pick up a date

After eating together at home, Qin Jiu's depression never disappeared, and he kept paying attention to Qin Zao all the time, trying to see from his face whether he was suspicious or not.

Grandma Qin was very puzzled when she saw the expression of her eldest grandson, so she walked over and asked Yao Xiaonian, who was chatting with her son, "What's wrong with Xiaojiu?"

Yao Xiaonian told the story of what happened at the door of their house. After hearing this, Grandma Qin understood why her grandson was like this, but she was not worried. It didn't matter if it was his own. They live together, they are already a family, and they will never stop kissing just because of these.Qin Mancang, who was discussing with Yao Xiaonian about the construction of greenhouses, was excited when he heard this, thought for a while and asked him: "Did the old lady say anything else?"

"No."

Qin Mancang also wanted to say that Qin Zao should have known it a long time ago, and he even asked him, why am I not like my father or my mother?

The little child didn't know where he learned it from. He looked at himself with wide eyes, looking forward to and afraid, maybe too scared, and he replied by himself: "Dad, I must be so good-looking. It’s because of your strengths that you can’t see it, right?”

How did he answer, as if following his words, he picked up his little baby and hugged him around his neck, and the two of them held hands, playing and riding high in the yard: "Daddy's little baby is so smart, our family Who doesn't know how good-looking Zaoer is, let's ask mom to come out and ask her if she is..."

When resting at night, Ji Qingluo packed a warm water bag, which was made of old-fashioned cyan rubber, and it was too hot to use directly, so she put a flannelette cover on it, printed with small florals, and embroidered by her Put a red date on it, it's a small sign, it's on many things of Qin Zao, such as on the shoulder strap of the schoolbag, inside the cuff of the school uniform jacket.

The reason for this is that when she first went to school, she sewed a small pineapple-shaped schoolbag for Qin Zao by splicing. It can be worn diagonally, and it can only hold some snacks and a few pencils, which cannot fit in textbooks. These are all held by Qin Jiu.

Qin Zao likes this little schoolbag very much. It contains the candies his brother gave him and the grasshoppers that his brother made for him.On the first day of school, he took it off to go to the toilet and it disappeared.Later, Ji Qingluo made another one for him, but he didn't want it anymore, because he saw someone in the preschool recite the exact same one.Since then, most of his things have been embroidered with red dates. It can be seen that he is also stubborn and proud.

Knocking on the door, Qin Zao came to open the door and saw her call "Mom".Ji Qingluo handed over the warm water bag and patted his head: "Sleep, baby."

"Good night, Mom." Taking the hot water bag, Qin Zao put his arms around his mother's neck and kissed her on the cheek.

Ji Qingluo felt that his heart had been wiped with honey. They raised a young son who could act like a baby and coax others. He was completely different from the eldest son, and they had a sense of accomplishment.

Turn off the lights, it’s fourteen today, there are dark clouds outside, the moon hasn’t come out, and nothing can be seen outside the window, Qin Zao turned around, moved like Qin Jiu, and asked, “Will there be a moon tomorrow?”

"Yes, the weather forecast is sunny." As he spoke, he heard Zao'er's stomach growl twice, and he stretched out his hand to touch it.

Qin Zao blushed a little. He felt a little embarrassed and said secretly, "I drank milk secretly today."

Qin Jiu didn't take off his hand, fearing that his stomach would hurt, and warmed him up, "You know that?"

Qin had already understood the abrupt sentence, he nodded, and said, "Yes."

"Afraid?"

"Not afraid."

"Then go to sleep." The room returned to silence.

The next day there really was a moon. In the late evening, after eating Jiuniang Lantern Festival, which is their local glutinous rice ferment and handmade small glutinous rice balls, I took the basket of lanterns to the gate and waited for the other three to come. The girl had just climbed to the top of the tree, and the moonlight had not yet risen.

Grandma Qin shouted in the yard: "Did you bring the candle? Where's the lighter?"

The two agreed one by one.

When all the people arrived, the lanterns were distributed. If one was broken, Qin Jiu didn't have any interest in playing with it, so he said, "I'll make a lantern with Zaoer."

"No, no, I'll make a fight with Kong Qu." Zhang Wensheng said hastily. On the Lantern Festival, he and Kong Qu played a lantern, and the two of them held a handle...

"Brother, why don't you fight me?" This was Zhang Wentong's doubt.

Zhang Wensheng: "..."

Several people put red candles in and lit them.

Anyway, in the end, it was Zhang Wentong who carried two lanterns alone, and five people wandered around the dam with lanterns. There are three dams, all of which have handover points, and they haven't finished exploring so far.The brigade was still singing opera, and the sound of opera floated leisurely, guessing that there would be activities of guessing lantern riddles.Until a few people walked to an old bridge, the opera sound could still be heard clearly.

This bridge is really old. The stone arch bridge is a bit dilapidated, but it doesn't delay a few people who like it. Under the bridge is a clear stream. They always like to come here for catching fish and swimming.In the moonlight, the creek under the bridge shone brightly, and several people sat on the pier.The moonlight is really bright tonight, and I can clearly see the expressions on the faces of the people next to me.

No one spoke for a while.

There was singing "Sister Lin fell from the sky, like a light cloud just out of the shaft."

Zhang Wensheng also sang, he only knew this sentence, without opening his throat, he hummed to the water in front of him, but he couldn't speak behind him, so he shut up.

After singing this song, "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" was changed to "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai". This Zhang Wensheng will be heard more, and when he sings: "Brother Liang, if you love peonies, return home with me."There are good peonies in my family, and it is not difficult for Brother Liang to pick them.

He sang along, consciously replacing beams with holes, and when he finished singing Liang Shanbo's line, he followed up again: "green lotus leaves and clear water ponds, mandarin ducks are in pairs."

Kong Qu was listening carefully, but suddenly there was no sound. He turned his head and found that Zhang Wensheng was looking at him. Seeing him looking over, Zhang Wensheng seemed to know what he was going to ask, and replied: "The following words are a bit inappropriate."

Kong Qu pricked up his ears and listened, and sure enough, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai became angry at the end of the song.The candlelight in the lantern was very bright, and the flames jumped so high, he thought, this fire is about to reach me, otherwise why would his face and ears be hot?

Looking up, the two looked at each other and separated.The young man's face was so green, and his eyes were so bright.

Zhang Wensheng thought, "His face is red, and the tips of his ears are also red, so cute."

Seeing Zhang Wensheng's bright and youthful face, Kong Qu felt hotter.

The candles in the lantern were almost burnt out, Qin Zao was so cold that he started to sniff his nose, Qin Jiu had to interrupt the two over there: "Go back, the moon is already high."

Several people walked back, Zhang Wentong didn't want to carry the lantern anymore, his hands were cold.Qin Jiu took it over, and Qin Zao acted like a baby to him: "My feet hurt from the cold."

Putting Qin Zao on his back again, the three of them walked forward, the distance was slightly widened, Qin Jiu looked back, and could vaguely see the two people holding a lantern together, walking forward next to each other.

There are continuous poplar trees all around, ups and downs, and there are birdsong from time to time.

Thinking about the books I read a few days ago, sure enough, after the [-]th, spring will come soon?

The author has something to say:
