fairy wife

Qiuqiu and Aunt Yan walked in front, and a disciple quickly caught up with him, and after a few steps away, he called out, "Senior Sister Su Qiu."

Qiuqiu stood still and turned her head.

Behind is a gatekeeper in a variegated suit.

If Qiuqiu wasn't taken in by Aunt Yan, it would be the same as what she should wear.

"Senior Sister Suqiu, this is your package, it seems to be brought from your home."

Qiuqiu was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly took it.

The half-worn blue cloth flower package is indeed the one commonly used at home.

"Where is the person who brought the things?"

The disciple shook his head.

Aunt Yan understood her mood: "Go and have a look, maybe the person who brought the things is still there."

Qiuqiu hurriedly nodded her head and ran away.

Aunt Yan called her from behind: "Slow down."

Qiuqiu answered from a distance.

But no matter how fast she ran, it was useless. When she reached the gate, the disciple guarding the gate politely told her that the one who brought the burden was a driver, not someone from Qiuqiu's family, so he put down the burden and left.

Qiuqiu's full of hope was completely extinguished by a basin of cold water, she responded in disappointment, stood blankly for a while, and then turned back.

When I came here, I was so anxious that I felt like I was going to fly, but when I went back, I was as heavy as if I had been filled with lead.

It's far away from home, so it's good to be able to carry things. There's no way for a scholar or a scholar's wife to go out so far, and they can't leave a mess of things at home.

In the baggage are two clothes, a pair of shoes, and two pairs of socks.

Qiuqiu picked up the shoes, which were made for her by Mrs. Xiucai herself.The soles are soft and thick, and Qiuqiu can almost imagine that she is in the yard in the afternoon, pinching the soles one stitch at a time.

Her eyes are not so good anymore, and she often cannot see the needles clearly.

In the past, Qiuqiu could help her at home, but what should she do now?

Qiuqiu held the pair of shoes and stuck them to her heart.

She is homesick.

It was still raining heavily outside.

She really thought that if she had never encountered all these grotesque things, she would definitely be staying at home right now, by the side of the scholar and his wife.

Round drops of water fell on the new dress on the table.A dark round mark was splashed.

Qiuqiu hurriedly wiped it, not daring to use too much force, for fear of wrinkling and damaging the clothes.

The clothes were measured on the body, and they were a little longer.

The scholar woman may think that Qiuqiu will grow taller, so she deliberately made it longer.But in fact, Qiuqiu didn't grow much, she thought.Maybe she will keep this height for the rest of her life.

Even if the size fits well, Qiuqiu will not wear it.

She was reluctant to wear it.

Qiuqiu opened the box, touched the clothes and shoes lovingly, and put them into the box reluctantly.

The man's voice came from behind: "Is this from home?"

Qiuqiu turned to look at him, nodded and said, "Yes."

She took one last look before closing the lid of the box.

The traces of the past life can only be kept in this way, in her heart.

The man came over.Stand beside her, and look at the topmost dress with her.

Qiuqiu closed the lid of the box.

Xiaolong jumped onto her shoulders.Gently licking her cheek, like a silent comfort.

Qiuqiu touched its small nose, indicating that she accepted the kindness.

Qiuqiu usually doesn't talk much, but today she talks even less.

It was raining outside, and the house seemed silent.

"When my little sister left home, my mother was very reluctant. When I had to leave, she really couldn't stand it. I followed someone out the door. I felt terrible, and I wanted to tell that person that I would not leave. I want to go back .”

But now she is still here, thousands of miles away from the scholar and his wife.

She misses home every day, and she thinks about it from time to time, what are they doing at this time?What are you doing?Did the scholar's lady suffer from low back pain again?

The younger sister is close to home, but it is rare for her to go back once a year.

Qiuqiu was even a little jealous of the younger sister.

Wouldn't it be great if I was also apprenticed to Xuannv?It's so close to home, it's easy to go back and have a look.

so far away now...

"If you want to go back, I can help you."

Qiuqiu looked up.

The man watched her quietly.

"It's too far away." Qiuqiu said softly.

Of course she wanted to go back.

But she can't leave the sect at will, because of her special physique, if she goes back, she is afraid that it will bring disaster to the scholar couple again.

"It's okay." He held out his hand.

Qiuqiu hesitated.

She slowly stretched out her hand and placed it in his palm.

"You close your eyes."

Qiuqiu looked at him again.

There was a calming power about this man, Qiuqiu closed his eyes.

Suddenly the palms tightened, and the body suddenly lost weight, as if it was suspended in the air all of a sudden, and the feet couldn't step on the ground, and the sound of howling wind came from my ears.

Qiuqiu was quite surprised, but her instinctive reaction was not to immediately open her eyes to see what happened, but to close her eyes even tighter, and tightly grasped that person's hand.

The man's arms wrapped around her, holding her in his arms.

Such a cherished hug did not make people feel offended in the slightest.

