Boa

Wei's writing.

Unexpectedly, he still remembered the dead words "curing the root cause of agriculture" that he learned in the morning, and he fell silent. Although it was not very beautiful, there was nothing wrong.Li Qi was very pleased that little Bao'er was so smart, and he also felt a sense of pride.Suddenly feeling that Bao'er tugged at his sleeve, Li Qi looked at Bao'er.

"Zhong...Xuan, Zhong...Xuan." Although he couldn't pronounce the words clearly, Li Qi could still hear him calling him. He probably heard Mo Nan calling him that, but he didn't expect him to remember it. up.

Li Qi couldn't help feeling all sorts of feelings in his heart, since he came to the small mountain village, apart from Doctor Mo calling him that, no one else called him that.Now when he suddenly heard Bao'er calling him that, Li Qi really didn't know what the feeling was that suddenly surged up in his heart, he just felt like water overflowing the embankment, something that didn't know what it was suddenly surged out.

"Zhong...Xuan." Seeing that Li Qi was silent, Bao'er tugged at the corner of his clothes again, pointed to the rice paper spread out on the table, stared at Li Qi with wide eyes, "Zhong... . Xuan."

Li Qi probably understood what he meant. He wanted to learn to write his own name, and he couldn't help but feel warm. Little Baoer wanted to learn to write his name. Li Qi pointed to himself and said, "You want to write mine. name?"

Little Bao'er's little head immediately nodded vigorously, Li Qi taught him, nodding is "yes", shaking his head is "no".

Li Qi rubbed the top of his head, complied with his request, took a pen and waved his sleeves over the paper for a while, and the flamboyant "Li Zhongxuan" three characters stood on the paper.

Bao'er took the paper with Li Qi's name on it, stared at it all the time, and started to copy stroke by stroke, looking focused and serious. Li Qi looked at Bao'er's copy of his own name, but the more he looked at it, the more he was satisfied, and the more he looked at it, the more beautiful he felt.

Xiao Baoer wrote very seriously, and the name of Li Qi copied became more and more standardized. After about half an hour, Li Qi collected the paper on the table for fear that Xiao Baoer would be tired, and Xiao Baoer immersed himself in writing Finally raised his little head, and looked at Li Qi puzzled.

Li Qi carefully rolled up the paper copied by Xiao Bao'er, and said: "Let's come here first today, take a rest first, go to take a nap for a while, and then write after getting up."

Bao'er didn't speak or move, she frowned, and tightly clenched the pen in her hand, as if silently resisting.

Li Qi persuaded him for a long time before Bao'er finally let go of the pen in his hand, and reluctantly followed him back to the room.After Bao'er fell asleep, Li Qi took out the rice paper on which Bao'er copied his name that he had received earlier, and gently stroked his own name on it, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised, little Bao'er really knows how to buy people's hearts.Then he took out a wooden box from the low cabinet under the clothes cabinet, took out the key and opened the small lock on the top, there were several other things inside, Li Qi folded the rice paper and put it in carefully, closed the lid and locked it again Put it in the cabinet again.

Then he sat on the side of the bed and looked closely at Bao'er's sleeping face. It seemed that it was a very good decision to take in little Bao'er.

6. Settle down

In a blink of an eye, Bao'er has been here for more than a month, and the biggest improvement is that she can speak slowly and express her general meaning.On this day, Li Qi had lunch and was teaching Bao'er how to practice calligraphy when he heard someone coming to visit.Li Qi asked Bao'er to continue practicing calligraphy, and then went to the front room to receive guests.

In the village, unlike the big houses in the city, the doors are always closed. On weekdays, as long as people in the village are at home, they will not close the door.Whoever comes to visit, as long as the door of the host's house is open, you know that there must be someone in this house.Shout once or twice outside the door, and the host will come out to meet the guests.

Li Qi went out in search of sound, it turned out to be the eldest son of the village chief.The village chief's surname is Li, and most of his peers call him Old Litou, and juniors like Li Qi are called Old Li Uncle.The village head is a solid person, he always said that Li Qi has the same surname as Li, maybe they were still a family 200 years ago, and they took care of him a lot.

The village chief's family has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Li An, was apprenticed to the old shopkeeper of the restaurant in the town in the early years. In the eyes of the villagers, it can be said that it is a very beautiful and promising business.Li Qi welcomed Li An into the room and sat down, poured some tea, after chatting carefully, he realized that Li An had come to invite him to drink his younger brother Li Ding's wedding wine.

Li Ding is the second son of the village chief. Thinking that his elder brother had gone out, he voluntarily chose to stay at home to be filial to his parents and help with the work in the family's fields. He only heard about the engagement not long ago, and the good news came today.

