, "I don't know why Qiuxi likes you?"

Qi Wensheng was exhausted and too lazy to listen to Er Niu's nonsense, so he took out a small string of copper coins from his sleeve and patted Er Niu's arm.When he came back to rest in the woods just now, he sorted out the large pile of scattered copper coins.

Er Niu took the copper coins and asked nonchalantly, "Why? You haven't used up what you gave earlier."

"This is your reward." Qi Wensheng didn't intend to use Er Niu for nothing.

"What?" Er Niu's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it.

"You take it first, wait for me to add up the total, and then you will collect eggs and milk for me, and I will pay you on a monthly basis." Through these two contacts with Er Niu, Qi Wensheng is quite at ease about his behavior.

Er Niu was delighted, "Hey hey, how can I, Er Niu, do such a good job? Qi Wensheng, don't be kidding me!"

Qi Wensheng laughed, "I don't have that free time to spend money to amuse you, come on, go back quickly, don't forget to bring me the milk tonight."

"Don't worry, I won't forget." Er Niu stuffed the copper coins into his arms, happily clasped his hands behind his back, hummed a little tune and left.

"Wen Sheng, are you back?" Mrs. Liu asked in the room.

"Well, mother, I'm back." Qi Wensheng entered the room and told Liu Shi about his good start for the day. Liu Shi was naturally happy and quickly held back his tears.

After the mother and son had eaten, Qi Wensheng stretched out on the bed and slept until the sun went down.

In the evening, Er Niu reliably delivered two more jars of milk, and Qi Wensheng worked hard, making sixty steamed cakes before midnight.

On the next day, Qi Wensheng's business was still booming, but what made him feel depressed was that when he returned to the village excitedly, why didn't Qiuxi wait for his return?
