While Qin Muwen was cleaning up the yard, he happened to see Li Jin smiling and showing Chen Xiran the red paper with the name of the bun and the date of birth written on it.
A few nights ago, Li Jin wrote several names, and took it back to the bedroom with great interest to let him choose.
Qin Muwen could even imagine A Jin writing these names stroke by stroke while standing in the study. The yellowish candlelight sprinkled on his face, reflecting a pair of contemplative eyes, which must be particularly charming.
At that time, Qin Muwen took the paper with both hands and looked at each name carefully.
In the end, the choice is left to Li Jin.
After all, Ah Jin is the head of the family.
Li Jin finalized the word 'ruo', he said: "I hope Li Ruo will be like you in the future, and be as good as water."
Afterwards, Li Jin went to the study to practice writing the name of the steamed bun, leaving Qin Muwen sitting by the bed, quite at a loss.
Is Ah Jin complimenting him
But how can he be so good.
Qin Muwen buried his face in the quilt, until Li Jin came to rest in the evening, he felt that his face was still red.
Fortunately, the lights were off, so the color could not be seen.
As a scholar, Chen Xiran slapped the table when he saw the name and praised: "Good!"
Those who didn't know thought that Mr. Storyteller was talking about which paragraph, and the audience in the audience applauded.
Although Li Zhuzi takes care of Li Jin's family a lot, he still maintains the idea of paying more attention to sons and daughters than brothers. He does not pay much attention to the names of children like Chen Xiran.
He left the full moon gift he gave to his child and said, "Li Jin, I'm still going up the mountain to chop wood, so I'll go back first."
Zhou Gui had already learned that Li Zhuzi was related to Li Jin's mother family. He saw that Li Jin was kept by Chen Xiran, so he sent Li Zhuzi to the door and said a few words.
Li Zhuzi, a rough man, didn't know where to put his hands. He said, "Why are you being so polite to me? You can be on duty at the medical clinic in town."
Zhou Gui was in charge of the reception at Xinglintang. He had never made any mistakes over the years, and he was very good at dealing with people and things.
He said, "Doctor Li counts me as half of my master. You are his eldest brother. I should be polite to you."
Li Zhuzi was stunned.
When I went back, I almost stepped on my left foot.
Of course, this is just a small episode, after Chen Xiran said it well.
Suddenly, he looked at Li Jin eagerly: "A Jin, your writing is really getting better and better, and I want to practice calligraphy too!"
His relationship with Chen Xiran is getting better and better, and he is no longer the first to call 'Li Xiandi' politely.
Li Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Don't you like holding a pen? If you want to write well, diligent practice is the first priority.
Think of Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher back then, who practiced calligraphy by the ink-washing pond, and finally made the water in the pond into the color of ink. Only then did he write calligraphy that amazes the world. "
Chen Xiran's eyes widened: "I understand the truth, so, I don't think I can be too far behind you. How long you practice Chinese characters every day, I will practice as long as you like."
He thought that Li Jin was so busy every day, and he definitely didn't have much time to practice calligraphy. He didn't want to catch up with Li Jin, so the same amount of time as Li Jin practiced was enough.
Li Jin smiled and said, "Really?"
Chen Xiran patted his chest: "Of course it's true."
Li Jin took out the rough edged paper he used to practice calligraphy from under the desk, and pointed to the handwriting on it.
"I haven't counted the time, but I write at least ten big characters every day. You can practice like this when you go back."
Chen Xiran: "...Ten, ten?"
Li Jin is serious: "You just patted your chest and agreed."
Chen Xiran finally had a bitter face, and promised that he would practice calligraphy like this when he went back.
Xiao An accompanied Awen to clean up the yard, while Zhou Gui helped to put away the wine jar.
These jars have to be returned to the restaurant in the town tomorrow, and if they are broken, they will lose money.
The little bun was especially festive when it was a full moon. He was wearing new clothes and a little cinnabar mole between his eyebrows. He smiled happily in his father's arms.
Xiao An finally waited until everyone was gone, and hurriedly said to Qin Muwen, "Let me come and hug the buns, it's too beautiful."
Baozi gave special face to his two fathers today, and he never cried, but when he was not in his father's arms, his face was aggrieved, and he couldn't smile at all.
And the eyes have been looking at Daddy pitifully, as if hoping that Daddy will hold him back.
But his grandfather didn't understand Baozi's demands at all.
Instead, he said to Xiao An, "If you come to play often, Baozi will be familiar with you."
Fortunately, Baozi didn't understand, otherwise he would really cry and show his father.
After all, Xiao An is someone else's husband. When he was talking with Qin Muwen just now, Chen Xiran and Zhou Gui were both in the study.
After he left, Chen Xiran urged Li Jin to carry Li Ruo out.
He is familiar with him quickly, and just knew the name of the steamed bun, and he was called.
Li Jin knew that Chen Xiran wanted to give the full moon gift to the child, and did not refuse. After entering the house, he said a few words to the young man, and held Li Ruo in his arms.
