Boa

Grasshopper appeared in Li Qi's hand.Bao'er took it strangely, her big eyes were full of curiosity, she picked up the grasshopper's leg and pulled it for a long time, looking at how Li Qi made it.Li Qi looked at him amusedly, a newly formed grasshopper was about to be torn apart by him again.So I took a few broken filaments from palm leaves, let him watch it carefully, and explained it to him step by step.

There was a knock on the door, and Bao'er rushed out to see who was visiting.After a while, he led the little carpenter into the house.The little carpenter has come several times since Dr. Mo's disappearance to inquire about Dr. Mo's news, but each time he returns disappointed.

When Li Qi saw the two people entering the room, he put down his things and planned to go to the room to make tea for the guests.The little carpenter hurriedly said no, saying that he would just sit for a while and leave.Even Li Qi didn't agree with him about those vain courtesy and politeness.So he called the little carpenter to sit next to them just now, and continued to teach Bao'er how to weave grasshoppers.

Seeing the intimacy and harmony between the two, the little carpenter had a slight envy flashing in his eyes.After hesitating for a while, he still asked, "Master Li, do you have any news about Mo Nan?"

Li Qibian's grasshopper paused for a while, shook his head, and apologized, "No." He really has no news about Dr. Mo, unless he asks his third brother for clarification, or asks Xu Qing to help him find out.But if he really wanted to cut off contact with the past, the two of them could not be contacted now.

He can't guarantee how long the peaceful life can last, but at least he won't take the initiative to destroy it.So for the little carpenter, he can only apologize.He believed that Ziyan left by himself, and as for why he left, maybe he would be able to reveal the answer when he came back.He had a premonition that Ziyan would come back.

The little carpenter forced a smile on his face, and said, "This rascal, it's best to go as far as you can, and never come back."

Bao'er tilted her head and looked aside, tugged at the little carpenter's sleeves, her big eyes were clear and clear, and said, "Little Shitou, don't laugh if you don't want to, I miss Dr. Mo too."

The forced smile froze on the little carpenter's face. After a while, Fang came over, patted Bao'er on the head, and said with a wry smile, "I'm older than you, so I want to be called Brother Qin, and don't be like that ruffian. And , Who would have thought of that rascal, he'd better never come back, or I...I..."

Bao'er looked at him strangely, as if to say, why don't you admit that you were thinking about Dr. Mo, the little carpenter "I" for a long time, but couldn't continue.Rolling his eyes, he simply said discouragedly, "Okay, I hope he will come back soon, okay."

Bao'er nodded, with a teachable expression for a child.Seeing him like that, Li Qi was amused and annoyed, so he patted his head to make him restrain himself.This little carpenter is usually very sharp in front of Dr. Mo, but now he can even bully Bao'er.

Seeing the dejected look on the little carpenter's face, he comforted him, "Don't worry, Ziyan has always done things properly, this time he must have something important to leave suddenly, and he will definitely return safely."

The little carpenter nodded, chatting with the two about other things, probably because he was worried about Dr. Mo, he always seemed absent-minded, and left after a while listlessly.

Looking at the figure of the little carpenter leaving, Bao'er sat on the low stool and put his chin in his hands, his big eyes were full of worry, and said, "Does Little Shitou really miss Dr. Mo?"

Li Qi rubbed the top of his head and said, "Don't worry, Ziyan will be back soon."

Bao'er nodded, then raised her head suddenly, her eyes were full of nervousness, and she tightly tugged on Li Qi's sleeve, "You won't disappear suddenly like Doctor Mo, right?"

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then tapped his forehead, and said dotingly, "What are you thinking, I will take you with me wherever I go, that's fine."

Bao'er covered her forehead, said with a crooked smile, "You said, we will be together wherever we go."

Li Qi couldn't help but leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but smile along with him, "Well, everywhere...all together." The voice disappeared between the lips of the two.

……

Near noon, the two packed up their things and went to Old Uncle Li's house.Although Nacebi was not allowed to get married, she also invited many relatives.The Li family came quite a lot. The adults were chatting in small groups, the children were left unattended, and the wild horses were chasing and playing around in the yard.

Li An's son, Li Xi, saw Bao'er and Li Qi coming in, so he lost his partner and ran to the two of them, probably affected by the festive atmosphere in the adults' world, dressed in new clothes, with a beaming smile on his face Meaning, said, "Mr. Li, you are here."

Li Qi said with a smile, "Xiaoxi is wearing new clothes today, so she also came to help greet the guests."

Li Xi scratched the back of her head embarrassingly, and said, "Mr. Li, you go in and sit down first. My father and the others greet the guests, and asked me to take you in when you come."

