Lucky husband

The Li family still went there to watch the game in the afternoon, but because without Bai Zhiwen and the others participating in the game, the big guy didn't deliberately take up a good seat, and went a little later and found a random seat to sit and watch.

The four rounds of competition on the first day were regarded as the preliminary round. Seven teams were selected from the [-] teams in seven groups, and these seven teams would then compete on the second day.

The second day's match had an odd number of teams, and one team had a bye, which happened to be the Fule State team that was the opposite team from Hong Yunzhou yesterday.

On the third day, there were only four teams remaining.

On the fourth day, only two teams remained to compete for the top spot in this year's Cuju competition. It is said that the lottery is a work of Mr. Yu Zhong, a famous calligraphy and painting master in this dynasty.

Everyone in the academy knows that Wan Rongtong admires Mr. Yu Zhong the most, and he is bound to win the title of his opponent.

The result was indeed as everyone expected, and the Fule state team that Wan Rongtong belonged to won the first place.

After watching the Cuju competition, everyone in the Li family should return to the county seat, and the Chinese New Year will be in half a month, and every household should go back to get busy.

During this time, everyone took good care of Li Mingjin and Bai Zhiwen, and asked them to sit next to each other several times when watching the game.

Although Jiang Zhiyun and Li Mingde had some complaints about this, they thought it was better to put people under their noses than to meet in private when everyone didn't know or where they didn't know.

It was rare to spend such a long time with Brother Jin at close range, and Bai Zhiwen was very happy every day, but he also knew that such a life would not last forever unless he married Brother Jin into the family.

Before the Li family was about to leave, Bai Zhiwen went to the inn to find Li Mingjin: "Brother Jin, it will take about three or four days for you to return to the county by waterway. These are the famous dried apricots in Fucheng. They are not eaten like sour plums." Then you'll lose your teeth, and you'll eat to keep your boredom away while you're on the boat."

On the way to Fucheng, Li Mingjin was a little seasick, and she survived by eating sour plums all the way. During the first two days of eating in Fucheng, her teeth were so soft that she couldn't chew the food.

Li Mingjin didn't pretentiously refuse, he took it generously: "Thank you, Brother Bai."

After accepting the dried apricots, Li Mingjin asked, "Brother Bai, did you not get seasick when you and my brother were on the boat?"

Bai Zhiwen told the truth: "At first, I felt a little uncomfortable, but I got used to it quickly. We are men, and our bodies are better."

The main reason is that they exercise their bodies on weekdays. Whether it is studying or taking the imperial examination, it is a physical activity.

Reading, you have to study hard in front of the desk in the hot summer and cold winter. Weak scholars who are too poor, fall down when the wind blows, and have no strength to restrain the chicken are unlikely to persist.

For the two of them, being a boat wasn't hard, it was just a test. If they couldn't hold on to this hardship, how could they answer the questions quietly in the test booth in the cold or hot weather.

Li Mingjin naturally knew that Bai Zhiwen and his eldest brother were not frail scholars. From the demeanor of the two of them in the Cuju competition, it could be seen that although they lost, they were all powerful people who could kick the ball into the frame .

After asking this question, Li Mingjin didn't have anything to say. He looked at Bai Zhiwen and asked if he had anything else to say. If it was all right, he went back to pack his luggage.

Bai Zhiwen was reluctant, seeing Li Mingjin's unrestrained appearance felt a little uncomfortable, although he knew that the other party cared about him, but seeing him like this, it seemed that it didn't matter if they separated.

Looking at each other without words, Li Mingjin didn't understand Bai Zhiwen's emotions, but he could see that he was aggrieved, so he snickered in his heart, and stretched out his left hand that had been hidden behind his back.

I saw a blue tassel lying quietly on Li Mingjin's hand. It looks a bit like a concentric knot, but it's not the same. It's a fan pendant.

"I made it casually, and I think this color suits you quite well. Although you don't need a fan in this cold weather, you can use it in summer." After Li Mingjin finished speaking, regardless of whether Bai Zhiwen liked it or not, he forcefully stuffed the thing in He was ready to go.

Every time Li Mingjin gave something to Bai Zhiwen, Li Mingjin seemed to be like this, running away as soon as the thing was given out, waiting to see the expression of the person who received the things in embarrassment.

Forget about the purse before, Bai Zhiwen didn't intend to let Li Mingjin "get away with it" this time, he grabbed Li Mingjin's wrist quickly with his eyes and hands, and held back to prevent Li Mingjin from running out like this.

Bai Zhiwen looked directly into Li Mingjin's eyes, and said seriously: "Brother Jin, I like the purse you gave me earlier and today's tassels very much, and I will take good care of them."

Bai Zhiwen knew that it was embarrassing for Li Mingjin to run away after delivering the things, or he might also be worried that he would not like these little things, so he wanted to express his position in front of Brother Jin and let Brother Jin know what he thought.

After finishing speaking, Bai Zhiwen gave Li Mingjin a big smile, which contained a lot of meaning.

