green grass on the stream

When the Chinese New Year was approaching, the shopkeeper Chen brought a truckload of fresh fish to the village to sell.

On his carriage were two large buckets filled with water. Several large silver carp, herring, and grass carp showed their dark backs in the water.All the old and young in the village surrounded his cart tightly, and Qi Yanfan also came to join in the fun after Li Xiaogai's notice earlier.

This time he came alone.

Ever since he knew the shocking news in his belly, although it was a bit awkward, he also slowly began to accept it.At least he obediently drank the medicine prescribed by the old doctor before, and his body gradually recovered.

Perhaps it was to show off his masculinity, to prove that he was just a man with one more skill and did not need Ji Tingyu's constant protection, so he strictly asked Ji Tingyu to let him go alone this time when he went out.He thought, it was in vain for him to live one more time, who is not a big man who stands up to the door.

In front of Chen's cart, Qi Yanfan also squeezed forward and looked inward. Without artificial feed and hormones, such a big fish is really rare here.Qi Yanfan had never seen such a big fish intact in the vegetable market before, and they were usually sold in pieces.Moreover, the meat of this kind of big fish is relatively rough, and many modern people who live more and more delicately do not hesitate to buy it and eat it.

Qi Yanfan saw it fresh, they hadn't eaten fish for a long time, so they boiled fish head tofu soup, braised fish pieces in soy sauce, marinated a few pieces and ate slowly.In the end, he negotiated a joint venture with a family in the village and bought one. He paid for the first half, and that family took the second.

Qi Yanfan had just skewered the fish with straw when someone came over and asked him, "Oh, Mr. Qi's family bought such a big fish."

Hearing the sound, Qi Yanfan turned his head to look. Isn't this rich-faced middle-aged woman the matchmaker who came to his house to matchmaking?

I was chased away by him last time, what are you doing here again today.This kind of person is often useless and does not get close to him, Qi Yanfan immediately became alert, picked up his fish, and looked at her warily.

"What a coincidence, we met again. Do you still remember me? I'm Aunt Zhu." The woman pressed her temples and said with a smile on her face, "Let's find a place to sit and tell you something."

"But—I'm not free." Qi Yanfan quickly picked up his fish, turned around and ran out of the crowd as if flying.

"Young Master Qi, wait a minute!"

Qi Yanfan looked back, "Be good, I saw that Aunt Zhu was riding a simple two-person chariot with Luo Yu piled on her waist, being carried by two men and walking quickly on the mountain road.

Qi Yanfan was shocked, this really haunted him.Taking advantage of the distance between them, he pretended to turn his head to look at the scenery and didn't hear it, and he walked quickly with the wind under his feet.

In this way, you chased each other and refused to give in to each other. Seeing that he was about to get home, Qi Yanfan was mentally negligent, slipped and fell hard.

He fell to the ground and grinned his teeth in pain, almost unable to recover.He rubbed the position of the tailbone with his hands, and his strong self-esteem in front of strangers supported him to barely prop up his body and stood up pretending to have nothing to do.

Just moved a few steps forward, he suddenly found that the fish in his hand was gone.

He lowered his head to look around, only to find that the half of the fish was sliding slipperyly against the grass surface all the way down the hill.He tried to go forward to pick it up, but the sharp thorns of wild wolfberry vines blocked his way, and he could only watch helplessly as the food bought for money slipped into the weeds, and eventually became out of sight and out of reach.

Qi Yanfan was very frustrated.

When he went out today, he told Ji Tingyu that he was also a grown-up in his own right, but it was nothing more than going down the mountain, buying fish, and going up the mountain, so don't worry about it.On a deeper level, since getting together with Ji Tingyu, Qi Yanfan has always taken the role of being well taken care of. He wants to stand on the same side as Ji Tingyu and act more independent and mature.

But now, everything looks as if he can't do anything without Ji Tingyu - the clothes are dirty and the fish are gone.

Why is it like this, he clearly wanted to reassure Ji Tingyu... How disappointed should he be with him now...

The master and two servants behind him chased after him, seeing Qi Yanfan standing there, Aunt Zhu showed a professional smile again: "Master Qi, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qi Yanfan rolled his eyes and immediately fell to the ground with a "low oil".

Aunt Zhu was startled, a little confused.

Qi Yanfan acted with sincerity, released all the pain he had suppressed just now, and couldn't help saying: "Oh, my leg hurts so much, it must have been broken, what can I do!"

"You, are you alright?"

Qi Yanfan squeezed some tears, and grabbed a man's trouser leg and shook it: "What are you chasing me for? What if I broke my leg? Who will do the housework? I still have to work as a helper. It's going to take a while." Missing wages...you have to pay me, you have to pay me!"

Aunt Zhu on the chariot was terrified by his shaking, and hurriedly said: "Stop, stop, don't shake, don't shake..."

"And my fish, my fish is gone, you have to pay me some money!"

When Aunt Zhu heard this, she was a little angry. She originally took the business because the other party paid more money, otherwise she wouldn't have put on such a cold ass with a shy face.Even if she endured the humiliation, she was also angered by Qi Yanfan's unreasonable spiel: "It's none of my business if you fall by yourself."

"I'm not going to stumble when I walk slowly. Come back with me. I'll ask my two older brothers to judge and see if you still pay me."

Aunt Zhu hated him so much: "Good boy, how dare you blackmail Aunt Zhu's money!"

"I'm a reasonable person. I'm not afraid to go to the county magistrate. What are you doing chasing me with two big men? Could it be that you want to teach me a lesson because of what happened last time? If I fall down, you will always is responsible."

Then Aunt Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a soft tone: "I misunderstood, I have something serious to tell you..."

"I'm afraid, you go, go, I don't want you to lose money. If you don't go, I'm going to call someone, I'm always justified."

"You..." Aunt Zhu turned pale, "It's okay, it's my bad luck." She pressed her handkerchief to her forehead, waved her hand and let the man carry her down the mountain again.

Seeing them walking away, Qi Yanfan got up and patted the dirt on his body, and walked back step by step while supporting his waist.

On the half slope, Ji Tingyu, who had just finished cutting the sheep grass, saw him like this, his pupils dilated for a moment, and even with the basket on his back, he came to Qi Yanfan in a flash.

Qi Yanfan was taken aback, and after seeing that it was Ji Tingyu, he threw himself into his arms.

"What happened?" Ji Tingyu hugged him in vain, not daring to use force.

"I fell down," Qi Yanfan said with some embarrassment, "I also lost the fish..."

"Are you all right, did you fall somewhere?" Ji Tingyu asked nervously.

"The tail still hurts." Qi Yanfan unconsciously began to act like a baby.

Ji Tingyu turned his back to him and squatted down: "Come on, I'll carry you home for inspection."

"Yeah." Qi Yanfan lay on Ji Tingyu's generous back, warm body temperature came from the place where the two met, and he asked in a low voice: "Am I very useless, I can't do such a small thing well..."

Ji Tingyu said: "In my eyes, you don't have to do anything special, and you don't have to prove anything. Fan'er is good enough."

Forget it, they look good like this, just right.

Qi Yanfan, who was thinking about it for a moment, gave Ji Tingyu a sticky kiss on the back of the neck.
