born to you

Chapter 45

Being able to bother He Jing for a few days at the end of the year was something that he didn't even dare to think about. He didn't expect to be left here for the New Year, which made Li Qi flattered.

He nodded hastily, for fear that He Jing would regret it.

Then he asked an important message he heard just now: "Brother Jing, what did you mean when you said that it would save you from rushing back again?"

He Jing smiled mysteriously, turned her head to look at the scenery on the road that she had already been familiar with, and stopped answering.

How is this possible to say the export?

Could it be that he said that he had overturned the relationship between himself and Li Qi several times in the past two days in his hometown, and finally felt that he should be more active and generous?

And he also thought that Li Qi would be alone during the Chinese New Year anyway, so why not rush back to give him a surprise in the last few days...

However, although this surprise was snatched first, he also enjoyed it very much.

No matter where it is, as long as there is Li Qi.

The car drove very fast, and arrived at He's house in a short while. When they got off the car, both of them were a little nervous at the same time.

What made He Jing nervous was that this suddenly led Li Qi home, and it would be difficult to explain if something was discovered.

Li Qi's nervousness became even more pure. He was only nervous because he wanted to see He Jing's grandfather.

Before this, Grandpa He Jing was just an image that existed in the narration, but now he was about to stand in front of him, he was afraid that if he didn't pay attention, he would make people unhappy, and the relationship with He Jing would be difficult in the future.

After the car stopped, He Jing paid the money and pushed open the door to bypass the trunk to get the luggage. This thoughtful image made Li Qi tremble with fear.

Did someone change his brother Jing?His elder brother Jing is obviously a peerless little tsundere who rolls his eyes at every turn, who is this man and his wife!

He Jing didn't know the twists and turns in his mind, and explained to Li Qi: "I have two grandpas in my family, you can call someone after me later, don't mistake me."

Li Qi inevitably lost his mind.

"Don't think too much, the other one grew up with my grandfather." He Jing quickly restrained his strange thoughts.

Li Qi behaved obediently: "Well, I'll call someone after you."

He Jing thought for a while, and added a few steps away from the entrance of the courtyard: "Actually, my grandpa is an easy-going person, you can forget the image I instilled in you before."

Li Qi thought to himself, do you still know that you called your grandfather a scourge?

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from the door behind He Jing: "What image did you imbue?"

He Jing's expression froze.

He Jing's body stiffened.

He Jing...

Some dare not turn their heads.

He Jinmin walked out the door and was surprised to see Li Qi in front of He Jing: "Just now I heard from Lao Xu that you went out in a hurry, so you went to pick up your friends."

He Jing nodded weakly, still turning his back to He Jinmin: "Yes, I'm sorry I forgot to say hello to you. He is Li Qi, my friend in Linliang."

Li Qi refrained from laughing at his brother Jing's cowardly face, walked up to He Jinmin and quietly poked He Jing's stomach to appease him, and then politely greeted He Jinmin: "Hi, grandpa, I'm really sorry to interrupt you suddenly during the New Year's Eve. Just now, He Jing went out to pick me up. I said I should take the initiative to come and visit, but He Jing was afraid that I would not be familiar with the people here, so I was eager to pick me up. Mine, don't blame him."

He Jinmin's life has been full of ups and downs for decades, and he has long been numb to the family-style activities of the Chinese New Year. His wish these years is only to be as lively as possible, although He Jing brought a kid home without saying hello. It's not polite, but he is also happy in his heart.

This child also seems to be a well-behaved and polite person, and he has a handsome face, even comparable to his grandson, and he also likes it in his heart.

He Jinmin knew that it was the New Year's Eve, and the child was still running around alone. He seemed to be someone his parents didn't love, so he couldn't help but think of He Jing who was at home alone on New Year's Eve a few years ago, and even more so. With a bit of pity, he hurried forward and hugged Li Qi's shoulder: "Okay, there's nothing to blame him for. Come in quickly. It's the Chinese New Year in a few days, do you want to go back?"

Li Qi was a little flattered, and He Jing controlled his eyes that were about to stare down.

What's the matter with such a gentle and tsundere old man? !

