The wood mage and the native brother

Ji Xiaomei often goes crazy with her friends and is not at home, so Ji Deng especially told Ji Xiaomei,

"When you come home, if you see the door of the fourth room is open, don't dare to come home, just take the fourth room as our usual place to live, and go back there, understand?"

Looking at Ji Deng's serious face, Ji Xiaomei knew that the matter was serious, so she seriously remembered these words in her heart, and nodded with Ji Deng with a solemn face.

After confessing to Ji Xiaomei, Ji Deng bit his lip and hesitated for a long time, but finally went to find Fei Nuo and said something similar.At the end, avoiding those dark green eyes, he said in a low voice,

"Just stay at home, Ji's family... I can handle it."

Reasonably speaking, Ji Deng would rather face Granny Fang alone than to let Fei Nuo get involved.

Fei Nuo didn't know why Ji Deng made such a decision all of a sudden, he obviously avoided it before.

It was something that happened in his absence.

The slender knuckles knocked on the wall of the cup, and Fei Nuo's mind was full of thoughts.However, looking at the firmness on the boy's face in front of him, Fei Nuo finally agreed to the boy's request.

Let him take a closer look, in his eyes gradually different from the previous Ji Deng, where exactly has changed.

……

Since he planned to face Ji's family directly, Ji Deng stopped going out when the three scholars of Ji's family were not in the county, and often went around the street dressed brightly.

Ji Deng's skin has become much fairer and tender these days, and his body shape is not like it used to be when the wind blows. On the contrary, it is very well-proportioned. Putting on beautiful clothes, it can also be said to be radiant. Walking on the street often attracts people to turn their heads. Look, it's just that most of them looked away angrily when they saw him combed into Ahma's bun.

Those who have a master can't recruit them.

Although Ji's family has great eyesight and low abilities, but due to their limited pockets, it is really not easy to come to Dahuai Hutong, but Dahuai Hutong is a lively place to walk a street away. There are all kinds of teahouses, taverns, and theater troupes. There are more than a few streets nearby. People with money like to spend their time there. Besides these people, there is Ji Shuo from Ji's family who also likes to go there.

There are five scholars in Ji's family, and Ji Shuo is the one who didn't read anything, even Ji Huan, who is a few years younger than him.Perhaps he was a bit self-defeating, and with Fei Nuo being such a hard-working brother-in-law who offered to pay for money, Ji Shuo simply pretended to be in the school every day, focusing most of his attention on the street in front of the school, and went to school after class. Taking the copper coin that Mrs. Xu gave him, he went for a stroll.

These days, Ji Hai is saddened by the matter of Qiu Wei, Ji Laoxiu is also concerned about this, Ji Huan is talented in studying and can get some care, Ji Shuo is completely forgotten.

Ji Shuo was not annoyed, he simply skipped class and came out to play.Many masters in the school look down on Ji Laoxiu's selfishness, and they are happy to see Ji's younger generation not studying hard, and they will not take the initiative to expose it.Because of this, Ji Shuo is even more at ease.

Ji Shuo carried a bag of melon seeds and dangled aimlessly in the street. Whenever he met a theater troupe or a performer, he went up to join in the fun, and when he saw the colorful Willow Tower, he also wanted to go in and have a kiss.However, Mr. Gui suspected that he was penniless, so he stopped him from entering.

While Ji Shuo angrily cursed "a dog's eyes look down on people", he also had no choice but to change direction and continue walking.As he walked, a familiar figure flashed in front of his eyes, his crooked body straightened up, Ji Shuo rubbed his eyes, could it be that he misread it?

Even though he thought so, Ji Shuo couldn't help but followed carefully, and saw the figure enter a shop full of people a few steps away.

Ji Shuo followed the past and looked up, the four large characters on the plaque were shining brightly.

drink!

Ji Shuo gasped.

Although he is playful, he also knows what is innocuous and what is hurtful under the guidance of his elders.

This man is really bold!

It's just that he didn't see the man's appearance clearly, but when it was late, Ji Shuo should go back to school and go home with Ji Hai.So I just carefully wrote down the four words on the plaque, and then walked away step by step.

……

Everything was arranged at home, Ji Deng changed back to the old linen bunt, and walked all the way back to the village empty-handed.

The autumn is rustling, and the wind is especially cool in the morning and night, not to mention walking on the stumbling dirt road and directly pouring cold air into your face.Ji Deng only drank the bowl of mixed soup from yesterday morning till now, his stomach is rumbling and the fire is even more unbearable.

Ji Deng clutched his stomach and couldn't help but smile wryly.For him, this time in the past was when he should pack his backpack and rush to the county, and it was a time when he was in high spirits.Being raised by Fei Nuo for so many months in Fei's house, it is really delicate.

Thinking of Fei Nuo, Ji Deng couldn't help tightening his hands covering his stomach, and his eyes became firmer.

The county is quite far from the village, and Ji Deng made a special detour around the side road.When Ji Deng walked all the way back to Ji's house in Xiaohe Village under the cool wind, most of the households had smoked their kitchens, and they must be making breakfast.

In order to catch up with the school's morning reading, the few scholars supported by Ji's family are often already on the road at this moment, so Ji Deng accidentally staggered the direction and avoided them.

Seeing the gate of Ji's courtyard appear in sight, Ji Deng clenched his fists and stepped into the gate of Ji's house.

There is not much difference from the same season before the lights go out.It's just that Brother Yan did Ji Deng's work, and he seemed to have just returned with a basket on his back. He went around the front room and went to the backyard, probably to chop up pig food.

