With a brain-loving husband [travel]

Du Zunsu's eyes were red and cloudy, full of sadness.

Unexpectedly, it would be such a result, Gu Cheng also turned dark, and without saying a word, let the wooden chopsticks hit his chest, and then fell to the ground with a "bang".

The atmosphere instantly turned into silence.

This silent confrontation ended with Du Zunsu getting up and leaving angrily. Before leaving, he had not forgotten his business and agreed to Fang Xiao's request to enter the assessment.

After Du Zunsu left, Gu Cheng stared blankly at the piece of Starry Sky Cake that he hadn't finished eating, with confusion and helplessness that had never been revealed in his eyes.

Just now, Xiaotuanzi was also taken aback, but seeing Gu Cheng's dazed expression, he put his hand on his palm and put his face on it, "Grandpa Gu, don't be sad."

Xiaotuanzi is not very good at coaxing people, he can only say one or two simple words of comfort, but he is very serious.

Hearing the call, Gu Cheng also came back to his senses, bent down and hugged Fang Xiao to let him sit down, and forced himself to say: "I'm fine. The assessment will be a bit strict, and Xiao'er will have to work harder to get in, you know?"

The entrance examination of Lutai Academy is usually scheduled at the time of planting in spring, which means that studies are as full of vitality as seeds.

Fang Xiao nodded seriously, and replied softly, "Xiao'er will not cause trouble for my brother and brother-in-law."

It just so happened that Fang Yun came out of the kitchen. Hearing Fang Xiao's words, he couldn't help but smile slightly.But soon he sensed the depression of the atmosphere, walked to Mo Jingcheng's side, raised his eyes to ask.

Just now he was making other cakes in the kitchen, he didn't see what happened, he just felt that it was very noisy outside.

Sensing his gaze, Mo Jingcheng put his hand on his head and rubbed it, hiding everything that happened just now, and only told him that Du Zunsu agreed to Fang Xiao's entry into the assessment.

Fang Yun immediately became happy, and didn't ask any more questions, but his starry eyes sparkled.

At this time, the boys who had witnessed the whole process also recovered, and stopped talking about what happened just now, and lowered their heads to consciously do their own work.

A young servant tactfully brought Fang Xiao over and took him downstairs to play.

Mo Jing also left with Fang Yun after a few words, and went to the house to see the remaining Moju.

No one bothered Gu Cheng who had a bad face, and Gu Cheng also looked at the scenery outside the window, didn't make a sound or leave, just stayed alone quietly.

In an instant, Gu Cheng was the only one left on the second floor.

Fortunately, there were not many diners today, when Du Zunsu came up, there were only one or two diners left.

And those young brothers who hadn't left the cabinet, when they saw so many men coming up suddenly, they all realized that something was wrong, and they didn't conform to the etiquette taught by their parents, so they left in a hurry.

Not long after the New Year's Eve, everything is still a festive scene.The lanterns are still hanging high, and passers-by are still wearing new clothes.

Everyone on the street had smiles on their faces, and no one saw that amidst the noise, there was a person on top of the restaurants and pavilions watching their smiles fascinated.

In the beginning of spring, people in the town took off their cotton coats and put on gowns one after another, but the Mofang Pavilion was still a lively scene.

The boys are getting more and more familiar with their hands, and they are already able to make pastries or sour soup ingredients by themselves.Although the taste is not as good as Fang Yun's, it can still be praised by diners if you exercise more.

Today Xu Tang was ill, so the sour soup and spices provided were not enough, so Mo Jingcheng closed the Mofang Pavilion early, took Fang Yun to Taohua Village to visit Xu Tang, and picked some spices by the way.

Xu Tang was in a bad situation and couldn't afford new clothes, so he changed his thicker clothes into those worn by his little brother Sirui. Recently, it happened to be cold in spring, so he caught a cold and developed a fever.

Even so, I still insisted on going to the field to take care of the spices, and the result became more and more serious, and I didn't give up until today when I was exhausted.

"I'm sorry shopkeeper Mo, I promised to provide you with spices, but I didn't do it well." Xu Tang leaned against the bed rail and said helplessly.

He was very ill and was so weak that he had difficulty even getting up.But when Mo Jingcheng and Fang Yun came to visit him in person, he was very grateful, and stood up to greet him.

Even so, his pale lips and drowsy eyes revealed his sickness.

The little brother Sirui who was standing beside him saw his father suffering so much, and was afraid that Mo Jingcheng would blame his father, so he looked at Mo Fang and Mo Fang with red eyes.

"Don't blame Dad, it's my fault, it was Siri who took Dad's clothes away and caused Dad to catch a cold."

As he spoke, Xu cried out softly because he was too worried.And because he had seen Mo Jingcheng lose control, he immediately mumbled and covered his mouth, his eyes widened in horror.

Xu Tang patted the back of his head lightly with anger and laughter, and scolded: "What are you talking about, kid, don't take the responsibility on yourself."

With such a light pat, Siri cried even harder, and his big eyes immediately filled with tears.But she just refused to cry out, and tightly covered her mouth with her small hand.

Seeing that pitiful appearance, Fang Yun was very distressed, bent down and wiped his tears for him, and comforted him: "We don't blame Siri's father. Siri is good, let's not cry. Wait Will I take you and brother Fang Xiao to pick fruit later?"

The so-called fruits are actually spices, but Fang Yun was worried that he would blame himself if Siri heard about it, so he only talked about fruits.

