After listening to Mr. Qi's scolding, Qi Jing turned around and returned to his yard.

Just as I was about to enter the door, I suddenly heard a crisp and cheerful laughter coming from the next yard. "Dad, run away, don't let my mother catch me... Ah, Mom, please spare me, don't tickle me, Dad..." The little girl laughed so hard that she was so angry that she was accompanied by intermittent begging for mercy.

Perhaps he was being slapped in tragedy. He heard Dabai's angry scream. The family of three had a sudden stop. Then a new round of laughter rang out.

This time, Qi Jing knew that they were laughing, laughing at it as a real bully for it to play with the mother and daughter.

In their eyes, Dabai now must be stupid, right?

Qi Jing didn't want to listen anymore, so he quickly stepped into the threshold. Changshun followed him closely, serving and guarding.

Qi Jing didn't want to see him, so he let Changshun wait in the outer room in a cold voice. He entered the inner room by himself, stopped in front of the window, looked at the faraway sky and pondered, with a calm face.

His body became smaller, probably no longer had the memories behind it, so Qi Jing could understand why Dabai was willing to get close to him but didn't listen to him, but he couldn't figure it out, how could it be devoted to that little girl?

Just because she is really good to it?

Is it that important to be taken care of by others?

Qi Jing recalled the years he was in the clan.

Without elders, he grew up with some other orphans. At first, he was small and weak, and he relied on his tribe to survive and could not eat.

When you grow up a little, you have to hunt by yourself. No matter how severe the injury is, you can only find herbs and lick your own wounds.

When he grew up to be an excellent hunter, some tribe members gradually valued him, but he was used to being alone. Apart from giving them prey, he rarely contacted the tribe members and never thought about becoming a new tribe leader.

What really cares about him was his original grandfather and grandmother.

Qi Jing was not stupid. He could see that even if he was as strict as Mr. Qi, he would still be restraining and discipline him as a junior. Therefore, Qi Jing respected the two old men and did not talk to the two old men before because he was not sure that he was right.

I didn't expect that I could speak now. The girl he said the most was the little girl.

The scene of her letting go of Dabai and crying loudly appeared in front of her eyes again. Qi Jing was stunned for a while, and then a feeling of helplessness surged in her heart.

Even he would be moved by the sincere care of the two old men. Dabai, it was so small and lost his memory, so it was understandable that he was willing to follow her?

"Ajing, after dinner, my grandmother asked me to make bone soup. You can drink more so that you can take care of your health as soon as possible."

Old Mrs. Qi's loving words sounded outside, and Qi Jing realized that he had been standing in front of the window for the whole morning.

He turned around and watched a maid raising the curtain first. After Mrs. Qi came in, a maid held the table and put the bowls and chopsticks. The room suddenly felt a strong smell of food.

Qi Jing swallowed uncontrollably. He was not used to this place, but these foods were simply irresistible than the simple fire-grilled prey in the tribe.

Old Mrs. Qi sat on the kang and looked at him with a smile. At that moment, Qi Jing felt embarrassed to be seen through and spoke up, "Grandma, why didn't you accompany grandfather?"

He said that and walked over.

"Ignore him and either curse or stare at him all day long. My grandmother doesn't have the appetite when she sees him. How can she eat with my eldest grandson?"

Old Mrs. Qi personally served him a bowl of soup, "Come on, drink a bowl to make you feel good."

Qi Jing sat down cross-legged, took the bowl from the old man, and did not dare to look her in the eyes.

If he could go back smoothly, would he come back again?

If he couldn't, he would have been sad that the little girl had lost Dabai and the two old men had lost their eldest grandson, right?

But he still has to go back.

Qi Jing put down the bowl, his eyes fell on the mellow bone soup in the bowl, and he quickly had a plan in his heart.

After Old Mrs. Qi left, he called Changshun and asked him to go to the kitchen to find clean pig legs.

He... Dabai likes to bite things when he grows teeth.

A little girl and a familiar self should be easy to coax.

Standing under the walls of the two houses, Qi Jing looked at the trees of apricot fruits across the street and thought silently.

~

Next door to the Xu family, under the lush apricot tree, Xu You was playing chess with Jiang's family. Xu Jin sat aside with his chin and watched. Dabai was having fun in the distance.

On the day her father came back, Xu Jin wanted to stay with her father all the time. Even though she knew that Cui Xiao went to the city to buy a pet today, she might have bought a puppy. She also endured her curiosity for the time being and stayed at home obediently, enjoying the warm time of her parents.

No matter what Xu Youjiang thought, he tried his best to behave like a normal couple when he was together, fearing that his daughter would see something strange.

At the end of the game, Jiang lost.

She glared at Xu You with a angrily look. This man is dedicated to everything he does, why is he so serious about playing chess with her?

