Chapter 9 Another Year
Song Shanlan came back from the fields, it was scorching summer, and as soon as he opened the wooden door, he smelled a familiar fragrance of medicine.He put down his back basket, went to the well to fetch a bucket of cold water, soaked a handkerchief, wiped his face and neck casually, moved behind Lin Jingchu, and asked with concern:
"Grandma Su's illness has flared up again?"
Lin Jingchu continued the movement in his hands, slowly poured the altar of medicine into another long and thin bottle, and replied: "Well, she said her heart hurts again these two days, let me prescribe some medicine for her."
Song Shanlan threw the handkerchief aside, but when he received Lin Jingchu's cold stare, he immediately washed it obediently and dried it on the bamboo rack in the yard.
He took out a few fresh fruits from the side basket, fetched water again, washed them, they were cool, crispy and sweet.He brought the apple that he asked for a bite to Lin Jingchu's mouth, Lin Jingchu glanced at him with disgust in his eyes, but still leaned over and took a big bite.
Song Shanlan was amused, seeing some juice at the corner of his mouth, and others were busy pouring medicine, so he thought about doing a good deed every day, and followed his heart, he lowered his body, leaned his head closer, and kissed the corner of the man's mouth with a "snap" superior.
Lin Jingchu glared at him with enchanting eyes, kicked him lightly, and said:
"Go and deliver it to Granny Su, be careful, don't fall."
"Hey, I knew you still love me, daughter-in-law."
"Go, who loves you, I love my medicine."
Song Shanlan's expression faltered, and he walked towards Granny Su's house carefully holding the bottle of medicine with his shoulders down.
At the door of Granny Su's house, Granny Su was fanning a cattail fan slowly, and Ayun was drying some dried fruits in the yard, talking to her from time to time.
Qi Yue and Xiaoxi were playing at the door, Qi Yue picked some flowers from the wild flowers in front of the door, pink and white, not famous flowers, but because they grow in this beautiful mountain and river, they bring some Aura.
Two years later, his body has grown a lot taller, and because of his height, he is no longer as round as before, and he is already a skinny young boy.Holding the few flowers tightly in his hand, with heroic brows and eyes curved, he walked a few steps to the pink little person sitting obediently next to grandma, and said with a smile:
"Xiaoxi, here are the flowers for you."
The pink and tender little man's face was slightly red, whether it was from the sun or because of Qi Yue's actions, he said Nuo Nuo: "Oh."
"Here, so you are my wife, right grandma?" Qi Yue smiled happily, just like Brother Song and Uncle Lin.
Xiaoxi stared wide-eyed, her little ears turned red, "Oh—"
Qi Yue was full of pride, stuffed the flower into his thin white palm, put his hands behind his back, leaned over, gave a "slap", and kissed Xiaoxi on the mouth.
Before, Granny Su was happy to see the two of them quarreling. Seeing this, she couldn't help but change her face, and waved her cattail fan and said, "Qi Yue! What are you doing!"
Qi Yue pursed his lips, staring at the small and delicate rosy woman with unsatisfied meaning, and shouted: "Qi Yue is kissing the brook."
Granny Su was a little anxious: "Who told you to kiss him, my little ancestor!"
Qi Yue looked at the anxious grandma in puzzlement, and poked Xiaoxi's tender cheek with his finger, it was so soft. "Grandma, Brother Song can kiss Uncle Lin, why can't Qi Yue kiss Xiaoxi?"
Granny Su's expression froze, her face turned pale, she sighed, and said slowly: "Qi Yue, you have to remember that you and Xiaoxi are brothers, and you can't do such things between brothers. You and your brother Song They're different."
"Why, Xiaoxi is not my younger brother." Qi Yue raised his head and said loudly, he is obviously my younger sister.
Grandma Su opened her mouth, and lowered her raised cattail fan. In the end, she didn't say anything, but just sighed lightly.Ayun was always paying attention to the situation of the two children outside in the yard. At this time, she heard her son suddenly yell, "Xiaoxi is not my brother." He thought it was him who was mischievous and bullying Xiaoxi's child again, and he didn't care about it Wiping the pulp in the apron, he walked out quickly.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Granny Su looking a little tired, leaning against the stone pier by the door and not speaking, Xiaoxi stared at her son with black eyes, and Qi Yue raised his small face in disbelief. Looking at Granny Su, seeing her coming, she shifted her gaze to herself, opened her mouth, and asked a little aggrieved:
"Mother, why can't Qi Yue kiss Xiaoxi, just like Brother Song did to Uncle Lin?"
