Chapter 550 Haven't Seen For Several Years (Part [-])
I looked around and looked around, but didn't see any figure, frowning frowning, wondering if I was delusional.

He turned and left, continued to fetch water, rinsed his mouth and washed his face, and went back to the house to rest.

Lao Tong and Zhi Changle came back not long after. Zhi Changle went to find Zhili and said that Liu Xianbao ran away as soon as he saw them. It was just an elderly grandfather who plowed some fields and helped him grow up. Once Liu Xianbao ran away, they were embarrassed to trouble the old man, and they would look for another opportunity, but the pheasant returned.

"It's so pitiful," Zhili said, "but wouldn't it be even more shameless? Why does he like my senior sister? If he wants to be born without family background, if he wants to be talented but not talented, he still dares to like it. To put it bluntly, who will marry me in the future? He who is unlucky, live a poor life for the rest of his life."

Zhi Changle was embarrassed and scratched his head: "Well, he is still young, why don't we be so serious."

"I'm young too," Zhili said, "The main reason is that he is annoying. If he doesn't bother my senior sister, I won't say that about him."

After Zhi Changle left, Zhili looked at the mortise and tenon album in front of him, but couldn't read it.

He raised his cheeks, thinking of that Liu Xianbao, who was so vivid, he couldn't see that the situation at home was so dire.

Forget it, don't think about it anymore, Zhili put away the books, blew out the candles, and went to lie down on the bed.

When he was about to fall asleep, he habitually got up again and looked out the window. The candle in the study was still on.

So he put on a coat and went to the kitchen to put the cakes he made today on a plate, and cut some fruits and put them aside.

Send it to the study as usual, Xia Zhaoyi is still reading.

Zhili put down the plate, glanced at the book she was reading, and couldn't help frowning: "Senior sister, you have read this book more than eight times."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "You're still counting for me."

Zhili looked at the two thick stacks of books beside her hand: "I don't understand why Master wants you to read these."

"Do you want to see it?" Xia Zhaoyi said.

Zhili shook his head, paused, and said: "Zhi Changle and Old Tong came back, and told me about the situation in Xialiu Xianbao's family. His background is very pitiful, and I said some... rather harsh things."

"He can't hear it, so just don't say it in front of him in the future."

"Little sister, what kind of person do you think you will marry if you get married in the future?"

"Why should I get married?" Xia Zhaoyi asked back.

"Uh," Zhili seemed to be choked, "Didn't it mean that the male college should be married and the female college should be married?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled again: "This is someone else's words, I can also have my own arguments, I can say, male colleges should not marry, female colleges should not marry."

"You are... Senior Sister, after all, that sentence is a convention."

Xia Zhaoyi chuckled lightly at the words "convention and custom", and she looked at the books in front of her that had been discussing "convention and convention".

"It's a matter of convention," Xia Zhaoyi said, "It may be right at a certain time, but it may not always be right."

"Can you be right sometimes and wrong sometimes?"

"Do you need rain during a drought, but do you need it during a flood?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.

Zhili nodded, then shook his head again: "No, Senior Sister, I didn't mean to talk about this, I just wanted to say, uh... By the way, it seems that there has been no news from Mr. Shen for a long time?"

The Shen Langjun that Zhili mentioned was only Shen Lie, so Xia Zhaoyi didn't need to ask who it was, and said, "He went to the left, and Zhao Ning mentioned it in today's letter."

"You said Mr. Shen has been here for so many years, why didn't you come to us?" Zhili said again.

Xia Zhaoyi frowned slightly: "It's up to him to come or not, I don't know."

"Go left," Zhili said thoughtfully, "I don't know what Shen Langjun is doing there."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Okay, why did I suddenly think of Shen Lie?"

"The few letters I wrote to Mr. Shen over the years have received no response. Maybe he doesn't like us," Zhili sighed, "When I said those harsh words just now, I thought of him easily. Outstanding, good family background, good skills, he is a rare person. However, appearance and family background are inborn, that's all, good skills, good manners, this is worthy of praise."

"You are really emotional." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Zhili frowned, and said: "I won't talk nonsense with Senior Sister, Senior Sister, you should go to bed early, and you have already memorized the book fluently, or we won't read it."

"Understood," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "See you tomorrow morning."

Before leaving, Zhili gently closed the study door.

Xia Zhaoyi withdrew his gaze, and his eyes fell on the plate of cakes that had been put down.

Speaking of which, she often thinks of Shen Lie. She has sent at least five letters in the past four years, but there is no reply. When she passed by Zuilu last year, she visited Guo's mansion, but the gate of Guo's mansion was almost trampled on. It's rotten, it is said that the name card she handed in will have to be queued for at least five days.

Xia Zhaoyi just passed by and couldn't stay, so he didn't go.

She also thought about whether those letters would be caught in the snowflakes sent to Guo's mansion, and be sent to the back kitchen as firewood, but that would be too exaggerated.

These years, she took Zhili, Lao Tong and Zhi Changle to many places, saying that they were traveling, but in fact they only lived in one place for three or four months, and then moved again.

The places she went to were all relatively remote and peaceful places. This time, Linning, although there is no way to compare with those bustling big cities, and the Bajiang Lake where she is now is in an extremely remote corner of Linning, but it is also her these few days. Relatively speaking, it is the most affluent place in the past year.

So fast, Xia Zhaoyi suddenly realized that in the blink of an eye, several years had passed.

The next morning, when Old Tong and the others woke up, Xia Zhaoyi had gone out as usual.

Every day, she would go climbing with a sandbag, and when she came back, she would take a long, long way to go to the market to buy some pancakes or steamed buns.

As the sun had risen, Lao Tong raised his hand to cover his forehead, and put the other hand on his waist.

Feeling something at this moment, he lowered his hands and raised his eyes to look forward.

Opposite the small courtyard is also a peach grove, full of vitality and colorful fallen flowers, in the peach blossoms, there seems to be a figure flashing past, but when the wind blows, Lao Tong wonders if he has misread it.

Zhi Changle came out wiping his face, looked around and said, "Ah Li hasn't come back yet."

"There seemed to be someone just now." Old Tong said, looking ahead.

"People are people, there are always people here," Zhi Changle said, "Liu Xianbao is not the only one who has a crush on Ah Li."

Old Tong nodded.

After ordering, I saw a girl timidly walking out of the peach grove, standing under a peach tree cautiously and watching them.

Clothes are tattered, hair is disheveled, like a beggar.
