Tolerate

Today's lunch was extraordinarily sumptuous. Chi Muqiu came to the countryside to see his grandparents for the first time, and the two old people wanted to bring all the delicious food to the table.

Chi Muqiu's bowl was piled high.Grandma Chi looked at her granddaughter gobbling it up, and said lovingly, "Slow down..."

Chi Muqiu proudly raised his eyebrows at Lu Qingming.Lu Qingming didn't look at her, and counted the rice grains slowly with his head down.

Chi Muyun was not used to serving food for others.But she glanced at Lu Qingming, and couldn't help but want to put more delicious food in her bowl.The silly girl was fine when she was playing games, but now for some reason, she is a little sluggish, and the movements of picking up vegetables are half a beat slower than others, and she only eats the plate of fried garlic moss in front of her.

Chi Muyun sighed softly, picked up a piece of fried hairtail, removed the spines carefully, and put it into Lu Qingming's bowl.

Lu Qingming paused with his chopsticks, moved the fish to the side of the bowl, lowered his eyes, still staring at the garlic moss in front of him.

Chi Muyun frowned slightly.What's wrong with this kid?Obviously he loves fish.Looks... angry?

Chi Muyun observed carefully and found that the girl's cheeks were a little bulging.

She had never been aware of the child's emotions, and this was the most obvious one.Chi Muyun glanced at Chi Muqiu, could it be that he was annoyed by Chi Muqiu?

She withdrew her gaze, feeling sad for some reason, picked up another piece of fish, lowered her head to pick out the thorn, and put it into Lu Qingming's bowl.

Lu Qingming paused with his chopsticks again, and looked up at Chi Muyun.Did she blame herself for not eating vegetables?Lu Qingming knew that she should not be noticed by others, but when she thought of the "object" in the adults' mouths, she felt very uncomfortable.

Chi Muyun called in the outhouse, and she heard it all.Although she couldn't understand what Chi Muyun was saying, the relaxed and joyful voice made her subconsciously feel lost.

My chaotic mind didn't know what loss was, so I felt the soreness in my chest first, so uncomfortable that I couldn't even lift my chopsticks.

But she soon realized vaguely that it was wrong to be lost.Because Chi Muyun was looking at her.So she lowered her head and ate both pieces of fish.

Only then did Chi Muyun smile, and put stewed pork and sauerkraut for her.

The girl finished eating obediently, and her cheeks gradually relaxed.

"Xiao Yun, I told your father," Grandma Chi said, "Let him find a job for your sister-in-law in the city, a place to live..."

Grandma Chi paused, then sighed, "Your father will arrange everything. Your cousin will also go there together."

Chi Tianxiang made his fortune in the capital.Many relatives in the family turned to him and went directly to the capital.Chi Tianxiang did his best to help and arrange, especially Aunt Chi and Uncle Chi's family.

Grandma Chi Muyun also helped find Lu Wensong's job.

Despite this, the cousin is still dissatisfied, and always feels that the Chi family has not tried their best.

"Your cousin wants to go to your father's company and be a small leader or something," Grandma Chi sighed, "Little brat, does he think it's easy to be a leader? If it was really easy, your father would have let him be a long time ago." !"

Chi Muyun pondered for a while, "Sister-in-law can go to the city as well. At least..." She glanced at Lu Qingming, "The child can get a better education."

Grandma Chi glanced at Chi Muyun, then at Lu Qingming, and nodded, "That's right."

It was getting dark, and the fine snow could not stop falling.Lu Qingming had been away from home for so long, and Lu Wensong didn't come to make a phone call.

"Which house do you want to live in?"

The woman's pleasant voice sounded in his ears, Lu Qingming turned his head to look at the quilt on the kang, walked over slowly, and touched the bed he had slept on.

Chi Muqiu yawned and walked in, "Grandma said that there are not enough quilts, and there is one less bed."

Chi Muyun frowned slightly, "I heard from grandma that two years ago when making tofu, the kang burned down two beds."

"Then—" Chi Muqiu jumped onto the kang, hugged a quilt, and hesitated, "How about...the three of us cover two quilts together? It will be very warm!"

Chi Muyun shook his head lightly, "You know I'm not used to sleeping with other people."

Chi Muqiu rolled out the quilt and said, "Then I'll sleep in the same bed with this child."