Just like that kiss in the rain that day.

How long did this feeling last?Maybe it wasn't that long, but Qiuqiu felt like... as if it had been a long, long time.

The feeling of this hug was not unfamiliar to her at all, it was familiar...it made her want to cry.

When his feet finally touched the ground, he said softly, "Okay, open your eyes."

Qiuqiu opened her eyes and was stunned.

In front of her was the familiar small courtyard and gate wall—she...she came back?

How is this possible, my home is thousands of miles away, how can it be possible to cross this distance in an instant?In this world...how could someone be so powerful?

"Go in and have a look."

Qiuqiu's hands were shaking, and the door knocker rattled, but she didn't hit the door properly.

A jade-white palm stretched out.Knocked on the door for her.

There was an incomparably familiar response from the door: "Who is it?"

When Qiuqiu heard the voice, tears filled her eyes instantly, she opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

The voice of the talented woman came from inside again: "Who is it?"

Her footsteps could be heard coming this way, and with a creak, the door was opened a crack.

Qiuqiu cried and called out, "Mother."

The basket held by the scholar's wife was tilted, and all the thread balls and rags in it fell down.

"Qiuer?"

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

Qiuqiu didn't know how she entered the room, how she sat down, or even what she and Mrs. Xiucai had said for a long time after entering the room.Both of them spoke in a hurry.Eager to listen—but more often, I looked greedily at the person in front of me with my eyes, held and rubbed tightly with my hands, and it was true that the other person really existed, not my imagination.

After the initial excitement.The mother and daughter are really starting to talk.The incoherent and anxious tears just now, although it was a long period of confusion, vented the melancholy accumulated in my heart. Although I am a little tired now, I feel relaxed.

"How's your family? How's dad? Where's your little brother? Have you ever suffered from back pain again?"

"How are you? Are you used to eating? Do you have enough clothes? Did anyone bully you? How well do people treat you there?"

The mother and daughter opened their mouths to ask a series of questions, and were stunned for a while.Qiuqiu laughed first, and so did Mrs. Xiucai.

She first said: "Everything is fine at home. Didn't your father keep saying that he wanted to take the exam again? He goes to Mr. Lin's every day to study and write essays together, and he only comes back after eating dinner there. Your brother also asked him to take the exam." , and Mr. Lin’s little grandson to open up together, and I’ll come back with your father later.”

"You are the only one left in the family that day?"

How lonely it was.

The scholar lady is not as fragile as Qiuqiu thinks, she has the time to sigh in sorrow and loneliness: "I'm busy, I can't finish cleaning all day long, but when I think about it carefully, I can't tell what I did this day. "

Housework chores are the most exhausting, repeating the same work every day.But it doesn't show up at first glance.Not to mention anything else, the three-foot pot, three meals a day are spent on it, every day, every year.

The scholar lady is no longer as beautiful as she used to be, and her waist is not as straight as before.

The years are really terrible and ruthless.

Qiuqiu also told her about the Ziyu Pavilion.He said that he worshiped a very good master, never beat or scolded her, never ordered her to work, and always secretly gave her something good.There were many people in the sect, and it was very lively. She also told Mrs. Xiucai about the last time she went out, went to the sea, went to the island, collected shells at the beach, looked for coral, and ate shrimp at the fisherman's house. She said and gestured to her: " Shrimp are that big."

The scholar scholar nodded with a smile. In fact, she didn't understand too much, but even if she didn't understand Qiuqiu, just looking at her and hearing her voice made her happy.

Qiuqiu is not really so obsessed with that experience on the island.She just tried her best to let Mrs. Xiucai understand and believe that her life was good and colorful, so that she could let go of her worries and stop worrying about her day and night.

Just as they were talking lively, Qiuqiu was gesturing at a crab as big as a small basin, when the door was called from outside.

Qiuqiu paused for a moment, and the lady scholar said, "Your father and the others are back."

"Mother, sit down, I'll open the door."

The scholar lady also stood up.

She couldn't bear to leave her daughter's eyes for a moment, and the two walked to the courtyard gate together.

Qiuqiu reached out and pulled the latch.

The younger brother looked at the person standing in the door with his mouth half open.

The scholar was also taken aback.

With tears in her eyes, the scholar lady said with a smile, "You don't come back sooner, let's see who's here?"

The younger brother yelled crisply: "Sister!"

After all, the scholar's self-cultivation skills are much deeper than that of his wife and children, so he nodded and said, "Qiu'er...why didn't you send a letter first when you came back?"

"Stop talking at the door, go in, go in."

The scholar asked, "Have you eaten?"

The scholar lady just remembered, oops, I was so busy talking, I didn't even go to cook.

Seeing her annoyed expression, Qiuqiu rolled up her sleeves: "Let me help mother, let's make steamed meat? I really want to eat steamed meat. I can't eat it when I go out."

The scholar lady pulled her sleeves and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's make steamed meat." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation .)