Li Qi quickly replied: "If Grandpa doesn't dislike it, I would like to stay with you for a few more days."

have a look!This is so talkative!What a child!He also said that he wanted to spend a few more days with him!

Not only does He Jinmin not dislike him, but his level of speaking is much higher than that of his eldest grandson, and these words are much more pleasant to hear than his eldest grandson!

He Jing would only say, "I'll leave when the time comes, so I won't trouble you much."

He Jinmin patted Li Qi's back hard a few times: "All right, good boy. Then you stay here for a few more days, and let Qingchen take you to have fun in Shuizhou."

He Jing listened to the two people being happy and happy, and resignedly pulled the suitcase behind.

Li Qi nodded seriously: "I've heard that Shuizhou has outstanding people, but I haven't been here yet. I saw the beautiful mountains and rivers on the way here this time, so I knew it was right. Grandpa will go play with us then? "

He Jinmin smiled: "I'm too old to play classes anymore, just let Qingchen stay with you."

"Grandpa, you are not old! But compared to the customs here, you have experienced it all over the place? Then I will let Qing Chen take me as a tour guide."

Li Qi said compliments casually, and also read He Jing's words along with it. He Jing only felt a red cloud burning on his face.

Just call someone, why are you procrastinating...

When Li Qi came, Lao Xu was watering the vegetable garden in the backyard. After hearing the movement, he rushed over and went to the living room. Seeing that He Jinmin and Li Qi looked like they had met each other, he asked He Jing quietly: "Qing Chen , this is... the friend you brought over just now?"

He Jing went out in such a hurry just now, coupled with the current scene, anyone can guess what he did just now.

"It's my junior in Linliang, my neighbor...and a math teacher."

After getting a general understanding of the situation, Old Xu was also very happy: "This year's New Year's Eve firecrackers are finally not just me and the young master. It can be regarded as lively."

He Jing lowered her head apologetically, "I'm sorry, Grandpa Xu."

Old Xu patted him on the shoulder: "Say something stupid, how could it be your fault. Well, don't think about it anymore."

Old Xu walked up to interrupt the selfless exchange between the two, and asked Li Qi: "What do you want to eat tonight? Tell Grandpa Xu, and I will cleanse you up."

Li Qi looked at Lao Xu and He Jinmin with some embarrassment: "Actually, I came here to bother, and I should have brought some kindness, but I came too urgent and ended up empty-handed. How about this, Grandpa, I will do something when I am here." If you still don't mind the common meal, I will cook tonight and give you a taste of Linliang's specialties."

Old Xu insisted: "That can't be done, you are a guest, how can there be any reason to let a guest cook?"

Li Qi said: "Grandpa Xu, didn't you promise me to treat this place as my own home? You can't treat me as a guest."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to He Jing, who was watching from behind, in order to ask him to help with a word.

He Jing received the message and joined the battle: "That's right, Grandpa Xu. And he cooks very well, and the local dishes in Linliang are also excellent. Take a break tonight and see how he is doing."

Seeing that Lao Xu stopped talking, Li Qi pointed at He Jinmin again, and he said coquettishly, "Grandpa, let me cook for you next time, okay?"

He Jing looked at his shiny dog ​​eyes and dog legs, and almost wanted to go up and play with his hair.

He Jinmin: "..."

"Yes, yes, but you have to let Qingchen help you, you can't work alone."

He Qingchen: hello?He can only crack eggs, okay?

Li Qi looked at He Jing with a smile: "Then it will be troublesome for Qing Chen."

He Jing: "...you're welcome."

Seeing that Li Qi's suitcase was still standing in the living room, He Jinmin hurriedly said to Lao Xu, "Old Xu, hurry up and tidy up another room for Li Qi to rest for a while."

How can Li Qi trouble Lao Xu any more, not to mention that he didn't come here for this, he said to Lao Xu: "No need, Grandpa Xu, didn't Luo Mingshan live here before, I can live in the room before him , there is no need to tidy up another room for me."

What kind of big tail wolf?

He Jing told him before that Luo Mingshan slept in the same room as him.

Sure enough, Old Xu said: "Mingshan and Qingchen lived in the same room before."

Li Qi followed his words and said, "Then I can live in the same room with Qing Chen, Grandpa, okay?"