Chi Muyun hesitated, "You sleep so poorly, don't let your child catch a cold."

Chi Muqiu frowned and said, "Then what should I do?"

Or, ask a neighbor to borrow a bed?Chi Muyun quickly dismissed this idea.For such a close-fitting quilt, she really didn't want to borrow someone else's.

She thought for a while and took out two blankets from the cabinet.The heating is very hot, so it should be fine to make do with it.She spread the blanket beside Lu Qingming, and then began to change into pajamas.

Sleeping on a kang, Chi Muyun couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to, so he turned his back and unbuttoned his underwear.

A head poked out from under the quilt, with big deer-like eyes staring straight at the naked back.But remembering that Chi Muyun said that the place covered by clothes should not be seen by others, Lu Qingming hurriedly closed his eyes again.

There was a sound around him, and the faint fruity aroma lingered on the tip of his nose. It felt dark in front of his eyes, and when the light was turned off, Lu Qingming slowly opened his eyes again.

The snowy night in the countryside is an absolute night.

Chi Muqiu whispered, "Xiaoyun, just let that child sleep with me, don't catch a cold."

Chi Muyun closed his eyes, "Go to sleep, the two blankets are quite warm, not cold at all."

Chi Muqiu muttered, "Then what should I do if the heater turns cold in the middle of the night..."

A few minutes later, Chi Muqiu breathed out evenly, and began to stretch his arms and legs.Chi Muyun gathered the blanket around his body.

"……cloud."

Lu Qingming's muffled voice came from the side.In the dark night, you can't see anything. It's the same when you open your eyes and close them.Chi Muyun tilted his head in the direction of the sound source, and responded softly, "Huh?"

Lu Qingming stopped talking, stuck out his hand from the quilt, groped in the dark, and touched Chi Muyun's arm.

"……cold."

The girl's fingers were slender, but rough and warm. After touching Chi Muyun, she retracted cautiously, and then poked her back after a few seconds.

"cold."

The girl's hand grabbed her arm unconsciously, and stretched into her quilt.Chi Muyun's body froze slightly, subconsciously reprimanded, "Why do you..."

Holding her arm, the girl stubbornly repeated, "... cool."

Chi Muyun wanted to withdraw his arm, but was hugged tightly by the girl. An 11-year-old kid doesn't know where he got so much strength.Chi Muyun felt the girl approaching her, and the warm breath enveloped her whole body in the next second.

The girl put half of the quilt on her body.

No discomfort imaginable.

Lu Qingming pursed his lips in the dark.If you are cold, you need to cover yourself with a quilt. This is all the logic that can be invoked in her mind.

Chi Muyun sighed, "Have you covered the quilt yet?"

As she spoke, she still stretched out her arm, touched the girl's shoulder along the edge of the quilt, and gently tucked the corner of the quilt for her.

Lu Qingming took a deep breath.

smell good.

She leaned against the lingering fruity fragrance, closed her eyes and fell into a sweet dream.

The sun rose three poles, and Lu Qingming woke up with a start.The sunlight outside the window was dazzling, and she was the only one left on the kang.She scratched her hair before realizing that she was getting up late.She got up quickly and put on the padded jacket.

She is rarely late.Maybe because the quilt is too soft, I don't want to wake up when I sleep on it.

At this time, a woman's shrill voice came from the outer room.

"Haven't you eaten yet?" Gui Qin took off her scarf and said with a smile.

Chi Muyun agreed, his face darkened.As soon as she saw Guiqin, she thought of the scars on Lu Qingming's body.

Guiqin opened the curtain of the east room on her own, "This girl disappeared in a blink of an eye, so I knew she came here."

Lu Qingming ran out of the house like a gust of wind, and hid behind Chi Muyun.Gui Qin stared, "Hey—damn girl..."

Chi Muyun stood in front of Lu Qingming and looked into his cousin's eyes, "Sister-in-law went to the market yesterday, did you buy any good things?"

Gui Qin's eyes flickered, "Ah... I have a stomachache, so I just rested at home."

Chi Muyun said unhurriedly, "Then you have to pay attention, is there something wrong?"

Gui Qin looked away from Chi Muyun's slender hands, and laughed dryly, "What's wrong with it? It's probably because I ate something bad."