Ayun's heart was shaken, she turned her eyes in front of Xiaoxi and Qi Yue, and then glanced at her mother-in-law's expression, thinking that she was not good, but with a smile on her face, she came to Qi Yue and touched him With a dark head, said:
"Why does Qi Yue want to kiss Xiaoxi? Tell mother about it."
Qi Yue rubbed her hand, glanced at the creek with his long and narrow eyes, and said falteringly: "The creek is so beautiful."
Ayun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If you look good, can you marry anyone you want?" This child turned out to be a pervert.She looked at his more and more similar features to that person, and sighed in her heart. Everyone said that a tiger father has no dogs, and it seemed that this sentence had no effect on Qi Yue.
Qi Yue shook his head, his face was a little red, he seemed ashamed, and he seemed annoyed: "Mother, I'm not just a casual person! I only kiss Xiaoxi alone! No matter how good-looking other people are, it doesn't matter to me about it, hum."
When Ah Yun heard this, she felt a little strange. She bent down, looked at Qi Yue's serious eyes, and asked tentatively:
"Qi Yue, if mother said that one day we will leave here, what would you take with you?"
Qi Yue was taken aback, frowned slightly, and then counted them one by one with his fingers: "Dabai, Erbai, Mianmian at home, and, um, mother, can we take the grape trellis in the yard away?"
Ayun looked at him suspiciously: "Why, Qi Yue, don't you take grandma and Xiaoxi away?" Why didn't this kid even mention them?Isn't it very sticky to the creek?
"Eh? Didn't Xiaoxi and grandma just go with us?" Qi Yue asked in surprise.
Ayun shook her head, and said seriously: "Qi Yue, what mother said is true, maybe one day, we don't have the right to bring Xiaoxi and grandma with us, you... what will you do?"
Qi Yue frowned, stared at her for a while, then pushed her, walked around behind her, grabbed Xiaoxi who had been quiet on the side, looked back at A Yun, his eyes were bright, and he shouted: " Mother is bad! Qi Yue doesn't want to move away from here! Qi Yue doesn't want to be separated from Xiaoxi!" There was a bit of crying in the voice.
Ayun was about to hug them, but she didn't want Qi Yue to twist her body and dodge.
He led the brook, and desperately ran towards the other side of the stream - there was his own orchard there.
Ayun wanted to get up and chase after her, but was stopped by Granny Su.
"Ah Yun, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so it's better not to interfere too much. Besides," she paused, her voice even older, "besides, you and Qi Yue are probably going to move out, too. Knowing how much that child Qi Yue likes to be with Xiaoxi, let them hang out more." Having said so many words in one breath, Granny Su was a little panting, seeing this, Ah Yun hurriedly took out a piece of oil paper from her pocket The bag contained some brown and black mixed pills, which were prepared by Dr. Lin before.She took out one pill each, put it into her mother-in-law's mouth, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water for her mother-in-law to swallow.Seeing that her mother-in-law looked a little better, she opened her mouth:
"Grandmother, I understand what you said, but you also know that Qi Yue is the son of that man. Although the man hasn't shown up much in the past five years, he has treated our mother and son well. A Yun has no wishful thinking, just want to It would be nice to bring up Qi Yue and watch him live an ordinary life in peace." She hesitated for a moment, as if struggling for something, and finally said, "Ah Yun also likes Xiaoxi, and will always Do my best to take care of him, that's what I've always taught Qi Yue. However, Ah Yun doesn't want Qi Yue to have any abnormal feelings for Xiaoxi. "
Granny Su's hands holding the palm-leaf fan trembled, she closed her eyes slightly, as if she had fallen asleep.Just when Ah Yun thought her old man was too tired and fell asleep, she slowly opened her eyes and said slowly, "Ah Yun, help me into the house, it's windy outside." The voice was old and ethereal, as if from Echoes in the distant mountains and forests.
