country small landowner

"Brother..." Qi Bao called weakly, then pouted, and the villain complained first, "You don't even know that I was thrown in an unfamiliar place by myself, it scared me, big brother Where have you been, and don't pick me up!"

Qi Yu's stomach full of anger was choked back directly. Originally, he was planning to ask the teacher for the crime, but now he became the one being questioned.

"Brother," Qi Bao ran to Qi Yu's side in small steps and hugged Qi Yu's arm, "Why don't you go to Qi Bao? And Qi Yi," Qi Bao still forgot to complain, "Why did you put Xiao Uncle, I was left alone at someone else’s house, and I was terrified.” Telling you to ignore me last night, you knew you were drinking with Xu Jibai there!Of course, the worst thing is the latter.

As soon as Qi Yi was mentioned, Qi Yu became even angrier, and knocked Qi Bao on the head, not willing to use his strength, "How dare you say that Xu Xiaozi wants to bring you back, and you have to rely on King Min for everything you say, but now you learn to be a villain." Have you filed a complaint first?"

Qi Bao kicked his toes, "Well, you can't blame me, I drank a sip of wine last night, and then fell asleep while watching the fireworks. Qi Yi wants to take me back, But I don't remember anything, I thought he left me there!"

"You still dare to drink? What did I say? Before you turn 15, you are not allowed to touch alcohol. You just ignored it?"

Saying that he slipped his tongue, Qi Bao stomped his feet secretly, making a mistake, a big mistake.Sure enough, Brother Qi continued: "From today until the Lantern Festival on the 15th, you are not allowed to leave the house, and you have to go to your brother's place to say hello every day."

"Ah? Don't do it, brother..."

Qi Yu scowled, "No haggling is allowed, otherwise the time will be doubled."

Qi Bao puffed his cheeks, turned his head and walked towards his yard, ignoring this domineering elder brother.

Qi Yu frowned and saw that Qi Bao had disappeared, then turned to Xu Jibai and said, "Xu's boy is here, let's find Qi Yi, Qi Yi is in his own yard, isn't Zhang Run here? I'm with Zhang Run, go and have a look."

Xu Jibai bowed and saluted, but did not leave immediately, "Uncle, are you so worried because the other party is the regent?"

Qi Yu sighed, and did not answer Xu Jibai's question, but instead asked: "You were at the banquet yesterday, did you feel something was wrong?"

"Does uncle mean the relationship between the king regent and the little uncle? The king regent intends it, but the little uncle is not unintentional. There were quite a few people at the banquet last night. I want to come today..."

"Word has spread all over the capital, right?"

Xu Jibai nodded slightly, "Uncle, don't worry too much, I don't think King Min looks like...Maybe he just hasn't seen someone like Little Uncle, so he's curious, so he..."

"Do you think your little uncle is attracted to the prince?"

"Maybe..." Xu Jibai felt a little panicked when he thought of the way Qi Bao looked at King Min the night before, "Why don't I go and accompany little uncle?"

"Alright, I'll send someone to ask Qi Yi and Zhang Run to come over too, so that he won't be left alone. The Xu family... Xiaobai, go and have a look first, and I'll let someone show you the way."

Although Xu Jibai felt a little strange about the title "Xiaobai", he still bowed his hands respectfully and thanked him.

When Xu Jibai entered Qi Bao's yard, Qi Bao was leaning against the fence in a daze.

Although it is winter, there is a big sun shining, and it is not too cold outside.But Xu Jibai still ordered his servant to get a big hairy cloak for Qi Bao to put on.

Qi Bao only adjusted his posture so that Xu Jibai could wrap the cloak around his whole body, and then continued to be in a daze.It was rare for Xu Jibai to see such a quiet and non-aggressive Qi Bao, and he couldn't help staring at him in a daze.

The two of them were silently in a daze, until the two who came together, talking and laughing while walking, broke the tranquility.Qi Yi took Zhang Run's hand and greeted Qi Bao with a smile.

Qi Bao took a few glances at Zhang Run, then smiled and waved his hands and said, "Come inside, it's very cold outside."

"Yes, little uncle." Zhang Run spoke in a soft voice, quite different from his brother who had never left the country.Qi Bao thinks that Zhang Run, who looks quite sweet, is the standard of "brother" here.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Xu Jibai touched his nose and followed into the house.Qi Bao's bedroom is very simple, Qi Bao is very afraid of the cold, so he directly chose his own bedroom, the warmest place to talk to them.

In the bedroom, there is a bed, a warm couch, two charcoal basins, an octagonal table, several stools neatly placed close to the table, several pots of green bonsai plants, two pots of unknown blooming Small broken flowers, as well as garlic seedlings that Qi Bao raises in long wooden boxes, although the whole interior is very simple, it gives people a sense of vitality.

Although Zhang Run was soft-spoken, he was a lively person. After talking to Qi Bao for a few words, he was no longer afraid of this fabled and beloved little uncle.

"Little uncle, is this... a narcissus?" Zhang Run squatted beside the wooden box, pointing at the garlic sprouts and asked, "Why is it packed in such an ugly box, let me help you move it to a flower pot. Ah, I didn't expect There are still such kinds of narcissus, as expected, the countryside is different from us!"

Qi Yi's face changed when he heard this. Zhang Run is a simple-hearted person, and he often speaks without thinking. Although he has no bad intentions, he is not so attractive to listen to.