Mo Jingcheng glanced at Fang Yun, but did not expose him.

Hearing this, Fang Xiao immediately stood up knowingly, took Siri's hand, "Then I'll take Siri out to play first."

That serious look looks like he is protecting his younger brother.

Before departure, Xiao also pestered him to come, saying that he had made an appointment with Siri to play together.Seeing this scene at this time, he acted like a big brother again, very conscientious.

Unexpectedly, Siri, who has always been very well-behaved, broke away from his hand, returned to the bed, looked at his father, and then looked at Fang Xiao apologetically with tears in his eyes.

"Si Rui wants to take care of Dad at home. Dad is sick." Nuo Nuo's milk voice was still crying, and Xu Tang's heart almost melted when he heard it.

But Xu Tang still rubbed his little head, and coaxed him with some strength: "Sirui is good, go and help Dad pick some fruits back, okay? Sirui can help Dad a lot."

Although he felt sad and wanted to refuse, but seeing his father's expression was very uncomfortable, Siri had no choice but to nod with tears in his eyes, and agreed.

Seeing that Sirui was willing to go out for a walk, Xu Tang smiled slightly.

Since his illness, little Siri has helped him even more.He always wakes up before dawn to boil water. On weekdays, he also carries a small hoe to the field to weed weeds, and sometimes goes up the mountain alone to gather some herbs for him without telling him.

Because Siri's father was a herb farmer in the past, Siri also knows some herbs that can relieve some symptoms of cold and heat.

Sometimes Xu Tang would feel very sad when he saw it.

Their family, Sirui, should play and fly kites with their peers. They can go up the mountain to catch sparrows and pheasants, and even run all over the mountain.But the little Siri didn't have any friends to play around with. Instead, he knew about his family situation early on and helped him like a little adult.

Because he was a brother who lost his father early, and was often bullied by the children in the village and came back with injuries all over his body, but he never complained, and always endured it silently.

He was so obedient as if those things were what he should bear.

But no matter how sensible he is, he is still just a child. Occasionally, Xu Tang would see Siri staring at the kite in the sky in a daze.But his Siri never capriciously proposed to play or something like that.

Therefore, when Fang Yun said that he would take his family Sirui up the mountain to pick fruits, he was very happy, thinking that his family Sirui finally had friends to play with.

Although somewhat reluctant, Siri was finally coaxed away.Before going, he looked back at his father with three steps and two turns, with tears in his eyes.

Watching the door slowly close, Xu Tang put his hand on his forehead wearily, and slowly slid down.

Fang Xiao had nothing to worry about, so he ran to the front. When he came across a branch by chance, he picked it up and handed it to the listless Sirui.

When Sirui had no less than ten branches in his hands, Fang Xiao stopped and coaxed worriedly: "Siri, don't you like to come out and play?"

Hearing this, Siri's eyes turned red immediately, and he stopped, fearing that the other party would be unhappy, so he just bowed his head and refused to make a sound.

At this time, Mo Jingcheng and Fang Yun, who were behind, also caught up. Seeing that the two small groups stopped, Sirui's small shoulders were still shrugging. It was obvious that he was crying, so they hurried up. go.

"What's wrong?" Fang Yun bent down to look at Sirui.

I saw that the other party's eyes were red from crying, and because he rubbed them a few times just now, they were still a little swollen.Seeing this appearance, Fang Yun hugged him into his arms distressedly.

"Shall we go back? I'm sorry, I shouldn't force you." Fang Yun was also a little at a loss.

Ke Sirui shook his head with red eyes, climbed onto Fang Yun's back with his small hands, and instead comforted Fang Yun: "Brother Fang Yun, it's my fault, Sirui is too useless."

As soon as the words fell, he couldn't help crying anymore, apologizing while crying: "I'm sorry Brother Fang Yun! Siri didn't want to cry! It's all useless for Siri! If Siri is a man, Ah Father will not be disliked by the villagers, nor will he be bullied by the villagers!"

"Everyone in the village says that dad works so hard because I'm a brother! It's also because I'm a brother that nobody wants dad! It's all my fault!"

Fang Xiao froze in place for a moment, the lively energy just now disappeared completely, he just stared blankly at Siri and burst into tears.

And Fang Yun felt sorry for him when he heard it, so his eyes turned red, and he stroked his back again and again, a little at a loss.

"It's not Siri's fault, those people are big villains, Siri doesn't have to believe what those villains say! Siri, you are not wrong, what's wrong with being born a brother?"

However, little Si Rui didn't understand these words, she just felt that she had caused her father to be like this, so she cried out all her grievances.In Sirui's state, Xu Tang couldn't see it, so he simply stopped at the same spot and didn't turn his head.

After all, Ke Sirui was a child, and after crying for a while, he became a little tired, and then fell asleep on Fang Yun's shoulder.

Zuo Zuo couldn't pick any spices today, and Sirui cried hard again. After he fell asleep, the group went back.

Worrying that Fulang would feel tired, Mo Jingcheng hugged Sirui in his arms, and freed one hand to hold Fulang who was still a little sad with his head bowed.

"Rainbow." Mo Jingcheng called softly.

But Fang Yun didn't look up, staring at the wild flowers crumbling among the grass in a daze.

"Husband."

After a long time, Fang Yun slowly raised his head and looked at Mo Jingcheng with a pair of red eyes.

"Is brother really useless?"
