Xiaoxi has always felt that she is too stupid in recent months, and often cries because of this. The reason is that half a year ago she discovered that she can know by calculation when her father will come back. Although Xiaoxi, as a family member, can also find out a lot about
The news about her father's return home schedule, and there are two elders who like her very much can provide her with the latest schedule. However, the two elders will never directly help Xiaoxi calculate when her father will return home, even if they help her calculate.
Most of them can only say, about a certain day, which is often not accurate. However, due to various factors such as the number of people and class changes, she is a three-year-old child, and she is really powerless in the combined calculations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Fortunately, if she wants to be precise,
Knowing that my father would come back one day, he could go find brother Xiaofeng who opened a restaurant in the city.
Li Xiaofeng is now the accountant and clerk of the largest restaurant in the city, "Fuxiang Restaurant". In addition to his schoolwork, he often helps out at the restaurant at home. On weekdays, he always likes to hold one hand behind his back and straighten his waist, even in the store.
Even though he is dressed like a waiter, he can't hide his elegant scholarly spirit. Although his interactions with others are a little plain, people who are a little familiar with him feel that this Li Xiaofeng is actually very gentle and humble.
Li Xiaoxi felt that apart from the fact that brother Xiaofeng always liked to hold her and never let go, which made her and brother Xiaofeng always have to operate with one hand when they went out to eat delicious food, which was very inconvenient, everything else was good.
.
At this moment, Li Xiaoxi ran to Li Xiaofeng again and held up the guardian information given by the elder with both hands: "Brother Xiaofeng, brother Xiaofeng, help me calculate, help me calculate."
"Xiaoxi, please don't let others see the information given by the elder." Li Xiaofeng looked at Li Xiaoxi, who was running out of breath and anxious, and his eyebrows like willow buds were wrinkled together.
A gentle smile that only comes to Li Xiaoxi.
Li Xiaoxi looked around and saw that there were high counters on three sides, and there were other people there. Then he stretched his head out from the counter and saw only a table of two people drinking tea in the far corner by the window. He quickly lowered his voice: "
Xiaoxi knows, brother Xiaofeng should help Xiaoxi calculate it. The great elder said that this is the latest information from dad, so it must be very accurate."
"Xiaoxi, please sit down and rest for a while. Brother Xiaofeng will do the math for you right away." After saying that, he carried Li Xiaoxi to the stool and sat down. He turned around and took a pen and paper from the counter and sat next to Xiaoxi. He took Li Xiaoxi's hand.
Just as he was about to start calculating the information, he saw Li Xiaoxi quickly clasping his little hands behind his back after giving the information. Li Xiaofeng looked at this strange behavior and didn't understand what it meant. He just smiled and thought that this world was indeed 'not as cute as Li Xiaoxi'.
Every time Li Xiaofeng calculates, he will explain every step to Li Xiaoxi in detail. Whether she understands it or not, he doesn't know when Xiaoxi will be able to calculate the time by himself. But he feels that if one day Xiaoxi can calculate the time by himself, he will definitely do it.
I am very happy and will be very grateful to myself. But by then Xiaoxi may no longer be so close to me.
Li Xiaofeng soon made the calculation, then regained his emotions and said to Li Xiaoxi with a smile, "See, the time has come out."
Li Xiaoxi looked happy and confused and shouted with a smile, "Brother Xiaofeng, tell me quickly, tell me quickly, is it tomorrow?"
Li Xiaofeng touched Li Xiaoxi's head with a gentle smile and said, "Xiaoxi is indeed smart again. Yes, it will be tomorrow and probably around nine o'clock tomorrow. If Xiaoxi is not afraid of being hungry, he can wait and see. According to Uncle Hongming's advice,
Get used to it, Xiaoxi can have breakfast with Uncle Hongming tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoxi jumped up happily and stood on the bench. She hugged Li Xiaofeng's head and kissed him hard on the cheek, "Yeah," and then ran back quickly. She thought that she had to go home quickly to inform the others.
The person then asked Uncle Fu and the others to prepare some delicious breakfast.
While running, he shouted "Daddy is back, daddy is back." This was the first time Li Hongming went on duty on the city wall since Li Xiaoxi's third birthday, but this time it was said that it was because the previous patrol had an accident, so the time
It takes longer than before.
Li Xiaofeng wiped the saliva on his face with his sleeve and looked at Li Xiaoxi happily as he ran away. He felt full of accomplishment and happiness. Although he couldn't see the smile on his face, he knew it.
The smile was so exaggerated that I quickly pretended to be calm and wiped the cheek I had kissed hard. I turned my head, raised my hand and looked at my sleeves, feeling a little regretful... and then I felt that I was a little perverted, and I couldn't do it.
In this way, I shook my sleeve and even wiped my face with another sleeve, and then went back to work.
When Li Xiaofeng turned out of the counter, he looked at the back of the stream leaving in the distance, and recalled the first time he saw the one-year-old girl holding back her tears. It actually reminded him of his mother, whose memory had begun to blur.
That day, because there were only a few doctors in the city, the number of people burned in the fire at Xiaoxi's house exceeded the limit that could be treated at the same time. So Li Hongming voluntarily gave up the immediate treatment and planned to simply treat the wounds alone in the room.
Li Xiaofeng, who was called to the restaurant to help by his father, was mainly responsible for delivering water to the room where the wound was treated. When Li Xiaofeng pushed open the door of Li Hongming's room, he was stunned by a one-year-old girl who was half-kneeling on the ground to clean Li Hongming's wound. His eyes flashed.
Unblinking, he kept looking at Li Xiaoxi who was cleaning Li Hongming's wounds, with a strong look that didn't want the other person to worry about him, and a look that resisted not wanting to blur his eyes.
