Son

A row of heads came into the crack of the door, looking curiously at the two figures in the room.

"Master wants to kiss my brother!"

"Master is touching him!"

"My brother's face is so red!"

"My brother has no clothes on!"

Shen Xu: "..."

Linqing: "..."

If you don't read well, you will disturb the atmosphere by pointing fingers!

Shen Xu coughed in embarrassment, and said sharply: "Who told you to come here, go back and endorse!"

A group of children pouted.

"I have to recite after school."

"You can enjoy the fire, and we are not allowed to run around."

There was so much chatter that Shen Xu's head grew dizzy.

"Okay, okay, come in, don't make trouble, and drive out whoever makes trouble."

A group of children rushed in, surrounded Linqing, looking up at him.Linqing was seen shyly, and shrank her head into the quilt.

Wang Ziqian touched Linqing's forehead, "Brother, your head is so hot, do you have a fever?"

Lin Qing hesitated, "No..."

Bai Xiaoxiao pulled Wang Ziqian away, and made a "shh" gesture to him.

Wang Ziqian looked puzzled, looked at Bai Xiaoxiao, then at Linqing, and finally looked up at Shen Xu.

Shen Xu smiled and said, "Go and help brother dry the clothes."

A few children then ran to get the clothes, each of them pulled one end, and started baking seriously.

Accompanied by a group of children, the time to hide from the rain is not so boring.Talking about some fragmentary words, unconsciously talked about Wang Ziqian's going to participate in the provincial examination.

Shen Xu said: "It's already May, and there's more than a month until the provincial examination, you need to study hard."

Wang Ziqian should be.

"Leave a few days in advance, then Suzhou will be full of people, and if you go late, there may not even be any rooms in the inn." Shen Xu instructed.

Wang Ziqian nodded, "Ziqian remembered."

Bai Xiaoxiao asked: "Ziqian, are you going alone? Or go with your sister?"

Wang Ziqian looked embarrassed, "My sister is a woman, so it's not good to go with me."

The festival of women's fame is the greatest, and the ladies of ordinary families do not leave their homes. Although the countryside is more unrestrained, they are not so bold as to show their faces before they are married.

Bai Xiaoxiao worried: "Then you go alone? You haven't even been out of town, how can you get to Suzhou?"

Wang Ziqian didn't speak, his fingers were right and right, and his lips were pouted, looking very tangled.

Shen Xu was so concerned with his sadness these days that he forgot that Wang Ziqian's parents were not there, so no one could send him to the city to take the exam.

"I'm inconvenient, otherwise I'll accompany you there." Shen Xu sighed.

For a while, I was worried about how Wang Ziqian would go to Suzhou. Some people said to ask the village chief to go, some said to ask Uncle Zhao, who often went out to catch goods in the village, to give him a ride, and Bai Xiaoxiao even said that he wanted to accompany him.After discussing it, it occurred to me that June [-]th is the busy time for farming, and it is estimated that no family has time to leave the field work and go for this trip.

There is no result after all, so it can only be shelved for the time being.

The children surrounded Shen Xu again, pestering him about Suzhou City.Shen Xu looked into the distance, and those furry horses, light and fat, happy and unrestrained past came to mind. With a sigh, he slowly talked to them about the scenery, people, and things in Suzhou City, and said that the shop was open for a few miles. The colorful silk, said that the arch bridge connects to the outside of the city, the water is shining and the horseshoes are trampling.

A group of children listened so fascinatedly that even Linqing felt as if he had returned to the beautiful and colorful city of Suzhou.

I don’t know who said that the rain stopped, everyone looked outside, and saw that the sky and the earth had become clear at some point, and the water mist formed a faint smoke in the mountains. The air was fresh and the scenery was beautiful. Wash, very refreshing.

"Go home!" A group of children ran out of the house noisily, took their schoolbags, and waved their little hands goodbye to their master.