Li Qi and Bao'er followed Li Xi into the room and sat down. There were already a lot of people in the room, and they all brought bowls of herbal tea and drank and chatted.Dried fruit snacks such as melon seeds and peanuts are placed on the table, and from time to time someone grabs a handful and eats them.

At noon, I heard the crackling of firecrackers outside the door and the laughter of children.It was the man's parents, relatives and friends who came to the door with gifts.Sure enough, after a while, I heard Aunt Li's voice calling guests to come in and sit down.After a while, a bunch of people poured into the house.

Aunt Li and Old Uncle Li walked in front, and an old couple stood next to them, who should be the man's parents.The old couple was followed by a young man with a very honest and honest face, probably the man who was talking about marriage with Li Hong.

After welcoming a group of people into the room and sitting down, the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Li An came out to say that dinner is ready.Everyone went out again, and three or four tables had been set up in the yard outside the house in advance, with bowls and chopsticks placed on the tables.When I went out and sat at the table, I just waited for the food to be served.The parents, grandparents and other in-laws of both men and women sit at the main table, and the marriage between the two parties is mainly discussed during the meal.

Li Qi originally wanted to bring Bao'er to find a table to sit at random, but he didn't expect that old Uncle Li came and asked him to sit at the main table.Li Qi had a moment of embarrassment on his face, after all, he sat at the main table, and his status was embarrassing.Then he declined and said, "Old Uncle Li, you can just sit down, I'll just sit at another table, and I will take care of Bao'er later."

Thinking of Old Uncle Li, he said directly, "You brought Bao'er with you. Mr. Li has seen the world, and he must have his own way of knowing people. You can't be joking when I ask you to help the matchmaker." After finishing speaking Then he dragged Li Qi and Bao'er to sit at the main table.

Li Qi smiled wryly in his heart, he really thought of Old Uncle Li as asking him to meet people was just an excuse.

23. The so-called foodie

As mentioned earlier, the main table is occupied by close relatives of both men and women.Li Hong's parents and elder brother and sister-in-law were of course on the Li family's side. Li Xi was too young, so he was asked to go to another table to be with other children.The man who told Li Hong was surnamed Lin, and his single name was Da. Lin Da's parents had only one son, and no other brothers or sisters.Therefore, Lin Da and his parents sat at the main table here.Li Hong is an unmarried girl, so she can't attend. At most, she watches secretly from behind the curtain.

Probably this is also the reason why Uncle Li invited Li Qi to the main table without any scruples. After all, if Li Hong is also at the table, it is impossible for the two parties not to be embarrassed.Most people in the village respect scholars and think that if they can read two characters, they must be more knowledgeable than most people in the village.It seems that Uncle Li invited him to be a matchmaker because he really believed in his vision.

Li Qi was entrusted by others, so of course he should be loyal to others.During the dinner, they carefully observed the words and deeds of Lin Da and his parents.It was discovered that this Lin Da could indeed be regarded as a person who could be entrusted for life.

Although Lin Da is not good at words, it can be seen from his behavior that he is a filial, honest and loyal person.From the conversation between his parents, it can be seen that they are two very kind and amiable old people. It is expected that there will be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when they get along with their daughter-in-law in the future.Li Hong married such a family, although there is no great wealth, but the family lives in harmony, peace and joy can still be imagined.

When he sat down, Li Ding helped his wife out and sat beside him.Calculated, Li Ding's daughter-in-law has been pregnant for seven or eight months, and her belly is protruding high.Bao'er watched from the side, her eyes widened and her mouth opened.

Hastily pulled Li Qi, pointed to Li Ding's wife, said incoherently, "She...she..." and compared her stomach.

Seeing his surprised look, Li Qi said amusedly, "That's because the child grew up in his aunt's belly."

Surprised, Bao'er pointed at Li Ding's wife and said, "How big is it?"

Li Qi knocked on his head, picked up the chopsticks and dished them into his bowl, and said, "Yes, when the child grows up, it will come out of his mother's stomach."

Bao'er frowned, "How long will it take to come out?" What if you can't speak, and your stomach is bursting, what should you do? He looked at Li Ding's wife worriedly, and touched his stomach. After giving birth to a baby boy, his stomach is bursting with the baby boy, and he still wants to be with Zhongxuan all the time.

"Well, it's said to be pregnant in October, so it should be around October." Seeing that Bao'er just kept asking him questions and didn't eat the food for him, she pushed his bowl in front of him and said, "Why do you want to be pregnant?" Ask these, and eat quickly."

After Bao'er figured it out, she nodded and took her chopsticks to eat.But after thinking about it, he became worried again, touched his stomach, why didn't his stomach swell, could it be that there is something wrong with Zai Zai.

Quickly pulled Li Qi's sleeve, looked at the other people at the same table, and asked nervously, "Zhongxuan, my, why isn't my stomach growing?"

Li Qi happened to be drinking soup.
