green grass on the stream

Li Xiaogao's uncle recently bought a batch of clay pots, the big ones are as big as a bucket, and the small ones are only the size of a fist. They are really cute with their stomachs upright.

Summer is the time when vegetables and fruits are plentiful. Many people will make kimchi or pickle the excess fruits and vegetables into pickles. Pickle a jar of sweet, sour, salty and spicy, and you will have delicious food throughout autumn and winter.

Li Xiaogao helped Qi Yanfan move the clay pots onto the trolley. The goods were a bit heavy this time, so he asked with a little concern but a little bit of confusion: "How about I push it for you?"

Qi Yanfan smiled at him: "Okay."

Li Xiaogai's heart is warm, but he has never done anything to sell others by putting a warm face on them.He is obviously a half-grown child, but he has to put on a cold face.In the past, when someone came to the store, he would just answer a few words, and he was so careless in doing business, no wonder his uncle was worried about his livelihood.

In such a comparison, he is simply warm, caring and friendly to Qi Yanfan.

After yelling for a while, people from the village gathered around and asked questions.Qi Yanfan dealt with it left and right, his mouth kept opening and closing.On the other hand, Li Xiaogai was quietly loading the wood, as if he said he was just here to help push the cart, nothing more.

"Isn't this the cake from the Li family?"

Qi Yanfan looked up distractedly, and in front of him was a middle-aged woman with a round waist, who was always fussing over pennies, Qi Yanfan was a little displeased to see her.I just heard her say: "I didn't see you coming out when I was young, why do you dare to go out when you grow up?"

Li Xiaogai stared at the white clouds above her head in a daze, and did not speak.

"Looks like I'll be your mother when I grow up..."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Xiaogai glared at the woman angrily, with small flames burning in her eyes.

Qi Yanfan caught his abnormality, squeezed his hand under the cart, turned his head and said to the woman, "Auntie, why did you break my clay pot?!"

"What, what?" The woman didn't react for a while.

"Auntie, look," Qi Yanfan pointed to a small clay pot in front of her, trying to put on an innocent look, "The handle has been touched off, so I can't sell it for money. Losing money..."

Qi Yanfan took advantage of his young age, and the inner core of a person who had been in a social university, so he was not in a hurry to tell lies.

"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" The woman immediately became angry. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. She definitely can't eat the loss of a few pennies, so she yelled loudly, "I didn't break this. of!"

"Auntie, I saw it with my own eyes. You may have been so busy talking that you didn't pay attention..."

"Well, you little shameless, dare to frame me!" As he said that, he made a gesture to roll up his sleeves and rush forward.

"Oh, Sister Yang, why are you so angry with the children?" Someone who has a good relationship with Qi Yanfan came to persuade him, "It's just a matter of a few pennies."

"Hmph, you dirty bastard, just wait and see."

Qi Yanfan looked at the back of the woman leaving in a hurry, but he was not worried at all, thinking that the man himself was very guilty.

"Hey, this is the Yang family's appearance, and I can only consider myself unlucky when I meet her."

"Thank you folks, the discounts are still the same if you buy more."

"Thank you Xiaoqi..."

After selling for a while, the two of them didn't linger much, so they pushed the cart back.

Qi Yanfan was pulling at the front, and shouted back: "Why can't you pull more and more jars after selling them?"

Li Xiaogao came back to her senses, blinked and gave a strong push.After a while, Li Xiaogai's husky voice came from behind: "Why did you contradict that bad woman?"

With the sound of the wheels turning, Qi Yanfan almost didn't hear it.

Finally opened the box.He stopped, turned around and said, "You said she was a bad woman, and you don't like her?"

"Well," Li Xiaogai straightened her waist, her face was a little unhappy, she opened and closed her mouth a few times, and said, "Let me tell you, will you laugh at me like her?"

"Why, you and I are friends."

"They look down on my mother," Li Xiaogai said with difficulty, "I don't know who my father is, my mother gave birth to me without getting married, and she got seriously ill... Later, they all said I was a wild child, My mother..."

"Okay, let's not talk about it, I know." Now Qi Yanfan probably knows why Li Xiaogao would rather like him as an outsider than deal with the villagers.

He nodded Li Xiaogai's red nose, and said, "Your mother raised you so hard, and what others said is not true. Your mother also hopes that you live happily, and don't cry because of those bad people's words."

"Hmm." Li Xiaogai pulled her crumpled clothes embarrassingly, and said to Qi Yanfan: "Besides uncle, you are the best to me. I will call you brother from now on, okay?"

"what?"

"Brother, you don't know, that woman surnamed Yang is terrible," Li Xiaogai sniffed, "You have to be careful that she retaliates against you."

"No way... I don't think she knows if she broke the jar herself."

"She also has a son, although he is studying with his master, but he is not honest, so he must not make friends with him," Li Xiaogai said angrily, "The last time he went to the town to buy lotus root, he still hated half a catty of lotus root. Woolen cloth!"

Qi Yanfan choked for a moment, shocked by this logic.

"I see that Yang Quan gave something to your cousin Li Jianye last time. Don't eat it. This man is so sluggish. Be careful and feel sick to your stomach."

"What, he sent that jar of pickles? Tell me carefully..."

When Ji Tingyu came to the door, Qi Yanfan and Li Xiaogao were chatting excitedly together, and they almost wanted to climb on the table.

"Cough, Yan Fan, it's time to go home."

"Hey, why are you here?" Qi Yanfan asked in surprise.

Ji Tingyu said helplessly: "It's almost dark, I think you haven't come back yet, so I'll come to pick you up."

Qi Yanfan immediately ran over, leaving Li Xiaogao with an unsatisfactory expression on his face.

Ji Tingyu took out a handkerchief from his arms, unfolded it, and picked up a piece of sesame candy from it, "Open your mouth."

Qi Yanfan opened his mouth obediently, the burnt aroma of fried sesame seeds rushed into his nose first, and then the sweet and faint taste of sugar began to spread on the tip of his tongue.He squinted his eyes and clicked and chewed a few times, the fragrance remained on his lips and teeth.

"Aren't you tired? There's more here. I'll take it after I finish eating."

"I'm not tired." Qi Yanfan took the handkerchief, folded it carefully and put it in his lapel.

"Let's go, take these clay pots back."

Ji Tingyu picked up the jar tied with rice rope, and asked a little strangely: "What are you buying so much for?"

"Pickled vegetables." Qi Yanfan replied very naturally.

"Isn't there still at home?"

"Let me tell you, the person who pickled that jar of vegetables is bad, so don't have much contact with him."

"Oh, I just helped repair the roof of the academy, so I don't know each other."

"I'll tell you..."

The two were gossiping all the way, Ji Tingyu followed behind Qi Yanfan, followed him, and walked briskly towards home.
