Chapter 28: It's filial piety
Qiao Xi just went ahead and wrapped two large packages of buns in oil paper, each containing six. He also found a basin and put a dozen of them in. He put them all in a backpack, slung a kettle across his body, and went out.
It rained in the morning and the sun was not too hot in the afternoon, but after walking for a long time, I would still sweat.
In order not to cause trouble to Qin Jiashu, Qiao Xi chose a path with few people and meandered all the way.
When she arrived in front of Qin Jiashu's orchard, she looked around and noticed that there was no one there, so she called Qin Jiashu's name into the orchard.
However, she called a dozen times, but no one answered.
"Did he go out again?" Qiao Xi muttered to himself, pushed the wood away, and planned to go in by himself.
At this moment, Qin Jiashu suddenly appeared.
Qiao Xi was startled when he raised his eyes and stroked his chest: "Oh my god, why are you so mysterious?"
Qin Jiashu's eyes were dark and his voice was still extremely cold: "What on earth are you going to do?"
"Me? What don't you do?" Qiao Xi replied subconsciously.
She twisted her delicate eyebrows and thought, Qin Jiashu wouldn't think she was here to steal something.
Qin Jiashu stared at Qiao Xi for a few seconds, then turned away: "Why did you come in again if you didn't do anything? Didn't I tell you that it's not good for you to stay here if others see you?"
Qiao Xi pursed his lips: "We haven't done anything shameful, so there's nothing to be afraid of people seeing. I'm upright and not afraid of slanting shadows!"
Qin Jiashu: "You!"
She is obviously one year older than him, but she is as innocent as a little girl.
For a moment, he was speechless.
Sighing helplessly, Qin Jiashu lowered his eyes and said solemnly: "I don't like to interact with others too much."
"Oh." Qiao Xi blinked. This sentence was quite pertinent. In his previous life, Qin Jiashu almost lived alone.
Seeing that the girl didn't seem to take his words seriously, Qin Jiashu got a headache again.
What should he do to keep her away from him...
Just when he was worried about this, the girl suddenly took off her backpack, took out two large oil paper bags, and handed them to him.
"I'll give you a try of the soft buns I just made."
Qin Jiashu's face turned darker: "I don't need it."
Josie had long expected to be rejected, and she had already thought of an excuse on the way here: "You think I gave it to you for free, I'm here to repay your kindness."
"You saved Sirius, and you have repaid my kindness." Qin Jiashu turned around.
Qiao Xi stopped him: "Wait, one code is another code, you saved me when I fell into a trap, and you also saved me in the oleander forest, you saved me twice, I saved Sirius once,
After all, I owe you once!"
Qin Jiashu's mind couldn't turn around.
What algorithm is this?
Qiao Xi deliberately looked embarrassed: "I am a person with clear grudges. You saved me but didn't let me repay your kindness. I can't sleep well at night."
Qin Jiashu: "..."
While Qin Jiashu was in a daze, Qiao Xi directly stuffed the oil paper bag into Qin Jiashu's hands.
The girl's fingertips separated at the touch, so fast that no one had time to react.
Qiao Xi clapped her hands and picked up the basket again: "Okay, now I have repaid my kindness, I can sleep peacefully, and I won't bother you again!"
Afraid that Qin Jiashu would find another reason for rejection, she turned around and left quickly without giving him a chance to speak.
When she walked out of the orchard, she looked into the garden and saw Qin Jiashu maintaining that posture, standing blankly.
She bit her lip, feeling unbearable and emerging again.
…
It was a long time after the girl left that Qin Jiashu slowly came back to his senses.
The bun in my arms is still hot, and the temperature seeps through the oil paper bun and burns onto my skin.
But it wasn't as hot as his chest.
He gritted his teeth and looked at his fingertips. The place where the girl had accidentally touched seemed to still have residual warmth.
Even though it only lasted less than a second, he felt the delicate and smooth skin of the girl.
Just like her smile, it is so beautiful.
The sun shines through the shade of the trees and shines on the muddy shoes. In an instant, he wakes up.
She was just grateful to him, and he had better stop thinking nonsense.
Besides, they are from two different worlds.
…
After Qiao Xi left Qin Jiashu's orchard, he followed the path to the field where Mother Qiao and the others were working.
Mother Qiao saw Qiao Xi from afar, dropped her hoe and hurried to meet him.
"Daughter, didn't I tell you to stay at home? Why are you here?" Mother Qiao looked concerned and lowered her voice: "Did that coward Sun Hailan go to the house to embarrass you?"
Josie shook her head: "No."
Mother Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and started to blame again: "Then why don't you stay at home? Why are you coming to the fields when it's so hot?"
Qiao Xi looked at Mother Qiao's sunburned face and felt helpless: "Mom, you are all working in the fields. I just came here for a visit. What's the big deal?"
"Can it be the same? We are all used to the sun, and you haven't had much exposure to the sun. Besides, your foot injury has not been healed yet, and the ground is not easy to walk on. What if you get injured again?" Mother Qiao asked.
He sounds much more eloquent than Qiao Xi.
When it comes to being reasonable, Qiao Xi can't beat Mother Qiao.
She hugged Mother Qiao's arm and said coquettishly: "Mom, I made soft buns. They are still hot and very fresh. There is also cold water brought from the cellar. You can ask dad and brother to come and eat some.
."
After hearing this, Mother Qiao raised her eyebrows: "Where did the ground get so soft and you went up the mountain to pick it up again?"
Josie: "I'm bored staying at home and want to go out for a walk."
"You have good feet. The soil on the mountain where it has rained is very loose. If you are not careful..." Qiao's mother was worryingly teaching Qiao Xi when she saw Qiao Zhu, Aunt Qiao, and two others walking towards her.
As a woman, she suddenly changed the topic: "You girl! You are too filial! I took a bite and wanted to eat it, but the ground was soft, so you went up the mountain to pick it up for me. I have done so many good things in my previous life, and you are so filial."
The girl!"
The corners of Qiao Xi's mouth twitched.
This change of face is too fast.
She almost didn't keep up!
When Aunt Qiao heard what Mother Qiao said, she stopped and looked at Qiao Xi with admiration: "Did Xixi bring delicious food again?"
"No!" Mother Qiao sighed heavily: "This girl is really true. It rained this morning, so I mentioned it and said I wanted to eat the soft ground. Who knew she would run to pick it up as soon as the rain stopped?
She kept making steamed buns all the time and brought them to me specially. I’m so sorry, tell me what good things I said about her!”
Qiao Xi was so embarrassed by the praise that she scratched her head and said hello to everyone with a blushing face.
Aunt Qiao looked at Qiao Xi's well-behaved and sensible look, her eyes full of envy. She was the first to agree: "Xixi is so filial and hard-working!"
Hearing this, other people also said: "Xixi is such a good girl!"
Beside her, Qiao Zhuren, who had been doing farm work for most of the day and had a sunburned face and messy hair, was almost stunned.
God, is there any justice? Qiaoxi just made some food and brought it over. What's the big deal?
She had been working hard for most of the day, so why didn't anyone praise her?