He looked at He Jinmin again, launching an attack with eyes full of affection.

He Jing: ...

Has anyone asked him!That's his house and his bed is not good!

……

The final result was that He Jing resigned to her fate and took the man into her room, and took off her shoes and lay down on the bed as soon as she entered.

"Pick up your things yourself, and call me when you go out to buy groceries later."

He was called over to pick up the plane during his lunch break, but He Jing is still sleepy at the moment.

Li Qi agreed and began to pack his things.

The movement in it made He Jing stand up again, and looked at him while lying on his side with his head resting on his head.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Qingchen." Seeing him staring at him motionless, Li Qi asked.

He Jing blushed as soon as she heard the word Qingchen, and quickly lay down again.

After the two of them rested in the house, He Jing, who had been sold by his grandfather, took a small vegetable basket to Li Qi's request and took him to the market to buy vegetables.

Although the He family was deep in the alley, fortunately, the road out of the alley was well-traveled, and it didn't take long to reach the vegetable market.

Li Qi squatted in front of a pile of radishes, vegetables, potatoes, winter melons, and asked the stall owner with a smile, "Sister, how do you sell these tomatoes?"

The stall owner saw that he was good-looking and sweet-mouthed, so he covered his mouth and smiled, and then said something in dialect.

Li Qi was a little embarrassed, he smiled wryly: "Wait a minute, sister, I'm not from the local area, wait until I call an interpreter."

As he spoke, he called He Jing who was standing behind: "Qing Chen, come and help me be an interpreter."

He Jing was almost ashamed to be called those two words by him. The taste of a good name changed after he came out of his mouth.

He Jing reluctantly translated: "The stall owner said: 'This tomato is one yuan and five catties. I'll give you one and three catties because you look good.'"

Li Qi said, "Thank you Qingchen."

He smiled and said to the stall owner: "Thank you sister, then give me five dollars."

The stall owner happily weighed a few catties for him, and before leaving, he did not forget to give him two freshly bought oranges.

"Young man, take it and eat it, this is quite sweet."

Li Qi was overjoyed and peeled the orange: "Then thank you sister even more."

It was the first time He Jing saw him so glib, so he snorted coldly and stepped forward to lead the way.

Before he took two steps, someone caught up and handed him a peeled orange.

He Jing took it, and really wanted to say "thank you", Li Qi said, "I guess I will have to trouble Qingchen to translate for me today."

……

"Hey you..."

"What's wrong? Qingchen doesn't like me calling you that?"

This time, Li Qi went directly to his ear and bit these two words heavily.

He Jing covered her ears and strode away.

Finally, the two bought some seasonal fruits and vegetables, meat and poultry and went home. As soon as they got into the kitchen, Li Qi first found a glass to help He Jing pour a glass of water to warm his hands.

I still don’t forget Sui Sui Nian: “Although it is indeed much warmer than Linliang here, Brother Jing, don’t go out wearing a shirt. This place is surrounded by the city river, and there is a night wind in the evening, so you will catch a cold.”

This kind of familiar mother Li's caring made He Jing find himself all of a sudden. He took a sip of hot water to warm his body, and sighed: "You don't call me 'Qingchen' anymore."

Li Qi smiled and started to wash the vegetables: "You'll be so shy if I call you a few words, if I really keep calling you, you won't be ashamed to death."

He Jing defended in a low voice: "I'm not shy..."

"Then what are you? Your face is red up to your ears." Li Qi pierced it mercilessly.

"I was..." He Jing said in a low voice, "I was a little happy for a while. No one has called me that for a long time."

Li Qi raised his eyebrows: "Then can I always call you that?"

"..."

"Hahaha, I'll call privately."

"..."

He Jing said that he came to the kitchen to lay hands on others, but in fact he came to the kitchen to steal food.

Unfortunately, Li Qi did everything today but none of the dishes had anything to do with eggs. He Jingkong had egg-beating skills but was useless, so he could only stand in the kitchen and get in the way.

"Brother Jing, you've gone around three times, aren't you tired?" Li Qi asked him sternly.

He Jing really had nothing to do, so he started to circle the cooking table for the fourth time: "It's nothing, you can do your own work, I'm not tired."