A Yun's eyes were slightly red, and she responded softly "Hey".
She was worried about Qi Yue's attitude towards Xiaoxi from the beginning, but because the child was still young in the past two years, she didn't pay much attention, but today's matter made her extremely worried.
Qi Yue has always liked playing with Xiaoxi, since he was a child, sleeping, bathing and playing together.It's nothing, after all, they are around the same age, and Ayun and her mother-in-law don't like to hang out by the river, so Xiaoxi and Qi Yue have very few playmates, only Chunsheng from the next door comes to play with Xiaoxi occasionally.And at that time, Qi Yue would yell at them as if someone had robbed him of his favorite toy, run wildly all over the yard, and after they left, he would stick around Xiaoxi and stare at him foolishly. Hold on to him.
Xiaoxi's child is slower than Qi Yue both physically and mentally.When Qi Yue had grown to be as tall as his mother's waist, Xiao Xi was still a small and thin one, only reaching Qi Yue's shoulders, but his eyebrows and eyes became more and more handsome.
The child was pure and simple, and Qi Yue often teased him, but he just stared at him with black eyes and didn't speak a word.
A Yun sighed, looking at the sun that was gradually setting in the west, feeling faintly worried.
He was worried about the safety of Qi Yue and Xiao Xi, and also worried about moving out of here in the future, Qi Yue didn't know what would happen to this child.
Qi Yue dragged Xiaoxi and ran all the way, er, it wasn't crazy, because Xiaoxi was small, short-legged, thin and weak, and couldn't keep up with his pace at all.Qi Yue was also very angry and sad when he heard his mother's words at the beginning. After running like this for a while, the stubbornness dissipated a lot. He looked at Xiaoxi's red face and saw him staggeringly following him , but kept silent, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
He tugged on his sleeves and carefully wiped the sweat of Xiaoxi. Even though he was very careful, he still made Xiaoxi's white and tender forehead a little red.Because the material of the clothes is a bit rough.Qi Yue was a little out of breath. He looked at Xiaoxi's big black eyes and asked in a low voice: "Xiaoxi, if I leave with my mother, will you miss me?" Since mother said, grandma and Xiaoxi can't talk to them Let's go, then... it should be really impossible... Ugh, thinking about it like this makes him want to cry.
Xiaoxi's face was dripping with sweat, he raised his head, and asked puzzledly, "Where are you going?"
"I don't know, let's go somewhere without you." Qi Yue said sullenly.
Xiaoxi's big eyes flickered when he heard this, but he didn't speak.
Qi Yue felt anxious, and squeezed his small shoulders: "Xiaoxi, don't you miss me! I'm so sad, I miss you very much, you don't even miss me, woo--" Sitting on the ground and crying.
Xiaoxi lowered his eyes, peeked at the people on the ground, and whispered, "Crybaby, shame on your face."
Qi Yue choked up, and swallowed the wailing behind him forcefully, a joke, how could Xiao Xi call him a crybaby.He turned over and got up from the ground, ignoring the dirt on his body, staring at the stream with bright eyes, and said seriously:
"I will miss you, so you should miss me too."
Under the setting sun, the sunlight in the woods reflected on Qi Yue's face with some light.
Xiaoxi looked at him, and asked hesitantly, "Will you come back to see me when you miss me?"
Qi Yue nodded sharply.
Xiaoxi immediately smiled, the corners of his mouth were curved, and there were deep dimples on his cheeks: "Well, I will miss you too."
Qi Yue was taken aback, eh?Dare to love, this guy doesn't want to miss me because he is afraid that I won't come back to see him.
After thinking this through, he laughed, took his hand very naturally, slowed down now, and walked home while playing with the flowers, plants and fruits on the road.
It's better for him not to be angry with his mother. After all, his father is not by her side, so he can't be so bad and bully her.Thinking this way, Qi Yue returned to the door of the house.
Grandma has already gone into the house. Since the beginning of winter this year, her health has not been very good.Just as he was thinking, he heard a man's voice coming from inside.Qi Yue was overjoyed, and immediately pulled Xiaoxi into the yard - "Brother Song!"
