Husband and Father Youwei

Chapter 18 Young Master Zhou Qi

It's just that although the child came back to his senses completely, Tu An, who didn't get a reply from him, was still yelling "Beautiful brother", and the child quickly changed from panic and fear of almost falling to death, into a panic, and he bared his teeth and clawed at him. He yelled: "I've said it all, don't say I'm beautiful, don't say that, don't say that—" While talking, he struggled to get off Tu Lin and Ruan Tang.

Tu Lin and Ruan Tang put him down, only to see that he was about to pounce on Tu An as soon as his feet touched the ground, and Tu An reacted very quickly, taking a step back to avoid the child's grasping hand . But the child was not willing to let go, and rushed towards Tu An again.

Naturally, Tu An couldn't let him catch him, so he turned around and ran, and the child ran after him, yelling as he ran, telling Tu An to stop.

Seeing that his young master was caught safe and sound, and he seemed to have nothing wrong with him, he was still able to run and dance very energetically, Mr. Qian breathed a sigh of relief as if he had recovered his life, and even more so. He was grateful to Tu Linhe for asking him to thank them for saving his young master Zhou Qi.

On the other side, Zhou Qi has already chased Tu An around the small hall twice, but compared with Tu An who grew up in the countryside, Zhou Qi, who has been pampered since birth, is more beautiful than Tu An. He is still a few years older, but his physical strength is not as good as Tu An's.

So the two of you ran and I chased after for a while, Zhou Qi was already out of breath, and her speed slowed down significantly. On the other hand, Tu An was not blushing or out of breath, and was always about an arm away from Zhou Qi The distance, a look of ease.

"...You, you, stop!" Zhou Qi was so breathless that she could hardly speak, but she still persistently ran after Tu An, with the appearance of swearing that she would not stop unless she was caught.

Mr. Qian at the side saw his young master working hard, and wanted to step forward to help stop Tu An, but he was worried about Tu Lin and Ruan Tang. After all, they had just rescued Zhou Qi, so they could only watch helplessly. move.

Seeing that there was no way for the two children to run down like this, Tu Lin called out "Xiao An". Although he didn't say it clearly, Tu An immediately understood what he meant, so he stopped and stopped running.

But Zhou Qi didn't want Tu An to stop suddenly, the two of them were not far away, and due to inertia, Zhou Qi bumped directly into Tu An's body, and the two children immediately fell into a ball.

Mr. Qian at the side hurried over to help Zhou Qi who was still thrashing on Tu An's body. When Zhou Qi fell, she forgot her previous anger, but said, "Why, why didn't you run away all of a sudden?"

Tu An, who was also helped up by Ruan Tang, said innocently, "You didn't let me run away." Did you stop?"

Zhou Qi thought, it seemed so, and she was a little speechless, but she still felt a little aggrieved in her heart for some reason.

At this moment, the attendants left behind by Butler Wang had already called for people to come. Steward Wang led the way, and a group of men and women familiar to Tu Lin rushed into the small hall again. Chi held her in her arms.

"Master, I found you. You really scared the nanny to death. Come on, go back with the nanny to see the old lady. The old lady is anxious to see you." The young woman hugged Zhou Qi full of fear and joy, After finishing speaking, he wanted to pick up Zhou Qi and walk out.

But Zhou Qi broke away from her hand all of a sudden, ran up to Ruan Tang who was holding Tu An, waved her small fist, stared at Tu An and said loudly: "You, don't call me beautiful anymore, do you hear me?"

Seeing Zhou Qi's fierce look, Tu An nodded obediently, and said, "I heard that." Zhou

Qi was satisfied at this point, raised her chin and snorted, and said, "You're smart. By the way, What's your name?"

Tu An said, "My name is Tu An."

"Tu An," Zhou Qi said once, as if he was memorizing it seriously, and then said to Tu An: "I remember, my name is Zhou Qi, and you should remember it too, do you understand? Alright, I'm going to see grandma, goodbye."

Zhou Qi seemed very confident that Tu An would remember her name, and without waiting for Tu An's response, she finished speaking on her own, and said goodbye to Tu An politely , and then walked out of the hall, followed closely by a group of servants.

"You two, thank you very much today." Butler Wang came late, and he didn't know that Zhou Qi fell from the beam and was rescued by Tu Lin and Ruan Tang, but Mr. Qian saw the whole process, so naturally I wanted to tell him, so I stepped forward to thank Tu Lin and Ruan Tang at this time.

Zhou Qi is the young master of the Zhou family, and Tu Lin and Ruan Tang are the great benefactors of the Zhou family for saving him, so they deserve a lot of thanks. So Steward Wang asked Tu Lin and the others to stay for a while, and he sent someone to send letters to Zhou Qi's parents, that is, the third master and third young wife of the Zhou family, and thank them in person when they came back.

But Tu Lin declined, because it was late now, and he had to go to his sister Tu Xinmei's in-law's house, and the return journey would take a lot of work, but he didn't have much time to wait, and they were already involved in today's matter Among them, there are certain responsibilities. It is best that the young master of the Zhou family has nothing to do now, but it is shameful to be thanked.

