32 Chapter 32
After eating at noon, Xu Lingyuan and Xu Siyuan set off with only one wooden barrel.They first went to Agui's house to get wild eggs, but Agui's mother insisted on giving them two more, which made Xu Lingyuan feel very embarrassed.
When they arrived at A Qi's house, A Qi had already prepared everything.
Although Xu Lingyuan said that he could bring Xu Siyuan there, A Qi still went with them. When they arrived at the lake, he first filled the wooden bucket with water and put it on the shore, then carried Xu Siyuan to the tree trunk and put it away, and put the bait in the bucket. He put his fishing rod on the branch, and finally stood in front of Xu Lingyuan, who was also planning to go there, hesitant.
"Aqi, what's the matter?" Xu Lingyuan looked at him and asked.
"It's okay." A Qi looked at him, then at Xu Siyuan who was sitting on the tree watching them, and suddenly he was about to leave.
"Hurry up, hurry up, otherwise you won't have a chance when I return to the city." Xu Lingyuan held him back and threatened jokingly, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he's okay, he really treats him like a child.
"I wanted to give it to you." A Qi finally mustered up the courage to confess, and took out something from his waist after speaking. "But I don't think you need it." He looked at the things in his hand and said with some embarrassment.
"What is this? A sachet?" Xu Lingyuan asked, looking at the things in his hand.
What Ah Qi held in his hand was a pink cloth bag, which was bulging inside, and a peach leaf was embroidered with green thread on the outside. It was as big as the palm of his hand, and the bag was locked with a rope of five colors. The length of the rope should be enough. Hang it around your neck like a modern day necklace.
"Well, I wear it during the Dragon Boat Festival. It contains peach leaves and wormwood, which can keep you safe." A Qi said with his head down.
"That's right, it's very pretty. Could it be you who embroidered it?" Xu Lingyuan teased him, "Are you really willing to give it to me?"
"My mother made it." Ah Qin said while touching the sachet, then handed it to Xu Lingyuan, "Here you are."
"Give it to me and you won't have it?" Xu Lingyuan refused.
"I've grown up, I don't need this anymore, here it is." A Qi still stretched out his hand and said. "This is mine before." He seemed afraid that Xu Lingyuan would dislike him.
"Then I really want it." Xu Lingyuan felt that if he didn't accept it, he would feel guilty, "It's so beautiful, you preserved it so well."
"You really like it?" A Qi looked at him and asked.
"Of course, I'm glad to receive the gift." Xu Lingyuan said with certainty.
Then I looked at the sachet in my hand and didn't know where to put it, and felt that it was too inconvenient to have no pockets on my clothes.Finally, he made up his mind to wear it around his neck, of course he put it inside his clothes, "It's mine now, you don't have to go back on it!" He pretended to be afraid that A Qi would snatch it.
"No." A Qi finally smiled and said, with an expression as if he was the one receiving the gift, Xu Lingyuan couldn't help being a little moved.
"I'm sorry, I don't have anything to give you now, but I will definitely give it to you when I come back." Xu Lingyuan couldn't help but hugged him and said, after all, to him, Aqi was still a child, but to him He is so nice.
"No need." A Qi said firmly. When Xu Lingyuan hugged him, he was stunned for a moment, and then when Xu Lingyuan was about to leave, he hugged him tightly.
"You are so kind to me, of course I want to give you something to please you, otherwise what will you do if you don't treat me well in the future?" Xu Lingyuan felt that he was getting more and more used to being a child, even such words like coquettish and shameless I can say, "You must want it, otherwise I don't feel relieved."
"Yeah." A Qi put his arms around him and said in a very happy tone.
"Thank you for the gift, I like it very much." Xu Lingyuan patted A Qi on the back, intending to leave.When hugging, he ignored the fact that A Qi was much taller than him, but when A Qi hugged him, he could only put his chin on A Qi's shoulder on tiptoe, it was still very hard to stand like this, "Then I'll go first Fishing."
"Yeah." Ah Qi let go of him, but when he was about to leave, he suddenly kissed him on the cheek, then turned around and ran away without looking at him.
"We'll leave the fishing rod at your door when we're done using it." Xu Lingyuan looked at his back and said, thinking it was very funny, he didn't expect A Qi to kiss him, although it was a bit strange, but he was not a girl, so give it a kiss It was too fast for him to be responsible.
Xu Lingyuan saw him running away, so he was going to go fishing in the tree. Xu Siyuan should be waiting impatiently.
"Are you in a hurry? Get up and rest for a while, your legs may feel a little numb after sitting for a long time." Xu Lingyuan said with experience, and then carefully helped Xu Siyuan up.Since he came here often, he already felt as if he was walking on the ground on the tree. Of course, the trunk of the tree lying on it was quite flat.
"Oh." Xu Siyuan stood up obediently, "Does elder brother like Aqi very much?" He asked.
"Well, we are good friends." Xu Lingyuan said while supporting him.
"Do good friends also hug and kiss? Only my aunts at home will treat me like this. I don't like them like that, but they say they are relatives and they like me, so they will do that." Xu Siyuan asked with some doubts .
"They are right. A Qi is very kind to me, just like a family member." Xu Lingyuan didn't expect him to ask this, but it's okay to hug him from a good friend. It doesn't matter, kid.But A Qi should be considered special to him, he is the first person who treats him so well, not because of the relationship of the original owner, he really treats him well.