Qi Bao laughed loudly, and squatted down next to Zhang Run, "Do you call it Narcissus? It's a good name, haha. When we were in the countryside, we all called it Suan Miao."

"Ah?" Zhang Run opened his mouth wide, "Is this a garlic sprout? I thought it was a narcissus. But, at this time, aren't the vegetables all grown?"

Really a curious baby, "Yes, yes, but you must know that the growth of vegetables requires three conditions: air, temperature and water. Now that there is air and water, as long as the temperature is suitable, for example, now The indoors are as warm as spring, which is the right temperature for vegetables to grow, so...the garlic sprouts grow."

Zhang Run was taken aback by what he said, garlic seedling air, water, temperature, what is air?Zhang Run is not one to hide his thoughts, so he just asks if he has any questions.

Qi Bao explained patiently: "Air, just like us, vegetables also need to breathe." Qi Bao opened his mouth wide, blew it haha, and inhaled roaringly, Zhang Run was amused and laughed, Exhale and inhale like Qi Bao, "The same goes for vegetables? Hahahaha..."

The two laughed together, but they still felt that they were not having enough fun, so they simply sat on the ground and continued to laugh.Fortunately, there was a fire dragon burning under the floor, and the ground was warmed up, so Qi Yi let the two of them sit on the ground.

Compared to Qi Yi who was worried about whether the two of them would get cold, Xu Jibai thought more, especially about the "air, temperature and water".If it is planted on a large scale, excluding the corresponding charcoal expenses, it is believed that there will be a lot of income to be able to sell fresh vegetables in this winter.

After looking forward to the bright future, Xu Jibai continued to stare at Qi Bao in a daze. This little fat man is really easy to surprise people.However, with such a good idea, it is impossible for the little fat man to have not used his brains. Now, it seems that he has no idea of ​​​​large-scale planting.

Qi Bao and Zhang Run had something in common, and Zhang Run was no longer attached to Qi Yi, but sat on the ground with Qi Bao and chatted in a low voice, laughing from time to time.

Qi Yi shook his head helplessly, and poured tea to drink on his own. It seemed that he was quite familiar with Zhang Run's self-acquaintance and leaving him aside from time to time.

Touching the back of Xu Jibai's hand, Qi Yi filled the cup in Xu Jibai's hand with tea, and then asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you, you've been absent-minded all day? Didn't your third uncle say he'd give you a picture?" What's up, brother?"

Xu Jibai frowned, "It's not like you don't know me. I'm interested in getting married. Naturally, I can get it myself. Why are they so fussy?"

"Third uncle is also thinking about you. You have turned sixteen in a few years, and you have reached the age of engagement. It's good to see more, there will always be something pleasing to the eye."

"I'm really grateful for his kindness. Since he didn't want me because of a brother, he doesn't have to pretend to be a loving father now."

After all, it was a family matter of the Xu family, so it was hard for Qi Yi to say anything. As his cousin, he was just too stubborn, and the knots accumulated over the years could not be resolved by himself in just a few words.

Just when Qi Yi was worrying about Xu Jibai's family affairs, Xu Jibai threw out a sentence that almost didn't blow him up, "What do you think, if I propose marriage to my uncle and want to marry your little uncle, how about it?"

Qi Yi stared at Xu Jibai dumbfounded, "You...you...you...you..."

You haven't written anything for a long time, Xu Jibai smiled and didn't care, "I'm just joking, don't take it too seriously."

Qi Yi opened his eyes wide and looked at him for a while, then blinked, "You scared me to death, let me tell you, just tell me this, if daddy finds out, be careful of your skin!"

Qi Yi breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and took a sip of tea. "Bah! Xiao Hei, change the pot of tea, the water is cold, how do you serve little uncle?"

Hearing Qi Yi's order, Xiao Hei, who was waiting outside, hurriedly responded and came over to exchange tea.After Xiao Hei left with the teapot, Xu Jibai turned his eyes away from Qi Bao, glanced at Qi Yi casually, "Swallow the tea in your mouth."

Qi Yi swallowed the tea, wiped the corners of his mouth with his fingers, turned his gaze back from Zhang Run, and looked at Xu Jibai.

"What if I'm serious?"

"Cough cough cough..." Qi Yi suddenly coughed violently, which completely alarmed Qi Bao and Zhang Run, and the two turned their heads to look at him together.

Realizing his gaffe, Qi Yi hurriedly said to the two of them: "It's okay, it's okay, cough cough... I choked on drinking water!"

The two of them once again gave him a disdainful look in the eyes of "you idiot", then turned their heads and continued to chirp.

Qi Yi coughed twice, took two deep breaths, and then said to Xu Jibai: "What did you say?"

"I said," Xiao Hei came in with a new cup of tea, Xu Jibai poured a cup of tea and took a sip, "This tea is too hot, next time I will boil the tea and let it warm before bringing it in, be careful not to burn me Uncle."

Xiao Hei was terrified by his cold eyes, and hurriedly replied: "Yes."

Xu Jibai waved his hand, Xiao Hei hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Qi Yi looked at the person in front of him. In the past, he felt that he was very familiar with this person. He went to Guozixue class together every day, and got along day and night. Even Xiu Mu would go to drink and talk together from time to time, but at that moment, he suddenly felt Xu Jibai in front of him was very strange.

The person is still the same person, but the feeling is a little different. He can't say it well, but he can feel it.