Ji Jiang and Fang Shi were drinking from a bowl at the head of the fire room, with a big steamed bun in their hands.Seeing the end of autumn, the last bit of work in the field has to be finished quickly. Ji's family only has this husband and wife to go to the field, so they have to eat enough to be energetic.

As for Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Xu, Ji Deng glanced over but didn't see them, probably huddled in the room again.

Sister Xi was loading baskets for Fang's two by the gate of the courtyard. When they got up together, they saw Ji Lantern at the door. They first looked at the worn linen clothes on Ji Lantern's body, and then turned around and said,

"Father, Mother, Brother Deng is back."

When Fang heard the words, she looked up, and she saw Brother Deng standing at the door.Look again, Ji Deng is wearing the clothes he wore when he was at Ji's house, where is Fei Nuo?

Fang frowned suspiciously, put down the bowl and pulled Ji Lan in.

"How do you dress like this? Is it cold? What about the good clothes your husband-in-law bought for you?"

Ji Jiang also put down the bowl, and rubbed his rough hands and looked over worriedly, but he was only in his thirties, but his face was already old.

"Brother Deng, what's the matter?"

Ji Deng's heart is slightly astringent, but he still falters,

"Arnuo's business has some problems, and the clothes... are all pawned."

"Did it?!"

Fang's brows frowned even tighter, even the clothes were appropriate, what kind of problem could there be!

Just as she was about to ask more detailed questions, Mrs. Fang had already pushed the door and came out with a cold snort.

"When did you come back?"

Ji Deng lowered his head and said,

"Just, just these few days..."

Mrs. Fang didn't know if she believed it or not, so she smirked and drank,

"Why did it take you so long to come back?! Where did you go wild?!"

No matter what he thinks in his heart, Ji Deng only pretends to be okay,

"me……"

When Fang saw her, she smiled and smoothed things over.

"Brother Deng just came back, first sit down and drink some water, let's chat slowly, why didn't your husband come back with you."

When Ji Deng heard the words, panic flashed across his face, and Xu, who was being rushed over, looked into his eyes, swallowed what he wanted to say, and was not in a hurry to enter the door, and listened to Ji Deng's answer.

Ji Deng twisted his fingers, staring at the straw sandals on his feet, thinking about going back and remembering to change the finished shoes for Fei Nuo, but he said timidly,

"He...he's busy with business and can't spare time."

Mrs. Fang snorted coldly,

"You can be so busy with any business that you can't even come back. Don't make excuses that you don't want to spend time with poor relatives like us."

Hearing this, Ji Deng suddenly raised his head and waved his hands in panic,

"No, no. He's really busy."

But he hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything else.

Mrs. Xu had a panoramic view of Ji Deng's reaction, and she couldn't help feeling suspicious, so she stepped into the fire room with a smile on her face.

"It's alright, alright, it's fine if he comes back next time, it's good that Brother Deng comes back this time, I haven't seen you for so long, it makes people think badly."

Ji Deng timidly showed a grateful smile to Mrs. Xu.

Xu then took Ji Deng's hand and talked affectionately.Fang looked at it and frowned, Ji Deng came back this time and it was quite different from when he went out. Although he became white and fat, he was wearing a sackcloth bunt again.I was about to ask carefully what was going on, but I was so angry that Mrs. Xu held on to him!

Mrs. Xu didn't care if Mrs. Fang was angry or not, and chatted with Ji Lantern.Ji Deng obviously listened absent-mindedly, opened his mouth to speak several times, but stopped talking.

After all, Fang couldn't stand it anymore, so he cut off the conversation,

"Brother Deng, do you have anything to say when you come back?"

Hearing this, Ji Deng immediately froze, and in the eyes of those present, it was acquiescence.

Seeing it in his eyes, Xu's heart skipped a beat, but his face was still gentle and virtuous, and he frowned worriedly.

"That's right, Brother Deng, if there's anything rare, just tell me, and we, as adults, can give you an idea."

Mrs. Fang's face was dark,

"He's not there when we need him, but when we don't need him, he's thinking about coming back. The abacus is really good!"

This was not pleasant to say, and Mrs. Fang scolded "partisan eyes" and "stupid ghost" secretly, but she couldn't say anything on the surface, so she had to coax the old lady Fang to shut up, and just sat on the side for Brother Deng. Turn your face away.

Ji Deng lowered his brows and eyes, his hands were almost twisted into twists, he hesitated for a long time, and before the old lady Fang Xu's patience ran out, he clarified why he came here.

"I want, I want, I want to borrow thirty, thirty taels."

After finishing speaking, as if the boulder in his heart had been removed, Ji Deng raised his head and looked at them pitifully,

"I want to borrow 30 taels."

"What?!!"

Everyone in Ji's family stared wide-eyed in surprise, and even Sister Xi in the yard couldn't help but turn pale in shock.

"What the hell is 30 taels!"

Fang clutched her chest, 30 taels!It's enough for Ji Jiakuan to live comfortably for five or six years!Why do you want so much? !

Mrs. Xu was also quite frightened, so she calmed down and asked,

"Yeah, where's Fino?"

"Yes! Where's the younger generation named Fei?!"

Granny Fang had a rough voice.

Ji Deng was so interrogated that he lowered his head again, his eyes were foggy, and after a while, he gathered into large drops of water and hit his legs.

"I...I...Arnold has a problem with his business, and he needs to use 30 taels to make up for it..."

When Granny Fang heard this, she felt like a cat that stepped on its tail.

"What? Why did he ask me to pay for the money he lost?! I didn't get any benefits but I wanted to pay for his sins?! How can there be such a good thing?! Get out of here! Get out! Come to my door!"

As he said that, he threw himself in front of Ji Deng, pushing and shoving Ji Deng out.To read novels on m.yanqing-888.net, please log in to Romance 888