"Then why don't you help me divide the seasoning? This pile of bottles and jars are not labeled. I can't tell the difference between sugar, salt and monosodium glutamate."

"Ah, okay." He Jing stopped, stood at the cooking table face to face with Li Qi, seriously... tasted the flavors in each jar, and reported them to Li Qi.

"From left to right, sugar, salt, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, vinegar, pepper, chili powder."

Li Qi remembered that he just dipped his fingers into the seasoning: "You didn't taste the chicken essence and monosodium glutamate, did you?"

That stuff is not tasty.

"...I can tell the difference."

Who do you think is a fool?

In the end, Li Qi cooked six dishes and one soup under He Jing's onlookers, more than half of which were He Jing's usual favorites.

What about giving the grandpas a taste of the local characteristics of Linliang? Co-authoring all the characteristics of Linliang is for He Jing alone?

He Jing was deep in thought while holding the hot and sour tripe soup.

Even the chopped green onion and coriander are just right.

He Jing first set up the bowls and chopsticks one by one, and pulled out the chair from the main seat.

After the two elders sat down, he sat down next to Li Qi.

He Jinmin looked at the table full of dishes, and couldn't help but praise Li Qi: "It's rare to see such a good boy as Xiao Qi, he must be very popular with girls, right? Alright, let's have dinner."

Li Qi smiled, stood up and helped the two grandfathers serve bowls of tripe soup and put them in front of them: "That's not true, on the contrary, Brother Jing is more popular with girls. By the way, Grandpa, try this soup, it is especially good for keeping out the cold." , very famous in Linliang."

He Jing pushed his hand that was about to serve her soup, and did it herself: "Don't talk nonsense."

This person must be jealous of his dozen love letters after the New Year's Eve party.

He Jinmin smiled: "Just my grandson? How can he be likable with a lump of wood?"

Old Xu retorted: "Young master, don't say that about Qing Chen, his character also has merit."

He Jing: "..."

Can you not discuss him in his face?

Li Qi gave He Jing a braised lion's head with a chopsticks of green vegetables. He watched people eat it with disgust before continuing to say: "Grandpa, don't believe it. Brother Jing went through our school's New Year's Day party last time. It was an instant hit!"

He Jinmin was quite interested.

He Jing quietly kicked Li Qi's feet under the table to signal him not to talk nonsense.

Li Qi seemed to have lost his senses, and continued with a smile: "He led his class to direct and act in a historical drama, and he played the leading role."

Old Xu asked: "What kind of historical drama is that? Who is Qingchen playing?"

He Jing replied: "... Qu Lingjun."

He Jinmin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that those Li Sao Chu Ci that he showed him when he was a child were now truly imprinted in his blood.

A little relieved.

And a little proud.

He Jing didn't know that this tsundere old man's heart was full of the feeling of "my family has a grandson who grows up". He just felt that it was not good for him to play that role rashly, so he dug the soup silently, trying to lower his presence.

But someone picked up a chopstick and drool chicken.

He Jing looked up, and what he saw was He Qingchen's slightly approving eyes.

"Not bad. Very sentimental."

He Jing was flattered for a moment.

Is he being praised by the arrogant old man?

After the meal, Lao Xu refused to let Li Qi and He Jing do the dishes any more, and joined forces with He Jinmin to drive the two out of the house, and asked He Jing to take Li Qi around.

He Jing looked at the night, feeling a little melancholy.

Even though you are in the south and the climate is pleasant, it will still be cold at night!Can't you just give someone a coat and drive them away?

Li Qi consciously took off his coat and put it on for He Jing.

"Thanks."

He Jing sighed inwardly.Although the relationship between the two of them is not clear now, it is almost the same, and it would be really hypocritical to try to tweak it, so I accepted his kindness.

He Jing looked at him: "Where do you want to go?"

Li Qi said: "Take me to see the lanterns along the river. I heard that the southern water town is very lively at night."

He Jing nodded and took him away: "It's really lively, and the Chinese New Year will be in a few days. There are quite a lot of special stalls by the river."

Li Qi was very interested.

I am not only interested in the different customs here, but also in the growth environment of He Jing.

want to know everything about him.