Steward Wang learned what happened from Mr. Qian, and it is understandable why Tu Lin dared not accept thanks. He also saw that Tu Lin was really embarrassed, thinking that the master, third master and third young lady of the family are going out to visit friends now I don't know when she will come back. The old lady is old and weak, and she dare not let her know about such a thrilling incident. It is not appropriate for the masters of the other rooms to come forward.

In a few days or so, Tu Lin will come again, and by then the master, the third master, and the third young lady will have known about it, so it's not too late to say thank you or not, so I won't force it anymore.

The matter was over, and Tu Lin left again. Although Steward Wang didn't want to keep them anymore, he ordered someone to prepare a gift for Tu Lin and the others. An and the others couldn't find Zhou Qi so quickly.

Tu Lin saw that they were just pastries, tea, silk and other things, and there was nothing particularly rare and expensive, so he didn't refuse any more. Afterwards, Steward Wang and Mr. Qian personally sent them out.

After leaving the gate of Zhou's house, Tu Lin and Ruan Tang glanced at each other, both of them were somewhat complicated. No one expected that the Zhou family and his party would have such a big twists and turns, and they couldn't help sighing. Fortunately, there was no major trouble in the end, and the charcoal was successfully sold, which was a worthwhile trip.

After leaving Zhou's house, it was almost noon, and the three of them couldn't help feeling hungry. Before going out, Tu Lin and Ruan Tang had already thought that they would have lunch outside at noon, so they had prepared dry food in advance. In the morning, Ruan Tang made rice balls with rice from Tu's house and wrapped them with bacon. The stuffing mixed with eggs, mushrooms and fungus tastes very good, but after all the morning, it is already a little cold.

Now that the charcoal is selling smoothly, and with the little silver taels in his pocket, Tu Lin didn't want to wrong Ruan Tang and Tu An, and planned to find a better restaurant so that the whole family could have a good meal, but Ruan Tang was used to frugality. He couldn't help persuading him, Tu Lin just wanted to make Ruan Tang and Tu An happy, and seeing Ruan Tang's reluctance, he didn't insist.

The three of them walked on the street again, and finally stopped in front of a mutton soup shop. Tu Lin turned his head and asked Ruan Tang what he meant. Ruan Tang saw that this small mutton soup shop had a simple storefront, not like the kind of shop that would kill people, and there was a burst of strong smell of haggis soup inside. Tu An couldn't bear it. Can't help swallowing saliva, then nodded, agreed.

The three of them got out of the bullock cart and planned to settle their lunch here. There were also two tables outside the mutton soup shop, because they had to watch the ox carts, so the three of them did not enter the shop.

The mutton soup shop mainly sells mutton soup. In addition, there are only dough pancakes to accompany the mutton soup, and mutton can also be sandwiched in it. Tu Lin was afraid that Tu An would get upset if he ate cold rice balls, so he bought one for him, while he and Ruan Tang ate the rice balls they brought with mutton soup.

After eating a bowl of mutton soup, the whole person was warm from head to toe. Seeing that Ruan Tang and Tu An were still eating, Tu Lin went to pay the bill first. After Ruan Tang and Tu An finished eating, the three of them left the mutton soup restaurant together, and then wandered around the county town.

The rice meat and other things they brought from the old house last time are almost enough to eat. Now that Tu Lin and the others have money, they don't want to go to Tu's house to get it again. The county bought enough for them to eat for a while.

In addition to food such as rice noodles, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. are also essential, and there are some daily necessities, such as lamp oil, toilet paper, etc. Finally, Tu Lin and the others went to a cloth shop.

Seeing that the weather is getting colder day by day, although Tu Lin and the others also have cotton coats and quilts to keep out the cold, they are already very old and thin. Now that they have money, they don't want to settle for it anymore, and are going to buy some new clothes and bedding.

They picked enough fabric from the cloth shop to make two cotton coats and two quilts for each person, and went to the grocery store to buy the cotton they needed, and finally they found a tailor with a cart full of things.

At first, when Tu Lin said that he planned to find a tailor to make clothes and quilts, Ruan Tang objected. Although he is average in needlework and doesn't know anything about embroidery, he can still make simple clothes and sew quilts. But Tu Lin said that three hundred catties of silver frost charcoal would be sent to Zhou's house in three days, and he alone would be too busy. Ruan Tang must help him, so he would have no time to do needlework.

You can't spend much money on the left and right, and if you have that kind of effort, it's better to burn an extra kiln of charcoal. Ruan Tang thought about it, and felt that what Tu Lin said made sense, so he didn't say anything more.

After putting down the cloth and cotton at the tailor shop, they gave a part of the deposit and exchanged a deed detailing the time and date, the quantity of cloth and cotton, the amount of the deposit, and the pick-up date, before Tu Lin and the others left the tailor shop.

Afterwards, the three of them walked around the county town again, and when they saw that it was almost time, they led the ox cart towards the city gate, and left the city to Zhuxi Village where Tu Xinmei's in-laws lived.

Zhuxi Village, where Tu Lin's sister, Tu Xinmei, is also Ruan Tang's natal family, is only two or three miles away from Fengyang County. to the place.

At the entrance to the village, Tu Lin and Ruan Tang got off the bullock cart and walked into the village. It was just after lunch, and the doors of every house were wide open, and people who came out to stroll around, naturally found Tu Lin and Ruan Tang.