This time, Li Mingjin saw joy, annoyance, anxiety, reluctance...

"You..." Li Mingjin looked up at Bai Zhiwen, "As long as you like it, I'm leaving."

Bai Zhiwen didn't hold Li Mingjin any longer, and let Li Mingjin go after nodding his head.

Indeed, as Bai Zhiwen thought, Li Mingjin was somewhat uncertain before, but after Bai Zhiwen said this, his anxiety disappeared, and his steps of leaving were much lighter.

Li Mingjin went back to the room, holding a small jar of dried apricots, he was a bit hesitant about whether to share it with everyone, mainly because the amount of dried apricots was a bit small, and if they were divided, everyone would not be able to eat two.

In fact, Bai Zhiwen also wanted to buy more, but the dried apricots in Fucheng were really in short supply. It took him a lot of effort to get such a small can. Although the quantity was a little too small, he thought that Li Mingjin was on the boat The crime to be suffered was still sent over.

After sweetly complaining to Bai Zhiwen in the room, Li Mingjin put this small jar of dried apricots in his personal luggage, and didn't plan to share it with everyone. Anyway, because he is a brother, he lived alone the whole time. It's a cabin, as long as you don't be seen by others when you eat, you're fine.

After putting away the dried apricots, Li Mingjin felt a little more guilty. Someone was taking special care of him, making him always feel as if he had done something bad, and he was a little ashamed.

The Li family members were packing their things at this time, no one came to Li Mingjin's side to join in the fun, and gave him time to adjust his state. After a while, he finally suppressed the enthusiasm on his face.

The Cuju competition ended in the morning, and the Li family was about to set off by boat in the afternoon. The time was urgent. After packing up, they didn’t sit down for lunch. Everyone ate some dry food buns, and hurriedly moved their luggage to the waiting room outside the inn. The bullock cart is on, ending this trip to Fucheng.

Li Mingde, his wife, and Bai Zhiwen had to wait another half a month before returning to Changping County, so they said goodbye reluctantly when they arrived at the pier.

It is difficult to say goodbye when we get together, no matter how reluctant we are, we have to separate when we sail.

Bai Zhiwen took a deep look at Li Mingjin who was standing on the deck, and Li Mingjin happened to be looking at him at that time, and they looked at each other for a moment.

After they had more chances to get along during this period, Li Mingjin was no longer as awkward as before, and smiled at Bai Zhiwen openly: "Brother Bai, see you in the New Year."

Bai Zhiwen also smiled: "Brother Jin, see you in the Chinese New Year."

Thinking of the bunch of gadgets that Li Mingjin had put in his place, Bai Zhiwen made a gesture to help carry things, Li Mingjin immediately understood what he meant, and his eyes lit up.

This was a little secret belonging to the two of them. Jiang Zhiyun could see what they were playing, but she didn't know what they were talking about, so she sighed in her heart, not letting it go.

Li Mingde, who was on the side, was worried about the big family taking the boat, and was pulling his father and insisting, not noticing the interaction between Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingjin beside him.

The time for the ship to dock at the dock is limited. After the goods to be loaded are also loaded on the ship, the final parting is finally ushered in.

Reluctance and discomfort fermented in Li Mingjin's heart little by little, staining his eyes reddish and his nose sour from the smoke. He stayed on the deck and kept looking at the pier, seeing Bai Zhiwen there as well. Standing straight like a green pine.

This is the first time, Li Mingjin had the idea that two years is too long, his father and mother and brother Bai set their wedding date in early winter two years later, he thought, in these two years, they will still experience How many times have we parted like this...

Li Mingjin's mind was a little slow, he felt that these things he was thinking were a bit dangerous, was he still the one who didn't want to marry?

It wasn't until the boat was far away that the wharf of Jintai Fucheng could not be seen at all, Li Mingjin returned to the cabin with a calm expression, found the can of dried plums in his luggage, took out a plum and put it in his mouth.

The sweet and sour taste seemed to spread from the tip of the tongue to the heart at once. Li Mingjin felt that his heart was sore and soft. Could this be the expression of liking that the fourth sister and cousin said?

After eating two more dried apricots, Li Mingjin felt that he had no symptoms of seasickness for the time being, so he put the jar away carefully.

When I went back, the wind was not so smooth. I set off in the afternoon and arrived in Changping County in the morning of the fourth day.

On the return journey, because everyone had experience of taking a boat once, they were not as embarrassed as last time, and they were still in good spirits when they arrived at the county pier.

It may also be because everyone has been away from home for nearly 20 days this time, and everyone is eager to go home. They want to go back home to rest quickly, and they don't care so much about physical discomfort.

Li Mingkang saw Li Chengshi who was waiting for them on the pier, and after getting off the boat, he threw himself into Li Chengshi's arms, chirping with Li Chengshi about what he had seen and heard during the trip.

After all, Sanfang moved to the county seat when Li Mingkang was over three years old. From childhood to this age, in his memory, he hasn't seen his father for so many days, and he misses him so much.
