Chapter 21 Sending away the god of plague
Yun Chunhua's words made both the old members of the Yun family change their faces.
Although feudal superstition is now broken, the older generation is still in awe of the things of gods and ghosts.
Yunxi looked at Yun Chunhua with a smile: "Cousin, you have a good memory. I really haven't been to school much. That is, before my mother died, I read a few textbooks with the teacher in the nursery in the city and learned mathematics. I was the best in the nursery. The teacher said that many people who went to middle school could not compare to me in counting and arithmetic."
These words are true or false. Anyway, the Yun family cannot investigate. She continued with a smile: "Later, my mother died, and my father sent me and Laidi back to the village. I remember clearly that my father handed my tuition to grandma and asked her to send me to school when the school started, but in the end the tuition was gone, so I couldn't go to school."
This incident is one of the few clear events in the original owner's memory. I think it is because the original owner has always been eager for reading that he left this memory to her as his heir.
Hearing her words, Old Mrs. Yun scolded in anger: "What are you doing here with sarcastic spirit? Do you think I was deliberately losing your tuition?"
"I'm afraid it's not lost, it's embezzled." Yun Xi said leisurely, glanced at Yun Chunhua, and the latter's face turned red and he opened his mouth to defend himself, but Yun Xi waved his hand impatiently, "Those are old things. Today I don't want to settle the old accounts, I just want to go out smoothly."
"Hunsheng, make up for the lack of money, immediately!"
Mr. Yun suddenly issued an order, and forcibly suppressed the possible spread of war.
Wang Guihua's face turned red and white again. She gave Yun Xi a fierce look, shook her hand out of the kitchen, but suddenly shouted at the door: "Why don't you make a sound when you stand here like this? You deliberately scared me to death!"
Hearing Wang Guihua's shouting, everyone in the kitchen turned their heads and saw a tall figure standing at the door of the room. It was quite scary to catch it unexpectedly.
What's even more scary is that the man was the new son-in-law of the Yun family, Qin Jianguo.
Yun Guangzu was the first to react, stood up and asked with a smile, "Jianguo, how long have you been here?" He hoped that Qin Jianguo had just arrived, and he had not heard of the previous farces and family scandals.
Qin Jianguo did not answer immediately. His eyes fell on Yun Xi's face, and then swept to the cupboard behind her and the coins on it.
As his eyes moved, the Yun family's face changed again and again. Mr. Yun directly greeted him: "Jianguo hasn't eaten breakfast yet, right? Come in and have a bite."
"I've eaten it, I'm waiting outside."
Qin Jianguo said the second half of the sentence to Yunxi, and then walked a few steps away.
The sun was blocked and shone into the kitchen slanted. The whole kitchen became much brighter, but Mr. Yun's face turned darker several times. He opened his mouth to scold Wang Guihua, who had not yet left: "What are you doing? Why don't you go get the money?"
"Isn't someone blocking me just now... Okay, I won't say anything, I'll get the money now." Wang Guihua muttered and left the kitchen.
Yunxi only ate an egg, but there was someone standing there waiting for her in the yard outside. She was inexplicably stressed, so she told Lai Di to continue drinking porridge, and she left the kitchen.
The sun shines on the man, half of his face is bright and half in the shadow, making him look more and more angular and cold and hard.
She walked over, and the man looked at her with his face, pursed his lips, so that he had to consider it even if he spoke to him.
"You... wait for me and it will be fine soon."
The man said "um" and withdrew his gaze and continued to keep his eyes on his face.
Yunxi keenly realized that his left leg was becoming more and more unnatural, but it was not suitable for him to stroke his pants legs for her to show him.
After returning to the woodshed, Yunxi hugged her small suitcase and quickly returned to the kitchen.
Wang Guihua arrived almost at the same time, and she slapped each dollar and a 50 cents on the cupboard and stared at her: "The money is here, count it clearly, don't cheat me again in the future!"
Yunxi ignored her words, saw that the number was correct, so he opened the lid of the wardrobe, pulled it away, and all the 20 yuan in pieces were swept into the small suitcase. There was a clamor, but it was a real bottom of the box.
Qin Jianguo subconsciously glanced at the kitchen and met a pair of shining apricot eyes, which made people's hearts brighter.
He immediately withdrew his gaze.
Yunxi was already accustomed to his indifference, covered the lid of the wardrobe and asked Lai Di, "Are you full?"
"Sister, I'm full." Lai Di immediately put down the bowl and used to wipe her mouth with her sleeves, but Yunxi's eyes swept her, she hurriedly took back her sleeves, "I'll wash my hands."
As he said that, he ran out of the kitchen and towards the water tank in the yard, and he inevitably passed by Qin Jianguo who was standing in the yard.
Lai Di secretly looked up at him, but Qin Jianguo caught his eyes. His eyes were dark and sharp, like a knife. She was so scared that she immediately lowered her head and ran towards the water tank.
When she scooped water to wash her hands and faces, she found that the terrifying man had carried two bags of food from her sister's hand, and then took the quilt in her hand, then glanced at her. Lai Di shivered and immediately said, "I'm done washing and can leave."
Yun Xi saw that Di was frightened by Qin Jianguo, so she walked over and took her hand: "Follow me, don't be afraid."
Lai Di nodded, but her body subconsciously hid back. It was not until she saw the terrifying man walking forward that she breathed a sigh of relief and followed her sister's footsteps.
The Yun family, no matter the young and old, came out to see him off and arrived at the gate of the yard. Mr. Yun suddenly called out to Yunxi without looking back: "Zhaodi, grandpa has something to say."
Yunxi turned around, stood outside the yard gate, and looked at Mr. Yun through the door and said, "Mr., please tell me."
Being polite and alienated, Mr. Yun suddenly remembered that since she came back from the Qin family's old house that day, she seemed to have never called him grandpa.
In fact, she rarely called in the past. She always lowered her head and worked, and occasionally she looked at him with a small face, which was completely different from her now.
"You..." He opened his mouth, but found that he could not find anything to say, because her eyes were too calm, which made him feel a little nervous.
This feeling is almost the same as when I learned that my youngest son was injured and could not stand it.
Seeing her face showing a hint of impatientness, he finally spoke again: "You and Qin Jianguo live a good life, and go home to find grandpa if you have something to do... Grandpa promised your father that he would take care of your sisters."
Yes, he did it, right?
He watched her grow up and see her get married, and he fulfilled his promise to his youngest son.
Yun Xi's mouth curled up a little curve and said, "I understand."
The sound was still floating in the wind, and the person turned around and left. She led Laidi forward, her steps firmly and never looked back.