"I'll be nice to big brother too!" Xu Siyuan said as if promising.
"I know, I will treat Siyuan well." Xu Lingyuan said with a smile.
"Brother, do you like me?"
"Of course, we are brothers." Xu Lingyuan said as a matter of course, he really likes this younger brother.
"But..." Xu Siyuan hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Xu Lingyuan looked at him and asked.
"But brother, you have never hugged me or kissed me." Xu Siyuan said a little aggrieved.
"Don't you dislike my aunt and the others treating you like this?" Did you mind this?It's not frank at all.
"That's different, you are my big brother." Xu Siyuan retorted, "I like being with big brother."
"Well, I like being with you too." Xu Lingyuan hugged him, then kissed him hard on the face, "Now we start fishing." Looking at his red face, Xu Lingyuan Ling Yuan smiled and asked him to sit down.He didn't expect that he was so popular, and it felt good.
He sat down and just picked up the fishing rod when there was a fish struggling on the hook. As he put the fish into the bucket, he lamented how lucky he was today.
However, bad things came soon.Holding an empty hook, he looked at the bait that A Qi had prepared for them, hesitating whether he should fish with an empty hook or not.
It turns out that a kind of red and thin earthworm is used for fishing here, which is too challenging for Xu Lingyuan.Because he is not afraid of cockroaches, toads, spiders, etc., but molluscs. Looking at the wriggling earthworms in the wooden box, Xu Lingyuan felt that they were crawling on his body.
As for why there was no such problem when fishing with A Qi and the others, it was because the bait was installed by A Qi for him, and there was no such problem at all.
"Brother, come quickly, this fishing rod has also caught fish!" Xu Siyuan said excitedly to him, holding the fishing rod resting on the branch.
After Xu Lingyuan put the fish into the wooden barrel, he looked at the two hooks, feeling extremely entangled and struggling.
"Brother, is it ready yet? Can we catch enough fish today for dinner?" Xu Siyuan asked while sitting on the tree.
"Wait a little longer." Xu Lingyuan said bravely.
There was no way, looking at the expectant eyes of the child, he could only decide to overcome his fear and give it a try.He first broke two twigs, used them to clamp an earthworm, clamped it in two, and then put them on the hook respectively. Of course, if his hands were not shaking all the time, the speed would be much faster.
Xu Lingyuan, who returned to the tree again, wiped the sweat from his head and palms, and sincerely prayed that the fish would not eat the hook.
The reason why he proposed fishing was because he thought fishing was very interesting, and sitting on the tree trunk, with the cool lake below and lush branches and leaves on it, he would not feel the heat at all, but now he thought of loading the bait, Some want to break out in a cold sweat, but seeing Xu Siyuan's interest is strong, he can only hold on.
After fishing for most of the afternoon, the results were not bad, there were actually a dozen or so fish.Seeing that it was almost done, Xu Lingyuan suggested to put away the fishing rod and go back. No amount of fish could offset the torture of earthworms.
Passing by Guchang, Xu Lingyuan went over to greet them, mainly to tell Aqi about the fishing rod.
When they found A Qi, A Qi's family was cleaning up the debris in the wheat grains, because it happened to be windy at this time.
There are many broken leaves and wheat awns in the wheat grains that are crushed with a stone roller. These things are very light. As long as they are facing the wind and raised high with a wooden spade, with the help of the wind, the wheat grains and sundries will be separated naturally when they hit the ground. .
A Qi sat and watched, and when he saw Xu Lingyuan and the others coming, he probably thought of his previous actions, and avoided his gaze with some embarrassment.
"Look at the fish we caught, isn't it good?" Xu Lingyuan put the fish bucket in front of him and said in a show-off tone deliberately.
"Yeah." A Qi took a look and said, seeing that Xu Lingyuan didn't care, he also relaxed a lot.
"We put the fishing rod next to your door." Then he said with some guilt: "Also, I forgot to take the box with the bait in it, shouldn't someone take it away?"
"No." Aqi looked at him and said.
"Then I'll go first, happy Dragon Boat Festival!" Xu Lingyuan said lightly, regardless of whether it would be said so here, because it would be great to not have to worry about the wooden box where the earthworms crawled around.Then he carried the bucket and left with Xu Sixuan.
Behind him, he didn't see A Qi staring at him all the time, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, but he was obviously very happy.
Looking at the back of Xu Lingyuan leaving, he was thinking why he had the courage to give him the sachet he kept, although when he had this idea, he just thought that Xu Lingyuan's stepmother might not He will prepare it for him, just want to give him his blessing, but when it is time to give it, he realizes that the other party is a young master, and he will definitely not care about his own things, but he still gives it to him, and he also hugs it. Then he kissed him, why did he do these things that didn't look like himself at all?
Thinking back on Xu Lingyuan's words and deeds, he felt that it was probably because Xu Lingyuan was really special, as if he would happily accept the sachet and didn't mind kissing him.Except for his mother, he had never been so close to anyone before, but when he saw Xu Lingyuan with the sachet he gave him, showing a very fond expression, he couldn't help kissing him, and felt that he had never been so happy and satisfied too.