Do you really don’t know how to please women, or do you don’t want to please them?

Jiang's eyes were slightly dark, and he stood up and said to his daughter, "Okay, I lost, A Jin, you and your father will have another set. If you win, your mother will make you two more skirts."

Xu Jin sat opposite his father with a smile, turned his head to look at his mother who took her seat, blinked and said, "I don't want a skirt, can I change it?"

There was a short table next to it, with a plate of cherries and a wet wipe on it. After wiping his hands, Jiang pinched a cherry and stuffed it into his daughter's mouth, "What do you want to change?"

"I want my mother's pair of red jade earrings..." Xu Jin said after eating the cherries.

Jiang didn't even think about it, "No, you are still young and can't use that waiting."

Xu Jin pouted unhappily.

Xu You coughed, "A Jin wants it?

If you win, Dad will buy it for you.”

Looking at his gentle and jade-like father, Xu Jin endured it and refused to answer the conversation.

The money at home is in my mother's hands. She had rubbed jewelry with her father several times before, but her mother knew that it was bought for her, but she didn't even give her money.

Later, she instigated her father to lie, but her father was knocked over and scolded her for not lying.

Jiang turned his head and laughed, "He bought it, what should he buy it?"

After the two got married, Xu You gave her the salary. Apart from acting for her daughter, Xu You did not take the initiative to ask her for a penny of money, and his monthly salary was only three taels of silver. Even if he started saving now, he would have to save for two or three years to afford such a pair of earrings.

When Xu You saw Jiang smile, he also realized the disgust in his daughter's eyes, which was very embarrassing.

I don’t have inferiority complex, I just regret it and make promises easily.

He didn't know much about the price of women's jewelry. After getting married, he couldn't even buy her some gifts because of his salary. Even if he bought it, he probably wouldn't give it.

He dared not...

"Well, A Jin, my dad bought it is definitely not as good as your mom. Don't dislike it then."

He smiled and explained to his daughter, calm and open-minded.

"I won't dislike you. Dad is much more generous than mom!"

Xu Jin said and ran to his father, avoiding his mother's hand that was about to pinch her face. After thinking for a while, he said to his mother: "Mom, since you are so stingy, then I won't ask you for good things. Let's do this. I will win later. You, give birth to a younger brother for me! Brothers and sisters are destined to be gone. Can you give birth to a younger brother for me?"

Xu Jin felt that his younger brother was more interesting than his younger sister, and many people outside said that the Xu family would become a family. Xu Jin knew what that meant, so he hoped that his mother would give birth to a younger brother to block those people's mouths.

Jiang was so blushed by these words. When he saw this, he didn't dare to look at Xu You, he whispered: "What nonsense? Come back and play chess quickly. If you really beat your father, I will give you that pair of earrings!"

"I don't want earrings, I want my brother!"

Xu Jin leaned over and lay on his father's shoulder and acted coquettishly, "Dad, do you think it's OK?"

She wanted a younger brother, but she didn't understand the meaning of giving birth to a younger brother. She thought that as Madam Wang told her when she was a child, her father and mother would have a younger brother if she slept in a bed.

Is it OK...

A suspicious redness also appeared on Xu You's face and he looked at Jiang quietly.

Jiang had already lowered her head. She felt the man's gaze, and she could no longer sit still and just found an excuse to hide.

Watching her leave in a hurry, Xu You sighed secretly and asked her daughter to sit back, explaining vaguely: "It's all bad for the father, I can't give you a younger brother."

A Jin, don’t ask this in front of your mother in the future, she feels uncomfortable.”

"Why... I know I'm wrong, I won't say it anymore."

Seeing that his father looked sad, Xu Jin changed his words in time.

Yes, it is a good thing to have a younger brother, and my father and mother must also want it. Maybe there are some difficulties that my mother can’t have a younger brother?

Thinking of this, Xu Jin stood up nervously, looked at the front yard and said, "Dad, am I sad?

Then I'll go and avenge her..."

"No, your mother will be fine if you stay for a while.

Let's sit down and have a handful with dad."

Xu You had returned to peace and comforted his daughter with a smile.

Xu Jin smiled when he saw his father who had always cared about his mother the most. He knew that his mother was probably fine, so he was relieved and played chess seriously.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu You lost.

He beat Jiang's family to see her angry eyes, and he made his daughter to make her happy.

But this time, in addition to coaxing his daughter, Xu You also hoped that his daughter's wish would come true.

This year is the agreed year. After the Dragon Boat Festival, if she really gives up that person, and he will work harder, maybe she can truly accept herself?

After dinner, Xu You accompanied his daughter to walk the dog around the backyard, and then took her back slowly after taking her back.