There is a custom in the village, whichever family wants to hold a wedding, they always invite the whole village with wedding candies, and some close relatives even have to seal red envelopes to invite them.However, Li Qi didn't expect that Li An came to invite him to a wedding with a red envelope, so Li Qi hurriedly declined.Unexpectedly, this Li An was stubborn, insisting that the red envelope was given by his father, Lao Li, and if he wanted to return it, he would return it to his father.Li Qi had no choice but to accept it first.

Li Anben felt that he owed his younger brother a lot because of going to the city, but now that his younger brother finally got married, he felt extremely happy, and his whole face was full of red.Seeing that Li Qi had accepted the red envelope and accepted the wedding ceremony, he wanted to leave, saying that he would invite other people in the village.

When Li An came, Li Qi remembered something.Bao'er has been here for more than a month, but no parents or relatives have come to look for him. It is impossible for someone to look for him. If Bao'er wants to live here permanently, he must apply for household registration no matter what.But Bao'er's situation is special, and there is no evidence or witness, I am afraid that the government will not accept it.The village chief's family has lived here for several generations, and the village chief is in charge of some affairs between the government and the village on weekdays. He should know a few people who can solve Bao'er's household registration.

Li Qi called to stop Li An who was about to leave, and said: "Brother Li, do you know who should I turn to for the village household registration to make it easier for me to handle it?"

Li An: "My father should know about this. Mr. Li wants to apply for household registration?"

Li Qi hesitated for a moment, it is better not to tell the real situation of Bao'er, and said: "To tell the truth, Brother Li, he is my distant cousin, his parents are both dead, but he doesn't want his uncle to be ambitious, seeing how young he is... He was bullied, so he robbed the property left by his parents and kicked him out. I thought he was pitiful, so I took him in. He was discouraged by his relatives, and no matter what, he didn't want to be with those people as relatives. I thought about helping him move his household registration to come here."

Li An immediately said: "This is easy to handle, just go to his official government to get a household registration certificate."

Li Qi made it difficult: "But if we want to prove it, we must face that evil uncle again. My cousin would rather become a homeless person than face such people again, so I thought about it." Find an acquaintance and help him get a household registration."

Li An thought for a while, and said: "This is indeed understandable, why don't Mr. Li go to my house with me and ask my father?"

Li Qi thought that Li An was going to invite people to drink, and he didn't want to disturb other people's business, so he said: "Brother Li is going to invite people to drink, or I will take my cousin to visit the old man." Uncle Li, brother Li goes to work first, it's not like I haven't been to brother Li's house, as long as brother Li and old uncle Li don't mind bothering me."

Hearing what he said, Li An said boldly: "Where is it, for scholars like Mr. Li, we wish to go there a few more times, so that we can also get a taste of books, so that my boy can also become a man like Mr. Li." A learned man." Li An's son is five years old this year, and he also goes to school in Li Qi's Mengguan.

Li Qi: "Brother Li is too much for the prize."

Li An got up, "Then I'll go first, your brother will take the little brother to my house later, father is just free at home today, and then let my family cook some good food and prepare some rice wine, Let's talk again."

Li Qi sent Li An away, prepared some fruit and a snack he made, took Bao'er and went to the village chief's house.The village chief's house is not far from Li Qi's house, just a short walk away.

The store was open, and as Li An said, there were people at home.But it was impossible for Li Qi to stand outside the door and shout for someone, so he took the iron ring on the door and knocked twice.Soon there was an inquiry from Aunt Li, the wife of the village chief.

Seeing Aunt Li coming out, Li Qi hurriedly went up to greet him, handed over the things in his hand, and said, "Auntie, Li Qi is interrupting you."

Aunt Li took the things Li Qi handed over, and warmly entertained, "It's Mr. Li, fast forward, fast forward, as long as the person comes, what else do you bring, ah, this is the little golden boy brought here, it looks like that It looks like a New Year painting." Aunt Li saw Bao'er standing behind Li Qi.

Today Bao'er is wearing another winter coat that he bought that day. It is blue printed satin, and the neckline and cuffs are inlaid with white fluff. When he went out, Li Qi was worried that he would be cold, so he put on a rabbit fur scarf for him. .

Li Qi pulled Bao'er out and said, "Bao'er, this is Aunt Li, call someone."

"Aunt Li..." Bao'er shyly called Aunt Li, then hid behind Li Qi again.

"Hey, what are you doing standing by the door, go into the room quickly." Aunt Li responded, and quickly called Li Qi and Bao'er to come in and sit down.

The village chief's family should all be eating snacks, drinking tea and chatting in the main room. The eldest daughter-in-law He and the youngest daughter Li Hong avoided the guests and went back to the house. It is said that the second boy went to buy things for marriage. Seeing Li Qi come in, he greeted him to come in and sit beside him.Aunt Li brought tea and pastries, and seeing them talking, she also entered the room so as not to disturb them.

Li Qi introduced Bao'er, exchanged pleasantries, and explained why he came.Tell Ang Lee again