Shen Xu watched them run away with a smile, then turned around, Linqing was still wrapped in a quilt, with a small head exposed as if thinking about something.

Shen Xu went over to touch the clothes, and said, "It's still a little wet, change it first, and then take a hot bath when you get home."

When the two of them left the school, it was getting late, the path was soaked in rain and was covered with mud spots, the umbrella sent by Linqing was not useful, and was caught by Shen Xu under his arm.

Linqing's shoes were still wet, stepping on the muddy road, more and more mud was clogged up, Shen Xu was a little better than him, but it was still difficult to walk.

Shen Xu turned around by chance and saw Linqing holding up his trousers, taking a step and slipping, like a toddler. He didn't think it was funny, so he handed over the umbrella in his hand, "Let me lead you."

Lin Qing was stunned for a moment, and slowly held the umbrella tail.

A warm current surged through his heart, and he greedily thought, it would be even better if this was Shen Xu's hand.

On the narrow field path, the two walked one after the other, with an oil-paper umbrella in the middle, like a red line left carelessly by Yue Lao.Linqing stared at the back of the man in front, at his tall bun, broad shoulders, slightly thin body, and knuckle-knuckle hands holding the umbrella handle. Looking at him, he felt A heart is about to jump out of my chest.

Why is it that when you are happy with someone, just looking at it makes your heart beat unbearably.

I don't want to just watch, I want to get closer, I want to hold his hand, kiss his lips, I want to tell him all my unspeakable thoughts, I want him to know that I like him, I want him to like me too.

"Shen Xu..." Lin Qing unconsciously said.

Shen Xu turned around, "What?"

Lin Qing met his clear eyes, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

He won't be happy with himself, and it's useless to say it, so let's just be happy with him silently.

Linqing said softly at the beginning, "it's nothing..."

But one hand touched the top of his head, Lin Qing raised her head in confusion, and saw Shen Xu's gentle face.

"Don't worry, I'm not sad." Shen Xu said softly.

Lin Qing blushed slowly.

fair enough……

The days are peaceful.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the days are longer and the weather is hotter. The fields are lush and green, and the farmers are working, the cows are mooing, and the insects and frogs are drumming.

Lin Qing was sitting under the tree in the courtyard with the rabbit in his arms, the warm wind made his whole body very comfortable, he felt lazy, and squinted his eyes to doze off.

Dazedly dreaming of the small courtyard of Shen's residence, one room next to the other, there lived more than a dozen women, all of whom were Shen Xu's favourites.

My room is the most corner one, not only the idiot forgets himself, sometimes even the servants forget that there is a male lady living here, there is always a meal, the sour plum is set in summer, and the charcoal fire is set in winter , if it is placed in the palace, this place is like a concubine in the cold palace.

Linqing dreamed that day when he was sitting in the yard feeling sad and depressed, he heard a familiar voice from next door.

It was Shen Xu who came.

Through a wall, he heard Shen Xu and Shu Yun playing, Shen Xu asked her what she was doing, Shu Yun said she was embroidering flowers, Shen Xu asked her what she embroidered, Shu Yun said she embroidered a pair of mandarin ducks.

Shen Xu laughed and said, what are you doing with embroidering the fake mandarin ducks? With such a good time, it's better to be the real mandarin ducks.

The laughter went into that room, Lin Qing's face was flushed, but her heart was twisted into numbness.

This is the first time I heard such a sound. At first, I was worried that the person would come towards me, and how I would hide if he came. Yes, never even asked.

Gradually, I no longer have any expectations, but when I hear his voice, I still unconsciously pierce my ears, for fear of missing a word from him.

It's always good to hear voices when you can't see people.

Otherwise, this long day, how to pass.

When he woke up, there were wet tears on his face, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

I am afraid that such a peaceful day will be lost one day, and that the loneliness in the past will return one day.

He sat quietly for a while, and the tears slowly faded away.Linqing locked the door and planned to go out for a walk.