Chen Xiran looked at Li Ruo, who was as cute as a porcelain doll, and really wished that this was his own cub.
In the end, he could only give out the gift, and then said with a sad face: "This child is like you, good-looking. I have to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law and give birth to a beautiful cub."
Chen Xiran's gift to Baozi was a small hat with a layer of snow-white fur, which looked particularly warm.
It has been more than July recently, and it will gradually turn cooler after the autumnal equinox on September 23.
Chen Xiran's consideration can be considered quite long-term.
He said, "This is a gadget that my father brought back from the county a few days ago. I thought it was suitable for Li Ruo, so I brought it."
Li Jin thanked: "Li Ruo seems to like it very much."
No, this is probably the first time a child has seen something with such a burr edge, and his attention has been attracted, and it seems that he really wants to keep it for himself.
Li Jin held the hat in front of Li Ruo, and Li Ruo laughed immediately.
Chen Xiran breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "My mother said that children like this kind of stuff, and she's right."
The full moon gift Zhou Gui gave Li Ruo was a tiger head doll sewn by himself, which was used to exorcise evil spirits and keep him safe. Li Jin also thanked him.
Putting the tiger head doll on the other side of the hat, Li Ruo looked at this for a while, but didn't know how to choose.
His reaction amused everyone.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Jin sent Chen Xiran and Zhou Gui to the entrance of the village. They walked together on the road, which was safer.
"Okay, don't give it away, Li Ruo can't see that Daddy should cry."
Li Jin smiled and said, "Then be careful on the road."
If Chen Xiran came to Li Jin's bakery last time, few people knew about it.
Then Chen Xiran helped Li Jin entertain guests today, and the whole village knew about it. And it's not just Chen Xiran who entertains guests, but also the apprentices of Xinglintang.
Most people in the village may not know Chen Xiran's identity, but just looking at the brocade clothes, they can think that this person was born either rich or expensive.
The brothers who had bullied Qin Muwen before knew Chen Xiran's identity. They originally planned to ask for a drink, and then apologized to Qin Muwen, wanting to reveal the last incident.
But when they saw Chen Xiran, they all flinched.
- Isn't it wrong to apologize so empty-handed
Their brothers are the helpers of that family.
And the eldest young master was drinking with the villagers.
Until the end of the full moon ceremony, Qin Muwen did not see those brothers.
In fact, he has almost forgotten what happened before, and even if he recalls it now, he can face it with a very peaceful mood.
In fact, neither he nor A Jin will care about their irony and contempt now.
I live my life by myself, and staring at others blindly makes my life less fun.
Qin Muwen thought that he felt that he had a good life, and he didn't need the sympathy of others, let alone false pity.
There are three steps in the full moon ceremony: setting wine, shaving hair, and moving the nest.
Now that the first two steps have been completed, the last step to move the nest is to let daddy carry the child to the house of someone he has a good relationship with, commonly known as visiting.
Li Jin said, "I told Brother Zhuzi, let's take Li Ruo to his house."
Qin Muwen had already packed a basket of eggs as a thank you gift. Today, my sister-in-law came to help a lot, so she must return the gift.
He used to watch Li Jin leave in return for favors, but now he can do it himself.
Chen Xiran walked with Zhou Gui to the town, and he patted his head as he walked.
"I always feel like something is missing."
Zhou Gui was taken aback: "Brother Chen, there are many things."
Chen Xiran: "It's not a thing. I wanted to tell Li Jin something before, why did I forget it."
Zhou Gui was silent, he found that the eldest young master was actually very easy to get along with, and Chen Xiran was occasionally confused, which made people feel closer.
Chen Xiran suddenly remembered and said, "I heard from my group of friends that the top brand of Piaoxiangyuan is ill. No one has been seen this month, and I don't know when the disease will heal."
However, Zhou Gui, who knew the truth, was even more silent.
It's nothing more than that the top card is accidentally happy. Of course, the child must be gone now.
Chen Xiran looked at Zhou Gui's face and said, "You are still young and don't care about these things. When you reach the age of A Jin and I, you will definitely think of Wenrou Township every day."
Zhou Gui is also a real person. He said, "I think Doctor Lai is learning every day."
Can't imagine these things.
Chen Xiran said seriously: "That's because he has a handsome husband in his family. You see how beautiful Li Ruo is, not because the two dads are beautiful."
Zhou Gui thought, that's true. Doctor Li and his husband both have top-notch looks and temperament.
Chen Xiran added: "I told Li Jin earlier that I had passed the exam and went to Piaoxiang Garden together, but he didn't agree! But don't people in town do the same thing?"
As a person in the medical center, Zhou Gui knew a lot of the secrets of Piaoxiang Garden, but he didn't know how to tell the eldest young master for a while.
In the end, he could only mumble, "Doctor Li, keep yourself clean."
Chen Xiran agreed with ten thousand words, Li Jin was indeed very different from his previous friends.
Li Jin has the perseverance of a scholar from a poor family, but he is more principled than someone from the same background.
Therefore, he was willing to make a sincere friend like Li Jin.