The image of his mother holding his five-year-old self in the hospital bed suddenly returned to Li Xiaofeng's memory.
The next day, Li Xiaoxi had just arrived at Maoshi and was already sitting on the steps at the entrance of the mansion, dragging his chin with his hands and looking ahead with wide eyes.
The street in front of Li Xiaoxi's house has always been deserted except on market days and when his father and uncle are at home. After all, the street under the high wall is often poorly lit and slightly narrow. It is about two meters wide and occasionally a carriage passes by.
I had to lift the chessboard used by the old men playing chess on the street.
But now, because the little girl came home and made a happy fuss yesterday, all the residents in the street know that their male protagonists will be coming home around 9:00 today. Many servants have already brought their last meal when they went out to buy groceries.
After the fresh ingredients came home, the street suddenly became lively. Everyone who saw Li Xiaoxi would greet her and praise her for being sensible and cute. Li Xiaoxi also responded one by one, but his thoughts were all on that street corner.
My father said that the corner is magical. As long as you are thinking of someone in your heart, that person will appear from that corner. But you must be patient while waiting. You must not run out of the corner to look on the street.
Because magic is magical, it disappears when you turn a corner, and the people you might want to appear will not appear.
In Li Xiaoxi's memory, that corner is really magical, as if everyone she misses appears from there. For example, once she really wanted to eat candied haws, Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, appeared from there with candied haws; the little girl who had been missing for three days appeared from there.
The yellow dog also ran back to him from there, so Li Xiaoxi firmly believed in the magic power of this corner.
Although it is already summer, the temperature before dawn is still very low.
The housekeeper Li Chenfu saw that the time had passed and opened the door completely. He looked at Li Xiaoxi who still kept the same posture and looked at the corner. For the first time, he felt the word "poor" from the little girl. Then Li Chenfu smiled self-deprecatingly and left.
He squatted down next to Li Xiaoxi and asked softly: "Miss, are you cold, are you hungry, are you thirsty?" Li Xiaoxi just shook his head, his eyes still staring at the corner of the alley. Li Chenfu knew the temper of this young lady, so he looked up
Looking at the sky that was starting to turn white, he smiled to himself again and turned around without saying anything and entered the yard.
At Chen time, there were people waiting at the door of every house. At Si hour, there were only a few people waiting at the door of each house. At noon, only Li Xiaoxi and the doormen were left in the entire alley.
Everyone speculated that they must have miscalculated the date, and it was normal to temporarily change classes or something. Besides, his men may not be in the same class as Li Xiaoxi's father, Li Hongming. But Li Xiaoxi knew that brother Xiaofeng would not make a mistake.
, never missed it. But her father didn't come back, and she didn't understand why.
Li Xiaoxi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart and kept crying unconsciously. After the doorman noticed it, he suspected that his eyes were dry because he had been staring at one place so long. After all, such a young girl sat motionless on the steps so early. The doorman noticed
Still, she stepped forward and called "Miss..." Li Xiaoxi fell towards the stairs, and the guard quickly reached out to catch her.
Li Xiaoxi fainted and the fairy tale ended when she woke up.
Li Xiaoxi's father died, and his uncle Li Hongyi lost a leg on the third day and was rescued by the elder.
After the backbone of the family collapsed, the family business fell into the hands of a few idle uncles and aunts. Within a year, it was almost impossible to save the house. Later, Ting's mother took Xiaoxi and her uncle to marry a man from the Hong Mansion.
The guest named Li Sishu had returned to his parents' home. At least he didn't see the home that had finally been revitalized. In the end, even the tables, chairs and benches were ruined. However, Li Xiaoxi still occasionally went to the steps of the courtyard gate.
Sitting and staring at the corner of the alley.
It is said that Li Hongming's team was not actually on patrol at that time, but to search and rescue the previous patrol team. In the end, they were attacked by monsters without even seeing the shadow of the previous patrol team. When the Great Elder led the team to arrive, they only rescued
Uncle Li Xiaoxi and three others were killed. The great elder was seriously injured as a result. There were even rumors in the city that the great elder was in seclusion to recuperate and that he might not be able to last much longer. In the following ten years, although there was no new great elder
He took office, but all the people in the outer city thought that the great elder had passed away.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xiaoxi has lived in the big house of Hong Mansion for ten years. During this period, except for her grandfather who dragged his illness to the back door of Hong Mansion to visit her before his death, everyone seemed to have abandoned her. Li Xiaoxi has been living in Li Xiaoxi. He lives in a small side room in the courtyard of Si Shu.
Li Xiaoxi, who is already a young girl, now has a delicate face. Compared with other people of her age who were full of vigor and long body, she only has a sick look on her face. She is not single as much as her peers, but she is also extremely thin and seems to be no longer cute. I have nothing to do with her anymore.
One time, Elder Hong met Li Xiaoxi by chance on the street. He stopped and looked at him for a while and then just asked the steward next to him in a calm tone if he had treated Li Xiaoxi badly. The steward thought for a while and said that maybe it was just that the little girl was developing late, so the matter was not followed up. Already.
In the past ten years, only people in Li Xiaoxi's courtyard know that on the surface, Li Xiaoxi is still living the life of a young lady. In fact, behind closed doors, her life is not as good as that of a servant in the family. Nowadays, Li Xiaoxi rarely goes out and spends all day doing some work in the backyard. When doing chores, everyone has long forgotten that she was the cutest Li Xiaoxi in the city back then.
Although he lived with the servants in the backyard to make ends meet, the servants often laughed at this young mistress who might not become a young mistress in the future. Jealousy meant that Li Xiaoxi did not receive equal treatment among the servants and was often bullied.