The breath of summer has become stronger, and the surroundings are still green except for the green. After walking for a while, they feel hot. The farmers in the fields only wear short thin shirts, and from time to time they straighten up and wipe the sweat on their foreheads.

Looking at other people's fields with lush rice seedlings, Linqing couldn't help but think of his own failed small field.Walking footsteps to his one-acre three-point land, it is also lush and lush, but it is full of weeds.

Linqing glanced at other people's fields, and then at her own fields.

Miserable.

The rabbit in his arms smelled the scent of green grass and thumped to get down.

Linqing stroked its fur, slowly put it on the ground, and discussed with it: "I will let you graze, you are not allowed to run around, just eat here, obediently."

The little rabbit seemed to be able to understand human speech, and it really stood there, burying its head in the grass.

Linqing squatted beside it, stroking its soft fur.

This is the rabbit that Shen Xu gave him, and Lin Qing took great care of it, and couldn't help but confide in the rabbit some of his innermost thoughts, as if he had told the idiot.

"Xu'er, is the grass delicious?"

The little rabbit moved its ears and pinched its mouth.

"Xu'er, recently I always dream about the past, dreaming that I was sad in that yard. Sometimes I think that living here now may be a dream. One day when I wake up, I will be in that yard again " Lin Qing sighed softly, "I'm really scared, that yard is like a birdcage, no, it's more sad than a birdcage, there are still people teasing the canaries, but no one has ever come to that small yard."

He stared blankly at the water in the field, and then smiled self-deprecatingly after a while.

"I want too much, don't I? But people are always so greedy. If they get a little, they want more. In the past, when he didn't come to our courtyard, I hoped to be with him every day; together It's been a while, and I hope that he will stop being so idle and cheer up soon; now that he sees his mind at ease, he will treat people well from time to time, and I hope that he can treat me better, like me. He treats me the same..." Linqing looked at his own reflection on the water, it was a delicate and slightly melancholy face, he asked gently: "I'm too dissatisfied, right?"

The man in the water didn't speak, just looked at him quietly with a pair of confused eyes.

The shadow suddenly opened, and something flashed by.

Linqing withdrew her thoughts and followed the water pattern to look curiously.

There was another sound of water, and a blue shadow swayed past.

Linqing saw clearly that it was a crucian carp seedling two or three inches long!

There were fish fry in this barren field, Linqing was overjoyed, she hurriedly stood up and wandered around the field, looking carefully at how many fish were hidden inside.

One, two... Linqing was overjoyed, there were more than a dozen fish hidden in this square field, it was really unintentional.

Linqing was overjoyed. These dozen or so fry are really treasures from heaven. Maybe they can be sold for some money when they grow up.He still remembered the wish Shen Xu had told him, to open a piano studio in the town and let him be the piano teacher.Linqing didn't want to go to the town, it was enough to be able to teach children in the town.

He picked up the rabbit and hurried to the school, wanting to tell Shen Xu the good news.

Halfway through the run, I happened to meet a child after school, grabbed Linqing and asked him where he was going, and invited him to play hide-and-seek with him.

"I'm looking for my wife, and I'll play with you next time."

The child tilted his head, "Master and Wang Ziqian have returned home, brother, you can play with us."

Linqing was a little surprised, and thought, did Shen Xu go to visit her home?But if you go home late, you will always tell yourself in advance.

Maybe the township exam is approaching, so you specially go to tutor Wang Ziqian?Then why not in school?

Linqing suddenly thought of Wang Shanran, that beautiful and generous woman.

Shen Xu got along very well with her, often praised her for her talents, and even sighed and worried about her family's situation.Would Shen Xu like such a good woman...

With a thump in his heart, Lin Qing felt that he was thinking too much, but couldn't stop guessing.Hesitating between the two sides, he gritted his teeth and finally ran towards Wang Ziqian's house.
